Recent research led by the University of Maryland using the Zwicky Transient Facility telescope has revealed that the Taurid swarm, a stream of space debris from the comet Encke, poses less of a threat than previously believed. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ======================================================================== New research indicates that the Taurid swarm contains fewer large asteroids than anticipated, suggesting a lower threat level. This finding from observations using the Zwicky Transient Facility telescope informs both planetary defense strategies and our understanding of how comets and asteroids evolve. Discovering the Taurid Swarm’s Secrets Astronomers have promising news about potentially hazardous asteroids near Earth: there aren’t as...

To combat tungsten sputtering in tokamaks, researchers have developed a method using boron powder to protect the plasma, demonstrated effectively in global experiments and supported by new computer modeling. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ============================================================================ Tungsten, the preferred material for tokamak fusion reactors, poses challenges due to sputtering that cools plasma, making fusion hard to sustain. Researchers at PPPL suggest that sprinkling boron powder into tokamaks could prevent this by shielding walls and preventing tungsten entry into the plasma. Recent experiments across global tokamaks and a new computer model support the potential of boron powder in maintaining optimal plasma conditions for fusion. Tungsten...

...“Up the road apiece " as the locals would say, lies another quaint coastal village called Damariscotta. It too is a pretty coastal town that lures tourists from all over with fine restaurants and gift shops. It is a wealthy area of the state and for the most part is very blue politically. You see more Harris signs than Trump signs, even though the number of Trump signs has grown quite a bit. Most of the Democrats that live in the center of these towns probably feel quite safe from the Trump deplorables that might live in the outskirts of...

The first votes are in! New Hampshire has a law permitting municipalities of one hundred residents or less to open their polls at midnight and close them as soon as every eligible elector has cast his vote. In recent cycles, three townships have availed themselves of the opportunitiy: Dixville, Hart's Location and Millsfield. This year, only Dixville chose to maintain the tradition, which is a pity - because Hart's and Millsfield are real-ish towns, whereas Dixville Notch is a closed-down grand hotel masquerading as a town. Still, rural New Hampshire communities of under one hundred citizens are among the few...

In 1968, author Shelby Steele was working in East St. Louis, as a “proud warrior” in President Johnson’s War on Poverty. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and Johnson’s Great Society unleashed a wave of optimism for black Americans that justice was coming. “The government that oppressed us only yesterday would now engineer our uplift” Steele said, but it didn’t take him long to discover the hard truth. “Black development was not the focus of justice. Taking advantage of White Guilt was the focus.” Steele, who had studied race his entire life, would write about “White Guilt” over the next five...

“Fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Living life apart from God is futile. The Book of Ecclesiastes is greatly misunderstood. It is a difficult book to read simply because it is hard to understand. Everything in it appears wrong and as if it doesn’t fit with the rest of Scripture. But it is part of the Old Testament wisdom literature because it is a statement of human wisdom. Ecclesiastes tells us how man perceives his world, God, and the realities of life. Most scholars believe Ecclesiastes was penned by Solomon. They debate whether he wrote it before he...

The website, Dictionary.com defines kakistocracy as “a government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.” Other sources concur, describing it as leadership by the least competent and most unscrupulous. It’s a head-scratcher, really—how do these individuals manage to fail their way upward and claim the most powerful seats in government? If you’ve been keeping up with current events, it’s hard not to conclude that the United States is stumbling into a kakistocracy. Case in point is a president, an “elderly man with a poor memory,” whose cognitive issues and frail health...
