Election Day might be a major turning point for the marijuana reform movement because five states have ballot initiatives that would legalize cannabis for adult use, regulating and taxing it like alcohol. There are also campaigns in three states to legalize medical marijuana — which would bring the total to 28 — and a slew of local, citywide initiatives. The vote to watch is in California, where polls suggest the “Adult Use of Marijuana” referendum has a substantial lead.

By Neha Dasgupta and Nidhi Verma NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced that 500 and 1,000 rupee banknotes would be withdrawn from circulation at midnight to crack down on rampant corruption and counterfeit currency. The surprise move was designed to bring billions of dollars worth of cash in unaccounted wealth into the mainstream economy, as well as hit the finances of militants who target India and are suspected of using fake 500 rupee notes to fund operations. "Black money and corruption are the biggest obstacles in eradicating poverty," Modi said in a hastily convened address to the nation after a cabinet meeting.

Thousands of earthquakes have rattled Oklahoma and neighboring states in recent years, with the most significant portion traced to the underground injection of wastewater left over from oil and gas production.

WHY DOES OKLAHOMA HAVE SO MANY EARTHQUAKES?

Porsche's Cayenne Turbo is a mega SUV that is super capable on the road, with impressive at-speed stability, acceleration on par with many sports cars, all the comfort you could ask for, and space for most anything you'd need to haul. Porsche is quite vocal about the Cayenne's speed and stability, but they don't talk much about its offroad prowess. As you can see from this video, the Porsche is more than capable of tackling this facsimilie of an "off-road course".
By Jonathan Landay and Phil Stewart WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S.-backed assault on Raqqa, Islamic State's de facto capital in Syria, is unlikely to pierce the city itself before President Barack Obama leaves office in January, denying him the chance to claim the end of the group's "caliphate" as part of his legacy. Although a U.S.-backed alliance of Syrian armed groups announced the kickoff of the offensive on Sunday, U.S. officials caution the fighters will first try to seal off and isolate the Islamic State stronghold, a process that could take two months or longer. As a result, the victor of Tuesday's U.S. presidential election almost certainly will inherit the job of routing the militants from the city from which they have run their shrinking territories in Syria and Iraq, overseen branches from West Africa to South Asia and plotted attacks in Western Europe and elsewhere.
One of Tesla's most popular features will soon no longer be offered free of charge (no pun intended). Tesla owners who purchase their cars in 2017 will be charged for?using the previously-free fast-charging Supercharger network.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday there was a "world of opportunities" for post-Brexit Britain in India, as she donned a saree during a temple charm offensive in Bangalore. May said that Britain would not need to ease visa restrictions -- a key demand from Delhi, but a contentious domestic issue -- in order to reach a trade deal with India once her country has left the European Union.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker delivered a personal warning to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday that he would be held responsible if Ankara fails to meet EU criteria for granting Turks visa-free travel. An EU offer to liberalize its visa system was part of a deal in March under which Turkey has agreed to all but halt the flow of Syrian refugees and other migrants into the EU via Greece. "Everything the Turkish authorities are doing today leads me to believe that in the end Turkey does not want to be ready to respect European standards," he said.

It was 56 years ago today that John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in a bitter contest against the incumbent Vice President, Richard Nixon. The New York Times called the election for then-Senator Kennedy just before midnight on November 8, 1960. All night, the newly empowered national television networks had forecast that Kennedy was leading, but in a race that was too close to call.
When a scientist announced last decade that he’d built a new form of spacecraft propulsion called the EmDrive that didn’t require conventional fuel, it sounded too good to be true. NASA did just that—and while the space agency hasn’t officially released its findings yet, a leaked copy of NASA’s report reveals the EmDrive seems to work as advertised. The EmDrive, which was demonstrated in 2006 by scientist Roger Shawyer, works by bouncing around microwave radiation within a cone-shaped piece of metal, known as a resonant cavity.
