1. It is precision flying at low speed and a high angle of attack. It is the definitive skill that sets Navy carrier pilots (and Air Force exchange pilots who have flown with a Navy carrier squadron) apart from all others. It's interesting to note that military uniforms have all sorts of badges and doodads to show that the wearer has qualified in this or that, but there is no doodad for carrier landings. They are included in the gold wings a naval aviator wears. It has been a very long time since I've made a carrier landing, ______________________________________________. But the principle remains the same: Fly the plane aboard the ship at the slowest speed at which it can be done safely.

Like any critical flying skill, it's something that is practiced over and over until it becomes second nature. Here's a secret about flying: When you start to learn something new, such as formation flying, instrument flying, gunnery, or dive-bombing, it's hard, scary, and it seems ____________________________________. That's why you practice. And practice and practice.

i. and in the interim, carriers and aircraft have gotten bigger and more sophisticated.

ii. like things happen way too fast, before you are ready

2. French physicists may have developed a way to blast to Mars using a 100 million times less fuel than a traditional rocket thruster. The scientific team is experimenting with the technology of the Hall thruster to potentially dramatically reduce energy and time for space exploration. The Hall thrusters (or ion thrusters) run on streaming plasma, which allows for the dramatic difference in energy reliance. There’s one catch though — ___________________________, leaving scientist racing to find ways to increase the launcher’s longevity (to put it in perspective, most space missions take around 50,000 hours).

Hall thrusters are already used in many of the satellites orbiting Earth at this moment. In an attempt ________________________________, the French scientists made a slight alteration to the current design that allows the anode (or gas distributor) to stay clear of the magnetic field. They’re hoping with a few more tweaks, we could potentially get to Mars with a lot less fuel.

i. to harness their efficiency for longer space flights

ii. the thruster only has a lifespan of about 10,000 hours before it goes kaput

C. Fill up the passage

In 1962 India was completely unprepared for the type of full-scale war which the Chinese launched. A "Forward Post Policy" is not the same as the declaration of war, unlike what those like Neville Maxwell who claim, "India started the war" would have you believe. It's a little odd here when people claim that a guy like Mao, who is generally regarded as one of the biggest mass murderers in history, along with Hitler and Stalin, _________________________________, who was a follower of the most famous proponent of peace in history.

Because she was unprepared for war, India only had 1-2 battalions along the entire border, and these were ill-trained for mountain warfare. China on the other hand had 15 battalions stationed in Tibet, ready for war. Thus the "war" was pretty lop-sided. ___________________, not knowing that the Chinese had come prepared for a gun fight.Now the thing to note is that ____________________________________. And post-1962 India substantially increased its preparedness along the Chinese border. So if China had to "teach India a lesson" because of the Chola incident, __________________________________ which India was now well prepared for.

This was probably also the reason why China did not attack India during the 1971 war with Pakistan. China was strongly against the formation of Bangladesh, and Nixon was very supportive of any Chinese pressure on India that would have helped Pakistan.

a. it would have meant another costly mobilization of resources all along the border for a war

b. the Indian border is a very remote location for the Chinese army to be positioned at for a long period of time

C. Now in the information era, destroying the enemy's productive capacity means destroying the information infrastructure.

D. How do you do battle with your enemy?

Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RSS) is a citizen journalism effort exposing human rights abuses by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also known as ISIL or DAESH) forces occupying the northern Syrian city of Raqqa. ISIL uses Raqqa as its de facto capital. RSS works to counter the suggestion _______________________________________ ISIL/DAESH.

The group has published firsthand accounts, videos and photos of life and war crimes in Raqqa through its Facebook page and website, other social media, and via interviews and furnishing material to media organizations worldwide. As a result, ________________________________ and major news outlets have done feature stories on the group. Since no foreign or domestic journalists can operate in Raqqa, the efforts of RSS provide unique insights.

According to an interview with Vice News, there were originally 17 members, who started out opposing the Syrian Government. When ISIL moved in to the city in April 2014 the group started the posting information about ISIL. One member who had fled Raqqa said "After we launched the campaign and posted a lot of crucifixions and executions on the news and Facebook and Twitter, they made three Friday sermons about us, saying we are infidels and we're against Allah and “we’ll catch them and we'll execute them." "We are 12 inside the city and four outside. Before the 12 inside the city were posting on Twitter and posting on Facebook, and talking to journalists, but it's very dangerous. So we decided to use a "secret room," and the people in the city post all the photos, the news, and everything, and the four that are out, we are posting it on the internet, Twitter, and Facebook, and talking to journalists. ___________________________, so we don't get captured."
