Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago
I'm growing more and more concerned about the escalating conflict in Syria, particularly the war of words between the USA and Russia. It seems pretty pointless to me from a US national security perspective. *Precisely what vital national security interest does the USA have in Syria, that would justify the deaths of US servicemen in a conflict there?* No-one has ever answered that question, as far as I know.

Sig Sauer's MCX Rattler: The Deadliest Gun on Planet Earth?

Task and Purpose at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*Task and Purpose* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] We take a look. Hot off its new contract with the U.S. Army, Sig Sauer has unveiled a new compact carbine which the company claims is its most “discreet platform” ever: the MCX Rattler. The Rattler, a compact personal defense weapon built at the request of “elite military units,” is based on the Sig Sauer’s popular line of MCX gas-operated piston AR-15-style rifles. But MCX has the benefit of not needing a buffer tube in the stock like a conventional AR-15, allowing the rifle to host a more compact folding stock. As a re... more »

Why the U.S. Military Loves Sig Sauer Guns

*Task and Purpose* *Security, * The reasons seem simple. Last month, the U.S. Army finally selected its new sidearm: the Sig Sauer P320. The Sig will be adopted as the M17 and replace the aging Beretta M9. However, the P320 isn’t the first Sig pistol to be adopted by the military. In 1992, another, more compact pistol from Sig was adopted as the M11. After the M9 entered the service in the 1980s, the military quickly realized it needed a more compact pistol for vehicle and aircraft crews, general officers, and military police. As a result, the Compact Pistol Program was launched... more »

Marcel Proust’s 960 Word Marathon

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 14 hours ago
Marcel Proust’s 7-volume novel *In Search Of Lost Time* (sometimes translated as *Remembrance of Things Past*) has several sentences of more than 200 words. The long sentences demand extra attention from the reader, but the effort is worth it as you get the chance to appreciate the literary skill with which Proust describes, through a single sentence, the multiple aspects of something. The long sentences can be broken up into 10 or more shorter sentences, but then the beauty of the novel will be lost. In *Swann’s Way* (Volume 1 of *In Search of Lost Time*), the longest sentence of... more »

Our New Encyclopedias Of Astrobiology, Microtonal Music, And Buddhism, Spawned From Wikipedia - Is This The Way Of Its Future?

Robert Walker at Science 2.0 blogs - 14 hours ago
This originated as my answer to a Quora question: "In what general knowledge domains do alternatives to Wikipedia exist that are significantly superior?". So - I think my own new wikis are, for a simple reason. Because they are based on the Wikipedia content but fix errors that can't be fixed there and add new content that can't be added there. It's not hard to improve in topic areas where it has many errors, significant topics are ignored, and it's out of date. Sadly, that is happening in many areas of the vast encyclopedia, though much of it is still excellent. read more
