The research, published on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances , assessed peculiar glass beads formed on the Moon that point to key craters created on the lunar surface by high-velocity meteorite impacts. Scientists, including those from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, say the findings shed more light on the range of space rock collisions that bodies in the inner Solar System endure. Analysing the silicate glass beads, researchers could open a window into the history of meteorite impacts on the Moon. They analysed 215 silicate glass samples taken from the Moon during the Chinese space agency’s … [Read more...] about Dinosaur-killing asteroid strike on Earth coincided with space rock impacts on Moon, study suggests

All these people on strike must accept that, because the economy has gone haywire, those who caused the problem have to cut back a bit. For example, a few weeks ago the pound crashed after a crazy budget so we had to find 50 billion quid to save it. Who caused that? Firefighters , that’s who. They made it collapse by spending all the country’s money on solid gold ladders and insisting they could only hose down burning buildings with Prosecco. Then postal workers insisted all their sacks were made by Gucci. Liz Truss begged them to stop, but they wouldn’t listen so it’s only fair they should take a pay cut. Before that we lost £20billion on a test and trace system that didn’t work, and it’s obvious who was to blame for that – ambulance drivers. The system was in a lovely package in pretty wrapping paper with bunny rabbits on it. But ambulance drivers mistook it for a man who’d had a heart attack . So they shoved it in the ambulance and the paramedics gave it CPR, … [Read more...] about ‘Striking firefighters and ambulance workers get blamed for the mess Tories got us in’

In Albany, an outbreak of the coronavirus erupted among nurses and patients in the cancer unit of a hospital. Across the state, nurses at hospitals in the Buffalo area bought their own masks and face shields out of concern about the quality of supplies in stock. And when an emergency room nurse in New Rochelle began her shift, she was asked to care for 15 patients, after her co-workers called out sick. The accounts recall the early days of the pandemic, when the virus ravaged New York — but these scenes took place over the past several weeks. Nurses and other health care workers in the state have begun to warn about the conditions in hospitals, as virus patients are checking in at an alarming rate. “We’re worse off in some ways than we were in the beginning,” said Shalon Matthews, an emergency room nurse in New Rochelle. “We need staff, we need help, we need resources. I’m fearful for my patients and I’m fearful that the same thing that happened back in March, it’s … [Read more...] about Nurses Are Anxious and Angry in 2nd Wave: ‘We’re Not Prepared’

WASHINGTON - President Biden and former president Donald Trump may have each drawn a record number of votes in 2020, but at this early stage in the 2024 election cycle, Americans show little enthusiasm for a rematch between the two well-known yet unpopular leaders, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. Neither Biden nor Trump generate broad excitement within their own party, and most Americans overall say they would feel dissatisfied or angry if either wins the general election. Biden, who has said he intends to seek reelection, has no current opposition for the Democratic nomination. Trump is likely to face at least several challengers in his bid to lead his party for a third consecutive election. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, the Post-ABC poll finds 58 percent say they would prefer someone other than Biden as their nominee in 2024 - almost double the 31 percent who support Biden. That is statistically unchanged since last September. Among … [Read more...] about Few Americans are excited about a Biden-Trump rematch, Post-ABC poll finds

Naftali Bennett, the Prime Minister of Israel towards the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, says the West “blocked” a ceasefire he was helping to broker early in the war. Bennett, who was prime minister and then alternate prime minister in Israel during a confusing period of coalition politics prior to the return of Benjamin Netanyahu as head of government in December, said that “there was a good chance of reaching a ceasefire” before the Western powers “curbed” negotiations in a wide-ranging interview uploaded to YouTube. Israel is one of a number of states traditionally seen as being aligned with the West, along with the likes of India and Turkey , which have played little or no part in efforts to support Ukraine militarily or engage in the sanctions war with Russia, with Bennett explaining that while “the Americans expect… that we all rally for Ukraine” this would not necessarily have been in Israel’s interests. By way of example, Bennett … [Read more...] about Western Powers ‘Blocked’ Ceasefire Early in Ukraine War: Israeli Ex-PM

LOS ANGELES, California — L.A. held a massive outdoor memorial Saturday for P-22, a mountain lion that became famous for living in the hills above Hollywood and was euthanized in December after being hit by a car. People arrive for a memorial for the famed mountain lion P-22 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on February 4, 2023. – Los Angeles residents and animal lovers remembered the city’s most famous feline who died on December 18, 2022. (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP) (Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) As Breitbart News reported late last year: Officials euthanized the famous and beloved mountain lion known as P-22 on Saturday morning, after deciding that the cat’s injuries from a recent apparent collision with a car were too painful and difficult to survive. The mountain lion, known to inhabit the hills of Griffith Park, and occasionally seen on cameras mounted on forest trails or driveways, had become a celebrated part of local folklore over … [Read more...] about PHOTOS: L.A.

If you're a higher-level manager or executive, you may be more used to figuring out who to fire or how to deliver the blow than being on the receiving end of a redundancy. This can make it a daunting experience, especially if you've climbed the ladder at one company and haven't been on the job search for a long time (maybe never). It's easy to fall into negativity under these circumstances, but there's one thing you should be focusing on: Showcasing your value. Here's how to navigate the process — inside your own head, in the physical world and online. Take Some Time To Reflect A job search is a marathon and not a sprint. The average length of unemployment in the U.S. is over 20 weeks , which is around five months. You might think being at a more senior point in your career would accelerate this process, but having a specific set of skills and interests can make things more complex and, therefore, more time-consuming. Since you can't expect to fire out a few applications and … [Read more...] about How To Navigate Showcasing Your Value After Being Laid Off

After a fabulous start to their SAFF U-20 Women’s Championship campaign, India were held to a goalless draw by Bangladesh on Sunday. It was a close contest from the opening exchanges, with India creating more chances despite a deluge of midfield traffic.

Chakma was again called into action around the quarter-hour mark when Sunita Munda flicked a Shubhangi Singh cross with her head. Shubhangi was accurate with her set pieces and thought she had helped India take the lead on the half-hour mark when Kajol tapped her delivery in, but the referee had deemed the delivery to have gone out of play before curling in.
