Food is sacred no matter what country or what culture you come from: it’s how families bond with each other at the end of the day, how we nourish ourselves, a way to connect with strangers and so much more. For thousands of years our food producers have treated the process with respect, up until the past few decades that is. And lately, things have been spiraling out of control, with genetic modification techniques, mutagenesis (subjecting seeds to radiation) and other bizarre production techniques taking over. More leeway for GMO and artificial food producers has led to several d...
How to Scare the Chinese Army: Build More B-21 Bombers
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: Reuters] The B-21 Raider is on the path to being America’s first multirole bomber. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Like many new weapons systems, the Air Force has instructed Northrop Grumman to build the bomber with a so-called “open architecture” hardware and software system. As a result, unlike previous bombers, the B-21 could become much more than just a heavy bomber. The open-architecture specification should ensure that future upgrades will be relatively easy to integrate into the B-21, and for the bomber to adapt to a slew of new, ...

*Pauline Bakibinga and Aheisibwe Hillary* *Public Health, Africa* [image: Reuters] The hepatitis B vaccine has been available since 1982 and immunisation is an effective strategy. But poor uptake and coverage in the region persists. The World Health Organisation has announced additional efforts to eliminate hepatitis by 2030. The overall strategy calls for the prevention of new infections through universal implementation of the hepatitis B birth-dose vaccine. It also calls for full vaccine coverage, and access to affordable diagnostics to identify and care for infected individual...
How a Freaky Chemistry Accident Sunk a Russian Nuclear Submarine
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: Reuters] The tragedy only reinforces how dangerous life aboard a submarine really is, and how important safety is in the underwater realm. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* A faulty weld in a torpedo or damage to a torpedo during movement had caused it to leak hydrogen peroxide. Like many torpedoes, the Type 65 used hydrogen peroxide as an underwater fuel. Unfortunately, hydrogen peroxide becomes explosive when it comes into contact with a catalyst, such as organic compounds or fire. In 2000, a Russian submarine designed to sink aircraft car...

The Zoomers and Class Politics
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 5 hours ago
Generational differences matter and can enhance our understanding of class relations as a moveable feast. Age cohorts, their common cultural properties and experiences and, crucially, their shared politics reveals something about how classes develop and undergo cycles of composition, decomposition, and recomposition. Matthew Goodwin's recent essay on the so-called Zoomers (folks born between 1995 (or 1997) and 2010 (or 2012), depending on preference) is helpful for reminding those stuck to hidebound, static markers of class - such as mainstream political science and its favoured ma...

The NYPD has just released the video of a mob assault in a NYC deli. The victims’ crime? The adult male appears guilty of terminal whiteness. His daughter looks to be a white Hispanic (you do remember that racial group, don’t you?) The NYPD – those few officers who have yet to be furloughed by Bill de Blasio – have warrants out for Devonte, Tyquan, and Tyrone. Oh, if only we’d had a few social workers on patrol … this incident would never have happened! A father and daughter were brutally attacked by a mob inside of a Manhattan deli … Continue reading →

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons / U.S. Department of Defense] What are the differences? The U.S. military has a long history of shotguns. During World War I, the German Army actually protested the use of the Winchester Model 97 pump-action shotgun, which the Germans claimed violated Article 23(e) of the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions and warned that any American captured with a shotgun or shotgun ammunition would be executed. There is some irony that the Germans issued such a protest after it had utilized Zeppelins to bomb England, unleashed submar...
Coronavirus: How Has the Lockdown Changed Our Drinking Habits?

*Emily Nicholls, Dominic Conroy* *Society, * The latest survey findings suggest that more than one in four people drank more than usual during lockdown. Among the raft of changes following the UK’s coronavirus lockdown in March 2020 was the closure of pubs – an integral part of British cultural life. While the 1990s heyday of pubs is long gone, they remain unique spaces where people can meet in a familiar environment and feel connected to a community. They also offer a culturally sanctioned space to consume large quantities of alcohol. As academics who research people’s drinking...

Scientific Discovery: Human Sperm Spin, Not Swim
Hermes Gadêlha, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Hermes Gad̻lha* *Science, * This latest discovery, with its novel use of 3D microscope technology combined with mathematics, may provide fresh hope for unlocking the secrets of human reproduction. Sperm is critical for the fertilisation of almost every living organism on our planet, including humans. To reproduce, human sperm have to swim a distance equivalent to climbing Mount Everest to find the egg. They complete this epic journey simply by wiggling their tail, moving fluid to swim forwards. Though over 50 million sperm will fail to reach the egg Рthe equivalent to more tha...
