On July 16, 1957, then-Major Glenn set the transcontinental air speed record, flying a F8U-1 Crusader from NAS Los Alamitos to Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, in 3 hours, 23 minutes, and 8.4 seconds.
Project Bullet, as the mission was called, provided both the first transcontinental flight to average supersonic speed, and the first continuous transcontinental panoramic photograph of the United States.
Glenn was awarded his fifth Distinguished Flying Cross for the mission.
In 1958, Glenn joined Project Mercury.
He was the oldest of the seven pilots selected.
Although Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom flew in outer space before Glenn did, Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth, as neither of the previous two had made a full orbit.
He flew a Mercury spacecraft called Friendship 7.
His first words when reaching orbit were "Zero G and I feel fine."
He retired from NASA and the military after his flight.
He went into business.
He became an executive for Royal Crown Cola.
Glenn was friends with Robert F. Kennedy.
Kennedy, an Attorney General of the United States and US Senator, told Glenn he should run for office.
He planned on running for Senate in 1964, but an accident at home made him decide not to.
In 1974, he ran for Senate as a Democrat.
He defeated Senator Howard Metzenbaum in the primary.
Glenn later beat Ralph J. Perk in the general election.
He was reelected to the Senate in 1980.
In 1984, he ran for President but the Democratic nomination went to Walter Mondale.
Glenn was a popular senator and was re-elected several more times.
In 1998, Glenn flew on the .
He is the oldest person to fly in space and the only sitting US Senator to fly in space.
He retired from the Senate in 1999.
He helped set up the John Glenn School of Public affairs at Ohio State University.
President Barack Obama gave him the Medal of Freedom in 2012.
On April 6, 1943, Glenn married his childhood sweetheart, Anna Margaret Castor.
They had met in New Concord and played together in the school band.
Glenn lived in Columbus, Ohio with his wife.
On December 8, 2016, Glenn died at a medical center after suffering from a "serious medical condition" in Columbus.

Super OS (formerly: Super Ubuntu) is a free Linux distribution.
It is a modified version of Ubuntu made with reconstructor.
Its main goal is to provide an ‘Out of the Box’ experience, containing various enhancements over Ubuntu.
It has the goal of remaining compatible with Ubuntu.
Includes an easy way to run executable files and scripts.
Multimedia support: It is prepackaged with support for MP3 files and video-DVDs.
Internet codecs: It includes an additional web browser (Opera), Adobe Flash Player, and more communication software (aMSN and Skype).
Additional software: It also includes, Wine, the GUI for Uncomplicated Firewall, and other software installed by default.
Tools and software
App Runner
App Runner is a script included in Super OS that allows any kind of executable or script to be launched without having to use the command line.
App Runner was also subject of an article by Lifehacker, saying "App Runner would come in handy" and "there's plenty of scripts and closed-source apps that this would be useful for".
There is also a Windows tool called cd2usb to create Ubuntu and Super OS Live USBs.
The program is already included in the DVD of Super OS.
RUNZ Framework
The RUNZ Framework  is a tool that allows the use of portable apps and something called SuperDebs (an installer with a .deb file + its dependencies that can be installed offline) in Super OS.
It is already included in Super OS 9.04 SP 0.1+
Software repository
In addition to the official Ubuntu repositories, Super OS also includes its own repositories, which include third-party software like Adobe Reader, Skype, Real Player, TrueCrypt, PeaZip, Google Chrome or Ubuntu calendar, but also include tools/software developed by hacktolive, like App Runner and RUNZ.
Reception and adoption
Super OS has been received mainly with positive reviews, with softpedia saying "it is a distribution with super powers […] [due to] the inclusion of applications, tools and technologies that are missing from a standard Ubuntu".
Super OS (still with the name Super Ubuntu at the time), was also Lifehacker's featured download saying "It's basically just a re-compiled version of the official Ubuntu distribution, but with a whole bunch of features included that save you the time of grabbing them yourself".
Super OS is also the OS that the Helios project  (a non-profit organization to give away computers to children without the money to buy them) pre-loads on most of the computers they give away. ,
Super OS is in the top 100 of the page hit ranking of DistroWatch,.

