中國空軍傳出表演時失事墜機，造成一死一傷，死者是中國第一位殲10女飛官余旭。 綜合媒體報導，中國八一空軍表演隊今（2016 11月 12日）在天津進行飛行表演時，戰機發生事故墜落到河北玉田縣境，機上兩名飛行員跳傘逃脫，前座飛行員跳傘後只受輕傷，但坐在後座的余旭跳傘時擦撞僚機副翼，當場死亡。 on.cc     中國空軍傳出表演時失事墜機，造成一死一傷，死者是中國第一位殲10女飛官余旭，消息在微博上傳開。     余旭年僅30歲，為中國空軍八一飛行表演隊中隊長。被稱譽為中國空軍的「金孔雀」，也是中國唯四具有表演機飛行資格的女飛行員之一。（圖擷取自網路） 事發後消息在微博上傳開，多名航空界人士及余旭的好友證實死者是女飛官余旭，香港《星島日報》、北京《青年報》也轉載相關訊息，但中國官方媒體尚未證實或說明此事。

今年第三季度发射天宫二号。神舟十一号飞船将乘载两名男航天员 景海鵬和陳冬，与天宫二号完成对接，并在太空驻留30天。今年的载人航天任务将进入应用发展新阶段，在天宫二号上进行多项实验。 “在完成和神舟十一号飞船的交会对接和空间科学实验后，天宫二号还将在2017年上半年验证天舟一号货运飞船的对接和资源补给技术。” 植物生长实验：水稻和拟南芥 今年下半年 2016年 10 月17日 发射升空的天宫二号空间实验室，将开展包括植物生长全周期实验在内的多项科学实验。 “未来太空探索需要人类长期在太空生活。为了探索太空闭环生态系统技术，天宫二号将进行‘从种子到种子’的植物全生育发展过程实验。目前，计划种植水稻、拟南芥两种植物，考察长日照和短日照的不同生长情况。” 中国创举：从天宫分发量子密钥 “空间实验室任务的各次飞行都安排了多项空间科学实验和技术试验项目。”例如天地量子密钥传输试验、激光通信试验等，在信息安全领域有着广泛的应用前景。 这些项目中，大多是当前世界最前沿的探索领域。比如，空间冷原子钟的实验。天宫二号将搭载全球第一台冷原子钟，利用太空微重力条件，稳定度高达10的负16次方。超高精度的原子钟是卫星导航等领域的关键核心技术。再比如三维成像微波高度计，能够在一个宽幅的三维海平面测量中，得到精度优于5厘米的测量结果，将海浪高低测量出来…… “中国一直本着和平开发利用太空的原则，欢迎并致力于国际合作。”天宫二号将搭载中国科学院与瑞士日内瓦大学联合研制的伽马暴探测设备。这台设备比过去国际上类似仪器的探测效率高数十倍。中欧科学家将一起测量宇宙的伽马暴射线和散射状态，从而研究揭示宇宙结构、起源、演化的一些问题。 除此之外，天宫二号还将开展材料制备试验，研究纳米复合光学材料、高性能热电转换材料、高性能合金材料等。 长征七号首飞：搭载新一代载人飞船返回舱 我国无毒低污染新一代中型运载火箭长征七号将于今年6月首飞。它将搭载一个新型缩小比例的飞船返回舱，这是我国载人航天的创新探索项目。一次发射任务囊括试验火箭和飞船返回舱两个新品，这是我国载人航天工程勇于担当、节约高效、跨越发展理念的生动诠释。 长征七号运载火箭2017年将发射我国首款货运飞船天舟一号，它的研发成功标志着我国进入空间能力得到大幅提升，这将为我国从航天大国到航天强国添加精彩一笔。 神舟十一号飞船将乘...

New York has obtained a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that shows that the plane’s captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances. The revelation, which Malaysia withheld from a lengthy public report on the investigation, is the strongest evidence yet that Zaharie made off with the plane in a premeditated act of mass   murder-suicide.   MH370's presumed flight path is in yellow. Zaharie's simulated suicide flight is in red. The document presents the findings of the Malaysian police’s investigation into Zaharie. It reveals that after the plane disappeared in March of 2014, Malaysia turned over to the FBI hard drives that Zaharie used to record sessions on an elaborate home-built flight simulator. The FBI was able to recover six deleted ...

