<a href="https://www.blog.google/products/gmail/stay-composed-heres-quick-rundown-new-gmail/" target="_blank">Google announced</a> major improvements to Gmail on the web to help people be more productive at work. <br />
You can start using these new updates in Gmail on the web today, with
 some features appearing within the coming weeks. Go to Settings (the 
cog wheel in the top right corner of your inbox) and select “Try the new
 Gmail.” If you want to switch back later down the road, you can go to 
the same place and select “Go back to classic Gmail.”<br />
<br />
Many new Gmail features are designed to get more businesses to switch
 to G Suite. Google has 4 million businesses paying for G Suite right 
now while there are 120 million Office 365 commercial users. Microsoft 
has 29.2 million consumers paying for Office 365, and Microsoft has more
 revenue from Office 365 commercial subscriptions than regular 
standalone software copies of Office.<br />
The new Gmail tries to improve integration of Calendar and tasks. Office 365 integration is a key benefit.<br />
<a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7677724?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=new_gmail" target="blank">Google has online support here.</a><br />

<br />
Gmail’s new look helps you get more done. Click on attachments—like 
photos—without opening or scrolling through large conversations, use the
 new snooze button to put off emails that you just can’t get to right 
now or easily access other apps you use often, like Google Calendar, 
Tasks (now available on Android and iOS) and Keep.<br />
Gmail will also “nudge” you to follow up and respond to messages with
 quick reminders that appear next to your email messages to help make 
sure nothing slips through the cracks.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-144416" height="489" src="https://www.nextbigfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/b70e493ae6a76f00b33669ff1c8f407a.gif?x71037" width="906" /><br />
<br />
New features on mobile, like high-priority notifications, can notify 
you of important messages to help you stay focused without interruption.
 Plus, Gmail will start suggesting when to unsubscribe from newsletters 
or offers you no longer care about.<br />

Stealth ‘invisibility cloaks’ on regular Fighter Jets

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<iframe __idm_id__="187951105" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yeV-F6Vdg1M" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<br />
China has for long been trying to develop stealth technology for its fighter aircraft, and the end results have been questioned by experts. 
However, the Asian giant seems to be taking the problem in a manner 
that's totally different from how the West, particularly the US. The 
Chinese are trying to develop materials that when used to cloak 
aircraft, can even make older non-stealth aircraft nearly invisible.<br />
<br />
Reports in Chinese <a href="http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2142887/now-you-see-it-now-you-dont-china-tests-stealth-invisibility" target="_blank">media</a> have referred to it as the 'cloak of invisibility'. This approach is different from the Western methods of 
relying on stealthy airframes and surfaces for the aircraft. It will 
rely on 'metamaterials' to either absorb or deflect radio waves, 
theoretically making the aircraft invisible on command.<br />

The news is likely to gain sustained interest and analysis in <a href="http://www.news.com.au/military/invisibility-cloaks-china-claims-it-is-making-its-old-combat-jets-stealthy/news-story/4b661f44065627078b77d17e3efe50d9" target="_blank">defence circles</a> because it would help turn much older aircraft into stealth 
variants.<br />
<br />
Stealth technology is not a single unit of technical know-how. It is 
more of a collection of design principles and material usage that helps 
an aircraft or a ship minimise its radar cross-section. That means a 
massive craft will show up as a much smaller object when it is picked up
 by a radar. The very idea of stealth is aimed at giving fighter jets 
more time before they are detected, cutting down on the reaction time 
available to the adversary.<br />
<br />
For instance, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, considered the pinnacle 
of stealth technology so far, has wings that stretch 13.56 meters from 
tip to tip. But it will be detected by radar as an object that's the 
size of a steel marble, according to some estimates. The technologies 
and radar-absorbent materials developed for the F-22 are presently 
available only to the US, and that's why the manufacturer is banned from
 selling the F-22 to anyone other than the US military.<br />
<br />
The Chinese have claimed that their bid at building a stealth fighter - 
the Chengdu J-20 - has been successful. But defence experts have raised 
doubts on what they point out are design elements that are fundamentally
 anti-stealth - like the J-20's canards.<br />
<br />
The Chinese are now testing the metamaterial 'cloak of invisibility' on 
non-stealth aircraft at a testing facility near Eastern China's 
Shenyang, Chinese media have reported. The metamaterials used were 
developed at the State Key Laboratory of Millimetre Waves at Nanjing's 
Southeast University.<br />
<br />
The 'metamaterial' is a layer that features microscopic structures 
similar to integrated circuits. The metamaterial can alter the way radio
 waves bounce off its surface to create a ghost image or minimise echo 
on a radar.<br />
<br />
However, the reports did note that there are significant difficulties to
 be surmounted before the technology can come to fruition. The team 
developing the material had said in 2011 that it could absorb the three 
most commonly used military radar waves. In 2013, they claimed to have 
developed a 'ghost illusion device' that render the aircraft with almost
 no radar signature.<br />
<br />
But 'metamaterials' alone would not be enough to equip an aircraft with 
stealth. It would only be a piece of the puzzle. Metamaterials are also 
difficult to mass-produce, placing crushing curbs on their widespread 
use.<br />
Either way, the Chinese may be doing the same things the Americans did, 
but time will tell whether their difference in approach will help them 
reach an innovative result that the world has not seen yet.<br />