Sahelanthropus tchadensis is a fossil hominid.
From evidence at the fossil site in Chad in the African Sahel, it is thought to have lived about 7 million years ago.
The split of the line into humans and chimpanzees (known as human-chimpanzee divergence) probably happened between 6.3 and 5.4 million years ago.
This can be seen from genetic data.
Because the fossil is older than this spilt, its status is unclear.
The first fossil found is known as Toumaï today.
Some fossils, a cranium (skull), five pieces of jaw, and some teeth, make up a head that has features that are like both modern and primitive humans.
The braincase is only 340 cm³ to 360 cm³ in volume, about the same as chimpanzees.
It is much less than the human volume of about 1350 cm³.
The teeth and structure of the face are very different from Homo sapiens.
The cranium found is damaged, it is very distorted, so no 3D computer reconstruction has been made.
There are no bones other than parts of the skull.
It is unknown if Sahelanthropus tchadensis was bipedal (walked on two legs).
The placement of the foramen magnum suggests they were, though.
Its canine wear is similar to other Miocene apes.
Relationship to modern humans and great apes
Sahelanthropus may be an ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees; no consensus has been reached yet by the scientific community.
The difficulty is caused by its "mosaic of primitive and derived features".
Probably it lived in semi-open woodland and savannah, rather than the rainforest of present-day apes.
Another possibility is that Toumaï is related to both humans and chimpanzees, but is the ancestor of neither.
Brigitte Senut and Martin Pickford, the discoverers of Orrorin tugenensis, suggested that the features of S. tchadensis are consistent with a female proto-gorilla.
Even if this claim is upheld, the find would still be significant, for at present few chimpanzee or gorilla ancestors have been found anywhere in Africa.
Thus, if S. tchadensis is an ancestral relative of the chimpanzees (or gorillas), it represents the first known member of their lineage.
Furthermore, S. tchadensis does indicate that the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is unlikely to resemble chimpanzees very much, as had been previously supposed by some paleontologists.
Possiblility of much earlier split
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the baboon Papio hamadryas was sequenced and included in a molecular analysis of 24 complete mammalian mtDNAs.
The aim of the study was to time the divergence between the Old World monkeys (Cercopithidae) and the Hominoidea.
That divergence, at 30 million years ago (mya), was a reference point for the split between chimpanzee, and Homo at 5 mya.
In the later study by Arnason and colleagues, two independent nonprimate molecular references were used.
These two references  suggested that the Cercopithecoidea/Hominoidea divergence took place >50 mya.
Also, all hominoid divergences receive a much earlier dating.
Thus, the estimated date of the divergence between Pan (chimpanzee) and Homo is 1013 mya and that between Gorilla and the Pan/Homo linage approximately 17 mya.
The same datings were obtained in an analysis of clocklike evolving genes.

