German defense group Rheinmetall announced on Tuesday that it formalized an agreement with U.S. Defense giant Northrop Grumman Corp. to cooperate in the field of precision-guided enhanced range artillery ammunition. According to a group news release, Rheinmetall’s South African subsidiary Rheinmetall Denel Munition and Northrop Grumman signed a 10-year strategic partnership agreement to this effect in February 2021. During this period, the two companies plan to cooperate together in order to offer forward-looking ammunition technology to the international market, including the United States, to support future artillery operations. The partnership will focus, above all, on achieving an enhanced range 155mm artillery round fitted with […]

The U.S. Army celebrated a field artillery milestone in October 2020, when the 500th High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rocket launcher powered out of the industry-partner’s production facility in Camden, Arkansas. HIMARS stands as a combat-proven mainstay in the Army’s fleet of launchers and supports one of the Army’s top modernization priorities – Long Range Precision Fires. The rocket launcher provides close- and long-range precision rocket and missile fire support for joint forces, early-entry expeditionary forces, contingency forces and field artillery brigades supporting brigade combat teams. Showcasing its strength and lethal payload, HIMARS is deployed in theatres worldwide. Currently, 363 HIMARS […]
The U.S. Army is pushing forward with plans to field a new augmented reality, do-it-all goggles to outfit close combat forces. The new augmented reality systems will be integrated into Soldier’s goggles to improve situational awareness capabilities as they fight, train and rehearse missions, according to a recent service news release. The ‘mixed reality’ goggles developed under the Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) program, include a digital display to access information without taking eyes off the battlefield, thermal and low-light sensors, rapid target acquisition, aided target identification and augmented reality. – ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW – The IVAS is a head-mounted […]
Some 4.5 billion years ago, our planet was a drastically different place – an uninhabitable world with extremely hot temperatures, toxic air, and pounded with radiation coming from the Sun in the form of flares and coronal mass ejections. Scientists believe everything changed with the formation of the Moon. The Earth and the Moon once had a joint magnetic field that acted as a shield against solar wind particles, says a new study conducted by an international team of scientists led by NASA. For a long time, scientists believed that the Moon didn’t have a long-lasting magnetic field due to the […]
Although the magnetic field created during such an experiment would last only a matter of nanoseconds, this time span would reportedly be enough for modern physics experiments. A bold new study claims that it would be possible to generate magnetic fields comparable with those that exist in neutron stars and black holes, on Earth, Live Science reports. According to the media outlet, although no one has managed to surpass the results of a 2018 lab experiment where lasers were employed to create a magnetic field “just over” 1 kilotesla (1,000 tesla; to put it in perspective, magnetic resonance imaging machines used […]
After hospitalizations for Covid-19 nearly tripled over the past month, straining Wisconsin’s healthcare system, Governor Tony Evers has announced the state will open a field hospital outside Milwaukee to handle the surge. Speaking alongside health officials on Wednesday, Evers announced the field hospital would open next week on the state fairgrounds outside Milwaukee. Built months ago, in anticipation of an expected surge in infection, the facility had sat disused until now. According to the state Department of Health Services, just 16 percent of Wisconsin’s hospital beds were available as of Tuesday afternoon. Some 853 patients infected with the coronavirus are hospitalized […]
Fans eagerly supported their idol, as the star striker himself casually downplayed his illness, suggesting it was a “bad idea” for the virus itself. Sweden’s evergreen football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. “Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tested positive for COVID-19 after a second round of swab tests. The club has informed the relevant authorities and the player has been immediately quarantined at home,” his club Milan informed, stressing that other players tested negative. The news put Milan’s web page temporarily out of order due to user overload. However, the 38-year-old striker, who is known for his larger-than-life […]
Brazil’s state oil major Petrobras has launched a new phase in the development of the first deepwater oil project since the start of the crisis, at the Mero field in the Santos Basin. According to a report by BNAmericas, the Brazilian major had commissioned a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel for the field from MISC Berhad, a subsidiary of Malaysia’s Petronas, with a capacity of 180,000 bpd of crude oil and 12 cubic meters of natural gas daily. The Marechal Duque de Caxias FPSO will be the third platform to be deployed at the Mero field, which is part of […]
Florida is a key state. Trump won it in 2016 and the Democrats are trying to flip it back to them in 2020. Recent reports out of the state should have Democrats very concerned. According to organizers who are part of Biden’s own campaign, the campaign is suppressing the Hispanic vote in Florida. This is astounding.

One person was killed and another wounded following an apparent shooting at a US airbase in Florida, triggering a brief lockdown at the facility. The Air Force has labeled the incident an “armed domestic disturbance.” The lethal shooting unfolded at the Hurlburt Field air base in Florida’s Okaloosa County on Friday, the military confirmed in a statement. The injured person was brought to hospital for treatment, and an “all clear” has since been issued at the installation, following an earlier missive warning of an “active shooter.” Few other details have yet emerged. “My condolences go out to all affected by this senseless tragedy.

On his personal website Colin Peter Field presents himself plainly as a “bartender” and shares a list of his favorite spirits, including the ubiquitous Grey Goose Vodka and Maker’s Mark Bourbon. But don’t be fooled—Field is a visionary mixologist and is regularly hailed as one of the greatest bartenders in the world. (There’s a reason why Kate Moss wrote an introduction for one of his cocktail books.) The British native arrived in Paris in 1981 at the age of 20 and has since helped change the drinking landscape of the city, which used to be curiously uninterested in cocktails. Since its […]

At the same time, the Netherlands is not the first European state to manipulate gender options in domestic documents. The Netherlands Minister of Education, Culture and Science, Ingrid van Engelshoven, has notified the country’s parliament that the government is planning to remove the ‘gender’ field from all forms of IDs beginning 2024 or 2025. The change will affect all newly issued IDs. In her words, the measure, the implementation of which is rooted in an agreement of a government coalition, is […]
Kremlin-controlled Russian state media set out to tickle U.S. President Trump’s fragile ego amid falling ratings after his blustery appearance at Mount Rushmore on Friday. Mentioning that the American head of state had previously toyed with the idea he might be featured alongside Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln, Russia’s premier state media channel Rossiya-1 aired a graphic of Trump’s mug right up there on the mountain beside them. Given the frequent allusions on Russian state media to Trump as Moscow’s friend, even Moscow’s “agent” in the White House, maybe the Kremlin would like to see the enormous monument renamed Mount […]
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have restarted production at the Al-Khafji oil field in the neutral zone between the two countries, Turkey’s Anadolu Agency reported, citing a statement by the acting CEO of the Kuwait Gulf Oil Company. The official Twitter account of the company posted an update yesterday, saying (via Google Translate) “Congratulations on the occasion of the resumption of production in joint abundance operations.” An earlier report by Argus News from late June said Saudi Arabia and Kuwait had plans to restart both oilfields in the neutral zone—Al-Khafji and Wafra—this month. Al-Khafji is one of four offshore and one onshore field located in the neutral […]

Aric McBay’s two-volume handbook for political action helps us to strategize, plan and organize effectively in order to achieve our goals of radical social change. Looking back on the events of May and June, one might be tempted to think that nobody needs a field manual for insurgency — that rebellions just arise when conditions are ripe and […]
There is nothing I love more in this world than my cast iron skillet. It’s by far my favorite pan in the kitchen. People talk a lot about the differences between non-stick and cast iron, and while non-stick pans are great for things like eggs, that’s all they’re really good for (in my opinion). The cold hard truth is that cast iron pans get hotter, they are really easy to maintain, they are easy to clean, and they will last pretty much your entire life if you take care of them properly (which sounds intimidating, but isn’t hard at all). The […]

Russian gunners were able to be brought under control and extinguished a wellhead fire at an oil field in Siberia, according to the Lenta.ru. The oil well in Siberia’s Irkutsk region, operated by a subsidiary of the Irkutsk Oil Company, caught fire on May 30. The regional government convened an emergency meeting on Friday to work out how to put it out. “We decided to bring in the military’s artillery forces who have to shoot at the wellhead for the successful and operational closure of the well,” Andrei Bogdanov, head of production security for the Irkutsk Oil Company, told the meeting.

A Montana burger chain that abruptly closed last summer amid allegations its owners— ministers at an evangelical Christian ranch—physically and emotionally abused its young staff has quietly reopened, sparking protests among residents who’ve had enough. MudMan, a chain of four fast-food joints serving monstrously large burgers, was part of a multimillion-dollar business empire led by Michael and Pam Rozell, who founded Potter’s Field Ministries. In July, the evangelical Christian organization, which includes an 80-acre ranch in picturesque Whitefish, was shut down by its sponsor church following a slew of allegations of verbal and emotional abuse against young people, inhumane working conditions, […]
US Army soldiers built a massive to field hospital in Seattle’s CenturyLink Field Events Center in late March to treat coronavirus patients. But the facility was never used and was taken down in April. The US Army Corps of Engineers mobilized in the U.S. in March hiring private contractors to build emergency field hospitals around the country. But most of the facilities never treated a single patient. The cost of the facilities was reportedly $660 million. This is another example of how top US doctors based their decisions using garbage coranavirus models. The field hospitals had capacity to treat 14,817 coronavirus […]
