North West Passage Encyc BritannicaA sceptical friend has prepared this list. 1845 – The whole of Sir John Franklin’s expedition to find the NW Passage died and their ships were crushed by the ice near Baffin Island 1909-1910 – Amundsen sailed an ice free NW Passage 1922 – The Arctic is warming and fishermen are catching species that have never been seen there before. 1970 – Kenneth Field “The world is cooling and global temperatures could drop by up to 11ºC that would freeze the North Atlantic for 4- months of the year within 20-years …” News articles: 1970 – Colder Winters He... more »
Infecting mosquitoes with bacteria so they can't infect us with viruses like Zika and dengue
Michaela Schultz, Graduate Student in Biology, Boston University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 1 day ago
Tiny bug, major disease spreader. Dr. Paul Howell, USCDCP Mosquitoes and their itchy bites are more than just an annoyance. They transmit dangerous viruses with deadly consequences – making them the most lethal animal on Earth. It’s the *Aedes aegypti* and *Aedes albopictus* mosquito species that are behind outbreaks of dengue virus, Zika virus, yellow fever virus and Chikungunya virus, responsible for over 100 million human cases around the world annually. And they’re expanding their habitat around the world as the global climate warms, bringing them into contact with more potentia... more »
What are software vulnerabilities, and why are there so many of them?
Thomas Holt, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 1 day ago
It's software: There's always a way in. BeeBright via shutterstock.com The recent WannaCry ransomware attack spread like wildfire, taking advantage of flaws in the Windows operating system to take control of hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide. But what exactly does that mean? It can be useful to think of hackers as burglars and malicious software as their burglary tools. Having researched cybercrime and technology use among criminal populations for more than a decade, I know that both types of miscreants want to find ways into secure places – computers and networks, and ho... more »
Postmodernism is bunk
If you want to know what’s wrong with the modern world, then most of what’s wrong (apart from Geelong’s inability to play consistent football) is due to bad philosophy. And most of that bad philosophy in the modern world comes under the heading of postmodernism. Every student at every institution will have encountered it, and then either absorbed it (in whole or in part) or, if they’re particularly courageous, combatted it. Every one of those students — and you! — needs this book by Stephen Hicks in their backpack: something now made infinitely easier by author Stephen Hicks havi... more »

New Jersey: Defeating A Frelinghuysen
When I was very young, my family used to rent a summer bungalow in Ft. Freedom, New Jersey, northwest of Morristown in what is now Rodney Frelinghuysen's congressional district (NJ-11). He inherited this political domain from the Frelinghuysen dynasty and his great wealth from his mother's family, Beatice Proctor an heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune. His father represented the area from 1953 to 1975 and his grandfather, Freddy Frelinghuysen was a New Jersey senator (and a vice presidential nominee under Henry Clay in 1844.

"A Look to the Heavens"
"The constellation of Orion is much more than three stars in a row. It is a direction in space that is rich with impressive nebulas. To better appreciate this well-known swath of sky, an extremely long exposure was taken over many clear nights in 2013 and 2014. After 212 hours of camera time and an additional year of processing, the featured 1400-exposure collage spanning over 40 times the angular diameter of the Moon emerged. *Click image for larger size.* Of the many interesting details that have become visible, one that particularly draws the eye is Barnard's Loop, the bright red c... more »
"I Had An Experience..."
"I had an experience... I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever. A vision of the universe that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves, that we are not - that none of us - are alone! I wish I could share that. I wish, that everyone, if only for one moment, could feel that awe, and humility, and... more »
Chet Raymo, “Red Fish, Blue Fish...”
*“Red Fish, Blue Fish...”* by Chet Raymo “In his autobiography, the brilliant physicist John Archibald Wheeler makes this confession of faith: "Whatever can be, is." He goes further: "Whatever can be, must be." Anything not prohibited by the laws of nature, exists, he says. Well, that's an extravagent claim, but it passed my mind once when my colleague Maura T. invited me up to the Science Building to see a strange creature she had just added to the aquarium. Here's a pic, Chaetopterus, the parchment tube worm. In nature, it makes its own U-shaped "parchment" tube, which, except for... more »
“How Do We Humans Ever Make Good Decisions?”
*“How Do We Humans Ever Make Good Decisions?”* by Jim Taylor, Ph.D. “It’s a wonder that good decisions are ever made by the species known as Homo Sapiens. The reality is that the cards are stacked against us whenever we are faced with choices, especially when the decisions are of consequence. Think about all of the horrendously bad decisions that have been made in recent history and how obviously bad they look in our rear-view mirrors. The endless wars, securitizing mortgages, Congress, another season of The Kardashians, the list goes on. And bad decisions don’t just occur at the h... more »
Heat Flux From Below Melts Ice Sheets, Drives Temperatures & CO2 Variations
CO2 is 400 ppm over the parts of Antarctic that are warming and 400 ppm over the parts of Antarctica that are cooling. There is no way for CO2 to be causing that temperature differential. Additionally, CO2 cannot melt ice from below, it can only melt ice on the surface facing the atmosphere. While CO2 … Continue reading "Heat Flux From Below Melts Ice Sheets, Drives Temperatures & CO2 Variations"
The Undeniable “Consensus” is That There is an Overwhelming Liberal Bias to the Press

