| One of Europe's Largest Airlines Is Changing Gates for Erdogan Posted: 05 Apr 2019 09:00 PM PDT  The move -- a 45-hour sprint slated to end at midnight on Saturday -- is a massive undertaking, involving transporting more than 1,000 tons of equipment every hour from the 1950s-era Ataturk hub to the giant new airport, which occupies an area larger than Manhattan. The transfer by Europe's fifth-largest airline was delayed several times in recent months because of the complexity of starting a facility designed to eventually handle 200 million passengers a year -- roughly triple Ataturk's current traffic. Turkish Airlines plans to wind down services at its old base, with the last flight departing for Singapore at 2 a.m. local time on Saturday.

| Israel's Netanyahu says plans to annex settlements in West Bank if reelected Posted: 06 Apr 2019 03:06 PM PDT  In an interview with Israeli Channel 12 News three days ahead of the April 9 poll, Netanyahu was asked why he had not extended sovereignty to large West Bank settlements, as Israel did without international recognition in east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, both captured in the 1967 Middle East war. Netanyahu has cast Gantz as a weak leftist who would endanger Israel's security by giving territorial concessions to the Palestinians.

| A Japanese spacecraft just shot at an asteroid... to try and make a crater Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:58 PM PDT  Tell you what, it's certainly not everyday someone shoots at an asteroid.Japan's space agency, JAXA, tried to do just that with its Hayabusa-2 spacecraft, which was launched in 2014. It's been hanging out on asteroid called Ryugu since June 2018, where it's been studying the surface. SEE ALSO: Astronaut Anne McClain shares stunning moonset from the International Space StationA bit before midday Japan Standard Time (JST) on Friday, the spacecraft attempted to blast a new crater on Ryugu by firing something called a "small carry-on impactor" (SCI) toward the asteroid.> [SCI] April 5 at 11:56 JST. The SCI operation time has passed and we have confirmed there is no problem with the spacecraft during the evacuation operation.> > -- HAYABUSA2@JAXA (@haya2e_jaxa) April 5, 2019The SCI is a 2 kilogram (4.41 pound) copper lump which was fired toward the asteroid at a speed of 2 km per second (4,473 mph). Shaped like a cone and containing an explosive, the SCI is designed to create an artificial crater on the surface. The SCI was shot from an altitude of 500 metres (1,640 feet) from the asteroid's surface, and the time from release and explosion was about 40 minutes.In a press conference following the explosion, mission managers were worried about the potential debris from the operation, but said none of it made contact with the spacecraft.You can catch the feed of the operation in its entirety below.The purpose of the experiment is so researchers can analyse changes to the asteroid's surface after shooting at it, and capture materials that might be hidden underneath.You can see what it looks like when they shoot the SCI into Ryugu, thanks to a ground test simulating the experience. The fragments of gravel are meant to simulate the asteroid's surface, but you can imagine the lack of gravity in space would make for a lot more debris floating about.It'll be a few more weeks until the team goes hunting for the crater, with the search operation set to begin the week of Apr. 22.Researchers will take images of the surface where they think the bullet has hit, then look through the images by eye to see where they've made their mark. As for Hayabusa-2, it's expected to make its return to Earth sometime between November and December, with landing set for late-2020.

