As part of our coverage of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, I talked with a dozen cast members from across the franchise about everything from Star Trek's inclusive message to how it feels to be a sex symbol to nerds. Jeri Ryan didn't want the role at first. The then up-and-comer was trying to kickstart her career after eaing a theater degree and winning the Miss Illinois beauty pageant (she later competed in Miss America, coming in fourth place). "I wasn't remotely interested in science fiction," Ryan said of her pre-Star Trek days. Sure, she'd watched some episodes of the original series. But she'd also heard the shows had a history of stymieing some actor's careers. Then Ryan read about her character, Seven of Nine, a human kidnapped as a young girl by a cybeetic race known as the Borg. She then spends decades participating in the atrocious "assimilation" of other species before she's snatched back by the Voyager crew.

Athletes can't just focus on sticking the perfect landing or diving with flawless form at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. They'll also have to worry about Zika. Fortunately, it's not just athletes converging in Brazil. One organization is using mapping technology to track the spread of the infectious disease. Another is giving away smart thermometers to keep tabs on symptoms that might flare up. The World Health Organization launched a Zika app to provide information about the disease. After the Olympics, IBM will provide local authorities with ways to track weather, social media data and travel pattes. It's just the latest example where technology plays an increasingly critical role in the world of health care. The 2016 Olympic Games, a 17-day event that kicks off Friday night, provide a high-profile stage for tech to shine as a possible way to curb Zika, which has shown a scary tendency to move around. Prior to 2015, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands reported cases of Zika, and the virus has now spread to countries in South and Central America, including Brazil, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Last week, Florida Gov. Rick Scott confirmed the first cases of Zika transmitted locally by mosquitoes in the US.Pass the bug spray. Getty Images As many as 500,000 people, including 200,000 Americans, will travel to Rio for the quadrennial summer games. Experts worry about pregnant women who will attend as well as those who may conceive in the next couple of years. In both cases, there's a risk that Zika can spread to the fetus. While adults rarely exhibit symptoms, children may develop microcephaly in utero, a condition that affects the child's head size and can lead to seizures, developmental delays and other disastrous effects. Nearly 200 health experts penned an open letter to the World Health Organization suggesting that the games b, ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] When beloved graphic novel "Watchmen" was reimagined as a movie directed by Zack Snyder, some irate fans, including "Watchmen" comics creator Alan Moore, criticized the movie's depiction of the troubled superheroes. Leave it to Honest Trailers -- a YouTube series from Screen Junkies that features a classic movie-trailer voice-over but with a narrator who makes fun of films -- to lay down some blunt opinions about the 2009 film. In a video posted Tuesday, Honest Trailers points out that the Watchmen may have looked pretty, but the movie tried way too hard to squeeze in every plotline from the comics. "Stare in awe as Snyder's gorgeous shots carry you through an overstuffed plot, where a dense 13-chapter series is crammed into a single movie full of so many story threads it feels like marathoning an entire season of 'Lost' -- at the same time," the Honest Trailers narrator says. Honest Trailers also offers a rather accurate description of the main anti-hero character, Rorschach. "Experience Jackie Earle Haley's spot-on performance as a smelly hobo who hates hands," the narrator says. This brutal review makes even more sense when you realize how often Snyder uses the same cinematic tropes in all of his movies, from "Watchmen" all the way to his most recent DC Comics film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." After all, if Synder plans on always using rain, Jesus allegories, sex, graphic violence, destruction of a major city and apocalyptic dream sequences, Honest Trailers will be there to offer cutting commentary.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

RoadshowNewsCar IndustryTesla posts $150 million Q2 loss, may miss 2016 delivery targetsTesla has posted Q2 2016 eaings and, while the word isn't resoundingly terrible, there's more bad news to be found than good. We'll start with the good, Tesla posting $1.56 billion in non-GAAP revenue for Q2. That's up from $1.2 billion in the same period last year. Total vehicle deliveries of 14,402 (9,764 Model S, 4,638 Model X) is also a big bump from this period last year, when Tesla shipped 11,507 vehicles. Tesla also says that average price of the Model S is up three percent. That's the good, here's the bad: Tesla posted a $150 million non-GAAP loss, which amounts to $1.06 per share. That's about double what analysts had figured. The company is also looking like it may come up short on its goal of delivering 80,000 cars this year, as it shipped 14,820 in Q1. So, we're still well-short of half. However, Tesla indicated that "almost half" of its Q2 production occurred in the last four weeks of the quarter, meaning we're on a pretty serious ramp -- assuming that rate continues.Despite all that, Tesla's stock price seems to be weathering the bad news, in after-hours trading up a few points from its $225.79 close. It's been on a strong rally over the past month since the initial announcement of a merger with SolarCity, a deal that was initially met with a fair bit of skepticism. The official opening of the Gigafactory last week is also surely helping to buoy investor spirits. Whether that will be enough to keep them motivated all the way through until Tesla tuing profitable, however, remains to be seen.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب
