I'm glad your KS problem got solved. Can you please use some time to post about Palestine? People are being killed in your name. Use your platform please. Thank you

Hey anon! So...no, I won't be doing that. What the fuck do you even mean "people are being killed in my name"? Absolutely no one is killing in my name, and I owe talking about it more to no one.

First, I trigger pretty severely to harm to children, which automatically means that a great deal of the coverage of Palestine is very triggering for me.

Second, I think there are plenty of people already blogging about this, that not every single blog needs to become wall-to-wall discussion of Palestine, and that mass-blogging about the conflict is entirely performative.

Third, in general I rarely blog about political events, and when I do it's virtually always US election (FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU HAVE TO VOTE) and/or things about censorship, because those are the areas that interest me and that I personally feel strongly about.

Fourth, I think the demand that a stranger blog about that one specific event, ignoring all the other ongoing tragedies in the world (the war in Ukraine and the genocide in the Congo, to name two that spring immediately to mind) is honestly heckin' weird.

Fifth, I own and run a business, and it's entirely within my rights to decide to keep that business apart from incredibly divisive current events. The business account (which is entirely separate from my personal account - it's not a side blog, it's a separate log in) - when it interacts with political topics at all - primarily blogs about recent happenings in publishing and related fields (so, legislation about free speech, ongoing strikes, etc.) and about recent happenings related to queer things (positive legislation and negative legislation being proposed or passed). I intentionally do not blog about other political topics, because they have nothing to do with the business. The most political the Press has gotten about the conflict in the Middle East is that we've quietly removed a couple books from rec lists that were written by authors or released by publishers who have managed, by publicizing their OWN views, to become especially controversial (especially on Tiktok) and even that I did extremely reluctantly, I just don't want to get Tiktok cancelled because we spent 5 seconds saying we liked a book by someone they currently hate, because Tiktok is Like That.

As to my own personal views on the conflict, which you are in absolutely no way entitled to know but which I have previously shared publicly so don't mind sharing again, I am a Jew and I was raised to believe that when all the rest of the world turned on us, Israel would always be the one place where we'd be safe, and I clung to that belief over 40 years of watching Israel become increasingly right wing and jingoistic, continuing to believe that the surest path to safety and security for everyone involved was a two-state solution.

As I previously wrote here, in the face of Israel's current actions against Palestine, I no longer believe that. If this is how Israel behaves, I no longer think Israel has a right to exist. I do still think that the best outcome right now is a two-state solution, but one that involves the complete abolition of the current Israeli government and army, to be replaced with a system that isn't, ya know, disgustingly fascist - and that if that can't be done, we need a one-state solution, and that one state shouldn't be Israel. This is my personal opinion.

However, I also acknowledge that for many Jews, this is an incredibly loaded, difficult topic, and I would never align my business to an official position like this because I have no desire to alienate people who I know feel as conflicted and complicated about this as I do myself. I take it as a matter of simple real fact that I respect my friends and colleagues enough to accept that they may reach different conclusions than I have about this, and I don't want them to feel unwelcome in a space that I've created because I on an individual level have reached a different conclusions about what I believe to be the best ending for this conflict than they have. We also do not allow political conversations of this stripe in our server for the same reason.

No matter how much people on both sides keep trying to paint this conflict as black and white, right and wrong, with one-and-done magic single-switch solutions, it's not that simple, never has been, and never will be, and the reality on the ground of ways to resolve this are also not that simple. Now, to be clear, I think it IS simple and accurate to say: the killing needs to stop i.m.m.e.d.i.a.t.e.l.y. That's a given and I think I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the circles I travel in who'd disagree. But what should happen AFTER that? That's where I think reasonable people can still disagree about what should happen next to that land and the people living on it.

Anyway.

I should probably stop talking before, in my effort to be nuanced and balanced, I say something that leads someone to think I should be canceled. I am against the genocide 100% and this conflict has turned me from reluctantly vaguely okay with zionism to anti-zionist, but I also am tired of seeing people act like big problems have easy solutions, and I'm tired of the suggestion that anyone who isn't performatively outraged about this specific situation 24/7 is a bad person with wrong opinions.

