| ‘Day Without a Woman’ strike seeks to continue legacy of massive D.C. march Posted: 08 Mar 2017 06:06 AM PST  This "general strike" action, held in connection with International Women's Day and in solidarity with the International Women's Strike, has been criticized by some U.S. movement supporters for asking women to risk their jobs in a nation where only 10.2 percent of women are in unions. "Protesting itself is not enough, which is why we stepped to the next level of asking people to sacrifice, you know, being a part of the strike," Tamika Mallory, co-chair of the Women's March organization, said in a video posted to Facebook.

| ‘That energy is still here’: New Yorkers rally for ‘A Day Without a Woman’ strike Posted: 08 Mar 2017 02:53 PM PST  With the Plaza Hotel, which President Trump once owned, as a backdrop, a crowd gathered at the southeast corner of Central Park on Wednesday afternoon as part of the "A Day Without a Woman" strike. Set to coincide with International Women's Day, the protest was organized by the same team behind January's Women's March on Washington, a massive Saturday protest that coincided with many sister marches across the country and ultimately became the largest single-day demonstration in United States history. Wednesday's gathering was promoted as "a show of solidarity and revolutionary love," ahead of another rally in Manhattan's Washington Square Park on Wednesday evening, and the crowd, overwhelmingly female but otherwise diverse, was appropriately buoyant.

| China to launch lunar space probe before year's end Posted: 07 Mar 2017 09:32 PM PST ![China to launch lunar space probe before year's end]( "China to launch lunar space probe before year's end") China announced plans on Tuesday to launch a space probe to bring back samples from the moon before the end of the year, in what state media cast as competition to U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions to revitalise U.S. space exploration. The Chang'e-5 lunar probe is undergoing a final round of tests and is expected to be on standby for launch from August, the official People's Daily said, citing the China National Space Administration. The launch will involve new challenges for China in sample collection, taking off from the moon and high-speed reentry to the Earth's atmosphere, making it "one of China's most complicated and difficult space missions", Hu Hao, an official from China's Lunar Exploration Programme, told the paper.

| Rhino killed for its horn inside French zoo; rare old African elephant killed too Posted: 08 Mar 2017 09:05 AM PST  Animal stories can't always be about exciting whale videos or pregnant giraffes. Sometimes, reality has to rear its ugly head. After all, iconic species like rhinos and elephants are increasingly threatened by poaching and habitat loss in the wild. This week, poachers in Europe and Africa made two particularly notable kills in what should've been safe spaces for wildlife. SEE ALSO: This national park tracked down rhino poachers thanks to a selfie Just outside Paris, assailants broke into the wildlife park at Thoiry Zoo overnight. They shot Vince, a 4-year-old white rhinoceros, three times in the head before using a chain saw to remove its horn, Thierry Duguet, the zoo's director, told the Associated Press on Tuesday. Bruno, left, and Gracie: two rhinoceroses at the Thoiry Zoo where a rhinoceros named Vince was killed. Image: AP/REX/Shutterstock Rhino horns are extremely valuable, and can be sold for up to 40,000 euros, or about $42,200, on the black market, the Le Parisien newspaper reported. Some cultures believe the horns have aphrodisiac powers or medicinal benefits. Elephant tusks are similarly coveted around the world, despite global efforts to halt the illegal flow of ivory. On Monday, poachers killed one of Africa's oldest and largest elephants in a Kenyan national park. The killing illustrates the peril that elephants face due to the ivory trade. Satao II, believed to have been about 50-years-old, belonged to a dwindling group of giant "tuskers." Their ivory teeth are so long they nearly scrape the ground, and only about 25 of these tuskers remain in the world, Richard Moller of the Tsavo Trust told AFP this week. A male African "tusker" elephant in Kenya. Image: Eye Ubiquitous/REX/Shutterstock "They are icons, they are ambassadors for elephants," he said. It's still unclear how poachers killed the elephant, though they may have shot it with a poisoned arrow. The tusker was roaming in the Tsavo National Park near Nairobi when he died. Kenyan authorities apprehended two poachers believed to be responsible for the elephant's killing. In Paris, however, police are still investigating the brazen rhino killing, and the suspects remain at large, AP reported.

