North Korea's Missile Tests a "Warning": How Should Trump Respond?
*Audrey Conklin* *Security, * Back to 'fire and fury'? North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said Wednesday that the country’s ballistic missile test Tuesday was a “warning” to both South Korea and the United States. Kim said the test was “an occasion to send an adequate warning to the joint military drill now underway by the U.S. and South Korean authorities,” Reutersreported, citing the state-operated Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Kim’s comments came a day after North Korea launched two missiles from the western airfield across the country to an area near Pyongyang an... more »
Guns Saved These Americans From Assault and Robbery in July
*Amy Swearer, Lucas Drill* *Politics, * As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted in a 2013 report, almost all national studies of defensive gun uses have found that firearms are used in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times every year in the United States. In the wake of tragic mass shootings, such as those occurring in recent days in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, it’s understandable that the nation would search for answers. It’s easy to blame the tools used in the killings and call for measures that would broadly restrict public access to them, ins... more »
Japan Is Facing an Unprecedented Population Meltdown
*Steven Kopits* *economy, * Wonder why their economy has slowed? *Demographics are also a key driver of the national budget. Japan has run hefty national budget deficits for the last quarter century. The country’s working age population peaked in the late 1990s, and has been falling since. With a decline in its workforce, Japan’s GDP growth also declined, and this appears in turn to have led to lower domestic interest rates. At the same time, Japan’s elderly population has been soaring. Given fewer workers, more retirees and lower interest rates, the Japanese government decided... more »

How to Make Russia Great Again
*Boris Mezhuev* *Politics, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] The Putin administration must change its perspective on regional self-governance. In 2012 Russian president Vladimir Putin was confronted by mass protests in Moscow and was able to more or less legitimately win the presidential elections and move his protégé and predecessor Dmitri Medvedev to the chair of prime minister. Today, as a fresh round of protests takes place over upcoming Moscow municipal elections, however, Russia is experiencing a more profound and protracted crisis.

Trouble in Paradise: Cracks are Forming in the Saudi-Emirati Relationship
*Yoel Guzansky, Moran Zaga* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Recent tension in the Gulf affords a glimpse into one of many disputes between Saudi Arabia and the UAE on appropriate responses to common challenges. The relations between Saudi Arabia and the UAE have not always been smooth. Even before the latter’s independence in 1971, the affairs between the ruling families, al-Nahyan of Abu-Dhabi and al-Saud of Riyad, were tense due to borders disputes and power struggles. Today, however, it seems that the two countries have never been closer. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have... more »

Number of Displaced Returning Home In Iraq Cut In Half In 2019
The first six months of 2019 has seen a nearly 50% reduction in the number of displaced (IDPs) who are returning to their homes. While the vast majority of people have made the venture back there is still over one and half million IDPs. At the same time over 500,000 of those that have gone back are living in severe conditions. This highlights the lack of a government policy to deal with internal refugees, reconciliation and reconstruction. By June 2019 there were 1,607,148 IDPs and 4,305,138 returnees. From May to June an average of 28,980 people went home per month. That was down ... more »

Shutting down fossil infrastructure requires government intervention.

The pitch usually goes something this, "If you have a few thousand dollars in your brokerage account, you might qualify to borrow money against your existing stocks at a low interest rate to buy even more stock, leveraging your returns!"

Indian plan to reintegrate Jammu and Kashmir should be respected
Most of us consider India and Pakistan to be the third world and that limits the attention paid to these countries (Škoda Octavia easily became an Indian bestseller in its category by selling just 196 units in all of India last month!).

We got a little bit closer to such a severe conflict when Pakistan voiced some dissatisfaction with some Indian government's steps to normalize the conditions on the disputed territory. First, some basic geography. The grey area is India – which is mostly a Hindu (and Buddhist) count... more »

Get A Grip
Max Boot writes that it's time for white people in the United States to get a grip. They're not victims. The evidence to support his assertion is overwhelming: Whites are still much better off than blacks. The poverty rate among African Americans is 21.8 percent; among whites, 8.8 percent. The median wealth of black households is $17,409; among whites, $171,000. The homeownership rate for blacks is 41.2 percent; among whites, 71.1 percent. There is also manifold evidence of continuing discrimination against African Americans. It’s hard to imagine a white man being choked to death ... more »
Emotional Support Animals - The Ethical Challenge In Signing Off On Them Is Not Being Met
After California realized that their coastal counties not only led the country in vaccine denial for personal preference, they actually had more than the rest of the U.S. combined, the legislature passed a law eliminating exemptions for all but medical reasons. Sure enough, those same counties where rich white people believed vaccines cause autism suddenly had a surge in medical exemptions. Wealthy people found doctors willing to agree that their child needed a medical exemption even if they were not immune compromised. read more

Being a giant in a country like New Zealand, well known for giant birds, is common. Moa dominated avifaunas but giant geese and adzebills shared the forest floor, while a giant eagle ruled the skies.

The Evolutionary Origins Of Skin

The products of these keratin genes assemble to form the girders of the cytoskeleton in skin cells, called keratinocytes, that maintain a tight barrier betw... more »
