Paulo Coelho, "Walking the Path"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 4 hours ago
*"Walking the Path"* by Paulo Coelho "I reckon that it takes about three minutes to read my text. Well, according to statistics, in that same short period of time 300 people will die and another 620 will be born. It takes me perhaps half an hour to write a text: here I sit, concentrating on my computer, books piled up beside me, ideas in my head, the scenery passing by outside my window. Everything seems perfectly normal all around me; and yet, during these thirty minutes, 3,000 people have died and 6,200 have just seen the light of the world for the first time. Where are all thos...
The Los Angeles-Class: America's Most Successful Submarines?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Submarines, * Sixty-two Los Angeles–class submarines were built between 1976 and 1996. *Here's What You Need to Know*: North Korea would not want to fight them in a war...or Russia or China. The Los Angeles–class nuclear attack submarines were the most successful American submarines of the Cold War. The United States built sixty-two Los Angeles–class subs, more than any class except for the Gato class of World War II. Fast, powerful and heavily armed, the submarines are slowly being replaced by Virginia-class attack boats. The Los Angeles–class submarines, also...
The Navy Loves Massive Aircraft Carriers. What About 'Mini-Carriers'?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carriers, * Is it time for medium aircraft carriers? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The story isn’t over. The costs of the new Ford-class carriers have even seapower advocates as Sen. John McCain searching for alternatives: in January 2017, the Arizona senator released a white paper, “Restoring American Power,” that called for a “high/low mix” of aircraft carriers, possibly involving a variant of the America-class amphibious transport equipped with the short-takeoff and vertical-landing version of the Joint Strike Fighter.

"Would the Rosette Nebula by any other name look as sweet?

These stars formed about four million years ago from the nebular material and their stellar winds are clearing a hole in the nebula's center, insulated by a layer of dust and hot gas.

*"Why We Need Poets"* by Chet Raymo "The poet Jane Hirshfield referred in a poem to the number of atoms it takes to make a butterfly. Ten to the 24th power, I think she said. I thought I'd check it out. A typical butterfly might weigh about half a gram. The exact ratio of elements I don't know, but mostly hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Let's assume an atomic weight of ten for a typical atom; that is, an atom with ten nuclear particles (Hydrogen=1, carbon= 12, oxygen=16, and so on). A proton or neutron has a weight of about 1.6 X 10-24 grams. About 3 X 1022 atoms in a butterfly. If ...

Surely you can't imagine they don't dance, from the root up, wishing to travel a little, not cramped so much as wanting a better view, or more sun, or just as avidly more shade - surely you can't imagine they just stand there loving every minute of it, the birds or the emptiness, the dark rings of the years slowly and without a sound thickening, and nothing different unless the win...

*"Figures Don't Lie, but Liars Figure"* by Jeff Thomas "It’s an old saying, but never truer than today, when profoundly false figures are being used to fuel the COVID hysteria. In less than one year, the rulers of the US and many other countries have successfully closed down businesses, decimated social interaction, shut down those who sought to seek group solace in their faith, trashed economies and forcibly seized power, replacing democratic structure with executive edict. This has been achieved solely through the creation of fear over a flu virus. Mother Jones has stated, "The s...

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* Will it survive the challenge? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Su-25s will likely serve Russian forces for the foreseeable future, as there is no money to design and field a replacement for them. In February 2018 a Frogfoot was shot down over Syria while conducting rocket strikes against ground targets, a victim of man-portable surface-to-air missiles smuggled to fighters by sympathetic backers in the Syrian Civil War. Around the same time the U.S. Air Force was looking for a dedicated close air-support aircraft, a requirement that eventual...

Sustainability Is Just A Fundraising Buzzword Until It Does These 4 Things
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 7 hours ago
Is it more sustainable to have 2 billion people burning wood and dung for energy than to have centralized coal? Any objective look at the science says coal, while not perfect, is better for emissions, public health, and quality of life than individual fires but the U.S. government, guided by lobbyists, refused to provide World Bank funding for developing nations to create centralized energy - unless it was wind or solar. All those countries could afford to maintain was coal. Instead of giving them centralized energy we put the sustainability buzzword as a mandate. read more

*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea Military, Asia* The design and adoption of the K2 were major milestones for South Korea. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Although somewhat dated, the weapon is fundamentally sound and there is still plenty of room for growth in the K2 platform. Given Seoul’s industrial capacity—and export-oriented outlook—it’s not likely to adopt a foreign weapon any time soon. In the late twentieth century, one of the hallmarks of a modern military was a country’s ability to design and manufacture its own rifles. South Korea, an emerging military power, took that...

Desmond Lachman, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Desmond Lachman* *U.S. Economy Inflation, Americas* [image: U.S. Economy Inflation] As the recent sharp run in U.S. Treasury bond yields would underline, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell now seems to be running the real risk of being perceived by markets as being behind the inflation curve. In May 2013, Ben Bernanke provoked a so-called taper tantrum that shook world financial markets. He did so by intimating that the Federal Reserve might soon dial down its aggressive bond-buying program. That announcement sent U.S. Treasury bond yields soaring, which had reverberations in Asian and...

