Transcription of A.I. IN SPACE
Siri, how far is it to the sun?
1.01 Astronomical Units
How many moons does Mars have?
I found Phobos and Deimos
Siri, what are the 3 laws of Robotics?
I forget the first three, but there's a fourth. A smart machine shall first consider which is more worth its while: to perform the given task or instead, to figure some way out of it.
Can we really trust artificial intelligence, especially in something as difficult as space exploration?
Well, today, we're going to go ahead and talk about it. That's today's topic for Ask Abby: Artificial Intelligence.
*Show Intro*
Hi there. I'm Astronaut Abby, an aspiring astronaut with the goal to be the first person to walk on Mars! Welcome to Ask Abby where I answer questions about space and science submitted by you, the viewers!
Today we're answering the question "How can Artificial Intelligence be implemented to help with space exploration?"
This is a great question because it seems like everyone is wondering about the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence.
That's because artificial intelligence has incredible potential to impact space travel…and not by becoming murderous.
That's right, I'm lookin' at you HAL.
But before we get started, what even is Artificial Intelligence?
Well, the definition according to the English Oxford Living Dictionary is: "The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages."
There's a ton of different definitions, but they all include imitation of human behavior, the ability to adapt to change, and to learn.
So how does A.I. actually help with space travel? Well, one prominent and recent example is back in 2016, when NASA gave the Mars Curiosity Rover an A.I. program called AEGIS. AEGIS stands for Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science.
I know, again with the acronyms. C'mon LUMCH, guys, LUMCH. (Let's. Use. More. Creativity. Here.)
But anyways, AEGIS has given Curiosity the ability to detect and sample rocks basically on its own. It uses photo recognition to learn what types of rocks and soils NASA wants to study and it has a 93% accuracy rate. And while that level of autonomy does make Curiosity rock, it could be pretty intimidating if it were to one day go rogue.
So besides zapping rocks, what's so useful about A.I. in space?
Well recently, the first robot equipped with artificial intelligence was launched into space, and it helps astronauts by collaborating with them on their daily tasks.
Launched in late June 2018 by a SpaceX rocket to the International Space Station, CIMON was developed by the European space agency Airbus and stands for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion. If an astronaut needs help with an experiment or a complex procedure, they can ask CIMON and get highly detailed answers and information.
Kind of like Siri here on Earth except . . . better.
So in everything from the physical chores of exploring other planets to collecting data to providing astronauts with information, A.I. definitely has the potential to help humans with space exploration.
Another future application for A.I. would be that we could send an A.I. to Mars ahead of our human travelers, and have it set up all of their life support systems and habitats. This would drastically decrease the risk factor and the cost of human Mars missions.
There's a lot of potential in the future for artificial intelligence to help us explore extremely hostile environments, such as the moons of Galilean planets which could have watery oceans on them. These situations are very difficult for humans because we're a lot more fragile.
So after hearing all of this great stuff about how artificial intelligence could help us with space exploration, you might start to wonder why send humans to space at all?
Well, as of yet, artificial intelligence doesn't have the creativity, problem-solving and ability to react that humans do. And don't forget our fancy shmancy opposable thumbs! But really, the possibilities for artificial intelligence in our future are limitless, as long as we avoid an A.I apocalypse, that is… Which, according to Elon Musk, is apparently pretty scary.
Well, that's all the time we have today for #AskAbby. Thank you so much for joining me for The Mars Generation Space and Science Show.
And as always, if you have a question you'd like to ask and potentially see answered here, you can go ahead and submit to me on Twitter using the hashtag #AskAbby, or at TheMarsGeneration.org/askabby which is linked below.

Dragon's Crown guide: very quick tips
2013-08-06 07:00:00by Chris Carter
How to rock the dragon
Dragon's Crown can be a pretty tough game. On top of some devilishly difficult boss fights, you need to fulfill your role, as well as practice good party synergy to really best some of the hardest encounters.
Odds are if you have a technical question about Dragon's Crown, I answered it in this article here in the comment section. But for everything gameplay related, you'll find it here.
As a side note, I tend to organize my guides into two sections. Basic tips should be read by every prospective player to help make things a little more enjoyable. Advanced tips generally contain a few minor gameplay spoilers, so it's probably best to bookmark the page, experience the game a bit, then come back.
Basic tips:
The way loot works is this -- it's instanced. If you open a chest, you have a chance to uncover a "rated" item all the way up to "S" rank. The item doesn't actually appear in the field -- it automatically is added to your armory at the end of the stage. The same thing goes for experience points -- you don't get your XP reward until after the stage is over.
Early on, you can actually tell how powerful post-stage looted items are before you appraise them. For instance, if the item lists ?-?? as the stat-line for a weapon, you know that the low-end damage ranges from 1-9 (?), while the top-end damage ranges from 10-99 (??). Use this to avoid overpaying for junk appraisals.
Although it may seem like you need to appraise items right away, you can actually pocket them, and identify them later at Morgan's Magic Item Shop to save money.
If you find yourself unable to best a boss and your NPC party is slowly counting down to doom (at which point, if you don't buy them back, they'll be gone forever), you can press start and quit the level to cut your losses.
Always pray at the Canaan Temple before a mission. Even if it's a paltry 200 Coin Life increase, it may save you more often than not, and you need to re-pray after returning to town.
Be mindful of wooden boxes (or wooden objects in general) and bones for Wizard and Sorceress party members respectively. Wizards create golems out of wood, and Sorceresses can create skeletons out of bone piles. Don't just crush every box you find if you have a Wizard in your party, and if you don't need to pick up bones, let a Sorceress have them.
If you want to make sure that you saved your game -- go to the Inn a lot. Dragon's Crown automatically saves every time you alter the data in any way after leaving the Inn.
Do all of the quests when you get them, and even if you put them off and "outlevel them," do them later. Just because an early quest may have a low XP reward that will be useless to a higher level character, remember that completing quests nets you one or more skill points. Note that you must "turn in" quests to the guild after you finish them to earn the reward.
If an enemy grabs you or holds onto you (usually biting occurs), keep in mind that in addition to a party member slashing you free, you can also dodge cancel out of some holds.
You can only store a limited amount of NPC bones. Make sure to bury some to avoid missing out on a particularly good pile of bones while out in the field. To expedite this process, resurrect the ones you want, then go to the bury option, and press Square to "bury the rest." The same goes for "hired" NPCs -- you need to cut some loose every so often.
Speaking of NPCs, if you're having trouble with AI companions dying too often, try to build a party comprised of three Amazons, Dwarves, or Fighters in any order. That way they'll be more resilient to attacks, and won't die as often when standing in the fire or walking into traps.
If you're in town, press start and select the options menu -- look for "HP Gauge" and select "display." This is the only way to see health meters for non-boss enemies, and will help you pick out weaker foes in the thick of things. The downside is the screen may feel a bit more cluttered.
Note that you can aim battlefield weapons. Simply press up or down when shooting a crossbow to aim at a certain height. To aim ballistas, hold square and look up or down. This will come in handy for some of the later boss fights.
Go back to the castle occasionally after beating the game. You'll get unique quests that net you a ton of gold just for beating a level.
If you're playing with NPCs instead of real players, you can lead them out of danger, traps, and more. For instance, if you dash or run, they often follow-suit -- this is especially helpful when the ground is falling. You can also "capture" a screen to fight on that doesn't feature traps, as the camera mostly follows the host player.
You can't pause the game while in a dungeon, but you can use the Vita's "pause/idle" function to put it into sleep mode after pressing the power button once. Note that if you're connected to online play, this will cancel it out until you re-enable it in town. To see how to unlock online play, simply progress with the game for roughly 5-6 hours, or read the next tip.
Advanced tips:
You may notice that you do not have access to online play right away. This is because you have to unlock it by playing roughly 5-6 hours of the game first. Once you complete the initial arc and best nine stages, you'll have to collect orbs in each level to face the "true boss." Each stage will now feature a second route that you can explore, with new bosses -- these are the bosses you need to defeat to nab the orbs. I will refer to these stages as "B-sides."
Once you reach this point you'll unlock the ability to "continue on your adventure" after completing a stage. Selecting this option instead of returning to town will send you to a random level, and will add extra bonuses to your journey. Simply put, the easiest way to level up in this game is to "let it ride," and keep playing as long as you have the item durability.
You may have seen a few cooking videos for Dragon's Crown. How do you get the cooking mini-game? By "continuing the adventure" after completing a stage multiple times. After a few continues, you'll find yourself face to face with a variety of ingredients and cooking utensils. Place the food into the pots and pans, stir them, then serve them on your plate to earn bonuses for the next stage.
Don't underestimate any character's ability to stay in the air. Most party members can continue to stay airborne with their Up+Square attack, and buying at least the first level of the "common skill tree" dash upgrade is essential. You can augment these normal dashes and attacks with special abilities, like the Wizard's ability to levitate.
There are higher difficulties in the game, and this is how they work. The max level you can earn in Normal Mode (default) is level 35. After beating the final boss, you'll unlock Hard Mode (65), and finally, Inferno Mode, which has a max level of 99.
If you fight in the game's Arena Mode (PVP), which is unlocked after beating the game for the first time, you can earn gold -- so keep in mind that it's not just a random time waster.
When solving rune puzzles, don't forget that the solution often uses two runes that are actually placed in the level, and not from your rune book. If you hit a dead end in the Mage's Tower B-side level, the solution "SFC" will send you on your way.
If you're not getting the orb for the Forgotten Sanctuary demon B-side boss, it's because you're not killing him fast enough. If the ray of light comes down, you won't get credit for the kill, and must re-do the level and kill him faster. Level up before coming back.
If you don't kill the Dragon B-side boss -- it's the same situation as the demon -- you need to kill him before he falls off the ledge at the end of the fight. Level up, fight him a bit in his initial room (unlock all the chests and the door on the right first) -- then move into the next room after he has roughly 3/4s of his life, and use the various weapons there to best him.

