Conglomeration of wonders

Nuclear deterrence is not entirely binary i.e. peace or global devastation. There is a middle option of a demonstrative nuclear strike using a tactical weapon, targeted say offshore to avoid killing people. This could well prevent all-out nuclear war starting, but demonstrates a willingness to use nukes. God help us that we never get to that stage, and with strong deterrence we never will “THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF DETERRENCE!”
The moment you get weak & wobbly, that is when you think you are being peaceful, but you are actually creating the risks & circumstances in which war is more likely.
A very strong & unequivocal defense strategy for the whole of NATO (led by the US, thank God we've had the US to protect us for 65 years, we owe the US a debt of gratitude that goes beyond words, as does all of Europe) is the way to secure lasting peace.

The moment we let our guard down, then we make war more likely, not less likely.
Peace depends on a strong foreign policy by the West, not weakness.

A majority of CO2 in fact does not come from human activity. Fact In the whole span of human existence we have not even come close to releasing the amount of CO2 that nature has in a much shorter time spanned. CO2 is as natural as oxygen is; it is part of the natural cycle of oxygen and CO2 exchange between plants and animals. I'm not saying that there is or isn't an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. I'm saying that human activity has minimal effect on the overall CO2 in the atmosphere over time, including during the industrial revolution. And unless we can stop everyone from breathing, put a cap on all of the oceans, prevent all forest fires and volcanic activity from happening, among other things, anything we attempt to do to reduce CO2 will have minimal effect on the overall amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

To the best of my knowledge the only times the United States has had to defend “it’s self” (sic) – that is defend its own territory from an invader, in fully 240 years of US history, is 69 years ago when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I’d be happy to be corrected but, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only time US soil has been attacked by an aggressing invader (Mexico-US war doesn’t count because the US was the invader nor does the War of Independence, which happened before the US was a country and should be classified as a colonial power attempting to subjugate colonies in revolt, or defending those colonies not in revolt. Which I’m not suggesting is a good thing). There have been a few times US ships were attacked unprovoked and, although this was piracy 200 years ago, the US went to war over it with the Barbary Coast so that could be considered ‘self defense’ – but not of territory, of ships. Terrorist attacks, prior to 9/11, were never classified as attacks by one sovereign state on another (except by Israel – although until recently those terrorist groups were not in Government) By no means is the USA all bad nor were all invasions led by the US – Kosovo stands out as a decent reason - but we must not let rhetoric paint over the truth. Of approximately 170 foreign military excursions I am aware of in 240 years of US history, averaging one about every 18 months for 240 years, ‘self defense’ has been virtually unnecessary, pursuit of strategic or ideological goals via military conquest has been quite prominent and periodically there has been legitimate 'defense of another'. The latter two are what the US has used guns for, not self defense

The current generations have been influenced in their thinking about space travel by science fictions such as Star Trek, Star Gate, Star Wars, and UFOs. However, besides the limitations of physics, distance, time, and environmental limitations such as extreme temperatures, lack of oxygen, time of travel, storage space for food, and random space debris such as meteors, asteroids, and comets, there are the practical limitations of the laws of economics. The cost of extensive space travel by humans is probably not economically feasible. That is why unmanned space exploration is currently used. Large scale human operations on the Moon or other bodies in our solar system are to all intents and purposes economically unfeasible. Satellites, unmanned exploration vehicles with robotic devices, and unmanned rocket ships are the only economical means to explore bodies in space.

At last the European country reopens the airspace. Well British Airway, Lufthansa and the other airlines must be receiving very well selected information.
Two Finnish Jets flying, unwittingly, through the ash yesterday had damaged engines from the ash content! Consequently Finland has enforced a further stop on flights.
Where did British Airway and the others conduct their tests?
While I feel for passengers, crew and even a bit for the airline companies, something is very wrong here and one can only suspect profit before safety. I hear that conditions have worsened over Britain

Those people whose aim is always low generally hit what they shoot at – nothing. Life need not be lived that way. I believe that one of the most powerful forces in the world is the will of the man who believes in himself, who dare to aim high and confidently goes after the things he wants from life… I can! It is powerful sentence… the gap between what a man thinks he can achieve and what is actually possible to him is very, very small. But first he must believe that he can.

“I CAN, I WILL”

I beg to differ with the phrase 'hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded'. There were 18, 600 flights cancelled alone yesterday. Assuming each aircraft had only 100 passengers that would be 1.8 million and most narrow body aircraft have typically 150 or more seats and wide body aircraft up to 3 times that. If we then factor in this is the third day of cancelled flights I would put a reasonable estimate of around 5 million passengers stranded. The math doesn’t add up with what's reported. The impact or consequence of delays is going to cost 1$Billions. Who is going to pay for his hotel bill for instance, the client? Lost productivity? Airlines already almost insolvent are going to have to pay wages, operating overheads and pay passenger compensation; it’s not looking good economically and could cause Europe to revert into recession if we don't get flying soon.

The Volcano ash problem looks pretty bad. As an aerospace expert I say we should thank the Russian airline which showed it can be done. It has done us a favor and demonstrated that it is SAFE to fly underneath the cloud of volcanic ash. However it means a lot more fuel has to use because of the higher air resistance at low levels. If the volcano keep spewing out ash like now for months there is no choice but to fly below the cloud of ash. Qantas please take note and put up a big fuel surcharge for flights to Europe!! You may even have to make new stopovers to top the extra fuel needed.

So, reading the Guardian sports pages for the past three days, it makes you wonder if all their sportswriters are getting payoffs from one of the big bookies - because they had practically placed the trophy in Murray's hands already, when anyone with half a brain knows that Federer in a slam final against a relatively inexperienced youngster, is always going to be the overwhelming favorite. I admire Federer's genius, but his mouth seems to have got the better of him lately - he seems to love the psychological aspects, pre-match. Is tennis now the new boxing?
And to the poster who said that Murray didn't beat Nadal - talk about trying to take the shine off Murray's tournament. He outfought and out thought Nadal. If Nadal really thought he might have a chance, he would have carried on, but you carry on believing that he was about to pull off a Tennis Houdini act, the rest of us will give Murray the credit for a valiant effort.

Zimbabwe’s opposition leader Morgan tsvangirai is set to become prime minister, joining President Robert Mugabe in a unity government after decades of struggle to push him from power.
“Tsvangiral’s swearing in symbolizes a new era for the people of Zimbabwe, said Daniel making, a political analyst at the university of South Africa. More than half of the people need emergency food aid. Unemployment is at 94 percentages, only 20 percentages of children go to school because teachers haven’t been paid and exam not graded.
