But it is the best of all to be sane and happy. Whether our descendants

The Ukrainian civil war has been on hold for weeks, but seems poised to
restart, as President Petro Poroshenko has ordered troops to the breakaway
east with an eye toward the resumption of the conflict.
Poroshenko insisted that the move was done to “repel possible attacks” by
the rebels, and also claimed he “remains a firm supporter of the peace
plan.” That sounds great, in theory.
The problem is that Poroshenko has dec... more »

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "All Will Come Again"
*"All Will Come Again"*
by Rainer Maria Rilke
"All will come again into its strength:
the fields undivided, the waters undammed,
the trees towering and the walls built low.
And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land.
And no churches where God
is imprisoned and lamented
like a trapped and wounded animal.
The houses welcoming all who knock
and a sense of boundless offering
in all relations, and in you and me.
No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth, lest we remain unused."

Of course, Ukraine would still be able to take the gas they need from the flow ticketed for Western Europe.

[image: Project 667BDRM (Delta IV) class SSBN]A submerged Russian Northern
Fleet nuclear submarine on Wednesday fired a test intercontinental missile

Kamchatka Peninsula, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Tactical Missile Pragati Readied for Export
[image: Pragati Tactical Missile]After Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos
cruise missile, which has drawn the attention of a number of countries for
its kill precisions, India is now readying its home-grown new tactical

Defence sources said having a strike range of 50 km to 150 km, the missile
has quick reaction from command to launch in ripple firing mode.
The missile is small, lean and slim to achieve better and high manoeuvring

Polish attack helicopter tender attracts four potential bidders
[image: AGM-158 JASSM]Four companies have expressed interest in supplying
Poland with 30 attack helicopters in a deal brought forward by two years as

the crisis in Ukraine.
The potential bidders are an Airbus Helicopters and Heli Invest Services

and BIT SA, a Ministry of Defence official said at a news conference on
Tuesday.
The ministry said the list of potential bidders is not closed, so there is

Aircraft carrier Lincoln leaves dry dock
[image: USS Abraham Lincoln]The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is
back in the water and a big step closer to rejoining the U.S. Navy fleet.
The ship left dry dock Monday at Newport News Shipbuilding, where it is
undergoing a mid-life overhaul. The move was announced in a release from
the ship's public affairs unit.
A Refueling and Complex Overhaul, or RCOH, happens midway through the
50-year life of a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The ship entered
dry dock nearly 2 years ago and is scheduled to rejoin the fleet in October
2016.

Sequester Could Kill Shipyards, Says CNO Greenert
[image: Jonathan Greenert]Navy readiness won’t fully recover from the
second-order effects of the 2013 sequester for another year, the Chief of
Naval Operations said this morning — and if the Budget Control Act cuts
(known as sequestration) return in full force for fiscal year 2016, the
nation might lose two of its five remaining major shipyards.
“I worry about the shipbuilding industrial base,” Adm. Jonathan Greenert

SA Navy can look forward to new equipment in 2016

In common with the other arms of service in the SA National Defence Force
(SANDF), the lack of resources, both in terms of equipment and manpower, is
a problem and Gulube’s written pronunciation that “the delivery of
replacement equipment for the SA Navy is planned for January 2016” will be

GOP: landslide victories
*iPhone, iPad:* Apple users may try to play Lumo Deliveries. ;-)
Six years ago, Barack Obama was elected for the first time and, slightly
surprisingly for me, he was also reelected two years ago. But six or eight
years is a rather long time for a fad. So despite the very good condition
of the current U.S. economy and other positive signs, the Democrats have
decided that Barack Obama has become a liability and they tried to hide him
in the basement.
I think it has become too self-evident that most Americans disagree with
Obama on key domestic topics such as immigration and healthca... more »
US Navy re-starts sense and avoid radar for MQ-4C
[image: MQ-4C Triton]The US Navy is launching a competition to provide a
new air-to-air radar to help the unmanned Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton

The solicitation posed by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) on 3 November
comes a year after the Navy canceled development of an Exelis-designed
sense and avoid system for the MQ-4C, a high-altitude, long-endurance

The government is trying to slip Trident replacement through the backdoor

Coalition Government is stepping up nuclear cooperation with the United

But far from being just another piece of foreign policy housekeeping, the
renewal of the Mutual Defence Agreement (MDA) in July of this year, is
actually a further step towards replacing Britain’s Trident nuclear weapons
system – but without the open, democratic debate which such a momentous
decision warrants.
Majority public opinion is against the replacement of Trident, and with

Robert Peston and half the story about today's immigration story
BBC Radio 4 Today programme had a debate on immigration just before 7am
that was pretty fair in the time allowed to both sides and level of

immigration but did at least then mention the high costs of immigration
from outside of the EU.
However when Robert Peston gave his 'expert' summation, he mentioned only
the positive effects of EU immigration and not the negative effects of
immigration from outside of the EU.The BBC just can't help themselves can

"The True Dream..."
“Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that
reality is better. We convince ourselves it’s better that we never dream at
all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the
dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We
wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we’re
lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true
dream is being able to dream at all.”
