This is being billed as a UFO sighting near a Russian missile launch in March 2011. I can’t really say what it is for sure but it’s incredibly beautiful. I’ve seen another version of it but not as spectacular as this one is towards the end of the video. The fact that it hangs in the sky at the end seems to support it being a spaceship. Definitely not a missile.
The FBI has declassified a series of documents which they claim is proved the existence of aliens with humanoid form. According to reports, the humanoid bodies were recovered from a UFO that crashed in the U.S.. “Each of the humanoids occupied one of the crashed saucers, have documents.
Find out the owner of any cell phone or unlisted number. Results include name, address, carrier, and other details when available. Your search is confidential.
Do you have Caller ID? How helpful is it when an anonymous number shows up? Not very helpful, is it? Especially if it’s an annoying prank caller giving you trouble.
So Do You Want To Find Out Who It Is? – If the answer is yes then let me introduce you to your new best friend.Reverse Cell Phone Look up is the easiest, the fastest and 100% confidential way to get the details you need. All you need is the cell number and you are set to go.
But How Is It Possible? Aren’t Cell Numbers protected and Unlisted? – Yes, they are but some companies have access to databases with these details. These databases are maintained for emergency reasons. You too can access them through these companies. And the best part about it is that you can try as many numbers as and when you want.
Beware! How Do You Choose The Best Database? You need to remember three things.
1. The database should have at least 200 Million in numbers – Why? USA has an estimated over 250 million mobile users. Smaller the database size, the higher the chance you won’t find the number you’re looking for
2. It should be accurate – This is important because you don’t want to end up with the wrong details. So accuracy is a must.
3. Details should be up-to-date – Some companies update their details every 15 minutes. They offer a higher guarantee that the details you want are current and not outdated. An outdated service simply tell you who the previous owner of that number was instead of the current owner
ReversePhoneCaller.com today announced the launch of its site and service to quickly locate any landline number or a cell phone number for people who want to gather more information about unknown people calling or sending them text messages. There are a lot of situations when someone needs to use this service. After receiving unwanted or uncomfortable phone calls, getting a free reverse phone lookup is the best strategy to disarm the caller. Unwanted phone conversations are annoying and stressful. ReversePhoneCaller.com allows its customers to find out where the calls came from and the identity of the caller, even for unlisted phone numbers. The reverse phone finder works with landlines and cell phone numbers as well.
Self-oscillatinggels are materials that continuously change back and forth between different states — such as color or size — without provocation from external stimuli. These changes are caused by the Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction, which was discovered during the 1950s. Without stirring or other outside influence, wave patterns from this chemical reaction can develop within the material or cause the entire gel itself to pulsate.
Irene Chou Chen, a doctoral candidate in the lab of Krystyn J. Van Vliet, the Paul M. Cook Career Development Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, has been studying exactly how adjusting the size and shape of these gels can affect their behavior.
By integrating experiments with computer simulations conducted by collaborators Olga Kuksenok, Victor Yashin and Anna C. Balazs at the University of Pittsburgh, the MIT researchers have shown that pattern formation within the material can be controlled by changing the gel’s size or shape. When the reaction is restricted to a sub-millimeter-sized gel, the material exhibits chemical oscillations that cause it to mechanically swell and shrink. Lasting for several hours, these self-sustained oscillations exemplify chemomechanical coupling — where chemical reactions cause mechanical changes. The work will be published in the March issue of the journal Soft Matter as part of a special focus on “active soft matter.”
The self-sustained pulsations could enable unique applications for this material, the researchers say, such as using it as an environmental sensor or as an actuator that could react to specific conditions. The simulations developed by the University of Pittsburgh group could also help to make such applications easier to implement.
A new before-and-after image pair from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft shows a region of Japan's northeastern coast, northeast of the city of Sendai, affected by the March 11, 2011, tsunami. The image at the left is from March 14, 2011; the right-hand image is from August 2008. Image credit: NASA/GSFC/METI/ERSDAC/JAROS
The images show the coastal cities of Ofunato and Kesennuma, located about 90 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of Sendai. Ofunato has a population of about 42,000, while the population of Kesennuma is about 73,000. Areas covered by vegetation are shown in red, while cities and unvegetated areas are shown in shades of blue-gray. The image on the left was acquired on March 14, 2011; the image on the right was acquired in August 2008. When compared closely, vegetation is no longer visible in many coastal areas in the new image, particularly around Kesennuma. Scientists believe this is most likely due to the effects of the tsunami.
The images combine infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light to form a false-color image that distinguishes between water and land. Water is blue. Buildings and paved surfaces appear in shades of blue-gray. Fallow fields appear in shades of beige and brown. Vegetation is red, and the brighter the red, the more robust the vegetation. (Brighter shades of red in March and duller shades in January result largely from the difference in season.)
In the March image, water has spilled over the banks both north and south of the river. Although agricultural fields appear to have escaped the flooding farther inland (image left), some fields closer to the ocean have seemingly disappeared into the sea. North of the Kitakami, floodwaters extend far enough inland to create what looks like a parallel river. Near the coast, only the rugged peaks rising above the floodplains have escaped inundation. Floating debris from the tsunami has accumulated in several coves (particularly image lower right).
On March 15, 2011 (early on March 16 in Japan), NHK World reported that the number of dead and missing likely exceeded 10,000. While police reported 3,373 confirmed deaths, 7,558 people remained missing. More than 440,000 people had sought refuge in temporary shelters.
Indian politicians might be negotiating to get the Technology and planning to award it to foreign firms the illegal way like 2G and S Band.
A new cyberweapon could take down the entire internet – and there’s not much that current defences can do to stop it. So say Max Schuchard at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and his colleagues, the masterminds who have created the digital ordnance. But thankfully they have no intention of destroying the net just yet. Instead, they are suggesting improvements to its defences.
Schuchard’s new attack pits the structure of the internet against itself. Hundreds of connection points in the net fall offline every minute, but we don’t notice because the net routes around them. It can do this because the smaller networks that make up the internet, known as autonomous systems, communicate with each other through routers. When a communication path changes, nearby routers inform their neighbours through a system known as the border gateway protocol (BGP). These routers inform other neighbours in turn, eventually spreading knowledge of the new path throughout the internet.
A previously discovered method of attack, dubbed ZMW – after its three creators Zhang, Mao and Wang, researchers in the US who came up with their version four years ago – disrupts the connection between two routers by interfering with BGP to make it appear that the link is offline. Schuchard and colleagues worked out how to spread this disruption to the entire internet and simulated its effects.
Surgical strike
The attack requires a large botnet – a network of computers infected with software that allows them to be externally controlled: Schuchard reckons 250,000 such machines would be enough to take down the internet. Botnets are often used to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which bring web servers down by overloading them with traffic, but this new line of attack is different.
“Normal DDoS is a hammer; this is more of a scalpel,” says Schuchard. “If you cut in the wrong places then the attack won’t work.”
An attacker deploying the Schuchard cyberweapon would send traffic between computers in their botnet to build a map of the paths between them. Then they would identify a link common to many different paths and launch a ZMW attack to bring it down. Neighbouring routers would respond by sending out BGP updates to reroute traffic elsewhere. A short time later, the two sundered routers would reconnect and send out their own BGP updates, upon which attack traffic would start flowing in again, causing them to disconnect once more. This cycle would repeat, with the single breaking and reforming link sending out waves of BGP updates to every router on the internet. Eventually each router in the world would be receiving more updates than it could handle – after 20 minutes of attacking, a queue requiring 100 minutes of processing would have built up.
Clearly, that’s a problem. “Routers under extreme computational load tend to do funny things,” says Schuchard. With every router in the world preoccupied, natural routing outages wouldn’t be fixed, and eventually the internet would be so full of holes that communication would become impossible. Shuchard thinks it would take days to recover.
“Once this attack got launched, it wouldn’t be solved by technical means, but by network operators actually talking to each other,” he says. Each autonomous system would have to be taken down and rebooted to clear the BGP backlog.
Meltdown not expected
So is internet meltdown now inevitable? Perhaps not. The attack is unlikely to be launched by malicious hackers, because mapping the network to find a target link is a highly technical task, and anyone with a large enough botnet is more likely to be renting it out for a profit.
An alternative scenario would be the nuclear option in a full-blown cyberwar – the last resort in retaliation to other forms of cyberattack. A nation state could pull up the digital drawbridge by adjusting its BGP to disconnect from the internet, just as Egypt did two weeks ago. An agent in another country could then launch the attack, bringing down the internet while preserving the attacking nation’s internal network.
Sitting duck
Whoever launched the attack, there’s little we could do about it. Schuchard’s simulation shows that existing fail-safes built into BGP do little to protect against his attack – they weren’t designed to. One solution is to send BGP updates via a separate network from other data, but this is impractical as it would essentially involve building a shadow internet.
Another is to alter the BGP system to assume that links never go down, but this change would have to be made by at least 10 per cent of all autonomous systems on the internet, according to the researchers’ model, and would require network operators to monitor the health of connections in other ways. Schuchard says that convincing enough independent operators to make the change could be difficult.
“Nobody knows if it’s possible to bring down the global internet routing system,” says Mark Handley, an expert in networked systems at University College London. He suggests that the attack could cause “significant disruption” to the internet, with an effect greater than the Slammer worm of 2003, but it is unlikely to bring the whole thing down.
“The simulations in the paper make a lot of simplifying assumptions, which is necessary to simulate on this scale,” he explains. “I doubt the internet would behave as described.”
