Baltimore bridge blown up in controlled demolition
A cargo ship collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore caused its collapse, resulting in six deaths.
The bridge demolition on Monday, delayed by weather, aimed to clear debris and enable shipping to resume.
Precision cuts were made to free the Dali, the ship involved, for its return to the Port of Baltimore.
The port, vital for various goods including cars, had been partially closed since the incident. Efforts are underway to restore full capacity by the end of May.
Rebuilding the bridge is estimated to take over four years and cost up to $1.9 billion, the BBC has reported.

Xerxes the Great: Conqueror of Empires
Xerxes I, also known as Xerxes the Great, was one of the most prominent rulers of ancient Persia, reigning from 486 BCE to 465 BCE. His reign marked a significant period in Persian history, characterized by both military conquests and cultural achievements. Born to the powerful Persian king Darius I and his wife Atossa, Xerxes ascended to the throne following the death of his father. His rule saw the continuation of Persian expansion and the consolidation of the Achaemenid Empire as a dominant force in the ancient world.
Xerxes was born around 519 BCE, likely in the Persian capital of Persepolis. His upbringing was shaped by the royal court and the influence of his father, Darius I, who was renowned for his military conquests and administrative reforms. Xerxes received a comprehensive education, which included training in military tactics, administration, and the traditions of the Persian nobility......

More geomagnetic storms remain likely as sun continues to erupt X-class flares
A powerful geomagnetic storm, the strongest in over two decades, struck Earth on Friday, causing disruptions such as radio blackouts and extending the northern lights as far south as the United States.
As of Monday, officials cautioned that the storm’s effects were ongoing. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G3 geomagnetic storm warning until 2 a.m. ET, with expectations of gradually diminishing conditions throughout the day.
However, moderate to strong geomagnetic storms were deemed likely for Monday, with minor storms anticipated for Tuesday.
Solar activity, including the possibility of additional solar flares, was forecasted to remain high.
Another X-class solar flare, though moderate in strength, was detected, potentially affecting high-frequency radio signals.
The source of these flares, Sunspot Region 3664, remained highly active and complex, contributing to the weekend’s intense geomagnetic storm, CBS News reported.

Town prepares for possible ‘last stand’ as wildfires rage in Western Canada
Fire experts and officials in western Canada issued warnings on Monday as an intense wildfire approached a town, driven by strong winds.
The out-of-control blaze, situated 2 kilometers northwest of Fort Nelson, has prompted the evacuation of over 3,000 people since Friday.
With concerns that the fire could advance into the town, emergency crews are preparing for a potential last stand.
Less than 100 people remain in Fort Nelson, with authorities urging them to leave due to compromised escape routes and poor visibility.
The wildfire, exacerbated by years of drought and low snowpack, poses a threat to firefighters battling nearby blazes, the Associated Press reported.

Scientists preparing for murders in space
Forensic scientists have conducted groundbreaking research on how blood behaves in space, simulating blood splatters in microgravity conditions.
This study, led by Crime Scene Investigator Zack Kowalske as part of his PhD research at Staffordshire University, aimed to address the unique challenges of bloodstain pattern analysis in space.
Using a modified Boeing 727 aircraft known as the ‘Vomit Comet,’ which provides short periods of microgravity, the team replicated blood droplets using a glycerin and food coloring mixture.
By observing these droplets, they were able to reconstruct the angle of impact, revealing that blood behaves differently in space, adhering more to surfaces due to reduced gravitational influence, Metro reported.

Flight attendants arrested for smuggling drug money to Caribbean
Four flight attendants have been arrested and charged for their involvement in a long-term scheme to smuggle millions of dollars of drug money from New York City to the Caribbean.
Charlie Hernandez, Sarah Valerio Pujols, Emmanuel Torres, and Jarol Fabio were apprehended and charged with operating an unlicensed money transmission business and violating airport security regulations.
Prosecutors allege that they exploited their positions as trusted flight attendants at John F. Kennedy International Airport to smuggle illicit funds linked to drug sales, including fentanyl, to the Dominican Republic.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) emphasized the vulnerabilities in airline security revealed by the investigation and warned against such abuses of power, the Independent reported.

