https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/politics/ukraine-israel-foreign-aid-bill/index.htmlHouse Republicans released the text of three bills Wednesday that would provide aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region, with the latter intended to help deter Chinese aggression in the area.
The House is expected to vote on the bills Saturday. President Joe Biden said in a statement Wednesday that he supports the aid package.Here’s what’s included in the bills, according to a summary provided by House Republicans:
Nearly $61 billion for Ukraine
( https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240415/APRIL2024_UKRAINE_xml.pdf )
One of the bills would provide a total of nearly $61 billion to assist Ukraine and others in the region fight Russia – about the same that was included in the Senate bill.Of that total, about $23 billion would be used to replenish US weapons, stockpiles and facilities, and more than $11 billion would fund current US military operations in the region.
Nearly $14 billion included in the bill would help Ukraine buy advanced weapons systems and other defense equipment.
More than $26 billion for Israel
( https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240415/APRIL2024_ISRAEL_xml.pdf )
The House package would provide $26.4 billion to aid Israel, specifying that the funds are to support “its effort to defend itself against Iran and its proxies, and to reimburse US military operations in response to recent attacks,” according to a summary of the legislation.
The funding includes $4 billion for the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems and $1.2 billion for the Iron Beam defense system, which counters short-range rockets and mortar threats.It would also provide $4.4 billion to replenish defense items and services provided to Israel and $3.5 billion for the procurement of advanced weapons systems and other items through the Foreign Military Financing Program. Plus, it would provide additional flexibility for transfers of defense items to Israel from US stockpiles held in other countries and would prohibit sending funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, which supports Palestinian refugees and has come under fire after Israel alleged some of its staff were involved in Hamas’ October 7 attack.
Also included is $9.2 billion in humanitarian assistance – including emergency food, shelter and basic services – to populations suffering crises.
More than $8 billion for Indo-Pacific security
( https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240415/APRIL2024_PRC_xml.pdf )
The House package includes $8.1 billion to counter China’s actions in the Indo-Pacific region. It includes $3.3 billion to develop submarine infrastructure, $2 billion in foreign military financing for Taiwan and other key allies, and $1.9 billion to replenish defense items and services provided to Taiwan and regional partners.https://t.me/boris_rozhin/120524

A satellite image of the Israeli Ramon airbase, which was attacked by Iranian ballistic missiles on April 14, has been published.
Here you can see the buildings that have been damaged:
– Two hangars for the repair of ground equipment
– Transport aircraft service station
– Recreation center for officers
– WatchtowerArrogance failure -Truth prevails
– Israel MUST maintain its facade as being invulnerable
– It’s already too late, destroying themselves
– the combined help of 4 major air-powers – the missiles got through
– conflict is not a winning solution
– Iran checkmated Israel’s impunity
– Re-evaluate U.S/Israeli foreign bases/defense/attack systems
– denial of impotence
– Electric War, destruction of energy supply/storage/distribution equal the destruction of society

https://journal-neo.su/2024/04/15/irans-retaliatory-attack-on-israel-assessing-the-potential-fallout-of-further-escalation/Iran has also sent a message to its regional proxies, including Houthis and Hezbollah, that it holds the potential to directly attack Israel from its land.
Iranian attack on Israel has also damaged the military credibility of the country at home and abroad.
A war between Iran, and Israel would result in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. and plunge the world into an energy crisis.

Emperor has no clothes moment if not already there.
The decision-makers in Israel and Washington must now be aware that Iran can inflict enormous damage.The Iranians did not use any weapons Israel didn’t know it had, it just used a lot of them. But the Iranians likely now have almost a full map of what Israel’s missile defence system looks like, as well as where in Jordan and the Gulf the US has installations. It also knows how long it takes to prepare them, how Israeli society responds…etc
This is a huge strategic cost to Israel, while Arab regimes now are being blasted by their peoples, particularly the Jordanian monarchy, for not doing anything to protect Gazans but then going all out to protect Israel.
Crucially, Iran can now reverse engineer all the intel gathered from this attack to make a much more deadly one credible. While the US and Israel will have to re-design away from their current model which has been compromised. Its success in stopping this choreographed attack is thus still very costly….”

