June 26, 2019

Fears of a war between Iran and the United States continue to intensify after Iranian forces shot down a US drone. On Thursday, Iran said they had successfully downed an unmanned aircraft in Iranian airspace. However, the US said their drone was in international territory before it was finally hit by a surface-to-air-missile. The quick developing events have activated international alarm and impelled concern the standoff is eventually going to escalate into a major open confrontation between the two nations.

Latest Happenings

On Monday 24^th, the Iranian government said they will not be shaken by the new US sanctions as it will have “no impact”. “We really do not know what the new sanctions are and what they want to target anymore, and also do not consider them to have any impact,” said Abbas Mousavi at a press conference in Tehran.

Since the escalation of these tensions, the US has already imposed a robust slate of punitive sanctions on Tehran. These sanctions were aimed at choking off Iranian oil sales while at the same time crippling its economy. On Monday, Hesamodin Ashna, the advisor to President Hassan Rouhani twitted “America’s claim of readiness for unconditional negotiation is not acceptable with the continuation of threats and sanctions. We consider war and sanctions to be two sides of the same coin.

US Secretary of State Meeting withSaudi Arabia’s King

On Monday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo twitted that he had discussed the heightened tensions in the region with Salman, Saudi Arabia’s King during a meeting in Jeddah.He also said that they talked about the need to promote maritime security in the region following attacks on oil tankers in Gulf Waters which Riyadh and Washington are blaming Iran. However, Tehran has completely denied these charges.

President Trump Willing to Talk to Iran

A senior US official said President Donald Trump is ready and willing to talk to Iran concerning a deal that would lift American sanctions but Tehran would have to close its nuclear and missile programmed as well as its support for proxies. On the other hand, US Special Representative on Iran Brian Hook told reporters that Iran could ‘come to the table or watch its economy crumble”. He however, refused to give more details about the new US sanctions that are expected later on Monday. Hook was speaking by telephone from Oman where he is currently touring Gulf countries before heading to Paris.

Iran-US tensions are set to escalate even further as more sanctions continue to be imposed by the US government on Iran. Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs has warned Iran about more sanctions if it continued its “aggressive policies” but said Riyadh had no intension of going into war. For now we only have to wait and see what new sanctions the US is going to impose and how Iran is going to respond to these sanctions. It is only then that we can know how this tension will fair on.

NASA’S New Atomic Clock: An Innovation That is set to Make Deep Space Travel Safer

NASA is set to begin the testing of their new one-way navigation system by making use of a small atomic clock. With thisnew NASA’s Deep Atomic Clock, a spacecraft can safely fly themselves to far off destinations such as Mars and the Moon. Before the introduction of this one of a kind invention, a spacecraft could go by calculating its current location in relation to the Earth.

Now that we have the Deep Atomic Clock, data can be sentvia a relay system that has the ability to take almost everything from minutes to hours passed along. Even though this system is currently working quite well with close-to-earth missions, we will still need a new invention in order to navigate the deep-space projects.

Launch Date

NASA is expected to start testing the Deep Atomic Clock in June once it has already been launched on the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket into the orbit of Earth for one year. The Atomic Clock will be tested rigorously to check whether it will be able to give a helping hand to spacecraft whenever they want to locate themselves.

If the test goes as planned, it could prove beneficial to space exploration since the doors to a one way navigation will be opened. This action is then set to allow both crewed and autonomous spacecraft to fly into deep space without encountering any problems on the way. At the moment, spacecraft that explore deep space are controlled on Earth by navigators. With the Deep Space Atomic Clock, this will be a thing of the past as it enables onboard autonomous navigation according to Jill Seubert, the deputy principal investigator.

GPS and Smartphones are Inaccurate for Deep Space

GPS and Smartphones have proved inaccurate for deep space exploration. This is because they tend to determine their location by sending data to atomic clocks on satellites that are currently orbiting the Earth. In order to determine the position of the device, we would then have to triangulate its position in relation to the atomic clock.

Spacecraft can no longer make use of GPS since any small inaccuracy will mean vast distances. Therefore, a spacecraft is forced to use giant satellites to send signals which then bounce back to Earth. With accurate clocks on the ground, they are able to measure the duration that the message takes, to send and receive. It is then that navigators can tell how far away the spacecraft is. Furthermore, they can also detect how fast it is travelling. However, despite the system being sound, it may take a long time for the messages to be sent and received. Fortunately NASA is already working on this.

