MANILA, Philippines – Adele’s “Hello” isn’t the only song with that title. Lionel Richie released his iconic “Hello” in 1984, and more than one fan thought back to that track when they heard Adele’s newest release.
In BlendTV’s mashup above, Adele and Lionel’s music videos are mixed to reveal that Lionel was actually on the other end of Adele’s phone call. (WATCH: Adele releases music video for ‘Hello’)
What does Lionel think? The singer posted a photo of his music video beside Adele’s with the caption “HELLO @adele is it me you’re looking for…”
He followed it up with BlendTV’s video:
Adele’s “Hello” music video came after her announcement that she’s releasing her first album in 4 years, titled 25. On her social media post about the album, the singer, whose previous album was about a break up, called it a “make-up record,” saying, “I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.”

I'll admit, when I heard that WPA, (specifically implementations using TKIP), was cracked, my first reaction was "It's about time." This does not stem from some deep held desire to obtain free internet access from my neighbors, but instead from the fact that TKIP use RC4. It's extremely hard to implement RC4 correctly. So much so, that in general I don't trust any encryption algorithm that uses a stream cipher vs. a block cipher, (for the crypto purists, yes block ciphers essentially become stream ciphers when put in CFB mode, but that's also when problems tend to occur).
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm inclined to take a dire view of WPA's security. That being said, when headlines like "Wi-Fi Code Cracked in Minute" appears on the front page of Yahoo, (bad grammar and all), I really feel the need to post something. Regardless though, please understand, if you are still using WPA in TKIP mode you should at least start thinking about upgrading to WPA2, or WPA using AES. Even if this particular attack doesn't prove weaponizable, chances are another attack later on down the line will.
So disclaimers aside, and with all the doom and gloom I already posted, what's my problem with the Yahoo article? Well, it's the simple fact that the current attack doesn't break WPA in a practical sense yet. Now I admit, I'm not an expert when it comes to wireless encryption protocols. I consider myself more of a hobbyist,
but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. I mean I did actually read the academic paper describing the attack details. Also my initial job after graduating from college, (the first time), was attacking wireless networks so this is a topic near and dear to my heart. Oh, and while I'm talking myself up, some of my Master's research involved attacking Ad-hoc networks which tend to use wireless protocols. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while this post may sound like I know what I'm talking about, chances are there are major flaws in my understanding of the attack and it's implications so please feel free to correct me.
The attack described is a refinement of the ChopChop attack applied to WPA that was originally discovered by Martin Beck and Erik Tews. There's a couple of things to note about this attack that limit its usefulness in real world situations.
It doesn't disclose/recover/discover, or whatever word you want to use, the encryption key. What this means is an attacker can't use this attack to figure out your password, hop on your network and start reading your e-mail or download random pictures of scantily clad individuals.
While this attack does allow the attacker to decrypt encrypted packets, even with the refinements proposed, it is not an entirely offline attack. It still needs to use an authorized user, (access point, and/or client), as an oracle. This means an attacker can't just collect the encrypted data, and then go home and spend the next year decrypting it on some botnet/computer in their mom's basement. Essentially they have a limited time window to decrypt the packets, and the limiting factor is not how fast their computer is, but the amount of data that is leaked via error messages sent by the defender. The reason that the original attack took so long was that if an attacker sends more than one packet with a bad Message Integrity Check within 60 seconds, the AP would drop the connection. Thus it would take a minimum of 11 minutes to make 12 submissions to the AP. Those 12 error messages would be enough for the attacker to decode 2 byes of data. Similarly, packet injection takes around 5 minutes to execute, with three of those minutes taken up by submitting four different packets to obtain specific error messages.
Continuing on point #2, in general most implementations of WPA are smart enough to realize that if someone is still trying to submit the same packet after 11 minutes, something is wrong. Or more to the point, WPA uses has a counter, (called the TKIP Sequence Counter or TSC) so when the actual client sends more data, the AP will no longer try to decrypt older packets. Beck and Tews get around this by attacking certain WPA implementations that allow multiple channels for QoS where the WPA implementation isn't smart enough to increment the TSC counter on all of them. One of the main improvements proposed by Ohigashi and Morii is to perform a true MITM attack where the client only talks to the attacker, not to the access point. Thus when the attacker wants to decrypt two bytes from a packet, they simply DoS the client for around 15 minutes. Needless to say, while this may be useful to decode an Arp packet at 3:00am in the morning, employing this attack when a user is online, and you know, sending interesting data, might be noticed. This is further complicated by point #4.
The attacker has to know EVERY byte in the packet they are attacking with the exception of the byte or two of information they are trying to discover. Essentially the attacker conducts a known plaintext attack by constructing every possible packet that could be created by those two unknown bytes of information and then uses the error messages from the Access Point to identify which one is the correct packet. What this means is an attacker can't use this attack to decode the first two bytes of someone's telnet login password since they don't know what the rest of the password is. That's also why you see these papers talk about decoding and injecting Arp packets. Essentially what they are assuming is that they know the first three octets of defender's IP address, (such as 192.168.0.x), and so they are only trying to decode the last octet, (the 'x'), for both the access point and the client. Conveniently that is only two bytes of information. Since it's an Arp packet, the mac address information is already known, (it's not encrypted by WPA), and the attacker can figure out what the rest of the packet will look like. Now from my reading of both the original paper and this new one, there is nothing stopping the attacker from attempting to guess what more than two bytes are. Well, except for the fact that the attack would then require several hours to several years to decrypt 4-5 bytes from a single message. I would expect that after the first week of the DoS attack someone would at least try to reboot the router, not to mention the automatic idle timeouts ;)
Finally, the "1 minute" time everyone is talking about only applies to injecting forged arp packets into the network, (it still takes around 11-15 minutes to decode a packet with the new attack). They achieved a speedup from the 4-5 minutes it took Beck/Tews attack to inject an arp packet by designing a way to forge the packet without having to contact the access point to verify if the packet is valid. Basically, instead of making sure their packet will be accepted, they just say "F*** it! Lets send it anyway. There's a 37 percent chance it will get accepted!). Then there's the fact that I have a hard time coming up with a non-DoS attack that involves injecting an Arp packet when the attacker doesn't have an authorized computer on the network, (otherwise why are they bothering to try and attack WPA in the first place). The only thing I can think of is framing someone else for Arp spoofing. Oh and the DoS attack isn't that useful since in order to pull it off, you have to already be able to perform a DoS attack, (though in all fairness you could perform a DoS attack against some other computer on the same Layer-2 network besides the client you are currently attacking).
Now I want to stress, this is good research that Ohigashi and Morrii are doing, and it almost certainly will lead to more potent attacks. Likewise, their paper is honest about what they are doing and the limitations of their attack. It's just that people see the words "WPA packet injection" and "Less than 1 minute," and automatically assume that WPA is as weak as WEP. Or as the Yahoo article puts it,
"The second generation of Wi-Fi security systems has now been broken as badly as its notoriously insecure predecessor"
It's just not true. As I said at the beginning of the post, if you are using WPA you should change to WPA2, but your neighbor's kid isn't going to be using your wireless anytime soon.

Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
March 16, 2000
Rodney K. Alston
Army Corps of Engineers
IT Group / Kaiser
#1. Introductory Remarks, Approve Minutes of 4 November 1999
Mr. McKenna convened the meeting
at 7:10 p.m. and asked if there were any comments or questions
about the 4 November 1999 RAB meeting minutes. There were none,
and the minutes were approved as written.
#2. Project Update Work Plan Addendum 9
Mr. McKenna provided a project
update on the Work Plan Addendum 9. RFAAP prepared the Work
Plan Addendum 9 to perform some work in the Horseshoe Area,
south of the main plant. RFAAP sent the plan to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and received comments in February. After
discussing with EPA, RFAAP has come up with a strategy to change
the work plan. RFAAP will collect and evaluate existing data,
and then go to EPA and propose specific changes to the work
Mr. McKenna stated that RFAAP initially
proposed to do a dye trace study, which is one of the tools
used to better understand karst geology. RFAAP has collected
some information by conducting a thermal fly over, which takes
an infrared picture of the area, to determine temperature differences
in the surface water and identify the location of springs. Mr.
McKenna explained that dye trace studies need places where you
can put dye in (e.g., sinkholes) as well as discharge points
(e.g., springs) so you can see where it comes out. Because the
Horseshoe Area lacks springs, it does not have the kind of geology
that is conducive to a dye trace. Instead, RFAAP plans to take
water level measurements in the river to get some relative information
between river elevations and groundwater elevations in several
monitoring wells. RFAAP will then compile and evaluate data
to help determine groundwater flow in the Horseshoe Area. The
tentative plan is to have a specific proposal to EPA by June.
Mr. McKenna stated that there were
other factors that made it necessary to change the work plan.
RFAAP had already conducted (or attempted to conduct) a dye
trace in the Horseshoe Area, and it didnt work. Dye was
placed in a well and was not recovered. In order for a dye trace
study to be effective, you need to know where the dye is going
to come out. Therefore, you must walk around the site and find
potential discharges like springs and seeps. RFAAP and EPA hydrogeologists
walked around the area and did not find any springs or seeps.
Therefore, conducting a dye trace study is not viable at this
time. RFAAP will use other methods to determine groundwater
flow in the Horseshoe Area.
Mr. Robert Freis asked whether
subsurface conditions are less porous than was originally thought.
Mr. McKenna replied that the water in the area is being recharged
to the New River. There is no flow under the river or through/under
the mountains. RFAAP doesnt know the specific points where
water is recharging to the New River (e.g., water could be coming
up through the riverbed through seeps and springs). However,
there are not enough known outlets to account for all the water
coming out of the Horseshoe Area.
Mr. Freis asked if the subsurface
conditions would inhibit or make it less likely for contamination
to migrate. Mr. McKenna replied that this isnt the case
because there are two systems. There is an overburden groundwater
system in which water goes down into the second lower karst
system. Either way, the water is going to the New River. Water
is either going from the overburden into the river or going
down lower and then recharging underneath to the river through
the karst system. Regardless of the tools that are used, there
will be some uncertainty with groundwater flow around the area.
RFAAP knows that the water is going into the New River, but
a specific path is going to be difficult to determine. However,
RFAAP will be able to determine enough information about groundwater
flow to develop reasonable risk assessments, and if needed,
to conduct appropriate cleanups.
Mr. Steve Cole asked what kind
of decisions would be made differently if RFAAP had more information
about groundwater flow. Mr. McKenna replied that there have
been no decisions made yet regarding the groundwater. RFAAP
only has conducted soil cleanups (i.e., source removals) such
as the work conducted at SWMU 54, but groundwater really wasnt
a factor. In areas with soil contamination, the contaminants
may percolate or leach out into the groundwater. However, when
contaminated soils are removed or cleaned up, the source of
contamination to the groundwater is eliminated. Mr. McKenna
added that groundwater flow and soil background data are integral
pieces to the baseline risk assessments. Since both of these
have yet to be adequately determined, baseline risk assessments
work is being put on hold. The background study effort is funded
and is being procured by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore
Mr. Rob Thomson of EPA added that
there is a new theory about groundwater flow in the RFAAP area.
Water within the basin or drainage area of RFAAP most likely
flows towards the New River and does not flow off the base,
away from the river, through karst channels.
While there is some uncertainty
about how the water gets to the river, Mr. McKenna explained
that they do know the water is going to the river. RFAAP has
collected a lot of data but still needs more data, such as measuring
water levels of river and comparing that with groundwater levels
in monitoring wells and determining the depth of the river bottom.
Then new wells will be installed below the river bottom to see
if any contamination is seeping down.
Mr. McKenna responded to a question
about AEP water releases from the Claytor Dam and its effect
on the Horseshoe study. RFAAP does not have any influence over
their releases as AEP releases water in response to electric
power demand. Thus any study effort will monitor the river levels
as it occurs from AEP dam releases as this is the reality of
#3. RFAAP IRP Web Site Demo
Ms. Katie Phillips of WPI provided
a demonstration of the new RFAAP IRP web site (www.envnet.org/rfaapirp).
Mr. McKenna reported that the new Installation Action Plan (March
1, 2000) is available on the web site. RFAAP has not received
hard copies of the plan yet because of formatting problems.
Once corrected, a hard copy will be placed in the information
repository. If any RAB member wishes to have his or her own
hard copy, it can be provided.
After the demo, Ms. Phillips asked
if the RAB members had any questions or comments. Ms. Carolyn
Jake asked about the comment form. Ms. Phillips responded that
one comment has been received so far and that comments received
through the web site go to Mr. McKenna and also to Ms. Phillips
as the site webmaster. Mr. McKenna indicated that comments would
be forwarded to the appropriate people for a response.
Ms. Jake asked if the RAB members
were listed on the web site. Ms. Phillips replied that the web
site does not include a separate list of all the RAB members
with contact information, but RAB members names are included
on the meeting minutes.
Ms. Jake asked about the coordination
of responses and how the information is managed. She feels it
is important to see how other organizations manage comments
and suggested having a protocol. When responding to comments
received, Ms. Jake feels there should be a unified voice for
the organization representing RFAAP. RFAAP may need to get public
affairs/relations involved to be responsible for coordination
of responses to comments. LTC Rodney K. Alston added that a
coordinated effort would be required to answer certain questions,
depending on the question and how the comment is tracked (i.e.,
whether the comment is forwarded to other organizations). Mr.
McKenna added that the web sitelike the RABis primarily
for restoration issues and that unrelated comments will be forwarded
to the appropriate person for a response outside of the RAB
or web site.
Ms. Phillips reported that the
web site includes a disclaimer for related web site links per
the U.S. Army web site guidance.
Mr. Freis asked if the web site
is ready to be unveiled and suggested having a press release
about the web site. Ms. Phillips replied that a draft press

