Maj. Gen. Stephen Lyons, the commanding general at Fort Lee, which is south of Richmond, said the solider is a sergeant first class with 14 years in the Army, but declined to identify her at this time. She is being treated at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center.

But you can opt out of Google, Twitter, et al. You can choose to not participate. The government, for the most part, isn‘t optional. There‘s no TOS you can read before deciding to do business elsewhere. Your information is gathered, stored and rifled through by any number of people, some of whom are doing it just because their positions give them access.

Nach Informationen des deutschen Spiegel-Magazins gibt es in der Nato Überlegungen, den künftigen Raketenabwehrschirm auch gegen Russland in Stellung zu bringen. Solche Forderungen, unterstützt von den USA, sollen aus den baltischen Ländern und Polen kommen. „Der Spiegel meint in seinem Artikel offenbar die Stationierung von Raketen mit großer Reichweite. Lettland hat keine solchen Pläne, soweit ich weiß“, sagte Vejonis am Montag. „Wir wollen einen Raketenabwehrschirm kurzer Reichweite entwickeln, so unter anderem schultergestützte Luftabwehrraketen kaufen.“

Union defence minister Arun Jaitley commissioned India’s first indigenously built stealth Anti-Submarine Warfare Corvette INS Kamorta at the Naval Dockyard here on Saturday.

It should be remembered that ISIS itself is a creation of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Qatar, and has been harbored and provided material assistance by NATO-member Turkey for years. Portrayed by various names by the Western media – ISIS, al-Nusra, the “Free Syrian Army” – in reality it is a conglomerate of Western-backed mercenary forces raised as early as 2007 to overthrow the government in Damascus and confront Iranian influence across the entire region, including in Lebanon and in Iraq.

But John McCain is not just the leader of the political opposition to President Obama, he is also one of his senior officials!

He is in fact President of the International Republican Institute (IRI), the republican branch of NED / CIA [12], since January 1993. This so-called “NGO” was officially established by President Ronald Reagan to extend certain activities of the CIA, in connection with the British, Canadian and Australian secret services. Contrary to its claims, it is indeed an inter-governmental agency. Its budget is approved by Congress in a budget line dependent of the Secretary of State.

It is also because it is a joint agency of the Anglo-Saxon secret services that several states in the world prohibit it from any activity on their territory.

„We had prior information about the aircraft because a previous model had been shot down in Syria. But this downed drone is a more advanced version,“ Hajizadeh said, however this information could not be confirmed independently.

Are police officers getting worse or is this apparent increase in excessive force nothing more than a reflection of the increase in unofficial documentation (read: cameras) and public scrutiny? What we do know is that as crime has gone down, police forces have escalated their acquisitions of military gear and weapons. With options for lethal and less-lethal force continually expanding, it seems that deployment of force in excess of what the situation requires has become the new normal, but it‘s tough to find hard data that backs up these impressions.

NATO summit will be held in Wales on Sept. 4-5. A Georgian delegation at the summit will be headed by President Margvelashvili.

Dempsey is on his way to Afghanistan to attend a change of command ceremony Tuesday. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford is stepping down as the top commander there; Army Gen. John Campbell will take over.

Die chinesischen Wissenschaftler haben dafür das Prinzip der Superkavitation weiterentwickelt, das die Sowjetunion bereits während des Kalten Krieges entwickelt hatte. Dabei wird ein Unterwasserfahrzeug von einer Luftblase umgeben, um die Reibung zu verringern. Ein Torpedo hatte so bereits damals Geschwindigkeiten von 370 km/h erreicht. Theoretisch kann auf diese Weise sogar eine Geschwindigkeit von 5.800 km/h erreicht werden, was der Schallgeschwindigkeit unter Wasser entspricht.

Australia is the world’s third-largest uranium producer, exporting the metal to countries including Japan, the United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, South Korea and the United States.

In May, the Open Technology Fund commissioned iSEC Partners to study current and future hardening options for the Tor Browser. The Open Technology Fund is the primary funder of Tor Browser development, and it commissions security analysis and review for all of the projects that it funds as a standard practice. We worked with iSEC to define the scope of the engagement to focus on the following six main areas:

Review of the current state of hardening in Tor Browser
Investigate additional hardening options and instrumentation
Perform historical vulnerability analysis on Firefox, in order to make informed vulnerability surface reduction recommendations
Investigate image, audio, and video codecs and their respective library‘s vulnerability history
Review our current about:config settings, both for vulnerability surface reduction and security
Review alternate/obscure protocol and application handlers

Spies from both countries have been working on finding flaws in Tor, a popular way of anonymously accessing „hidden“ sites.

But the team behind Tor says other spies are tipping them off, allowing them to quickly fix any vulnerabilities.

The agencies declined to comment.
