Fans of the 1990s' Spider-Man: The Animated Series, rejoice - the stellar voice cast are teaming up for new show War Of The Rocketmen…
For children of the 1990s, and presumably those who parented children in the 1990s, and anyone who just loves a good superhero animation, Spider-Man: The Animated Series is swathed in good will and nostalgia.
The show, which serialised Spidey's legacy in 30-minute chunks, was undeniably excellent. We recall a particularly brilliant arc about Morbius The Vampire.
The cast reunited for a panel at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo over the weekend to discuss the show's twentieth anniversary, and announce their new project.
"You are the current avatar of this Marvel deity. This is our Iliad. This is our Odyssey," recalled Spidey-voicing actor Christopher Daniel Barnes, speaking of the responsibility of the role. "It touches something universal in us. When you get the chance to »

Yesterday, at the Comikaze Expo, the cast of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, arguably the best animated adaptation of Spider-Man ever, reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the hit '90s show. Check out the group shot directly below and read on further for more details about the reunion!

Wall crawlers, it's time to talk about Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Producer and head writer John Semper Jr. gathered up his cast for a reunion panel Saturday for a discussion 20 years in the making. He's previously avoided talking about the series, but said he'll dedicate the next year to honoring its memory. He grew up on half-hour dramas, which told serious stories in under 30 minutes, and took that model to Spider-Man. "I wanted there to be a real, serious underpinning to the show," Semper told the crowd at Comikaze Expo in downtown Los Angeles. But here's the big news: Semper revealed

Marvel has put out another one of its mysterious Summer 2015 teaser posters, and it's a doozy for Spider-Man fans. Illustrated by Adam Kubert, the teaser is titled Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows and despite being a simple image, it's absolutely loaded with callouts to some of the most controversial moments in Spidey history. There are few sore spots in Marvel Comics canon like the Spider-Marriage. Peter Parker married Mary Jane Watson way back in the landmark 1987 comic Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, in a story called "The Wedding!" by David Michelinie and John Romita, Sr. Unlike a lot of comic book story decisions, »

A quick review of tonight's "Arrow" coming up just as soon as I don't know how to vacation like a normal person... Sister show "The Flash" is the shiny new thing understandably getting all the attention, but "Arrow" has had a fine start to its third season. I didn't write about last week's episode, but it did a good job dealing with the emotional repercussions of Sara's murder, while "Corto Maltese" dealt nicely with the Malcolm/Thea relationship(*) and the way it in turn has altered Oliver and Thea's relationship. I don't much buy Diggle's rationale for Oliver not telling her the whole truth, but in general I have a much more anti-secrecy philosophy than the shared "Arrow"/"Flash" creative team, and Thea as secret ninja is a much better direction for her than Thea as underage club owner. (*) I particularly appreciated the tabling of the Hong Kong flashbacks in »

Last month we brought you some of the Legend of the Yokai artwork completed by artists from around the world to coincide with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (read our review here). Flickering Myth were lucky enough to sit down with artists Matt Taylor and Sam Gilbey to talk about their artwork…
FM:For the benefit of our readers could you tell me a bit about your work previous to Legend of the Yokai?
Mt: I've been illustrating for 12 years now. I guess at the moment I'm better known for doing a lot of work through Mondo, illustrated film posters, book covers, that's my stock in trade. I did the John LeCarre novels in the Us, which have been reused over here as well and that's probably the highest profile thing I've done recently or the thing that people might actually know me for. »

No one can question David Hayter's geek credentials. Not only is he the one, true voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid game series, but he also voiced Captain America in the '90s Spider-Man TV show and played the titular hero in The Guyver: Dark Hero. Hayter's not just an actor in geek-friendly properties, though. He was writing superhero movies before superhero movies were the big business they are today. Hayter's very first produced screenplay was for X-Men, which led to X-Men 2 and Watchmen. And as he revealed in our below interview, he was even attached to direct his adaptations of Watchmen and Black Widow, though neither of those projects panned out. Instead his directorial debut ended up being Wolves, starring Lucas Till as a freshly...

