Jesus has gone ahead of us—Reflections from Lakeside’s pastor

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
*Read Mark 16:1-7* The Easter story is recorded in all four Gospels, but each tells the story differently. It’s like learning about the contemporary crisis via Fox News, CNN, NBC and ABC. Each tells the story with a slightly different bias. In Mark’s version, the women rise early on the first day of the week and take spices to anoint the (supposed) dead body of Jesus. On their way, they worry: who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb? Certainly, they’re not going to be able to do it. When they arrive, they find the stone, which is very large, has already been ro... more »

Bill Whittle: Is the Wuhan Virus Man-Made?

Hardnox at 'Nox & Friends - 11 hours ago
Compelling evidence from a well-researched documentary makes a solid cause that the COVID-19 virus came from a Chinese lab. If so, then what? Draw your own conclusions. Fast-forward to 11:00 Last week I posted the video “Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus“. The evidence that this Wyhan virus is man-made is getting way too big to ignore. I imagine Trump and his team know it too. ~ Hardnox

COVID-19 MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

barovsky at The New Dark Age - 11 hours ago
This is our recommended approach to COVID-19 based on the best (and most recent) available literature including the Shanghai Management Guideline for COVID. We should not re-invent the wheel, but learn from the experience of others around the world. It is important to recognize that COVID-19 does not cause your “typical ARDS”... this disease must be treated differently and it is likely we are exacerbating this situation by causing ventilator induced lung injury.

Nuisance Parameters In Classification Problems: A Simple Example

Tommaso Dorigo at Science 2.0 blogs - 11 hours ago
These days I have been writing a chapter of a book on machine learning for physics, and in so doing I have found myself pondering on how to best explain, in very simple terms, the nocuous effect that model uncertainty may have on the result of a classification task. So I decided to create a toy example with the purpose of introducing the discussion. The example is meant to have two attractive properties: be analytically solvable in closed form - meaning that one may compute with paper and pencil all the relevant results - and be described by simple-to-interpret graphs.

Wildlife artist Robert Fuller filmed a rare white hare in Yorkshire

White Wolf at White Wolf - 12 hours ago
The Easter Bunny is a mythical creature said to have its origins in medieval times when people believed young hares hatched out of lapwing eggs. It’s strange to think that people could have been so confused, but hares have always had a hold on our imagination and legends about them abound. So imagine my excitement when, last spring, I heard rumours of a white hare living in a remote valley on the Yorkshire Wolds. White hares are so rare that sightings of them are steeped in mystery.

White House Pushed FEMA To Give Its Biggest Coronavirus Contract To A Company That Never Had To Bid

The second and less noted prong was to big up the Wikpedia entries of right wing mainstream media figures, removing negative information and adding a positive spin.

Keith at musingsofanoldfart - 14 hours ago
I love quotes, but sometimes the quote has been paraphrased somewhat and it takes a slightly new shape. Quoting religious text is like that as the text has been translated and retranslated many times. In fact, the books of the … Continue reading →

COVID-19 and the Police State

A Political Junkie at Viable Opposition - 14 hours ago
While the rest of Canada is distracted with what is passing for the 2020 Easter weekend, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been busy as shown here: You will notice that I have highlighted the most pertinent section of the press release. I am wondering just how many Canadians could afford to pay a fine of up to $1 million? There's nothing like the punishment not fitting the severity of the crime, is there? While the RCMP claims that they are going to use a measured approach and that arrest will be a last resort, Canadian police forces across the nation have not shown a measu... more »

Virtual Parliament?

