Liberty #39;s Day Out
This is an animation for my course project titled "Freedom Liberty". This was done in 2 weeks from conception to execution. However, admittedly the story suffered due to things taking up my time and tutors grilling me about changing everything at the last minute xD Animating this was done in 2 long days. Don #39;t try to understand the story, it only makes real sense with a long explanation lol 2nd time using After Effects for animation with Photoshop.

STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Hoover Institution Press today released Constitutional Conservatism: Liberty, Self-Government, and Political Moderation, by Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz contends that constitutional conservatism encompasses a distinguished tradition of defending liberty that stretches from the great eighteenth century British statesman Edmund Burke through the authoritative exposition of the Constitution in The Federalist to the high points of post-World War II American conservatism. In this book, he seeks to identify the political principles that social conservatives and libertarians should share, and clarify the common ground on which they should join forces. He argues that the top political priority for both social conservatives and limited-government conservatives should be to rally around, and rededicate themselves to conserving, the principles of liberty inscribed in the American Constitution and to pursue reform in light of them.

Conservatism is now engaged in a period of reflection that may lead to recalibration. One of the best things that could happen is for those on the right to listen to the counsel of Professor Berkowitz as he helps us to recover the constitutional connection between liberty, self-government, and political moderation rightly understood. Constitutional Conservatism is a wonderful and necessary book. In looking back, Peter Berkowitz helps us to look forward. So writes Peter Wehner, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and member of the Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations.

In an era of changing social standards and entrenched political realities, Berkowitz shows that the exercise of political moderation, understood as the ability to balance and blend worthy and conflicting political principles, is critical to the future of conservatism in America. He encourages conservatives of different stripes to remain true to their core principles while adjusting expectations of what can be achieved through democratic politics. He also urges conservatives to renew the appreciation of the limits that American constitutional government imposes on regulating citizens private lives. He concludes that the principles of liberty inscribed in the Constitution are best honored by prudently translating them into practice.

Peter Berkowitz is the Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, where he chairs the task force on national security and law and cochairs the task force on the virtues of a free society.

The immense ignorance that exists in the World is Shocking! As long as some idiot can create an Aristotelian Syllogism with one true premise and one false premise with a false conclusion that has a feed back loop of time (wait #65279; and see) and a little conspiracy. One can be a huge hit on the internet no matter how wrong they are. SchiffBots live in a cognitive haze with uninformed convictions, based on catchy slogans, and altogether vague hunches and feelings! You know "facts" ROFL!

Future explosive hotspot brewing under Samoan islands

Future explosive hotspot brewing under Samoan islands

SALT LAKE CITY The Samoan islands are lush and tropical, a place where one can relax and feel the pacific breeze. Travel 1800 miles down below the surface of the islands, though, and there's trouble brewing of explosive proportions.

A University of Utah researcher said that he's found the collision site of two continent-size "piles" of rock below the islands, and in a couple hundred million years, the area will be ready to blow.

"This is the type of mechanism that may generate massive plume eruptions, but on the timescale of 100 million to 200 million years from now," said seismologist Michael Thorne. "So don't cancel your cruises."

Thorne is lead author of a study that will appear in the latest issue of the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. He's done more computer simulations and amassed the largest set of data ever compiled to model the border between the Earth's core and the mantle just above.

After 200 days of supercomputer processing, he found that two "large low sheer velocity provinces" are colliding, creating an "ultra low velocity zone."

What does all that mean? It indicates that the mantle at that area is largely molten, so seismic waves travel through the area slower, hence "low velocity." But molten means hot, which means that the area has the potential to become very active in the future, much like Yellowstone Park currently is. Large enough to cause serious ecological devastation.

"These very large, massive eruptions may be tied to some extinction events," Thorne said.