The Press Association, the US' Associated Press (AP), Agence France-Presse (AFP), Dutch agency ANP, APA of Austria, APcom of Italy, Canadian Press, dpa of Germany, Kyodo of Japan, Lusa of Portugal and RIA of Russia will all contribute to a Facebook fan page set up for the event.
The Climate Pool page, which had 198 fans at time of writing, will be produced in English and will aim to cover the proceedings in Copenhagen in an interactive way. Multimedia updates will also be posted to the page alongside blog posts, a press release said.
This is the latest experiment in social media coverage of events by the AP following its successful partnership with Yahoo in the summer to report on the hearings of Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
Speaking to Journalism.co.uk, AP executive editor Kathleen Carroll said each project is designed to help the agency better understand what tools are best used for covering certain events and answer questions about social media newsgathering and distribution.
The agency is also recruiting a new social media editor to oversee future projects in this area, she added.
For the UN conference the AP has set up a dedicated Twitter stream, @AP_climatepool, to ask for questions and comments on the happenings from followers.

8 tips on how to regain motivation
In everyone’s life at least once had problems with motivation. Sometimes there is a decline in work or work, one begins to ask themselves the question: «why should I do it?» Or «Why am I doing this?».
This loss of motivation is threatened by the fact that people are simply not able to continue to perform the required work. Nothing happens, everything goes wrong and it does not suit. At this moment it is necessary to bring the situation under control and try to re-light the fire of motivation. But do not forget that quick solutions do not exist, and all you need to think carefully about, perhaps pick up a pen and clearly write everything down.
But there are already a few ready tips that could help many people. Below are some of them:
- It is necessary to focus on the ultimate goal. Every job has an end, even if the process can be boring or unpleasant. But it must be remembered that the end result is always worth the effort.
- A break from work. Any work that is carried out over a long period of time, requires a break, and even better not one. Motivation can fade, if a person works for a long time and, consequently, tired. In this case, even a small amount of time spent at some distance from the workplace, is able to partially restore power and help to think about motivation.
- A short walk. If you sit long on one place, the body and mind start to get tired. In this case, a small walk will help you relax and return to equilibrium.
- Structuring tasks. Sometimes the motivation is just lost in the background of a huge number of tasks that are on the agenda. In such situation it is necessary to structure the tasks and to determine the relevance of each of them. Will become easier to start, as you’ll know which task is of paramount importance.
- A race against time. Some studies have shown that productivity can be increased if each specific impact to start the timer and run it for some time. Trying to perform an action faster than the allotted time, the person starts to think about what the job is boring or unpleasant. He thinks that it must perform faster, while the time on the timer has not expired.
- Change of activity. The best rest is change of activity. If a person feels that it has risen, you need to switch to another task. Changing jobs will help to briefly escape from what does not work, might even give time to think about it. If you change jobs between them, may be even not once, but two or three, it will help to keep yourself in constant motion.
- To carry something light. If the motivation had fallen, and there is still mountains of work, then surely in the task list to find something easy. It can be anything that will not cause difficulties and will be fast enough. Perform any action always there to encourage, a person feels that he is able to perform something. Especially for morale work, which has long waited, when it will perform. In this case, the person will feel wonderful more and that solved the case that had long been postponed.
- To record what had already been done. Often the person who is always doing something, no time to monitor your progress, and it seems that all his actions are futile. Then it is necessary to look back and see what has already been done. Ideally, if you record from the beginning, the stairs. Pride in the fact that already some of the work done, is able again to regain motivation.

