Protesters demonstrate outside Portland building for second consecutive night

September 23, 2020

Demonstrations continued outside a Southeast Portland building for a second night in a row after a brief hiatus due to wildfire smoke.

The crowd arrived at the Penumbra Kelly Building, which has been the site of previous protests this year — around 10:30 p.m. — after they marched from a local park roughly a half a mile away. The mass gathering blocked a nearby street in both directions, authorities said.

Police would respect their right to protest but warned the large crowd not to enter or remain on “the property its landscaping or walkways.”

“Failure to adhere to this order may subject you to arrest, citation, or the use of crowd control agents including, but not limited to, impact weapons and/or OC munitions,” Portland police wrote on Twitter.

SOME PROTESTS AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY TAKE A MORE CONFRONTATIONAL APPROACH: REPORT

According to videos on social media, at least one activist speaking to a crowd in front of the building would criticize a Monday report by the New York Times that said some protesters were using a more confrontational approach, which could force a schism among some Black Lives Matter activists.

One tactic is taking the fight to white neighborhoods that had been gentrified.

“We don’t need allies anymore,” Stephen Green, an investor and entrepreneur in Portland who is Black, told the paper. “We need accomplices.”

The protester read parts of the article aloud to the crowd, which appeared to laugh at times.

“So this is what they do right, so not only do they get a brother who agrees with what they say, but they get another brother to argue with that first brother and they blast that out,” an activist told the crowd before reading the quote by Green. “So what they’re showing is Black people not being able to get along.”

After more joined the crowd, police would issue the use of force warning before the article was read aloud once again. Meanwhile, a firework was thrown in front of police vehicles in the area, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting reporter, Sergio Olmos. Some people were also captured on video dancing to songs by Miley Cyrus and Rage Against the Machine.

PORTLAND PROTESTS RESUME AFTER WILDFIRE HIATUS WITH GINSBURG VIGIL, MORE VANDALISM

On Monday, a crowd marched on the Penumbra Kelly Building and stayed off of the property, but some individuals threw various items into the parking lot after congregating near the entrance, Portland police said earlier on Tuesday.

Arson investigators and the Explosive Disposal Unit identified one of the items thrown as a “viable Molotov cocktail,” according to authorities.

“The wick was lit and the device was thrown onto the property,” police added. “Fortunately, the fire extinguished and no one was injured.”

N.Y.C. Warns About Rising Virus Cases in Hasidic Neighborhoods

NYC Warns About Rising Virus Cases in Hasidic Neighborhoods

New York City’s Health Department warned Tuesday evening that Covid-19 was spreading at increasing levels in several neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, a worrisome indicator after a couple of months of declining or flat transmission.

City health officials said that they were especially concerned about a clear uptick in transmission among some of the city’s Hasidic communities, which were devastated by Covid-19 in the spring but had seen few cases in the summer.

Patrick Gallahue, a spokesman for the city’s Health Department, said, “We are concerned about how Covid may be affecting Orthodox communities — in these neighborhoods and beyond — and we will continue working with partners, providers and residents throughout the city to ensure that guidance is followed to maintain our progress suppressing the pandemic.”

One city health official estimated that about a quarter of new Covid-19 cases in New York City appeared to be emanating from Orthodox Jewish communities, though the official acknowledged that at present the data was imperfect.

The data that alarmed public heath officials included the percentage of Covid-19 tests that were coming back positive. It had increased in recent weeks in several neighborhoods in Brooklyn — Williamsburg, Midwood, Borough Park and Bensonhurst — as well as Kew Gardens and Edgemere-Far Rockaway in Queens.

In the three South Brooklyn neighborhoods — Midwood, Borough Park and Bensonhurst — about 4.7 percent of Covid-19 tests were positive, which was far higher than in the rest of the city, according to the alert the Health Department sent to reporters.

Across the entirety of the city, between 1 percent and 2 percent of tests have been positive most days in the past two months. The alert said the Health Department was regarding the Covid-19 cases in those three neighborhoods as a single cluster that it was calling the Ocean Parkway Cluster.