Like, I think you need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why you thought this was an appropriate ask to send a stranger. I'm genuinely disgusted that you'd try to turn a conflict that has nothing to do with me into something I'm personally responsible for because it's being done "in my name." Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with you? Antisemitic much? I'm a Jew, but that doesn't and never will mean that the Israeli government speaks for me or in my name. Fuck you.

"Powering the Future: The Explosive Growth of the Residential Solar Energy Storage Market ⚡🌍"

The Future of Residential Solar Energy Storage: A $33.32 Billion Market by 2030 🌞🔋

The transition to renewable energy is happening right before our eyes, and one of the most exciting sectors in this transformation is the residential solar energy storage market. As homeowners increasingly turn to solar panels to generate clean energy, storage systems are making it possible for them to use that energy whenever they need it – day or night. With the market already valued at $9.3 billion in 2023, it's expected to skyrocket to a staggering $33.32 billion by 2030. This rapid growth is driven by a combination of technological advancements, increasing demand for energy independence, and government incentives.

Let’s explore why this market is growing so fast and what the future holds.

Why Solar Energy Storage Is Gaining Popularity:

1. Powering the Future with Independence and Resilience

Extreme weather events like power outages have made homeowners more conscious of their reliance on the grid. Solar storage systems provide the perfect solution. They allow homeowners to store the excess energy produced by their solar panels during the day, which they can use at night or during power outages. This helps ensure a reliable and uninterrupted power supply, especially in times of crisis.

With the growing frequency of weather-related disruptions, the desire for energy independence is stronger than ever. Homeowners want to take control of their own energy production, and solar energy storage allows them to do just that – without relying on the traditional power grid.

2. Government Incentives and Support

One of the driving forces behind the rise of solar energy storage systems is the financial incentives offered by governments worldwide. In many countries, homeowners can take advantage of tax credits, rebates, and grants that reduce the upfront cost of installing solar storage systems. These incentives make solar energy storage more affordable, which is why more and more people are investing in it.

3. Technological Advancements in Battery Technology

The most significant improvement in solar energy storage systems has been in battery technology. The most common battery used today is lithium-ion due to its high efficiency, reliability, and decreasing cost. As battery prices continue to drop, solar storage systems are becoming more accessible to homeowners, even those on a budget.

In addition to lithium-ion, new battery technologies such as flow batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries are emerging. These innovations are expected to offer even better performance and longer life cycles, making solar storage even more cost-effective and sustainable.

4. Smart Home Integration: The Next Step

With the rise of smart home technology, solar storage systems are becoming more intelligent. AI-powered systems are now able to optimize energy consumption, helping homeowners store and use energy in the most efficient way possible. For instance, solar storage systems can be integrated with home automation, adjusting energy use based on the time of day, weather conditions, or energy demand.

Additionally, Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are changing the game. By linking multiple home solar storage systems, VPPs allow homeowners to sell excess energy back to the grid, creating a new source of income and helping utilities manage demand. This provides a powerful incentive for homeowners to adopt solar storage.

Challenges on the Horizon:

While the residential solar energy storage market is growing rapidly, there are still challenges that need to be addressed:

1. Initial Investment Costs

Despite decreasing prices, the upfront cost of solar energy storage systems can still be a significant hurdle for some homeowners. Even with government incentives, the initial investment may not be affordable for everyone. This is especially true for people who are unfamiliar with the long-term cost savings or environmental benefits of solar energy storage.

2. Awareness and Education

While many people are familiar with solar panels, fewer understand the benefits of solar storage. Education is key to helping homeowners understand how these systems work and how they can save money and help the environment. As awareness grows, so too will the demand for these systems.

3. Grid Integration and Policy Inconsistencies

Not all regions have the same grid integration policies for solar storage. While some countries have clear rules and incentives for homeowners to connect their solar storage systems to the grid, others have limited or inconsistent regulations. This lack of uniformity can create confusion for homeowners who are considering solar storage.