Have modern movies increased our ability to accept outlandish heroes like the Ninja Turtles? Yes, and it's a good thing, James writes...
There's a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie out. It's a franchise reboot, bringing the iconic brand back to the big-screen in a fresh live-action feature. You're probably familiar with Tmnt having consumed the Turtletastic mythos in some format - comics, cartoons, older movies, videogames, action figures, Lego and/or Vanilla Ice music videos.
Don't worry if you're not clued up on this cowabunga business, though, because I'm going to break it down and run over the basics on which this mighty multimedia property is built. Here's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a nutshell - or rather, in a turtle shell - as conceived by comics creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird way back in 1984.
The basic story - or at least, the high concept - goes like »

You can tell how boring a movie year is by the state of new Halloween costume ideas each fall. At least in terms of memorable characters. When I walk into one of those seasonal pop-up shops and see the same superheroes year after year joined still, a decade after, by Napoleon Dynamite-style "nerd" package costumes, I worry that there isn't enough fresh and popular movie iconography being entered into the history books of late. What is the 2014 film zeitgeist but more Spider-Man, Captain America, X-Men, Transformers and Hunger Games? New costumes are repeats of old, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and even my old unlikely X-Men meet Forrest Gump and Smurfette ideas), or based on already familiar icons, like Lego people. Frozen is new but familiar. Same with most of the characters in Guardians of the Galaxy, to a degree. If you want to go against the grain of the mainstream and easily recognized »

Welcome To Issue 65!
If This Is Your First Time Here: Welcome! This is my weekly column where I talk about superhero movie/TV news, rumors, and speculation.
This Week: I saw all of Disney Xd's Spider-Verse, I watched both Gotham and S.H.I.E.L.D., someone's maybe engaged in Detroit and Ethan Hawke gets Strange.
That's what this all is based on, right?
As some of you might know, I'm a Spider-Man fan and over at Marvel we're leading up to a Spider-Man comics event called Spider-Verse. Put simply, every Spider-Man across the multi-verse is actually connected to a spider-totem and web of life that makes them the target of an ancient race of...you know, comics are complex.
The cool thing about it is that they're running a series called "Edge of the Spider-Verse" where we get to spend »

This past week, you've likely seen it: Denise Dorman, wife of "Famed Comic Book/Sci-Fi/Fantasy illustrator Dave Dorman," decided to write an op-ed concerning the decline of sales she and her husband have been privy to over the last years. She has since posted a second response to make her points more clear.
Denise's original piece began: "Privately, famed comic book industry personalities everywhere are discussing with each other whether to stop exhibiting at comic book conventions. There's a fine line between being accessible to and pleasing the fans vs. losing money at these conventions."
Unshaven Comics has been independently producing comic books and attending comic conventions regularly for only seven years or so. In no way, shape, or form do we come close to the level of fame and success her husband has enjoyed. But in the time that we have been active, I have »

Amazing Spider-man #11 Written by Dan Slott Pencils & Cover by Olivier Coipel • Miles Morales And Ultimate Spider-man (from the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon) Team Up! • Gwen Stacy Spider-woman goes to a universe to recruit a Peter Parker who never got over her death! Spider-verse Team-up #2 Written by Christos Gage & Gerry Conway Pencils by Dave Williams & Paul Smith Cover by Dave Williams Well, this should be fun! We never got to see a physical confrontation between Peter and Otto due to the fact that they were sharing the same body/mind during the controversial Superior Spider-Man series, so seeing them battle it out here before being forced to put their differences aside to take on Morlun should be very interesting. Who will ultimately be...Superior? We'll know soon! »

In the four-part Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors event known as Spider-Verse, Spidey chases Goblin into the medieval era, where he comes face-to-face with a very interesting version of himself.

Watch as Peter Parker saves the Knight with a little web-slinging action as the villagers try to stab him with a pitchfork. Modern day Spider-Man proves he's no fool in this latest sneak peek, but can he save Spider Knight from The immense power of The Goblin in The Spider-Verse: Part 3?
Marvel's most popular super hero, Spider-Man, swings into a new season in "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors".

