Dark Matter Impacts Whirling Cooling Device

Putin may or may not be a master of Seventh Dimensional Chess but right now he's just having fun playing 52 Pick-Up.

Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign

And once again the US is losing. Help both sides, de-legitimize the eventual winner, let the losers have a permanent temper tantrum - it worked once for Putin, it will work twice. 

My secret hope is that the US has a counter plan which involves Putin laughing so hard he has a stroke and keels over.

I also query the conclusion of the US intel services that Putin would prefer to see Trump win. A Sanders (or Warren) fracking ban would be a boon to the value of Russian oil.

Put up links at end of last thread to a rather extraordinary statement from the obtuse sussexes that the queen does not own the word royalty around the world.

The much-longer statement included the reference to the treatment of other royals, the fact that Harry is still sixth in line for the throne and that they are still entitled to public protection.

They said they 'require effective security to protect them and their son' amid controversy surrounding the estimated £3million - £6million protection bill that would be split between taxpayers in Canada and the UK.

Many sections of the later statement released on their website appear hostile in tone, especially when compared to the earlier statement which was released through a spokesman for the couple.

Many royal experts believe the episode is another PR disaster for the couple.

This Snapshot Analysis is provided for you to see the latest (and ongoing) behaviours of Meghan Markle, through the lens of narcissism so you are able to translate the behaviours and see what is REALLY going on.

This series is also designed to enable you to apply what you see her to dynamics you have experienced, either with romantic, familial, work and/or social interactions with individuals who you may now realise is a narcissist (for help in determining this, use this Narc Detector ). It is also a series that YOU can use to show to someone else who you may suspect is ensnared with a narcissist but who has not been able to see it. Since these various updates and analyses have been provided, many people have contacted me to explain they have now realised that they were ensnared by a narcissist and the articles gave them clarity.

The subject is a Mid Range Narcissist, this means she does not know what she is, does not see anything wrong with what she does, operates purely by instinct and will not change (see Is it Planning? to understand more and search “Mid Range” in the search bar above to increase your understanding.

Thanks jimmyk. I know you put in the hours as chair. Probably some waking you from sleep.
Anne Marie Slaughter (yes, THAT AMS) and I had a back and forth for some time, when she had her "epiphany" as a 50 something that the "you CAN do it all" she was telling her female students may well have been a pile of BS, and wrote her article for The Atlantic sharing the "big news."

I was ASTOUNDED that she had been able to live that long as a full-time anything and not learn it til then--but I quickly realized that despite those evening hours she and jimmy k put in, her "work" time was almost COMPLETELY under her control. She didn't need an entire hospital to be there to do her job. She could grade papers, maybe even write a grant, with a legal pad, pen and her kiddo in the tub.

Now, with it shrunk to half the size and shrinking further and with a far less aggressive stance around the world they see a Russian under every bed. And yet when Barry was in power they could scarcely have been more obsequious to Putin.
There are simply no virtues in leftism. None.

[JM Hanes]

Ignatz:

In re your post about the astronomical amounts of concrete being used in China, here is a big piece of that puzzle: The North-South Water Diversion Project, which is like the Roman aqueduct system on steroids, and has been underway since at least 2014:

The project has roots in an offhand comment by Mao Zedong who, on an inspection tour in the early 1950s, said: “The south has plenty of water, but the north is dry. If we could borrow some, that would be good.” The project has three sections: a 1,150km eastern line, which runs from the lower Yangtze River to Tianjin; the middle line, from Danjiangkou to Beijing; and a western line, which could some day link the headwaters of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers across the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The eastern line began delivering water to coastal Shandong province last winter. The western line remains largely conceptual, so grand in scale that it may ultimately prove impossible to build.

When the system of canals and tunnels is said to be the "biggest engineering project of all time," perhaps it should be no surprise if it requires more concrete than anything in history as well.

It's one thing to characterize China's demand for concrete as "China's mass concrete binge," but it seems to me that saying, "they’ve mixed up massive amounts of concrete and splattered it across the landscape," trivializes what they've actually been doing, and minimizes the scale of their ambitions. The North-South project doesn't even show up in the author's list of concrete destinations. None of which is to say that the subject doesn't merit some serious exploration. Thanks for the article.

Miss Marple:

"A record number of Republicans enter the House races."

Now that's very good news.

[Jim Eagle]

All depends on what type of concrete. Anyone have the mix specs? I can tell what it most likely is used for from that. And if it is being used for aqueducts and water diversion canals, another clue is the kind of reinforcement being used.

[Jim Eagle]

I just read that Guardian link about the canals and tunnels.

That is lot of concrete and I imagine the tunnels are lined. China's geology indicates plenty of pozzolans for that kind of non-structural concrete. Plus we all know about their steel production capability.

[MissMarple2]

If they use the concrete which was used in our patio and back steps, it won't last long.

[JM Hanes]

JiB:

I wouldn't even begin to know where to look for mix specs, but here are a couple more videos which show the kind of thing thay've been building.
Top 10 Engineering Projects
Breathtaking Mega Highways

Almost all of these are relatively recent. A lot of attention has been paid to China's "ghost cities" and replicas of various famous locations, but they've essentially been trying to play catch-up ball with the developed world in one fell swoop. Ignatz source may be right in saying that China's debts are coming due at a particularly bad time, but I think it's not surprising that trying to catch up with a 100 years of western progress would take 100 years worth of concrete.

My fav was one highway which in the U.S. would have been carved out of a mountain on the side of a river valley, but they just built the whole thing as a bridge, right up the center of the river.

It's sort of odd to see their high speed rail and all this incredibly modern infrastructure alongside of a culture that's still buying fresh batwings in open markets and defecating in store dressing rooms. Although that's sounding more like San Francisco all the time.

[MissMarple2]

The concrete wall which was put around my high school's football field by the WPA in the 1930's is STILL STANDING with no major cracks or chunks having broken off, and I drive by the thing about once a month and check.

I think the hyperbole was meant to cover things like building a freeway on stilts rather than they simply dumped it out on the ground.
Every insecure dictatorship takes on enormous public works projects to astound the world and it always ends the same; Ozymandii spread all over the countryside.
Remember Albert Speer and Hitler's titanic plans? The Soviets built dams all over the planet. Herod. The Romans.
And now the Chinese commies with access to more credit are building monuments to themselves all over the joint and like the others will build utterly useless monuments that frequently wreak ecological and economic destruction. But that's the nature of tyrants; they're insecure so they buy what they think is security and loyalty by ordering and then watching their peon ants building mighty works no one wants or needs in most cases and think they're doing something useful.
What they are doing is sewing the seeds of their own destruction as the disruption, debt and needlessness of so much of it eventually takes over.
You would think the country that built a succession of titanic and useless walls might get a clue, but that is not the nature of man.

Like one of rse's posts:

The government—or rather, the party—controlled everything: the news media, arms, police, the armed forces, the judiciary system, communications, travel, all levels of education from kindergarten to universities, all cultural and religious institutions. Political indoctrination started at a very early age, and continued by means of the Hitler Youth with the ultimate goal of complete mind control. Children were exhorted in school to denounce even their own parents for derogatory remarks about Hitler or Nazi ideology.
