Stop the Insanity. Our National Debt Now Tops $35 Trillion...
America’s political leaders have a spending problem. They know entitlement programs feature benefit promises far exceeding their tax base, but have done nothing to make them sound. Meanwhile, both parties demand more spending increases — despite the national debt soaring to $35 trillion, or more than $100,000 for each American, rich and poor alike. Under rosy assumptions, over $20 trillion in debt is projected to be added over the next decade.
Crypto Could Stave Off a U.S. Debt Crisis
The American experiment is being tested. Nowhere is this more evident than in the trajectory of the national debt. The U.S. is headed toward a predictable yet avoidable debt crisis. If nothing is done, the economy will stall while government promises of healthcare and retirement security will be broken. Cuts to national defense will put the country at risk. With no fiscal solution in sight, the crisis is likely to start with a failed Treasury auction forcing an ugly surgery on the budget.

A tribute to the late Liam Ryan, Willomere Drive, Thurles
St. John’s parable must have been written with you in mind: loaves and fishes. You multiplied both in quantities that even Jesus would have admired. And he, not having mastered the fly, fared well, feeding five thousand, with just 5 loaves and 2 fish. Long ago, any journey to Ballyragget combined both these arts: baking and fishing. Though both your parents master bakers, you would say that Seamus, your older brother, had a special touch.
Twirling, whirling, and overwhirling revisited: Viscous dynamics of rotating filaments and ribbons
Abstract When an initially straight filament is immersed in a viscous fluid and rotated at one end, the fluid resists the rotational motion and causes a buildup of twist in the object. At a critical turning frequency, the object buckles due to the elastic stresses in the material. While this instability has been extensively studied over the past 25 years, these analyses have focused narrowly on filaments with circular cross sections near the onset of the instability.
