Ex-State Dept. Official: Israel Is Starving Gaza Now. We Can't Wait Another 30 Days to Take Action

Democracy Now! 

Aid groups warn Israel is wiping northern Gaza off the map, and the Biden administration is threatening to cut military assistance to Israel — but not for at least 30 days. This comes as the U.S. has continued to arm Israel despite findings by its own experts at USAID and the State Department that Israel has routinely impeded delivery of food and medicine to Gaza. We speak with Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned last October over the push to increase arms sales to Israel. He and Tariq Habash... Читать дальше...

Efficient Nanobubble Production Method Explored by UCalgary Researchers

Energy-daily.com 

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 17, 2024 - Researchers from the University of Calgary are investigating an energy-efficient approach to generating nanobubbles, which are tiny gas-filled bubbles that exhibit unique and stable properties in water. Chemists Dr. Peter Kusalik and Dr. Susana Kimura Hara are leading the study to understand these bubbles' potential benefits across various fields, including agriculture, medicine, wastewater treatment, and more.

Nanobubbles are distinguished by their ability... Читать дальше...

Simpson-Bowles 2.0 Won’t Cut It, a BRAC-like Commission Has More Teeth

Cato Institute 

Simpson-Bowles ultimately fell victim to the very partisanship it was trying to rise above. If we’re going to get serious about fiscal reform, we need a different approach.

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Oct 17, 2024 - NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a vivid and captivating close-up of R Aquarii, a binary star system located about 700 light-years from Earth. The system's chaotic eruptions create vast spirals of glowing gas, resembling a frenzied lawn sprinkler, and showcase the universe's process of recycling nuclear material expelled by stars.

R Aquarii belongs to a category of double stars known as symbiotic stars. It features a red giant, which is over 400 times... Читать дальше...