4. Environmental Concerns

The environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries – especially in terms of production and disposal – is a concern. Although these batteries are efficient, their production process can be harmful to the environment. As a result, there is a push toward more eco-friendly alternatives, which will likely shape the future of solar storage.

Opportunities: The Bright Future of Solar Energy Storage

Despite these challenges, the future of residential solar energy storage is full of exciting opportunities:

1. New Ownership Models

One of the most interesting developments is the rise of third-party ownership and utility-owned storage models. These models allow homeowners to avoid the upfront costs by renting or subscribing to solar storage systems. This makes solar energy storage accessible to a wider range of people, including those who may not be able to afford the full cost of installation.

2. Diversification Beyond Backup Power

Solar storage systems are no longer just about providing backup power. They are now being used for electric vehicle charging, powering appliances during outages, and even contributing to microgrid systems that can power entire communities. As more applications are developed, solar storage will play an increasingly integral role in our energy systems.

3. Expanding Markets in Emerging Regions

While North America and Europe lead the charge, Asia-Pacific is becoming a key market for solar storage. Countries like China, India, and Japan are seeing rapid growth in the adoption of solar panels, and residential solar storage is following suit. As governments in these regions promote clean energy, the demand for solar storage systems will continue to rise.

4. Innovations in Battery Technologies

The next wave of battery technologies promises to improve solar storage even further. New technologies, such as sodium-ion and solid-state batteries, could provide higher energy densities, longer lifespans, and lower environmental impacts. These innovations will make solar storage more affordable and sustainable.

Conclusion: A Bright, Clean Future Ahead

The residential solar energy storage market is on track to see unprecedented growth, with a projected market size of $33.32 billion by 2030. As technological advancements, government incentives, and growing consumer demand fuel this transformation, solar storage is becoming an essential component of the clean energy future.

From increased energy independence and resilience during power outages to smart home integration and eco-friendly innovations, solar energy storage offers an exciting path forward for homeowners. If you’re considering solar energy storage or want to learn more about this rapidly evolving market, now is the time to get involved.

The future of clean, reliable, and independent energy is here, and solar storage is leading the way! 🌱⚡

The unique German brew of antisemitic ideologies culminated in Germany's unleashing the "Final Solution" of the "Jewish Problem." But thanks to the virtual universality of antisemitism, the Germans found fertile fields to sow the Holocaust throughout nearly all of Europe. The six million Jews slaughtered by the Nazis came from twenty-one European countries. Hitler's goal was to render at least Europe judeinrein (free of Jews), and by 1945, he had murdered almost seven out of every ten Jews on the European continent. In some countries, the Germans murdered the overwhelming majority of Jews. To cite the two most extreme examples, in Poland, the Germans murdered 3 million Jews out of a pre-war Jewish population of 3.3 million, and in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, 228,000 out of 253,000.

The major reason for the Nazis' success in murdering Europe's Jews was the cooperation they received from citizens of Nazi-occupied countries. Thus, almost everywhere, wherever the local populations refused to cooperate the percentage of Jews murdered was considerably smaller than elsewhere, and in two instances - Denmark and Finland - almost all the Jews were saved.

Concerning Denmark, its prewar Jewish population of eight thousand was mainly composed of Jews well integrated into Danish society. After the German takeover in April 1940, Himmler and other top German officials repeatedly pressured Denmark to take actions against its Jewish citizens.

Lucy Dawidowicz described the events: "After Denmark came under martial law, Best [the German minister in charge of Denmark] tried to deport the Danish Jews. His plans...were reported on September 28 [11943] to Danish Social Democratic leaders. The Germans had scheduled the roundup of the Jews for October 1, 1943, but in an extraordinary operation involving the whole Danish people and the agreement of the Swedish government, nearly all Danish Jews were hidden and then ferried across to Sweden, where they remained in safety until the end of the war. The Germans managed to round up some four hundred Jews, whom they send to Theresienstadt [ a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia]. The internment of the Danish Jews in Theresiendtadt agitated the Danish government which repeatedly requested permission to inspect the camp. In June, 1944, such permission was granted, and the visit was made by delegates of the Danish Red Cross. As a consequence of persistent Danish interest in the deported Jews, none was sent to Auschwitz. At the end of the war, fifty-one had died in Theresienstadt of natural causes."

