The S5 Arrives
May 6, 2014 | Technology
The last year or so, the big debate on the best smartphone to buy was centred on whether to choose the Samsung Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5. Then last February, that discussion has been overtaken by how appealing is the new Samsung S5 which was launched at the Mobile World Congress in Spain.
The verdict (so far) from the world's technology press is that the changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary with the most outstanding features being the new 5.1-inch high definition (1080p) screen, a 16 megapixel scanner, a finger-print scanner and a heart rate scanner located next to the LED flash.
The S5 is Samsung's flagship model and buyers expect the best and latest. The heart of the smartphone is the powerful Snapdragon 800 2.5GHz quad-core processor. The skin though is still the same in plastic (and not metal as some had hoped for) and in terms of looks, it is still similar to the S4 with its rounded corners, the main differentiating feature being the back of the phone having a rubber indented case which is supposed to make it easier to hold. The back case can be replaced in various colours.
Phone security is enhanced thanks to the new finger print scanner (first introduced by iPhone) which will be welcomed as it unlocks the phone and open its use for mobile payments. It was reported that Samsung in partnership with PayPal can allow Galaxy S5 users to authorise the online payment portal to make mobile payments with a touch of a finger.
Wealth is nothing without health and the new heart rate sensor should also please users as placing a finger over the smartphone's flash will give a reading of the heart rate and together with some pre-installed apps such as a fitness tracker and pedometer means the Korean phone maker has beat Apple with a truly wearable piece of technology that appeals to fitness fanatics and those worrying about their health.
Battery life is another important area users are looking at and the S5 does not disappoint. Samsung claims thanks to a new built-in power saving mode, the removable 2,800 mAh battery life is almost doubled when the battery is low on charge – stretching up to 21 hours of talk time and more than two weeks on standby on a full charge.
File connection and transfers are also upgraded with the faster USB 3.0 connecter. The phone itself comes with 16GB and 32GB internal storage along with an extra 64GB space via a plugged-in micro-SD card. It uses the latest Android 4.4.2 Kitkat operating system and worldwide availability according to reports from Spain says it will likely be by early April.

In a previous post, I talked about what kind of visualizations would make sense for large-scale epigenomic and related data. Now, I'd like to introduce the kind of data structures we're building in the Newcastle ARIES project to support the creation of such visualizations.
Entanglement is a software platform that provides a generic, scalable, graph framework suitable for data integration applications that require embarrassing scalability. With the data sets we are currently importing, write times for Entanglement scale linearly over millions of database entities. A poster (Entanglement: Embarrassingly Scalable Graphs) and abstract for Entanglement were presented last month at the Integrative Bioinformatics 2013 symposium in IPK-Gatersleben, Germany.
Included below is the text of the abstract, together with a summary of the poster's contents.
Epigenetics is becoming a major focus of research in the area of human genetics. In addition to contributing to our knowledge of inheritance, epigenetic profiles can be used as prognostic or predictive biomarkers. Methylation of DNA in leukocytes is one of the most commonly measured forms of epigenetic modification. The ARIES project generates epigenomic information for a range of human tissues at multiple points in time. ARIES uses both Illumina Infinium 450K methylation arrays and BS-seq approaches to generate epigenetic data on a number of samples from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and their Children (ALSPAC) cohort. ALSPAC is a unique resource for studying how methylation patterns change over time. The ARIES project also provides tools and resources to the community for the interpretation of epigenomic data in the form of an integrated dataset and associated Web portal for browsing and integrative analysis of experimental methylation data. The integrated dataset includes a range of data types such as phenotypic, transcriptomic and methylation data from rodents, together with data generated by studies such as the ENCODE project.
The integration of these data is a considerable bioinformatics challenge. To meet this challenge we are developing a graph-based data integration platform, extending our previous work with the ONDEX system. We have developed a scalable, parallel graph storage system that exploits Cloud computing infrastructures for integrating data to produce graphs of entities and the relationships between them. This system, called Entanglement, has been designed to tackle the problem of scalability that is inherent in most graph-based approaches to bioinformatics data integration.
Entanglement has a number of unique features. A revision history component maintains a provenance trail that records every update to every graph entity stored in the database. Multiple graph update operations submitted to the revision history may be grouped together to form transactions. Furthermore, the revision history may be forked at arbitrary points. Branching is a powerful feature that enables one or more independent revision histories to diverge from a common origin. The branch feature is useful in situations where a set of different analyses must be performed using the same input data as a starting point. After an initial data import operation, a graph can be branched multiple times, once for each analysis that needs to be performed. Each analysis is performed within its own independent graph branch, and is potentially executed in parallel. Subsequent analyses could then create further sub-branches as required. The provenance of multiple chains of analyses (workflows) is stored as part of the graph revision history. Node and edge revisions from any branch can be queried at any time.
Data is distributed across a MongoDB cluster to provide arbitrary-scale data storage. As a result, data storage and retrieval procedures scale linearly with graph size. Graphs can be populated in parallel on multiple worker compute nodes, allowing large jobs to be farmed across local computing clusters as well as to cloud computing from commodity providers. Larger problems can be tackled by increasing the CPU and storage resources in a scalable fashion. An API provides access to a range of graph operations including rapidly cloning or merging existing graphs to form new graphs. Although the ultimate aim is a fully integrated dataset, by intentionally storing different data sources in different graphs a large amount of flexibility can be obtained.
Multiple ad-hoc integrated views can be composed by importing references to the nodes and edges in various individual dataset graphs. Entanglement also provides export utilities allowing graphs or subgraphs to be visualised and analysed in existing tools such as ONDEX or Gephi.
Domain-specific data models and queries can be built on top of the generic API provided by Entanglement. We have developed a number of data import components for parsing both ARIES-specific and publically-available data resources. A data model with project-specific node and edge definitions has also been developed.
Data integration for ARIES will ultimately require graphs containing hundreds of millions, if not billions, of graph entities. Entanglement has been shown to scale linearly with our initial ARIES datasets involving graphs with up to 50 million nodes and edges. Our results suggest that the system will scale to much larger graph sizes. Data storage capacity can be expanded by adding MongoDB servers to an existing cluster. Indexes required for efficient querying are designed to fit in memory, as long as enough machines are available to the cluster.
Entanglement is available under the Apache license at http://www.entanglementgraph.com.
I am currently working in Prof. Neil Wipat's group at Newcastle University on the ARIES project. This involves working with large amounts of epigenomics data from the ARIES project itself, as well as with all sorts of related information from external data sources.
As well as the production of an integrated data set for ARIES' nascent genome track browser, an indispensable tool for this type of data, we're working on something else very exciting: graph data. Specifically, we're trying out all sorts of visualizations for relevant data sets (including the ARIES data). Here's one I've been playing with recently.
The pink nodes represent the median beta values for methylation sites along the human genome. The lighter the pink, the less likely this particular point on the chromosome is methylated, and vice versa. At a glance, the user can see all integrated beta values (and therefore all experiments containing methylation information) for a particular chromosome location. This is a small, gene-centric graph (the gene is in green) intended for people who would like to see an overview of known experimental results for a particular gene of interest.
This is just the start; we have lots of other visualization ideas, as well as lots of ideas for the creation of novel –and interesting– types of subgraphs. Our database is huge, and the hairball of the entire thing (or just of one chromosome) is likely to not be as informative as subgraphs like this created around a particular area of interest.
But we're not just working on the export of interesting subgraphs from our graph database: my colleague Keith Flanagan has been developing a highly scalable and incredibly neat graph database built on MongoDB.
You'll probably see a lot of pictures like the one above in the coming weeks on this blog, as we experiment with visualizations and views of our data. If you're into epigenomics, and have always wanted to view your data in a particular way, please leave a comment below. I'd also love to hear your ideas about this particular visualization type. Your input would be most welcome.

