The sustainable take-off
Even as they emit CO2 from burning fuel, planes also affect the concentration of other atmospheric gases and pollutants. They generate a short-term increase, but a long-term decrease in ozone and methane, and heightened emissions of water vapour, soot, sulphur aerosols, and water contrails. One of the most prominent trends in the aviation fuel segment today is the rise and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Derived from renewable resources such as plant oils, waste oils, and agricultural residues, SAF is seen to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, compared to traditional jet fuel. What makes aviation fuel sustainable?

US Army civilian worker who stole nearly $109 million and bought mansions, luxury cars is sentencedJanet Yamanaka Mello, 57, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez after pleading guilty in March to five counts of mail fraud and five counts of filing a false tax return.

Supreme Court refuses to scrap leak-hit NEET exam - Telegraph India
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to annul this year’s NEET-UG exam saying only 150-odd candidates had benefited from the question paper leak and that scrapping the entire exam would affect the remaining successful students. But after a marathon, four-day hearing, the bench rejected a batch of PILs that had sought cancellation of the exam. The apex court said it had independently scrutinised the data placed on record by the National Testing Agency, which conducted the exam. It said that directing a retest would have serious consequences for the tens of thousands of successful and untainted candidates from among the 24 lakh who had taken the exam. This year’s NEET-UG was held at 4,750 centres across 571 Indian and 14 overseas cities, with 108,000 seats up for grabs.

Comments Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance made in 2021 questioning Vice President Kamala Harris' leadership because she did not have biological children have resurfaced, testing the young conservative senator in his early days campaigning as part of Republicans' presidential ticket. He said that included Harris, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat.

Harris became stepmother to two teenagers when she married entertainment lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014. “Doesn't this mean that non parents don't have as much of a voice as parents?” he said critics would then ask.

Washington: The Senate will consider legislation this week that aims to protect children from dangerous online content, moving forward with what could become the first sweeping new regulation of the tech industry in decades. The parent advocates say social media and other tech companies need to do more to try to help prevent trauma endured by children and teenagers who inevitably spend a lot of their time online. "Social media has helped hundreds of millions of people connect in new ways over the last two decades," Schumer said. "The online safety bill, which the Senate will consider along with a separate bill to update child online privacy laws, would be the first major tech regulation package to move in years. "The senators have worked closely with the parents of children who have died by suicide after cyberbullying or otherwise been harmed by social media, including dangerous social media challenges, extortion attempts, eating disorders and drug deals.
