Zvyg Nikki Haley Heckled With We Love Trump! Shouts at CPAC Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood in House of Cards on NetflixNathaniel Bellmdash;NetflixBy Tara JohnUpdated: March 4, 2016 9:14 AM [ET] | Originally published: March 4, 2016 8:25 AM EST;Correction appended March 4Frank Underwood, the fictional character from House of Cards, has written an opinion editorial saying that he would vote to leave the E.U. in the June 23 referendum.If I were a Brit I wonder if Irsquo;d be more afraid to stay in the E.U. than to leave writes Underwood in the The Times of London. The piece was written by House of Cards creator Michael Dobbs who advocates Britain leaving the E.U., which has been nicknamed Brexit ;.The Machiavellian character endorsement comes as a sort of mixed blessing for Brexit campaigners, who believe that the economic and political partnership between European countries is bad for British sovereignty.Brussels is a bit of a used bus ticket. Anyway I donrsquo;t ride buses. There was a time when Europeans rode chariots and sailed ships, had ambition, ideas, built great em pires writes Underwood, who was originally called Francis Urquhart in the British version of House of Cards . They had two thousand years as the centre of the world but ask yourself. When did Europe last peel any potatoes Their leaders have sat so long on their marble thrones t hat not only have their balls turned to con crete but their minds, too.In a similar vein to Eurosceptics, the Netflix series 8 Svin Spain and Portugal Experience Hottest April Ever Recorded By Nathan McAlone / Business InsiderDecember 16, 2015 5:30 PM ESTFalling asleep during a Netflix binge can be annoying.Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you are, when you wake up, you might have no idea where you fell asleep in the episode. You might not even remember which episode you were in altogether.Fortunately Netflix has a cheeky solution to your problems: Netflix socks. Netflix has built socks that read your body to understand when you fall asleep, and then automatically pause your Netflix show.Netflix not only built the prototype of these socks, but it also actually put some totally do-able DIY plans online so you can make your own.Netflix based the sleep-detection system in th e socks off of actigraphy, which uses an accelerometer to tell when you ;ve stopped moving for a while presumably when you ;ve fallen asleep . In the socks prototype, an LED light in the cuff of the sock begins to flash red when you ;ve been immobile, letting you know it is about to pause you r show. If you move at all, it cancel s the countdown.Now these socks aren ;t perfectly accurate, but it still a fun idea that wearable makers might want to take note of. I would certainly welcome a smartwatch that could catch me nodding off while watching Netflix.This article originally appeared on Business InsiderMore from Business Insider: There a cheeky Netflix and chill ; joke on the Netflix app This is how good Netflix

Ndlb Martin O Malley Calls For More Restrictions on NSA Surveillance Houston, TexasMurat Taner鈥擥etty ImagesBy Josh SanburnJanuary 22, 2015 12:56 PM ESTU.S. cities in the South and West are more likely to have recovered from the recession while metropolitan areas in the Midwest and Northeast have largely struggled, according to a new report.The Brookings Institution report finds that Austin, Houston and Raleigh, N.C., have outpaced other U.S. c ities in terms of GDP growth per capita and rising employment since 2007, with Fresno, Calif., and Dallas rounding out the top five. MORE: Oklahoma Shakesmdash;Is Fracking to Blame The report, released Thursday, tracks how cities around the world have fared since the recession. Globally, the main metropolitan drivers are found in developing countries, especially China and Turkey.In the U.S., the cities with the strongest GDP growth and employment levels since the Great Recession are generally found in the south and west, largely due to the growth of the energy sector.Those places are the epicenter of what has been the shale energy boom thatrsquo been occurring in the U.S., says Joseph Parilla, a Brookings research analyst and lead author of the Global MetroMonitor report.

