Artists struggle to save Haiti museum after 2010 earthquake

[ad_1] Franck Louissaint sighed and frowned as he stepped onto his patio and flung aside shower curtains protecting a painting by a former voodoo priest who became a renowned Haitian artist. The painting from the 1960s once depicted a seemingly joyous voodoo spirit known as a loa, but it warped into something that looked like a three-dimensional satellite image of mountains after it was damaged by rubble and waterlogged when a 2010 earthquake hit the museum where it was displayed. "It's like the skin of a crocodile!" exclaimed Louissaint, an artist who expects seven more months of work to fully restore the painting by Robert Saint-Brice. It is one of dozens of well-known paintings that artists are still trying to rescue nearly a decade after the magnitude 7.0 quake killed an estimated 300,000 people or more and struck countless buildings, including the Museum of Haitian Art of St. Pierre College — one of the country's top institutions. More than 600 other watercolors ...

State of emergency declared in Wisconsin today after electrical fires

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard on Friday after two fires at electric substations. The city's utility, Madison Gas & Electric, said the fires had been contained but there were still some customers without power Friday night. No injuries were reported as a result of the 7:40 a.m. explosion and fire at the Madison Gas and Electric main power center a few blocks from the state Capitol, which was among the buildings that were forced to close. A second fire at a substation near the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a couple of miles to the west, prompted the evacuation of nearby buildings. No injuries were reported as a result of that blast, either. An executive order issued by Evers said the declaration was issued to "provide support during the large power outage that is exacerbated by the extreme heat wave affecting the area," CBS Madison affiliate WISC reported. The heat index value for Madison means tem...

North Korea slams Japan over its trade spat with Seoul, East Asia News & Top Stories

[ad_1] SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea's state media has slammed Japan for its recent trade restrictions against Seoul over wartime slavery disputes, accusing Tokyo of "destroying the trend of peace" on the Korean peninsula. After South Korea's high court ordered Japanese firms that used forced labour to compensate Korean victims, Tokyo earlier this month restricted the export of several chemicals to South Korea that are crucial to its world-leading chip and smartphone companies. South Korea's left-leaning President Moon Jae-in, who favours engagement with Pyongyang, has said Tokyo's actions are "politically motivated" and have caused an "unprecedented emergency" for Seoul's export-driven economy. North Korea has repeatedly warned the South to stop "meddling" in nuclear talks between Pyongyang and Washington, but sided with Seoul for its trade row with Tokyo. Japan is one of the most hawkish of the major powers on the nuclear-armed ...

Another Mixed Quarter For IBM

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] International Business Machines' (NYSE:IBM) second-quarter report was the last to not include any contribution from Red Hat. IBM closed its $34 billion acquisition of the open-source software company on July 9. Starting with the third quarter, Red Hat will provide IBM with a revenue boost. That extra revenue is much needed. IBM's sales tumbled more than expected in the second quarter, driven by currency, an aging mainframe product cycle, and weakness in the global technology services segment. Revenue grew in high-value areas, which helped to push up gross margin and earnings per share, but it wasn't enough to prevent another revenue decline. High-value growth IBM reported second-quarter revenue of $19.16 billion, down 4.2% year over year and $40 million below the average analyst estimate. Adjusted for currency, revenue would have only declined by 1.6%. Cloud revenue, which spans multiple reporting segments, was $19.5 billion over the past 12 months, up 5%...

R3 Taps Software Sales Vet to 'Evangelize' Paid Version of Corda

[ad_1] Blockchain technology company R3 has hired software sales veteran Cathy Minter as chief revenue officer, a role newly created to recruit users for the firm’s paid commercial product, Corda Enterprise. Minter, who lived through the revolution in cloud computing from its early days, sounded unfazed by reports this week stating the “blockchain not bitcoin” segment of the industry – which R3 once personified – can expect to see as much as a 60 percent decrease in investment flows this year.  She told CoinDesk: “I’m seeing huge demand for that at R3 so I’m not concerned; maybe some of our competitors should be concerned.” There are many projects graduating from the proof-of-concept to pilot stage that demonstrate the cost-saving potential of blockchain, Minter said, adding that R3 will be working to build specific return-on-investment analysis for customers. “I remember cloud computing in its early nascent days; ha...

