Where's your county seat? A modern mathematical method for calculating centers of geography

Peter Rogerson, Professor of Geography, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 46 minutes ago
Ten states need to move the markers. Nicolas Henderson, CC BY People have long been intrigued by figuring out the center of the places where we live. You’re probably familiar with the concept of center of population. Imagine placing an equal weight at the residential location of each individual; the center of population would be the single point on a map that balances all those weighted spots. The U.S. Census Bureau, for example, produces a map each decade showing the location of the country’s center, summarizing the geographic distribution of the national population.

*Washington Post:* *U.S. increasingly sees Iran’s hand in the arming of Bahraini militants* The men who built the secret bomb factory had been clever — suspiciously so, Bahraini investigators thought, for a gang known mostly for lobbing molotov cocktails at police. The underground complex had been hewed, foot by foot, beneath the floor of a suburban villa, with no visible traces at street level and only a single entrance, hidden behind a kitchen cabinet. But the real surprises lay inside. In one room, police found $20,000 lathes and hydraulic presses for making armor-piercing proje... more »

Peace Delegates on the Noordam – Mrs. P. Lawrence, Jane Addams, Anna Molloy Library of Congress A hundred years ago, soon after winning reelection on the campaign slogan “He kept us out of war,” President Woodrow Wilson called on the U.S. Congress to authorize “a war to end all wars.” The U.S. entry into World War I abruptly ended a different campaign to end war.

Shifting views on immigration

Ethical Technology - 19 hours ago
In 1939, the infamous ship St. Louis limped around the Atlantic and Caribbean with over 900 German Jews on board.
