Sikorsky S-97 Raider concept
The Sikorsky-Boeing JMR TD proposal, like the X2 demonstrator before it, features the uncommon design elements of twinned, coaxial, counter-rotating main rotors on top and a push propeller at the tail. The goal is for the Sikorsky-Boeing aircraft to have a cruising speed of a very brisk 230 knots.
That X2 design also underlies Sikorsky’s own planned S-97 Raider (depicted here), the first prototype of which as of late September was just going into final assembly. That prototype — eventually there will be two of them — will be 36 feet long and will weigh 11,000 pounds (versus 6,000 pounds for the X2 demonstrator). Sikorsky said it is eyeing 2015 to begin demonstrating the S-27 Raider’s capabilities, including cruise speeds up to 220 knots and “dash speeds” of 240 knots or better, to potential customers, including the U.S. military.

Sikorsky-Boeing team thinks X2
Cue up Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” — the next wave of helicopter designs are on their way.

But don’t hit play just yet. For the most part, those futuristic choppers are still months and years away from anything but the drawing board. Still, the Pentagon’s plans are being set in motion, and now’s as good a time as any to do some gazing at the far horizon.
There are several different projects we’ll be looking at in this slideshow. A key one is the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiative, and its precursor, the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Technology Demonstrator program, both led by the US Army but intended to produce rotary-winged flying machines for use across all the military branches. Just this week, the Army’s Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center issued awards to four companies under the JMR TD program to get them started on refining initial designs over the next nine months, with a hoped-for first flight of demonstrator aircraft late in the Pentagon’s fiscal 2017.
One of the participants in the JMR TD initiative is this helicopter design, a joint concept put forward by a Sikorsky-Boeing tag team. It’s based on Sikorsky’s X2 technology, which in 2010 propelled a demonstrator helicopter to 250 knots in flight — roughly twice the average cruise speed of conventional helicopters.

O boy. Seriously

Over-Exfoliating

Over-Exfoliating
Daily sloughing is not only unnecessary, it can do more harm then good. “It takes two weeks for cells to make their way from the base of the skin to the surface, and another week or two to accumulate and make skin start to look dull,” says Zeichner. A weekly exfoliating session will be enough to keep you glowing. Since most face scrubs and chemical exfoliants are based in a cleansing agent, there’s no need to make this a separate step; just swap out your regular cleanser for an exfoliating option.

Relying on Wipes

Relying on Wipes
Cleansing wipes are insanely convenient, but sadly, they’re not a substitute for legitimately washing your face. They smear dirt, makeup and oil, across the skin, rather than actually removing it, says Rouleau. “It would be like applying a cleanser and then not rinsing it off.” Make them the absolute exception, not the rule. If you just can’t give them up, they’re best suited to help remove stubborn eye makeup (but always follow with a wash).

Leaving Skin Bare

Leaving Skin Bare
Does your skin feel tight or stripped after you wash? You’ve likely missed a critical post-cleansing step, says Rouleau. Once you’re clean and dry, make sure to slather on a serum or moisturizer within 60 seconds. “The water you’ve just washed with hydrates the skin, but it instantly starts to evaporate,” she explains. “By applying a hydrating product immediately after, you not only get the benefits of the product, you’re also locking in the moisture you got from washing,” she adds.

Rubbing When Drying

Rubbing When Drying
Once you’re done cleansing, resist the urge to rub your face dry. This can cause inflammation, which may lead to unsightly irritation and redness. Instead, gently pat dry, pressing the washcloth or towel against your skin until most of the moisture is absorbed.

Washcloth Woes

Washcloth Woes
It’s okay to use a washcloth—with a few major caveats. Do opt for a baby washcloth, which will be softer and less likely to irritate your skin, suggests Rouleau. But don’t ever (ever!) scrub your face with it: “Even a little irritation from washcloths can lead to post-inflammatory pigmentation overtime,” says Zeichner. (Translation: dark spots, especially for those with darker complexions). And always, always use a freshie every time you wash: “A damp washcloth is a breeding ground for bacteria,” warns Zeichner.

Cranking Up the Temperature

Cranking Up the Temperature
While it may feel nice to wash with hot water, the results aren’t quite as pleasing. “Heat dilates the capillaries and blood vessels under your skin, making you appear flushed and red, especially if you have a condition like acne or rosacea,” says Rouleau. Stick with lukewarm temps to fend off an unwanted blush.

Missing the Makeup

Missing the Makeup
The good news: Most cleansers on the market effectively remove makeup, so there’s no need to make makeup removal a separate step in your routine, says Zeichner. The bad news? There is a little elbow grease required. After you rinse your cleanser (but before your dry), it’s important to use either a washcloth or facial sponge to thoroughly wipe your skin, says Rouleau. “Makeup doesn’t just dissolve when you wash your face, it has to be physically wiped away,” she adds.

