The LG G4 was announced not too long ago, but it seems that the LG G4 will not be the company’s only flagship phone for 2015. LG has typically released two flagship phones a year, following the footsteps of its rivals Sony and Samsung, and it looks like 2015 will be no different as the company said they will continue their dual flagship strategy this year.

This is according to a report from Focus Taiwan who quoted LG’s director of mobile business in Taiwan, Eason Shao. Shao said that with the release of two flagship phones in 2015, the company is aiming to increase its sales in Taiwan by at least 30%. However as for what kind of specs we might expect, Shao claims that the hardware specifications of the second phone have yet to be finalized.

Typically what LG has done is release the LG G Pro series first, a phone designed to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S series, and follow it up by the LG G-series which is a phone meant to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Note series. We saw this last year with the launch of the LG G Pro 2 at MWC 2014, followed by the LG G3 several months later.

However in 2015 LG changed their strategy by announcing the LG G4 first, with rumors claiming that LG might have nixed the LG G Pro 3 in favor of the LG G4. That being said if this is the way LG is proceeding, we’re not quite sure what to expect but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more info.

You work with so many moms every day, which traits do you see all moms have in common?

Complete selflessness, a complete ability to love unconditionally with their whole hearts. It is one of the most beautiful things to be around.

What do you wish for mother, both locally and around the world?

That we would start to truly lean upon each other much sooner than we do. The level of competitiveness among us is incredibly destructive. With so much love to give it seems such a crime that we are not able to give more of it to each other. I don’t think we can achieve balance alone. There is a reason we always existed in tribes, and that sense of community needs to return around the world.

What do you think we can all do to make this planet a better, happier place?

Love ourselves. I know that probably sounds a bit narcissistic, but it’s entirely the opposite. When a person truly has self-love, they care about their environment and that it’s preserved, they care about the food that enters their bodies, that their interactions with others are positive, and they fill those around them with the love and confidence they need. People who don’t love themselves don’t care enough about themselves to take care of the world they live in nor the people that live in it with them.

My Nana gave me a t-shirt as a child which read, “Why should I clean my room when the world is in such a mess.” I used to love it and wear it in opposition, as if I was smarter than those adults asking me to tidy up after myself. I now realize, while funny, this t-shirt sort of embodies our problem. Caring for ourselves, for our environment, is a part of self-love and the first step in caring for the world. So while many are out there trying to make the world a better place, just don’t forget to do the same in your own home with your own family.

What kind of world do you want for your family in 2030?

I want a world in which global kindness, education, health and community are understood as the real things that will elevate each nation. Treating each other based upon our differences and focusing on self-gain can never result in a better place for our children. I truly hope for a sense of global community in which we can all help lift each other up rather than pushing people down. Humanity craves community, and so that is what we should be working towards as opposed to a lonely place with a few on top and so many scrambling below.

How has your personal story shaped you and your vision of the future?

I grew up amongst some amazing men and women who believed passionately in fighting for others, in amazing acts of kindness and generosity for those less fortunate. But I also grew up in a culture in which these extraordinary acts were more easily carried out outside of the home rather than within. I think we must practice what we preach both in and out of the home. Fighting for the rights of others is incredibly important and admirable, and we need to also teach those core values to our children. We must be the ones filling them with the love they need to go on and to be the good, happy people the world needs them to be. My vision for the future is dedicated to each individual in an effort to make the whole a better place. The old Jewish proverb, “Save a child, save the world” is something that really speaks to me and I hope to you.

What’s one way you teach your children about helping others?

I am from England and we have a day called Boxing Day — December 26th. Sadly, the traditional, kind acts of Boxing Day are no longer celebrated in the UK, but it’s still a national holiday, and I am determined to bring its true meaning back. Our family celebrates it every year. Traditionally, the day after Christmas, families would “box” up any left-over foods or gifts and leave them on their doorsteps for people to pick up if they were in need, hence “boxing” day. Our family doesn’t literally leave things on our doorstep, but Boxing Day and the act of giving after all the excess of the holidays allows our children (and us) to think about gratitude and how they can help others.

How do your children and the children around you inspire you?

As a mom, I realize what it is to be really needed. They depend on me, they need me for everyday things, but they also need me to try to leave them with a world that is a wonderful place. Being needed is inspiring, but it is also a frightening, cold shower! I try to take that as a challenge to be a better person, and to leave them with a better place. To be needed is powerful, perhaps the ultimate inspiration, because if I don’t do it for them, who will?

The U.S. Air Force is set to launch its secretive “space plane” on Wednesday, the fourth flight of the mysterious unmanned X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle.

Unlike previous missions, however, the Air Force has offered details of at least part of its mission: an experimental Hall thruster. This electric propulsion device ionizes a noble gas such as xenon. The device would allow a spacecraft to carry larger payloads and perform more orbital maneuvers than one powered by traditional rocket engines.

“Space is so vitally important to everything we do,” Maj. Gen. Tom Masiello, commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, said in a news release. “Secure comms, ISR, missile warning, weather prediction, precision navigation and timing all rely on it, and the domain is increasingly contested. A more efficient on-orbit thruster capability is huge. Less fuel burn lowers the cost to get up there, plus it enhances spacecraft operational flexibility, survivability and longevity.”

The X-37B is capable of extended missions in space; one such journey lasted 675 days. The Air Force has said little about what the spacecraft has been doing, and the details about the Hall thruster represent some of the most detailed explanations it has offered about an X-37B flight.

The craft resembles the space shuttle, but is roughly a quarter of the size of its retired cousin. Like the shuttle, it’s both reusable and capable of landing like an airplane, as shown in this Air Force image from a previous mission:

Unlike the shuttle, the X-37B is unmanned and launched from a rocket. In this case, it will launch on the United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket departing from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

The launch will be streamed live online starting at 10:45 a.m. ET.

The X-37B will be contained inside the payload fairing atop the rocket, or the white portion visible in this image released by the National Reconnaissance Office:

Along with the space plane, the rocket will carry 10 small satellites, called “CubeSats,” with experiments from the the U.S. Naval Academy, Cal Poly, the Planetary Society, the Air Force Research Laboratory and Aerospace Industries, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) said on Twitter.

The agency released this image of the CubeSats:

The NRO also posted a short summary of the experiments online.

The CubeSats are in the aft bulkhead carrier, which is in the bottom portion of the payload fairing. A more detailed breakdown of Atlas V and what’s inside it is visible in this brochure from United Launch Alliance.

One of the experiments is the Planetary Society’s solar sail, a project based on a design by Carl Sagan. Called LightSail and funded by donations, the mylar sheet will use radiation from the sun to maneuver.

“You can go to very distant destinations in the solar system without any fuel,” Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye “The Science Guy” said, according to USA Today. “You get a continuous very small push, indefinitely. You can tack, just like a sailboat, this really elegant, wonderful thing.”

The small prototype is expected to fly in low-earth orbit for about 30 days ahead of a larger experiment scheduled for next year. That mission is being funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign.

We live in a gourmet ice cream world, one with lemon curd swirls and balsamic surprises. Admittedly, access to so many amazing ice cream flavors has made us pickier when it comes to our favorite summer dessert. But no matter how fancy we get with our cones, we’ll never be too fancy for classic treats sold by the ice cream man. Not only are they nostalgic, they’re downright classic — and absolutely irresistible, for the most part.

With summer peeking its head around the corner and the song of the ice cream man playing in the air, we rounded up the best treats the truck has to offer, in order from not terribly exciting to downright heavenly.
