Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not. • Is it not possible to attract only positive conditions into our life? If our attitude and our thinking are always positive, we would manifest only positive events and situations, wouldn't we? Do you truly know what is positive and what is negative? Do you have the total picture? There have been many people for whom limitation, failure, loss, illness, or pain in whatever form turned out to b... more »
"The True Dream..."
“Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that reality is better. We convince ourselves it’s better that we never dream at all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we’re lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true dream is being able to dream at all.” - Dr. Meredith Grey, "Grey's Anatomy"

Russia Makes Some Dangerous Guns. But the Ammo Is a Big Problem.
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* What can be done to fix it? Russian infantry weapons have a reputation for reliability. The AK and PKM are renowned for enduring through adverse conditions, powered by their powerful long-stroke piston actions. However, a recent report by warhead.su suggests that when these weapons do fail in Russian service, the problem is often not in their design, but rather in the Russian ammunition they fire. This is not a new phenomenon. Russian imported ammunition to the United States has always been regarded as “budget” brands, with inconsistent quality.... more »
Big Bombs: 5 Biggest U.S. Nuclear Weapons Tests Ever
*Steve Weintz* *History, Asia* And why America turned away from massive nuclear weapons yields. Recent reports of collapse at the North Korean nuclear test site under Mt.

North Korea’s sixth (and final?) test had a likely yield well above one hundred kilotons, enough to corroborate the regime's claim of thermonuclear capability. Really big nuclear explosions require the lightest elements rather than the heaviest. Fission explosions rely on the energy released by splitting heavy atoms of uranium or plutoni... more »

In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood - it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea a... more »
Hi, it's Stupid: Bari Weiss
2008 edition of a work originally published in 2001, whose authors "had the ability to take an everyday menu of spaghetti and waffles and transform biblical, practical wisdom into a word picture that has encourage, equipped, and inspired couples worldwide." I haven't read it, but I think the idea of the central metaphor is that we guys are furnished with many tiny pockets in which butter and syrup collect, whereas for helpless gals it just runs off their backs, which explains why they have to do what we tell them to do or go without butter and syrup altogether, because that's how G... more »

Tribe
Sebastian Junger’s bestselling book *Tribe* is fascinating and perplexing. He’s a journalist who has covered a number of armed conflicts. As a result of these experiences, he’s developed an admiration for war and warriors, because chaos brings out the best in people. It creates an alternate reality in which it is acceptable and desirable to behave like human beings (sort of). During times of helter-skelter, people shift into a tribal mode. Divisive stuff, like race, religion, and politics, are largely swept under the bed. Emotional disagreements over beliefs that are irrele... more »

Monsanto, Bayer Join Forces to Try and “Save” the Butterfly Population They Helped Destroy
The Monsanto Company is part of a “Big Five” of chemical companies that have shaped the way we do agriculture in the United States, based on the post-World War II model of toxic, synthetic pesticides and large-scale farming operations. While some say this style helped launch an agricultural revolution to help feed more hungry people, it has also caused massive collateral damage in the form of plummeting bee populations, over 200,000 deaths caused directly by pesticide exposure each year, and even the killing off of the iconic monarch butterfly population.
