Amphibious transport dock 'Arlington' (LPD 24) built by Huntington Ingalls Industries successfully completes U.S. Navy acceptance sea trials.
The company's eighth ship in the LPD 17 class returned to Pascagoula following three days of at-sea demonstrations and testing.
While at sea in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) observed more than 200 test events demonstrated on the ship by Ingalls' test and trials team. The team thoroughly tested ship systems such as anchor handling, flight operations, steering, navigation, and ballasting and de-ballasting the well deck. The team also performed a full power demonstration.
"We have a good working relationship with Supervisor of Shipbuilding (SUPSHIP) Gulf Coast, and together, we had a very good sea trial," said Richard Schenk, Ingalls' vice president of test and trials. "LPD 24 is a great ship, and she performed well for INSURV. We even had an opportunity to steam in formation with Anchorage (LPD 23) while at sea. It takes a great deal of logistical planning to pull off such a successful trial, and I would like to congratulate the Ingalls and SUPSHIP teams for making this a success."
The 11 ships of the LPD 17 class are a key element of the Navy's ability to project power ashore. Collectively, they functionally replace more than 41 ships (the LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113 and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships), providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern, sea-based platforms that are networked, survivable and built to operate with 21st century platforms, such as the MV-22 Osprey.
Ingalls has delivered seven ships in the class and has four more in various stages of construction, including Arlington (LPD 24), which will be commissioned next spring.

The post Video of the Day: Glowing Jellyfish Discovered in the Deepest Part of the Sea appeared first on All That Is Interesting.]]>
Resembling a transparent alien spaceship and lurking over two miles below the ocean's surface, this recently-discovered jellyfish might just be the first of its kind ever spotted.
On April 24, scientists encountered the creature in the video above during one part of the NOAA 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Mariana Trench. The trench is considered the lowest point on Earth; according to National Geographic, if you could drop Mount Everest into the Mariana Trench, its peak would still be more than a mile underwater.
This hyrdomedusa (a way cooler alternate term for a jellyfish), belongs to the genus Crossota — and that's about all scientists can say about its classification so far.
With two sets of tentacles — one long and one short — this jellyfish moves through the water while the "bell," the translucent ball at the top of the animal, remains still.
Scientists attribute this type of movement to what they call "ambush predation mode," which allows the jellyfish to hunt by ambushing its prey. They also believe that the glowing yellow balls within the bell are the jellyfish's gonads.
Scientists operating the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer happened upon the glowing jellyfish as it was floating around the Enigma Seamount, one of the Mariana Trench's mountains, about 2.3 miles beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Though the Mariana Trench remains a supremely dark and mysterious region of the ocean, other strange life forms have been found thriving there.
In March 2013, researchers at the University of Southern Denmark discovered microbes living in the sediment of the sea bed — all despite lack of sunlight, and pressure more than 1000 times the standard atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface.
NOAA's exploration of the Mariana Trench is scheduled to continue its third leg in June, which hopefully means we'll have plenty more strange and surreal animal sightings to look forward to.
Next, read these 12 bizarre facts about jellyfish. Then, find out more about the strange sounds recently recorded in the Mariana Trench.

The post 25 Photos of Surprisingly "Normal" Life in Sudanese Refugee Camps appeared first on All That Is Interesting.]]>
In the 1980s, the volatile political landscape in the Horn of Africa — borne primarily by famine and civil war between the brutal Derg regime and the people of Ethiopia — brought about the deaths of hundreds of thousands. By 1990, over 1 million refugees from the Horn of Africa would flee the region, and one area that hosted several refugee camps for the displaced was Sudan.
Photographer Frank Keillor visited some of the refugee camps in central and eastern Sudan during the mid-'80s in order to document living conditions there. While wealthy countries and NGOs shipped food and supplies to the camps, there still wasn't enough for everyone. What was delivered was sometimes held up by red tape, and famine sometimes hit the camps.
In other ways, some camps actually offered refugees a sense of normalcy, even allowing children to go to "school." Keillor's photographs –- while taken at some of the seemingly better organized camps — tell that story:Click here to view slideshow

