Pot and Bad Science
Why? Because they decided that a real scientific study was needed pointing out that "Previous research studies on cannabis and driving have focussed largely on the effects of cannabinoids on driving performance. These studies have been almost exclusively experimental, involving laboratory tasks, driving simulator and on road 'real driving' experiments." In other words, science was, um, scientific, and real experience didn't count.
I found this most amusing: "There was a reduction of average speed on the motorway when participants had the high or low doses of cannabis. This confirms the results from many previous studies. It strongly suggests that the participants as drivers are aware of their impairment, but attempt to compensate by driving more cautiously." The underlining is my addition.
Now, I am no expert on driving while stoned but my first experience of being a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who was stoned was in 1968. Let's call the driver Randy (because that is his name). First, the vehicle was a 1965 Corvette. But, more important, I had never seen Randy do anything with caution. He was more "out on the edge" of anyone I had met in my life.
We had been at a party. I had been drinking alcohol but not smoking pot. Randy had been doing both but, as the drinking had mostly been early in the evening, I suspect most of the effects of the alcohol (on both of us) had pretty much worn off. On the trip home Randy was driving at maybe 25 mph in an area with a 45 mph speed limit. On the way to the party he had been driving at more like 60 mph.
I (possibly naively) asked him why he was driving so slowly. He explained that things were interesting. He talked about seeing the stars. While stopped at a traffic light he talked about all the interesting lights he could see. No halucinations—he was just talking about the streetlights, lights on houses and such.
My conclusion here is that while scientific studies may tell you what you need to investigate, real-world experience is a lot more useful. And, well, if you have seen Randy recently, tell me how he is doing.

John Travolta Dares to Go Bare With New Balding 'Do
The true state of John Travolta's hair has long been the subject of speculation, but the actor has finally ended the guessing, choosing to reveal his balding head on a recent vacation with his wife and children.
Travolta, who regularly sports a full head of hair, which many attribute to the use of hair plugs or wigs, debuted a receding hairline while lounging on the beach in Hawaii with his daughter, Ella, and wife Kelly Preston.
Perhaps it's the pressure of new fatherhood that's keeping the star from his usual grooming routine. Travolta and Preston welcomed son Benjamin in late November, just two years after the tragic loss of their son Jett, who died from a seizure in 2009 while on a family vacation in the Bahamas.
Despite the actor's two-year hiatus from the big screen following his son's death, Travolta is gearing up for a return to work.
"I've taken two years off, and I am glad I did, and now I'm ready to go back," he said. "I needed to take a break, for many reasons. Probably by fall, you'll see me on the big screen again."

NECP surrenders pharmacy business license to board
MANCHESTER — The New England Compounding Pharmacy, a Massachusetts firm that produced medicines blamed for serious illness in eight New Hampshire residents, has surrendered its license to do business in the state.
The state Board of Pharmacy issued an emergency suspension of the license on Oct. 8 and this week approved the surrender of the NECC license.
The company shipped three tainted batches of a steroid used to reduce back and joint pain. Seven New Hampshire residents have developed fungal meningitis after receiving back injections and another has been reported with a joint infection.
The suspension covers NECC's right to operate as a mail-order pharmacy in New Hampshire. Assistant Attorney General Sarah Blodgett said the state has no information that NECC was selling prescription drugs direct to consumers through the mail. The only known user of the tainted produce produced at NECC's compounding laboratory was PainClinic LLC, a multi-office pain-management practice based in Somersworth.

Stanford video takes not-so-subtle shot at USC
- Updated: February 23, 2012
And we like that
Making a list of differences between USC and Stanford could take a while before we even get to the way they conduct on the football field and sidelines. USC has a certain swagger, an edge or cool factor. They're USC, and they are not afraid to let everyone know about it. Or so that is how it comes off at times, especially when USC is at the top of their game (which may be the case in 2012). But when it comes to college football supremacy in the state of California the last couple years there is no doubt that it has been Stanford on top of the heap.
Stanford has reached two straight BCS bowl games for the first time in program history, and now the Cardinal are starting to feel confident in their own abilities and developing their own bit of swagger. Andrew Luck and Toby Gerhart have set the tone for the program, as well as former coach Jim Harbaugh. So who will be the next player to carry the banner for Stanford? Whoever it may be, Stanford will continue to do things their own way. This video attempts to drive home that point, opening with a contrast between the way USC and Stanford differ in responses to a touchdown.
Ya dig?

