From Factory To Flying High: This Is How The F-35 Was Born
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * A look from inside an F-35 factory. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The F-35 is built with small coolant tubes running under the wings into the body of the aircraft, designed to dissipate the heat generated by the airplane’s avionics and electrical systems.

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Economics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2GMF99AWVB&share=true] Can the economy recover and can Americans' confidence in the future also be revived? A new study released at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s annual conference last week is contending that the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic has already instilled fear within the public that will dampen risk-taking and economic output for decades.

"Knowing..."
"Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around? It was a ridiculous question, though, because once you know the truth, you can't ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now." - Sue Monk Kidd

A Seventh Grader Kicks Edgenuity's Dumb Robograding Butt
The story comes to us from Francesca Paris at NPR's Here and Now, and it can serve as our sixty-gazillionth reminder that computer algorithms-- even ones that are marketed as Artificial Intelligence-- cannot grade student work to save their cybernetic lives. A student in LAUSD's virtual school was dismayed when his first history assignment came back an F. It was short written responses, and the score came back instantly, so his mother figured out that it had been graded by the software and not a human being. But we just saw here a short time ago, computer algorithms can't really rea... more »

There is no other way to say it: The Fed has become a dangerous rogue institution that has usurped plenary power over the financial system.

Kamala Harris says the US racist
Harris is an Indian American woman--at least that's what she was called when she won her Senate seat--who's now saying she's Black and whose ancestor was big time slave owner. She said: *“The reality is that the life of a black person in America has never been treated as fully human,” Harris said. “We have yet to fulfill that promise of equal justice under the law."* Apparently the fact that the cops involved in George Floyd's death, which now appears due to a self inflicted drug overdoes, weren't lynched on the spot like Harris's Democrat predecessors lynched uppity Blacks means w... more »

After noting that the RNC hosted at least a dozen African American speakers alone, she went on to say "I watched the Republican convention, and seeing the slew of black speakers that they had, it really did look like a modern-day minstrel show to me."* At best she was saying that Blacks like Hershel Walker and Senator Tim Scott were lying and at worst she was saying that they weren't really Black.

During World War II the German military developed the Schwimmwagen, a scout car that was essentially a boat with wheels that allowed it to be capable of floating in the water while a retractable water propeller allowed it to cross rivers and even lakes.

Lurid Fantasies
Donald Trump can't claim that he defeated the coronavirus. He can't claim that he built a gung-ho economy. So what's left to run on? Paul Krugman writes that all he's got left are lurid fantasies: It’s not just the fact that premature reopening led to a huge second wave of infections and deaths. Equally important, from a political point of view, has been Covid-19’s geographical spread. Early in the pandemic it was possible to portray Covid-19 as a big-city, blue-state problem; voters in rural areas and red states found it easier to dismiss the threat in part because they were rela... more »

The Russia thing....consider the source
Why would Russia poison a low-level critic (Alexei Navalny), who when he once ran against Putin for president secured 1% of the vote? Western media (particularly the US corporate media) call him the 'Russian opposition leader'.

Alexei Navalny advocates for gun rights in Russia, while comparing immigrants and Muslims from Russia's southern regions to cockroaches and suggests they need to be exterminated.
