VASIMR Rocket Could Send Humans To Mars In Just 39 Days

A new type of rocket that could send humans to Mars in less than six weeks instead of replica how much is a hermes handbag six months or longer may be one step closer to reality.

NASA has selected Texas based Ad Astra Rocket Company for a round of funding to help develop the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, or VASIMR. The new rocket uses plasma and magnets, not to lift spacecraft into orbit but to propel them further and faster replica hermes handbags once they've escaped the planet's atmosphere.

"It is a rocket like no other rocket that you might have seen in the past. It is a plasma rocket," Dr. Franklin Chang Daz, a former shuttle astronaut and CEO of Ad Astra said in a video describing the rocket. "The VASIMR engine is not used for launching things into space or landing them back but rather it is used for things already there. We call this 'in space propulsion.'"

While missions near Earth would be able to use solar energy to power the rocket, a mission to Mars would require something far more powerful most likely nuclear power, which the company has called "an ideal power source in space."

In ideal conditions, the rocket could propel a spacecraft to Mars in just 39 days.

So far, a non nuclear prototype has been able to fire for less than a minute at a time:

(Story continues below video.)

The NASA contract, worth about $10 million over three years, would fake hermes leather handbags go toward creating a prototype that could operate at high power for a minimum of 100 hours, the company said in a news release.

The project is being funded as part of the space agency's Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships program. The goal is for the prototype to reach a technology readiness level (TRL) greater than 5 on NASA's 9 level scale.

A level 5 is described by NASA as:"We are thrilled by this announcement and proud to be joining forces with NASA in the final steps of the technology maturation," Chang Diaz, who took part in seven shuttle missions, said in a news release. hermes bags replica "We look forward to a very successful partnership as we jointly advance the technology to flight readiness."

An image provided by the company shows a schematic view of the VASIMR:

Critics have called VASIMR unrealistic, with Mars Society president Robert Zubrin saying last year that to bring humans to Mars, the rocket would need "nuclear electric power systems with 10,000 times the power and 1/100th the mass per unit power as any that have ever been built."

Good News: It Looks Like There Was Liquid Water On Mars.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is currently on the Martian surface, resting on the slopes of a mountain called Mt Sharp. Scientists now think that the crater itself was not created by an impact, but by erosion following a past life as a vast lake. Data collected from NASA's Curiosity rover suggests Mount Sharp was shaped by sediments deposited in a lake over tens of millions of years.

Why is this significant? Because standing water existing for long periods on Mars is a key component in the search for life and now NASA happens to have a robot right in the middle of it. That's a big deal. Though it's not proof of life.

Vietnam 'napalm girl' Kim Phuc starts free course of laser treatment for her burns

In the photograph that made Kim Phuc a living symbol of the Vietnam War, her burns aren't visible only her agony as she runs wailing toward the camera, her arms flung away from her body, naked because she has ripped off her burning clothes.

More than 40 years later she can hide the scars beneath long sleeves, but a single tear down her otherwise radiant face betrays the pain she has endured since that errant napalm strike in 1972.

Reunited with photographer, Nick Ut the man who made her suffering the indelible image of the Vietnam War and helped turn the tide of public opinion in the United States she has traveled Hermes handbag knock off to America.

Now she has a new chance to heal a prospect she once thought possible only in a life after death.

Scroll down for video

Forty years ago Kim Phuc was photographed after being caught in a naplam strike by photographer Nick Ut (pictured with Kim). Ut won the Pulitzer prize for the image and helped Phuc

'So many years I thought that I have no more scars, no more pain when I'm in heaven. But now heaven on earth for me!' Phuc says upon her arrival in Miami to see a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for burn patients.

Late last month, Phuc, 52, began a series of laser treatments that her doctor, Jill Waibel of the Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute, says will Hermes Kelly bag copy smooth and soften the pale, thick scar tissue that ripples from her left hand up her arm, up her neck to her hairline and down almost all of her back.

Even more important to Phuc, Waibel says the treatments also will relieve the deep aches and pains that plague her to this day.

Kim Phuc, here in 1996, looks at a photo of herself holding her sleeping son, her back still bearing scars from the napalm burns, during a visit to the photography exhibit, 'Eyewitness 1996,' at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.

With Phuc are her husband, Bui Huy Toan, and another man who has been part of her life since she was 9 years old: Los Angeles based Associated Press photojournalist Nick Ut.

'He's the beginning and the end,' Phuc says of the man she calls 'Uncle Ut.''