Articles tagged "CHFF Intelligence Index"
Intelligence Index Proves Smart Teams are Smart Bets
The Cold, Hard Football Facts Intelligence Index debuted last season and quickly proved one thing: smart teams are smart bets. Conversely, dumb teams are dumb bets.
Sad-Sack Houston Texans: The Dumbest Team In Football
The disappointing Houston Texans have the biggest muscles and the smallest brain in the NFL this year. They consistently win the physical battles, but lose the mental battles. As a result, they're 2-10 overall, 3-9 against the spread, and No. 32 and dead last on the powerful CHFF Intelligence Index.
Trifecta, King Of Props Power Week 13 Results
Peyton Manning is dabbling with a .700 completion percentage this year, while the King of Props and the Intelligence Index are each dabbling with .700 seasons, rarified air for gamblers, for CHFF Insiders. The Trifecta also posted a big week, while our Real and Spectacular picks floundered.
Week 12 Intelligence Index: Pair Of Slam Dunks And One Sleeper
Wise football fans know the CHFF Intelligence Index is a smart .636 against the number so far this year. Professor of Pigskin Colonel Comey feels great about upping that percentage with a pair of no-brainer selections and one sleeper pick this week.
Week 8 In Review: Smart Teams Power Our Picks
Our Mental Mismatches continue to be the biggest winners in our portfolio; elsewhere, the King of Props suffered just his second losing week of 2013; the Trifecta posted its second straight winning week; and our Real and Spectacular Picks fall short of the hype and the history.
Mental Mismatches A Smart Bet Against The Spread
The Intelligence Index is a powerful way to consistently win games straight up and ATS. Unbeaten Kansas City is the NFL's smartest team; winless Jacksonville is the dumbest. The "smart" teams in our 16 Mental Mismatches this year have won by an average of 16 PPG.
Dumb Houston Texans Blown Out As Mental Mismatches Remain Perfect
The dumb Houston Texans were crushed 34-3 by the smart San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, providing yet another blowout victory for the CHFF Intelligence Index. Smart teams in our Mental Mismatches are 8-0 straight up and ATS and have won by an average of 24 PPG.

Is there a way to check if the user is using a tablet or a phone? I've got problems with my tilt function and my new tablet (Transformer)
As it has been mentioned before, you do not want to check whether the device is a tablet or a phone but you want to know about the features of the device,
Most of the time, the difference between a tablet and a phone is the screen size which is why you want to use different layout files. These files are stored in the
Now the screen type is accessible via the
To detect whether or not the device is a tablet use the following code:
LARGE and XLARGE Screen Sizes are determined by the manufacturer based on the distance from the eye they are to be used at (thus the idea of a tablet).
More info : http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/d6323d81f226f93f
This post helped me a lot,
Unfortunately I don't have the reputation necessary to evaluate all the answers that helped me.
I needed to identify if my device was a tablet or a phone, with that I would be able to implement the logic of the screen. And in my analysis the tablet must be more than 7 inches (Xlarge) starting at MDPI.
Here's the code below, which was created based on this post.
Why not calculate the size of the screen diagonal and use that to make the decision whether the device is a phone or tablet?
Of course one can argue whether the threshold should be 9 inches or less.
there is no difference. You should define what you think is the difference, and check for that. Is a galaxy tab a phone? or a tablet? and why?
You should define what specific features you are looking for, and code for that.
It seems you are looking for 'tilt'. I think this is the same as the accelerometer (is that a word?). You can just check if the device supports it, using:
(from http://stuffthathappens.com/blog/2009/03/15/android-accelerometer/ . i have not tested it)
Based on Robert Dale Johnson III and Helton Isac I came up with this code Hope this is useful
So in your code make a filter like
My assumption is that when you define 'Mobile/Phone' you wish to know whether you can make a phone call on the device which cannot be done on something that would be defined as a 'Tablet'. The way to verify this is below. If you wish to know something based on sensors, screen size, etc then this is really a different question.
Also, while using screen resolution, or the resource managements large vs xlarge, may have been a valid approach in the past new 'Mobile' devices are now coming with such large screens and high resolutions that they are blurring this line while if you really wish to know phone call vs no phone call capability the below is 'best'.
Use this method which returns true when the device is a tablet
For those who want to refer to Google's code of deciding which devices will use a Tablet UI can refer to below:
Please check out below code.
Thinking on the "new" acepted directories (values-sw600dp for example) i created this method based on the screen' width DP:
And on this list you can find some of the DP of popular devices and tablet sizes:
Wdp / Hdp
GALAXY Nexus: 360 / 567
Wdp = Width dp
E.g. have one important difference (at least for my program) between the phone and tablet. It is the default orientation of the device. Phone has a portrait orientation, the tablet - landscape. And respectively method to determine the device:
EDITED: Following the discussions with Dan Hulme changed the name of the method.
Well, the best solution that worked for me is quite simple:
Used like this:
I really don't want to look at the pixels sizes but only rely on the screen size.
Works well as Nexus 7 (LARGE) is detected as a tablet, but not Galaxy S3 (NORMAL).
This method is a recommend by Google. I see this code in Google Offical Android App
I think a tablet has a min and max 600 px width and height,
I know this is not directly an answer to your question, but other answers here give a good idea of how to identify screen size. You wrote in your question that you got problems with the tilting and this just happened to me as well.
If you run the gyroscope (or rotation sensor) on a smartphone the x- and y-axis can be differently defined than on a tablet, according to the default orientation of that device (e.g. Samsung GS2 is default portrait, Samsung GT-7310 is default landscape, new Google Nexus 7 is default portrait, although it is a tablet!).
Now if you want to use Gyroscope you might end up with a working solution for smartphones, but axis-confusion on some tablets or the other way round.
If you use one of the solutions from above to only go for screen-size and then apply
to flip the axis if it has a large or xlarge screen-size this might work in 90% of the cases but for example on the Nexus 7 it will cause troubles (because it has default portrait orientation and a large screen-size).
The simplest way to fix this is provided in the RotationVectorSample that ships with the API demos by setting the sceenOrientation to
This is the method that i use :
If you want to make application in different resolution, you can create different layouts for different density.
I think this is the easiest way to be honest. This will check the screen size that's being used:
Best of luck!
I run both forgivegod & Volker Voecking's snippest on Motorola XOOM. The screenDiagonal on XOOM is 8.9, not the exactly result I expected. Due to so many size of android tablet, so hard to define it's tablet or phone just by the screenDiagonal.
Therefore I think forgivegod's solution could be more consistent on most android devices out there.
The smart solution is to create WebView and get User-Agent from him. Then check if he contain "Mobile".
I'm recommend android library 'caffeine' That's contain get Phone or tablet, and 10inch~!
very easy use.
the library is here.
and use
Following code worked for me absolutely as expected, regardless of the screensize and density of the devices.

November 28, 2014
Posted Tuesday, February 18, 2014 --- 9:31 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report shows that while the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board issued different penalties for the same offenses, doctors most often received the lightest punishment -- a reprimand.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports the board rarely revoked doctors' licenses from 2003 to 2013.
The report issued Monday came partly in response to a newspaper investigation that found Wisconsin is among the worst states for doctor discipline with a heavy reliance on reprimands even in cases involving serious harm or death.
The board has a range of disciplinary options, including reprimands, suspensions or revocation of licenses.
Dr. Ken Simons is the chairman of the medical board's disciplinary guidelines committee, which requested the report. He has said it will help the committee determine whether its actions are uniform and fair.

FEMA money to fund new animal control facility
The Federal Emergency Management Agency says nearly $8 million in consolidated funding has been set aside for the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, allowing the private, nonprofit to construct their new animal control facility on higher ground.
The Louisiana SPCA's facility, which provided care and basic medical services for homeless animals, after Hurricane Katrina sustained significant damage from both wind and floodwaters.
FEMA officials said Monday that through its grant, the SPCA will build a new facility near the bank of the Mississippi River on higher ground, making it less vulnerable to future flooding.