We already knew that Donald Glover (Community) was going to be voicing Miles Morales in the upcoming four-part Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors Spider-Verse event and now Marvel has revealed the rest of the special guest cast, which includes a few familiar voices. The guest cast, in addition to Glover, will also include Christopher Daniel Barnes, who voiced Spider-Man in the hit '90s animated series, as Spyder-Knight, Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) as Spider-Man Noir, Freddy Rodríguez (Scrubs) as Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099, Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) as Petra Parker/Spider-Girl, and Ben Diskin (Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.) as Peter Porker/Spider-Ham. Additionally Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me!) will be voicing Norma Osborn, an adversary of Spider-Girl's.

Licenses to "Star Wars," "The Simpsons," DC and Marvel's superheroes, and its own films like "The Lego Movie" have helped make Lego the world's largest toy company when it comes to revenue and profits, beating Mattel and Hasbro.
At least that's for the first six months of the year.
Lego attributed much of this year's success so far to "The Lego Movie," which helped boost sales by 11% during the first six months of the year, the company said.
"The Lego Movie," which was produced for $60 million, went on to earn more than $468 million worldwide, and was backed by 17 playsets, minifigures, a videogame, theme park attraction, and slew of branded merchandise. The film is also available on homevideo platforms.

While studios tout records, market share and No. 1 status based on box office grosses, we thought it'd be a good idea to look at some of this year's summer films (tentpoles and not) to see how their budgets stacked up against their worldwide grosses to date. These budget numbers do not include domestic/international marketing and distribution costs, nor do they take into account the splits with exhibitors, but they do give an idea of outlay and income. Bear in mind, that while some of the biggest offshore grosses come from China, the studios are only getting a 25% cut from that territory. Also, some of these pictures will end up doing well in home entertainment and may make a profit over time — as in, a few years.
Here are some of the films we were able to compile from smallest to highest budgets with worldwide grosses (and percentage »

What a summer at the movies! The galaxy got guarded. The future days went past, like some sort of extinct age. The planet of the apes stopped rising and started dawning. Our stars had a fault. And also: Lucy!
Hollywood had a rough season at the box office in summer 2014, with overall box-office receipts falling precipitously from last year's flurry of mega-grossers. Going into this weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy, the highest-grossing film at the summer box-office, has earned about $256 million–which would have made it the fifth highest-grossing movie of summer 2013.

Last night, amidst the butts and the Feminism and the important message from Miley Cyrus, the VMAs bestowed its latest award for Best Direction to Daniels, aka Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, for helming the Lil Jon and DJ Snake music video for "Turn Down For What." You didn't miss that part of the show, because this category isn't millennial-friendly enough for the telecast (nor was the one given to Oscar-nominated art director Anastasia Masaro), but somewhere in the night there were some Moonman statues given to a duo that might just be the franchise film directors of the future. In winning the award, Kwan and Scheinert follow in the footsteps of such notable directors as David Fincher (The Social Network), Spike Jonze (Her), Adam Yauch (Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!), Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), Tarsem Singh (Mirror Mirror), Jake Scott (Welcome to the Rileys), Samuel Bayer (Nightmare on Elm Street), Steve Barron (the »

Troy NoKA is better known for dreamy, immersive electronic soundscapes than body-moving bangers, but lately friends have been prodding him to create something for the club. Not wanting to disappoint his homies, the Los Angeles singer, songwriter, producer and emcee has whipped up new EP single Gettin' It. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, this joint finds NoKA stacking paper and dispatching his enemies over his own bass-booming percussion and clipped synth arpeggios. Bay Area vet Mistah F.A.B. contributes his high-energy flows to verse two. Despite the record's orientation toward the dancefloor, the artist's taste for baroque instrumental flourishes is evident in the contrapuntal strings running through the cut, as well as in the glittering keyboard outro. Fans will be able to Gettin' It and much more on Troy's next street album, LOVE.FEAR.PIANOS. The project as yet lacks a drop date but, as always, we'll keep you supplied with the latest news and tunes.

Photos: 20 iPad competitors to watch
Summary: The Apple iPad has re-energized the market for tablet computers but it has gone nearly all of 2010 without a serious challenger. That will soon change. Here are 20 upstarts taking aim at the iPad.
7 of 21Image
Now one of the world's top five computer makers and one of the leaders in design, ASUS has talked throughout the year about launching various iPad competitors (branded "Eee Pad") from 9-inch to 12-inch models, running Windows 7, Windows Embedded Compact, or Android. ASUS has promised a tablet will be coming in the first quarter of 2011.