| MeToo founder Tarana Burke condemns Joe Biden’s ‘inexcusable’ responses to unwanted touching allegations Posted: 06 Apr 2019 05:46 AM PDT  The founder of the MeToo movement has hit out at Joe Biden for jokingly referring to complaints made against him by women about unwanted physical contact. Tarana Burke, who founded the movement against sexual harassment and assault, said the former vice president's light-hearted response was "disrespectful and inexcusable".Ms Burke, who first started using the phrase "MeToo" to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual misconduct in 2006, said the women were right to speak out against the veteran Democrat. But she Mr Biden appeared to be misconstruing the point they were attempting to make."So now he's making jokes? This is disrespectful and inexcusable," she wrote on Twitter. She added: "It's not that people become more 'sensitive' over time as Biden suggested. And it's not just about personal space or intention – it's about bodily autonomy, it's about power and leadership, and it's about living into who we say we are and who we want to be.""He has *not* been accused of sexual assault. No one is calling for him to be incarcerated or sent away. He has been called to task for deeply problematic behaviour that many folks, particularly men, engage in regularly – and that's a GOOD thing."Society could not only be angry when it is a "Weinstein situation", Ms Burke said, referring to disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein who has been accused by more than 80 women – including some of the most famous actors in Hollywood – of varying degrees of sexual misconduct going back decades.He is currently facing criminal charges on five counts of sexual abuse, including rape, relating to two accusers – charges he denies.Ms Burke said that "lesser talked about, often ignored violations and indignities" serve to intensify a "culture of silence around all sexual harassment and violence".Mr Biden did not directly address the accusations in his first public appearance since several women came forward with allegations of unwanted physical contact.> Yes, Biden has been instrumental in work to support women. No, that doesn't mean he's above reproach or can't course correct – but FIRST – he has to do some personal work and not just 'being mindful' but apologizing and using the tons of resources available to him.> > — Tarana (@TaranaBurke) > > April 5, 2019The 76-year-old, who is widely expected to enter the 2020 presidential race, was introduced by the president of the union, Lonnie Stephenson, as he took the stage in Washington at a gathering of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on Friday."I just want you to know – I had permission to hug Lonnie," Mr Biden quipped.The crowd, which was largely male, burst into laughter. The politician later made a similar joke after inviting a group of children onstage and putting his arm around a young boy."By the way, he gave me permission to touch him," he said, again sparking laughter.Mr Biden said: "Everybody knows I like kids more than people".The politician, who has been jointly elected twice as the running mate of former president Barack Obama, has not been accused of sexual assault or harassment but the women have said they felt he violated their personal space.Before his appearance Mr Biden, who is likely to be among Democratic favourites if he were to launch his third run for the White House, promised to change his behaviour in a video.He said: "Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I've heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful of personal space in the future. That's my responsibility and I will meet it."Speaking to reporters after Friday's event, Mr Biden was asked if he would apologise to the women directly.He said: "I'm sorry I didn't understand. I'm not sorry for any of my intentions."He added: "I literally think it is incumbent upon me and I think everybody else to make sure that if you embrace someone, if you touch someone, it's with their consent, regardless of your intention."At least four women have recently come forward to accuse Mr Biden of unwanted physical contact.Lucy Flores, a Democrat who served in the Nevada state assembly, former congressional aide Amy Lappos, Caitlyn Caruso and DJ Hill. All said he either touched them or hugged them in a way that made them uncomfortable.Donald Trump, who was accused of sexual harassment or assault by two-dozen women when he ran in 2016, has capitalised on the allegations to mock Mr Biden and tweeted a doctored video showing Mr Biden appearing to put his hands on his own shoulders.Pressed about whether he deemed Mr Biden a threat on Friday, the president replied: "No, I don't see Joe Biden as a threat. No. I don't see him as a threat. I think he's only a threat to himself."

| Turkish opposition says maintains lead in Istanbul as recount continues Posted: 05 Apr 2019 07:06 AM PDT  The AKP, hurt by a slowing economy, is reeling from its apparent loss of Istanbul, Turkey's commercial hub, and the capital Ankara, in Sunday's local elections. In power nationally since 2002, the AKP and its Islamist predecessors have dominated Turkey's two biggest cities for a quarter of a century. The mayoral candidate of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Ekrem Imamoglu, said he was 18,742 votes ahead of his AKP rival, ex-prime minister Binali Yildirim, after a recount of invalid votes in 17 of Istanbul's 39 districts and said that gap would not change much after the recount had ended.

