Man finds 102 venomous snakes in backyard Man finds 102 venomous snakes in backyard A man was left with “shivers” after he found 102 venomous snakes right in the backyard of his western Sydney home. David Stein called in for back-up after he found about six red-bellied snakes on a mulch pile in his Horsley Park backyard last week. “I saw a pile of snakes on the mulch pile … which gave me the shivers,” Mr Stein told Sunrise. “By the time I got my camera, they went into the pile of mulch. “It was terrifying.” Camera IconDavid Stein called in catchers after he found about six red-bellied snakes on a mulch pile in his backyard. Sunrise. Credit: Channel 7 After Mr Stein’s wife discovered female snakes tend to congregate when preparing to give birth, the couple called in snake catchers from Reptile Relocation Sydney. Reptile Relocation Sydney owner Corey Kerewaro told NewsWire snake catcher Dylan Cooper was sent out, only to discover 102 snakes lurking in the mulch. “Within a few minutes, we knew this was going to be unusual,” the business posted to Facebook. “Snake after snake, they just kept being uncovered.” Red-bellied snakes are venomous, with the *********** Museum reporting nausea, vomiting, headaches, abdominal pain and muscle pain and weakness as some symptoms of being bitten by one. Mr Kerewaro said it was the “most venomous snakes in the one spot at the one time” he’d heard of. “Pretty bizarre,” Mr Kerewaro said. “In nature it’d be really common, it’s just that we physically don’t see it — we’re just the lucky ones that come across it.” He said the mulch pile would have been “perfect conditions” for the snakes, who had likely been there about a month. Mr Kerewaro said there were about 36 babies and four adults in the pile, with the number being taken up to 102 after some of the snakes gave birth after they were caught. “They do give birth to quite a high number of babies,” he said. “The chance of survival of those babies are very, very low.” He urged people to be “snake aware” and not to “mess” with snakes. “They’re not bad as long as people are snake aware and they don’t mess with them,” he said. “If it’s up around the house and you do want to remove them … call a catcher and get some advice.” Source link #Man #finds #venomous #snakes #backyard Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Popular Tri-Cities marina out of options. It will be torn down to help salmon Popular Tri-Cities marina out of options. It will be torn down to help salmon Customers of the Columbia Park Marina have been notified that the marina will be decommissioned and removed this year, after no option to save it could be found. The Army Corps of Engineers announced plans in October to remove the earthen causeway just west of the marina at a cost of $13.2 million to restore free flowing water and help salmon. The causeway provides a walking trail — the only land access — to Bateman Island. But it also creates warm slack water. Conditions there are ideal for nonnative fish, such as small mouth bass, to prey on young salmon migrating toward the ocean in the spring. The Columbia Park Marina near Bateman Island is on the Columbia River. Removing the causeway to allow water from the Yakima River to flow around the south side of the island would change water flow downstream. “With no provisions to protect the marina after the causeway has been removed, the vessels moored in the marina, the dock structures and fueling system will be vulnerable to damage with changing currents, water levels, and ice and debris that would flow through the marina,” Amy Ford, the managing owner of Columbia Park Marina, told customers in a letter dated Friday. A Corps environmental study said faster water could be particularly harmful for the marina’s overnight storage, which is farther from the shoreline. The marina has space for about 106 boats and offers overnight stays of up to five days. A plan to breach the causeway to the island to allow the Yakima River to flow around Bateman Island is forcing closure of the longtime marina. Former owners Lynne and Bev Koehler rebuilt the marina in about 1994 after a windstorm had destroyed it 20 years earlier. Greg and Amy Ford purchased the marina from the Koehlers in 2010, planning it as a long-term retirement investment. The notice the Fords sent to customers said they “realize the value that the marina provides to the Tri-City community, and we send this letter with a heavy heart.” Amy Ford told the Tri-City Herald that they had no immediate plans on what they will do next. Causeway to stand until next winter Army Corps land in the area is leased for parks and recreational use to the city of Richland under a 50-year agreement that expires in 2054. The city then subleases to the Fords, currently month-to-month based on terms allowed by the federal government. Fueling dock at the Columbia Park Marina is located at 1776 Columbia Park Trail near Bateman Island on the Columbia River. A plan to breach the causeway to the island to allow the Yakima River to flow around the island is forcing closure of the longtime marina. Discussion between the Fords and government officials on how to save the marina if the causeway is removed have been held for several years with no solution found. The final environmental study said that protecting the marina would have no benefit for endangered salmon and was not included as part of the recommended plan for removal of the causeway. Tenants of the marina have been told that their leases will end March 31 and they have until May 1 to remove their belongings from their slips. A plan to breach the causeway to the island to allow the Yakima River to flow around the island is forcing closure of the longtime marina. The Army Corps expects to begin design work to remove the causeway in about June. The start of removal of the causeway is not expected to be done before next winter when few, if any, juvenile salmon are present. A 2004 study by the Corps with the city of Richland proposed providing a bridge to replace the causeway, but federal and state officials said that would be expensive and there were concerns that digging to build the structure could interfere with Native American cultural resources. Native Americans have used the island since at least 16,000 years ago, according to the most recent Corps study. The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1805 documents that the island was used then by Native Americans for drying fish. Covered docks at the Columbia Park Marina are at 1776 Columbia Park Trail near Bateman Island on the Columbia River. Causeway impact on salmon The causeway, which is 500 feet long and 40 feet wide, was built of earth in the 1940s for agricultural access. Rock riprap has been added since then. Issues it created in the Yakima River delta were compounded when the McNary Dam downstream on the Columbia River was completed in 1957. Now the causeway blocks water flow south of the island, leading to water temperatures as warm as 86 degrees for sustained periods on the south and west side of the island and peak temperatures of about 90 degrees. A plan to breach the causeway to the island will allow the Yakima River to flow around the island but led to closure of the longtime marina. Several salmon stocks have recently been reintroduced upriver in the Yakima, including coho, spring chinook, summer chinook and sockeye, but they must navigate the delta on their journey to and from the Pacific Ocean. Not only does the slow, warm water provide ideal conditions for nonnative fish to prey on juvenile salmon in the spring, it also may prevent adult salmon from entering the Yakima River to spawn until later in the fall when water temperatures drop. Or they might continue up the Columbia River to overwinter, with just a few still entering the Yakima River the following spring, according to the most recent environmental study. Removing the causeway also could improve habitat and migration conditions for lamprey as the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation work to restore the species as a culturally important food. The stagnant and shallow backwater south of Bateman Island also encourages algal blooms and stargrass, which causes daily fluctuations of dissolved oxygen. Salmon are more sensitive to oxygen concentrations that warmer water predatory fish.

EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights likely to close EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights likely to close More employees of the Environmental Protection Agency were informed Wednesday that their jobs appear in doubt. Senior leadership at the EPA held an all-staff meeting to tell individuals that President Trump’s executive order, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” which was responsible for the closure of the agency’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office, will likely lead to the shuttering of the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights as well. Employees of the EPA’s DEI office were placed on administrative leave on Jan. 22, once the executive order went into effect. Staffers with the Office of Environmental Justice were informed their department is expecting a similar written notice as early as Thursday, but it was unclear if all employees will also go on administrative leave or be immediately terminated. CBS News has reached out to the EPA for comment. The Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights supports the EPA’s efforts to address vulnerable communities that the agency has determined have been disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and ensure they have equitable access to a healthy environment, as well as enforce federal civil rights laws. “There were a lot of rumors all day,” said Matthew Tejada, who was the deputy assistant administrator at the Office of Environmental Justice for over a decade before departing the EPA in Dec. 2023. “The staff is freaked out and anxious.” A current EPA staff member in the environmental justice office, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said senior leadership held a two-and-a-half hour call on Wednesday to discuss the logistics of the order, but said managers would not have many details to share until the official notice is issued. Many on the call were confused and concerned. EPA staffers already received the Office of Personnel Management’s “Fork in the Road” email, which offered deferred resignations to anyone who agreed to leave their position by Feb. 6. But this individual received an email warning that they could be immediately terminated because of their probationary status as an employee with less than a year in their current role — which was created under an Inflation Reduction Act temporary program with a two-year probationary *******. It’s unclear if they will be eligible for administrative leave, or be immediately dismissed. Roughly 250 people work for the Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights Office at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and 10 regional offices across the country. The news was especially distressing for Tejada, who worked with many of the staff during his time leading the office, “I hired all of them,” he said. Tejada, now the senior vice president of environmental health at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said, “Shuttering the environmental justice office will mean more toxic contaminants, dangerous air and unsafe water in communities across the nation that have been most harmed by pollution in the past.” Tracy J. Wholf Tracy J. Wholf is a senior coordinating producer of climate and environmental coverage for CBS News and Stations, based in New York.