 They want to apply modular designs to high-temperature superconductors.
 They want to get to stronger magnets that will shrink the size and cost
 of the potential nuclear fusion reactor. Improved magnets would improve
 any nuclear fusion design that involves confinement of plasma.<br />
<br />
There is
 less science risk to this MIT approach but more technological risk. 
They are trying to accelerate the commercial use of high-temperature 
superconducting magnets and trying to contain their costs. Cost for 
superconducting magnets for past fusion projects have been $20 per watt 
but other applications have seen costs of $1.4 to $1.8 per watt.<br />

‘Secret UFO Video’ from 1996 Space Shuttle Mission

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
 <img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-108791" height="444" src="http://mysteriousuniverse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sts77-570x396.jpg" width="640" /><br />
 STS-77 crew<br />
 the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-135" rel="noopener" target="_blank">last Space Shuttle mission</a> ended on July 21, 2011. That’s nothing compared to how long it’s been since the first humans to land on the Moon in July 1969.<br />
<br />
That headline comes from a <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/694430/news-ufo-aliens-lie-detector-test-buzz-aldrin-astronauts" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Daily Star article</a>
 referring to a “lie detector test” conducted by The Institute of 
BioAcoustic Biology in Albany, Ohio, on astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Al 
Worden, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper. All at one time or another 
claimed to have seen UFOs during their space missions.<br />
However, the 
so-called lie detector tests may be that in only the loosest sense of 
the word as this latest technology, as pointed out by Micah Hanks at <a href="http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/04/aldrins-aliens-a-deeper-look-at-one-astronauts-famous-ufo-sighting/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mysterious Universe</a>,
 was actually conducted on voice recordings of the men talking about 
their alleged encounters since Mitchell and Gordon are both deceased and
 their stories cannot be tested using more conventional lie detectors.<br />

<blockquote>
“NASA releases video of ‘UFO’ from 1969 space mission sparking frenzy online”</blockquote>
That headline comes from a <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/694669/Alien-news-NASA-releases-video-UFO-1969-space-mission-Buzz-Aldrin" rel="noopener" target="_blank">follow-up article</a>
 the following day by the same Daily Star, which could use a proofreader
 as well as that “latest technology” lie detector. While the date says 
“1969,” which was the year of Buzz Aldrin’s alleged UFO sighting, the 
“video” it refers to is actually from the Space Shuttle mission STS-77 
in 1996.<br />

<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_108791" style="width: 580px;">
<br /></div>
That apparent juxtaposition of the numbers in the year is not the 
only problem with this article. While it’s true that NASA released this 
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>video (seen <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/694669/Alien-news-NASA-releases-video-UFO-1969-space-mission-Buzz-Aldrin" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a>)</b></span></span>, it was not a recent release.<br />
<br />
It’s actually been around since 1996 and was the subject of a <a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a4298/4319637/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Popular Mechanics</a>
 debunking in 2009 in which identified the UFO as the Passive 
Aerodynamically Stabilized Magnetically Damped/Satellite Test 
Unit(PAM/STU), whose launch and deployment was tracked by shuttle 
cameras and narrated by the astronauts, who often referred to it as the 
“target” – a common military term for just about everything being 
watched, not just enemies and UFOs.<br />
<br />
It’s too bad we’re forced to look at these sensationalized clips when
 so much of what was studied on these Space Shuttle missions was only 
lightly covered at the time and not at all today. <a href="https://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/shuttle_pk/pk/Flight_077_STS-077_Press_Kit.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">STS-77</a>,
 the 77th of 134 missions, tested one of the early inflatable space 
structures so common today and performed experiments developed jointly 
by numerous countries.<br />
<br />
The astronauts even had some fun working with a 
Fluids Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus-2 (FGBA-2) to determine if 
separately stored carbon dioxide, water and thick liquids could be 
combined in space and consumed without bubble nucleation and resulting 
foam formation. In other words, they tried (successfully) to make 
Coca-Cola and Diet Coke in space.<br />

