Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The polar lights. The merry dancers. The aurora borealis. Whatever you call the northern lights they remain an elusive and hard to find phenomena for most people. Sure, they can occasionally appear in places as far south as the US-Canada border , the UK and Western Europe, but even then they are typically visible only to cameras rather than to the naked eye. Whisper it, but even if you go to 65° north—the Arctic Circle—the Northern Lights can often be underwhelming. That’s because faint displays look like little more than white-ish clouds that gradually change shape. Hardly life-changing, yet typical. However, if you get lucky and a geomagnetic storm rages above you it can be the sight of your life. In short, you need to be in the right place at the right time. That demands patience and luck. Oh, and some incredibly warm gloves help a lot. The best way to see the Northern Lights, therefore, is to go to the … [Read more...] about I Took The ‘Arctic Train’ To See The Northern Lights—Here’s How You Can Too

PHOTO: Protesters urge Thailand to "wash off dictatorship." (via Nation) For those who love the splashing water of Songkran but wish it was far more serious and political, a protest held yesterday fits the bill. M ore than 20 protesters from the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration, a pro-democracy group, gathered outside the Parliament complex to symbolically “wash off the dictatorship” with water. The rally took place the day after an announcement in the Royal Gazette confirmed the dissolution of the House of Representatives to make way for a General Election on May 14. The protesters took to the streets to call for a clean slate and a fresh start in the upcoming elections visually and tangibly, urging voters – and any would-be coup-ponderer in the government – to use the elections to move Thailand away from military dictatorship and towards democracy. To visualise this cleansing, the demonstrators set out equipped with buckets of water, detergent, … [Read more...] about Wash off the dictatorship: Protesters splash for a cause

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline The U.S. Military released footage Thursday of what it said is a Russian fighter jet intercepting a U.S. drone over the Black Sea, an incident that’s heightened tensions between the U.S. and Moscow amid the war in Ukraine and comes amid reports that Moscow intentionally approved the collision. Key Facts The 42-second video, which was released by U.S. European Command and edited for length, shows the Russian aircraft flying twice over the MQ-9 drone and dumping fuel on it before the footage then briefly cuts out as the two aircrafts collide, which resulted in the drone’s propellor getting damaged and it landing in the Black Sea. A U.S. official told CNN the video “absolutely confirms” the Russian jet struck the drone, after Moscow had previously claimed the U.S. drone’s failure was the result of a “sharp maneuver” and its aircraft did not actually collide with the drone.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What is your usual reaction upon the release of a sequel to a major headline-grabbing blockbuster movie? Some people go see the sequel and declare that it is as good if not even better than the original. Others might have extraordinarily high expectations and after viewing the newer film proclaim it as reasonably good though nothing to howl ecstatically about. There are some that will undoubtedly be exceedingly disappointed, no matter what the latest movie includes, and will summarily declare that the first movie was unabashedly heads and tails above the sequel. That same range of reactions and emotions has come to the fore in the release yesterday of GPT-4 by AI maker OpenAI, taking place on Pi Day, namely 3.14 or March 14, 2023. Likely a coincidence of happening on the mathematician’s favorite pie-eating day, the GPT-4 unveiling did garner a lot of press attention and voluminous chatter on social media.

(CTN NEWS) – North Korea claimed it launched an ICBM on Friday to “strike fear into the adversaries,” as South Korea, Japan, and the United States committed to cooperate closely on regional security at a summit and conducted military drills nearby. A meeting between South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that took place hours later was overshadowed by the missile that North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un and his daughter watched from a distance launch Thursday. Rebuilding security relations between the frequently separated U.S. partners in the wake of North Korean nuclear threats was one goal of the Tokyo summit. North Korea has increased its tit-for-tat response to continuing U.S.-South Korean military drills, which are the largest of their sort in years, with four missile shows in about a week. The Biden administration is pushing to bolster its alliance network in Asia to confront the North Korean nuclear threat and China’s … [Read more...] about North Korea Claimed ICBM Launch Aimed To “strike fear into the adversaries”

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin How did prey species survive long enough to evolve warning coloration whilst living amongst predators who can better see them but have not yet learned to avoid them? © Copyright by GrrlScientist | hosted by Forbes Some of the world’s most spectacularly colorful animals are amphibians — especially frogs and salamanders. Many of these colorful animals are toxic or have developed some sort of chemical defense, and they rely on their brilliant colors to warn would-be predators to stay away. This form of advertising by an animal to warn its predators that it is not edible is a phenomenon known as aposematism. But how these animals become so colorful has inspired and mystified scientists for many decades. “If you’re the first conspicuous individual in a chemically defended lineage, it will be very difficult for that mutation to take hold in the population, because predators have no way of knowing your coloration … [Read more...] about How Do Poisonous Animals Get Their Warning Colors?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The ability to persuade is the most powerful weapon at a U.S. senator’s disposal. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) used that power at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on March 22, 2023, to encourage the executive branch and the U.S. Congress to revitalize America’s refugee program. “Since the founding of our nation, the United States has been seen as a beacon of light for people around the world—people with dreams of economic opportunity of religious and political freedom, and of a home free from violence and conflict,” said Sen. Padilla, chair of the Senate Judiciary Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety Subcommittee, in an opening statement. “And over generations, the view of America as a refuge for immigrants has been embraced across party lines.” Sen. Padilla cited a 2019 letter in which 18 senators—nine Republicans and nine Democrats—urged the Trump administration to maintain a viable refugee program.
