tter than nothing, as the country's most prominent Iranian-German politician underlines.
Green party member of the Bundestag Omid Nouripour was born in Tehran. He stresses importance of the deal for Germany's domestic security. "No deal means no inspections, and no inspections is the best way for Iran to get the bomb on a fast track. ... But if they do not stay in the deal, it's our job as Europeans and signatories to try everything we can to keep the deal, together with the Chinese and the Russians. It's one of the bad side-effects of what Trump is doing: Pushing us into the arms of the Chinese and the Russians."
As I said, no assistant bullies. It's Bibi and his same-sex "spouse" Donnie against ALL the sane world, and now the sane world is even more firmly aligned against Mr and Mr Netanyahu.
Interesting developmentArirang reports an early-stage experiment by Korean researchers. The Center for Molecular Spectroscopy is working on ways to image internal organs with ordinary light, not X-rays or magnetic waves. They have succeeded in looking through a mouse's skull.
This latest research isn't available online yet, but an earlier paper describes the technique. It's a variation of beamforming.
Visible light, even coherent laser light, doesn't work well for imaging because tissue scatters the light. Higher frequency X-rays can penetrate better because the waves are smaller than the atoms. But the higher frequency brings with it higher energy, which can push atoms around and cause tissue damage.
These Koreans have found a trick that basically tunes in the part of the light that enters and reflects in a straight line without scattering. The trick depends on a tiny grid with even tinier pixels.
Start with a visible laser. Pass the laser light through a beam splitter. One part goes directly to half of the pixels in the grid, evenly distributed. The other split part is phase-shifted. This phase-shifted beam goes to the other half of the pixels. The output is something like a checkerboard, except that the red and black squares are different phases instead of different colors.
The neighboring pixels are small enough that they interfere with each other as they pass into the target. By changing the phase of the 'black squares', it's possible to find an interference pattern that reflects from the target more than it scatters.

Blast from the pastFDR, August 24, 1939. Message to King of Italy.
We in America, having welded a homogeneous nation out of many nationalities, often find it difficult to visualize the animosities which so often have created crises among nations of Europe which are smaller than ours in population and in territory, but we accept the fact that these nations have an absolute right to maintain their national independence if they so desire. If that be sound doctrine then it must apply to the weaker nations as well as to the stronger.
Acceptance of this means peace, because fear of aggression ends. The alternative, which means of necessity efforts by the strong to dominate the weak, will lead not only to war, but to long future years of oppression on the part of victors and to rebellion on the part of the vanquished. So history teaches us.
The facts are constant. Only the names have changed to slaughter the innocent.
This applies to modern external Hitlers like Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Trump. This applies to internal Hitlers like James Poulos. And it applies to all-consuming universe-obliterating Hitlers like Soros and Bezos.
Victors never reach the goal of total control. It works for a while, but sooner or later you're spending all of your riches and power fighting off the rebellious oppressed. There's always a Russia that refuses to be conquered, or a Deplorable who refuses to jump off the bridge.
Insatiables are insatiable. The bad part: Insatiables don't recognize limits to their own power and wealth. The good part: Insatiables ALSO don't see boundaries on their ability to steal labor from Deplorables and gold from the ground and debt from Goldman's digital printing presses. Reality clamps limits on the r
