"A Look to the Heavens"
"The constellation of Orion is much more than three stars in a row. It is a direction in space that is rich with impressive nebulas. To better appreciate this well-known swath of sky, an extremely long exposure was taken over many clear nights in 2013 and 2014. After 212 hours of camera time and an additional year of processing, the featured 1400-exposure collage spanning over 40 times the angular diameter of the Moon emerged. *Click image for larger size.* Of the many interesting details that have become visible, one that particularly draws the eye is Barnard's Loop, the bright red c... more »
Chet Raymo, “Why Cranes Fly”
*“Why Cranes Fly”* by Chet Raymo "There were a few Comments here recently about herons, from right around the world. What is the power of this bird to touch our minds and hearts? The naturalist Aldo Leopold was intimately familiar with the cranes of Wisconsin, cousins of our New England great blue heron, the Irish gray heron, and Adam2's aosagi from Japan, and wondered about their ability to move us so deeply. In A Sand County Almanac he watches as a crane "springs his ungainly hulk into the air and flails the morning sun with mighty wings." Our ability to perceive beauty in nature... more »

AEI: Previewing New Reformy Rhetoric
Over at AEI, Robert C. Enlow and Jason Bedrick have some thoughts for new, improved rhetoric for pushing school choice. It's worth a look to see where the argument is headed in the year ahead. Enlow is the president/CEO of EdChoice (formerly the Milton Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice). Bedrow is the director of policy at EdChoice, as well as a scholar the Cato Institute. Given their background and affiliation, there is no surprise with their kick-off premise, which is that conservatives should still keep choice at the heart of their education agenda.

As Pacific Rim tensions rise, the U.S. and Australia may have struck a commercial deal at Subic Bay, Philippines
Despite the problems of the unsigned agreement between the Philippines and the U.S., the Australians and U.S. commercial interests have managed to once again keep both countries at a strategic location. As they say, money talks. For government of the Philippines, that is a very important consideration along with an equally important one — the China territorial disputes. On average, 80 to 100 US ships visit Subic every year. The return of ship repair facilities will increase traffic at the former US naval base.

America Desperately Needs a Second Opinion
[image: undefined] Doctors are human and subject to human mistakes. Even doctors with exceptional “expert” credentials are still human and like all humans fallible. That’s why patients often seek a second or even third opinion from other expert physicians BEFORE implementing a treatment program. That’s especially true if said treatment is potentially life threatening or subject to severe side effects that may be as deadly as the illness itself. The Mayo Clinic published a study three years ago with the headline, “Three Reasons Why Getting a Second Opinion is Worth it.” It said in p... more »
Herd Immunity Deniers Can't Bear Sweden's Truth
Across the United States authoritarians are clamoring for a return to lockdown over what they claim is a resurgence of coronavirus infections. Despite the data not supporting that conclusion, they want to shut the economy down and further destroy life in the US. They point to Europe's success with lockdowns - even as there appears to be a resurgence of cases in Europe. What is most shocking and striking is that no one in authority in the US is calling for us to emulate the one country that appears to have beat the virus thus far: Sweden. Why can't they even utter the word "Sweden"? ... more »

The Futurist Quest To Cure Aging, And Why It May Never Work
As time passes, our fertility declines and our bodies start to fail. These natural changes are what we call ageing. In recent decades, we’ve come leaps and bounds in treating and preventing some of the world’s leading age-related diseases, such as coronary heart disease, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. But some research takes an entirely unique view on the role of science in easing the burden of aging, focusing instead on trying to prevent it, or drastically slow it down. This may seem like an idea reserved mainly for cranks and science fiction writers, but it’s not. read more

Conservatives and the mythical third way
In recent years, an increasing number of conservatives have become disenchanted with “neoliberal” economic policies, which are seen as leading to unbalanced trade, de-industrialization and even the breakdown of the family. At the same time, they are not willing to accept the big government progressivism of left wing figures like Bernie Sanders. Instead, they seek […] The post Conservatives and the mythical third way appeared first on Econlib.
So parents, are teachers you know worried about the fall semester like the ones below…
…No wonder children are so ill prepared. . Get ready to see red and to prepare your children accordingly. These people are an EMBARRASSMENT to me and to all dedicated educators who have taught through the many years. Where we poured ourselves into teaching students how to learn and think for themselves while preparing them for the future — these excuses for teachers appear to believe it is their goal in life not to teach subjects important to the child’s real future like the three R’s and business but rather Socialism, Racism, and Gender Indoctrination — NOW YOU KNOW WHY … Continue ... more »

Donald J. Trump beats Leonhardt on points!
*TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2020The near-total absence of skill:* In fairness, it's important to note a basic point. At this point, information and facts barely matter at all. Basically, everyone believes their own tribe's StoryLines. There's very little real attempt to figure out what's true. That said, Donald Trump authored a very sad moment during yesterday's press event. First, Trump shot a man on the White House lawn just to see him die. After he returned to the press room, he launched one of his standard rambling monologues about how amazingly well we're doing with the coronaviru... more »

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Health, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2T9I91WBMS&share=true] Why are so many Americans skeptical? Even as the United States continues to witness a surging number of deaths due to the novel coronavirus, a recent Gallup poll revealed that 35% of Americans would still refuse to roll up their sleeves for a free coronavirus vaccine that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A closer examination of the data showed that those who would refuse the vaccine are more likely to be Republican. M... more »
Nine Theses on U.S.-China Relations
*Robert D.

My core views on U.S.-China relations can epigrammatically be summarized in nine single sentences: 1. China seeks to replace the United States as the most important and influential nation in the Indo-Pacific region and to dominate that region. 2. China’s... more »

It's time, and past time, to form local groups for mutual assistance and security
I've said on several occasions in the past that we should get together with like-minded individuals and families, to help each other through economic and social hard times such as we're presently experiencing. I suggest that's now become a *need* rather than a *nice-to-have*. Things are deteriorating to the point that, as Benjamin Franklin said: *We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.* Brandon Smith tells of how he tried to expand his small group of like-minded individuals, and the reaction against his efforts from local leftists. ... more »

The Coronavirus Pandemic Poses the Latest Challenge to Free Speech
*Bret Swanson* *Politics, Americas* Open discourse itself is under assault. One promise of the internet was to lower barriers. It would obliterate the distance limitations of geography and the gatekeeping functions of big media, big business, big academia, and big government. At first, it did this through email, blogs, and message boards. More recently, it has done so through Twitter, YouTube, and podcasts. The spectacular success of these barrier-busting technologies is, however, inviting a furious backlash. Open discourse itself is under assault. Consider the case of M. Gabrie... more »
