Claimed Chinese Quantum Radar breakthrough would render US stealth obselete
By Matthew Griffin Security and Privacy 24th September 2016
Chinas bold claim of creating the worlds first Quantum Radar system, if true, will render US, and all stealth systems, obsolete.
This week Beijing's state media arm, the Global Times, made the bold claim that a Chinese defense contractor successfully developed the world's first Quantum Radar System and that the radar can allegedly detect objects at range of up to 62 miles (100km).
If the claim is true, and we have no corroborating evidence to suggest that it is, then this would render almost all of the US's stealth fleet, and stealth capabilities, obsolete.
Quantum radar is based on the theory of quantum entanglement and the idea that two different particles can share a relationship with one another to the point that, by studying one particle, you can learn things about the other particle, which could be miles away. These two particles are said to be entangled.
US military report recommends giving AI autonomous authority to launch nuclear weapons
In quantum radars, a photon is split by a crystal into two entangled photons, a process known as "Parametric down-conversion." The radar splits multiple photons into entangled pairs – an A and a B, so to speak. The radar systems sends one half of the pairs – the A's – via microwave beam into the air. The other half, the B's, remain back at the radar base.
By studying the photons that stay at the radar base radar operators can tell what is happening to the A's – wherever they happen to be and if the A's come into contact with an object then the way they interact with it can tell the operator how large it is, what its configuration is, how fast it's travelling, where it's headed and a lot more besides. And as you can see from the trace below, from a US miniaturized experiment back in 2012 despite all its stealth technology the B-2 looks like a B-2 – on a traditional radar scope it would be invisible.
A Quantum Radar trace of a B-2
Quantum radars defeat stealth by using subatomic particles, not radio waves and that is the main – and most significant difference between them and the traditional radar systems we rely on today. Subatomic particles don't care if an object's shape was designed to reduce a traditional, radio wave-based radar signature and furthermore quantum radar would also be immune to traditional radar jamming and spoofing methods such as radiowave radar jammers and chaff.
According to Global Times, the 14th Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) developed the radar system last month. China isn't alone in its ambitions to build a quantum radar – in 2008 Lockheed Martin was granted a patent on a theoretical design but Lockheed's plans were grander – including the ability to "visualize useful target details through background and, or camouflaging clutter, through plasma shrouds around hypersonic air vehicles, through the layers of concealment hiding underground facilities, IEDs, mines, and other threats."
DeepMind unveils the world's first test to assess dangerous AI's and algorithms
Since the 2008 patent, Lockheed's been silent on the subject of quantum radars. Given what a technological leap such a system would be, it's quite possible the research has gone "black" and been absorbed into their secretive Skunk Works division.
As for whether or not the Chinese have managed to pull of the titanic feat of creating a quantum radar system well, until there's additional proof it's hard not to be cynical but when it comes to Quantum technology China has already posted a couple of firsts and, of course, if it true then the Pentagon is going to have to re-think its stealth strategy.

Q: using io.socket.get in sails js socket.io I am using sailsjs with socket io. The sails version is 0.10.5. I have following socket client for testing:
var socketIOClient = require('socket.io-client');
var sailsIOClient = require('sails.io.js');

// Instantiate the socket client (`io`)
// (for now, you must explicitly pass in the socket.io client when using this library from Node.js)
var io = sailsIOClient(socketIOClient);

// Set some options:
// (you have to specify the host and port of the Sails backend when using this library from Node.js)
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:1337';
// ...

//Send a GET request to `http://localhost:1337/hello`:
io.socket.get('/join', function serverResponded (body, JWR) {
  // body === JWR.body
  console.log('Sails responded with: ', body);
  console.log('with headers: ', JWR.headers);
  console.log('and with status code: ', JWR.statusCode);

  // When you are finished with `io.socket`, or any other sockets you connect manually,
  // you should make sure and disconnect them, e.g.:
  //io.socket.disconnect();

  // (note that there is no callback argument to the `.disconnect` method)
});

io.socket.on('myroom', function(response){
  console.log(response);
});

In my config/routes.js, I have the following:
'get /join':'LayoutController.join'

In my api/controller/LayoutController, I have the following:
module.exports={

    join: function(req, res) {
        console.log('Inside Join');

        sails.sockets.join(req.socket,'myroom');
         res.json({message:'youve subscribed to a room'});
      }
    };

The problem I am having is that the join function inside the controller never gets fired through socket call io.socket.get('/join',...). The console.log in controller never prints and also no response back to client. If I do the same test through http, it triggers the join function. I am working with socket for the first time. Can anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong here?

A: You can try and run the get request after the socket has established connection with the server as it will act as a virtual request to the sails server over the socket. You can change the code to the following:
var socketIOClient = require('socket.io-client');
var sailsIOClient = require('sails.io.js');

var io = sailsIOClient(socketIOClient);

// Set some options:
// (you have to specify the host and port of the Sails backend when using this library from Node.js)
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:1337';
// ...

//Send a GET request to `http://localhost:1337/hello`:
io.socket.on('connect', function(){
  io.socket.get('/join', function serverResponded (body, JWR) {
    // body === JWR.body
    console.log('Sails responded with: ', body);
    console.log('with headers: ', JWR.headers);
    console.log('and with status code: ', JWR.statusCode);

    // When you are finished with `io.socket`, or any other sockets you connect manually,
    // you should make sure and disconnect them, e.g.:
    //io.socket.disconnect();

    // (note that there is no callback argument to the `.disconnect` method)
  });
});

io.socket.on('myroom', function(response){
  console.log(response);
});

This will call the route only after the socket connects. Hope this helps!

