There are several reasons why the ability to determine gender from iris images is an interesting and potentially useful problem (3). One possible use arises in searching in an authorization database for a match. If the gender of a sample can be determined, it can be used to order the search reduce the average search time.

And I'm sure the GOP will take kindly to all the Mexicans trying to get into the US to escape an US "special military operation"

I hope that the article is wrong about US going into Mexico, snowballing into a GOP mainstream idea, but I'm afraid they are right

It's not a middle eastern thing, It stems from people in power who don't see women as having any value, except as house slaves/property. Those people try to justify their ideas by pointing to old texts, where other similar minded people have snuck in the notions of women as property or of less value than men.

But in a July Reuters/Ipsos poll, 37% of independents said the criminal cases made them less likely to vote for him, compared to 8% who said they were more likely to do so

How can someone see Trump been charged again and again, as something that makes him more compelling to vote for. I know the Republicans have put their egg in that basket(case), but as an independent, seeing all those charges, and think "Well, that works for me!" I don't get it...
