600 Reasons Turmeric May Be the World's Most Important Herb
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Putting this out again. It is easy to forget. With ginger and some black pepper it makes a valuable natural tonic. I would also add monk fruit as a sweetener and a teaspoon of cocoa as well. I like to use raw ginger and raw tumeric when i can get them both. Even consider adding cayanne to this brew as well and working with various teas does it also.The blend can be easily seen as a tonic. The cocoa does tend vto be overwelming though. Consider using coconut milk instead. The take home is that all these are broadly beneficial and can be consumed as a daily beverage. That is...
It's Time for Unilateral Free Trade with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is definately a good and timely project. This certainly identifies the best prospects as well. The core problem is that the USA has opted for agricultural subsidies as a policy advantage to counter external trade advantage. This has never been satisfactory and has been countered by market exclusivity for local producers. That is the central thorny issue which likely needs to be handled with a quota system of some sort to secure long term markets and price stability. I am sure Wisconsen wants Canada and New Zealand to ramp up milk production to dominate the ultimately fi...
SpaceX Will Replace Cargo Planes on Its Path to $1 Trillion per Year in Revenue
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This conclusion is totally unexpected. Long haul air cargo has been long established and its cost profile is well established. I have toyed often with long haul giant airships for long haul movement particularly of sensitive agricultural products. These need to be drones and able to lift several full containers. Been drones we can rely on hydrogen for lift. Still slow though and that is an issue. now we have stainless steel giant rockets. Who thought? All the energy is spent lifting and in descent and it is measured in minutes. The numbers can really work and this suggests ...
Trump’s Efforts to Fight Sex Trafficking Made ‘Incredible Impact’
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The drug as crime meme has now finally begun to fade and that is welcome. Now perhaps the whole problem of sex trafficing can also be addressed. The good news is that empowered the whole law enforcement industry with a real mandate to dust off those files and brings the perps in. The scale of the problem is out there for all to see. What is also clear is that the whole issue of human sexuality is deeply entwined with human economic exchange. much worse is that the drive is deeply biological and is naturally difficult and often impossible to contain. In fact successful contai...
The “Gallant” John Bell Hood in the American Civil War
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* John Bell Hood was wounded in both body and spirit when he took over command of the Confederate army at Atlanta. It was an omen of things to come. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Hood never realized how close he had come to victory—in love, if not in war. When Confederate general John Bell Hood assumed command of the embattled Army of Tennessee at Atlanta in mid-July 1864, he was already grievously wounded in both body and spirit. He had lost the use of his left arm at the Battle of Gettysburg, and two months later he lost his right ...
Logistical Problems Almost Sank Imperial Japan’s Pacific Ambitions
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * How do you supply bases across a vast ocean while under enemy fire? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Type 4 completed testing in March 1944 and was accepted into service. But by then, the IJN was looking to use the Type 4 offensively as it grew clear the Japanese home islands would soon come under attack. Imperial Japan faced a vexing dilemma in World War II: it had military bases sprawling across far-flung Pacific islands from Rabaul in Papua New Guinea to the Attu and Kiska islands near Alaska. But the merchant ships necessary to supply...

