Dear Dr. Emma, I am tired of reestablishing life every time we move. It seems like I spend most of my life reinventing my circle of friends, my career and my sense of self-worth.

If there isn’t, is divorce the only way I can preserve my sense of self? — Trying to Hold OnDear Trying,I have moved 12…
Space warfare gets a formal definition thanks to a new strategic document. The U.S. Space Force released “Space Warfighting – A Framework for Planners,” which outlines possible offensive and defensive actions, respectively, such as destroying an adversary’s satellites or “escorting” satellites to protect them, Defense One’s Audrey Decker reports. The goal is to give officials a clear idea of how the Space Force, which has previously avoided publicly discussing offensive and defensive space operations, would approach conflict.The document debuts “a common framework, common lexicon that we can use in our training and in our education programs, and really write down…
The SIG Sauer P365 Fuse is the largest member of SIG Sauer’s extensive P365 product family and is a full-featured, optics-ready, striker-fired, polymer-frame 9mm pistol with a 4.3-inch carbon steel barrel and a 17-round capacity. Like virtually every other modern semi-automatic pistol, the SIG P365 Fuse operates on the tilting delayed blowback principle. Despite its overall size and capacity, the Fuse retains the same narrow width that the original P365 models are known for. For example, at its widest point, the P365 Fuse measures 1.125 inches across. Besides the thinner frame, the Fuse’s details overlap squarely with all of the…

The Space Force has defined what it means by “space warfighting” in a new document that service officials hope will give a clearer picture to guardians and joint planners of how the service plans to operate in a future conflict. The document, dubbed “Space Warfighting – A Framework for Planners,” represents the “natural maturing” of the 5-year-old Space Force, a service that once shied away from publicly saying it would conduct offensive and defensive operations in space, said Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton, Space Force deputy chief of space operations, strategy, plans, programs, and requirements. “This document is really intended to do that,…
A lot of states, especially in the Southeast, are experiencing turkey population declines. States like Tennessee and Alabama, in recent history, delayed season start dates or reduced legal hunting times to half days in attempts to combat these declines.