Finland provided a second example of a German-occupied nation being able to save its Jews. When Himmler visited Helsinki in July 1942, he pressured the Finns to deport their Jews to German concentration camps. The Finnish foreign minister, Rolf Witting, simply refused to consider the matter, and no Finnish Jews were murdered.

A third example of a country (in this instance an ally of Germany) where the Nazis encountered stiff resistance to the Final Solution from the populace and leadership is Bulgaria. After Bulgaria's leaders halted the deportation of native Bulgarian Jews, though not of Jewish refugees living there, "the Germans continued to exert pressure to deport the Jews, but the counterpressure of Bulgarian opinion, especially the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, restrained the government from compliance. King Boris III, too, was opposed to deporting any but 'Communist elements.'" As a result, 50,000 of the 64,000 Jews in Bulgaria survived the war.

In most countries the Germans occupied, however, they received enormous local support in locating, arresting, and, in Eastern Europe, murdering the Jews. It was this support, offered enthusiastically in countries with large Jewish populations, that enabled the Final Solution to achieve its demonic success.

In Poland, with its history of antisemitism and its large Jewish population (10 percent of the population), the Germans were repeatedly aided in their program to murder all Polish Jews. When Poland became independent in 1919, the event was accompanied by a series of pogroms. During the years between the wars, severe quotas were placed on Jews in universities, and discriminatory economic regulations impoverished many Jews.

The record of Polish support for Nazi actions against the Jews is documented in many sources, nowhere more vividly than in The Warsaw Diary of Chaim A. Kaplan. Kaplan, a German-born Jew, living in Poland, meticulously recorded Jewish life in Poland under Nazi rule. His published diary runs from September 1, 1939, the day of the German invasion, until Kaplan's own deportation on or about August 4, 1942. Throughout the journal Kaplan wrote of Poles' support for the Nazis' anti-Jewish policies. For example, when the Nazis ordered the confiscation of almost all the Jews' property and money, Jews pleaded with longtime Christian friends to accept sums for safekeeping. But, wrote Kaplan, "the Christian 'friends' refused, because their merchants association had forbidden its members to give assistance to Jews in any form whatsoever" (October 16, 1939).

The depth of Polish Jew-hatred was particularly evident in Kaplan's description of the expulsion of the Jewish community of Pultusk. The entire community, including "old men with canes and sick people on the point of death" was exiled to Poplawy. "The rabbi went with the exiles...That night the Polish inhabitants of the village attack the rabbi, beat him up, and stole his last pennies. They stole the money from the rest of the exiles as they were leaving the village. The crowd cheered them all and emptied their pockets" (October 26, 1939). Another example: Kaplan noted that in the early days of the occupation, before the Nazis had ghettoized the Jews and when the Jews and Poles waited on bread lines for food, the Poles, "even though...they do not know German...have nevertheless learned to say 'Ein Jude' in order to get [a Jew] thrown out of line" (October 5, 1939).

But what may most reveal the depth of Polish antisemitism is that most of the Poles in the anti-Nazi underground refused to help Polish Jews even during the Jews' revolt in the Warsaw Ghetto. And a few months after the revolt's failure, on September 15, 1943, General Tadeusz Bor-Komorowski of the Armia Krajowa, the main Polish underground force, ordered that Jewish anti-Nazi fighters be liquidated. Though many moving individual instances of Poles risking their lives to save Jews are recorded, such as the seven Poles who smuggled arms into the Warsaw Ghetto and several thousand Poles who hid Jews, Poles overwhelming reacted to the Nazi genocide of the Jew with, at best, indifference, and often, support. Only with Polish cooperation could the Nazis have murdered over 90 percent of the more than three million Jews of Poland. And it was not coincidental that the major Nazi death camps were located in Poland.