Oscar Allen: West Coast Eagles skipper says he’s ‘not sure what the future lies’ amid rival clubs’ interest Oscar Allen: West Coast Eagles skipper says he’s ‘not sure what the future lies’ amid rival clubs’ interest Out-of-contract West Coast co-captain Oscar Allen has refused to be drawn into speculation around his future as rival clubs ramp up their pursuit of the superstar forward. Allen looms as one of the highest-profile free agents this year. A new Eagles deal is seemingly a significant way off, with the club and Allen’s management at an impasse despite elongated negotiations. Reigning premiers Brisbane are one of several rival clubs interested in the 25-year-old as they look for a long-term replacement for retired forward Joe Daniher. Allen is believed to be in discussions with the Eagles but his manager is also fielding calls from others clubs around a long-term deal for the West Perth product. The forward is a restricted free agent, meaning the West Coast can match any offer during free agent ******* later this year in October. When asked about his future, Allen expressed his desire to be at the Eagles but remained non-committal. “I grew up in Western Australia and I’m really fortunate to be alongside Duggo (Liam Duggan) as the co-captain of the footy club,” Allen told AFL.com.au. “I clearly love the football club and I’m sure things will get worked out. “It’s probably something you don’t really think about when you’re playing. You’re kind of just head in the sand trying to get better and improve everyday. “I’m not sure what the future lies, but I have really enjoyed and still enjoy my time at the footy club. “That’s why guys have managers I suppose, so they can look after those issues for you.” It is believed Allen’s main priority at the moment is captaining the club through the transition under new coach Andrew McQualter. Camera IconWill Oscar Allen remain at West Coast? Credit: Steve Bell/Getty Images McQualter said he was confident Allen would re-sign with the Eagles. “This is what our industry is now with free agency,” McQualter told 6PR. “We’re really confident (he’ll stay). Oscar loves our football club, we love Oscar. “We’re confident something will get done in the not-too-distant future.” Allen has kicked 139 goals in 93 games, including a standout 2023 season when he booted 53 goals in 23 games to establish himself as one of the premier goalkickers in the AFL. A knee injury restricted Allen to only 20 goals in 11 games in his first season as co-captain alongside Duggan, but a five-goal outing in a win over North Melbourne in Hobart in round 22 reminded everyone of his immense talent.

Judge blocks Sandy Hook families’ settlement in Alex Jones’ bankruptcy: ‘I can’t do that’ Judge blocks Sandy Hook families’ settlement in Alex Jones’ bankruptcy: ‘I can’t do that’ A US bankruptcy judge on Wednesday blocked a settlement between families who have sued Alex Jones over his false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, saying their attempt to divide the bankrupt conspiracy theorist’s assets exceeded his court’s authority. The decision complicates a proposed ***** of Jones’ Infowars platform, and could spur divisions between families who sued Jones and won nearly $1.3 billion in Connecticut court cases and those who won $50 million in Texas courts. The two groups of families had proposed a settlement that would guarantee the Texas families a 25% share of Jones’ future payments made to the Sandy Hook families, with the Connecticut families taking 75%. The two groups of families had proposed a settlement that would guarantee the Texas families a 25% share of Alex Jones’ future payments made to the Sandy Hook families, with the Connecticut families taking 75%. REUTERS US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez rejected the settlement at a hearing in Houston, saying the families were asking him to also divide up the assets of Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, despite the fact that the company had been dismissed from bankruptcy last year. “I can’t do that,” Lopez said. “That case is closed.” Courts in Connecticut and Texas, where some of the families filed their lawsuits, have ruled Jones defamed the families by making repeated false claims that the school shooting, which killed 20 students and six staff members in Newton, Conn., was staged as part of a government plot to take guns away from Americans. The legal judgments drove Jones and Free Speech Systems into bankruptcy in 2022, and Lopez has appointed a bankruptcy trustee to sell Jones’ assets. Lopez has allowed Free Speech Systems and Infowars to be sold in Jones’ ongoing personal bankruptcy. But he said he preferred a “pure *****” of the company’s equity, which is owned by Jones, rather than allowing Infowars’ assets to be broken up and sold separately. The judge said the families were asking him to also divide up the assets of Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, despite the fact that the company had been dismissed from bankruptcy last year. Above, Norm Pattis, attorney for Alex Jones, in court in 2022. AP The bankruptcy trustee, Christopher Murray, had previously sought to sell Infowars to the parody news site the Onion, through a bid that was backed by the Connecticut families. Lopez shot down that ***** in January, saying that Murray “left money on the table” in order to win the Sandy Hook families’ support. “We’re not doing that anymore, I don’t trust the process,” Lopez said. “Go sell the equity.” The families’ attorneys had said the agreement would smooth the way for a ***** of Jones’ assets, including Infowars, after their previous disagreements over how to pursue Jones’ assets. In the past, the Texas-based families focused on taking more cash from Jones, while the Connecticut-based families prioritized the shutdown of Jones’ Infowars company. Chris Mattei, an attorney for the Connecticut families, said they remain determined to “enforce every penny of judgments against Alex Jones.” Source link #Judge #blocks #Sandy #Hook #families #settlement #Alex #Jones #bankruptcy Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

