Climate change: new method can more accurately attribute environmental harm to individual polluters
Claimants in climate liability cases will benefit from a new emissions attribution method.

Wow.
It took them a while.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved sending up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges.
The military will begin sending groups of 150 attorneys
— both military and civilians
— to the Justice Department “as soon as practicable”
The military services should have the first round of people identified by next week, according to the Aug. 27 memo.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved sending up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to a memo reviewed by The Associated Press. The military will begin sending groups of 150 attorneys — both military and civilians — to the Justice Department “as soon as practicable” and the military services should have the first round of people identified by next week. That's according to the memo dated Aug. 27. The effort comes a…

Giant planet formation via pebble accretion across different stellar masses
The occurrence rate of cold Jupiters was found to depend on stellar mass. The formation environment in the protoplanetary disks regulates core formation and the subsequent gas accretion. In this study, we simulate giant planet formation via pebble accretion accounting for various stellar masses, core formation times, disk turbulent viscosities, and grain opacities. We use a self-consistent formation model that calculates the solid accretion rate and gas accretion rate of growing protoplanets. W…

Effect of Matter Accretion on Lithium Enhancement of Giants
A subset of low-mass giants ($<2.2\,M_{\odot}$) exhibit anomalous lithium enhancement behavior, which is still an open topic. Given that more massive giants retain more surface lithium, increasing mass by accreting circumstellar matter could be a channel to enrich lithium. We evaluate this process in the current work. Using MESA, we construct a model of matter accretion, including mass loss, that evolves a star from the main sequence turnoff to the red giant branch tip. The mean accretion rate …

Will sich jemand morgen spontan mit mir zum Mittagessen #Graz oder beim #Augartenfest treffen?

Montana ranked second worst in the country in terms of prevalence of mental illness and access to care, according to the non-profit Mental Health America.
Two-thirds of adults in Montana also lived in homes with guns, the highest rate in the country, according to a 2016 study from RAND, a thinktank.
The owner of the Firefly Café in Anaconda told the Associated Press that she locked up her business after a friend alerted her to the shooting.

“We are Montana, so guns are not new to…
