According to the data, at least 80% of displaced
people originated in the eastern provinces of
North and South Kivu, Ituri and Tanganyika.
These provinces have been overrun
by armed groups looking to lay claim
to the region's resources, including gold.
.
The most recent escalation of the
conflict has uprooted more people
in less time like rarely seen before, Fabien Sambussy, IOM’s chief of mission
in Congo, via 'The Independent' .
According to the IOM, over two-thirds
of those displaced live with host families,
accounting for 4.8 million refugees.
.
'The Independent' reports that rising
violence has sparked global frustration.
.
Earlier in October, Congo's government
ordered the country's East African
regional force to flee the country.
The force, which was deployed in 2022 to help
end the conflict, was allegedly told to leave after
a "lack of satisfactory results on the ground.".
According to the IOM, the U.N.
Has faced
pressure to pull its troops from Congo after
over 20 years of its peacekeeping mission.

meteorologist Josh Weiss, the May 31 storm system , "does look like it's going to be encompassing Texas again.”.
Weiss added that other areas are
also at risk of experiencing severe
storms and potential flash flooding.

Investigators Say , Boeing 737-800 Experienced , 'Serious' Throttle Fault During Takeoff.
'The Independent' reports that a recent
Tui flight departing from Bristol Airport
only cleared the A38 road by 100 feet. .
According to air accident investigators,
the March 4 incident was due to a fault
with the throttle system of the Boeing 737-800. .
This fault involved the jet's auto-throttles,
resulting in the aircraft not having
sufficient thrust during takeoff. .
The aircraft took off…
with a thrust setting
significantly below that
required to achieve the
correct takeoff performance, AAIB statement, via 'The Independent'.
The pilots of the Tui flight were reportedly
unaware of the issue, despite passing over the
busy A38 well below the aircraft's intended height. .
On May 30, the Air Accidents Investigative Branch (AAIB) issued a special bulletin stating
that the agency is looking into the matter, while also
investigating how pilots missed a routine check. .
Despite a… requirement to check the
thrust setting on takeoff, the crew
did not realize that the thrust was not
set correctly until after the takeoff
although they had noted how close
to the end of the runway they were, AAIB statement, via 'The Independent'.
The investigation continues to
examine all pertinent factors
associated with this serious
incident and a final report
will be issued in due course, AAIB statement, via 'The Independent'.
According to Boeing,
the original auto-throttle
system on the 737-800s has , “a long history of nuisance
disconnects during takeoff mode.”.

The AAIB said that a newer version has been available since

Solar Power Breakthrough , Could Bring Clean Energy to, Heavy Manufacturing.
A new solar-powered device may have
reached a breakthrough, generating
temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius. .
The breakthrough was detailed in a study
published in the journal 'Device.'.
'The Independent' reports that the development
raises hopes that green energy could be used to
run some of the world's most fossil fuel-intensive
manufacturing processes. .
'The Independent' reports that the development
raises hopes that green energy could be used to
run some of the world's most fossil fuel-intensive
manufacturing processes. .
Using synthetic quartz crystals, the new
proof-of-concept device traps solar energies
at temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius. .
The breakthrough could bring clean energy
to carbon-intensive industries like cement,
chemical and metal manufacturing.
These manufacturing industries
alone account for almost a quarter of
the world's total energy consumption.
The new device reportedly relies upon a phenomenon
known as the thermal trap effect to harness the power
of the sun more efficiently than ever achieved before.
Previous research has only managed to
demonstrate the thermal trap effect up
to 170C. Our research showed that solar
thermal trapping works not just at low
temperatures, but well above 1,000C. , Emiliano Casati, Study co-author from ETH Zurich, via 'The Independent'.
This is crucial to show
its potential for real-world
industrial applications, Emiliano Casati, Study co-author from ETH Zurich, via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that researchers are looking
to optimize the thermal trap effect to find
new applications for the groundbreaking process.

Astronomers Witness , Merger of 2 Black Holes, From the 'Cosmic Dawn'.
'The Independent' reports that NASA's
Webb Space Telescope has made the most
distant detection of merging black holes. .
Two gigantic black holes and the galaxies that they stood
at the center of merged together just 740 million years
after the universe was formed in the Big Bang.
One of the black holes is a staggering 50 million
times larger than our Sun, and the other
is believed to be a similar gigantic size. .
Astronomers have long wondered how supermassive black holes are so big. .
Lead author Hannah Ubler of the University of Cambridge
says the findings suggest that mergers like this ancient
example show how black holes are able to grow so rapidly.
According to Ubler, the latest Webb
discovery also suggests that black holes
have been merging since the "cosmic dawn.".
Massive black holes
have been shaping
the evolution of galaxies
from the very beginning, Hannah Ubler, lead author from the University
of Cambridge, via 'The Independent'.
In 2021, NASA launched Webb, intended
to replace the Hubble Space Telescope.
Webb is the largest and most powerful
observatory ever launched into space. .

Boeing Faces, Potential Criminal Charges , Following String of Incidents.
'The Independent' reports that federal officials have
issued a warning to Boeing regarding possible criminal charges due to the airliner's failure to improve safety. .
The government-issued warning comes after
a series of incidents, including two 737 Max
jet crashes within a five-month span. .
One crash occurred in Indonesia in
2018 and another took place in Ethiopia in 2019.
A total of 346 people were
killed in the two crashes.
Following those two crashes,
Boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion and
make a number of safety improvements.
Feds now accuse Boeing of violating that deal and
claim the company could face further prosecution
following a series of incidents in recent months.
In January, an Alaska Airlines Boeing
737 MAX 9 had a door plug
blow off mid-flight. .
That incident resulted in the FAA
ordering all 171 MAX 9 jets be grounded
while the agency investigated the incident. .
For failing to fulfill completely the terms
of and obligations under the [deferred
prosecution agreement], Boeing is subject
to prosecution by the United States for
any federal criminal violation of which
the United States has knowledge, Department of Justice lawyers
letter to a federal judge, via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that a number of whistleblowers
have accused Boeing of cutting corners when it comes to
quality and expertise in exchange for short-term profit.