WA’s first meningococcal case for 2025 reported WA’s first meningococcal case for 2025 reported An adult was recovering in hospital this week after contracting meningococcal — WA’s first recorded case of the bacterial infection of 2025. WA Health revealed that the person contracted the B strain of the disease which comes after there were 13 meningococcal cases, including one death, in 2024. Meningococcal is an uncommon, life-threatening illness that is caused by a bacterial infection of the blood or membranes lining the spinal cord and brain. Camera IconPremier Roger Cook Credit: Richard Wainwright/AAP It is not easily spread from person to person and the meningococcal bacteria lives harmlessly in the back of the nose or throat in up to 20 per cent of the population. Very rarely, the bacteria invade the bloodstream or tissues and cause serious infections. There are two vaccines available to try and protect against meningococcal disease; the MenACWY vaccine covers the serogroups A, C, W and Y and is available free to children at 12 months old, and all year 10 students. The Meningococcal serogroup B vaccine is free for all Aboriginal children up to two years old to try and combat the higher rate of meningococcal disease in Indigenous children. The availability of the MenB vaccine has become an issue in the upcoming State election, with the Liberal party promising to provide it for free if it wins. But in December Premier Roger Cook would not commit to funding the vaccine for people, saying he had lobbied the Federal Government to add it to the National Immunisation Program, which funds the MenACWY vaccine. WA Health said symptoms of invasive meningococcal disease may include high fever, chills, headache, neck stiffness, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, and severe muscle and joint pains. Young children may not complain of symptoms, so fever, pale or blotchy complexion, vomiting, lethargy (inactivity), poor feeding and rash are important signs. Meningococcal infection is treatable with antibiotics, but it can progress very rapidly, so anyone with these symptoms must seek medical attention urgently. With appropriate treatment, most people with the disease recover, although around 5 to 10 per cent will die and, around 15 per cent may experience long-term complications such as hearing loss, limb amputations or brain damage.

Former ‘Teacher of the Year’ accused of ******* abuse changes plea to guilty Former ‘Teacher of the Year’ accused of ******* abuse changes plea to guilty SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Jacqueline Ma, the former National City teacher who is accused of ********* abusing her students, changed her plea to guilty during a court hearing Wednesday ahead of her scheduled trial. The 35-year-old has been in custody since she was first arrested on campus of Lincoln Acres Elementary in the spring of 2023 on suspicion she had engaged in ******* relationships with two students, who were respectively 11 and 12 years old at the time. Earlier that year, she had been named a “Teacher of the Year” by the San Diego County Office of Education. Sentencing of convicted ********* delayed for sixth time after courtroom injury Prosecutors alleged these relationships involved the exchange of suggestive text messages and explicit photos, as well as at least one instance where she allegedly removed her shirt after asking one of the victims for a private meeting in her classroom. One of the two inappropriate relationships Ma engaged in lasted for almost a year, prosecutors said during a preliminary hearing in 2023. Shortly after her arrest, she pleaded not guilty to 21 felony counts. During Wednesday’s hearing, she changed her plea on four counts related to both victims, including lewd acts on a minor by force or fear and possession of child ******* abuse material. “Obviously she’s taken responsibility and not gone to trial. The consequences of trial would have been more significant,” deputy district attorney Drew Heart said after the hearing. “With this resolution, we’re sparing the victims from having to come in and testify in front of a jury.” As part of her plea agreement, the remainder of the charges were dismissed by the district attorney’s office and Ma accepted a potential prison sentence of 30 years to life with the possibility of parole. Her sentencing is scheduled on May 9. Arrests made in connection to series of fires in San Diego, police say The maximum she could have received should the case gone to trial would have been 180 years to life in prison due to the severity of the charges sought by the district attorney’s office. “From our office’s perspective, it was very important that these be charged as not just sex offenses, but sex offenses done under duress and that’s what she plead to,” Heart explained. “This was very significant to us, not just because she won an award, but because of who she was in the community,” he continued. “We think this plea deal sends a message to the community, not just about sex offenses on children, but when you leverage a position of trust, when you leverage good faith with parents in the community and you do this to their children, there will be significant penalties to pay.” FOX 5/KUSI’s Juliette Vara contributed to this report.

******** telecom giant Huawei revenue surges despite U.S. sanctions ******** telecom giant Huawei revenue surges despite U.S. sanctions Huawei launched the Mate 70 series in an event in Shenzhen on November 26, 2024. The phones are the first capable of running Huawei’s new operating system called HarmonyOS NEXT. Huawei BEIJING — ******** telecommunications and smartphone giant Huawei continues to grow and take market share from Apple, despite U.S. restricting the company’s access to high-end technology. Huawei’s revenue exceeded 860 billion yuan ($118.27 billion) in 2024, Chairman Howard Liang said Wednesday, according to local state media. Huawei did not comment when contacted by CNBC. That’s a 22% jump in revenue from 2023, and the fastest growth since a 32% increase in 2016, according to CNBC calculations of publicly released figures. Huawei typically publishes its annual reports in March. Liang, speaking at a local government conference, described Huawei’s consumer business as “returning to growth” and car solutions business as seeing “rapid development,” according to a CNBC translation of the ********-language report. He said Huawei’s ICT business — which has been the largest segment by revenue — “remained stable.” Since 2019, the U.S. has restricted Huawei’s ability to access technology from American suppliers, from advanced 5G chips to Google’s Android operating system. Huawei’s revenue barely grew in 2020, and plunged by nearly 29% in 2021. Its consumer segment was hit hard, and even as revenue rose 17% year on year to 251.5 billion yuan in 2023, it was just over half of what the unit generated at its peak in 2020. Huawei’s smartphone shipments in mainland China surged by 37% last year, climbing from fourth to second place by market share, while Apple fell to third place with a 17% drop, according to Canalys data. Vivo, known for its budget-priced devices, ranked first by market share in 2024, the data showed. The telecommunications company started to make a comeback in the smartphone market in 2023 with the release of its Mate 60 Pro in China. Reviews indicated the device offers download speeds associated with 5G — thanks to an advanced semiconductor chip. Just over a year later, Huawei launched the Mate 70 smartphone series that uses the company’s first fully self-developed operating system, HarmonyOS NEXT.

Aurumin, Newcam ramp up iron ore drill hunt at WA Sandstone project Aurumin, Newcam ramp up iron ore drill hunt at WA Sandstone project Aurumin Limited and potential joint-venture partner Newcam Mineral have kicked-off a drilling program for iron ore at Aurumin’s Central Sandstone project in Western Australia’s Mid West region, 495 kilometres east of the Port of Geraldton. The two companies sealed a deal last October providing Newcam with a six-month option on the iron ore rights at the site. The companies will jointly fund the costs of the program. The arrangement netted Aurumin a cool $500,000 upfront with scope for further payments. The reverse circulation drill program will test seven priority targets, with 54 holes planned for an estimated 2000 metres. The objective is to test the subsurface potential for high-grade iron identified in detailed surface mapping that allowed Newcam geologists to zero-in on several priority targets. The program will prioritise areas indicating a possibility for sufficient scale, higher grade and continuity, with plans to define contiguous sections of high-grade iron. If Newcam is satisfied with the drilling outcome, it may exercise its right to earn a 50 per cent interest in the iron ore rights and establish a joint venture agreement with Aurumin. Newcam will be required to pay Aurumin a further $500,000 if it decides to exercise the option and will also dig into its pockets for a $5 million loan to fund production start-up. The money will be repaid from operating profits. Aurumin could have yet another payday as Newcam will pump a further $1m into the goldie’s bank account if a 2012 JORC-compliant resource is released for more than 3 million tonnes, grading an average 60pc iron. In all, the potential joint venture could bring $7m worth of funding to the table. The two firms plan to contribute 50pc each of all agreed exploration and drilling costs incurred within six months. Aurumin is responsible for covering any holding costs for its tenements before the option expires. Aurumin last July revealed a peak return of 67pc iron from rock chips and a series of banded-iron outcrops that are potentially 5m to 40m wide across a non-continuous 6km strike of banded-iron material at surface. The discovery boosted management’s confidence in the potential for economic iron deposits within the project’s ground. Acceptable results were received for iron ore “nasties”, deleterious elements that can affect the smelting process and steel mill operators don’t like them. The Sandstone project grounds sit across three granted mining leases offering plenty of potential for iron mineralisation. Management believes the priority targets possess several positive features, such as shallow dipping banded-iron, identified high-grade hematite, district potential and proximity to existing deposits and infrastructure. The project site includes a 500,000 tonne carbon-in-leach processing plant that requires refurbishment, a permitted tailings storage facility, a bore field and camp facilities. The potential joint venture with Newcam could be worth up to $7 million in project funding and will accelerate our activity, remove logistical hurdles for export and de-risk the project