With over one hundred years of combined courtroom experience, the skilled criminal attorneys at The Kronzek Firm have provided stellar results for clients statewide. Our attorneys have taken many Felonious Assault cases to trial and won. If you need help with your case, you can contact us online or call (866) 766-5245 for immediate assistance.
What is Felonious Assault in Michigan?
The list goes on and on. Basically, if you could think of a way to use an object during an assault, it has probably been used to support a prosecution for a felonious assault.
Michigan law states that a person who assaults another individual with a pistol, gun, revolver, knife, iron bar, brass knuckles, club, or other dangerous weapon without intending to kill or inflict great bodily harm may be charged with a felony. The maximum penalty is up to 4 years in prison, a fine up to $2,000.00, or both.
Keep in mind that the term assault has more than one meaning. An assault may be nothing more than putting another person in fear of an immediate battery. The word assault is also commonly used when a battery occurs. A battery is a harmful or offensive touching. So, a Felonious Assault does not require any actual contact, but can include it. A common example of a Felonious Assault charge with no physical contact is the pointing of a gun at another person.
An assault charge is typically the classic "He said, She said" scenario. In the big picture, this scenario favors the defendant when he or she is represented by an attorney with the right combination of skill and experience. Generally, you are looking for an attorney who has won these cases at jury trial and knows how to cross examine the state's witnesses. You need an attorney who is going to listen closely to your story and figure out the best way to present that story to a jury.
Our approach involves extensive attorney / client interaction and extensive trial preparation. Putting forth the best defense to an assault with a dangerous weapon case means carefully examining every detail with the client and knowing how to approach each witness when they come to the witness stand. Excellent cross examination skills are critical.
One of the most powerful defenses in any assault case is "self defense." In some instances, the very similar defense of "defense of others" can be used to accomplish the same thing. Specifically, we use these defenses to force the prosecution to prove that your actions were not unreasonable activity in defense of self or others. It is always beneficial to require the prosecution to clear more hurdles at trial.
It takes a skilled attorney to know how to present these defenses and succeed. Our attorneys have successfully defended felonious assault cases many times using self defense as a principle defense theory.
If you or a loved one has been charged with a gun crime on school property, contact the aggressive lawyers at The Kronzek Firm. We can provide assistance at all stages of a criminal case—even before charges are filed. Don't wait. Let us provide you with the peace of mind that comes from working closely with an expert Michigan criminal defense attorney. Contact us at (866) 766-5245.

Executive Committee members also serve as LFCC members, and in this role exercise general oversight over the Combined Federal Campaign. The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
Partnerships with nonprofit organizations are a core part of the CFC structure. In each of the approximately 36 CFC zones throughout the country, local and national nonprofit organizations collaborate closely with committees of volunteer Federal employees to design marketing strategies for the campaign and to process the receipt and distribution of Federal employee contributions to the charities they choose.
The CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with 120 campaigns (which were merged into 36 campaign zones for the 2017 campaign, centered around federal executive boards and large military organizations) throughout the country and overseas raising millions of dollars each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season (September 1st to January 15th) support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world. The Director of OPM has designated responsibility for day-to-day management of the program to its CFC office.
Each campaign is managed by a volunteer group of Federal employees who work with the Campaign Chair to generate contributions and distribute them to eligible charities. This partnership provides an opportunity for Federal workers to become involved in their communities and adds great value to the Combined Federal Campaign for both Federal employees and the participating nonprofit organizations.
The CFC Office in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) exercises broad supervision and provides guidance for each of the campaign zones, and insures that the campaigns are managed per the statutory requirements.


Novus Detox® explains the signs of alcohol addiction.
Alcohol addiction is an increasingly common problem in our society. Alcohol consumption is a common and legal activity among Americans and the fact that it's glorified on television and in the movies doesn't help with trying to discourage people from excessively drinking. Intoxication is considered hilarious in movies like "The Hangover", where young men go out drinking and do all kinds of crazy things, suffer from blackouts, and set out to undo all the problems they've created for themselves from drinking the night before. A large majority of the commercials on TV during a sporting event are beer or alcohol related. Drinking is viewed as a rite of passage, a sign that you're "grown up", and can do whatever you want. But don't let that fool you. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it comes without risk. Thousands upon thousands of people simply can't handle even the occasional drink. So how do you know that you aren't among those that have a drinking problem instead of just the occasional drink? How do you know if you're a candidate for alcohol detox?
Have you ever felt like you need to cut back on your drinking?
Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
Have you ever felt bad or even guilty about your drinking?
Do you ever feel a strong need to have a drink?
Do you ever take a drink in the morning to "cure" a hangover, and drink to excess alone?
If you answer any of the questions with a yes, you most likely have a drinking problem that needs to be addressed. At Novus Detox®, we have a highly successful alcohol addiction detox program that will put you back on track to getting your life together. Novus Detox will design an alcohol detox program specifically for the individual, taking into account the actual physical condition of the person. We carefully use medicines to ensure the alcohol addiction treatment is safe and more comfortable. We understand how alcohol affects the body - that it depletes the body's hydration and reduces the body's ability to absorb and use nutrients, amino acids and minerals. That's why we use specially formulated vitamin IV's to handle the hydration, nutrient, amino acid and mineral deficiencies which will allow our patients to safely and more comfortably complete their alcohol detox without the serious and dangerous side effects of alcohol withdrawal. We use natural supplements at each step of the way, and serve delicious and nutritious fresh food. We also provide round the clock medical supervision, for everything you need, the whole time you're with us. Novus is a very comfortable facility.
You can take walks on our 3.25 acres while you're in alcohol detox, and if you smoke, we provide smoking areas for you to use. We offer private or shared rooms with a TV, DVD and internet access, so you're not cut off from the world. And most importantly, we educate you on how alcohol affects your body, and the medical problems drinking causes that don't just go away when you quit drinking. We will help you complete a comfortable and safe alcohol addiction treatment program, and teach you how to best address any drinking related medical problems you may have. And we will show you how to live a healthy life. In short, help is just a phone call away.
Novus offers a safe, effective and highly successful alcohol detox experience, and we'll put you on the road to recovery in a safe and pain-free environment.

Special Offences Court
N14m Theft: I Report To Myself, EFCC Has No Right To Question Me On Funds- Former Perm Sec
Illoh made this statement while being cross-examined by the EFCC lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo on how the sum of N14.1m disbursed to his personal account by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) was spent. Responding in a hostile tone, illoh said, "You don't have the rights to ask me such questions. Why are you asking me such questions? Besides, the money in question wasn't budgeted for either was it appropriated because it wasn't the ministry's fund. I collected the money in the capacity of my official office but It was NIMASA's money that I spent and not from the Ministry of Labour's office. "I wrote a memo requesting for the transfer of N14m from maritime to my business account called Clement and Bob Associates, wherein Access Bank was asked to debit NIMASA and credit my account. "The money was paid to my personal account, by NIMASA in a form of non-personal advance. The money does not belong to the Ministry so I had no reason to show receipts. The civil servant also said that he reported only to himself as at the time he received the funds since there was no minister appointed to oversee the affairs of the Ministry of Labour. The former permanent secretary also said that he didn't keep any receipts to show transfer of funds neither did he write any memo to his superiors stating that NIMASA disbursed such an amount to him. however, the EFCC had earlier arraigned Illoh on a three-count charge bothering on stealing by conversion of property to the tune of N14.1 million. Illoh, who admitted remitting the sum of N616m to the federal government upon arrest, said that N3.5 million, which was the funds leftover from the N14.1million budgeted for the meetings was expended on logistics, honorarium, stationeries and transport. "I paid the sum of N3.5 million to Mr John Tsonwa, my late Special Assistant and his the only person who has the details of how the money was used, but sadly he is late," he said. While denying taking money from the defunct Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, illoh said that his aware that the EFCC recovered funds from his office and some contractors but claimed that the deceased managed the sum of N3.4m for the workshop. Illoh also admitted that there was no source or supporting document to show recipient of both the sum of N14m received in his official capacity as permanent secretary, and the N3.5m disbursed to late John was written from his office to the Ministry. "There was no minister at that time so I reported only to myself as permanent secretary. I received the money in my official capacity as a desk officer and an account officer of the ministry. The money was for organising meetings of two departments of NIMASA and Ministry of Labour (Maritime Labour convention)," he said. But when asked if his appointment as a desk officer was for the purpose of the convention, he said yes. Illoh also agreed that it was his duty to comply with the financial regulations of the Federal government regarding disbursement of funds or how funds ought to be expended. "I know that I am responsible for funds in my ministry and It is also true that the approved modality of government funds includes that all funds must be well documented before disbursement, but that doesn't apply in this case. "The money was paid into my personal account by NIMASA and I did not write any memo from my office to the ministry to show that I collected the money of even gave late Mr John the sum of N3.5m," he said. Illoh confirmed that there was no acknowledgement of receipt of the money by John to him because, according to him, that wasn't the procedure. The prosecutor thereafter attempted to tender the statement of the deceased man in evidence. Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo thereafter adjourned the matter till December 3 for continuation of trial.]]>

     $current_date=date("Y-m-d");
     $date1Timestamp = strtotime($current_date);
     $date2Timestamp = strtotime($newDate2);
     $diff = $date2Timestamp - $date1Timestamp;
     $years = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));

Get all the fun of arcade-style air hockey at home, in a fun-sized package! WIK Air Hockey Magic is designed for little ones who would struggle to play on a full-sized table. The pack contains everything you need to get kids from 3 years and up engaged in an exhilarating contest.
WIK Air Hockey Magic has three big benefits for little gamers. First, it's smaller than a standard adult table, so there's less effort needed to score. Secondly, it's manufactured for shorter statures, since it has small legs that keep it stable at a low height. And most importantly of all, WIK has kept the table, pucks and mallets perfectly in balance, so the style of game play won't change despite its smaller size. If your pre-schooler can catch a ball, they're ready to play air hockey too!
With LED score displays, a polycarbonate play field and funky LED lights in the legs, this table has features that will create jealousy in seasoned adult competitors. There's no compromise on features for you, either; the table includes a Comestro RM5 or NRI electronic coin acceptor, a 260W air pump and a 6 month warranty (commercial premises) and a 12 month warranty (private residence).

Only the finest and freshest ingredients make the cut. Great bread is a prerequisite for creating superior sandwiches. Even the extras are held to the same highscrutiny; the chips, hand-dipped shakes, and just out of the oven cookies are unrivaled in the industry.


Tradition is the real origins and tastes are the essence of it.
Veneto region is our origin earth and our cultural inheritance.
An inheritance made of simple and genuine things handed down from a generation to another despite time's trap.
Like Polenta which is a poor food but intense.
A sublime expression of our culture and farms.
Like Gnocchi which are soft memories of family, human warmth and traditional cooking.
Passion is living, in work as in life, driven by the feeling of those who know that things done with love are always the winners. Drop by drop to form an ocean.
Our Family is the solid base on which leans our history. It is the track of past times that still live.
The warm blow of the present time and the first step toward a future with deep roots. The family is a value that cancels distances from food producer and customer. It puts them all at the same table to recall together the flavour and emotions of our traditions. This is why a smile at the dining table is still the best way to tell life.
Corn and Potatoes. Two essential ingredients from the ground. It is our duty to respect and value catching its potential and taste. This is why we pay great attention to selecting each consignment. We control very carefully potatoes and wheat and only the top quality will be used for Gnocchi and Polenta. Goodness of our products is the final expression of what mother earth can offer us.

