Lightning lethality - F-35 weapons
In December one of Australia's two F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters notched up an important milestone with the first release of a Paveway II Laser Guided Bomb (LGB).
Nigel Pittaway | Melbourne
The event occurred during a sortie over the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR) in the US on December 14 and involved a 500lb GBU-12 weapon, which has been in service on other RAAF platforms for several years. However the occasion was significant in the fact that it marked certification of the first in a series of weapons to be cleared on the F-35A in the lead up to Australian Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in late 2020.
The GBU-12 is so far the only air to ground weapon to be certified for use on the F-35, across all nations. Together with the Raytheon AIM-120C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile (AMRAAM) beyond visual range weapon, the GBU-12 forms the baseline suite specified by both the US Marine Corps (F-35B) and US Air Force (F-35A) for their IOC milestones, which occurred in July 2015 and August 2016 respectively. This suite confers the F-35 with a limited air to air and air to ground weapons capability from the outset.
Although the deployment of the GBU-12 in December was a first for Australia, both this weapon and AMRAAM have been launched on numerous occasions during the international JSF test program.
Both weapons are able to be carried in the F-35's weapons bay – a requirement if the stealthy characteristics of the aircraft are to be maintained, and it is the dimensions of the bay which will determine which weapons will be integrated with the jet in future times.
The F-35A also has an internal GAU-22/A 25mm Gatling gun, manufactured by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and with 182 rounds of ammunition.
The GBU-12 and earlier AIM-120C-7 variant of the AMRAAM are weapons capabilities hosted within the current 'Block 3I' (Initial) software build. This baseline suite will be further expanded to include other laser and GPS-guided weapons, together with a later version of AMRAAM and the Raytheon AIM-9X-2 within visual range missile, when the 'Block 3F' (Final) software upgrade is introduced to service in 2018 or thereabouts.
Australian IOC requires this expanded range of weapons, but Stephen McDonald, Project Director for F-35 Missions Systems at Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), says all have already successfully been deployed during the F-35 test program and does not see any risk in this respect.
"The 3F software is being tested quite strongly right now," he said to ADM. "That will be delivered in 2018 and we don't go to IOC until the end of 2020, so we've got two years' float and all systems are go."
IOC and beyond
When Australian IOC is eventually achieved, the F-35 weapons suite will include the AIM-120D variant of AMRAAM, AIM-9X Block II, GBU-12 and two variants of the 1,000 lb GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM).
These weapons are initially being delivered under the aegis of Air 6000 Phases 2A/B, which is acquiring sufficient numbers of weapons and expendable countermeasures to support Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), together with five years of sustainment. bWar stocks of the weapons and countermeasures will be acquired under Air 6000 Phase 3 (air to ground) and Phase 5 (air to air).
The AIM-120D is the latest AMRAAM variant, which offers increased range, GPS-guided navigation and a two-way data link over the earlier AIM-120C-7.
The AIM-9X-2 (Block II) is a within visual range infra-red (IR) weapon which has updated electronics' systems and a new data link, which allows a Lock-On After Launch (LOAL) capability that the earlier variant does not currently boast.
RAAF Hornets and Super Hornets currently use the C-7 version of AMRAAM and the earlier version of AIM-9X is the baseline WVR weapon aboard Australia's Super Hornets and Growlers. Both AIM-120D and AIM-9X-2 are already on order for the Hornet, Super Hornet and Growler.
Two variants of the GBU-31 JDAM will be acquired; the standard Mk.84, and the BLU-109/B, which has a penetrator warhead, and also the GBU-39 250lb Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). Australia and Norway are also jointly funding the development of Nammo's APEX (Armour Piercing EXplosive) 25mm rounds for the internal gun.
One of the criticisms often levelled at the F-35 is that it doesn't have the ability to engage moving targets. A basic moving target capability is actually provided by the laser-guided GBU-12, in conjunction with the aircraft's Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS), and Stephen McDonald said this will be further enhanced in the future with the acquisition of the GBU-54 Laser JDAM.
"The GBU-54 is a laser and GPS guided weapon which is capable of engaging high-speed ground targets and the latest version of the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB-II), which is a fully-networked weapon with a tri-mode seeker that has outstanding capability against these types of targets, as well as others," he explained. "Together with an EOTS upgrade scheduled in 2022, they will make targeting moving vehicles more automated."
Maritime strike weapon
Australia and other JSF partners, such as Norway and Turkey, also have a requirement for a maritime strike weapon, which can be carried within the F-35's weapons bay, and a future software block will address this current shortcoming in the early part of the next decade.
In Australia this capability will be acquired under Air 3023 Phase 1, which was flagged in the recent Defence Portfolio Budget Statement to achieve Second Pass approval in the 2017-18 financial year, but will need to wait for the incorporation of software Block 4.2, which is due for release in the 2022/23 timeframe.
At the 2015 Avalon Air Show, then-Defence Minister Kevin Andrews announced that Australia would co-operate with the Norwegian Ministry of Defence to develop Kongsberg's Joint strike Missile (JSM) as a possible solution to the requirement.
Local Defence industry received a welcome boost with the agreement, with BAE Systems Australia tasked by the Australian Government to develop a passive radio frequency (RF) sensor for JSM, complementing the weapons' current IR seeker.
Competing with Kongsberg/BAE for the maritime strike requirement is Turkey's Roketsan, which signed an agreement with Lockheed Martin in September 2015 to co-operate on the development of the company's SOM-J stand –off cruise missile.
Future Capabilities
Aside from the maritime strike weapon (which was of no interest to the US and therefore left for international partners to develop further down the track) all the F-35 weapons currently on the roadmap are US-standard weapons, chosen initially at least to reduce program risk.
The UK however has sovereign weapons requirements which will be enabled by future software blocks which may well offer alternatives to Australia from the middle of next decade.
The first to be integrated with the JSF is MBDA ASRAAM (Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missile), which was successfully test fired from an F-35B in March. ASRAAM is no stranger to the RAAF, having been the mainstay WVR weapon on the 'Classic' Hornet for many years.
ASRAAM has recently received a technology refresh, particularly in terms of the seeker, to keep it viable until the 2040 timeframe and MBDA literature claims the weapon has70 per cent more propellant than its US rival, conferring greater range and speed and agility.

The UK has also specified MBDA's Meteor as its BVR weapon of choice, which will be integrated with Block 4 software. Meteor has recently been declared operational with the Swedish Air Force's Gripen and will also be integrated with the RAF's Typhoons and France's Rafale fighters. It is earning a reputation for a weapon which cannot be outrun, given its unique throttleable ram jet propulsion system which ensures maximum power when needed, namely in the endgame.
"Not only does Meteor have a long range, but it still has energy at that range and it is highly manoeuvrable," Andy Watson, managing director MBDA Australia explained to ADM. "Depending on the engagement geometry it has two or three times the 'no escape' zone of current BVR weapons. It offers a massive step change in missile performance at range."
The third weapon specified by the UK is also an MBDA weapon, in this instance the air to ground SPEAR. This long-range weapon featuring a multi-mode seeker, is designed to meet the threats of the future battlespace, including the ability to engage high end enemy Air Defence Systems as well as a range of static and fast moving land and sea targets.
"I sense a definite desire within Defence to step-up F-35 weapons capability from the mid-2020's and that's really the area we're interested in," Watson said.

