Jones may drop 'unsettled' Butland

Butland makes two mistakes as Stoke lose 3-1 to Preston
0:51 Jack Butland had a night to forget against Preston
Jack Butland had a night to forget against Preston
Nathan Jones conceded he might have to take "unsettled" goalkeeper Jack Butland out of the Stoke starting line-up after his two errors proved costly in a 3-1 defeat to Preston.
Butland was at fault for Preston's first two goals as he let low shots from outside the box squeeze past him.
There has been speculation that Butland could move abroad during this month while he also looks set to miss out on Gareth Southgate's England squad for upcoming games against Bulgaria and Kosovo.
Speaking after the defeat to Preston, Stoke manager Jones suggested the noise surrounding Butland has had an impact.
"We are travelling on the bus and there's a big story about Jack being left out of the England squad, it's all unsettling," he told Sky Sports.
"Maybe I need to put him out of the firing line and wait until the window shuts to get his head focused because all the stories are about what's not happening to Jack rather than him being Stoke City goalkeeper.

"We haven't done a lot wrong but tame shots have gone in and they haven't had to work hard for the third goal. We had enough opportunities to get something out of the game but you can't do that when you give away the goals we did.
"We keep shooting ourselves in the foot. It's frustrating and things have to change. We have to be a but more streetwise and not concede silly goals.
"We have had chances that were as good as, if not better, than them tonight, but it was never really a contest because of how we went about it."
The defeat means Stoke are winless from four matches and remain bottom of the Championship.
"It's been difficult," said Jones, who has only won three league matches since he was appointed in February.
"We haven't done the basics well enough. Things just haven't clicked at the minute. We thought we had turned a corner this summer. We recruited well and have a good group but errors have really cost us. Maybe that's me and the team I picked, we have to revaluate and see where we are.
"It's nothing to do with systems, it's not how we are playing, we are not getting carved open, it's just we are not doing the basics right."

Leeds United 1-0 Brentford: Eddie Nketiah scores winner on home debut
Eddie Nketiah's goal was his second in two games in all competitions for Leeds
Eddie Nketiah scored on his Championship debut to earn Leeds United a late but deserved win at home to Brentford.
The 20-year-old, on loan from Arsenal, tapped in from Helder Costa's square ball within four minutes of coming on as a substitute.
The hosts had the better of the game and victory gave them 10 points from a possible 12, seeing them top the early Championship table on goal difference.
For Brentford, the defeat was their second from their opening four league games and their first away from home, leaving them six points behind the strongest starters.
After a relatively quiet first half, Leeds applied significant pressure in the second and finally found a way past the visitors' defence thanks to two of their substitutes.
Wolves loanee Costa - who was introduced with 25 minutes remaining - made a good run down the right and played the ball across perfectly for Nketiah to slot home in the middle.
The England Under-21 international, who joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from the Gunners on transfer deadline day, also scored at Salford City in the Carabao Cup on his Leeds debut on 13 August.
His goal saw pace-setting Leeds add to their early-season away league wins over Bristol City and Wigan, as they claimed their first home victory of 2019-20 after drawing with Nottingham Forest.
The Bees' best chance to level arguably fell to Said Benrahma in second-half stoppage time, but he blazed well over the bar after the ball had fallen nicely for him just outside the area.
Forward Bryan Mbeumo had hit the post for the visitors in the first half with a left-footed effort from 25 yards out.
Sweden centre-back Pontus Jansson - who scored for Leeds in this fixture at Elland Road last term - captained Brentford against his former club following his July move to Griffin Park for an undisclosed fee.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We deserved to win the game because we dominated the game. We didn't create a lot of chances but we created enough chances to make a difference.
"It was a physical, demanding game and we took control in the best moment of the game.
"Helder Costa is a balanced player who can play on both sides, and Eddie Nketiah can make an impact in the middle. We defended well and our opponents did not have enough clear chances."
Brentford head coach Thomas Frank told BBC Radio London:
"The first half was a top away performance where we pressed high, caused them problems and created opportunities. We did everything more or less right.
"Second half they put more pressure on us and we were not good enough to keep the ball. We had big desire defending, good organisation and a high line.
"We got through the most stormy parts of the second half and you thought our opportunities would start to come. And then they scored a goal.
"I can't imagine, going forward, a more difficult away ground to go to than this one."

Leeds moved back to the top of the Sky Bet Championship
Eddie Nketiah came from the bench to fire Leeds back to the top of the Sky Bet Championship table on his league debut for the club.
The striker, on loan from Arsenal, struck just four minutes after his introduction as a 77th-minute substitute as he converted Helder Costa's cross to secure a 1-0 win over Brentford at Elland Road.

Bersant Celina had given the visitors into a first-half lead which was cancelled out by Jordan Hugill's 66th-minute header.
Borja Baston, who scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Preston, took his tally for the season to four goals when he converted a 70th-minute penalty after Jordan Garrick had been fouled by Yoann Barbet, and substitute Sam Surridge made sure of the win 10 minutes from time.

Ivan Cavaleiro's double ensured that relegated Fulham remain hot on the heels of the top two as they routed Millwall 4-0 at Craven Cottage.
The Wolves loanee set the ball rolling after just 15 minutes and then, after Anthony Knockaert had doubled their advantage before the break and Aleksandar Mitrovic had converted a 56th-minute penalty, completed the rout with 27 minutes remaining.
Fulham finished the match with 84 per cent possession having completed 934 passes.

Albert Adomah denied promoted Charlton a third league victory of the campaign as Nottingham Forest struck late to snatch a 1-1 draw at the Valley.
Lyle Taylor's 18th-minute header looked like being enough to claim the points until substitute Adomah levelled 12 minutes from time.
Ovie Ejaria was both hero and villain as Reading had to make do with a point from their difficult trip to West Brom.
The midfielder, on loan at the Madejski Stadium from Liverpool, appeared to have won it with his 71st-minute strike, but was then adjudged to have fouled Filip Krovinovic in the penalty area to allow Kenneth Zohore to make it 1-1 from the spot with only two minutes remaining.
Substitute Junior Hoilett further dented managerless Huddersfield's hopes of an immediate return to the Premier League as Cardiff also left it late in South Wales.
Joe Ralls opened the scoring three minutes before half-time only for Trevoh Chalobah to level within five minutes of the restart.
However, Hoilett came off the bench to snatch a 2-1 victory with an 88th-minute winner.
Stoke remain rooted firmly to the foot of the table after a comprehensive 3-1 defeat at Preston.
Daniel Johnson put the home side ahead with just seven-minutes gone and Billy Bodin made it 2-0 when he cashed in on an error by Potters 'keeper Jack Butland, with Josh Harrop cementing the win before James McClean's late consolation effort.

