*Deadpool 2 Trailer* There's a record-breaking heatwave going on in Vancouver at the moment. We don't have air conditioning yet...never needed it for decades that we've lived in this house. Now we need it. Bad. I got a tip yesterday that if you buy one of those window air conditioners and put it in your fireplace and put the hose up the chimney flue instead of hanging it out of the window, you can be quite comfortable in your living room. Gonna get me one of those air conditioners today. Yesterday I took my handicapped 60 year old brother [he has Down Syndrome] to the movies ... more »
Great Tits Have Same Impulse Control As Chimpanzees
Impulse control is associated with larger cognitively advanced animals like humans and other primates, but there are exceptions, like ravens. Now a recent study shows that the great tit, a common European songbird, has a tremendous capacity for self-control - almost the same as chimpanzees. Biologists learned this by placing food in a small translucent cylinder. The great tits that started pecking at the cylinder to get to the food failed the test as the behavior was considered an impulsive act. Those that, on the other hand, moved to an opening in the cylinder and thereby were abl... more »
Negligence, or deliberately misleading the taxpayers?

Growth In Education and Unrest In Iraq
Baghdad Univ Education should be a gateway to more opportunities such as employment and higher wages. In Iraq however graduates face limited jobs, which is resulting in growing unrest as expressed by the annual summer protests.

From 1940-51 the number of secondary and primary schools increasedby 70% and 50% respectively. The next decade there was an even larger burst with secondary sch... more »

Tennessee Greets Me - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
*Tennessee Sunset**Tennessee greets me* *Driving to the family homestead* *Felt the land's sweetness* © 2018 *M.N. Hopkins* *Note:* This was inspired during the watching of a music show filmed in Tennessee and it bought back an old memory of driving toward Dad’s old place of birth and youth. While in the car, I could feel an intense feeling of sweetness that felt like a greeting as if the spirit of the place was welcoming me. This is the spirit that I wish to convey in this poem. I wrote this poem over the weekend and published it for the first time on my blog today, the 30th... more »
Qanon FISA TREASON Spelled out
This spells out all who colluded and who will now face treason charges for conspiring to oust the elected President of the USA. It does not get uglier than this and involves the control of the MSM as well. Paint it any way you want, involvement means death by firing squad. The people will be singing as the volleys ring out. Trump will decapitate the DEEP STATE with the sudden arrest of around 55,000 making it impossible for the DEEP STATE to effectively act. In the meantime most already know it is coming and are sensibly afraid to communicate. Yet understand that this i... more »
Qanon - Mueller's Curious Back History
It just keeps coming now. I just shared ( Thursday ) a post by an established medium who confirmed that JFK jr and his wife is very much alive and is now the likely leader of the Q team in the Whitehouse. First off, it all works. We do not have formal confirmation, but then i was never able to confirm a kidnapped child was the women we discovered and actually located 35 years later with assistance from the other side. Yet it led me to discover a string of resources disclosing the DEEP SPACE program and the related mind control program necessary for crewing. The lady medium... more »
US crude oil production hit record level in June
*[image: US crude oil production hit record level in June]* The USA has a massive legacy of produced oil reservoirs that respond wonderfully to fracking technology. We do not have to look for this oil and the elephant in the room was always the Permian basement in which we have multiple productive zones often simply shut in as they were not attractive for water flushing which was the standard then. Now we can get much of that oil by going directly into the formation and laying down a system of horizontal wells to drain the then fracked formation. We get plenty of flush production... more »
Ringmakers of Saturn ch 6 - Luminoids
The luminoids appear to be integral to whatsoever is driving the creation and operation of the rings and all the scales work together to support the idea of an intelligence created facility. Even the idea of all those moons acting as shepherds suggests an extraordinary order. I have proposed one application for these rings. Why do we have a luminous output at all? What is really happening here? *CHAPTER 6* *Luminoids* *With the single exception of the F ring, each of Saturn's rings exhibits great breadth. In comparison with the other rings, the F ring is but a narrow t... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* I don't normally condone vandalism but this Pick Axe Guy actually does deserve a star, unlike the traitor whose star he destroyed. I even consider the act of taking a pick axe to the Hollywood Star of Donald Jackass Trump an act of fine performance art; very fine. And very fine patriotic performance art at that! Like most things in his miserable excuse for a life, Traitor Don did nothing to earn his star.

“To some, the outline of the open cluster of stars M6 resembles a butterfly. M6, also known as NGC 6405, spans about 20 light-years and lies about 2,000 light years distant. M6 can best be seen in a dark sky with binoculars towards the constellation of Scorpius, coving about as much of the sky as the full moon. *Click image for larger size.* Like other open clusters, M6 is composed predominantly of young blue stars, although the brightest star is nearly orange. M6 is estimated to be about 100 million years old. Determining the distance to clusters like M6 helps astronomers calibrat... more »
"I Remember..."
"I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more – the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort – to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires – and expires, too soon, too soon – before life itself." - Joseph Conrad, 1857-1924, English writer, "Youth"

Can Gary Johnson Really Scramble The New Mexico Senate Race? I Doubt It
Gary Johnson was a Republican in 1995 when he was elected-- and then reelected in in 1999-- governor of New Mexico, a swing state at the time. With a D+3 PVI, the state is pretty reliably Democratic now. Obama beat McCain 56.1% to 41.8%; Obama beat Romney 53% to 42.8% and even Hillary won, beating Trump 48.3% to 40.0%. In 2016, Johnson ran for president as a Libertarian and won 4,489,235 votes (3.27%) nationally. In New Mexico, however, he took 9.34% of the vote, far more than in any other state. After losing, though, he said he would never run for office again. But... it looks li... more »

Chet Raymo, "Dying"
*"Dying"* by Chet Raymo "I'm sure I have written here before about Caenorhabditis elegans, a tiny worm - about the size of this letter i (without the dot) - that has become one of the most thoroughly studied animals in biology. Its habits are humble. It is nonpathogenic, noninfectious. It breeds prodigiously. It is transparent. It can be frozen and thawed alive. And heaven knows what else makes it the darling of the wormologists. More than anything else, it is about a simple an organism as you can find with a nervous system.

The Poet: Wendell Berry, "The Circles Of Our Lives"
*"The Circles Of Our Lives"* "Within the circles of our lives we dance the circles of the years, the circles of the seasons within the circles of the years, the cycles of the moon, within the circles of the seasons, the circles of our reasons within the cycles of the moon. Again, again we come and go, changed, changing. Hands join, unjoin in love and fear, grief and joy. The circles turn, each giving into each, into all. Only music keeps us here, each by all the others held. In the hold of hands and eyes we turn in pairs, that joining joining each to all again. And then we turn aside, ... more »