Murray Langston (born 1945, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a Canadian comedian and writer.
His television work includes The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, Make Me Laugh, and The Gong Show.
Langston is best known, oddly enough, as The Unknown Comic – a comedian who appears onstage wearing a paper bag over his head.
He first appeared as the Unknown Comic on The Gong Show.
He did not want his true identity known, because an appearance on an amateur show could have hurt his comedy career, when he was already well-known.
Audiences liked the Unknown Comic, and Langston began to appear as that character on other shows, and in live performances.
In time, Langston was as famous for the character as for himself.
When he was finally unmasked in public (on a television show called Real People), the two careers became one.
Langston has performed both as himself and as the Unknown Comic ever since.
The term Australopithecine ('australos' for short) refers to any species in the related genera  Australopithecus or  Paranthropus.
These genera occurred in the Pliocene–Pleistocene era, and were bipedal.
The arrangement of their teeth, especially the dental arcade, was similar to humans.
They did not have the large canine teeth characteristic of present-day apes.
They had a brain size not much larger than modern apes, lacking the large brain of the genus Homo.
They were mainly bipedal, but probably capable of climbing and living at least partly in trees.
Their arms were longer in proportion to their bodies, and this also suggests their inherited capacity to move above the ground.
The efficiency of their walking is difficult to estimate, but they were not so well adapted to bipedalism as humans.
The males were much larger than the females, which suggests a family arrangement with a dominant male and several females, as with modern apes.
Nothing is known for certain about their use of tools.
Australopithecus, about four million years ago (mya)
Paranthropus, about 2.7 mya
When used alone, the term refers to both genera together.
Australopithecus is sometimes referred to as the "gracile (slender) australopithecines", while Paranthropus are also called the "robust australopithecines".
Kenyanthropus (3.5 to 3.2) mya is either a separate genus of australos, or a species of Australopithecus.
Ardipithecus (5.6 and 4.4) mya, is a Miocene hominin.
It had a grasping big toe, and therefore could live in trees as well as on the ground.
The term "facultative biped" is used.
Sahelanthropus, also a Miocene hominin, lived about seven million years ago (mya).
The relationships of this species to the australos is unclear.
Orrorin, at 6.1 to 5.7 mya is known from 20 pieces of bone, and its relationships are unclear.
Orrorin is both earlier, by almost 3 million years, and more similar to modern humans than is A. afarensis.
The main similarity is that the Orrorin femur is morphologically closer to that of H. sapiens than is Lucy's; there is, however, some debate over this point.
A likely ancestor of the australopithecines is the Ardipithecus genus, which lived in East Africa.
The genus Homo (humans), appears about 2.4 million years ago with Homo habilis.
Australos moved into mixed savannah/woodland habitats as the climate cooled in the later Miocene.
This explains their adaptations to walking or walking plus climbing.
It also explains the changes to their diet and teeth, though not in detail.
The great increase in brain size of modern man began with the genus Homo: it did not start with the australos.

African rainy periods are associated with a "wet Sahara" phase, during which larger lakes and more rivers exist.
This causes changes in the type of animals found in the area.
During the periods of a wet Sahara, the Sahara and Arabia become a savanna grassland and African flora and fauna become common.
During the following dry period, the Sahara reverts to desert conditions usually as a result of the retreat of the West African Monsoon southwards.
Evaporation exceeds precipitation, the level of water in lakes like Lake Chad falls, and rivers become dry wadis.
Flora and fauna previously widespread retreat northwards to the Atlas Mountains, southwards into West Africa, or eastwards into the Nile Valley and thence either south-east to the Ethiopian Highlands and Kenya or north-east across the Sinai into Asia.
This separates populations of some of the species in areas with different climates, forcing them to adapt, possibly giving rise to speciation (species splitting).

Indie pop is a genre of alternative rock which originated in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.
Originally and often still a form of independent music, it is closely associated with indie rock, both genres are similar, yet there are differences between both.
Indie rock tends to be edgier, rougher and harsher-sounding, contrasting the more melodious indie pop.
Indie pop additionally takes influences from 1960s girl group music and power pop, often giving it retro elements, and makes usage of jangly guitars.
In 1986, British music magazine NME released a cassette called C86, which included indie pop and indie rock music; the artists in C86 made music which was described by About.com as "a twee, amateurish form of home-made music drawing deeply from sunny '60s acts like The Byrds and the Velvet Underground."
Early indie pop bands include The Shop Assistants or The Pastels.
More recent bands in the genre include Point blank, Travis, The Research and Maritime.
Travis are a Scottish Indie pop rock band.
They have released many albums including The Man Who, The Invisible band and  The Boy with No Name.
Their latest album was released in September of 2013 and is called Where You Stand
They are best known for their single "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?"
from their 1999 release The Man Who.