'He took my picture and now he'll be here with me with this new journey, new chapter.'

It was Ut, now 65, who captured Phuc's agony on June 8, 1972, after the South Vietnamese military accidentally dropped napalm on civilians in Phuc's village, Trang Bang, outside Saigon.

Ut remembers the girl screaming in Vietnamese, 'Too hot! Too hot!'

He put her in the AP van where she crouched on the floor, her burnt skin raw and peeling off her body as she sobbed, 'I think I'm dying, too hot, too hot, I'm dying.'

He took her to a hospital. Only then did he return to the Saigon bureau to file his photographs, including the one of Phuc on fire that would win the Pulitzer Prize.

Phuc suffered serious burns over a third of her Hermes handbag imitation body; at that time, most people who sustained such injuries over 10 percent of their bodies died, Waibel says.

Napalm sticks like a jelly, so there was no way for victims like Phuc to outrun the heat, as they could in a regular fire. '

'The fire was stuck on her for a very long time,' Waibel says, and destroyed her skin down through the layer of collagen, leaving her with scars almost four times as thick as normal skin.

While she spent years doing painful exercises to preserve her range of motion, her left arm still doesn't extend as far as her right arm, and her desire to learn how to play the piano has been thwarted by stiffness in her left hand.

Tasks as simple as carrying her purse on her left side are too difficult.

'As a child, I loved to climb on the tree, like a monkey,' picking the best guavas, tossing them down to her friends, Phuc says. 'After I got burned, I never climbed on the tree anymore and I never played the game like before with my friends. It's really difficult. I was really, really disabled.'

Triggered by scarred nerve endings that misfire at random, her pain is especially acute when the seasons change in Canada, where Phuc defected with her husband in the early 1990s.

The couple live outside Toronto, and they have two sons, ages 21 and 18.

Phuc says her Christian faith brought her physical and emotional peace "in the midst of hatred, bitterness, pain, loss, hopelessness,' when the pain seemed insurmountable.

'No operation, no medication, no doctor can Hermes Kelly handbag copy help to heal my heart. The only one is a miracle, (that) God love me,' she says. 'I just wish one day I am free from pain.'

Ut thinks of Phuc as a daughter, and he worried when, during their regular phone calls, she described her pain.

When he travels now in Vietnam, he sees how the war lingers in hospitals there, in children born with defects attributed to Agent Orange and in others like Phuc, who were caught in napalm strikes. If their pain continues, he wonders, how much hope is there for Phuc?

Prudential Van Lines in Ridgefield

Our family hired Prudential van lines for an interstate move. The movers they sent were fantastic! I could swear the movers were Hermes bag knock off supermen in disguise. They picked up belongings effortlessly that I couldn't even slide on the carpet. They were all so kind and professional; I was pleasantly surprised that the movers weren't Hermes Birkin bag fake "rough" individuals. They were diligent about padding and wrapping our belongings so everything was protected and we had no damages. We found this moving company on an necklace Hermes imitaiton advertisement board and are very pleased with the experience we've had with these guys. Thank you for the moving help guys.

The total service rate of Prudential van lines was first class. They offered reasonable prices for us as I didn't have enough money to hire an expensive company but they gave me really good services. On the day, the movers were incredibly efficient and delightful throughout. They arrived on time and everything was carefully wrapped, packed and labeled. We noticed that the team leader of the company encouraged his coworkers to be careful Hermes Birkin bag imitation and fast and everybody followed him. They really did an amazing work.

Orlando nightclub shooting

A gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing at least 49 people and injuring dozens before being shot dead by police. What do we know about what happened?

How the incident unfoldedThe attack began at about 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT) on Sunday.

Pulse, which is one of the biggest nightclubs in Orlando, was holding a Latin themed event that was nearing its end when a man opened fire. There were more than 300 people inside at the time.

"He had an automatic rifle, so nobody stood a chance," said Jackie Smith, who saw two friends next to her get shot. "I just tried to get out of there."

At 02:09, the nightclub posted on its Facebook page: "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running."

The gunman, who was carrying an AR 15 type assault rifle and a handgun, exchanged fire near the entrance with a police officer who was working at the nightclub.

Additional officers arrived at the scene and a second gun battle ensued inside, forcing the gunman back. He took several people hostage in a bathroom at the back of the building, and told the police he had explosives.

At this Hermes Collier de Chien Bracelet replica point, police were able "to save and rescue dozens and dozens of people and get them out of the club," according to Orlando police chief John Mina.

