Ως γνωστόν ο Μιλόσεβιτς ήταν «χασάπης». Και «εγκληματίας». Και «δολοφόνος». Και έκανε «γενοκτονία». Και ειδικά στο Κόσσοβο έκανε και «εθνοκάθαρση». Για να καταλάβετε πόσο «κάθαρμα» ήταν, ακόμα κι αυτός ο Πρετεντέρης - όπως έγραφετότε - μόλις τον είδε στο εδώλιο της Χάγης (τον Μιλόσεβιτς ) «ανατρίχιασε» (ο Πρετεντέρης...).

Του Νίκου Μπογιόπουλου

Στις 11 Μαρτίου 2006, ο Σλόμπονταν Μιλόσεβιτς πέθανε στις φυλακές της Χάγης. Προηγουμένως είχε καταγγείλει τους δεσμοφύλακές του ότι τον οδηγούσαν στο θάνατο, αρνούμενοι να του παράσχουν την αναγκαία ιατροφαρμακευτική αγωγή για τα καρδιακά προβλήματα που αντιμετώπιζε.

Δέκα χρόνια αργότερα, πριν από ένα περίπου μήνα, ο Μιλόσεβιτς… αθωώθηκε. Το Διεθνές Δικαστήριο της Χάγης τον απάλλαξε – μετά θάνατο – από την κατηγορία για την υποτιθέμενη συνενοχή του Βελιγραδίου στη σφαγή 8.000 Βοσνίων μουσουλμάνων στη Σρεμπρένιτσα, τον Ιούλιο του 1995.

NASA Is Testing the Engine For its Quiet-Boom Supersonic Jet

NASA

By Jay Bennett

NASA and Lockheed Martin are designing an experimental X-plane called the Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) demonstrator aircraft that they hope to fly for the first time in 2019. The program is intended to solve one of the biggest problems with commercial supersonic flight: noise, and specifically the noise a plane makes when it breaks the sound barrier. Even if a company developed a reliable supersonic passenger aircraft, regulations would allow that plane to break the sound barrier only over the ocean, preventing the JFK to LAX flight of your dreams.

Lockheed's design of the QueSST, the LM1044, is intended to prevent the air pressure waves that build up on the airframe from coalescing into one large shockwave. Such a design has the potential to break the sound barrier with a low rumble of small sonic booms rather than the dramatic clap of a large one.

But the sonic boom isn't the only noise problem on a supersonic jet. The engines themselves are incredibly loud—too loud for a commercial airport, especially as traditional airliners get quieter and the industry lowers noise limits. The Concorde itself was much louder than the subsonic jets of the late 1970s, and the aviation industry isn't willing to accept that kind of racket anymore.

Ποιός ήταν ο Γερμανός στρατιώτης που έσωσε μια ελληνική πόλη από την καταστροφή! (PHOTOS)

Οι φιλέλληνες είναι ένα ιδιαίτερο κεφάλαιο στην ελληνική ιστορία, που βοήθησαν τη χώρα σε δύσκολες στιγμές. Ο Ηλίας Κόκκινος ανήκει σε αυτή την κατηγορία ανθρώπων που όταν ήρθε στην Ελλάδα προσέφερε μεγάλο καλό.

Top Twelve Contra-Rotating Lunatics

By the mid-1940s the limitations of piston aero engines were becoming apparent. Every possible scheme to squeeze the last bit of power from the internal combustion engine was tried. One of the most successful innovations was the contra-rotating propeller arrangement whereby two sets of propellers driven by one engine and sharing a common axis are contra-rotated (with one set travelling clockwise and the other anticlockwise). 
This system, though insanely noisy, produced more thrust than an equivalent conventional arrangement. It also produced some of the most insane flying machines ever to have deafened their ground crew. 

ΑΥΤΑ είναι τα χαρακτηριστικά ενός “ιδανικού ανθρώπου” ή Υπερανθρώπου κατά τον Αριστοτέλη

 “Όμως ο ιδανικός άνθρωπος κατά τον Αριστοτέλη -ο μεγαλόψυχος— δεν είναι ένας απλός μεταφυσικός φιλόσοφος.

Δεν εκθέτει τον εαυτό του σε κίνδυνο για ασήμαντους λόγους… αφού ελάχιστα είναι τα πράγματα που θεωρεί πολύτιμα. Όμως θα διακιν­δυνεύσει για έναν σημαντικό σκοπό, και θα είναι έτοιμος να θυσιάσει τη ζωή του, αφού πιστεύει ότι δεν αξίζει τον κόπο να προστατεύει κανείς τη ζωή του με οποιοδήποτε τίμημα.