1,500+ Rabbis Urge U.S. to Keep Doors Open for Refugees
During challenging times, we often turn to spiritual leaders for guidance.
Just two days before the inauguration of our next president, rabbis from across the United States have joined together to express support for welcoming refugees to this country, no matter their religion or ethnicity.
More than 1,500* rabbis have joined with HIAS to send this message, signing a powerful letter to elected officials calling on the United States to keep its doors open to refugees.
"With so many Jewish spiritual leaders stepping up and speaking out for refugees, we at HIAS are humbled and inspired by the response of the American Jewish community," said HIAS CEO and President Mark Hetfield.
Rooted in the historic experience of the Jewish community, and in recognition of the moral crossroads this country now faces regarding its treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the letter is a major statement from American faith leaders.
The letter, signed by rabbis from 48 states, reads in part, "Jewish history bears witness to the critical choice facing our country: whether to rescue those in need or to construct barriers to keep them out. Jews have seen America at its best, and we know what it looks like for our country to provide the chance at a new beginning."
"What if the whole purpose of the Exodus story was to teach me: you've been there," asked Rabbi Jill Maderer of Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, who added her name to the letter. "I am no different from the refugee."
Rabbi Moni Alfa, senior rabbi at Congregation B'nai Israel in Sacramento, added "as the daughter of an Iranian Jewish immigrant I am forever grateful that this country opened its doors to my family after the Iranian revolution, providing them with a safe haven at a dangerous time. How could I close my heart to others who seek the same things, freedom and safety, that my family needed?"
Rabbi Maderer and Rabbi Alfa's synagogues are both among more than 250 members of the HIAS Welcome Campaign, a foundational element of the growing movement in the American Jewish community to support refugees. Launched in May 2015, the campaign is a nationwide grassroots initiative empowering congregations to take action, raise awareness, volunteer, and provide direct assistance to refugees in response to the global refugee crisis.
"The leaders of our community have joined together to demonstrate the American Jewish community's steadfast commitment to the safety and dignity of refugees," commented HIAS Vice President of Community Engagement Rabbi Jennie Rosenn. "Jewish tradition teaches that every person is created in the image of God, and that we should welcome the stranger with respect and compassion. The outpouring of support from more than 1,500 rabbis, working alongside other faith and non-sectarian partners to stand up for refugees, comes at a critical moment."
The full text of the letter and complete list of signers can be found at www.hias.org/1500rabbis.

General Aircraft Monospar project update
Work on the on-going re-build of General Aircraft Monospar VH-UTH at Newark Air Museum continues to extend the knowledge of the volunteers undertaking the work on this rare airframe. Still working without any detailed plans for the ST-12 Monospar much of the most recent work has involved detailed structural items in and around the cockpit / fuselage.
Wherever possible the restoration team has been incorporating original items back into the airframe. In the cockpit the instrument panel has been reinstalled, along with most of the original instruments. Whilst the project was at Innsworth, some of the instruments were 'quarantined' and a decision is currently pending to decide whether or not these are refitted. If suitable replacements can be found these may be replaced, if not the originals will be incorporated and access to the cockpit area monitored.
Just aft of the cockpit the fuselage luggage hatch is being carefully rebuilt and this work is incorporating all of the original framework and hinges, which are contoured to the fuselage profile. However it seems likely that a new door will need to be fabricated as the original was damaged beyond repair.
A setback to the project has recently occurred with the enforced retirement of one of the team members, due to family health issues. His dedication and engineering skills will be missed, but his enforced departure will no doubt spur on the team members to continue with this project during the coming months.