Hitler's actions against the Jews were also abetted by his ally from 1939 to 1941, Joseph Stalin. When German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop met with Stalin to discuss the Soviet-German partition of Poland, they also addressed Germany's treatment of Polish Jews. Von Ribbentrop reported Stalin's response: "The Polish national problem might be dealt with as Germany sees fit," a statement that the Germans understood as supportive of their anti-Jewish actions.

Though Stalin knew about German persecution of Polish Jews from 1939 on, he kept this information secret. As a consequence, when the Germans broke their alliance with the Soviets and invaded the USSR in 1941, Soviet Jews had no idea that the Germans intended to murder them. The effects of this Communist-designed ignorance were catastrophic. Oblivious to Nazi designs, the Jews in occupied Soviet territory at first made no attempt to resist the German army or even to flee. When the Germans ordered local Jewish leaders to gather all the Jews for resettlement to a "Jewish region," the Jews obeyed. When the Jews did gather, Einsatzgruppen, Nazi mobile killing unites, together with "local Ukrainian, White Russian, or Latvian militia would transport the Jews outside thw town and murder them all - men, women, and children - by machine-gun fire within abandoned dugouts and ravines."

The Germans relied on local support of this kind throughout Eastern Europe. As soon as they captured Kovno, Lithuania, gangs of Lithuanians murdered 3,800 Jews on June 25-26, 1941. Upon capturing Lvov, in Soviet Ukraine, the Germans immediately organized a Ukrainian militia that murdered 7,000 Jews on July 2-3. The historian Shmuel Ettinger noted that the actions of the Ukrainians were so immediate and precipitate that "the murders were halted by order of the Germans," who wished to rbing greater order to the genocide campaign. That fall, at the end of September 1941, Germans and Ukrainians murdered at least 3,000 Jews in Babi Yar, a ravine near Kiev.

Romanians also participated in the murder of their Jews. On June 28, 1941, blood pogroms were carried out there, and 7,000 Jews were murdered. Later, the Romanians established concentration camps for the Jews. By the war's end 300,000 Romanian Jews had been murdered through the joint efforts of Germans and Romanians.

In the German puppet state of Slovakia in March 1942, the leader of the Slovak People's Party, Father Josef Tiso, a Catholic priest, agreed to expel the Jews. After his Fascist Hlinka Guard conducted massive manhunts for Jews, 35,000 were sent eastward to be murdered in the death camps. A Slovak rabbi went to Archbishop Kametko and asked him to influence his former private secretary, Tiso, to stop the expulsions. The archbishop responded: "This is no mere expulsion. There you will not die of hunger and pestilence; there they will slaughter you all, old and young, women and children, in one day. This is your punishment for the death of our Redeemer. There is only one hope for you - to convert to our religion. Then I shall effect the annulling of this decree."

In the fall of 1944, RAbbi M. D. Weissmandel escaped while en route to a concentration camp and ultimately met with the papal nuncio, describing for him the horrors of the Jews in temporary camps awaiting deportation to Auschwitz. He begged the papal nuncio to intervene with Tiso. The papal nuncio answered: "This, being a Sunday, is a holy day for us. Neither I nor Father Tiso occupy ourselves with profane matters on this day."

Weissmandel persisted, arguing that the lives of innocent human beings, including infants and children, were not a profane matter. The papal nuncio responded: "There is no innocent blood of Jewish children in the world. All Jewish blood is guilty. You have to die. This is the punishment that has been awaiting you because of that sin" [the death of Jesus].

Shmuel Ettinger summarized the support given by the people of Eastern Europe in the Nazi war against the Jews: "The most active accomplices of the Germans in these acts of extermination were the Ukrainians and Lithuanians, but they had many helpers among the Croatians, Rumanians, Hungarians and Slovaks....Their police personnel were willing to search tirelessly for days and even weeks in order to hunt down one concealed Jewish child. Though Poland was notorious for her antisemitism, it is a fact that the number of Jews hidden and saved there by the local population was many times higher than in Soviet Ukraine and Soviet White Russia....[But] it is not by chance that Poland was chosen as a the country of extermination. The Polish people...[did not] lift a finger to help the Jews, even in the worst days of mass murder, or during the Warsaw ghetto uprising. There were many Poles who handed escaping Jews over to the Nazis. Nevertheless, there were some Poles, mainly in the monasteries, who were shocked at the brutal murders, and particularly the slaughter of young children, and attempted to save them. Through them several thousand Jewish children were saved in Poland.

