NASA to Send Tiny Helicopter to Mars  NASA is planning to send a tiny autonomous helicopter to Mars on its next rover mission to the red planet. The space agency announced Friday that the helicopter will be carried aboard the Mars 2020 rover as a technology demonstration to test its ability to serve as a scout and to reach locations not accessible by ground. The helicopter is being developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The craft weighs less than 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms), has a fuselage about the size of a softball and twin, counter-rotating blades that will spin at almost 3,000 rpm — a necessity in the thin Martian atmosphere. Solar cells will charge its lithium-ion batteries. Flights will be programmed because the distance to Mars precludes real-time commands from Earth.

Transatlantic Commission to Focus on Election Meddling

Transatlantic Commission to Focus on Election Meddling An international commission has formed to try to end meddling in elections in Western democratic nations by Russia and other autocratic countries. The Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity (TCEI), co-chaired by former NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, held a news conference Friday in Washington, D.C. The commission's "background is the Russian meddling into the U.S. election in 2016," Rasmussen told VOA's Russian service. "But it's not just about America. It's also on the European side. 'Challenges' in Europe "We [Europe] have seen challenges, and this is the reason why it's a transatlantic commission," he said, adding that there are more than 20 elections scheduled in Western democratic countries before the 2020 U.S. presidential election. "I consider it a matter of urgency to counter Russia's and other autocrats' interference with our democratic institutions, because their aim is to weaken the world's democracies and we cannot allow that to happen," Rasmussen said. The U.S. intelligence community more than a year ago concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally directed a 2016 campaign to undermine U.S. democracy and help Donald Trump defeat his challenger, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Russia and the Trump campaign have denied the allegations. But Rasmussen stressed that Putin has a global reach, which is another reason for a transatlantic body. "Of course Russia is in particular interested in destabilizing the democracies in Europe," he said, adding they use a "wide range of instruments" to sew discord. "It's not just about cybersecurity. It's not just about so-called fake news. It's much more sophisticated," Rasmussen said. "It's also about transfer of money to movements and political parties in Europe. It's to stir up dissatisfaction and populism and nationalism in many countries. We have seen that all over Europe." Chertoff, who served during the George W. Bush administration, told VOA, "I think if you go back even seven, eight years, you can see the Russians becoming active in Eastern and Central Europe to try to influence the outcome of elections. Some of it was online, some of it involved contributing money. For example, Marie Le Pen [president of France's National Front] got a loan from the Russians to keep her party afloat. "Some involved using business investors as a wedge to get into a country, and to begin to develop attitudes that were pro-Russian," he added. "But I want to be clear, it's [election meddling] not limited to Russia," Chertoff said. "We've seen the president of Turkey, President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, take some steps to try to influence the activities of Turks overseas and to try to have some effect on the democratic process in other countries." A press release by the commission said the group would fill a void in transatlantic coordination regarding election meddling. The commission "will look into the level of risk exposure across Western countries and ask how technology can address the problem," the statement said. As part of their recently announced Defending Democracy Program, Microsoft is partnering with TCEI to provide funding and technical expertise. The commission, which includes political, business and media leaders, will hold its first meeting June 21-22 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Russia engagement Trump has often tweeted at critics of his continued outreach to Russia, but Chertoff said he thought the U.S. should maintain open communications. "Even in the height of the Cold War, we had to have communication with what were then Soviets," he said. "But I also think we need to take a very firm and strong line against the misbehavior by the Russians or anybody else, whether it's military misbehavior or information operations. "And part of the solution has to be a set of responses that is vigorous and measured in order to deter and push back against these illicit efforts," Chertoff said. Of past efforts by Moscow, Rasmussen said he considered Ukraine to be "ground zero when it comes to Russian meddling in elections." He said the commission would focus on the 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine. "We expect Russia to meddle in those elections." "I think as regards [the] Donbass [region], and Eastern Ukraine, we should deploy a peacekeeping force with a robust mandate toward a controlled ... border between Ukraine and Russia as an efficient instrument to achieve peace," Rasmussen said. "They want to keep the government in Kyiv weak; they want to continue to destabilize the situation in Eastern Ukraine, in Donbass." The 14 members of the commission include former Vice President Joe Biden, former Mexico President Felipe Calderon, former U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, and Tanit Koch, editor in chief of Bild newspaper. Rafael Saakov of VOA's Russian Service contributed to this report.

