There Is A Safe Way To Open The Economy Back Up Again-- And Then There Is The Republican Way... Which Could Bring On Curve Steepening, Economic Depression And Food Shortages
I started listening to Chris Martenson's daily coronavirus podcasts in late January and the posting them at *DWT* a few weeks later. Lucky for me and for some of the readers. Because of Martsenson's warnings I got an early understanding of what this pandemic was going to be like-- and what I could do to protect myself and my family and friends. Long before it was too late, we all had N-99 and N-95 respirator masks. I bought 3 months worth of root vegetables, pasta, dried beans, grain, cooking oil, paper goods, bottled water, etc. I moved much of my retirement savings from equitie... more »
Philip Vincent Bruce, 1968-2020
Philip Vincent Bruce was born November 25, 1968 in Columbus, Ohio, and died April 21, 2020 in the home of his parents, Robert and Norma Bruce, in Upper Arlington, Ohio. He so longed to be in his own home in Canal Winchester where he'd lived for many years, however, a diagnosis of glioblastoma on October 1, 2019 meant he needed around the clock care in his last months. Phil attended Tremont, Jones and Upper Arlington High School, graduating with the class of 1987, enjoying all the amenities of the pools, parks and athletic leagues growing up, and the spiritual guidance and programs of... more »
I suppose it's cheaper than fixing the actual console . . .
Back in January I reported on two incidents involving Airbus A350 airliners, where pilots' beverages had been spilled onto the center console, resulting in serious technical problems. This led to an emergency order defining a "liquid free zone" in the cockpit until further measures could be developed. Now Airbus has announced a more permanent solution (you should pardon the expression). Airbus has developed a removable cover for A350 integrated control panels, designed to protect vital systems from inadvertent liquid spills in the cockpit, after two incidents which preceded uncomm... more »

Here’s When Each State Plans to Reopen
Keely Sharp April 22, 2020 Governors are looking at reopening states now that the peak for coronavirus cases is behind us. When is your state planning to reopen? Many states are looking at May 1st. However, some states have yet to announce an end. Yikes. Last week, President Trump issued guidelines “that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states.” “Governors will be empowered to tailor an approach that meets the diverse circumstances of their own states,” he stated. “And some states will be able to open up sooner than others.... more »

Which Moons in Our Solar System Have Best Chance for Life?

U.S. Air Force Just Deployed F-35 Stealth Fighters on Russia’s Doorstep
*David Axe* *Security, * F-35 stealth fighters just landed in Alaska. Two F-35 stealth fighters just landed in Alaska. The F-35s’ arrival at Eielson Air Force Base in the Alaskan interior marks the beginning of a major expansion of U.S. air power just east of Russia. The two single-engine F-35As flew directly from Lockheed Martin’s factory in Fort Worth, Texas to Eielson. An array of Alaska-based Air Force aircraft met the F-35s over the northern state, including a KC-135 tanker, three F-16s and two F-22s. The Air Force has stood up a fighter squadron to operate the F-35s in Al... more »

Speaking to a Russian television station on Sunday, the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said that Russia’s newest, and possibly most capable tank ever, has undergone field testing in Syria. “Yes, that’s right.

Why Does This Gun Cost $7,500?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* What is the Field Pistol useful for? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The “Field Pistol” is not a pistol for most people, but it’s not meant to be. While not a mantlepiece, the practical use it’s designed for is incredibly niche. The FK BRNO 7.5 Field Pistol made quite a splash when it landed in the United States. A $7,500 pistol that fired a proprietary 7.5mm round, most derided it as a mantlepiece pistol for the extremely rich. But marketing for the pistol suggests a variety of practical uses for the pistol, from combat to hunting. Is ther... more »

How Have Prisons Dealt With Pandemics?
*Hilary Marland, Clare Anderson, William Murphy* *History, World* [image: Reuters] Coronavirus is the latest pandemic to hit prisons, but what can history tell us about the appropriate response? “As the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks havoc across the world, the alarm has been sounded in prisons too”, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative reported early in April. It wasn’t wrong. Jails are high-risk environments for disease, where pathogens are easily transmitted.

More important, tanks are more endangered than ever by smart weapons such as laser-guided anti-tank missiles.

