Sean Hannity says the allegations made against Roy Moore by several women are "false." On November 9, the Fox News host defended the Alabama Senate candidate, who has been accused of having sexual relationships with teenage girls during his 30s.
Sean Hannity is defending Roy Moore
Speaking to Lynda McLaughlin on The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity said the claims were only "false allegations" made especially at big companies with money.
"How do you possibly tell, know the truth...it's he said, she said," Hannity told McLaughlin.
He also said the alleged acts were consensual. "Okay, so, the two other girls were older in this case. He was apparently, like, 32, and he dated -- one girl was 18, one girl was 17. There was no sexual -- there was kissing involved, and then they're saying this one encounter with a 14-year-old."

Sean Hannity admits he misspoke
Later, on his Fox show, Hannity admitted that he misspoke when he said it was a consensual relationship between Moore and 14-year-old Leigh Corfman, who is now 53.
However, the left media had a field day with his comments nonetheless. Hannity took to Twitter to vent his frustration with the "Fake News" outlets.
"As I said on TV tonight, I apologize when I misspoke and was not totally clear earlier today. It's really sad when the lazy media....— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) November 10, 2017

Ireland plane crash in heavy fog kills 6
Crash occurred during 3rd attempt to land at Cork Airport
A small commuter aircraft carrying 12 people crashed and flipped over Thursday while trying to land in heavy fog at Cork Airport in southwest Ireland, killing six people, police said.
Police Supt. Charlie Barry said four of the six survivors were hospitalized in serious condition, chiefly with broken ribs and limbs, while two others escaped with minor cuts and scrapes.
"Two actually walked out, miraculously," he said.
The Irish Aviation Authority responsible for running the airport said the fog was so thick that air traffic controllers in a nearby tower could not see the crash, only hear it.
The Irish Aviation Authority said the aircraft — a twin-engined turboprop leased to Isle of Man-based airline Manx2.com and operated by a Barcelona-based company called Flightline BCN — aborted two attempts to land before crashing on the third attempt.
It had been travelling from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Authority chief executive Eamonn Brennan said the pilots had been trying to land using instruments. He said prevailing winds were weak and not a factor, while Cork frequently suffers from fog.
Brennan said the pilot first tried to land on the southern runway but pulled up, then immediately tried again on the northern runway but aborted that too. He said the pilot waited another 20 minutes, then tried the southern runway again — but landed either just short of the tarmac or in the grass to the right.
"The visibility was so bad that the tower was not in position to see the aircraft when it impacted," he said.
Landing attempt criticized by expert
Aviation expert David Learmount criticized the pilots' decision to attempt three landings in fog, describing the visibility as "just not good enough."
"It's not normal to try a third time to make a landing. After two goes, you normally try to go to your designated diversion airfield," said Learmount, operations and safety editor of Flight Global magazine.
Television footage of the crash scene showed that the aircraft's wings were shorn off and the entire front half of the fuselage was crushed. The wreckage came to rest upside down with the landing gear extended and intact. The tail was protruding upward, with comparatively little external damage evident to the rear seating area of the aircraft.
Barry said emergency firefighters doused a fire in one of the plane's engines within three minutes. He said those killed were predominantly in the front half of the aircraft.
Brennan said the aircraft was a Fairchild Metroliner, a 19-seat turboprop aircraft manufactured in San Antonio, Texas, in 1992. Barry said it was carrying 10 adult passengers, a pilot and co-pilot.
Cork Airport's runway has been closed and all incoming flights are being diverted to Shannon, the larger airport in southwestern Ireland.
Thursday's crash was the deadliest in Irish aviation since 1968, when an Aer Lingus flight from Cork to London crashed into the Irish Sea, killing all 61 on board.

Equity futures are higher this morning as what appears to be a subwave 2 bounce continues. The dollar is slightly lower, bonds are slightly higher after yesterday's potential topping candle, oil is higher after finally finding support yesterday, and gold is lower so far today.
Although nothing to write home about, the weekly Jobless number came in less than the psychological 500k mark at 473,000 which is still horrific. The prior week was revised higher to 504,000 and the consensus was looking for 495k. Here's Econoday:
Jobless claims swung lower in the August 21 week in what should slow the deepening pessimism. Initial claims fell 31,000 for the second biggest decline of the year. Yet the 473,000 level is still on the high side when compared to levels in July, evident in the four-week average of 486,750 which is the worst since November. The prior week was revised 4,000 higher to 504,000, also the highest level since November.
On the continuing side, continuing claims fell 62,000 in data for the August 14 week. The 4.456 million level is the best of the recovery as is the four-week average of 4.509 million. The unemployment rate for insured workers fell one tenth to 3.5 percent. The continuing news is probably good news for the jobs outlook, suggesting that those who have been out of work are increasingly finding jobs. But some of the decline also reflects the expiration of benefits as job seekers simply fall out of the insured labor pool.
Stock futures are getting a lift from this report though the outlook for the July employment report still isn't very bright. The jobs market is certain to turn up in tomorrow's comments from Ben Bernanke.
They'll mention a falling moving average, but fail to report on the primary average that is rising. According to the Department of Labor, "The 4-week moving average was 486,750, an increase of 3,250 from the previous week's revised average of 483,500."
Also according to the DOL, "States reported 4,899,646 persons claiming EUC (Emergency Unemployment Compensation) benefits for the week ending Aug. 7, an increase of 199,493 from the prior week. There were 2,993,925 claimants in the comparable week in 2009."
Of course the EUC number jumping 200,000 in one week doesn't even get mentioned, nor does the fact that there are nearly 2 million more people drawing EUC this year (during the supposed "recovery") than there was last year. Corn syrup for everybody, rounds are on the house!
Tomorrow is the Q2 GDP revision, the consensus is looking for it to be revised down from 2.4% to 1.3%. That's a large adjustment they are expecting, it may be difficult for their Enron accounting to come up lower than that. Consumer Sentiment is also released tomorrow.
Yesterday produced yet another Hindenburg Omen, the 4th clean one to go along with one other that was on the line, and yet another that was extremely close. Again, this extends the four month window that the market is vulnerable to significant declines, and is an internal indicator of continued poor market health.
Below is a 3 month daily chart of the SPX, you can see that prices fell yesterday morning to support at 1040 and bounced. The favored count has this bounce as a small degree wave 2, and if that's true, it may only make it up to fill the gap just under 1070ish, maybe a little higher. There are always other ways to count the action, however, so let's remain aware of those. One more bullish way to count it is that instead of being in 3 of 3 down, we simply did a wave b of a larger wave 2 and now we're beginning wave c of 2. But that's much lower odds from my perspective, especially with confirmed H&S patterns in play - I'm just pointing out one alternative.
So far the DOW and S&P futures have been confined to the down channel I've been tracking, below is a 30 minute chart. You can see that this morning's reaction to the sub 500k number still has not pushed beyond it. Keep in mind that this market is very vulnerable and could roll hard at any time:
The talk of the town is that all the bad data of late means that more wild central banker schemes are going to come roaring in to "save" us. Honestly, I don't know who can think that way, especially now that it's perfectly clear to anyone with more than two neurons that the fact is they are not just powerless, but they are the problem. So, if bad news is good because we're going to be saved, then good news must also be good because we don't need to be saved? This is the same convoluted and neurotic thinking that has gotten us and the markets where we are – we've seen that low brow mentality before, it's time for the Fed and for the markets to get back to where they once belonged!

