On Monday, while President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hit the

golf course, First Lady Melania Trump and Abe's wife toured the Kyobashi Tsukiji school,

where they were greeted by hundreds of students, who were excited to meet the American first

lady.

However, those on the left freaked out when they noticed what was written on a paper on

which Melania was practicing her calligraphy.

Perhaps this simple statement is the reason why the mainstream media has refused to praise

FLOTUS' trip to the Japanese school.

For some reason, the media mostly ignored Melania's trip to the Kyobashi Tsukiji school

on Monday, even though it was clear from the reception she received that the Japanese school

children had been preparing for some time for her visit and could not wait to meet her.

President Donald Trump is currently in the midst of a historic two-week trip through

Asia, and accompanying him on the journey is his stunning wife Melania Trump.

The first lady has spent much of her time overseas thus far with Akie Abe, the wife

of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Melania and Mrs. Abe have been fostering a friendship ever since the Abes visited the

U.S. in February, shortly after President Trump's inauguration.

For their visit to America, Donald and Melania Trump hosted Shinzo and Akie Abe at their

luxury Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

This week, it is the Abes who are hosting the Trumps in Japan, where they have been

treated to the finest accommodations.

Indeed, foreign relations between the U.S. and Japan have seemingly never been better,

and President Trump noted as much, calling the relationship "extraordinary" and tweeting,

"I don't think we've ever been closer to Japan than we are right now."

Melania and Mrs. Abe bonded on Monday during their visit to Kyobashi Tsukiji school, where

the American first lady was given a hero's welcome as soon as she arrived, according

to The Gateway Pundit.

While the President relishes displays of military might and ceremonial showing off, his wife

has demonstrated she far prefers more intimate interactions, specifically with children.

That's likely why she and Mrs. Abe visited Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School.

At the sight of the 200 or so uniformed students assembled to greet her in the school's gymnasium,

Trump's face lit up — she high-fived them, was drowned in hugs and posed for a group

photo, where, like the kids, she made a peace sign with her two fingers.

A Japanese calligraphy lesson was next; the fourth-grade classroom erupted in applause

as the two first ladies entered, mindfully watching the children draw brush strokes.

"Beautiful characters," Trump said as she paused to admire their work.

At one point, she even sat down at a small table, answering, "fantastic, would love

to," to a question of whether she, too, would like to try.

[Source: CNN] Before Melania was finished, she had expertly

written the word "peace" in Japanese calligraphy on her own pristine piece of white paper.

Posing for photographs, she proudly displayed her beautiful work of art after a little help

from a friendly female student who told her that she would see the best results by holding

her brush "vertically."

The message of "peace" has been a persistent sentiment during the first family's visit

to Japan, and with an increasingly hostile North Korea, nothing could be more important

at this moment in time.

Melania's grace and class during this diplomatic visit to Asia is a welcome change to that

of her predecessor.

The warm reception that she received from the children at the Japanese school on Monday

serves as proof.

What if Earth Was Hit by a Giant Solar Flare? - Duration: 5:29.

[♪ INTRO]

Every now and then, you'll hear a story on the news about a new solar storm.

They happen all the time, but they're usually not intense enough to affect Earth beyond

some neat light shows around the poles.

But sometimes, they can be really powerful,

and they have the potential to wreak all kinds of havoc.

In 1859, Earth experienced the biggest solar storm ever recorded.

Back then, it didn't cause much damage, but if we ever get hit

by another storm like it… we're kinda toast.

Solar storms are just outbursts or explosions caused by magnetic activity on the Sun.

Sometimes, as part of one, the Sun will release coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, which are

giant waves of magnetism and the hot, electrically-charged gas called plasma.

If a CME hits Earth, it interacts with our magnetic field

and causes disturbances called geomagnetic storms.

These storms can create beautiful things like the Northern and Southern Lights,

but they can also cause all kinds of trouble.

The solar storm in 1859 was big enough to send two CMEs right at us.

We don't know exactly how strong it was because we didn't have satellites to measure

it, but research suggests it was the most powerful storm in the last 500 years.

When the first CME reached Earth, the Northern Lights were seen as far south as Colombia,

and the Southern Lights were seen as far north as Queensland.

In some places, it was even bright enough to read in the middle of the night.

But the new-fangled telegraph industry also experienced all kinds of electrical failures.

Machines sent and received false signals, and even threw sparks that,

in some cases, started fires.

Other technology, mostly scientific instruments, went similarly haywire.

At the time, no one knew what was happening, but this became some of the first evidence

that auroras are caused by electromagnetism.

Right after these events, two ameteur astronomers named Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson

independently saw a big, white flare on the surface of the Sun,

which turned out to be the second CME!

But except for a few broken telegraph machines, everyone survived the solar storm,

and it's now called the Carrington Event.

It could have been called the Richards Event, but sometimes life lets you down.

Now, these days, we rely on technology way more than we did in 1859.

And if a solar storm of the same magnitude as the Carrington Event hit us…

it'd be rough.

We've put a lot of stuff into space, and we rely on it really heavily.

GPS, cell phones, wireless credit card transactions (like when you pay at the pump for gas),

they're all satellite-based technologies.

And solar storms are especially dangerous to satellites.

Energetic particles from CMEs can damage their solar panels, mostly by short-circuiting them.

