The U.S. Army has reported that it has worked with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University on machine learning algorithms to improve military radar systems. According to a recent service news release, researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, now known as DEVCOM, developed an automatic way for radars to seamlessly operate in congested and limited spectrum environments created by commercial 4G LTE and future 5G communications systems. “Future implementations of this algorithm into Army legacy and developmental radars will provide unprecedented spectrum dominance for Soldiers,” said Army researcher Dr. Anthony Martone. “This will enable Soldiers to use […]

Jack White, performing “Lazaretto” on Saturday Night Live. YouTube Screenshot by NPR hide caption toggle caption YouTube Screenshot by NPR This week’s Saturday Night Live musical guest was supposed to be Morgan Waller, before the country singer got himself disinvited. On Friday morning, SNL creator Lorne Michaels announced that Jack White — whose best-known band, The White Stripes, releases a greatest-hits album in December — would show up to perform in Waller’s place. Though we’re only two episodes into Season 46, it’s hard to imagine that White’s turn won’t come out near the top when it’s time to rank SNL‘s 2020-21 […]
Mike Pence defending himself against Kamala Harris’ accusations during the VP debate came across as a case of “mansplaining” to liberals who dissected his performance. However, some noted it is “up to the candidate to talk back.” “She got run over by Pence over and over again. The moderator did nothing about it, but she kept her poise, she kept her composure, and she did great tonight,” CNN’s Van Jones said in a post-analysis, giving Pence a new title: “mansplainer-in-chief.” Similar takes could be found on other mainstream networks. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos noted while talking with Martha Raddatz that “a lot […]

These two dogs made for an angry audience when a kid struck dance poses and threw shapes in front of them. An Indian kid was up for some mischief when he spotted a doggo duo and took advantage of them being locked behind an iron gate. The kid broke into “Bhangra” moves, a traditional Punjabi dance, annoying the dogs, who barked in sync with his dance. The furious dogs jumped and howled as the kid danced. Happiness 😊😊 […]
UFC champion Israel Adesanya has denied that he is using steroids after fans noticed an unusual swelling on his right pectoral during his UFC 253 win over Paulo Costa. Adesanya’s “painful” pectoral swelling was the source of much speculation when it was noticed on the broadcast in advance of his middleweight title defense against Costa last Saturday night. Almost immediately, several internet sleuths falsely determined that the swelling was a result of gynecomastia, which is an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in men often caused by an imbalance of the estrogen and testosterone hormones and is often caused by steroid […]

POTUS has offered no evidence to support his remark. US President Donald Trump suggested he would seek a drug test before his debate with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, sharing the plan in an Oval Office interview with The Washington Examiner. Trump offered that he saw a sudden improvement in Biden’s debate capability during the primaries, following what the president characterized as earlier performances by Biden that were “so […]

Russian synchronized swimmers have pulled off a jaw-dropping underwater performance during a training session, but in doing so, they reveal the only element they “can’t do properly.” The Russian ‘mermaids’, who’ve been unbeaten on the international stage for 20 years, attempted to build a star with their bodies under the water, demonstrating incredible team work and coordination.

“I’m in Eastern Ontario. Thousand Islands. Great Lakes. Doing what everyone else is doing in North America—trying to stay inside as much as possible,” Dan Aykroyd said on a phone call in April. Technically, he was outside at that moment. Aykroyd was walking around his family’s farm in Canada, which has the luxury of space and the drawbacks of weak cell service and several unfortunate incidents involving Aykroyd’s mouth and some wayward gnats. This summer marks the 40th anniversary of one of Aykroyd’s most famous and famously chaotic movies, The Blues Brothers. An outgrowth of the blues band Aykroyd and his […]
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moved to halt an allegedly fraudulent digital asset investment fund run by two Pennsylvania brothers. The SEC announced Friday it had filed a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against Sean and Shane Hvizdzak and their corporate entities, alleging the brothers stole millions from victims who thought they were investing in high-growth crypto opportunities. Investors had been told they were getting in on a high-growth fund that doubled its money in a single quarter and grew an additional 90% the next, according to the SEC. The Hvizdzaks ran multiple firms, including “Hvizdzak Capital Management” […]