Blaze comes close to property before crews beat it back
UPDATE 11.50AM: Flames came within 50 metres of a Brendonna Rd property this morning, as Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Gladstone crew members battled an inaccessible blaze at Beecher State Forest.
No property or people were injured during the close call, which is believed to have occurred around 8am this morning.
The Department of Emergency Services has since lowered the severity of the incident, with fire crews working to build containment lines around properties along the stretch of road.
Calliope Rural Fire Brigade and Queensland Parks are currently at the scene.
A hazy smog created from preventative back burning measures has now disappeared across Gladstone.
UPDATE 10.50AM: Staff at the Brendonna Boarding Kennels and Cattery say they do not feel threatened by the neighbouring vegetation fire in Beecher State Forest this morning.
Despite workers at the pet hostel waking to a blanket of smoke, it seems the fire is posing no direct danger to any of the animals.
The business is located along the Dawson Highway in Burua and is a safe distance from the fire.
The fire has not affected the business of the boarding kennel.
Firefighters are continuing to fight the fire this morning.
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service has just issued a high grass fire danger warning for the Central region.
Today is expected to bring high fire weather for parts of the region, which will include very hot and dry winds.
The service said high temperatures and relative low humidity could make it difficult to contain vegetation fires.
Firies are battling about 33 fires across the state.
EARLIER: As Gladstone residents woke to a blanket of smoke haze, it was confirmed crews from Parks and Wildlife had returned to the Beecher fire scene around 7am.
A Department of Emergency Services spokesperson said crews from Gladstone and rural brigades had been fighting the vegetation fire until 11pm last night.
No properties are under threat from the blaze.
Rural brigades returned to the scene at 9am.
"The fire is burning safely in the containment lines," the spokesperson said this morning.
The grass fire started at Brendonna Rd, Beecher around 11pm on Wednesday.
Is the smoke affecting your area? Send us a photo to email@example.com and we'll post them online.
UPDATE 1.15pm: Multiple crews are on scene at a fire burning in the Beecher State Forest, near Brendonna Rd, east of Calliope.
The fire broke out about 11pm yesterday and is burning in an inaccessible area.
Fire crews are conducting backburning operations on scene in an effort to contain the blaze.
A large amount of smoke will affect residents and motorists travelling along Brendonna Rd, Thomsen Rd and the Dawson Highway as firefighters work in the area.
The Queensland Rural Fire Service has asked motorists to drive to conditions.
There is no threat to property at this time.
EARLIER: Rural fire brigades are continuing to fight a grass fire near Calliope this morning.
It's believed the Calliope Rural Fire Brigade was fighting the blaze near Brendonna Rd, Burua around 1am this morning.
It's unknown how large the fire is at this stage, but Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Gladstone said it posed no direct threat to properties.
A Department of Community Services spokesperson said rural fire crews would continue to monitor the fire closely today.
Is this fire burning near you? Email details or photos to firstname.lastname@example.com

Tributes abound for "heroic" Tim Fischer
TRIBUTES to the life's work of former Deputy Prime Minister and National Party leader Tim Fischer, 73, have been flowing in from all quarters of Australian society. Mr Fischer passed away in Albury on August 22 from complications brought on by his long-running battle with acute leaukaemia.
Mr Fischer was one of Australia's great 'do-ers' in politics, championing major infrastructure projects to benefit rural Australia and he was a prime mover in promoting and achieving Inland Rail. The Vietnam veteran has been highly acclaimed for his work with former Prime Minister John Howard in bringing through Australia's world-acclaimed gun buyback scheme in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre.
Mr Howard acknowledged how hard this feat was for Mr Fischer across rural Australia and on national radio yesterday called him "heroic".
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, "Tim Fischer was a big Australian in every sense of the word. Big in stature, big in his belief, big in his passion, big in his vision for what Australians could achieve and big in his view of Australia's place in the world. As a result, Tim Fischer will forever cast a big shadow on our nation."
Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Kate Carnell said Mr Fischer was "a great Australian and a champion of small business".
"The former Deputy Prime Minister was passionate about rural and regional Australia and rarely gave a speech without telling a story about a local business that was doing amazing things," Ms Carnell said. "Who could forget his support for Australian brands like Mick's Whips?
"He had a tremendous political career and should be remembered for his significant contribution to Australian public life. Tim Fischer walked his own path with honesty and humility and that is what Australians loved about him."
Tim Fischer served as Deputy Prime Minister from March 1996 to July 1999 and led the federal parliamentary National Party for more than nine years. A former NSW state MP, he was elected to the southern central NSW federal seat of Farrer in 1984 and re-elected five times before retiring in 2001.
"Mr Fischer, who served as Trade Minister in the Howard Government, was esteemed by his Coalition colleagues, respected by his opponents and loved by Australians everywhere as he travelled the country in his trademark Akubra hat," Prime Minister Morrison said
"He was an all in conviction politician. This integrity and resolve were underlined when he stood firm with Prime Minister Howard on tough new gun laws following the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. They are Tim Fischer's gun laws too.
"Gun laws were not popular in regional Australia in 1996 and Tim Fischer took to the highways and byways to persuade and convince regional Australians about the need for change. I believe this was his finest moment. Australia will always be in his debt," he said.
"Before entering parliament, Tim Fischer served as an Australian Army Officer in Vietnam. As a parliamentarian, he always demonstrated a deep loyalty and affection to service personnel and veterans.
"Later in life, he was chairman of Tourism Australia where I had the privilege to serve with him," Mr Morison said. "Tim also served as national chair of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. From 2009-12, he served as Australia's first resident Ambassador to the Holy See. Tim Fischer also wrote several books, including a number of books about trains – one of his great passions.
"My government will be offering Tim's family a state funeral to celebrate his life and extraordinary contribution to Australia."

