☆ The US Navy figured out how to reload its missile ships at sea, preparing for possible conflict with China
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( Thibault Spirlet | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

AdvertisementThe US Navy has developed a new way of reloading warships with missiles while at sea. It will be "critical" to any future conflict in the Pacific, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said. "Without the ability to rearm at sea, our service combatants must return to port, sometimes thousands of miles away," Del Toro said at the time. Del Toro said the US Navy expected to start deploying TRAM within the next two to three years. In a speech at Columbia University in December 2022, Del Toro said delivering the "game-changing" capability to rearm US warships at sea was one of his top priorities.

The city is two hours south of Paris and has incredible holiday markets, shops, and food. Bordeaux has great wine and is a day trip away from famous spots like Saint-Émilion or Margaux. That's why I now prefer to go to Bordeaux, the wine capital of the world, during the busy winter season. At less than half the size of Paris, Bordeaux gets a fraction of its millions of tourists a year, which makes it the perfect place to enjoy French esprit de Noël without feeling overwhelmed.

☆ Inside the Quest to Make Fusion Energy a Reality

The Quest to Build a Star on Earth Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. Today’s fusion start-ups aren’t just preparing for this moment in the lab. Such advances helped the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory produce more fusion energy than the energy in the incoming laser beams, for the briefest of moments, in 2022. They also helped European researchers generate record amounts of fusion energy at a facility in Britain last year. What worries researchers is how much some fusion start-ups are promising, and how soon.

Edsall was found 200 miles east of Christmas Island, south of Java, by the Royal Australian Navy. Edsall served valiantly during WWII, most notably in the early Pacific campaign. The Australian navy made the surprise discovery while conducting an unrelated and unspecified mission in the area. Its staff used "advanced robotic and autonomous systems normally used for hydrographic survey capabilities to locate the U.S.S.

He filmed videos of himself torturing dogs to death and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms, the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory in Australia heard. The “unalloyed pleasure” Britton took in torturing the animals was “sickeningly evident,” the BBC quoted Grant as saying.

To understand how hens visibly express emotion, researchers spent four weeks on a French farm observing 17 hens of two different breeds, Bertin said, filming their routine behaviors and their reactions to different stimuli. Researchers observed 17 hens on a French farm. INRAE Arnould BertinTo make their more general conclusions, researchers extracted images from every two seconds of film and selected ones that featured the hen in profile to best study them. Although researchers weren’t able to explain the mechanism by which hens blush in this study, they concluded that the cheeks and ear lobes were more revealing of the birds’ emotions than their comb or wattles. Building on the results of this study, Bertin hopes to investigate whether these displays of emotion are linked to the hens’ social interactions, as well the implications for animal welfare.