Skipping a Morning Cleanse

Skipping a Morning Cleanse
You may be diligent about washing your face before you hit the hay, but what about in the a.m.? Even if your skin doesn’t feel dirty, don’t forgo a morning stop at the sink. “You’re getting rid of the natural oils that have built-up overnight, as well as any residue from products you applied before bed,” says Rouleau. This gives you a clean palate so that whatever you use in the morning−most importantly, sunscreen−can penetrate and work effectively, she adds.

Applying Cleanser Incorrectly

Applying Cleanser Incorrectly
It’s not just a matter of slapping some water on your face and adding a dollop of wash. If you’re using a cleansing lotion, make sure to apply it on completely dry skin and rub it in for a few seconds, as you would with a moisturizer. “This gives the oils in the cleanser a chance to breakdown the oils in your makeup and on your skin,” says Rouleau. Then, wet your fingertips slightly to help emulsify the product. On the flip side, stronger gels or foams should go onto wet skin, so that they don’t dry out your complexion. And if you’re using a wash made to combat breakouts? “Let it sit on the skin for one minute before rinsing,” advises Joshua Zeichner, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital. “This gives the active ingredients time to do their job and kill any acne-causing bacteria.”

Using the Wrong Cleanser

Using the Wrong Cleanser
Choosing the correct sudser for your skin type is a make or break moment in your skincare routine, says celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau. Using the wrong one can hinder the efficacy of any products you apply afterward, not to mention cause irritation. As a general rule of thumb, those with normal to dry complexions should opt for a more hydrating, creamy cleansing lotion; oily or combination types can use foaming or gel cleansers. The safest way to avoid over-stripping your skin? Pick a sulfate-free formula (these detergents are too harsh for everyone), and look to the size of the suds, particularly when using gels or foams. “If it’s creating the same kind of lather as your shampoo, it’s way too strong,” says Rouleau. “You want it to be slightly frothy, not super bubbly.”

All I want to say is, you can never be wrong when you step down from higher responsibilities in church but you are very wrong when you step down from marriage with it responsibilities leading to separation, divorce and broken home. By being leader, let strive to be a pivotal example and not ignoble example.

psucc: OP you have a good point but your presentation is childish and unattractive.

You may have had a message for someone but you let it fall off.

Do well next time.

Thanks for pointing it out

God, Church and Marriage. Which is important? Don’t marry if your woman cannot be your number one. It is not worth harming her spirit…

A failure in marriage is a failure to God, Church and Mankind.

If you are not married then it is God and Church till you are crowned with your spouse by our Good Lord. Pr12.4 NKJV

If you are married then it is in this order. Our dear Lord ~ > Marriage& Family~> Church

SRT Charger Hellcat – 328kmh (204mph)

If you want to go really, really fast, be four-up, but not have to crawl round the front seat when getting in, the new SRT Charger Hellcat is the new king. Thanks to Dodge’s power mad SRT department, the Charger has had heart surgery to squeeze the same supercharged 6.2-litre, 707bhp, 560lb ft HEMI V8 from the tyre-smoking Challenger Hellcat, into a car normally reserved for taxi drivers. 0-96.5kmh (60mph)? 3.7 seconds. Top speed? 328kmh (204mph). That makes it the fastest and most powerful production four-door in the world. Sounds good, too.

Aston Martin Rapide S – 326kmh (203mph)

PreviousNextThumbnails
Aston’s incredibly elegant Rapide S recently got some tweaks to make it go faster. It got a brand-new gearbox, reworked suspension and a few other electronic tweaks under the skin. This means that the 6.0-litre V12 coupled to a new and impressive eight-speed automatic from ZF allows the Aston to creep over the magic double-tonne, to a 326kmh (203mph) maximum.

Bentley Flying Spur – 321kmh (200mph)


If one wants to be in the four-door 200mph club but appreciates luxury, we’d recommend the Bentley Flying Spur. You can leave Jeeves to do the driving as you sit in the back watching two 10-inch screens, surfing the internet on the on-board WiFi whilst your buttocks are heated/cooled/massaged in the reclining rear seats. All while the 616bhp, 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 winds out to see nought to 96.5kmh (60mph) off in 4.3 seconds and on to a 321kmh (200mph) top end.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S – 307kmh (191mph)

Its looks may be polarising, but there’s no doubting that Porsche’s Panamera Turbo S is quick. With 543bhp and 590lb ft of torque when the twin-turbo V8 is cooking, 0-100kmh (62mph) is completed in 3.8 seconds (which is pretty bonkers for a 1995kg people/load lugger) and you’ll sail to a top speed of 307kmh (191mph).