Dornier 17 Interpretation Zone
Creation of £75,000 Wargaming.net Interpretation Zone for Dornier 17 at RAF Museum's West Midlands site.
In June the world witnessed the successful project to raise the only known German Dornier Do-17 bomber, from the waters of the Goodwin Sands, three miles off the coast of England.
From October 16th the general public will be able to experience a dynamic new exhibition at its Cosford site which will explore the background of this legendary aircraft and its recovery. The creation of the 'Wargaming.net Interpretation Zone' has been funded by Wargaming, an award winning global game publisher and developer.
The grant of £75,000 has allowed the Museum to work with redLoop: the Middlesex University Design and Innovation Centre, to develop new approaches to the display and interpretation of the Dornier as it is conserved. A number of interventions will tell the story of the Dornier, its recovery and conservation – in both the Museum's physical and digital spaces.
At both sites the public will also be able to see an augmented reality Dornier flying above the Museum, showing the aircraft as it would have been seen in 1940. Visitors will be able to view this through their smart phones via a newly developed app. Additionally exhibits at both sites will display multi-media content – from footage of the Dornier in action in 1940, to film of the recovery operation and the chance to witness the Dornier in action in the Wargaming release World of Warplanes.
The Museum has also tied in with organisations across the globe including the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, The Air Force Museum of New Zealand Museum plus the Pima Air & Space Museum/Arizona Aerospace Foundation to celebrate the launch of the exhibition. Visitors to those Museums will also be able to see the augmented reality Dorniers through their smart phones, hovering in situ.
The exhibition will allow the Museum to develop new education offers focussing on the STEM subjects as well as creating a space where community groups and adult education partners can take part in the Dornier experience. A new dedicated website will also be launched which will the story of the Dornier and its recovery and conservation. The website will showcase the social history behind the Dornier, the forensic science behind its discovery and recovery, archive footage from the Museum as well as user generated content. The website will develop with the Dornier project and function as an innovative hyper textual documentary for the project.
Victor Kislyi Wargaming CEO: "Wargaming is passionate about military history," said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming. "When we heard about the effort to recover the Dornier 17, we jumped in to help conserve and exhibit the plane. The new 'Wargaming.net Dornier 17 Interpretation Zone' at the RAF Museum opens up new vistas for the display and understanding of military history. Visitors of all ages will be able to interact with history in a way that has not been done before. Through augmented reality and multi-media experiences, the exhibition brings the past alive to tell the story of the Dornier 17, the pilots of 264 Squadron who shot it down, and epic struggle of the Battle of Britain. We are honored to be a part of this ground-breaking exhibition."
Royal Air Force Museum Director General, Peter Dye: "I am delighted that Wargaming are supporting Museum's Dornier project by funding the Interpretation Zone. This is innovative project and the support of Wargaming will allow us to tell the story of the aircrafts' recovery and conservation in an innovative way. Augmented reality, mobile applications and the use user generate content are new developments for the Museum and we are very excited about exploring their possibilities."
redLoop Director, Dr. Andy Bardill: "Working in partnership with the RAF Museum we have developed a 'bleeding edge' approach to interpretation in museum spaces, blending physical and digital experiences throughout the exhibition scheme. This innovative approach will provide new visitor and educational experiences and enable the museum to engage with their audiences both on their museum sites and across the world."

"Queen of the Skies" lands with a roar at Dunsfold Park
Dunsfold Park Ltd and Brooklands Museum were delighted to welcome the last Vickers VC10 to its new permanent home today (Tuesday 24 September 2013) at the famous Surrey airfield. The VC10, which carries the RAF serial number ZA150, was the very last VC10 of 54 built at Brooklands in the 1960s and was one of the last two flying with the RAF from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and retired this week after completing a total of 43,400 flying hours.
The aircraft landed on the airfield at 13:43, flown by Sqn Ldr Tim Kemp with his aircrew, co-pilot Fl Lt Shane Stiger, engineer Fl Flt Kevin Booth and Navigator Flt Lt Bruce Thompson. Over 160 visiting public joined members of the aviation teams from Dunsfold Park and Brooklands Museum to witness the final flight. Also in attendance were Lord Trefgarne, Chairman of Brooklands Museum Trust, Trustee Penelope Keith and Angela Newton, daughter of Sir George Edwards, the Managing Director of BAC while the VC10 was developed and built.
Much to the delight of the watching crowds, the VC10 did an impressive full throttle flypast down the runway ensuring everyone felt the power and enjoyed the noise of its engines one last time. Banking around the aerodrome she faultlessly landed before being towed to her final resting place.
Jim McAllister, Chief Executive of Dunsfold Park Ltd, comments, "We are absolutely delighted to have worked with Brooklands Museum to provide a new home for the Vickers 'Queen of the Skies' VC10. The Aerodrome has an illustrious aviation history which we are keen to remember and celebrate so this is a welcome addition to the Hunter, Sea Hawk and 747 which currently reside here."
ZA150 was originally built as 5H-MOG for East African Airways as a "Combi", based on the Super VC10 but with a large forward freight door – which, incidentally, greatly eased the conversion of this variant into a tanker aircraft, allowing five huge fuel tanks to be installed on the main deck. After its airline service was completed, this aircraft was stored at Filton for several years before making its first flight as a tanker in 1984.
Allan Winn, Director of Brooklands Museum, says, "It is hugely important for us to have saved this aircraft as the last heavy airliner ever to be completely built at Brooklands – and indeed in the UK. But it is also significant as its retirement marks the end of an unbroken century of front-line service by Brooklands-built aircraft with the British armed forces. That is a unique record, unchallenged by any other factory-customer relationship anywhere in the world. We are delighted that Dunsfold Park has made it possible for us to house this symbolic aircraft back in Surrey."
Longer-term arrangements for public access to the VC10 at Dunsfold Park and Wings & Wheels will be confirmed in due course.
The RAF bought 14 new VC10s in the 1960s for strategic transport and later went on to purchase aircraft retired from the commercial market, converting a further 14 into air-to-air refuelling tankers during the 1980s and '90s. In total, the RAF has operated 28 VC10s of differing variants, and the aircraft conducted a range of tasks from troop and VIP transport, aero-medical missions and air sampling after nuclear tests. In recent years the VC10s have been used solely for air-to-air refuelling, with their last missions in this role having been completed on Friday 20th September. The VC10 becomes the second longest serving type in the RAF's inventory with 47 years of service just narrowly eclipsed by the English Electric Canberra which was withdrawn in 2006.

"Queen of the Skies" retires to Dunsfold Park
Monday, September 23rd, 2013
Dunsfold Park and Brooklands Museum are pleased to announce that the last Vickers VC10 will arrive tomorrow (Tuesday 24th September) at its new permanent home, the famous Surrey airfield. The VC10, which carries the RAF serial number ZA150, was the very last VC10 of 54 built at Brooklands in the 1960s and is one of the last two flying with the RAF from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and being retired this week.
The aircraft will be landing on the airfield at 12:30* with its six-strong aircrew and will be greeted by members of the aviation teams from Dunsfold Park and Brooklands Museum.
Jim McAllister, Chief Executive of Dunsfold Park Ltd, comments, "We are absolutely delighted to be working with Brooklands Museum to provide a new home for the Vickers 'Queen of the Skies' VC10. The Aerodrome has an illustrious aviation history which we are keen to remember and celebrate so this is a welcome addition to the Hunter, Sea Hawk and 747 which currently reside here."
Dunsfold Park will be open for visitors wishing to witness this important arrival, with access via the North Gate off Stovolds Hill. If you would like to witness the VC10's final flight please email nancy.edwards@rutland.co.uk with your contact details. Longer-term arrangements for public access to the VC10 at Dunsfold Park will be confirmed in due course.

