How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen? The moods of Ernest Hemingway.
This article was written back in 1950, when the author was in his prime and had yet to win the Pulitzer or the Nobel which came over the next five years.

Why the United States Is the Once and Future Unipolar Superpower
*Richard Caroll* *military, World* With these issues facing the two nearest U.S. competitors, and the absence of any other world power to assume unipolarity, it is probable that the United States will eventually resume its status as a unipolar power, barring some sort of internal collapse of the United States. The famous Iron Chancellor of Germany, Otto Von Bismarck, once said of the United States, “God protects fools, drunkards and the United States of America.” While said perhaps in jest or frustration, his remarks have proved prophetic throughout the years.

The Pentagon Sucks at Acquiring New Weapons—but Only Most Of the Time
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Military, United States* The Pentagon's acquisition process has been criticized for years as being overly bureaucratic, at times too slow, and in need of reform. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* While most weapons developers completely agree with the assessment that the Pentagon's acquisition's process is need of reform, there have also over the years been many success stories wherein urgently needed platforms and systems were fast-tracked to war in life-saving fashion, with great results.

1942: The Year Japan Conquered Singapore and Killed Britain's Asia Empire
*Michael Peck* *World War II History, Asia Pacific* So many years later, it is difficult to conceive of just how devastating the fall of Singapore was. It was the largest surrender in British history, a humiliation to British arms that would linger for years in the minds of friends and foes alike. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Singapore had long been a strategic prize, perched as it was on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, astride the Straits of Malacca and the key shipping shipping lanes between Asia and Europe. But in the 1920s, Britain saw it as the key to its Far... read more

“Separated by about 14 degrees (28 Full Moons) in planet Earth's sky, spiral galaxies M31 at left, and M33 are both large members of the Local Group, along with our own Milky Way galaxy.

Mirach is just 200 light-years from the Sun. But M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, is really 2.5 million light-years distant and M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, is also... read more
