Trump’s Tweets Slam Canada and Trudeau Anew from Singapore
President Donald Trump took more swipes at Canada and its prime minister over trade issues as he settled in for a summit with North Korea in Singapore, contending that "Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal."
Editor's Commentary -- Singapore Summit
It has been an interesting few hours. I suspect that much of what was discussed will be disclosed in the next day or two. I found both men unsure of themselves .... especially Kim Jong-un. But that is not surprising .... there has never been a U.S. - North Korean meeting like this one. I found when they gathered for their working lunch President Trump was clearly in a very positive mood .... while Kim Jong-un had the look of a man who was not sure on what was going to happen next .... and his delegation also looked very unsure of themselves. That is just the impression that I was get... more »

"The Line..."
“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Fantastic shapes lurk in clouds of glowing gas in the giant star forming region NGC 6188. The emission nebula is found about 4,000 light years away near the edge of a large molecular cloud unseen at visible wavelengths, in the southern constellation Ara. Massive, young stars of the embedded Ara OB1 association were formed in that region only a few million years ago, sculpting the dark shapes and powering the nebular glow with stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation. *Click image for larger size.* The recent star formation itself was likely triggered by winds and supernova e... more »

Chet Raymo, “In A Dark Time...”
*“In A Dark Time...”* by Chet Raymo “I've quoted a few of these lines before, from a poem by Charles Simic: "It's like fishing in the dark. Our thoughts are the hooks, Our heart the raw bait. We cast the line past all believing Into the night sky Until it's lost to sight." In a sense, that's the story of my life: a long love affair with the night sky. My first book of popular science was “365 Starry Nights”. My first book of personal prose was “The Soul of the Night: An Astronomical Pilgrimage”. “An Intimate Look at the Night Sky” followed much later, but every book in between, fict... more »
Expert Helps Educators Adjust Implicit Biases
Bentley Gibson had magical powers as a princess from another planet. At least, that’s how the 5-year-old Black girl presented herself to a sea of White classmates in White Plains, N.Y. on the first day of school. She sensed that they regarded her as different, and make-believe was her mechanism for coping with the racial tension and subtle prejudice she would encounter in life.
"What's the Malthusian Premise?"
*"What's the Malthusian Premise?"* by William Harris "For many natural scientists, 1859 marks the beginning of the modern era of biology. That's the year Charles Darwin published "The Origin of Species," the book that spelled out the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin is such a cultural icon and so closely identified with evolution that it's easy to think that he arrived at his theories in a vacuum. In reality, the father of modern biology was influenced by Thomas Malthus, who published "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. In fact, it might be said that ...more »

When Mo Salah met Kadryrov : What shall you do if you were in his shoes ?
Tonight I was wondering what shall I blog about. Shall I write about those disastrous new media and press laws that can put an end to blogging and social media altogether ? or Shall I write about the fiascos of Egyptian Football Association "EFA" and its scandals on the sidelines of the World Cup 2018 as a light subject? Well, I am writing this post now and I think it combines human rights and Egypt’s National Team in the World Cup. No, I will not speak about the official suites fiasco but rather about a recent incident that happened on Sunday. [image: Ramzan Kadryov] Yup, that's i... more »