Which animals produce the most flatulenceCopilot
Animal flatulence—a topic both amusing and informative! Let’s delve into the world of gassy creatures:
Cows: These grass-munching bovines are notorious for their methane-rich emissions. Nearly 30% of Earth’s methane comes from ruminant livestock like cows. Their grain-based diet contributes to their frequent tooting, so perhaps a menu change could benefit our noses and the planet1.
Termites: These tiny wood-chompers are responsible for 1% of annual methane production. Remarkably, their mounds filter out most of the gas before it reaches our atmosphere1.
Horses: Not far behind cows, horses produce nearly 45.5 pounds of methane gas per year. They’re shameless about their flatulence, often ripping one as they cough, get up, buck, or jump1.
Manatees: These gentle sea creatures don’t fart just for fun. They use stored-up gas to float to the surface and release it, helping them stay balanced and navigate while swimming1.
Zebras: When chased by predators, zebras release gas with every stride. Legend has it that their farts can even knock out a lion if inhaled in sufficient quantities
Rhinos: These plant-based eaters have a lot of built-up gas due to fermentation in their digestive tract. Farting is their natural way of releasing it1.
Elephants: These massive animals produce massive farts. They’re the heavyweight champions of flatulence in the animal kingdom1.
Remember, while animal farts can be entertaining, they also play a role in greenhouse gas emissions. So next time you hear a cow or a horse toot, consider it a tiny contribution to our planet’s delicate balance!You
Would dinosaur make more Flatulence
Copilot
Ah, the ancient question of dinosaur flatulence!While we can’t directly measure the gas emissions of dinosaurs (they didn’t leave behind a “fart-o-meter”), we can make some educated guesses based on their biology and habits. Here’s what we think:
Dinosaur Diets: Dinosaurs had diverse diets. Some were herbivores (like the gentle Brachiosaurus), while others were carnivores (like the fearsome T. rex). Herbivores likely produced more gas due to their plant-based diets, which can lead to increased fermentation in the gut. Carnivores, on the other hand, might have had less gassy digestive systems.
Gut Fermentation: Just like cows and other herbivores today, herbivorous dinosaurs had large guts with specialized chambers for fermentation. This process breaks down plant material but also produces gases like methane. So, yes, herbivorous dinosaurs probably had some impressive flatulence!
Size Matters: The size of dinosaurs matters too. Larger dinosaurs would have had more massive digestive systems, potentially leading to more gas production. Imagine a massive sauropod letting one rip—it would have been quite the spectacle!
Swamp-Dwelling Dinosaurs: Some dinosaurs lived in swampy environments. These areas often have low-oxygen conditions, which can lead to more fermentation and gas production. So swamp-dwelling dinosaurs might have been particularly gassy.
Social Behavior: If dinosaurs lived in herds or groups, their collective flatulence could have been significant. Imagine a whole herd of stegosaurs or triceratops releasing gas simultaneously!
In summary, while we can’t say for sure whether dinosaurs were the ultimate gas factories, it’s safe to assume that some of them had their fair share of prehistoric toots. Just imagine the soundtrack of the Mesozoic era—roaring dinosaurs and the occasional prrrrt!———

Video Evidence Shows Several Iranian Cruise Missiles Scored Direct HitsSUNDAY, APR 14, 2024 – 11:35 AM
Both Israel and the US have declared a ‘victory’ in defending against the overnight massive Iranian drone and missile attackThe videos purport to show several missiles scoring direct hits on two key Israeli military bases in the south of the country: Nevatim Airbase and Ramon Airbase (locations on map above).
First, the Nevatim Air Base, which is one of Israel’s largest. The below footage appears to show clusters of munitions raining down above the base – possibly decoy bomblets, before several ballistic missiles make impact on the ground.

————Netanyahu called off retaliatory strike on Iran after call with Biden – New York Times
Today, 3:43 pmPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls US President Joe Biden from IDF’s Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv on April 14, 2024. (GPO)
US President Joe Biden dissuaded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from greenlighting an immediate retaliatory strike against Iran after it launched around 300 attack drones and missiles at Israel last night, the New York Times reports.According to the report, several members of Israel’s war cabinet had been in favor of launching a response attack, but the lack of serious damage caused by Iran, in addition to Netanyahu’s conversation with Biden, led to it being called off.
What about tomorrow?
Israel blows off 100s of air defense(AD) missiles costing 25-100 times more than the drones sent by Iran and can’t resupply. Soon Israel will be like Ukraine air defense, just a few random systems.
Oh, they used F35 to shoot down drones they claim? But a sortie costs same or more than an AD missile and soon the delicate complex f35 and f16 planes just won’t fly any more. No more parts or techs to fix ’em. No more AD and no more air force. Soon the US navy and air bases will also use up all AD and air forces in the Levant. Logistics will be sketchy. Then the US will do an afghanistan style occupation collapse in Iraq, Syria, etc.
Just drone the air ports and sea ports so the IDF divert f35, f16 to other US air bases? Then they cannot fix the planes, they can’t fly. The US logistics, techs can handle only a few planes. A month and the occupier / imperialist air forces are down to a few trainer aircraft.
Meanwhile the Israelis are migrating from Palestine.