There's little dispute that The Orange Box has been one of 2007's most eagerly anticipated titles. It's one of our highest-rated games this year for PC and Xbox 360, thanks to the craftsmanship of both Valve's storytelling and the developer's technical prowess. It's indisputably one of the best package deals you'll get this year. On PS3, however, Valve has turned the reins over to a UK-based branch of EA, which has translated Valve's magic to the Cell processor. The best thing that we can say about EA's port of The Orange Box is that EA has managed to get this fine compilation to run on the PS3. The catch is that it seems to run and trip over its virtual shoelaces along the way.
Long Live the Free Man!
The Orange Box's first offering is Half-Life 2. Without giving away too many spoilers, you'll be taking on the role of scientist Gordon Freeman, who awakens a few decades after the first game's events and finds himself in City 17, a totalitarian urban center run by Dr. Breen, humanity's puppet leader. The real leaders are the Combine, an alien race that has subdued humanity and plundered the Earth. Gordon is immediately welcomed to the resistance effort by other scientists, including Dr. Kleiner and Dr. Eli Vance. Eli's daughter Alyx accompanies you off and on throughout your adventures, and also harbors a crush on Gordon. The action will extend beyond the first game's ending with Episode One, in which you and Alyx will fight to escape City 17. In Episode Two, you'll find yourselves on the outskirts of the city, with a crucial mission on your hands.
HL2 has seen a major visual facelift since the 2005 Xbox port, with greater detail and various updates for HD-generation consoles. In an exclusive touch for the platform, PS3 owners can quicksave at any point in the game. It really comes in handy during crucial moments in which you'd have to backtrack on the 360 version. Unfortunately, it seems implemented as a balancing measure. The load times don't seem too optimized for Sony's hardware. Loading is significantly longer than in the 360 version, so you'll need to hold down the Start button quite a bit. Also, near the end of Half-Life 2 our save file corrupted, which made us exceptionally unhappy.
Although the 360 version runs at up to 1080p with plenty of visual setting options to tweak, EA UK's port runs at 720p native and doesn't feature the visual accoutrements of its counterpart. Like the other console game, it runs at 30 frames per second. Well, ideally. The 360 version had some occasional framerate hiccups, but the PS3 version has those plus many more. It's impossible to discuss this game without mentioning these issues, especially now that we've had time to explore the entire package.
Route Kanal, the first vehicle-based level, has some framerate dips, especially at the end of the chapter. In Episode One, there's an ugly sequence near the end of the game in which the framerate dips to headache levels. Episode Two has some nasty moments at the beginning of the game and hiccups in certain points throughout. In spite of that, though, Valve's storytelling and immersion are phenomenal enough to overcome these technical problems, myriad as they are. It seems that EA UK, rather than optimizing the game for PS3, simply got it to run on the hardware.
It's really the gameplay and narrative that make Half-Life 2 shine. While you'll never feel completely confident that you know everything going on within the storyline, Valve's approach to both narrative and design is quite unique. At times you'll be presented with a puzzle, and while it might seem a tad confusing, things always seem to fall together after a minute or so of searching. It's a refreshing change from the copy/paste level design of some other shooters. The narrative itself, while not always lucid, is always compelling, and you'll find that the battles, from the Combine Citadel in the first game, to claustrophobic shootouts in a dark garage in the first episode, to the grand finale of the latest episode, will leave you both exhilarated and in search of compatriots who've shared similar experiences. In short, Half-Life 2 and its two episodes will give you over twenty hours of phenomenal storytelling and gameplay despite the technical shortcomings of these PS3 ports.


text: President Trump remained embroiled in a rumpus with two cable talk-show hosts on Friday, a surreal dispute featuring allegations of extortion, dueling tweets and low-rent insults that has little precedent in recent political history. With major policy battles over health care and taxation looming, Mr. Trump has devoted several days to squabbling with the stars of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, who on Friday accused the White House of demanding they apologize to the president to keep a gossip magazine from unmasking their romantic relationship. The spectacle might seem too outlandish even for the pages of a supermarket tabloid were The National Enquirer not the magazine in question. In Friday's installment, Mr. Scarborough told his viewers that the White House had urged him to seek Mr. Trump's forgiveness for critical coverage, lest The Enquirer, which is controlled by a Trump ally, run a story detailing his involvement with Ms. Brzezinski, who is now his fiancée.

Prior to 2000, there was very limited capacity in the early childhood care and education sector. However, over the decade 2000 to 2010, the State, initially in partnership with the EU, invested €425 million capital funding to create childcare places throughout Ireland.
From the years 2006-2013 the National Childcare Investment Programme (NCIP) was the states vehicle for investment in the sector. The NCIP succeeded and built further on the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme (EOCP) 2000-2006. The programme aimed to provide a proactive response to the development of quality childcare supports and services, which will be planned for and developed locally and centered on the needs of the child and the family. Over the period 2000-2010 over 65,000 places were created in early childhood centers.

