Astronomers have uncovered a diverse collection of exotic extrasolar planets. While no two have been exactly alike, pretty much all of them fit under general classifications.

From large to small, we have the following types (and some key details for each one)

According to the researchers, the neocortex contains thousands of models functioning not only in hierarchy, but also in parallel. It’s an innovative theory that challenges conventional views, and may impact both artificial intelligence and neuroscience in the future.

Fafnir Vatnfall, Myanba Gorge

Myamba Gorge near the locality of Cathcart is a massive southern gorge connecting the ocean with the Australia Alps.
The Alps are starting to melt and the waterfalls here are coming to life.

Sometimes referred to as the Pulpit, local miners named this feature the Fafnir Vatnfall , after the old northern dwarf prince who through greed turned into a dragon guarding a cursed gold horde ( a fickle gold field was once found near here).

There are still plenty of local dragons here. Large (5+') monitor lizards still patrol the gorge. I had mixed luck with the dragons. The Vatnfall is still flowing lightly, but i did snap a big dragon (although that involved running from a couple of large black snakes).

If you look too long you might see other things in the water sculptured granite: a koala, a heart, a kangaroo, a slippery dip or a fleck of gold dust.

*Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher: The Military Genius of the Man Who Won the Civil War*

Two months after the publishing of his book, "Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher- The Military Genius of the Man Who Won the Civil War", Edward H. Bonekemper III gave this lecture at The Civil War Library & Museum in Philadelphia.

There are many scholars, these days, who will say that over the last 20 years, Grant has benefitted from "revisionist history" which has resurrected his trashed reputation. Depending on who is saying that he is benefitting from "revisionist" history, the word, "revisionist" can either be construed as a negative and unacceptable form of history or a positive, more in-depth form of researching history. Many historians, these days, are benefitting from recently discovered primary sources as well as so much more resources being available through digitization that historians, a mere 20 years ago, could only have dreamed of!

Bonekemper says that, as far as he's concerned, Southern historians, in order to make Robert E. Lee look like the better general during the Civil War, they needed to denegrade U.S. Grant. He also feels that Lee has gotten a free pass when it comes to some of his tactics at some of the battles!

One of the things that Southern historians have used to beat Grant over the head with was the fact that he used his troops as expendable pawns in order to beat the Confederacy. They say that Grant didn't care how many of his men he sent to their deaths through thoroughly unneeded charges and tactics because he knew that the Union had so many more men at their disposal compared to the Confederacy. Both Bonekemper and myself disagree with this Southern way of thinking. Yes, the Union army did have many more men available for service than the Confederates. Yet, any General who didn't take advantage of this fact would have been negligent in his duties. Grant was simply smart enough to know how to take advantage of this! Someone once said that quantity has a quality all it's own and this definitely applies to the way that General Grant used his armies!