Rural at Democracy Under Fire - 15 hours ago
The current situation has brought many questions to mind for us all with the majority connected with our governance in one form or another be it provincial heath departments or national financial supports. Yesterday a small group of federal MPs gathered in Ottawa to pass some necessary measures to support Canadians at this difficult time as many of us, and I presume most MPs, looked on via electronic media of one sort or another. Some discussion has taken place both here and elsewhere as to whether a 'virtual' Parliament can be set up to minimize the direct contact between between n... more »

Despite Lockdowns, Here's Why You Should Still Get the Flu Shot

Lauren Bloomfield at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Lauren Bloomfield* *Public Health, World* Social distancing may help prevent but not stop the spread of the flu. Lockdown measures aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19 should actually help cut the cases of flu this year. That’s because keeping people apart to reduce the spread of coronavirus will also help reduce the spread of flu. That said, you really should receive a flu vaccine anyway. In fact, getting your flu vaccination as soon as you can is a great way to help ease the strain on our health system, which is already expected to struggle to cope with the coronavirus out... more »

*Colin P. Clarke, Hajer Naili* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The coronavirus pandemic is likely to increase Sunni discrimination against Shia, particularly in the Sunni majority or Sunni-dominant countries. The geopolitical impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic is having ripple effects in countries and regions throughout the world. In the already volatile Middle East, the pandemic is further destabilizing countries and exacerbating conflicts and humanitarian suffering, especially among vast refugee populations displaced by civil war and conflict.

The Air Force Is Adding Missions For Its RQ-170 Sentinel Spy Drone

David Axe at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * The drone was captured by Iran in 2011. *Key point: *The steady addition of new missions over the Sentinel’s roughly 15-year existence represents a strong vote of confidence on the part of the Air Force in the stealth drone’s usefulness. The U.S. Air Force in its 2021 budget proposal asked Congress to let the service retire scores of aircraft, including 24 of its 34 high-flying Global Hawk spy drones. Air Force chief of staff Gen. David Goldfein said that new, secret technology would replace the RQ-4s and other planes the service wants to retire. “Most ... more »

*Dan Goure* *Security, Americas* What should be done? The U.S. Navy operates several of the largest IT networks on Earth. In order to better integrate communications between installations in the United States and around the world, it wants to combine those networks into one massive IT enterprise.

On Opening a Locked Economy

Unknown at The Verma Report - 15 hours ago
A government has the power to lockdown the economy; it doesn’t have the power to open it. The businessmen, farmers, investors, professionals, and workers are the movers of the economy—theirs is the power to keep an economy open by participating in voluntary economic activity. When the world governments rescind their lockdown orders, they will discover that the movers of the economy are unwilling to wholeheartedly participate in the marketplace because they have become distrustful, demoralized, and risk-averse. The lockdown may extend far beyond the government mandated period; there ... more »

Don’t wait for a vaccine

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 15 hours ago
I've heard several politicians say we'll have to go very slow to reopen the economy until we have a vaccine. Hogwash. There is no vaccine for AIDS; the vaccine for shingles only works for some; there are promising vaccines in the works for malaria which kills and cripples over a million a year, but nothing completely acceptable (and environmentalists removed the only safe protection, DDT, with no vaccine in sight); thousands of parents follow the advice they see on the internet and won't even accept measles, mumps and polio vaccines. Between the excruciatingly slow and thick gover... more »

*Reflections on esteemed climate scientist, the late Fred Singer* By Joseph Bast Fred Singer passed away last night. He was 95. That this news was long expected makes it no less sad and disheartening. I write this as if through a veil of tears. Fred was such a wonderful person, so kind and wise, witty and considerate of others, that everyone who met him knew they were in the presence of a special person, even when they didn’t know he was a world-renowned scientist and prominent public intellectual. Fred Singer was a giant in the field of climate science. His careers in governmen... more »

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 15 hours ago
It's Easter Sunday. That means a day of rejoicing for Christians, as we celebrate the central event of our faith. How better to do that than with the great choruses, "Worthy is the Lamb" and "Amen", which conclude Handel's oratorio "Messiah"? These performances are from my favorite recording of the piece, by Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with some truly magnificent solo performances by the lead singers. (The entire performance is also available on YouTube.) Amen indeed! Peter