New York Man Dies Minutes After Taking Covid-19 Vaccine
NewsWars, Need To Know - 20 hours ago
A man in his seventies received the Covid-19 vaccine in Manhattan on Sunday, and he collapsed within 30 minutes of getting the jab and died on the spot. New York health officials continue to insist that the vaccine is safe and, when combined with masks and social distancing, “will bring an end to the pandemic.”
Detroit: Video Shows 60 Boxes of Illegal Ballots Being Delivered in Early Morning Hours Following November Election
Gateway Pundit, Need To Know - 21 hours ago
The video proves that the ballots were delivered without observers from the Republican Party, and they were delivered more than seven hours after the legal deadline. This means there are two reasons they should not have been counted.
Indian Media Calls Out Biden
TheDarkMan, The Duran - 21 hours ago
Donald Trump may have become a pariah in his own country as far as those in power are now concerned, but in much of the rest of the world he is a hero. This report by an Indian commentator is typical. Trump is seen as a visionary who was building bridges between the two Koreas […]
Weekend or Friday? The Future of the Weekly Public Holiday in Turkey
Evangelos Venetis, The Duran - 21 hours ago
Last November (2020), President R.T. Erdogan announced that 2021 will be the year of economic and judicial reforms in Turkey. Suddenly in early February he stressed that Turkey needs, even in 2021, to adopt a new political constitution, as the existing one, reformed by him in 2018 with increased presidential powers, is from 1982, as […]
The Coup in Myanmar: An Opportunity for Buddhist Nationalists?
Anders C. Hardig, Tazreena Sajjad, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Anders C. Hardig, Tazreena Sajjad* *Politics, South Asia* The current crisis unfolds in an environment of heightened tensions between Buddhist nationalists and minority groups. Since 2011, Myanmar has been troubled by an upsurge in extreme Buddhist nationalism, anti-Muslim hate speech and deadly communal violence. The military’s seizure of power in Myanmar and the detention of head of government Aung San Suu Kyi is far from the first time generals in the country have interfered in national politics. Myanmar’s military has held a prominent political position in the country for d...
Do COVID-19 Vaccines Work as Well for Patients with Obesity?
Cate Varney, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Cate Varney* *Coronavirus, The Americas* The answer to this question is crucial. Adult patients who have excess weight or obesity are among the most impacted by COVID-19, and they make up more than 70% of the U.S. population. When researchers began to develop what they hoped would be an effective COVID-19 vaccine, they already knew that H1N1 influenza – a novel virus, like COVID-19 – more severely affected patients with overweight or obesity. Patients with a body mass index of 30 or above had a higher risk of hospitalization and death from H1N1. This is not the first time such ...

* Backed by CDC Data, Jim Banks Introduces Legislation Urging Schools to Reopen* Banks pointed to the dangers of long-term remote learning, which has proven to be substantially less effective than traditional, in-person instruction. “For nearly a year now, our country’s leading experts have gathered data on the effects of COVID-19 as well as the consequences of remote learning on our children,” Banks said. “Every possible metric indicates that young people need in-person instruction and that failure to do so has disastrous consequences. School districts nationwide must remain open...

* You Knew It Was Coming: AOC, Bernie, and Earl Introduce Bill to Declare National Emergency on Climate* President Trump declared a national emergency over the novel coronavirus on March 13, 2020. As the crisis evolved throughout 2020, many governors took that football and ran it as far down the field as they could, implementing ever more severe restrictions on their states as they declared their own state emergencies. As COVID-19 lockdowns spread across the states, they began to take on an appearance of permanence, despite questionable results in slowing the pandemic’s spread. Th...

Information Interruptus: Bing, Google And The News Media Bargaining Code
Binoy KAMPMARK, OrientalReview.org - 22 hours ago
It’s looking a touch quixotic, but the News Media Bargaining Code has become Australia’s weapon of choice in attempting to redistribute proceeds from big tech into the coffers of a withering fourth estate. It has now reached a point of sufficient concern for Google as to become threatening, winding its […]
"8 Million More Living In Poverty, 9 Million Small Businesses In Danger Of Closing, 10 Million Behind On Rent"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 23 hours ago
*"8 Million More Living In Poverty, 9 Million Small Businesses * *In Danger Of Closing, 10 Million Behind On Rent"* by Michael Snyder "The economic downturn that we are currently experiencing is making the last recession look like a Sunday picnic. Yes, 2008 and 2009 were bad, but they weren’t anything like this. Unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve has allowed the rich to get even richer during this crisis, but meanwhile millions upon millions of ordinary Americans are deeply suffering. Unfortunately, what we have gone through so far is just the beginning. As a child, ...
‘Not suitable’: where to now for James Packer and Crown’s other casinos?
Charles Livingston, Michael West - 1 day ago
[image: Crown Casino Sydney] The Packer directors are gone. Guy Jalland and Michael Johnston have left the Crown Resorts board in the wake of dramatic findings of the Bergin Report. Chair Helen Coonan and others will remain under pressure. After all, they are responsible, they are the directors, and Justice Bergin found Crown was not suitable to run a casino.