Driffield business benefits from free training
20th December 2013 12:25pm - Return to press releases
Staff at Rafters in Driffield have benefitted from free training through East Riding College.
Six learners have recently completed NVQ courses through the College, with four doing a retail qualification and two doing team leading.
One learner, Laura Richardson, has been with the organisation since leaving school and has worked her way up to shop manager, with responsibility for 25 staff.
Owner Andy Rafter said it has been rewarding to see her develop her skills and knowledge through experience and training.
He said: "The College has really helped Laura with her development. I found she had the necessary skills in retail and she needed to develop management skills. The training that the College provided was flexible and the units within the NVQ were tailored to suit our needs."
The team leading qualification was also completed by Janet Bratley, who helps run the shop's florist department, to manage the department and its two other florists.
Mr Rafter said: "It's been wonderful to have the support of the College. I'm very grateful to the assessors for providing the training and the funding."
The team who completed retail NVQs work as shop assistants and developed their skills by covering modules such as health and safety, food safety and working in a team.
Mike Strickland, work-based training supervisor at the College, said: "The staff at Rafters are an excellent example of how work-based qualifications can be tailored according to the needs of the business and delivered flexibly and at no cost to the employer.
"A range of fee exemptions and funding initiatives are available to enable businesses to access training and qualifications for free, depending on their circumstances."

Judgment was entered the next day. 23 However, Mr. Grady did not receive a copy of the order until August 16, 2016. Then 24 the Court granted in part and denied in part Mr. Grady's motion for "relief from the 25 judgment," which effectively requested an extension of time to file a motion for 26 reconsideration and a notice of appeal. Only the former was granted. Mr. Grady now 27 moves for reconsideration. 28 // –1– 13cv2479 1 In his motion for reconsideration, Mr. Grady presents arguments that either 2 have been raised or could have been raised either in his traverse to the answer or 3 objections to the Report & Recommendation. Such arguments are not properly raised 4 in a reconsideration motion. See Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, 554 U.S. 471, 485 n.5 5 (2008) ("[A Rule 59(e) motion] 'may not be used to relitigate old matters, or to raise 6 arguments or present evidence that could have been raised prior to the entry of 7 judgment.'"); San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Auth. v.

House of Commons votes in favour of extending same-sex marriage and lifting of abortion ban in Northern Ireland
epaselect epa04761729 A woman walks past a mural of two hearts painted in rainbow colors, in Dublin, Ireland, 22 May 2015. Polling stations across Ireland have opened for the referendum on same-sex marriage, the first time a nationwide vote has been held on the issue. People may vote Yes or No to an amendment to the constitution which states, 'Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.' EPA/AIDAN CRAWLEY
MPs have voted to extend same-sex marriage to Northern Ireland, a plan the government has said it will honour despite ministerial doubts.
The House of Commons voted 383 to 73 to pass the amendment to a largely technical bill on the stalled Northern Ireland assembly. The bill was tabled by the Labour MP Conor McGinn, a longstanding campaigner for equal marriage in Northern Ireland.
The second reading vote was a free vote for MPs, as it was viewed as a matter of conscience. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where same-sex marriage is not legal.
Before the vote the Northern Ireland minister, John Penrose, said the government would honour the result: "Should this pass it will go into law," he said. "It will become part of primary legislation. And so ministers will be bound by it and the government will proceed."
In another vote MPs have voted in favour of lifting the abortion ban in Northern Ireland.
The Commons divided by 332 votes to 99 in favour of a motion that could lead to the law being changed later this year.
The motion passed by MPs says the government must lift the ban in the provice if a new executive at the Stormont assembly is not in place by October.

Q: Count circular sequences with different adjacent elements We have given $n$ and $k$ we want to count all sequences of length $n$, each element in the range $[1, k]$ such that no two adjacent elements are equal, plus the first and the last elements should be different, in other words the sequence is circle.
For example $n=4, k=2$, there are two possible orderings: $\{1,2,1,2\}$, $\{2,1,2,1\}$.
My try: Let's say $f(x)$ is the number of such sequences of length $x$ with fixed $k$.
We can see that $f(x) = k \cdot (k-1)^{x-1}$, but on this way there might be cases where the first and the last elements are equal, so we should subtract those cases from $f(x)$, now I cannot come up with formula how many such sequences exist.

A: Let $l$ be the first element of a sequence. Let's denote by $a_n$ the number of such sequences that also end with $l$, while $b_n$ shall be the number of such sequences that do not end in $l$. (I'm only ever talking about sequences that fullfill the 'no adjacent elements are equal' rule). We get
$$ f(n) = k \times b_n $$
as there are $k$ possible values for $l$ and the sequences counted by $a_n$ are exactly those that have the same first and last element, which we don't want. Also, it is easily seen that $a_1=1$ and $b_1=0$.
Further, we have for $n \ge 1$
$$a_{n+1}=b_n,$$
as there is a 1-1 correspondence between a sequence ending in $l$ of length $n+1$ and a sequence not ending in $l$ of length $n$: Just remove the last element of the former.
If we remove the last element of a sequence of length $n+1$ not ending in $l$, there are two possibilites: The (new) last element can be $l$ or something else.
Any given sequence of length $n$ ending in $l$ will be obtained this way in exactly $k-1$ ways (any of the $k-1$ non-$l$ values could have been removed).
Any given sequence of length $n$ not ending in $l$ will be obtained this way in exactly $k-2$ ways (the last element of the $n+1$-length sequence could have been anything except $l$ and the last element of the $n$-length series).
This leads to
$$ b_{n+1} = (k-1)a_n + (k-2)b_n$$
Using the above, we get
$$ b_1=0, b_2=k-1,$$
$$ b_{n+2} = (k-2)b_{n+1} + (k-1)b_n$$.
This is a recurrence relation with constant coefficients, the usual methods lead to the following formula:
$$ b_n = \frac{k-1}k\left((k-1)^{n-1} - (-1)^{n-1}\right)$$
(if you don't know about those methods, you can just prove the formula using mathematical induction).
To get the final answer, we multiplay with $k$ and get
$$ f(n) = (k-1)\left((k-1)^{n-1} - (-1)^{n-1}\right) = (k-1)^n +(k-1)(-1)^n$$