This page is about speech problems, the album can be found at Hands All Over
Stuttering or stammering is a problem of speech disorder some people have when they speak.
Five to six percent of children have a stammer while one percent of adults have a stammer.
Men are 4 times more likely to have a stammer than women.
Stammers normally start at 2-6 years and run in families.
The person knows what they want to say but the flow of their speech is ‘bumpy’ and may have some of the following features:
Repetitions (of sounds, parts of words or phrases)
Blocks (stops before words)
Prolongations (making a sound longer, e.g.hhhhhhhhhham instead of ham)
Pauses
Rephrasing (saying something else instead)
Hesitations (struggling to say words)
Fillers (using key phrases such as ‘you know what I mean’ to hide their difficulties)
Tension (the muscles in their face and neck look tight)
Facial or body movements
Feelings and attitudes
Stammering can be very upsetting and knock a person's confidence.
Joseph Sheehan compared stuttering to an iceberg, with the bumpy parts you can hear (overt parts) of stuttering above the waterline, and the larger block of how the person feels (covert parts) invisible below the surface.
These people may feel embarrassment, shame, frustration, fear, anger, and guilt.
These feelings may increase stress and effort making the person stammer more.
Such negative feelings may be an important part of a treatment program.
Fluency shaping therapy
This therapy is also known as "speak more fluently", "prolonged speech" or "connected speech."
It trains stutterers to speak fluently (without the ‘bumpy bits’) by controlling their breathing and how they move their lips, jaw, and tongue.
Stutterers are trained to slow down their speaking rate by stretching vowels and consonants.
Other methods include soft speech contacts.
This helps to make very slow but non bumpy speech used only in the speech clinic.
To make more normal sounding speech for daily life speed of speech is increased.
Many people find their speech does not sound natural at the end of therapy.
Fluency shaping approaches are normally taught in groups therapy programs, which may take two to three weeks to complete.
More recently the Camperdown program, using a much shorter schedule, has been shown to work well.
Stuttering modification therapy
The goal of stuttering modification therapy is not to get rid of stuttering but to change it so that stuttering is easier and less stressful.
As fear and worry make people stutter by getting rid of these feelings stuttering will decrease.
The most widely known approach was made by Charles Van Riper in 1973 and is also known as block modification therapy.
Stuttering modification therapy has four stages:
In the first stage, called identification, the stutterer and speech and language therapist work out the core behaviours, secondary behaviors, and feelings that make the stuttering.
In the second stage, called desensitization, the stutterer works to reduce fear and anxiety.
This is done by freezing stuttering behaviors, confronting difficult sounds, words and situations, and stuttering on purpose ("voluntary stuttering").
In the third stage, called modification, the stutterer learns "easy stuttering."
This is done by "cancellations" (stopping in a stammer, waiting a few moments, and saying the word again); "pull-outs," or pulling out of a stammer into ‘normal’ speech; and "preparatory sets," or looking ahead for words they may stutter on, and using "easy stuttering" on those words.
In the fourth stage, called stabilization, the stutterer prepares practice assignments, makes preparatory sets and pull-outs automatic, and changes how they feel about themselves from being a person who stutters to being a person who speaks fluently but who sometimes stutters mildly.
Famous stutterers
There were many famous stutterers:

Life expectancy is how long a person is expected to live.
It is based on many factors such as country and life style including smoking, diet, and exercise.
There are great changes in life expectancy between different parts of the world, mostly caused by differences in public health, medical care and diet.
Much of the excess mortality (higher death rates) in poorer nations is due to war, not enough food, and medical conditions or diseases (AIDS, Malaria, etc.).
Over the past 200 years, countries with black or African populations have generally not had the same improvements in mortality rates that have been enjoyed by other peoples.
Even in countries with a majority of white people, such as USA, Britain, Ireland and France, black people tend to have shorter life expectancies than their white counterparts (although the statistics are often not analysed by race).
For example, in the U.S. white Americans are expected to live until age 79, but African Americans only until age 75 (as of the year 2013).
Climate may also have an effect, and the way data is collected may also influence the figures.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Macau has the world's longest life expectancy of 84.4 years.
There are also significant differences in life expectancy between men and women in most countries, with women typically outliving men by around five years.
Economic circumstances also affect life expectancy.
For example, in the United Kingdom, life expectancy in the expensive areas like Kensington is several years longer than in the poorest areas such as Glasgow.
This may reflect factors such as diet and lifestyle as well as access to medical care.
It may also reflect a selective effect: people with chronic life-threatening illnesses are less likely to become wealthy or to live in expensive areas.

