Today In The News.

The military cannot go to war all on their own, and if a large scale attack occurs with any success, you bet they will be dying to do so.

Another interesting link. No wonder you give some thought to 'anarchists at the gate'.

I'm wondering if participation in such a program would be of benefit, or whether it would make one more likely to draw attack, for one such as myself who resides in a 'sleeper' country such as Canada.

Does one go 'all in', or play their cards close to their vest on this one. I forwarded that link to hubby for his review and remarks, as he is more technically astute than I on matters of inter-net security.

Don't feel too safe just because you are in a sleeper country. When picking fruit the bear takes those closet to the ground first, then they go up the tree .

Not exactly 'today in the news', but it shows historical information from around the world regarding trends in health and some correlations with wealth:

Surely you are unable to believe any of this tiny wave function?

Nice observation, Austin. Most anything can be true in the right context. The context is the wavefunction. So it depends upon the context.

This is amazing. Can I get a ... "what would ya-know, all those movies were right," ?

You know, if I had come across this, as a memeber of the Army my training will tell me immediately to dawn my protective gear and start some tests. Two mass die offs, strikes a piculiarity or two. This is one place, I wouldn't advise to eat locally, till I knew any better.


P.S.

Sumone thinks the world intelligence agents should get right on this, but perhaps, this is already ... the case.

Researchers realized about five years ago that the area below and around Uturuncu is steadily rising — blowing up like a giant balloon under a wide disc of land some 43 miles (70 kilometers) across. Satellite data revealed the region was inflating by 1 to 2 centimeters (less than an inch) per year and had been doing so for at least 20 years, when satellite observations began.

Uturuncu is surrounded by one of the most dense concentrations of supervolcanoes on the planet, all of which fell silent some 1 million years ago. Supervolcanoes get their name because they erupt with such power that they typically spew out 1,000 times more material, in sheer volume, than a volcano like Mount St. Helens. Modern human civilization has never witnessed such an event. The planet's most recent supervolcanic eruption happened about 74,000 years ago in Indonesia.

hmmm 43 miles you say .... super ...

You know, maybe those mayans were onto something.
