Israeli forces intercepted a boat named Handala, attempting to break the maritime blockade of Gaza on Saturday night, towing it to Ashdod Port. The vessel, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, carried pro-Palestinian activists and limited humanitarian supplies. It had departed from Sicily and was intercepted about 100 km west of Gaza. Handala’s crew included 19 activists and two Al Jazeera journalists, who broadcast their situation live while singing the Italian anti-fascist song “Bella Ciao.” The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that all passengers were safe and indicated that the interception was necessary to maintain maritime security. The activists…

A quarter-sized device for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is generating excitement in wearable health technology. This small patch provides real-time insights into blood sugar levels, offering significant benefits for diabetics—more than 38 million Americans—who face serious health risks from high blood sugar. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emphasizes the empowerment such technology can offer in helping individuals manage their health. Though primarily designed for diabetics, the device is gaining traction among non-diabetics, driven by marketing efforts from notable figures. However, experts like Dr. Jody Duchey caution that evidence for its effectiveness in healthy individuals is minimal, warning that it…
Yankees captain Aaron Judge and a concerned New York fan base received good news after MRI results revealed he has a flexor strain in his right elbow but no acute ulnar collateral ligament damage. Judge, who is currently on the injured list, missed his second game of the season during a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. He has received platelet-rich plasma injections and hopes to return in 10 to 14 days as a designated hitter. Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed relief at the MRI results, noting that there were initial fears of a more serious injury. Judge felt pain during Tuesday’s…
On July 21, 2025, Delta Air Lines flight DL938, a Boeing 767-300 from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York (JFK), nearly faced a go-around during its final approach due to traffic congestion. The Delta crew was obstructed by a slower Embraer E175 from Brickyard Airlines, leading to tension between the flight crew and JFK Air Traffic Control (ATC). The approach controllers struggled with maintaining proper separation and timely speed allocations, prompting warnings from the JFK Tower about minimal intervals between the two planes. Although both landed safely, post-landing communications revealed frustrations. JFK controllers criticized the coordination and allocation of speeds,…
Experts highlight that “corn sweatshirts,” stemming from the natural process of evapotranspiration, can intensify the effects of extreme heat across much of the United States. According to specialists from Ohio State University, evapotranspiration involves plants transferring water from their roots to surfaces, which then evaporates, increasing local humidity. Bruno Basso, a sustainable agriculture professor at Michigan State University, explains that all vascular plants undergo this process, but it’s most pronounced in summer crops, especially corn. Corn plants are particularly efficient in releasing moisture, with large fields contributing thousands of gallons of water to the atmosphere daily, especially after rain. During…
The U.S. Coast Guard detected the Chinese research vessel Xue Long 2 approximately 290 nautical miles north of Utqiagvik, Alaska, on July 25, 2025. The ship, operated by China’s Polar Research Institute, was found within the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS), which the U.S. has exclusive rights to protect. The Coast Guard responded using a C-130J Hercules aircraft and emphasized its commitment to monitoring foreign vessels in U.S. waters. Canadian forces are also tracking Xue Long 2, confirming it is not in Canadian territory. This heightened vigilance follows recent incidents where Russian military planes were spotted near the Alaska coast,…

New experiments with networks of intertwined atomic clocks aim to explore the relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity, two fundamental theories of physics that currently do not integrate well. Quantum mechanics governs atomic and subatomic scales, while general relativity describes gravity as a curvature of space-time due to matter. Researchers, including Igor Pikovsky and colleagues, propose using atomic clocks in superposition across different locations to investigate how space-time curvature affects quantum phenomena. This involves testing gravitational effects on these clocks, which operate under different time flows due to their positions in Earth’s gravitational field. Despite the challenges of measuring…
David Ellison’s Skydance has gained significant control over Paramount Global, following a smooth federal approval process. As they establish leadership, there are ongoing changes, with some executives leaving while CBS’s George Cheeks remains.