The RadeonHD Driver Would Be Three Today
Published on 17 September 2010 03:03 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
9 Comments
Three years ago from today marked
the introduction of the RadeonHD driver
, the first open-source X.Org driver for the ATI Radeon X1000 (R500) and Radeon HD 2000 (R600) series graphics cards. This driver came as part of
AMD's open-source strategy
(the strategy's third birthday was
celebrated earlier this month
) and with loads of public documentation for their ATI graphics processors. The RadeonHD driver was developed by Novell's X team from Nürnberg with support from AMD, but sadly it will not be celebrating its third birthday today since
the RadeonHD driver was killed off
Support for the R500/600 GPUs later came to the xf86-video-ati X.Org driver via implementing AtomBIOS rather than the xf86-video-radeonhd driver's hard-coded setup. AtomBIOS was also used later within the Radeon kernel mode-setting driver for the Linux kernel. It is the xf86-video-ati DDX and Radeon KMS driver that has succeeded the RadeonHD driver with its support now for all GPUs from the R100 series through the most recent Radeon HD 5000 "Evergreen" series and soon enough will be the AMD Radeon HD 6000 series support once launched.
While the RadeonHD driver may no longer be worked on nor is there any communication going back and forth between AMD and Novell (well, soon to be VMware) in terms of open-source driver development, according to our
initial 2010 Linux Graphics Survey results
, there still are a number of users continuing to use this open-source ATI driver.
On a related note, congratulations to John Bridgman of AMD on becoming
the number one contributor to the Phoronix Forums
with more than 5,100 posts since the launch of the RadeonHD driver three years ago.

New Zealand manufacturers, having already been savaged by the high level of the currency this year, are likely to get no relief after the United States Federal Reserve committed to pumping further stimulus into the US economy.
Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke yesterday promised to buy US$45 billion (NZ$53.3b) of US government bonds a month until the unemployment rate dropped from the current 7.7 per cent to 6.5 per cent.
The announcement, which effectively amounted to a promise to print money for at least another two years, comes on top of the US$40b a month the Fed is spending on mortgage-backed securities.
The news saw the New Zealand dollar surge up through US84 cents, a level last seen in March, promoting some commentators to speculate that further gains are in store.
Westpac currency strategist Imre Speizer sees the kiwi hitting US86c by June next year, a level matched by the ASB Kiwi Dollar Barometer, a quarterly survey which tracks currency expectations among major imports and exporters.
That's predominantly due to the outright weakness in the greenback and the relative yield advantage of investing in New Zealand, where the official interest rate is 2.5 per cent compared with effectively zero in much of the developed world.
And while that may be a boon for importers, giving them flexibility to cut the ticket prices on goods such as televisions and cars, for export manufacturers it is another blow to their already fragile bottom lines.
John Walley, head of the New Zealand Manufacturers & Exporters Association, said a New Zealand currency in the high US80c range was "nuts" and exporters were seeing their revenues fall faster than their margins.
The New Zealand dollar has gained 12.6 per cent over the past 12 months, up from US74.94c this time last year.
Businesses such as Carter Holt Harvey have already seen the effects of this, with declining demand for New Zealand cut timber forcing them to announce layoffs.
"While settings persist at this level the people I speak to are saying, 'I'm just not going to invest in my businesses'," Walley said.
He is calling on the Government to widen the powers of the Reserve Bank from a simple interest rate level to give the central bank more tools to cool the currency, adding he thinks Government's view of the economy is far too optimistic.
At this stage the malaise seems to be constrained to pure export businesses that sell into the wider international market.
The dairy sector, for example, is supported by robust demand for protein in China, and exporters who sell into Australia are also insulated by the high Australian dollar.
But the deteriorating interest rate outlook across the Tasman could see the currency headwinds spreading across the sector.
Mike Jones, a market strategist at BNZ, sees the kiwi/aussie cross rate heading back above 80 Australian cents as the Reserve Bank of Australia continues to cut interest rates next year and the RBNZ starts its tightening bias towards 2014.
"The last hiding place in the kiwi dollar is starting to be snuffed out," he said.
Not everyone in the market is as pessimistic about the currency.
Phil O'Reilly, head of BusinessNZ, said many of the firms he spoke to recognised the high exchange rate as a hurdle they had no direct influence over, and were finding ways of working around this.
"What I tend to see these days is not 'the dollar is a problem and Government should solve it'. Well, I get some of that, but I generally get 'the dollar is a problem but this is how I intend to solve it'."
He said many exporters, such as whiteware manufacturer Fisher & Paykel Appliances - now owned by Chinese parent Haier - were hedging indirectly by pushing some of their manufacturing overseas and developing the "brand equity" of their products.
Additionally, some firms were starting to denominate their overseas contracts in non-US dollar terms, which can potentially reduce volatility.
However, he conceded that legacy businesses were limited in their use of these strategies, and a lack of experience and New Zealand's position on the very edge of the global supply chains were still a challenge. Despite this he believe the high kiwi was not a portent of business doom.

