PUTIN AND POO

Aesop is a legendary figure of whom many ancient writers speak of.  In his early years, he was quite possibly a slave, but eventually earned his freedom.  He was arrested in the Greek city of Delphi for insulting the Delphians, and thrown off a cliff to his death. Aesop was said to have written 725 fables which still exist and which were meant for entertainment purposes, but which also convey a moral or practical message to readers.  In this post (Putin and Poo)...

PUTIN’S DOGS

СОБАКИ ПУТИНА There is an old saying that the best thing about a man is his dogs. Unlike cats, dogs take the responsibility and do the heavy lifting when it comes to bonding with a person. They seek approval from people. Dogs will perform hilarious and sometimes humiliating tricks for a treat. Try getting a cat to perform. I’ve always gotten along with dog owners.

Black Swan Sighted!

WARNING! BLACK SWAN SIGHTED

If you Google the term “black swan,” you’ll likely be overwhelmed with references to a movie starring Natalie Portman. But you must keep scrolling. Those of you who have taken a course in statistics are familiar with the term “black swan,” because one black swan is all you need to overturn (falsify) the hypothesis that all swans in nature are white. This notion that all swans are white cannot be proven because one cannot observe all swans. Black swans are...

Exit, pursued by a bear

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR

Wars and rumors of war In His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24), Jesus spoke of the end times, specifically of “wars and rumors of war,” warning that these were signs that the end was approaching.
