The deadly implosion of the Titan submersible raises questions about whether the vessel exploring the Titanic wreckage was destined for its own disaster because of its unconventional design and its creator’s refusal to submit to safety checks that are standard in the industry. The Titan, developed and operated by OceanGate Expeditions, was touted for a design that included a carbon fiber hull, an elongated cabin for crew and passengers, and more. But outside experts say the design and construction... Читать дальше...

“Rap City.” “106 & Park.” And even, “Uncut.” From innovative to provocative, BET has played a crucial role in creating several influential programs that helped spread hip-hop to millions of homes across the globe. Other than its rival show “Yo! MTV Raps,” the network known as Black Entertainment Television took up the mantle — despite some reluctance — to showcase a misunderstood rap culture decades before it became music's most popular genre. For many, BET became a safe place for those within hip-hop to express their artistry... Читать дальше...

The Titan’s voyage down into the North Atlantic highlights the murkily regulated waters of deep-sea exploration. It’s a space on the high seas where laws and conventions can be sidestepped by risk-taking entrepreneurs and the wealthy tourists who help fund their dreams. At least for now. Thursday’s announcement that the Titan had imploded near the Titanic shipwreck, killing all five people on board, has drawn attention to how these expeditions are regulated. Experts say wrongful death and negligence lawsuits are likely ... Читать дальше...

That left climate activists lamenting the lack of ambitious responses to the problems explored at the meeting. Читать дальше...

A powerful animal sedative in the illicit drug supply is complicating the U.S. response to the opioid crisis. It's called xylazine (pronounced ZY'-lah-zeen). It's not intended for human use and can cause severe skin wounds in people who inject it. But whether it is leading to more deaths — as suggested by officials in Washington — is not yet clear. In fact, some early data suggests the drug may inadvertently be diluting the effects of fentanyl, the synthetic opioid behind most overdose deaths. But... Читать дальше...

One cook’s trash is another chef’s ice cream. That's the mantra of the upcycling movement, the process of creating high-quality products from leftover food. Food waste is a major environmental problem in the United States, which upcycling restaurants and companies want to change. The trend is gaining ground as consumers spend more time reading packaging labels and menu ingredients to learn where their food comes from and how it affects the environment. Upcycled food is becoming increasingly common in cake mixes, veggie chips and other products.

Global inflation over the past year has hiked prices for Islam's Hajj pilgrimage dramatically.

Somalia’s “dire hunger emergency” is spiraling upward with one-third of the population expected to face crisis or worse levels of food needs. But Cindy McCain, head of the World Food Program, said the U.N. has been forced to drastically cut food assistance because of a lack of funding. She told the U.N. Security Council Thursday that the latest food security data show that over 6.6 million Somalis desperately need assistance including 40,000 “fighting for survival in famine-like conditions.” She...