Michael Francis - Woman
Artist: Michael Francis
Producer: Cito On The Beat
Album: Cold Heart Chronicles LP
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 7 votes )
An R&B track titled Woman conjures up ideas of a man longingly singing to his love interest and showering her with compliments. Michael Francis' latest record is certainly a complimentary examination of the female form – but not quite what you might expect. This "panty-dropper" ballad morphs into a provocative jaw-dropper as Francis instigates a ménage à trois with his girlfriend and…the girl he's brought home. This sexual fantasy is all from Francis' point of view, and he calls on his girlfriend to share in the pleasure of the female body: "Come and share my world, my vision…You're gonna love a woman tonight / just like me." Francis dictates in effortless crooning move-by-move instructions for the women. The hard drums and breathy synth effects, thanks to producer Cito On The Beat, offer a heavy, passionate tone appropriate for the occasion. This release is a great sign of the heat to grace Francis' Cold Heart Chronicles LP, to be released October 31.

Judge Eaton's historical home prepares for opening
More than 10 years after Judge Richard Eaton's death, the museum he specified in his will is about to open.
The Behrens-Eaton Museum, one of the oldest homes in Shasta County, stands at 1520 West Street in Downtown Redding.
The Victorian-style home was built in 1895 by John Scott; it was purchased three years later in 1898 by then Shasta County Sheriff Charles Behrens, grandfather of Judge Richard Eaton.
The Behrens-Eaton family stayed in the home until Judge Richard Eaton's death in 2003.
Judge Eaton left behind a will, stating specifically that he wanted to show future generations what a family home of that era looked like.
That's exactly what happened.
"We would hope [the museum will open] within a month at least, unless we hit some unexpected snags," said docent and supporter Joyce Morrow.
The process to build the museum has taken this long because only donations and money gained from the interest garnered on Eaton's estate can be used for the restoration.
Only the bottom floor will be opened up to the public, but as soon as the funds are available renovation will take place in the four bedrooms upstairs.
Morrow said, "The city has to give their final approval, but we're checking things off bit by bit."
Another perk; admission will be free.
Judge Eaton specified in his will that there should be no admission fee.
If maintenance costs should rise, however, there is a backup plan.
"There is a provision in the will if it becomes necessary," said Morrow. "But the dictates say a free museum."
Free admission can mean unwanted guests, and in this case, unwanted guests in a historical home with irreplaceable items.
Morrow didn't seem too worried.
"We plan to have enough docents that we follow people around."
The Behrens-Eaton Museum is selling memberships; bricks on the sidewalk are also available for $50.