With the gunman holed up in the bathroom, police secured the building and began preparing to breach the external wall of the bathroom with explosives.

FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper told reporters that Mateen had been interviewed by FBI officers twice in 2013 following inflammatory comments to colleagues asserting ties to the so called Islamic State group (IS).

The hermes bracelet sale replica investigation ended after officers were unable to substantiate the claims. However, Mateen was questioned again in 2014 about a potential connection to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, an American known to have carried out a suicide bombing in Syria.

Mateen's ex wife, Sitora Yusufiy, said that he was violent and mentally unstable and had beaten her repeatedly while they were together.

It appears that he remarried after that divorce, and had a three year old son with his second wife, according to the Miami Herald.

Who was Omar Mateen?

Investigators are looking at whether his second wife, Noor Zahi Salman, knew about the plot ahead of time, and are considering charges.

She told the FBI her husband said he was going to see friends, though she thought he was going to carry out an attack at the night club, officials have told the US media.

There are also media reports that she said she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster, and drove him to Pulse once to scope it out.

Media captionJim Van Horn, Pulse nightclub customer: "He (Omar Mateen) was a homosexual and he was trying to pick up men"

Mateen appears to have been a regular at the club and he contacted men on gay dating apps, raising the possibility that he was conflicted about being gay and lashed out.

What is internalised homophobia?

Was there an IS link?The group has said it was behind the attack, but the extent of its involvement is not clear.

An FBI spokesman said replica hermes mens bracelet Mateen phoned emergency services during the attack and pledged allegiance to IS.

The group had called for its supporters to launch attacks on the West during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, that began last week.

But US President Barack Obama Collier de Chien hermes bracelet copy said there was no evidence yet of any contact between the gunman and Islamic State.

He said it was an example of "homegrown extremism" and it appeared Mateen was inspired by content he saw online.

What have eyewitnesses said?

There were more than 300 people inside the club at the time of the shooting. Some have been speaking about what they witnessed.

Jon Alamo said he was at the back of one of the club's rooms when a man holding a weapon entered. "I heard 20, 40, 50 shots," he told the AFP news agency. "The music stopped."

Vancouver bar under fire for offering free wings to Oilers fans

Alannah Collier de Chien hermes bracelet replica McIntyre, The Pint operations manager, was surprised by the blowback.

With the Canucks missing the playoffs for the third time in four seasons, local bars have to get creative like appealing to different fanbases if they want to survive and thrive."It's a little disappointing because we do a lot of promotions and giveaways for Canucks fans, because at our heart we will always be a Canucks bar. You just hermes jewelry replica have to walk in and see the photos on the wall and it's quite clear we cheer for the Canucks," McIntyre said. "But at the end of the day, we are a sports bar and hockey is Canada's favourite sport. A lot of people want to back a Canadian team if we can't back the Canucks."

While The Pint tries to lure in Oilers fans with wings, the Black Frog, another Gastown bar, has no choice but to turn some away.

Kitchen manager Ryan Sherbank says unless you show up at least two hours early on Oilers game night, you will not get inside.

lineup outside goes all the way around the corner, he said.

The Black Frog, which is owned and operated by ex Edmontonians, has been an Oilers bar since it opened in 2005. hermes enamel bracelet Knockoff That was the season of Edmonton improbable and ultimately heartbreaking march to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final.

Stanley Cup run kept this place going that first year, said Sherbank, who hails from Sherwood Park, Alberta.

The Oilers fell to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 7 of the 2006 series and then went on to miss the playoffs 10 seasons in row, before finally thanks to young superstar Connor McDavid qualifying this year.

Black Frog has almost been like a safe haven for Oilers fans. When you are in here, it doesn hermes clic h bracelet replica feel like you are in Vancouver. It feels like you are backing watching the Oilers in Edmonton, Sherbank said. get Canucks fans come in here and it like they entered enemy territory in their hometown.

Van Gogh the Tweaker

For a long time, it's been something of a dirty secret, violating ideas about great artistic originality: Vincent van Gogh frequently made copies of his own work. Now, in an about face, what is seemingly the least original aspect of van Gogh's method is offering a close up glimpse into the strange, obsessive intensity of his creative process.

His curious practice of copying himself provides the impetus for a new exhibition, "Van Gogh Repetitions," which opens on Saturday at the Phillips Collection in Washington and then travels to Cleveland.

In the 19th century, when the academy ruled, making copies played a central role in professional art training. Students often worked for years carefully copying plaster casts of ancient sculptures before they were allowed to make an original painting. Some never went on to do anything else.

