Study Suggests Sun Is Likely An Unaccounted Source Of The Earth’s Water
This also explains nitrogen as well. This would be really handy and we can hope to find both everywhere else nearby. Are condrites also produced as part of fusion processes?. This is presently tentative, but should succumb to analysis. The point is that fusion produces the full range of elements and the lighter portion can be thrown into space and driven outward. *Study Suggests Sun Is Likely An Unaccounted Source Of The Earth’s Water* *11/30/2021 10:00:00 AM* https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2021/11/study-suggests-sun-is-likely.html *Curtin University researcher... read more
Dinosaur Trove In Italy Rewrites The History, Geography, And Evolution Of The Ancient Mediterranean Area
At least this helps get rid of sketchier ideas regarding geological history. It is all European and leave it at that. Lack of evidence is not an indication of much except a lack of evidence. The obverse is locating a mine. Those appear any place and that should be a Warning. It appears dinosaurs were mostly everywhere and may well have been robu'st swimers. Recall the back of a dinosaur in water looks like a crocodile. *Dinosaur Trove In Italy Rewrites The History, Geography, And Evolution Of The Ancient Mediterranean Area* ... read more
Volcanic Fertilization Of The Oceans Drove Severe Mass Extinction
I do find the proposed chemical pathways unconvincing but recall our problem with dead zones all blamed on excess nitrogen. Could this be caused by excess phosphorus? Volcanic ash does fertilize oceans but hte mechanism we assume to be obvious may well be far more subtle. As athmosphere chronically saturated with volcanic gases is nastly and possibly dangerous. It is usually not sustained ever. Was it ever truly sustained? Often as not, continuity in the geological record can be point sources separated by five centuries. *Volcanic Fertilization Of The Oceans Drove Severe Mass... read more
High Copper Technology Used in Ancient America
We have known for over a century just how large the copper mining industry was in Lake Superior It is completely insulting that academe has chosen to utterly ignore this fact. It easily supplied the whole global Bronze Age with native copper not demanding difficult smelting with reagents. It is the only place on Earth that has so much. Again for a thousand years this copper made its way to the Irish sea and there they picked up tin. It was the currency of the Atlantean trade empire that emerged globally until smashed in 1159 BC. Yet Academe keeps ignoring this when it is our ... read more

Havel as the ideologue of Gab.com
Willie sent me these thoughts The Power of the Powerlessthat Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab.com (an independent alternative of Twitter's) wrote two weeks ago when he read Czech dissident and expresident Václav Havel's long 1978 essay (CZ: Moc bezmocných). Havel described the state of the post-1968-occupation Czechoslovak society that was based on lies and obedience. Almost all the citizens publicly expressed opinions that none of them actually believed; Havel's chosen example is a clerk in a shop with vegetables who repeatedly places the banner "Workers of All Countries, Unite" in the... read more

The Ultimate Insurance Policy: Israel’s Nuclear-Armed Attack Submarine
*Kyle Mizokami* *Submarines, Middle East* The most survivable arm of the nuclear triad is typically the sea-based one, consisting of nuclear-armed submarines. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Israel is building a nuclear deterrent with an eye towards Iran.

New Models of Russia's 50-year Old Heavy Machine Gun Fielded in Tajikistan
*Peter Suciu* *Heavy Machine Guns, Russia* The 12.7x108mm NSV "Utes" heavy machine gun has seen use in more than a dozen conflicts around the world, including current conflicts in Syria and Yemen. The United States military has employed the venerable M2 .50-caliber machine gun for nearly ninety years. That weapon is essentially a supersized version of the M1919 .30-caliber Browning machine gun, which was developed by the prolific firearms designer John Moses Browning.

*Gun News Daily* *Firearms, United States* Both the .38 Special and the 9mm enjoy popularity among civilians and are widely available in any country where civilians can buy firearms. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It’s a no-brainer that as far as ballistics, the 9mm is superior. But if we all look deeper and think outside of the box, besides the numbers on ballistics charts accessible everywhere online, there’s more to this caliber comparison than most people would care to talk on, much less think about.

The Silent Failure of Appropriations
Four issues have dominated Congress’s fiscal agenda this fall. The (minimally) bipartisan infrastructure billbecame law on November 15. The Build Back Better environmental and human services bill is still subject to intense wrangling. Appropriations for the fiscal year than began on October 1 remain in limbo. And Congress has just agreed to a complex procedure for raising the debt limit to prevent a default. The procedural and political context of each of these is complex.

What Keeps America’s M16 Rifle Shooting Strong After 50 Years?
*Kyle Mizokami* *M16, Americas* One word: upgrades. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The M16 series of weapons has been in continuous use by the U.S. Military for more than fifty years. In the early 1980s, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps decided the M16A1 assault rifle needed an upgrade. The result was an improved version, the M16A2, and later the M16A3, M16A4, and the shorter, compact M4A1 carbine. The story of the M16 post-Vietnam is the story of how a mature, successful weapon design can be adapted to suit a variety of needs and missions. The U.S. Military adopted the M16 assau... read more
