INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Minsk, Belarus. So-called Decree No.3, or the "parasite tax", has caused Belarusians take to the streets. According to this decree, every Belarusian, who has been unemployed for more than three months, must pay a tax; even some pensioners. The fee stands at 360 rubles (about $170).
One of the man arrested was 80 years old Ian Gryb.
Riot policemen jumped on him and did not so much walk as they carried him. He was put into the armored vehicle along with the number of women, men, even one journalist. They took them from Yakub Kolas Square to the Philharmonic and stopped. There they began to transfer them to a different vehicle. The commotion ensured, people began to get out of the vehicle. One man, young and fast, jumped out and ran and the riot police ran after him. Taking advantage of the moment, Ian slipped out, walked deliberately slowly, even more slowly than usual, so that other policemen would not mind him and they did not.
Altogether, more than one thousand people were arrested.

This lady gave a very convincing talk about the non-existence of the wage gap between men and women.
"For the record? The "wage gap" is simply badly-read statistics. One cannot take (for one example of how twisted it is) total wages earned by men and women and divide them. That fails to consider (at the very least) the total hours worked by each group. Include that critical fact and the alleged "wage gap" practically vanishes. Plenty of other natural factors easily account for the rest.
Imagine if the wage gap were real? It would mean an international secret cartel of men (and only men) have been oppressing women for decades now and somehow ignoring all market forces in keeping their wages artificially lower than male wages.... why on Earth would they do that?"
Don't discount her argument until you listen to it:

FOOD AND FOOD RELATED ITEMS
I do not want the government dictating what I eat, but I don't care about you getting directions. What I mean is, food stamps should be more like the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program whereby you can only buy good that is healthy for you. We already exclude tobacco and alcohol from food stamps, how hard could it be to exclude sodas and crap snacks? Remember the study that found 40% of free food stamp food is bullshit.

South Carolina | Oyster Roast
Cooking oysters over an open fire while drinking a beer is a birthright of all South Carolinian.
You should always drape a water soaked burlap bag over those oysters. Trust me.
Not to be confused with the Montana Rocky Mountain Oysters, which ain't even the same species.
I sampled said oysters and did not find them to my liking. But the point is, I did give them a try.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
This skull belongs to 'Altamura man', a 180-130,000 year old Neanderthal skeleton found in the Lamalunga Cave, Italy.
Not long after falling into a sinkhole & dying while exploring the cave, the soft parts of the Neanderthals body decayed. The remaining skeleton was gradually covered in calcite precipitated from the saturated waters percolating through the rock from the rainy waters above.

The Compression Lift Principle - XB-70 Valkyrie
Compression Lift refers to an aircraft that uses shock waves generated by its own supersonic flight to produce lift. The drooping wingtips of the XB-70 Valkyrie allowed it to "capture" part of the shockwave to reduce its induced drag by 30%. This allowed the aircraft to exceed Mach 3 or over 2000 MPH.

What kind of witchery is this?
In the initial position the rod is on two rolls rotating in opposite directions. Due to the initial position and uneven surfaces ideality frictional force (adhesion) with one of the rollers being larger, with the rod entrained between them, it will begin translational motion along its axis. As it moves toward the second shaft the rod is under the action of its gravity, exerting greater pressure so that at some point in time will lose adhesion to the first shaft, and therefore begins to move in the opposite direction under the action of a second shaft.

"In 2009, the Library of Congress commissioned a research report into the degradation ofCD-ROMs in storage as a way of assessing the integrity of the media in its collection: the news isn't pretty. Your old CD-ROMs are probably rotting."
I asked my computer guru PhD son-in-law about that very thing. I wondered if a external hard-drive, thumb drive or CD would be best to store copies of my book. He told me the good old fashioned hard copy stored in a dry place; reminding me of the existing Gutenberg Bibles for example.

I agree on the wage gap article. Though, if the wage gap were true why wouldn't companies hire all women?? They would cut costs by up to 25%.
When my son was little and it was just the two of us, I worked full time and qualified for food stamps. I don't like the idea that someone else would get to tell me that my baby never got any special treats because the government had decided he didn't deserve to eat snack food, that it is reserved for people with money. A lot of the recipients of food stamps are single mothers with children,and I'm not good with taking cookies from poor kids. And as far as food stamp food being free, I worked for over 20 years paying taxes before I needed help. I paid for 20 years to finally reap the great benefit of $120-$150 a month to feed myself and my son. And then other people want to judge my grocery choices? There has to be some small joy somewhere.
Dearest Ninja,
Do you actually believe that I want deny children cookies? How about oatmeal/raisin or something else healthy?
What I do see is grotesquely obese women and children on food stamps. I can only assume they are eating the wrong kinds of food. This adds to their medical problems which I can only assume is also paid for by me and you.
I think you're drawing a rather sweeping conclusion from limited experience. There are plenty of obese people who aren't on food stamps, too. There are so many hoops to jump through to get the benefits you need, I don't think we need more regulation there. And no, I don't imagine you'd want to take cookies from kids, and I've seen obese parents making poor food choices for their children, too, but I don't think the government needs to be all up in our grocery carts.