overall. Importantly for Aurumin shareholders, by joint venturing the iron ore we maintain far more upside and potential profit compared to a royalty-based transaction. Newcam is a private company with several iron ore mines in WA’s Mid West. It ships ore through the Geraldton port, where it holds bulk storage capacity and access to ship loading. Aurumin yesterday revealed an increase to its Plum Pudding mineral resource after recent a drilling program at the project. The additional 4600 ounces of gold in the Plum Pudding resource boosted the company’s overall tally to 951,000 ounces, edging closer to a magical million ounces of the precious yellow metal. The 951,000 ounces includes a 64,700-ounce gold resource grading 2.51 grams per tonne (g/t) at its Johnson Range project, about 120km south of Central Sandstone. After drill programs in April and December last year, the Plum Pudding resource has been increased to 413,442t grading 1.4g/t for 18,700 ounces of gold, with the vitally important indicated category comprising 325,480t at 1.45g/t for 15,200 ounces. Results from the program included 3m at 2.79g/t gold from 20m, 11m going 0.82g/t from 35m in the same hole and 4m grading 1.08g/t gold from 23m. The company also carried out drilling at its Shillington deposit, with assays returning an 8m slice grading 2.5g/t gold from a shallow 12m, a 14m run going 1.3g/t from 56m and a 6m section at 1.8g/t from 46m. Management plans to release an updated mineral resource for the Shillington deposit within the next two months. Aurumin is planning further drilling in the coming months. It has submitted a program of works for its Gwendolyn gold prospect at the Johnson Range project. The iron ore price has been hovering between $90 per tonne and $120/t for the past year, with plenty of pundits commenting on the likelihood of it remaining within this band or even easing back a little. The trend has hardly motivated large sections of the market to look for compelling iron ore plays. A decent iron ore discovery would excite the market, so the two companies will be eagerly awaiting the results from their drill program. Is your ASX-listed company doing something interesting?

XRP Ledger ‘Self-Healed’ After Brief Downtime XRP Ledger ‘Self-Healed’ After Brief Downtime The XRP Ledger (XRPL) was briefly unavailable early Wednesday as a consensus mechanism design led to a temporary halt in network operations. The incident began when the network’s consensus process appeared to function, but validations were not being published, causing the network’s ledgers to “drift apart.” In the XRP Ledger, consensus among validators is crucial for updating the ledger with new transactions. If validators cannot agree on which transactions to include in the next ledger version, the network can’t move forward. A “drift” in this context means that while the consensus protocol was technically running, validations (or confirmations of transaction sets) weren’t being published. At least one validator operator manually intervened to reset the network’s consensus to a previously validated ledger state, although the network seemed to have rectified the problem independently, Ripple CTO David Schwarz said in a X post after the incident. “It’s likely that servers refused to send validations precisely because they knew something was wrong,” Schwarz said. “And wanted to make sure no server accepted a ledger as fully validated when they couldn’t be sure the network would retain and eventually agree on that ledger. “One possible failure mode for XRPL is if all the validators think something’s wrong with the network, all refuse to send any validations, and then there’s no chatter to let the network reconverge. This is the ‘silent network’ failure,” Schwarz added. No assets were at risk during the downtime, with XRP prices largely in line with broader bitcoin and altcoin movements.

Molly Picklum, Tyler Wright, Isabella Nichols into quarter-finals at Pipeline Pro but conditions keep men on the beach Molly Picklum, Tyler Wright, Isabella Nichols into quarter-finals at Pipeline Pro but conditions keep men on the beach Young gun Molly Picklum will continue the *********** charge into the quarter-finals at the World Surf League season-opening event in Hawaii, but conditions at the Banzai Pipeline kept the men out of the surf again. Picklum, who won the event in 2023 and was runner-up last year, was in action twice on Thursday as surfing resumed after a long break in testy conditions. She won both her heat and then a round-of-16 clash. The 22-year-old joined two-time world champion Tyler Wright and Isabella Nichols in making it through to the final eight, with Nichols producing the best scoring wave of the day. “I saw Isabella Nichols get a bomb and a couple of sick rides so I was all fired up,” Picklum said. “I’m learning that I definitely love that chaotic because it matches me and my personality. “I’m right at home when it’s crazy.” But veteran Sally Fitzgibbons’ return to the elite tour didn’t go to plan, with the 34-year-old bundled out in the elimination round, having also finished last in her opening heat last week. Fitzgibbons has missed the mid-season cut for the past three seasons but earnt her way back to the main tour to start 2025 with victories on the second-tier, including at the US Open of Surfing late in 2024. The six *********** men through to the round of 32, including world no.2 Jack Robinson, have been cooling their heels for days as officials wait for the perfect conditions in a window for the event getting narrower, with February 8 the cut-off.

‘[It] will … become more frequent, intense, and deadly’ ‘[It] will … become more frequent, intense, and deadly’ Last year brought serious heat to regions around the world — and not just in the summer months. A recent study from World Weather Attribution and Climate Central found that millions of people faced an average of 41 extra days of dangerously hot weather. What caused such an increase? According to the study’s findings, human-caused climate change pushed temperatures to new extremes, with 2024 likely being the hottest year on record. What’s happening? In 2024, extreme heat was felt around the globe, with some areas experiencing over 150 days of dangerously high temperatures. Places including Northern California, Southeast Asia, and West Africa had scorching temperatures, leading to health issues, school closures, and disruptions to daily life. The El Niño weather pattern, which naturally warms the Pacific Ocean and changes weather around the world, was a factor. However, the researchers concluded that the rising global temperature had the biggest impact on the severity of these events. “We found that climate change made these events more likely and more intense,” said Friederike Otto, a scientist involved in the study. Experts also pointed out that heat-related deaths are often underreported, and heat waves remain the deadliest extreme weather event linked to the changing climate. Watch now: Giant snails invading New York City?Why is extreme heat important? Last year’s extreme weather led to more than 3,700 deaths and displaced millions of people. Scientists have warned that we’re getting close to the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming limit set by the Paris Agreement; if we cross that threshold, the impacts will only worsen: more intense heat waves, stronger storms, and further rising sea levels. The regions hardest hit are often the poorest, where resources to adapt and recover are limited. Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, put it simply, saying, “Extreme weather will continue to become more frequent, intense, and deadly until we reduce heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere.” Otto said “people don’t have to die in heat waves” but emphasized that “heat waves are by far the deadliest extreme event, and they are the extreme events where climate change is a real game changer.” What’s being done about it? Experts stressed that with the right measures, such as preparing for extreme weather and transitioning to renewable energy, we can reduce the damage caused by the changing climate. Julie Arrighi of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre suggested that nations can lessen the impacts by improving infrastructure and supporting vulnerable communities. On a personal level, small steps — such as reducing energy consumption and supporting environmentally-friendly policies — can also help. The longer we wait, the more severe the impacts will become. But with urgent and sustained action, we can reduce the risks and work toward a more resilient future.

Climate puzzle persists with unexpectedly warm January Climate puzzle persists with unexpectedly warm January Mark Poynting Climate and environment researcher Reuters Last month’s Los Angeles fires were one of the costliest disasters in US history Last month was the world’s warmest January on record and raised further questions about the pace of climate change, scientists say. January 2025 had been expected to be slightly cooler than January 2024 because of a shift away from a natural weather pattern in the Pacific known as El Niño. But instead, last month broke the January 2024 record by nearly 0.1C, according to the European Copernicus climate service. The world’s warming is due to emissions of planet-heating gases from human activities – mainly the burning of fossil fuels – but scientists say they can’t fully explain why last month was particularly hot. It continues a series of surprisingly large temperature records since mid-2023, with temperatures around 0.2C above what had been expected. “The basic reason we’re having records being broken, and we’ve had this decades-long warming trend, is because we’re increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,” Gavin Schmidt, director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told BBC News. “The specifics of exactly why 2023, and 2024, and [the start of] 2025, were so warm, there are other elements involved there. We’re trying to pin those down.” January 2025 ended up 1.75C warmer than January temperatures of the late 19th Century, before humans started significantly warming the climate. Early last year, global temperatures were being boosted by the natural El Niño weather pattern, where unusually warm surface waters spread across the eastern tropical Pacific. This releases extra heat into the atmosphere, raising global temperatures. This year, La Niña conditions are developing instead, according to US science group Noaa, which should have the opposite effect. While La Niña is currently weak – and sometimes take a couple of months to have its full effect on temperatures – it was expected to lead to a cooler January. “If you’d asked me a few months ago what January 2025 would look like relative to January 2024, my best shot would have been it would be cooler,” Adam Scaife, head of monthly to decadal predictions at the *** Met Office, said. “We now know it isn’t, and we don’t really know why that is.” A number of theories have been put forward for why the last couple of years have been warmer than anticipated. One idea involves a prolonged response of the oceans to the 2023-24 El Niño. While it was not especially strong, it followed an unusually lengthy La Niña phase from 2020-23. The El Niño event might therefore have “lifted the lid” on warming, allowing ocean heat that had been accumulating to escape into the atmosphere. But it’s unclear how this would still be directly affecting global temperatures nearly a year after El Niño ended. “Based on historical data, that effect is likely to have waned by now, so I think if the current record continues, that explanation becomes less and less likely,” says Prof Scaife. The fact that sea temperatures in other regions of the world remain particularly warm could suggest “that the behaviour of the ocean is changing”, according to Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus. “We’re really