The American experiment is in its final stages. What began as a noble endeavor, at least by some, has proven to be a failure. It contained its own seeds of destruction from the outset in that authority was vested in the masses. From that point forward, all that would need to be accomplished by the diabolical was to simply corrupt a sufficient number of the masses and the entire culture would "flip" so to speak, and we are moving to that point now with increasing speed.
The violence, yes violence, from the Left is gaining momentum, and more and more little happens, little attention is paid to it — from violent demonstrations on college campuses over conservative speakers, to the gunning down of conservative politicians, to the ambush and killing of police officers, to the shouting down and assaulting of conservative presenters, to the out-loud calls for assassination of the president and all of it distorted or almost ignored by a media in ideological lockstep with the goals of the Left.
What held this great experiment together was a shared morality. Even Benjamin Franklin and others among the founders recognized that for the nation to continue, it would need to be based on commonly held moral principles. As long as that was the case, the machine would keep chugging along. But for the last three or four generations, the fuel of morality has been approaching empty and now the American civilization is running on fumes.
Morality must be grounded in something other than those who must subscribe to it — something outside of themselves. If not, then the very players themselves set the rules and are accordingly free to break, change or discard them at will, which is what we currently witnessing.
Leftist media giants, for example, have simply changed the rules of journalism. Now, they distort rather than report, and they distort because they are perfectly fine with saying that a conservative political agenda is evil, uncaring and hate-filled and must be fought against. Freedom of the press has been refashioned to be freedom to press, press a socialist agenda, which devalues and reduces the value of human life and has no regard for the divine.
The ranks of the religiously detached are beginning to swell, driven by a near total lack of regard for the transcendent. Spirituality has been redefined to mean whatever you want it to mean, which has led to the growing dissolution of America both conceptually and in reality, and in America, the only force which could have fought against this denial of the divine was the Catholic Church.
Leaders, however, did and continue to cling to the American notion that all religions are equal or at least have equal worth, which of course, throws wide open the doors of competing moralities. Their parishes are emptying as a result. For the time being, the statues being torn down and toppled from their perches are historical political figures.
It won't stop there. Politics is ultimately at the end, rooted in religion. It will not be long before Catholic statues start coming down. In fact, here and there, it has already begun, like this one of St. Fr. Junipero Serra in California.
The tank is almost empty. Fumes will soon turn to little else than vapors.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
Catholic truth ripped from its moorings and distorted to support death.

Next-gen Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ on the way with more power

Gazoo Racing used its World Rally Championship experience to develop the GR Yaris
With BMW's help, Toyota has rejuvenated its classic Supra
The second generation of the GT86 (renamed GR86) is expected next year
by Lawrence Allan
Toyota and Subaru are ramping up development of a successor to the GT86 and BRZ sports cars – and Autocar has learned that the Toyota version will be rebranded as the GR86.
The GT86 and BRZ were launched in 2012, and their future had been in doubt because of relatively low sales. But both companies have committed to developing a replacement, with the Toyota version a key part of the brand's growing performance car line-up.
Toyota boss Akio Toyoda is a major proponent of using performance models to boost the brand's image under the Gazoo Racing division, which also includes Toyota's various motorsport programmes.
The original GT86 pre-dated the creation of that brand, which started with the GR Supra and will also include the GR Yaris, the first model developed purely by Gazoo Racing. The next GT86 is set to be rebranded to bring it in line with that nomenclature.
This light, uncomplicated coupé promises so much. Can the Toyota GT86 deliver?
The next-gen sports car will feature some substantial changes from the existing model. While the original was built on a Subaru platform, the firm's current architectures are not suited to rear-drive cars, so Autocar understands the new model is set to be built on Toyota's TNGA platform.
While Toyota underpinnings will be used, Subaru is expected to once again take the lead with powertrain development. Autocar understands the car is likely to retain a flat-four 'Boxer' engine, with reports in Japan suggesting that the existing 2.0-litre naturally aspirated unit will be switched for the turbocharged 2.4-litre powerplant currently used in the Ascent, Legacy and Outback models.
That engine produces 255bhp in the Ascent, a figure that would represent a significant upgrade on the outgoing model's output. Forced induction would also provide a substantial torque upgrade over the old car, too, providing a draw for those who weren't satisfied with the performance of the outgoing GT86 and BRZ. Both brands may wish to retain the drivability and character of a naturally aspirated unit, but this needs to be balanced with what buyers are demanding – and that appears to be the on-tap grunt of a turbocharged unit.
Toyota and Subaru will also want to improve the aesthetic appeal of the new car, both inside and out. The old GT86 and BRZ were widely criticised for their low-rent cabin, so expect improvements in technology, material usage and fit and finish. Whether or not the model becomes more of a true four-seater in order to really help it stand up against more practical rivals remains to be seen.
Such changes – particularly the power upgrade – would be likely to see the price of both cars increase. However, both brands will be conscious of the close proximity of more premium models, such as the Audi TT and BMW Z4. Toyota won't want to tread on the toes of its own Supra, either, particularly in Japan where a four-cylinder version of the reborn sports car is offered.
The second-generation BRZ and GT86 will build on expanding links between Subaru and Toyota. As well as the sports car, the two firms are teaming up to develop a new EV platform and electric SUV.
Toyota weighs up sports hybrids
Toyota is considering hybrid versions of future performance car models – but only once the weight of the systems are reduced.
The Japanese firm is in the process of electrifying all of its models, with a heavy focus on hybrid systems. But the new GR Yaris will only be offered with a three-cylinder, 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, despite 80% of Yaris sales expected to be hybrid.
Naohiko Sato, chief engineer of the GR Yaris, said that while a hybrid system would fit in the car and was under evaluation, Toyota didn't believe it was currently suitable for performance cars.
"Right now, if we chose an electrified powertrain for a sports car, it would be heavier," said Sato. "We decided it's not the right way to go right now. Maybe when the technology gets better and we have new technology allowing lighter powertrains, it could be good.
"Right now, the Prius and RAV4 plug-in hybrids can have big batteries because they're not sports cars, but it is best not to have a big battery for a sports car."
The Gazoo Racing range
Toyota GR Super Sports - arriving in 2021: Road-legal version of forthcoming Le Mans racer will serve as range-topping 'halo' model, built in very small numbers.
GR Yaris - arriving in late 2020: Four-wheel-drive, 247bhp-plus hot hatch brings World Rally Championship learnings to Yaris range.
GR Supra - on sale now: Famed two-seat grand tourer has been reborn through partnership with BMW.
GR86 - arriving in 2021 (estimate): Second generation of rear-wheel-drive coupé will be brought in line with new GR branding.

Shame about the GT86
It really deserved better sales numbers.
Hopefully with the new gen they make them look different from each other though, i always tought that the fact that they where clones was just super weird. Why would anyone pick the Subaru over the Toyota?
275not599
I picked the Subaru because,
I picked the Subaru because, at least in the States, the cabin is more premium, and I have a convenient Subaru specialist. A lot of the charm is the abscence of a turbo, requiring you to work it to 7000, rather than merely row it along on mid-range torque. I was hoping the next one would come in two versions, 2.0 NA and 2.5 NA. Really hope it doesn't get hit with Toyota's fussy stick, like the Supra.

AutoCar's artist should...
start designing cars for real. His impression of what a successor should look like, is sooooo much better than the original, which was a sorry excuse of an affordable sports car after the spectacular FT86 concept to begin with.
Got there
At last at least the option of a Turbo'd engine. Car deserves it, plus, I won't get anymore stick from certain posters for saying so

Not necessarily
They could use the 2.4 engine in naturally aspirated form?

Summary: Thornton Law is being investigated for giving their partners bonuses matching the amount made for political donations.
Thornton Law Firm has been caught by the Spotlight Team and the Center for Responsive Politics in a scheme tied to political donations. A review of law firm records found an unusual pattern of payments in which 280 of the contributions paid by the partners exactly matched bonuses paid back to them within 10 days of their contribution.
Partner David C. Strouss received a "bonus" for $2,400, the same amount he contributed to Jon Tester's campaign in Montana. Partner Garrett Bradley received a $2,400 "bonus" just a few days later that matched his donation to Tester's campaign. This trend of contributions replaced by bonus payments just days later was common at Thornton.
Sen. Warren has now agreed to return roughly $130,000 in donations to her and her PAC, despite resisting the request at first. The money received was from Boston-based Thornton Law Firm, a law firm known for asbestos plaintiff's litigation.
See Is the Clinton Foundation the Clinton Mafia?
Thornton Law claims the money was improperly labeled as "bonuses" because the payments came out of the partners' equity. They claim the "bonuses" were paid from the lawyers' own money with an accountant deducting the payments from their ownership in the firm.
Do you think Thornton Law has anything to hide? Tell us in the comments below.

In the last couple of years malware has reached a widespread use not only in a widespread world, but also in Slovenia. This is not something that isn't happening in our country, but is a reality. Let's take a look at the first picture , which presents the countries targeted by the NetTraveler malware. We can see that most of the world is affected and Slovenia is also present on the map.


Last and definitely not least is everyone's favorite pile of living garbage, Muckman! For a while we were close to not seeing Muckman (character design by the ridiculously talented Jose Garibaldi - who actually designed a bunch of the figures on this list) released as part of Playmates Nick TMNT line - but after some fans became pretty vocal about him being shown at a Toy Fair and then omitted from the line, Playmates eventually added him (albeit ever so briefly) to the line.
He is, at the time of this entry, the most sought-after figure from the line gaining upwards of $300 on the secondary market.
Though he is still carded here, we have no intentions on keeping him packaged. Our Nick TMNT collection is loose, though some figures we haven't had the time to go through and open yet. And now with this figure hitting such large amounts I couldn't bring myself to open him just for this blog entry. But rest assured, he will eventually be opened to join the rest of the figures in our collection.


How many of us have filled up an online shopping cart only to start the checkout process and second guess the purchase because of shipping costs? Several friends and coworkers have confessed to doing this exact thing. Whether the shipping cost is outrageous or even if its minimal, it makes you stop and think "do I really need to buy this today?" We want to give you a reason to buy what you want when you want it and we've decided that free shipping is the answer!
According to research, free shipping is the most effective promotion any online business can offer. We have taken it a step further by offering free no hurry shipping everyday on every order. A few other online retailers such as Nordstrom and Zappos offer free shipping on all orders every time and customers overwhelmingly LOVE it. Because we are 100% customer service focused, how could we not do the same?
So, free no hurry shipping at MCR Medical is for YOU, our customers, for helping us become the success that we are today. You are the reason why we all do what we do! So enjoy and please let us know if there is anything else we can ever do to help your experience be exceptional.

Thanks John, that worked. How do you find what the section is called, for example that changed the status what about the comment place holder?
Using the example above open it up in FireFox and the RIGHT CLICK on the area you want to change and then a menu will pop up. Then click on INSPECT ELEMENT. It will show you two columns. The right column is the CSS for that page. You can test it out right in the right column by changing something, and it will change the screen in real time. This way you can test stuff out on your webpage or someone else without actually editing the website. Caution though...when you add CSS to your CSS file it can affect that page, and it may affect another page that uses that CSS call/element. Example: Say you have light Grey font on a white background and you make it black. Well if there is another page on your site that uses that same call for the font color and you change it to black. But on this page, the background is already black...then you won't see the text at all. It doesn't happen very often in phpfox though. Just make sure to write down exactly what you changed and for what page/location and for why. This way if you do change something, and later on you find another page is having an issue you can search for that call in your records. If you find it, then you can test it or change in using inspect element and see if you can find a better choice. Like in this example...maybe red font which will show up against black as well as a white background. Look up on youtube for INSPECT ELEMENT to learn more.
Thanks John that was really helpful. I was able to find the other field and change the color in there. Thanks again for the assistance.
Very helpful guide. We can also use Chrome or Safari. These browsers also support inspecting HTML elements very well.
This was very helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain that John.