Le Voyage dans la Mars

The HI-SEAS dome on the slopes of Mauna Loa volcano. (Image: HI-SEAS).
SIX HOPEFUL ASTRONAUTS have spent the last seven months inside a geodesic dome on the red slopes of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii to simulate what it would be like to live on Mars.
It's some way off from the real thing (~225 million kilometres on a good day), but researchers of NASA chose the red-fevered badlands of Mauna Loa especially for its resemblance to Martian territory. Reared amidst dust and rock, the white two-storey dome measures just 11 m across and has just one small porthole window. Six scientists have been living and working in this dome as part of a lengthy psychology experiment.
It's being referred to as the HI-SEAS project — Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, an experiment looking into extended periods of isolation and confinement, run by the University of Hawaii and funded by NASA. It's all part of NASA's plan to send humans to Mars.
This is the third of the HI-SEAS Mars simulations. The current crew have been in there since October last year.
Mission commander, Dr Martha Lenio, a graduate of Australia's University of New South Wales, lives inside the dome with her crew mates.
"You look out the window and there's no green stuff, there's no trees, there's no habitation really that you can see. There's just rocks. Lava rocks everywhere. So it does look like mars when you look out the window," said Dr Lenio (ABC).
NASA hopes to be sending humans to Mars by the 2030s. For now, research is looking into the physiological, social and psychological aspects of what such a feat might entail.
The trip to Mars alone could take as long as three years. And once they land the astronauts may be taking up long-haul residence.
"The main point of the HI-SEAS study is to figure out how to pick a crew that works well together, that's able to stay positive, happy, productive, and cohesive through a long duration isolated mission," said Dr Lenio.
Research is focusing on food, crew dynamics, individual behaviour, group roles and performance, as well as other aspects of space flight and the tasks that would be involved in the actual mission to Mars.
– Life on Mars –
The HI-SEAS crew on Mauna Loa are cut off from the outside world. They are confined to their small white "dome-sweet-dome" and look out through the one small window—just one, because on Mars humans would need constant protection from solar radiation.
During their stay in the dome the crew have endured malfunctioning power systems and simulated radiation storms. To these, their performance and psychological response is recorded.
If they fancy it, crewmembers are allowed to venture outside the dome, but only through simulating a full Marswalk: gearing up with a space suit and entering a pressurisation chamber.
"We want it to be as Mars-like as possible," Dr Lenio said.
"But for me it feels like living in an apartment with your friends all the time and you just never go outside for some reason."

The dome has a laboratory, a bathroom, an exercise area, and a tiny spread of bedrooms on the second floor.
Inside the dome, the six faux Martians have limited communication with the outside world. Emails and internet use are artificially delayed by twenty minutes, simulating the time it would take a radio signal to travel from Earth to Mars travelling at the speed of light.
Electricity is also restricted, as the crew mostly rely on harvested solar energy. During stretches of cloudy weather they tend to ration the power away from internet use, conserving electricity for running the dome and for the work they're conducting for NASA.
"We have a lab freezer, a deep freeze with human saliva, urine, and hair for the NASA studies," said Dr Lenio.
"We have composting toilets with fans and heaters on them and that is our major baseload, really, and if those go down the whole place will stink up," she said.
Seems reason enough to use power sparingly.
– Martian eats –
Food in the dome is also an issue for the HI-SEAS crew, but not in the sense of paucity. The real problem has to do with something called 'menu fatigue'.
Eating the same freeze-dried, pre-packaged slabs of colour over and over again gets boring. It can lead to a loss of appetite, weight loss, even depression.
These days we have humans living on the International Space Station for as long as six months, and the menu has been identified as absolutely essential to crew morale and psychological wellbeing (TED.com).
The crew of HI-SEAS do get through the freeze-dried stuff, but every other night they engage in a bit of dome-home-cooking.
"We've had really great falafel night. We had really great sushi. Pizza night is always a success, that's one of our dovers. Burger night. BBQ night," said Dr Lenio.
Some of their food the crew has been able to grow inside the dome, under artificial light. Dr Lenio has been working on growing plants that include basil, coriander and lettuce.
"My work here is focused on growing as many plants and as many different varieties of plants as possible indoors with LED lighting."
– Alone in space –
For the most part, the HI-SEAS team is calling the mission a huge success. However, approaching the final few weeks of dome life, some of the researchers have faced problems.
"We've had a few rather difficult bouts of depression from a couple of crew members," Dr Lenio said.
"I guess just being supportive and working through that required a few team conversations."

Worlds away, a crew living on the real Mars would have to function quite autonomously. Communication, direction, and assistance from Earth would be limited. The crew would need to be able to deal with problems themselves, including medical and psychiatric emergencies, such as trauma due to accidents as well as suicidal or psychotic thinking.
Sending people up into space, let alone to Mars, is an enormous thing to do. And astronauts, just flecks of life in the immense and infinite blackness of space, are placed right in the crease-line of this almost mythic task. There has been a lot of work put into investigating the psychology of space-travel, as well as faraway confinement and isolation.
Between 2007 and 2011, European and Chinese researchers conducted a series of psychosocial isolation experiments as part of their 'Mars 500' mission. The last of these experiments saw six men confined to a grounded spaceship for 520 days, simulating what it might be like to make the trip to Mars.
There was some indication that the crew had adapted mentally to their difficult situation: heightened autonomy and decreases in crew member needs and requests made to mission control.
Over time, the crew also appeared to display an increase in the homogeneity of their values; they also appeared to become more reluctant to express negative interpersonal feelings. Both these changes are suggestive of a tendency towards 'groupthink'—a psychological phenomenon in which a group's desire to maintain harmony or conformity within the group results in irrational or dysfunctional decision-making. Basically, no one wants to be the one to say that something is a terrible idea.
On top of this, the Mars 500 crew experienced increased feelings of loneliness and perceived lower support from colleagues over time. (See: Kanas, N. et al. 2010; Kanas, N. et al. 2011; Roma, P.C. et al. 2012).
The psychological progress of the HI-SEAS crew in the Mauna Loa dome is yet to be fully mulled over.
Generally, before an astronaut leaves Earth for the real thing, they are psychiatrically screened for any predisposition towards mental illness and psychotic episodes.
But even with perfectly healthy individuals, transient anxiety and depression are commonly recorded psychiatric problems suffered by astronauts who spend extended amounts of time on-orbit. Often these symptoms are attributed to adjustment reactions to the novelty of living in space. (See: Kanas, N; Manzey, D. 2008)
While there are damper patches in the psychology of space-travel, it isn't all bad news for astronauts.
Upon returning from space, astronauts widely report a strong sense of achievement, with a feeling that they have lived a rewarding, enjoyable life, and are continuing to do so. They reflect on a greater appreciation for nature and for other people, drawing on an inherent beauty in the Earth around them. Overall, space-travel for a returning traveller is a positive and growing experience. (See: Ihle, E.C. et al. 2006; Suedfeld, P. et al. 2010.)
On the volcano, amidst the redlands, inside the dome, the HI-SEAS crew have had their problems. But for the most part, the tone of the experience seems warm. Here's a recent from-the-dome Twitter post:
Only two weekends left in the dome! What songs should the crew add to their karaoke list for Saturday night? #HISEAS #countdown #karaoke
— HI-SEAS (@HI_SEAS) May 28, 2015
In between karaoke, pizza night and other Martian gaiety, the crew also take care of a pet fish named Blastoff McRocketboots.
In two weeks' time the researchers will emerge from the dome, simulating re-enrty into the Earth's atmosphere with a skydive.

Kristin Creative: Favorite Book Couples!
1) Sam and Grace - Shiver and Linger by Maggie Stiefvater. Sometimes they are a little too perfect for me, but on the whole, they have a sweet relationship with it's fair share of outside forces trying to keep them apart.
2) Katniss and Gale - Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. Life long best friends, tension, and hotness. I love me some Gale.
3) Katsa and Po - Graceling by Kristin Cashore. While the book took me a while to really get into, the interactions between Katsa and Po were creative and often left me hanging... which made me keep reading.
4) Violet and Jay - The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. HELLO TENSION! I love love love Violet and Jay--everything about them.
5) Sophie and Archer - Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. This book was FUN FUN FUN and Archer is HOT HOT HOT.
6) Mary and Travis - The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. Carrie Ryan owns the copyright on Forbidden Love. Her characters circumstances are heartbreaking, and that's what keeps me reading--hope in a happier ending than Carrie Ryan ever intended to give me. haha.
8) Lily and Quince - Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs. This was a fun summer read, and something about Quince pulled me in from the get go! He is bad boy hot, with a good heart--what could be better?

10) Elizabeth and Will, Diana and Henry - Luxe Series (The Luxe and Rumors are all I've read so far) by Anna Godberson. Talk about forbidden love, triangles, squares, whatEVER. These books are all about the scandal and the shock factor. I'm about halfway through the series and my heart has already broken twice.
But I'm sorry - I have to disagree....It's Katniss and Peeta. Definately.
Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.

was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. He was commander of the Japanese 4th Fleet and later served as Vice-Minister of the Navy. A noted naval theorist, he was a strong advocate of naval aviation within the Japanese Navy. General (Prime Minister) Abe Nobuyuki was his brother-in-law.

Biography

Early life
Shigeyoshi Inoue was born on December 9, 1889 in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, the eleventh son of a vineyard owner and former samurai retainer Kanori Inoue. His name Shigeyoshi, consisting of the kanji 成 (to achieve) and 美 (beauty), was derived from a passage in Analects by Yan Hui saying "The Master said, the man of virtue seeks to achieve the beautiful qualities of men and does not seek to achieve their bad qualities. The small man does the opposite of this". Shigeyoshi, who was taught by his father to become a man like this, took great pride in this name.

Early career
Inoue attended the 37th class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, graduating second out of a class of 179 cadets in 1909. As a midshipman, he was assigned to the cruiser  on its 1909 cruise from Dairen to Chemulpo, Chinkai, Sasebo and Tsu. He stayed with Soya on its cruise the following year to Manila, Ambon, Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Fremantle, Batavia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Makung, and Keelung. On his return, he was assigned to the battleship , and then the cruiser .

Overseas experience
Shortly after his promotion to ensign on December 15, 1910, he was reassigned to the cruiser  and attended the coronation ceremonies for King George V in London in 1911. In 1912, he returned to school to study latest naval artillery and submarine warfare techniques and was promoted to sub-lieutenant at the end of that year. In 1913, he served on the cruiser , followed by the battleship . He was promoted to lieutenant at the end of 1915, and transferred to the battleship . Although Fusō participated in operations in World War I against the Imperial German Navy, Inoue was not in any combat situations.

At the end of 1918, Inoue was appointed military attaché to Switzerland, and ordered by the Navy to learn German. In 1919, he was part of the Japanese diplomatic delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, where this knowledge proved to be useful. In 1920, he was appointed military attaché to France, and was then ordered to learn French. In December 1921, he received a promotion to lieutenant commander, and was permitted to return to Japan.

After serving as executive officer on the  in 1923, Inoue enrolled in the Naval Staff College, graduating 3rd in a class of 21 the following year from the 22nd class. On December 1, 1925, he was promoted to commander. Inoue remained in staff positions for the next several years, including an appointment as naval attaché to Italy from 1927–1929, after which he was promoted to captain.

As admiral
On November 15, 1933, Inoue was given command of Hiei. However, his administrative talents could not be overlooked, and he returned to shore duties after slightly over a year and a half. Inoue was a protégé of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, and was strongly opposed to the Tripartite Pact with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Inoue was a leader of the "leftist clique" within the Japanese military, which opposed Japan's increasing trend towards fascism and overseas expansionism.

Promoted to rear admiral on November 15, 1935, Inoue was made vice commander of the IJN 3rd Fleet, which covered the China theater of operations in 1939 and further promoted to vice admiral the same year. As with Yamamoto, he was a strong proponent of naval aviation. Inoue was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun (first class) in 1940.

