Google's  mission statement  from the outset was "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," and its unofficial slogan was " Don't be evil ".  In October 2015, the motto was replaced in the Alphabet corporate code of conduct by the phrase: "Do the right thing".  Google's commitment to such robust idealism has been increasingly called into doubt due to a number of actions and behaviours which appear to contradict this.

NASA's images of the Earth and the moon were processed separately and then combined NASA  released a composite image  of  Earth  and the  moon  on Friday, combining the best image of Earth with the best image of the moon. The images were captured on Nov. 20, 2016 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. At the time, Mars was about 127 million miles from Earth. Both images were processed separately and then combined due to the difference in the brightness of both bodies. “The moon is much darker than Earth and would barely be visible at the same brightness scale as Earth,” NASA said. The image still reflects the correct size and positions of both bodies.

The Office of Government Ethics director said the schedule is of "great concern" The government watchdog agency tasked with vetting White House Cabinet nominees sent a letter to Democratic Senators on Friday warning that the office is facing pressure to rush through the process for  Donald Trump’s nominees  in order to keep up with the current confirmation hearing schedule. “The announced hearing schedule for several nominees who have not completed the ethics review process is of great concern to me,” wrote Walter Shaub Jr., director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE). Seven confirmation hearings have been  scheduled for next week , and Shaub said the schedule has created “undue pressure” on the office, which has not yet completed an ethics review for all those nominees. He described it as an unprecedented task. “More significantly, it has left some of the nominees with potentially unknown or unresolved ethics issues shortly before their s...

Donald Trump Says Only ‘Stupid’ People and Fools Oppose Better Ties With Russia: "Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing" NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that “only ‘stupid’ people or fools” would dismiss closer ties with Russia, and he seemed unswayed after his classified briefing on an intelligence report that accused Moscow of meddling on his behalf in the election that catapulted him to power. “Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing,” Trump said in a series of tweets. He added, “We have enough problems without yet another one,” and said Russians would respect “us far more” under his administration than they do with Barack Obama in the White House. Trump repeatedly has questioned the assessment by American intelligence agencies that the Kremlin interfered in the 2016 election, and a classified report presented to him Friday seemed to have little changed his thinking. ...