Leontyne Price, the first African American opera singer to gain international recognition, was born Feb. 10, 1927, to a working class family in Mississippi. Price, a soprano, was a 19-time Grammy Award winner. Her Grammy Awards included 13 for operatic or song recitals, five for full operas, and a special Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989, more than any other classical singer.
She gained U.S. and international acclaim in the 1950s and '60s and performed on the opera stage here and around the world until 1985. After her retirement from the opera she continued to perform in recitals and orchestral concerts for another 12 years.
Among her many honors are the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1964), the NAACP's Spingarn Medal (1965), the Kennedy Center Honors (1980), the National Medal of Arts (1985), numerous honorary degrees, In October 2008, she was one of the recipients of the first Opera Honors given by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Mary Violet Leontyne Price was born in Laurel, Mississippi. Her father worked in a lumber mill and her mother was a midwife who sang in her church choir. Given a toy piano at the age of three, Leontyne began piano lessons with a local teacher. At 14, she was taken on a school trip to hear Marian Anderson sing in Jackson, an experience she later said was inspirational for her.
As a teenager Price sang in a church choir and in the chorus at her segregated all-black high school, and earned extra money by singing at funerals and other events. She originally aimed to become a music teacher, graduating from all-black Wilberforce College, later Central State University, where she sang in the glee club and choir. Among those who encouraged her to continue studying voice was Paul Robeson, who organized a benefit concert for her that enabled her to study at Juilliard School in New York. She made her debut opera performances in the early 1950s.
As biography.com notes, "She rose to stardom as a woman of color in a time and profession where the odds were not in her favor." In February 1955, she sang Puccini's Tosca for the NBC Opera Theatre, the first African American to appear in a leading role in televised opera. Several NBC affiliates (not all Southern) canceled the broadcast in protest, but she soon performed again in three other NBC broadcasts. When Price debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in 1961, the final ovation for her and co-star Franco Corelli lasted at least 35 minutes, one of the longest in Met history.


The Corps provides combat engineering, construction and other technical support to the Sri Lankan Army and civil authorities. One of the objectives of the corps is mobility and counter mobility. That is providing mobility to friendly forces while denying movement to enemy forces. Engineers are able to conduct tasks including penetrating minefields, locating and disarming booby traps, purifying water and building roads and bridges to maintain lines of communications.


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been virtually inseparable since they tied the knot in May.
But Prince Harry jetted off on a secret trip to Botswana last week, leaving Meghan Markle behind in the UK.
Although the country has special meaning for the couple, Prince Harry spent solo time meeting senior staff and workers from the organisation Rhino Conservation Botswana, of which he is a patron.
Kensington Palace spokeswoman confirmed: "The Duke of Sussex is on a private working trip to Botswana, to join the annual general meeting for Rhino Conservation Botswana in his capacity as patron.
"He attended the board meeting in Maun and an RCB community project in Xarakao village."
According to Royal correspondent Omid Scobie, this is the second time Prince Harry has visited Botswana this year to care for the animals.
The South African organisation works to help protect and increase the populations of black and white rhinos.
It is thought that Prince Harry attended a meeting on Wednesday before touring round the project in the village. He is now believed to be back in the UK.
Speaking to Town and Country in 2015, Prince Harry explained what he does during his African visits.
He said: "I don't go on safari. I come so I can surround myself with people [working in conservation] and support them."
Botswana holds meaning for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as they jetted off to the country for a romantic African holiday on her 36th birthday last September.
For Meghan's first ever safari, the pair stayed in a luxurious tented bush camp at Meno a Kwena boasting incredible views over the Boteti River and African bush.
"I fell in love in a tent in Africa," Harry told his close friends.
He reminisced to BBC: "We camped out with each other under the stars.
The trip even meant so much that Harry sourced the diamond in Meghan's engagement ring from Botswana - the world's biggest producer.
As well as Meghan's birthday, the trip also marked the couple's first anniversary.
Botswana, a country of around two million spread over an area the size of France, has always been important to Harry.
He first visited when he was 13, two months after his mother Princess Diana died, and he has returned several times for leisure and charity work.

Q: warn: ignoring syscall mprotect(...) during simple gem5 simulation I built gem5 for X86 and am running simple configs and binaries. To be more specific, I am using following config file
gem5/configs/learning_gem5/part1/two_level.py
When I use officially provided binaries such as gem5/tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello, it gives the Hello World output without any warning. As following
Beginning simulation!
info: Entering event queue @ 0.  Starting simulation...
Hello world!
Exiting @ tick 57562000 because exiting with last active thread context

However, when I code and compile the simple hello world example, the output of the simulation still works but it gives some warnings and it takes many more ticks. As,
Beginning simulation!
info: Entering event queue @ 0.  Starting simulation...
warn: ignoring syscall access(...)
info: Increasing stack size by one page.
warn: ignoring syscall mprotect(...)
warn: ignoring syscall mprotect(...)
warn: ignoring syscall mprotect(...)
warn: ignoring syscall mprotect(...)
Hello - Custom
Exiting @ tick 883281000 because exiting with last active thread context

What is the reason for this? Is there a way to solve these warnings so that my custom coded binaries take less time (or ticks)?

A: The syscall is not implemented, but gem5 devs decided it is usually not needed for the program to run normally enough, and so marked as ignore rather than crash. Syscalls are always 1 tick in SE mode, so implementing it generally won't make much of a difference, unless you have good reason to believe otherwise due to side-effects of the call.

Q: Setting addition operator through metatable in Lua vals = { i=1, j=2}

setmetatable(vals, {
  __add = function (a, b)
    return a*b
  end,

})

sr = vals.i+vals.j
print(sr)

It prints sr as 3. The expected answer is 2 as 1*2 equals to 2. Why the addition operation (metamethod) is not getting into picture from the metatable of vars?

A: You misunderstood that a table with a metatable only fires at the table.
...not at a key/value it holds with same or different datatype.
They have not inherited the metatable.
Exception: Own implemention with __newindex
Where you can add/share the parent metatable to a new table (child then )
So look at this code and try it by yourself and understood...
vals = setmetatable({i = 1, j = 2}, {
  __add = function (left, right)
    return left.i * right -- Little change here
  end,

})

vals + 15 -- __add will trigger this and returning: 15
vals + vals.j -- __add will trigger this and returning: 2
-- Lets change vals.i
vals.i = vals + vals.j
vals + 15 -- __add will trigger this and returning: 30
vals + vals.j -- __add will trigger this and returning: 4

"Numbers do not have metatables."
The datatype string has.
for key, value in pairs(getmetatable(_VERSION)) do
  print(key, "=", value)
end
__div   =   function: 0x565e8f80
__pow   =   function: 0x565e8fa0
__sub   =   function: 0x565e9000

__index =   table: 0x5660d0b0
__unm   =   function: 0x565e8f40

And the __add is somewhat broken or not really useable...
_VERSION + 3
stdin:1: attempt to add a 'string' with a 'number'
stack traceback:
    [C]: in metamethod 'add'
    stdin:1: in main chunk

stdin:1: attempt to add a 'string' with a 'string'
stack traceback:
    [C]: in metamethod 'add'
    stdin:1: in main chunk
    [C]: in ?