Are Plastics Sustainable? Here's What the Pandemic Can Teach Us.
Nicola De Blasio, Phoebe Fallon, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Nicola De Blasio, Phoebe Fallon* *Security, Americas* Durability and inexpensiveness—two of plastic’s greatest assets—have made it the workhorse material of modern society. But they have also become its greatest curse by creating a global environmental and sustainability crisis. Threats like pandemics and environmental crises often progress with non-linear trends—starting small and escalating exponentially—and are especially difficult to confront because they require us to interpret and react to change in real-time. While the most effective approach would be to take decisive act...
Joe Biden Has a Problem at the Department of Labor
Fred Lucas, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, Americas* The Department of Labor doesn’t get a lot of coverage, but is consequential in enforcing labor and wage laws, assessing employment data and dealing with labor-management matters—at a time when the recovery of the United States is key. Republicans are choosy about which of President Joe Biden’s nominees to fight—more interested in low-hanging fruit such as ideological firebrands Neera Tanden for budget director and Health and Human Services pick Xavier Becerra. The Labor Department is rarely a very contentious post. Biden tapped Boston Mayor Mart...
Could Virtual Education be the Death Knell for Teachers Unions?
Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Michael Rubin* *Teachers Unions, Americas* [image: Teachers Unions] If students can learn online during a pandemic or snow days, then they can still be taught during a strike. Teachers’ unions continue to resist a wholesale return to schools. The performance of school boards in and around Washington, DC, has been particularly shameful. Maryland lags behind the rest of the country in in-person education, and Montgomery, Howard, and Prince Georges Counties trail behind the rest of the state. Whereas teachers unions may have cited “science” at the beginning of the pandemic when so...
Top Guns: The Five Deadliest Air Forces on the Planet
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *U.S. Air Force, * Which countries make the list? *Here's What You Need to Know*: These air forces should not be underestimated. Qualifying the five most powerful air forces in the world is certainly a difficult and challenging proposition. There are large, well-trained and well-equipped air forces that are obvious candidates for such a list. Then there are less-obvious candidates—like Russia. The Russian Air Force, while plane-for-plane older than many air forces, has numbers, the ubiquity of the largest country by size on Earth, a modernization plan and nuclear...
Dead at 3,871 Yards: The Story of History's Longest Sniper Kill Shot
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Snipers, Middle East* The shot was more than a thousand yards farther than the previous world record. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It seems unlikely this record will be decisively beaten for the foreseeable future. In mid-2017, the sniping community was rocked by incredible news: a Canadian sniper team operating in the Middle East had made a successful kill at a distance of more than two miles. The team, deployed to fight the Islamic State, killed an ISIS fighter at a distance of 3,871 yards. The shot was a record breaker and more than a thousand yards farthe...
Why Nazi Germany Relied So Much on the Panzer II Tank
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *World War II History, Europe* [image: By Matthias Holländer - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=16209871] The Panzerkampfwagen II was designed as a stopgap, but it ended up being mass produced and used on many fronts. As Nazi Germany began to openly rearm its military in the late 1930s, it introduced the Panzerkampfwagen II—more commonly known as the Panzer II—largely as a stopgap while more powerful tanks such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV were being developed. However, the Panzer II went on to become one of the most numerous armore...

The Achilles heel of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
I'm not invested in cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin, etc.) at all, and have no plans to do so, because of one fundamental reality. As Phil at Bustedknuckles points out: Now you can use it. And now you can’t. With the state of our aging and completely vulnerable to sabotage power grid in this country my thinking is that you gotta be out of your ****ing mind if you think crypto currency is going to take over for cash around here. I couldn't have put it better myself. I'll add to power outages the safety and security of our computer networks. Take down the Internet, even...

Joel Wing, MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago
Violence in Iraq has been going in two directions over the last few months. Since November the Islamic State has been ramping down its operations in Iraq. By February 2021 the number of security incidents reached one of the lowest levels since the U.S. invasion. On the other hand, pro-Iran groups have picked up their attacks upon American targets during that same period. There were a total of 63 incidents reported in the media during February. 16 of those were by pro-Tehran factions leaving just 47 by the Islamic State. In November 2020 there was just one attack by groups...

The junk food industry is alive and well even in a time when health is the number one topic of discussion, highlighting the shocking difference in how food is produced in non-U.S. countries. While GMO crops and ingredients are widely banned across the European Union and sevral other countries, the U.S. still grows a large percentage of the world’s lab engineered crops, with over 90% of our corn, soybeans and canola oil now GMO as of recent estimates.

International Women’s Day, 2021 - Why Green Growth and Climate Action Fall Short Without Addressing Gender Inequality
SEOUL, Republic of Korea, Mar 08 (IPS) - As the global effort to address climate change has strengthened over the last few years, so has the realization that rising temperatures and climactic disruptions disproportionately impact women, particularly in developing countries, as they tend to be more dependent upon natural resources and are thus overrepresented in resource-intensive economic sectors.
