US appeals court upholds right to carry gun in public for self-defence

Posted: 24 Jul 2018 03:12 PM PDT

US appeals court upholds right to carry gun in public for self-defenceA US appeals court has ruled that the US Constitution's Second Amendment provides the right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defence. The 2-1 decision, on the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, reversed a lower court decision for a case involving a plaintiff, George Young, who was twice denied a permit to carry a gun. Mr Young applied for a license to carry a handgun either concealed or openly in 2011, the ruling stated, and was denied by County of Hawaii's Chief of Police on two occasions for failure to satisfy the state's licensing requirements.

Scientists won't need to dig far to find signs of life on Jupiter's moon Europa

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 07:48 PM PDT

Scientists won't need to dig far to find signs of life on Jupiter's moon EuropaEuropa, a small moon orbiting Jupiter, has long attracted fascination because of its potential to host alien life.  Hidden below the moon's frozen surface is thought to be an ocean, which could hold signs of life. It turns out scientists won't have to dig too far to find this potential evidence in a future mission, according to a study published in Nature. SEE ALSO: Shields up! How spaceships can save themselves without science fiction Led by NASA scientist Tom Nordheim, the study assessed how harsh the radiation is on Europa's surface.  The intense radiation, which comes from Jupiter, destroys or modifies material on the moon's surface, making it hard for researchers to ascertain if it's reflective of what can be found in the ocean below. Nordheim and his team discovered that the radiation on the surface was at its most intense around the moon's equator, tapering out towards the poles.  Below the surface, the radiation penetrates 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) in the most intense areas, but goes down to less than 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) at the mildest areas.  In order to understand how radiation could impact evidence of life on Europa, the study looked at the destruction of amino acids on the moon, which proteins are made of.  "This is the first prediction of radiation levels at each point on Europa's surface and is important information for future Europa missions," Chris Paranicas, the study's co-author, said in a blog post on NASA's website. It's important information for future Europa missions, whether in orbit or landing on the moon's surface. "The radiation that bombards Europa's surface leaves a fingerprint," Kevin Hand, a co-author of the study, added.  "If we know what that fingerprint looks like, we can better understand the nature of any organics and possible biosignatures that might be detected with future missions, be they spacecraft that fly by or land on Europa."

Thai bride wins battle to share 'secret' relationship with US economist on Facebook

Posted: 25 Jul 2018 12:51 AM PDT

Thai bride wins battle to share 'secret' relationship with US economist on FacebookA married US economist lost a High Court battle against his Thai bride over a Facebook picture she uploaded that he feared would out his secret relationship with her. Economic analyst Harlow Higinbotham, who lives and works in the US, married his first wife in 1991 before meeting Wipaporn Teekhungam in Bangkok in 2001, and they began a relationship. He said he loved her, gave her an engagement ring and told her she was the perfect age to bear his children, the judge told the court. He visited her whenever he was travelling in south-east Asia and, in January 2004, after meeting her parents and paying a dowry, they got 'married' at a ceremony in Thailand, although Ms Teekhungam knew he already had a wife. They then had triplets in 2008, who were named after Mr Higinbotham's family and took his surname. But after the relationship broke down at the end of 2009, child support proceedings began in Thailand and the US. Five years later, Ms Teekhungam created the Facebook profile, which featured a photo of her and Mr Higinbotham with the triplets on their laps. Facebook usage in Asia Even though his other wife knew of their relationship by the time the photo appeared online, he decided to bring a privacy case against Ms Teekhungam at the High Court for misuse of private information, breach of confidence and alleged breaches of the Data Protection Act over her uploading of the photograph. The case was heard in the UK as Ms Teekhungam was now living with her new husband Winton Perry, and they now live in Norfolk. Mr Justice Nicklin endorsed an earlier decision that the claim should be struck out, saying it "has been brought, not for any legitimate reason, but as an act of harassment or revenge". Describing the claim as "worthless", he added: "In many ways, this case is extraordinary. But it is also very sad. Caught in the crossfire are three young children." The judge said that by the time of the online posting, Mr Higinbotham had already told his wife of the relationship and the triplets and the affair was widely known in her circle. Dismissing Mr Higinbotham's appeal, he said that, objectively judged, the Facebook profile was anodyne and inoffensive, if maybe mischievous. "It is said that every photograph tells a story. But the story in this photograph is one the claimant did not want told. He wanted to keep secret the fact that he had a separate family in Thailand. "He contends that the eight-year-relationship with (Ms Teekhungam) was undertaken on 'the express understanding that their relationship would at all times be kept secret from the claimant's family - in particular the claimant's wife - friends and business associates "This is perhaps where the unreality begins. Most rational people would recognise that the chances of keeping secret the existence of a second 'wife' and three children were slim to non-existent. "It is plain, however, that the claimant was confident that he could do so, perhaps relying on the fact that they were over 8,000 miles away from his first wife and life back in Illinois." He concluded that the information Mr Higinbotham sought to protect was so firmly embedded in the public domain because of the Thai and US proceedings that it was "Canute-like" to think the case could achieve anything of value. The judge also discharged an anonymity order granted to Mr Higinbotham in December 2016.