The Hawker Siddeley P.1154: BRITAIN’S SUPERSONIC JUMP-JET

The dream of a supersonic STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) fighter has been striven toward for over half of the history of heavier-than-air flight. When the F-35B reaches real operational readiness with the USMC, it will be a very significant event. Lockheed Martin will have succeeded where dozens of the world’s greatest aircraft design houses have failed. The tortuous road which led, via the Harrier, to the F-35B started with NATO requirement NBMR-3 of 1961. This almost led to a British superfighter, the Hawker P.1154.

The Confederados – At the end of the American Civil war 20,000 Confederates immigrated to Brazil, where slavery was legal, and formed a comunity

 

In 1865 at the end of the American Civil War a substantial number of Southerners left the South; many moved to other parts of the United States, such as the American West, but a few left the country entirely. The most popular destination for emigrating Southerners was Brazil.
Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil wanted to encourage the cultivation of cotton. After the American Civil War Dom Pedro offered the potential immigrants subsidies on transport to Brazil, cheap land, and tax breaks. Former Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee advised Southerners against emigration, but many ignored their advice and set out to establish a new life away from the destruction of war and Northern rule under Reconstruction.

Surviving examples of a Roman “Spatha” used in war and gladiatorial fights

 

The spatha was introduced to the Roman army in the early imperial period by Celtic cavalry auxiliaries who continued to wear their Celtic long swords, with blade lengths of 60 to 85 cm, in Roman service. The earlier gladius sword was gradually replaced by the spatha from the late 2nd to the 3rd century. From the early 3rd century, legionaries and cavalrymen began to wear their swords on the left side, perhaps because the scutum had been abandoned and the spatha had replaced the gladius.
In the imperial period, the Romans adopted the original Greek term, spáthē (σπάθη), as spatha, which still carried the general meaning of any object considered long and flat. The word Spatha appears first in Pliny and then Seneca with different meanings: a spatula, a metal-working implement, a palm-leaf and so on.

5 Lesser Known Concentration Camps From The Holocaust

The extensive list of active concentration camps used by the Nazis in World War Two would be too long to write. The major camp names went down in history, Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Bergen-Belsen are just three of hundreds of extermination or labor camps the Jewish population were interned in during the war. Not only Jewish people were victims of the horror. Anyone who did not fit in with the Nazis fanatical extremism was at risk.
Some of these camps have been turned into museums, or monuments, since the end of World War Two whereas other lesser known camps have not been maintained, but this doesn’t make them any less worth remembering.

THE (ALMOST) SINO-SOVIET WAR (COLECTION OF ARTICLES)

A)When the Chinese Stole a Soviet Tank, They Nearly Went Nuclear!

Soviets and Chinese using sticks against each other during the Sino-Soviet split

Most people believe the world narrowly avoided nuclear catastrophe during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Though correct, that wasn’t the end of it. In 1969, the world stood on the brink of yet another atomic disaster because the Russians and the Chinese screwed up in 1892.
That was the year the Russian Empire and the Qing Dynasty agreed to recognize the Sarikol Range as the dividing line between them. Unfortunately, they never demarcated exactly where China ended and where Russia began.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936 – 1939) a call went out from the Republican forces for communists and socialists around the world to come to Spain and join the fight against fascism. The democratically elected populist government had been challenged by General Franco’s Nationalist rebels.
As Franco had the support of Germany and Italy as well as some of the army units, the Republicans were soon at a disadvantage. Around 40,000 men and women from 52 countries responded and joined the fight on the Republican side. That number included a substantial number of Americans who become part of the XV International Brigade. The regiment was made up of volunteers from Britain, Ireland and South America alongside the American recruits.

Book Review: Seven Myths of the Crusades. (Revisonist)

Edited, with an Introduction and Epilogue, by Alfred J. Andrea and Andrew Holt.

Hackett Publishing, 2015

After languishing for long years in a post-Enlightenment intellectual backwater of fabrication, speculation, and distortion, the historical Crusades of the High Middle Ages began to attract serious scholarly attention in the nineteenth century. Continuing into the twentieth, these early efforts to gain a fresh understanding effectively culminated with Sir Steven Runciman’s A History of the Crusades, first published 1951-54, in three volumes. For four decades following, A History of the Crusades served as the standard Crusades reference for students, professors, and the reading public.