Tyson Gay aims for Tommie Smith's 44-year-old record
Manchester Great City Games
Date: 16 May Coverage: Great Manchester Run 1000-1130 BST & Great City Games 1630-1800 BST live on BBC Two and BBC Sport website (UK users only)
Watch Tyson Gay win the 200m at Crystal Palace in 2009
Tyson Gay will attempt to beat sprint legend Tommie Smith's 44-year-old straight 200m record at the Great City Games in Manchester on 16 May.
Gay holds the third fastest time for a traditional 200m race, which uses a bend, having run 19.58 seconds in 2009.
Smith set the straight 200m record of 19.5 sec on a cinder track 1966.
Meanwhile, Gay will run the 200m at the British Grand Prix in Gateshead on 10 July and the 100m at the London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace on 13-14 August.
"I've been to Gateshead twice and was able to win both times," said Gay.
"I'm hoping to make it three in a row when I go back to compete in July.
I've already programmed my mind to run faster than 9.69 this year
Tyson Gay
"The crowd is always great, really lively and energetic. I look forward to giving them a great show.
"Competing in London is always great. The stadium is always packed and there's a great carnival atmosphere."
At the Great City Games in Manchester 65-year-old Texan Smith, who won gold at the 1968 Games in Mexico City, will be in attendance to see Gay's performance.
Even if Gay breaks the mark, he could still be short of Usain Bolt's 200m world record of 19.19 sec, which he set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
Gay goes into the race in impressive form; in winning the 400m at the Tom Jones Classic in Gainesville, Florida on 17 April he became the first man to go under 10 seconds for the 100m, 20 sec for the 200m and 45 sec over 400m.
The 27-year-old's achievements was made the more impressive considering his 400m time was the only time this season he has run in spikes.
"I hope my 400 relates to my 200 time dropping down and I think that's the key," said Gay.
"I'm healthy and for me to open over 44.8 by accident, having not been training in spikes or done any speed work, I think that's amazing."
I for one am looking forward to seeing Bolt and Gay race over the 200m this year
Gay finished with the silver medal in the 100m at the 2009 World Championships behind Bolt, but missed the showdown with the Jamaican in the 200m because of a groin injury.
An operation on the troublesome problem followed in November last year, but a fully recovered Gay believes he can challenge Bolt for gold at the 2011 World Championships in South Korea and the London 2012 Olympics - if he stays free of injuries.
"I think 2006 was the last time I was injury free for the whole season and I had a very successful season that year," he said.
"I am really looking forward to staying healthy going into a World Championship year.
"My groin does feel 100% and I'm very happy about that. I'm not looking for any minor setbacks right now."
Gay has also targeted lowering his personal 100m best of 9.69 seconds - the second fastest time in history - and challenge Bolt's world record 9.58secs, set in Berlin last year.
"I've already programmed my mind to run faster than 9.69 this year," said Gay, who is six inches shorter than the 6ft 5in Bolt.
Smith will watch Gay attempt to beat his 44-year-old mark
"t's not necessarily unfair, just unfortunate that he's taller than me.
"It actually allows me to look at myself at being a greater talent, able to run not necessarily as fast as him but close to his times despite only being 5ft 11ins.
"He has the turnover and the stride length and I have the turnover, a shorter stride and I am still trying to cover as much ground.
"I guess its not even height-wise but at the same time there's nothing I can do about that."
Gay is confident the straight track in Manchester will help him generate that extra bit of speed.
"I've been running around a bend all my life and everyone knows a straight line is always faster than running around a curve," added Gay.
"But at the same time I think running a straightaway plays a lot of mind games with the person.
"If you are running fast on a straightaway your body may fatigue early as well. I think it's all about the mind, it kind of controls the body in that type of race."
Gay will be competing against Panama sprinter Alonso Edwards on the specially erected track, which was first used along the streets of Manchester at the 2009 Great City Games.
There, triple Olympic champion Bolt set a new world record time of 14.35 seconds in the 150m race.
This year, Olympic gold medallist Christine Ohuruogu will go head-to-head with fellow Brit Jessica Ennis, the world heptathlon and pentathlon holder, over 150m.
Smith's career highlight was winning 200m gold at the 1968 Games, becoming the first man to dip under the 20-second mark, but is perhaps best remembered for his "Black Power" salute alongside countryman John Carlos during the medal presentation.

Inflammation can be the cause of pain and weakness of knees. It is very important to include in your diet foods which are anti-inflammatory such as turmeric, walnuts, ginger, spinach, avocados, blueberries, sweet potatoes, tart cherries, olive oil, and salmon. Make sure to avoid inflammatory foods as white rice, white flour products, foods which are high in saturated fats, sugary foods, and soda.
Swimming can be very effective in treating knee pain and arthritis because it is an overall fitness. It will reduce the stiffness of the knees, strengthens the bones and the muscles of the knee joints.
You need to swim 30 minutes a day. Butterfly stroke, backstroke, and front crawl are the most effective swimming strokes. Make sure to avoid breaststroke because it applies pressure on the knees joints.
Exercises strengthen the knee bones and align the joints. The muscles surrounding the knee will be strengthened, which will improve their condition. Knee bends, step-ups, hamstring stretches with thigh contraction, lunges, straight-leg raises, squats with a Swiss ball, and single-leg squats are some of the most beneficial exercises. It is very important to perform these exercises 30 minutes a day, 4-5 times weekly.
Usually, extremely low levels of magnesium are present in people who have weak knees, or people who suffer from knee pain because of osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis. Epsom salt is rich in magnesium and it can effectively relieve this condition. It supports the calcium absorption, thus enabling a proper muscle function, and alleviating the inflammation around the knee joints. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in a half a cup of water. Soak a washcloth in the solution and apply in on your knees. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes. Then, you can rinse it off with warm water. Repeat this procedure two times a week. Also, once or twice a week, you can make an Epsom salt bath. Add a cup of Epsom salt in your bath, and soak in it for 20 minutes.
Vitamin C is essential for the collagen formation. It is extremely important for the proper bones development, synthesis of collagen, and quality of bone matrix. Furthermore, it can enhance the bone mass density and reduce the risk of fractures. Vitamin C is found in foods like spinach, berries, lemon, broccoli, papaya, bell peppers, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, oranges, cauliflower, and kiwi. Also, you can take it as supplements such as chewable tablets or capsules.
Vitamin D is significantly important for joints and bones health. The risk of minimal trauma fractures and bone loss is increased by the deficiency of vitamin D. Also, the body will not be able to absorb enough calcium, if it has a deficiency of this mineral. It is known that exposure to the sun is how our body produces vitamin D. So, spend at least 15 minutes a day in the sun. Vitamin D can be found in fish, fortified cereals, egg yolks, cod liver oil, and dairy products. Also, you can take some supplements recommended by your doctor.
Calcium is essential for the health of the bones. The deficiency of calcium can lead to weakening and thinning of bones, which causes osteoporosis. Because calcium is not produced by our body in a natural way, we need to take supplements and dietary sources in order to supply it. Calcium can be found it cheese, milk, dark leafy greens, almonds, edamame, blackstrap molasses, fortified orange juice, sardines, and calcium-fortified cereals. If you want to take supplements, choose those with vitamin D, because it helps the absorption of calcium. Visit your doctor so you can get the proper dose.
Another effective way to treat knee pain and strengthen the knee area is massage. If it is done on a regular basis, it can improve circulation. Use coconut, mustard, or olive oil to rub your knees with firm but gentle movements (clockwise, and counter-clockwise) for 10-15 minutes. If you feel that there is a need, you can massage your knees two times a day. However, you should consult a massage therapist in case you suffer from a chronic knee pain.
Fish oil can enhance the bone density and strengthen the knee joints as it contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-3 fatty acids. Also, the stiffness and joint pain will be alleviated due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties.
The excess body weight can also be a reason for weaken joints. It applies much more pressure on the knees and the joints need to do much more work. The risk of hip or knee replacement is increased by obesity. In order to enhance the strength and stability of the knees, it is very important to lose excess pounds.

The RAM of your computer acts as the computer's "working" memory. The operating system and every program, application, and process requires memory to operate. The more memory your computer has available, generally speaking, the more it can do at once. Replacing your Asus A53U-ES21's RAM with faster and larger memory can noticeably improve its performance.