Auster Project Progressing
Work on the Auster AOP.9 in Display Hangar 1 at Newark Air Museum is progressing. The nose cowlings and panels have been de-corroded and primed and fitted to the main fuselage frames; as has the cockpit glazing. At the rear of the fuselage similar work has been completed on the fin.
The internal restoration has also progressed, with the main instrument panels now refitted and installed. Work on the project is due to continue into the late autumn / winter months.
The Auster AOP.9 was originally moved out of deep storage at the museum and into Display Hangar 1 on 31st January 2012. A survey of the fuselage framework was then undertaken with a view to allowing the long-term restoration of the airframe. A set of wings for the project remain in storage at the museum.
The precise identity of the airframe has not been fully resolved. Examination of the manufactures plate on the aircraft gave a slightly confused picture about the military serials that it may have worn.
The main plate carries the following inscriptions:
B5-10-1185 issue 72 10-9-62
Elsewhere, a modification plate on the fuselage carries the following inscription:
AUS/R -10/74 or possibly AUS/R -10/174
The various suggested identities for the airframe still have not been fully resolved. XK381 or XS238 are believed to remain possibilities, while TA200 and XR238 have also been in the frame.
Any assistance in helping to resolve this particular AOP.9's 'identity crisis' would be greatly appreciated; details can be sent in via the museum website at www.newarkairmuseum.org

Canberra PR7 to receive some TLC
Earlier in the summer Newark Air Museum was approached by Canberra cockpit owner Darren Green about the possibility of forming a restoration team to work on Canberra PR.7 WH791.
This particular airframe is on loan to the museum, so the museum trustees put Darren in contact with Terry O'Halloran a member of the 31 Squadron Association. Several years ago Terry worked on behalf of the aircraft owner to co-ordinate work on the airframe, which was undertaken by members of 31 Squadron Association and cadets from 1237 (North Hykeham) Squadron, Air Training Corps (ATC).
It has now been agreed that Darren Green and Terry O'Halloran will combine their resources and they are leading a group of Canberra enthusiasts who now plan to refurbish and repaint the airframe.
The museum trustees have recently agreed to fund the cost of paint and materials for the project. As part of this agreement it is understood that the Canberra PR7 will retain its distinctive 31 Squadron markings, but it will revert to displaying its correct serial number of WH791.
The recent spell of good weather has allowed some de-corrosion work and paint removal on the nose section of the fuselage to commence in preparation for the application of primer and paint. A detailed structural survey will be undertaken on the airframe in consultation with the museum's Restoration Manager.
Canberra PR.7 WH79, which arrived at Newark fifteen (15) years ago in autumn 1998, is one of six Canberra airframes and cockpit sections displayed at Newark Air Museum's site on the former RAF Winthorpe airfield in eastern Nottinghamshire.

Battle of the aerobatics at The Duxford Air Show this weekend
Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013
There's an array of amazing aerobatic spectaculars in store at The Duxford Air Show this weekend (Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September)!
Opening Saturday's flying display in gallic style is the Patrouille de France, the precision aerobatic display team of the French Air Force, who are one of the world's most skilled demonstration teams. They'll perform in the flying programme on Sunday, too.
On Saturday, Pete Kynsey flies the Levier Cosmic Wind, the only aircraft of its type flying anywhere in the world. This aerobatic air racer is called Ballerina II and is as nimble in the air as its name suggests.
There is no greater exponent of the Bucker Jungmann acrobatic aircraft than Anna Walker. Performing classic and competition-style aerobatics, including a challenging inverted low-level pass over the IWM Duxford airfield, Anna will be wowing the crowd on Saturday 7 September.
Also flying on Saturday, and not to be confused with the famous aerobatic act which will be closing the weekend's flying display, are The Red Sparrows, four de Havilland Chipmunk trainer aircraft which will be flying in close formation displays.
Mark Jeffries controls the skies from all angles in his Extra 330SC aircraft. Mark is nine-time British aerobatic champion and his dizzy aerobatics will have a jaw-dropping effect on air show audiences on Saturday and Sunday.
The Aerostars have been thrilling air show visitors with their tightly choreographed aerobatics, roaring radial engines and striking smoke effects for 17 years. They are a perennial favourite at IWM Duxford air shows and their imaginative displays will no doubt be a hit on the Saturday of The Duxford Air Show.
Sunday's flying programme concludes in grand style with The Red Arrows, the world-renowned and instantly-recognisable aerobatic team of the Royal Air Force.
Alongside the eye-popping, head-swivelling aerobatic thrills and spills is a range of diverse and exciting flying displays.
One of the highlights of Saturday's flying display will be the arrival of the Boeing 747-8F, operated by Stansted Airport-based Global Supply Systems Limited and leased to British Airways World Cargo, in its debut UK air show appearance.
On both Saturday and Sunday, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Avro Lancaster, Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire pay tribute to the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters Raid.
The historic jet-powered pairing of the North American F-86 Sabre and the CT-133 Shooting Star will contrast with the thunderous contemporary engines of the Eurofighter Typhoon, which can be seen later in the flying programme on Saturday and which opens the show in ferocious style on Sunday.
The daredevil Piper Cub truck-top landing is an amazing feat of skill and precision that will entrance audiences on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday's flying programme sees a demonstration of Royal Air Force capability with a search and rescue demonstration by the Westland Sea King operated by 22 Squadron at Wattisham Airfield and a display by the Shorts Tucano, operated by the Central Flying School at RAF Linton-on-Ouse.
Visitors to The Duxford Air Show will also enjoy the piston-engined power of the Grumman Bearcat and Wildcat duo; the elegance of the B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B; the powerful B-25 Mitchell, two de Havilland Vampires and a range of Supermarine Spitfires in a classic Battle of Britain tail chase with a Hispano Buchon (Messerschmitt Bf 109).
Entertainment continues across the museum throughout the day, with 1940s living history groups, children's rides, the chance to clamber aboard Duxford Aviation Society's retro airliners, fun history activities and the chance to explore the whole museum.
You can also meet Colonel Richard Graham, who flew the SR-71 Blackbird which is now on display in the American Air Museum. Colonel Graham will be hosting fascinating walk-around tours of the SR-71 Blackbird in the American Air Museum at 10.30am and noon on both days of the air show. He will also be signing copies of his new book, SR-71: The Complete Illustrated History of the Blackbird.
Join us for The Duxford Air Show, a fantastically fun flying weekend for all the family!
Advance booking has now closed but you can pay on the gate as you join us this weekend.