Oldest known book of the Americas points to how Mayans precisely recorded the movement of Venus

Dresden Codex. Credit: NOVA/PBS

Posted By: Dattatreya Mandal 

The Dresden Codex (also known as the Codex Dresdensis) is a Maya codex from the pre-Columbian era of 11th-12th century; and as such is considered as a copy of an older, original document that was possibly compiled in 8th century AD. In spite of the ‘derivative’ feature, the Dresden Codex is the oldest book written in the Americas known to historians, with its fascinating content of astronomical tables, including the Lunar Series and Venus table. Pertaining to the latter mentioned part, while the Venus table has intrigued researchers and historians over the years, the scope of its analysis has been mostly limited to numerology denominations. But this time around, researcher Gerardo Aldana, a professor of anthropology at UC Santa Barbara, has made a new case for the table, and his study links the astronomical and historical attributes of the Venus table that were possibly achieved by an early Maya scientist. In essence, the table might have alluded to an incredible astronomical discovery related to Venus more than a thousand years ago.

To that end, Aldana made use of epigraphy (study of hieroglyphics) combined with archaeology and astronomical records, and this ambit hints at how a correction in the ancient text relates to to the movements of Venus. The equation was probably made during the period between 8th-10th century (also known as Terminal Classic period) in the Mayan city of Chich’en Itza, (possibly) under the patronage of K’ak’ U Pakal K’awiil, the ruler/high-ranking official of the settlement. Aldana has this to say about the scribe who made this change in the Venus table –

This is what happens when Russia makes a B-2 stealth bomber knock-off

by Orvelin Valle - 

As the saying goes: “If you’re going to dream, dream big.”
That’s exactly what Russia did when it was evaluating designs for its next-generation bomber, dubbed the “PAK-DA” — which literally means “prospective aviation complex for long-range aviation.”
The initial concept was supposed to be a stealthy and insanely fast hypersonic aircraft. But then reality set in, and so far the idea’s been more wishful thinking than reality.

Mildred Fish-Harnack

Mildred Fish-Harnack (born Mildred Elizabeth Fish; 16 September 1902 – 16 February 1943) was an American-German literary historian, translator, and German Resistance fighter in Nazi Germany.

Life in the United States

Mildred Elizabeth Fish was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of four children born to William C. Fish and Georgina (née Hesketh) Fish. She attended West Division High School (now Milwaukee High School of the Arts), but finished up her last year at Western High School in Washington D.C.^[1]
In 1926, she was studying and working as a lecturer on German literature at the Milwaukee State Normal School (now the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee).^[2] She met the jurist Arvid Harnack, a Rockefeller Fellow from Germany, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They later wed in a ceremony at her brother's farm near Brooklyn, Wisconsin^{[disambiguation needed]}.^[1]
One of her teachers at the University of Wisconsin was William Ellery Leonard. A fellow student and friend was poet Clara Leiser.^[3] She finished her senior thesis in 1928: "A Comparison of Chapman's and Pope's translations of the Iliad with the Original". During her time at Madison, she also worked on the Wisconsin Literary Magazine. From 1928-29, she taught English at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Oseberg ship: The amazingly well preserved Viking burial ship from the 9th Century

The Oseberg burial mound contained numerous grave goods and two female human skeletons. The ship’s interment into its burial mound dates from 834 AD, but parts of the ship date from around 800, and the ship itself is thought to be older.
It was excavated by Norwegian archaeologist Haakon Shetelig and Swedish archaeologist Gabriel Gustafson in 1904-1905. This ship is widely celebrated and has been called one of the finest finds to have survived the Viking Age.
The ship and some of its contents are displayed at the Viking Ship Museum, in Bygdøy.

The Oseberg ship (Viking Ship Museum, Norway)

The ship is a clinker built “karv” ship built almost entirely of oak. It is 21.58 m long and 5.10 m broad, with a mast of approximately 9–10 m. With a sail of c. 90 m², the ship could achieve a speed up to 10 knots.
The ship has 15 pairs of oar holes, which means that 30 people could row the ship. Other fittings include a broad steering oar, iron anchor, gangplank, and a bailer. All images wiki

Fourteen hundred years before Britain voted to leave the European Union, it tried (and failed) to Brexit the Roman Empire. Under the leadership of Spanish-born soldier Magnus Maximus, a chunk of the Western Roman Empire rebelled against its Italian overlords, but ultimately failed to stay independent for too long.
