"Enter, stranger, but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed, For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors A treasure that was never yours, Thief, you have been warned, beware Of finding more than treasure there. " - J.K.

Battleships Attack!: Meet the 5 Greatest Warships to Ever Head to Sea

James Holmes at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, * You can't stop them. *Yamato met a quixotic fate, though less ignominious than Bismarck's. In April 1945 the super battleship was ordered to steam toward Okinawain company with remnants of the surface fleet, there to contest the Allied landings. The vessel would deliberately beach itself offshore, becoming an unsinkable gun emplacement until it was destroyed or its ammunition was exhausted. U.S. naval intelligence got wind of the scheme, however, and aerial bombardment dispatched Yamato before she could reach her destination. A lackluster end for his...more »

Oregon Pediatrician Responds to Critics – Explains How Much Money Pediatricians Make on Vaccines

AdminM at Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
Let us set the record straight. I am not anti-vaccine. I am absolutely pro-science and vaccine risk aware. One huge misconception, and I see the comments on this, is that pediatricians don't make money on vaccines or that they are not financially incentivized to vaccinate. There are profits from vaccine mark-ups and huge profits from vaccine administration fees. The average admin fee is about $35 per vaccine. For the 715 patients born into my practice who have refused to give any vaccines (each child would have had 28 vaccines by age 2 and over 60 vaccines in their childhood) amoun... more »
