Zero American Capital Ships in Middle East

Zero American Capital Ships in Middle East

Mark Clouse January 13, 2022

The US Military moved a Capital ship, the Carrier USS Essex, out of the Middle East, sending it to the Philippine Sea. This move means that, currently, the Middle East has no US Capital ship at present, and the 5th Fleet is also now without any carrier in support of it.

Facing an AI-Run Crypto Market Serving Digital “Entrepreneurs”

Parker Davis January 13, 2022

With more and more people turning to AI to help them with Crypto Trading, could there conceivably be a day where the best crypto traders are the best designed crypto-trading ai programs? The sales pitch is on for AI-led crypto-trading and more and more people, and firms, are buying in.

Trusting Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Crypto Trades—is it Time to Ditch the Hard Work?

Excerpt:

Crypto industry peaks deserve more than two hands to handle; more traders are looking into AI as an advantage. Quick analysis and making the right calls at the right time can be a game-changer. Will AI be the new frontier in the crypto markets?

Admittedly, precise calls in the crypto space or any other industry are scarce, with complex graphs and other determinants to contemplate. Decent patterns at the right pace, coupled with a thirsty investor, can always get the job done. Therefore, in the latter part of 2021 and well into 2022, AI is vital, probably the missing piece on how to short bitcoin on trading platforms such as PrimeXBT.

Opening positions early and investigating them can create value, albeit these smart moves have been there for a while. Crypto bots have had their time in the crypto space for some time, bringing valuable information and highlighting unpopular moves that give impressive outcomes. Achieving smart and efficient abilities to gain an advantage goes beyond basic financial knowledge, and brokers contemplating this require advanced programming knowledge.

The Federal Trade Commission filed a new version of its antitrust lawsuit against Facebook Inc. on Thursday, seeking to jump-start its case with bolstered allegations that the company is abusing a monopoly position in social media.

The FTC voted 3-2 along party lines to file the amended lawsuit, with Chairwoman Lina Khan participating in the agency’s deliberations and supporting the new complaint. The commission denied Facebook’s request that Ms. Khan, a Democrat, be recused because of her past criticism of big tech companies.

Excerpt:

As superbugs become increasingly dangerous to human health, NC State researchers have developed a soft material that preserves medicines capable of treating infections without the risk of antimicrobial resistance.

With his colleague Christopher Gorman in the Department of Chemistry and students Ryan Smith and Juliana O’Brien, Stefano Menegatti, a University Faculty Scholar and an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, developed new dendrimers — highly structured macromolecules — that act as a glue around nanoparticle templates. Such templates include bacteriophages, which are viruses that can infect and attack harmful bacteria in the body. While they can be an alternative to traditional antibiotics, they can be difficult to formulate and stabilize as a medicine. To remain safe and effective, therapeutic bacteriophages need to be protected from environmental changes.

The GOP has been working in states that they control to gird their elections from DNC manipulation in preparation for avoiding another mass mailer national election for the President of a Federal Republic, such as we are.

How red states overhauled their election systems, part II

Excerpt:

This is the ninth in a series of articles examining changes to voting laws in every state.

The ongoing election evolution in the United States, while in large part catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic, has been building momentum for years.

Many states were already undergoing major overhauls to their election systems leading up to the 2020 election, even before the pandemic gripped the nation. And in the aftermath of the presidential contest, states have doubled down on voting reforms.

To provide a comprehensive analysis of the voting law changes in every state and Washington, D.C., since 2019, The Fulcrum compiled data from the Voting Rights Lab, the National Conference for State Legislatures, the Brennan Center for Justice, and state statutes and constitutions. This ninth installment focuses on the five reliably Republican states.

Republicans have complete control over the executive and legislative branches of government in Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Each…

Everything Starfish Can Do, Starfish Robot Can Do Better

Starfish Robot Self-Heals Like Real Starfish

A starfish-shaped soft robot that creeps, changes its color, and self-heals broken parts

Excerpt:

Natural camouflage is one of nature’s most interesting traits. Materials scientists have now developed a material that can mimic the camouflage capabilities of marine mollusks. They created a starfish-shaped soft robot that responds to heat and pressure with deformation, movement, and color changes. Cut-off tentacles can be welded together, and the material can be fully recycled, they write in the journal Angewandte Chemie.

Octopuses, jellyfish, and starfish are capable of natural camouflage; that is, they can quickly change their colors or shapes to match the background. A research team led by Quan Li from Southeast University, China, has now created a soft material that can mimic such traits. As an underlying material, they chose a liquid crystal elastomer that changes phases at different temperatures. When heated up, the oriented liquid crystal molecules of the elastomer lose ordering, causing the material part to shrink.

The researchers used this shrinking effect to enable a soft robot to “crawl.” For this purpose, they molded the polymer material in the shape of a starfish and added an infrared-sensitive dye to the underside of one of the tentacles. This modified site contracted when heated up by a photothermal effect resulting from near-infrared irradiation, and expanded when cooled down. Since only one arm received the light stimulus, the starfish robot slowly moved over the surface, pushed by the contracting–expanding tentacle like a caterpillar.

The starfish soft robot was capable of changing its color. The researchers integrated a cross-linker in the material—a molecular dye linking polymer…

CNN Opinion: Let’s Go Brandon Dad Deserves to Have Life Ruined

Excerpt:

The idea that someone should have their life ruined over a practical joke, is patently insane and frankly anti-American. Yet that is exactly what CNN Opinion columnist and SiriusXM radio host Dean Obeidallah argued in a recent column last week.

In a piece titled “You can’t troll the President with ‘Let’s go, Brandon’ and then play the victim”, Obeidallah argued that Jared Schmeck, 35-year-old Oregon father deserves whatever punishment the cancel culture tyrants want to inflict on him for the grave sin of saying “Let’s Go, Brandon” to President Joe Biden during a call on Christmas Eve.

Obeidallah summarized the incident that got the left all in a tizzy this way:

On Friday, Schmeck took it one step further by trolling the Biden’s to their face with this coded expression. The father of four is now — as you might imagine — facing a tsunami of criticism for essentially dropping the coded equivalent of an “F”-bomb on a live Christmas Eve special designed for…

The new year comes with new year’s resolutions. People say they are going to lose weight, quit smoking, or do some “new year, new me” crap like try to be a better person. Rand Paul has a resolution, and it’s to quit Big Tech. The leftist weirdos who decide what “facts” get “checked” and what squeaks past their algorithms have made it clear that anything to the right of Karl Marx or Anthony Fauci is problematic. See: Rogan, Joseph. Senator Paul has decided he’s out, and he’s starting with YouTube.

YouTube was an easy one to quit, especially when Sen. Paul has had issues with them in 2020. The Senator wrote about his reasoning in the Washington Examiner.

“Any time I state that cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading, as [studies say], YouTube deletes the video.

Local media in the Solomon Islands recently reported that Taiwan island allegedly sponsored the “premeditated” anti-government riots in Honiara with the purpose of trying to pull down the government of the Solomon Islands and sabotage relations between China and the Solomon Islands.

“The acts of violence directed against the democratically-elected government of the Solomon Islands, the ethnic Chinese business community in Honiara and the majority of peace-loving Solomon islanders was at its very core a premeditated, cold-blooded and cowardly Taiwan-sponsored attempt to pull down the national government and undermine Solomon Islands-People’s Republic of China relations,” Solomon Star, a local English media, reported on December 17, quoting a writer given the name of George Belau.

Colombian suspected of involvement in killing of Haiti president held in Panama – sources

Excerpt:

On Monday, Panama authorities arrested a former member of the Colombian military wanted for questioning in connection with the assassination last year of Haiti president Jovenel Moise, two people familiar with the matter said.

The suspect, Mario Antonio Palacios, 43, was detained during a stopover of a flight on which he was being deported from Jamaica to Colombia, the sources said.

Haitian authorities have accused Palacios of forming part of a mercenary group that assassinated Moise in July in an assault on his residence, during which his wife was also wounded.

Palacios was detained during a stopover in Panama and asked to “voluntarily” board a flight to the United States, a Colombian immigration source said.

In case he resisted, Panamanian officials said they would enforce an Interpol red notice issued by the United States, which is in addition to one that Haiti had already issued, the source said.

Haiti has also issued an Interpol red notice for Palacios.

It was not clear if he had gone to the United States.