Most of the 3D printing that has been going on ever since the additive manufacturing technology was introduced has been the printing of cheap plastic parts.
Definitely 3D printing of plastic objects and parts has had a huge impact in revealing to the world the potential that the technology has in completely transforming traditional manufacturing.
Still most of the plastic objects printed have not exactly been mass products that can help 3D printing go mainstream.
For quite a long time, New York-based Graphene 3D Labs has been looking for ways to change the game by making many advances in the functional 3D printing area. The company caught worldwide attention last year through the commercial sale of its proprietary graphene magnetically conductive filaments. These filaments incorporated highly conductive nano-carbon materials that not only enhanced PLA properties but also paved way for the making of electronic 3D printed components using 3D printers.
This year, Graphene 3D Labs has made another significant improvement of functional 3D printing by introducing a unique magnetic 3D printing filament line best known as the 'Ferro-Magnetic PLA Filament', which the company has made available for purchase online through Amazon and their e-commerce store going by the nam 'Black Magic 3D'.
Ferro-Magnetic PLA Filament
This new filament from Graphene 3D is made of ferro-magnetic PLA material and is iron based. It allows makers to 3D print a wide range of objects that are highly attracted to magnetic fields. If you wish for the best results, the company recommends using this filament with some of the most popular magnets like Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) and Samarium Cobalt (SmCo).
Graphene's 3D magnetic filament creates new possibilities in 3D printing making it practical to now 3D print things like mechanical actuators, magnetic sensors and magnetic stirrers. The color of the filament is flat black so you can expect the objects printed from it to have a cast iron appearance.
Take note that the filament will be a little more abrasive and brittle than any standard PLA filament simply because of its iron content. For this reason, you may want to expect some more wear on your nozzle. However, you can counteract this effect by a wear-resistant nozzle or simply using a larger nozzle when doing very long prints. On the upside, the company claimed that the iron is not going to rust.
The ferro-magnetic filament can be 3D printed at temperatures ranging from 215° to 225° Celsius with speeds of 60 to 80 mm/s. In order to acquire this magnetically conductive 3D printing material, you'll have to part with $39.99 for a 350g Spool Available in 1.75mm Gauge on Amazon.
Among the many different industry applications that this filament will open up, there is much anticipation of the Education Sector improving quite a bit thanks to the uniqueness of the ferro-magnetic PLA filament. For instance, 3D printing can now be incorporated in science classes and one way to do this is by asking kids to 3D print magnets of their own and see what their young minds come up with.
Challenging Traditional Manufacturers
Elena Polyakova, the co-CEO of Graphene 3D, explains that the main objective of the company has always been to take part in the creation of new 3D printing opportunities. And their way of achieving this is by bringing to the market new functional filaments that expand the scope of 3D projects that can be successfully 3D printed.
Speaking about the ferro-magnetic 3D filament; Elena said that since it's suitable for producing actuators, switches and sensors – Graphene 3D expects that this will challenge traditional manufacturers to consider incorporating more of 3D printing technology into their current manufacturing processes.
Graphene 3D clearly is playing an important role in the present market trend in the 3D industry of developing more functional and multi-functional printing materials that offer more usable printing options than just printing of inexpensive disposable plastic items. With the current wave, people are becoming more and more interested in 3D printing items that are both long lasting and are serving a particular purpose.
Of course this does not mean that plastic 3D printing filaments have not had their equal share of merits. It's evident that the printing of plastic objects has brought forth quite a number of benefits such as is demonstrated by the 3D Printing of Prosthetics. Even then, 3D printing should not only be limited to the use of plastic filaments. Introducing other 3D printing materials such as wood, iron and cement to mention a few; boosts the value of the additive manufacturing technology placing more 'resources' in the hands of makers to unlock their creative imagination.
Conductive 3D printing filaments have for example made it easy to assemble and create working and Usable Electronics from functioning smartphones to 3D printed missiles. Printing of cheaper, thinner and better responsive Touch Screens for Smartphones has in addition been possible due to the use of conductive filaments made from gold and silver.
More Functional Filaments Coming Up
Is the ferro-magnetic filament going to be all that will be coming from Graphene 3D in 2016; absolutely not! Elena announced that 2016 will be a significant year for the company for they intend to introduce several new functional filaments.
She went ahead to announce that Graphene 3D already has a few functional filaments in the development pipeline. With just the first quarter over, there still seems to be more time for Graphene 3D to surprise the 3D printing community with advanced functional filaments.
The company has already filed a patent for a rather cheap process of producing High-Grade Conductive Graphene. Lately, Graphene 3D filed another patent for a multifunctional 3D printer that's capable of 3D printing an organic working LED light source called the Romulus III.
Currently, the company has made at least six US patent applications all focused on its 3D printer and 3D printing materials technology. Clearly, this innovative company is on fire and the rest of us just can't wait to see what it pulls out of its closet next time around.

There's this show called Eastbound & Down. It amuses me. I wrote an article about it for Moving Image Source. You can choose to read it or not. I'm just putting it out there.
I also wrote a review of Funny People (for The Rumpus), another cultural product that tickled my particular fancy.
I've made a promise to myself to write a dissenting view of The Hurt Locker this weekend. I'm only putting it here to force me to write it. Otherwise I'd just watch baseball and massage my belly. So this paragraph is important.
Is everyone starting to compile their best-of-decade lists? Well, you should. Just expect a Tativille and Termite Art free-for-all that will have Termite Artisan Matt and Tati-villain Michael J. Anderson sniping at each other for a week or two (at least: catch their fabulous back and forth on Michael Mann here). I will calmly sit on the outside and contemplate how high Anchorman should be on the list. Something to look forward to.

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority Board at its meeting on Nov. 28 approved a dividend of $10.285 million to the state's general fund for Fiscal Year 2020.
"We are very happy to announce this dividend to the State of Alaska, especially since it puts us over $400 million," said AIDEA Board Chairman Dana Pruhs. "Our dividend is another great example of AIDEA's strong contribution to Alaska's economy."
Since the dividend program's inception, AIDEA has indeed awarded more than $400 million to the State. But the amount has been dropping year after year.
For Fiscal Year 2016, AIDEA awarded $12.88 million dividend to the State. In 2014, the dividend was $20.7 million, in 2013, it was $20.4 million.
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority is a public corporation owned by the State, whose mission is to promote, develop, and advance the prosperity and economic welfare of the people of Alaska. AIDEA is self-funded, using its own earned income to fund loans and investments in economic development, in addition to its operation and capital expenses and annual dividend to the State.
The agency was created by the Alaska State Legislature in 1967 as a statewide entity facilitating economic growth and diversification, and to create and retain jobs for Alaskans.

Chart from NPR, source data from Pew Internet and American Life Project, refers to above uses on mobile devices only
Now, the story is certainly not saying that the digital divide is no longer an issue, but it does bring up some interesting points. It attributes the higher and more sophisticated use of mobile devices among Latinos and blacks to four factors:
- Networking teens that spread the use to older members of their ethnic group (happens in all ethnic groups, but faster among blacks and Latinos, perhaps due to the relatively higher proportion of young people)
- Cheaper than a home connection (mobile upgrade cheaper than buying a computer and broadband)
- Communication across borders (easier on both sides)
- Convenience (the phone is always there, always gets a signal, no need to worry about wifi or battery)
If mobile devices (think phone, not laptop) become the dominant way of accessing the Internet - and I think that's still very much up in the air (pun intended) - then this just may signal a coming shift in the digital divide that might mirror the demographic shifts in the United States. We still have a long way to go in eliminating access issues, but perhaps this is an encouraging sign that the divide might be narrowing.

Data Points: Tablet Advertising
As publishers' apps proliferate, the use of bells and whistles declines
Publishers seem to have no end to their appetite for apps. This year through October, 9,125 publication-related apps were released for the iPad, twice the number released in the year-ago period, according to McPheters & Co.'s iMonitor app-tracking service. Hearst led publishers with the most number of apps (89), followed by Time Warner, Condé Nast, Future Media and Bonnier Corp. But as publishers expand to more and more platforms, they're pulling back on the number of costly and time-consuming enhancements, as are advertisers. That's unfortunate, since not only readers are more likely to read enhanced ads, they mean more money in publishers' coffers.

Technology can help simplify the complexity of technology itself.
By Hitendra R. Patil and Jeffrey Lush
Businesses the world over rely on outsourced services, like accounting, to keep themselves ahead in the game, be profitable, efficient and to limit risk.
MORE ON ENTREPRENEURIAL STRATEGY: The Why, What and How of Cybersecurity for Accountants | Blockchain: What You Need to Know Now | The Rise of the Robot Accountant: Opportunity or Threat? | Certified Blockchain Accountant: From CPA to CBA
Exclusively for PRO Members. Log in here or upgrade to PRO today.
In "The Why, What and How of Cybersecurity for Accountants," we covered the fundamentals to enable accountants get a quick understanding of cybersecurity to help explore the new opportunities that are emerging in the cybersecurity services segment. In this post, we'll explain why it may not be really necessary for accounting firms to have specialist technology resources to foray into cybersecurity opportunities.
Today's data breach headlines are becoming all too common. More than ever, organizations rely on external experts' help for cybersecurity-related services. Often, cybersecurity-related advisory services have a heavy lean toward technical and operational expertise.
However, new cybersecurity automation tools are opening the doors for accounting firms to get into cybersecurity services as a growing revenue segment.
Why Accountants Are So Important in Cybersecurity Management
While this may be prima facie hard to understand, a closer look reveals that in cybersecurity management, the fundamental need is for expertise in audit, policy and rules administration, which is a proven competency and hence a great fit for accounting firms.
Furthermore, growing regulations such as GDPR and other data privacy laws carry growing financial repercussions for non-compliance. Earlier this year, even the SEC Commissioner Robert Jackson said this: "The most pressing issue in corporate governance today: the rising cyber threat. Cybercrime is an enterprise-level risk that will require an interdisciplinary approach."
While most security operation centers that offer services understand firewalls, anti-malware, network access and intrusion detection, they often lack what accountants don't – policy, audit and rules expertise. With the advent of new automation tools, many accounting firms can find cybersecurity services much easier to offer as a great addition to their current services engagements.
Not convinced? Let's explore this a little more.
How Security Policy Automation Technology Can Help
There is no doubt that data security is a big, big issue. Scare tactics are no longer needed. Organizations realize the general significance of the threat. However, the biggest problem to running an adaptable, risk-informed and agile cybersecurity system is the lack of real-time connectivity from operational tools, (think firewalls, anti-malware, network access, intrusion detection) to the security policy controls themselves.
For too long, organizations have relied solely on network-driven, IT-centric dashboards and blinking lights without tying them to what "right" should look like, the policy controls themselves. While the operational technologies themselves are fantastic, they do not automatically express the impact on policy or regulatory requirements. They do not seamlessly give insight into business outcomes. Until now.
Organizations can now expedite by over 80 percent the gap analysis process for many regulatory and audit related requirements through the use of security policy compliance automation tools.
Advisory services can now deploy automation and repeatable, scalable mechanisms into the cybersecurity process, both for initial strategy implementation and for ongoing continuous monitoring of cybersecurity objectives health.
Traditional "check the box" compliance with today's massive electronic data growth only achieves partial visibility into security health. The more technical controls we introduce – and they're growing all the time – and the more devices and software tools we introduce into our environments, the more reliant we become on policy health automation tools. This transformation is a shift from traditional "check the box compliance" to "accountable compliance."
We need a mechanism that ties our events to our controls. When we do that, we can visualize reality of control health based on our actual events. When services organizations follow this plan, they can quickly
- reduce financial risk,
- automate validation of control health,
- lower cost,
- gain real-time policy health visibility and
- establish an automated path toward remediation.
Clients who need it will find a provider. Why not you?
There's no better time to explore services expansion into the cyberstrategy realm. There are cybersecurity policy health automation tools that are readily available now and their creators will be more than happy to help your firm comprehensively learn the exciting new landscape of cybersecurity. Many clients may be aware and worried about cybersecurity but may not realize they need professional cybersecurity services.