One of the big hits of CES 2010, the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid is a convertible tablet with a multi-touch screen that detaches from a hardware keyboard. The main system runs Windows 7 but the detachable 11.6-inch screen turns into a standalone tablet running Linux. It has been delayed until 2011, but Lenovo says the standalone tablet will be released separately as the Lenovo LePad in December.

The mods must like me a lot. Ive gotten a few warnings as well and occasionally they even look at my profile so it must be true :P
Hahahaha. That profile view means everything. I'd say the ones that look at my page make sure I'm not doing anything against the rules. Which wouldn't surprise me in anyway if I were :P.
I just must be a super interesting cool person then :P
I'm looking at you @Kakuna Matata; >:(
Kaori; is so lovely and KM is awesome :D
Well I have burnt two sandwiches today , thus proving I can't cook.
Haha thanks man. Likely not cooking anything the rest of the day.
I can't cook to save my life. I end up burning almost everything. I made some ramen today, though that's easy.
That's not the problem, I always leave my food in too long and forget about it.
That might be a good idea lol.

6. A jet aircraft powered by at least one jet engine comprising a rotary compressor driven by a gas turbine, comprising:
a tank, containing a mixture of between 10 and 40 wt % ammonia, 20 and 40 wt % urea, and 20 and 70 wt % water, mounted on the jet aircraft; and
at least one injection nozzle, in fluid communication with the tank, located to inject the mixture into the exhaust gases wherein the injection nozzle is located to inject the mixture in the exhaust of the jet engine where the temperature would be between 1100� F. and 1300� F. in normal operation of the jet engine.
7. A jet aircraft powered by at least one jet engine, comprising:
a tank containing a mixture consisting essentially of about 23 wt % ammonia, about 30 wt % urea, and about 47 wt % water on aboard the jet aircraft; and
means for injecting the mixture into the exhaust gases of each jet engine powering the aircraft, said means for injecting in fluid communication with the tank.
This invention relates to methods of lowering the amount of oxides of nitrogen produced in the exhaust gases of jet engines.
Concern has been raised about the pollution caused by jet engine exhaust. Jet engines burn hydrocarbon fuels in air. While the high velocity exhaust produces the desired thrust, the exhaust also contains oxides of nitrogen. Oxides of nitrogen (also referred to as NOx) are recognized contributors to air pollution. It is normally conceded that jet engines produce only a small portion of the total amount of nitrogen oxides in the air. However, the amount produced by jet engines is especially significant since most of the NOx emissions produced by jet engines are emitted at high altitudes above the tropopause, the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Oxides of nitrogen emitted above the tropopause tend to be particularly destructive to the upper layers of the atmosphere, including the ozone layer.
The impact of emitted NOx on the upper layers of the atmosphere will be increasingly severe as the number of high flying jet aircraft increases. The number of aircraft that may safely use the upper layers of the atmosphere may be exceeded by the increased aircraft traffic. This may happen soon, if high flying supersonic aircraft designs are further developed. Therefore, a method to lower the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted at high altitude would be of great benefit.
No method of NOx abatement currently used or suggested is entirely satisfactory to reduce NOx emitted from jet engines. One suggested method of lowering NOx is to redesign the jet engine. Jet engine manufacturers hope to achieve such clean combustion that the engine no longer produces NOx. But such redesigns have yet to prove themselves and may result in extremely temperamental engines. Another method is to reformulate the fuel used in jet engines. But the jet fuels have already been reformulated to eliminate most aromatic components. What further reformulation could be economically done is not clear. Methods of lowering NOx emissions that are useful for ground transportation, catalytic converters and the like, are impractical with jet engines.
A mixture of urea, ammonia, and water is injected into the exhaust of jet engines to lower the weight rate of NOx emitted from jet engines. The mixture reacts with the NOx to yield environmentally safe molecular nitrogen. This mixture is useful for reducing the emission of NOx at all altitudes and operating conditions. In a preferred embodiment the amount of NOx emitted above the troposphere is reduced than would otherwise be the case for the same number of aircraft.
Jet engines use the power generated by burning a fuel in air to produce thrust. The thrust is usually used directly to propel an aircraft. The thrust may alternatively be used to provide power to a rotary member.
