Candlegravity – Junpei
When listening to music most of us are very product-oriented. We listen to a song or an album and determine its quality based on whether we like chord progression, drum parts and not in small part how we are feeling at the time. Unless the artist is already very famous, we often don’t even bother with analysis of what they were thinking when they created their piece. Although one can see this as a natural tendency – we don’t have time for over-thinking most things in our fast-paced, adrenaline-based society – I would ask the reader/listener to sit back and do just that.

White House Letter On Syria Chemical Weapons To Senators: Read The Full Text
Our intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin. This assessment is based in part on physiological samples. Our standard of evidence must build on these intelligence assessments as we seek to establish credible and corroborated facts. For example, the chain of custody is not clear, so we cannot confirm how the exposure occurred and under what conditions. We do believe that any use of chemical weapons in Syria would very likely have originated with the Assad regime.
