Mini Satellite View of Hurricane Dorian Shows Intense Storm ActivityWild Horses of NC to Ride Out Hurricane With ‘Butts to the Wind’ Stay on target Spontaneous combustion of a manure pile on a farm amid a record-breaking heat wave likely sparked a wildfire now burning out of control in northeastern Spain, authorities say.Firefighters are battling the fire, which is affecting more than 10,000 acres of forest and other vegetation near Tarragona, CNN reported.Authorities from the Catalan regional government said the fire likely began when an “improperly managed” pile of manure on a farm in Torre de l’Espanyol, a municipality in the Catalan province of Tarragona, self-ignited in the heat, causing sparks.Firefighters work to control the blaze that has already burned almost 20,000 acres of land, amid a European heatwave.

A lot.New designs bring more diversity to the keyboard (via Apple)Google is really taking equality to the next level by supporting 53 emojis with gender-inclusive designs.“For example, the emoji for ‘police officer’ is commonly displayed as male and the ‘person getting haircut’ is female. These kinds of design decisions can reinforce gender stereotypes,” emoji creative director Jennifer Daniel wrote in a blog post. “So with this update, emojis that don’t specify gender will default to a gender-ambiguous design. You can still choose between male and female presentations if you want to opt into a gender on your keyboard.”Google designed 71 couples with different skin tones (via Google)The Unicode Consortium in February unveiled 230 new icons, revealing text substitutes ideal for chats about adorable aquatic creatures, favorite recipes, laundry, and outer space.Apple and Google are both expected to launch their own interpretations of this year’s characters later this year for iOS 13 and Android Q, respectively.Until they are supported on your device, new emojis may display as an empty square (⃞).More on Geek.com:Eat Your Feelings With Hershey’s Limited-Edition Chocolate Emoji BarNumber of Emoji References in U.S. Court Cases Growing ‘Exponentially’Twitter Is Piloting a New Design Update With an Emoji ButtonEditor’s note: This article was updated on July 17 with additional comment from Google.

Many of us dashed between the raindrops once again Monday as another cold trough of low pressure dominated the weather. The good news was that the rain was light, just measurable as of 4 p.m. The bad news was as of 4 p.m. the high temperature was only 54 degrees, some ten degrees below average. We see more rain today before the big warm up.Yes, believe it or not, Wednesday and Thursday will be the highlights of this year’s weather so far. It looks like winds will line up to bring us highs in the 80s. Then more moisture moves inland later on Thursday, probably starting a few thunderstorms.The bottom drops out again Friday and Saturday with temperatures well below seasonal highs. Hopefully, this is just a two-day plunge and Sunday and next week rebound.Looking back at April, we see 4.25 inches of rain fell in the bucket at Pearson Field. That is 1.24 inches above average. And it was yet another cool month with the average mean temperature at 51.2 degrees, nearly one degree below normal. November was the last month with above average temperaturesThe National Weather Service has slated today through Thursday as Pacific Northwest Severe Weather Awareness Campaign.

Vancouver’s only local radio station, KXRW-FM, revealed last week that some local listeners might tune in and hear different voices through the airwaves soon.Portland radio company Bustos Media has applied to broadcast on the same frequency — 99.9 FM — and its feed from across the Columbia River may overpower some of the local transmissions.Radio industry experts say it’s not an uncommon occurrence, but KXRW worries that it could be a setback for the young, volunteer-run station.“It’s pretty nerve-wracking,” said Susan Galaviz, chair of the radio station’s board of directors. The station launched in March to highlight politics, events and music in Southwest Washington.“It took all of our efforts” to get launched, she said. “Our whole goal is to have a platform to educate and inform folks, and we were just starting to have all local Vancouver musicians on who never have their music on the radio. You can imagine what a bummer it would be if we can’t be heard in Vancouver.”
PORTLAND — A federal appeals court has given the green light to a lawsuit filed by young activists who say the U.S. government is failing to protect them from climate change.The lawsuit brought by 21 children and young adults asserts the government has known for decades that carbon pollution causes climate change but has failed to curb greenhouse gas emissions. They are seeking various environmental remedies.A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday rejected the government’s request for an order directing a lower court to dismiss the case.Julia Olson, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the group will put the federal government’s “dangerous energy system and climate policies on trial.”

