"Some Americans arrested in North Korea after allegedly entering from China have been convicted of espionage and other anti-state acts but released after high-profile US missions to secure their freedom.

The last three known American detainees were released in 2018, as the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, engaged in nuclear diplomacy with Donald Trump, a process that led to the two leaders meeting at the DMZ and shaking hands."

"Still, the evidence from multiple sites forces scientists to rethink old assumptions that people arrived only in one great wave of migration over the Bering land bridge, said Briana Pobiner, a co-author and paleoanthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington.

A bit of good news to remind you that the world’s not all bad

There is a plot of land between the Tabin and Kulamba wildlife reserves in Borneo where wildlife should have roamed freely across the two parks. Instead, there were electric fences protecting a swathe of palm oil plantations, stopping animals from interacting. When conservationist Robert Risch noticed this in 2011 he was dismayed. “I found elephant tracks coming from Tabin following the river to the north until they reached the electric fence. Then the tracks turned around back to Tabin,” says Risch.

In 2019, his organisation, the Rhino and Forest Fund (RFF), bought 65 hectares of land and gave it to the Sabah forestry department for conservation. It was the first dry land connection between the two reserves in decades, providing wildlife with an 800m-wide corridor, large enough for elephants. As soon as the fence came down, animals found their way to each other’s reserves and were reunited with their species. This is no small feat considering the land in these areas is expensive because of the high levels of palm oil. Within three years, the restoration site was – for the first time – home to orangutans, proboscis monkeys, red leaf monkeys and a rare Storm’s stork.

Dramatic fossil shows pugnacious mammal attacking a dinosaur

While there is little doubt that many a Mesozoic mammal became a meal for a dinosaur, it may come as a surprise to learn that some mammals also dined on dinos. A dramatic fossil unearthed in northeastern China shows a pugnacious badger-like mammal in the act of attacking a plant-eating...

I read about that yesterday at ScienceAlert.com. Must of been exciting as hell for the people that found and uncovered that one.

Much better site than Yahoo for science news. I check it out every day.

It Turns Out An Ancient Creature Actually Preyed Upon Dinosaurs

The Cretaceous world seems to have been a perilous place to scratch out an existence, a land of eat-or-be-eaten.

I usually search for an article and when the news site does not want me to visit without conditions I hit a link that is more friendly. Yahoo does reprint other's articles, not the best source but one that does not mind my reading without giving them my email or having cookies accepted. But every once in a while they have a good science article, surprising, I have come across interesting ones on Newsmax (not that I visit much any more). I am trying to limit how much time I spend online. Mind you I do multitask, doing work on another computer and using this one to browse with. I did bookmark your site, so much for limiting myself I guess.

Tornado rips through Pfizer medicine plant in North Carolina
A tornado ripped through a North Carolina city Wednesday, damaging a Pfizer pharmaceutical plant, several residential homes and roadways.

The tornado touched down in the Rocky Mount area of North Carolina shortly after 12:30 p.m., leaving downed trees and power lines in its path, according to Nash County officials.

The National Weather Service of Raleigh said Wednesday night the damage found north of Rocky Mount is consistent with an EF3 tornado and wind speeds of 150 miles per hour.

Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone confirmed the tornado damaged a Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in the Rocky Mount area, leaving medicine and debris strewn around the facility.

Stone said the Pfizer plant holds large quantities of medicine, telling reporters, “I’ve got reports of 50,000 pallets of medicine that are strewn across the facility and damaged through the rain and the wind.” Stone said he has not been able to confirm the extent of damage.

In a statement to The Hill, Pfizer confirmed the damage to its Rocky Mount facility, noting staff followed safety protocol and were able to evacuate. The pharmaceutical company said all of its staff are safe and accounted for with no injuries reported.

“Our thoughts are with our colleges, our patients and the community as we rebuild from this weather incident,” the statement read.

The pharmaceutic company said it is assessing the situation to determine how production will be impacted.

According to Pfizer’s website, the company’s Rocky Mount location is “one of the largest sterile injectable facilities in the world,” with around 25 percent of all sterile injectables used in U.S. hospitals being produced at the site. The location makes several products, including anesthesia, therapeutics and anti-infectives.

The Nash County Sheriff’s Office also confirmed several homes were damaged, with six residents being treated on the scene by EMS and another two taken to the hospital. The twister caused several downed trees and power lines along highways, forcing officials to temporarily shut down both the north and south sides of I-95 in the area.

Stone urged the public to stay off the roads while transportation and power crews work to repair the damage, which also included a gas leak.

The National Weather Service said a tornado watch is in effect for nine North Carolina counties until 7 p.m. EST.

The tornado is the latest extreme weather event in recent days, as a dangerous heat wave continues in the Gulf Coast and Southwest and extreme flooding overwhelms the Northeast.

"In the interview, Bush alleged some foreigners and Ukrainians have been put in danger in the war against the Russian invasion due to the leadership incompetence of some Ukrainian commanders, while others have been threatened with jail for trying to leave. "


"I've seen things out here that, from a military perspective, are beyond unacceptable and are unfortunately hurting Ukraine."

He also said some foreign fighters have not been paid at all for their service, and said that some Australians with specialist military skills, including those qualified to drive the Bushmaster armoured vehicles donated by Australia to Ukraine for the war effort, have not been fully utilised.

I wonder if that woman will use that clip to sue Gaga for assault of some kind. Could be worth a few bucks.