Paul Pogba racist abuse: Twitter to meet Man Utd and Kick It Out
Pogba was supported online by Manchester United team-mates Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford
Twitter will meet Manchester United and Kick It Out following online racist abuse directed at Paul Pogba.
The Frenchman became the third player in a week to be racially abused on social media following a penalty miss.
Several of Pogba's team-mates criticised the abuse, while England women's manager Phil Neville called for footballers to "boycott" social media.
Twitter said it will meet with any stakeholders to show the "proactive work" being done to tackle abuse.
It said in a statement: "We have always maintained an open and healthy dialogue with our partners in this space, but we know we need to do more to protect our users. Racist behaviour has no place on our platform and we strongly condemn it.
"Over the the next few weeks, Twitter representatives will meet with Manchester United, Kick It Out and any other civil society stakeholders interested in hearing about the proactive work Twitter is doing to address online racist abuse towards certain footballers in the UK.
"To this end, we look forward to working more closely with our partners to develop shared solutions to this issue."
What action is Twitter taking?
Twitter rules prohibit users from promoting violence against, threatening or harassing people on the basis of race, ethnicity or other protected groups.
Since 2018, it has increased the number of accounts suspended for evading a previous ban on the service by 45% and tripled the number of accounts suspended within 24 hours after receiving a report.
Pogba saw a 68th-minute penalty saved by Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio in the 1-1 draw at Molineux on Monday - the fourth spot-kick Pogba has missed for United in the Premier League since the start of last season.
United defender Harry Maguire called on social media companies to "stop these pathetic trolls", while striker Marcus Rashford said "enough now, this needs to stop".
Former United player Neville said "boycotting" social media would send a "powerful message", while the club themselves said they are "working to identify" those responsible for the racist abuse directed at Pogba.
Facebook also said in a statement that it will "invest heavily in developing tools and technologies to prevent bullying and harassment" and people breaking the rules will be "permanently banned".
Last week, Chelsea condemned "abhorrent posts" aimed at Tammy Abraham after his decisive penalty miss in the Super Cup against Liverpool.
Then on Sunday, Reading striker Yakou Meite called out racist abuse sent to him on social media after he had a spot-kick saved.
Jordan Nobbs injury update
Jordan Nobbs continued her recovery from an ACL injury on Sunday, playing 20 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against West Ham United.
The England international has been sidelined since November 2018, but is edging closer to a full recovery.
"Jordan is progressing very, very well," said Joe Montemurro. "She's worked immensely hard both physically and mentally to get back to where she's at - and I think it's been an amazing little journey for her.
"We're slowly building her back up and we hope to get her some more game time as the weeks edge towards the start of the season. We want her to be ready for a very big September and October. Jordan is desperate to make this season a special one. After missing the World Cup and over half the season in a very special year for us, she can only be inspired to come back even stronger.
"The physical rehab has been great, but the mental rehab has been even more beneficial for her. I think the biggest thing for us is that she's really matured and really come out of her shell with regards to being a senior player and being a leader. I think the best of Jordan Nobbs is still to come."

In August I'd booked a speculative trip to New Orleans expecting to see my beloved Meechigan boys in the Sugar Bowl, but to my complete and utter dismay they somehow managed to lose 2 games. But I promise they'll put a whuppin' on the Trojans and put the Bayou Bengals on the throne!
Is it reasonable to do Bayona & Brigtsen's on the same day, or madness? We're staying in FQ. If any one of these 3 has to go, I guess it would be dinner at Brigtsen's because of the distance. Big mistake? Should I juggle things around? We're from Chicago, so we want to stay with regional cuisine.
Any suggestions on a light dinner Friday night? Also, any suggestions for shopping for my wife - she enjoys little knickknacks for the home.


Overview: This digital museum uses a functional approach to allow researchers (and curious visitors) to view rare artworks with the highest possible clarity. Each image can be magnified to show extremely fine detail.
"Chinese paintings that survived from the Northern Sung period (c. 960 -- 1127), approximately one thousand years ago, are exceptionally rare. The National Palace Museum, however, is home to a collection of such works that is not only exceptional in number, but also in quality, ranking it as the foremost in the world.
"As a service to collectors around-the-world, who appreciate and research Chinese art, the latest in digital technology has been used in this project to provide quick and convenient zooming capabilities for 71 select, representative works of the Northern Sung.
"The idea was to provide the public with a realistic view of Northern Sung artworks. Transfer rates, and efficient use of technology, were the main concerns for this project. Our strategy was to reduce an image into parts, then arrange the parts through ActionScripting and utilize XML to show all the features and seal descriptions for both painting and calligraphy.
"Enlarged images help visitors focus on the details when browsing artwork, but enlarging them brought unexpected challenges to the building of this site. During the development process we encountered software limitations when the images were fragmentized; we reduced each piece many different times and wrote a program in PHP to align the images fragmentized at different times.
"In the end, the site provides for options beyond a traditional display and the technology provides the best support for presenting quality images. Any perception of this site as an art piece in and of itself only serves to prove the even greater beauty of these works from the Northern Sung."


Catalyst Miami's LEAD department seeks to cultivate grassroots leadership within our communities. Everyone can lead-–at home, in the classroom, in the community. We teach individuals how to find their voice and make a difference in their communities; and we offer training and practice opportunities for youth and adults in advocacy and public policy.
The Parent Leadership Training Institute is a 22-week leadership development training that helps parents and child advocates learn the leadership skills needed to become effective advocates for children in schools, communities, and state and local governments. During the program, participants develop projects to address community concerns. Many of these projects require funding to ensure they are successful and sustainable. Our crowd funding campaign will provide seed funding for the 2015 Parent Leadership Training Institute's community projects.
This year's cohort has developed 15 projects, including a project that will focus on developing a neighborhood clean-up committee for Little Havana and another that will fund the creation of family literacy workshops for various neighborhoods in Miami-Dade County.

