The comments, by Frits Rosendaal, … Continue reading French hydroxychloroquine study has “major methodological shortcomings” and is “fully irresponsible,” says review, but is not being retracted

A nuclear test, the Washington Post reported in May, could be used as leverage in negotiations with China and Russia. The news provoked w... more »

5 Worst Battleship Disasters in Naval History

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* In nearly every case the accidents provoked serious investigation and proved deeply embarrassing to the navies involved. Battleships were enormous investments of national treasure. They did not merely represent national power; they were the physical manifestations of that power. They embodied the prestige of the nation, with all of the emotional commitment that implies. This made it especially heart-breaking when battleships were sunk in action. But it was perhaps worse when battleships were lost to no fault of the enemy at all. No enemy hardly m... more »

In Ontario, health care is a mess. Bob Hepburn writes: As he launches a major campaign-style road show this week that will see him travel nearly 5,000 kilometres across the province this summer, Premier Doug Ford will be thanking beleaguered health-care workers for their dedication and hard work during the pandemic. The truth is that Ford has made the lives of health care workers much more difficult: Ford’s actions — all made with the clear goal of cutting costs — have produced few, if any positive results, with no money saved, no end to “hallway medicine” and no sign of better ... more »

Robert Bidinotto -- Many People Embrace Altruism Because They See Relationships as Win-Lose in a Zero-Sum World

Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D. at An Objectivist Individualist - 14 hours ago
I, Charles Anderson, have long argued that the private sector -- a broader concept than the free market -- allows everyone to pursue relationships offering mutual benefits, while the government sector is "dog eat dog" under the rule of brutal force. I have not railed much against altruism as a chosen philosophy, though Ayn Rand and many other Objectivists have. Instead, I have simply tried to convince people that our relationships should be worked to our mutual benefit and government should be limited by the principle that it should not be hurting anyone, not even with a rationale t... more »

Why Does America Have a Coin Shortage?

*William J. Luther* *Economics, Americas* We are fortunate to have many alternative payment options. “If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert,” the economist Milton Friedman once quipped, “in five years there’d be a shortage of sand.” The U.S. Mint, to its credit, had a much longer run. The Federal Reserve, which purchases coins from the Mint and distributes them to depository institutions, announced it would begin rationing coins “based on historical order volume by coin denomination” last month as its coin inventory had been “reduced to below normal lev... more »

He jumped into the limelight when he replaced Ian Gillan as lead vocalist of Deep Purple, and recorded three albums with that group, including "Burn", " Stormbringer" and "Come Taste The Band". After Deep Purple broke up, Coverdale formed his own band, Whitesnake, with which he's recorded and performed off-and-on over the past forty-odd years. He's had several major hit recordings in his own right. Here are just a few songs from his prodigious output. First, the title track from Deep Purple's album "Burn", to illustr... more »

I’d gotten friendly with him over the past month; he’s a dog guy and had brought Gus back one time when she’d slipped her chain and wandered down to the lake, about 100 yards from our back door. He seemed embarrassed, although it’s tough to read emotions when someone’s face is redacted (his mask being black, it really does look… redacted).

An artificial "average Russian woman" was only allowed to work as a secretary in the Urals so far. A key point is that she wasn't allowed to run for Putin's job yet.
