  WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - U.S. auto safety regulators on Monday opened a formal safety probe into Tesla Inc's  (TSLA.O)  driver assistance system Autopilot after a series of crashes involving Tesla models and emergency vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it had identified 11 crashes since January 2018 in which Teslas "have encountered first responder scenes and subsequently struck one or more vehicles involved with those scenes." The probe will take in 765,000 U.S. vehicles with Autopilot built since 2014. Tesla shares closed down 4.3% on the news. NHTSA, which closed an earlier investigation into Autopilot in 2017 without taking any action, has come under fire for failing to ensure the safety of the system that handles some driving tasks and allows drivers to keep their hands off the wheel for extended periods. After the new probe, the auto safety agency could opt to take no action, or it could demand a recall, which might ...

Although there are many bald celebrity icons like The Rock, Jeff Bezos, the Dalai Lama, and Shaquille O'Neal, losing your hair is not something men aspire to. Buisness Insider journalist Graham Flanagan asked a dermatologist to explain the scientific reasons that some men lose their hair. Dr. Jennifer Chwalek is a Board Certified dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York. Chwalek explained that hair loss is not directly related to low levels of testosterone.

  Transcript: A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut . So, I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher Morgan Spurlock and try something new for 30 days. The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.  It turns out 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit like watching the news from your life. There's a few things that I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was instead of the months flying by forgotten, the time was much more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month and I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day. I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. I went from desk dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun. Even last year, I ended up hik...

Hundreds of little castles, in fact, luxury houses with pointy towers and fairytale charm, if it wasn't for the barbed wire and the fact that they're all empty and just aren't selling.  Situated halfway between Istanbul and Ankara , the region is popular with tourists who like hiking in the vast forests here. A Turkish developer spent over $100,000,000 building homes for Arab customers. "The inspiration for the project came from our work in Kuwait and the Gulf countries. We talked with our customers there and came up with more than one design based on their demands. The choice in the end was for a design like this." While the outcome is certainly a matter of taste, the economic situation in Turkey is clearly bad. The economy is retracting, the lira f...
