Irma Rapidly Intensifies into 100 mph Category 2 Atlantic Hurricane - The Weather Channel
http://bit.ly/2x9ezd1
Story Highlights
Irma has rapidly intensified into a hurricane in the eastern Atlantic. Additional strengthening is expected as Irma moves westward the next several days. Irma may approach the Leeward Islands by the middle of next week, though it's too early to tell how close. It remains far too soon to speculate on eventual potential U.S. impact. Irma has quickly intensified into the fourth hurricane of the 2017 season in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. For now, Irma presents no immediate threat to any land areas, but that is increasingly likely to change by next week. (HURRICANE CENTRAL: The Latest Coverage on Harvey) The center of Irma is located about 650 miles to the west of the Cabo Verde Islands and is moving west-northwest around 10 mph. Satellite imagery showed Irma with a pronounced eye Thursday, and maximum sustained winds had increased from 50 mph to 100 mph in just 24 hours ending late Thursday morning. National Hurricane Center forecaster Eric Blake said in an NHC discussion Irma slowed down a bit, allowing it to fester over warm water, likely leading to its rapid intensification. For the next five days, Irma will move westward and then turn west-southwest on the south side of a ridge of high pressure called the Bermuda high, which is centered in the central Atlantic. Irma will move through a portion of the Atlantic Ocean where upper-level winds are favorable for intensification the next few days. The National Hurricane Center expects Irma to strengthen into a powerful major hurricane (Category 3 or stronger) as soon as tonight, and could then become a Category 4 hurricane by this weekend. Irma will not reach the longitude of the Lesser Antilles (eastern Caribbean) until the middle of next week, but could be a formidably intense hurricane by that time. While it is still too soon to guarantee a direct strike, residents of the Lesser Antilles should follow the progress of Irma closely. It is much too soon to speculate on any potential U.S. threat late next week or the following weekend. That said, all interests in those areas should monitor the progress of Irma closely for many days to come. As Michael Lowry, UCAR scientist and FEMA task force lead notes, storms that become hurricanes near the Cabo Verde Islands often don't make a U.S. landfall, but when they do, they can be noteworthy. Check back with weather.com for updates on Irma through the weekend ahead for the very latest. We will be updating our coverage of Irma frequently based on the latest forecast guidance for its future track and intensity. This is the first time the name Irma has been used for an Atlantic tropical storm or hurricane. Irma replaced the name Irene after it was retired for the damage it caused in the Bahamas and the U.S. during the 2011 hurricane season. defendanimals.net,News,Pharmacy,defendanimals2 via animal rights http://bit.ly/2qOI4eV August 31, 2017 at 12:12PM

New 'Weather Atlas' App Has Been Designed for Apple's Upcoming iPhone 8
http://bit.ly/2gszYr6 Contrast and Agile Tortoise, the developers behind popular apps Launch Center Pro and Drafts, respectively, have teamed up to introduce a new weather app called Weather Atlas. Weather Atlas has been developed from the ground up with the unreleased "iPhone 8" in mind, and it is meant to take advantage of the device's taller display. It also incorporates iOS 11-style design elements like bolder text and crisp, simple icons, and bottom-focused app controls, so it'll fit right in on Apple's upcoming 2017 devices. The app has also been built to take advantage of all of the latest functionality in the iOS operating system, so it also supports features like Split View on the iPad Pro. Meant to offer up a wealth of information in a single glance, Weather Atlas features both hourly weather and 10-day forecasts overlaid on a map with standard radar and cloud layers so you can check the temperature and see weather patterns at the same time. The 10-day forecast features prospective highs and lows along with precipitation, wind speed, and sunrise and sunset. The hourly forecast for a single day displays the hourly temperature, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover along with precipitation. Multiple locations are supported, so you can see the weather across several cities, and there are built-in weather warnings for your location, along with notifications for severe weather. There's an option to see the weather patterns on the map over time, and tools for customizing the look of the app and sharing weather forecasts in other apps. Warning layers can be set to provide additional data on thunderstorms and tornados, wind, winter conditions like blizzard warnings, hurricanes, fire, floods, fog, and more. Weather Atlas is a free app and it is supported by ads, so there are some somewhat intrusive ads at the top of the app and when looking at a full 10-day weather forecast. Removing the ads requires a Pro account, priced at $0.49 per month or $4.99 per year. A Pro account includes support for different themes, extra widgets, improved maps, and of course, no ads. For the time being, Weather Atlas is only available in the United States, but it may expand to other countries in the future. Weather Atlas can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

Pixie Tracker Uses Apple's ARKit to Guide You Towards Lost Items in Augmented Reality
http://bit.ly/2x9VfvQ A collection of ARKit demos have steadily released over the summer following the announcement of the developer platform at WWDC this past June, and now we're merely weeks away from ARKit's debut alongside iOS 11 sometime in September. Today, item tracking company Pixie Technology announced the newest iteration of its "Pixie Point" tracker, which will use a few miniature-sized finding devices and ARKit to guide users to their lost items in augmented reality. The introduction of ARKit into Pixie follows the company's previous version of the Pixie Point, which originally used a combination of proximity-guiding menus and in-house augmented reality technology to discover lost items. Now, ARKit is being used to improve upon the previous technology with "one continuous AR experience," and Pixie Technology is calling the new tracker and iOS combination, "one of the first practical everyday apps using Apple’s ARKit in iOS 11." Instead of traditional sound-based Bluetooth trackers, Pixie uses visual data as well as audio cues to provide a more accurate position of a lost item. To use Pixie, users need to attach one of the Pixie Points to an included iPhone case (or use an included adhesive sticker to attach the Pixie Point to a different case), while the second Pixie Point is linked to items of importance. While indoors, users first perform a panorama room scan with the iOS Pixie app to discover a 3D avatar of their missing wallet, keys, or bag. The avatar will float over an augmented reality area of "Pixie Dust," related to the exact location of the lost item in the room, while the exact distance to the item (down to the amount of inches) will be overlayed on the app's user interface. As users get closer, the avatar grows in size, and once they're within five feet of the item the audio cues kick in from the Pixie Point on the lost item, further helping in rediscovery. With the help of ARKit, a Pixie Point can be seen through walls and furniture, which Pixie Technology noted will help finding lost items under cushions, in drawers, and in nearby rooms. The company also explained that the Pixie Point's reduced reliance on sound will help item discovery even in noisy environments. The new Pixie is a complete paradigm shift and leverages Apple’s ARKit, enhanced 3D motion tracking, powerful animation tools and patented signaling technology. As a result, it is:The trackers work outdoors as well with a range of 150 feet outside, and within 30-50 feet indoors. Each Pixie Point has a 12 month battery life (there is no discounted replacement program for dead trackers, akin to what Tile offers), are water and dust resistant to IP67 standards, and measure 47mm x 35mm x 3.2mm in size. Users interested can purchase Pixie today on the company's website and on Amazon, starting at $29.99 for a 2-pack, $54.99 for a 4-pack, and $104.99 for an 8-pack. The company confirmed that any Pixie pack purchased today will be compatible with the advanced ARKit features coming in September, and the Pixie app is expected to see an update alongside iOS 11 at that time.

Chinese Developers File Antitrust Complaint Against Apple for 'Monopolistic Behavior'
http://bit.ly/2vI4rY5 Lin Wei, an attorney with Dare & Sure Law Firm, filed the complaint this week and targeted Apple for removing apps from the App Store "without detailed explanation and charging excessive fees for in-app purchases." Wei said that Dare & Sure has spoken to different enterprises and received a "very strong response" from each, related to potential antitrust violations with Apple's App Store localization processes. The complaint accuses Apple of engaging in monopolistic behavior by removing apps from the App Store without detailed explanation and charging excessive fees for in-app purchases. The complaint also alleges Apple doesn’t give details on why apps are removed and puts local developers at a disadvantage by not responding to queries in Chinese.According to Reuters, the case dates back to April of this year, when Dare & Sure invited developers to join and ended up with the 28 in question who are now part of the official complaint made this week. The law firm filed the complaint with two organizations that handle antitrust matters: China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission. The details of what developers and which apps are involved in the complaint were not given, although an Apple spokeswoman mentioned in a brief comment to Reuters that app publishing remains consistent across all countries. There are some exceptions, however, when local laws force Apple to change its policies, most recently when the company pulled the majority of virtual private network apps from the App Store in China because of strict regulations in the country that require VPN apps to be authorized by the government. In addition, the Apple spokeswoman said that the company is currently working on expanding its local developer relations team to help bolster app development in the country. Apple has faced issues in the past within China, particularly related to controversial content it has sold on the iTunes and iBooks storefronts, but earlier this year Apple CEO Tim Cook reiterated on the company's plans to continue investing in the country, telling local media, "We're here to stay."

On PETA’s 37th Birthday: Rescues That We Will Never Forget
http://bit.ly/2wLmR7a August 21 marks PETA’s 37th birthday. Over the past three and a half decades, PETA has rescued countless animals from abusive situations. Here are just a few of the animals we will never forget, whose rescues were made possible by our millions of members and supporters: BillyBilly was rescued in the summer of 1981, after an eyewitness investigation inside the Institute for Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland, revealed that monkeys were subjected to debilitating surgeries in which their spinal nerves were severed, rendering one or more of their limbs useless. PETA gathered meticulous log notes and secretly photographed the crippled monkeys as well as their horrendous living conditions and took the evidence to the police. This groundbreaking investigation led to the nation’s first arrest and criminal conviction of an animal experimenter for cruelty to animals, the first confiscation of abused animals from a laboratory, and the first U.S. Supreme Court victory for animals used in experiments. FifiAfter spending three decades confined to a cramped cage at a defunct roadside zoo, elderly Fifi was frail and nearly crippled with arthritis. But once PETA rescued her and arranged for her to be transferred to the spacious Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado, she was like a new bear, splashing in the water and making a beeline for a tub full of fresh fruits and veggies. EdithEdith spent nearly a decade on a chain before PETA was able to persuade her owner to allow us to give her a better life. Today, she lives with the PETA fieldworker who visited her for years and gave her a doghouse, straw bedding, toys, treats, and—to Edith, most important of all—affection. KoaKoa was beaten so severely that, even with emergency treatment, surgeons had to remove one of his ears—and he nearly lost an eye as well. After weeks of intensive care donated by PETA, the little pig pulled through and was adopted by a kind family whose members shower him with love and gave him his name, which means “warrior” in Hawaiian. IrisIris’ previous “home” was a filthy, windowless cell, roughly the size of a walk-in closet, at a seedy roadside zoo in Georgia. Thanks to a generous PETA patron, Iris was rescued and relocated to the spacious, tropical Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida, where she immediately fell in love with another chimpanzee named Abdul, giving him a big hug and a kiss when they first met. NigelHoused in a cramped, filthy plastic crate at a decrepit roadside zoo, Nigel was picked up by the ears and thrown to a python for dinner. Luckily, the snake wasn’t hungry that day, and Nigel’s luck held as a PETA eyewitness arrived to rescue him. Today he lives in a loving home, where he often jumps for joy. IsaacAt the sham “sanctuary” in Florida where Isaac lived, animals often went without food for days at a time and