Washington DC – Experts say the Gaza-centered campus protest movement in the U.S. has highlighted a generational gap in Israel and that young people are demonstrating a willingness to challenge politicians and college administrators across the country. They argue that the gap in opinion, in which younger Americans are generally more supportive of Palestinians than previous generations, poses a risk to the re-election prospects of 81-year-old Democratic President Joe Biden. It could also threaten the bipartisan support Israel enjoys in Washington. “We are already seeing evidence of a generational divide in Israel, and this will be a long-term problem for…
College campuses across the U.S. have seen a rise in protest encampments and other demonstrations over the past week, many of which have drawn intense media scrutiny as well as mass arrests and other heavy-handed police actions. And the protests continue to spread.But overseas campus protests have been sporadic and small-scale, and none have launched a broader student movement.For example, in the UK, small groups of students temporarily occupied university buildings on the campuses of the University of Manchester and the University of Glasgow. But they never generated national news or sparked widespread protests.There is still a possibility that the…
Donald Trump’s criminal trial continued Friday, hearing the remainder of testimony from his former aide and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.Lorna Graf, who worked as an aide to President Trump for 34 years, testified that she saw Stormy Daniels, the adult film star at the center of the hush-money trial, outside Trump’s office. Prosecutors and defense attorneys also concluded their questioning of Mr. Pecker, whom they described as being involved in two “catch-and-kill” schemes on behalf of President Trump.BBC’s Nada Tawfik outlines the key moments in court.
For more than 15 years, the Bionic Learning Network has focused on the magic of flight. In addition to the technical decipherment of bird flight, the team studied and technologically implemented numerous other flying objects and their natural principles. With BionicBee, the Bionic Learning Network has developed, for the first time, a flying object that can fly in large numbers and fully autonomously in a swarm. BionicBee will present its first flight show at Hannover Messe 2024. At approximately 34 grams, 220 millimeters long, and with a wingspan of 240 millimeters, BionicBee is the smallest flying object created by the…
Safety is of utmost importance in factories. Everyone wants their team members to be healthy and able to do their jobs. Injuries are the most undesirable outcome and generally fall into two categories: immediate and progressive.
Are we sailing under the stars under a cloudy sky? Stock market trading this year has certainly featured plenty of thrills as the market struggles to find true north. But for all the mental scar tissue that could go wrong, it’s surprising to see how much went right. Not only was economic growth relatively strong, with inflation easing, but consumer spending and business margins also remained healthy. Yes, the sky may have been cloudy at times, but when will this market stop worrying that each cloud could bring thunderstorms?
listen to this article The Gentle Duo Mini soft gripper is ideal for food handling. Source: Ubiros Reliable and delicate robotic gripping methods have long been a challenge, but Ubiros Inc. says it can solve the problem without the bulky pneumatics or complex coding of previous approaches. According to Onder Ondemir, president of Ubiros, the company’s electrically driven modular grippers are easier to deploy and use than other soft grippers. He is also a professor in the Department of Engineering at Northeastern University. Ubiros offers the Gentle Flex module and Gentle Flex CC for users who want to create their…
The team, based at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, studied the structure of octopus biological suckers, which have extraordinary adaptive suction capabilities that allow them to anchor to rocks. In findings published today in the journal PNAS, researchers show how they were able to create multilayered soft structures and artificial fluid systems to mimic the musculature and mucus structures of biological suckers. Suction is a highly evolved biological adhesion strategy for soft-bodied organisms to powerfully grasp various objects. Biological suckers can adaptively attach to dry, complex surfaces such as rocks and shells, something that is very difficult with current artificial suckers.…
This season has been a truly painful season for me as a Chelsea fan. Last season was terrible, but at least it was consistently terrible. It was boring every week, but at least we couldn’t get our hopes up. This season was different. There were flashes of promise regularly enough to make you believe for a moment. That’s enough to convince injured players that they can come back and turn things around. But each time it’s heartbreaking to come back to reality one way or another. Sometimes it can be bad news from the medical department, or it can be…
