While screeners of the new series have been kept under lock and key, a few salacious details pertaining to Sonequa Martin-Green's character have been revealed — namely that she’s Spock’s foster-sister, a human who has been raised with stone-cold Vulcan values, and that she could be a key influencer in a war brewing within this universe.

Hawkins fired from the VA this time it is permanent
VA Medical Director Brian Hawkins under the VA Accountability Act created by Trump in June, which enabled them the authority to remove Hawkins from the department.

We finally have a list of all 21 states that were targeting by Russia for the election. Still no significant claims that the they were actually investigated and some of the states just found out they had been targeted.

Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat who co-chairs the Senate Cybersecurity Caucus, said Friday in a statement it is "unacceptable that it took almost a year after the election to notify states that their elections systems were targeted."

We have fresh info about THE LAST JEDI, specifically Porgs and their delectability, from DK’s new book “Star Wars Made Easy”.  Mark Hamill saves the Disney Company the trouble by announcing the release date for the next trailer for EPISODE IX on Twitter…Then he takes it back! We dig deep to see if there is any truth behind Mark’s “joke”. Lucasfilm announces who will be their promotional partners for THE LAST JEDI and discuss the future for Disney’s plan to stream their properties independently, including STAR WARS. We speculate what that will mean financially for the company and how it will effect fans. Plus, listener voice mail, space horses, and we present a snack review for Pop Chips Star Wars Galaxy Puffs that goes horribly south.

New Horizons is awake again!

It’s time to test the spacecraft’s systems as it flies deeper into the Kuiper Belt.

New Horizons will fly by 2014 MU69 in January 2019; this distant object could actually be two objects orbiting each other — we likely won’t know for sure until the spacecraft encounters it.

HTC and Google announce a $1.1 billion agreement for the future of Pixel

HTC and Google have officially announced that the companies have reached a deal. Google will pay HTC $1.1 billion in cash in exchange for some of its employees and Google will have access to HTC’s intellectual property. So what does this mean for the future HTC and the Pixel lineup?

Certain HTC employees, many of which are currently working with Google to develop the Pixel phones, will join Google. In addition, Google will receive a non- exclusive license for HTC’s intellectual property. This means that Google will have access to HTC’s manufacturing patents and designs for its future Pixel devices.


HTC has been a longtime partner of Google and has created some of the most beautiful, premium devices on the market. We’re excited and can’t wait to welcome members of the HTC team who will be joining Google to fuel further innovation and future product development in consumer hardware. - Rick Osterlog, Senior VP of Hardware at Google


The transaction will help HTC to excel with its upcoming flagship smartphone (which is already being worked on), and HTC will continue to expand its VIVE VR platform as well as invest in IoT, AR, and AI.

In turn, this shows Google’s commitment to the future of the Pixel lineup, and the deal will help to strengthen and streamline the Google Pixel portfolio. The transaction also introduces Google to a new technology hub in HTC’s home country of Taiwan.

The transaction is still waiting to be approved by regulatory officials as per usual, and is expected to complete in early 2018.

This is a huge step for Google in solidifying its foundation of building its own hardware and a firm first step into 2018 for HTC.

Enchanted forest

Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)

Svartskog, Norway

This is the largest I’ve found this season and it measures 20 cm across, but can be even 30 cm.

If only this species knew how famous and iconic it is among humans!

Of all the fungi species this is the most famous of all – seen in movies, paintings and drawings of fairy tales and books – even in souvenir shops and some furniture and nick-nacks stores, but I think you won’t find it at IKEA.

The species has so many powerful characteristics, but the visual is the first impression and what an impact it has when you enter into a spruce forest where the floor and the roots are completely covered in soft dense moss. The light is dim and thus the bright colors of this mushroom brightens up the surrounding like a magic lantern.

It is truly magic that from the soil this giant appears, grows and shines, then disappears to perhaps not be seen at the same location for many years.

No wonder people throughout history have had a special relationship with this one and weaved it into their lives, be it drawing, painting and art.

I for one had to sit here with it for some time to just absorb the magic of the place, watching all the insects visiting it, the sounds of the birds and the rustling of the foliage high above.
And then it happened just as it did with my previous fly agaric encounter – a shrew foraged just a few meters away from me. So tiny and so energetic.

Enchanted forest indeed.

Any other year, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus would feel, well, magical. Apple‘s two new smartphones address some long-standing complaints from iPhone owners, like including wireless charging support; they look sleek, have improved cameras, and borrow clever screen technology from the iPad Pro. Of course, this year there’s a shadow looming over both new handsets. That’s the iPhone … Continue reading

+Google​ the ball is in your court...

The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is the best-performing mobile device camera we have ever tested. Its overall DxOMark Mobile score of 94 sets a new record, beating out the 90 points for both the Google Pixel and the HTC U11, as well as the 92 that its sibling iPhone 8 just scored. Its Photo score of 96 is also a new record, blowing past the Pixel’s 90. For Video, its score of 89 is among our highest, but tied with the HTC U11 and slightly below the Pixel’s 91. Of course, the Pixel is nearly a year old now, so it makes sense that Apple’s new flagship is breaking new ground.

The latest trailer for Super Beat Sports focuses entirely on Net Ball, which is one of the activities featured in the upcoming Nintendo Switch title. You can check out the new promo below. Super Beat Sports is described as a collection of five…

“Plants are so much weirder than animals!” says Amber Paasch, 30, who will be receiving her Ph.D. degree in Comparative Biology from the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) on September 27. “I didn’t realize how interesting they were, how diverse.”

Through college and while earning her Master’s degree at Cal State L.A., she studied the abundant unique plant life of Southern California, including Syntrichia caninervis, a moss in the Mojave Desert that can survive without water for 100 years. At the Museum, Paasch worked with Associate Curator and Associate Professor Eunsoo Kim to research microscopic green algae that eat bacteria instead of relying only on photosynthesis, to find out what we can learn from them about the evolution of chloroplasts.

Aside from academics and research, Paasch took a leading role in getting the Museum actively involved in the annual Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science conference, which advises and supports minority students applying to graduate school. “It is necessary to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in science, and I am working to help remove barriers to academia for ethnic and racial minorities, and women,” says Paasch.

Paasch will return next month to California to start post-doctoral research in Katie Pollard’s bioinformatics lab in the Gladstone Institutes at the University of California, San Francisco. There, one of the central lessons of her time at the Gilder Graduate school should stand her in good stead. Paasch says Dr. Kim has always encouraged her to avoid being pinned down to a single species, and instead to approach analyses of traits and relationships through a wider lens.Says Paasch, “Rather than the organism being studied, what’s important are the questions we are asking.”