Jet engines come in a variety of forms. Ramjets are the structurally simplest jet engines. They are essentially hollow tubes that admit air at one end, add fuel to burn in the air, and exhaust the hot gases produced out the other end. The most common form of jet engine is the turbine jet. The turbine member includes both a rotary compressor and a turbine mounted on a shaft. The shaft is rotatably mounted in a tube-like body. The compressor stage compresses the incoming air used to support combustion of a fuel. The resulting hot gases then move past, and rotate, the turbine before being exhausted into the atmosphere. Turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and the like will herein all be considered to be types of turbine jets. Afterburners are frequently mounted after turbine jets to achieve supersonic speeds. An afterburner can be thought of as a type of ramjet that uses the exhaust of a turbine as its air source. Finally, there are exotic forms of jets less frequently encountered, but still within the scope of this invention and the appended claims. Pulsejets are one form of exotic jet engine.
The total amount of NOx emitted by a given jet engine combusting a given amount of fuel can be lowered by injecting a mixture of urea, ammonia, and water into the exhaust of the jet engine. The mixture of urea, ammonia, and water is effective for lowering the weight rate at which NOx is emitted over a wide temperature and residence time range. The reason for this effectiveness is not clear. However, although urea is a source of ammonia through decomposition, it appears that urea may also act as a catalyst for a reaction between NOx and ammonia. It is known that urea can be hydrolyzed at elevated temperatures to form ammonia and water. However, urea, in the presence of an initial concentration of ammonia, produces more ammonia than when urea is the only component present initially. Therefore, an interaction between urea and ammonia is believed responsible for the increased ammonia production, accounting for the effectiveness observed. However, the invention is not to be bound by this or any other theory of of operation.
Both ammonia and urea are individually difficult to handle. Ammonia, especially anhydrous ammonia, presents dangers to its users. It is corrosive and, when liquid, cold enough (-33� C., -27� F.) to require special handling. It has the major drawback of producing an ammonia cloud upon spilling that doesn't readily dissipate. This cloud is deadly to all life, plant and animal, that happen to be enveloped by it. Consequently, an accidental spill of ammonia is very serious. Urea is a solid and thus presents the handling problems associated with powdery solids. Powdery solids are so difficult to handle that their use is precluded on aircraft.
Mixtures of ammonia, urea, and water are, in general, liquid compositions that can easily be handled and give good results. These compositions can be used to yield high rates of conversion of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and water. One does not have to face any of the problems involved in the handling of anhydrous ammonia or solid urea.
It is believed that ammonia is the active reducing agent in the process of the invention. In the mixtures of ammonia, urea, and water of this invention, urea is a precursor to ammonia. NOx, which consists essentially of NO and NO2, is converted to nitrogen and water in accordance with the following overall reactions:
Urea is hydrolyzed to ammonia at elevated temperatures in accordance with the following equation: ##STR1## Therefore, one can think of the mixture of ammonia, urea, and water useful in this invention as an ammonia source. The added convenience of use allows ammonia reduction of NOx in aircraft that don't have the capacity to carry the extra weight of the cryogenic equipment, and associated hardware, that would be involved with the safe inflight handling of ammonia.
In general, any mixture of urea, ammonia and water can be used in the practice of the present invention. For example, molar ratios of urea to ammonia of about 1:5 to about 5:1, preferably about 1:2 to about 2:1, can be used. Preferred compositions have total nitrogen contents between about 25 and 50 weight percent, preferably between about 30 and 37 weight percent, and most preferably between about 32 and 35 weight percent. Preferred compositions include between 20 and 40 wt % urea, 10 and 40 wt % ammonia, and 20 and 70 wt % water. More importantly, the compositions useful in the present invention preferably have ammonia equivalents in the range of 30 to 60 wt %. A first such mixture of ammonia, urea, and water particularly useful in the process of the present invention contains about 30 wt % urea, about 23 wt % ammonia, and about 47 wt % water. It is preferred because it has a relatively high ammonia equivalent of 39 wt % and can be handled safely. A second composition is a mixture containing about 33 wt % urea, about 37 wt % ammonia, and about 30 wt % water. This alternative, however, is less attractive than the first composition because, although providing an ammonia equivalent of 55 wt % percent, it presents handling problems, since it boils at room temperature.