Sure, exploration is the ultimate goal of all space programs, but the
 mundane groundwork and testing is crucial to future success. It’s also a
 place for many to be a part of the space program – while Neil and Buzz 
stepped onto the lunar surface, one of the most remembered videos was of
 the many people in the control room celebrating the success of the 
project so many had worked so hard to achieve.<br />
<br />
It’s time to get back to developing new interest in space 
exploration, space science and space technologies instead of rehashing 
old (and misleading) events. As a different <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114709/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Buzz once said</a> (and you don’t need a lie detector test to prove it).<br />

Alleged UFO ‘Mothership’ Filmed in North Carolina

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="The Phoenix Lights remain among the most widespread mass sightings in UFO history." class="size-large wp-image-73510" height="335" src="http://mysteriousuniverse.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/phoenix2-570x299.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Video of an alleged UFO sighting in 
North Carolina has surfaced online, prompting speculation of possible 
military testing of experimental aircraft – and aliens, of course. The 
sighting took place in Columbus, a small town in western North Carolina 
with a population of around 1,000. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The video shows a v-shaped formation 
of bright lights hovering silently in the night sky, similar to the 
infamous </span><a href="http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/04/kurt-russell-recalls-ufo-sighting-in-bbc-interview/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phoenix Lights</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
 which appeared over Arizona in 1997. Is this a genuine sighting, or 
could nearby Armed Forces bases be up to their usual tricks?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_73510" style="width: 580px;">
<img alt=""Our mission: to boldly go where no aliens have gone before."" class="wp-image-108548 size-large" height="324" src="http://mysteriousuniverse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Depositphotos_119667374_m-2015-640x324.jpg" width="640" /> </div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_73510" style="width: 580px;">
<br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">
The Phoenix Lights remain among the most widespread mass sightings in UFO history.</div>
</div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://youtu.be/fWZ27BOuk2o" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">five-minute video</span></a><span style="margin-left: 5px; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
 was uploaded to YouTube on April 3rd by the “UFO Institute” channel, 
and MUFON has recorded the incident in its database. In the video, two 
pairs of lights are visible on either side of a brighter central pair, 
all of which appear to hover together in a v-formation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Whatever it is,
 it seems to be dropping,” says an unidentified man filming the clip. 
“I’d like to know what the heck those six lights are.” Me too, buddy. Me
 too. Unfortunately, with only one eyewitness and one dark video to go 
on, it’s doubtful we ever will.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Another UFO YouTube channel, 
TheHiddenUnderbelly, calls the lights a “huge mothership.” While that’d 
be great, the chances are higher that this video shows something more 
banal. A group of drones? Probably. Military testing? Possibly, although
 the many military bases in North Carolina are much farther to the east 
along the coastal region of the state. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Why would experimental craft 
carry out exercises so far from protected airspace? For that matter, why
 would an alien mothership hover in the skies above a one-stoplight town
 far from major metropolitan areas?</span><br />

The TVC aspect of the engine increases the plane's angular velocity 
during flight by slightly repositioning the engine itself so as to 
manipulate the thrust created by the engine.<br />
J-10Cs feature a number of improvements over earlier versions, which 
include a Diverterless Supersonic Inlet, improved electronic warfare 
capabilities and an active electronically scanned array radar. <br />
The new developments will allow the J-10 to make more precise maneuvers 
in the air while giving pilots more control over altitude changes. The 
US' F-22 Raptor and the Su-30/35 family of aircraft make use of TVC 
as well.<br />