Gram (cryptocurrency)

Александр Мотин: added Category:Cryptocurrencies using HotCat



'''Gram''' is a cryptocurrency based on [[Telegram Open Network]] blockchain and being developed by [[Telegram (service)|Telegram]].
== History ==
Before launching its own cryptocurrency called Gram, Telegram in order to attract investments to develop TON held two rounds of [[Initial coin offering|ICO]]. Tokens sold to investors will later be exchanged for Grams in a ratio of 1 to 1.
In February 2018, during the first round of the ICO 2.25 billion tokens (45% of the total number of future Grams) were sold at a price of $0.38 per token. The minimum amount of investment to participate in this round was $20 million. Then the second round of token offering began. During the first part of this offering, the price of one token was $1.33. The minimum investment amount for participation in this round was $1 million, taking into account the volume of placement, it can be calculated that 640 million tokens were sold during this placement. That is, during the last two placements 2.89 billion tokens were sold (58% of the total number of future Grams). Next to be the final part of the second token offering. Thus, Telegram intends to attract in the near future another $850 million, and in total Telegram expects to gain $2.55 billion from ICO.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2EdwUFp При каких условиях Telegram вернет инвесторам собранные $2,55 миллиарда]</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2pibYZs Is Telegram's ICO Overvalued?

Ymblanter: sp


'''Marie-Thérèse Joniaux '''(born '''Maria Teresa Joséphe Ablaÿ '''on October 15, 1844 in [[Mechelen]] - died 1923 in [[Antwerp]]) was a [[Belgian]] poisoner who made headlines in 1894-1895 as part of the Joniaux Affair after the triple poisoning perpetrated against her sister, Léonie Ablaÿ, her uncle-by-marriage, Jacques Van de Kerkhove and her brother, Alfred Ablaÿ. She was [[sentenced to death]] on February 3, 1895.<ref name="Ryckère">Raymond de Ryckère, ''L'affaire Joniaux, triple empoisonnement'' - acte d'accusation, rapport des médecins-experts et chimistes : MM. de Visscher, de Baisieux, Van Vyve, G.

Storck, Lyon, 1895, [https://ift.tt/2Ic6mv0 consultable en ligne sur la BNF].</ref> Her death sentenced was commuted to [[life imprisonment]], and she died in Antwerp in 1923.
[[Category:Age error]]

== Biographical elements ==
Ablaÿ was born in Mechelen on October 15, 1844. She came from a family from [[Mons]] that had many high-ranking soldiers from the early 19th century. Her father, Jules-Gustave Ablaÿ, did not follow the family tradition and became Lieutenant-General and the King's [[aide-de-camp]]. Her uncles Omer and Narcisse were also generals in the fledgling Belgian army. Her mother, Thérèse de Ryckman de Betz gave birth to six children. She is said to have been her father's favourite child, as she was the eldest, and "''with the liveliest intelligence".''
[[Category:Age error]]

=== Marriages ===
At the age of 24, she finally decided to marry and on July 10, 1869, she married Frédéric Faber, a well-known [[bibliophile]] on the Belgian square, who was often lost in his research and publishing his opuscules. On February 3, 1871, a child was born from this union - Jeanne Faber. The couple did not get along, as Frédéric, an intellectual, took care of his research, and she devoted considerable energy to maintain standing befitting of her rank. Frédéric Faber died on December 4, 1884 in circumstances that were considered suspicious. Having respected the period of widowhood as prescribed, she married a second time to Henri Joniaux. He was the widower of Ida Dumon, with whom he had three children - Marguerite, Marthe and Charles. He was a Chief Engineer and First Class Director at the Bridges.