While some crow about Israel/USA/Jordan downing all the drones and cruise missiles, that is exactly the whole point. Waste millions of dollars a pop to down relatively inexpensive drones that Iran can manufacture at scale to show Western interceptor “prowess” while burning up expensive missile stocks that are probably in short supply anyway. This is no doubt asymmetric and each missile that is used up on a drone is a missile that now cannot be used in Ukraine/Taiwan/SK/NK,etc. This demonstration was no doubt coordinated with Russia/China and perhaps even NK.This was just a demonstration that was telegraphed and communicated days/weeks in advance but the West still had no option but to burn up their AD missiles, it was powerless to stop Iran from doing said demonstration. This is a big moment without active commitment of the USA in the ME, Israel is done in its present form.
Pay attention to the statements coming out of DC from Biden and company they don’t want to take on Iran, they have accepted Iran cannot be taken on without massive losses to military power and prestige. We have now transitioned to the kinetic stage, don’t be surprised if NK/Russia/Yemen/China call the next US bluff.

how far is it for drones to go from Iran to Israel
Copilot
Using
the web
Iran launched more than 300 drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel in the early hours of Sunday night, marking the first time Iran has directly targeted Israeli territory. Let’s delve into the details:Distance:
The two countries’ borders are more than 1,000 miles apart.
The slower-moving drones were expected to take around nine hours to arrive in Israel.
Iran’s cruise missiles should take around two hours to reach Israeli territory, while high-speed ballistic missiles would take approximately 12 to 15 minutes12.
The majority of the drones and missiles were shot down by Israeli, American, and other allied forces before they reached Israeli territory1.
Attack Details:
Iran launched over 200 drones and dozens of cruise missiles as part of what it called “Operation True Promise.”
The first wave reached Israel at around 2 a.m. local time, with sirens blaring across the country and visible explosions in the sky.
Commercial capital Tel Aviv, the disputed city of Jerusalem, and Dimona (home to Israel’s nuclear plant) appeared to have been targeted.
Most of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted outside Israel’s borders, with only a limited number falling inside the country’s territory.
The attack caused minor damage to an Israeli base3.
International Involvement:
The US and UK reportedly helped Israel shoot down Iranian drones over Jordan, Iraq, and Syria to prevent an uncontrollable escalation.
Royal Air Force fighter jets and refueling aircraft were also involved, taking off from bases in Cyprus.
Their role was to fill in for the US air force in sorties against the Islamic State and intercept Iranian drones if they entered the UK area of operations3.
Israel’s Response:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel was ready to strike back.
The US, France, and Britain expressed support for Israel’s self-defense.
Israel’s government ordered schools closed, and citizens were urged to heed alerts and seek shelter.
President Joe Biden emphasized the US commitment to defending Israel and warned Iran not to escalate further3.
In summary
Iran’s unprecedented attack involved a significant number of drones and missiles, but Israel’s defenses intercepted most of them before they reached their target. The situation remains tense, and international efforts are focused on preventing further escalation312.

Iranian Telegrams are claiming that Land-Attack Cruise Missiles and One-Way “Suicide” Drones have also been launched by the Houthi Terrorist Group in Yemen at Israel.
Reports that Iran has responded.
On X, I’m seeing 2 waves of drones, one from Iran & one from Hezbollah group in Iraq. Another source reports a wave of drones from Yemen.I’m seeing arrival times as soon as 2 hours
Iran says any country that opens its airspace will ve dealt with harshly.
Drones will suck up AD, but also light it up.
So drones leave 1st. Followed by missiles to take out AD. Last is missiles for target.

