☆ Rare lunar event may reveal Stonehenge’s link with the moon
  + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
The lunar standstill is when the northernmost and southernmost moonrise and moonset are farthest apart. Stonehenge's station stones are thought by some to be aligned with the lunar standstill. Ruggles said that Stonehenge’s station stones, which form a rectangle around the circle, roughly align with the moon’s extreme positions during the lunar standstill. However, it’s much more difficult to say whether Stonehenge really has a connection to the lunar standstill.

A man holding a child walks across a damaged bridge after the rains and floods brought by remnants of Typhoon Doksuri, in Zhuozhou, Hebei province, China August 7, 2023.

Local authorities set up cordons to allow drainage work on some roads, while the city dispatched nearly 3,900 police to help. In Huozhou city in the northern province of Shanxi, some low-lying houses faced stagnant water breaches, as floods from heavy rain trapped some residents in their buildings, the broadcaster said.

☆ Yellen calls on G20 to boost aid for food insecurity, offers debt freeze
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Andrea Shalal | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
She also called on G20 countries to increase financial aid to initiatives such as the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program, to which Washington just gave $155 million, and to avoid all food export restrictions. The United States had announced nearly $10 billion in assistance this year to provide critical support to food-insecure countries, Yellen said. She said G20 members should urge international financial institutions to continue implementing commitments made in their Action Plan to Tackle Food Insecurity. Washington would also support temporary debt service standstills for countries that needed debt relief and sought help under the G20 Common Framework adopted in late 2020, she said.