As the impact of climate change begins to register more dramatically around the world, the effect of rising global temperatures on the plant and animal world is a growing cause for concern. But the Amazon rainforest and the Alaskan tundra aren't the only places where human activity will decide species' fate. In New York City, a growing population encounters a complex and changing ecosystem, from coastal wetlands to vacant lots. Do the city's laws and policies do enough to protect NYC's flora and fauna? Is there a way to reconcile a growing population with an increasingly vulnerable natural world?
Moderated by City Limits' Executive Editor, Jarrett Murphy, our panel features:

Glossier announced on Tuesday that it has raised $100 million – the most money it has raised to date – in a Series D funding round led by Menlo Park-based venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. Thanks to this new splash of cash, which brings Glossier's total funding to just more than $186 million, the millennial-centric beauty company is being valued at $1.2 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Born out of IntoTheGloss – the heavily-trafficked beauty blog that Emily Weiss launched in 2010 – Glossier, a direct-to-consumer brand of beauty and skincare products, came to be in October 2014. The now 33-year old Weiss managed to parlay her website's enormous following into bona fide shoppers of her brand and its array of products, from the "Balm Dotcom" lip balms and "Boy Brow" eyebrow-shaping products to "Glossier You" fragrance and its very-recently-launched color cosmetics collection, called Play.
But do not be distracted by the brand's products. As social strategist Ana Andjelic puts it, the lion's share of Glossier's strength does not necessarily lie there. It also will not be found "in the brand's technology [or] the rate of user growth," even if its revenues more-than-doubled in 2018, exceeding the $100 million mark, thanks to a whopping 1 million new customers for the year.
"We are building an entirely new kind of beauty company: one that owns the distribution channel and makes customers our stakeholders," Weiss said in a statement on Tuesday. "Thanks to this direct relationship with our customers, we have access to endless inspiration for new products, experiences, and ways of building an enduring business—all while staying true to our core belief that beauty should be a celebration of individuality and personal choice."

Emerging adulthood is the phase between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood. Traditionally services in the behavioral health realm have been divided between systems designed for children, and systems designed for adults. Late adolescence and early adulthood are a critical period in human development, and an especially vulnerable time for those with behavioral health issues, with young adults aging out of foster care and youth systems, and some young adults experiencing the symptoms of mental illness for the first time.
In the latest edition of our newsletter, we put the focus on those emerging adults, and the ways in which adult consumers with lived experience can help to bridge the gap between systems designed for minors and organizations and services for adults. You can check it out online here on our website here: Focus 5: Emerging Adults Need Consumer Support. We hope you enjoy it, and as always, we welcome your feedback!