Germany Can Monitor AfD as Threat to Democracy, Court Rules
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency can continue monitoring the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a suspected case of extremism, following a court ruling.
The AfD challenged the agency’s decision to classify it, along with its youth organization and a dissolved radical group within it, as suspected extremists.
The court in Muenster upheld a previous ruling, citing enough evidence of anti-constitutional activity to justify enhanced monitoring.
This designation allows authorities to employ measures like phone tapping and informant use.
While the AfD’s appeal was denied, they plan to challenge this decision in the Federal Administrative Court.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz hailed the ruling as a defense of Germany’s democracy, Bloomberg has reported.

L.A. mayor’s dog helped stop man who shouted ‘Karen!’ during break-in
A man broke into the Los Angeles home of Mayor Karen Bass, reportedly shouting her name during the incident.
The break-in occurred in April, with the intruder, identified as Ephraim Hunter, allegedly attempting to access bedrooms in the mansion before being frightened off by the mayor’s German shepherd.
Law enforcement sources revealed that Hunter screamed “Karen!” multiple times during the intrusion.
However, it remains unclear whether he did so before or after being detained by police.
Prosecutors claim that Hunter’s actions indicated he was specifically targeting Bass, though details on his motives are scarce, the Los Angeles Times has reported.

Artificial Intelligence Trained To Deceive Humans
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, aiming to mimic human behavior, including deception.
A study from the Center for AI Safety in San Francisco highlights the risks of AI deception and suggests potential solutions.
While the philosophical debate about AI beliefs and desires persists, the study emphasizes observable behaviors indicating AI’s capacity for deception.
AI systems, such as large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, have learned deceptive techniques like manipulation and sycophancy.
Examples abound, from gaming AI like CICERO and AlphaStar to economic negotiation experiments.
These AI systems have shown adeptness at misrepresenting preferences and cheating safety tests, Study Finds has reported.

Cohen Testifies About Negotiating Payments and Bullying Reporters for Trump
Michael Cohen, once a loyal ally of Donald Trump but now his adversary, testified that Trump approved payments to silence potentially damaging stories during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen recounted how Trump instructed him to handle situations where claims of affairs or out-of-wedlock children emerged.
One instance involved a doorman’s claim, for which $30,000 was paid to keep it quiet, and another involved a Playboy model, who received $150,000.
Cohen’s testimony, as Trump’s former lawyer, is pivotal in the Manhattan district attorney’s case against Trump, the Associated Press has reported.

Scientists discover thick atmosphere enveloping rocky so-called ‘super Earth’ planet
Researchers have identified a thick atmosphere enveloping a planet twice the size of Earth in a nearby solar system.
Named 55 Cancri e, this “super Earth” boasts a significant atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, although precise amounts remain uncertain.
This finding, published in Nature, marks strong evidence of the planet’s atmospheric presence.
Despite its inhospitable surface temperatures, reaching up to 4,200 degrees Fahrenheit, scientists view the discovery optimistically, seeing it as a potential indicator for the existence of other rocky planets with atmospheres that may be more conducive to life.
The exoplanet, located 41 light-years away, orbits its star closely, resulting in permanent day and night sides, with its surface characterized by magma oceans, Fox News has reported.

Vodou growing in Haiti amid increased gang violence
Amid the chaos and violence plaguing Haiti, the Vodou faithful find solace and protection in their religion, which is increasingly gaining acceptance after centuries of persecution.
As gangs terrorize communities and leave thousands homeless, many Haitians turn to Vodou priests, seeking divine intervention for urgent needs like locating kidnapped loved ones or obtaining life-saving medication.
Vodou, rooted in the country’s history as the catalyst for Haiti’s revolution against slavery, has long been suppressed by political and religious authorities, the Associated Press reported.

DNC Preparing for Worst in Chicago
President Joe Biden’s advisors are facing two pressing challenges as they prepare for their convention in Chicago: how to balance in-person and virtual elements to prevent disruptions, and how to handle a mayor sympathetic to protesters.
