Mientras termina el mes de octubre y se acerca halloween, los amantes de los fenómenos celestes podrán disfrutar este fin de semana de una luna llena especial.La luna del cazador o el Hunter’s moon llenará el cielo el sábado 28 de octubre y será la última luna llena del mes.¿POR QUÉ LA LUNA LLENA SE LLAMA LUNA DE CAZADOR?Según el Old Farmer’s Almanac, se llama la luna del cazador porque se utilizaba como señal para que los cazadores se prepararan para el invierno. La luna que se produce más cerca de la fecha del equinoccio de otoño, que es el 23 de septiembre, es la que adopta el nombre de luna del cazador en lugar de su nombre tradicional.La luna del cazador también se conoce como luna sanguinaria o de sangre, porque se asocia con la sangre de la caza o el color de las hojas cambiantes del otoño.“Como los campos habían sido desbrozados recientemente bajo la luna del cazador, los cazadores podían divisar fácilmente ciervos y otros animales que habían salido en busc...

VALLETTA, Malta (AP) — Talks on Ukraine’s plan for peace kicked off in Malta on Saturday, with the participation of more than 65 countries — but not Russia, Maltese and Ukrainian officials said.The two-day meeting of national security delegates is the third round of such talks in recent months. Ukraine sees them as an opportunity to win support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s 10-point peace plan from countries across the globe, especially as the conflict in the Middle East risks shifting the focus away from Ukraine. Russia has dismissed the initiative as biased and refused to attend the meetings.“Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts are paying off, as international support for the Ukrainian peace formula is growing,” The head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, wrote on X — formerly known as Twitter — ahead of the opening session, stressing the strong international attendance.The initial round of talks in Copenhagen in June saw just 15 participants, rising to 43 f...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:31 GMT

Former Ontario inmates saw their risk of dying from a toxic-drug overdose jump as much as 50 per cent at the start of the pandemic compared to the years before COVID-19, says a study.The study in the medical journal PLOS One compared pandemic impacts on opioid toxicity death rates between people who had and had not been incarcerated in Ontario between 2015 and 2020.It found overall risk jumped substantially when COVID-19 emerged with a slew of infection control measures, but the increase in risk was particularly large for people who had been behind bars or released during the years studied.Lead author Amanda Butler, assistant professor of criminology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, says COVID-19 further exacerbated risk by 1.5 times for men and 1.2 times for women who were incarcerated.The most substantial impact was on individuals between the ages of 25 and 49 who experienced incarceration.“Our interest was in whether COVID disproportionately impacted people w...

Musk offers aid organizations in Gaza access to Starlink

Tech billionaire Elon Musk offered the use of his Starlink satellite internet service on Saturday for humanitarian aid organizations in Gaza after Israeli bombings cut power.The Gaza Strip, which is controlled Hamas, has been without internet and telephone communication amid escalating airstrikes and a ground campaign by the Israeli military. This has left civilians unable to call for help and aid organizations unable to communicate.Musk said his company would give access to "internationally recognized" aid organizations, though it is unclear how quickly they would be able to connect to the technology as it requires special equipment.However, Musk's commitment came in response to criticism of Israel’s decision to cut communication from Rep. Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).“Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable,” Ocacio-Cortez said on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday. “Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innoce...