The actual increase in new cases has been noticeable, but modest, in recent weeks. For much of the past two months, the seven-day rolling average of new cases has hovered in the mid- 200s. Recently, it began to climb toward an average of 300 new cases a day, reaching that on Sept. 14.

The rising case load is a particular cause for concern as it began weeks ahead of the reopening of in- person learning a the city’s public schools and the pending reopening of indoor dining, both of which are expected to lead to an uptick in new cases.

The rising levels of transmission left public health officials in a quandary they have struggled with in recent years: how to gain trust within the city’s Hasidic neighborhoods and encourage cooperation with public health mandates.

In recent years, the Health Department has faced skepticism and sometimes defiance from the Hasidic community as public health officials responded to a measles outbreak and to sporadic herpes cases linked to a circumcision ritual.

And at the height of the pandemic, many Hasidic Jews in New York felt that the mayor had unfairly singled them out when he drew attention to social-distancing violations among mourners at the funeral of a prominent Hasidic rabbi.

It was clear this week that the public health authorities were again struggling with how to encourage — or enforce — mask-wearing and social-distancing requirements in Hasidic neighborhoods, where many people are returning to communal life with few Covid-era precautions.

“This situation will require further action if noncompliance with safety precautions is observed,” the Health Department alert sent on Tuesday stated. The alert did not single out any particular group, only naming several neighborhoods with an elevated rate of transmission. “We are writing to provide an update on several COVID-19 signals in Brooklyn and Queens that are cause for significant concern,” the alert stated.

In recent weeks, the city’s health commissioner has publicly said he was worried about rising transmission within the large Orthodox Jewish communities in many of the same neighborhoods mentioned in Tuesday’s alert. “We have observed heightened rates of COVID-19 in many neighborhoods with large Orthodox Jewish populations,” the commissioner, David Chokshi, wrote in an email, according to Hamodia, an Orthodox Jewish news organization. That email was sent to other Orthodox Jewish news outlets as well in early September.

Yosef Rapaport, a media consultant, editor and podcaster in Borough Park, said he had also been hearing of a recent increase in the numbers of people sickened with Covid-19. “There was an uptick in special prayer requests” for those who had fallen ill, he said.

Mr. Rapaport, who is Hasidic and lost relatives to Covid-19 earlier this year, said he feared “a significant portion of our community is minimizing the danger.”

Few if any groups have been hit harder by Covid-19 than New York City’s Hasidic communities, where large families and crowded living conditions are the norm, and communal life revolves around the synagogue.

By late April, roughly 700 members of New York City’s Hasidic community were believed to have been killed by the disease, and few families had been spared. But the illness subsequently seemed to have passed, and synagogues and yeshivas began to reopen. Many people did not bother with masks.

In some areas with significant Hasidic populations, more than 40 percent of people being tested were found to have antibodies, fueling speculation that herd immunity might not be far off.

But after the summer passed with few new cases, there has been a gradual increase in recent weeks.

Motti Seligson, a Chabad rabbi, said he had recently heard of a few cases in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, “but nothing that can be called a second wave.” He added, “The uptick is something that’s of concern to people in these communities.”

In interviews, several Hasidic men in different neighborhoods across Brooklyn said that few people wore masks at large gatherings, including those at synagogues. They noted that many families were taking careful precautions and still not fully rejoining communal life. Rabbi Seligson said that some synagogues were holding more services to limit the number of people present at once and that some religious gatherings were being held outdoors.

Musk: $25,000 Tesla ready “in about three years”

Tesla founder Elon Musk has announced technology that he says will make Tesla batteries cheaper and more powerful.

At a live presentation that Mr Musk labelled ‘Battery Day’ he also teased the possibility of a $25,000 (£19,600), fully-autonomous Tesla “in about three years time”.

“This has always been our dream to make an affordable electric car” he said.

But the news didn’t excite investors and $50bn was wiped off its stock market value.

