Two sisters aged 5 and 8 'miraculously' found after 44 hours in Californian wilderness

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 03:48 AM PST

Two sisters aged 5 and 8 'miraculously' found after 44 hours in Californian wildernessArmed with some outdoor survival training, granola bars and pink rubber boots, five- and eight-year-old sisters survived 44 hours in rugged Northern California wilderness before they were found dehydrated and cold but in good spirits on Sunday, authorities said. A fire chief and firefighter from a local volunteer department found Leia and Caroline Carrico in a wooded area about 1½ miles (2.3 kilometres) from their home in the small community of Benbow, where they had last been seen Friday afternoon, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. Benbow is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northwest of Sacramento. The girls were "safe and sound" and uninjured, thanks in part to survival training they got with their local 4-H club, Mr Honsal said. "This is an absolute miracle," he said. "This is rugged territory, this is an extreme environment. How they were out there for 44 hours is pretty amazing." The sisters were last seen on Friday outside their home in California Credit: Humboldt County Sheriff's Office via AP A photo of one of the girls posted by the sheriff's office and already being widely shared on social media shows her wearing pink rubber boots, dirty jeans, a long pink shirt and a woolen cap. She is standing while a firefighter kneels down and talks to her. One person commented that "she looks like a seasoned outdoor gal" while another said, "those little adventurers will sure have a story to tell!" Mr Honsal said the girls were given fresh warm clothes, water and food and were being assessed but were in good spirits and doing well. "A lot of us didn't get any sleep the last 48 hours or so," Mr Honsal said. "To have a positive outcome like this is just absolutely amazing ... These girls definitely have a survival story to tell." He said the firefighters who found the girls had followed their boot prints. The firefighters were part of a massive search of a vast and rugged rural area that included a dozen agencies, including the National Guard, helicopters and tracking dogs. Rescuers were hopeful about finding the girls Saturday after they came across prints from their boots and wrappers from granola bars, Lt. Mike Fridley said. "The wrappers showed us a direction from where they started to where the wrappers ended up at," Mr Fridley said. Mr Fridley said he was the one who got to call the girls' mother and tell them her daughters were alive. "She melted on the phone," he said.

Pakistan airspace fully reopened, says aviation authority

Pakistan airspace fully reopened, says aviation authorityPakistan fully reopened its airspace on Monday, authorities said, days after it closed its skies to all air travel, leaving thousands stranded worldwide as tensions with nuclear arch-rival India soared. The decision to close the airspace came last Wednesday after a rare aerial dogfight between India and Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir ignited fears of an all-out conflict, with world powers rushing to urge restraint. "All airports across Pakistan are operational and airspace reopened," a spokeswoman for the Civil Aviation Authority told AFP Monday, adding the process had been completed by 1:00 pm (0800 GMT).

Google Study: Male Employees Are Underpaid More Often Than Females

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 11:05 AM PST

Google Study: Male Employees Are Underpaid More Often Than FemalesGoogle released an internal analysis on Monday that indicates its male employees received less pay than other employees for doing the same work more often than their female counterparts.As a result of the findings, which were first reported by the New York Times, Google provided an additional $9.7 million to 10,677 employees, the majority of whom are men, to compensate them for unexplained discrepancies between their 2018 pay and that of co-workers who have the same responsibilities.Google conducts a pay-equity analysis on an annual basis in order to "look for unexplained differences in total compensation (salary, bonus, and equity) across demographic groups," according to a blog post published Monday on the company website. The analysis included 91 percent of the company's total workforce, and excluded only those employees who work in a role with fewer than 30 other employees or employees representing fewer than five demographic groups.The study did not take into account other factors that might result in a gender-pay disparity, such as discrimination that leads to fewer women receiving promotions, or a phenomenon known as "leveling," in which women may receive a lower starting salary than equally qualified men."Our pay equity analysis ensures that compensation is fair for employees in the same job, at the same level, location and performance," the blog post read. "But we know that's only part of the story. Because leveling, performance ratings and promotion impact pay, this year, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of these processes to make sure the outcomes are fair and equitable for all employees."Google is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in California that alleges widespread discrimination against female employees. The company is also facing a class-action lawsuit initially filed in 2017 by James Damore, a software engineer who was fired for circulating a memo that argued the disparity in gender representation and pay within the company may reflect biological differences between men and women that affect inherent interest levels in various fields.The Department of Labor opened an investigation into the company in April 2017 after finding "systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce."

