UN chief warns 1.5C warming goal at risk of 'collapsing'
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told AFP Friday that efforts to cap climate warming at 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial level are failing, as the UN prepared to host a climate week event alongside its annual diplomatic gathering.

Inyo County, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, has two hospitals.
In a matter of weeks it may be down to one, local and state officials say.
Southern Inyo Healthcare District -- a 37-bed hospital in Lone Pine -- had eight days of cash on hand as of Sept.12, chief executive Dr. Kevin Flanigan told CalMatters.
Local officials have sent a letter asking Gov. Gavin Newsom for an emergency $3 million to stabilize its finances through the end of the year,
but absent s…

With just days of cash left, Inyo County hospital nears crisis point
The financial crisis at Southern Inyo Healthcare District comes as rural hospitals nationwide face rising costs and federal Medicaid cuts.

UN chief tells AP that market forces could be what ends fossil fuels
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says money, not just science, makes the case for curbing climate change. Guterres in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press highlights the falling costs of renewable energy like solar and wind. Guterres warns that investments in fossil fuels could become financial losses. He stresses the urgency of reducing emissions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a goal set by the Paris Agreement. While some scientists believe that ta…

Scalar and Mean Curvature Comparison on Compact Cylinder
Let $ X $ be a closed, oriented Riemannian manifold. Denote by $ (M = X \times I, \partial M = X \times \lbrace 0 \rbrace \cup X \times \lbrace 1 \rbrace, g) $ a compact cylinder with smooth boundary, $ \dim M \geqslant 3 $. In this article, we address the following question: If $ g $ is a Riemannian metric having (i) positive scalar curvature (PSC metric) on $ M $ and nonnegative mean curvature on $ \partial M $; and (ii) the $ g $-angle between normal vector field $ ν_{g} $ along $ \partial …

A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE). XIX. The discovery of a spectacular 230 kpc Halpha tail following NGC 4569 in the Virgo cluster
Context. Galaxies fly inside galaxy clusters and ram pressure by the ICM can remove a large amount of the ISM from the galaxy, and deposit the gas in the ICM. The ISM decoupled from the host galaxy leaves a long trail following the moving galaxy. Such long trails track the galaxy motion and can be detected with sensitive data in Halpha. Aims. We study the Halpha tail trailing NGC 4569 in the Virgo cluster. Methods. The initial discovery was made with the deep Halpha imaging data with CFHT, …

Credit reporting giant TransUnion has disclosed a data breach
affecting more than 4.4 million customers’ personal information.
In a filing with Maine’s attorney general’s office on Thursday, TransUnion attributed the July 28 breach to unauthorized access of a third-party application storing customers’ personal data for its U.S. consumer support operations.
TransUnion claimed “no credit information was accessed,” but provided no immediate evidence for its claim.
The d…