This week I've been experiencing my Flourite Yoni Egg. First, let me say that I'd felt called to this particular crystal for some time.
I'm a Crystal Whisperer (my term for a person who works with Crystals and who crystals speak to) and Flourite is often a stone that desires to come with me whenever I travel. It's a fabulous multitasking stone because it works on SO many levels. That said this is the first time I've actually used her internally. I've had the egg for 2 days.
So far I've felt subtle energy blocks being cleared. Strength and bravery showing up, and detachment from outcomes being infused in my cells. It's like it's Upgrading my Vibration another level or three. On my Facebook page, I suggested this particular egg only for those at level 3 Consciousness or above – this was not to be snobbish. Flourite used internally is such a Powerhouse that I suggest being ready for the shifts she's going to bring so that your life isn't totally thrown into chaos. The intensity of the emotional changes prevent ignoring them and the acceleration of your vibration can be heady, overwhelming and challenging. After receiving all of the emotional shifts and spiritual downloads I felt nauseous for a few hours – which has now passed.
I always like to tell of ways that you can involve your partner/mate in your experiences. My Beloved actually picked out the egg for me from a basket full of eggs. He really felt into which one was "my" egg. That made the egg even more precious to me. Also – while my egg has been tucked snuggly inside of me, during our affectionate time He placed a finger inside of me and felt it. There was something so touching, intimate and sacred about that simple act. He said it's like I have a secret tucked inside.
I'm looking forward to seeing how long she want's to stay in. I'll come update this page with the number of days I keep her in.

Home improvements are one of the best ways to add style, functionality, and value to your home. You need to take many things into consideration as you are developing a plan on how to change your home to make it suit your family's needs. In this article, we present a number of interesting home improvement tips to assist you in creating the best home environment for everyone in your household.
Hire a professional to do a inspection of your new home. This will give you an objective evaluation and allow you to see things from different perspective. Having a professional that is neutral will also be beneficial to both parties.
If you are considering a substantial home renovation, consult with a professional designer or architect to help with your plans. If you choose not to hire a contractor, your plans are likely not to materialize well. A professional will plan for renovations that will meet building codes and will add value to your home.
Construction adhesive is great for stopping floor squeaks. If you do this, be aware that you are going to have to go under your home. Apply some glue to each floor joist with the aid of a caulking gun to secure them to the floor planks.
Does your vinyl floor covering have a bubble in it? If so, then pop it! If you have a bubble in that old vinyl floor, simply slice it open and the air will release. This will make the bubble flat temporarily. After this you need to insert some glue to keep the floor sealed. You can find glue that is specially sold in a syringe to make this job as easy as possible.
If your wall has holes in it from pictures, spackle them. You can buy spackle at any home improvement store. You won't need a lot, particularly if the holes are tiny. You can even use a pin to apply spackle to a tiny hole. Once you get the spackle to dry you need to smooth that hole over with a rigid object so that the wall can be smooth. Add a coat of paint. This method will make holes vanish in single night!
If you're purchasing new furniture, it's best to avoid pieces that have busy upholstery. Purchasing items that have distinct patterns such as floral or geometric shapes prevents you from being creative with your other decor. Purchase furniture in solid colors like black, brown, blue or green, and use accessories to highlight the furniture. Throw pillows and blankets will allow you to add any patterns or design you choose but won't let the patterns take over your room.
Do you want to know how to transform your home into a place you can really be proud of? You can learn to do anything you set your mind to. It can be both fun and useful to do your own renovations. The following tips and techniques will teach you how to complete many home improvement projects.
Add elegance to your home with a unique addition. For example, a wall-to-wall library or wine cellar. This is a good way to improve the value of your home, make it more comfortable and have a fun project to work on.
It can be a very large expenditure to purchase brand new furniture. Sometimes you can find great bargains in second-hand stores or yard sales. There may be a lot of cool used things you find, like new furniture. Some pieces of furniture may require work. It could be well worth the investment, though.
To make a quick, easy improvement, go grab a gallon or two of paint. Fresh paint has the ability to make a home feel new again and is easy and cheap to apply. New paint is sure to enhance the visual appeal of your house to potential purchasers.
Today's solar panels are more efficient than ever and easier to install. Don't be scared off by the initial cost. Over time, you will make back your initial investment, which can be a big plus considering rising electricity costs. This saves you money on energy costs due to the use of stored energy. In addition, this is a green option that benefits Mother Earth!
It's not always a good idea to fix leaks on your own. Just place a container under the leak to collect the water and get in touch with a professional plumber.
Use clear plastic boxes to arrange the contents of your garage. Select boxes that stack, and label each one. This is a cost effective way of cleaning out your garage, as well as keeping rodents and bugs away from your things.
Don't buy furniture that has busy prints. Your whole home gets decorated around that busy pattern. Purchase furniture that is decorated or made in solid colors and tones, then accessorize with patterns. Patterns are easier to take in small doses such as blankets and toss pillows.
Sand wooden objects before staining to make sure the wood is smooth. Follow up by wiping with a damp cloth. Sanding the object with fine grit sandpaper will help give the object a smooth finish. The wet cloth will help eliminate dust.
If you are becoming bored of your current home or need more space, consider a home renovation before you buy a new property. Home renovations give you the freedom to mold your home into exactly what you want. A renovation is also usually less costly and stressful than buying a new home.
While you notice house repairs that should be made, where do you start? Is this what you've been thinking lately? Many people avoid starting improvements to their home as they are unsure where to begin. The article that follows can get you started in the right direction.
Before you start on any serious improvement to your home, think about what style fits you. The decorating theme you choose will narrow down your choices in several different areas. It is easy to fall in the trap of switching styles in the middle of a project, and not seeing the error of your ways until it's too late. You will then be able to make changes instead of wasting money.
Use a porch light with motion sensors to illuminate your yard while saving costs on your electric bill. You will still be able to turn the light on manually when you need to, and the motion detector can be adjusted for sensitivity.
Think about adding coordinated metal fixtures to bathrooms to make them look more modern without spending too much. There are many varieties of bathroom hardware available, such as cabinet knobs and toilet paper holders. You can put these in quickly and easily, especially if you buy the prepackaged coordinating sets available at your local DIY store.
Home improvement projects allow you to stamp your own style on your home, and they can be simple to do if you plan projects out. This allows you to concentrate on the task itself instead of leaving you distracted by details relating to cost and design. To get ideas look through magazines, watch DIY TV shows and pay attention to the homes of friends and family members.
If you are doing some work on your house, you need to have a drill. It will allow you to make holes of different sizes so that you can screw things together, and it can allow you to drive in screws with various attachments. You should invest in a good 9 volts cordless drill with different drill bits as well as attachments for Phillips and flat-head screws.
If you are hiring a contractor to perform your home improvement work, it is important to keep records. You can't assume your contractor will do this. Save any contracts and invoices related to your project. This helps everyone involved stay focused on the current task.
If you have cane-bottomed chairs, you can expect to see some sagging as they get older. It's actually quite easy to repair caned chair seats. Wet a sponge and run it under the caning. It works best with warm water. Allow the water to sit on the caning for an overnight period. Keep repeating until it's repaired.
You can give yourself the home of your dreams with the right information and the right tools. The information below is loaded with great tips and ideas on how you can get the most out of any home improvement project. Read each tip to learn how to turn potential into reality in your home.
You should make sure you take into consideration how much you value your personal ideas against your home's value whenever you decide to sell. Highly customized projects may not be a potential buyer's taste and may even detract from your home's value.
Take advantage of the experience of a home designer or architect to plan any major home improvement project. If you do it yourself, you may not have the right plans, technically, and fail. An experienced designer or architect can create a remodeling plan that incorporates all the appropriate building codes for your area as well.
Boring, simple lampshades have no personality. Brighten up a lamp shade by using stencils and acrylic paint. By doing this, you will give your house a better look with more personality.
Your first tool purchase should be a great drill. It will allow you to make holes of different sizes so that you can screw things together, and it can allow you to drive in screws with various attachments. It is best to own a drill that has nine volts and all the standard drill bits.
Appliance paint can be used to update the appearance of your kitchen in just hours. Update your appliances with black, white or metal colored appliance paint. Instead, opt to paint your appliances. You can change the entire feel of the kitchen in the span of a day.
Be sure to keep your own records when you work with a contractor on a home improvement project. Do not just rely on the contractor to keep track of hours worked and expenses incurred. Hold onto any contracts, invoices, receipts and other paperwork related to your home improvement project. This will help both you and your contractor remain focused on the task at hand.
If you're a homeowner, never hire an unlicensed contractor for work around your house. Contractors are required by law to have some certifications. Of course, this doesn't mean your contractor is competent, but is does show that he has the proper credentials. Unlicensed contractors usually lack insurance as well, meaning that you take a major risk in hiring them.
The decision to renovate or expand your current property is far more affordable than trying to start anew by purchasing a new home. This allows you to personalize your home so that you are fully satisfied with your living space. A well-planned renovation is far more affordable than purchasing a new home; it also gives you a greater degree of control over your surroundings.
These are a number of simple, do-it-yourself home improvement tasks, even if you're only a beginner. These projects can not only increase the value of a home, but also make it a more pleasant place to live. The following article offers tips and techniques on home improvement.
When buying a home, always set up a home inspection by a professional. This way, you do not have to figure out on your own or rely on a seller let you know about things that must be repaired or replaced if you purchase the home. This professional will give an unbiased opinion to aid you in your home buying.
It's a good idea to clean your air conditioner filter regularly. Whenever the filter is dirty, your air conditioner will be forced to work harder in order to keep a cool home. As a result, more energy will be used, which means more money will be coming out of your pocket. It may also stay on for a longer period of time. To prevent a buildup of dust and debris, change the AC or furnace filter monthly.
New furniture is expensive. Instead of buying new you can get creative by finding unique pieces that are gently used. Real treasures could be found among used items, such as furniture. Some things require work, but by investing time, they can become an asset.
When it comes to home improvement, be sure to pay attention to the most visible improvements. Your potential buyers have no choice but to judge your house by what they see, and having things such as peeling paint and overgrown hedges may cause you to lose the sale. While it is true that some of the most important improvements are not obvious, for the selling of your house you need to focus on the obvious visual ones.
You can get rid of that ugly bubble in your vinyl flooring with a shot! Simply slice it to let out the trapped air. This will make the bubble flat. After this you need to insert some glue to keep the floor sealed. Use glue that you buy in syringes to do the job.
Consider adding extra insulation during your next project. Use weather stripping around windows and doors. Your cooling and heating systems will operate more efficiently if you can minimize the outside air that enters your home. Money saved means money to be placed towards more important projects around the house.
If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you owe it to yourself to buy only the best tools and supplies. It might be more expensive in the beginning, but it will save you money for years. Cheap tools and materials can break or wear down quickly. It's not desirable to replace expensive tools frequently.

