Sunday morning musicThe *divertimento* is traditionally understood as "a musical genre, with most of its examples from the 18th century. The mood of the divertimento is most often lighthearted (as a result of being played at social functions) and it is generally composed for a small ensemble.

After 1780, the term generally designated works that were informal or light." Mozart excelled at divertimenti... read more

New Climate Prediction: Likely To Reach 1.5C In The Next Five YearsGeneva - There is about a 40% chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level in at least one of the next five years – and these odds are increasing with time, according to a new climate update issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). There is a 90% likelihood of at least one year between 2021-2025 becoming the warmest on record, which would dislodge 2016 from the top ranking, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced by the United Kingdom’s Met Office, the WMO lead centre for such pre... read more

What Keeps Joe Biden Up At Night: A U.S. Invasion of North Korea*Kyle Mizokami* *Korean Security, Asia* Worth risking millions of lives? In the past, the Pentagon has told Congressional lawmakers that the only way to locate and secure North Korea’s nuclear weapons “with complete certainty” is through a ground invasion. That’s a blow to those that thought the issue could be dealt with via special forces or a surgical strike. An invasion of the country would be a major strategic commitment by the United States, South Korea and its allies. But what would an invasion of the country actually look like? North Korea is just slightly larger than Ohi... read more

The Paris Commune: Marx, Mao, TomorrowIn 1871, Karl Marx proposed an account of the Paris Commune that is wholly inscribed in the question of the state. For him, it comprises the first historical case in which the proletariat assumes its transitory function of the direction, or administration, of the entire society. From the Commune’s initiatives and impasses, he is led to the conclusion that the state machine must not be “taken” or “occupied,” but broken. read more
