Sun will destroy all satelite in 2014

HOUSTON -  NASA says that in 2013 the sun will awaken and destroy all satellites
NASA recently published a frightening report.   According to NASA astronomers, in 2014, after years of hibernation, the Sun will wake up and Earth will suffer some deadly consequences, including global failure all satellite communications.
In his report, Defense Secretary Liam Fox noted that the perfect electromagnetic storm will lead to a technogenic disaster on Earth. He cited recent statistics which indicate that the surface temperature of hot stars is rapidly increasing.
Solar storms will generate a great level of radiation that will affect the Earth’s magnetic field. This could prove to be a collapse for the humanity – trains and planes will stop, GPS-navigation will be affected, mobile and radio networks will disappear.
As Liam Fox stressed in his address, the society is too dependent on technology, and this makes it very vulnerable. Natural protectors of Earth will simply not cope with the “riot” of the Sun, which will lead to the failure of all computers. Also, due to solar activity banking system can be affected.  Astronomers fear complete chaos in world financial markets..
Failures in electric power around the world can stretch from hours to several months. However, negative consequences of this outbreak can be minimized if we prepare for the collapse in advance.
Scientists have been investigating solar activity for 11 years. Previous years have been rather quiet. But, according to experts, this is the calm before this storm. Rings of fire, ready to escape from the surface of the Sun in the near future, are equal to a hundred hydrogen bombs in terms of power. If their destructive power reaches Earth, it will cause great economic losses. According to preliminary estimates, they will be 20 times greater than the damage from the famous Hurricane Katrina.
For information: solar flares are the most powerful of all manifestations of solar activity. The energy of a large solar flare reaches 1032 erg, which is approximately 100 times greater than the thermal energy that could be obtained by burning all known oil and coal reserves on Earth.
Strongest corpuscular flow perturbs the magnetic field of our planet, resulting in very fast and strong change its characteristics. Particles moving at speeds of 400-1000 km / s, reach earth’s atmosphere within a day or two. This process is called magnetic storm.
It has long been known that solar flares provoke magnetic storms on Earth. In those days, doctors ask weather-sensitive people to be careful and avoid stress, both physical and emotional, because such cosmic phenomena increase the risk of cardiac diseases. It was observed that 13% of cases of myocardial infarction occur during magnetic storms.
Typically, these storms are accompanied by disturbances of the ionosphere, which in particular leads to interruptions in radio communication. Solar flares are a frequent and quite serious phenomenon. It is accompanied by a surge of electromagnetic radiation that can cause irreparable harm to our planet.
In 2002, NASA satellite recorded a giant flare on the Sun. It caused the formation of prominence whose diameter is 30 times greater than Earth’s. Scientists said that we were lucky: there was no release of energy in the direction of our planet. Otherwise, the emission of such a force would have lead to significant distortions in the magnetic field.
In November of 2003 there was another powerful flare that brought down a Japanese communications satellite Kodama, which was first transferring clearly wrong information, and then disconnected. This ejection of stellar matter was the third largest on record. Let us see what 2013 has in store for us.

How Nelson Mandela won over his jailers

JOHANNESBURG – If you wonder how Nelson Mandela changed a nation, Afrikaner Christo Brandt might have the answer.
"Mandela became like a father to me," Brandt said.
Growing up, Brandt never questioned the oppression of apartheid. At 18, he was a guard at Robben Island, the harsh prison where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years behind bars.
Brandt was told he'd be guarding the worst of the worst.
"I asked the sergeant, 'What are these criminals in for?' He said, 'Many are terrorists who tried to kill our children on the border.'"
But Brandt came to know Mandela as a kindly gentleman, the prison peacemaker. For years he was assigned to oversee the few family visits Mandela was allowed. 
One day Mandela’s wife Winnie came to visit with their new granddaughter. Babies were not allowed on Robben Island. Putting his job on the line, Brandt smuggled the baby in, wrapped in a blanket, and put her in the arms of her granddad.
"I give him the baby and he takes the baby and he was shivering a little bit and he's got some tears in his eyes," Brandt siad. "He was quite emotional at that point."
A friendship was born. When Mandela became president, he gave Brandt a job at the Capitol. When Brandt's son was killed in a car accident, Mandela was the first to phone him.
"When he phoned me, you could feel he was half part of my family," said Brandt.

Rory Steyn, a tough Afrikaner cop, says he came to admire Nelson Mandela.

 The same transformation happened to Rory Steyn. He was a tough Afrikaner cop who enforced apartheid's tough laws. Yet President Mandela tapped him to lead his security detail. "And who was I? I was just a dispensable white cop. If there was an issue, any doubts, just get rid of him. There's a whole queue of guards waiting to take his position. And he chose not to do that. Go figure," said Steyn.
The prisoner he once despised became the president he admired. Steyn believes Mandela's policy of reconciliation and healing lifted up the country many feared would fall into racial war.
"We could have been down the road of Syria or Afghanistan by now and we're not. And we have him to thank for that," Steyn said.
When he heard of Mandela’s death, the tough cop cried.
"The first emotion was a profound sense of loss and sadness," Steyn said.
Just like many South Africans this week, he was crying for the man who changed the nation.
