For the past 35 years, a series of rare radio signals from deep space, specifically from an object named GPM J1839–10, have consistently reached Earth every 22 minutes. This discovery, recently reported in Nature magazine, challenges current astrophysical understanding, as the object was previously thought to be a fleeting transient phenomenon. Initially identified during research on temporary space events like supernovae and asteroid flares, GPM J1839–10 exhibited unusual behaviors by appearing twice on the same night, prompting further investigation. Unlike typical transient objects, it emitted a weak, prolonged radio burst lasting between 30 and 300 seconds and displayed complex patterns…

Prada Group has acquired the fashion brand Versace from Capri Holdings for €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion), marking a significant move in the luxury fashion sector. Versace, known for its bold designs and iconic motifs, was seen as having untapped growth potential, according to Prada’s CMO Lorenzo Bateri. The acquisition is expected to close later this year and will be financed through €1.5 billion in new debt. Prada CEO Andrea Guerra emphasized the goal of fostering sustainable revenue growth and enhancing Versace’s brand identity rather than integrating operations. There will be no changes to Versace’s current leadership structure, with Donatella Versace…

During a recent City Council meeting, Portland Councillors Steve Novick, Angelita Morillo, and Jamie Dunphy discussed a contentious proposal to increase the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF) tax from 1% to 1.33% in order to generate approximately $66 million annually for the city’s general fund. This proposal has ignited controversy, particularly among residents who feel overtaxed and concerned about the potential departure of major companies from the city. Additionally, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has urged local governments to refrain from imposing new tax increases for the next three years. Councillor Candace Avalos, a supporter of the original PCEF tax, expressed…

Lori Vallow Daybell, currently on trial for the murder of her fourth husband, engaged in a contentious cross-examination of Nancy Joe Hancock, a woman who dated her late husband Charles Vallow shortly before his death. Representing herself, Vallow Daybell made snide remarks as Hancock recounted her interactions with Charles, whom she met on a church dating site in July 2019. Hancock testified that they communicated extensively via text and phone and that Charles expressed concerns about his safety, hinting at marital issues with Vallow Daybell. During the cross-examination, Vallow Daybell questioned Hancock about whether she verified Charles’ claims of divorce,…

The article discusses the impact of benzodiazepines (benzos), a class of prescription drugs used to treat anxiety, on wildlife, particularly aquatic creatures. When humans consume these medications, not all of it is absorbed, leading to traces being expelled into wastewater and ultimately finding their way into rivers, lakes, and oceans. This phenomenon results in fish, such as Atlantic salmon, unintentionally being exposed to human medications. Recent research published in Science examined the effects of the benzodiazepine crobazam on young Atlantic salmon in Sweden. It was found that salmon exposed to crobazam were more successful in migrating to the ocean compared…

China is advancing its lunar exploration efforts by utilizing lunar soil to create 3D-printed bricks, a crucial step towards establishing a lunar base. The Chang’e 8 spacecraft, scheduled for launch around 2028, aims to support the International Moonlight Research Institute (ILRS), signaling a significant leap in lunar habitation capabilities. The high costs of sending materials to the moon make on-site resource utilization, or using local materials, a practical solution to reduce expenses and enhance possibilities. Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program, announced the development of a device capable of producing bricks from lunar soil by concentrating solar…

On April 10, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a significant shift in drug development methodology, particularly for monoclonal antibody therapy. The new approach aims to replace animal testing with more efficient, human-relevant methods that enhance drug safety, expedite evaluation processes, lower research and development costs, and ultimately reduce drug prices. Key components of this initiative include the use of AI-based computational models, laboratory-grown organoid systems, and the incorporation of real-world safety data from other countries with similar regulatory standards. These methods, referred to as new approach methodologies (NAMs), are expected to diminish the reliance on animal…

Nat Cedillo, a 30-year-old aspiring intellectual property lawyer, exemplifies the life of a “supercommuter” as she travels between Mexico City and New York City to attend law school. After moving to Mexico late last year for a more affordable lifestyle, Cedillo has spent over $2,000 on round-trip flights, accommodations, and food during her 13-week semester, covering over 4,000 miles for classes at a top NYC agency. This trend of supercommuting has surged post-pandemic, with a 32% increase in long-distance commuters and an 89% rise specifically to New York. Many like Cedillo seek the benefits of New York City without the…