=== The spiral of indebtedness ===
The couple did not take long to settle in a lush hotel, at 33 Nerviens Street in Antwerp. Her first marriaged left Joniaux with many mortgage and unsecured debts. Real estate sales wiped out the first, but Ablaÿ still owed part of the second. Their daughter, Jeanne, although still a minor inherited a comfortable amount from her father, which would also be stolen by her mother.
[[File:Lettre_de_Marie_Thérèse_Joniaux-Ablay_-_5_février_1895.jpg|left|thumb|527x527px|Le elle adresse un courrier au journal l'''Étoile belge'' par l'entremise de son avocat.]]
Coming from a wealthy family, Ablaÿ had no intention to live a modest life. She tried to find money in a legal, but then turned to illegal means. Flamboyantly, she cheated on her husband in [[Brussels]] and [[Spa, Belgium|Spa]], but denied it fiercely. She resorted to a [[mount of piety]] and sometimes for derisory amounts (75 Belgian francs in May 12, 2018).<ref group="Notes">Une employée gagne alors 2300 francs belges par an</ref> She locked herself in a spiral of indebtness. On May 11, 1888, she obtained a loan from her mother-in-law of 30,000 Belgian francs as the result of one of her missives, as she wrote thousands, imploring her, saying that "we will have a catastrophe if you can not do anything", implying her son, from disappointment, will put an end to his days. The assets of her daughter, Jeanne Faber, came in guarantee and the act is passed on May 29, 1888. On June 1, 1888, she was at a pawnshop to deposit silver for a fee of 140 Belgian francs. On August 31, 1888, a watch and a pin of her husband expired a year earlier; she is unable to redeem them and had to renew her commitment. The 30,000 Belgian francs were repaid the most virulent creditors. However, the persuasive Ablaÿ knew how to extract money from her family and acquaintances. She began to plan her ploys. There was one that she was particularly fond of at this time: she had to pay off a debt contracted by a family member to spare the family honor. In early 1890, she embarked on another lucrative activity: she became a master singer and sent anonymous letters threatening to stigmatize those who did not comply with her financial requirements. She tried to blackmail her brother-in-law's son, Lionel, who was found dead on the edge of a pond in Lubbeek, on October 26, 1890.
[[File:G._Flasschoen_-_12_janvier_1895_-_L'Illustration.jpg|right|thumb|325x325px|Marie Thérèse-Joniaux during her trial in January 1895 published in [[l'Illustration]] of January 12, 1895]]

=== The point of no return ===
In January 1892, her daughter, Jeanne Faber married to Oswald Mertens. Marie-Thérèse Joniaux could not imagine a marriage without luxury. Her financial situation was burdened, and she saw no way out. She made a life insurance policy on her sister, Léonie, for an amount of 70,000 Belgian francs from two insurance companies. She pretended it to be a financial operation and did not give any details. Léonie, attracted by the the preparations of Jeanne's nuptials, moved to live with her sister in Antwerp. Her health began to decline, and doctors assumed she was suffering from [[typhus]]. The first doctor was called at 2:00 AM on February 24, 1892. Insurers executed and closed the insurance in March and in April 1892. Marie-Thérèse Joniaux then went on holiday in [[Monaco]] and [[Italy]]. She settled some debts but in October/November, she was again at a financial loss.

That's when the second death in the Joniaux family occured. That is when the uncle, Jacques Van de Kerkhove, then 64, came to take part in a family dinner. After eating his meal, he said he felt ill, went to his bed and died the next day around 11 AM. Doctors speculated that he had [[cerebral apoplexy]]. Her husband inherited the money, but Marie-Thérèse needed the fresh money and directly accessible. She then proposed to her son-in-law to offer her the possibility of taking out a loan of 25,000 Belgian francs by agreeing to put her buildings in the guarantee. For the price of all the trouble, he would receive a brokerage of 5,000 Belgian francs. It was short-lived and in June 1893 she was again at bay.

In June 1893, she engaged in a new type of transaction, demonstrating the compelling nature of finding money. She bought a credit for 900 Belgian francs of silverware from a jeweler to hasten, immediately putting a nail to the mount of piety. She reiterated that tactic with two other jewelers in January and in February 1894. The instruction understood the underlying gestures.

