🇮🇳4 women tendu leaf collectors mauled to death by tiger in single attack in Maharashtra, India
In one of the deadliest tiger attacks in recent years at India's densest tiger belt in eastern Maharashtra, four women collecting tendu leaves were mauled to death in a single strike in Sindewahi forest range of Chandrapur district and a 55-year-old man was killed in Adyal forest range in Bhandara, 88km away on Friday, said forest dept officials.
The attacks intensified concerns over the escalating human-wildlife conflict in the region even as another woman collecting tendu leaves was critically injured in compartment 582 of Tadoba Andhari tiger reserve within a few hours.
Tendu leaf collectors — Kavdabai Dadaji Mohurle, 45, Anita Dadaji Mohurle, 40, Sunita Kaushik Mohurle, 38, and Sangita Santosh Chaudhary, 50 — had entered the forest near Gunjewahi village when a crouching tiger pounced on them.

Musk offers to fund lawsuit against UK police in Henry Nowak stabbing tragedy
Elon Musk has stepped forward to hold UK police accountable in what appears to be one of the most disturbing policing failures to emerge from Britain in years.
The tech mogul publicly offered to bankroll a wrongful death lawsuit against officers who allegedly prioritized an attacker's claims of "racism" over saving the life of 18-year-old Henry Nowak.
Musk's intervention comes as harrowing bodycam footage from the scene plays out in Southampton Crown Court during the ongoing murder trial of Vickrum Singh Digwa, the 23-year-old man of Indian Sikh heritage accused of stabbing Nowak four times with a 21cm blade.

As ocean temperatures spike, more dead sea birds are washing up on California shores
For the last several months, wildlife experts have been alarmed by a large influx of dead and emaciated seabirds washing up on California beaches.
While experts had been recording high mortality rates for brown pelicans for several years now — the result of harmful algal blooms, or "red tides" — this die-off appears different.
Now it's not just pelicans that are being impacted, but other water birds such as Brandt's cormorants, loons, common murres, and grebes.
The suspected culprit in this case is subtler and more insidious than the algal neurotoxin known as domoic acid.

Toxic chemicals rain from sky as terrifying leak at Garden Grove plant forces evacuations
A leak of toxic chemicals from a massive tank at a Garden Grove aerospace facility forced evacuations to be reissued on Friday, a day after residents were first ordered out of the area.
Firefighters on Thursday afternoon responded to a vapor release from a 34,000-gallon tank containing methyl methacrylate at the site on the 12100 block of Western Avenue, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
The industrial chemical is used in plastics and manufacturing, officials said.
The leak occurred at the GKN Aerospace plant, KABC reported.

Were the deceased cremated already in the Stone Age? The first signs of human cremation date back 100,000 years
Researchers have possibly discovered the earliest evidence of human cremation.
The findings were made in the Afar Rift in Ethiopia, one of the best preserved open air archaeological concentrations of early Homo sapiens communities.
The latest discoveries by an international research team, which includes Academy Research Fellow Ferhat Kaya from the University of Oulu, offer a detailed view of how early humans lived, moved, and adapted to their environment 100,000 years ago.
The group has been studying the Afar Rift since 1981.

How Hollywood spawned the ban on DIY repair
Today's bans on DIY repairs of everything from cell phones to tractors grew out of Hollywood's fear of videotaping If you have ever tried to repair something, realized that it was beyond your financial or technical means, and ended up buying a new one, you are not alone.
Repairing electronics and household appliances has not been a real option in the United States for decades now, particularly for items that have proprietary software in them.
Absurd situations have proliferated.
It can cost about the same to buy a new printer as it does to replace the ink cartridge.

🇵🇭Waterspout spotted off the coast of Cebu, Philippines
A waterspout was spotted off the coast of Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu early Saturday morning, as captured in a video shared with The Freeman by netizen Janelle Rose.
The phenomenon was seen from a high-rise building in the Mactan Newtown area, where the tornado-like formation appeared over the sea following a rainy weather this morning.
Waterspouts are tornado-like columns of air and mist that form over water and are commonly associated with unstable weather conditions.

Ice core discovery finds volcanic eruptions could cause greater global disruption than previously thought
New research from the University of St Andrews has precisely dated an eruption from Newberry Volcano and discovered that its ash spread more than 5,000 km across the globe, far further than previously thought for an eruption of its size.
Published in Quaternary Science Reviews, researchers identified ash particles from the Newberry Pumice eruption of Newberry Volcano (Oregon, U.S.) in a Greenland ice core by geochemical fingerprinting — matching the chemical elements in the far-flung ash particles to volcanic deposits of the Newberry Pumice ash from its most recent "Big Obsidian" eruptive period.

UK police log one-year-old baby as crime suspect; hundreds of kids flagged for offences
A one-year-old baby girl has been officially recorded as a crime suspect by Kent Police after allegedly causing a minor injury to another toddler.
This is part of a shocking tally where 683 children under 10 were reported for offences over three years.
This isn't some isolated bureaucratic error.
It's the latest symptom of a system that treats tiny children as miniature criminals or budding bigots while real threats from failed integration and ideological grooming go unaddressed.

Trump exerts iron grip on Republican Party with Massie defeated
Another one bites the dust.
The past few weeks had been billed as a retribution tour for Donald Trump, as he settles old scores with his critics within the Republican party.
Call it what you will, but the evidence is now overwhelming that the Republican party is Trump's party and nothing - not an unpopular war in Iran, not sagging poll numbers among the general public, not rising consumer prices, not concerns about billion-dollar White House ballrooms - has changed that.
Thomas Massie, the independent-minded congressman from Kentucky, was comfortably defeated on Tuesday in the Republican primary race to decide who goes forward to take on the Democrats in November's midterms.
