*“Whence Ourselves?”* by Chet Raymo “My post of yesterday took me back to David S. Goodsell's "The Machinery of Life," and I found myself reading the book again. There is nothing I didn't already know, but it's worth reading again for the same reason one might read, say, "Anna Karenina" or "Moby Dick" several times in the course of a life. In fact, Goodsell's book would be a good candidate for the one science book I would recommend to someone stuck on a desert island. Step by step he takes us through the molecular machinery shared by all life on Earth. Humans have a lot more in com... more »

He is filled with the joy of the mystery of creation. Why should I explain everything to you and take away that joy? I will not. The purpose of my words is to create silence, to create joy. I am not here to stuff your head full of knowledge. A child starts out innocent. You ask him something and he says, "I don't know." Then that child grows up and thinks he knows everything.

*"Mother To Son"* "Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor - Bare. But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's, And turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark Where there ain't been no light. So, boy, don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps. 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard. Don't you fall now - For I'se still goin', honey, I'se still climbin', And life for me ain't been no crystal stair." - Langston Hughes

"Is there an answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people? The response would be… to forgive the world for not being perfect, to forgive God for not making a better world, to reach out to the people around us, and to go on living despite it all, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it has happened." - Harold S.

But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents.

*Kathryn Dura* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The combination of availability and munition capability makes the armament of commercial drones a significant civilian and military concern. Motivated by the threat of terrorist drones, the House recently approved the “Preventing Emerging Threats Act of 2018” and the Senate is expected to follow suit. The bill allows Homeland Security and the Justice Department to detect, track, and even destroy an unmanned aircraft.

Evan Sankey at Test Feed Using Fields - 3 hours ago
*Evan Sankey* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Americans need to insist that they have choices for how to manage geopolitical power struggles apart from the status quo reflexive military defense.

Alas, the "Union" side in this already-ignited civil war appears to have no generals. At least none with any sense of where the battlefield really is.

The back with two beasts

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 9 hours ago
Below you'll find two transcripts concerning the BBC's editorial policy regarding climate change. I'll use this post then to shove in my tuppenceworth. I've said before that I find that BBC TV's *Newswatch *and Radio 4's *Feedback* are different beasts. You're more likely to hear complaints of the kind *we* make on *Newswatch *than you are on *Feedback*. And *Newswatch *tries to project a more impartial style than *Feedback*, with Samira Ahmed taking more care to appear even-handed than Roger Bolton. And *Feedback* does seem to me to be more agenda-driven than *Newswatch*. So ... more »

Dynasty

Yet more about Charlotte Moore, albeit in passing... In her Steve Hewlett Memorial Lecture this week, she described the new three-part BBC Two series *A Dangerous Dynasty: House of Assad *as a "must-see" programme. So, being an obedient soul, I obeyed and watched the first episode. And it really is excellent. The opening programme took us up to 2003, three years after the death of the Don Corleone of the family, Hafez al-Assad, and the assumption of power by his Michael Corleone-like second son Bashar. Old Hafez, a skull with a moustache, always struck me as a wrong 'un, but I d... more »

Why Must America Prepare to Fight Two Wars Simultaneously?

*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* [image: Photo by Capt. Joseph Legros] Can we afford it? Should the U.S. military be strong enough to fight two major wars simultaneously? Or is such a gargantuan effort more than America should be expected to bear? A pillar of American defense policy has been the ability of the United States to successfully engage in two major conflicts—think Russia or China—or big regional conflicts like war with North Korea. Yet the U.S. military lacks the strength to fight two major conflicts simultaneously, according to a report by the Heritage Foundation. The... more »

How NOT to win friends and influence customers

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
What's the old saying? "Make sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear." A British banker should have borne that in mind. Banks are facing a furious reaction from customers after saying they should foot the compensation bill for fraud by paying a tax on every transaction made. UK Finance chief Stephen Jones told MPs on the Treasury committee today that banks shouldn't always have to cover the costs when criminals con people into transferring money out of their accounts. A tiny levy on each payment made in the UK could be a solution to covering the rising cost of such sc... more »

The Tremonton UFO Film and Haddaway

We have a list of cases, even if we don’t mention it, that seem, on their face, to be inexplicable. They have some form of instrumentality involved which means we are not relying on the observations of the witnesses. Ed Ruppelt One of these cases is the film taken near Tremonton, Utah, in July 1952, by Navy Warrant Officer Delbert Newhouse. It shows a bunch of lights dancing around in a bright blue sky.