But an autonomous ship that can talk in human – or at least human-like speech – might make flesh-and-blood sailors less nervous about encountering robot vessels at sea. Concerned that the advent of unmanned surface ships can result in collisions with manned vessels, the Navy wants technology that will enable robot ships that talk like humans. The... more »

COVID-19: A Diabolical US Anti-China Plot?
Let us make it simple. The Corona viris is an obvious biological to weaponize. Thus it was essentailly weaponized. At that point it was taken one step short of been a working weapon. Most likely every level four lab has such samples. For that reason alone, when the Wuhan lab was created, spies would have worked on acquiring an inventory of such samples. From that point it is as simple as a student doing a private experiment for something to go wrong. So no blame to anyone needs to be assigned. My main point is that student error and outright slopiness is the highest possi... more »

Big Guns, Big Problems: Russia Is Outgunning The U.S. Army's Artillery
*Michael Peck* *Security, * “Against a powerful opponent such as Russia, cover, concealment, and deception will be essential. Field artillery units must train that way.” *Here's What You Need To Remember: *RAND warns that U.S. gunners will have to do something they haven’t done for a while: practice defending themselves against attack. American artillery batteries will be stalked by armed drones, attack helicopters, and strike aircraft. Russian tank crews are even practicing “carousel” tactics to break through enemy lines and hunt down hostile artillery. The U.S. Army’s big guns... more »
Chronic Conditions: A Double-Edged Sword During Coronavirus
*Laurie Archbald-Pannone* *Health, * [image: Dr Greg Gulbransen takes part in a telemedicine call with a patient while maintaining visits with both his regular patients and those confirmed to have the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at his pediatric practice in Oyster Bay, New York, U.S., April 13, 2] Patients need to manage their conditions—but they also have to avoid hot-zones like hospitals. Amid the stress and confusion of coronavirus shutdowns and social distancing orders, it can seem to older patients as though everything is on pause. Clinics have postponed regular office vi... more »
Moscow Is Taking Action To Combat Russian Draft Dodging
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* But some people are still slipping through. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Russian servicemen still face the brutal hazing that is a legacy of the Soviet military. Still, most Russian men will never serve time in the ranks. The Russian government is cracking down on draft dodgers in a bid to find recruits for its military. It is also going after websites that help potential draftees escape service in a military known for harsh and spartan living conditions, and which is increasingly relying on volunteers instead of conscripts. Russia’s Min... more »
What Good Is A 355-Ship Battlefleet If The Navy Can't Repair It?
*Michael Peck* *Technology, Americas* Navy shipyards need twenty years of investment to fix this problem. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The problem is that all of this will take time. It will take four years to add additional sailors, and twenty years to bring shipyards up to capacity. And the Navy may be underestimating the cost of fixing its shipyards. “The Navy estimated in 2018 that this effort will require $21 billion over 20 years to implement,” said the GAO. Maintenance for U.S. Navy ships is so backlogged that the problem will take decades to fix. “The Navy has se... more »

REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino] And he's egging on his supporters to do the same. The COVID-19 coronavirus has infected more than two million people and killed more than 150,000 in almost 200 countries — figures that will be outdated by the time you read this article.

Fantasy Or Fact? U.S. Special Forces May Soon See You Through Walls
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* You can run, but you can't hide. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The device has to be easy to use and reliable. “For the operator to be willing to carry/operate an additional system, along with all of his other equipment, the system performance needs to be high; a system with low detection rates or high false detection rates will be left behind.” For Dungeons & Dragons roleplayers, part of the fun of make-believe adventure is searching for hidden chambers where the monsters keep their treasure. For that matter, it's a familiar theme in ... more »
Could Sig Sauer's P320 Pistol Dethrone The Mighty Glock?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * It likely comes down to the P320’s differences, rather than its similarities to the Glock *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The P320’s primary difference from the Glock lies in it’s “fire control group”, a metal component that lays within the plastic frame that houses the trigger, sear, and parts that interface with safeties in the slide and the striker. While the Glock also features a similar component, it is solidly attached to the Glock’s polymer frame and cannot be removed. Sig Sauer’s P320 is perhaps Glock’s most successful competitor in the wor... more »
Israel's New Laser Weapon Could Be Decisive Against Hamas' Terror Attacks
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* Hamas has been known to launch flaming kites and explosives against Israel. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The hard part is hitting these targets. But a concentrated beam of light hits its target practically instantaneously, and a laser won’t run out of ammunition as long as it has enough electrical power. Israel is turning to a high-tech weapon to stop a low-tech threat. Kites, balloons and even inflated condoms, launched across the Gaza border into southern Israel by Hamas and other Palestinian groups, have become a major problem for... more »