NASA’s new Deep Space Atomic Clock is set to change space exploration completely once it has been fully tested. As more tests continue to be done, we will wait and see how the Deep Space Atomic Clock is going to change space exploration.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured another five year term in office after winning a landslide victory in India’s general election. Mr. Modi’s party, Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) looks set to win close to 300 parliamentary seats out of the 543 in what Mr. Modi hailed as a historic mandate. Indian main’s opposition party, headed by Rahul Gandhi has already admitted defeat in the general election which had more than 600 million people voting in a period of six weeks. Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, Mr. Gandhi conceded losing the general elections together with his Amethi seat in Uttar Pradesh which has been held by his family for many decades now.

As per the announced results, Mr. Modi’s BJP is expected to clinch about 300 parliamentary seats. This number combined with the close to 50 seats won by BJP’s allies means the party is set to have about 350 seats in parliament. On the other hand, India’s main opposition party, the Congress Party, is only expected to win not more than 55 parliamentary elections. Mr. Modi has not only exceeded the poll predictions but has also won more votes when compared to the 2014 partial elections.

In order for a party or coalition to form the government in India, it needs to have at least 272 seats in the 53-member lower house of parliament or Lok Sabha. In 2014, Mr. Modi’s BJP party won 282 seats making it the biggest victory by any party in 30 years. The congress party also suffered the worst defeat during 2014 general elections after only winning 44 parliamentary seats. During this year’s elections, close to 900 million people were eligible to take part, making it the largest elections to have been witnessed worldwide. These elections were done in seven rounds of voting.

The historic win has proven that people are not blaming Prime Minister Modi for the issues experienced during the last years while in power including an increase in unemployment rates. This means people have faith in his leadership and are willing to let him lead the country until the next elections.

Translating Your Tone As well As Your Words Using Google’s Prototype Al Translator

It is with no doubt that communication depends on more than what a person has to say. The manner in which you say it is just as important as what you wish to say.It is for this reason that Google has now introduced the latest Prototype of Al Translator which not only translates the words that come from your mouth but also the cadence and tone of your voice. This system commonly referred to as the Translatotron has taken the world of communication by storm ever since it was first put into use.

What makes the Translatotron a force to reckon with is the fact that it translates speech directly from input to audio without necessarily having to translate it into the normal intermediary text. This Al model is well-known to enhance performance by getting rid of stops for subsidiary actions and tasks. In addition, the Translatotron guarantees faster results without necessarily having to encounter the possible risks of introducing multiple errors whenever you are going through multiple translation steps.

When it comes to translating speech from one language to another, the Translatotron makes use of spectrogram data or in other words a detailed visualization of sound. This is unlike most translators which only process raw audio hence you can never experience the mind-bogging pictures that are common withthe Translatotron.

However, just like most Google translation inventions, we will have to wait and see whether the Translatotron is worth using. This is because some Google translation efforts have not worked out as most people would expect. It is for this reason that we should be skeptical about how systems like the Translatotron will work in the future. Despite this, the Translatotron by Google is still a good system that you can consider using when translating languages.

Technology has greatly impacted in our lives to the extent that we can no longer stay happy without using a technological invention. For the very first time,technological innovations have changed computing since we can now enjoy thebeauty of both the physical and virtual world. All this has been made possible thanks to Augmented Reality (AR), an invention that has the capabilities of instilling wonder and awe. Nowadayswe have a new creative economy, where digital media is given life thus interacting with the normal world.

Augmented Reality can be made visible in so many devices including mobile phones, head-mounted displays, glasses, screens to mention a few. To make it even better, AR has been designed to involve other high end technologies like the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping commonly abbreviated as S.L.A.M and depth tracking which is responsible for tracking distant objects.

One of the areas in which Augmented Reality is now being used is in the design of cameras. Camera based AR systems have the ability to collect enough data about the interaction of a user and sending it for further processing. All it takes is for the cameras on devices to carefully examine the surroundings before eventually using this information to locate physical objects. Once the object has been located the camera based AR system will then generate 3D models of the same. This may take place in a common camera like the one on your smartphone or more advanced cameras such as the one by Microsoft HoloLens.

With Augmented Reality, you can easily enjoy both the digital and real world thus creating a memorable experience. It is expected that AR will be made even better in the coming years as more and more research continues totake place. Once this happens, we will be able to greatly benefit from what Augmented Reality has to offer.