Lucky octopus, Couture help Sharks beat Red Wings in OT
/ by Tom Dierberger
When forward Jeffrey Viel knotted Tuesday night's game at two goals apiece in the third period, the only thing standing in the way of the Sharks' third straight victory was Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic.
Oh, and an octopus.
The act of throwing an octopus onto the ice is a goofy yet established tradition for Red Wings fans which originated in the 1950s. Supposedly, the eight arms of the octopus once signified the eight victories it took to win the Stanley Cup. Detroit has embraced the tradition and even has an octopus named Al as its unofficial mascot. It's not uncommon to witness the occasional octopus thrown onto the ice at Little Caesars Arena.
It is, however, unusual to see at SAP Center. And especially in overtime.
The fake octopus landed in the neutral zone in the opening seconds of the OT period. No whistles were blown. Play didn't come to a halt. Instead, a linesman grabbed it, and San Jose continued to push the puck down the ice. Just a few moments later, Brent Burns slid a pass to Logan Couture, who swatted it in for a game-winning goal.

— Sharks on NBCS (@NBCSSharks) January 12, 2022
"It was weird because the crowd was screaming and yelling," Couture told reporters after the 3-2 win. "I didn't know what was going on. I looked up, and I thought there was a jersey on the ice. I got closer and I saw it was an octopus."
Officials reviewed the goal for several minutes to ensure the octopus didn't interfere with the play.
"It's something you don't see every day," Timo Meier told reporters after the game. "It's their tradition. But I guess it brought us luck."
Tuesday night marked the first game back for Couture, who missed the Sharks' last three contests while in COVID-19 protocols.
"Oh, I had energy," Couture said. "I was in a hotel room for five days. I was sitting, thinking about how I wish I was skating on the ice. It brought me more energy being around the guys. … It's nice to win."
San Jose now is 6-0 in games decided in overtime. The Sharks' only defeat in a contest settled outside of regulation was a 3-2 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils on Nov. 6.
"We've got some guys who can hang on to pucks and make plays," Meier said. "Every time we've got guys on the ice [in overtime], we've got three threats to score."
The Sharks will continue their four-game homestand Thursday night against the New York Rangers.
We'll have to wait to see if the lucky octopus decides to stick around.

65.50 Problem Sensitivity The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing there is a problem.
53.00 Fluency of Ideas The ability to come up with a number of ideas about a topic (the number of ideas is important, not their quality, correctness, or creativity).


Fans outside of the UK -- including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand -- will be able to register to receive in-game clips via a Twitter direct message (DM) bot from Arsenal ( @Arsenal ) , Chelsea ( @ChelseaFC ) , Manchester City ( @ManCity ) , Manchester United ( @ManUtd ) and Tottenham Hotspur ( @SpursOfficial ) fixtures.

Do You Carry Your Emotional Baggage Everywhere?
Dumping your old emotional hurts onto the new people that come into your life experiences is a sign that you carry your old emotional baggage with you.
You might feel that emotional baggage is protecting you from getting hurt again, but it's only hurting your present and the new relationships that come in to your life.
Emotional baggage is a collection of old emotional hurts that were created in the past with a character from your life story. This baggage causes you to be fearful when similar situations seem to come back in your present life.
Emotional baggage is then a collection of unresolved emotional hurts from the past.
Don't you get tired of carrying this baggage around with you all the time? It must be exhausting. I know for sure mine was. Fortunately, I now travel light.
When new people come in to your life and trigger, with word or action, the small memory of that past painful experience you had, they get a taste of your wrath, even though they didn't cause the original pain.
Or you could be acting out in a defensive way while the new person in your life doesn't have a clue where your actions are coming from. That reaction of yours is a safety mechanism to keep you from feeling and getting hurt again.
You might have had a similar experience in which you were talking to someone and all of the sudden you get a defense reaction and you have no idea where it came from. Well, those are reactions from the old emotional baggage they still carry with them.
The fear imprinted in the experiences from our past that are in our emotional baggage prevent us from moving forward in certain aspects of our lives that, had those not been there, we would advance and grow significantly.
Emotional baggage is not only taking you back to the past to re-experience old emotional hurts, but it's holding you back from experiencing and receiving the good stuff in life.
Also, going back to the past to re-experience and or remember old emotional pains only hurts yourself since you're bringing that negative energy from that time to the present moment. This negative energy gets you in an emotional state from where you would not be able to create anything positive since that energy comes from negative feeling emotions.
Identify it –Notice it's the presence of old emotional baggage that's making you distrustful and it's making you believe you're going to get hurt again. If you pay attention to those moments when you feel a recurrence from an old emotional pain, you'll eventually identify where it's coming from.
See it coming –If you cannot deal with the emotion at the moment you identified it, make a mental note of it so you can identify it when it's coming to you again.
Evaluate –Evaluate the situation you're experiencing and ask yourself if the current situation is even close to what you experienced before or if are your thoughts and beliefs that make it look like it is.
Stay in the present situation –Bring your awareness to the present moment and pay attention to the situation at hand. Once you are present, instead of going to your past, you'll be better able to handle it appropriately.
Once you learn to see an old emotional hurt coming, you're going stay centered and be able to put that emotion to the side while you're having an interaction with the person you have in front of you, and you'll deal with that emotion at another moment so it can be released once and for all.
This is going to change your perspective and focus on what you're doing at the moment. This will also help you stay present, living in the NOW, and creating the life you always wanted.
Another sign of carrying your baggage with you is when you keep talking about the same emotional hurts over and over again to whoever lends you an ear.
You need to realize that doing so only makes your baggage larger and heavier since your present is now tainted with that old negative energy from your past stories.
You also need to realize that those experiences are no longer here and that you need to resolve them so they never come back. Follow the 4 steps above to help you resolve them or contact me to help you with emotional healing.

