He says, when he walks into an area, criminals leave because they see the suit and do not want to seize him on.

He has already managed to stop a man breach into a car and possibly stealing it.
The would be victim, known as Dan, was walking back to his vehicle in a car park when he saw a man with a metal slip trying to open his car.


Dan said: "He started sticking it down between the window and the rubber stripe."
Dan began to call 911, but said help arrived before he even ended dialling.


He explained, "From the right, this guy comes stylish in, wearing this skin-tight rubber, black and gold suit, and starts chasing him away."


Phoenix is not the only costume clad crime warrior in Seattle.
There are other eight members of his Rain City Super hero group who also walk the streets, looking out for crime and ready to fight it.


Since Phoenix started his movement nine months ago, he has been stabbed and was exposed with a gun several times, but received no serious injuries.


Unfortunately still he did not find the man who was breaking into Dan's car.
"I symbolize that the average person doesn't have to walk around and see bad things and do nothing."

They have recently unveiled the SCENICC (Soldier Centric Imaging via Computational Cameras) or Soldier Centric Imaging via Computational Cameras.













Thankfully for our men and women in identical, it won't absorb embedding a T-101 optical array under their eyes. SCENICC takes the form of a helmet mounted specs which will provide the soldiers with 10x stereoscopic zoom and a full 360-degree viewing angle.

The future developments include augmented reality displays that will immediately notice muzzle flashes, identify friend-or-foe and mission overlays. So tomorrow's soldiers will wage war as if they are playing the latest Call of Duty?

Women Who Motivated A Proud 'Alpha Girl' Attorney

Stefanie J. Sundel

She is a conceited "alpha girl “of Gen Y and a lawsuit associate in a Manhattan-based law firm. I grew up with the fruits of feminism and am fortunate to collect the plums of my grandmother's and mother's years in the well-known trenches. When it comes to mentor, I am well-nourished by the know-how of more skillful, talented women in the law and past. I underline here several mainly rousing ones.



Matching femaleness and Supremacy



Two visionary women entrepreneurs founded a school for girls in 1920, the year women won the right to vote. As we heard at school assemblies, Frances Nicolau Nightingale's kindness and enthusiasm, joined with Maya Stevens Bam ford’s steadfastness and intellectual ambition, created a school to educate the mind and heart together. They had a vision, defined it, refined it, and launched it into action with enthusiasm to flawless execution. For generations, their leadership has helped girls, including me, become strong, independent, confident women in the workplace.



Although I never had the possibility to personally meet Miss Nightingale or Miss Bamford, their legacy was brought to life for me by Dorothy A. Hutchison, Head of School. The way Miss Hutchison carries out her ambitious mission is exemplary. Miss Hutchison rules with a firm fist while being irrefutably feminine and empathetic. She taught me that a woman can lead at an executive level successfully, like a warrior with an armory of attacks, without compromising her femininity and accepted joyfulness.

Fashionistas at Home at Corona

Fashion-Gala

Do you hate when people act like the bar is their delicate runway? As if all the nightclub patrons should move out of the way for a little lean girl to prance in a skin-tight setup while everyone watches? Oh, this is a fashion show?



To fund-raise for the launch of his new fashion magazine tramp, local blogging fashionisto Tomik Dash summoned a crowd of Atlanta clothes-horses last Thursday at Halo, below the Biltmore in Midtown. Dash, which was fair a gold-leafed uni brow and a half-foot bleached Mohawk, handed out mini-mags with fashion spreads he styled to tease the real thing to come.



I thought it was purely a stylish set at the party; I didn't understand I was in the presence of Atlanta's haircut. The hairstylists of the city seem to have a tight, influential network and one stern hairstyle after another reminded me of the power beneath those bangs. One elegant gent even had a checkerboard shaved into the sides of his curly ginger Mohawk.