What remedy to choose to cure hemorrhoids?
When one has had a hemorrhoid crisis one day, one can be sure that the risk of reliving the same thing increases dramatically. Moreover, this is where the frantic search for the miracle cure begins, because, if you have ever had it, you know it is one of the most common health problems of the most troublesome (not in the shameful, But in the sense that it bothers you in your everyday life).
What you will be told from the beginning is that "a miracle cure" does not exist, if someone says otherwise, it is because he is trying to rip you off. However, that does not mean that you must accept that these attacks return without trying anything because hemorrhoids care, it is above all by the prevention that will allow you to space, or even eradicate, its appearance. Then, in the event of an outbreak of the crisis, what is needed is to treat it.
See Hemorrhoid No More Reviews! " A simple and safe method to cure hemorrhoids in 48 hours "
What are the preventive remedies for hemorrhoids?
That says prevention against hemorrhoids, says food, sport, and hygiene.
The primary role of diet in preventing hemorrhoids is to avoid constipation, which is one of the biggest triggers of the hemorrhoid crisis. In fact, the more constipated you are, the harder your fecal matter is, the more you will push to expel them, thus exercising a mechanical force which eventually modifies the elasticity of the anal canal and dilates the vessels of the anus Mucosa, which ends up, in the people likely to develop hemorrhoids, by triggering the crisis.
So what you need regarding food is to eat much fiber because it will not only soften your stomach a little but will also facilitate intestinal transit. Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and starchy foods (such as rice, pasta, and corn). Bet on salads, these are our best friends to fight against constipation.
Apart from fibers, you should monitor your water intake. As you know, doctors advise us to drink at least a liter and a half of water a day. Try to aim for the two liters. Water is essential for your survival, and it helps keep all of your blood vessels healthy, as well as your skin.
Also avoid all foods that are bad for your health, and this means fatty foods (which can cause vein obstruction), too sweet drinks such as sodas (which increase blood pressure), drink too much coffee, Too many alcohols (which dehydrate the body), or eating too spicy dishes (which irritate the anal area during defecation) and, optimally, try to quit smoking if you are currently smoking because tobacco has An accelerating effect of aging tissues and veins.
There are certain diets that are proven to be very beneficial against hemorrhoids, such as the paleo diet for example. Do not hesitate to follow them
The sport
As you know for a long time, the sport is excellent for health. It must at all costs avoid a sedentary lifestyle.This general rule is always de rigueur to prevent hemorrhoids. Beware, however, of avoiding the sport DURING the hemorrhoidal crisis.
The sport here has two benefits. First, the "general" exercises help to regulate blood pressure, improve tissue oxygenation, improve intestinal transit and decrease body weight and stress. So do as much sport as you can. Make at least half an hour of walking a day, it will not tire you too much but will still allow you to benefit from the beneficial effects of the sport.
Afterward, you have exercises designed specifically to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic region. These are the Kegel exercises that will help you prevent hemorrhoids as much as possible.
Be aware that there are particular types of sports that should be avoided. These are sports that put much pressure on the anal area, and that could irritate it, such as riding or cycling.
Good hygiene
Rectal hygiene is a critical point when it comes to avoiding hemorrhoids. In some cultures, people wash the perineum with water after defecation. In Europe, on the other hand, toilet paper is used to clean, and it can sometimes be irritating.
What to do is choose a soft paper, entirely white because dyes can cause allergies or hypersensitivity. If you prefer to use wipes, choose brands that are not perfumed (again a question of sensitivity), or, if you are looking for the scented side of the thing, buy baby wipes because they are the ones that contain the least Of chemicals and are thus the least aggressive to the skin.
For your private toilet under the shower, also opt for soap as natural as possible, without perfume.
We recommend reading the article: How do you get hemorrhoids?
What remedies to cure hemorrhoids after their onset?
There are several kinds of remedies for hemorrhoids: natural resources, medications and finally, in extreme cases, surgery.
Natural remedies
There are several natural remedies that relieve the hemorrhoidal crisis. The most important and the most used remains the bath of the seat. You should know, however, that despite its popularity, it is not a "cure" that treats, but merely a treatment that relieves itching and pain.
Other natural remedies include mullein which will tighten the blood vessels and thus heal bleeds if they exist and thousand-leaf tea which, used as a cleanser, will speed up the repair of damaged tissues and vessels and which, consumed as Drink will act as a preventive remedy against hemorrhoids.
See more H Miracle – Nature's Method to Cure Hemorrhoids Review
Medical remedies
If the presence of hemorrhoids hampers you too much in everyday life, or natural remedies do not work for you (which is relatively rare) or you just want to supplement them with medical treatment, just visit A doctor will suffice to have a prescription and to buy medicines that will relieve you.
These medications will usually be an anti-hemorrhoid cream, analgesics to relieve pain immediately and anti-inflammatory drugs.
The radical remedy: Surgery
It is the last resort; no doctor will choose to offer you surgery from your first visit for your first hemorrhoidal attack. Even if it is a relatively good act, it is always a surgical intervention for which a certain margin of risk has to be calculated.
That said, if your case permits and your doctor, after going through the medical treatment that proved ineffective for you, offers you this solution, please do not hesitate. It is a surgery which involves very few risks and which will make it possible to excise the swollen part, "reach" of the anal area.

Jefferson County offers influenza vaccines
Multiple clinics will be offered in September, October
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Wis. — With flu season quickly approaching, the Jefferson County Health Department is offering flu vaccines for all ages.
Young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and people 65 years and older are at the highest risk of having serious flu complications.
Everyone aged 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine, said health officials. Vaccination is also important for health care workers and those who live with or care for high risk individuals. While children younger than 6 months are at a high risk of serious flu illness, they are too young to be vaccinated. Instead, all caretakers should be vaccinated.
To prevent illness, the Jefferson County Health Department emphasized the importance of being vaccinated. The department will offer many opportunities throughout the county for vaccination, which costs only a $10 administration fee per person. Residents can also use an active ForwardHealth, BadgerCare or Medical Assistance card at check-in. No one will be turned away for an inability to pay.
The adult flu vaccine costs $30 and the adult pneumonia vaccine costs $70. These vaccines are free with a Medicare Part B card.

