Sumerians Didn’t Invent the Wheel
My search for Climate Science truth just took a very interesting turn. While reading about the “Wet Sahara” I discovered this cave painting in Lybia. It is claimed to be 12,000 years old (10,000 BC) and clearly shows a wheeled vehicle. The Sumerians are believed to have been the inventors of the wheel around 3,500 BC. … Continue reading "Sumerians Didn’t Invent the Wheel"

The Trump Wing Has Found Its Scapegoat-- And It's A Turtle
Fox was the only news channel not reporting on the tremendous losses the Republicans suffered on Tuesday-- not just in Virginia and New Jersey but, down ballot, in every state that held an election. No mention of Trump cronies like that crazy mayor in in Brook Park Ohio and Rob Astorino, one of Trump's closest friend in politics, who Bannon and Mercer just spent a million dollars trying to save-- and failed miserably. In his latest interview with Hannity, Bannon went so far as to imply that Tuesday was a day of GOP victories. He quickly turned his frustration and ire against the ... more »
Three Ways To Know If You Are Addicted To Struggling
There are many forms of addiction: drugs, shopping, food, and sex are among the most common. But there is one addiction that we hardly ever talk about: the addiction to struggle. In her beautiful tiny book on daily meditations for people of color, "Acts of Faith," Iyanla Van Zant reminds us that for some reason, we believe that struggle is noble that somehow it brings special rewards. And that God or the force you may call God, is pleased when we struggle. Struggling is one of the things that women and people of color know how to do-- and we do it well. Is it time to stop?

Let go of suffering: 5 daily practices
This karmic cleanse is a like weeding a garden, except in this case, you are not toiling soil, but weeding your soul. It all starts with the work we do within--clearing out spaces so that we can grow and harvest goodness. Going in and checking to see what weeds--or behaviours-- are disturbing your flow and your wholeness is essential. Each of us is a universal expression of love and perfection yet so few understand this. I was in that space--of not knowing my beauty--for a long time. The internal work has been arduous at times, but it's been worth it and it's ongoing. Each day, I ... more »

Could China's New Type 55 Destroyer Beat the U.S. Navy in Battle?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* It would be interesting to say the least. One word can probably describe the way Chinese media has been talking about the Type 055 destroyer: one-upsmanship. Everything from the amount of VLS cells to the displacement weight has been hyped up as being larger and better than the competitors. Even the size of the Type 055 has lead some Western analysts, such as *The Military Balance*, to see it as a cruiser and not a destroyer. But what role will the Type 055 play in the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN)? And how does it match up against the regi... more »
5 Ways the U.S. Navy Could Destroy North Korea in a War
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* 5 weapons, that is. North Korea, located on a peninsula, has more than 1,500 miles of coastline.

Most major cities and towns are located on the country’s west and east coasts, and no point in the entire country is more than 130 miles from the sea. In the event of war with North Korea, the United States Navy will be particularly useful in—ideally—bringing war to a swift conclusion. Here are five U.S. Navy weapons that would be... more »

Chet Raymo, “The Cosmography of Myself”
*“The Cosmography of Myself”* by Chet Raymo “It was a common conceit of the Middle Ages and Renaissance to think of the human self– body and soul– as a microcosm, a little world made cunningly of elements and an angel-like sprite, a miniature version of the macroscosm, the universe. So-called "correspondences" linked the microcosm and the macrocosm. For example, each of the seven holes in the human head corresponded to a celestial body- Sun, Moon, or one of the five known planets. Astrology articulated a vast system of correspondences between the peregrinations of stars and human l... more »

Let us hope it will always be like this, each of us going on in our inexplicable ways building the universe.” ~ Mary Oliver, “Why I Wake Early”

Before the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey were crystallized and canonized in the books of Homer sometime in the 8th century B.C., various (and often conflicting) tales of the Trojan War and its heroes had floated around in various forms for hundreds of years.

Naturally, Corbyn will condemn such attacks, but it means nothing for the Jew walking to synagogue and being abused with racial slurs, for Jewish students being branded dirty Zionists and worse.'