| Study suggests cats are capable of learning their own names Posted: 04 Apr 2019 08:07 PM PDT  Most cat owners would tell you that their furry little friends definitely know their own names. As someone with a cat, I suppose I'd be inclined to believe that the animal I have been calling by name for over a decade does truly know what I've labeled him, but science has never been totally on board with that notion.Unlike past research efforts conducted with dogs, there hasn't been a ton of scientific effort put into determining whether cats are capable of understanding how names work. Whether any cats can tell the difference between their names and the names of other animals in the same home, or even random words, was something scientists from the Sophia University in Tokyo wanted to find out.To either prove or disprove the ability of cats to recognize their own names the researchers, led by Atsuko Saito, observed 78 cats in various settings that included individual homes as well as a public cat cafe.The challenge in determining how to test each animal's name recognition abilities led the team to devise a somewhat obvious experiment. First, the researchers chose random words and/or other names and repeated them to each animal so that they became used to hearing them. It's call habituation, and the idea is that once an animal is habituated to a word and realizes that it has no impact on them personally, they essentially ignore it.Then, the team mixed in each cat's name with the repeated words, testing whether or not the cats would remain attentive when they heard their own name even in the presence of words that had no meaning to them. The responses of the cats were scored based on how they reacted, with things like ear and tail movement considered positive signs that the animal was recognizing their name.What the researchers discovered was that while some of the animals did indeed seem to respond to their name while ignoring other repeated words, it wasn't a universal response. Household cats seemed to respond the most, and were able to tell their own names apart from fellow pets and random words. The cats in the cafe, however, seemed far less interested in their name, potentially revealing that being overwhelmed with stimuli or failure to learn their own names early on in life led caused them to be less responsive.Even among the household cats, the responses weren't totally convincing, with some cats responding to random words and others ignoring their own names.There are still a lot of questions to be answered here, including how an owner's voice combined with a cat's name (or even a nickname) affects the responses from the animals, but the study definitely leaves the door wide open for anyone who firmly believes their cat knows its own name.

| Social media gets thumbs-down in new US poll Posted: 05 Apr 2019 06:41 AM PDT  Americans are fearful about the impact of social media firms such as Facebook and Twitter, with many saying they spread misinformation and divide the country, even though most people still use these networks, a new poll showed Friday. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found 57 percent of Americans believe social media sites do more to divide the country, and 55 percent said the networks are more likely to spread "lies and falsehoods" than genuine news and information. "Social media -- and Facebook, in particular -- have some serious issues in this poll," said Micah Roberts of the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies, which conducted the survey with the Democratic firm Hart Research Associates.

