‘World’s largest’ vacuum system launched; aims to extract climate pollution from air

‘World’s largest’ vacuum system launched; aims to extract climate pollution from air

Science & Technology, World News
The “world’s largest” plant designed to suck planet-heating pollution out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum began operating in Iceland on Wednesday. “Mammoth” is the second commercial direct air capture plant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021. Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the carbon using chemicals. The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products. Climeworks plans to transport the carbon underground where it will be naturally transformed into stone, locking up the carbon permanently. It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called sequestra...
Mbappé suffers the final failure of PSG

Mbappé suffers the final failure of PSG

Sports, World News
SOURCE: US NEWS UPDATE PSG remains one level below the elite. They have lost all four games of their two-legged Champions League semi-finals in the QSI era, against Manchester City in 2020-21 and now against Dortmund in 2023-24. This failure will hurt him especially, since he failed to score against the fifth-place team in the Bundesliga despite having made 44 shots in two games. It is the most shots a team has taken without scoring in a two-legged Champions League tie since Opta records began in 2003-04. They hit the post six times in the tie, four of them in the second half in Paris. Warren Zaire-Emery was penalized for attempting to hit the post with the goal open while Mats Hummels headed home to score for Dortmund shortly after. Nuno Mendes hit the post from distance, befo...

New York Medical school eliminates tuition after $1bn gift

New York Medical school eliminates tuition after $1bn gift

Education, World News
A New York City medical school will offer students free tuition following a $1bn donation from the 93-year-old widow of a major Wall Street investor. The gift to Albert Einstein College of Medicine came from Dr Ruth Gottesman, a former professor at the Bronx school. It is one of the largest ever donations made to a US school and is the largest ever made to a medical school. The Bronx, New York City's poorest borough, is ranked as the unhealthiest of New York's 62 counties. In a statement, university dean Dr Yaron Yomer said that the "transformational" gift "radically revolutionises our ability to continue attracting students who are committed to our mission, not just those who can afford it". Tuition at the school is nearly $59,000 each year, leaving students with substantia...

Russian opposition leader Navalny has died, prison service says

World News
Russia's most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said. Seen as President Vladimir Putin's most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term on charges widely considered politically motivated. He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year. The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday. He had "almost immediately lost consciousness", it said in a statement, adding that an emergency medical team had immediately been called and tried to resuscitate him but without success. "The emergency doctors declared the prisoner dead. Cause of death is being established." Navalny's ...
In Honour Of Our Kinsman Redeemer, Apostle Dr. Michael Ntumy

In Honour Of Our Kinsman Redeemer, Apostle Dr. Michael Ntumy

Ghana News, Pentecost News, World News
I was called into full-time ministry of The Church of Pentecost when Apostle Dr. Michael Kwabena Ntumy assumed the chairmanship position of the Church and was posted to Kete Krachi, his hometown. Each time he returned home, as the then District Overseer, I became his personal assistant, running errands for him and looking after his welfare. I am truly distraught to hear about the passing of my bosom kinsman, Apostle Dr. M. K. Ntumy. It is with a somber heart and a reflective mind that I remember the profound legacy he leaves behind. His life was a testament to the values of selflessness, humility, and kindness that he embodied every day. Dr. Ntumy was a close collaborator to all, though a chairman. His visits to Krachi were not merely official trips; they were homecomings filled with...