The post North Korea Bans Weddings Ahead of Rare Congressional Meeting appeared first on All That Is Interesting.]]>
Love is officially dead in North Korea, as leader Kim Jong-un has now banned weddings.
In fact, as the infamous dictator prepares for the Worker's Party of Korea's first congressional meeting in 36 years, weddings, funerals, and any freedom of movement in and out of the capital, Pyongyang, are all now a no-go for "security reasons."
Cheong Joon-hee, a spokesman for South Korea's Unification Ministry, said that the North's government hoped that the ban will help avoid any "mishaps" at the congress.
It's not at all surprising that the government would take such precautions, given the importance of these congressional meetings.
At this congress, Kim Jong-un is expected to formally declare North Korea's status as a nuclear-armed state. His coronation party will also be held, cementing his status as the country's supreme leader.
The last party congress was held in 1980, when Kim Jong-un's father, Kim Jong-il, was officially named the heir to the country's position of supreme leader.
The celebratory nature of the upcoming gathering, which brings thousands of delegates from all over the country to Pyongyang, stands in contrast to the tough sanctions the UN Security Council placed on the country in March. These sanctions aim to curb any funding for the research, development, and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by the North Korean government.
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Su-yong defended the upcoming congress and condemned the sanctions.
"One of the most important things through this party congress is to show to the entire world the union of our people," he told the Associated Press. "The real source of power in our country isn't nuclear weapons or any other military means, but the single-minded unity of the people."
The congress will most likely support Kim Jong-un's nuclear ambitions, though his recently ordered nuclear tests have caused international tension and economic hardships for the country.
Leading up the congress, the North Korean government implemented a "70-day campaign of loyalty" to demonstrate their fealty to Kim Jong-un through increased productivity.
Next, catch a rare glimpse of a Monday morning in Pyongyang. Then, read more about North Korea's hydrogen bomb tests.

This week in tech: Unbelievable new hoverboard record, Elon Musk's "gym" for robots, drinking wine is actually good for your gut, and how a weasel managed to shut down the Large Hadron Collider.
In the three weeks since French company Zapata Racing posted the above test video of its Flyboard Air jet-powered hoverboard, the clip has accumulated 3.7 million views, countless exclamations of awe, and just as many disbelievers calling bullshit.
Now, with Guinness officially recognizing Saturday's Flyboard Air flight in the south of France as the longest hoverboard flight on record, even the most staunch disbelievers must eat their words.
On Saturday, over the waters off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins, Zapata Racing leader Franky Zapata flew his hoverboard 7,388 feet (that's almost a mile and a half), smashing the previous record by over 905 feet.
See the admittedly shaky video of the event made available so far from Zapata, and read more at Guinness.
While Tesla/SpaceX tech giant Elon Musk has, like Stephen Hawking and many others, gone on record as saying that artificial intelligence just might be the greatest threat to humanity's existence, he's now opened a virtual "gym" for A.I. robots to develop their capabilities.
This virtual gym, developed by Musk-affiliated OpenAI, is an online tooklit and forum for A.I. developers to compare and refine their algorithms.
"Nothing beats a competitive environment to motivate developers," Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, told ComputerWorld. "It's like a monster truck rally for AI programmers."
Don't let anyone tell you that your caffeine or cabernet sauvignon habits are hurting you — a new study suggests that consuming wine, tea or coffee is associated with a healthier gut.
The study, published in Science, found that consumption of these beverages is associated with a healthier and "more diverse community of microbes living in the gut," the L.A. Times reported.
Microbes are the tiny bacterial organisms that help the body process food and regulate the immune system. Together, they form a 'microbiome,' which can influence mood disorders, obesity and diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome.
After collecting samples from over 1,000 participants, researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands found that consuming fruits, vegetables and yogurt had a positive impact on microbial diversity in the gut — as did drinking tea, wine, coffee and buttermilk. Sugary sodas and snacks, however, did not.

The post How Did The Rock Know About Osama Bin Laden's Death Before Anyone Else? appeared first on All That Is Interesting.]]>
Just got word that will shock the world – Land of the free…home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) May 2, 2011
On May 1, 2011, at approximately 2 p.m. eastern time, U.S. military forces stormed the Abbottobad, Pakistan compound of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Forty minutes later, bin Laden was dead.
An hour after that, President Obama received word that the mission to kill bin Laden was likely a success. By 7 p.m., that report was firmed up and Obama prepared to address the nation. And, finally, at 11:35 p.m., he went on television to share the historic news.
But just over an hour before he did, wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson beat him — and the rest of the world — to the punch.
At 10:24 p.m., Johnson tweeted the message above. Although he has routinely declined to substantively comment about the tweet, it is widely accepted by the news media that it refers to bin Laden's death.
And now, the obvious question: How did Johnson know?
While the answer may never be known for certain, the most often cited theory is that Johnson heard the news from his cousin, a Navy SEAL (one of the groups integral to the mission to kill bin Laden).
It's also possible that Johnson, for whatever reason, was parroting a tweet from Keith Urbahn, the former chief of staff to former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Some sources say Urbahn's tweet actually went out before Johnson's did (by a matter of seconds) — although even that seems to be debated.
But regardless of Urbahn or Johnson or any of the other hundreds upon hundreds of people in-the-know well before the news went public, this historic night finally crystallized at 11:35 p.m., when President Obama stepped up to the podium in the White House's East Room:

The post The Beltane Fire Festival Welcomes Summer With Flames, Nudity, Masks, And More appeared first on All That Is Interesting.]]>
Forget buying a new bathing suit; each year, performers in Edinburgh, Scotland's Beltane Fire Festival welcome summer with flames and nudity.
Beltane, in case you weren't up-to-date on your ancient Gaelic history, is a Pagan holiday celebrated on May 1, halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The Beltane festival marks the beginning of summer, and celebrates the fertility of the coming year. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain (more commonly known as Halloween these days), Imbolc and Lughnasadh.
Fire plays an important role in the Beltane festivities: Historically, flames, smoke, and ashes from bonfires kindled during the festival were thought to have protective powers. All household fires would be doused and then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire.
During the Beltane feast, food and drink would be offered to the aos sí, the faeries. Homes and cattle were then decorated with yellow May flowers, another invocation of fire.
In modern times, the Beltane Fire Society has revived these ancient traditions by celebrating the Beltane Fire Festival on April 30 in Calton Hill Park:Click here to view slideshow

Massive starts network to put ads in video games
Advertising, already ubiquitous in movies and on television, took a step into video games on Monday as Massive Inc. launched a network to place and serve ads within games.
Massive said brand names like Coke, Paramount and Intel were already on board, with 40 games set to offer advertisements from Massive's network on in-game virtual billboards and shop windows by the end of the year. The company has been in "beta" testing on its network since last year.
As the key audience of men ages 18 to 34 increasingly embraces video games as a preferred entertainment medium, at the expense of traditional forms such as television, advertisers are looking at games as an attractive way to reach that high-spending demographic.
For game publishers, there is relatively little work to do to make space for ads in a game and plenty of reason to do it -- Massive said early returns showed publishers were earning up to $2 on each copy of a game sold with ads from their network.
Massive's ads appear in games like "Anarchy Online" and the new "Splinter Cell Chaos Theory," in many of the places an ad would be seen in real life -- on billboards, shop windows, the sides of buses and the like.
Ten publishers have signed on with Massive, Chief Executive Mitch Davis said, including Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Ubi Soft. By the end of this year, Davis said, 40 games will incorporate the network.
Besides Coke, Paramount and Intel, other major brands appearing in ads on the network include Nestle, Honda, T-Mobile and Dunkin' Donuts.
In a research note last month, Harris Nesbitt analyst Edward Williams suggested the market for dynamic in-game ads could be in the "hundreds of millions to even billions of dollars annually," with the potential for sharp growth rates.
But Williams also suggested there were significant hurdles -- not the least of which was ensuring advertising did not dominate game-play.
"How companies generate incremental revenues through ads will be critical to the consumer's willingness to put up with it. In other words, a successful campaign will blend in with the rest of the game -- maybe even add to the realism of the product," he said.

Both husband and wife are Government servants
Leave Travel Concession: when both husband and wife are Government servants and are residing together. reg.
According to the definition of family as given under rule 4, which is applicable, in travel inter alia, for the purpose of admissibility of LTC, the family of a Government servant includes wife or husband, as the case may be, residing with the Government servant and children residing with and wholly dependent upon the Govt. servant. In addition, it includes the parents, sisters and minor brothers, if residing with and wholly dependent upon the Government servant.
According to the existing position where both husband and wife are Govt. servants and are residing together, they constitute one family unit for the purpose of LTC and only one of them can claim this concession and the other spouse travels as a member of his/her family.
In such a case, the Govt. servants are required to make a joint declaration of a common hometown, which can be the hometown of either of the spouses or a third place. Therefore, the spouse who avails the LTC as member of family of the other could not claim the benefit separately for his/her own parents or dependent minor brothers and sisters even if they were residing with him/her.
On the other hand, where a couple, both being Govt. servants, are residing separately can claim the benefit of LTC individually for their dependent parents, minor brothers and sisters and also declare two separate places as their respective hometowns.
Therefore, the husband and wife when both are Govt. employees and are staying together suffer from certain disadvantages inasmuch as they have to declare common hometown and only one of them can claim the benefit of LTC.
The matter has been considered in consultation with Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) and it has been decided that where husband and wife both are Govt. servants, they could, at their option, choose to declare separate hometown and both of them may claim the concession separately under the normal provisions of CCS (LTC) Rules in respect of the members of their respective families subject to the condition that if husband or wife avails the facility as a member of the family of the other, he or she will not be entitled for claiming the concession for self independently. Similarly, the children shall be eligible for the benefit in one particular block as members of the family of one of the parents only.
All other conditions for admissibility of the LTC shall continue to be applicable as per normal provisions of the scheme. The above decision will be applicable to the journeys performed for availing the LTC against the block years 1990-91 onwards. (DOPT OM No. 31011/8/89-Est.(A), dated 8.5.1990

Yahoo! is streaming the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway, so you'd think it could get the name of its CEO right. But nooooo. The folks at yahoo.com just can't tell the difference between a serve-yourself meal and Warren Buffett:
It looks like someone at yahoo.com made an adaptation of adaptation, or just chose to use the less common adaption:
Some dictionaries don't recognize adaption as a legitimate word. Others cite adaption as a variation of the preferred adaptation. Are they both correct? According to Grammarist:
… the longer word, adaptation, is preferred by most publications and is much more common. Adaption is not completely absent, but it usually gives way to the longer form in edited writing.
Aha! The word adaptation is the preferred option in edited writing. That explains why adaption appears on Yahoo!.
After after spotting the repeated word on yahoo.com, I noticed the picture of Queen Elizabeth surrounded by children:
And then I read the caption and was shocked. Did no one at Yahoo! notice that the children in the picture are far too young to be the queen's grandchildren? Did no one realize they are the queen's great-grandchildren?
Do you think the editors at yahoo.com were banking on their readers' ignorance when they wrote this?
The expression that means "rely or depend on" is bank on. It is not simply bank. And adding the word on to that sentence just won't cut it. It needs to be rewritten to be grammatically correct.
When asked why they put quotation marks around a character's name and why they thought "details are mum" made sense, the editors at yahoo.com are mum:
If the name of the movie Mr. Affleck will direct is "Batman," then it deserves quotation marks. But it's not. That's the name of the character that will be central to a movie. Character names don't get special treatment. You wouldn't write about "Romeo" and "Juliet" would you? (Well, if you're a Yahoo! editor you might, but the rest of the English-speaking world wouldn't.) And why tell us that "details are mum"? Because aren't details always silent? Perhaps it was the producer who is mum and details are missing or nonexistent.

As its non-U.S. audience continues to surge, now accounting for 60 percent of all active users, Facebook has promoted Mike Murphy to run its global sales efforts. Murphy will oversee growing audience monetization efforts in the U.K., where Facebook recently launched a sales office and employs 12 to 15 staffers, as well as in Canada, Australia and other markets.
Murphy's title remains VP of Media Sales. His expanded duties were made public along with the news that Owen Van Natta, chief revenue officer and one of Facebook's first employees, will soon leave the company after a short transition. Additionally, strategy and operations VP Matt Cohler was promoted to VP of product management.
"As chief revenue officer and previously chief operating officer, [Van Natta] has been instrumental in building out the core infrastructure of the company and has been key to building Facebook's Microsoft relationship," a spokesperson said in a statement.
Facebook credited Van Natta with capably building up its sales and business development teams. Yet he may have been under pressure to improve monetization faster through direct sales and a network relationship with Microsoft. In an all-hands conference call with staffers, CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told staffers the company had brought in approximately $150 million last year, an arguably low figure for a three-year-old tech wunderkind valued at $15 billion by recent investments. Zuckerberg also reportedly said the company's internal goal is to double revenue in 2008 to $300 million.
Facebook's plans for ramping up earnings include new products like its Social Ads referral-based units and its Beacon third party behavioral data sharing program, announced in November. Even though the latter product suffered a setback in the U.S. last year when a privacy outcry forced Facebook to make it opt in, executives have hinted they still hold out hope for its eventual success.
Improved monetization of Facebook's global audience will also be key, which is where Murphy will be expected to shine. After the U.S. and the U.K., Facebook says its top five country-specific audiences include Canada, Turkey and Australia, in that order. Rounding out the top ten are France, Sweden, Norway, Colombia and South Africa. Europe, including the U.K., now accounts for almost a third of active users.
Facebook opened its first U.K. sales office in October. Led by Commercial Director Blake Chandlee, the London outpost has been growing rapidly, according to a Facebook spokesperson. In comments last month, Chandlee said the firm had set its sites on innovative formats rather than traditional display ads.
"The big three are building large ad networks, and that's their strategy. That's a pure media play, and not something we were interested in doing as a business," he stated.
Murphy was promoted to his current gig after a stint as VP of media sales for Yahoo's Western region. Earlier he was president at TAG, Inc. and, before that, managing director of business development at CMP Media.

