Their progress in quantum communications is most alarming -

mainly because nobody really knows where they are with it, and it is impossible to intercept and analyze the signals.

Maybe they just launched a nonfunctional satellite to F with us.... but there are reports that they have sent a quantum transmission over 100 miles. That IS sobering

Justice Department says it mistakenly emailed link to white nationalist website

The Justice Department on Thursday said an email sent to immigration court employees this week should not have included a link to a white nationalist website.

The email, which included links to daily stories involving immigration news, included a link to a blog post on VDare, a white nationalist site, Buzzfeed News reported.

The blog post “directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs,” the immigration judges' union complained in a letter to DOJ that was obtained by Buzzfeed. “Publication and dissemination of a white supremacist, anti-Semitic website throughout the EOIR is antithetical to the goals and ideals of the Department of Justice,” the letter said.

Transgender rugby player playing with 'a smile on my face'
Born Nicholas Gareth Morgan, she played representative rugby for east Wales as a teenager.

Injury ended that initial involvement with the sport but, after a decade wrestling with gender identity and transitioning to female, Kelly is back playing - and loving it.

Having impressed in friendly fixtures for Porth Harlequins Ladies, she now hopes to compete in the Welsh women's leagues from September.

Transgender women participating in female sport is a divisive subject, and one not confined to Welsh rugby.

Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) guidelines - which are "fully committed to the principles of equality" - state Kelly can play providing her blood-measured testosterone levels are within a certain range.

And she has taken a daily dose of the female hormone oestrogen for the past 18 months.

"They don't half make you cry," she says. "My body shape, my size... it's scary the massive difference it makes. I don't think I'll ever get used to hormones."

At nearly 6ft she stands out among her team-mates, and club captain Jessica Minty-Madley recounts a time she folded an opponent "like a deckchair".
We have come full circle now. The media is overjoyed at a dude for brutalizing women. :?

Kinda curious that it's mostly biological men trannies that dominate women's sports but you never hear about someone born a woman who goes on to dominate men's sports. :suspicious:

Transgender sprinters finish 1st, 2nd at Connecticut girls indoor track championships

.....She recently finished second in the 55-meter dash at the state open indoor track championships. The winner, Terry Miller of Bloomfield High, is also transgender and set a girls state indoor record of 6.95 seconds. Yearwood finished in 7.01 seconds and the third-place competitor, who is not transgender, finished in 7.23 seconds.

Miller and Yearwood also topped the 100-meter state championships last year, and Miller won the 300 this season....

....Connecticut is one of 17 states that allow transgender high school athletes to compete without restrictions, according to Transathlete.com, which tracks state policies in high school sports across the country....

Had a brief discussion about global warming on this board and was shocked at the lack of desire for good data.

Looks as if Dr Mann, the infamous "hockey stick" graph creator,has lost his court case because he wouldn't share his data.

As he teaches at Penn State, he pulled a Sandusky on the data. Diddled it and tried to hide it.

Um... two things:
You do know that the "Hockey Stick" data has been freely accessible to all for over a decade (Right?)
and they have been made available to the court

Everything Mann used to create that graph is free and open to use

Dude. Mann started this case in 2011 and never supplied the data and calculations.

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/ ... s-case.php

"The rules of discovery provide that a litigant must make available to opposing parties documents that reasonably bear on the issues in the case. Here, it is absurd for Mann to sue Ball for libel, and then refuse to produce the documents that would have helped to show whether Ball’s statement about him–he belongs in the state pen–was true or false. The logical inference is that the R2 regression analysis and other materials, if produced, would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part."

Only by those that didn't care to understand the methodology or why a warming period simply disappeared.

Shit science.

The hockey stick may be true, but without the sharing of data, nobody can properly evaluate Mann's findings.

Did he supply his data and calculations. That is all that matters. He did not, and therefore nobody can validate his work.

Besides, you've already proven you don't even understand the basics of NOAA datasets.

Somewhere along the line, some parents of HS girls are going to sue and win a major lawsuit, which will put an end to this.

Transgenders are still generating male hormones regardless of how many surgeries they get. They need to have their own classification.

It's a weird debate, and I'm not certain what will be done. You'd think a 3rd classification would work, but then you have advocates for trans-athletes pushing back that not getting to be called male or female is itself discrimination. There's two classifications now (male and female) because without it females would naturally not fare well in most athletic contests. There are plenty of places now in the US where governing federations (high school, state, etc) don't even require medical treatments to have been begun to be considered the gender you identify with - so a guy who identifies female can compete as a female with no medical restriction at all. The argument against cis-athletes is tough luck, trans athletes have been more marginalized so they'll get the protection. Like I said, a weird debate.