But during the 20th century, this practice fell into disrepute. It came to be viewed as anti artistic. At its most extreme, copying can easily drift into forgery, a criminal act. Because of this modern distaste for copying, van Gogh's replicas of his own work, which he called rptitions, have sometimes even been dismissed by overly vigilant scholars as fakes.

Continue reading the main story

The exhibition brings together 13 instances in which van Gogh made more than one version of a work and often hermes enamel bracelet replica multiple versions. In the show's catalog, a team of scholars and conservators, led by William Robinson and Eliza Rathbone, assemble and analyze documents that are clues to when van Gogh made a copy of what. Perhaps most significant, this team uses new technical evidence, such as X rays and high resolution digital imagery, firmly to resolve questions about the sequence of these works that have confounded scholars and fans of van Gogh until now.

An international group of van Gogh scholars Louis van Tilborgh, a curator at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam; Timothy J. Standring at the Denver Art Museum, hermes bracelet replica cheap curator of "Becoming van Gogh"; and Cornelia Homburg, a curator of "Van Gogh: Up Close" applaud this effort. They note that it increases our understanding of van Gogh and shows what authentic works possess that fakes lack. Mr. Standring said that the show invites viewers to "establish perhaps their own conclusions."

A specific pair of paintings by van Gogh one in Cleveland, the other in Washington inspired the exhibition. In May 1889, van Gogh made two very similar versions of the same painting: "The Large Plane Trees (Road Menders at Saint Rmy)," now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, and "The Road Menders," in the Phillips Collection. Despite their different titles, the paintings are virtually identical in their outlines so close that van Gogh may have traced one to paint the other.

Their existence has long been known; they were shown side by side at a van Gogh exhibition in Cleveland in 1948. But, partly because the whole process of making copies has been viewed as morally suspect, the exact relationship of the two works has never been studiously examined.

In addition, van Gogh made a number of little improvements in the second version, at the Phillips. "You can see he moved the street lamp to the left to make it stand out," Mr. Robinson said. "He added more lines to the tree. He even added an additional figure of a man digging on the far right."

Which of the two paintings is better? If you think copying is bad, then clearly the Cleveland version is better. Unfortunately, we don't have van Gogh's vote. But in other instances he often declared that he considered the replica the better painting, the more significant work of art.

In letters to his brother Theo, van Gogh frequently declared that he viewed the repetitions as an opportunity to improve and clarify his initial composition, since he was able to work more slowly and carefully than when painting outdoors with gawking bystanders and shifting light. In many of his copies (as illustrated in this exhibition), van Gogh's brush work is smoother, more careful and more deliberate than in the first version. As he explained to Theo, he could transform a painting from a direct transcription of a scene into a true work of the imagination.

Closely examining the two versions of the road mending scene inch by inch can be tiring, but that's a small challenge compared with sorting out what van Gogh was up to when he made three versions of his bedroom at Arles, and six paintings and three drawings of the postman Joseph Roulin.

What's surprising is how different the six postman paintings appear when side by side. In one, the eyebrows are bushy; in another they are a wiggly horizontal line. Sometimes we hermes replica bracelet see the left ear, sometimes we don't. We start to read in personality traits: Some of the postmen stare us down, and others look distracted or self absorbed or possibly even hermes bangle replica slightly crazed.

"In the case of 'The Road Menders' and 'The Large Plane Trees,'" Mr. Robinson said, "it's easy to tell which came first. But in the case of the nine postmen, the variables are so large that art historians are still arguing the point."

"By the time he got to the later versions of the group," he said, "van Gogh wasn't working from a single model, but was drawing from three or four earlier versions and combining them in new ways."

The nine postmen are not so much repetitions, then, but variations on an idea, not unlike the way a composer like Bach created successive variations on a theme in music. In a seeming paradox, van Gogh was never more inventive than when copying himself.

Vancouver hermes clic clac bracelet replica Island parrot refuge set to close Aug

COOMBS Hundreds of parrots living at a Vancouver Island sanctuary need new homes as an Aug. 1 deadline approaches for the closure of the World Parrot Refuge.

Between 450 and 500 parrots, including macaws, cockatoos, lovebirds and conures, are up for adoption, following the death last February of refuge founder Wendy Huntbatch.

At one point she had more than 800 parrots at the refuge, which includes 2,100 square metres of heated indoor free flight avaries and about 1,500 square metres of outdoor flight area.

