"A Look to the Heavens"
“The Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) is one of the best known planetary nebulae in the sky. Its more familiar outlines are seen in the brighter central region of the nebula in this impressive wide-angle view. But the composite image combines many short and long exposures to also reveal an extremely faint outer halo. At an estimated distance of 3,000 light-years, the faint outer halo is over 5 light-years across. Planetary nebulae have long been appreciated as a final phase in the life of a sun-like star. More recently, some planetary nebulae are found to have halos like this one, likely ... read more
"Many Great Deeds..."
"For many great deeds are accomplished in times of squalid struggle. There is a kind of stubborn, unrecognized courage which in the lowest depths tenaciously resists the pressures of necessity and ill-doing; there are noble and obscure triumphs observed by no one, unacclaimed by any fanfare. Hardship, loneliness, and penury are a battlefield which has its own heroes, sometimes greater than those lauded in history. Strong and rare characters are thus created; poverty nearly always a foster-mother, may become a true mother, distress may be the nursemaid of pride, and misfortune the m... read more

Forgotten History: 'Blitzkrieg' Was a German Spin of British Strategy
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* The great irony, of course, is that Plan 1919 did see the light of day. Except that it was the Germans who implemented it. *Key point: *Yet had the First World War continued into 1919, Fuller envisioned something much, much more ambitious. Blitzkrieg is usually thought of as a German invention in World War II. But had Imperial Germany not been defeated in November 1918, the first victims of mechanized warfare might have been the Germans themselves in World War I.

Denial Ain't a River in....uh....You Know the Thing.
"For socialists and their fellow travelers everywhere, it's turning out to be a bummer of a summer. It's almost bad enough to make you feel sorry for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Almost. Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and their anti-American ilk are stuck defending economic authoritarianism abroad while its victims are pleading for the United States to save them. To the millions of downtrodden in Cuba, Haiti and most of Latin America, the US remains the shining city on the hill, even as AOC and her Squad demonize the greatest country ever created. It must break their tiny he... read more
The U.S. Navy Must Evolve to Contain Chinese Power
*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, * An institution’s culture derives from its heritage. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Sometimes an element of U.S. Navy culture may need to be modified or even destroyed, as Schein says. But demolition should never take place without ample forethought. It could carry grave consequences even if justified. Sometimes it feels as though there’s an emptiness at the U.S. Navy’s cultural core. An institution’s culture derives from its heritage. The present generation looks to great and not-so-great figures from the past to help it react when change buffet... read more
A New Attack Submarine Could Change the U.S. Navy’s Fortunes
*James Holmes* *Submarines, Americas* Is SSN(X) the right boat to comprise the future submarine fleet? *Here's What You Need to Know*: Block the straits between the islands and you imprison Chinese shipping within the China seas, doing the adversary a world of hurt in not just the military but the economic sphere. It doesn’t take a *Seawolf*-like submarine that sorties thousands of miles from home to seal off a narrow sea. A diesel sub stationed in the theater—at, say, Sasebo or Yokosuka, home to the U.S. Seventh Fleet—can reach its operating grounds and loiter there, sinking shi... read more
Chinese Warship Booted By Philippine Coast Guard
*Trevor Filseth* *South China Sea, * While Duterte’s pro-China rhetoric has largely remained unchanged, the territorial dispute in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines has remained a serious issue between the two nations. The Philippines Coast Guard announced on Monday that it had driven away a Chinese warship in disputed waters near the Philippines within the South China Sea. The incident occurred near the Marie Louise Bank, a reef located near the disputed Spratly Islands off the Philippine island of Palawan. According to the Coast Guard’s report, a Chinese war... read more
A True Monster: Japan's Yamato Was the Biggest Battleship Ever Built
*Kyle Mizokami* *Battleships, Asia* The battleship has reached nearly mythical status, a perfect example of Japan’s fascination with doomed, futile heroics. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Not even a mega-battleship could overcome Japan’s grim strategic situation. In early 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy made a difficult decision: it would sacrifice the largest, most powerful battleships ever built to protect Okinawa, the gateway to Japan’s Home Islands. The decision sealed the fate of the battleship *Yamato* and its crew, but ironically did nothing to actually protect the isla... read more
Could China Beat the U.S. Navy? Japan Knows the Answer
*James Holmes* *China, Asia* Few observers thought Japan’s navy could win in the 1890s, and they gave good reasons for reaching such a verdict. They also happened to be wrong. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Clausewitz observes that a weaker combatant need not win an outright military triumph to win politically—the only kind of winning that matters. It can dishearten a muscle-bound adversary, or drive up the costs of victory so high that the adversary concludes it can’t win at an acceptable price. “TOKYO, July 31, 1894—’For the foreseeable future,’ declares an American defen... read more

[image: energy-from-waste, waste export ban, RDF, loophole] "It's our waste, it's our problem", said Scott Morrison as he announced the nation's waste export ban culminating in 2024. Not really. It's a good thing Australia has banned solid waste dumping to the Third World but we have left a gaping, toxic loophole; burning plastics for energy. Luke Stacey investigates. read more

Stars, Planets And Moons Are Round, So Why Aren't Comets And Asteroids?
*I’m puzzled as to why the planets, stars and moons are all round (when) other large and small objects such as asteroids and meteorites are irregular shapes?* *— Lionel Young, age 74, Launceston, Tasmania* This is a fantastic question Lionel, and a really good observation! When we look out at the Solar System, we see objects of all sizes — from tiny grains of dust, to giant planets and the Sun. A common theme among those objects is the big ones are (more or less) round, while the small ones are irregular. But why? read more read more
Covid Vaccines Lead To Shingles Outbreaks

I'll highlight that info. Of course vaccines for chicken pox is profitable. Vaccines for shingles is profitable and harmful. So it's a win/win for the pharmaceutical corporations.