There is no question that in Western Europe the Germans took greater care in carrying out the Final Solution, knowing that anti-Jewish feelings were less intense there. As a result, except for Holland, the percentage of Jews murdered in Western Europe was considerably less than in Eastern Europe. Nonetheless, the Germans were also extended extensive cooperation in Western Europe. In France, for example, the Nazis required French cooperation to carry out deportation of Jews, since they lacked the manpower to do it alone..

On June 11, 1941, the Nazis formulated plans to round up all Jews between the ages of sixteen and forty. Pierre Laval, vice prime minister in Vichy, unoccupied France, informed the Germans that he would not use French police to round up Jews who were French citizens. But he did order the French police to turn over to the Germans the 64,070 Jewish refugees in Paris, including children under sixteen years of age. By mid-July, French police had delivered 4,051 Jewish children under the age of sixteen into the hands of the Nazis - Jews whom the Nazis themselves had not ordered rounded up. These children were subsequently sent to Auschwitz.

Virtually every secular and religious ideology and nationality in Europe had been saturated with Jew-hatred by the time the Nazis developed the Final Solution. Over the preceding decades and centuries major elements of Christianity, Marxism and socialism, nationalism, and Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment thought had come to view the existence of Jews as a distinctive people with a distinctive Jewish identity as intolerable. In the final analysis, they all would have opposed what Hitler did, but without them, Hitler could not have done it.

APEX Cybernetics was in precarious position. The Mechagodzilla project was going well. Too well. In its early days, APEX had stocked up on as much Titan DNA as it could harvest before the events of Keizer Ghidorah and the Many’s rampage made acquiring such genetic material an international crime. It had managed to acquire various specimens, including many skullcrawler eggs. However over time, their supply dwindled. The mechs and its prototype had proven to be too effective at defeating its opponents, eviscerating damn near every last Titan specimen the company had on hand. Things were getting desperate. They could continue to clone what little stock they had left of course, but would it really help? Sure the mecha may have been able to wipe out skullcrawlers just fine, but how would it fair against a true Titan? Especially against a king.

Luckily for those unfortunate APEX scientists tasked with figuring out a solution, one soon came. Somehow, someway, Walter Simmons came into a large stockpile of Titan DNA, recovered from the battle against the many. Amongst the various samples was genetic tissue from the king himself, Godzilla. This would be perfect. There was just one small issue: all calculations showed that a member of Godzilla’s species would take years, potentially even decades, to reach its maturity. That wouldn’t. They could not have Mechagodzilla facing off against a mere infant. There would be no point. But Skullcrawlers took only a few months to reach maturity, especially once pumped with the stimulants the company had engineered. And so, with the insistence of Mr Simmons, APEX’s genetic labs attempted something different. Something bold. Something mad. They would use genetic tissue from both Skullcrawlers and Godzilla to create a clone which would reach physical maturity at the rate of the former, while having the physical capabilities of the latter. They would not be an exact genetic copy, but it was close enough. It was risky. But would it pay off?

Some months later, Walter Simmons was invited to observe firsthand the progress on “Project: Nephew”, so named for its intended close but not quite replication of Godzilla’s form. When he arrived, he was aghast at what he saw. The process, in an attempt to splice the genetic material and replicate the advanced development of skullcrawlers, had produced an abomination unlike any he had ever seen. Like Godzilla, it possessed four limbs instead of the Skullcrawlers two, but they were all wrong. The front arms seemed to have developed in a strange misshapen way, resemble long Godzilla’s but as if stretched across a frame they weren’t built for. They were thin, to the point of being little more than skin stretched across a petite layer of musculature atop bone. A thin membrane, remnants of what should have been broader shoulders, hung limply below The body was no better, with a stick thin upper half coalescing into a fleshy misshapen hip region, with thighs that resembled tumors more than functioning legs. A long and bulbous tail followed, dragging the poor creatures weight in a way that forced it to stand upright, despite every other part of its body showing that it shouldn’t be able to stand that way, let alone move. For the most part, the being lacked Godzilla’s dorsal plates, except for a few scattered atop its neck and cranium. Unlike the king’s they were not sharp and proud, but deformed and splayed out in odd positions, resembling blobs of flesh more than individual plates. As he observers its long spindly neck, he soon came to that which rested atop it. A horrifically misshapen head, with a snout which curved upwards towards it cranium, with a layer of flesh which alternated between virtually nonexistent and inflated making its way around the skull. Its eyes were hollow, damn near lifeless.