The critically acclaimed US fantasy drama Game of Thrones has topped the chart for illegal downloads, confirming it is the most popular TV show watched by people who are not watching TV.
More than 4.2 million people around the world downloaded the series - the chart is calculated by ranking the most downloaded single episodes of shows - roughly matching its US television audience.
The series draws a weekly audience of around 3.8 million. Its second season finale, which aired in the US in June, attracted around 4.2 million viewers.
The list, compiled by the website TorrentFreak from a number of sources, including reports from public BitTorrent trackers, represents an eclectic mix of shows.
It includes popular shows fuelled by critical mass (Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother), blue-chip cable dramas not always available outside the US (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead) and cult shows which appeal to the geek demographic (Fringe, Revolution).
Illegal downloading via BitTorrent networks has been in slight decline for some time, though reports suggest 2012 has seen a small rise. In part that would be fuelled by faster internet services being introduced worldwide and a migration away from traditional television in which some consumers now exclusively watch TV content via the internet.
In the US, where the phenomenon has attracted some discussion, they are referred to as "cord cutters" or "cable cutters", because they are households which have effectively cut their cable cord. (Many homes in the US get terrestrial television via cable, as well as pay TV.)
The majority of TV-show piracy - a figure estimated to be around 80 per cent - occurs outside the US.
But Game of Thrones's numbers would be bolstered by larger-than-usual illegal downloading inside the US. The series is not offered for free by HBO as an online playback, and HBO's digital product, HBO GO, is only offered bundled with the channel subscription.
As a result, many US fans of the series have turned to the internet and illegal downloading to see the series.
Piracy has a much smaller impact on more mainstream US shows, such as Modern Family, NCIS and CSI, because most US networks offer their content for free to US viewers via their websites after they are broadcast on TV.
In contrast, there is no collective measurement for legal downloading as most broadcasters, in New Zealand and the US, put legal content online via their websites but do not publish comprehensive viewing data.
A list published by the US iTunes store in June 2012 of the most popular legally downloaded TV programs included Dexter, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.
But other more mainstream shows, such as Doctor Who, Modern Family, True Blood, Top Gear and Glee were also prominently positioned.
Full list: Most popular illegally downloaded TV shows

While green energy and the obesity epidemic have been buzzwords for over a decade, progress to find solutions has been slow. The Human Power Project is a novel idea that can serve as part of the solution to both the energy and obesity problem. The system works by convering energy from exercise into electricity that can then be used in the home or sent back into the electrical grid. The ultimate goal is to make a cheap and modular system that can be retrofitted onto existing machines in home or at the gym. What sets the project apart is its emphasis on the social aspects of exercise, urging people to exercise more by allowing them to join teams and compete with one another. This presentation will focus on the data logging, data administration, and social networking aspects of the project.

Canyon trail dedication May 18
GRAND CANYON - Grand Canyon National Park and the Grand Canyon Association will dedicate the renovated trailhead for Bright Angel Trail, one of the oldest and best known trails in the National Park system at 4 p.m. on May 18.
This renovation encompasses a 3.5 acre area at and surrounding the Bright Angel Trailhead and is focused on creating an accessible and comfortable area for visitors.
Many people have had a hard time finding the trailhead and there was no convenient or comfortable place for people to sit to either enjoy the view or prepare for hikes. The renovation will greatly improve conditions at and around the trailhead, providing a much better experience for park visitors.
Bright Angel trail was one of the first entryways into Grand Canyon and was originally built by the Havasupai people. It was introduced to the public by John Cameron in the early 1900s. Today, thousands pass through on a typical summer day.

Sketches and Ballads is only one 36-minute track, but there's quite a lot packed into this "song." And although most avant-garde fans out there consider Full Blast to be a Peter Brötzman-helmed project (I know I do), "Sketches and Ballads" was actually composed entirely by drummer Michael Wertmüller. Furthering the democratic process is the inclusion of "friends," taking Full Blast from a trio to a one-off sextet.
This is a group that has always boasted a large sound for three people; after all, Brötzman's nickname is "Superlungs." But the addition of trumpeter Thomas Heberer, percussionist Dirk Rothbrust and restless multi-reedman Ken Vandermark just further galvanizes an already powerful band. And this is not some kind of Free Jazz-era Coleman behemot—this is a multi-movement composition flush with fluctuating tempo, dynamics and never ending tension. This is one of those albums that comes highly recommended, even though it's clearly not for everyone.