Bitcoin Mining Helps Oil Companies Reduce Carbon Footprint

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] Natural gas acquired as a byproduct of oil extraction has become synonymous with wasted energy. In certain areas, drilling companies are unable to find a profitable market for the excess fuel. It’s often vented into the atmosphere. Startups are now offering on-site systems that utilize the surplus to mine cryptocurrencies. This new business is growing in regions where shale oil and gas extraction are major industries. Also read: Georgia Exempts Bitcoin From VAT to Become the Next Country to Affirm Its Currency Status Fossil Fuels Aren’t Going Anywhere At least for the foreseeable future, traditional energy sources such as oil and gas are here to stay.

However, despite these obvious advantages, getting them out of the ground can sometimes be a wasteful process. Electricity is the primary cost of bitcoin mining and ...

Marvel’s Avengers Comic-Con panel teases Ms. Marvel

[ad_1] Square Enix and developers from Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal gave Marvel fans a new look at their upcoming Avengers video game at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, and perhaps the biggest reveal was the appearance of Ms. Marvel (as Kamala Khan), who will play an unspecified role in Marvel’s Avengers . In an extended gameplay look at Marvel’s Avengers , featuring characters like Hulk and Black Widow battling bad guys like Taskmaster, Kamala Khan — wearing a Captain Marvel t-shirt, no less — appears as a bystander to the action. Khan watches the action unfold in San Francisco on “A-Day,” a celebration of the Avengers that goes horribly wrong, and flees amid the chaos. Fans have speculated that Kamala Khan is the narrator heard in the debut trailer for Marvel’s Avengers , in which she talks about meeting the heroes she idolizes while also lamenting, “We all lost something that day. But that’s not how this story ends....

Robyn Performs 'Between the Lines/Love is Free' Medley on 'Tonight Show': Watch

[ad_1] If you were having trouble falling asleep on Thursday night (July 18), Robyn was not there to help you. That's because the beloved Swedish dance pop icon turned The Tonight Show stage into her personal disco with a sweaty, sizzling medley of "Between The Lines" and "Love is Free." The set started off with "Lines," which appears on the singer's 2018 album Honey , with Robyn dressed in a white tank top and matching jeans, standing in the middle of a pair of giant white ceramic hands. As her band throbbed out the subtle beat behind her and the stage was bathed in a pattern of black and white light bars, Robyn slow-strutted to the song's increasingly animated groove. " Don't you stop/  (Don't stop what you're doing, baby)/  You know I like it/  You stretch it out/  (You know I like it)/  You give massages/  It's not your words/  (You know I like it)/  It's what's in-between them," she sang in a sensual voic...

ETH Struggles to Stay Above $200

[ad_1] The crypto market still seems to be in the clutches of bears as Bitcoin and leading altcoins like XRP and ETH are still resuming to trade downwards. In the last week, both the altcoins are witnessing quite turbulent prices where ETH has traded much below its major support levels such as $300 and $250. In fact today, the coin is even approaching lows below $200. Yesterday, XRP gave some positive signs when it maintained stability above $0.31 for quite a while.

Coinbase Quietly Pulls the Plug on Its Cryptocurrency Bundle Product

[ad_1] /latest/2019/07/coinbase-quietly-pulls-the-plug-on-its-cryptocurrency-bundle-product/ The San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has quietly pulled the plug on its Bundle product, which allowed users to buy a basket of cryptocurrencies with fiat. According to an update on its FAQ page, the cryptocurrency exchange “deprecated” the Coinbase Bundle product, and all assets in it have been “redistributed to their respective individual asset wallets.” The move, first spotted by Crypto Briefing, is believed to have been made because the product wasn’t a profitable one. Coinbase Bundle was launched back in September of last year to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency ecosystem, through a weighted basket of the cryptocurrencies the company then offered. This means users could use a small amount of fiat to buy bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, and ethereum classic at once. Per the exchange itself, the ...