If you have a question, look in the list of questions below and see if your question is listed before you contact us.
1. How does loosing weight with Phase 2 work?
Phase 2 prevents the carbohydrates to be processed by your body and be turned into glucose. This prevents the glucose to be turned into fat. The carbohydrates leave the body in a natural way. Your body starts burning fat for the normal daily energy needs. Your fat reserves will be burned and you will immediately start loosing weight in a natural way.
2. What ingredients are used in Phase 2?
Phase 2 contains a special combination of vegetable extracts for people who want to become or stay slim. This combination stimulates your intestines and therefore, certain nutrient, such as fats and sugars, will not be turned into energy. This helps slimming. Phase 2 also contains calcium. Calcium is a natural element in many minerals and rocks. It is necessary for the building of the cell wall. Other ingredients of Phase 2 are Croscarmellose Natrium, Magnesium Stearate and Silica. Phase 2 does not contain synthetic chemicals en is produced in the US under very strict regulations.
3. How should I use Phase 2?
Take one capsule of Phase 2 one hour before each meal with one glass of water. Research has shown that Phase 2 also works if you take it just before or immediately after a meal.
4. Can I eat wahatever I like when I use Phase 2?
Yes you can, but we advise healthy food.
5. Should i follow a diet when I’m using Phase 2?
No, all you have to do is take a capsule before every meal.
6. Are all carbohydrates blocked by Phase 2?
No. Research has shown that Phase 2 blocks about 80% of the carbohydrates you eat. The body needs a small amount of carbohydrates to function properly, for example for the brain function.
7. What scientific evidence is there to show the effect of Phase 2?
A Californian research has shown that patients who have used Phase 2 lost a pound per week. There were also people who used more than 3 pounds per week. In another 8 week study by the Northridge Hospital (UCLA), showed the same results for 50 people. People lost between one and three pounds a week and some lost much more.
8. Does Phase 2 have negative side-effects?
No. Phase 2 is a natural formula for fast weight-loss and contains top quality ingredients. Clinical researches have found no side-effects. Some people do suffer from wind a bit. The quality of Phase 2 is tested frequently.
9. What is the best dose?
Clinical researches have shown that a dose between 500 and 1500 mg is the most effective. People have different metabolism, though, so we advise you to experiment until you find the dose that is best for you. Do stay between the mentioned limits.
10. How much weight can I loose with Phase 2?
Every body is different so the results will vary. People who weigh between 90 and 130 kilos can loose 5 to 7 kilos a week. Bit of you weigh 70 kilo and want to loose three kilos, it will take a bit more time.
11. Is loosing weight with Phase 2 permanent?
Yes. You can keep your own eating pattern, and that prevents the jojo-effect. The jojo-effect often appears with diet that make you eat much less. When you stop dieting and start eating more, your body will store most of the food and you will gain weight very fast because your body is used to the small amounts of food.
12. Do I need a doctersrecipe for Phase 2
No, because Phase 2 is a food supplement with the best vegetable ingredients.

Now that Donald Trump has become the presumptive GOP nominee, it’s time for him to start considering who he’ll have in his cabinet if he wins come November, and apparently he has been. He already has someone in mind for an attorney general, and it might not be who you think it is.
As Trump has repeatedly stated throughout his campaign, he’s only going to hire the best and the brightest for each position in his cabinet, regardless of how well they get along. That’s what any smart businessman does – he hires people based on their merits rather than their personal relationship.
With that in mind, it makes sense that he would want a strong Constitutional attorney overseeing our nation’s Justice Department, especially after the last seven years of lawlessness. According to the Political Insider, that’s exactly who he’s considering.
Check it out:
During a recent interview, Dr. Carson made a huge announcement about who he believes will be Trump’s Attorney General: Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). He is a tough attorney and would be an ideal candidate to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her crimes!
Ben Carson on Wednesday floated Ted Cruz as a possible attorney general in a Donald Trump administration, noting that it could allow Cruz to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
“I think he would be terrific on the Supreme Court, or I think he would be a terrific attorney general. Or he could be both,” Carson told Fox News Radio’s John Gibson.
Carson was asked whether it would be “smart” for Trump, now the presumptive GOP nominee, to nominate Cruz to the Supreme Court.
“He could be attorney general first, you know, go ahead and prosecute Hillary, and then go on the Supreme Court,” Carson added.
Carson admitted that there are “deep wounds” though and it may “take a little while for that to occur.”
Boom! While he wouldn’t have been able to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, it would be awesome to watch him fry her in a courtroom. Let’s just hope that Trump gets elected so that fantasy can become a reality.