"Material programing reductions and staffing cuts, while necessary to keep the state's public universities operational in the short-term, will further impair the universities' abilities to sustain their strategic competitiveness and attract students for the upcoming fall 2017 class," Moody's said in a report.

| Hawaiian island gets a huge renewable energy boost thanks to Tesla Posted: 08 Mar 2017 03:43 PM PST  A Hawaiian island is one step closer to getting 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. Tesla, the clean energy powerhouse run by Elon Musk, has built a 13-megawatt solar farm on Kauai to help reduce the island's dependence on diesel-burning power plants. Unveiled on Wednesday, the Kapaia project features 54,000 solar panels. But that's not what makes it so unique. SEE ALSO: Looking for hope on climate change under Trump? Cities are where the action is. Perhaps most importantly, it includes over 270 of Tesla's Powerpack batteries, which will store some of the solar power created during the day and supply those electrons to the grid in the evening. The project — the largest of its kind — is expected to displace about 1.6 million gallons of diesel per year, Tesla said in an email. Energy experts say storage is essential for making renewables competitive with fossil fuels. Unlike coal and natural gas plants, which operate on command, solar and wind farms operate intermittently and at different hours. Batteries could also help utilities to harness the collective power of thousands of rooftop solar systems. With "virtual power plants," utilities can digitally aggregate solar-battery systems in an area to utilize their power all at once, simulating the flow from a singular power plant. Tesla's Kapaia project features 272 Powerwall batteries. Image: Tesla Across the Hawaiian islands, utilities are required to get 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2045 — the most ambitious Renewable Portfolio Standard of any U.S. state. Kauai's main utility says it is well on its way to meeting that target thanks to a growing number of solar, small-scale hydropower and biomass projects. Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) is the lone purchaser of power from Tesla's solar-battery system on the island. The arrangement marks the first time a U.S. utility has contracted out a system that stores and releases solar power after sunset. Before this week, KIUC could operate using 100 percent of renewables, but only during occasional mid-day periods of high solar generation. The Kapaia project will allow the utility to operate at 100 percent renewables more often, and with greater stability, in the middle of the day, Tesla said. Tesla's Powerpack batteries in Kauai were made at its $5 billion Gigafactory in Nevada. WATCH: Elon Musk's $2.6 billion bet on a clean energy empire

| New leak shows how incredible Samsung’s Galaxy S8 design really is Posted: 09 Mar 2017 07:30 AM PST 
Less than three weeks from today, Samsung's hotly anticipated Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will be official. The company plans to unveil its next-generation flagship smartphones at a special press conference in New York City on March 29th, and Android fans couldn't be more excited. Of course, it won't really be an unveiling in the traditional sense of the word — BGR already took care of that with a recent exclusive, and we've seen the upcoming new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ plenty of times since then. It will still be a relief to see the new phones shown off on stage in an official capacity though, because it will mean that we're one big step closer to their upcoming release. Leaks and rumors will continue to flow right up until Samsung announces the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ three weeks from now, and the latest leak sheds some new light on just how incredible Samsung's Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ designs truly are. The Galaxy S6 was the first Samsung smartphones that featured a premium design to match its top-notch display and performance, as well as its flagship price tag. Earlier high-end smartphones from the South Korean giant had been made of thin plastics that looked and felt cheap compared to other premium smartphones like the iPhone. The Galaxy S7 further refined Samsung's S6 design, but the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will take things to a whole new level. As we saw in a series of photos exclusively published by BGR, the Galaxy S8 sports a bold new design that removes the oblong home button from beneath the screen and squeezes the ear speaker and sensors closer together above the screen. As a result, Samsung was able to substantially shrink the size of the bezels above and below its Super AMOLED displays. Couple that with curved sides that already feature almost no bezels, and you've got phones that comes closer than ever to realizing the all-screen design users have been clamoring for. Of course, the benefit here isn't just the look of the phones. A new leak posted to Slashleaks shows how the size of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ compares to other phones, and it's pretty shocking. Take a look: 
As we can see in the leaked renders, which are believed to be based on genuine schematics leaked from the factories that are building Samsung's next-generation flagship phones, the S8 and S8+ designs are incredible. On the smaller Galaxy S8, Samsung has managed to squeeze a 5.8-inch display into a phone that is roughly the same width and just slightly taller than the iPhone 7, which has a tiny 4.7-inch screen. Meanwhile, the larger Galaxy S8+ is roughly the same size as Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, and it features a massive 6.2-inch display compared to the 5.5-inch screen on the Apple phablet. Here's another image that shows the Galaxy S8 and S8+ compared to other Samsung phones: 
Samsung's next-generation Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are expected to be released on April 28th, a month after they're unveiled during the last week of March.