Imagine numbers have all math functions as methods...
> math.pi = debug.setmetatable(math.pi, {__index = math})
-- From now every number has math methods
> print(math.maxinteger:atan2() * 2)
3.1415926535898
-- Using method on return of before used method
-- Maybe it should be called "Chaining methods"?
> print(math.pi:deg():tointeger():type())
integer
-- type() returns a string. - Lets use upper() on this...
> print(math.pi:deg():tointeger():type():upper())
INTEGER
-- Typed in  a Lua interactive console ( _VERSION = 5.4 )
-- PS: Also random() is not far away and can be
-- used directly with a number for a dice roller with
> print((1):random(6))
1
> print((1):random(6))
5
> print((1):random(6))
5
> print((1):random(6))
4
-- ;-)

Oups, how easy is this?

A: the first argument of the __add method is table type
local vals = {
    i = 1,
    j = 2
}

setmetatable(
    vals,
    {
        __add = function(tbl, value)
            return tbl.i + tbl.j + value
        end
    }
)

print(vals + 13)

Singer-actor Park Yu-chun grabbed the Rookie Actor Award at the 34th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards for "Sea Fog" on Thursday, marking a successful big-screen debut.
On the podium, the hallyu actor thanked the production crew and his fellow actors for their wonderful teamwork. "I gained a lot by simply taking part in 'Haemoo.' (I did not expect to win the honor.) I will put myself out more to enhance my acting," he said.
The film, directed by Shim Sung-bo, centers on a little-known tragedy that occurred in 2001. The crew members of the Korean fishing ship the Taechangho allegedly threw the bodies of 25 Chinese stowaways overboard after they suffocated to death. These stowaways were hiding in the vessel's fish storage compartment in order to illegally enter Korea, seeking the Korean dream.
Veteran actor Kim Yoon-shik stars as the captain of the ship. "Snowpiercer" director Bong Joon-ho served as an executive producer of the film.
The Best Film Award was presented to "Hill of Freedom", directed by Hong Sang-soo and starring Japanese actor Ryo Kase and Korean actress Moon So-ri. The awards for best lead actor and best lead actress went to Choi Min-sik of the historical film "Roaring Currents" and Chun Woo-hee of "Han Gong-ju," respectively.
The awardees were selected through a vote conducted among members of The Korean Association of Film Critics. The organization has awarded outstanding acting talents annually since 1980.

Checking in with Past YIA Recipient Dr. Weiyun Ai
September 2010: ASCO Connection recently followed up with 2005 recipient of the ASCO Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award (YIA) supported by the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO)—Weiyun Z. Ai, MD, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The YIA provides funding to young oncologists beginning their careers who may not have the full extent of resources available to them that more established researchers do. The original idea for JCO to sponsor a YIA came from George Canellos, MD, during his 1993 to 1994 tenure as ASCO's president to create an opportunity for the Journal to encourage researchers just starting out.
In the Q&A that follows, Dr. Ai provides an update on her award-winning research project: "Phase I/II Study of Intratumoral Injection of CpG 7909, a TLR9 Agonist, Combined With Local Radiation in Recurrent Low-Grade Lymphomas."
Weiyun Z. Ai, MD, PhD
AC: What were the outcomes of your research on the "Phase I/II Study of Intratumoral Injection of CpG 7909, a TLR9 Agonist, Combined With Local Radiation in Recurrent Low-Grade Lymphomas"
Dr. Ai: This clinical trial was to examine a novel immunotherapy strategy—in situ vaccination. I am happy to report that we have now completed this study and the manuscript has been accepted by JCO, which we are very excited about. We have seen clinical response among 15 treated patients. More importantly, we detected anti-tumor immune responses in some patients.
AC: How has The ASCO Cancer Foundation YIA, supported by JCO, impacted your career?
Dr. Ai: The YIA not only provided the support for protected research time, but also inspired me to continue a career in translational sciences. In addition, The ASCO Cancer Foundation YIA is so widely recognized, which has helped me expand my network among other researchers.
AC: What are you currently working on?
Dr. Ai: After a fellowship at Stanford, I joined the faculty at UCSF. Currently, I am working on a couple of trials in lymphoma and trying to establish myself as an independent investigator. I found my previous experiences with the JCO-sponsored YIA extremely beneficial in my pursuit.
AC: Is there anything else you'd like to mention?
Dr. Ai: The YIA has been instrumental in my career development; I would like to take this opportunity to thank The ASCO Cancer Foundation and JCO for their outstanding effort in grooming the next generating of oncology researchers.
Learn more about The ASCO Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award (YIA), which has helped launch the careers of Dr. Ai and more than 600 other researchers since 1984, online at www.ascocancerfoundation.org/grants.

Excitement surrounds the potential use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in our state's agricultural industry. This technology could be used to fly over pastures and check cows or to take aerial surveys of crops and spray pesticide accordingly.
The uses for this tool are impressive, but the possible economic growth is appealing as well. A recent report published by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems stated total UAV spending in the agriculture sector in South Dakota could be more than $1.4 million in 2015. The economic impact of UAV airspace integration in South Dakota could hit $9 million in the first three years and possibly will grow to over $56 million between 2015 and 2025.
I am enthusiastic for UAV technology, but there are also potential problems with their use. How to analyze and process the data, set attainable standards for possible flight failures and deal with potential connection failures are all issues that will need to be addressed.
UAVs, like other aircrafts, are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA recently released a long-awaited proposed rulemaking for the use of small UAVs. These possible guidelines cover operational limitations, operator certification and responsibilities and aircraft requirements.
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture's (SDDA) Wildland Fire Division is concerned about the use of UAVs in areas where firefighting aircraft is being utilized. There are also many questions regarding privacy, data ownership and use that will need to be addressed.
SDDA is currently reviewing the rule and has engaged with counterparts at other Midwest state departments of agriculture to determine how our agencies might influence the evolving discussion. I would encourage anyone with an interest in potential use of this technology to review the proposed regulations and weigh in with your comments before the April 24, 2015 deadline. Additional information on the proposed rulemaking and a link to submit official comments can be found at http://www.faa.gov/uas/nprm/.

Q: How to pass data between two classes? I am trying to pass user input gathered using a text field in a ViewController class to a UIView class so as to plot user inputted points using the drawRect method. I have experimented with creating a method that passes the input from the textField to a method called findXValue, but am not sure how to share that data between ViewController and graphView. Perhaps an interface covering both classes would work, but as I am unexperienced in using Xcode I have no idea of how I might do that.
Here is my code:
UIView Interface:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface graphView : UIView

@end

graphView implementation:
#import "graphView.h"

@implementation graphView

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGContextRef c = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGFloat red[4] = {1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f};
    CGContextSetStrokeColor(c, red);
    CGContextBeginPath(c);
    CGContextMoveToPoint(c, 30,30);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(c, 30.0f, 260.0f);
    CGContextStrokePath(c);

    CGContextRef d = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGContextSetStrokeColor(d, red);
    CGContextBeginPath(d);
    CGContextMoveToPoint(d, 30,260);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(d, 400.0f, 260.0f);
    CGContextStrokePath(d);
}

@end

ViewController interface:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *xTextField;

- (NSString *)findXValue:(NSString*)xValue;

@end

NSString *xValue;

ViewController implementation:
#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    NSLog(@"%@",self.xTextField.text);

    xValue = self.xTextField.text;
    [self findXValue:xValue];

    [self.xTextField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (NSString *)findXValue:(NSString*)xValue{

THANKS!

