No more wires and wall-warts! Powerkiss introduces a world without chargers. They build an induction charging module into furniture, and supply a small charging stick that attaches to your phone. It will be easier to use this in Europe, which is moving toward a charging standard; the charging stick could even be integr... |
I interview Powerkiss founder and CEO Maija Itkonen. |
The wireless system is based on resonance induction – an old, trusted and cost-effective technology. Power is created between two sets of resonating coils, several in the furniture module and one in the charging stick. To charge the gadgets, one only needs to place them on the charging surface of the furniture. As the ... |

, Sep 12 () Perth will be one of the first cities in the world to trial driverless on-demand cars, with a prototype vehicle unveiled on Wednesday. |
Manufactured by autonomous vehicle company NAVYA, the cars will include a "chaperone" who will be able to stop the car manually at any time necessary. |
The vehicles can carry up to six people and have a maximum speed of 90 kmph, although speeds are likely to be capped at 50 kmph during the trials. |
Once unmanned trials are completed in 2019, registered users will be able to order a car to their destination via a phone app, similar to a regular taxi, Xinhua news agency reported. |
Royal Automotive Club is responsible for facilitating the tests in Australia and Chief Executive Terry Agnew said Perth was one of just three cities in the world to be trialling the cars. |
"How we move around is rapidly evolving and being able to test emerging vehicle technologies right here in Western Australia will help us adapt to these changes in the safest way possible," Agnew said. |

Joe Biden joked about having permission to hug people during his first remarks after several women alleged he made them uncomfortable during their interactions. "I just want you to know that I had permission to hug Lonnie," he said. |
It does seem that he has never met a hugging, arm-wrestling opportunity he didn’t like, and this has recently led to snarling, growling and bared teeth. All of the vitriol was on hand, however, before two recent allegations of somewhat more serious behavior, even if none of it amounts to sexual assault. Compared to Har... |
As San Francisco’s district attorney and California’s attorney general, Harris compiled an astonishing record of disregarding legal flubs that stuck people in prison as she then insisted they stay there. In effect, she shoved due process in a paper shredder by way of technicalities, thereby enabling the ruin of people ... |
Harris, smart, tough and quick to offer freebies we can’t afford to citizens perhaps returning the favor at the voting booth, offered little to defendants when she served as a district attorney. She didn’t tell defense attorneys, for instance, that a lab technician had messed with drug evidence by such methods as theft... |
When she was attorney general, there was a man whose stepdaughter had accused him of sexual abuse. He said she was lying and turned down a plea bargain offer of just a few years in prison. He got convicted without evidence being presented that she had in fact lied like a spurting fire hydrant to police. When that becam... |
The point here is that we are one mixed-up country. In the views of too many, mountains are always molehills and molehills are always mountains. Old, positive norms around for centuries are with us one day and gone the next, sometimes pushed aside for the sake of revelatory insights at war with common sense. Disagree w... |
Obviously, the 2020 campaigning has gotten a fast start in 2019, and we citizens, while no doubt often seeing it as too much too soon, should still aim to learn what is truly important about the candidates. |
Sonny Cumbie believes Jakeem Grant's confidence skyrocketed in a mere 28 seconds last season. |
That's the time it took Grant, Texas Tech's 5-foot-6 sophomore spark plug, to return a combined two kickoffs for touchdowns in back-to-back games to end the 2012 season. |
"For him, he always believed he could play," said Cumbie, Tech's co-offensive coordinator. "After doing that, now he knows he can play." |
By all accounts, Grant has played like it through one week of spring practices. Asked Thursday which of Tech's receivers had stood out to this point, coach Kliff Kingsbury mentioned Grant, along with senior Eric Ward. |
Working with the first team at one of the inside receiver spots, Grant said he has quickly grown comfortable with Kingsbury's offensive schemes. It's not as if the Red Raiders are reinventing the wheel - they are still a no-huddle, spread offense - but Grant, not likely to fall behind in any foot race, believes his spe... |
"This offense is much quicker and I like it," Grant said. "You have more of an option to sit down in your routes, or to keep going and beat the dude, use your speed. (Kingsbury) came in and said, 'You're not going to do one specific thing. If you feel like you can beat him, then beat him. If you feel like he's playing ... |
Such freelancing requires a Jedi-like connection between receiver and quarterback, one Grant said all players at those positions have been working hard to cultivate. |
And Grant's play has stood out to teammates. |
"I feel he's getting faster, even more elusive," fellow receiver Bradley Marquez said. "That's dangerous for defenses because he's been having a good offseason and the first few practices of spring have been real good. So he's definitely going to make a lot of noise next year." |
While Cumbie believes part of Grant's improvement can be attributed to the confidence fostered by two highlight plays back in December, he also said the natural growth of player now in his third year with the program is part of the equation, too. |
"It's kind of a natural progression for him," Cumbie said. "He kind of took his lumps as a redshirt, and then last year he had the success he did. ... Confidence-wise he's in a really good place, and I'm not surprised at all with his development over the course of the last three years." |