play. play. play play play play play. to c.w. news live from berlin and concerns over the climate looks set to play a key role in upcoming european elections with less than a week to go until europeans begin voting in a new parliament poll to show that climate change is a major issue we will hear from a leader of the fridays for future protest to says that action must follow birds.
also coming up talks to end the burns a deadlock to break down in the u.k. the opposition labor party has pulled the plug after 6 weeks of negotiations with prime minister theresa back flopsy was for 3 years a victim of continuous cycle of holster stuck you're stuck with your rate the state . calls for a legal challenge after the state of alabama passes america's most restrictive abortion law our correspondent visits the state to talk with people on all sides of the divide plus the sourpuss that made the internet smile on line sensation drop the cat has died at the age of 7 passing mourned by millions of feline back just. plain. welcome to the program. there is now less than a week to go until e.u.
parliamentary elections and environmental protection is very much on the mind of voters millions across europe have joined movements like fridays for future and extinction rebellion to demand more action on climate change and a recent survey shows that this is what voters want to see prioritize check this out 77 percent worry about global warming while 80 percent are concerned about air pollution 81 percent want to see more sustainable agriculture implemented and 82 percent better environmental protection so you policymakers they're starting to listen but activists say there's still a long way to go it want you to panic a blunt message to the european parliament from swedish activist gretta to embarrass the teenager has given the world a wake up call with her urgent appeal for climate action. the global youth movement she inspired has shifted the climate change debate forcing it both to the top of the use agenda and party campaigning ahead of the blocks parliamentary elections
next week so what is the e.u. done so far to tackle the climate crisis. in march the european parliament voted to ban single use plastics starting in 2021 as part of sweeping legislation against plastic waste that pollutes beaches and oceans. it's agreed a near total ban on insecticides that have been linked to a dramatic drop in the numbers of wild bees honeybees and other culling nadirs. the e.u. parliament is pushing to put cleaner cars on europe's roads by 2030. and it wants to slash its greenhouse gases by 40 percent in the next 11 years some experts say that's not enough but right now it doesn't look like any single member state will be able to meet that target. reason enough for protesters across europe to keep pushing for faster climate action in brussels. and one of those
protesters is francisco she joins us now she is one of the leading figures of friday's for future here in germany so i mean as we saw there we saw that the european union has indeed taken some action in the past what do you make of what they've done i think it's really nice to talk about climate action. just for the european polyamory and. even if they're talking about they have to act and they're not doing enough because we have to stay at the paris agreement. go. and have any future yeah i think it's not unfair. if talk about. forward but i don't think that especially for young people such as yourself who really want that dramatic action so. now we have these elections coming up here here in the e.u. and you know when you're out of the streets of places like berlin for example you're seeing all these posters and
a lot of them are focusing on climate change as an issue are you encouraged by that does that give you some hope i think sometimes it's in funny to see what they're doing what they're talking about climate action when there and then never did something to richer said this paris agreement and sometimes it's kind of funny about i think it's really nice but now they're beginning to talk about climbers begin to talk about climate change because it's one of the questions of our. years because we don't have any much time we don't have time to have to save a war of so it's the most imparting question about this european elections and the clock is really taking you know that you can't vote i mean a lot of the people who are part of your movement fridays for future you're too young to vote in the act now are you afraid that you're not having a say in your own future yes of course are afraid to register for a $22.00 won't have a future so all of these all these adults have to have a. possibility to take action to vote for those parties who say that we have to act
now because i don't think that having you here just marched off so lay it out for me imagine a situation where i'm sitting in front of you right now what would i need to do in order to satisfy the demands of your movement to make you start stop demonstrating every single friday i think like i say it's just just sick of this post agreement even the i.p.c.c. report they just laid down what we have to do what we have to do to save this road and if our political just staci just how to listen up the scientists and really we will have a big step forward so all these politicians have to this is not the scientists and have to have to save a would have to save a future it's friday you don't go to school today you have. your teachers how do they feel about that i think not sorry about it but. i've just tried every friday i do you stand for what you believe in francisca vessel thank you so much if we say
that. well here in germany lawmakers have paved the way for the use of east hooters on streets where cars drive debate in the country has been fierce over the issue the best friends want protection and many motorists see them as a hassle here's. their compact and they run on electricity east scooters will be hitting german streets soon. these 2 women are test drivers sophia and selena both from bombay are going to various neither of them britain and east scooter before now a representative from the public utilities company gives them a crash course in how it works and they're both excited to hit the street on the new form of transport and stuff like that in terms of traffic cause it's like being on a bike the flu will have to see how it goes with cars and buses in the middest. helmets are required here and there are once those are on sophia and selena are off.
after practicing in a parking lot they head into the city traffic the scooters go up to 20 kilometers an hour east routers aren't allowed on sidewalks and barrack during the official test phase writers have to use the bike lane if there isn't one they have to go on the road as traffic builds up sophia and selena have to stay focused as if it is a big this soon turning is tough you have to do say many things of once you have to concentrate on going forward to keep an eye out for the traffic check behind you and put on the brakes one of i miss but everything so far there haven't been any accidents here in baghdad and with a few restrictions the german government decided on friday to allow east scooters for people over 14 as long as they stay off the sidewalks. well now we're heading to london where talks between the u.k. government and the opposition labor party aimed at finding a break the compromise have collapsed labor leader jeremy corbyn ended the
negotiations saying that it's to be. in prime minister teresa mayes government had so doubt that any deal between the 2 sides would be kept talks have been underway for 6 weeks in an effort to break a deadlock on the terms of the u.k.'s departure from the here came here. here's what the 2 had to say after those talks ended. well as germany called and says actually these talks have been constructive and we've made progress the areas where we have been able to find common ground but other issues of proved to be more difficult and in particular we haven't been able to overcome the fact that there isn't a common position in labor about whether they want to deliver it wrecks it or hold a 2nd referendum which could reverse it the government has not moved its position from the bank to the fundamental disagreements we want to have a customs arrangement with the european union protects jobs and trade and we want to have a dynamic relationship on rights we put those years very strong into the government we would not rule out physical for the but it would be
a referendum to something 16 terms it would be a referendum games and no 2 you castro protects the european. so that's what they have to say let's get more now we're joined from london by do very own mass as we've heard there get these talks they have broken down who's to blame. well the hoda process has been described by some as shadow boxing say they were going through the motions the leaders and the party spot the hard maybe hasn't really been in it and in particular there was deep skepticism as to whether jeremy corbyn would really like to participate in what he has so far always called a tory briggs it so blaming anything that's bad about bricks and on the tories and whether he would actually want to be brought in connection with this president all but of course reason why is blaming it all on the labor party and on their differences particularly over a 2nd referendum so this leaves us once again with
a situation really of deadlock we don't know where are we going from here and meanwhile the new brags apart the niger ferocious new party is campaigning in the european elections and they are really sagging in the polls so that means that a lot of british people i think really have just enough of bricks or they have enough of what's going on and when and westminster and they want some sort of change and even if that means leaving without a deal there are many who would just consider that so very good then i mean what is likely to happen next and how likely is a 2nd referendum. well we know that reason may once again wants to try and bring her to palm and however this is already failed 3 time and whether this will actually happen a 4th time i have to be i have to say i'm very very dubious about that so many people ia think that she does have