Claron McFadden (born 1961) is an American soprano singer.
She became known because she sang in the opera Lulu by Alban Berg, at Glyndebourne Festival Opera.
Demosthenes (384–322 BC, , Dēmosthénēs) was a well-known Greek statesman and orator from ancient Athens.
His speeches show the height of classical Athenian skill at speaking.
They also show us lots about the politics and culture of ancient Greece during the 4th century BC.
Demosthenes learned rhetoric by studying the speeches of previous great orators.
He delivered his first law court speeches when he was twenty.
He argued effectively to gain from his guardians what was left of his inheritance.
For a time, Demosthenes made his living as a professional speech-writer and a lawyer, writing speeches for use in private legal suits.
Demosthenes grew interested in politics during the time he wrote speeches for others.
In 354 BC he gave his first public political speeches.
He went on to devote his most productive years to opposing Macedon's expansion.
He idealized his city and tried throughout his life to restore Athens' supremacy and motivate the rest of the Athenians against Philip II of Macedon.
He sought to preserve his city's freedom and to establish an alliance against Macedon, in an unsuccessful attempt to impede Philip's plans to expand his influence southwards by conquering all the Greek states.
After Philip's death, Demosthenes played a leading part in his city's uprising against the new King of Macedon, Alexander the Great.
However, his efforts failed and the revolt was met with a harsh Macedonian reaction.
To prevent a similar revolt against his own rule, Alexander's successor, Antipater, sent his men to track Demosthenes down.
Demosthenes took his own life, in order to avoid being arrested by Archias, Antipater's confidant.
The Alexandrian Canon compiled by Aristophanes of Byzantium and Aristarchus of Samothrace recognized Demosthenes as one of the ten greatest Attic orators and speech writers.
According to Longinus, Demosthenes "perfected to the utmost the tone of lofty speech, living passions, copiousness, readiness, speed".
Cicero acclaimed him as "the perfect orator" who lacked nothing, and Quintilian extolled him as "lex orandi" ("the standard of oratory") and that "inter omnes unus excellat" ("he stands alone among all the orators").

A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling.
Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer.
A popular variation of the joystick used on modern video game consoles is the analog stick.
Joysticks are also used for controlling machines such as cranes, trucks, underwater unmanned vehicles and zero turning radius lawn mowers.
Miniature finger-operated joysticks have been adopted as input devices for smaller electronic equipment such as mobile phones.

It is the Arabic style of Caliphs and other independent sovereign Muslim rulers that claim legitimacy from a community of Muslims.
It has been claimed as the title of rulers in Muslim countries and empires and is still used for some Muslim leaders.
Abu Bakr, the First Rashidun Caliph, is not reported to have ever conferred this title.
He had the title of Khalifa Rasulullah rather than Amir al-Mu'minin.
On his accession in 634, Umar ibn Khattab, the Second Rashidun Caliph, was given the title.
According to At-Tabaqat al Kubra, When Abu Bakr died, Muslims of the time said: “We are the Mu'minin (Believers/Faithful) and Umar is our Amir (Commander).”
After this, the title Amir al-Mu'minin was held by Umar ibn Khattab who was also the first caliph to be given this title.
Some Shia Muslims claim that Amir al-Mu'minin was used for Ali during Muhammads era.
It has also been adopted by various Caliphs of the succeeding Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties, as well as by some contemporary Arab monarchs.
Defunct offices that officially used this title

The Taliban leader Mohammed Omar took the title while he was in control of Afghanistan.