Simmons couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How had an attempt to create a near clone of Godzilla resulted in this? As he inquired, furious in his questions, he soon gained some insight. The abnormalities were the result of the two species genetic code attempting to overwrite the other as it grew, a process only worsened by the stimulants which it was supplied. Furthermore, while the creature was physically an adult, it was incredibly small, barely bigger than Kong had been in 1973. But the worst was yet to come. The dueling genomes and accelerated growth cycle had left it effectively with the mental state of an infant despite its body being far older. This was not a prognosis that would or could improve, as the damage to its genetic structure had seemingly permanently halted brain development.

Walter Simmons was aghast. All of his money, all of his resources, and this was the best his team could provide? It was a failure. And Walter Simmons despised failure. Within minutes he ordered the team to go back to the drawing board. To figure out a new way to achieve the desired result, lest they no longer be of use to APEX. As for the aberration, it was to be terminated. It couldn’t be set free of course, that would raise suspicion. And Simmons would rather be caught dead before he let this thing face off against either of his previous mecha. So, with a flippant turn and a saunter, he ordered the poor creation to be fed to the other test subjects. Alive. It would serve as a treat for the beasts and a warning for those who had brought poor thing into this world to begin with.

Professional Website Hosting and Management Services

In today’s digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for any business or organization. A well-designed website serves as a virtual storefront, allowing you to reach a global audience and showcase your products, services, or ideas. However, creating and maintaining a website requires technical expertise, time, and resources that not everyone possesses. That’s where professional website hosting and management services come into play.

What is Website Hosting?

Website hosting refers to the process of storing your website files on a server that is connected to the internet. When someone types your website’s domain name into their browser, their device connects to the server, retrieves the website files, and displays the webpages. Website hosting is a critical component of your online presence, as it ensures your website is accessible to visitors at all times.

The Benefits of Professional Website Hosting and Management Services

While it is possible to host a website on your own, opting for professional website hosting and management services offers numerous advantages. Let’s explore some of the key benefits:

1. Reliability and Uptime:

Professional hosting providers offer reliable and secure servers, ensuring that your website is accessible to visitors around the clock. They have redundant systems in place to minimize downtime and address any technical issues promptly. This ensures a seamless browsing experience for your users, enhancing their trust and satisfaction.

2. Technical Support:

Managing a website involves dealing with technical challenges such as server configuration, software updates, and security patches. With professional hosting services, you have access to a dedicated support team that can assist you with any technical issues that arise. This allows you to focus on your core business activities while leaving the technical aspects to the experts.

3. Scalability:

As your business grows, so does the traffic to your website. Professional hosting providers offer scalable solutions that can accommodate increased traffic and ensure optimal performance. They have the infrastructure and resources to handle high volumes of visitors, preventing your website from becoming slow or unresponsive.

4. Enhanced Security:

Website security is of paramount importance, especially in an era of increasing cyber threats. Professional hosting services implement robust security measures, including firewalls, malware scanning, and regular backups, to protect your website and its data. They stay updated with the latest security protocols and continuously monitor for any potential vulnerabilities.

5. Additional Services:

Many professional hosting providers offer a range of additional services to enhance your website’s functionality and performance. These may include content delivery networks (CDNs) to improve page load speeds, SSL certificates for secure data transmission, and automatic backups to safeguard your data in case of unforeseen events.

