Authorities have discovered that the remains of a murder victim, whose bones and remains were found in southwestern Oregon more than 50 years ago, belonged to a WWII veteran.

Hurdling is defined as a combination of more than one food preservation technique. The idea is to create a series of barriers for microorganisms like bacteria and fungus. These barriers act as hurdles for the microorganisms so it’s harder for them to make it into the food we eat. If the proper amount of hurdles are used, any microorganisms are overwhelmed and ultimately die so the food lasts longer. What is a Microorganism? In a food context, microorganisms are bacteria or various forms of fungus that can thrive and grow on food. The result leads to any number of diseases…
Anti-hunting groups don’t make a lot of sense to me. I get people wanting harvested animals killed humanely and not left to rot in the woods. I want that, for crying out loud, and that’s true of every hunter I know. Yet hunters are also conservationists. Not only do they help thin herds so there’s less competition for limited resources among animals like deer, but hunting license fees help fund government efforts to protect these animals.These groups don’t see it that way, which I guess is fine. Fortunately for us, though, it seems the courts…

The Army, Navy and Space Force have completed the first test at sea of an experimental electronic warfare system designed to disrupt navigation data used by enemy precision weapons.

The exponential increases in consumer tech — most notably in portable power stations and energy storage — will never cease to amaze me. This summer, I’ve been navigating the newness of homeownership, along with all the improvement projects (and power outages) that come with it. And for more than 2 months now, I’ve relied on the new Anker SOLIX S2000 for entire circuits around the home, along with weekend-long camping trips. For a 2kWh power station, it’s wickedly small, light, and well up to the task. At around 35 pounds and about the countertop real estate of a coffee maker, the…

National Hire a Veteran Day enters its 10th year on July 25 with a broader message for employers: Do not just hire veterans. Put them in jobs that use what they learned in uniform. Dan Caporale, a Marine Corps veteran and founder of Hire Our Heroes, created the observance in 2017 as a national call to action for veteran employment and challenged employers to hire veterans, retain them and give them a real path to grow. Caporale said the goal was never just awareness. Employers already knew how to say they supported veterans. He wanted a day that pushed them…

Enlisted Marine Corps ranks are broken down into three levels: Junior enlisted (E-1 through E-3) Noncommissioned officers (E-4 and E-5) Staff noncommissioned officers (E-6 through E-9) As a Marine moves up the ladder, his or her responsibility and contribution to the mission increases. This also means that those who have earned higher rank have a special responsibility to look out for the welfare of their subordinates. Marine Corps Ranks: Junior Enlisted (E-1 through E-3) Junior enlisted Marines are as vital to the Marine Corps mission as any other ranks, but their focus is on learning new technical skills and developing…
As long as guns exist, criminals will seek them. The only way that will change is if something more deadly comes onto the market and firearms become obsolete. I would say that it would also change if firearms either vanished from the face of the Earth or became nonfunctional, like in S.M. Sterling’s “Dies the Fire” series, but since that’s not remotely likely, it’s not worth delving into beyond flexing my nerd cred. How they get them will always be a matter of discussion and debate, but they’ll do whatever they can to obtain them.…