You might never even use one of the Galaxy S10’s best new features

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 06:26 AM PST

You might never even use one of the Galaxy S10's best new featuresAfter what seems like an eternity thanks to months of leaks and rumors, Samsung's new Galaxy S10 family of phones will finally be released this Friday. You can read our full in-depth Galaxy S10 review if you want to learn everything you need to know about the new phones, but suffice it to say they are by far the best new Android smartphones money can buy right now. Last year's flagship smartphone lineup from Samsung was boring and uninspired. The Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, and Galaxy Note 9 all recycled Samsung's old designs from 2017 and failed to introduce any compelling new features. Samsung's smartphone sales took a huge hit as a result, but the company clearly learned its lesson because the 2019 Galaxy S10 lineup rights all of the wrongs from 2018.Samsung's Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ all feature sleek designs that showcase a new kind of all-screen setup. They have tiny bezels above and below the gorgeous Dynamic AMOLED screens, and then the selfie cameras are situated inside holes that have been cut out of the screens themselves. It's a nifty solution that some people will like much more than a traditional notch, and it's definitely a big selling point for Samsung's new flagships. But the Galaxy S10 family is about much more than just a new design, because it's packed full of cool new features that Android fans are going to love.The new cameras on Samsung's Galaxy S10 lineup are incredible, and the in-display fingerprint sensor is a breath of fresh air. There are also plenty of other new features to get excited about if you plan to buy a new Galaxy S10 phone later this week. That said, there's one new feature in particular that has been generating a ton of buzz, and we're not entirely convinced that it's warranted. It's an awesome and innovative new feature, for sure. But once the novelty wears off, it's also a feature that most people probably won't use very often, if at all.On the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+, Samsung has introduced a novel new capability called Wireless PowerShare. The Galaxy S10 family of phones are among the first to have this new feature, but it's something that's expected to become quite popular this year on flagship smartphones.Where as most flagship phones can be charged wirelessly when you place them on a wireless charging pad or stand, Samsung's Galaxy S10 can also become a wireless charging pad itself. Simply enable Wireless PowerShare and place your phone face-down on a table or desk, and any smartphone or accessory you place on top will begin charging as long as it supports wireless charging, of course. It's a very smart feature that has plenty of Android fans excited, but is it really all that useful?One big problem with the feature is fairly obvious: you can't use your Galaxy S10 at all while it's functioning as a wireless charger. That means your phone is basically useless to you while you're sharing power with a friend's phone. Since the output isn't very fast, you're not going to be able to move a meaningful amount of power in just a few minutes, so you'll have to be okay with leaving your phone untouched for quite some time. That also means you're taking a big chunk out of your own battery life.Many people who are excited about Wireless PowerShare say they intend to use it to charge up their Galaxy Buds while they charge their phone overnight, and that brings up another big problem with the feature. Using the Galaxy S10 as a wireless charger means you obviously can't place your phone on a wireless charger to refuel it.Wireless charging is one of the greatest things to happen to smartphones in the past five years. It's just so convenient to not have to deal with cables or connectors anymore. Personally, I would never go back to using a phone I had to plug in all the time, and I'm sure plenty of people feel the same way. Using your Galaxy S10 as an overnight wireless charger itself for an accessory or for a partner's phone means going back to plugging it in rather than just plopping it down on a pad or stand.Also of note, people who buy Galaxy Buds will make up a miniscule percentage of Galaxy S10 owners, and not many other headphones or smartphone accessories support wireless charging. That means the only opportunity most S10 owners will even have to user Wireless PowerShare is to charge another smartphone wirelessly, and we've already explained why that's not often practical.The only scenario where I can see Wireless PowerShare being useful on a regular basis is when you travel. This way, you can pack a single power cord and use your Galaxy S10 to recharge other devices while it's plugged in overnight. Beyond that, this isn't a feature most people will use on a regular basis. It's definitely neat to have the option, and if you plan to buy Galaxy Buds then it'll be nice to give the case a quick charge if the battery dies. But using Wireless PowerShare on a regular basis is more trouble than it's worth, and it's certainly not something most Galaxy S10 owners will use very often.