Mixtures of ammonia, urea, and water may have a high total nitrogen content and high boiling point. However, some of these compositions have been found to have unexpectedly low temperatures of crystallization. Specifically, a A detailed discussion of this unexpectedly low crystallization temperature can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,508,558 issued to Young, which Patent is hereby incorporated in full. This can be advantageous inflight because the ambient temperature is so cold at altitudes above the tropopause.
Typically, the weight rate of NOx produced by a given jet engine will be known. Based on RXNs 1 to 3 the stoichiometric rate or ratio of the mixture of ammonia, urea, and water for the amount of NOx in the exhaust can be calculated. The mixture will be injected into the jet engine exhaust at between 50% and 200%, preferably between 75% and 150% of the stoichiometric rate. Typically, it has been found that engines produce NOx at a rate requiring about a one-to-one rate of the preferred compositions previously defined for the additive. In other words, for a hypothetical "normal" jet engine operating under "normal" operating conditions, about one kilogram of mixture can be added for every kilogram of NOx produced in the engine's exhaust. If, in the hypothetical given, the jet engine produces one kilogram of NOx per hour, then one kilogram of mixture can be added per hour of engine time. Other jet engines operating under different conditions may require more or less of the mixture. Calculation of the amount for any jet engine is well within the skill of the art, once the rate at which NOx is produced by the engine is known.
Jet engines are designed to have extremely efficient combustion chambers. The engines burn fuel at about the temperature normal for a stoichiometric mixture of air and hydrocarbon fuel, which is about 1100� F. to 2000� F., usually between 1200� F. to 1800� F. The mixture of ammonia, urea, and water is preferably injected by an injection means into the jet engine exhaust at a point where the exhaust temperature is greater than 1000� F. This will generally be at some point behind the combustion chamber, or optionally between a combustion chamber and any afterburners present. However, it is generally desired that a composition not be allowed either into a combustion chamber or afterburner, to avoid oxidizing the urea and ammonia to NOx. In the case of a turbine jet engine, the mixture is preferably added aft of the turbine to avoid contacting the turbine with particulate matter.
The injection means useful in the operation of the invention may be used continuously in the turbine jet portion of the jet engine. It will usually comprise a tank to hold a quantity of the ammonia, urea, and water mixture, a pump, piping from the tank to a point near the engine exhaust stream, and at least one nozzle for directing the liquid mixture into the exhaust stream. The injection means will be adjustable to provide maximum NOx abatement as the engine throttle settings are varied.
Afterburners are widely used in military aircraft, but are currently uncommon in commercial aircraft. Military aircraft use the afterburners intermittently, usually to enable supersonic sprints. In one embodiment of this invention, an injection means can be used intermittently for use in aircraft with intermittent need for afterburners. Such engines require only an intermittent need for abatement of NOx produced by an afterburner. Many supersonic commercial aircraft now being developed are expected to use their afterburners constantly during routine flight. Therefore, in a second embodiment of this invention, the afterburner injection means contemplated for commercial aircraft will operate throughout the flight.
The mixture of ammonia, urea, and water added to the exhaust lowers the NOx emitted by the engine to low levels. Assume, for example, use of this invention lowers the level of NOx to half what it is without treatment. Two aircraft using this invention can replace one aircraft not using this invention without increasing the amount of NOx put into the atmosphere. Therefore, more aircraft can use the fragile upper atmosphere without damaging it further. A benefit of this is that more aircraft can fly in the upper atmosphere while producing the same or lower environmentally harmful amount of NOx.
More particularly, one embodiment of the invention provides a method for increasing the environmentally safe carrying capacity of the earth's atmosphere for aircraft traffic at altitudes higher than the tropopause. At least one aircraft having means for injecting a a mixture of ammonia, urea, and water into an exhaust stream of the aircraft is flown higher than the tropopause. The mixture is injected into the engine exhaust while the aircraft is above the tropopause. This lowers the amount of nitrogen oxides placed into the atmosphere per aircraft flying at high altitudes. The operation of many aircraft injecting the mixture of ammonia, urea, and water results in a substantial lowering of NOx.
Although this invention has been primarily described in conjunction with references to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended that the spirit and scope of the appended claims embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations.

