Philadelphia, PENNSYLVANIA

Anadolu Agency visited the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia in the US state of Pennsylvania, and documented gut-wrenching scenes of drug abuse among the city's homeless population.

The scenes were eerily reminiscent of gritty Hollywood films with long rows of unsheltered people lining the city's streets, many of whom were seen in a cycle of opioid drug abuse.

Kensington has been stuck in the thick of the US's opioid epidemic.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf apologized for the ravages inflicted on the city "hard hit by this crisis" after touring Kensington in September.

"They deserve our help to get quality treatment and support. I am committed to fight for the people and communities harmed by the opioid epidemic," he said.

Making nonsense with Holy QURAN:
A Bangladeshi Shaikh, named Ali Hasan Osama raise His voice against it and said,
"Played football with Quran. The Qur'an has been thrown down. Burned the Quran. Rasulullah SAW was also abused in vulgar language and the whole thing was also broadcasted live. All this happened on the day of Eid near a mosque in Sweden in front of the Muslims who came for Eid prayers. On the contrary, two Muslims were arrested by the Swedish police when the protest escalated. Because it is illegal to block personal freedom! Ya Asafa!

At the time when this horrible tragedy is happening in Sweden, Russian President Putin is visiting a mosque and hugging a book of Quran. Declaring such desecration of the Quran illegal and a punishable offense in his country. Condemning the arrogance of the Swedes. Putin is to thank for his position, albeit for political gain.

The two-legged Inhuman seen in the first three films is an Iraqi Nasara. Name Salwan Momika. Got citizenship of Sweden just a year ago. This infernal worm of crucifixion has set fire to the liver of the entire Muslim Ummah bearing the flag of the moon and stars. In the fire which they have kindled, they themselves will be wretchedly burnt to death. Such an open challenge to the nation of lions will never end well"

Five dead on Titan sub were 'true explorers' - OceanGate
The five people who died on the Titan submersible were "true explorers", the company who operated the dive has said.

The men "shared a distinct spirit of adventure," said OceanGate in a statement.
The five died in what the US Coast Guard believes was a catastrophic implosion.

Parts of the submersible were found on Thursday, approximately 1,600ft (487m) from the bow of the Titanic wreck. It had disappeared on Sunday.
The men on board the sub included Stockton Rush, the 61-year-old CEO of OceanGate, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman, 19, and British businessman Hamish Harding, 58.

The fifth man on board, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, was a 77-year-old former French navy diver and renowned explorer.
At a news conference on Thursday, Rear Adm John Mauger of the US Coast Guard said that the debris is believed to be the Titan submersible.

It is unclear what led to the destruction of the Titan, but it has emerged that the US Navy may have heard it implode.

A navy official told Perdu News that "an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion" was detected shortly after the Titan lost contact with the surface.
The disappearance of the vessel led to a massive international search involving US, Canadian, British and French teams.

OceanGate said it appreciated "their commitment to finding these five explorers, and their days and nights of tireless work in support of our crew and their families".

The family of Mr Harding described him as "one of a kind".

"He was a passionate explorer - whatever the terrain - who lived his life for his family, his business and for the next adventure," the family said in a statement released by Mr Harding's company, Action Aviation.

A statement from the Dawood family thanked rescue crews and said they are "overwhelmed with the love and support that it has received and is grateful to the those who showcased the best in humanity".

Azmeh Dawood told Perdu News that her nephew Suleman was "terrified" before going on the trip, but braved the journey because he was eager to please his father.

"I feel disbelief," she said. "It's an unreal situation."

Dive expert David Mearns said he lost two friends, Mr Harding and Mr Nargeolet, in a "most horrific way".

"Hamish Harding was a terrific character," Mr Mearns said, adding that Mr Nargeolet was "almost a legend really" in the field of deep sea exploration.

Hear that? That's the sound of space.
Cosmic Harmonies: Sonifications From NASA Telescopes
Astronomers often use multiple telescopes to observe objects in space. Different telescopes can see different kinds of light, so each telescope provides unique information about what is being observed. This is similar to how notes of different scales can be played together to create harmonies not possible with individual notes alone.