Concert Stage Solutions Washington
Mobile Staging
Stage Rental Seattle
Are you involved in concerts and need an efficient and environmentally-friendly solution for a stage setup? Consider renting a mobile stage delivered by a single trailer. The equipment is easier to move in and out, as organizing the show becomes much more seamless and stress-free. Setup time is quicker and this system gives you a great opportunity to achieve a return on investment.
Washington State has some of the finest scenery around. Why not take full advantage of the natural backdrop by taking your concert outside.
The Power of outdoor shows
E-Machines 32x24 mobile stage
Renting a mobile stage is an economically "sound" way to put on a concert, since it's much more affordable than other options. Perhaps you own a venue that's sufficient for shows and you don't want to spend thousands of extra dollars renting another venue. The mobile solution is ideal for community events held at a park or ranch.
Outdoor music has a much more powerful feel than listening to a mobile device, the radio or a stereo. Live sound has a more omnipresent vibe and a sense that the crowd is participating in the event. Amplified music is a shared cultural experience at an outdoor venue that holds hundreds or thousands of people.
Convenience of Trailer stage
In the concert stage rental business there are a wide variety of options. Ask yourself what size stage you need and the type of crowd that will be attending the show. Hydraulic trailer stages are popular and have been used for decades at outdoor shows. Whether it's a local or national show, we have a diverse supply of stages to fit various types of stage ideas. Being connected to a network of stage and lighting professionals, we have a solution for any type of mobile staging.
One of the factors in your decision will be the weather for the day of the show, which will probably be planned months in advance. Our systems can include windwalls that provide resistance to strong winds. We can deliver a mobile stage of a specific size, depending on your needs. E1 Machines, Apex and Stageline are respected brands with multiple models that offer reliability and high precision to make shows run smoothly.
Pair your stage with high fidelity sound reinforcement, exciting visuals and dynamic lighting and you've just taken the experience to the next level.
Connecting with Community
One of the best ways to bring a community together is with live music. Spring through Fall is the perfect time of the year to present a memorable community event.
Holiday inspired celebrations from St. Patricks Day to Octoberfest to Christmas tree lightings are made more significant with the elevated presentation of talent.
Adding a colorful light show makes the event much more monumental. Festivals are ideal for making important community announcements before, during or after a performance.
A stage can be very basic or elaborate, depending on your needs. Some venue owners prefer stage structures with modules, which allows engineers and other concert personnel to work in a climate controlled space. This setup is useful for providing dressing rooms and if you choose to have a backstage area for VIPs. Stage add-ons, such as wind and rain walls or banner rigging packages can help enhance the concert experience.
Wind and rain walls are made of laminated PVC vinyl on a heavy duty track with lifting rings and stainless steel rollers. Banners for the top roof and sides of the stage offer excellent choices for promoting show sponsors.
Uncompromising sound
We can complement our mobile staging with speaker systems to match all budgets. From rider friendly offerings from L'Acoustics and Meyer to budget friendly offerings from JBL and QSC, in the skillful hands of our sound engineers there's a perfect system for every concert.
We provide customized lighting design, which is another exciting variable that strengthens a show's presentation. We have seasoned lighting technicians who understand how to make certain elements stand out. Some promoters need just basic lighting while others fully controlled light shows. Lighting can do wonders visually if you are trying to make a big empty field come to life.
A great way to capture people's attention at a concert by using LED video walls to create stunning visuals that sync with the performance. Video walls can also be used for sponsorship advertising or as a video screen where bright sunlight would render traditional video projection innefective. This is the type of addition to a show that can enhance a theme, such as a community anniversary or a social cause. Video walls are most availble in a pixel pitch of 3.9mm or 4.8mm and are available in either straight or curved configurations. Consider utilizing a video wall in environments where bright sunlight, wind or rain could inhibit the performance of video projectors.
Once you've selected the perfect concert location, we'll bring the stage to you. We happily rent our stages to the greater Washington area including cities Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Bellingham, Spokane, Federal Way, Kent, Auburn, Marysville, Pasco, Redmond, Sammamish, Lakewood, Yakima, , Olympia, Burien Edmonds, Puyallup, Bremerton, Issaquah, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton and Bend Oregon. If your location or city isn't listed, please inquire. We'd be happy to accommodate anywhere in-between.
Planning your show
When you are ready for a concert stage rental let us know about the details and we will provide you with a quote. Let us know the stage size you desire and other items you need with it, such as stage banners, lighting and video walls. We also provide custom solutions based on your creative thinking. Tell us who referred you to us and ask about offers and discounts.
We can supply the stage and lighting equipment for a concert of any size. Whether the show is at a park, beach, field or wherever you can get a permit, we have a solution. We specialize in creating sonic experiences that make people feel closely connected to the music.

Q: How do I code a cat recognizer with OpenCV? I want to code a cat recognizer with OpenCV using the Python module face-recognition.
This code works for human faces, using haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml (this is the trained model).
imagePaths = list(paths.list_images("recognition/dataset"))

knownEncodings = []
knownNames = []

# For each image, we analyze the face on it
for (i, imagePath) in enumerate(imagePaths):

    name = imagePath.split(os.path.sep)[-2]

    image = cv2.imread(imagePath)
    rgb = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

    boxes = face_recognition.face_locations(rgb, model="hog")

    encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb, boxes)

    for encoding in encodings:
        knownEncodings.append(encoding)
        knownNames.append(name)

data = {"encodings": knownEncodings, "names": knownNames}

# We save the data in a file
f = open("recognition/encodings.pickle", "wb")
f.write(pickle.dumps(data))
f.close()

I tried to use haarcascade_frontalcatface.xml, to recognize cats. I recorded my cats, but the recognition program didn't recognize any cat using the encodings.pickle. Python didn't throw any error. The program worked fine for humans.
Does the face_recognition module work for cats?

A: Detection: Knowing if and where a photo contains a face
Recognition: Knowing who the face belongs to (is it Billy or Emily?)
Cat face detection is possible, recognition is not since the recognition model used in this module was trained on humans and I don't see any evidence of a cat trained recognition model.
Detection of human faces is in general harder than detection of animal faces, because human faces have more variety than animal faces. While this variation makes detection harder, it actually makes correct recognition easier. The converse is true for cats - they have less facial variety making detection easier but recognition harder.
Detection
The error you are getting sounds like the basic recognition is failing. That needs to be fixed before you can attempt recognition. Cat face detection is definitely feasible using the face-recognition module (it is listed in the examples, as well as demonstrated here and here):
import cv2

catFaceCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('C:/Users/N/Desktop/haarcascade_frontalcatface.xml')

image = cv2.imread('C:/Users/N/Desktop/test.jpg')

faces = catFaceCascade.detectMultiScale(image)

if len(faces) == 0:
    print("No faces found")

else:
    print("Number of faces detected: " + str(faces.shape[0]))

    for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
        cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0))

    cv2.imshow('Image with faces', image)
    cv2.waitKey(0)
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Recognition
Without models trained on cats, you won't be able to do recognition. The face_recognition api relies on several models to function (all trained on human faces) which you could try replacing with models trained on cats if you have them.

