As demand for water increases and the supply remains limited, marijuana cultivators might need to change the way they think about and measure their use of this precious resource, according to a new report compiled by three organizations. Early efforts quantified facility water use by focusing on gallons per plant. But that model doesn’t take […] Marijuana cultivators should rethink how they measure water use, new report says is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs
View from inside the gut of the empire
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 13 hours ago
- I'm reading a fascinating book about two Americans who moved to China during Mao's rise to power following WW II. A woman named Joan Hinton (who was a nuclear physicist and worked on the Manhattan Project) and her dairy farming husband Sid Engst. She was offered a teaching job in China but turned it down and worked on a dairy farm with her husband near the Mongolian border. While pregnant Joan was attending Lamaze classes in Beijing. (Lamaze was created by the former Soviet Union.) Fascinating read. The book is called 'Silage Choppers & Snake Spirit...
SR-71 Blackbird: The Fastest Plane on Earth Was Super Expensive
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * High performance often comes at high cost. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* It took an army of people just to prepare the aircraft. Twenty years after its final retirement, the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane still is the fastest and highest-flying aircraft ever. In 36 years of service with the CIA, the U.S. Air Force and NASA, the 50 SR-71s and A-12, FY-12 and M-21 variants flew missions over the Middle East, Vietnam and North Korea and supported important research. "It still looks like something from the future, even though it was designed back in the 19...
There's a Reason China's Military Drones Come So Cheap
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* But the Chinese drones seem to be going out of style. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Everyone wants drones these days, but sometimes it is worth buying American. That's what some countries are finding out the hard way. China’s CH-4 killer drone appears to be falling out of favor with some of its major operators. *This first appeared in August 2019 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* The Iraqi air force is down to just one operational CH-4 out of a fleet of around 10, according to an August 2019 report from the U.S. inspector-general...
Slaughter? What If Hitler Used Chemical Weapons on D-Day?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* It could have turned out differently. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Even if D-Day had failed, the war would have continued. Despite Hitler's hopes that defeating D-Day would persuade the Allies to seek peace, the Soviet armies would have continued to march on Germany, and the Allies would have eventually mounted another invasion. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's face was grim but composed as he read a short message to the assembled group of reporters on the morning of June 7, 1944. *"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gai...
Deathmatch: How Do China's Fighter Jets Compare to the U.S. Air Force?
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* The Chinese air force is developing a two-tier fighter fleet. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Despite China's rapid improvement of its fighter force, it's still smaller and less modern than is that of its main rival. While observers focus their attention on China's new J-20 stealth fighter, the Chinese air force steadily is improving and building more copies of an only slightly less sophisticated fighter: the J-10. Much like the U.S. Air Force with its mix of stealthy and non-stealthy fighters, the Chinese air force is developing a two-tier fighter f...
How the U.S. Navy Moves Killer M1 Abrams Tanks to War
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Navy, * [image: M1 Abrams Tank] And those capabilities will now be enhanced thanks to new investments in new Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) vessels Moving 70-ton Abrams tanks across the ocean at 35knots, transporting 600 tons of cargo 1,200 nautical miles, and delivering Special Operations Forces from a “sea-basing” tactical vantage point are all missions now being performed by the Navy’s growing fleet of Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) vessels. While officially termed “non-combatant” ships, EPF ships are not themselves armed with weapons but instead b...
Pearl Harbor, 2021: Could China Hit the US in a Surprise Attack?
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * Forward-deployed U.S. forces in Japan and Guam would be a key target. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: It would be risky, but U.S. forces are more vulnerable than you think. The U.S. military must find ways of defeating any attempt by China to launch surprise strikes using non-nuclear weapons, analyst Sam Goldsmith argued in a new article for *Naval War College Review*. “China likely would aim to confine itself to the use of conventional weapons during any potential high-intensity conflict with the United States—particularly given that China already p...

What Can the U.S. Air Force Learn from the Failure of the YF-23?
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *History, Americas* Buying F-23s instead of F-22s wouldn’t have changed the recent arc of U.S. history. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The YF-22 and YF-23 were very different airplanes, each with its own design trade-offs and approaches to achieving the fast-far-stealthy requirement. The mystique that today surrounds Northrop Grumman’s YF-23 *isn’t entirely healthy*. It reflects a tendency in many Americans to look for technological solutions to human problems. Buying F-23s instead of F-22s wouldn’t have changed the recent arc of U.S. history. It wouldn’t have stop...
The Army Is Eager to Get Its Hands On These 5 Weapons
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * We are witnessing a gradual disappearance of Cold War weaponry. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Army plans to mount directed energy weapons -- lasers -- on the Stryker, which can engage targets more quickly than missiles, and don't run out of ammunition (except for electricity). The U.S. Army already fields an impressive array of weapons. But as the U.S. Army prepares itself for potential conflicts against high-tech Russian and Chinese armies, the Army is working on a slew of new systems ranging from tanks to missiles. The result will be the g...
A Japan-China Naval War: Joe Biden's Nightmare?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Until recently a naval war between Japan and China was not a serious proposition. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Increasingly, China has the ability to take on the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Adding more aircraft carriers, more cruise missile submarines, or better training—all easily achievable conditions—could shift what is now a precarious balance decisively to the Chinese side. Until recently a naval war between Japan and China was not a serious proposition. As recently as the 1980s, China was a “green water” navy barely capable o...

By Rafael Osío Cabrices RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - (Opinion) The Brookings Institute, a U.S. think tank, has been following Venezuela for many years, and has been claiming since 2020 that Venezuela's refugee crisis is severely underfunded.
