Enlarge ImageThis image was taken about two hours prior to Juno's closest approach to Jupiter. NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS Jupiter's south pole was well documented by Cassini on its way to Satu, but the north pole (home of Jovian Santa, one could only assume) has remained much more mysterious. This is set to change with the arrival of Jupiter probe Juno, which completed its first flyby of the north pole on August 27 and has already started delivering.On that flyby, Juno got busy taking photos with its JunoCam instrument from a distance of just 4,200 kilometres (2,500 miles) above Jupiter's clouds as it travelled over a period of six hours from the north pole to the south. The resulting 6 MB of data took NASA a day and a half to download.It will take even longer to fully analyse the data, but the photos have already revealed that there's nothing else like Jupiter's north pole in the solar system."First g,jupiter,jupiter ed,jupiter grades,jupiter north pole,jupiter florida,jupiter ascending,jupiter moons,jupiter pictures,jupiter ascending cast,jupiter ascending 2 ...ادامه مطلب

RoadshowNewsCar IndustryVolkswagen to stop selling most of its vehicles in South KoreaVolkswagen probably won't have to shell out $15 billion in South Korea, as it did in the US as part of its Dieselgate settlement. Alexander Koeer/Getty Images When Volkswagen admitted to willfully deceiving emissions testers around the world with its diesel vehicles, it immediately placed a stop-sale on its new cars in the US. It hasn't yet lifted that, nor has it sought to certify its latest models for sale. In South Korea, the company's taking it one step further, suspending sales of most of its models.VW's decision to hold off on selling most of its new cars in South Korea comes after months of poor sales, Reuters reports. In the first half of 2016, sales in the country dropped by 33 percent. "We have decided to suspend sales of the affected models to reduce confusion among dealers and customers," a VW spokesman told Reuters.South Korea's been taking VW's diesel malfeasance very seriously. Last month, a local Volkswagen executive was arrested, and the country's environment ministry is mulling an actual ban on VW Group sales, which would include Audi and Bentley vehicles. Over 30 vehicles may have their certification revoked, and recertification could take months.Volkswagen ended up in this position after it admitted to installing software meant to curtail emissions only in lab-testing environments. Out on the road, its diesels would pollute well in excess of legal limits. South Korean prosecutors have accused the company of faking documents for both emissions and noise-level tests, as well.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageKim Jong-zuck? James Martin/CNET Many younger types imagine Facebook as a nirvana where you skateboard down corridors, code all night long and wait for the money to start rolling in.Antonio García Martinez thinks it's a little more like North Korea.The former (and fired) Facebook product manager today released a book called "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley."A snippet or two had already dribbled out: Martinez describing CEO Mark Zuckerberg as having a near-psychopathic stare, for example.But now several publications have offered excerpts and interviews with the author that describe Facebook as, oh, let's leave it to his own words."We had slogans on the walls, we were all wearing a uniform," he told CBS This Moing. "It all felt very North Korean or Cuban, almost. And so in that moment, I just realized...the motive force in history, which is one egomaniac's twitchy drive and then the common man's desire to be part of a compelling story -- which is what we were, we just were bit players in Zuckerberg's story."I fancy skateboards are in shorter supply in Kim Jong-un's fiefdom. I also fancy that even gray T-shirts with discreet logos would be frowned upon.Still, Martinez, who worked for the company between 2011 and 2013, wants to draw your attention to the similarities between Facebook and repressive regimes. In excerpts published by the Daily Mail, he writes that the company has a KGB-like security force called the Sec that monitors employees' actions.He writes that if you incurred Zuckerberg's wrath, it wouldn't go well: "Fuck with Facebook and security guards would be hustling you out the door like a rowdy drunk at a late-night Taco Bell.'"He claims HR gave lectures to people about allegedly distracting clothing and mentions a "male HR author, ...ادامه مطلب

Enlarge Image Mark Godefroy/Women on Waves Women's advocacy groups have used a drone to send abortion pills to women in Northe Ireland. In a protest against abortion laws in both Northe Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Dutch group Women on Waves teamed up with Northe Irish group Alliance for Choice, Irish group Rosa and Northe Irish group Labour Alteative to airlift the medicine.The drone was flown across the border from County Louth in the Republic of Ireland to Narrow Water Castle in County Down, just after 10 a.m. local time on June 21. Women there took pills containing the abortifacient drugs mifepristone and misoprostol, which are listed as essential medicines by the World Health Organisation.In Northe Ireland, which is part of the UK but not covered by its Abortion Act, it is unlawful to perform an abortion except in the case where it is required to save the life of the mother, or if the pregnancy poses a risk to the physical or mental health of the mother. Penalties can be as severe as life imprisonment, although this occurs rarely; a Belfast woman earlier this year was handed a suspended sentence for taking abortion pills procured over the inteet.In the Republic of Ireland, it is unlawful to perform an abortion unless the mother's life is at risk, with a potential sentence of 14 years' imprisonment.Enlarge ImageWomen swallow abortion pills in Northe Ireland. Women on Waves If a woman in either country wants an abortion, she generally has to travel to the UK mainland to get one from a private clinic, at personal expense. According to statistics from the UK Department of Health, at least 3,451 women travelled to England and Wales for abortions in 2015. Just 16 abortions were performed in Northe Ireland during 2014 and 2015.And of course, this number doesn't include the women who are trapped , ...ادامه مطلب

The Gyeondyo-bar (red and white wrapper) is supposed to help treat hangovers. Reuters video screenshot by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper/CNET There are some weird hangover cures out there. Pickle juice, marinated herring, egg yolks, pickled sheep eyeballs. Frankly, in most cases, we'd rather keep the hangover. But for drinkers in South Korea, there's now a hangover cure that we all scream for: ice-cream bars.Not just any ice-cream bar, though if you're a fan of Fudgsicles or Bomb Pops or those Minion-shaped ones with the gumball eyes, sure, see how those work and report back. This is the Gyeondyo-bar, created by the Korean convenience store chain Withme FS. It's aimed specifically at beating that why-did-I-drink-so-much regret out of you with each sweet, creamy lick. (Gyeondyo means "hang in there," which is kind of an awesome pat on the back as you stagger to the freezer for your second or third bar.)The bars are grapefruit-flavored, Reuters reports, but the magic ingredient is that they contain 0.7 percent of oriental raisin-tree fruit juice, a traditional 17th-century hangover remedy. Hangover remedies are big business in Korea -- there's even a gel cream that is supposed to keep skin soft after a long night of boozing -- but this is the first one we wish they'd try importing to other countries. Come on, they'd sell like crazy. Regretful drunks and late-night convenience store snacks go together like "Seven" and "Eleven."Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب
