"The Secret Of Life..."
“Twaddle, rubbish, and gossip is what people want, not action.

Cheap meaningless words from cheap, nothing people... Do YOU walk the walk, or just talk the talk?

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "Mysteries, Yes"
*"Mysteries, Yes"* "Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads." ~ Mary Oliver

Air-Independent Propulsion Submarines: Stealthy, Cheap and the Future?
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Should the U.S. Navy get some? Over the past decade, air-independent propulsion (AIP) for submarines has spread rapidly around the world. The technology, which allows conventionally powered submarines to operate without access to outside air, has the potential the shift the balance away from the big nuclear attack submarines (SSNs) that have dominated undersea warfare since the 1950s, and back towards small conventional boats. In global terms, this might again make submarines the great strategic equalizer; small, cheap weapons that can destroy t... more »

The 5 Best Revolvers (Ruger and Smith & Wesson Made the Cut)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, North America* The best of the best. The revolver was one of the first multi-shot handguns. The revolver concept was preceded by the so-called “pepperbox” handgun, which used multiple barrels to arm an individual with multiple ready-to-fire bullets. This was later refined to the revolver concept, which saved weight by using a single barrel served by a revolving, cylindrical magazine holding six or more bullets. Although semiautomatic pistols have overtaken revolvers on the U.S. market, there are several good revolver designs that command attention. Si... more »

*Robin Simcox* *Security, Middle East* [image: A member of the Syrian Democratic Forces calls his comrades during the fighting with Islamic State fighters in Raqqa, Syria] President Trump deserves credit for hastening the downfall of their Caliphate.

It is nothing to do with any short term politics about Norht Korea or Iran. Nowadays they also include global warming as an issue and the worst effects of that will be towards the end of the century.

Making Congress Better: 2 Great Candidates-- Nina Ahmad in Philly And Lisa Brown In Spokane
This week Blue America endorsed two inspiring candidates for Congress on opposite ends of the country. Nina Ahmad in running in Philadelphia and Lisa Brown is running for the eastern Washington seat based in Spokane. Yes, they're both women and since 51% of the population of this country are women and just 19% of the House are women, its great that two will help right that egregious disparity. But that isn't why we decided to endorse either of them. We endorsed them because they are-- by far-- the best candidates running, regardless of gender. Tomorrow McConnell has scheduled a vo... more »

Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo
What makes for a classic video game? You tell me. But typically, when YouTubers draw up their list of favourite games ever, or at the very least throw together a best of re: the beloved Super Nintendo, 1994's *Super Metroid* is invariably there. What is it that marks this title as an evergreen classic that stands a good chance of getting a play or two a century from now, assuming disaster doesn't befall us and all we hold dear isn't ground into radioactive dust? Let us bolt down the time tunnel and revisit the attributes of an average game. The mundane and the ordinary is a game th... more »

The eagle is floating! A couple of bald eagles decided to rest their wings and instead float down the Mississippi River in Illinois.