Middle East Crisis: Container Ship Hijacked Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Soaring Iran Tensions
While Israel on Friday braced for cruise missile and suicide drone attacks, there are new reports on Saturday morning that Iranian commandos hijacked an Israeli-affiliated container ship heading towards the Strait of Hormuz.AP News says the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations initially reported the hijacking of Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship linked to London-based Zodiac Maritime. Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer controls the international ship management company that owns and charters large vessels.
Video of the boarding has been circulating X for the past hour. However, “AP could not immediately verify the video, it corresponded to known details of the boarding, and the helicopter involved appeared to be one used by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which has carried out other ship raids in the past,” the media outlet said.
Follow the money/the loses
The seizure of the ship can be understood as a warning to the U.S. and its Gulf allies to not get any funny ideas and to attack Iran. A closure of the Strait of Hormuz would increase global oil prices and jeopardize Biden’s re-election.https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/04/irans-retaliation-delay-keeps-pressure-on-us-and-israel.html#comments
Iran’s Retaliation Delay Keeps Pressure On U.S. And IsraelComment
My colleague over at Whats Happening with Shipping earlier made the same observation that I did. The Yemenis were not simply taking advantage of a target of opportunity. IE by forcing a halt to Israeli trade through their region. There is a strategy being effectively coordinated. Now I think that I see what it may be. If Im correct it may be huge. Outside the industry it may be difficult to see. The Houthies closed the Red Sea to Israel by making their trade impossible to insure. All insurance have Force Mejeur clauses. The 10,000 plus 40 foot containers on the MSC Aires were lost through Force Mejeur. Even if they were insured the traders will not be compensated. They will have to declare bankrupcy. IMO it seems that the Resistance may be targeting all Israeli trade worldwide. Incrementally. Those lost 10,000 containers certainly will spell disaster for many companies. CFOs may now be recieving notification from their insurers that ALL Israeli related trade is uninsured. All because of an IRCG commando op. Their exports are feeble but consider that Israel imports 90% of its merchandice, including necessities. Like the USA much of Israelis GDP is created by Israeli owned companies in China and SE Asia. Doing business with them is suddenly a liability. It seems genious.Posted by: Ralph Conner

FRIDAY, APR 12, 2024 – 02:40 PM
Update(1740): Multiple European airlines have canceled all flights to and from Iran, and flight trackers also indicate that skies above Israel are clear of civilian aviation.Speculation is at a frenzy over the ‘when & where’ of the coming Iranian retaliation attack. “Anonymous US officials” have been feeding alarming headlines to media outlets all day – and among them the following:
Iran has readied a large number of missiles for a possible strike, according to three U.S. officials. Two of the officials said that Iran has readied more than 100 cruise missiles for a possible strike. Iran has also readied a sizeable number of drones that could be used in an attack on Israel, according to one official.
The officials said that Iran has been readying the missiles and drones over the last week.
The Pentagon has continued to move US naval assets closer to Israel, in apparent preparation to assist in repelling any potential attack.

Update(1317ET): Israeli hospitals have been put on a high state of alert by the home command, awaiting an ‘imminent’ Iranian retaliation attack. Iran has also reportedly put the United States on notice…Three U.S. Officials told Axios : Iran has sent a message to the U.S. through several Arab countries, that if they interfere in Iran’s response against Israel, U.S. bases in the region will be struck.
Meanwhile, Russia just chose quite the wrong moment to conduct a test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile from its Kapustin Yar airbase in southern Russia. The rocket was reportedly seen soaring high in the atmosphere from parts of northern Iraq and Iran, triggering concerns it was Iran beginning its attack.
Below are some breaking headlines:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/01/27/2021-01924/protecting-the-federal-workforce(a) The creation of a new Schedule F excepted service category in Executive Order 13957 of October 21, 2020 (Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service), not only was unnecessary to the conditions of good administration, but also undermined the foundations of the civil service and its merit system principles, which were essential to the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883’s repudiation of the spoils system. Accordingly, to enhance the efficiency of the civil service and to promote good administration and systematic application of merit system principles, Executive Order 13957 is hereby revoked.

06 Feb.2024Abstract. A central problem of geometry is the tiling of space with simple
structures.
The classical solutions, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons
in the plane and cubes and other polyhedra in three-dimensional space are
built with sharp corners and flat faces. However, many tilings in Nature are
characterized by shapes with curved edges, non-flat faces, and few, if any,
sharp corners. An important question is then to relate prototypical sharp
tilings to softer natural shapes. Here, we solve this problem by introducing
a new class of shapes, the soft cells, minimizing the number of sharp corners
and filling space as soft tilings. We prove that an infinite class of polyhedral
tilings can be smoothly deformed into soft tilings and we construct the soft
versions of all Dirichlet-Voronoi cells associated with point lattices in two and
three dimensions. Remarkably, these ideal soft shapes, born out of geometry,
are found abundantly in nature, from cells to shells.
