For this Novembers presidential election, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins plans to cast her ballot from the International Space Station, 200 miles above Earth, effectively obliterating every excuse in the book for why us earthbound voters cant make it out to the polls. If we can do it from space, then I believe folks can do it from the ground too, Rubins said in an interview with the Associated Press on Friday. Is that even legal , I hear you ask. And yes, it is! But only if youre from T adidas campus 80s exas. Given that most U.S. astronauts live in Houston the home of NASAs Mission Control Center , the state of Texas passed a law in 1997 establishing a procedure for them to vote from space should the occasion arise. It basically works like an extra-terrestrial mail-in ballot: Mission Control sends the space station an encryp asics outlets ted email containing the ballot, which is relayed back down to the county clerks office after the astronaut fills it out. Rubins and her fellow astronaut Shane Kimbrough cast their votes from the ISS for the 2016 presidential election as well. I think a lot of astronauts do this, Rubins told the outlet. Its critical to participate in our democracy. We consider it an honor to be able to vote from space. Rubins is currently working with cosmonauts adidas samba Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov in Star City, Russia to prepare for a launch in mid-October.

Ajju The Deadly Recklessness of the Self-Driving Car Industry
In his new movie Us, Jordan Peele shows the distance between everyday ordinary folks, and the dangerous fringe-dwellers who can upend their lives, can be as slim as a mirrored pane of glass. When the world became obsessed with his feature film debut two years ago, Peele often referred to Get Out as a work of social horror. The award-winning film mined the sordid history of Americas racism to produce a nightmarish metaphor of how systemic oppression schemes to hollow out black folks lives. Us demonstrates how Peele is iterating on his social horror recipes, by broadening th nike dunk high e scope of his ambitions and fiendishly modulating the use of violence and familiarity to send shivers down our collective spines. Theres a more resonant thrum of intimacy running through Us. Its centered on a family vacation where parents Gabe Winston Duke and Adelaide Wilson Lupita Nyongo bring their two kids to her childhood home. Zora Shahadi Wright Joseph and Jason Evan Alex joke with their parents and hassle each other in endearingly recognizable ways. Uss portrayal of the Wilson family is important because, in 2019, its still rare to see a black family portrayed in a loving and complicated dimensionality. That love is what keeps terror at bay.

The Environmental Protection Agency was unusually lax in 2018. During the last fiscal year, which ended in October, the agency saw fewer prosecution referrals against polluters than at any other point in the past 30 years. And the Government Accountability Office GAO is investigating why. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility PEER , an organization that rallies anonymous government employees yeezy to discuss environmental concerns in their workplace, published the new findings on criminal enforcement at the EPA on Tuesday. Overall, the EPA under President Donald Trump made only 166 criminal referrals in the 2018 fiscal year, a 60 percent reduction from 2011. The level of criminal enforcement hasnt been this low since the days of Ronald Reagan, per PEERs analysis. When looking at convictions aka the polluters that are actually held accountable , the EPA closed out the last fiscal year with a measly 62. Past fiscal years under Obama regularly saw the number of convictions rise above 100. And things arent looking much brighter as we begin the 2019 fiscal year, which has seen only 24 referrals so far. PEER anticipates this year will be another adidas samba og all-time enforcement low mark, per its press release. The GAO launched its investigation into all this back in Oct adidas yeezy ober, a fact which it聽disclosed to The Hill on Tuesday.

Proyas statement doesnt come from a distaste for Hollywoods end asics gel less fascination with mining old material for remakes and revivals, nike dunk but instead because of the infamous tragedy that befell The Crow in its original production鈥攖he awful, accidental death of star Brandon Lee, mortally wounded by a misfired gun during the final days of filming. https://facebook/photo.php fbid=535859346780862amp et=a.135157180184416.1073741828.100010704046009type=3 Proyas truly believes in leaving The Crow as a tribute to Lees memory, something he feels would be tarnished if the movie was rebooted and Lees role went unacknowledged.

YouTube Music was supposed to be the successor to Google Play Music, when it launched in 2018, but it lacked a number of core features, including the ability to transfer your music library over from Googles previous music streaming app. Now, ahead of Google Play Musics impending death sometime later this year, Google has finally created a transfer tool to help Google Play Music users import their songs into YouTube Music.

But with YouTube Musics new transfer feature, moving songs over from Google Play Music is as simple as opening YouTube Music on a mobile device and hitting the new Transfer button at the bottom of the app. Additionally, Google says it will begin sending emails out to current Google Play Music users to alert them of the new process.

The widespread use of facial recognition technology is almost upon us. A new iPhone is on the horizon, and it might not even have a fingerprint reader鈥攊nstead, you could be unlocking your phone with your face. Facial recognition is not new.

Even back then we could give a computer enough data to be able to match a person to a their photogra mizuno laufschuhe ph. The group, led by Woodrow William Bledsoe even managed to calculate a compensation for any tilt, lean, rotation and scale of the head in a photograph. Data inputs stayed pretty rudimentary, with manual input of details being replaced by the Eigenfaces in the 80s and 90s. This would be the start of computer vision systems leveraging the kinda freaky power of big data. Our ever-increasing ability to process huge amounts information und sketcher sportschuhe erpins the advances weve seen in the last few years. Today, facial recognition has scaled from unlocking phones to tracking criminals. Cameras at a beer festival in Qingdao, China, caught 25 alleged law-breakers in under one second.

It probably makes sense to pause and ask: where can it go wrong Earlier this month, reports emerged that Samsungs Note 8 facial recognition feature could be tricked by photos of the persons face.

Fifteen years after its debut, Joby has redesigned the legs on the GorillaPod with its new PodZilla line.

When wrapped around an object like a tree branch, the tripod would easily hold securely to the roughly textured bark.

NOAA put together this graphic that illustrates the entire process: The picture does a nice job of showing just how the sequence works 鈥?and why it is that we get the wall of snow or the rolling snowstorm effect. In case you want words to go along with it, NOAA also has this explanation: Lake-effect snow forms in the winter when cold air masses move over warmer lake waters. As the warm lake water heats the bottom layer of air, lake moisture evaporates into the cold air. Since warm air is lighter and less dense than cold air, it rises and begins to cool.
