US officials told The Associated Press that the package is expected to be announced on Wednesday, the day the war reaches its six-month end and Ukraine celebrates its independence day. The money will fund contracts for up to three types of drones and other weapons, ammunition and equipment that may not see the front line for a year or two, they said. The total aid package — provided under the Ukraine Security Initiative and the largest to date — could change somewhat overnight, but not very likely....

26.8.2022 3:44 Uhr Im November werden die Amerikaner Teile des Kongresses neu wählen – und dann könnten die Demokraten von Präsident Biden ihre Mehrheiten in beiden Häusern verlieren. Nach langer Zurückhaltung geht er nun in den Angriffsmodus. Ziel: Trumpf. US-Präsident Joe Biden trat vor den Kongresswahlen im November in den Wahlkampf ein und griff den ehemaligen Präsidenten Donald Trump und die Republikaner vernichtend an. Er stellte die Wahl als existenzielle Richtungsentscheidung für das Land dar: “Es steht viel auf dem Spiel”, sagte Biden am Donnerstagabend bei einem Wahlkampfauftritt in Rockville im US-Bundesstaat Maryland nahe der Hauptstadt Washington....

Comment Maxwell Frost is a lot like other Gen Zers—he’s 25, drives Uber for extra cash, and recently quit his job to pursue a more promising opportunity. His last concert? He won a crowded primary in Florida’s heavily Democratic 10th Congressional District on Tuesday night, giving him a strong shot at becoming a member of the US House of Representatives. Frost prevailed over more experienced Democrats, including former congressmen Corrine Brown and Alan Grayson, and state Sen....

Dr. Benedict Albensi and his team say they are investigating whether locally grown flaxseed has an impact on memory. “One particular trial that we’ve been running for two years — but it’s been on hold because of COVID — is a clinical trial with flaxseed,” Albensi said. “Flaxseed has a lot of heart-healthy benefits — it lowers blood pressure and has other heart-healthy benefits, so we’re starting to think about testing it in the brain to see if it can improve memory and, in fact, to help prevent Alzheimer’s....

„Außerdem verstehe ich nicht, warum große Unternehmen von sich aus finanzielle Unterstützung bekommen, kleine aber nicht. Hier muss es klare Kriterien geben, wer welche Rechte hat.“ Mertz, der auch Fraktionsvorsitzender ist, fügte hinzu: „Fakt ist aber: Der Staat kann nicht allen helfen.“ Und: „Wir werden in dieser Krise Unternehmen sehen, die es nicht geschafft haben. Und wir können nicht versprechen, alles aus dem Bundeshaushalt auszugleichen.” Aufgrund der stark gestiegenen Energie- und Lebensmittelpreise arbeitet die Bundesregierung derzeit an einem weiteren Hilfspaket....

Electric heat pumps have been touted as a cheaper, greener way to heat and cool homes. The units use power and refrigerant to transfer heat back and forth between outdoors and indoors. In cooler weather, it draws warm air into a home. in summer it sucks the warm air from inside and carries it outside. “You’re not generating the heat, you’re actually just gathering it and moving it around. It can actually be over 100 percent efficient,” said Sara Hastings-Simon, an energy transition expert and assistant professor of physics at the University....

Every now and then the Earth’s oceans do something absolutely nightmarish. This can be as simple as reminding humanity that huge predators once roamed their depths or, for example, throwing out a monstrous wave capable of decimating everything in its path. IGN recently covered megashocks, so for now we’ll focus on the latter’s destructive capabilities. As part of a new study, a team of researchers modeled the size of a massive tsunami that swept across the South Pacific Ocean earlier this year....

CBS has gone 8 weeks without a break in its LA studios, according to production sources. Security teams managed to keep people AWAY from the studio, unlike previous seasons. As we reported, CBS made the call to beef up security last season … after fans showed up with bull horns, yelling over the wall to try to help some houseguests. In addition to CBS’s security team AND a third company keeping eyes on the venue 24/7, we’re told they’ve also planted production assistants in the area to monitor....

The Pacific Salmon Commission’s pre-season estimate of 9.8 million returning fish was cut to 5.5 million on Monday, prompting environmentalists and fishermen to express concern. “It’s alarmingly bad,” said Greg Taylor, senior fisheries adviser at the Watershed Watch Salmon Society.

While sanctions aimed at undermining Vladimir Putin’s ability to wage his war have inevitably affected ordinary Russians, they have not directly targeted them. Even the ban on Russian planes entering EU airspace and the supply of parts for its aircraft were aimed at weakening its economy, not keeping the Russians out. The visa ban is different because it specifically targets citizens. It reinforces the Kremlin’s false narrative that the sanctions are not really about Ukraine, but a Western plot to bring down Russia and its people....
