AGUANGA, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire fueled by gusty Santa Ana winds ripped through rural land southeast of Los Angeles on Monday, forcing about 4,000 people from their homes, fire authorities said. The so-called Highland Fire erupted at about 12:45 p.m. in dry, brushy hills near the unincorporated Riverside County hamlet of Aguanga.

"The importance of the far side impact was to produce seismic waves that traversed the deep interior of the planet, including the core. Previously, we had not observed any seismic waves that had transited the core. Unlike Mars, Earth has no molten layer around its core. One of the two studies published on Wednesday indicates this layer is fully molten, with the other indicating that most of it is fully molten, with the top portion partially molten. "We have learned a lot about Mars by studying the unique seismic record provided by the InSight mission," Samuel said.

Some of their sharpest exchanges during the televised debate, however, came when asked to lay out their stands on abortion. Their remarks, which took place about three weeks before the Nov. 7 election, came against the backdrop of Kentucky's current abortion law, which bans the procedure except when carried out to save a pregnant woman’s life or to prevent a disabling injury. Cameron went on the attack by pointing to Beshear’s opposition to abortion restrictions passed by the state’s GOP-dominated legislature. Beshear also made another pitch for his plan for state-funded pre-K for every 4-year-old in Kentucky. Beshear criticized Cameron for supporting a Republican-backed measure to award tax credits for donations supporting private school tuition.

But my husband didn't agree, and the conversation around life insurance kept dropping to the bottom of our to-do list. By the end of 2023, we both had to have life insurance coverage, no matter what.

The calf’s birth represents hope for a species threatened with extinction due to illegal poaching and habitat loss. An endangered female Sumatran rhino calf walks next to her mother at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary of Kambas National Park, Lampung, Indonesia on September 30. They are more closely related to extinct woolly rhinos than other rhino species and are covered in long hair. Sumatran rhinos typically live in dense tropical forest, both lowland and highland, on Sumatra and are generally solitary in nature, according to IRF. A 25-year-old female named Iman died of cancer on November 24, 2019 at the Borneo Rhino Sanctuary.

Barclays thinks electric vehicle maker Tesla 's third-quarter production and delivery numbers will be under pressure before recovering in the final three months of 2023. "While 3Q TSLA deliveries will likely be modest relative to recent results, we suspect that they will be sufficient to draw down inventory amid what appears to be an even sharper slowing of production," analyst Dan Levy wrote in a Friday note. Barclays expects Tesla deliveries for the third quarter to come at 455,000 units, falling short of consensus expectations of 463,000 units and Barclays' previous estimate of 483,000, according to the note. Levy called these numbers a "clear step back" from 480,000 deliveries in the second quarter and in-line output of 441,000 deliveries in the first quarter. TSLA YTD mountain Tesla stock.

All this combined together doesn't create much interest," said the 88-year old, who liked Queen Elizabeth and her horses. As part of the visit, Charles and Camilla will drive down the Champs-Elysees and view restoration works at the Notre-Dame cathedral following a massive blaze in 2019 that destroyed its roof. The trip is also a chance to rebuild ties that have been frayed by Britain's chaotic exit from the EU in 2020.

By Jennifer RigbyLONDON (Reuters) - Climate change and conflict are hitting efforts to tackle three of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, the head of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has warned. International initiatives to fight the diseases have largely recovered after being badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Fund’s 2023 results report released on Monday. But the increasing challenges of climate change and conflict mean the world is likely to miss the target of putting an end to AIDS, TB and malaria by 2030 without “extraordinary steps”, said Peter Sands, executive director of the Global Fund. The Fund also helped put 24.5 million people on antiretroviral therapy for HIV, and distributed 220 million mosquito nets. For example, malaria is spreading to highland parts of Africa that were previously too cold for the mosquito carrying the disease-causing parasite.

Cajamarca, Peru Reuters —Archaeologists in northern Peru have unearthed a 3,000-year-old tomb which they believe might have honored an elite religious leader in the Andean country some three millennia ago. Two seals were also found along the upper edges of the tomb, one with an anthropomorphic face looking east and another with a jaguar design facing west. Archaeologists hold pieces of pottery from the tomb, which also contained decorated ceramic bowls and seals indicating ancient ritual body paint used for people of elite standing. “Though this person is a man, the associations are very peculiar,” said Seki. Last year’s find of the “Priest of the Pututos,” however, is believed to be older.