On February 4, 1894, her brother, a former cavalry captain, was forced to resign due to financial misfortune. A widower since 1871, he settled in [[Paris]] where he had a relationship with a mistress, Marie Roguet, was attracted to Antwerp by his sister. He had just lost his job in Paris and planned to beg for an alimony from his son, Georges. Alfred was jobless in Paris until he found a job as a bookkeeper. He also benefitted from a small suplementary penision paid by his mother-in-law, Madame Meskens. He lost his job, and called his sister who said that she wanted to help him. She offered to pay him an annuity in exchange for an insurance on his life worth 100,000 Belgian francs, of which she would be the beneficiary. He contacted a company in Paris but the conditions did not satisfy Marie-Thérèse, because of the high monthly payments. He arrived in Belgium, and his sister took things in her hands, contacting a London company named Gresham who had a seat in Antwerp. On February 17, 1894, the policy was underwritten and the first quarterly bonus was paid by Joniaux. She explained to the insurers that this is to cover important advances that she made to her brother and that she wanted to benefit her children. Alfred Ablay died at his home on the night of March 5 or 6, 1894.

=== The Joniaux Affair ===
[[File:L'illustration_-_12_janvier_1895.jpg|thumb]]
Dr. Willems, deceived by the words of Marie-Thérèse Joniaux from a previous consultation in Brussels with a colleague, concluded that a heart problem was the reason for the death. The company Gresham was not convinced and immediately filed a complaint with the public prosecutor in Antwerp, triggering the Joniaux affair. Marie-Thérèse Joniaux was arrested on April 17, 1894. The trial, led by Eugène Hayoit de Termicourt, lasted nine months. The trial took place on January 7 and February 3, 1895. 296 witnesses were heard. Marie-Thérèse Joniaux was sentenced to death and transferred from the prison of Antwerp to that of Mons where she arrived on June 6, 1895 to serve his sentence, which was commuted to life imprisonment.

She tried to appeal her sentence but it was rejected. She was written a memoir for this. Marie-Thérèse Joniaux died in Antwerp in 1923, at the age of 79.

Kelly: Protected Immigrants Need Path to Citizenship

Kelly: Protected Immigrants Need Path to Citizenship Immigrants from Honduras, Haiti, El Salvador and other countries who were given protected status to live in the United States should have a path to citizenship, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly told National Public Radio on Friday. Kelly said many of those with temporary protected status, or TPS, resulting from natural disasters or conflict have lived in the United States for decades, and that Congress should act. "We should fold all of the TPS people that have been here for a considerable period of time and find a way for them to be on a path to citizenship," Kelly, one of President Donald Trump's top aides, said in an interview. The Trump administration, under U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, has moved to revoke this special status and to expel tens of thousands of protected immigrants. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security said it would end protections for 57,000 Hondurans in January 2020, leaving them vulnerable to deportation. Around 200,000 Salvadorans, 59,000 Haitians and 5,300 Nicaraguans will lose their status in 2019. Protections have also ended for 9,000 Nepalese immigrants and certain immigrants from Liberia. Trump has pursued his crackdown on legal and illegal immigration since becoming president, promising to strengthen the nation's borders and to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Critics, citing the nation's history of immigration, say Trump's policies are hostile to vulnerable people who work in the fast food, hospitality, child care and agriculture sectors, often for low wages. Some U.S. lawmakers want immigration legislation before the November midterm election after previous bipartisan efforts failed. Their plan, however, is aimed at so-called "Dreamers," immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children, and border security issues. Kelly said that while most illegal immigrants "are not bad people ... they're also not people that would easily assimilate" into modern American society. "They're overwhelmingly rural people," he told NPR. "They don't speak English ... They don't integrate well. They don't have skills." Questions were raised about Nielsen's tenure after the New York Times reported that she had considered resigning after Trump criticized her at a meeting on Wednesday for what he said was her failure to secure U.S. borders. A DHS spokesman denied the story. Fox News Channel, however, quoted Kelly as saying in an interview on Friday that he called Nielsen after the meeting urging her not to quit.