13 Pages On The 'Conspiracy Industry' - And TIME Gets Hardly Anything Right
In two lengthy articles on the "conspiracy industry" in the latest TIME (Nov. 25, pp. 40- 52) the two authors (David von Drehle, 'We Have Lived With It For Half A Century'; and Jack Dickey, 'Debunker Among the Buffs') try to take us back to look at that fateful day 50 years ago and the intervening years in terms of how the conspiracy meme became entrenched. But alas, the ardent truth seeker finds very little other than useless conflations, misdirection, long since exposed canards and the usual balderdash the corporate media has refined in the last 50 years to keep Americans deaf, dumb, blind and stupid.
Von Drehle in his first article, consuming nearly 10 pages, at least makes a halfway decent effort but after the first few pages it's evident he lacks the bona fides, education or determination to separate wheat from chaff in parsing conspiracy theories to do with this event. And yes, like the conspiracy zeitgeist in general, not all theories are created equal because not all theorists put in the same amount of research, hard work. This ought to be self-evident, but not to von Drehle. who first complains (p. 42) that "the number of explanations offered for that moment in Dallas is dizzying: Kennedy was murdered by a lone gunman, the Mafia, the CIA, the Military -Industrial complex, his own Secret Service, right wing millionaires, Fidel Castro, Kennedy's Vice President Lyndon Johnson".
And when the untutored reader sees this, he's inclined to agree, failing to see the components involved are muddied together, which makes it appear that the whole conception of conspiracy is absurd. But that has been the intent of the 'Mockingbird' media for as long as I can recall. For example, if one intelligently grasps that the ones who actually carried out the deed are separate from the architects, then he also sees it's stupid to single out actors as if they are all distinct possible conspirators to the same degree and with the same objectives. But had von Drehle really done his homework for the piece, especially using texts such as Donald Gibson's 'Battling Wall Street - The Kennedy Presidency', he'd have seen how the CIA, Oil, Banking, and the Military-Industrial Complex have been in bed together for decades. Hence, it's nonsense to separate the Military-Industrial Complex, the CIA and right wing OIL millionaires, when they had shared interests in seeing Kennedy killed and were linked at the hip by the backgrounds of people like Allen Dulles, H.L. Hunt. John Foster Dulles. But people like von Drehle are too lazy or intellectually incompetent to pursue the research where it leads.
As for the Mafia, as I noted in my previous FAQ (Pt. 7) it was G. Robert Blakey who incepted that nonsense to misdirect the attention of the HSCA away from the CIA. No serious researcher today believes or accepts the "mob" had anything to do with the killing in any other than a mechanics capacity, i.e. responsible for bringing in Jean Soutre- a member of the Corsican Mafia hired out of Marseilles to be one of the snipers. Former Justice Dept. specialist Walt Brown ('Treachery in Dallas' ) indicates that FOIA -released files suggest Soutre was the likely grassy knoll shooter. (Often referred to as "Badgeman" from the Mary Muchmore photo taken at the instant of the head shot).
As for LBJ no one, including me, has said he was an active participant. But no one other than a dunderhead (like Vince Bugliosi) would deny he stood to gain immensely if JFK was knocked off - since Kennedy planned to dump him from the 1964 ticket on account of the political damage from the Bobby Baker scandal. Knowing this, and there's little doubt he did, all LBJ had to do is nominally assent to an existing plan, probably made aware of by Allen Dulles. NO documents need have been signed, or actual vocal indication given. In effect, LBJ as a passive benefactor could not really be regarded as a "conspirator" as such - also because all aspects of the plan were compartmentalized. Hence, LBJ wouldn't have known the identities of any actual mechanics.
As for the Secret Service, I already dealt at length with their plausible passive role in this blog: http://brane-space.blogspot.com/2012/04/secret-service-scandalnot-first.html
The author then whines about a "forest of conspiracy theories which can swallow a person up" and which are "part scholarship, part fever dream". He goes on, his frustration obvious (ibid.):
"How easy it is to go from a split second in Dealey Plaza to a fathomless argument over the windshield damage in a presidential limousine. And from there to the idea of forged autopsy documents. And from there to the idea of multiple Oswald's.....the path forks endlessly leading everywhere and nowhere."
He then refers to "the most truly resonant image from the grisly scene" as the First Lady "on the trunk of the limousine" - but is either too lazy, too dumb or too duped to connect the dots between all of the above. He's not processing that the windshield damage constitutes physical evidence and if the limo is sent away to be dismantled and rebuilt - as LBJ ordered- then one has destroyed evidence. He's not processing that the forged autopsy documents really DO exist - and Gerald Ford was the one who altered those original documents, to change the location of the back wound higher for Arlen Specter's "single bullet theory" to work, i.e.
The initial draft of the report had stated:
"A bullet had entered his back at a point slightly above the shoulder to the right of the spine."
Ford altered it to read:
"A bullet had entered the back of his neck slightly to the right of the spine."
Clearly, Ford wanted the document to conform with the single bullet myth and would stoop to altering a document on record to attain the goal. If von Drehle had really prepared for the article he wrote he'd also have encountered the forged autopsy photos used by the Warren Commission - see the one below at left and compare to one of the actual autopsy photos (right):
If von Drehle had any rudimentary physics background - even a high school course under his belt - he'd have been able to intelligently relate the photo at right to the fact of Jackie moving across the limo to try to capture a fragment of JFK's exploded skull. Then, instead of his hyper-emotional bloviating about the "whole shocking sequence" he'd be able to make some sense of it and why exactly the conspiracy meme has been accepted by a majority of Americans (now 62% but down from 81% in 2000, probably because of the incessant media drumbeat to legitimize the Warren Commission follies)
As for von Drehle's conspiracy "forest" - that was an understandable consequence of the early days in the wake of the Warren Commission- when skeptics learned the Commission (and LBJ ) had ordered all files remain closed to the public until 2037. In this closed information arena dozens of different and widely variant theories surfaced and hundreds of books attempted to make sense of the events based on a limited constellation of accessible facts. Thanks to the Oliver Stone film 'JFK' this changed and the JFK Records Act was passed to make available millions of files by 1993. These included Oswald's CIA file : 201-289248 CI/SIG, as well as others, which finally opened the window on Oswald to serious researchers - showing he wasn't the "lone commie nut" portrayed by the Warrenites and their apologists and enablers. This was the first breakthrough paving the way to the CIA as the primary culprit.
Then, with the HSCA's exposure (mainly thanks to brave investigators like Gaeton Fonzi, Danny Hardway, Ed Lopez (author of the Lopez Report) and others, we finally saw how David Atlee Phillips used forged cable to frame Oswald for the hit. With the actual released photos of an Oswald impostor in Mexico City the framing became more evident, and the path led to assets of the Mexico City Station's Chief of Covert Action and Cuban Operations, David Atlee Phillips.
Von Drehle rambles on in his piece noting the Dallas connections to Big Oil, Clint Murchison and H.L. Hunt, as well as the right wing extremists (like Ted Dealey) ensconced there, and then mentions the attack on Adlai Stevenson, but it's all mainly a parade of incidents that he refuses to tie together - hence leaving the reader to believe we are confronting dozens of unrelated characters and coincidences. He does also mention Oswald's famous declaration at the Dallas Police station: "I am just a patsy" but evinces cluelessness at what it means. He writes:
"Exactly what he meant by this is never revealed, because instead of facing trial Oswald was shot to death on Nov. 24th while being transported from one jail cell to another."
Had von Drehle done enough research to make himself aware of David Atleee Phillips' role in framing Oswald, he'd not have wondered - despite Lee's being murdered by Jack Ruby- who later insisted he needed to go to Washington to explain. He maintained it wasn't about merely "protecting Jackie from having to testify" as the media made out. Ruby died of cancer before his final explanation emerged. Meanwhile, von Drehle and cohorts remain undisturbed by the fact that all other lone assassins proudly proclaimed their deed. Oswald, the one they insist had a "huge ego" and believed himself bigger than life, didn't. How come? They don't have any answers and are too dense to see their narrative of Oswald doesn't jibe with his patsy statement.
Then there is Jack Dickey's article which mainly extols one of the top disinformationists around, Prof. John McAdams. According to Dickey's piece, based on talking to McAdams, he is a "debunker". Just like the guys that debunk UFOs John sees his job as debunking conspiracy theories, and hence being a proper apologist (like Vince Bugliosi) for the Warren balderdash.
Long before there was Twitter, Facebook or Blogs, there was something called Usenet where entities known as "newsgroups" sprang up to encourage debate and discussion on any number of issues, topics. I had observed McAdams putdowns in the (un-moderated) newsgroup alt. conspiracy.jfk for some months before actually engaging in a one on one exchange with him. This was concerning my REAL FAQ that I had published in the newsgroup as an antidote to a pro-lone nut FAQ by frequent poster John Locke.
In one particular confrontation, McAdams complained about my reference to Jackie "climbing over the limo trunk" in an effort to retrieve part of JFK's blown out skull fragment (later inferred to be the Harper bone fragment retrieved by William Harper). He insisted she wasn't "climbing over anything" to which I then said, Ok, she's moving across it to the rear - which shows a frontal shot". He tried to "debunk" this but a picture says a thousand words. And in my FAQ Part 5 readers can see the image for themselves.
I added more kapow to my response citing her Warren Commission Testimony (from Volume Five of the special hearings) where she says:
"You know, then, there were pictures later of me climbing out the back, but I don't remember that at all."
She was referring to this Z-film image:
From her secret testimony (excised from original version), op. cit., p. 16:
"I was trying to hold his hair on. But from the front there was nothing. I suppose there must have been. But from the back you could see, you know, you were trying to hold his hair on, and his skull on."
But once again, McAdams disputed my sources and said Jackie also must have been mistaken, as there was no time at which she climbed across the trunk. SO much for John's "debunking" which is largely a matter of denying reality.
Perhaps the best information ever assembled on John McAdams (nee, "Paul Nolan") was put together by Jim Hargrove. The basic thrust is to answer questions concerning McAdams and his background because it so much seems to fit the sort of CIA assets described in the CIA document 1035-960 wherein it specifies under subsection (3b) the objective: "to employ propaganda assets to negate and refute the attacks of the critics". While TIME author Dickey waxes on about, oh no, move along, no CIA here with McAdams, he never does cite the CIA document that legitimized the role for assets including in Usenet newsgroups.
Hence, when McAdams blabs: "These people think the CIA cares about them. It does not!"
One is led to ask, 'Oh really? Then how account for the CIA document that explicitly states in one primary objective: "To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics".
How can this be reconciled with a guy who "just likes to brawl"? Well, if brawling consumes more time than useful communication about facts (like Jackie's limo trunk action) and files (like Oswald's 201-289248 CI/SIG) than one can say the objective has been achieved.
If McAdams has been a real CIA propaganda asset, it makes sense one of his first obligations would be to neutralize any outlets for serious JFK assassination discussion he doesn't control (like his moderated newsgroup). Thus his intrusions into the un-moderated group shed definite light on his intentions. Consider, for example, this McAdams post from (John McAdams) Date: 14 Feb 1997 22:17:02 -0700:
"You buffs have been cooperating marvelously with my scheme to make this group a shambles. And you know the bizarre part? My scheme is not a secret. I have publicly announced it. I have made it perfectly obvious. I have rubbed you buffs' noses in it. It's blatantly obviously to everybody."
Now, let's clear our heads and think about this a bit: Would a normal everyday professor of Political Science be doing these things? Would he be bragging about leaving a Usenet newsgroup a "shambles"? It doesn't add up. Bill Hargrove, in his "McAdams FAQ" provides the Charter Policy written by McAdams himself for his own moderated group. Reading its first paragraph sheds a lot of light:
CHARTER AND MODERATION POLICY
This group will be for the purpose of providing an area for serious discussion and research of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The group will be moderated to prevent the noise and chronic personal attacks which have plagued alt.conspiracy.jfk and made it nearly useless as a vehicle for intelligent research. Questions surrounding JFK's death have made this one of the most talked about and controversial issues of our generation. This will be the one usenet group which deals seriously with this important topic.
But as Hargrove observes:
"One supposes that since the noise and chronic personal attacks which have plagued the alt.conspiracy.jfk group were and are part of McAdams freely admitted plans to turn the group into a shambles, the moderated group can only be seen as his personal vehicle for selective manipulation of content"
Which is totally logical, and again, it comports with CIA doc. 1035-960! Hargrove then quotes McAdams from a letter written to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
"(Dr) Gary Aguilar accused me on the politics forum of being A CIA sponsored disinformationist because I was once the Marquette Official representative of the I.C.P.S.R. an utterly
unspooky social science data archive."
In truth, The ICPSR is housed in the Institute for Social Research, or ISR which itself has been documented as recipient of "spook" (e.g. CIA) research grants.
They also have a webpage:
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/
Which the interested reader can explore for himself. My own take is that it could easily be a CIA (Clandestine Operations) front for psy-ops intelligence operations which could easily include anti-conspiracy propaganda. We already know that the founder of American Propaganda – Edward Bernays – was steeped in the social sciences and firmly believed the public was too irrational to entrust to its own thought and conclusions and therefore had to be manipulated toward specific directions. In his own words:
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society"
What better way to do that than from a networked academic consortium – interwoven into all the social sciences – with access to a central data clearinghouse that's amassed everything from the latest frequency of teen pregnancies, to homicides by race or gender, or assorted other historical arcania. It's literally a propagandist's dream.
All of this leaves us with the question of why TIME would put two such dubious articles in its issue commemorating the 50th anniversary of the event. But in this case, we perhaps need some recollections of TIME's own history. If we look at TIME's background, we see that it was (and is) part of the Luce Press, including FORTUNE. As James Douglass observes[1]:
"Besides being CIA-friendly, Henry Luce was an enemy to Kennedy. In the wake of the April, 1962 steel crisis, Luce's FORTUNE magazine had implicitly warned the president, on behalf of the American business elite, to beware 'the ides of April' for his dominant role in settling the crisis".
And who can forget that the Zapruder film first came into possession of TIME, where CIA handlers attempted to exchange key frames to remove the backward head snap, providing support for the theory that a shot came from behind. Fortunately, they didn't succeed and the (Orville) Nix film shows not only the backward head snap but a piece of skull hurtling over the limo trunk. Such motions are impossible for a rear shot.
In fact, Kennedy was going up against not only U.S. Steel but powerful banking interests. As James Douglass has pointed out (ibid.), in connection with an unsigned editorial appearing in Fortune (a Luce Press magazine), betraying the extent of corporate hostility:
"The editors of Fortune knew that the decision to raise steel prices had been made by the executive committee of U.S. Steel's Board of Directors. It included top level officers from other huge financial institutions, such as Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, The First National City Bank of New York, the Prudential Insurance Company, the Ford Foundation, AT&T."
Douglass goes on to note (ibid.) that the Fortune editors themselves answered the key question of why financial interests baited Kennedy into "a vitriolic and demagogic assault". It had to do with their perception of his prior appeal not to raise prices as "a threat of jawbone control" of prices. In Douglass' own words – which I can't match:
"In plainer language, the president was acting too much like a president, rather than just another office holder beholden to the powers that be."
If readers and those interested in history truly want insight as opposed to pop bunkum and dignifying CIA assets they are better served by reading James Douglass' book JFK and the Unspeakable than TIME's nonsense. Yes, the latter is shorter, much shorter, but that alone ought to suggest why you need to dig a bit deeper. (Oh, and be sure to turn off all the morning news programs and most of the nightly ones, that keep to the propaganda of one lone nut)