DIIV "Follow" (Memory Tapes remix)
Earlier this year, New York-based indie pop unit DIIV delivered their Oshin LP, with one of many highlights being the sparkly pop jangler "Follow." A remix from Memory Tapes has stripped away some of those crystalline guitar strums, but offers up a dance-pop-indebted take that's just as dreamy.
As for what's new, a live backbeat is swapped out for a drumpad clack, and the tune appears to be pitch-shifted down a few keys. If Zachary Cole Smith's hushed vocals generally lull you into a light slumber, the song's jittery closing guitar solo should shake you back to the land of the living. You can listen to the redo down below.
As previously reported, DIIV will be hitting the road with Wild Nothing next month and will be playing several Canadian dates. You can see the complete schedule here.
Oshin is out now on Captured Tracks.

SpaceX CRS-19, también conocida como SpX-19, fue una misión de los Servicios Comerciales de Abastecimiento de la Estación Espacial Internacional, lanzada el 5 de diciembre de 2019 y retornando a la Tierra el 7 de enero de 2020. La misión fue contratada por la NASA y es operada por SpaceX.

Historial de la misión

Planificación y viaje a la ISS
En febrero de 2016, se anunció que la NASA había otorgado una extensión de contrato a SpaceX para cinco misiones adicionales de CRS (CRS-16 a CRS-20). En junio de 2016, un informe del inspector general de la NASA dijo que esta misión estaba esperada para diciembre de 2018.  La misión se retrasó más tarde hasta el 15 de octubre de 2019.  Actualmente se espera que sea ejecutada en diciembre de 2019.  Tras estar el cohete y la nave en la plataforma de despegue el miércoles 4 de diciembre, se decidió posponer por cerca de 24 horas el despegue, debido a fuertes vientos tanto en el nivel superior de la atmósfera, como en alta mar, en el sitio de recuperación de la primera etapa.

La prueba de encendido estático se realizó con éxito el 27 de noviembre de 2019. La primera etapa del cohete es la de número de serie B1059.1  (nueva), mientras que la cápsula Dragon —de número de serie C106.3— es la misma que anteriormente viajó a la Estación Espacial en las misiones CRS-4 (2014) y CRS-11 (2017).

El despegue del Falcon 9 ocurrió el 5 de diciembre a las 17:29 UTC, desde la plataforma de lanzamiento 40 de la Estación de la Fuerza Aérea de Cabo Cañaveral, en Florida. Tras el lanzamiento, SpaceX recuperó el propulsor B1059.1 usado del cohete vía aterrizaje en la plataforma autónoma Of Course I Still Love You, estacionada a 343 kilómetros mar adentro, en el océano Atlántico, aproximadamente 7 minutos y 48 segundos tras el despegue. En tanto, la segunda etapa del cohete, tras separarse de la nave Dragon, permaneció unas 6 horas en órbita sin usar su motor –proceso conocido como coasting– con el objetivo de recopilar datos térmicos de la estructura del cohete en relación con la estadía prolongada en el espacio que se exige en ciertos perfiles de vuelo más especiales, como los requeridos por misiones clasificadas estadounidenses para insertar satélites directamente a órbita geoestacionaria. Tras esas 6 horas, realizó un encendido exitoso de su motor por un lapso de 20.1 segundos, lo que le permitió reingresar destructivamente a la atmósfera.

Dragon llegó a las proximidades de la ISS el domingo 8 de diciembre, siendo capturada a las 10:05 UTC por el comandante de la Expedición 61, Luca Parmitano, mediante el brazo robótico Canadarm-2, para luego atracarla al puerto Harmony nadir de la Estación a las 12:47 UTC.

Retorno a la Tierra
Dragon permaneció en el laboratorio orbital hasta el martes 7 de enero de 2020, siendo liberado para su retorno a las 10:05 UTC, tras haber sido cargado con alrededor de 1600 kg de carga, incluyendo 54 experimentos concluidos a ser analizados por NASA. Tras alejarse de la Estación, y luego de 12 minutos y 53 segundos de hacer funcionar sus motores Draco, Dragon preparó su reingreso a la Tierra, amerizando frente a las costas de Baja California, en el océano Pacífico, a eso de las 15:40 UTC.

Carga útil

La carga útil consiste en:

 Carga presurizada (más embalaje): 1693 kg.
 Suministros para la tripulación: 256 kg
 Investigación y ciencia: 977 kg.
 Equipamiento para caminatas espaciales: 65 kg.
 Hardware vehicular: 306 kg.
 Recursos informáticos: 15 kg.

 Carga no presurizada: 924 kg.

Esta misión lleva variados experimentos científicos a la Estación:

 Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI), un sistema de escaneo hiperespectral de la Tierra, desarrollado por JAXA.
 Malting ABI Voyager Barley Seeds in Microgravity, un experimento de la NASA para hacer germinar semillas de cebada y analizar los efectos de la microgravedad en ellas.
 AztechSat-1, un nanosatélite mexicano desarrollado por la UPAEP, realizará demostraciones de comunicaciones intersatelitales con la constelación Globalstar.
Confined Combustion, analizará el comportamiento de una llama en diferentes espacios confinados en microgravedad.
 Rodent Research-19, experimentos en roedores para investigar formas de prevenir la atrofia muscular y ósea en los viajes espaciales.
Robotic Tool Stowage (RiTS), una estación de acoplamiento para mantener a los equipos RELL (equipos robóticos detectores de fugas) almacenados al exterior de la Estación, para su rápida utilización.
''Cold Atom Laboratory'' (CAL),  un laboratorio que produce nubes de átomos a temperaturas extremadamente cercanas al cero absoluto. Los átomos, al carecer casi por completo de movimiento, permitirán a los astronautas estudiar sus comportamientos fundamentales y características cuánticas, algo muy difícil de hacer en laboratorios terrestres.