A: I would make a separate class GraphView.h (which you did) and make that a property of the viewcontroller aka with in the viewcontroller.h file put this
@property (nonatomic, strong) GraphView* graphView;

and remember to put this at the top
#import "GraphView.h"

from there you could have properties for the graphView. You could allocate the graphview when ever you need it
self.graphView = [[GraphView alloc] init];

and then call methods on that object.
if you do not know when to do that, just put it with in the
- (void)viewDidLoad {}

method. Now when you want to pass data you can call methods like
[self.graphView configureWithXPoints:xpoints];

or set properties
self.graphView.data = newData;

and that would be the gist of passing information around... between a view and a view controller. Remember the drawRect method is not called until it's time to draw so when you want it to update on the screen, you have to either manually call that or re-add that view to the viewController.

The Sveinstindur hut was previously used by farmers when gathering their sheep from the highlands, but members of Útivist rebuilt it some years ago. The old walls of stone were used, and the cultural icelandic building tradition kept. The rebuilding was a success, and the hut harmonizes with the beautiful nature. Skaftá river runs past the hut, and all around grows especially green moss.
There is no warden at the hut, but the wardens at Strútur hut and Hólaskjól also take care of Sveinstindur hut. Accommodation in Sveinstindur hut and camping there can be paid at Strútur or Hólaskjól, at Útivist's office in Reykjavík, or by putting the fee into a special container in the hut.
When driving towards Sveinstindur hut by road F208, a right turn is taken to road F235 which leads to Langisjór. South of Langisjór, close to Sveinstindur mountain, an eastward turn is taken to a path which leads down to Skaftá river, and then driven 1 km north towards the hut. GPS-waypoints of those crossroads are N64°06,456 / W18°26,765. Beware that in the early summer months there could be sandpits on the path.
If the cancellation is received 7 days before your booking or earlier, all refundable except deposit fee 1.000 kr. per pax.
It is not refundable if cancellation is received within a week before the booking.