England's Defeat of the Spanish Armada: A Historic Victory
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In 1588, the mightiest fleet set sail from Spain. Its target was England. At stake was nothing less than Catholic control of Western Europe. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Spain remained a great power for decades to come, but in political and psychological terms, the Armada campaign was a great English victory. On Friday, July 29, 1588, a group of English gentlemen decided to play a friendly game of bowls after a hearty midday meal. They walked over to the Hoe, a grassy stretch of ground overlooking the harbor at Plymouth, one of Engl...

Corporate Monopolization in Agriculture Puts Food Out of Reach for Many Americans
Philip H. Howard, Mary Hendrickson, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Philip H. Howard, Mary Hendrickson* *Agriculture, The Americas* The goal should be to produce more locally sourced food with shorter and less-centralized supply chains. Agribusiness executives and government policymakers often praise the U.S. food system for producing abundant and affordable food. In fact, however, food costs are rising, and shoppers in many parts of the U.S. have limited access to fresh, healthy products. This isn’t just an academic argument. Even before the current pandemic, millions of people in the U.S. went hungry. In 2019 the U.S. Department of Agricultur...

Meet Samuel Pepys: Father of Britain's Royal Navy
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Samuel Pepys was a great naval administrator, whose tireless efforts helped create a powerful and professional Royal Navy. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Pepys is held in high esteem by naval historians as a man who laid the foundations of Royal Navy greatness. Samuel Pepys is best known for the diary he wrote from 1660 to 1669. Because it was never intended for publication, the diary is frank and even ribald. He wrote magnificent eyewitness accounts of such events as the black plague and the fire of London, but modern readers remember...
Why Australia Must Take a Chance and Engage in Trade Diplomacy with China
Tony Walker, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Tony Walker* *Trade, Pacific* Australia would have nothing to lose by encouraging China to explore opportunities provided by a trade agreement from which China was excluded when the TPP was concluded in 2016. Australia’s efforts to end a diplomatic deep freeze with China may not be getting anywhere fast on the surface, but there are nonetheless some signs of a potential thaw. China’s announcement it was “actively studying” joining a region-wide trade pact that involves Australia and ten other Asia-Pacific trading nations should be exploited by Canberra in its efforts to open li...
Hue City: A Battle in the Thick of Vietnam's Tet Offensive
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* As South Vietnamese relaxed during the Tet holiday in 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong launch the most audacious offensive of the Vietnam War. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Communist strategy of bringing local VC cadres into the streets resulted in an unmitigated disaster. The city of Hue was the capital of a unified Vietnam from 1802 until 1945. With its stately, tree-lined boulevards, Buddhist temples, national university, and ornate imperial palace within a massive walled city known as the Citadel, Hue was the cradle of the c...
The US Capitol: Temple of Democracy or Authoritarian Architecture?
Megan Goldman-Petri, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Megan Goldman-Petri* *Culture, The Americas* The U.S. Capitol’s architecture is certainly awe inspiring. Honoring the Capitol Police officer killed in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently invoked the building’s symbolic role in American democracy. “Each day, when members enter the Capitol, this temple of democracy, we will remember his sacrifice,” she said of the slain officer, Brian Sicknick. Former President Donald Trump was impeached for inciting the mob that attacked the Capitol and is now on trial in the Senate. The insurrection has re...

As you read a little about it, you quickly realize that the $250 billion will just cover this year, and that the advocates intend that sum to be annually renewable....

Two Tips to Make Your Garden as Attractive as Possible to Monarch Butterflies This Spring
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 1 day ago
The monarch butterfly is one of the most iconic insect species in North America, with its genial nature and striking orange-and-black wings. While there used to be millions of butterflies migrating throughout the continent, which stretches from Marin County in the north part of the state to San Diego County in the south, each winter, the latest numbers reveal a worrisome trend that could result in something never thought possible: monarchs could be close to extinction if more is not done to save them this coming spring and beyond.

The Divided House of the West

The Western Roman Empire has impacted the culture of the West European nations; the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire), which outlasted its Western counterpart by more than a thousand years, and fell to the Ottomans in the fifteenth century, has impacted the culture of Russia and the Russian block of East European nations. The United States is a unique case as it is impacted by the political innovations of the inheritors of the Western Roman Empire (classical liberal, expansionist, and socialist) and the cultural values of the inheritors of the Eastern Roman Empire (orthodox, i...