December 5, 2011
Pope Benedict said the global economic crisis demands the "courage of brotherhood" between the world's rich and poor, and calls on the Church to look at the causes of poverty.
The pope, addressing officials of Caritas Italy Nov. 24, said, "Responding to the needy means not only giving bread to the hungry person, but also reflecting on the causes that led to his hunger, with the gaze of Jesus who knew how to see the deep reality of the people who came close to him."
The Church needs to look closely at the economic crisis and resulting flows of human migration, he said.
It must also consider the divide between the North and South.
Humanity does not need only benefactors, he said, but also "humble and concrete people who, like Jesus, know how to place themselves at the side of their brothers and sisters, sharing a little of their burden."

TU and KCWA partnered with the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Lab in Pittsburgh, PA to conduct an airborne remote sensing survey of the abandoned mine drainage in lower Kettle Creek watershed. This study uses infrared and geophysical instruments to gather data on the location of abandoned mine drainage. The data collected provides useful information for selecting and prioritizing mine drainage treatment alternatives.
The thermal infrared component of the survey uses heat or infrared radiation to locate groundwater seeps. This works on the principle that when the ground is frozen, groundwater will be relatively warmer and thus shows up as a hot spot on the imagery. Although it cannot determine if the water is clean or polluted, it is a valuable tool in that it can help to locate the diffuse and often remote abandoned mine drainage seeps. This portion of the study was conducted via airplane in late March 2002 and an intensive groundtruthing effort was completed later in June 2002.
The geophysics portion of the project uses an array of instruments (flown over via helicopter) that take advantage of the physical characteristics of abandoned mine drainage (i.e. electrical conductivity). Collected data will show where the abandoned mine drainage is flowing and most importantly, the locations of deep mine pools. With this technology, mine pools can be located up to 300 feet underground. This information is particularly valuable because mine maps are not available for much of the study area.
TU and KCWA are thrilled that the Kettle Creek watershed is the site for this airborne remote sensing study. It is the first time that this cutting-edge technology has been used on such a large area (50 square miles). In addition, the possibilities for applying this technology to other environmental concerns reach far beyond abandoned mine drainage studies. Funding has been made possible by the Growing Greener Program and the Army Corps of Engineers.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, an automatic assembly line has been launched and the assembly of aircraft on new equipment has already begun.
Installation of the largest automated production assembly line in Russia for aircraft was started at Aviastar-SP in November last year. Two robotic stations were mounted at the enterprise, each of which automatically docked the fuselage, wing and tail sections, as well as six automated stations for installing systems, a power plant and workshop processing.
The advantage of using such technologies is that significantly reduces the time of operations on individual sections of the line. Accordingly, the time required for the complete assembly of the aircraft is reduced.
The final assembly line (...) consists of several stations providing complete assembly of the aircraft. One of the most important is the docking station for the fuselage compartments and the assembly of the airframe, which include stands of the Russian-made unstacked automated assembly. Automation reduces fuselage docking and glider assembly time. (...) will reduce the complexity of docking
- says the website of the Ilyushin Aviation Complex.
As previously reported, this year the Ulyanovsk aircraft manufacturers handed over to the Ministry of Defense two serial IL-76MD-90A after a four-year break, the third transport carrier undergoes a set of tests.
The press service of Ilyushin noted that it was planned to transfer five new military transport planes Il-2019MD-76А to the Ministry of Defense in 90. In total, the Russian military department plans to purchase up to 2030 of the year over 100 of these aircraft, as well as fuel tankers based on them.
The heavy military transport IL-76MD-90A is a profound modernization of the IL-76MD aircraft. The new IL-76MD-90A, unlike the drill IL-76MD, is equipped with PS-90A-76 engines with a thrust of up to 14,5 tons instead of the "standard" D-30KP2 with a thrust of up to 12 tons. At IL-76MD-90A, the carrying capacity increased to 60 tons and the range of delivery of troops and cargo - up to 5000 km.

The dynamics of a two-component Davydov-Scott (DS) soliton with a small mismatch of the initial location or velocity of the high-frequency (HF) component was investigated within the framework of the Zakharov-type system of two coupled equations for the HF and low-frequency (LF) fields. In this system, the HF field is described by the linear Schrödinger equation with the potential generated by the LF component varying in time and space. The LF component in this system is described by the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a term of quadratic influence of the HF field on the LF field. The frequency of the DS soliton`s component oscillation was found analytically using the balance equation. The perturbed DS soliton was shown to be stable. The analytical results were confirmed by numerical simulations.

Rep. Jim McGovern has denounced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s remarks about the attack on Paul Pelosi.
McGovern said Greene assaulted the House Speaker’s husband against herself.
He also called out Greene for encouraging political violence against Democrats in the past.
Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern on Friday berated GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for violently attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband over her.
Early Friday, an intruder broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco home and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer, leaving the 82-year-old hospitalized. The suspect was apparently looking for the Speaker of the House, but she was not home at the time.
In response to the attack, Greene tweeted that “violence and crime is rampant in Joe Biden’s America”, adding that “it shouldn’t happen to me”. She noted that she had been beaten several times and received death threats daily.
McGovern denounced Greene and blamed him for calling for Pelosi’s execution in the past.
“YOU called for the execution of Nancy Pelosi. YOU said she should be hanged for treason,” the Massachusetts lawmaker said. tweeted. “And now that someone listened, you’re doing Paul Pelosi’s attack on YOU. That’s what Republicans stand for, America. That’s sick.”
Greene recently testified that she does not recall supporting political violence against members of the Democratic Party, including Pelosi. However, in a Facebook video in 2019, Greene called Pelosi “a traitor to our country.”
“She is sworn to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she aids and comforts our enemies who are unlawfully invading our land. That is what treason is,” Greene allegedly said at the time, according to CNN. “And by our law, representatives and senators can be expelled and no longer serve in our government. And that’s a crime punishable by death, that’s what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason.”

5.5 inches IPS display screen with full HD plus quality will be available when the phone first hits the market, according to reports.
This means that the aspect ratio of the Telenor Infinity’s i5 will be 18:9. Surprisingly, the smartphone includes a fingerprint reader that is positioned on the back of the device, allowing the owner to better protect his or her data from others.
The phone’s battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh. Because of these characteristics of the new Telenor Infinity i5, which includes a powerful battery, an amazing display panel, and the most important feature of the new Infinity i5, which is its 4G LTE connectivity, the company will be forced to think of something new if it wants to remain competitive on the market.

A joint research carried out at the University of Granada in Spain and Marche Polytechnic University in Italy has confirmed reports that strawberries are a rich source of antioxidants. The research was carried out on 12 healthy people for a few months.
The findings indicate that flavonoids which are phenolic compounds are found in strawberries and they are a rich source of antioxidants that help the body in combating oxidative stress.
During the study, the 12 people were fed with approximately 5oo grams on a daily basis. Their blood sample was collected for examination on the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th day. A sample was also procured from the volunteers on the last day of the month.
Antioxidants are important because they strengthen the blood plasma and also increase the red blood cells’ resistance to fragmentation. Apart from that antioxidants present in the body also act on various other levels such as they correct imbalances that occur due to certain diseases such as cardiovascular ailments and cancer and also act in case of physiological reactions that can include the process of ageing, and physical exertion. A lack of antioxidants will lead to the increase of oxidants in the body. This can trigger and accelerate various phenomena such as rapid ageing.
The researchers are also of the opinion that various types of strawberries contain various levels of antioxidants. Therefore, the research is now being aimed to look at the variable antioxidants found in various types of strawberries.
Strawberries are known to be high in vitamin C and now that it has been established that they are also a rich source of antioxidants. Therefore, it is important to include them in your healthy eating regime and are consumedon a daily basis.

To hypnotise yourself using the techniques employed by a trained hypnotherapist seems to some impossible. Self hypnosis is completely possible because one perspective of hypnosis, is that all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Hypnosis is a talking therapy and so if you are not prepared to listen and accept the messages and suggestions, then you will not make changes. If you want to learn to hypnotise your self using self hypnosis, you are not unusual. Many therapists, like me, teach self hypnosis which includes simple affirmations, points of pausing from one behaviour to adopt another, teaching the patient to get into a different mind set, so that the patient can operate in a more useful way, for example, when they are triggered to smoke or over eat, managing this trigger, staying calm and staying in control.
There are lots of ways to hypnotise yourself and put yourself into a light trance.
Follow the simple steps below and have a go.
Step 1 Before you hypnotise yourself plan what you want to change and the positive message you want to give yourself to reach your goals.
Either plan some useful messages you want to give yourself.
Useful messages which you may want to give yourself as you hypnotise yourself include:
I am a confident person
I am in control of my eating/drinking/gambling/spending.
I am calm
Or plan useful images, or a mix of both.
Useful images may include picturing yourself:
Living a healthy lifestyle
Step 2 Get in position.
Find a nice comfortable position before you start to hypnotise yourself and adopt a relaxed posture. You can be sat down, lay down or whatever works for you. Aim for an open body position so legs and arms uncrossed and something to rest you’re head on. You can do this sat in your car, in a supportive office chair on the sofa or lay on the floor.
Step 3 set your eyes on the prize.
To hypnotise yourself close your eyes or shut out the world by focussing on a spot on the wall in the room you are in. Now, focus on what you want to change or do differently. This could be becoming slimmer, end excessive drinking, adopt a healthy (smoke-free) lifestyle. Set your goals around what you want, avoiding setting goals in negative terms. (I want to have fresh breath, more money to spend, better health instead of I don’t want to smoke).
Step 4 Relax into a new you.
Focus on your breathing. Slow deep calm breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth or if you prefer in and out through your mouth. Do this three times and then give your next breath after that a colour. It will be your colour of relaxation. Imagine it flowing into your lungs, getting deeper and deeper in colour as you continue to breathe slowly and calmly.
Step 5 Immerse your whole self in relaxation.
Notice as the colour in your lungs starts to spread around your body. Notice wherever it goes it releases all the tensions of that part of your body leaving you calm and relaxed. Notice how it spreads first to your toes and slowly up your body.
At the same time you will focus on your out breath. Each time you breathe out you will imagine that you are gently blowing all your troubles away and that they are floating deeper and deeper into space. Floating further and further away leaving you trouble free, tranquil and calm.
Once you have moved up your body to your head, you are ready for the next step.
Step 6 Hypnotise yourself into your hypnotic world.
Imagine yourself doing something you enjoy as you will repeat a version of it 10 times and with each time it will take you to a level of deep relaxation. This could be playing 10 holes of golf, watching your float and catching a fish, swimming past a buoy, driving passed the next service station whatever you enjoy doing. Whatever you choose use all your senses when you imagine the activity you enjoy doing.
An example for someone who enjoys swimming in the ocean would be:
Imagine yourself in the warm sea. You can see the crystal blue ocean with clear blue skies above with one gentle fluffy cloud moving slowly for the left to the right of the scene, hear the ocean waves and notice the tingling sensations on your body of the tiny bubbles escaping from under you as you swim toward as buoy. As you swim in these safe and supportive waters towards the next ten buoys, just in front of you, you will reward yourself by going deeper and deeper in trance.
Now start swimming, focus on the sensation of your strokes and what it feels like to be immersed in your enjoyable activity. Notice as you pass each buoy how much more relaxed you feel and by the time you are at number five you are very deeply relaxed, away from all other distractions and detached from you surroundings. By the time you reach number seven you can only feel, sense what is going on and that you are completely relaxed, by the time your pass eight you as tranquil, nine safe and silent and 10 completely serene.
As you pass the 10th you notice three rings in the water.
Step 7 Hypnotise yourself with your hypnotic suggestion.
Each ring has a picture or a message written on it. The message could be a source of strength for dealing with your chosen goal. It may be to remain calm in difficult situations, it may be confidence or it may be even a picture of how you want to see yourself in a six months time’
Put on the rings and as you do read out the message or absorb the image and you will take on the power of each ring,
The message on the rings is your positive message for your self so it may be “I will remain calm in difficult situations or I am a good person or I will succeed any message or image which is positive and useful to your goals.
Step 8 Return as a new you.
When you have placed the rings on your fingers you can return to the start of your swim and as you get closer to the starting point you will become more aware of your surrounding until you are completely restored to the room.
Step 9: Discover a new you.
Repeated use of this self hypnosis technique will allow you to change. Some changes will be immediate, such as feeling and being able to feel relaxed, other changes may take more time.
As you practise self hypnosis, you will find the technique easier and easier to utilise so......................
Keep practising to keep growing