But the question Tech fans really want to know: Can Grant extend his streak of consecutive games with a kickoff return when the 2013 season starts? |
His teammates had already started applying the pressure after Grant's bowl-game highlight. |
"They were like, 'You've got to do that every time next year,'" Grant said. "I always tell them, 'Hey, you've got to block for me again. I can't do it without you.'" |
Doing early press for the black and white, stop-motion animated 3D film Frankenweenie, due out on October 5th, questions for director Tim Burton naturally turned to what he might decide to focus on next. While we will post that portion of the interview on May 9th, I can say that the nearly 30 minutes of footage that we... |
When asked about whether or not he’s started to think about what his next film will be, Burton said that he’s going to take a break because he thinks it’s embarrassing that he has three movies coming out this year. He also talked about the fact that Seth Grahame-Smith is working on writing Beetlejuice 2, and that he mi... |
Question: This is a very busy time for you, with two movies coming out this year that you directed (Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie) and one that you produced (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter). Have you started to look forward yet? |
Tim Burton: No. I think I should [take a break]. |
Will you have any involvement on Beetlejuice 2? |
Burton: Seth [Grahame-Smith] is writing something. I just told him, because it was something where I liked the character, he’d probably have a better response. He has ideas about it, so I just wanted to let him respond to it and see what he comes up with. |
Is that something you’d be interested in doing, if you like what he comes up with? |
Burton: If it was interesting. Although, I don’t know if I would ever know a good script if it bit me in the face. But, I know what I like, so we’ll see. |
There was a rumor about you possibly doing a Pinocchio movie with Robert Downey, Jr. Is that just a rumor? |
Burton: I’m very busy, aren’t I? It’s kind of embarrassing that I have three movies [this year]. I’m sick of me, already. We’ll let these come out, and then I’ll go away and you guys can deal with other people. |
Is Big Eyes going to happen? |
Burton: Oh, I don’t know. There are a lot of projects in the works. But, when some things are 10 years in the making, you’re not quite sure when it’s happening. |
HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — Police say a Maryland man threw sulfuric acid on his roommate's face and body, leaving her with critical injuries. |
Prince George's County police said in a statement Tuesday evening that they had arrested 28-year-old Bekre Abdela in the weekend attack. |
The statement says officers responded to a home in Hyattsville for a report of a roommate dispute. They found a woman suffering from what appeared to be chemical burns. |
She was taken to a hospital, where police say she remains in critical condition. |
The statement says Abdela was arrested Monday and has "admitted his involvement." Police say the motive is under investigation. |
Court records don't list an attorney but show Abdela has a preliminary hearing scheduled March 27. He's charged with attempted murder, assault and other charges. |
On a quiet Sunday last November, a young man wielding an assault-style weapon took aim at a church in rural Texas, killing 26 people. |
In so doing, Devin Patrick Kelley added his name to an ever-growing list of American mass killers and forced the nation to grapple, once again, with gun violence. Kelley’s well-documented history of violence was on full display across the nation’s televisions and print media, and for good reason — prior violence is a s... |
As has been the case with the overwhelming majority of other mass shootings in recent memory, media and political coverage of Kelley began to focus on his mental health status. And, as has been the case before, this narrow focus on mental illness reignited calls for broader restrictions on firearm access for people wit... |
Still, these calls beg the question: Are mentally disordered people with access to firearms really driving America’s gun violence problem? |
Our recent analysis suggests the answer is no. In fact, we found that people with serious mental illness who have access to firearms are no more likely to be violent than people living in the same neighborhoods who do not have mental illnesses. |
Our study draws on data from the groundbreaking MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment Study, a study of individuals who experienced short-term stays in inpatient psychiatric hospitals. These individuals were followed for one year after being released in the mid 1990s. The project represents one of the most comprehensive s... |
In our analysis, we take advantage of the study’s inclusion of a comparison group of individuals without mental illness who were drawn from the same communities as the patient sample. This allows us to compare the risks associated with firearm access for individuals who suffer from mental illness versus those who do no... |
Our analyses show no difference in the risk for violence between the two groups on the basis of firearm access. These findings cast doubt on whether policies designed to reduce interpersonal gun violence by restricting access based on mental health status are useful. |
Our study finds that the reality of firearm-related risk among individuals with mental illness lies not in the potential for harm to others, but in the risk of harming oneself. In fact, we were shocked by the dramatic difference in risk for suicidal thoughts that firearm access posed to respondents with and without men... |