| New Zealand attack suspect Brenton Tarrant to undergo mental health tests Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:45 PM PDT  A New Zealand judge on Friday ordered that the man accused of killing 50 people at two Christchurch mosques undergo two mental health assessments to determine if he's fit to stand trial. High Court judge Cameron Mander made the order during a hearing in which 28-year-old Australian Brenton Tarrant appeared via video link from a small room at the maximum security Paremoremo prison in Auckland. Mr Mander said nothing should be read into his order for the mental health assessments, as it was a normal step in such a case. Lawyers said it could take two or three months to complete. The judge said Tarrant was charged with 50 counts of murder and 39 counts of attempted murder. Police initially filed a single, representative murder charge before filing the additional charges this week. Tarrant was wearing handcuffs and a gray-coloured sweater when he appeared on a large screen inside the Christchurch courtroom, which was packed with family members and victims of the shooting, some in wheelchairs and hospital gowns and still recovering from gunshot wounds. A man in a wheelchair is escorted from outside the High Court in Christchurch Credit: AP Tarrant had stubble and close-cropped hair. He showed no emotion during the hearing. At times he looked around the room or cocked his head, seemingly to better hear what was being said. The judge explained that from his end, Tarrant could see the judge and lawyers but not those in the public gallery. Tarrant spoke only once to confirm to the judge he was seated, although his voice didn't come through because the sound was muted. It wasn't clear if his link had been deliberately or inadvertently muted. The courtroom was filled with more than two dozen reporters and about 60 members of the public. A court registrar greeted people in Arabic and English as the hearing got underway. Some of those watching got emotional and wept. In the March 15 attacks, 42 people were killed at the Al Noor mosque, seven were killed at the Linwood mosque and one more person died later. The day after the attacks, Tarrant dismissed an appointed lawyer, saying he wanted to represent himself. But he has now hired two Auckland lawyers to represent him, Shane Tait and Jonathan Hudson. Brenton Tarrant, charged for murder in relation to the mosque attacks, is seen in the dock during his appearance in the Christchurch District Court last month Credit: Reuters Legal experts have said he may try to use the hearings as a platform to present his ideology and beliefs. "If he has lawyers, he will be speaking a lot less in court," said Graeme Edgeler, a Wellington-based barrister and legal commentator. "He can still give evidence...that's possible, but if he's represented by lawyers and it goes to trial he won't be asking questions of people." The next court hearing was scheduled for June 14, and the mental health findings would determine whether he is required to enter a plea then. Outside the courtroom, Yama Nabi, whose father died in the attacks, said he felt helpless watching. "We just have to sit in the court and listen," Nabi said. "What can we do? We can't do nothing. Just leave it to the justice of New Zealand and the prime minister." Tofazzal Alam, 25, said he was worshipping at the Linwood mosque when the gunman attacked. He felt it was important to attend the hearing because so many of his friends were killed. Alam said he felt upset seeing Tarrant. "It seems he don't care what has been done. He has no emotion. He looks all right," Alam said. "I feel sorry. Sorry for myself. Sorry for my friends who have been killed. And for him."

| Early tests show Verizon’s new 5G network is insanely fast Posted: 05 Apr 2019 08:58 AM PDT  Remember how painstakingly slow the arrival of 4G LTE support felt a few years ago? Well, get ready to experience the same feeling as you wait for your carrier to roll out 5G in your area. Just like a few years ago, carriers around the world will gradually expand their new networks, starting with the busiest areas. If you're not in one of the major cities or locations that are going to be part of the first wave of the 5G rollout, you're surely going to envy the lucky few who get to use it. Take Verizon's first 5G markets, including Chicago and Minneapolis, where you can already take advantage of the next-gen network. And early speed tests will tell you that you indeed have every reason to be jealous.It'll be several years until we get the 5G speeds we really want, but the early tests aren't bad either, as they show that 5G is a lot faster than LTE in regular conditions. Verizon spokesman David Veissmann posted the following clip on Twitter, showing 5G speeds of up to 760Mbps registered in Minneapolis. Needless to say, that's pretty impressive.https://twitter.com/djweissmann/status/1113484741561290756CNET tested Verizon's 5G network in Chicago and saw real network speeds of over 516Mbps. Again, this isn't the maximum theoretical speed for 5G, but the following video will show you how incredibly fast 5G can be, at least when it comes to download speeds compared to 4G.https://twitter.com/CNET/status/1113885699558842368As the video shows, 5G connectivity is still spotty and that's only to be expected this early on. That means you might run in and out of 5G depending on where you are in the city, in which case you're going to fall back to 4G. Engadget's Chris Velazco also ran a 5G test in Chicago using the same Moto Z3 with a 5G Moto Mod attached to the phone on the bottom. Speeds went all the way up to nearly 600Mbps, which is almost four times faster than 4G LTE.https://twitter.com/chrisvelazco/status/1113826024717004803Velazco also mentioned in subsequent tweets that the connection is "very finicky," but he did manage to download the 1.81GB PUBG app in 4.5 minutes.If you live in Chicago or Minneapolis, the only way to get on 5G is to buy Verizon's only compatible phone. You guessed it, that's the Moto Z3 with the 5G Moto Mod. Or, you can wait a few more weeks to purchase Samsung's Galaxy S10 5G, which will be released soon.
