A giant part of China’s failed rocket crashed on Earth last Monday, but a few minutes earlier and it would have hit New York City.
According to reports, the pieces would have come down on New York if the Long March 5B would have re-connected with the atmosphere 15 minutes before.
The Chinese Long March CZ-5B was launched on May 5 carrying an experimental body. It malfunctioned after only a week in space and that inevitably led to the catastrophe.
Weighing a massive 20 tons, the rocket core stage came down at our planet at around 11 am ET, with a speed of thousands of miles per minute.
Reports of a 12-m-long object crashing into the village of Mahounou in Cote d'Ivoire. It's directly on the CZ-5B reentry track, 2100 km downrange from the Space-Track reentry location.

Even though a large part of the pieces burned down during the descent, a giant part smashed into the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of West Africa, as reported by the Independent.
According to astronomers, the chunk had a length of 93 feet and weighed a staggering 20 tons – which makes it the largest object in decades to re-enter the atmosphere uncontrollably.
Smaller pieces of the craft landed in Cote d’Ivoire but there were no casualties or injuries reported.
An astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics named Jonathan McDowell spoke to the Independent saying:
“Even in space there’s a thin bit of atmosphere left. Objects in low orbit travel at 18,000 mph, so even a tiny bit of air makes a huge headwind. This causes ‘orbital decay’ – the satellite’s orbit gets lower and lower over time, into the denser atmosphere where the headwind is even bigger.”

The rocket was intended to launch a cargo capsule and a next-gen spaceship built to send astronauts to the Moon.
The re-entry was confirmed by a unit of the United States Air Force that monitors space debris in the orbit of our planet called the 18th Space Control Squadron.
According to the agency, it was notable not only for the size of the rocket but also the extent of its fiery descent.
Experts were not successful in determining where the pieces would eventually land, with many of them speculating it could possibly be in Australia, Africa, the US, or into the ocean.
The course of the debris was extremely difficult to predict and in the end the US Air Force’s prediction was give-or-take half an hour, and it went three-quarters of the way around the world, according to McDowell.

Before it came splashing down into the ocean, the rocket core flew above New York City and LA.
Even though the descent was described as ‘uncontrolled,’ it was not unplanned – such launches are planned with the re-entry of parts of rockets or launch vehicles – sometimes in uncontrolled and sometimes controlled descents back to our planet.
‘I’ve never seen a major reentry pass directly over so many major conurbations,’ said McDowell, adding that it fortunately missed any land inhabited by people.
According to astronomers, the chance of it landing in an area where people live was small but if it did do so the rocket core could have demolished a building.
“For a large object like this, dense pieces like parts of the rocket engines could survive reentry and crash to Earth,’ McDowell told CNN. Once they reach the lower atmosphere they are traveling relatively slowly, so worst case is they could take out a house.”

The first moments when John kindly releases the mouse can be described as touching, with the tiny critter rushing out, and doing what looks like a celebratory lap. What happened next, however, was more than horrific.

Photographer takes photos of cats and dogs from underneath and the results are mind-blowing
Every pet owner has a vast collection of pictures of their beloved furry best friends.
Their phones and their cameras are stacked up with adorable shots of every heart-melting, cute thing their four-legged buddies have ever done.
This photographer has taken the pet photoshoots on another level.
Andrius Burba, a creative photographer from Lithuania, is working on an unusual project. He takes pictures of lovely dogs and cats from underneath.
After the huge success Andrius had with his cat’s underside photoshoot project, he decided to step his game up and take similar pictures of dogs too.
The Lithuanian photographer notes that cats are indeed very cute, but dogs are more lively and playful. On the project’s website, Burba writes:
“Under-Dogs” project was born naturally. After seeing that “Under-Cats” results were amazingly interesting there was no doubt that dogs will look interesting too.”
The first Under-Dogs photoshoot took place in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, back in 2016.
Along with Burba’s cats and dogs’ underlook shots, the photographer also takes pictures from this unique angle of other pets such as rabbits and horses.

The reporter , whom the president confronted , was the CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang .

The CBS correspondent who already has a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president asked : “ You ’ ve said many times that the US is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing .

On Monday, during the press conference, President Donald Trump abruptly interrupted the coronavirus briefing after getting into a conflict with a Chinese-American reporter.
The reporter, whom the president confronted, was the CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang. When Jiang asked about the rising death toll caused by the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., Trump told her she should ‘ask China’.
The CBS correspondent who already has a history of getting into spats with the president asked:
“You’ve said many times that the US is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you when every day Americans are losing their lives, and we’re still seeing more cases every day?”
To these candid questions, President Trump responded:
“They’re losing their lives everywhere in the world, and maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China that question. When you ask them that question, you may get a very unusual answer.”
Clearly, Trump’s ignorant response offended Jiang, who is Chinese-American. After the president pointed to the next reporter, Kaitlan Collins from CNN, she politely let Jiang ask a follow-up question. As she was still obviously shocked by Trump’s previous answer, she said:
“Why are you saying that to me – specifically – that I should ask China?”
The U.S. President tried to explain he didn’t mean to particularly point to Jiang. He answered:
“I’m not saying it specifically to anybody, I’m saying it to anybody that asks a nasty question.”
However, the reporter couldn’t accept Trump’s attitude, so she backfired, saying her question was not ‘nasty’ as he labeled it.
Weijia Jiang wasn’t the only reporter affected by Trump’s bluntness at the coronavirus briefing on Monday.
Kaitlan Collins’ turn was bypassed by the President, as he pointed to the next in line, Yamiche Alcindor of PBS. When the CNN correspondent said she still had questions, Trump interrupted her, saying:
“I did [call on you], and you didn’t respond, and now I’m calling on the young lady in the back.”
As they couldn’t reach a compromise, the President put an end to the briefing at the Rose Garden and walked out.
This was not the first time Trump has blamed China for the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, as UPWORTHY notes. He believes that some of the damages that the outbreak has caused could have been avoided if the Chinese government warned the world about the virus in time. Moreover, he claims that China has even silenced whistleblowers like Dr. Li Wenliang, who tried to warn colleagues about the pandemic.

The CBS Chinese-American reporter didn’t confront President Donald Trump for the first time either.
Last month, Weijia Jiang criticized the U.S. President for not warning the American residents about the coronavirus outbreak in February.
She also asked Trump why he had waited until March 16 to impose a nationwide lockdown and social distancing restrictions. Her questions were followed by a vigorous debate.
As the correspondent was trying to get a clear answer to her questions by interrupting the President, he told her to speak ‘nice and easy’, and to keep her voice down.

Last week, in an interview with the New York Post, President Trump singled out two CBS News journalists as people who particularly irritated him. Weijia Jiang was one of them, followed by her colleague Paula Reid. Trump told the Post:
“It wasn’t Donna Reed, I can tell you that. Paula Reid, she’s sitting there and I say, ‘How angry. I mean, what’s the purpose?’ They’re not even tough questions, but you see the attitude of these people, it’s like incredible.”
By saying “It wasn’t Donna Reed”, the President referred to the actress best known for playing Mary Bailey in “It’s A Wonderful Life”, and later starring as the mom in a TV sitcom of the ’50s and ’60s.
When Paula Reid, the reporter Trump accused of having a mean attitude, learned about the President’s words about her, she posted on her Twitter account:
“President Trump tells New York Post I am nothing like 50’s American archetypal mom Donna Reed. Fact-check: True.”

The latest spat Trump got into during the Monday COVID-19 briefing unsurprisingly faced severe criticism.
For instance, Olivia Nuzzi, Washington correspondent for New York magazine, accused him of being unprofessional while interacting with female reporters. Nuzzi tweeted:
“The President’s unprofessionalism is always revealed most clearly when he is interacting with female reporters who conduct themselves calmly and professionally in response.”

As CNN reports, a spokesperson from the media declined to comment on the situation. Also, a spokesperson for CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


iheartintelligence--2020-05-14--Unicef warns: 6,000 children could die every day as coronavirus disrupts vital healthcare services

Every day over the next six months 6,000 children around the world could die as health services are being disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic .
As the whole world is currently battling with the ongoing epidemic , there is a global disturbance of essential maternal and child health interventions .
This includes family planning , birth , postnatal care , and vaccinations , as The Guardian reveals .
The UN has warned this could result in an additional 1.2 million deaths of children under the age of five in just six months .
The distressing analysis was published in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health .
On Wednesday , Unicef stated that this foreseen statistic could reverse a decade of progress on ending preventable child deaths .
Sacha Deshmukh , the Unicef UK ’ s executive director said : “ This pandemic is having far-reaching consequences for all of us , but it is undoubtedly the biggest and most urgent global crisis children have faced since the second world war .
Children ’ s lives are being upended across the globe – their support systems ripped away , their borders closed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supply cut off .
Even in the UK , children face the threat of a measles outbreak and school closures are putting vulnerable children at increased risk.
” According to the research , coronavirus has been incredibly disruptive to medical supply chains in countries with weak health systems .
The study is taking into consideration three modeled scenarios in low- and middle-income countries .
In the best-case scenario , where health services are reduced by nearly 15 % , there would be a 9.8 % increase in under-five child deaths and a rise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As for the worst-case scenario , if health services are reduced by about 45 % , the increase in deaths of children under the age of five will be 44.7 % per month .
The jump in maternal deaths will be 38.6 % .

