"A Look to the Heavens"
“Most galaxies don't have any rings - why does this galaxy have two? To begin, the bright band near NGC 1512's center is a nuclear ring, a ring that surrounds the galaxy center and glows brightly with recently formed stars. Most stars and accompanying gas and dust, however, orbit the galactic center in a ring much further out - here seen near the image edge. This ring is called, counter-intuitively, the inner ring. If you look closely, you will see this the inner ring connects ends of a diffuse central bar that runs horizontally across the galaxy. *Click image for larger size.* Thes... more »

Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice
Very few mainstream media have taken the opportunity to write about the new commission that President Trump brought into being.

Fifty years ago President Johnson also set up such a commission. One important result of that was the establishment of the 911 call center.

The pandemic of COVID-19 is often called “unprecedented” – and for many people cooped up in their homes in different countries, the experience is both unparalleled and challenging.

Keep Calm: This Is How BBC Listeners Got Through World War II
*Christina Baade* *History, Europe* [image: Reuters] They listened to an unlikely star. In Britain, during the first weeks of the Second World War, public entertainment venues closed down. The blackout darkened the streets, and people stuck at home turned to radio as never before. They were seeking news but also diversion — a difficult balance for the BBC to achieve. Many hated what they heard. But the BBC had a seemingly unlikely star: Canadian-born Sandy Macpherson, the BBC’s resident theatre organist. In September 1939, a listener wrote, “We should like to know if you keep S... more »

Slowly but surely, Riyadh is beginning to look west. After years of comparatively modest engagement with the countries of East Africa, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is today putting in... more »
Samsung's Q90R QLED 4K HDTV: The OLED Killer Has Arrived?

The Q90R is arguably the first QLED TV to truly overcome this trade-off, offering all the familiar strengths of QLED technology but without its usual weaknesses.

Will Health Leaders Rewrite History Over the Coronavirus?
*Roger Bate* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] The political fallout from COVID-19 may be significant. In the United States, it could cost President Donald Trump the election. So the coronavirus turned out to be worse than almost anyone expected. Two months ago I thought it was being overhyped, but, as cases and deaths rise, I realize I was wrong. The biggest mistake I and others made, was that although the mortality rate certainly isn’t that high under normal circumstances (maybe 0.5 percent — although we are far from certain), the novelty of the virus means health systems can... more »

As of today, there are 368 cases in New Zealand, up from 39 recorded a week ago, and just over three weeks after the first case was reported on March 3. The question now is how long it will take before we see numbers going down again. We can draw on the experiences of other countries such as China, which i... more »
The Decade Of Transformation Is Here: Remaking The Economy For The People
The pandemic, economic collapse and the government's response to them are going to not only determine the 2020 election but define the future for this decade and beyond.

However, the rescue bill recently passed by Congress provides a fraction of what most people need to get through this period. Once again, a pandemic will reshape the course of history.

*Blue skies, nothing but blue skies* If you were shocked to hear polling that indicated that a majority or plurality of Americans approved of how Trump was handling the pandemic, keep in mind that whenever there's a national calamity, Americans tend to rally round the flag.

Nuclear Bomb Backpacks Are a Thing (And 100 Could Be Missing)
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Tactical nuclear weapons could be the ultimate terror weapon. Tactical nuclear weapons — compacts, small-yield atomic bombs that are not necessarily designed to be rained down on cities from bomber aircraft, nor delivered via Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles, but could be an artillery shell, a nuclear torpedo, landmine, or other small and easily transportable devices. One of these tactical nuclear devices is the so-called “backpack” or “suitcase nuke” — essentially a nuclear device so small, it could be transported in a backpack or in a person’s l... more »

“Finding Stillness in the Storms”
*“Finding Stillness in the Storms”* by Christina Feldman "We are emotional beings living in an emotional world. Stillness is rarely our first response to the waves of emotion that sweep through us. Feeling helpless within emotional storms, we come to believe that expression and action are the only means to alleviate the tensions of anger, fear, and panic. Even happiness and love appear to require action or expression for us to believe in their validity. The many forms of rage that scar our communities- road rage, supermarket rage, surf rage, institutional rage- all bear witness to ... more »
"I Don't Believe..."
"I don't believe in 'original sin.' I don't believe in 'guilt.' I don't believe in villains or heroes - only right or wrong ways that individuals have taken, not by choice but by necessity or by certain still-uncomprehended influences in themselves, their circumstances, and their antecedents. This is so simple I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm sure it's true. In fact, I would bet my life on it! And that's why I don't understand why our propaganda machines are always trying to teach us, to persuade us, to hate and fear other people on the same little world that we live in." - Tennessee... more »
"The New (Forced) Frugality"
*"The New (Forced) Frugality"* by Charles Hugh Smith "In post-World War II America, the cultural zeitgeist viewed frugality as a choice: permanent economic growth and federal anti-poverty programs steadily reduced the number of people in deep economic hardship (i.e. forced frugality) and raised the living standards of those in hardship to the point that the majority of households could choose to be frugal or live large by borrowing money to enable additional spending. Either way, rising income and net worth would raise all ships, frugal and free-spending alike. For everyone above t... more »

Michael Smith adds some perspective to death statistics
"I'm not trying to minimize the deaths from the Coronavirus pandemic but when I heard a report yesterday that now in New York, one person dies every 17 minutes due to the disease and that it could get to one person every 9 minutes.
