"Most likely the situation was as follows. Hooke, not having the necessary mathematical technique, was unable to solve exactly the equations of motion obtained from the inverse square law and, in order to find the orbits, he integrated these equations numerically, graphically or on an analogue machine like the concave surface he mentioned. It is known that Hooke had such a machine: he investigated the nature of motion under various laws of attraction, modelling the attraction by the action of a surface on a weight sliding over it. (We observe that all this happened six years before Newton wrote his book and stated the general laws of mechanics. Accordings to our modern ideas, at that time there was nomechanics. Nevertheless, in these pre-mechanics times Hooke found approximate solutions of the equations of motion under the inverse square law, and Huygens stated the law of conservation of energy. It is true that Huygens did not give it in its most general form, but in his formulation the law was applicable in our case, and made it possible to realize that in the absence of air resistance the orbits of a stone inside the Earth must be closed.) Having integrated the equations of motion, Hooke drew the orbits and saw that they were similar to ellipses. This is how the word elliptoid arose. His scientific honesty did not allow him to call them ellipses, since he could not prove that they were elliptic. Hooke suggested to Newton that he do this, saying that he did not doubt that Newton with his superior methods could cope with this problem and also check that Kepler’s first law (which asserts that the planets move in ellipses) also follows from the inverse square law."

Isaac Newton Derives Kepler's Ellipses from the Law of Universal Gravitation
In my post, Johannes Kepler and Inverse-Square Laws, I wrote that Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was the first to propose an inverse-square law, for the propagation of light, but that he missed this opportunity for gravity; this task would fall on the shoulders…

🇺🇦⚔️ 🇷🇺 Last night, Russia launched a massive strike against Ukraine using an estimated more than 450 combat drones and 40 missiles, Ukrainian sources report.
According to monitoring resources, the attack included Kh-101/Kh-55 cruise missiles fired from Tu-95MS bombers, Kalibr missiles launched from the Black Sea, hypersonic Kh-47M2 missiles from the Kinzhal complex, as well as ballistic missiles 9M723 from the Iskander-M system and their North Korean counterparts, the KN-23.
The most intense strikes were recorded in Lvov and the region, Zaporozhye region, Cherkassy region, Kremenchug, Nikolaev, and Donbass. In several areas, impacts and attacks on infrastructure have been noted. In Zaporozhye and Kremenchug, industrial enterprises were damaged, and three people have been reported injured in Cherkassy.

"In its steady promotion of fiscal frugality, the Trump administration has sent the entire content production staff of Climate.gov packing as their NOAA contract expired on May 31—effectively silencing the federal government’s flagship climate propaganda platform overnight. Rebecca Lindsey, Tom Di Liberto and the rest of the once–highly paid spin doctors who churned out daily “urgent” updates on melting ice sheets and CO₂ curves received form letters informing them that their “knowledge, skills, and abilities are no longer of use to NOAA,” a fitting epitaph for a site built on relentless hype.
"For years, millions of casual web surfers landed on Climate.gov only to be lectured by animated carbon-cycle maps, sliding-scale temperature-anomaly widgets and color-coded doom gauges predicting imminent coastal calamity. All of that eye-candy is now frozen in digital amber—archived but never to be updated—so that future historians can gawp at government-sponsored hysteria in its unedited glory. No more breathless countdowns to climate Armageddon, no more click-bait pop-ups proclaiming every thunderstorm as “proof” of runaway warming. The propagandists have packed up their graph-generating noscripts and left, leaving behind only static pages that serve as curious relics of alarmist marketing."

"Others have been even more explicit about the nature of Scofield’s service to the Zionist agenda. In “Unjust War Theory: Christian Zionism and the Road to Jerusalem,” Prof. David W. Lutz writes, “Untermeyer used Scofield, a Kansas City lawyer with no formal training in theology, to inject Zionist ideas into American Protestantism. Untermeyer and other wealthy and influential Zionists whom he introduced to Scofield promoted and funded the latter’s career, including travel in Europe.”
"On one of these European trips, Oxford University Press publisher Henry Frowde “expressed immediate interest” in Scofield’s project. According to a biography of Frowde, although the OUP publisher was “[n]ot demonstrative in his religious views, all his Christian life he was associated with brethren known as ‘Exclusive.’” The “Exclusive Brethren” refers to the group of Christian evangelicals that, in an 1848 split in the Plymouth Brethren, followed John Nelson Darby, the Anglo-Irish missionary generally considered to have been the most influential figure in the development of Christian Zionism, and a major influence on Scofield."

The Scofield Bible—The Book That Made Zionists of America’s Evangelical Christians
Although the Scofield Reference Bible contains the text of the King James Authorized Version, it is not the traditional Protestant bible but Cyrus I. Scofield’s annotated commentary that is problematic.

Israeli warships have been firing on Palestinian fishers since at least 2008 (from what I saw with my own eyes in Gaza), but definitely years prior.
The Israeli army routinely abduct Palestinian fishers, steal their boats & equipment, and make it almost impossible for the fishers to make a living or catch food for their family. Prior to the ongoing Israeli genocide of Gaza, fishers were among the poorest in Gaza. (Now, nearly everyone has been rendered desperately poor and starving.)
Here's a collection of some of my writings on this:
-Israeli gunboats kidnap Gaza fisherman, peaceworkers
-Israeli naval abductions and shooting at Palestinian fishermen: it’s routine
-The words of fishermen under fire
-The Israeli navy would have already shot us by now…
-Attacked by the Israeli navy: a shelled Palestinian fishing trawler is completely destroyed
-Israeli Navy Terrorism: Destroying Boats and Lives
-One year later, young fisherman still trying to heal
-Ceasefire means nothing to Gaza fishers, under fire from Israeli navy
-Israel Pirating in Palestinian waters

#NEWS | Telegram’s #TranslateGate Enters Day 4: Translation Feature Down with No Clear Resolution
For the fourth consecutive day, Telegram users worldwide are grappling with the sudden outage of the app’s in-app translation feature, sparking widespread frustration under the hashtag #TranslateGate.
The issue, first widely reported on June 26, 2025, has affected both free and premium users across platforms, including Android, iOS, and desktop versions. Telegram confirmed the outage on X, stating the feature is “temporarily unavailable” due to “technical fixes” and should be “available again soon.” However, with no further clarification on the cause—potentially linked to backend issues or Telegram’s reliance on external APIs like Google Translate—user frustration is mounting.