Sir Elton John turns 72 today, which is a testament to his ability to survive the trappings of fame and excess. Elton John has managed to maintain cultural relevance throughout 50 years in the rock and roll business, a business not known for the longevity of its brightest stars.
He celebrated the occasion by announcing the October release of his autobiography Me, Elton John on Twitter. As he did so, the singer wore a gold-emblazoned suit and glasses that would make Liberace, one of his early inspirations, blush.
Also this year, Rocketman, a biopic based on John’s life, is scheduled for release. The movie will hit theaters on May 31. He is portrayed by actor Taron Egerton from the Kingsman franchise. John had a cameo in Kingsman: The Golden Circle in 2017. John’s famed lyricist, Bernie Taupin, is played by Jamie Bell.
The recently released teaser shows the film to be an expansive overview of the musician’s journey, according to Rolling Stone. The film touches on key points in John life — from his humble beginnings outside of London, to his decision to change his birth name, Reginald Dwight. Rocketman further chronicles his rise to stardom, his struggles with addiction, and the stresses of being a gay superstar in the 1970s.
The 72-year-old Elton John is currently part-way through the “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” world tour he began in September of 2018. Billed as his farewell tour, the septuagenarian is performing in 300 cities through 2021. When tickets went on sale in February of 2018, the first 60 shows sold out in a matter of hours, according to Forbes.
“My priorities have changed in my life,” Elton John told Deadline in January of 2018. “Ten years ago if you asked me if I would stop touring I would have said no. But we had children and that changed our lives. I have had an amazing life and career but my life has changed. My priorities are now my children and my husband and my family.”
The end of John’s touring life is not a sign of the end of his creative output. He is currently working on a Broadway musical based on the film The Devil Wears Prada. He has reconnected with Disney, and is currently working on their remake of The Lion King. Through his film company, Rocket Pictures, he’s producing the animated pic Sherlock Gnomes, as well as an animated version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, according to Deadline.
Rock stars do not tend to grow old well, if they grow old at all. The “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” lifestyle of excess has claimed the lives of far too many young, talented artists who lived the unfortunate cliche of living fast and dying young.
Elton John’s perseverance helps break that cliche, and the world is most definitely a better place with him living in it.

Reduced order power system models for transient stability studies
MetadataShow full item record
As the load on the power system grows and new transmission facilities become increasingly difficult to build, the utilities must look to ways to make the most of the current transmission system. Adaptive relaying is one way to enhance the ability of the power system. On the Florida - Georgia interface an adaptive out-of-step relay is being installed. This relay determines if swings on the power system will remain stable by performing a better then real-time transient stability study. Because of the computing capacity required for a transient stability study, the study cannot be performed on the full power system. A reduced model must be used. In this thesis, various methods of obtaining reduced models for use in the relay will be explored. The models will be verified with a full system model using Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Extended Transient-Midterm Stability Package (ETMSP).

BERLIN: Franco-German aircraft maker Airbus has written to clients warning them of more possible delays in deliveries of its A380 superjumbo, a German magazine report said on Sunday.
The company will "nearly" manage to deliver 13 of the aircraft this year as planned, the report cited unnamed insiders as saying, but it will definetly not be able to deliver the promised 25 in 2009.
It is also highly questionable "whether we will be able to manage to produce four (A380) aircraft a month as planned in the foreseeable future," the magazine cited its source as saying.
A spokeswoman for Airbus declined to comment, reiterating that the company's chief executive of nine months Thomas Anders was currently conducting a review of the A380 programme.
Airbus, a unit of EADS, delivered the first A380 to Singapore Airlines last October - 18 months late - due to production problems.
Seventeen airlines have so far ordered or committed to ordering 193 A380s, the world's largest passenger airline.
The A380 has been beset by huge delays and cost overruns running into billions of euros (dollars), helping to drag EADS into the red and prompting a management shake-up and a major restructuring programme.

