A fusion reactor in southern France achieved a significant milestone toward clean, limitless energy. The fusion reactor, WEST, created a super-hot plasma and sustained it for a record-breaking 6 minutes. AdvertisementA fusion reactor in southern France, called WEST, just achieved an important milestone that brings us one step closer to clean, sustainable, nearly limitless energy. Fusion energy is more powerful than any form of energy we have today. Commercial fusion energy is still likely decades away, but Delgado-Aparicio thinks they're making steps toward "this big goal of giving energy to humankind."

☆ Indigenous Latino L.A. residents feel hurt, betrayed by racist remarks
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +7 min

But the disparaging remarks still deeply hurt the city’s immigrants from Oaxaca, which has one of Mexico’s large indigenous populations. Both growing up in their homeland and after reaching the U.S., they say they’ve become accustomed to hearing such stinging comments — not only from non-Latinos but from lighter skinned Mexican immigrants and their descendants. Martinez used a disparaging term for the Black son of a white council member and called immigrants from Oaxaca ugly. Los Angeles is home to the country’s largest Mexican population and nearly half the city of 4 million people is Latino, census figures show. Informal studies indicate several hundred thousand Oaxacan immigrants live in California, with the largest concentration in Los Angeles, said Gaspar Rivera-Salgado, director of the University of California, Los Angeles Center for Mexican Studies.

Some may want to see the explosive, racist diatribes of a handful of prominent Los Angeles City Council members as an unfortunate incident that will eventually fade away. But the reality is that such prejudice from Latino to Latino and Latino to other racial groups is not so uncommon. That was on stark display in the conversation among former Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, council members Kevin De León and Gil Cedillo and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera, who resigned Monday. "If you’re going to talk about Latino districts, what kind of districts are you trying to create?” she asks her colleagues in frustration. Zapotecs, or Indigenous people of Oaxacan descent, number about 200,000 in Los Angeles County, one of the largest Oaxacan communities outside Mexico.

☆ 20 de copii din Spania au păr pe tot corpul, după ce li s-a administrat un medicament greșit
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-03 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +2 min

Aproximativ 20 de copii spanioli au păr pe tot corpul, după ce li s-a administrat din greșeală un produs pentru creșterea părului, în loc de un medicament pentru dureri de stomac, notează Daily Mail, citat de libertatea.ro. Mai multe fotografii prezintă câțiva copii care locuiesc în orașul Torrelavega din regiunea nordică a Spaniei, Cantabria, având pielea acoperită de păr. Medicamentul sub formă de sirop a fost etichetat greșit și a fost livrat farmaciilor din Granada, Cantabria și Valencia. ”De ce durează mai mult de două luni pentru a testa un medicament?” , a întrebat, la postul Antena 3 din Spania, Amaia, o mamă al cărei copil a fost afectat. Femeia a adăugat că fiica ei a luat o doză mare de medicamente și că nimeni nu a sunat la momentul respectiv pentru a o sfătui ce pași trebuie urmați pentru a remedia greșeala.
