So, what changed that made what had been bulky systems go from clumsy pipe dreams to hardened, miniaturized, and reliable weapons that will be able to be deployed even in the harshest of conditions? We recently had an in-depth interview with Dr. Rob Afzal, Lockheed Martin Senior Fellow, Laser and Sensor Systems, where I pressed him on everything related to laser weaponry and the emerging military applications that go along with it.

King County Council members are calling out Seattle city leaders for not adequately protecting the downtown county courthouse as the council has found itself in the same predicament as many local businesses who are still reeling from recent protests, vandalism and street crime. “It’s gotten way worse again, unfortunately,” said presiding King County Superior Court Judge Jim Rogers, referring to the number of assaults and crime that have been reported near the courthouse, located at 516 3rd Ave. The Council approved $600,000 in 2019 so the King County Sheriff’s Department could provide added security along the courthouse’s perimeter. But when...

CITGO employees Tomeu Vadell, Gustavo Cardenas, Jorge Toledo, Alirio Jose Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano and Jose Angel Pereira were sentenced to between 8 and 13 years, the source said. The guilty verdicts punctuate a years-long saga that began in November 2017 when the men received a call from the head of Venezuelan oil giant PDVSA summoning them to Caracas for a last-minute budget meeting. When they arrived, armed and masked security agents arrested them on embezzlement charges stemming from a never-executed proposal to refinance some $4 billion in CITGO bonds by offering a 50% stake in the company as collateral....

The surface of the Sun is a turbulent dance of gravity, plasma, and magnetic fields. Much like the weather on Earth, its behavior can seem unpredictable, but there are patterns to be found when you look closely. The first pattern to be observed on the solar surface was that of sunspots. Sunspots were noticed by a few ancient astronomers, but they have been regularly studied since the 1600s. As astronomers counted the number of spots seen each year, they found the Sun goes through active years and quiet years. There is an 11-year cycle of high and low sunspot counts....

I have been posting articles on FR off and on for 22 years, and in that time I have become very good at using HTML to create the type of posts I like.

And not only links, but much of the HTML on my profile page is all screwed up as well. Is there a logical reason for...

Why even the poor are wealthy when compared to the poorest people in places like Bangladesh. Even with...