In 1940, Inoue became commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy Aviation Bureau, and submitted his thesis for a radical restructuring of the Imperial Japanese Navy to Naval Minister Koshirō Oikawa early in 1941. He was highly critical of the Navy's shipbuilding programme, with its emphasis on battleships over aircraft carriers. Inoue was given command of the IJN Fourth Fleet later the same year, based out of Truk. He was thus in command of Japanese naval forces during the Battle of Guam and Battle of Wake Island. He subsequently relocated his headquarters to Rabaul for Operation Mo, intended to occupy Port Moresby. However, after the Japanese defeat at the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, he was relieved of his command in October, and returned to Japan to become commander of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. He became Vice Minister of the Navy in the closing stages of World War II, was promoted to full admiral on May 15, 1945 (one of the last two promotions made to this rank), and officially retired on October 15 of the same year.

After the war, Inoue became an English and music teacher to children at his house in Yokosuka. The site of his home is now a public park.
However, this site was closed due to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake.

His grave is at Tama Cemetery in Fuchū, Tokyo, Japan.

Who are you predicting to lose the elimination challenge? We are thinking it's Julie. How about you? Who was voted out, eliminated on Survivor April 27, 2011 results? It will be provided here as always.
Update: Julie gets eliminated; Ralph and Steve get voted out, going to redemption island.
I love Boston Rob and want to see him win! He's the BEST!!
Boston Rob is a sexist racist. He thinks that Phillip is his "boy" and that he controls all. This guy is a pig. But I digress this is the worst season of survivor.
this season is dumb. whats the point. there is no game here. dull. worst season ever. I may give up totally.
I do not understand why Phillip is still there? He is totally a strange dude. Hostility is his best suit. I love Boston Rob. He's a seasoned player and I want to see him take home the money!!!
Some one please tell me who got voted off last night. We had a tornado and the power was out. Darn!
Phillip: What possible government agency could he had possibly work for and did state four years? He could not pass the background check. The man isn't young was 40 years ago he work as an agent, that might make sense. But as of today and the way he is acting no way.
Rob: I like him, he needs to watch the jury and get rid of Phillip. We had alot of smart people end up changing there personality. remember the deaths that never happen.
Woman: Rob is working them but he better watch it……you can 't marry another winner.
The show is a no brainer…it is amusing…I get home from a long day at work and get turn this on and it is background noise. If I watch their is no big decision I need to think or make about it. Have fun with it.
This is the dullest season of Survivor EVER! We almost stopped watching after Russell was eliminated. Now we are done. Let's all send a message to CBS that the producers need to get involved and only put people on the show that know how to strategize and not just ride Boston Rob's coat tails and then wait for him to slit your throat later when he make you choose between him and Phillip in the finale. BORING!
I love Survivor, can't wait until Boston Rob is voted off this will be very interesting to see. I hope Phillip wins the million.
I'm really pulling for Matt.. He seems like a great guy and he's not on anyone's bad side.. I'm hoping he'll make it to the end! Team Matt!!!


Unfortunately, I completely missed the race, so it will have to be highlights for the time being until IndyCar post the whole race on YouTube. Otherwise, from what I've read it wasn't a bad race.
Congrats to Sato. Dixon's 5th place puts him 29 points a head of Rossi, who finished 8th and 97 points ahead of Power who finished 21st, with double points at Sonoma in two weeks time.
I missed the race, so why was it a complete mess?
There was a caution during the final pit cycle which jumbled everything up. Nevertheless, there was terrific racing throughout the field and a big crowd. I like Taku as well, so all smiles over here. Dixon's luck and drive was great too.
Was the caution necessary, or was it one of those cautions those unnecessary ones?
I believe it was Ferrucci coming to a stop on the outside of the racing line. So the answer is 'No' but not necessarily Indycar's fault. I'll be interested to hear your take on the race when you have a chance to watch.
It was a tremendous race. Incredibly entertaining (save for the heavy incident at the start).

But at the same time, the only driver disadvantaged by it really was Chilton.
Disappointing not to see a penalty for Veach , who caused the first lap caution even though he escaped without damage. This was surely "avoidable contact". I like Veach, just think that he was responsible for the indecent.
Agree. According to the live feed, there were several cars that made 10+ passes. I've looked for passing data in the past, but doesn't seem to be available after the live feed has ended.
Nice win for Taku, I'm a bit surprised to learn it's only his third.
Yep, but his first two were the best you can have.
Not really necessary IMO, but indycar does throw a yellow when a car is sopped on track, so not unexpected.
At least they waited until everyone had the chance to make a pitstop.
The car was on the outside of a corner. A truck had to pick it up. A full course yellow was necessary in my opinion. As gert says, race control waited until everyone took a pitstop.
Finally got to see the race today. Managed to not get any spoilers, and thought the race was decent. Not as good as the announcers made it out to be, but I enjoyed it. The first lap was unfortunate, and Dixon might be one of the luckiest guys on the grid. Don't know how he got out of there unscathed. Never thought Sato would win through the first 2 pit cycles, but more power to him for getting the fuel strategy right.
Takumasan! Nice win in an odd race. Love this track, but odd to see Portland so dry and brown. Shame as it's normally so lush and green.
Holy Dixon!! Still not sure how he didn't hit anything hard and amazing to bring that home as well as he did. Sinply amazing.

