Foreign Affairs / Here Is What Donald Trump Wants To Do In His First 100 Days by starmehigh: 12:00pm On Nov 10, 2016
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington

Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;

* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;

* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately

* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back

* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.

This is my pledge to you.

And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.

Science/Technology / First Flight Built By A Biafran - Ikenga 530Z Autogiro by starmehigh: 11:20am On Nov 10, 2016

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65GTibxR2hY

This rare film documents first flight of David Gittens' Ikenga 530Z Autogiro, piloted by Mark Hallett, in June 1988 at the (ESO) Espanola Airport, NM, US. Powered by a tractor-configured Suzuki 95hp water-cooled motor and flying 23-foot McCutchen Skywheels rotors, the Ikenga 530Z Autogiro had a Vmax of 125mph, Vmin of 23mph, service ceiling of 14,500 ft., and could land with a 0-10' rollout.

The name "Ikenga" originates in the Ibo mythology of Eastern Nigeria and refers to the destiny, the creative life force, that the unborn soul brings onto the terrestrial plane to manifest in an individual's incarnation.

The Ikenga 530Z Autogiro resides in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and is their first aircraft by a designer/builder of African American heritage.

Ikenga 530Z received the Reserve Grand Champion Rotorcraft Award at the 1988 EAA Osh Kosh International Air Convention, Best New Design in Rotorcraft Award at the 1988 PRA International Rotorcraft Convention, and the Grand Champion Rotorcraft Award at the 1988 Albuquerque International Airshow.

The actions of the publishers are treasonable and equal to creating a state within a state. Why are these igbos hell bent on having that Nonsense country called biafra? Nigeria has a legitimate government and no parts of the country will be allowed to break away. South Sudan is regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and they've become a laughing stock in the world. The military should clamp down on pro biafra separatists with brutal force.

Romance / These Identical Twins Share Everything, Including A Boyfriend And A Bed by starmehigh: 1:51pm On Mar 16, 2016
[img]http://esq.h-cdn.co/assets/16/11/980x490/gallery-1458058764-twins.jpg[/img]
Identical twins Anna and Lucy DeCinque, 30, appeared on a special episode of Australian talk show The Insight to discuss how identical they really are. They are so identical they actually share a boyfriend. It works, just hear them out,

"We've had separate boyfriends before, but they didn't understand our closeness. Ben understands we want to be together all the time," because he is a twin (albeit a fraternal one) as well. One of the twins—neither the show nor any site covering their appearance identified them by name because it's too hard to tell who is who—said it's Ben's fellow twin-ness that makes him a good boyfriend to both of them: "He understands the twin thing and the very close bond we have with each other." The three of them share a room at the twins' mother's house.

The twins told Perth Now that they are not yet thinking about pregnancy, but when one of them does become pregnant, "We would have to be exactly the same—even if we went through IVF at the same time," because their bodies need to be exactly the same always.

Perth Now also reports that the women have spent nearly $250,000 on cosmetic surgeries over the past 10 years to ensure they look exactly alike.
Phones / You Can Finally Back Up Your Whatsapp Chat On Google Drive by starmehigh: 4:13pm On Oct 08, 2015

Whether it’s recounting a story, watching a video, or enjoying photos with family and friends, our memories help us reconnect with what’s really important. And every month, nearly a billion people use WhatsApp to do just that.
Of course: you don’t want your memories stuck on your phone. (What if something happens?!) So starting today, WhatsApp for Android lets you create a private backup of your chat history, voice messages, photos, and videos in Google Drive. And once you do, you can restore everything on a new device with just a couple taps.

The new backup feature is rolling out over the next few months, so keep an eye on your WhatsApp settings to see if it’s available.