Biopic of Brazil Evangelical Bishop Breaks Box Office Record

Biopic of Brazil Evangelical Bishop Breaks Box Office Record A biopic about the man who founded one of Brazil's largest evangelical churches has sold more tickets than any other film in recent memory in the South American country. But some have accused the church of cooking the books. The film tells the story of Bishop Edir Macedo, who founded the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in the 1970s. Macedo is a powerful and controversial figure in Brazil who owns a media empire and has been dogged by accusations of malfeasance — allegations that the film portrays as a plot by the Catholic Church and Brazilian establishment to limit his power. A company that measures media penetration, comScore, says the film "Nada a Perder" — "Nothing to Lose" — sold more than 11.7 million tickets between its release March 29 and Thursday. That makes the film, which is being released Friday in the United States, the most attended since 2002, the first year for which comScore has Brazilian box office data. The next closest film, a 2016 movie about the life of Moses, sold more than 11.3 million tickets. Blockbuster sales but empty seats But the Brazilian press has accused the church of inflating sales by buying up tickets. The Folha de S.Paulo newspaper sent reporters to movie theaters during the film's opening weekend and said the screening rooms weren't full, despite the blockbuster ticket sales. The church denies that and, in turn, accused the Brazilian media of disseminating "fake news" to damage its reputation. "The Universal (church) never bought tickets for the film 'Nada a Perder,'" the church said in a statement to The Associated Press. "That said, part of the success of the film, and therein lies the hatred of some segments of the press, comes from the initiative of volunteers from Universal and other denominations and religions, who have organized so that the largest number of people possible can see the film." It added that other religions do exactly the same thing: recommending to their followers things they believe in. The film, which was produced by Paris Entretenimento, is based on Macedo's life and ends with a recorded message from the man himself. The church says it was not involved in the film's production, though it has vigorously promoted it on its website as has Macedo's Record TV network. Another part of Macedo's media empire, Record Filmes, has helped to screen the film in prisons and for remote communities, including indigenous groups. A sequel is planned. The second most-attended film since comScore started keeping track is "Os Dez Mandamentos," which Record Filmes produced. The third film is "Tropa de Elite 2," the sequel to a popular Brazilian film about gang violence and police corruption in Rio de Janeiro. But comScore data shows that "Nada a Perder" may not reign for long: "Avengers: Infinity War," which opened April 26 in Brazil, has more than 10.4 million ticket sales so far. Luis Fernando Rodrigues was among five people who saw "Nada a Perder" at a movie theater in Sao Paulo on Thursday afternoon. "This film is part of a holy war" over the image of Macedo and his church, said the 57-year-old architect. Even the debate over how many people saw the film is part of that battle, he said. Gesturing at the empty theater, he added: "We don't know if it's because of the time of day or if it's a manipulation." Controversy has long surrounded Macedo, a colorful character who has won both adoration and notoriety for taking on two of Brazil's most entrenched institutions: the Catholic church and the Globo media empire. Brazil is the world's most populous Catholic country, but evangelicals are on the rise: They account for 1 in 5 people, up from 1 in 20 a few decades ago, and evangelical lawmakers make up a powerful voting bloc in Congress. Macedo's Universal church has been one of the motors of the group's growth. ​Fervent followers Macedo was raised a Catholic, but the movie shows him searching for spiritual meaning elsewhere. In the film, his family experiments with traditional healers to cure his sister's asthma and finally joins an evangelical church. But he ends up rejecting that church as too elitist and finally founds his own. Over the years, he and his preachers have drawn the ire of Catholics for railing against their "idolatry" of saints and calling the pope the Antichrist. But they have also drawn fervent followers, who have turned the Universal church into a powerful player in Brazilian politics and culture. Macedo's nephew and a bishop in the church, Marcelo Crivella, was elected mayor of Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and the Universal church says it has 9 million followers in 110 countries, 7 million of whom are in Brazil. Macedo himself has been dogged by accusations of financial crimes and exploiting his followers. He was briefly jailed in 1990s amid accusations of extortion, tax evasion and fraud, an episode portrayed in the film as proof of the power of his message and the great lengths that the Brazilian establishment will go to silence it. In 2011, federal prosecutors accused Macedo of false representation, larceny by fraud, money laundering and forming a criminal association. A judge rejected some of those charges, and the statute of limitations expired for others. According to the Sao Paulo Federal Justice system, the money-laundering charge is still pending. In a statement, the church said Macedo was the victim of "judicial persecution" and that it was sure that he would be found innocent in the remaining case.

