Imperial War Museums *Robin Andrews, Forbes: **Meet The Covert Geologists That Helped The Allies Win The Second World War* Scientists are often recruited during times of conflict to serve the national cause. Generally, when we think of those stolen academics, we think of physicists, chemists, engineers and mathematicians – the type that can either build better weapons or crack the enemies’ codes. That’s fair enough: they certainly made up a disproportionate number of rese... more »

However, it is hard to dramatize this possibility or to make a convincing case for the exact pathway to a war.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places.

Fake News vs. Faith News: How Biblical Principles Can Expose the Truth through Investigative Journalism

The mission statement of ProPublica, my employer, says we want to use the “moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform.” If you go through my work, you may sense a bit of “moral force.” The Bible teaches that people are made in the image of God a... more »

The Battle For Idlib: Al-Qaeda's Last Stand In Syria?
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley joined her boss, President Trump, in warning the Syrian government not to re-take the last bit of Syrian territory controlled by rebels. The problem is President Trump's own Special Envoy for the fight against ISIS has confirmed that this region, Idlib, is controlled by al-Qaeda. The neocons are itching to have some more bombs lobbed at the Syrian government and have all but called for a false flag by the rebels to provide cover. How will the "last battle" play out?

Whole Grains Can Help Prevent Type 2 Diabetes - As Long As They're Coupled With Fewer Calories

Which is like declaring that any pasta can reduce type 2 diabetes, which will also be true - if in either case the calories are reduced.