!! OMG, he's naked UHGAIN: Model Charles Laurent's latest hotel room snap breaks the internet !!
Model Charles Laurent's pics last year were a Tumblr hit when it was revealed he was packing much more than a blue steel look for the camera! He recently took a more candid shoot at a hotel room which you can find after the NSFW jump, and is sure to wow!
13 Comments on "OMG, he's naked UHGAIN: Model Charles Laurent's latest hotel room snap breaks the internet"
It's funny, in the 3 pics of this celebrity on the top, neither one has a cleft chin. The pic of the towel wrapped "alleged" celebrity, does have a cleft chin. Plus the eyebrows are not the same. I would say you are posting "fake pics" and putting celebrity names to them.
Not a fake. If you follow him on Instagram he did a story with that picture but he had it covered with an emoji.
Really? In the picture on the right, you can tell he has a cleft chin–the shadow is pronounced. A quick Google search and perusal of his IG account will provide further proof. And, how can you see his eyebrows, anyway? Even if they are somewhat different, eyebrow shaping, coloring, etc., make them look very different. Each photo shoot causes him to appear different based on hair, makeup, lighting, etc. Try doing your homework before making baseless allegations of fakery.
Yeah…I think I may be getting tired of ridiculously beautiful models with big dicks.
boring.. only one person broke the Internet sadly and that was Kim Kardashian..
It's "breaking the internet" because he's literal perfection. A well-equipped adonis.