Sxwd AIRS: 15 Years of Seeing What 39 in the Air NASA said today that the InSight lander mission has run out of power and is over, four years and a month after the probe landed on M ars. The lander, designed to reveal the Martian interior, has slowly suffocated under a relentless drift of Martian dust, which covered its solar panels. The last contact occurred on December 15, and NASA announced Monday that the lander was not responding to communications. InSight imaged the Martian surface and used its seismometer to deduce elements of Mars interio r, such as the size of its mantle and the makeup of its core. Over four years, the lander detected meteorite impacts, seismic marsquakes, and a passing dust devil. Early on, the mission struggled with its Mole, a heat probe that was supposed to bury itself underground to take the planets temperature. Alas, the Martian regolith turned out to be a trickier substance than NASA anticipated. The missions expected end was pushed several times, as the lander managed to persist in spite of its debilitating situation. NASA scientists performed numerous stopgap operations to prolong InSights life, from pouring Martian soil on its solar panels to turning off its cameras and safe modes to devote remaining battery to scientific operations. In total, InSight detected over 1,300 marsquakes during its 1,440 sols on Mars and sent nearly 7,000 images back to Earth. When things started looking grim for InSight, I reached out to scientists who worked on the lander as well as with the landers data.

So you donrsquo;t confuse the theme of my talk with the slogan of a particular presidential campaign, let me delineate the difference.When I hear Donald Trump suggest that he wants to make America great again, it always triggers the same three questions in my head. One: How is Trump defining greatness Irsquo;m not sure he and I share an understanding of what makes a nation truly great. For me, it starts with how you treat the childre n, the poor, the aged and infirmed, how you embrace equality as you labor for equity. Equality means that everyone gets the same in America, whether they need it or not. Equity says we commit to ensuring that all fellow citizens have the basic resources that will give them commensurate opportunities to contribute meaningfully to our society. Two: Since so many fellow citizens have yet to experience the true greatness of America for the first time, for whom are we making America great again And, three: To what specific period of American greatness are you wantin g u

CBS reports the 53-year-old might have swiped a pair of official blue gloves to look the part.The actual agents noticed something was amiss when they saw him bringing a second woman to the booth, as male officers are only allowed to do that if a female agent is present.The man is currently facing charges for being drunk in public.[CBS]More Must-Reads from TIMEHow the Economy is Doing in the Swing StatesHar ris Battles For the Bro VoteOur Guide to Voting in the 2024 ElectionMel Robbins Will Make You Do ItWhy Vinegar Is So Good for YouYou Dont Have to Dread the End of Daylight SavingThe 20 Best Halloween TV Episodes of All TimeMeet TIMEs Newest Class of Next Generation LeadersContact us at letters@time Hksg What Generative AI Reveals About the Human Mind By Maya RhodanJanuary 18, 2017 2:49 PM ESTPresident Obama does not believe his decision to shorten the sentence of Chelsea Manning will signal his support for leaking state secrets.The President remarks follow a defense put forward by his White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest earlier on Wednesday. The White House has faced backlash because of his decision, largely from Congressional Republicans. The President announced his decision to commute Manning sentence from 35 years to time served plus 120 days on Tuesday evening. Her sentence will expire on May 17, 2017.Letrsquo be clear Chelsea Manning has served a tough prison sentence, President Obama said during his final press conference on Wednesday. The notion that the average person who is thinking about exposing vital classified information will think that it goes unpunished; I donrsquo;t think would get that impression from the sen tence that Chelsea Manning has served.The President said the time Manning was sentenced to was disproportionate to the sentences other whistleblowers have faced. I feel very comfortable that justice has still been served, Obama said.It has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received, and that she had served a significant amount of tim

To Bednarik, the Philadelphia Eagles star from 1949 to 1962, a footb all game was not a piece of crockery deigned by Andy Warhol. It was trench warfare every Sunday afternoon, in the Iron Age of professional football. And Bednarik, who died Saturday at 89 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was the NFL Iron Man.No. 60 was also the 60-Minute Man, often playing both offense center and defense linebacker for an entire gamemdash;including the title skirmish against Vince Lombardi legendary Green Bay Packers, on Dec. 26, 1960, which brought the Eagles their most satisfying championship, and their last to date. More than a half-century later, Phi lly fans of advanced age remember that game as the pinnacle of civic pride, the Billy Penn hat of sporting events, and a testament to the city working-class grit as exemplified by Concrete Charlie Bednarik.The son of a Bethlehem, Pa., steelworker from Slovakia, Charles Philip Bednarik had a body built for the gamemdash;6 ft., 2 in., 235 lb., back when that was mastodon-sizemdash;and the requisite remorseless dedication.

But solar farms as they are currently envisioned come at a cost: acres and acres of land that could otherwise be used for food production or rewilding, creating biodiverse wildernesses that preserve nature and function as carbon sinks.
