Submarines: Air-Independent Propulsion
I wrote recently about Russia launching Kalibr missiles from its Varshavianka (Improved Kilo) class submarines in the Black Sea. That set me off to explore the latest submarine technology and Air-Independent Propulsion, although not new as such, is certainly leading the way in the non-nuclear fleets.

The phrase "a house divided against itself will always fall" is a quote from the Bible, and it has become a familiar and powerful metaphor for political and social division. In the United States, it is often used to describe the partisan divide between Republicans and Democrats.

Why We Need a New Civil Rights Act
Martin Luther King would have been truly disappointed that nearly 60 years since the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Americans of African descent continue to be relegated to the status of third-class citizens, marked out for unequal treatment, harassment, and worse.
