| #BelieveSurvivors Walkout Participants Show Support for Kavanaugh's Accusers
|
 Supporters of sexual assault survivors walked out of their homes and workplaces Monday to call attention to allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The #BelieveSurvivors walkout was organized by dozens of social justice groups to show support for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, the two women who have accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Since she went public with her claim earlier this month, Ford has been accused of lying and has received death threats. Kavanaugh denied all claims, saying in a statement that he looks forward to testifying before the Senate on Thursday and "defending my good name--and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building." Participants in Monday's walkout wore black and left their homes and workplaces at 1 pm. The main event took place in Washington D.C., where protesters gathered in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium, raised their fists, and demanded that senators reject Kavanaugh's ...

Coincidentally, it's also a venue where virtual reality companies see an opportunity to open people to a world of VR content.

If you're sitting in coach, sadly the good virtual life is out of reach as the service is only being rolled out to first class passengers seated on the Alaska Airlines Seattle-Boston and Boston-San Diego routes. The new "Allosky" hardware is ...

|
 То, чего так долго ждали, появилось 17 сентября — это документальные доказательства того факта, что ракета, сбившая малайзийский Boeing более четырех лет назад, — из арсенала Украины. Минобороны России раскрыло и опубликовало документы под грифом "Совершенно секретно". Все отправлено в Нидерланды международной следственной группе. Новые доказательства опрокидывают обвинения в адрес России. 24 мая в Нидерландах совместная следственная группа проводит брифинг, демонстрирует фрагменты ракеты, сбившей Boeing, и публикует номера компонентов: 9Д-13105000 — это сопловой блок и 8869032 — двигатель ракеты комплекса "Бук". Имея такие исходные данные, Министерство обороны Российской Федерации устанавливает заводской номер ракеты и ее бортовой номер. Она изготовлена на Долгопрудненском машиностроительном производственном объединении еще в 1986 году. "В соответствии с записью в формуляре на двигатель в тот же день он был установлен на ракету 9М-38 с заводским серийным номером 8868720. Двигатель с заводским номером ...
