http://motherboard.vice.com/read/low-and-slow http://www.builtforthemission.com/jax/bftm.nsf?Open On December 5, 2001, an American B-52 flying tens of thousands of feet above the ground mistakenly dropped a 2,000-pound satellite-guided bomb on an Army Special Forces team in Afghanistan. The aircrew had been fed the wrong coordinates, but had the plane been flying as low and slow as older generations of attack planes did, the crew might’ve realized their error simply by looking down at the ground. It was not long after the Twin Towers fell, and American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan by an American bomb dropped by an American plane. That this mistake happened illustrates just how poorly the air campaign in the United States’ longest war was executed, and how efforts ultimately failed to make things better by going after high-tech solutions that aren’t what they’re cracked up to be compared to the old tried and true technology. That bomber was on a 30-plus ho...

http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/russias-1-blogger-explains-how-us-plans-destroy-world/ri9531 Yurasumy is a hugely popular poltiical blogger in Russia, by some counts the most popular.  He has a huge following. This article  originally appeared  at  Fort Russ “The US opens new fronts of Confrontation” Only the lazy aren’t describing the events which are now happening at the world’s “lottery sites.” Given that these events were skillfully prepared and have far-reaching consequences, I can’t stand aside. But I won’t describe them at all from a “usual perspective,” but rather through the prism of the global confrontation between the US and the alliance of China and Russia. On Monday, the whole world was following events on stock markets. The baton for the next collapse of the Chinese stock market was picked up by Asian, European, and then American “sweepstakes.” It wouldn’t be worth talking about it if not for a strong feel...

Part 1: http://themindunleashed.org/2015/07/25-signs-that-the-global-elites-ship-is-about-to-sink.html   Make no mistake about it. The tide has turned on the global elite and there will be no going back. A new day is rising for humanity as those who have planned for complete control are now being exposed, cornered and investigated from many different angles. There is no need to buy into the fear-based propaganda the major media and even several alternative media outlets dispense. Very good things are happening and even better things are coming. Let’s take a look at some of the major stories that have occurred in the last 8 weeks alone. Piecing the puzzle together, we see that the jig is up and the events surrounding it are growing in size and speed. 1. 57 Nations approved as founding members of the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Notable countries who signed on June 29th, 2015 include Russia, India, Iran, Switzerland, Germany, France, Saudi Arabi...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/technology/a-sharing-economy-where-teachers-win.html What kind of tunes do you think Iago, the villain in William Shakespeare’s “Othello,” would listen to if he had an iPhone? That is the kind of question that Laura Randazzo, an exuberant English teacher, often dreams up to challenge her students at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton, Calif. So, when Ms. Randazzo heard about TeachersPayTeachers.com, a virtual marketplace where educators can buy and sell lesson plans, she was curious to find out whether the materials she had created for her own students would appeal to other educators. A couple of years ago, she started posting items, priced at around $1, on the site. Her “Whose Cell Phone Is This?” fictional character work sheet has now sold more than 4,000 copies. “For a buck, a teacher has a really good tool that she can use with any work of literature,” Ms. Randazzo said in a phone interview last week. “Kids love it becaus...

sumber: https://www.facebook.com/jfgariepyneuro/posts/466442776860755 This week, I resigned from my position at Duke University with no intent to solicit employment in state-funded academic research positions in the foreseeable future. Many reasons have motivated this choice, starting with personal ones: I will soon be a father and want to be spending time with my son at home. Other reasons have to do with research academia itself. Throughout the years, I have been discovering more and more of the inner workings of academia and how modern scientific research is done and I have acquired a certain degree of discouragement in face of what appears to be an abandonment by my research community of the search for knowledge. I found scientists to be more preoccupied by their own survival in a very competitive research environment than by the development of a true understanding of the world. By creating a highly-competitive environment that relies on the selection of research...
