Senate Votes To Block Trump From Future Military Action Against Venezuela
Senate Moves To Rein In Presidential War Powers đșđž
In a rare and significant vote, the U.S. Senate approved a War Powers Resolution aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from carrying out any future military strikes on Venezuela without explicit approval from Congress.
The move follows rising concern over recent U.S. military actions in the region and fears of deeper involvement in another foreign conflict.
Supporters of the resolution argue that the Constitution gives Congress â not the president alone â the authority to declare war.
Critics warn that unchecked executive power could drag the U.S. into prolonged conflicts without public debate or accountability.
While the measure still faces hurdles in the House and a potential presidential veto, the vote signals growing bipartisan unease over unilateral military decisions.
The outcome could set a powerful precedent for how America authorizes military force in the future.
Denver Police Could Arrest Masked ICE Agents Under A New Proposed Law
A high-stakes legal showdown is taking shape in Colorado as the Denver City Council considers a proposal that could allow police to detain masked ICE agents.
Introduced by Councilmembers Flor Alvidrez and Shontel Lewis, the ordinance would ban law enforcement officers from wearing identity-concealing gearâsuch as balaclavas or ski masksâwhile making arrests.
Supporters argue that masked policing fuels fear, undermines public trust, and poses safety risks by making it difficult to distinguish officers from criminals.
While the proposal exempts SWAT units and medical face coverings, it raises major jurisdictional and legal concerns. Experts caution that stopping federal agents over agency-issued tactical gear could be viewed as interference with federal law enforcement, potentially inviting federal pushback.
The measure comes amid growing national criticism of anonymous policing. If passed, it would mark a significant shift in civil rights protections and local-federal relations, with enforcement possibly beginning in January 2027.
New York City Is Slowly Sinking, And The Weight Of Its Skyscrapers Is Contributing
Is New York City Really Sinking? Hereâs What Science Says
New York City isnât collapsing overnight â but studies show it is slowly sinking.
The enormous weight of skyscrapers, along with millions of other buildings, adds pressure to the ground beneath the city.
While natural geological processes from the Ice Age are the main reason, the growing skyline does contribute.
Why this matters
When land subsidence, skyscrapers, and rising sea levels combine, the risk of flooding increases â especially in low-lying coastal areas. This makes climate-resilient urban planning more important than ever.
Scary myth or real long-term concern?
The Last Time Every Living Human Was Only On Earth Was November 2, 2000, And Since Then There Has Always Been At Least One Person Living On The International Space Station
The last time every living human was on Earth at the same moment was November 2, 2000.
That changed when the first long-term crew arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) â and since then, humanity has never been planet-only again.
For more than 24 years, astronauts from different countries have continuously lived and worked in orbit, conducting experiments on human health, climate, physics, and future deep-space travel.
The ISS circles Earth every 90 minutes at about 28,000 km/h, serving as a permanent symbol of global cooperation beyond borders.
From growing food in microgravity to preparing for Moon and Mars missions, humans arenât just visiting space anymore â weâre living there.

Finland’s Education System is Considered the Bes in the World, Focusing on No Standardized Tests Minimal Homework, and Shorter School Days From 9 AM to 2 PM. Teachers Work Fewer Hours but Ar Highly Respected and Paid Well, Similar to Doctors
Finlandâs Education System: Proof That Less Pressure Can Mean More Learning
While many countries still rely on standardized exams, rankings, and long study hours, Finland took a completely different pathâand the world noticed.
đ Hereâs what makes Finlandâs model unique:
No national exams until the very end of high school.
Students in grades 1â9 are assessed by teachers instead of taking standardized tests. The only national exam is the Matriculation Examination after upper secondary school.
Less homework, more balance.
Finnish students spend about 0.8 hours per day on homeworkâone of the lowest averages among OECD nations.
Shorter school days, stronger outcomes.
Students receive roughly 6,384 hours of instruction through grade 9, compared to 7,600+ hours in most OECD countries.
Highly trained teachers.
Every Finnish teacher must hold a masterâs degree, and entry into teaching programs is extremely competitiveâoften with fewer than 1 in 10 applicants accepted.
