FlyBoard Official | Official Site of the Flyboard in the US, Canada, Caribbean, Central America and South America Blood Moon Tunes: Music to Make Your 'Supermoon' Lunar Eclipse Rock As you settle in Sunday night (Sept. 27) to watch the supermoon lunar eclipse, kick back with some moon tunes as chosen by Space.com's staff. The moon has always fascinated humans, ever present and ever changing in the sky, and that fascination has inspired countless moon-based melodies. A full moon can mean romance or chaos and disaster; a thin silver sliver spells mystery, changeability or tranquility. Listen below to some moon favorites: NASA has contemplated the moon in song as well: Steven Williams from NASA's Planetary Science Division pulled together an infographic and long list of moon-inspired refrains. The infographic pulls out classic moon tunes, songs about the Apollo moon missions, and even songs for a rainbow of multicolored moons (from "Red Moon" by The Walkmen down to "Kiko and the Lavender Moon" by Los Lobos). To prepare for Sunday's eclipse, check out Space.com's viewing guide or catch up on the science behind it.
Medical marijuana and 'the entourage effect' Scientist Raphael Mechoulam has made studying marijuana his life's workThere are more than 480 natural components in the cannabis plant"The entourage effect" means those components may work best together (CNN) -- In the early 1960s, a young postdoctoral student stumbled onto something that puzzled him. After reading the literature on cannabis, he was surprised to see that while the active compound in morphine had been isolated from opium poppies 100 years before and cocaine isolated from coca leaves around the same time, the active component of marijuana was still unknown. This simple observation launched his life's work. That young Israeli researcher, Raphael Mechoulam, is now a heavily decorated scientist, recently nominated for the prestigious Rothschild Prize. More than 50 years ago, however, he had trouble starting his scientific journey. Dr. For starters, he needed cannabis to study and didn't know how to obtain it. Dr. Doctor: Weed is not a 'gateway drug' Dr. -- Cannabigerols (CBG);

Photo Credit: NASA Gregory Cecil July 16th, 2015 Forty-six years ago today, on July 16, 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida – for the Moon. After two prior flights that went on to orbit the Moon by the crews of Apollo 8 and Apollo 10, the trio of Apollo 11 was ready to fulfill the late President Kennedy’s goal of, “… I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” The three spaceflight veterans included the mission’s commander, Neil Armstrong, the command module pilot Michael Collins, and lunar module pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. Each of them was experienced, having flown before on previous missions during the Gemini Program. In attendance for the launch was Charles Lindbergh, a guest of Neil Armstrong.
The Fourth Amendment and the "Exclusionary Rule" For the more than 100 years after its ratification, the Fourth Amendment was of little value to criminal defendants because evidence seized by law enforcement in violation of the warrant or reasonableness requirements was still admissible during the defendant's prosecution. The Supreme Court dramatically changed Fourth Amendment jurisprudence when it handed down its decision in Weeks v. United States, 232 U.S. 383 (1914). Weeks involved the appeal of a defendant who had been convicted based on evidence that had been seized by a federal agent without a warrant or other constitutional justification. The Supreme Court reversed the defendant's conviction, thereby creating what is known as the "exclusionary rule." Designed to deter police misconduct, the exclusionary rule enables courts to exclude incriminating evidence from introduction at trial upon proof that the evidence was procured in contravention of a constitutional provision.

Apollo was a three-part spacecraft: the command module (CM), the crew’s quarters and flight control section; the service module (SM) for the propulsion and spacecraft support systems (when together, the two modules are called the CSM); and the lunar module (LM), to take two of the crew to the lunar surface, support them on the Moon, and return them to the CSM in lunar orbit. The CM, 12 feet (3.63 meters) long and shaped like a blunt cone, was at the front or top of the main spacecraft. When all was said and done?
Darknet for Beginners: Nightweb, I2P, Tor over Meshnet, and More In the previous post, ‘Encryption for Beginners in an Era of Total Surveillance,’ the basics of setup of a simple system of encryption were covered, addressing how to communicate off the record with perfect forward secrecy, and providing guidelines for use of Tor and VPNs. As circumstances change, so change the methods of communication. In this post, there will be covered recommendations for how to secure yourself against vulnerabilites associated with older versions of Tor or Tails, methods of ‘opsec’ or operational security, providing some general principles for communicating in a way that will allow you to communicate with greater anonymity, instructions of how to set up and run Nightweb and I2P (as well as how to run Tor over a meshnet), and also, how to deal with that broken and insecure web that you are encountering — with more vulnerabilities and intrusions into your privacy developing daily. General Operational Security Recommendations (OPSEC) …Diversify, Decentralize.
Our SpaceFlight Heritage: Remembering Apollo 10 Photo Credit: John Young / NASA David Darling May 18th, 2014 On May 18th, 1969, at 12:49 p.m. The plume from Apollo 10’s Saturn V rumbles outward. Apollo 10’s main purpose was to test rendezvous and docking operations between the Command and Service Module (CSM) and the Lunar Module (LM) in lunar orbit. Up to this point, the mission had gone entirely to plan without any undue alarms. Splashdown took place in the Pacific Ocean at 12:52 p.m. Photo Credit: NASA A whole slew of records was set by the Apollo 10 mission. “I had flown two flights before, you know space is so beautiful when you look down at the Earth with all that you see – but all we had was the Hasselblad film and little 16 millimeter cameras, it was just short clips. Apollo 10 was the only mission in the series to lift off from Launch Complex 39B at the Cape and the first to carry a color TV camera aboard a crewed spacecraft. Snoopy’s fate however would be different from that of its kin. Welcome to The Spaceflight Group! Dr.
How to Avoid Foreclosure When You Can't Pay Your Mortgage Foreclosures hit a record high in August 2011. Although they have since dropped about 13 percent from that peak, the housing saga continues to unfold as high unemployment rates and economic stagnation continues to leave homeowners broke — and sometimes unable to make their mortgage payments. According to the most recent statistics by Realty Trac, many states even saw year-over-year increases in foreclosures in August 2012. If you’re struggling to make your mortgage payments, there are several options to help keep you in your home, or at least limit the financial damage of giving it up. 1. A lot of people lose their homes to foreclosure out of sheer denial. According to the U.S. 2. Refinancing a home can be an option, but only for buyers who aren’t already stretched to the max. Keep in mind, however, that refinancing often includes some pretty hefty fees (for breaking your existing mortgage contract), and may also cost you more in interest over time. 3. 4. 5. Bankruptcy is no picnic. 6.
Gecko inspired anchors Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are honing the applications of a gecko-like gripping mechanism in the hope of making life a little less chaotic for those working aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The ever-inventive JPL workers have come up with a series of "astronaut anchors" for use both inside and outside the station, and have even equipped a robot with the tech, opening up the possibility of allowing it to safely operate on the exterior of the space station. Living in space is considerably more difficult than it is back on Earth. Everything is just that little bit more floaty, and whilst astronauts have an impressive arsenal of contraptions and railings to hang on to up there, it's inevitable that the general lack of gravity is going to hurt productivity. Using a biomimetic approach, NASA scientists are planning to give astronauts a new and highly versatile tool with which to manipulate the unruly microgravity environment. Source: NASA JPL