Trump’s Poll Numbers Rising; North Korea Developments Could Help

【Move to another page】

Trump's Poll Numbers Rising; North Korea Developments Could Help It was a made-for-TV moment that all presidents would relish, but it seemed especially significant for the man who turned a reality TV career into a successful bid for the presidency. Donald Trump triumphantly greeted the three Americans released by North Korea in the early morning darkness at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington early Thursday, an image one can expect to see over and over again come the 2020 U.S. presidential election campaign. "It was a very important thing to all of us to be able to get these three great people out," Trump told reporters on the tarmac. He then went on to speculate that live television coverage of the arrival "probably broke the all-time in history television rating for 3 o'clock in the morning."   WATCH: Trump greets hostages released by North Korea ​Shifting focus It was a moment the president gladly seized given that his White House has been buffeted by a chaotic mix of policy and personal drama in recent days. The prospect of a potentially historic breakthrough on North Korea could move a number of other unwelcome distractions to the side, including the ongoing Russia investigation, the growing legal difficulties for Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and the soap opera that the Stormy Daniels story has become. Daniels is the adult film actress who claims she once had an affair with Trump. He denies the claim. Trump also announced Thursday on Twitter that he will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore. A new CNN poll found that 77 percent of those surveyed support Trump meeting the North Korean leader, and 53 percent approve of his handling of the North Korea issue generally. Those numbers are in keeping with a general trend of late that has seen the president's poll ratings improving, perhaps in part because of the strong economy. The president's average approval rating at the moment is around 42 percent, up from the 39 to 40 percent ratings he was getting for months. That may not sound like much of an improvement, but given that Trump has been mired in the weakest poll ratings of any first-term president since World War II, it will be seen as good news by his supporters. Polarized politics Even with the slight improvement, though, many analysts say Trump remains a polarizing figure. "I think for both sides, people who like Donald Trump and who don't like Donald Trump, positions have hardened," said John Fortier of the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. "And it is interesting to see that his approval ratings have not changed dramatically in the last several months even though it seems like a lot has happened." That includes this week's decision by the president to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal, fulfilling yet another campaign pledge from 2016. Trump condemned the deal as "defective at its core." Many Democrats disagreed with the president's action, including Maryland Senator Ben Cardin. "Withdrawing from the nuclear agreement isolates America, and I think it helps Iran and it works against our objectives to control their type of activities," Cardin told reporters. Seeking credit Trump has long complained that he gets little credit for the strong U.S. economy, and he frequently has lashed out at the news media for what he sees as its preoccupation with the Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller. "So we have the best employment numbers we have virtually ever had. And yet, all we hear about is this phony Russia witch hunt. That is all we hear about," Trump told an enthusiastic audience of National Rifle Association members recently in Dallas, Texas. In many surveys, Trump retains the support of 80 to 90 percent of Republican voters, a likely dividend of his relentless efforts to cater to his political base and remind them of campaign promises kept. Trump often reminds voters about the partisan stakes in this November's midterm elections and warns about the prospect of a Democratic takeover of Congress. "The more partisan you are, the more likely you are to be loyally behind Trump and the more likely you are to think that the Democratic Party is posing a threat for America, and consequently when you feel that, then virtually any means are necessary to combat that threat," said Henry Olsen with the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington. Democratic catalyst But Brookings Institution expert Bill Galston argued that even with the president's slight improvement in the polls, Trump remains a catalyst for opposition Democrats. "President Trump's job approval remains near historic lows for a first-term president and there are signs that Democrats at the grass roots are highly mobilized and record numbers are showing up and presenting themselves as candidates for office." Trump hopes to keep the focus on the domestic economy and North Korea, and away from the Russia probe, the legal problems facing his personal attorney Michael Cohen, and the legal battle over his alleged affair with Daniels. The president is well aware that any good news credit he can accrue between now and November could help Republicans resist what is expected to be a fierce Democratic campaign in the midterm elections in which control of both the House and Senate is very much in doubt.