Is The U.S. Strategy To Defeat The Islamic State Working?
*Next Big Future*: *Delegate and Annihilate is working against ISIS* But less than four months after Trump took office, Mattis said the operational and tactical difference has been clear. Two significant changes resulted from President Trump’s review of our findings. 1. he delegated authority to the right level to aggressively and in a timely manner move against enemy vulnerabilities. 2. he directed a tactical shift”: surround ISIS fighters, instead of just pushing them out of a given territory. The changes can be described as effective delegation and annihilation. There has been ... more »
"The Wisdom of Studs Terkel"
“I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now.” “Why are we born? We're born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we're born and we die? We're born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.” “The September 11 assault was horrendous. But there's another assault that's taking place. It's an assault upon our intelligence. It's an assault upon our sense of decency as well as upon our faiths too, I believe.” “That's what we're missing. We're missing argument. We're missing debate. We're missing colloquy.

74 Percent of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Strike Fighter Fleet Can't Fight
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Thanks to sequestration and the F-35. The United States Navy has awarded Boeing a new contract to help resolve serious readiness problems with its F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fleets. The Department of the Navy’s (DON) strike fighter squadrons are in a dire situation where—at least at last report during Congressional testimony on Feb.7, 2017—more than 62 percent of the service’s fighters are for all intents and purposes grounded. Of that total, the Marine Corps’ strike fighter fleet—which is composed mostly of older original model F/A-18A/B/C/D Ho... more »
Why Iran Loves America's Top Fighter Jet (Of the 1970s)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Tehran and the movie Top Gun share a strange connection. *The Tomcat could theoretically fire up to six Phoenix missiles in rapid succession at different targets—an ability that was actually tested once. The result? Four hits out of six launches.* *Tomcats usually carried larger numbers of more conventional AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking missiles and medium-range AIM-7 Sparrow radar-guided missiles. The F-14 also had a twenty-millimeter cannon, a feature Navy Phantom fighters lacked. However, like the early models of the F-15 entering in... more »
How Hitler Planned to Turn the Tide of World War II: Stealth Fighters?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * You might have missed this in history class. *The Northrop testers stressed that combined with the Ho 229’s much greater speed, this modest improvement would have given defending fighters too little time to react effectively.* *But of course, the flying wing’s main feature was always supposed to be its speed, which could have exceeded the maximum speed of the best Allied fighters of the time by as much as 33 percent. Detection time would not have mattered greatly if it could outrun everything sent to intercept it. Furthermore, stealth would have ... more »
Why the U.S. Navy Needs to Study Battleships to Save the Aircraft Carrier
*James Holmes* *Security, * How can the U.S. Navy prolong the relevance of its big-deck aircraft carriers amid increasingly menacing surroundings? In part, through hindsight. *It is entirely possible that the technical challenges cataloged here are insoluble at any affordable cost, much as restoring the dreadnought's supremacy was impossible in World War II. Accordingly, it behooves the U.S. Navy and friendly services to experiment with new technologies and concepts now, in case the sunset of the aircraft carrier approaches. We make much of the abrupt switch between battleships ... more »
America's Afghanistan Problem: It's Not Just about Sending More Troops
*Michael O'Hanlon* *Security, Asia* [image: U.S. Army soldiers in Kharwar District, Afghanistan. DVIDSHUB/Public domain] The United States needs to redo the phase of the Afghanistan mission that it unwisely skipped in 2015 and 2016. Reportedly, the Trump administration is considering adding several thousand U.S. troops—ideally accompanied by other NATO and foreign reinforcements too—to the U.S.-led mission in Afghanistan. The current mission totals some 8,500 Americans, and roughly twelve thousand foreign troops in all, so the possible increase could amount to an augmentation of ... more »
Why Trump's First Trip Is Focusing on Faith
*Alberto M. Fernandez* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Donald and Melania Trump arrive at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

Despised by so many among the American political and cultural elite, President Trump paradoxically still has a tremendous opportunity during his first overseas trip to begin to forge a common civilizational front at a key point in Middle East history. Given that most media coverage of President Trump is negative, it is no... more »
