Four Charm Quarks In A Bundle
Fundamental science works by alternating phases of interpretation and refutation. When interpreting the result of experiments, physicists spend their time sweating shirt after shirt in the attempt of formulating economical and coherent explanations of observed phenomena. If the process converges, they formulate a theory which works well, whereby they celebrate for a little while. Then a second phase starts, when hypotheses are formulated on how to refute the shiny new model, finding effects and observatons that do not fit in the formulated framework. And so on. read more
Cholesterol Is Rising In Asian Countries, Dropping In The West
A few decades ago, Asian diets were regarded as superior because lower incomes meant they ate less meat - and those who were tested had less cholesterol, a substance found in the blood that the body uses to build healthy cells, but which can lead to a build-up in blood vessels. Cholesterol has been correlated to a risk factor for a risk factor for heart attacks. read more

Security In Iraq Jun 8-14, 2020
For the third week in a row violence declined in Iraq. There was a large jump in attacks in May as the Islamic State announced a new offensive. That appears to be over for now.

The Baghdad International Airport, the Green Zone, and Taji Base twice were hit. This coincided with the start of negotiations between Baghdad and Washington for a new security agreement.

The Poet: Mary Oliver, “October”
*“October”* "There’s this shape, black as the entrance to a cave. A longing wells up in its throat like a blossom as it breathes slowly. What does the world mean to you if you can’t trust it to go on shining when you’re not there? and there’s a tree, long-fallen; once the bees flew to it, like a procession of messengers, and filled it with honey. I said to the chickadee, singing his heart out in the green pine tree: little dazzler little song, little mouthful. The shape climbs up out of the curled grass. It grunts into view.

I’m doing a perspective-shifting practice that I’d recommend to anyone: now and then, wherever you are, look at the scene in front of you as though it’s happening without you.

KS-23: Meet the Soviet Union’s Biggest Shotgun
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC15251C0D00&share=true] 12 gauge shotguns are puny by comparison—it’s more like a small-caliber, handheld artillery piece. The KS-23 is possibly the largest shotgun ever designed by the Soviet Union or Russia. At 23 millimeters in diameter, the KS-23 easily dwarfs the smaller but ubiquitous 12 gauge shotgun, which is 18.5 millimeters in diameter.

Why Is North Korea Starting a Crisis Now?
*Salvatore Babones* *Security, Asia* Something is going on in the North that is, as yet, invisible to outside observers. Remember that Kim Jong-un disappeared for three weeks in April-May, and has only rarely been seen since. His sister, Kim Yo-jong, has suddenly taken on a much more prominent—and much more militant—role in governing the country, even apparently taking it upon herself to issue orders to the military in her own name. Is brother Kim sick? Is sister Kim taking over the family business? When North Korea wants to hang up the phone, it doesn’t just put the receiver ba... more »

I understand there’s a Twitter storm about this appointment. I think we need to talk about the current cultural revolution. How massive is it? Before Brexit, we were made to understand that Brexiteers were just a small minority. (of racists and xenophobes) Same thing with Conservative voters. We were made to believe - to actually fear - that Jeremy Corbyn was about to move into number ten. Now that everything is so woke - so BLM - that non-lefties are cowering in terror.

Refusing to Take a Knee Doesn't Make You Racist
*David Harsanyi* *Politics, Americas* Well, most Americans want to find ways to improve everyone’s lot, even if they have different ideas about how to accomplish it. “Pick a knee,” says CNN’s S. E. Cupp, “The one that knelt on a neck or the one that knelt to try to prevent it.” This kind of ugly false choice—either you adopt my favored form of political protest or you support murder!—is meant to bully you into participating in groupthink. Worse, it’s meant to shame the target of Cupp’s exhortation into taking ownership of racism, an evil that may have nothing to do with him. I f... more »
How Sweden Is Beating the Coronavirus
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, Europe* “Having restaurants with outdoor seating available for people is a smart, low-risk thing to do. Having public places and parks, other places people can go to get outside, is a smart thing to do and low risk.” Sweden’s less rigid response to COVID-19 came under sharper attack in the past week after having enjoyed popular support. It’s still difficult, however, to judge the success or failure of the policy. Sweden has had a lower number of new cases of the coronavirus, with fewer deaths than some European countries but still more than its closest ... more »
Homework from Feynman (1997-1998): formulate string theory
Beauty: Robbert Dijkgraaf, the director of IAS Princeton and once a co-author of misogynist homophobic capitalist racists, wrote a wonderful Quanta Magazine essay about the two types of beauty in mathematics, generic and exceptional. The exceptional taste of beauty seems more generic ;-) among scientists but the generic sense of beauty is ultimately needed, too.

Are Democrats trying to kill LGBTQ people?

The same #FakeNews media that is saying that was great is saying that Trump is a monster to plan to hold a rally. The point is simple.

Every word out of the #FakeNews media's mouths is a lie.
The real Joe Biden: Corrupt racist radical
Joe Biden once told a lobbyist for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees(AFSCME) the following: “you are going to lose this issue. You are going to lose this issue because the Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment sounds good and the American people are stupid and will support anything that sounds good.” Remember the person quoting Biden here is a union man through and through and even better a government union man. His job was to ensure that the Deep State workers get more than the workers who pay their salaries. This isn't some untrustworthy conserva... more »

Presaging the Disasters
By the time a nation diagnoses the disasters it faces, in most cases, it's already past the stage at which they can be expunged. A good standard of living cannot be maintained without the capacity to foresee the coming disasters and making preparations to protect society. From the knowledge of the past (history and traditions), people gain an insight into the experiences of their ancestors, and they develop the talent for assessing the present for signs of future disasters.
