Jay Alan Zimmerman, a deaf composer and musician, was used to positioning himself near the speakers at clubs, straining to feel the vibrations of songs he could not hear. So when he was invited to test a new technology, a backpack, known as a haptic suit, designed for him to experience music as vibrations on his skin — a kick drum to the ankles, a snare drum to the spine — he was excited. “With captioning and sign language interpretation, your brain is forced to be in more than one place at a time,” Mr. Zimmerman, who began losing his hearing in his early 20s, said in a recent video interview. “With a haptic system,” he continued, “it can go directly to your body at the exact same moment, and there’s real potential for you to actually feel music in your body.”

It's not investing in infrastructure directly," Wahba told CNBC. "All the technology around infrastructure services, I think is an area which is going to grow exponentially," Wahba told CNBC. More infrastructure systems are going to become digitized, which means those systems increasingly become vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. The danger of hackers with bad intentions getting into infrastructure systems is especially scary. Otherwise, privatizing infrastructure "is a recipe for disaster," Wahba told CNBC.

"Investing in infrastructure, climate-related technology is the future," Wahba told CNBC in a video interview in May. The road is made of bitumen," a derivative of an oil product, Wahba told CNBC. Each stage of that process poses an infrastructure climate problem. "There are very, very attractive returns," Wahba told CNBC. Of course, some climate investments are risky.

April 17 (Reuters) - Five-time African champions Zamalek suffered another blow in a chaotic season as a local administrative court in Egypt ordered the removal of club president Mortada Mansour, days after the team appointed Colombian coach Juan Carlos Osorio. Mansour told his YouTube channel, which has more than half a million followers, "I will not talk about the ruling now because judgment is the title of truth." Mansour had previously threatened to ban a group of supporters after they arranged themselves in the shape of a giant "angry face" emoji in an eye-catching protest during an African Champions League match against Sudan's Al-Merreikh. Zamalek are fourth in the Egyptian Premier League on 39 points from 23 matches, 11 points behind leaders Al-Ahly who have played 20 games.

It said it would turn clocks forward on Saturday night and other Christian organisations, parties and schools announced similar plans.

BEIRUT, March 26 (Reuters) - Lebanon woke up in two time zones on Sunday amid an escalating dispute between political and religious authorities over a decision to extend winter time for a month. Businesses and media organizations, including two of Lebanon's main news channels LBCI and MTV, announced they too would enter daylight savings on Saturday night as calls for disobedience gained steam. LBCI said in a statement that it would disobey Mikati's decision because it would have harmed its work, adding: "Lebanon is not an island". But later that day, Mikati issued the decision to stay in winter time. Some Twitter users shared an old recording of famed Lebanese composer and musician Ziad Rahbani speaking about daylight savings.
Cinci femei au fost ucise după ce un proiectil a căzut peste o sală de petreceri în timpul unei nunţi în noaptea de vineri spre sâmbătă, la Hodeida, oraş din sud-vestul Yemenului în război, au anunţat un responsabil guvernamental şi martori, relatează AFP.Explozia, care a provocat şi rănirea a şapte persoane, printre care şi copii, potrivit martorilor, a fost calificată drept "o crimă odioasă comisă de houthi împotriva civililor" de către generalul Sadek Douid, reprezentant al guvernului în cadrul unei comisii mixte susţinute de ONU pentru menţinerea armistiţiului la Hodeida. "Condamnăm această crimă odioasă comisă de houthi, care au vizat o sală de petreceri", a declarat generalul Douik pentru AFP. "Guvernatorul" din Hodeida desemnat de houthi, Mohammed Ayash, a atribuit la rândul său atacul forţelor guvernamentale. "Forţele de agresiune comit crime şi nu ezită să arunce responsabilitatea asupra altora", a declarat el pentru canalul de televiziune al rebelilor Al-Massirah.Pe 13 decembrie în acelaşi an, ONU a anunţat acorduri pentru a reduce provizoriu armele la tăcere, în special la Hodeida, la finalul convorbirilor inter-yemenite din Suedia. Armistiţiul a rezistat, mai mult sau mai puţin, încă de atunci.Yemenul a fost miercuri teatrul unui atac spectaculos în momentul în care noul guvern ajungea pe aeroportul din Aden, capitală provizorie în sudul ţării.Cel puţin 26 de persoane au murit în acest atac atribuit de către guvern rebelilor houthi, care nu l-au revendicat totuşi.Conflictul prelungit a aruncat Yemenul, cea mai săracă ţară din peninsula arabică, în cea mai gravă criză umanitară din lume potrivit ONU, cu zeci de mii de morţi, milioane de deplasaţi şi o populaţie în pragul foametei, scrie agerpres.ro.