Alarm grows as more hunger strikers collapse
Aquino urged to meet protesters
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
December 20, 2012
There was rising concern in Manila today after 21 more farmers on hunger strike collapsed and were rushed to hospital as the Catholic bishops' conference appealed to President Benigno Aquino to cede to their demands to hold a meeting.
By this morning, 33 protesters had collapsed during a hunger strike started on Monday when the farmers – from Batangas, Bukidnon and Negros Occidental provinces – took over the fourth floor of the Agrarian Reform Department building in Manila calling for the government to speed up land redistribution.
All 33 farmers have promised to continue their hunger strike indefinitely until Aquino meets with them, said the leader of the group, Virgilio Jayme, a member of the peasant organization Task Force Mapaland.
"We are deeply concerned about the situation," said Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo, chairman of the social action secretariat of the bishops' conference. "We appeal to the president to listen to their requests and to grant them an audience as soon as possible, before the number of hunger strikers collapsing increases."
Aside from a meeting with the president, the hunger strikers have urged the dismissal of Agrarian Reform Secretary Virgilio Delos Reyes accusing him of lowering this year's land redistribution target from 260,000 hectares to 180,000 hectares.
As of a week ago, just under 50,000 hectares had been redistributed nationwide so far this year.
Some 900,000 hectares are still to be distributed under the program which requires the redistribution of farmland of more than five hectares to landless farmers before the end of June, 2014.

One wonders just how the US would react if Russian spyplanes were flying in the vicinity of Norfolk or San Diego."

Original article "A nonviolent coup to depose a democratically-elected president and install some of the most corrupt politicians — who, not coincidentally happen to be favored by the U.S. political establishment — is currently underway in Brazil. As the public's attention zeroes on the readying of troops for deployment to Syria, the U.S. government has been able to quietly lend its approval to the crooked and baseless move to oust Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff."
Original article "However, now, for the first time, Hersh has implicated Hillary Clinton directly in this 'rat line'."

SNL: Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake Upstaged By The Ladies In The Cast
Last night's Saturday Night Live, the highly anticipated Christmas special, saw host (and SNL alumnus) Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Justin Timberlake joining comedic forces yet again. With the dynamic duo backed by one of the most dynamic casts in years, the show closed out 2013 on a high note.
There were some familiar skits — Timberlake's infamous "Homelessville" number from 2006 was rebranded as "Wrappinville," with Fallon stepping in to duet with the singer. (Of course.) "The Barry Gibb Talk Show" also inevitably reared its head and even featured a surprise cameo from Madonna as well as the Bee Gees legend himself, Barry Gibb. The "Now That's What I Call Christmas" skit packed a few laughs (as well as Lorde's first official SNL parody — she's made it!), while Paul McCartney's merry Chipmunk caroling with Fallon was charming (and obviously made Fallon's life complete).
Overall, Fallon proved to be a consummate host. He was able to fulfill his inner rock-star dreams and has us excited for his upcoming Tonight Show takeover. However, we have to hand it to the women of SNL for officially killing it with their "Let's Do It in My Twin Bed" music video, the clear highlight of the evening. Kudos to them for tackling an age-old holiday-season issue — the humility of introducing your boyfriend to your childhood bedroom that's preserved in its full 1998-era glory — in hilarious musical style. "Wish we had more room, but grandma got the guest bedroom," they croon, as a creepy cat watches as Jimmy Fallon tries to get his swerve on. Awkward! And, a win.

Apple recalling European iPhone chargers
14 June 2014 [11:30] -
Apple has issued a recall notice in 37 countries for European iPhone chargers that were overheating.
"Apple has determined that, in rare cases, the Apple 5W European USB power adapter may overheat and pose a safety risk," stated Apple on the company's website. "We have voluntarily decided to exchange every affected power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter, free of charge."
The adapters were sold with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models between October 2009 to September 2012.
The recall affects countries including France, Germany, Egypt, South Africa and Vietnam. The United States and United Kingdom are not affected by the recall.
Shares in Apple (AAPL, Tech30) were declining by about 1% Friday morning.

Apple has told customers that they will be able to see if they need to exchange their adapter if it says "Model A1300" on the base of the plug.
