A recent study by automotive consulting firm AutoPacific surveyed over 600 licensed drivers between 18 and 80 across the country. The study gauged comfort with autonomous vehicles in addition to other topics like insurance responsibility, accident liability and most trusted automotive brands. The study determined that only 29 percent of respondents said they would be comfortable being driven in a fully autonomous vehicle in the future. However, 26 percent said they would be comfortable as passengers in someone else’s autonomous vehicle....

In this analysis, researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden compared the effectiveness of CBT delivered in-person versus online. Then, they analyzed whether this remote method worked equally for all kinds of patients. Björkelund and colleagues found that in-person CBT and internet-based CBT (iCBT) were similarly effective for patients. But this varied for different CBT techniques as well as the severity of depression. The evidence suggests that clinicians should consider certain caveats and personal patient traits when tailoring their treatment....

By analyzing the mobile phone location data from 45 million anonymous mobile devices in the twelve most-populated regions in the U.S., researchers were able to explore the correlation between the time spent at home and current economic status. The May study was published in Annals of the American Association of Geographers. How socioeconomic barriers affect the health and safety of vulnerable populations is a topic that’s been at the forefront of experts’ minds throughout the pandemic....

Researchers in Canada focused on identifying the relationships between four factors in mid-age and older adults: ethnicity, immigration status, PTSD, and nutrition. In analyzing the data, factors that predicted PTSD included: Being an immigrant from a minority groupComing from a lower-income householdDaily consumption of high-sugar, low-fiber foods “Sometimes people can face trauma, and they don’t necessarily realize how it can impact them, even years later,” lead study author Karen Davison, PhD, MSc, RD, director of the Nutrition Informatics Research Group, and health science program faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Canada, tells Verywell....

Tech products often do not receive a great deal of mainstream scrutiny for their energy usage. There is a lot involved in the production and delivery of a new console, but there isn’t a lot of research done on the topic of their carbon footprint, or at least, it’s not making the news. A recent study found that cloud-streaming games (as opposed to a downloaded or physical copy) had higher levels of carbon emissions per hour due to extra amounts of computing required to keep processing a game....

Beyond the runaway success of mobile AR game Pokemon GO, the series has a slew of titles recently released and planned over the course of the next year or so. These includes titles such as New Pokemon Snap, the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is perhaps the most intriguing, as the title is set to take place prior to any other mainline title, and will feature an open-world design many fans are comparing to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild....

With just 14 points in 15 games, the Reds are down in 16th position in the league standings and facing relegation from the top flight. The Baden-Wurttemberg outfit have won only thrice in their campaign so far, but interestingly, all three of their victories have come in the last six games alone, having picked up none in their opening nine. After that winless run in October, head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo was given the boot with Michael Wimmer being the caretaker manager....

While a subconjunctival hemorrhage can look scary, it is usually harmless and will resolve on its own without treatment. In this article, you’ll learn about the causes and symptoms of a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will also describe the treatment options and when it is time to see a healthcare provider. Symptoms of a Subconjunctival Hemorrhage The sclera is the white part of your eye that is covered by a thin, clear tissue called the conjunctiva....

Insofar as activists mean to reduce police harassment and violence, this sentiment is laudable. But, as I argue in a new report, it’s also dangerously misguided; police are and ought to be the primary institution to ensure public safety. We need to stop pitting “alternatives” against them, and start thinking about how crime-reducing policies can complement police work instead. Decades of evidence show that cops are an incredibly powerful tool for stopping crime....

To make matters worse, Schwarzkopf took with him into retirement the minute-by-minute campaign log kept by his executive officer. The diary was a key source for the general’s $5 million memoirs, but army sources say he has denied historians access to it. Beyond that, the sources say, Schwarzkopf also took phone logs, copies of documents and sheaves of graphics prepared during the war, showing the progress of battle–all of which he’s refused to share....

Illinois power company ComEd said that over 183,000 of its customers had lost power following the storms, while Wisconsin’s We Energies said that more than 120,000 had lost power. Power lines were knocked down as the powerful storms wracked havoc on both states, leaving the utility companies to scramble to repair the damage and restore service in the areas that went dark. Areas affected by the Illinois storms included the Chicago metro area, where more than half the outages were reported....

Though many players who tried the Stranger of Paradise’s demo had a great deal of criticism for the game, it seems as though Team Ninja has listened, and has taken on player feedback to fine tune the game’s mechanics and overhaul some aspects that just didn’t work for some. With a release date slated for next month, Stranger of Paradise has been releasing trailers at a regular pace, with the latest one showcasing some new Job classes that should add quite a bit of variety to the gameplay....

Grasso has been living in a state of disbelief for some time now, absorbing the surprising turn of a career that for decades only got better. When word leaked out last year that the NYSE’s blue-chip board had paid him $139.5 million in accrued salary and pension, Grasso came under relentless criticism. He became a lightning rod for Wall Street excess and favorable deals for insiders–what could justify that kind of pay for a man running a not-for-profit organization?...

Like the laws for getting a drivers license, many states have different rules. “Technology is moving much faster than the laws,” said Ian Reagan, a senior research scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in a statement. “One solution may be to make them broader, rather than trying to come up with an exhaustive list of banned behaviors.” Because phones now act as navigation devices, radios, payment portals, social media devices and more, lawmakers have used two tactics....

India drew its first game against Korea 1-1 before going down to New Zealand 1-2. India’s failure to emerge victor is particularly agonising when seen against the light of the many scoring opportunities of which its strikers, Ramandeep Singh in particular, made a hash of. Akashdeep Singh and NikkinThimmaiah both have a goal to their names and haven’t disappointed the team but Ramandeep’s performance hasn’t been anything to write home about....

It is a slightly harsh decision given that last season Mel, who had previously led Betis to promotion from the second division (Liga Adelante), helped them qualify for the Europa League and has this term taken them into the knockout phase of the competition, reports Xinhua. However, Betis have struggled for form this time around after losing key players such as Benat Etxebarria and Jose Canas and are currently two points adrift at the bottom of the table....

Except that isn’t always the case. In many instances, instead of your application being tossed aside by a HR professional, it is actually artificial intelligence that is the barrier to entry. While this isn’t a problem in itself—AI can reduce workflow by rapidly filtering applicants—the issue is that within these systems lies the possibility of bias. It is illegal in the U.S. for employers to discriminate against a job applicant because of their race, color, sex, religion, disability, national origin, age (40 or older) or genetic information....