As it was announced in a historic ceremony yesterday, one of the most influential leaders in Turkey's history, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is unsurprisingly the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) candidate for the country's first ever direct presidential election. From the beginning, Erdoğan has been the favorite even before the declaration of his candidacy. In addition to that, recent polls predict that he would win over 50 percent of the votes and that would make him the 12th president of the Turkish Republic on the first round of the election which will be held on Aug. 10.
Meanwhile, the pro-Kurdish People's Democracy Party (HDP) nominated the party's co-chairman Selahattin Demirtaş as its candidate on Monday.It seems as though Demirtaş's candidacy is a strategic move by the HDP to make harder the first round for Erdoğan by means of blocking the votes of the Kurds who are not blindly against Erdoğan. Forcing him to the second round will come to mean that he is not the sole authority over the ongoing Kurdish-Turkish peace talks. In Turkey, a country where even speaking in Kurdish was forbidden before the AK Party era, today, a pro-Kurdish party nominates their pro-Kurdish leader as a candidate for presidency with a pro-Kurdish discourse. It seems that not only the presidential election system changes, but also the motives of politics change in the "new Turkey".
On the other side, the main opposition parties, the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) submitted a joint application to nominate Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu as their presidential candidate on the weekend. The former president of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, would be an unimaginable candidate for the opposition if the race was held in the "old Turkey." In fact, the CHP would be first to oppose İhsanoğlu's candidacy since he was born in Cairo and came to the fore with his "Muslim" identity.
Since today, the CHP's "laïcité" understanding was so puritan. They were behaving as if it was not a concept of secularism but the religion of Kemalizm. That's why, anyone who is even merely close to Islam, was seen as a threat to the state by them.
Even today, some of them cannot stand the idea. A group of CHP members was in the quest to nominate another candidate who fit their laic values. Several names were mentioned but none dared to come to the forefront until now since it will eventually divide the party.
Despite that, İhsanoğlu is a meticulously-thought-out project of the anti-Erdoğan circles who aim to get some of the "Muslim" votes and widen the consensus against Erdoğan. We can predict a campaign of "Islam against Islam" where they will try to portray Erdoğan as a "radical" and İhsanoğlu as "moderate." But aiming to get votes of Muslims, the İhsanoğlu camp seems to lose seculars. That's why the reports began to circulate as "a relative of İhsanoğlu said that he never saw him performing salaat" in order to convince the laics that İhsanoğlu is not a "performing Muslim."
The nomination of Cairo-born İhsanoğlu for presidential candidacy by the CHP, a party that generally cites the Middle East as a bog, is a big development although his name repulses their supporters. Yes they chose İhsanoğlu reluctantly after a desperate search to beat Erdoğan. And yet, the change is still a change even though it is involuntary.

This research estimated the surface water fraction from MODIS 16-day 500 m Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) corrected surface reflectance image composites. The spatial extent of two Landsat tiles over Spain were selected as test areas. We obtained a 500 m reference dataset on surface water fraction by spatially aggregating 30 m binary water masks derived from the C-version of Function of Mask (CFmask), which themselves were evaluated against high-resolution Google Earth imagery. Twelve regression tree models were developed with two approaches, Random Forest and Cubist, using spectral metrics derived from MODIS data and topographic parameters generated from a 30 m spatial resolution digital elevation model. Results showed that accuracies were higher when we included annual summary statistics of the spectral metrics as predictor variables. Models trained on a single Landsat tile were ineffective in mapping surface water in the other tile, but global models trained with environmental conditions from both tiles can provide accurate results for both study areas. We achieved the highest accuracy with Cubist global model (R2 = 0.91, RMSE = 11.05%, MAE = 7.67%). Our approach is promising for monitoring surface water fraction at high frequency time intervals over much larger regions provided that training data are collected across the spatial domain for which the model will be applied.

The brooch may be experiencing a comeback in the fashion world, but the Don’t Cast Me Away collection embraces it in an unusual way. The pins come together in abstract ways that mimic the structure of scaffolding. Of course, there is no real structure when it comes to their application.
Designed by jewelry designer and goldsmith Galit Barak, the Don’t Cast Me Away collection is an exploratory project that "examines society’s quest to preserve the aged body, juxtaposed by its natural decline and extinction," as written on Design Milk. In particular, the designer was inspired by everyday degrading architecture, hence the comparison to scaffolding. Delicate and minimalist, the Don’t Cast Me Away collection can take on a number of shapes and forms depending on the person.

Characteristics of Lempeni Tree (Ardisia elliptica) in the Wild
Published by Admin on 02/11/2021 In category Fruit Tree
When the lempeni tree is planted in new areas as an ornamental plant, when the seeds spread and easily become invasive species such as in Puerto Rico, Australia (Queensland, Northern Territory), Southern Florida, Caribbean, Mascarene Islands, Seychelles, and in some Pacific islands such as Hawaii.
In favorable conditions, the lempeni tree can bear fruit at the age of 2-3. Mature plants in forests with sufficient sunlight can bear fruit/hundreds of fruits. However, in the shady conditions, lempeni can still bear fruit but not too much.
The seeds can grow quickly if they fall under a shady, damp mother tree. The fruit is very popular with birds and is one of the favorite fruit-eating mammals.
Characteristics of Lempeni Leaf
The leaves are elliptical with a shiny smooth texture.
Characteristics of Lempeni Flower
The flowers are umbrella-shaped developing on the leaf axils of the leaf branches. The petals are white to pink.
Characteristics of Lempeni Fruit
The fruit is single clustered, first green and turning red when they mature and then purple/black when ripe. Each fruit is about 5-6 mm in size. The seeds are round in shape with a diameter of about 4-5 mm. When the ripe fruit is squeezed by hand, the liquid can make fingers purple.
Characteristics of Lempeni Tree
Lempeni trees grow to form shrubs that can reach up to 5 meters in height. The tree is tough and can live in almost all types of soil in the forest. The trunk is single with short, perpendicular branches.