Phones / App For Fingerprint Security On Any Android Smartphone (its like magic) by starmehigh: 7:55pm On Oct 01, 2015

One great feature of smartphone now is the introduction of a fingerprint scanner. According to our reviews of smartphone fingerprint scanner it enables you unlock your phone in less than a second (600 millisecond to be precise). And some fingerprint system can stores up to 10 fingerprint

Of course, you can always expect an Android app developer to try and bring interesting features to more people – even if there are hardware limitations. And yes, there is already an app that will scan your fingerprint and let you lock specific apps with it. The software is still in development and actual phone lock / unlock is listed as “coming soon”. For now, you can use it to secure some of your sensitive apps. Let’s see how all that works

How to fingerprint-lock apps on any Android device

1. Download Fingerprint AppLock

Download
Go ahead and grab the free version of the app to test it out



2. Choose Finger enroll

This is the app’s main menu. What you want to do first is register a fingerprint



3. Keep steady

OK, this is how it works – the app wil light up your LED flash and try to focus on your fingerprint. Yes, you need to keep steady for a while, and yes, it’s a bit annoying to get working. You need seven successful scans to enroll a fingerprint



4. Lock an app

Now that we have a finger registered – it’s time to lock an app. From the main menu, choose the middle option. Then, choose the app you want to lock

Science/Technology / Windowless Plane Makes Flying Amazing But Terrifying by starmehigh: 5:43pm On Nov 04, 2014
Aerophobia: the fear of flying is common for many people. Being 30,000 feet in the air in a tin can isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But in ten years time, flying may become even more terrifying! What about windowless airplanes?

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is hoping to develop a technology that will allow windowless planes to be a thing of the present. The hope is to limit the use of fuel by reducing the weight of aircrafts. Rather than windows, flexible display screens would take their place by covering the entire wall of the cabin. Passengers would be able to see outside the plane. Terrifying or exciting? It depends of who you are. Some of us prefer to forget we are no longer on the ground.

CPI states that 80% of the weight of an airplane is actually the plane itself along with its fuel. “We had been speaking to people in aerospace and we understood that there was this need to take weight out of aircraft. Follow the logical thought through. Let’s take all the windows out— that’s what they do in cargo aircraft,” states Jon Helliwell of the CPI.
Reducing a plane’s weight by 1% means 0.75% less fuel is used. This leads to fewer CO2 emissions, lower costs and cheaper plane tickets.

So what would replace the windows? Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This flexible display screen would allow a projected panoramic view from cameras attached to the outside of the plane. Passengers could adjust their views, watch videos and use the internet using this versatile technology.

CPI is hoping this technology will be available in the next 10 years. But we will have to see how the idea flies with the everyday passenger.

Religion / Group Unveils Satan Statue Design For Oklahoma by starmehigh: 9:43am On Jan 08, 2014
shocked shocked


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A satanic group unveiled designs Monday for a 7-foot-tall statue of Satan it wants to put at the Oklahoma state Capitol, where a Ten Commandments monument was placed in 2012he New York-based Satanic Temple formally submitted its application to a panel that oversees the Capitol grounds, including an artist's rendering that depicts Satan as Baphomet, a goat-headed figure with horns, wings and a long beard that's often used as a symbol of the occult. In the rendering, Satan is sitting in a pentagram-adorned throne with smiling children next to him.

"The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond," temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said in a statement. "The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation."

The Satanic Temple maintains that the Oklahoma Legislature's decision to authorize a privately funded Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol opened the door for its statue. The Ten Commandments monument was placed on the north steps of the building in 2012, and the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has sued to have it removed.

Similar requests for monuments have been made by a Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group and the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

In response, the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission recently placed a moratorium on considering any new requests.

In this Sept. 9, 2010 photo, a billboard erected by atheists in Oklahoma City reads " Don't believe …

"Anybody can still make their request, but we'll hold off on considering them until the lawsuit is adjudicated," commission Chairman Trait Thompson said.

The push by the Satanic Temple has rankled elected leaders in this conservative state known as the buckle of the Bible Belt, who say such a proposal would never be approved by the commission.

