World Cup qualifying: ‘Chronic Scotland prevail in Hampden head-wrecker’

0 CommentsSports

We wondered which version of Greece would turn up in Glasgow - the side that hammered Scotland 3-0 or the one that got hammered 3-0 by Denmark last time out. Emphatically, it was the latter, but football is about results. At the break, it was 0-0, a mercy for the Scots given that Greece had confused the life out of them with their movement. Scotland didn't know whether to press or not, such was Greece's ability to pop it about. Steve Clarke's side looked like a disorganised rabble just waiting to be put out of their misery.They had no attempt…

0 CommentsPolitics

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal auto safety regulators have opened yet another investigation into Tesla’s so-called full-self driving technology after dozens of incidents in which its vehicles ran red lights or drove on the wrong side of the road, sometimes crashing into other vehicles and injuring people. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a filing dated Tuesday that it has 58 incident reports of Tesla vehicles violating traffic safety laws while operating in full self-driving mode. In reports to regulators, many of the Tesla drivers said the cars gave them no warning about the unexpected behavior. READ MORE: Wall…

Black Is Beautiful: The Kwame Brathwaite Story – exhilarating record of game-changing photographer | Documentary films

0 CommentsCulture

There have been some fascinating documentaries about photographers: Tish Murtha; Martin Parr; Vivian Maier. Maybe the movie documentary form is something that naturally comes alive when showcasing particularly vivid still images. Here is another outstanding example, from writer-director Yemi Bamiro, about the remarkable career of Kwame Brathwaite, a photographer, musician and African American activist who was a unique politico-aesthete. With his brother Elombe, he virtually invented the phrase “Black Is Beautiful” in the 1960s by photographing the Grandassa Models in Harlem: young African American women who became the sensational template for beauty, doing away with the usual cosmetic products and…

Stoke Space’s $510M round shows the future of launch belongs to defense

0 CommentsTechnology

Stoke Space announced a massive capital raise on Wednesday that might seem, at first glance, like just another bet on the commercial launch market. The details tell a different story. Led by billionaire Thomas Tull’s U.S. Innovative Technology (USIT), a fund that explicitly invests in technologies tied to national security, the $510 million Series D round underscores a larger shift in the launch industry. The old assumption was the winners of launch would be the companies that capture the lion’s share of commercial payloads. While there is still demand on the commercial side from private constellation developers and for emerging…

Judge sets Nov. 14 deadline for new prosecutor in Georgia election case against Trump

0 CommentsPolitics

ATLANTA (AP) — A judge says that the agency tasked with finding a prosecutor to take over the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others can have a little more time, but not as much time as it wanted. What will happen to the case has been uncertain since Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from continuing the prosecution over an “appearance of impropriety” caused by a romantic relationship she had with a prosecutor she hired.