Small classes, personalized learning.
Average class sizes hover around 18â19 students, allowing teachers to focus on individual growth rather than test performance.
A focus on creativity, equity, and well-being.
The national curriculum emphasizes âphenomenon-based learning,â critical thinking, and emotional development over rote memorization.
Results that speak:
Finland remains above the OECD average in reading, math, and science (PISA 2022: Reading 490 | Math 484 | Science 511) and continues to be a global benchmark for educational equalityâeven as top rankings shift worldwide.
The takeaway:
Finland proves that true excellence in education comes not from pressure or competition, but from trustâtrusting teachers to teach, and students to learn in their own way.
JAPAN ACTIVATES GIANT UNDERWATER TURBINE NOW POWERING A WHOLE ISLAND
đŻđ” Japan Makes Waves in Ocean Energy
Japan has just activated its first megawatt-scale tidal energy turbine â the 1.1 MW AR1100, now spinning silently beneath the Naru Strait.
Built by Proteus Marine Renewables, this underwater powerhouse uses cutting-edge blade pitch and yaw controls to convert tidal currents â driven by the moon and sun â into clean, consistent electricity.
Unlike wind or solar, tidal forces are fully predictable, making this a milestone moment in renewable energy.
Now connected to the grid through a subsea cable, the AR1100 is powering the Goto Islands, reducing diesel reliance and slashing carbon emissions.
With this bold step, Japan cements its role as a leader in marine energy â setting the stage for ocean-powered communities around the world.
This Doctor Drank Bacteria To Prove They Cause Stomach Ulcers, Got Sick Within Days, Treated With Antibiotics, And Won A Nobel Prize In 2005
He Drank Bacteria⊠And Transformed Modern Medicine!
Back in the 1980s, most doctors believed stomach ulcers came from stress, spicy food, or too much acid.
But Australian physician Dr. Barry Marshall and pathologist Dr. Robin Warren suspected something very different â a tiny spiral-shaped bacterium called Helicobacter pylori.
When nobody believed them, Marshall took a wild leap:
He drank a beaker of live H. pylori, infecting himself on purpose to prove the bacteria caused gastritis and ulcers.
Within days, he developed intense stomach pain, nausea, and inflammation â exactly what he predicted.
And when he treated himself with antibiotics, his symptoms disappeared.
This single act flipped decades of medical assumptions, saved millions from unnecessary surgeries, and introduced one of the most effective cures in gastroenterology:
Antibiotics + acid-reduction therapy = ulcer cured.
Their discovery didnât just change textbooks â it changed lives worldwide.
In 2005, Marshall and Warren received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for rewriting the science of ulcer disease.
Today, H. pylori infections are one of the most treatable bacterial conditions on Earth⊠thanks to one manâs brave (and slightly crazy) experiment.
Would you ever take that kind of risk for the truth?

Man Holds Breath For 29 Minutes, Breaking World Record And Surpassing Most Marine Mammals
A Human Just Beat Marine Mammals at Their Own Game!
Croatian freediver Vitomir MariÄiÄ has shattered the world record by holding his breath for an unbelievable 29 minutes and 3 seconds!
New Guinness World Record
Beat previous record of 24 min 37 sec
Achieved with pure oxygen pre-breathing
Outlasted dolphins, sea lions & most whales in static breath-hold!
This feat was performed in a 3-meter-deep pool in Croatia, under official supervision, and witnessed by over 100 spectators.
Whatâs the science behind it?
MariÄiÄ used a technique called pre-oxygenation, which floods the body with oxygen before the breath-hold â pushing the limits of what humans thought was possible.
Itâs a record that reminds us how far the human body can go with the right training, science, and mindset.
So, how long can YOU hold your breath?
Islam Must Adapt To Sweden: Deputy PM Proposes Burqa Ban In Public Spaces
âIslam Must Adapt To Swedenâ â A Proposal Sparking National & European Debate đžđȘ
Swedenâs Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch has triggered intense discussion after proposing a ban on burqas and niqabs in public spaces, including streets, public buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities.