The main announcement was Tesla’s new larger cylindrical cells. It was claimed the new batteries will provide five times more energy, six times more power and 16% greater driving range.

But the technology announced is likely to take years to implement.

Tesla’s approach includes integrating the battery so that it forms part of the structure of the vehicle, thereby reducing the effective weight of the battery.

The speech took place in front of 240 shareholders – each sitting in a Tesla Model 3.

Central to cheaper Teslas are innovations in the way the company designs batteries – radically improving their efficiency.

Professor Stanley Whittingham, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, told the BBC that “tackling all the opportunities is high risk, but high pay-off”.

“Many of us have suggested the same steps are necessary, but Tesla has the investment and will to make it happen. Not sure anyone else is willing to do this,” he said.

Mr Musk also announced that as well as purchasing batteries from Panasonic and LG Chem – Tesla itself would begin to make them.

In April last year Musk himself revealed problems with sourcing Panasonic batteries used in its

Model 3 Tesla.

Speaking to the BBC, Casper Rawles, Head of Price Assessments at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said scaling up would be “challenging”

“Even with really experienced car manufacturers, we tend to see a very high scrap rate of production in the first couple of years.”

He also warned that so much of the content of the battery is expensive metals – “You can only reduce the cost down to a point”.

Four consecutive quarters of growth have helped Tesla’s share price soar and it is now the most valuable car company in the world.

This is despite criticisms of Elon Musk that some of his technological advances have been exaggerated.

Earlier this month customer group Consumer Reports released a damning report about Tesla’s automated driving services. The research concluded that “For now, Full Self-Driving Capability…remains a misnomer.”

And in July Mr Musk said Tesla would be able to make its vehicles completely autonomous by the end of this year. The statement was met with scepticism by industry insiders.

Tesla’s boss however announced that a ‘beta’ version of the full Autpilot software would be available “in a month or so”.

Musk is no stranger to glitzy and sometimes bizarre public demonstrations.

Earlier this month he unveiled a pig with a coin-sized computer chip in its brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface.

The incredible tale of a man who formed an unlikely bond with an octopus

(CNN) — Craig Foster was diving, bare-chested, in bitterly cold waters off the southern-most tip of Africa when he saw her — an octopus hiding under a cloak of shells and stones.

Enchanted, he began following this incredibly shy creature, trying to prove he wasn’t a predator by staying very still in her presence. For weeks she evaded him: hiding in her den, camouflaging herself, or pushing her liquid body into the nearest crack to escape.

And then, after 26 days of near obsessive wooing, she reached out and touched him.

In the new Netflix documentary “My Octopus Teacher” this tender moment moves you in a way you never thought an octopus tentacle wrapped around a human hand could.

Filmed in 2010, “My Octopus Teacher” chronicles the year Craig Foster spent cultivating a unique bond with an extraordinary creature. The nature documentary has received eight nominations for the Jackson Wild Media Award and won Best Feature at the EarthxFilm Festival.

Foster was able to capture intimate moments of this octopus’ short life by spending up to two hours following her every single day for a year.

“If you gain the trust of that animal over a period of months, it will actually ignore you to a certain degree and carry on with its normal life, and allow you to step inside its secret world,” Foster tells CNN.

We see her outwitting a shark by hitching a ride on its back, growing a new tentacle after surviving a shark attack, and finally wasting away after laying a clutch of eggs.

“The octopus showed me many behaviors that were completely new to science, because this animal trusted me,” he says

“My Octopus Teacher” was directed by Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed and produced by Craig Foster.

Craig Foster/Sea Change Project

The most powerful moment for Foster was when she allowed him to follow her on a hunt.

“It’s not like you are in a Jeep and arrive upon a hunting scene on land,” he explains. “In the water it’s intimate. When she chooses to let you into her world … it’s a very, very special moment of not just being accepted, but that your presence to her also feels natural, like you belong in that space with her.”

