Human war machines don't tend
to fare well in encounters with Godzilla, who debuted on the
silver screen in 1954. However, in ''Godzilla Minus One'', a hit
with U.S. audiences after its release on Netflix in June-the
notorious kaiju finally meets his match in the form of a
bizarre-looking fighter plane called the J7W1 Shinden.
''Godzilla Minus One'' is pretty good, a Japanese film with
English dubbing, with some great flying scenes of the Shinden
attacking and killing Godzilla.

in 1962, the eponymous Drake equation sought to estimate the
number of detectable alien civilizations in the Milky Way
galaxy. This equation takes into account the average rate of
star formation in the galaxy, the fraction of those stars

planets per star that can support life. This formula also
considers what could support intelligent organisms, and
whether those organisms can develop technology capable of
contacting others.

daughter Annie and her family visited Banff in 2023.) |
The town of Banff, about
80 miles west of Calgary in southwest Alberta, sits within
Canada's oldest national park of the same name, offering
awe-inspiring mountain views at every turn, and, of course,
an abundance of outdoor recreation. In summer, two million
visitors pour into the park, but winter is noticeably
quieter. That makes it a perfect time to bundle up and enjoy
the snow-blanketed natural splendor.

of everyone's history, even yours and mine. "I
disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your
right to say it."
Evelyn
Beatrice Hall 1868 - 1956 Blacks
are only a small percentage of our community, but the courthouse
is filled with them. The halls are overflowing with black
defendants, families, and crime victims. Most whites arrive
quietly, dress appropriately, and keep their heads down. They
get in and get out as fast as they can. For blacks, the
courthouse is like a carnival. They all seem to know each other,
laughing loudly, waving, and crowding the halls. More
