A second man in his early 20s with a slender build, wearing all-black clothing, a black backpack and red and black shoes acted as a lookout. Both men left the bank before any money was surrendered, police said.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Soldiers from the U.S., Indonesia and five other nations began annual training exercises Thursday on Indonesia’s main island of Java while China’s increasing aggression is raising concern.American and Indonesian soldiers have held the live-fire drill since 2009, and Australia, Japan and Singapore joined last year.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Gabonese awoke Thursday to a new military leader after mutinous soldiers ousted a president whose family had ruled the oil-rich Central African nation for more than five decades.The new leader is Gen. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, head of the elite republican guard unit, soldiers announced on state TV Wednesday hours after President Ali Bongo Ondimba was declared winner of last week’s presidential election, which Gabonese and observers say was marred with irregularities and a lack of transparency.The soldiers accused Bongo of irresponsible governance that risked leading the country into chaos and have put him under house arrest and detained several people in his cabinet, they said. While there were legitimate grievances about the vote and Bongo’s rule, his ousting is just a pretext to claim power for themselves, Gabon experts say. “The timing of the coup, following the announcement of the implausible electoral results, and the speed with which the j...Meteorological Autumn Season to Open With Hot Holiday Weekend in Chicago

Consumption and production patterns have wide environmental and social impacts. The Sustainable Development Goal 'Responsible consumption and production' (SDG 12) calls for action on many fronts. These include the adoption of sustainable practices by businesses, promotion of sustainable procurement practices by policymakers, environmentally aware lifestyles of consumers as well as the development of new technologies and production and consumption methods, by researchers, scientists and others.Monitoring SDG 12 in an EU context focuses on progress made in decoupling environmental impacts from economic growth, fostering the green economy, while tackling waste generation and management.Source dataset: SDG_12_21, SDG_12_41, SDG_12_51In 2020, raw material consumption decreased by 3% (13.7 tonnes per capita) compared with 2016 (14.0 tonnes per capita).

“Today is special,” Beyonce said to the nearly 50,000 fans who stood before her. “Because today I am the mayor.”It may indeed been a special day for the multiplatinum-selling pop star — who had been made honorary mayor of the city of Santa Clara — but the night turned out to be a completely different story, as Beyonce muddled through a concert that was far more mixed bag than masterpiece on Wednesday at Levi’s Stadium.Maybe it’s indeed been a different story in other cities, given that Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour has received pretty much rave reviews in all previous stops. But it’s hard to see how given the many flaws in the production, which bombards viewers with everything short of the kitchen sink but still fails to really connect with fans.The result could be seen in the lackluster response from the audience, which exhibited far less energy and enthusiasm than what you’re use to seeing at big stadium shows.It...Single-family home sells for $1.9 million in San Jose

(CNN) — No es solo el título de una película del llamado Brat Pack de la década de 1980: el fuego de San Telmo es el nombre que se le da a los destellos brillantes y repentinos de aparentes relámpagos que pueden bailar a través de un cielo nublado cuando hay tormentas cercanas.Dos pilotos compartieron imágenes del fenómeno que salpicaban la vista desde la ventana de su cabina este martes mientras evacuaban de una base aérea de Florida en preparación para el huracán Idalia. Mientras el avión volaba, rayos de luz azul brillante parecieron golpear el aire afuera, desapareciendo tan rápido como aparecieron.Los marineros han observado esta característica de las tormentas durante siglos, según un artículo de 2020 sobre el fuego de San Telmo de la oficina de noticias del Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts. Y le pusieron el nombre de San Telmo, o Erasmo de Formia, el santo cristiano de los marineros.Se sabe que el fenómeno ocurre cuando la fricción dentro de una nube de tormenta p...Latest news