The refuge was open to the public.

An obituary posted on the refuge website by her son Justin Huntbatch says his mother replica hermes bracelet devoted last 25 years of her life to the health and welfare of ex breeder and ex pet parrots. goal was to educate people why parrots should not be pets, to stop the trafficking and importing of parrots into Canada and to provide a home for life for those parrots that were here already. The refuge which is home to some 400 to 500 exotic birds who have been rescued mostly from Vancouver Island and parts of British Columbia is slated to close in August due to lack of funds to keep it running.

Spate said parrots can be difficult pets, which is why many of those living at the refuge were given up for adoption. Some can live to be 75 years old.

take a lot of work and they often outlive their owners, he said. need a lot of attention and when they don get enough attention they do get into trouble. Stories of people getting their kitchen ruined or base boards ripped off are not uncommon. are loud, he said. Their squawks and screeches are louder than barking dogs, said Spate. They also talk, often knock off hermes bracelet mimicking the words of their owners.

also get bit quite a bit, he said. definitely get put through the ringer. But once you get to know the birds and they get to know you, they are actually great animals who are very intelligent and very personable. refuge is contacting the previous owners of the refuge adopted parrots and asking if they want them back.

The city council in nearby Nanaimo has agreed to a short term lease of a former Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Shelter to give some of the parrots a temporary home, Spate said.

He said he expects to find homes and shelter for all the parrots.

Van Persie strikes as United edge Fulham 3

The shade of the shirt may have changed but Robin van Persie remains a red hot Dutch master after marking his first Manchester United hermes H bag replica start with a goal in a 3 2 Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday.

Having swapped the crimson of Arsenal for the red checks of United's new home jersey, the 24 million pound ($38 million) man dug United out of an early hole by firing in a trademark volley on 10 minutes to cancel out Damien Duff's well worked opener.

Japan's Shinji Kagawa also scored on his home debut, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder tapping in after Mark Schwarzer had spilled Tom Cleverley's shot.

Right back Rafael soon had the ball in the net again but was foiled by the offside flag only to head in the third with a rare goal on 41 minutes, the home side's rapid comeback witnessed by speed king and big United fan Usain Bolt.

Fulham pulled one back in the second half through a bizarre Nemanja Vidic own goal to prompt a very nervy finish for cavalier United, who had Wayne Rooney carried off on a stretcher with a nasty wound.

Van Persie was a substitute for United's opening 1 0 loss at Everton last Monday but this time it was the turn of expected strike partner Rooney to surprisingly start on the bench just two games into the season.

Everton built on Monday's win with a 3 1 romp at Aston Villa and another headed goal from Marouane Fellaini, although Villa goalkeeper Shay Given should have done better.

South Africa's Steven Pienaar had given the flying Liverpool side an early lead with a rocket from distance and Nikica Jelavic added to Fellaini's second to put pressure on new Villa boss Paul Lambert after an opening loss to West Ham United.

Rampant Swansea City also made it two wins out of two to lead the fledgling table after promoted West Ham gifted them two goals in a 3 0 victory to follow up their 5 0 opener against Queens Park Rangers.

Michael Laudrup's side went ahead on 20 minutes when Angel Rangel's cross deflected in off the body of new West Ham goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and it was 2 0 soon after when Michu slotted in after an awful James Collins back pass.

Forward Danny Graham knocked in the third after the break while West Ham debutant Matt Jarvis, signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, had their best chance with a volley.

Asked if he was surprised by his new team's success, Dane Laudrup told Sky Sports: "Yes of course, I mean two games, six points, clean sheet, that's fantastic."

QPR recovered slightly from Swansea's mauling to draw 1 1 at Norwich, hermes Constance bag blue replica also thumped 5 0 by Fulham first up, while Sunderland's game with promoted Reading was postponed before kickoff because of a waterlogged pitch.

Tottenham Hotspur, beaten at Newcastle United in coach Andre Villas Boas's debut last week, were held 1 1 by a West Bromwich Albion side that fought hard following an opening hermes Constance bag replica win over Liverpool and scored a late leveller through James Morrison.

Promoted Southampton lost again after a 2 0 home defeat by Wigan Athletic as the visitors showed they could do without winger Victor Moses, who signed for Chelsea on Friday and will watch his new side host Newcastle later (1630 GMT).

The European champions have already won their first two matches of the campaign so will go top with at least a point.

Title holders Manchester City travel to Liverpool on Sunday (1500) after Arsenal play at bogey side Stoke City (1230).