An Awkward Conversation
This pale, decrepit vestige.
Rakash Marrech blinked and tried to focus his bleary, bloodshot eyes on the whiskey glass before him. Its level had not changed; he'd had one small sip when he poured it five hours earlier, and no more. He didn't feel like drinking – he already felt drunk, even though only that one small sip had passed his lips. Turning his head with weary lassitude, he looked at the digital clock glaring at him from the bookshelf. Two am, another four and a half hours until dawn. God, he was so tired! So washed out and worn out, dizzy and confused, unhappy and exhausted. And yet he would not allow himself to sleep, instead fighting to stay awake. It was too frightening to sleep.
He switched the television on again and started flipping channels. An improbably blonde woman who looked as if she had never in her life stepped into a kitchen, was extolling the virtues of a non-stick coated frypan. Her exhilarated energy levels and impossible vivacity irked Rakash and made him feel even more listless and faded, so he clicked the remote again.
On the news channel, a politician explained with monotonous earnestness that some country – Rakash wasn't sure which, he'd missed that part – was acting in a manner that constituted a threat to world peace. The only way to maintain that peace was to unleash a rain of bombs and missiles supplied by a coalition of accommodating allies, to blast that country back into renewed submission.
He clicked again, and watched in lazy fascination as a mythical Japanese creature called Desutoroyah spewed electric beams at a plasticised Godzilla, who returned fire in kind, while the two of them rampaged around on a model of Tokyo in the 1960's. The grainy 16mm film and the cheesy unreality of the situation – buildings were falling like badly painted blocks of foam because that's what they were – drew him in for a while, but shortly he felt his eyelids fluttering and realised that just sitting and watching this themeless havoc was sending him into a pre-sleep trance. His tiredness was beginning to overcome his fear of sleeping.
He switched off the television and got up to walk around. His limbs were unwilling and his legs jerked rather than respond smoothly to the drowsy commands of his brain. He was just so worn out! But he couldn't go to sleep again. What if he had that dream again? The one where he was smashing his way into the community hall, and then breaking tables, shattering screens and windows, beating cowed officials with relentless, pitiless fury, using his own fists, the legs of chairs and even the local magistrate's gavel.
He went to the window and looked out on his street. In the deep darkness he could barely discern the silent squadron of hoverdrones floating above each home, each marked only by its pulsing light, showing that it was capturing data. Each drones was equipped with a series of sensors that scanned the brainwaves of the people within the home below, and when the wave pattern held that distinctive combination of alpha and beta waves that signifies REM and dream-filled sleep, the drone would begin its work.
He simply could not afford to drift off to sleep and fall into a dream – if the dream harvesters were to perceive the tenor of his dreams he would surely be interrogated, and quite possibly sent away for dream therapy.
Perhaps if he slept in snatches during the daytime, he could avoid REM sleep and dreams? If he could anaesthetise himself sufficiently with alcohol, he might fall into a dreamless sleep? But he did not like alcohol very much, neither the taste not the way it made him feel, and as a consequence he didn't trust his own ability to drink enough to induce a semi-comatose state. There was nothing for it; he would have to stay awake.
A sharp rap at the front door startled him. Had he fallen asleep? He couldn't remember having walked from the window to the seat at the kitchen table, but that was where he found himself. His head had obviously been on the table, as evidenced by the little pool of drool on its surface, matched by a similar sized smear sticking stickily to his cheek. Eight minutes past two. Not enough time to have fallen properly asleep, let alone to dream. He was safe.
A second staccato tattoo on the door, this time more urgent and much louder, reminded him why he'd been shaken out of his reverie. He was still too dopey and dozy to wonder who would be knocking so forcefully on his door at this time of night, and walked in a slow daze to the vestibule to open the door. What he saw there snapped him wide awake. An officer of the Surv, whose badge identified him as Major Mulan Dibor, was standing with expectant impatience on the doorstep, and behind him stood a pair of heavily armed and armoured SWATs. The officer smiled a thin, chilly smile and said, 'Mr Marrech, is it?'
Rakash nodded dumbly, aware that this was not a social visit, yet unable to process the chain of events quickly enough to be afraid. He was so deadly tired that, it occurred to him, he may even be dreaming this scenario. He looked closely at the holobadge the officer was still holding out before him. The Surveillance Corp's logo, with its legend "To surveil and detect" emblazoned around it, looked real enough. So did the menace in officer Dibor's smile. And so, most assuredly, did the large, matt black weapons the SWATs were carrying.
The officer, obviously having concluded that he had been patient and polite long enough, pushed past Rakash and into the house, and the SWATs followed. Rakash followed them.
The officer and Rakash were seated at the kitchen table, while the SWATs stood, still holding their guns at the ready. Dibor regarded the splotch of spittle on the table and used the sleeve of his uniform to wipe it away with disdain.
'You haven't been sleeping, Mr Marrech,' he said. There was a sharp, almost a serrated edge to his voice.
'I haven't been tired,' said Rakash.
The officer chuckled lightly. He wagged his head a little too, to show that his amusement was genuine. He swung around to regard the two bulky, over-equipped SWATs, and under his gaze they both stiffened to attention, gripping their firearms even more tightly.
'Come come, Mr Marrech,' said Dibor in an indulgent tone. 'You cannot expect me to believe you are not tired? Take a look at yourself in the mirror, man. To say you look like death would be an understatement. You're decomposing right where you sit! Now please, tell me why you have not been sleeping these past three nights.'
'I have, I have,' said Rakash without even convincing himself. 'I've been sleeping every night, but perhaps not dreaming,' he offered.
Dibor watched Rakash's shifting, bloodstained eyes as he spoke, unblinking. He gave a theatrical sigh.
Mr Marrech,' he said, 'please give us some credit. The dream harvesters that come to the space above your home each night are finely calibrated instruments that are able, from a distance of up to thirty metres, to define with remarkable precision the electromagnetic waves your brain is emitting as a byproduct of its operation. They know when you are awake, they know when you are asleep, and they know very well when you are trying to stay awake in spite of overwhelming fatigue. They also, of course, know when you are dreaming, but more importantly they know what you are dreaming. Perhaps not the absolute detail, to be sure, but enough to identify the tenor and thrust of your dreams. The metadata, if you will. They know – and so, subsequently, do we – when your dreams are angry or sad, or happy, or wistful, or rebellious. And by that, combined with the other intelligence we gather as you go about your daily life, we can judge how your life is going.' He smiled another narrow, thin-lipped smile. A grimace.
'When a person like you, who has had no recent tragedy, inconvenience or trauma in their life, goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid dreaming, thus depriving us of the data we need to monitor your happiness, we become suspicious. We cannot help but conclude that there is something you are trying to hide from your government. Perhaps some anger that may later emerge as dissent, or even rebellion. Call us paranoid, but that's the way it is. If it is the case that you are having misgivings about our system, we need to do something about those misgivings. Make them go away. But there may be some other source for your unwillingness to provide us with the data we need, say, an overbearing boss, a wayward love affair, or maybe even some financial straits, that the sum and total of our admittedly extensive monitoring has not discerned. We like to give you the benefit of a doubt. So I repeat the question: why have you not been sleeping, Mr Marrech?'
Rakash tried not to writhe in his seat, then slumped forward. He was already beaten and everyone in the room knew it.
'I had a dream,' he said with infinite sadness.
'You had a dream,' Dibor said in a solicitous but mildly victorious tone.
'A bad dream,' said Rakash. 'A dream I didn't want to have, and I didn't enjoy, but I had it.'
'Mr Marrech, it pleases me to tell you that you have nothing to worry about,' said Dibor. His delivery was smooth, his voice was soothing, but there was still an undertone of intimidation and superiority. 'One of our harvesters caught the gist of your dream, and we think it's a bad dream too. But a dream is just a dream after all. We never worry about just one dream,' he said expansively. 'As long as one does not have the same or similar dreams with any regularity.' He smiled. Was it just the light, or were his teeth really pointy?
'For that may indicate that a pattern is forming, and should a pattern form, then your bad dreams can become your worst nightmare, if you catch my meaning.'
'But I don't want the dream. I didn't want that one, and I don't want another one. I can't sleep because I'm afraid I'll have another one, and that would not be good for me.' He stared sadly at the floor and counted carpet tiles.
'No, it would not,' agreed Dibor.
'So I just won't sleep,' said Rakash a touch too cheerfully, and a lot too optimistically.
'Yes. No, I am afraid that wouldn't work for us,' said Dibor, betraying no sense of emotion of any kind, let alone fear. 'You see, we have a system here. Everyone goes to sleep, everyone dreams, and we read everyone's dreams to ensure that they are happy. In that sense, the system works perfectly well. Then you come along and you try and separate yourself from the system on the strength of one bad dream. You decide you will operate independently of the system.'
He took on a look that was almost kind, and that Rakash took to be encouraging.
'Try to see it from the system's point of view just for once,' said Dibor. His voice had the soft irresistibility of cold logic, but there was also a note of passion or pride, or both; it was clear that he loved the system. 'There is only one system, and when you step outside of it, it seems as if you're trying to create a system of your own. You're effectively saying "look at me, I'm going into competition with the system." That's what the system hears. And the system doesn't like competition. It can't tolerate it. Imagine if we let you operate your own system. Pretty soon your next door neighbour, Matsushito, will decide that he will exit the system too. And then not long after that the whole street will want to be independent, and the system will fall down entirely. So even though you are by no means an essential or even an important part of the system, you are required within it.'
Tears rolled down Rakash's pale, lined face. He slumped to the table, then used his balled up fists to rub his eyes dry, applying so much more pressure than was required, it might be called savagery. When he finished his eyes were red and raw.
'But I can't! I can't go to sleep. What if I have bad dreams? What can be done?'
'Mr Marrech,' said Dibor with a careless shrug. He had already stood up and was collecting his things – his hat, his leather satchel and his tablet – to go. The two SWATs were already on the move, heading towards the door.
'As far as we are concerned, there is no problem with the system. The issue lies with you – you live within the system, and like everyone else you are expected to live by its rules. If anything here requires adjustment, it is you. I suggest that you learn – very quickly, I might add – to enjoy your role within the system, and that when you go to sleep at night, you have contented dreams. For one thing is certain,' he said, and here his voice took on a sudden icy hardness, 'you will go to sleep. Otherwise, we will return and put you to sleep. Do you understand?'
Rakash was crushed. Beaten. 'Yes,' he whispered.
'Then sweet dreams, my friend,' said Dibor, and whisked out of the room and out of the front door.
Rakash awoke, startled, at the kitchen table. It took him a moment to work out where he was and what had happened. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 5.45am. He got up and went to the window to look out at the lightening horizon, and to look straight up into the sky. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of a dream harvester, flashing green to indicate that it was carrying data, zipping off towards the city to download.