were denied water, too—even when heat indices topped 100 degrees. In response to evidence gathered by PETA, the local sheriff seized nearly 200 animals, including Isaac, who now lives at a true sanctuary. Angie and BradAngie and Brad were among more than 400 chinchillas warehoused inside cramped cages at one of the largest chinchilla ranches in California. denied basic veterinary care, even for emergencies. Chinchillas who didn’t “work out” as “pets” were electrocuted and skinned so that their pelts could be turned into hats, scarves, coats, and blankets. When the farmers put the ranch up for sale and threatened to kill all the chinchillas if they didn’t find a buyer, a PETA donor put up the funds to rescue Angie, Brad, and all the others. JerryCrippled, nearly blind from an eye infection, and covered with lice, Jerry was rescued from a dairy farm just in the nick of time by a PETA investigator and retired to a spacious sanctuary for lots of long-overdue TLC. SunderSunder was still just a young elephant in 2007 when he was given to an Indian temple to be used for collecting money from villagers in exchange for “blessings.” His handler kept him tightly chained and beat him mercilessly. PETA India had to take his case to court before it could finally secure his freedom and get him moved to a lush sanctuary to live out his life with other elephants. Ruby
Ruby was adopted into a loving home after a PETA undercover investigation at Professional Laboratory and Research Services, Inc., got the workers indicted on felony cruelty-to-animals charges, the 250 dogs and cats at the facility surrendered, and the place shut down! Coming Home

Circus in temperatures that topped 100 degrees, until a PETA complaint resulted in her confiscation by the federal government. She was retired to a comfortable compound at the Baltimore Zoo, where she could play with a formerly lonely male polar bear. Pancake
Pancake lived in one filthy tank after another, and no one knew how to fulfill even the most basic of his turtle needs. A PETA staffer discovered Pancake’s appalling living conditions and had him sent to a sanctuary. Gracie
Gracie’s first owner bought her to feed to a snake, but Gracie was too big. A PETA staffer adopted her, and now sweet Gracie loves to go outside to play with her adopted rabbit sisters. Sheena

Apple Urged to Implement Feature That Sends an iPhone's Precise Location to Responders in Emergencies
http://bit.ly/2wLkRf7 EENA, short for the European Emergency Number Association, has called on Apple to integrate a solution called Advanced Mobile Location into iOS to improve the safety of iPhone users in emergency situations. Advanced Mobile Location recognizes when an emergency call is made and, if not already activated, activates a smartphone's GPS or Wi-Fi to collect the caller's precise location information. The handset then sends an automatic SMS to the emergency services with the caller's location, before turning the GPS off again. For months, EENA said it has tried to establish contact with Apple to work on a solution that automatically provides accurate location derived from iPhones to emergency services and rescuers, but with no result so far. Advanced Mobile Location is allegedly up to 4,000 times more accurate than current emergency systems, which rely on cell tower location with a radius of up to several miles, or assisted GPS, which can fail indoors. EENA lists several real scenarios where AML's location accuracy was within meters. Last year, Google implemented a new AML-based solution called Emergency Location Service into Google Play services that automatically works on Android smartphones running its Gingerbread operating system or newer. AML must also be supported by carriers. EENA said the service is fully operational in several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Estonia, Lithuania, Austria, Iceland, and New Zealand, on all mobile networks. Google said it never sees or handles the precise location obtained by its Emergency Location Service feature. Instead, it said the location is sent from the smartphone to emergency services only when a user explicitly places an emergency call, either directly or through their mobile network. EENA said AML has saved many lives by more accurately pinpointing a person's position. Accordingly, several minutes of time can be saved, according to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute: Ambulance Service measurements show that, on average, 30 seconds per call can be saved if a precise location is automatically provided, and several minutes can be saved where callers are unable to verbally describe their location due to stress, injury, language or simple unfamiliarity with an area.EENA said it recognizes the efforts of Apple to improve the safety of their customers. It acknowledged the SOS functionality of the Apple Watch, which can automatically send the location of a caller to a specified contact. However, it believes the location should be sent to emergency services and rescuers as well. Apple certainly cares about the safety of its customers, but it doesn't appear to have publicly provided a reason against integrating AML into iOS.
