Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Battleships are back! In little more than five months, the shape of America’s future Navy fleet changed. Between February and July, U.S. Navy leadership went from advocating for a modest fleet of 60 cruisers and destroyers to supporting a more robust vision of 96 large surface combatants by 2045. Nobody really knows what, exactly, pushed the Navy to favoring large combatants—a rating traditionally comprised of high-value cruisers and destroyers. Neither the U.S. Department of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy, nor America’s Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Mike Gilday, has offered taxpayers any real detail on what spurred the Navy, after years of fretting over the relevance of large surface combatants, to redirect at least $70 billion in future funding towards building bigger ships. The shift was abrupt. In February, at the annual WEST 2022 conference in San Diego, Gilday sketched out a future fleet of 60 large and 50 … [Read more...] about Battleships Are Back!

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The pounding of his heartbeat was the only thing he could hear as he surveyed the traditional European room accented with crystal chandeliers. For this adventurer who had climbed one of the highest peaks in the Southern Hemisphere, this was the biggest and most thrilling challenge he had ever faced. But as some of the most well-known European wine tasters started to finish up their blind tasting, that tremendous adrenaline rush subsided and an overwhelming panic overtook the adventurous man.

Many of us likely forgot one of the most striking things about the last great college sports scandal - not the illegal early recruiting stings, not the under-the-table payments to incoming athletes and their parents, and not even the many perverts caught in the locker and training rooms. It was a revelation from the Varsity Blues scandal, where fancy, famous, and affluent parents bribed coaches and other admissions officers and used fake resumes to get their mediocre offspring admitted to prestigious colleges through the locker room door by claiming that they were serious jocks. As the stories slowly unfolded, what became apparent is that some of the kids involved didn’t even want to go to college. In each case, the main driving force was a clever con artist named Rick Singer , who combined his mastery of the college admissions process with his ability to manipulate and stroke the pathetic parents’ egos, their competitive social concerns, and their desperate need for bragging … [Read more...] about Why Your Kid Isn’t Going to Princeton and a Bunch of Other Top Schools

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin You hear reports now and then about how many people can’t tell the difference between a red wine and a white wine if tasted blind, much less one red or white wine from another. This is no cause for being smug for the simple reason that all wines are nothing but fermented grape juice, and a great number of white wines are made from red grapes. The fact is that wine experts make mistakes all the time about what they’re tasting, including Harry Waugh, a legendary British connoisseur who, when asked when was the last time he’d mistaken a Bordeaux for a Burgundy, responded, “What time was lunch?” Which is one of the reasons American wine critic Robert Parker refused ever to taste wines blind. The prospects of committing a whopper of an error are huge. Still, those who labor intensely, sometimes for years, and often fail exams as often as would-be lawyers to become an officially designated Master of Wine (there are only … [Read more...] about Why Do So Many Wines Taste So Different And Why Do So Many Taste The Same?

Max Eigenmann as Alice It is a reflection of our views, but it is in no way a propaganda film,” declared Max Eigenmann of the dramatic film “12 Weeks,” where she plays a single 40-year-old woman who discovers she is pregnant after breaking up with her boyfriend and must decide whether or not she wants to be a mother. “I’m pro-abortion, but I didn’t decide to play Alice because I wanted other people to have the same views. It’s just for telling a story,” said Max of the movie by Anna Isabelle “Shine” Matutina. “I believe that the film was able to justify Alice’s decision in the end. For me, the decision is solely for the woman to make and no one else. I don’t think this particular topic has ever been discussed in local cinema. I think it’s going to be—it already is—an amazing and exciting two weeks.” “12 Weeks” is an entry to the 18th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, which will run from Aug. 5 to 14. Shine said she and Max never really talked about the fact that … [Read more...] about Max Eigenmann: I’m pro-abortion, but I didn’t do ‘12 Weeks’ because I wanted others to share the same views