Nonetheless , they show that , if routine healthcare is disrupted and access to food is decreased ( as a result of unavoidable shocks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made in responding to the pandemic ) , the increase in child and maternal deaths will be devastating.
” Furthermore , the Unicef ’ s Jordan representative Tanya Chapuisat insisted that the closure of borders has also stopped many people from accessing medical assistance .
Chapuisat stated : “ An estimated 10,000 Syrians [ along the Syrian-Jordanian border near Rukban ] have been unable to receive any medical services [ in Jordan ] since lockdown started six weeks ago and the border was closed .
Children aren ’ t getting vaccines , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ haven ’ t been able to .

“Because it happened after the fact and does not present as a normal COVID case, it may not have been initially diagnosed as a COVID case,” the governor said.“COVID cases are normally respiratory. This is not predominantly respiratory. It’s an inflammation of the blood vessels, which could affect the heart.”
There have been 73 reported cases in NY of children getting severely ill with symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease and toxic shock-like syndrome.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against three Louisville police officers in the killing of EMT Breonna Taylor. Her family claims she was “executed” by police as officers served a search warrant in the middle of the night. ABC News' Megan Tevrizian has details. pic.twitter.com/wkURRPYVOM — ABC World News Now (@abcWNN) May 14, 2020
According to records, the police investigation was focused on a “trap house” more than 10 miles away from Breonna’s apartment.
A judge had apparently approved a “no-knock” search warrant, which meant that officers did not even have to identify themselves, as per The Courier-Journal.
The lawsuit states that Breonna and Kenneth were sleeping in their bedroom when cops in plainclothes and unmarked cars came to their home in search of a suspect who lived in another part of the city and was already caught by police.

Furthermore, Brendan Murphy, Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Professor, also addresses that international travel won’t be able to recover its dynamic anytime soon.
On Wednesday, Brendan Murphy told a Senate inquiry into the government’s response to COVID-19 that border closures remained a necessity for handling the outbreak. He declared:
“I have no vision at the moment on the current international scene where international border measures of some very strong vigour won’t be necessary.”
According to Prof. Murphy, interstate and territory borders would be reopened long before overseas travel. He believes coronavirus cases would still be transmitted on a weekly basis through returned travelers. In addition, he stated that Australia’s strategy was to maintain strong suppression, or elimination in parts of the country, while slowly resuming the economy.
Understandably, airline companies have been struggling to avoid a possible bankrupt amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
For instance, two weeks ago, Virgin Australia was the first to fold with the company going into voluntary administration, owing nearly $7 billion.
On the contrary, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce firmly believes that domestic operations could return to normal in about two months. Mr. Joyce said:
“I don’t think there is any other airline in the world that has a market that is more positive than what we have.”

According to the study published last Thursday in Function, a journal for science, the research points at the importance of the throat and saliva glands in the replication and transmission of the virus.
Sars-Cov-2, which is an enveloped virus that causes Covid-19, has a lipid, or fatty membrane. According to the authors of the study, there has been “no discussion” thus far about whether causing damage to this membrane could potentially play a part in stopping the virus in the throat.
Other studies have shown that mouthwash can harm the membrane in other viruses.
The authors noted that it is not yet certain whether this would also apply to the coronavirus.
“Safe use of mouthwash – as in gargling – has so far not been considered by public health bodies in the UK. In test tube experiments and limited clinical studies, some mouthwashes contain enough of known virucidal ingredients to effectively target lipids in similar enveloped viruses. What we don’t know yet is whether existing mouthwashes are active against the lipid membrane of Sars-CoV-2. Our review of the literature suggests that research is needed as a matter of urgency to determine its potential for use against this new virus. This is an under-researched area of major clinical need – and we hope that research projects will be quickly mobilised to further evaluate this,” lead author of the study, Professor Valerie O’Donnell, said.