And static charges can build up on the satellites' bodies,

which can cause more short-circuiting or false signals.

And even worse, a powerful geomagnetic storm

could even cause satellites to fall out of orbit.

The upper atmosphere is filled with charged particles,

which can be affected by geomagnetic storms.

A bunch of things can happen, but they basically add up to a ton of built-up energy,

which means a lot of heat.

And hot gases expand.

Satellites just outside the atmosphere would suddenly be enveloped in a hot, cushy cloud,

which would create drag that would slow them down.

And if they got slow enough, they'd fall to Earth.

Fortunately, satellite engineers are aware of all of this.

And while they're not able to fully compensate for the damage from an angry Sun, they are

working on developing more resilient satellites.

But the impacts of an enormous storm wouldn't be limited to miles above the ground!

We'd be in trouble down here, too.

Besides the fact that our cell phones would stop working,

we'd also be sitting in the dark.

See, those giant boxes you see along power lines are transformers, and they convert electricity

running through power lines into something your house can use.

Unfortunately, geomagnetic storms can cause induced currents in them,

which can overload them and make them explode.

This is actually the same idea behind what made telegraph machinery spark in the 1800s.

It's estimated that if we had a Carrington Event today,

most of the United States would go dark.

And it would take years to replace the transformers and repair that kind of damage.

Our power grids just aren't prepared for a giant solar storm, but at least we're

getting better at predicting the Sun's activity, thanks to organizations like NASA and NOAA.

Now, if we knew an especially nasty solar storm was on the way, we could at least shut

down transformers so they don't short-circuit.

Then, we'd have only a week or so of Mad-Max-style pandemonium instead of years.

So, we'd be in trouble if the Sun decides to throw a temper tantrum,

but it could always be worse!

Other stars like the Sun can produce massive explosions, called superflares.

And they have energies between 10 and 1000 times that of a Carrington Event.

And that would probably cause total chaos.

But thankfully, recent papers suggest that the Sun probably isn't capable of producing

a superflare, because its upper atmosphere isn't energetic enough.

So if we ever experience a colossal solar storm… just remember:

it could have been way worse!

Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Space!

Go To Live With God (See What I Was Made For) feat. Ryan Kennedy, May Angeles & The Emerging Sound - Duration: 5:29.

Here I go to lay me down

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

I'll wake to find myself at home

There the Lord will welcome me

And I will have all of Him

The moment I enter in

Then it will all make sense When I go to live with God

Just like the setting sun

Oh when my race is run

I'll hear Him say "well done,"

When I go to live with God

How the Light will warm my face

When I look into His eyes

I will hold the nail pierced hands

I'll lay my life down for this Prize

And I will have all of Him

The moment I enter in

Then it will all make sense When I go to live with God

Just like the setting sun

Oh when my race is run

I'll hear Him say "well done" When I go to live with God

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

From glory to glory! I will see what I was made for!

And I will have all of Him

The moment I enter in

Then it will all make sense When I go to live with God

Just like the setting sun

Oh when my race is run

I'll hear Him say "well done" When I go to live with God

And I will have all of Him

The moment I enter in

Then it will all make sense When I go to live with God

Just like the setting sun

Oh when my race is run

I'll hear Him say "well done" When I go to live with God

I will go, I will go,

I will go to live with God

I will go, I will go,

I will go to live with God

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us throw off everything that hinders and sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

BREAKING: JOHN MCCAIN WAS JUST HOSPITALIZED – HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW - Duration: 2:20.

Senator John McCain was just hospitalized after suffering a "minor tear," of his

Achilles tendon, according to a statement made by his office.

Doctors have chalked this up to a "side effect" of his cancer treatment, but many

Americans are wondering if he's still fit to serve this country.

Via Fox News:

Sen. John McCain was hospitalized over the weekend after he suffered a "minor tear"

of his Achilles tendon and side effects from his cancer therapy, his office said in a statement.

"Senator McCain was treated at Walter Reed Medical Center over the weekend for a minor

tear in his right Achilles tendon, as well as for other normal and non-life-threatening

side effects of cancer therapy," his office said in a statement on Monday.

"Senator McCain has returned to work in the Senate and will be wearing a walking boot

until his injured tendon is fully healed," it added.

McCain tweeted out a photo of him with a walking boot on and the caption: "I can't tell

you how much I hate wearing this boot!"

The Arizona Republican is undergoing treatment for brain cancer.

McCain, a 2008 presidential nominee, revealed in July he was diagnosed with glioblastoma,

a particularly aggressive type of tumor.

More than 12,000 people are diagnosed with glioblastoma, the American Brain Tumor Association

reported.

"The prognosis is very, very serious," McCain said on CBS' "60 Minutes" in

late September.

He recalled his doctor calling him in July and saying he had to return to the Mayo Clinic

in Phoenix while he was driving home to his ranch just outside of Sedona, Ariz.

"Some say 3 percent, some say 14 percent.

It's a very poor prognosis.

So, I just said, 'I understand, now we're going to do what we can, get the best doctors

we can find, and do the best we can.'

And, at the same time, celebrate with gratitude a life well-lived," McCain said.

He continued, "I am more energetic and more engaged as a result of this because I know

I've got to do everything I can to serve this country while I can."