a chance but she will hope that the success of the bricks of party will shop in minds of someone her own party particularly on the bread side and also possibly the northern irish parties who are just worried about the situation of northern ireland say that can't be that there is a slight chance however if there isn't then we are faced with a new deadline which is at the end of october so if nothing is agreed in parliament then this is the day that britain just has to leave the european union and the prime minister whoever this may be at the time probably not treason may because she has said that she will go but the new prime minister the prime minister in britain would have to decide what happens then will he or she decide just to go without a deal with a just revoke article 50 and stop rexx it altogether or possibly call for another referendum and throw the whole thing back out to people this is certainly work days are hoping for in the u.k.
you are campaigning for a 2nd referendum and the chances all slim at this point but it's not impossible still no clear direction on birds and the clock is certainly taking mass with an update from london thank you. check now some other stories making news around the world runs foreign minister has called on the 5 remaining signatories of a 2015 nuclear deal to take concrete action to save it around previously warned that it with scale back some of its commitments under the deal a year after the us left the pact and reimposed sanctions. the rwandan rebel leader colics mana has appeared before the media following his arrest in april he was a spokesperson for the national liberation front an armed group which has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks he claims that his group's agenda is to topple long serving president paul kagame me. and in north macedonia hundreds of high school students have taken part in an annual parade it involves participating in
a traditional dance which the students in the city of skokie are performing with umbrellas every year around 70 cities in the south eastern europe hosts similar parades to celebrate their graduates. the china born architect who shaped urban landscapes i am paid has died at the age of 102 his works were held by many but also met with some controversy they range from hong kong's bank of china skyscraper to the classic pyramid in the courtyard of the loos in pairs. well this week the u.s. state of alabama passed the country's most restrictive anti abortion law the new code bans abortion except when the mother's life is in danger and today the state of missouri is expected to pass a similar restrictive bam a pro-choice supporters say that these laws violate roe versus wade the landmark supreme court decision back in 1983 that legalized abortion they're trying to
safeguard access to the procedure our correspondent helen humphrey traveled to alabama to talk with people on both sides of the divide. the out of our mistake capitol has become the latest front line in a fight for reproductive rights that most pro-choice activists thought they had won in the 1970 s. inside this building republican governor kay ivey signed the bill into law and now she has a battle on her hands she has the support of proponents like the lori mullins who runs the co pregnancy center in montgomery alabama offering baby items and parenting classes in an effort to dissuade women from seeking abortions like the bill itself she sees no exceptions even in the case of rape or incest if you believe that. at conception it is a person then you have to believe that all life is sacred how i was conceived has no should have no impact on the value of my life why would you protect lives.
and say except yours yours is not the case of incest that is a really really difficult discussion to have it's never right there is no good answer but at the same time the way the law is now we see it all the time if a child is being molested and she becomes pregnant at 13 or 14 or 15 the family takes her to have an abortion the only person who wins in that scenario is the person who was abusing her while proponents of the text want it to include few exceptions to see it potentially go all the way up to the supreme court and maybe even overturn roe v wade itself opponents of the bill like you state will make his of playing politics with women's bodies one of them is mago hotline dressed as a handmade the pro-choice activists protested on the steps of the state government as the bill was passed and my. personal. stake in this is that i
was for 3 years a big dim of continuous sexual assaults and i did think that i was pregnant when i think about someone who might be in the situation that i was and isn't able to. escape from that or stuck you're stuck with your rapist's baby and currently with her new 3 abortion clinics in the entire state choices already seem limited alongside her work as an activist mia raven also works in an abortion clinic patients often find themselves in dangerous circumstances as an already difficult time tell me about harassment paint a picture for me about what a woman might face coming into the clinic where you work the minute she pulls in said driveway she's going to be greeted by some protesters the minute she walks out of a corridor and screaming at her telling her that she doesn't need to be here and that she's still going to be a mother but she's going to be the mother of
a murder baby the doctor are used to southern states trying to build what they do. this is not an uncommon tactic they go after the providers especially the doctors is another way to cut down access because abortion can really go all day long but if you can't access or you might as well not have that right. those rights are being challenged not just in alabama but across republican held states in the south the midwest which is looking at a muni conservative supremum course and hoping that now might be the time to roll back reproductive rights the good. time once parliament has legalized same sex marriage it is the 1st in asia to pass such landmark legislation the bill overcame several hurdles including attempts by conservatives to remove any reference to marriage despite the outcome of the vote the issue of same sex marriage continues to divide the country. an emotional day for l g b t
rights campaigners as they celebrated their victory outside parliament in taipei. the legislation survived a last minute attempt by conservatives to pass a watered down version. today's a very significant day to us because we could finally pass a law is out to protect my family we've been fighting for this change in. law for 5 years and for the person to leave before i even choose and now that i do anything for it. it's a happy thing for me to taiwan compounds such a lot of your home although there were divisions it's still a happy occasion and i'm quite emotional 3 different bills were tabled for friday's vote but only one used the word marriage a bill satisfactory for rights campaigners the other versions backed by conservative lawmakers left out the term marriage altogether opponents say
lawmakers are ignoring the will of the people in a series of referendums last year and more than 2 thirds of voters said marriage should only be defined as a union between a man and a woman but that's far from the minds of these rights activists celebrating what is a landmark day. and there is more on taiwan's ground breaking new law still to come as the o.g.t.t. community celebrates we're hearing from gay activists in the suit with the song that her forte and put legalizing gay marriage means to her that's coming up later i'm getting used. to. the 1st in the catholic church the role of women who are not dons has long been a point of contention women are not allowed to become priests for example here in germany a group of catholic women say that they are sick of the male dominated church so they are boycotting the voluntary work that they do in calling for a more liberal forward thinking church they have chosen the motto maria 2.0 maria
being the german name for the virgin mary. they're determined to be heard the women of the maria $2.00 movement they want to a new reformed more woman friendly church they've gathered in front of the berlin cathedral to make their demands clear to the male dominated catholic church. we need equal treatment and rights i think things are going to change the time has come for people to smoothly finally realize that women in the catholic church should home various positions. since last saturday women have been protesting across germany for a more liberal catholic church they wear white shawls at improvised church services white is the color of hope hope that something will change. for the want is this the 1st demand is that all these cases of abuse be thoroughly investigated and
that the perpetrators be punished and removed from their positions the 2nd demand is that the church change its stunts on sexuality and the 3rd thing is that women must also be allowed to be ordained. according to a survey most bishops in germany reject the women's protest even the bishop of berlin the intended recipient of the message of these demonstrators didn't appear but one priest did show his solidarity. i also support their concerns something has to give in all church and the people who are here those who are truly involved in the church in their congregations and for whom it's really important to spend that time there and they really want that church to have a future that. these women don't want to just play supporting roles in the catholic church with their weeklong church boycott and protests they hope they can change
the face of the catholic church. the internet is in mourning the fraud that launched a 1000 means has passed away social media sensation grumpy cat has died at the age of 7 cats famous cow calls fyfield morphism shot her to online fame and even prompted his owner to quit her job and set up a company promoting her star pet who needs numerous t.v. appearances and starred in her own. give are now on this feline thanks and i am joined by d.w. social media editor data raghav so 1st of all i mean this is a cat why did she become so popular. well i can't believe there i have to talk about her in past tense but she did became become super popular she just she was able to capture everyone's heart due to her very well distinguish expression so
