Takeaways from Biden’s State of the Union address

[linksitess]

The name was originally meant to evoke the French word "to speak" (par-LAY), but nobody pronounces it that way. Everybody says Parler the same way they say that stuffy, front-of-the-house sitting room where ancient Aunt Biddy took to entertaining guests. The main difference between Parler and, say, social media superstars Twitter and Facebook? Parler is, at least for now, a practically no-holds-barred "free speech" free-for-all, where just about anything goes. And, at least for now, Parler is almost exclusively a domain to talk politics. But, like a lot of social media, you'd better watch out. It can get ugly on there. When Twitter, Facebook and other sites started slapping the social media equivalent of warning labels on a series of high-profile, very possibly untruthful, and often almost certainly inaccurate posts, Parler's popularity went ballistic. In the week after the presidential race was called in favor of Joe Biden, some 4.5 million people joined Parler, according to the site's CEO, John Matze.
We probably shouldn't single out chocolate here, though, since strawberry milk has the same teeth-rotting, fat-building effect. Rather than flavored milks, which are being removed from an increasing number of school cafeterias throughout the United States, steer your child toward the plain stuff in either low-fat or skim form. They need the calcium, not the added sugar. Whether it's pepperoni, sausage or just plain cheese, pizza fails big when it comes to nutrition. Even throwing some veggies on it, which is pretty rare in schools, doesn't help much. All pizza is high in fat (especially the saturated kind) because it's loaded with cheese, but that's only part of the problem. Pizza simply doesn't contain a whole lot of nutrients. There's plenty of fat, sodium and carbohydrates; and while some school boards consider pizza sauce to be a vegetable, most health experts beg to differ. Pizza topped with pepperoni leads the list of slices you probably don't want your child eating for lunch.|Brooklyn-born Vladislav Davidzon, author of “From Odessa with Love,” is in Kyiv and writes that the residents of Ukraine’s capital are starting to worry. While many Ukrainians have spent the previous months preparing for a possible full-scale Russian escalation of the war, others have blissfully ignored the obvious. The number of times I have been told that “nothing is going to happen” and “this war has been dragging on for 8 years and were have learned to live with it” beggar’s belief. Perhaps this is a self-defense mechanism and the only really rational way to live in the face of this sort of existential danger. I have on a few occasions not been able to resist the temptation to respond and ask why they are more sure of their judgments than the generals, intelligence chiefs, journalists, diplomats and think tank professionals who think about this issue all day long. In the last few days Moscow has recognized the so-called Russian proxy republics of Donetsk and Luhansk and sent in “peacekeepers” to reinforce the troops it already had stationed there.
Being well prepared for the hike is the best insurance you can have that you'll be able to reach the end of the trail. True, but it's walking up and down steep, sometimes forbidding terrain, often with blisters on your feet. It's carrying everything you'll need on your back. Sleeping outside in freezing temperatures. And don't even get us started on the heat. Humidity you're sure to encounter in the summer months. A long hike will test your determination, and it requires some serious mental fortitude. The best way to get mentally prepared for the hike is to be as well informed about it as possible. That means heading to the library and checking out every book you can find on thru-hiking in general and the Appalachian Trail specifically. The two must-read books for anyone who is thinking about hiking the AT are "The Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers Companion," which is a guide produced by The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association, and the "Appalachian Trail Data Book," which is a bible of information about the trail that is updated every year.
Acoustic levitation allows small objects, like droplets of liquid, to float. Unless you travel into the vacuum of space, sound is all around you every day. But most of the time, you probably don't think of it as a physical presence. You hear sounds; you don't touch them. The only exceptions may be loud nightclubs, cars with window-rattling speakers and ultrasound machines that pulverize kidney stones. But even then, you most likely don't think of what you feel as sound itself, but as the vibrations that sound creates in other objects. The idea that something so intangible can lift objects can seem unbelievable, but it's a real phenomenon. Acoustic levitation takes advantage of the properties of sound to cause solids, liquids and heavy gases to float. The process can take place in normal or reduced gravity. In other words, sound can levitate objects on Earth or in gas-filled enclosures in space.
Lots of sites that publish regular information have their own RSS feeds, like Marshall Brain's BrainStuff weblog. The trouble with living in the Information Age is paradoxical: There's too much information. It's everywhere. How are you supposed to keep track of all the news, sports, weather and blogs you follow? Better yet, how are you going to do that and find time for work, school and family? If you're addicted to the constant flow of data that we know as the Internet, you're not going to be able to manage it without some help. One way to keep track of it all has grown very popular since its introduction in 1997: RSS. Short for Really Simple Syndication (at least now -- more on that later), RSS is a way to subscribe to a source of information, such as a Web site, and get brief updates delivered to you. When you subscribe, you'll get a feed -- often a series of headlines and brief summaries -- of all the articles published on that particular Web page.