Foster has spent the last ten years diving in a kelp forest in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of South Africa where water temperatures can drop as low as 8 degrees Celsius.

Known as the “Cape of Storms,” he describes this patch of ocean as “the most treacherous coast in the world.” While some swimmers fear sharks or other predators, Foster says the greatest threat to his life is being thrown onto a rock by a big wave.

The healing power of the ocean

Foster began this daily diving regimen as a way of dealing with a depression that had left him raw and disconnected. “I was struggling. My only way to heal felt like I needed to be in the ocean, my go-to happy place as a child.”

Immersing himself in this underwater world has calmed his mind, he says. Over the years other animals have reached out to make contact, including otters, whales, cuttlefish and even sharks. “They have chosen to come to me and make that contact, showing a moment of trust and vulnerability,” he says. “Every time it’s breathtaking and healing.”

But nothing has compared to his “once-in-a-lifetime” bond with the octopus, he says.

Foster says the greatest lesson she taught him is that humans are part of the natural world around us, and not simply visitors.

“Your own role and place in the natural world is singularly the most precious gift we have been given.”

Microsoft acquires Fallout creator Bethesda

Xbox-owner Microsoft has acquired the games company behind blockbuster titles including Doom, Fallout, Skyrim and Wolfenstein.

It is paying $7.5bn (£5.85bn) for Bethesda’s parent ZeniMax Media.

Xbox has said that the publisher’s franchises would be added to its Game Pass subscription package for consoles and PCs.

This could help make the forthcoming Xbox Series X more attractive than the PlayStation 5 to some players.

Both machines are due to launch in November.

Game Pass already gives players access to more than 200 games. Microsoft includes first-party titles at point of launch to those signed up to its “ultimate” package without further cost.

By contrast, Sony has opted to charge players up to £70 for its own major releases and does not intend to include new titles in its PlayStation Plus Collection service.

It is not yet clear how the takeover affects Bethesda’s plans to create The Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield and other unfinished games as cross-platform titles.

In a statement, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said the two firms “shared similar visions for the opportunities for creators and their games to reach more players in more ways”.

Pete Hynes, senior vice president at Bethesda Softworks, said the deal offered “access to resources that will make us a better publisher and developer”.

“We’re still working on the same games we were yesterday, made by the same studios we’ve worked with for years, and those games will be published by us,” he wrote in a blog.

Piers Harding-Rolls, research director from Ampere Analysis, described the deal as “a major coup”.

“Microsoft has often been criticised for its lack of heavy-hitting first-party games franchises when compared to Sony and Nintendo. This deal catapults Microsoft’s games portfolio into a much stronger position,” he told the BBC.

image captionOne user found that Twitter seemed to favour showing Mitch McConnell’s face over Barack Obama’s

Twitter is investigating after users discovered its picture-cropping algorithm sometimes prefers white faces to black ones.

Users noticed when two photos – one of a black face the other of a white one – were in the same post, Twitter often showed only the white face on mobile.

Twitter said it had tested for racial and gender bias during the algorithm’s development.

But it added: “It’s clear that we’ve got more analysis to do.”

Twitter’s chief technology officer, Parag Agrawal, tweeted: “We did analysis on our model when we shipped it – but [it] needs continuous improvement.

“Love this public, open, and rigorous test – and eager to learn from this.”

Facial hair

The latest controversy began when university manager Colin Madland, from Vancouver, was troubleshooting a colleague’s head vanishing when using videoconference app Zoom.

The software was apparently mistakenly identifying the black man’s head as part of the background and removing it.

But when Mr Madland posted about the topic on Twitter, he found his face – and not his colleague’s – was consistently chosen as the preview on mobile apps, even if he flipped the order of the images.

His discovery prompted a range of other experiments by users, which, for example, suggested:

Twitter’s chief design officer, Dantley Davis, found editing out Mr Madland’s facial hair and glasses seemed to correct the problem – “because of the contrast with his skin”.

Responding to criticism, he tweeted: “I know you think it’s fun to dunk on me – but I’m as irritated about this as everyone else. However, I’m in a position to fix it and I will.