Choosing the Right Professional Hosting Provider

With numerous hosting providers available, selecting the right one for your specific needs can be daunting. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a professional hosting provider:

1. Reliability and Uptime Guarantee:

Ensure that the hosting provider has a proven track record of reliability and offers an uptime guarantee of at least 99%. You don’t want your website to be inaccessible due to server issues or maintenance downtime.

2. Scalability Options:

Consider the scalability options offered by the hosting provider. Can they accommodate your website’s growth and handle sudden traffic spikes? A flexible hosting solution is crucial to ensure your website performs well under varying loads.

3. Security Measures:

Check the security measures implemented by the hosting provider. Are they proactive in addressing security threats? Do they offer SSL certificates, regular backups, and malware scanning? Robust security measures are essential to protect your website and sensitive data.

4. Technical Support:

Ensure that the hosting provider offers reliable and responsive technical support. Look for providers that offer 24/7 support through various channels like live chat, email, or phone. Quick assistance during emergencies can save you valuable time and prevent potential losses.

5. Pricing and Value for Money:

While cost shouldn’t be the sole deciding factor, it’s important to compare pricing plans and determine the value for money offered by different hosting providers. Consider the features, performance, and support you receive for the price you pay.

Conclusion

Professional website hosting and management services provide businesses and organizations with a reliable, secure, and scalable online infrastructure. By outsourcing the technical aspects of website management, you can focus on your core activities while ensuring an optimal user experience for your website visitors. Choosing the right hosting provider is crucial to unlock the benefits of professional website hosting and maximize your online presence.

Investing in professional hosting services is a wise decision for any business or organization that values their online presence. It allows you to leverage the expertise and infrastructure of a dedicated team while ensuring your website remains accessible, secure, and performs at its best. Don’t underestimate the impact that a well-hosted and managed website can have on your brand, customer satisfaction, and business success.

"Top Gun" School will modernize its F-16

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/18/2023 - 19:46 in Military

The U.S. Navy awarded a contract worth US$818 million to the U.S. government defense engineering company, Amentum, which is expected to allow the support and modernization of the "Aggressor" unit equipped with F-16 fighter planes operating inside the famous "Top Gun" school.

The F-16 multimission fighter is not part of the U.S. Navy's endowment but is used in a certain number to simulate enemy fighters. Since 1998, the U.S. Navy has used 26 units of the F-16 (22 monoplaces and 4 biplaces). In 2002, 14 other F-16 fighters initially planned for the Pakistan Air Force joined the prestigious "Top Gun" school at Fallon Naval Station in Nevada.

The F-16 aircraft thus complement the old Northrop F-5 E/F Tiger II, the F/A-18 Hornet and a first squadron of F-35s to simulate the latest generation of Chinese aircraft in particular. But also very useful for working on combat tactics against 5ª generation stealth aircraft.

As part of the modernization of the F-16 "Aggressor", the company Amentum will ensure the operational maintenance of the F-16 A/B/C/D aircraft and will ensure the full maintenance of the system and the support of the supply chair to ensure the continuity of flight operations. During the term of the contract, Amentum will help the U.S. Navy increase its F-16 "Aggressor" fleet at all locations.

Under the Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) contract, Amentum will provide technical, support and logistics solutions for U.S. Navy F-16 aircraft based in Fallon, Nevada.

This contract begins on August 31, 2023, has a base period of five years and an option period of three years, and is contracted through the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) supporting the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC) and the Naval Air Force Reserve, Tactical Support Wing (TSW).

One of Amentum's main objectives will be to track the cracks that appear in some of the cell partitions. This problem is not unique to F-16, it occurs in virtually all cells over time. The F-16 is designed to support a load of up to 9 Gs with a lifespan of 8,000 flight hours. In addition, the wing hardpoints have been reinforced to support the expected higher G rates. A consequence of extreme dogfights inside the "Top Gun". By strengthening this part of the aircraft, it is possible that a weaker link has been created elsewhere.

Amentum is a global leader in engineering, project management and solution integration, trusted to modernize the most critical missions in the world. Supported by a strong culture of ethics, safety and inclusion, Amentum is strongly committed to operational excellence and successful execution. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, the company employs more than 44,000 employees.