Q: How implement a Model to force clients fill at least one of two inputs in ASP.NET MVC This is My Model:
public class PhoneNumber {

    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Tel1 { get; set; }
    public string Tel2 { get; set; }
}

How can I force Clients in create action to fill at least One Tel (Tel1 or Tel2), I don't want to use any Clients Script, Or Controller Code, I just interested in use some attributes in above Model like [Required] to achieve this goal?

A: Just Change Model and use Custom Validator like this:
public class PhoneNumber : IValidatableObject {

    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Tel1 { get; set; }
    public string Tel2 { get; set; }

public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{

        var field1 = new[] { "Tel1" };
        var field2 = new[] { "Tel2" };

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Tel1))
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Tel2))
yield return new ValidationResult("At least Fill one of Tel1 or Tel2", field1);

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Tel2))
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Tel1))
yield return new ValidationResult("At least Fill one of Tel1 or Tel2", field2);
    }
}

A: This is similar to the following question which is answered here where it is suggested that you create a custom attribute.
Your model could then be written as:
[AtLeastOneRequired("Tel1", "Tel2", ErrorMessage="Please enter at least one value.")]
public class PhoneNumber {

    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Tel1 { get; set; }
    public string Tel2 { get; set; }
}

The description does describe writing javascript code to validate client side but this is optional if you only wanted to use server side validation.

A: There is no baked-in validation attribute for that but it is easy to write your own. I don't know what you mean by no client side code but it is impossible to do this kind of client side validation without any client side code (not sure if HTML5 validations is supporting this kind of validation).
Here is a sample custom validation creation step by step blog post for you:

Never know whether your meal in a French restaurant has been cooked on site with fresh ingredients or just warmed up in a microwave? In a bid to help diners distinguish, France looks set to create a new "homemade" logo for restaurant menus.
France's minister for crafts, trade and tourism Sylvia Pinel, who is due to meet restaurant and hotel-owners in Paris on Monday, will include the 'homemade' food tag as an amendment to a bill on consumption when it is scheduled to appear before the National Assembly later in the evening.
"In restoring consumer trust, this label is aimed at supporting quality restaurants," a representative of the minister told French daily Le Parisien.
According to sources cited by the newspaper, the 'homemade' label would be placed next to a dish on the menu which has been cooked on site using fresh ingredients. It is one of ten measures on consumer issues to be included in Monday evening's debate.
"We have to move towards more transparency by forcing restaurant-owners to show on their menu whether their dishes are made from industrial ingredients or not," said Socialist deputy Thomas Tévenoud, who wrote the amendment.
Monday's development is the latest chapter in an ongoing movement to restore French cuisine's once stellar global reputation.
In May, a French syndicate of restaurant-owners and hoteliers proposed to limit the label of 'restaurant' to only those establishments that use fresh produce to make their dishes themselves.
According to the 'Syndicat national des hoteliers, restaurauteurs, cafetiers et traiteurs' (National syndicate of hoteliers, restauraunt-owners, café-owners and traders, or Synhorcat), the reform is aimed at improving the information available to French diners.
A recent poll said one out of every two French consumers didn't trust restaurants.
"When they walk into a restaurant, customers don't know whether their meal was just reheated, or lovingly cooked up by a whole kitchen staff," Synhorcat president Didier Chenet told TF1 television at the time.
"With this [restaurant] label, now they will know,' he added.
As well as boosting consumer confidence and transparency, changing the way meals or restaurants are labelled could lead to a major increase in employment at French restaurants.
"Restaurants that cook on-site, using fresh ingredients, would employ more staff than those who resort to prepared meals," said Chenet.
"This [plan] could create between 20,000 and 25,000 jobs throughout the whole profession," he added.
As France's once world-beating restaurants suffer a decline in clientele, to the benefit of fast-food outlets, this week's proposal is only the latest in an ongoing movement to give back French cuisine its stellar global reputation.
In April, top chefs including Alain Ducasse and Joel Robuchon launched a new 'quality restaurant' label for establishments that prepare their own food and give diners a proper welcome.
Speaking during the launch of that campaign, world-famous Michelin-starred chef Ducasse declared: "We must not wait for things to get worse. We cannot continue to let media in the English-speaking world say 'France is not what it was' in terms of cuisine."