Uber, US Army To Test Quiet Aircraft Technology

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2I02rkZ
Uber, US Army To Test Quiet Aircraft Technology Uber Technologies said Tuesday that it would work with the U.S. Army to advance research on a novel, quiet aircraft rotor technology that could be used in future flying cars, or military aircraft. The alliance highlights stepped-up efforts by Uber and other companies to transform flying cars from a science fiction concept to real hardware for residents of mega-cities where driving is a time-consuming bore. Uber and the Army's Research, Development and Engineering command said in a statement that they expected to spend $1 million to develop and test prototypes for a rotor system that would be used on a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. The system would have two rotors, one stacked atop the other, moving in the same direction under the command of sophisticated software. This approach, which Uber and the Army said had not been deployed in a production aircraft, could lead to quieter operation than conventional stacked rotor systems. "Achieving ultra-low noise is one of the critical obstacles" to deploying aerial taxis in urban areas, Rob McDonald, head of vehicle engineering for Uber Elevate, the company's flying car operation, said in an interview. The Army wants to develop a new generation of unmanned drones that do not need runways and are quieter than current drones, said Dr. Jaret Riddick, director of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Vehicle Technology Directorate. The Army is increasingly turning to partnerships with private companies to research advanced technology, Riddick said in an interview. Uber is planning more alliances with government agencies as it aims to launch prototype airborne taxis by 2020, Mark Moore, Uber's director of engineering and aircraft systems and a former NASA researcher, said in an interview. Uber already has a partnership with NASA, the U.S. government space agency, to develop software for managing large numbers of aircraft over cities, Moore said. Uber is one of several companies, including aircraft makers Boeing and Airbus SE and a venture backed by Alphabet co-founder Larry Page, that are investing in the concept of small, automated and electrified aircraft that could be used to ferry passengers or cargo across congested cities. Uber said it would develop its low-noise rotor system in collaboration with Launchpoint Technologies Inc., a Goleta, California, engineering company focused on electric and hybrid aircraft technologies. Uber will hold a conference on flying vehicles this week in Los Angeles.

In 1989, she also had a guest role in an episode of the television series ''[[Booker (TV series)|Booker]]''.

==''Mom's the Word''==
In the early 1990s, Daum joined with Linda Carson, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams to write and stage the collective play ''Mom's the Word'', a "kitchen table cabaret" about motherhood.<ref name=spread/> The show premiered at Vancouver's Women in View Festival in 1994 before going into wider production in 1995.<ref name=spread/> The play won two [[Jessie Richardson Theatre Award]]s in 1995, for outstanding original play or musical, and collective creation and performance.<ref>"Mom's the winner: From therapy to theatre to outstanding original play honors".

''[[The Province]]'', September 24, 2009.</ref>

''Mom's the Word 3: Nest Half Empty'', a new show about how motherhood changes further as children become young adults and move out on their own, premiered in 2017.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2I22Tz4 "Favourite moms' word poignant as quintet back with new chapter of life stories"].

Sophia Thomalla is the daughter of the  actors [[Simone Thomalla]] and André Vetters. She grew up in Berlin until she was seven and moved to [[Cologne]] with her mother. After completing her fourth year of school, she and her mother moved to [[Kleinmachnow]], a suburb of Berlin, then after one year to [[Gelsenkirchen]], where she also lived after the separation of her mother from[[ Rudi Assauer]]. Like her mother, Thomalla ran Kickboxing as a recreational sport. In her youth she played in some amateur fights.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2I2GwtH ''„Bei mir gibt es kein Mittelmaß".''] In: ''freundin'', 13. Dezember 2011, abgerufen am 31. Oktober 2016.</ref>

In the autumn of 2009, she moved to Berlin for professional reasons and in October 2010 she moved to [[Potsdam]]. Thomalla was dating April 2011 to November 2015 with the [[Rammstein]] singer [[Till Lindemann]]. On 11 March 2016, she married Norwegian singer [[Andy LaPlegua]] in [[Marietta, Georgia]]. In May 2017, she announced a divorce from LaPlegua.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2qZRbbl ''"Jetzt läuft die Scheidung, und alles ist gut"''] spiegel.de, 11. Mai 2017</ref>

== Career ==
From 2007 to 2009, she attended the Constantin School for Acting, Dance and Singing in [[Bochum]]. In 2006, she played her first television role as the daughter of [[Barbara Rudnik]] and [[Henry Hübchen]] with television director [[Sigi Rothemund]] in the [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] crime series ''[[Commissario Laurenti]].''

In 2009 she applied for an open casting for the top model casting show ''[[Germany's Next Top Model]];'' she retired in the first round. In 2009 and 2010, she was in the [[Sat.1]] Daily Soap ''One Like No'' ''other'' with Chris Putzer.
