Officials in Tokyo are testing a new technology that utilizes weather radar and terrestrial digital radio waves to “quickly and precisely predict torrential rain and tornadoes” up to 20 to 30 minutes in advance, the Mainichi reported on Sunday.
Dubai International is one of the busiest airports in the world. Any delays at DXB can have a knock on effect that can be felt across the globe. Drone disruptions are thus the last thing that the airport needs but it had to put up with that earlier this week when departures were halted for some time after a drone sighting.
Dubai Airports confirmed that departures were halted from 10:13 am to 10:45 am local time over “suspected drone activity.” The drone sighting didn’t affect arriving flights as they were able to land. The airport also reminded people through its social media channels that “flying drones without obtaining permission is subject to legal liability as per UAE laws.”
It’s an all too familiar story of drones causing havoc at airports. London’s Gatwick airport had a particularly bad drone issue at the height of the holiday season last year as it was closed for almost two days because of rogue drone activity. That’s why manufacturers like DJI are now working to further improve the geofencing of their drones around airports.
A statement provided by DXB to the New York Times mentions that “Dubai Airports has worked closely with the appropriate authorities to ensure that the safety of airport operations is maintained at all times and to minimize any inconvenience to our customers.”

The “Kidding” star examines the “Epic National Emergency at our border.”
The disgraced former New York congressman was sentenced to 21 months for sexting with a teenage girl.

The Rubik’s Cube has been exciting and entertaining geeks for many years now. But maybe the design is due for an upgrade. That’s why puzzle expert Tom Parker has been working on a Rubik’s-inspired cube with a unique magnetic design.
Tom’s 3D-printed cube ditches the traditional rotating and sliding mechanism of the original cube, replacing it with magnets. It looks like this actually makes moving the segments a bit easier. I guess it also makes cheating easier too since you can just take each piece out and put it back the way you want. Check out the video and see for yourself how cool it is.
It comes apart in sections very nicely if you pull it. You would think it would just fall apart as you twist it, but it doesn’t. Turning seems much more fluid, so I bet this would be great for competitions. But what do I know? I’m just a dude who will never ever solve one of these things. Cool build, Tom!

This year NASA wants to get their Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) started, and it want it to happen as fast as possible. In fact, they want it to happen so fast, “We do not expect that every one of those launches, or every one of those landings, will be successful.” That was said by Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for … Continue reading