“It’s 100% our fault. No-one should say otherwise.”

‘Many questions’

Zehan Wang, a research engineering lead and co-founder of the neural networks company Magic Pony, which has been acquired by Twitter, said tests on the algorithm in 2017, using pairs of faces belonging to different ethnicities, had found “no significant bias between ethnicities (or genders)” – but Twitter would now review that study.

“There are many questions that will need time to dig into,” he said.

“More details will be shared after internal teams have had a chance to look at it.”

Late last year, a US government study suggested facial-recognition algorithms were much less accurate at identifying black and Asian faces than white ones.

In the UK, police officers last year raised concerns about algorithms “amplifying” prejudices and called for clearer guidelines on using the technology.

And, in June this year, similar concerns led IBM to announce it would no longer offer facial-recognition software for “mass surveillance or racial profiling”.

Satellite achieves sharp-eyed view of methane

There is a powerful new satellite in the sky to monitor emissions of methane (CH4), one of the key gases driving human-induced climate change.

Known as Iris, the spacecraft can map plumes of CH4 in the atmosphere down to a resolution of just 25m.

This makes it possible to identify individual sources, such as specific oil and gas facilities.

Iris was launched by the Montreal, Canada-based GHGSat company on 2 September.

It’s the pathfinder in what the firm hopes will be a 10-spacecraft constellation by the end of 2022.

The image at the top of this page is Iris’s “first light” – its first attempt to sense a significant emission of methane.

The observation was made over Turkmenistan, in a region where large plumes from oil and gas infrastructure have been noted before.

The detection, overlaid on a standard aerial image, shows the concentration of methane in the air in excess of normal background levels.

“Let me tell you there was a big hurrah from the team when the data came down because we could see the spectroscopy was there, the resolution was there – everything was as it should be,” recalled GHGSat CEO Stéphane Germain.

“We still need to work on the calibration, which will then allow us to verify the detection threshold and the final performance of the satellite. But as a first-light image – by any standard it’s phenomenal,” he told BBC News.

Methane’s global warming potential is 30 times that of carbon dioxide, so it’s imperative any unnecessary releases are constrained or curtailed.

Human-produced sources are many and varied, including not only oil and gas facilities, but agriculture, landfills, coal mines and hydro-electric dams.

Already, GHGSat is working with operators, regulators and other interested parties to characterise these emissions using a prototype satellite called Claire that it launched in 2016. The presence in orbit of Iris provides an additional stream of data for the company that it now intends to interpret at a brand new British analytics hub, to be set up in Edinburgh and London in the coming weeks.

“There’s world-class capability in what we do in the UK,” Dr Germain said, “not only in analytics but also in the spacecraft systems that we’re interested in.

“The UK is a jurisdiction where climate change is important to people, and we want to be where people are willing to participate in the growth of an enterprise that wants to address that worldwide.”

Artwork: Sentinel-5P makes daily global maps of specific gases in the atmosphere

GHGSat has recently been strengthening its ties with the European Space Agency, which operates the EU’s Sentinel-5P satellite.

This also monitors methane, taking a global daily snapshot of the gas. But at a resolution of 7km, its data is much less resolved than that of Iris, or indeed Claire which senses the atmosphere at scales of 50m.

Put them all together, however, and they form something of a dream team for investigating CH4.

“They (Sentinel-5P) can see the whole world every day. We can’t do that. But we can see individual facilities. They can’t do that. So, really, it’s a fantastic combination, and it’s making for a very good relationship with the European Space Agency that I think we’re just at the beginning of growing into something much, much bigger.”

GHG’s next satellite, Hugo, is in testing and is expected to launch at the end of this year.

The company recently secured $30m (£23m) in extra financing, which enables it to build the three spacecraft that will follow Hugo into orbit.

Ministry of Sports started work on culture of doping intolerance

The Russian Ministry of Sports is working to create a culture of zero tolerance for doping in all regions of the country. This was announced on Sunday, September 20, by the head of the department, Oleg Matytsin.