We need your ideas to build ties: Hillary to Indian Americans
Submitted by Jamie Williamson on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 05:43
Washington, Oct 29 - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has asked Indian Americans to use their connections to India to tackle tough challenges from improving global health to empowering people to improving their own lives.
"Governments alone cannot solve any of these problems. We need your ideas, and we need help from people like you," she said in video remarks to a "People-to-People Conference" to highlight the crucial role of Indian Americans in the ever-strengthening bilateral relationship ahead of President Barack Obama's India visit.
"That's why the connections you're forming today are so important," she said at the conference organised by the State Department n cooperation with the Indian American Leadership Council and the American India Foundation Thursday.
"Your leadership across the United States - along with your connection to communities in India - gives you insights that can benefit all of us," Clinton said.
In a keynote address, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, the highest ranking Indian American, spoke about how the community can help with issues related to the US-India Strategic Dialogue: renewable energy, global health, education and economic empowerment.
Indian Ambassador Meera Shankar said the conference is a testimony to the growing presence of the Indian American community in the US and the strong influence they bring to bear in strengthening India-US relations.
Speaking about the growing economic relations between the two countries, she outlined the future prospects for engagement of the community through the various schemes that the governments are working on. (IANS)

Dernière mise à jour : 29 avr. 2014 17:03:40
Alternative House's programs include (at NO cost to youth or families):
The Emergency Shelter for Teenagers serves approximately 200 homeless, runaway and abused youth each year. Young people 13 to 17 years-old may stay at the shelter for three weeks. Services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no cost to teens or their families. In addition to providing a safe haven, food and clothing to young people, teens receive intense individual counseling, group counseling and crisis stabilization. Whenever possible, family counseling is also provided. Of young people who come to us from an intact home, approximately 95% return home with supportive after-care counseling available.
Our AYM – Assisting Young Mothers program for pregnant and parenting girls who are homeless was full the day it opened and has a large waiting list. This 18 to 24 month residential program for young women 16 to 24 years old and their babies helps the young women increase their parenting skills, continue their education, receive employment training and save towards the day they will leave the program and establish a home for themselves and their child. Our goal is to help these young women achieve their own goals – of becoming a more nurturing parent and of having the skills needed to become a contributing member of the community. Fifteen young women and their children participate in the AYM program at any one time.
Our newest program is the Homeless Youth Initiative helps young people who are homeless, without the support of a parent or guardian and who are still in high school. Last year at the end of the school year there were 108 young people in this precarious position. Thanks to Federal Stimulus funding, this year we are able to do something to help them. In partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools, Alternative House is leading a three-pronged program to provide housing and other supports. We are recruiting Host Homes (similar to hosting a foreign exchange student), providing rent vouchers and have a small transitional living program that can work with four young women. Program participants are 16 to 21 years old and must be completing high school.
The Culmore Teen Center served more than 250 youth this past year. The drop-in center provides a safe place away from gang recruitment in one of the most heavily gang-infested areas in Fairfax. Counselors at the center along with community volunteers, provide homework help, tutoring, and recreation and field trips, counseling and community service projects. The center also provides meals for those who need it. Similar outreach services are provided at the Franconia Family Resource Center for young people who live in the Springfield area of Fairfax County.
One of our newest outreach efforts is the Safe Youth Project, an after-school program for 4th, 5th and 6th graders. Our first Safe Youth Project in Culmore was so successful that we were able to open a second program in Annandale. The program provides homework help, tutoring, community service opportunities, computer skills, and recreational opportunities. It was opened after police asked Alternative House if we could work with younger youth. Local gangs have started recruiting children as young as 10. Waiting to provide prevention services beginning in middle school could be too late. The Safe Youth Project has exceeded its enrollment projection of 30 youth at each location and provides neighborhood-based services four days a week.
Alternative House also offers a 24 hour national toll-free hotline – 1-800-SAY-TEEN for anyone in need of assistance. Affiliated with the National Runaway Switchboard, the hotline receives an average of 150 calls per month. Free walk-in counseling is also provided for young people in crisis at our Emergency Shelter for Teenagers.
