What's Destroying the Arctic Sea Ice?

May 02, 2021

Here's a piece on "heat bombs" that researchers believe are a chief cause of the vast Arctic ice-melt taking place before us.

Until now, it was known that all sea ice is on a path to disappear in the Arctic summers in the next few decades, but no one understood the mechanism by which this catastrophe is occurring. It is now clear that the warm highly saline waters entering from the Northern Pacific through the Bering Straight is subducted (pulled under) the surface due to its higher density than the cold, less salty waters that come from the Atlantic.  ...

No Room in the GOP for Anti-Trump Republicans, At Least Right Now

May 02, 2021

This is true right now, in the spring of 2021.  Whether it will be true when the mid-terms roll around in 2022 or the 2024 presidential election is anyone's guess.  Consider:

• Trump's spectacular array of legal woes, many civil, but mostly criminal.  Are there Republican politicians, serious about re-election, who will stand by his side as the world sees ironclad proof that he committed fraud, tax evasion, inciting insurrection, election tampering, extortion, and the rest?

• We also are about to see the prosecution of more than 500 of Trump's staunchest supporters for charges of everything from unlawful ...

How Leaders Can Transform the New In-Person Meeting

May 02, 2021

Associations still need to be cautious and limit their goals when it comes to in-person meetings. But that leaves room for creativity too.

The face of meetings is changing, which means leaders have to think more about what they're having meetings for.

In the spring issue of Associations Now, I wrote about the outlook for in-person meetings in 2021. To sum it up in one word: Better. But it's also more complicated than that. Associations can't completely reject virtual meetings, because they often opened the door to new audiences in 2020. And economic constraints mean that meetings ...

Biden Methodically Mending Broken Situations

May 02, 2021

Is it because he doesn't play too much golf?   Because he doesn't tell 13 lies per day, hog credit for everything good that happens, "takes no responsibility" for anything bad, and works feverish to enrich the billionaires while screwing the middle class?

Who knows?  And who cares?

Most progressives have to admit that they are pleasantly surprised to see Joe Biden, someone most of us presumed to be an aging, feckless political centrist taking such aggressive actions to create a just government that actually delivers value for the American people.

And btw, to my knowledge, this is the first ...

3 Ways to Take Better Care of Yourself and Live an Optimized Life

May 02, 2021

The secret to happiness lies in the way you live your life. People think of happiness as some destination they'll reach when they've accomplished the hundred things on their life to-do list. Happiness is often associated with money, material possessions, or even great relationships.

While all of those elements feed into creating happiness, you'll experience true joy and fulfillment with clarity and by taking better care of yourself. When you spend each day optimizing your life, the consistency compounds, and you'll experience the benefits of progress. 

The chances are good that you give a lot of yourself to other ...

And don't forget how Anna and the Apocalypse manages to weave together teen drama, Christmas stories, zombies, and musicals (albeit in a film).

Will Virgin Galactic ever be successful? A new book provides insights

May 02, 2021

I have always struggled with what to think about Virgin Galactic, the brilliantly marketed space-tourism company founded by Sir Richard Branson in 2004.

Certainly, Branson founded the company with laudable goals. Bringing more people above the planet to see the curvature of the Earth and experience weightlessness should only help humanity better understand the value of our fragile world. And Branson's infusion of private funding into spaceflight, alongside ...

Here's why Apple shouldn't let developers have their own app stores

May 02, 2021

iPhone App Store

Apple's App Store rules are at the center of several antitrust investigations at home and abroad. The European Union has already filed antitrust charges, finding Apple's App Store behavior anti-competitive in a Spotify case. Separately, Epic Games has sued Apple in the US on similar grounds.

At the center of these antitrust probes and lawsuits are Apple's rules for the App Store. Some developers do not appreciate the 30% fee that Apple charges for in-app purchases, especially if Apple also competes against that app or service. They also aren't fans of the fact that Apple doesn't allow them ...

Here's an unavoidable fact: the original Nintendo Game Boy is reaching middle age. The world may have moved on to sleeker, less bulky technology since Nintendo's first portable landed in shopping malls and mom-and-pop electronics stores back in 1989. But a number of developers are returning to the green hue of Nintendo's flagship handheld to explore new ideas for the platform, using the classics as a template.

"Pokémon and Zelda are obvious, really surface level," Izma, creator of new Game Boy game Deadeus, says of ...

AP PHOTOS: Muslim miners in Bosnia break fast underground

May 02, 2021

Groups of men are preparing for long hours of hard labor deep underground in a trouble-plagued coal mine in Bosnia's central city of Zenica. During Islam's holy month of Ramadan, observant Muslims among them are easy to spot. Arriving for their shift and assembling for a roll call before riding an elevator into the mine tunnels, they carry with them transparent plastic bags containing simple meals brought from home with which they will break their daily fast 500 meters (1,640 feet) below the surface. During Ramadan, observant Muslims abstain from eating, drinking and smoking from dawn until sunset and ...

How one naughty bird cheats with fancy feather structures

Female tanager birds dig flamboyant males. So to build plumage that really pops with orange or red or yellow, a male has to eat fruits and absorb their carotenoids. The fancy feathers he produces then serve as an honest signal, in the evolutionary sense, as his ability to consume a lot of carotenoids shows that he's fit. And the female wants to pass those genes along to her offspring, please and thank you.

Except biologists ...

      The idea was to get a kind of stamp of approval from some pretty hardcore fantasy novel fans in advance of Netflix launching the series, which has quickly become one of the most-watched Netflix shows at the moment. Long story short, the three booktubers who appear in ...