According to him, we are talking about athletes of the very young age. “We are now analyzing the activities of the Center for Sports Training of National Teams of Russia and all athletes – members of the national teams,” the TASS minister is quoted as saying.

According to Matytsin, a more responsible approach to interaction with national teams, coaches, federations and health workers is needed.

Formation of zero tolerance for doping is not a matter of one day, an educational system is needed, he stressed.

Commenting on the disqualification of the Russian figure skater Maria Sotskova for violating anti-doping rules, he called it the reason for the insufficient formation of a sense of responsibility among athletes.

“The question here is probably not in personalities, but in the formation of the culture of our athletes and coaches and a sense of responsibility,” he said. Matytsin expressed the hope that this case will become an isolated one.

On September 18, former figure skater Sotskova, who retired in 2020, was disqualified for 10 years by the decision of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) for forging a medical certificate.

Sotskova was the silver medalist of the Grand Prix finals of the 2017/18 season. She also has silver and bronze medals at the Russian championships.

Torch-inspired Tokyo skyscraper to become Japan’s tallest building

A 390-meter-high (1,279 feet) skyscraper inspired by a flaming torch is set to become Japan’s tallest building when it opens in 2027.

Standing above a new plant-filled public plaza in Tokyo, the tower will also feature a soaring observation area from which visitors can enjoy views over the capital and nearby Mount Fuji.

Although the project was first announced in 2016, property giant Mitsubishi Estate this month unveiled its new torch-inspired design, before revealing the building’s name — Torch Tower — on Thursday. The structure forms part of a wider 31,400-square-meter (338,000-square-foot) urban development.

Most of the building’s 63 floors will be dedicated to office space, though shops and restaurants, as well as a 2,000-seat grand hall and a bathhouse, are set to open on the lower floors.

The building’s upper reaches will contain a hotel with approximately 100 rooms, while the torch’s “flame” has been reserved for an observation area dubbed “sky hill.” The design was envisaged as a “torch that lights up the world,” according to a press release.

Developer Mitsubishi Estate, which is part of the conglomerate behind Mitsubishi Motors, claims that the building will enjoy Japan’s “highest level of seismic resistance.” The development will also provide public areas that serve as shelters in the case of a natural disaster.

The project is currently under construction near Tokyo Station, the capital’s main railway hub. The site was once home to Tokiwabashi Gate, one of the entrances to the 15th-century Edo Castle, of which only ruins remain.

A second high-rise on the site, the 212-meter (696-foot) Tokiwabashi Tower, is due to complete next year. It will be separated from Torch Tower by a 7,000-square-meter (75,000 square feet) public plaza, complete with a koi pond and waterfront promenade.

Torch Tower will stand significantly above Japan’s current tallest building, the 300-meter Abeno Harukas, in Osaka. It will also surpass the planned 330-meter tower in Tokyo’s new Toranomon-Azabudai district, which is set to become the country’s tallest upon its scheduled completion in 2023.

The Executive Director of the World Food Program (the UN food aid body) David Beasley has called on businesses and billionaires to help save 30 million people around the world who are facing starvation in the coming year, CNBC writes on September 18.

According to him, the UN needs $ 4.9 billion to feed those at risk within one year. At the same time, Beasley stressed that there are more than 2 thousand billionaires in the world, whose fortune is estimated at $ 8 trillion.

“Some of them made billions during the pandemic. I am not opposed to their capitals growing, but humanity is facing the greatest crisis that we have ever seen in life, ”he said.

Beasley stressed that the threat of a wave of hunger sweeping the world remains, and urged countries and private businesses to step up their efforts.

“It’s time for those with more to take a step forward to help those with less at this extraordinary time in world history. Show that you truly love your neighbor. The world needs you right now, and it’s time to do the right thing, ”he concluded.

In late August, Beasley warned of the threat of a famine of “biblical proportions” from the coronavirus pandemic.