Over the last year, runner David Crawford said, he’s seen an uptick in homeless encampments along the Padden Parkway bike path. He recalled seeing tents and shopping carts full of old shoes and other items along with garbage.In February, Crawford said he saw a particularly bad encampment with garbage strung about. He said that after it sat there for a long time, he decided to contact the Clark County Council.It took a month for the encampment to be cleaned. The delay occurred, in part, because of confusion over whether the encampment fell under Vancouver or Clark County’s jurisdiction. But Crawford said that it seemed like the county didn’t have a chain of command or policy in place when it came to homeless encampments.“From the guys I talked to, it’s like, who is supposed to take care of this?” he said. “Somebody needs to do something.”The increase in homelessness in recent years has created new challenges. In 2016, Clark County lost a lawsuit over its handling of the personal property of homeless people during sweeps of encampments.
Motorists arrested on suspicion of drunken driving this weekend will encounter a law enforcement strategy that is new to Clark County.If a suspected drunken driver refuses to take a breath test, law enforcement officers will automatically seek a search warrant allowing them to take the driver’s blood sample as evidence.The strategy is called a “no refusal weekend,” and it’s being implemented starting today in conjunction with enhanced patrols through Sunday, according to the Washington State Patrol.“This is just another tool in our toolbox to help us with getting impaired drivers prosecuted properly and gathering other pieces of evidence that we can use in our investigation,” WSP Trooper Will Finn said at a press conference Wednesday. “It’s another form of evidence to help us prosecute individuals who are out there putting dangerous behavior out on our roadways and putting other motorists in danger for the choices they’re making by driving impaired.”‘No refusal’Normally, when a driver is suspected of being impaired in Washington, an officer pulls them over and conducts a series of tests — including a field sobriety test — before taking them to a secure area to provide a breath sample.If the driver refuses to provide a breath test, the officer has the option to apply for a search warrant or proceed without it.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted he won’t hesitate to play the club’s teenage sensation.The former Bayern Munich manager believes the England youth international will play more games this season as he continues to grow physically and even mentally on the pitch. Foden started the community shield game against Chelsea two weeks ago at Wembley, helping his boyhood club secure the first trophy of the season with a 2-0 victory over rivals Chelsea.However, Kevin De Bruyne’s injury means there could be an opening for Foden to step in, and Guardiola has little doubt the teenager can step up if called upon.“We know him very well. He was with us last season, he is part of the group,” Guardiola told English newspapers, as quoted by ESPN.“Sometimes last season he went with the second team, first team, second team — now he is part of the team.

Real Madrid midfielder Isco rose to the defence of under-fire manager Julen Lopetegui by claiming that the responsibility of the team’s displays lies with the playersThe pressure is at an all-time high for Lopetegui in his four-month reign in charge of Real following Saturday’s shock 2-1 home defeat to the lowly Levante.The former Spain boss is being widely tipped to be dismissed from his post before Sunday’s El Clasico game with Barcelona.But Lopetegui stated his intention to fight on earlier today and Isco revealed that both himself and the entire squad are behind their manager.“I do not believe that the press has the power to sack a Madrid coach,” said Isco ahead of Real’s Champions League game with Viktoria Plzen, on Sport.
Mourinho: “Lionel Messi made me a better coach” Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Jose Mourinho believes the experience of going up against Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi at Real Madrid made him a greater coach.“The controversy that you want to create in the dressing room is not there.

You have to let him work.“If you sack the coach you have to sack us all because we are the ones on the field – this is something for everyone, not just the coach.“Historically, people who criticise us come back later with their tail between their legs once we win Champions League.”