Firearm access was not associated with suicidal thoughts for people in the community sample in our study who did not have mental health problems. On the other hand, firearm access almost doubled the likelihood that respondents with mental illness would experience suicidal thoughts. These findings support prior research... |
One of the most disturbing aspects of our study is that it emerges from what amounts to an empirical vacuum. The passage and quiet reauthorization of the Dickey Amendment, an addition to the 1996 federal omnibus spending bill, effectively prohibits federal funding of gun violence research. Since its enactment, scholars... |
The Dickey Amendment is also the reason that no comprehensive, nationally representative studies have been conducted in recent years to examine the causes of gun violence. As a result, gun lobbyists have been free to compose the narrative of their choice, namely that mass shootings are a mental health problem. We just ... |
There is certainly an argument to be made for the temporary removal of firearm access for individuals actively experiencing mental health crises. However, the threat of permanent loss of one’s Second Amendment right could cause harm. People might avoid treatment for fear of losing their guns. |
As individuals with mental illness are further vilified, people experiencing mental health crises may avoid seeking help, despite being at higher risk for suicide. |
After over three weeks of action, the World Cup is coming to an end, and we are just two days away from the showdown for the title of World Champions. But first up before the most anticipated football match of the year, Belgium and England will square off for third place on Saturday 14th July. While this may not be the... |
After the semi-finals losers have settled up for third place, things will get a lot more exhilarating on Sunday 15th July when the final kicks off! |
France and Croatia will be bringing their A game in an attempt to earn the title of World Champions 2018. The final and deciding match will take place at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium at 17:00 and Yobetit anticipates France will be the team to steal the show. |
France are the clear favourites to win, but Croatia have shown that they are mentally strong in three consecutive matches, so there is no doubt it will be a match that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Croatia has what it takes to get their hands on the Cup. They’ve proved that they are able to come out victorio... |
It was an unexpected turn of events when Croatia scored their second goal against England after extra time to book their spot in the final. It impressed many football fans all over the world when they sent England home. And, what’s even more impressive is that Croatia is the smallest nation to appear in the last stage ... |
France on the other hand, took home the Cup last in 1998, and their hopes are to recreate their same achievements 20 years later, and the odds show they may very well do so. |

Former President George W. Bush and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are headed to Arizona to throw their support behind the Republican candidate for Senate, who faces a difficult election, Arizona Republic reports. |
Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., is currently running to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in November, and is locked in a close race with Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema. According to RealClearPolitics, Sinema holds a small, less than 2 percent, average lead. |
Romney, who is currently running for Senate himself in Utah, will join McSally as a special guest in Gilbert, Arizona on Friday. Romney, who is Mormon, will headline a rally in East Valley, an area with a large Mormon population. |
Bush will host a private breakfast fundraiser for McSally next week in Scottsdale, Arizona. Western Journal notes that much of Scottsdale is located within Sinema’s district. |
McSally already received an endorsement from President Donald Trump in August, and the president, who won Arizona by 3.5 percent in 2016, will campaign with the congresswoman later this month. |

President Donald Trump said the staff of The New York Times and The Washington Post should have their 2018 Pulitzer Prizes rescinded in light of the result of the Mueller probe, which cleared the president of the allegation that his campaign colluded with Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. |
A number of staffers at the legacy newspapers were awarded the journalism prize in the National Reporting category “for deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connectio... |
Yet, special counsel Robert Mueller, who took over a previous FBI counterintelligence probe in 2017 to investigate the interference and collusion allegations, recently finished his final report, stating that “the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russia... |
Mueller and his team were praised by legacy press as trustworthy professionals who would leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of the truth. The team of nearly five dozen lawyers and FBI agents issued 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, interviewed some 500 witnesses, obtained more than 230 orders ... |
Both The New York Times and The Washington Post appeared reluctant to fully embrace the collusion narrative before the 2016 election, perhaps because it seemed mainly based on the infamous Steele dossier, a series of unsubstantiated claims accusing the Trump campaign of conspiring with the Russians. The dossier was com... |
That changed, however, after the election. Both papers used a relentless stream of leaks from sources they didn’t identify to print a deluge of articles that followed the narrative that collusion happened after all. |
Of the 20 articles between February and December 2017 picked for the Pulitzer, only one focused directly on Russian interference, while most others focused on the supposed collusion. |
A Washington Post spokeswoman declined to comment. |