Here is the latest model I have started with Bassnoir, a very large size Space jockey derelict. He is the creative inspiration behind this project... and anyone who actually owns real Giger stuff has my attention!. So we decided to go in on this project and I finally get around to getting this finished and available for casting.
basically here I have carved out the shape of the ship, going by the giger painting and transforming it to 3D. I blended in perspectives from the Studio model just a bit for the proportions, and It is really taking shape. I have a bit of carving and shaping left to do, and then it gets covered and layered in fiberglass and metal conduits. The actual model will be about 29" long, very large, and It will be available as a large foam casting with resin skin.
So far the shape seems fine...now for the details . It's going to be a killer to do JTP!! Looking forward to see it completed.
Thanks joberg, coming from a modeling madman such as yourself is a real compliment.
I am scheming up ideas for the dome...so far on the other derelicts the domes are wrong.. but actually there is one that was produced that looked pretty good. I forgot it's manufacturer, but the only problem is that is lacked the weird curves and thus looked kinda "man made", but detail wise it was great! I think it was about 11" or something like that.
That one horn looks like a hammer.
Congrats Clutch, you win the first half of the Giger Rorschach test!
seriously..... you are right. the derelict is a composite from a Dune painting, the discarded pyramid from ALIEN and combined into basically is shoulders and head of a being with one outstretched arm holding a pistol, and one arm holding an inward pointing hammer. If the derelict is looked at from the top, it resembles a pair of legs, with the entrance (well you can figure that one out for yourself ) But a very "VENUS FLYTRAP" concept... just amazing and foreboding design.
Giger is just pure Genius... I cannot get enough of his work..
Hot. I'm interested to see the progress, very impressive start!
Last night between building another Nostromo and doing this derelict (keeps the monotony at bay) I started to form the outgrowths on the derelict. for anyone here interested in how I am doing this, because this master will be a model for display, I am having to cover it in fiberglass. First step is over the foam core adhere thin aluminum foil so the fiberglass will not eat the foam..then apply carefully strips of glass cloth, then two coats of polyester resin.
The next step is to sand the parts with a power sander (sounds intense i know ha ha) and then apply polyester filler over that to get a smooth finish after finalizing the shapes.
Here is more roughing in of the major components.
That looks good! How are you going to put the details in? Guitar cords, greeblies and the likes?
Right joberg, here will be a combination of K&S precision metals.. i.e. aluminum and soft copper tubing of various diameters, and I will restring my guitar and use many of the strings for this as well ( I have needed a reason to restring it for months now THe parts that get assembled are two tips on the front, and the pods on each arm. THe entrances I will cast and then replicate for six on the front, and then a frosted weird dome will go on top.
Today the materials arrived courtesy of Bassnoir, and so here is close to $400 in SIlicon, mother-mold material, resin, expanding foam, and other assorted supplies.
I have been told that smooth-on is better than what I was using, So I went ahead and ordered from my local distributor in Hollywood. I have never tried Smooth-On, but everyone says it is top notch.
Good stuff JTP...not only I use guitar strings but also fishing whires and cooked spagetti ...yeah; smooth-on is the product to use: every detail will be captured faithfully.
Here I am shaping the "outgrowths" on the arm that I will just refer to as the "pistol".
I apply several layers of polyester filler, sand, and leave some indented patches un-sanded as it looks like a chunks of "coating" that has fallen off. I am adding asymmetrical panels on the raised surfaced and the large "arms" of this ship.
Based on the movie, the Space Jockey Derelict is between 10,000 to 1.5 million years old. This is only logical as fossilization of any form take this much time, and in celestial time, it would be almost impossible in a cosmic scale of time that the two civilization would cross paths if the derelict were only there a couple hundred yearsThe chances almost nil.
Even though this ship is intact, I imagine there must be some wear in whatever "alien" form of wear would happen to a ship that was basically "grown" and then outfitted for interstellar flight. I am starting to get some shape out of this model, and things are starting to come together as far as the details under all of the conduits and "machinery"
Well JT, since you'd mentioned that the plans for an 11 foot Nostromo was in the pipe, why not make the Derelict ship the same as the studio size used in the movie?
Tonight I worked several hours on this maddening design, every angle one looks at is it appears different, not only in the studio model but in the movie, so I kept going back to the Giger paintings for reference to get it right.
There is solace found in the obsession of this particular spacecraft apart from the tedious and almost never ending sanding and shaping. This by far is the most complex shape I have ever done. I have the command section pretty much finished, and next the area where the horns get blended into the hull get epoxy and fiberglass for strength. I hope in the next few days to have the whole thing ready for all the conduit and detail application.
Hey this is getting there !! Can't wait to see the finished result !!!
I am starting to make some progress now, but joberg was right..detailing it is a killer.
used a lot of copper super thin rod, and so far hundreds of special "seamstress pins"
half of these pins I must cut the heads off and fashion tiny clips, and the other half I use in tandem uncut to install the conduits the way the derelict was created in the movie using nails.. pretty much the same, just on a smaller scale.
This is now three days of detailing, and ones fingers tend to ache from bending and pushing tiny pins, But the result is starting to look pretty close in my opinion. In this pic I have about 50% of the detail done in this one area...I will interweave some smaller conduits into it to match the diagonal details on the large studio derelict. I threw on some colored gradients of different colored primer for fun and to give myself an idea how far I need to for with detailing for a painted model to look decent.

Symphony extends Lin, taps Myssyk
The Richmond Symphony has extended the contract of Chia-Hsuan Lin, its associate conductor, for two more years, and has appointed Daniel Myssyk to the new position of assistant conductor.
Lin's contract extension, running through the 2019-20 season, coincides with the period during which the orchestra will be searching for a new music director to replace Steven Smith, who is leaving at the end of the 2018-19 season.
Lin, who joined the symphony in 2015, has been the principal conductor of Symphony Pops, LolliPops and Discovery concerts, and also has led classical subscription, community and tour programs.
Myssyk, who serves as director of orchestral studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and was artistic director of the Appassionata Chamber Orchestra in Montreal from 2000 to 2016, will become conductor of the Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra and will assume a leadership role in the orchestra's Young Performers Program, as well as taking conducting dates with the symphony.
Lin's extension and Myssyk's appointment were announced at the end-of-season symphony board meeting. Also announced were the appointments of two new board members: Joshua Bennett, vice president of technical services at Dominion Energy, and Samuel Koo, a former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, president of World Embrace and executive director of the Great Mountains Music Festival in his native South Korea.

FastestVPN Review (2022)
By David Morelo
FastestVPN delivers an increasingly essential service. It enables users to connect to – and browse – the internet safely, securely, and in complete privacy. Advanced features also include anti-malware and an ad blocker.
The founder of FastestVPN, Adam Miller, was good enough to answer my interview questions for this review.
The Start Of FastestVPN's Journey
FastedVPN came to life in 2017, after a surge in technological advancement led to an increase in cyber security threats. Adam explained the beginning of FastestVPN in more detail:
"FastestVPN is a Cayman Island-based VPN service, which started its journey in 2017. With lots of technological advancements, the cybersecurity threats also accelerated, and that's what triggered FastestVPN to help users' gain 100% online security. Today, we are one of the leading VPN providers in the market, offering advanced protocols along with 256-Bit AES encryption to seamlessly protect users' online identity and combat online security threats while securing connections on public Wi-Fi networks".
The quality of speed and connection security compared to the offered prices sets us apart from other top VPN brands. Our unlimited server switching feature delivers unrestrained access to global content".
An Increased Demand
Unsurprisingly, due to coronavirus, there has been a recent increase in demand for FastestVPN's services due to more people working from home. And unfortunately, statistics show that there has been a significant increase in cyber attacks following coronavirus, making especially important for people to remain vigilant and protected.
Adam spoke about the impact that COVID-19 has had on his business:
"Just like every other business, COVID-19 also impacted FastestVPN, but the effect was positive. FastestVPN drastically sold out for network security purposes. Many companies connected FastestVPN to resume remote work operations securely without hacking and intruding attempts".
How Does FastestVPN Keep You Safe Online?
FastestVPN allows for anonymity and privacy, in addition to increasing your security online. This applies both at home and when you connect to public Wi-Fi. The company uses high-end technology to enable you to connect anonymously to the internet so that you can browse, and even make online transactions, in public places without the risk of cyber threats. FastestVPN also makes use of NAT Firewall, which blocks unsolicited incoming traffic and provides an extra layer of security.
Adam told me specifically how FastestVPN works:
"FastestVPN offers a solid range of VPN servers to direct user's traffic. The selected VPN server keeps data encrypted and transmits it privately to the open internet".
Keeping customers both safe and satisfied are top on Adam's list of business priorities. He explained:
"FastestVPN's number one priority is the customer's online safety. We strive to offer the best internet protection, and if any of our customers go unsatisfied, then he/she can claim a refund within 15-days of receipt".
FastestVPN promises you can "Buy With Confidence" and offer around-the-clock support for users. There is also a selection of tutorials to help get you started with FastestVPN, as well as a list of FAQs.
Another impressive aspect is FastestVPN's outstanding customer reviews. They have been rated as "Excellent" on TrustPilot and have a Customer Trust Score of 9.5.
FastestVPN Prices And Features
If you go to the FastestVPN site at the time of writing this review, you will notice that the company is currently offering a massive 93% discount, plus 3 months for free. This is the "Happy New Year Deal". I asked Adam if the company regularly offers deals like this. He told me:
"FastestVPN is quite frequent with discounts, and therefore our regular pricing is affordable compared to others. However, right now, we are only offering limited-time deals for the new year".
The regular pricing for plans is structured as followed:
1 month plan – $10/month
1 year plan – $2.49/month
3 year plan – $1.11/per month
Plans enable users to use the service across 10 devices, which I consider to be very generous for the price. And, if you want to add more devices to your plan, you can do so easily for just $1 extra per device.
FastestVPN comes with lots of great features that users can enjoy. One of the great things about FastestVPN, is its unlimited server switching feature. This essentially means that users have no restrictions in using FastestVPN when they change locations. In fact, you can switch servers as many times as you like.
Adam considers this feature to be one of the things that set his company apart from competitors. This is what he told me about it:
"Server switching is a feature that enables users' to connect to as many regions/countries as they want. Most VPN providers don't allow users' to switch as often as they like. However, FastestVPN offers unlimited server switching that is significant to bypass worldwide content censorship.
More excellent features include:
"Blazing fast" internet speeds
Multi-platform compatibility including routers, desktops, mobiles, games consoles, smart tvs
Internet kill switch
Furthermore, Netflix and Disney Plus fans will be happy to learn that FastestVPN removes geo-restrictions of the streaming services. This means that users can access video libraries from other regions, giving them access to considerably more content.
Let's Conclude
Purchasing FastestVPN has lots of plus-points. Users will benefit greatly from the robust security measures that the company has in place, as well as the anonymity aspect of the service. I really like that FastestVPN unlocks geo-restrictions on streaming services too.
Perhaps most impressive of all though is the fantastic deals and savings that the company regularly offers. However, even if you don't get to sign up with a discount, prices are still very competitive and affordable.

Dow soars as Omicron-fueled volatility ebbs
A solid start to the week on Wall Street Monday after a volatile couple of days.
The Dow roared ahead with a 646-point gain. The S&P 500 rose 53. The Nasdaq gained 139.
Victoria Greene, chief investment officer at G-Squared Private Wealth, says the market is benefitting from a rotation back into value names that do well in an inflationary environment.
"So if you think about it, all of a sudden last week the Fed came out a little bit more hawkish, right? And kind of spooked the market. A little bit of that is tapering is going to go faster, markets pricing in three rate hikes now next year, and that scares growth a little bit more than that scares value. Typically, a rate hike inflationary environment is very good for cyclicals and value. So you're seeing the rallies in financials, industrials, energies. And that's what's really leading the market today."
Kohl's was a stand-out stock. The department store chain was urged by investor and hedge fund Engine Capital to consider putting itself up for sale or at least spin-off the retailer's e-commerce business. Kohl's responded by saying it continues to examine all opportunities for maximizing shareholder value. Kohl's jumped more than 5 percent on the day.
Tesla shares headed in the other direction. The Securities and Exchange has opened an investigation into allegations made by a Tesla whistleblower that the company did not adequately disclose risks of fire for solar panels made by Solar City either before or after Tesla bought the solar energy provider, according to documents seen by Reuters. Shares of Tesla finished with a small loss.
But there were much sharper declines for BuzzFeed. The company had a terrible debut after coming to market via a SPAC - a special purpose acquisition company. Investors wanted out of the deal before the company even went public. Shares of the digital media company slumped 11 percent.

'Halloween' and 'Glass'- Two Killer Panels for SDCC's Hall H!
Published on June 21st, 2018 | Updated on June 21st, 2018 | By FanFest
With Marvel announcing that they would not be having a panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con as well as other major studios not making appearances, attendees were left to wonder, what was left?
Deadline.com reported on Wednesday that Universal and Miramax/Blumhouse will both be headed to sunny San Diego and landing in Hall H.
Universal will be presenting M. Night Shyamalan's Glass. The film is a sequel to both Unbreakable and Split. The film centers around Unbreakable's David Dunn's pursuit of Split's Wendell Crumb. Bruce Willis and James McAvoy reprise their roles as Dunn and Crumb. Samuel L. Jackson and Anya Taylor-Joy also return along with newly added Sarah Paulson.
"Eighteen years ago I had this idea: What if comic books were based on reality? I tried to tell the story of superheros in the real world with David Dunn…Then two years ago, I got another crazy notion: What if the afflictions and disorders that everyone in society thinks make a person bad were actually gifts? And I created the origin story for an anarchist who could be good or bad." – M. Night Shyamalan @ CinemaCon
Miramax/Blumhouse will be haunting Hall H with Halloween. That's right, kids! Michael Myers! It will be a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 film. Michael returns to Haddonfield forty years after terrorizing Laurie Strode and and killing off her friends on Halloween night. Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise her role as Strode, playing her daughter will be Judy Greer and Nick Castle makes his return as Myers.
Although, Halloween (2018) is the eleventh film in the franchise including two Rob Zombie remakes, it's storyline will take place as though the others never existed. The film was co-written by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride with Green also directing.
Newly released trailer can be seen HERE.
There has been no confirmation regarding which cast members will be present for either panel as well as panel date and time.
Halloween (2018) is set for a release date of October 19, 2018. Glass will hit theaters on January 18, 2019.
San Diego Comic-Con runs July 19-22. Preview night is July 18.
Fan Fest News will keep you updated on information as it is released.