Escape from New York: Mayor Bill Established COVID Checkpoints at Bridges and Crossings for Turkey Day
@mvespa1
Posted: Nov 27, 2020 6:45 PM

So, it would seem the film Escape from New York is not all that far-fetched. Coronavirus caused New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to establish checkpoints at the bridges and tunnels to help curb the spread.
In the movie, Manhattan Island is a massive prison to help deal with the nation's rising crime rate in a dystopian United States. It's cut off from the rest of the country. Well, in 2020, the Big Apple crime is spiking, thanks to Billy and the Democratic political leadership spitting in the face of the police. New York City is also the epicenter for the United States' COVID outbreak. It's also the state with the highest death toll. It's the state where its governor forced nursing homes, hubs for the nation's at-risk populace regarding pathogens, to admit COVID-positive patients. Thousands died as a result. So, New York has been great when it comes to killing scores of old people, letting the virus spread like a brushfire, and then pointing the finger at everyone else to cover their own incompetence. King William made this announcement before the Thanksgiving holiday (via The Blaze):
...de Blasio announced that city officials and law enforcement would be focused on making sure people follow the COVID edicts by ramping up penalties and checkpoints. Included in the stricter New York mandates is a travel quarantine for non-New Yorkers coming into the city.
No one will be spared from the crackdown.
"We're going to make sure that people are reminded constantly throughout this whole holiday season if you travel, there are very clear rules you have to follow..."
De Blasio said he doesn't want to do this, but it's necessary — to keep everybody safe — and he's got just the guy to make sure everybody follows the rules: Sheriff Joe Fucito.
"No one likes that, no one wants to do that in the holidays, but we will do it to keep people safe," the mayor added. "So, here to tell you about all our efforts to make sure people travel safely and follow the rules that will keep us all safe, our Sheriff Joe Fucito."
Fucito took the ball and ran with it, telling everyone that there will be increased vehicle checkpoints a bridges, tunnels, and crossings, and that his teams will be standing curbside at bus stops as riders disembark from out-of-state buses.
Anyone who does not follow the travel quarantine rules should know: "There will be consequences," including mandatory quarantine orders from the health commissioner, summons, and fines.
De Blasio has been an outright disaster when it comes to the COVID lockdown. First, he seems to have an unhealthy enforcement fetish when it comes to the Jewish community. Second, he bans mass gatherings except for Black Lives Matter protests because…nothing makes sense. And last, drags his feet regarding schools reopening, but declared daycares, which are used by 100,000+ kids, will be allowed to open. Makes no sense, Billy. And this edict is just ridiculous. De Blasio warned city residents that enforcement measures will be brutal
Look, this nonsense is done. There's no way to enforce this without de Blasio declaring himself king and going to every residence to ensure everyone is following the rules. This is ridiculous. And why should anyone take this seriously? The so-called medical experts aren't—that's for damn sure. Oh, what the death toll, right? If it was a concern, then why did California Gov. Gavin Newsom abscond to Napa with his wife for a fancy dinner with…medical doctors? There were no masks or social distancing. One has to wonder if these people know something that we don't. It's a bit tinfoil hat, but if this virus is such a big deal, why aren't the medical professionals and Democratic leaders treating it as such. Every single COVID lockdown fetishist has been caught red-handed flouting their own rules. The mask-wearing advice is as bullet ruddled as Bonnie and Clyde concerning credibility. The democrats and the media weaponized COVID to attack Trump, and now with the election over, the pervasive 180-degree turns on advice and the incessant panic porn peddling has exhausted everyone.
This is no longer about public safety. This is about control, and Democrats love to take constitutionally questionable power grabs for a spin. But everyone sees through this charade as well. It's totally backward to ask the healthy and otherwise not-at-risk population to quarantine itself. It's crazy talk—and it needs to stop. It's time to reopen, no matter what. Vaccines are on the way, but the virus will just have to burn through because the lockdown regime has no credibility. The era of the expert is finished. They did it to themselves.

Beyonce: I Don't Take Being a Role Model Lightly
by Singersroom June 20, 2011
Unlike many artists who are afraid of the words "role Model," Beyonce says it's her duty because she has always been in that position. The "Run The World" singer, who has had a positive career to date, says her position first started when she became a big sister and that she takes the role very seriously.
"Being a role model is something that I've always been. It's not something that I became, it's something I was already because I had a younger sister," Beyonce tells Entertainment Tonight.
Strip away all the notoriety and fame, the 29-year-old adds: "I believe that being a role model is something that every woman is, even if you don't realize it there is someone always watching you, there is someone that admires you. I believe we help each other so much," she explained. "I don't take being a role model lightly."
Beyonce will release her fourth solo album '4,' later this month. Even though the set leaked online three weeks before its release, it is still scheduled to drop on June 27th.

The producer confirmed that Anton Yelchin's Chekov will not be replaced with a new actor.
The tragic, early death of actor Anton Yelchin continues to echo throughout the Star Trek fan community as we grow ever closer to Yelchin's final performance as Ensign Pavel Chekov. Yelchin passed away at only 27 years old after a horrific accident in June. The fandom was already mourning the loss of Leonard Nimoy, who originally portrayed Star Trek's Spock on the history-making TV series. With possible future film installments on the horizon, the same question has been on everyone's mind: Will Yelchin be replaced?
Now, Executive Producer J.J. Abrams has opened up to clear the air and put the fandom at ease. "I would say there's no replacing him," Abrams says. "There's no recasting. I can't possibly imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better." But the future, and what will happen to the character, is a little less cut-and-dry.
"We knew going into this movie it would be a bit of a heartbreak just because of Leonard," Abrams tells Postmedia Network. "We had no idea just how devastating events would become." Regarding Yelchin's Chekov, the director says that there's a lot of consideration happening behind the scenes when it comes to what will happen to him in the film's universe. "I have thought about it, we're working on it, and it's too early to talk about it," says Abrams.
Past television shows and films sagas have all dealt with real-world death differently: just recently, fans mourned three years without Glee star Cory Monteith, who died in 2013 due to an overdose. Monteith played the show's lead male character, Finn, and Finn was in turn killed on the show, in an episode that left the cause of death vague and ended with a message from the devastated cast about substance abuse.
Star Trek Beyond will also give Yelchin a significant amount of screen time in comparison to its predecessors — a decision made when the film was still in production.

