WW3 TENSIONS RISE: Shock footage shows Putin’s forces ‘moving to North Korea’s border’

Another evidently highlights military helicopter movements towards the North Korean border and manoeuvres across rough terrain by army combat vehicles. The move comes as tension remains high despite revelations that a Donald Trump naval armada is not – anyway yet – in position off the Korean peninsula.

US Army will make two technology demonstrators for next generation armor vehicles by 2022

2022 will be the year of decision for the Army’s nascent Next Generation Combat Vehicle, officials told the Association of the US Army conference here today. That’s when “at least two” NGCV demonstrators get field-tested by real troops. Those soldiers’ feedback, in turn, will inform Army leaders’ decision: whether to fund a full-up program to field a new armored vehicle by 2035, or put off a fresh start — again — and just keep updating 1970s designs.

Next month, the Army will begin “characterization” of how three off-the-shelf Active Protection Systems work on the M1 tank, said Col. Kevin Vanyo, program manager for emerging capabilities at TARDDEC. (That’s the Army’s Tank-Automotive, Research, Development, and Engineering Center). Testing on the M2 Bradley and eight-wheel-drive Stryker will start soon after. Work on all three vehicles — about a $75 million effort all told — should be done about this time next year (specifically, the second quarter of fiscal year 2018).

IT'S NOT ALL DOWNHILL: AMERICAN MUSIC BUSINESS SEES BIGGEST GROWTH SINCE 1998

Move aside traditional formats, streaming music is the new king of the U.S music industry.

2016 was a huge year for the U.S music industry. Last year marked the biggest growth in the U.S music industry since 1998. This is mostly due to the explosion in popularity of streaming services. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, in 2015 streaming music services (Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL, etc.) made up 34% of the revenue in the U.S music industry. Last year saw a massive increase in this percentage, rising an insane 17% in just one year. Even more impressive is the fact that streaming music is now 51.4% of all of the music revenue in the U.S music industry. This is the first time streaming services have had a majority over traditional formats. It should also be noted that just a few years ago in 2011 streaming music was only 9% of the revenue.

On the flip side, Digital downloads decreased 22% last year. This is likely due to the fact that many customers are choosing to switch to a monthly subscription rather than a single download purchase. Many of the streaming services are around $5-15 a month, and with many albums costing around $10 to own, it is rather economical to just get the streaming service with access to many more albums. It should also be noted that although physical formats as a whole were down 16% vinyl revenue actually increased 4%. This is the highest wax has been since 1985.
