The Men Who Live As Dogs
*-by Noah* I’ve heard of women who think all men are dogs. Even Hillary Clinton famously once said that her husband was a “hard dog to keep on the porch.” So, when my wife sent me this article from England’s *Guardian* newspaper today about men dressing up as dogs and going about their day, naturally, my ears perked up. It seems that in England, there are more than a few men who like to take being a good little doggie to bold new dimensions; literally donning rubber doggie suits and plastic dog face masks to dress up as dogs-- big, life size human dogs or “Human Pups,” to use th... more »
How Is The Air War Against The Islamic State Going?
While airstrikes in Iraq have increased substantially in the past year, they have slightly decreased in Syria. CENTCOM *Cameron Glenn, Newsweek: **How Is the Air War Against ISIS Going?* The difference in the two fronts is reflected in strikes on the two ISIS strongholds. The coalition hit Raqqa—a backwater city that is the nominal capital of its pseudo-caliphate in Syria—less than 60 times this year, or only 8 percent of the total airstrikes in Syria. The coalition hit areas in and around Mosul—a commercial center in Iraq at least 10 times larger than Raqqa—almost 500 times, or a ... more »
Bombshell Government Study Confirms Cellphone-Cancer Link

Donald Trump Accuses Clintons Of ‘Suiciding’ Vince Foster
Donald Trump has sent the mainstream media into a frenzy after publicly declaring that former top aide to the Clintons, Vince Foster, was probably “suicided” by the elite. His comments have re-ignited the story in the mainstream media, upsetting Hillary who has relied on it being buried on obscure conspiracy websites. Alternative news blogger and activist Shepard Ambellas remarked in a recent podcast that Trump’s repeated references to various conspiracies are rocking the mainstream establishment to their very core.

Japanese Leader Warns Huge Financial Crisis About To Hit World
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has warned world leaders at this years G7 summit that the world is on the brink of a huge global financial crisis, the likes of which we have never seen before.

From *Wikipedia**:* Truman is a multi-award winning 1995 HBO movie based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Truman.[1] Starring Gary Sinise as Harry S. Truman, the film centers on Truman's rise to the presidency from humble beginnings, World War II, and his decision to use the first atomic bomb.

Natural Rights to be Suspended by National "States of Emergency" in Japan and Elsewhere
The Mainichi today has an article on an LDP draft of Constitutional changes that proposes a distinction between the protection of "big" and "small" human rights in the wake of crises situations, referred to as "states of emergency." According to Shojiro Sakaguchi, a professor at Hitotsubashi University and an expert on constitutional law, the LDP's revision essentially deconstructs the idea of "natural rights" and elevates the authority and power of the state (as embodied in the Constitution) over the supposed natural rights of individuals: LDP draft Constitution differentiates be... more »

The US Is Dropping Calls For Syrian President Assad To Go
Troops loyal to Bashar al-Assad celebrate on the edge of Palmyra. Reuters *Robert Fisk, The Independent:* *The US is dropping calls for Assad to go because the Syrian regime is a better bet than Isis* *In Syria and Lebanon there are no plans for a future, but the Syrian army is going to have a role in any New Syria.* I’m getting a bit tired of reading about the “US-backed alliance of Syrian militias” and their advance against Isis. The ‘alliance’ is largely Kurdish – which is why, I suppose, the Americans talked about northern Syria when they announced the visit of General Joseph V... more »

BWorld 59, Free trade and Norwegian salmon
* This is my article in BusinessWorld last May 19, 2016. Among the noticeable things when I buy in public markets is the presence of Norwegian salmon. Usually the salmon heads or salmon belly are available, and their retail price is not that far from bangus or tilapia. So while it is common to see Norwegian salmon in big groceries and supermarkets, it is good to see the presence of this Norwegian product in public markets at affordable prices, implying that trade of this commodity is increasing fast. And that proves further that free trade is good. The taste of salmon is a lot diff... more »

The End Of Globalization?

Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet- On Talking"
*"On Talking"* "You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly. There are those among you who seek the talkative through fear of being alone. The silence of aloneness reveals to their eyes their naked selves and they would escape. And there are those who talk, and without knowledge or forethought r... more »

Archaeology: “A Shocking Find In a Neanderthal Cave In France”
*“A Shocking Find In a Neanderthal Cave In France”* by Ed Yong In February 1990, thanks to a 15-year-old boy named Bruno Kowalsczewski, footsteps echoed through the chambers of Bruniquel Cave for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

Kowalsczewski’s father had detected faint wisps of air emerging from the scree, and the boy spent three years clearing away the rubble. He eventually dug out a tight, thirty-meter-long passage that the thinnest members of the local ca... more »

Its hereditary dictator, Kim Jong Un, imposes forced labour on hundreds of thousands of his people and threatens to drench Seoul, the South’s capital, in “a sea of fire”. Nuclear weapons are central to his regime’s identity and survival. It has always been tempting for America and other countries to put North Korea’s nuclear ambitions on the back burner, in large part because of a chronic absence of good options for dealing with them. ... more »

Summer Screen Time Rules Printables
When my daughter was a little younger, we took her to see a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. It was an amazing show and my breath was taken away.

It was that moment that something clicked in me. I wanted my little ones to have a wonderful and fun summer, but I wanted to make sure that summer was full of diverse things. We implemented a summer program from my kids and it has made a world of difference. Our house is cleane... more »