The temptation is always towards violence. It's the simple response, nearly unavoidable in the face of the seemingly infinite tragedies befalling our world today. Yet, as a human being it pains me to see good people I know clamoring for our borders to be closed out of fear, innocent bystanders and refugees be damned.
The political sides to this mean nothing to me. And of course, as a pure survival instinct, self-preservation calls for irrational thoughts that seem like great ideas through our visions of rage. But how have we learned nothing from thousands of years of history?
The faces evolve to match the times, but the ultimate goals, the responses, the responses to responses, over and again, leaving little but ashes behind in the end… Even in the rare "victory", winning their glorious relief, like the most addicting of drugs, the pleasure is fleeting. And so the cycle begins again.
Yet the concern of so many today is those (insert your news source math here, such 5% to 10% of refugees) who "may" be hidden operatives. "We can't let them in! Our state won't accept them! We can't take the risk!" Numbers never lie – but they also very rarely tell the whole story. Who wouldn't cringe at math like (random numbers as an example I've come across) "10% of 8,000 refugees is 800, and the average casualty count per operative this last time was 110, so we're signing up to kill 88,000 people!"
That type of fear-mongering and pandering for the most clicks and the largest headlines has made avoidance nearly impossible, across all of our information outlets. And as that white-hot rage burns inside us, we lose a piece of ourselves as we write-off the horrifying collateral damage. With 24/7 news cycles and updates at our fingertips, the need for release is palatable.
Do you honestly think, though, these terrorists need an invitation into the country? One way or another, someone that committed to their cause and beliefs will attack you. Yet, right now more than half of all US governors have said they won't allow Syrian refugees to resettle in their state. When is writing off the 90% in this example, the innocent, an acceptable loss? How can we accept losing our humanity? Why can we justify it to ourselves, simply because we are not the ones pulling the trigger?
If we're ever looking to stop this insanity – and you've probably heard that the "definition of insanity is repeating the same things over and over and expecting a different result" – why can't we respond with humanity, too, for the innocent masses caught in the crossfire?
Instead, we stoke the international resentment and even downright hatred, fueling the flames and continuing the cycle into infinity. The justifications flood our senses from every direction. We could argue the details and semantics for days, but war goes back to the beginnings of history. One after another, in the end they always fail; even for the "victor", when there is one. Empires collapse, again and again, to the newer, the larger, the stronger.
I'm not naive enough to think that all war can be stopped, or avoided. In our current world, some are, unfortunately, inevitable. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I'm not military. I'm not into organized religion. I don't pretend to know all the details. But by allowing our greatest weakness control over our actions, we have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.
What I am is a human being. I do know that we can always find a way to justify the avoidable losses to fill our need for the quick fix of revenge. And for my daughter's sake, I can only hope someday we're better than this. I can strive to show her the light of our humanity even though our greatest darknesses.
And maybe, someday, she will be a butterfly effect, a catalyst for change. It could be something huge; I could be raising the future Ms. President. Or maybe she will have a cumulative effect, growing into a much greater, kinder version of myself. Even as I sometimes fall into our common "first world problems" and stresses, I strive to focus on the gift that is our lives. Even as I battle my incessant pain and unknown maladies day after day, I cherish the honor of passing on the gift of life and imparting my knowledge, and wisdom, over time to a tiny me.
Or it may be your son. Your daughter. Maybe it will be a transplanted refugee given a new lease on life. We've all hugged our children a little tighter with the latest unavoidable reminders of our fragile world. Hopefully, we can also show them how to ultimately conquer our fears, and break free of this cycle of destruction.
I've seen the internet evolve astoundingly over the years, and as much as some may point to certain pieces as signs of "humanity's collapse", it's more amazing to see the real change constantly emerging. Maybe I'm brilliantly naive, but it feels like those silly connections can also grow to one day present us with a path to salvation.
Hopefully, there's still enough left then to fight for.

AIO X Sneaker Proxies
If you're aiming at boosting your sneaker or Supreme copping game, you know you need proxies. Sneaker proxies and Supreme proxies are your way at getting the limited edition items you desire. Without getting banned. All you gotta do is add those proxies into your sneaker bot and let them do their work.
With the increased interest in sneaker copping and reselling, sites have fortified their security measures. Making it impossible for a user to buy more than just one pair per release. Unless you use Supreme and sneaker proxies.
Every added proxy is another pair you can add to your collection. And the best part about sneaker proxies is that they minimize your risk at getting banned to almost null.
And as for how many proxies you need, the best ratio is 1-1. For optimal results, and to make sure none of your orders gets canceled, or so that your own IP address doesn't get banned from some sneaker sites, get 1 proxy for every task you're running.

How come the work is positive and not negative?
no one knows
Hi thesouthportschool, the negative sign in $W= -qV$ that you're used to seeing is the work done by the electric field. Since, in this question, we're asked to find the work done by an external force, the external force is applying a force in the opposite direction to that of the electric field. For this reason the work done by the external force has a sign opposite to that of the electric field, which means $W_{ext} = qV$ with no negative sign.
Hope that helps,
Mr. Dychko

One of the requirements was the movement of air at the job site. To remove moisture, you need dry air and air movement. It is instinctive in us because when we wash our hands and there's no paper towel around, what do you do? Shake your hands in the air to dry them. Now most modern bathrooms use hand dryers that blow hot air. Anyway, we would set a device called an 'air mover' which is nothing more than a large industrial fan. It could move large volumes of air and if set in tandem in a circular pattern in a large room, you could create a low level vortex of air movement. It was really interesting stuff at that time. Well, our fee which is actually industry standard was $25 a day for that air mover. In a typical commercial job, there would be between 20 and 30 air movers in the building. We would bill $500 a day just for air movement and a job usually took 3 days of air movement to dry out the building.
I typically arrived between 5:15 and 5:30 every morning for work. I would be the one to get the 'I'm sick' phone call from the guys that worked in the field. Well, on day two of production with the air movers, I got 3 phone calls of guys calling in sick. It created a scheduling nightmare for the work that day. After spending the morning putting out the typical fires, I went to that job site to inspect progress. Every one of those air movers were operating (which is normal) and based on the test results, you could tell the building was beginning to dry out. It was great production in one day.
What I learned was that the air mover didn't call in sick, it didn't back talk me, it never got upset about how much it was paid and it just kept on humming. It was making us money and I didn't have to deal with personnel issues. Boy, if only all production could be like this. Turn it on and make money.
That's the thought process you need to have in production, you will know you are there when you can turn it on and it makes money! Act on Knowledge.

This Copycat See's Fudge is so delicious and extremely easy to make. See's Candies is definitely a Christmas favorite around our house and everyone loves their fudge! This recipe makes an entire 9×13 pan of delicious fudge, so it's perfect for gift giving. Last week, I posted my Grandma Wanda's Peanut Brittle recipe and it has been really popular. This recipe also comes straight from my Grandma Wanda's Christmas candy collection. I was going to title this recipe Grandma Wanda's Fudge, but I figured if Grandma Wanda called it See's Fudge, then I should call it See's Fudge too!
In a large bowl, combine semi sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, butter, walnuts or pecans and pure vanilla extract. I used pecans because that's what my family prefers, but the original See's Candies fudge has walnuts.
In a very large pot, heat sugar and evaporated milk until it boils, then continue boiling for 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chip mixture and stir until completely melted.
Pour in 9×13 baking dish lined with foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Let cool and slice into pieces.
- 18 oz of semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 sticks of butter 16 tablespoons
- 2 cups of chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 7 oz container of marshmallow creme
- 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by lining with foil and spraying with non stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter, pecans, marshmallow creme and vanilla extract.
In a large cooking pot, combine sugar and evaporated milk.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once mixture starts to boil, stirring constantly, let it boil for exactly 9 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chip mixture.
Stir well until melted.
Pour mixture into 9x13 pan and let cool.
Refrigerate until set.
Use foil to remove from pan and cut into cubes.

Rio-Paris downed by equipment and pilot failureComments
The official inquiry into the ill-fated flight AF 447 from Rio to Paris, which crashed in 2009 with the loss of all 228 people on board, has reported its final findings.
It concludes the Airbus A330 was brought down via a mixture of pilot and equipment error, with vital air speed sensors failing, and pilots either being untrained in several emergency procedures, or failing to apply those that were standard practice.
The inquiry makes 25 recommendations to prevent this sort of accident happening again.
"When the autopilot cut out, the pilot is heard to say 'I have the controls'. But he overcorrected his course, and pulled too hard on the stick – but then, pilots get no high-altitude manual flight training," said inquiry head Alain Brouillard.
Among the inquiry's recommendations is better pilot training, cabin design, feedback from experienced pilots, and a general overhaul of how France's airline and aviation industries are supervised.

Speaking of Maine, one way to gauge how serious Hillary's money problems were prior to February 5 is by looking at the result there. On the one hand, the state's demographics give her some pretty big advantages. On the other, it's a caucus state, which means winning probably requires more than a trivial amount of organization.
I suspect the Obama people are pretty well organized there. If Hillary loses or just ekes out a win, it suggests she didn't have the money to build an organization to rival his over the last month or so. If she wins comfortably, it's an indication she wasn't quite as strapped as some of those reports suggested this week.
P.S. There are other factors that could tip the balance in Maine, of course. For example, if the weather is lousy there tomorrow--and the current forecast calls for snow--it could depress turnout, which would favor the candidate with a more intense following and a better organization. (I'd guess that's Obama, even if Hillary has allocated resources to Maine...)

Rosetta has completed its final manoeuvre and is now on a collision course with Comet 67P/C-G.
A small thruster burn starting 20:48:11 UTC and lasting 208 seconds has set the craft on course towards its final destination.
The spacecraft's navigation cameras will soon take a set of five images to confirm that the spacecraft is on target, and to refine the predicted impact time.
These are expected to be downlinked by 0300 UT / 0500 CEST and we therefore expect that the next report, with the updated time and at least one of those NAVCAM images, will be around 0400 UT / 0600 CEST.

Allocation based on market constraints
Total costs for Engineering department / Estimated engineering changes pr. product
= Cost pr. engineering change
Budget Calculation

Actuals Calculation
($300.000 / 10.000 changes) = $3 pr. engineering change
A costing of a specific product and the corresponsing evaluation of actual costs could
look like this.
Given the levels of cost that the company has actualized in the period, and
the individual resource consumption of the individual product, we can see that
the actual price of the product is under absorbed compared to the budgetted/estimated
price. This will lead to a suffering gross- and net margins, if the selling price of the product is based on the cost estimate.
The biggest weakness of the full costing principle is that it is not working
very well with product variability. The problem could be that the allocation
keys become too static and incapable of costing the resource absorption of individual
products adequately. Products in the same portfolio could potentially
have completely different cost structures and consume entirely different levels
of overhead costs, even though they might share the same functionalities and core design. An example could be 2 products having the same functionalities but entirely different production set-ups that may vary greatly in costs.
Another costing principle that can potentially cost products more accurately
is called Activity
Based Costing.

Hosmer, Morales, Rios power Royals to 13-2 win over Rangers
Hosmer belts 3-run shot
Eric Hosmer joined Royals newcomers Kendrys Morales and Alex Rios in hitting consecutive first-inning homers, and AL champion Kansas City routed the Texas Rangers 13-2 on Wednesday in the spring training opener for both teams.
Hosmer hit a three-run shot off Rangers starter Colby Lewis that landed on the grassy berm beyond the centerfield fence. Morales followed with a shot to right field and Rios went deep to left, giving Kansas City a 6-0 lead before Lewis had recorded an out.
Lewis retired the next three batters after the homer binge, but the veteran still needed 36 pitches to get through his only inning against the Rangers' campus co-tenants.
Fellow starter Yovani Gallardo fared little better, allowing four runs on six hits over 1 2-3 innings in his Texas debut.

A veteran NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars has gone into safe mode after a glitch was detected in one of its reaction wheels.
The Mars Odyssey orbiter officially put itself into the protective standby mode early Friday, when the spacecraft detected unusual readings from one of its three reaction wheels, which are used to control the orbiter's orientation in space.
"The spacecraft is safe, and information we've received from it indicates the problem is limited to a single reaction wheel," the orbiter's mission manager Chris Potts of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said in a statement. "The path forward is evaluating the health of the reaction wheel and our options for proceeding."
The orbiter carries a spare reaction wheel onboard, in case one of the three in use fails.
For now, the flight control team on the ground is in communication with the spacecraft while they decide what steps to take next and develop a recovery timeline.

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.

Mars Odyssey has been studying the Red Planet for over a decade. It launched in April 2001 and arrived at Mars six months later. It used a technique called aerobraking to slow itself down into the correct orbit by dipping down into Mars' atmosphere.
The spacecraft began science operations in February 2002, and has now worked at Mars longer than any mission in history. It has created the first global maps of chemical and mineral distribution on the surface of Mars, and led to the discovery of vast amounts of water ice buried under the planet's surface.
Mars Odyssey has also served as a communications relay station for landers NASA has sent down to the surface of Mars, and will relay messages from the next Mars rover, Curiosity, when it lands this August.
