researchers have sampled chicxulub before , but this expedition by the european consortium for ocean research drilling precisely targets a key part of the crater yet to be studied : a ring of mountains left by the asteroid . this " peak ring " is a fundamental feature of the strike and should tell researchers much more about it , says sean gulick , a geophysicist at the university of texas at austin , who co - leads the team with morgan .

the two protestors who were shot and killed on the barge were named jola ogungbeje and aroleka irwaninu . again larry bowato .

disinformation and propaganda by the oil companies have been internalised by politicians who believe that it is necessary to ‘provide incentive’ for offshore drilling to the oil companies . glossy brochures and extensive linkages with the top business schools reproduce the fiction that humans must depend on oil and gas as the principal energy source for the foreseeable decades . even with the major breakthroughs in particle physics and in the technology to deliver solar power and wind power , the entire business model of the companies continues to be predicated on an ever - increasing demand for oil . in fact , the disinformation leaders of bp consider themselves so skilled in the art of manipulation that bp has been promoting itself as an environmentally friendly company , advertising that ‘bp’ stands for ‘beyond petroleum’ .

the room is packed with people . it is a sweaty , hot delta evening . little kids peer over the shoulders of their parents outside the windows as one of the elders of the community recounts their story . it begins on monday may 25 , 1998 . the villagers say on that day more than 100 youths from 42 communities of ilajeland traveled by canoe and speedboat miles into the atlantic ocean where chevron has an offshore drilling facility , known as the parabe platform . the youths then proceeded to occupy the barge that was servicing the platform . chief nicolas amamoais an ilaje elder .

there has been a recent controversy concerning s . l . a . marshall ' s world war ii firing rates . his methodology appears not to have met modern scholarly standards , but when faced with scholarly concern about a researcher ' s methodology , a scientific approach involves replicating the research . in marshall ' s case , every available parallel scholarly study replicates his basic findings . ardant du picq ' s surveys and observations of the ancients , holmes ' s and keegan ' s numerous accounts of ineffectual firing , holmes ' s assessment of argentine firing rates in the falklands war , griffith ' s data on the extraordinarily low killing rates among napoleonic and american civil war regiments , the british army ' s laser reenactments of historical battles , the fbi ' s studies of nonfiring rates among law - enforcement officers in the 1950s and 1960s , and countless other individual and anecdotal observations all confirm marshall ' s conclusion that the vast majority of combatants throughout history , at the moment of truth when they could and should kill the enemy , have found themselves to be " conscientious objectors .

but the truth is that—linda eberhart’s classroom notwithstanding—vibrant and creative classrooms are not and never were very common . a lot of research has been done on this question over the past decade or so , and it all points to what common - sense observation also tells us : most schools have at least one terrific classroom—and sometimes more than one—but few kids have those vibrant , exciting classrooms in any given year . poor kids , latino kids , and black kids in particular have had very little access to those classrooms . for them , we run—and have run for a long time—classrooms dominated by worksheets , underprepared or overwhelmed teachers , and uninteresting curricula .

well , we’ve made it very clear that chevron continues to fish for evidence of hostage taking by these peaceful protesters . but what we know , amy , you and i and jeremy and oronto douglas were one of the first people to visit the village where this incident took place in ilajeland , and we saw clearly that there was nothing like violence involved in all of this . and i am quoting also directly from some of the documents that we saw at that time , from correspondence between chevron and the us embassy , saying that these were peaceful protesters . and we saw the villagers . we saw that there was no weapons involved .

firing rates in vietnam resulting from training or " conditioning " techniques designed to enable killing in the modern soldier . from among thousands of readers and listeners , there were two senior officers with experience in vietnam who questioned r . w . glenn ' s finding of a 95 percent firing rate among american soldiers in vietnam . in both cases their doubt was due to the fact that they had found a lack of ammunition expenditure among some soldiers in the rear of their formations . in each instance they were satisfied when it was pointed out that both marshall ' s and glenn ' s data revolved around two questions : " did you see the enemy ? " and " did you fire ? " in the jungles of vietnam there were many circumstances in which combatants were completely isolated from comrades who were only a short distance away ; but among those who did see the enemy , there appears to have been extraordinarily consistent high firing rates .

high firing rates resulting from modern training / conditioning techniques can also be seen in holmes ' s observation of british firing rates in the falklands and in fbi data on law - enforcement firing rates since the introduction of modern training techniques in the late 1960s . and initial reports from researchers using formal and informal surveys to replicate marshall ' s and glenn ' s findings all indicate universal concurrence .