looking to see how the ocean temperatures evolve because they have a direct influence on air temperatures.” Another prominent theory is a reduction in the number of small particles in the atmosphere, known as aerosols. These tiny particles have historically masked some of the long-term warming from greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane by helping to form bright clouds and reflecting some of the Sun’s energy back into space. Aerosol numbers have been falling recently, thanks to reductions in tiny particles from shipping and ******** industry, for example, aimed at cleaning the air that people breathe. But it means they haven’t had as large a cooling effect to offset the continued warming caused by greenhouse gases. And this cooling effect of aerosols has been underestimated by the UN, argues James Hansen, the scientist who made one of the first high-profile warnings on climate change to the US Senate in 1988. Most scientists aren’t yet convinced that this is the case. But, if true, it could mean there is greater climate change in store than previously assumed. The “nightmare scenario”, says Prof Scaife, would be an extra cloud feedback, where a warming ocean could cause low-level reflective clouds to dissipate, in turn warming the planet further. This theory is also very uncertain. But the months ahead should help to shed some light on whether the “extra” warmth over the past couple of years is a blip, or marks an acceleration in warming beyond what scientists had anticipated. Currently, most researchers still expect 2025 will end up slightly cooler than 2023 and 2024 – but the recent warmth means they can’t be sure. What they do know, however, is that further records will follow sooner or later as humanity continues to heat up the planet. “In time, 2025 is likely to be one of the cooler years that we experience,” Dr Burgess said. “Unless we turn off that tap to [greenhouse gas] emissions, then global temperatures will continue to rise.” Graphics by Erwan Rivault Source link #Climate #puzzle #persists #unexpectedly #warm #January Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident. Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military, was removed from her post as the Coast Guard’s top officer on Trump’s second day in office. Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an “excessive focus” on diversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal. Fagan, who was named commandant in 2022, made a convenient target for a new president who wanted to flex his muscle. The process for firing her was less complex than for dismissing chiefs of the four main branches of the military. More than that, the move allowed him to send signals about his anti-DEI agenda and desire to stem the flow of ******** immigrants and goods into the United States. Throwing her out of her house on short notice went a step further. “It’s petty and it’s personal,” one Fagan ally said. But a DHS official countered that it made sense for her to be moved out of the home at Joint Base Anacostia Bolling. “She was terminated with cause two weeks ago today and she was still living in those admiral quarters,” the official said, confirming that Fagan had been told to leave. The official said they could not confirm or deny the three-hour timeline. NBC News reached out to the White House and the Coast Guard for comment. Coast Guard leaders had given Fagan a 60-day waiver to find new housing, according to one of the sources. But on Tuesday, Homeland Security officials told the acting commandant, Kevin Lunday, that he had to kick her out because “the president wants her out of quarters,” according to one of the people familiar with the incident. The DHS official was not able to immediately ascertain whether the directive had in fact come from Trump or whether his name had been invoked without his knowledge. Lunday then informed Fagan, at 2 p.m. Tuesday, that she had three hours to get out. Shortly after that, her team received a call from aides to Sean Plankey, a DHS senior adviser and retired Coast Guard officer, instructing her to leave the house unlocked so that the interior could be photographed, according to one of the sources. “It’s a really strange power play,” the Fagan ally said. Fagan pushed back on DHS officials taking pictures of the inside of the home. “I do not authorize them to come into my house, whether I’m there or not,” she told another Coast Guard official. Lunday relayed that back to Plankey’s team, noting that an attempt to access the house would amount to trespassing, according to one of the sources. But Fagan did depart. She left the house “with many — maybe all — of her personal items and household goods still there,” said a former U.S. military official. She spent the night with friends. United States Transportation Command is now responsible for moving her personal effects out of the house. “She was given a different place to stay,” the DHS official said. “We’re still providing her housing.” The official was not able to say what form of housing, and the Fagan ally said that an alternative was not offered to her as part of the discussion of her vacating the premises.

Several districts close ahead of freezing weather Several districts close ahead of freezing weather DETROIT (FOX 2) – School closings are already rolling in as a freezing weather system moves through the area, leaving slick conditions on the roads. Nearly 20 school districts have already announced they will be closed for Thursday, Feb. 6. On Wednesday into Thursday, a freezing weather system will come into Metro Detroit. This may make roads slippery at around midnight. Timeline Around 8 p.m., some snow moves in. That snow is forecast to transition to freezing rain around midnight and fall until about 7 a.m. The area is expected to get around 1/10 of an inch of ice, with areas in the southern part of Southeast Michigan possibly receiving a bit more. Though 1/10 doesn’t seem like a lot, it is enough to coat roads and create dangerous conditions. The Thursday morning commute is predicted to be slick. Additionally, that ice will coat power lines, too, creating a chance for power outages. Meanwhile, Oakland University announced they will be closed from 5 a.m. to noon on Thursday. Henry Ford College will also be closed until noon. Here is the live list of closures: What’s next Temperature will have an impact on how much impact the ice has.