A self-portrait by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641), one of his finest and most intimate works dating from his time in the UK, has had a temporary export bar placed on it to provide a last chance to raise the £12,500,000 needed to keep it in the UK.
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey took the decision to defer granting an export licence for the painting following a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), administered by Arts Council England, on the grounds of its strong connection with our history and national life, its outstanding aesthetic importance and its outstanding significance for the study of seventeenth-century portraiture.Van Dyck played a pivotal role in the development of portraiture in Britain during the time he spent here (1620-21, 1632-35, 1635-41), and was held in high regard by King Charles I who awarded him a knighthood, a home and an annuity in 1632. Although Van Dyck produced a number of self-portraits during his career, this example is widely regarded as one of the finest and is acknowledged as being a source of inspiration to other artists. Comparisons with other self-portraits of the period immediately highlight the ingenuity and technical accomplishment of this work.Culture Minister Ed Vaizey said:"We have recently had a number of successes in preventing national treasures from being permanently exported from the UK thanks to the generosity of donors and the fundraising efforts of our museums and galleries. I hope that placing a temporary export bar on this magnificent painting will allow time for a UK buyer to come forward and ensure it remains here in the UK."RCEWA Member Lowell Libson said:"This portrait is a profoundly personal and impressive demonstration of Van Dyck's confidence as a painter and with his deft manipulation of paint he created the illusion that the viewer is encountering the subject directly. Van Dyck's self-portrait is a notable expression of the talents and character which catapulted him to fame in the Courts of Europe."The decision on the export licence application for the painting will be deferred for a period ending on 13th February 2014 inclusive. This period may be extended until 13th July 2014 inclusive if a serious intention to raise funds to purchase the painting is made at the recommended price of £12,500,000 (plus 5% import VAT).
1. Organisations or individuals interested in purchasing the painting should contact the RCEWA on 0845 300 6200.2. The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest is an independent body, serviced by Arts Council England, which advises the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on whether a cultural object, intended for export, is of national importance under specified criteria. 3. Arts Council England champions, develops and invests in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people's lives. Between 2010 and 2015, it will invest £1.9 billion of public money from government and an estimated £1.1 billion from the National Lottery to help create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country. www.artscouncil.org.uk

Culture Minister Ed Vaizey has placed a temporary export bar on a rare Italian painting by Giovanni da Rimini from the early 14th century 'Left Wing of a Diptych with Episodes from the Lives of the Virgin and other Saints.' It will be exported overseas unless money can be found to match the asking price of £5,682,500.
A major painting by Britain's greatest and best-known landscape painter, John Constable R. A., has been accepted by the nation through the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme and permanently allocated to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Today Arts Council England announces the four organisations that have been successful in the latest round of Strategic Touring Programme, receiving a total of £272,367.

Northern Territory Contiki
12 Oct 2014 - 22 Oct 2014
This contiki was amazing! Such a great experience! I met some incredible people and saw so many beautiful parts of Australia. Definitely the best time of my life!
Review written Oct 2014event 0.3
Great tour, beautiful sights!
22 Jul 2012 - 01 Aug 2012
Had a great time and met lots of great people! We went as a couple but decided to go with quad share which was great because it gave us a chance to get to know everyone.
Some seriously early mornings, and late late nights (including a contiki engagement party!) And lots of snoozing on the coach. But it was all worth the lack of sleep!
A couple of the accommodation choices were a tad poor but it was probably the most affordable in such expensive places. Other than that the accommodation was good.
Our tour manager was on the ball and was great at making sure we didn't miss a thing, and our coach driver was one of the best blokes! (thanks for pulling out my suitcase from under all the other luggage that day Youngy!)
Got to see everything we wanted to and more, and at a much cheaper price than if we had have travelled by ourselves.
Our highlights were the sunset at Ubirr, and Ayers Rock at sunset (it did not disappoint!)
We definitely recommend it for anyone that wants squeeze in everything the NT has to offer into a short trip and on a budget.
Looking at booking our next contiki adventure a little farther from home this time, c'mon Europe!!

Let it not be said that Ab-Soul shies away from controversy. On his latest feature, the Top Dawg Entertainment signee combines two of the most provocative topics in recent memory—cop killer Christopher Dorner and the US government's penchant for drone strikes—into one dystopian banger titled Christopher DRONEr. The West Coast spitter's incendiary bars receive an appropriately bracing instrumental backdrop courtesy of Digi+Phonics beatsmith Willie B., who layers tubular bells over trap percussion and throws in a variety of unsettling vocal samples for good measure. In the cut's closing bars, Ab borrows Kanye's flow from the so-called "best rap verse of all time," spitting, "I bought Alexander Wang, after I heard New Slaves." This joint is slated to appear on an untitled project, scheduled for release "soon." Keep it locked to the Booth for further details, along with all the latest singles.

It's an uninhabited patch of real estate at the top of the world that has several countries vying for the right to call it theirs. What's so special about the North Pole? Trace explains.
Demonstrations in Hong Kong have sprung up over recent electoral changes announced by the Chinese government. Trace explains what near- and long-term issues have motivated protesters to take to the streets.