Next: The Rickinator on the Yankees


The January transfer window closes on Wednesday night, so time is running out for clubs to make potential vital changes.
The same goes for players, with many in the Premier League looking for a pastures new and a fresh start.
Despite seeing Philippe Coutinho move to Barcelona, Daniel Sturridge's Liverpool career still looks to be over.
There has been plenty of speculation today about a potential loan to Newcastle United.
The move could be ideal for player and club. The Magpies lack movement up front and Sturridge would become the focal point of the side.
But with rumours suggesting that the Englishman has not travelled north to meet the Geordie side, it's believed West Bromwich Albion could swoop in with a move of their own.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was Manchester United's saviour last season, but things are very different this time around.
The Swede has struggled to regain fitness from his cruciate ligament injury, and comments from Jose Mourinho suggest the club will not stop Ibrahimovic moving on.
Few sides can afford his wages however, and at 36-years-old, even fewer will see him as a viable target.
MLS side LA Galaxy are the only club in connection with the striker, and it's believed a move could be close.
Once a highly sought-after midfielder at Southampton, Morgan Schneiderlin's career has gone downhill since leaving the south coast.
The Frenchman failed to shine at Manchester United, and the move to Everton hasn't brought the revival many expected.
He has featured regularly for the Toffees this season, but it's believed a £20m offer from West Ham United is on the cards.
If so, Sam Allardyce may be keen to cash in and recoup the money Everton spent on the 28-year-old 12 months ago.


The 2015 Cadillac Escalade is anything but cheap at MSRP $72,970. You get acres of wood, premium leather, metals, and a standard 16-speaker Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound System – all of which is in an exceptionally large package.
But you're a high-level exec and it just so happens that a handful of mid-level managers also pilot Cadillac's flagship SUV. And your high-salaried rival in the office next door has a Concept One Curve 2015 Cadillac Escalade by Lexani Motorcars. What to do?
Enter the 2015 Cadillac Escalade Redesign Concept One Curve by Lexani Motorcars. It's still a 2015 Escalade with a built-in 48″ 4K Technology Curved Smart TV, and other private-jet luxuries. The screen also acts as the privacy screen between driver and passenger and, just like any other privacy screen, can be lowered at whim.
Where the newer Redesign Concept One Curve 2015 Escalade escalates over the Concept One Curve is an improved curved television and electronic rear curtains, along with what looks like different auxiliary monitors next to the C-pillar.
While the Redesign Concept One Curve centers on the magnitude, curvature and capability of its tv, passengers can also bask in the light of several built-in iPads and enjoy ridiculous amounts of plush leather and gold trim (or so it appears).
It's all insanely overwrought but, hey, that's the point. Check out Lexani's short clip below to see what's new.

Borys Ivanovych Balinsky (23 September 1905 – 1 September 1997) was a Ukrainian and South African biologist, embryologist, entomologist, professor of Kyiv University and University of the Witwatersrand. Pioneer researcher in the field of experimental embryology, electron microscopy and developmental biology. He was author of popular textbook in embryology An Introduction to Embryology.

Balinsky was born 23 September 1905, in Kyiv, Russian Empire (now Ukraine). He was a student of Ivan Schmalhausen and one of the first to experimentally induce organogenesis in amphibian embryos. Balinsky was a full university professor and the deputy director of the Institute of Biology in Kyiv (now I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology) at 28 years of age. He became a recognized expert in fish and amphibian development. Being a victim of Soviet repressions, he remained under German occupation during World War II and fled to Poznań, Poland and later Munich, Germany. Balinsky briefly worked in Scotland in Conrad Hal Waddington's laboratory on mice embryology. Finally, he went to South Africa to become one of the founders of South African experimental bioscience.

Balinsky also worked in entomology and described new species of Plecoptera, Odonata and moths from the family Pyralidae, mainly from Caucasus and South Africa.

He died in Johannesburg 1 September 1997. He had a son John Balinsky who is also a scientist.

Living In Midtown Atlanta
Spend just a few minutes in Midtown and you'll quickly realize that people here are on the move.
Trains And Trolleys
There are two free public shuttles offering service to Midtown's choicest locations. The Georgia Tech Trolley runs from the Institute's Transit Hub on Ferst Drive to the Midtown MARTA Station on 10th Street.
Transportation is more comprehensive in Midtown than anywhere else in Atlanta. There are many stops throughout campus and Midtown, including the Publix Supermarket off West Peachtree near Tech Square. And, with the exception of official Institute holidays, the Trolley operates all year long. Boarding at the Arts Center Station, the Atlantic Station shuttle runs the length of the 17th Street bus only lane to The Flats, also making stops at designated MARTA bus stops.
Midtown Atlanta is one of the best walkable Atlanta neighborhoods. The Eastside BeltLine Trail: Northern Hiking Extension allows Midtowners to hike or run the length of a 2.8 mile unpaved trail north of the Eastside BeltLine from Piedmont Park to Montgomery Ferry in Midtown Atlanta.

Q: Add list to list issue I have same type of 2 object lists and first item of first list should be added specific times. Also every cycle i should increase the datetime value with AddSeconds(). This is my code below:
List<Logs> logList = new List<Logs>();
List<Logs> chartList = new List<Logs>();

for (int i = 0; i < specificValue; i++)
{
    chartList.Add(logList[0]);
    logList[0].Date = logList[0].Date.AddSeconds(1);
}

My purpose is creating chart data with change log so i have to add same value to chartList with specific time with incremental date value. But my problem this code creates a chartList with all the same value of the last loglist item. I found some solutions with using foreach but in that situation i have to use for loop.

A: When you call chartList.Add(logList[0]), you are adding a reference to the object, not creating a new object.
So on the next line, when you add 1 second to the object, you also add that 1 second to the object in chartList. In fact, all the objects in chartList are references to the exact same object.
You need to create a copy of the object when you add it to chartList.


