Scientists Develop Powerful ‘Pulses’ that Can Induce Immediate ‘Hibernation’
August 12th, 2024This is from 2023.
Via: Independent:
Scientists have developed new ultrasound technology that can induce immediate “hibernation”, they say.
The system can be aimed at the head and bring on “torpor” a state similar to hibernation where mammals suppress their metabolism, reduce their body temperature and slow down other processes.
The researchers behind the new system successfully brought it on in mice and rats, after pointing the ultrasound pulses at the animals’ heads.
…
The scientists found that directing ultrasound pulses at mice’s heads for around 10 seconds brought on the same conditions as torpor, with their heart rate slowing, their body temperature cooling and their metabolism slowing.
They also built a special system that was able to measure that body temperature and send more of those pulses if a mouse appeared to be coming back to normal.
Without that, however, the mice would wake back up again, returning to normal metabolism and body temperature.
There are still a host of dangers, however. Experiments have shown that it is dangerous to bring animals back from those deep “torpid” states, and that they might not recover.
If the mice were in cold environments, for instance, they did not spontaneously wake up. And any experiments in humans would be at risk of repeating those safety issues for people.

Newsom Hires $200k/Year Celebrity Photographer For Glamor Shots
August 11th, 2024Via: ZeroHedge:
As 20% of California suffers in poverty amid soaring power bills, soaring homelessness, businesses fleeing the state, and sky-high taxes, one might expect the state’s leadership to focus on solutions. Instead, Governor Gavin Newsom has taken a rather unconventional approach: hiring a celebrity photographer, Charles Ommanney, with a $200,000 annual salary to enhance his public image.
…
Yet, it’s hard to overlook the absurdity of this situation: a governor who earns $234,101 annually is paying a photographer nearly as much to follow him around the state, capturing photos that are, in essence, taxpayer-funded PR.
U.S. “Deeply Concerned” After Israeli Airstrike Killed “About 100” Palestinians, Will Send $3.5 Billion More in Weapons and Military Equipment to Israel
August 10th, 2024Via: Reuters:
The White House said it was “deeply concerned” about an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school compound on Saturday that local civil defence officials say killed around 100 people, adding to condemnation of the attack from several Arab states, Turkey, Britain and the European Union’s foreign policy chief.
The school compound in Gaza City housed displaced Palestinian families. The Gaza Civil Emergency Service, which has a credible record stating casualty numbers, said about 100 people were killed in Saturday’s strike. Israel said around 20 militants had been operating at the compound.
Video from the site showed body parts scattered among rubble and more bodies being carried away and covered in blankets.
“We are deeply concerned about reports of civilian casualties in Gaza following a strike by the Israel Defense Forces on a compound that included a school,” the White House said in a statement, adding Washington was in touch with Israel to seek more information.
Washington has faced mounting domestic and international criticism, including from human rights groups, for its military support for Israel. Saturday’s airstrike came a day after a State Department spokesperson said the U.S. will provide Israel $3.5 billion to spend on U.S. weapons and military equipment after Congress appropriated the funds in April.
Russia Evacuates Tens of Thousands Amid Ukraine Incursion
August 10th, 2024Via: AFP:
Struggling to put down a major Ukrainian incursion for a fifth day, Russia on Saturday said it had evacuated tens of thousands of people from its border region, launched a “counter-terror operation” and warned that the fighting was endangering a nuclear power plant.
Ukrainian units stormed into Russia’s western Kursk region on Tuesday morning in a shock attack, the largest and most successful cross-border offensive by Kyiv of the two-and-a-half year conflict.
Its troops have advanced several kilometres and Russia’s army has rushed in reserves and extra equipment — though neither side has given precise details on the forces they have committed.
Kyiv has maintained a strict operational silence on the offensive and is yet publicly to confirm it is even behind the attack.
Russia’s nuclear agency on Saturday warned of a “direct threat” to the nearby Kursk nuclear power station, and local officials detailed the scale of civilian evacuations from towns and villages close to the combat zone.
“More than 76,000 people have been temporarily relocated to safe places,” the state-run TASS news agency quoted an official from the regional emergency situations ministry as saying at a press briefing on Saturday.

Donald Trump’s Plane Forced to Divert Due to ‘Mechanical Issue’
August 9th, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Donald Trump’s plane has been forced to divert en route to a Montana rally over a ‘mechanical issue.’
The former president’s private Boeing 757, nicknamed Trump Force One, landed in Billings, Montana, 142 miles to the east, instead of its intended destination of Bozeman Friday afternoon.
There were no reports of any injuries and Trump is now set to board a separate plane to take him to a rally in Bozeman scheduled for this evening.
Trump’s campaign posted a video of him upon landing in which he said he was glad to be in Montana but did not mention anything about the landing.
