Here at ChallengeCoins4Less.com, we have had the opportunity to work with a variety of distinguished customers. One of our most valued customers is NASA, a famed entity with a rather fascinating history. We take pride in being given the opportunity to create stellar challenge coins for NASA, so we decided to take a look at their unique history.
NASA was first established back in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act. It's primary reason for creation was a reaction to the Soviet Union's successful launch of its satellite, the Sputnik 1. "For The Benefit of All" is the agency's slogan, as it has been since its inception.
However, NASA's leading partner for the last generation has been its formal rival, Russia. While the agency does indeed partner with other nations, it goes to show that we can all get along when looking to the stars.
NASA is the only space agency to launch space missions to the outer solar system. Then in 2006, plans were announced by NASA to build a permanent moon base. While we're still awaiting confirmation on that, NASA continues to look for a new adventure in space.
NASA is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and not in Houston or Florida, as many believe. An interesting bit of information is that to date, NASA astronauts have brought back to Earth about 400 kilograms of lunar samples. The agency also hs a spacecraft on its way to Pluto for further exploration purposes.
NASA keeps its mission of reaching for the stars, learning, and advancing technology along the way. However, when it comes to its custom challenge coins, the agency finds ChallengeCoins4Less.com out of this world.
The chance to produce NASA challenge coins is incredible, and we appreciate the opportunity to serve the men and women of the premier space program on Earth.

It is a stylized fact that growth shocks in major economies generate the world business cycle, which is usually extracted from dynamic factor models. We utilize a trade-linked SVAR model with a realistic identification scheme to capture the transmission mechanism, covering 60 major economies and the rest of the world. We show that the SVAR structure provides a meaningful economic foundation to factor-modelbased statistical analyses. In addition, the SVAR model shows the important role played by indirect multiplier channels in the transmission mechanism and how these effects change over time. Specific attention is paid to the transmission of US and China growth shocks.

John Oliver explains why the Apple encryption debate matters
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
- TV Show
Apple is currently embroiled in a debate with the federal government about whether the company should build software to get around encryption. It may all sound very technical, but as John Oliver pointed out on Sunday, the debate could have far-reaching effects on Americans' relationship to technology.
The federal government currently possesses the iPhone used by one of the people responsible for the San Bernardino, California mass shooting earlier this year, but have no way to access its information. Officials want Apple to design a software that would allow them to bypass the phone's encryption. Oliver pointed out this could set a dangerous precedent, and chided supporters of the federal government for thinking about the case too simplistically. The NYPD's John Miller, for instance, has said that Apple should crack this code then "tear that formula up, toss it in the fire place and throw it away."
"Oh come on, you know Apple is not writing its code on paper next to a fire place," Oliver said. "They're a cutting-edge technology company, not Lord Grantham."
Oliver did, however, blame Apple for some of the misunderstanding — specifically, their overenthusiastic ads that make it seem like the company can do anything. To fix this mistake, Oliver designed a more honest Apple ad, starring Eugene Mirman as a creepy hacker named Gary.
"We're barely one step ahead of hackers at all times," Oliver's fake Siri voiceover said. "So that when you idiots lose your phone, your information doesn't wind up in the hands of guys like Gary."
"Now I can masturbate to photos of your family," Gary said.
The commercial also used the Apple Watch, the Newton, "that one Mac that looks like a toaster," and U2's free download Songs of Innocence as proof that the company is far from perfect. Their employees are "engineers, not wizards," and there's no way they could give the federal government what it's asking for without compromising everyone else's personal security — especially since encryption programs are so plentiful, it might not even affect the terrorists.
Watch the full clip below.

re: 6 Mistakes You Might Be Making As A New Web Developer & How To Avoid Them VIEW POST
Great article.
One thing I always mention to people though is to never ignore the things you talk about! It's all too common for new developers to try and avoid JQuery and Bootstrap all together, but you are going to likely come across one of them at some point working on legacy code bases.