Who knew that I'd find another person. . . someone that was actually alive. Something alluring finally happened this year. Sure, I got put in the ninth grade algebra II course, but I was anticipating that it would occur. No way. I feel kind of bad about it really, but there is a girl. Age twelve, height; four feet, three inches, classroom number 378. She has been ill for an entire year now, and last week, she finally agreed to see the nurse. She was in my group for the seventh grade Book Reading Book Writing Book Designing project. I was really excited for this, until I found something out.
"We don't have time to wait! The project is due next month!" Cathleen insists.
"Don't be a doofus. How are we supposed to know what to write about if Miranda isn't giving us our ideas?" I ask. Miranda is known for giving weird and interesting story ideas, but all her stories she's written turn out pretty well. No where near to as close as Jenna's. No one can match the inimitable suspense and excitement she puts in her books. She already has four published, and they're in the library right now.
"You know what? I'll go to the library and choose a reading book." Cathleen says.
"Yeah but it better not be one of those dumb boyfriend kissy kissy romance books that you read." I say, making it clear. I HATE those books. I would take all of them and throw them in the trash if I could. That's saying a lot. I LOVE booksCathleen rolls her eyes and shoots me a dirty look. Once she is back with a decent suspense novel, we start reading. It's one hour later, and Miranda still isn't here. I just figure she went home, but no. It's a school requirement that whoever is going home because of sickness has to tell their working group first before they just leave. I hop up, and start walking. I don't bother to tell the teacher. I swing open the door, but before I can walk two feet, I bump into Liv (we call Olivia Liv for short).
"Hey. What are you doing here just lingering in the hallway?" I ask.
"Ican'ttalkrightnowIcan'ttalkrightnowIcan'ttalkrightnow!" She's talking a mile a minute, her hands are on her head and she looks distressed.
"Sheesh. I've never seen the class clown act so serious." I comment. That's how I found out not to mess with her because at that moment she poured maple syrup all over my head. She is laughing her head off as I am trying to get the syrup to put down on my hands and out of my hair.
"And that, folks, is how to gain respect." Does she always carry a tiny bottle of the stuff around? I walk into the nurse's office, but Olivia tugs on my arm and begs me not to go in. I ignore her, but finally find out why Miranda isn't working on the project with us.


The very words uncertainty and ambiguity conger up multiple negative meanings and experiences like vagueness, obscurity, doubtfulness and lack of clarity. These hardly seem the stuff of successful leadership. How can tolerating ambiguity be an asset? To understand that, one has to first be willing to slow down. A rush to judgement or quick action will not serve you here. Clear headed creative decision making actually starts with ambiguity. Oddly enough, it is essential that you find it before you proceed because even the most seemingly straight forward decisions will be enhanced by seeking ambiguity. Why? Because when we seek ambiguity it causes us to dig deeper with our shovel of curiosity. The surface facts may seem compelling but for major decisions, we need to expose some roots and overturn the soil. What we find there may be of great interest and use, perhaps even treasure. So dig in with curiosity for the facts and keep an eye out for multiple possibilities.
Next, let's evaluate the time factor. How true is your deadline for decision making on this problem? Is it really yesterday or do you just want to be done with it and make it go away? Dan and Chip Heath in their 2013 book, Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work, cited research that 70% of Fortune 500 companies don't make decisions any better than most adolescents. Both groups have too narrow a focus, often contemplate only one option and then quickly vote it up or down. Having declared their single-option decision, these CEO's and teens, then spend the bulk of their time convincing others of its worth and trying to make their option work, usually to poor results.
Taking the time to find even 2-3 additional alternatives significantly boosts your percentage rates for success. Holding and tolerating the space of uncertainty while other options emerge will force more data and ideas to come forward and a broader frame of reference to consider the problem more fully. Having additional alternatives seems too simple to miss. However, the fact that it is so often absent in major decision making should tell you volumes about our aversion to uncertainty. Ambiguity tolerance is truly a success skill to cultivate.
We never truly know what's going to happen. This sitting at the edge of the unknown can be uncomfortable and simultaneously exciting.
Another dynamic factor concerning ambiguity is that we never truly know what's going to happen. This sitting at the edge of the unknown can be uncomfortable and simultaneously exciting. Again, beware the salesman of certitude in the early stages of decision making. His confidence, assurances and easy convictions may seem to soothe your fears. However, this ploy is often just a slicker version of the single option solution we discussed earlier. To help work through some of the ambiguities it is necessary to separate facts from fears. Listing both facts and fears for each solution alternative can help you reality test more accurately. We may not always like the facts, but at least we can work with them. Fears are always negative predictions about the future that hasn't arrived yet. Don't mistake a fear masquerading as a fact. Facts force us to sit firmly in the present moment. Fears pull us away from clear decision making.
With as many facts in hand as possible for each option it's now time to run some tests. Whether through simulations or direct testing this is the place to finally try out your different scenarios. New information always emerges. Perhaps it confirms your biases or blows them away. Either way you need to proceed slowly. The temptation to ignore new data because it is inconvenient or disproves your beliefs is strong. But, confirmation bias can be even more seductive. Keep testing and analyzing all the options. One of the hallmarks of ambiguity is the experience of holding multiple and sometimes conflicting truths simultaneously. You might find out like Scott Cook, co-founder and CEO of Intuit, that some of the best decisions are made when they are based on what he calls "leadership by experimentation" rather than power, coercion and flashy presentations. So remember to get multiple eyes on your clinical trial data.
Now, you have your results and it feels like time to make that decision, right? Not so fast: before you commit to your solution, it's time to do a gut check. This may feel like a poor time to re-introduce a bit of ambiguity, but the results can be fascinating. Close your eyes and take a few moments to calm your body and slow your thoughts. When you're ready, focus on your first option for solving your problem. Notice how your body responds to this option. Do you become calmer inside or do you sense greater internal tension or chaos? Slowly, one by one, try this gut check with each option. Ask others to do the same body-focused exploration. If you find too much tension, fear or confusion around your options, go back and re-evaluate them. Often times, slower is faster, both in the short and long run. If there appears to be consistent calm around one or more option, factor this information into the overall data. The role of intuition experienced through a gut check like this is an important additional piece of information to consider within the total solution.
Finally, the moment for decision has arrived. Given all that you have considered, analyzed, experimented with, intuited, and conferred on, it's time to put your decision into play. And you still could be wrong. Ambiguity strikes again. It has been said that there are no bad decisions. However, every decision we make has consequences. Now that we've made our decision, we will have to wait and see what consequences emerge. Rare are the plans that unfold exactly as we've anticipated. Maintaining our flexibility and capacity to respond to the unexpected remains. Even as we sign off on a project's implementation, we know that re-evaluating its progress is right around the corner.
Ambiguity weaves its way through the entire decision making process. It is there not to thwart our decisions but to strengthen them. Holding uncertainty and bending it towards curiosity is a powerful tool for assisting us in finding clearer options. Ambiguity helps us hold a focus of "both/and" rather than the limiting "either/or" view. You can be a better decision maker than most Fortune 500 CEO's and 15 year olds you know if you continue to embrace ambiguity. Keep opening up to ambiguity and you'll be surprised at all the gifts that arrive.

Discussion in 'General TV Discussions Forum' started by suffolktoon, Dec 31, 2006.
When I went plasma I gave this TV to my sister. It is only 3 years old now and is apparently faulty.
Comes up with the message "No services". Refuses to change to analogue, to aux channels etc. Can't find the remote so had to try to use the buttons on the side of the TV to make any changes.
Anyone got an idea what the problem could be?
Can't find the remote so had to try to use the buttons on the side of the TV to make any changes.
Well I think before you go any further you'll need to find the remote as the message "No Services" refers to the digital channels and you'll need to access the setup menu to tune it to whatever transmitter feeds the area your sister stays at...it can't be done without the remote.


At number 22 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time is "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. This song, released in 1963, was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector, and produced by Spector. The song is considered one of the most influential pop songs of the early 1960s, with Spector's elaborate recording sound, his "wall of sound", influencing artists like The Beatles and The Beach Boys.
At number 22 in Rolling Stone Magazine's '500 Greatest Songs of all Time' is "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes.
The only one of these albums which I own is "Let it Be", although I do have albums by Tom Waits and Roxy Music. I also own songs by The Temptations, ZZ Top, and Jackson Browne. I have heard of Massive Attack, but have no idea who LCD Soundsystem or M.I.A are.
"Let it Be" was the last album that The Beatles released, although it was actually recorded before "Abbey Road". The album was released as the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Paul McCartney had the idea in late 1968 of filming The Beatles in the studio, and putting together a "fly on the wall" documentary of the band which would include live recordings of their performing new songs. The band started filming in Twickenham film studios in January 1969, but the sessions there soon degenerated into bickering and fighting.
At number 392 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 greatest albums is "Let it Be" by The Beatles.
The movie ended up being a documentary about the disintegration of The Beatles, rather than a celebration of their music. Here is the official trailer for the film.
The film itself has not been available since the 1980s, and so far has not been re-released on DVD. Apparently The Beatles would prefer it not to be re-released as it casts the band in such a negative light. But, despite the unhappy circumstances surrounding the film and the accompanying album, there is some very fine music on this album.
It is the only Beatles album not produced by George Martin. The film and album were abandoned as The Beatles relationship with each other deteriorated. Then American producer Phil Spector was brought in to put an album together. He added his trademark orchestral embellishments on many of the songs, so on songs like John Lennon's "Across the Universe" for example, the orchestral arrangements were added by Spector.
In 2003 The Beatles released a new version of this album, entitled "Let it Be… Naked". Overseen by McCartney, it features stripped down versions of the songs, so for example one can hear the original "acoustic" version of "Across the Universe". In general I like the stripped down versions of the songs more than the Phil Spector versions, but both albums are great albums in my opinion. I am surprised the album is so low in the 500 greatest albums list, and below some of the other Beatles albums.
I have already blogged about their live performance of "Get Back" on the roof of the Apple building in London. So, today I thought I would include the title track. Although it is one of The Beatles' most well known songs, "Let it Be" it is still one of their best and a fitting swan-song to the greatest band in history.


Tehran is pulling its Iranian Revolutionary Crescent Guards out of Syria, Israeli officials confirmed Tuesday morning, amid high casualty rates among pro-Syrian forces.
Two weeks ago, a senior Western defense official estimated to Bloomberg News at the Saban Forum in Washington that just 700 Iranian troops remained in Syria, fighting alongside Hezbollah, Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces, and Russian forces against Syrian rebels.
Israeli officials, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that estimate to Walla! News Tuesday, estimating just 700-800 Iranian soldiers remain in Syria, down from an estimated 2,000-7,000 as of late October.
Intelligence officials from the West and Israel both estimate that the high casualty count – particularly among high-ranking officers – has caught Tehran by surprise, although exact numbers are not yet known. The Iranian press runs death notices of Iranian soldiers killed in Syria daily.
In late November, a Syrian monitoring group confirmed that Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' (IRGC) elite Qods Force, was himself injured in Aleppo.


Dashboard cameras can provide an invaluable record of what happens in or around your vehicle, but many have inherent problems. The Owl Car Cam overcomes most of these problems thanks to a combination of its dual cameras and always-on cellular connectivity. Other dashboard cameras record their data locally, so damage or theft of the camera itself means loss of any footage it captured – the Owl camera uploads video on-the-fly using the AT&T 4G network across the USA, ensuring that data is never lost. If someone does break in and steals the Owl Car Cam, the user gets a thief selfie and a replacement camera.
The Owl Car Camera has two HD cameras, one facing out from the dashboard and the second recording the interior of the car. As long as the car is on, the cameras are recording and video is kept for up to 14 days (based on how much you drive). The Owl unit has a small screen to monitor the live feed of what the cameras see, putting everyone in and around the car on notice that they are being recorded.
The software recognizes specific situations and creates video clips that are saved and sent, instantly, to the user's phone: crashes are automatically recorded, any bump, break-in or impact to the car causes the Owl to instantly wakes and records, and saying a trigger word makes creates a clip to capture traffic stops or any "omg" moment, from crazy drivers to sasquatch sightings.
The Owl Car Camera draws power directly from your car's OBD2 diagnostic port (standard in most cars and trucks from 1996 and after, although Tesla Model 3s aren't supported yet) while still looking out for your car's battery. The camera enters ultra-low power standby if the battery voltage is low or if you have not driven for 24 hours.
Owl Car Camera keeps a recording of the situation inside and outside of your car.
All the video captured by the Owl is privacy locked, only the registered user can review the video through their smartphone. Users can also remotely access the cameras live and see what the activities around your car.
We were sent a review unit of the Owl Car Camera (all opinions are, of course, our own) and tested it on both NYC streets and suburban roads. Our experiences while driving with the Owl Car Camera were exactly as we hoped, we captured several videos of unsafe drivers (including one very reckless moped). We also found an unexpected benefit of the Owl's dual cameras when we parked our car in a managed garage or a valet – since the driver knows that both the interior and exterior are being monitored, they take extreme care with your vehicle.
Owl Car Camera and one year of instant video service is now available for only $349 at owlcam.com (affiliate link).