Sexual Violence Statistics - A Quick Look
A recent study found that one in five adult Maine residents reports that they have been the victim of rape or attempted rape during their lifetime.[1] Almost 36% of female respondents and 10% of male respondents have experienced this devastating crime at some point in their lives. That means that there are about 14,000 Maine victims of sexual assault per year.[2]
14,000 Mainers may seem high compared to how little we hear about sexual violence, especially when we consider that in 2015 only 373 rapes or attempted rapes were reported to law enforcement in Maine.[3] Rape and sexual assault are the most underreported crimes in the United States.[4]
Nationally, one in five women has been the victim of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. Nearly 1 in 2 women have experienced sexual violence other than rape in their lifetime.[5] 1 in 5 men have experienced a form of sexual violence other than rape in their lifetime.[6]
Only 2-8% of all sexual assault reports to law enforcement turn out to be false. This is the same rate as other types of violent crimes.[7]
Rape has the highest annual victim costs compared to all other crimes except child sexual assault; this cost has been estimated at $127 billion per year.[8]
Additional Maine Statistics
Children & Adolescents
Approximately 50% of calls to Maine's sexual assault helpline relate to child sexual abuse.[9]
According to the Children's Safety Network and Data Analysis Resource Center, the comprehensive costs of sexual abuse of children in Maine in 2004 were $138,057,000. This estimate takes into consideration future earnings, medical and mental health expenses, and public programs, among other things.[10]
Approximately 7.1% of Maine high school students (10.0% of girls and 4.1% of boys) report that they have been physically forced to have sexual intercourse. 14.8% of girls and 5.% of boys report having been forced to have sexual contact in any way in their lifetime.[11]
17.2% of Maine high school students (23.4% of girls and 11.1% of boys) report having been the target of offensive sexual comments at school or on the way to or from school in their lifetime.[12]
In FY 2015, Maine's sexual assault crisis and support centers provided prevention education sessions to over 60,000 Maine K-12 students.[13]
48.6% of adult Maine sexual assault survivors report that they have ever been diagnosed as depressed, as opposed to 17.5% individuals who have never been sexually assaulted.[14]
38.3% of adult Maine sexual assault survivors report that they have ever been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, as opposed to 14.2% of individuals who have never been sexually assaulted.[15]
28.7% of women sexual assault survivors in Maine report they drank heavily in the past month (compared to 4.4% of individuals who have never been sexually assaulted).[16]
Of Maine youth who experience forced sexual contact OR forced sex, 35-37% consider suicide, as compared with only 9-10% of their peers who have not experienced sexual violence.[17]

A clay material that is used as the preparatory layer for the application of very thin layers of metal leaf, most commonly gold or silver. Bole is prepared by mixing colored clay with a water-based adhesive (such as rabbit-skin glue). Although traditional boles are usually dark red in color, many variations can be found, ranging from white to light yellow to deep violet. Because metal leaf is very thin, the color of the bole has a substantial effect on the appearance of the gilding. In pictures that have suffered deom cracks or abrasion in gilt areas, the bole can often be seen in areas where the metal leaf is missing.
In water gilding, the bole mixture is applied to the area to be gilded and allowed to dry. A smooth piece of agate may be used to burnish the surface of the colored clay. The bole is then re-wetted in order to activate the adhesive, and the metal leaf is applied. The bole layer may also be referred to as the poliment (a term used to describe a preparation layer for gilding).

Many of us rely on online shopping when it comes time to fulfill all those holiday wish lists and using a smartphone to make purchases has never been easier or more convenient. But experts warn that fake shopping apps are sometimes hard to spot and can leave you extremely vulnerable to scams and invasions of privacy.
And another indicator that you may be dealing with a scammer is by checking the app's text for misspellings, incomplete sentences or words used improperly. Checking an app's ratings and reviews before downloading can also give you a better sense of how secure and reliable your shopping experience will be.
What do you think of the current warnings about fake shopping apps?
Do you worry about getting scammed during the holiday season while shopping for deals online?
This is a very important story this time of year. Everybody is rushing around trying to get things done quickly. Take a moment to slow down and look who you are buying from before losing your money to scammers. The only store app I keep is Amazon but I have seen fake ones.


Delaware senator brings 'extensive foreign policy experience' to Democratic ticket.
The 65-year-old Biden is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a highly respected voice on international affairs.
He has twice sought the Democratic nomination for the White House and has served more than 30 years in the Senate.
Biden is expected to appear alongside the presidential candidate at a rally in Obama's state of Illinois at 3pm (20:00 GMT) on Saturday.
After appearing at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, where Obama launched his presidential campaign, they will tour some of the key battleground states, including Iowa and Montana.
Rob Reynolds, Al Jazeera's senior Washington correspondent, said that Biden complements Obama as he is strong in several areas where some voters perceive the Illinois senator is lacking.
"The campaign of Republican senator John McCain has been very critical of Barack Obama, pointing to a lack of experience they characterise him as a lightweight, someone who hasn't been steeped in policy issues, who doesn't have a great breadth of experience, especially in foreign policy," he said.
McCain's campaign said that the choice showed that OBama was not ready to serve as president himself.
"There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama's lack of experience than Joe Biden," Ben Porritt, a spokesman for McCain's campaign said in a statement.
"Biden has denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgement and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realising, that Barack Obama is not ready to be president."
Senior Republican officials say that McCain has not settled on a choice of vice-president, although Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts and Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota, were being considered.
Before naming Biden, Obama had told CBS' "Early Show" that he had decided on someone who will be prepared to step in as president, can help him govern and will be independent.
"I want somebody who is going to challenge my thinking and not simply be a yes person when it comes to policy-making," he said.
Toby Chaudhuri, a Democratic strategist, said that "the Obama-Biden ticket has a ring to it".
"There is a lot of electricity there, even though everybody will dice it up and think about which constituencies are going to be more likely to vote for the ticket now, at the end of the day it is about the chemistry between these two folks," he told Al Jazeera.
"When you add Biden to it, you add a populism to the ticket that may not have existed before, in addition to all the credibility that comes with his experience."
The move comes as the Democratic party is preparing for its annual convention in the city of Denver in Colorado next week, where both Obama and his vice-presidential choice are due to speak.