India: Cryptocurrencies are not prohibited in India, says MoS for Finance and Corporate Affairs

[ad_1] The Indian cryptoverse lacks clarity on the government’s take on cryptocurrencies, after another alleged draft of the cryptocurrency bill circulated on social media. However, the community remained in good spirits and finally, found some relief after the Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Anurag Singh Thakur, responded to a few questions in Parliament. According to CoinCrunch, the MoS for Finance was asked whether cryptocurrencies in India are prohibited, to which the Minister said, “No.” Even though this seems like the bare minimum of a reply, it is a breath of fresh air for crypto-enthusiasts in the country who are being suffocated under the smog of negativity regarding cryptocurrencies. Thakur was asked several questions regarding the status of cryptos in the country in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the bicameral Parliament of India. Thakur said that the Government had taken notice of the prevalence of cryptocurrencies i...

Heat wave 2019: Record summer temperatures, climate change threaten economy

[ad_1] A brutally hot weekend has cities across the Midwest and East Coast bracing for potentially record-breaking temperatures. Two people have died, including a 32-year-old former NFL champion who succumbed to heat stroke in Arkansas. New York City has cancelled the OZY Fest and triathlon planned for this weekend and asked residents to keep their air conditioners set at 78 degrees in anticipation of power outages. Dozens of cities and towns have issued weather warnings or watches, reminding residents to avoid the sun, stay hydrated and utilize cooling centers for relief. Public health professionals and environmental activists have long warned about the effects of extremely hot summers.

Duterte foes cry foul as Philippine police push sedition charges, Asia News

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] MANILA - Opponents of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed shock and outrage on Friday at police moves to charge dozens of them with sedition, calling it persecution aimed at stamping out scrutiny of his increasingly powerful rule. Thirty-six opposition figures are accused of cyber libel and sedition for orchestrating a series of online videos ahead of May's mid-term elections. The videos feature a hooded man alleging that Duterte and his family members were involved in the illegal drugs trade, which they deny. The man, who had said he was a witness, later surrendered and appeared with police on television to say his claims were false and that he was cajoled into making the videos by opposition members. They included the vice president, lawyers, Catholic priests, a former attorney general, and incumbent and former lawmakers, the man said. The justice department is looking into the complaint, which is the latest move against Duterte's detractors who say the aim ...

Thai farmers on the cash trail with snail slime, SE Asia News & Top Stories

[ad_1] NAKHON NAYOK, Thailand (AFP) - Giant snails inch across a plate of pumpkin and cucumber in central Thailand, an "organic" diet to tease the prized collagen-rich mucus from the molluscs, which to some cosmetic firms are now more valuable than gold. The snails at Phatinisiri Thangkeaw's farm were once the scourge of rice farmers, loathed for eating the buds of new crops. "Farmers used to throw them on the road or in the rivers," Phatinisiri told AFP. "But now they sell them to me to earn extra money." With her 1,000 snails, the teacher makes an extra US$320 to US$650 (S$435 to S$884) a month. It is one of more than 80 farms in Nakhon Nayok province, two hours from the capital Bangkok, cashing in on the global snail beauty market, estimated at US$314 million, according to research group Coherent Market Insights. The precious slime is patiently "milked" from the glands of the snail by dripping water over it using a pipette. Its raw form is...

Apple Is Shifting Production Of One Of Its Hottest Products

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] Amid reports that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is looking to move 15% to 30% of iPhone production out of China due to President Trump's ongoing trade war, the company is already starting to shift production of other products out of the Middle Kingdom. While Trump's tariffs are impacting the Chinese economy -- the country just posted its lowest GDP growth in nearly three decades -- it was always clear that many jobs that might move out of China wouldn't be coming back to the U.S. Instead, that work is going to other nearby countries. Shifting to Vietnam The Nikkei Asian Review is reporting that Apple is preparing to commence trial production of AirPods -- the company's wildly popular wireless earphones that were updated in March -- in neighboring Vietnam. Contract manufacturer Goertek will start testing its production processes at a factory in Vietnam, according to the report. AirPods have historically been assembled in China by Goertek, In...

[ad_1] KPMG, a multinational accounting firm, is partnering with software firms TOMIA, Microsoft, and R3 to develop a blockchain for telecom settlements.