"I think you've got to remember where you are. This is Oklahoma, the middle of the heartland," said Rep. Don Armes, R-Faxon. "I think we need to be tolerant of people who think different than us, but this is Oklahoma, and that's not going to fly here."

While Greaves acknowledges the Satanic Temple's effort is in part to highlight what it says is hypocrisy of state leaders in Oklahoma, he says the group is serious about having a monument placed there.

The group already has raised nearly half of the $20,000 it says it needs to build the monument.

"We plan on moving forward one way or another," Greaves said.

Another Oklahoma legislator, Rep. Earl Sears, called the group's effort "an insult to the good people of the state."

"I do not see Satanism as a religion, and they have no place at the state Capitol," said Sears, R-Bartlesville.

On its website, the Satanic Temple explains that it "seeks to separate Religion from Superstition by acknowledging religious belief as a metaphorical framework with which we construct a narrative context for our goals and works.

"Satan stands as the ultimate icon for the selfless revolt against tyranny, free & rational inquiry, and the responsible pursuit of happiness," the website says.

Webmasters / Man Who Hacked Zuckerberg's FB Page To Get Reward by starmehigh: 1:15pm On Aug 22, 2013
By Starme High

BOSTON (Reuters) - A man who hacked into Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page to expose a software bug is getting donations from hackers around the world after the company declined to pay him under a program that normally rewards people who report flaws.

Khalil Shreateh discovered and reported the flaw but was initially dismissed by the company's security team. He then posted a message on the billionaire's wall to prove the bug's existence.

Now, Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer of cybersecurity firm BeyondTrust, is trying to mobilize fellow hackers to raise a $10,000 reward for Shreateh after Facebook (FB.O) refused to compensate him.

Maiffret, a high school dropout and self-taught hacker, said on Tuesday he has raised about $9,000 so far, including the $2,000 he initially contributed.

He and other hackers say Facebook unfairly denied Shreateh, a Palestinian, a payment under its "Bug Bounty" program. It doles out at least $500 to individuals who bring software bugs to the company's attention.

"He is sitting there in Palestine doing this research on a five-year-old laptop that looks like it is half broken," Maiffret said. "It's something that might help him out in a big way."

Shreateh uncovered the flaw on the company's website that allows members to post messages on the wall of any other user, including Zuckerberg's. He tried to submit the bug for review but the website's security team did not accept his report.

He then posted a message to Zuckerberg himself on the chief executive officer's private account, saying he was having trouble getting his team's attention.

"Sorry for breaking your privacy," Shreateh said in the post.

The bug was quickly fixed and Facebook issued an apology on Monday for having been "too hasty and dismissive" with Shreateh's report. But it has not paid him a bounty.

"We will not change our practice of refusing to pay rewards to researchers who have tested vulnerabilities against real users," Chief Security Officer Joe Sullivan said in a blogpost.

He said Facebook has paid out more than $1 million under that program to researchers who followed its rules. (Reporting by Jim Finkle; Editing by Xavier Briand)

Foreign Affairs / Kenyan Lawyer Sues Israel For Killing Jesus Christ by starmehigh: 8:08pm On Aug 04, 2013
The state of Israel is being sued by a Kenyan lawyer in the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICJ) for the “trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ,” which the lawyer claims was “unlawful,” according to regional media reports. Kenyan lawyer Dola Indidis says that Israel and the Jewish people should be held legally liable for Jesus’s death,
according to the Jerusalem Post. Indidis, who has taken his case the ICJ
in The Hague, is also suing Tiberius, the
emperor of Rome in 42 BCE, “Pontius
Pilate, a selection of Jewish elders, King
Herod, the Republic of Italy, and theState of Israel,” according to the Post. Indidis is using the Bible as his primary piece of evidence against Israel. “Evidence today is on record in the Bible, and you cannot discredit the Bible,” Indidis was quoted as saying by the Kenyan Citizen News. Indidis further “insists that the
government for whom they acted can
andshould still be held responsible,” the Post reported. The state of Israel is being sued by a Kenya