This winter, take care of your skin by following 10 of our highly recommended do's and dont's list!
Cardigans, hot chocolate, bonfires, and that rosy glow – we all do love winters! Unfortunately though, the cold clear days many-a-times bring in dry and itchiness. Here are 10 ways to beat the flake this Winter!
If there is a golden rule to winter beauty, then it would be to moisturize. Pat on some lotion on the face and neck region. Don't forget the dryer areas like hands, feet, elbows, and knees – they have thin skin and tend to lose moisture faster. Consider slathering on a deep moisturizing lotion at night. Wear socks to seal in the moisture until morning.
Even though the weather is conducive to lazing in bed and drinking a cozy cup of coffee – refrain! Consuming too many caffeinated beverages, be it coffee, tea or soda, can be dehydrating to your skin. Caffeine acts like a diuretic and prevents the skin from retaining moisture, thus drying it out considerably. If caffeine is a must, try cutting back on the amount you drink or choose decaffeinated drinks instead. Do make sure you're drinking plenty of water to counteract the effect.
Because your skin tends to be drier and flakier in winter, it's important that you exfoliate to get rid of dead, dull skin. Exfoliating will also help your thirsty skin absorb more hydration from your moisturizer. Try to exfoliate at least a few times a week.
Lips chap the fastest! Use a lip balm or even ghee for your lips. Avoid matte lipsticks, use a lip gloss instead. Before you go outside, apply some petroleum jelly to your lips as this creates a protective layer between the cold air and your lips, locking in moisture.
Eating foods high in water content can help hydrate your skin from the inside. Fruits and vegetables like watermelon, apples, oranges, kiwi, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and carrots are rich in water and essential minerals. Make sure you're getting enough vitamin C and zinc to support the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Also eat enough Omega-3 through fish and flaxseed to give your skin the building blocks it needs to appear supple and smooth.
Homemade hydrating masks can provide needed moisture in the winter months. Use natural moisturizing ingredients like honey, avocado, dahi (yogurt), olive and jojoba oils, almond oil, bananas, and aloe. Mix what you like together to create a cream or paste, and leave on skin for 10-30 minutes.
Unfortunately, most people do not value the benefits that a good nights sleep can give you. You need to rest for at least 7 – 8 hours everyday. This will create the right balance in your body ridding your system of toxins to give you healthy skin.
The cold climate makes us feel sedentary and tempts us to skip our regular exercise regimes. Be it Pilates, Zumba, Gym or Yoga – work up that sweat! Physical activity reduces that winter weight and will give your skin a glowing blushing tinge.
Our grandmothers knew what they were prescribing. Besan or gram flour is great for making the skin soft, radiant and supple. This winter make sure you lather your whole body with Besan.
Take care of those tresses! Before hopping in the shower, massage the scalp with olive or coconut oil. These oils replenish natural scalp oils and can moisturize dry hair too. Tea tree oil is also a popular treatment for fungal and bacterial infections like dandruff.

Lady Gaga's Makeup Artist on What Happens Behind the Scenes
...and the one story she won't tell.
Last night was Lady Gaga's second and last date in New York City at Citi Field as part of her Joanne World Tour. But before we attended and stood agape for hours at the triumph that was this epic show (she performed out in the rain for hours!), we got to sit down with her longtime makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, to discuss art, the artist, and the Marc Jacobs Beauty makeup that will last through a Gaga-level stadium concert. Even in a downpour, apparently.
What's the key to perfect stage makeup?
"You want it to look effortless, but it's quite a process to build that so it looks that way on the screen, between changing, singing. It's taken me 8 years to perfect my techniques. It's really the way that you prep the skin. You don't want to use things that are too emollient because it will just slide off with the humidity and changing, so it's about keeping the skin as matte as possible and choosing the areas you want to highlight, like, say, the tops of the cheeks. I'll use the Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo powder form to highlight. Throughout the show when that artist comes in to change, it's really about blotting them with a tissue and not piling too much more on."
What about getting eye makeup to last on stage?
"It's really layering. I like the new Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Eye Primer, so I'll do that all over the lid as a base before I go in with any sort of eye shadow. The Highliner Gel pens are super longwear; it's the only thing I've found that doesn't smudge or transfer onto the lids, so I'm able to create really graphic looks that aren't going to move. I do a layering process where I start with the Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Blacquer and then I go over with a liquid liner. And the Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara is my favorite because it's super dramatic, but it doesn't flake, so I do that on the top and bottom lashes."
Tell me about the looks for this concert.
"When she went to the Grammys and performed with Metallica, I did this really cool rounded red eye with the matte eyeliner, and I loved that shape on her. I thought it was so edgy and sexy and cool, so that was my base and I took it from there."
How many shows have you done with her?
"There's no way I could count. Since 2009 I've done every tour working with her or her dancers. So, countless times around the world with her, which is such an honor to be part of something that big. We very much have a tight-knit group of friends that are creative, and to be able to do that as your job, just create and have a good time, that's just like… You can't call that work."
Tell me about how you first met Gaga and how that all started.
"I've actually never told this story, so I think I'm going to wait."

Ethiopia: At a glance
Ethiopia is a sovereign country in Africa, with a total land area of approximately 1,000,000 sq km. Unique among African countries, the ancient Ethiopian monarchy maintained its freedom from colonial rule with the exception of a short-lived Italian occupation from 1936-41. In 1974, a military junta, the Derg, deposed Emperor Haile SELASSIE (who had ruled since 1930) and established a socialist state. Torn by bloody coups, uprisings, wide-scale drought, and massive refugee problems, the regime was finally toppled in 1991 by a coalition of rebel forces, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). A constitution was adopted in 1994, and Ethiopia's first multiparty elections were held in 1995. A border war with Eritrea late in the 1990s ended with a peace treaty in December 2000. In November 2007, the Eritrea-Ethiopia Border Commission (EEBC) issued specific coordinates as virtually demarcating the border and pronounced its work finished. Alleging that the EEBC acted beyond its mandate in issuing the coordinates, Ethiopia has not accepted them and has not withdrawn troops from previously contested areas pronounced by the EEBC as belonging to Eritrea. In August 2012, longtime leader Prime Minister MELES Zenawi died in office and was replaced by his Deputy Prime Minister HAILEMARIAM Desalegn, marking the first peaceful transition of power in decades.