She argues that full-face coverings conflict with Swedish values of openness, social interaction, and equality, stating that religious practices should adapt to the society they exist in.
The proposal is not a law yet â it would still need parliamentary approval â but it comes amid Swedenâs broader push to address integration challenges, migration policy, and social cohesion.
Supporters say the ban could improve security, communication, and womenâs rights, while critics argue it risks restricting religious freedom, marginalizing Muslim women, and fueling discrimination.
Several European countries such as France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, and Switzerland already enforce similar bans, making Sweden the latest nation to consider joining this controversial policy path.
As Europe continues to balance cultural diversity, national identity, and civil liberties, this debate raises a difficult question:
Should societies adapt to cultural practices â or should cultural practices adapt to society?
Flight Took Off From Hong Kong On January 1, 2026, And Landed In Los Angeles On December 31, 2025, Allowing Passengers To Celebrate New Year’s Twice
The Flight That Celebrated New Year⊠Twice!
Yes, this actually happens â and itâs all thanks to time zones and the International Date Line.
When a flight departs places like Hong Kong or Tokyo just after midnight on January 1, it heads east across the Pacific.
As it crosses the International Date Line, the calendar shifts back by one full day.
Because of this, a flight can take off on January 1, 2026, fly for 11â13 hours, and still land in Los Angeles on December 31, 2025, local time.
Passengers often celebrate:
New Yearâs Day onboard the aircraft
New Yearâs Eve again after landing
Airlines are well aware of this phenomenon, and it happens every year on specific long-haul routes.
Itâs not time travel â just the fascinating way Earth divides time across the globe.
A rare travel moment where the clock turns back⊠but the memories double.
George Clooney Leaves U.S. To Become A French Citizen With His Wife And Twins
Hollywood To Provence: A Family-First Move
George Clooney has officially stepped away from life in the U.S., becoming a French citizen alongside his wife Amal Clooney and their twins, Ella and Alexander.
The family has been living for several years in southern France, where they own a countryside estate in Provence.
Clooney has openly shared that the move wasnât about quitting acting, but about giving their children a more normal, private upbringing â far from paparazzi culture and constant public scrutiny.
Franceâs stricter privacy laws, slower pace of life, and strong emphasis on culture and education played a major role in their decision.
While George Clooney continues to work on select film projects and humanitarian causes, France has become the familyâs primary home base â a place focused on balance, stability, and long-term roots rather than celebrity noise.
For the Clooneys, this isnât an escape â itâs a lifestyle choice centered on peace, family, and purpose.
Different Medical Images of the Hand
X-Ray, CT, or MRI? Hereâs What Each Scan Really Reveals About Your Hand
Ever wondered why your doctor orders different scans for hand injuries? Not all imaging tests do the same thing.
X-Ray
This is usually the first test. It is fast, affordable, and great at showing broken bones, dislocations, and arthritis. Bones show up white, while soft tissues appear gray and air looks black.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
When an X-ray isnât enough, doctors may use a CT scan. It takes multiple X-ray images and turns them into cross-sectional and 3D views. This is ideal for complex fractures, tiny bone cracks, joint alignment problems, or bone tumors.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI does not use radiation. Instead, it uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create highly detailed images of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and nerves. This is the best scan for soft-tissue injuries, tendon tears, ligament damage, and nerve compression.
The choice of scan depends on what the doctor is looking for:
Bone problems â X-ray or CT
Soft tissue problems â MRI
Modern imaging helps doctors see not just bones, but the full structure of your hand, leading to faster and more accurate treatment.

NASA Reveals Earth Is ‘Running Out Of Oxygen’ As Study Pinpoints Date For ‘End Of Life
Earth Isnât âRunning Out of Oxygenâ Tomorrow â But One Day, It Will.
NASA-supported research shows that our oxygen-rich atmosphere is only a temporary chapter in Earthâs long life story.
As the Sun slowly grows hotter over the next 1 billion years, photosynthesis will decline â and oxygen levels will eventually collapse, returning Earth to an ancient, microbe-friendly world.
Itâs not a near-term threat⊠but a mind-bending reminder: even the air we breathe has an expiration date in cosmic time.
