Google’s Power To Control Elections Is A Threat To Democracy

*Think Progress*: *Aleppo’s future is bleak as war in Syria set to continue* Syria’s civil war is stretching into its sixth year. Half a million lives have been lost, and more than half the country’s population is currently displaced. And if recent news is any indication, things aren’t getting better any time soon. In an interview with the New York Times in Damascus, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said he expected to stay president until at least the end of his current term in 2021.

I do not know precisely how they all got here but it appears plausible that we can react with so called dark matter at the wavelengths suggested and that our reaction mass is fired out the back. as per expectations. We just cannot detect it as the scale is electron level and the particles are neutral. If that is the case, then this is good news. we can establish simple continuous thrusters for our space craft and this allows the craft to travel continuously at one g thrust offsetrting low gravity sickness.

Former Ontario Amish Farmers Find Paradise on PEI

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
What the Amish operate is a form of natural community. Modernizing the natural community is central to my protocol for ending poverty globally. Some of what they do is unnecessary and some of what they need to do would be highly welcome. Ending poverty and converting global agriculture to organic sustainable systems are all part of a combined solution that ends all environmental abuse in the long term. The Amish are a long way down that road and most importantly they show us what it can actually look like. I am not entirely a fan of horse culture per se but they also preserve it... more »
