  Introduction America's commitment to investment and responsibility is strong. We are a nation of entrepreneurs, who have built the largest economy in the world by investing in our future. We are also a nation with a moral obligation to help those who have served our country by providing them with the best possible support when they return home from active duty. We have made significant investments in small business owners through tax cuts and regulatory relief, which has helped create jobs, grow our economy and increase wages for American workers across all industries--including veterans who want to start their own businesses after leaving active duty service or transitioning into civilian life. Small Business Support The US government is committed to supporting small businesses. This support comes in the form of tax breaks, grants and loans, and other incentives. The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides a wide range of services for entrepreneurs looking to start or expan

Introduction The aim of this blog is to explore how happiness can be harnessed as a powerful force for good, and how it can help us build a better world. Happiness is not simply something that happens to you; it's something you create. And when we think about happiness in this way, it becomes clear that we have the power--and responsibility--to make choices that create more happiness for ourselves and others. Happiness Benefits Happiness is a powerful force. It has been shown to improve mental health, increase productivity and even make you more attractive. The benefits of happiness are many: Happy people are more likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise than unhappy people Happy people have better relationships with others Happy people live longer than unhappy ones Overcoming Sadness When you're feeling sad, it can be hard to think of anything else. But there are ways to overcome sadness and get back on track. The first step is learning how to deal with negative thoughts that ma

  Introduction For the first time in nearly 20 years, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will come together for a rare cosmic show. The planets will be aligned on May 30th with the moon appearing to pass between them. This celestial alignment is called an "opposition" because Earth's orbit around the sun crosses paths with that of another planet (or star). When this happens, we see the object from our vantage point as being opposite in its orbit around our Sun. In other words: when Earth passes between Mars and Jupiter during its journey around our Sun (which takes 365 days), we get an up-close glimpse at these distant worlds -- one that you can see through binoculars or telescopes! Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible in the night sky this month. The planets will be at their closest to each other on May 9th and 10th. This rare phenomenon is called an "opposition" when a planet is opposite the Sun in our sky and thus appea

  Introduction Elon Musk is one of the most polarizing figures in the tech world. That's not just because he has a tendency to make bold statements and take risks, but also because his companies have received criticism for their labor practices and environmental impact. But what many people don't know is that Musk has quietly been working on another side project: philanthropy. He has donated millions to various causes over the years, including $10 million toward Flint water crisis relief efforts and $1 million toward rebuilding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria devastated it last year. In this article, we'll look at how these donations fit into Musk's larger business strategy, why critics should think twice before dismissing them as mere PR stunts, and what other entrepreneurs can learn from his example (hint: it has nothing to do with being a billionaire). Tesla's Philanthropic Efforts Tesla's philanthropic efforts are largely focused on the environment. The co

Introduction Chainmail armor is a statement piece that can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender or body type. It's also one of the most popular fashion trends in modern times. Chainmail has been around for over 1,000 years and was originally used as protection against sword and arrow attacks during medieval times. The earliest forms of chainmail were made from interlocking rings made from iron or bronze; however, today they are typically made from stainless steel or aluminum wire that has been woven together into various patterns (such as diamond shapes). The popularity of this armor has skyrocketed since its introduction into mainstream fashion back in 2014 when Kanye West wore a custom-made suit covered in gold chains during his performance at The Brit Awards show held at London's O2 Arena on February 25th 2015 - which helped spark interest among celebrities like Kim Kardashian West who then started wearing pieces herself! Types of Chainmail Chainmaille is the common name

  Introduction You might not have heard of North Korea, but it's a nation with nuclear capabilities that could devastate the United States. In fact, President Biden has said that if North Korea launches a nuclear attack on America or its allies, "it will be the end of their country." The potential implications of this threat are chilling: The U.S., South Korea and Japan would suffer thousands of casualties; millions more would be displaced by radiation; and our economy would collapse as businesses shut down and investors fled stocks in fear over what might come next. The Biden Doctrine Biden's warning was dire, but not as dire as it could have been. He did not say that a nuclear strike would lead to World War III or the end of civilization as we know it. Instead, he focused on the potential consequences of North Korea's aggression and how those consequences would affect global stability. Biden told CNN: "I think there will be an enormous loss of life and prop

  Introduction to the Viasat-3 Americas Mission Viasat-3 Americas is a high-throughput satellite that provides broadband internet service to the United States and Canada. The spacecraft was built by Space Systems Loral (SSL), based on their SSL-1300 platform, and launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on August 24th, 2018. It will operate from 83 degrees West longitude over North America with an orbital inclination of 0 degrees relative to Earth's equator. The purpose of this mission is to provide Internet access for rural customers who do not currently have reliable access or cannot afford traditional broadband options like cable or DSL services; it will also serve as backup for Viasat's existing fleet of geostationary satellites serving these regions (Viasat 1 through 4). Viasat-3 Americas Launch and Design The Viasat-3 Americas mission is a multi-satellite launch that will include two satellites and one ground spare. The two ope