作為李錦記第四代傳人，李惠中這一輩五兄弟姊妹，在李錦記集團內現時各有自己清晰的分工。不過，富不過三代是許多商業世家的宿命，作為大家長的李文達看到很多家族企業的衰敗都是源於內鬥，於是苦心孤詣設計了一系列家規，包括家族憲法、家族委員會。 李惠中解釋，父親李文達經歷過兩次家變，不想歷史重演，於是痛定思痛未雨綢繆。 六七十年代的香港經歷六七暴動及石油危機，李錦記由創辦人李錦裳的三房後人共同經營。三房人對於香港前景及家族事業的看法截然不同，李文達在父親李兆南的支持下，收購另外兩房的股權。在過程中伴隨着種種的不愉快，關於股權的估值，以及支付條件的約定，都傷了和氣。 第二次家變 兄弟鬩牆 當李錦記在李文達的操持下生意蒸蒸日上時，萬沒有想到再次遭遇家變。這次家變的導火線是李文達的親弟弟李文樂1987年被確診患上鼻咽癌，病重的李文樂提出分家，而且還要清算股權。當時李錦記正在興建大埔廠房，處於發展的關鍵時期。李文達和弟弟協商，提出不要分家。但是幾次溝通都不成功。最後兩兄弟還為了股權到底是六四或是五五分而對薄公堂。 「兩次分家給了我們很大的教訓。」李惠中表示，為了分家悲劇不再重演，李錦記於2002年成立家族委員會，這是家族的溝通平台及最高權力機構、「立法」機構，最初由李文達夫婦及五名子女組成，後來陸續加入第五代成員。 李惠中說：「在這裏，我們不談企業，只研究家族本身的問題。」家族會議第一天主要是「以fun為主」，透過兄妹共讀、高爾夫球等活動，增加彼此了解，後幾天則商量重大家族事宜。 為什麼這麼重視家族呢？「家族可以傳承，企業才得以承傳。如果每個家族成員都湧去管生意，那會產生問題。」 李惠中透露了家族委員會及家族憲法的細節。憲法中有些條文很有趣，其中包括第五代家族成員開始，必須在外面的公司任職三至五年才能加入公司。股權的轉讓，必須在有血緣關係成員之間進行。 不過，為了要與時並進，家族憲法沒有定得很死，只要75%成員投票通過，就可增加及修訂。至於一般的事項則超過五成的票數就可以通過，如果贊成與反對的票數相同，則以擲骰子的方式來決定。 李惠中透露，家族已買了一個骰盅以備不時之需，幸好暫時還未需要動用。「向左或向右都不要緊，因為至少也向前邁出一步，最怕是僵局。」 5/11/2016

blockchain : is a distributed database that maintains a continuously-growing list of records called blocks secured from tampering and revision. A blockchain consists of a number of blocks that are linked with each other with each block linked with its previous block. And, each block consists of a batch of timestamped transactions and a hash of previous block. As the blocks are linked with each other forming a chain, hence the name of the database. When new transactions are broadcast to all nodes, each node collect the transactions in a block. All the nodes verify the transactions present in the block and notify one another about their acceptance. When the majority of the nodes agree, the next block is created, linking it with the previous one. The blockchain is a core component of the digital currency bitcoin—conceived in 2008 and first implemented in 2009— where it serves as the public ledger for all transactions. In the bitcoin case, every compatible client is able to c...

from ATSB on 2 Nov, 2016 Additional analysis of the burst frequency offsets associated with the final satellite communications to and from the aircraft is consistent with the aircraft being in a high and increasing rate of descent at that time .(end-of-flight scenario) Additionally, the wing flap debris analysis reduced the likelihood of end-of-flight scenarios involving flap deployment. Preliminary results of the CSIRO’s drift analysis indicated it was unlikely that debris originated from south of the current search area . The northernmost simulated regions were also found to be less likely. Drift analysis work is ongoing and is expected to refine these results.

Excellent experiment and documentation from Njal Brekke that on Canon 1100D Cooling the sensor below 0 °C gives virtually no improvement in noise level, even for ISO1600 and 10 minute exposures. At exposure times shorter than 60 s the read-out (bias) noise is dominating, and the dark noise has negligible contribution to the total image noise. Cooling to a modest 10 °C should therefore sufficient to eliminate dark/thermal noise at exposure values shorter than about 180 s. At exposures longer than 180 s, cooling the sensor to 0 °C is sufficient. This camera is using a 12.2 MP CMOS APS-C sensor. Sensitivity test from DXOMark

According to a person familiar with discussions between government agencies and Samsung, the SDI batteries from the first batch of Note 7s were indeed too large for the handset. The regulator also pointed to the battery design within the phone’s rounded edges. Dialog DA9155 charging chip, alongside the familiar MAXIM power IC. Importantly, this DA9155 does not appear to be found inside the Galaxy S7 or S7 edge. This chip is a slave charger that extends the current capabilities of a master power IC for increased charging currents up to an additional 2500mA . It’s controlled by the application processor (AP) and, interestingly, kicks in during the high-power constant current charging stage. A combination of causes “[Samsung] was too quick to blame the batteries; I think there was nothing wrong with them or that they were not the main problem,” – Park Chul-wan, former director of the Center for Advanced Batteries at the Korea...

Interesting discussion of open sourced VPU bootloader for Raspberry Pi from CNX Krista Brooks's GitHub and her blog, ,  raspi-internals and hacker news:    Actually, the bulk SDRAM/ARM work was done by me in the space of around month (though I only ARM to finally work three days ago with Herman's help). You could run Linux on ARM using this but you would need to write some more drivers, otherwise you'd be limited to pretty much GPIO/serial/SDHOST PIO. SDHOST is actually a fairly trivial interface to implement, I'm going to use it in my chainloader but I haven't had the time to look at it yet. from 6by9 The firmware is more than just the bootloader as it also provides the access to the bits of the SoC that Broadcom have chosen not to publish the docs for - things like the codec blocks, ISP, HVS, pixel valves, etc. Parts of that are being opened up via Eric Anholt's works but only in so far as his driver uses the blocks, but the documentatio...