In recent years, NASA has been "sonifying" astronomical data obtained from objects in space. This project takes digital data captured by space telescopes (most of which is invisible to the naked eye) and converts it into musical notes and sounds that can be heard rather than seen. Each layer of sound in these insonifications represents a specific wavelength of light detected in various combinations by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer Space Telescope.
R Aquarii (top)

The system, called R Aquarii, contains two stars - a white dwarf and a red giant - that orbit each other. In the composite visual image, the Hubble data (red and blue) show dramatic structures showing outbursts produced by a pair of stars buried at the center of the image. X-ray images of Chandra show white dwarf jets impacting surrounding material, creating shock waves. When R Aquaria is sonicated, the piece, as a radar scan of frame
, moves clockwise from the 12 o'clock position, with the center determining the musical pitch (higher notes are further apart).The deep bars toward the four corners are "diffraction peaks," artifacts of the bright central star. Listeners can hear the white dwarf's jets as the cursor moves near the two and eight o'clock positions. The tape strings captured by Hubble produce a rising and falling melody that sounds like a series of singing bowls (metal bowls that produce different sounds and pitches when struck with a hammer), while the Chandra data sounds more like a synthetic jerk purrs.

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 481
As the war enters its 481st day, these are the main developments.
Piatykhatky in the Zaporizhia region has been taken by Ukrainian forces, marking Kyiv's second victory on that front since it began its counteroffensive earlier this month, according to cial in Ukraine. Rogov said that "hundreds" of Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and that the Ukrainians had launched waves of strikes.

According to the Russian defense ministry, its soldiers successfully withstood a number of Ukrainian assaults along three stretches of the front line. The ministry did not identify Piatykhatky, but claimed that Kyiv was pressing most vigorously in the Zaporizhia region.
Ukraine’s army said its air force carried out 14 raids on Russian positions and destroyed two anti-aircraft missile systems.

Serhiy Bratchuk, the spokesperson for the Odesa military administration, said Ukraine destroyed a “significant” ammunition depot near the Russian-occupied port city of Henichesk in the southern region of Kherson.

US Secretary of State is on a two-day trip to China. He met Chinese Foreign Minister in and is also expected to meet Chinese President . This is Blinken's first trip to as US Secretary of State. This is also the first high-level visit by a US official to China in nearly five years.
On Sunday, the U.S. secretary of state and the Chinese foreign minister had what they both described as open and fruitful discussions about their disagreements, which ranged from Taiwan to trade, but they didn't seem to agree on anything beyond continuing the conversation in the hopes of eventually meeting in Washington.

U.S. and Chinese officials spoke after a 5-and-a-half-hour discussion and dinner to express their wish for predictable and stable relations, but China made it plain that Taiwan is its top concern and biggest risk.
Making the first visit to China by a U.S. secretary of state in five years, Antony Blinken stressed "the need to reduce the risk of misperception and miscalculation" in his talks with Foreign Minister Qin Gang, the State Department said.

"Qin Gang pointed out that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, the most important issue in Sino-U.S. relations, and the most prominent risk," Chinese state media quoted Qin as having told the top U.S. diplomat.

"China's economic uncertainties may have caused the selloff after a two-day rebound in oil markets ahead of The People's Bank of China's (PBOC) decision on its loan prime rates (LPR) this week," said Tina Teng, an analyst at CMC Markets.

A number of major banks have cut their 2023 gross domestic product growth forecasts for China after May data last week showed the post-COVID recovery in the world's second-largest economy was faltering.

PBOC is widely expected to cut its benchmark loan prime interest rates on Tuesday, following a similar reduction in medium-term policy loans last week to shore up a shaky economic recovery.

According to Tina Teng, an analyst at CMC Markets, "China's economic uncertainties may have caused the selloff after a two-day recovery in oil markets ahead of The People's Bank of China's (PBOC) decision on its loan prime rates (LPR) this week."

After May data last week revealed the post-COVID rebound in the second-largest economy in the world was stalling, several major banks lowered their 2023 gross domestic product growth projections for China.

Following a similar decrease in the interest rates on medium-term policy loans last week to support a weak economic recovery, the PBOC is widely anticipated to reduce the benchmark lending prime rates on Tuesday.

Sources have told Reuters that China will roll out more stimulus support for its slowing economy this year, but concerns over debt and capital flight will keep the measures targeted at shoring up weak demand in the consumer and private sectors.

Still, China's refinery throughput rose in May to its second-highest total on record, helping to boost last week's gains, and U.S. energy firms cut the number of working oil and natural gas rigs for a seventh week in a row for the first time since July 2020.

According to sources cited by Reuters, China will continue to implement stimulus measures to boost its weakening economy this year, but worries about debt and capital flight will keep the initiatives focused on bolstering consumer and private sector demand.

Nevertheless, last week's advances were boosted by China's refinery throughput, which in May reached its second-highest level on record. Additionally, U.S. energy companies reduced the number of active oil and natural gas rigs for the sixth week in a row for the first time since July 2020.

humble beginnings into a multi million dollar organisation
whose influence spans the globe. Led by the Founder
Richard Browning who dared to ask 'what if'.
Gravity have flown at over 60 events in 20 countries in
the 18 months since launch, including at four TED talks
and two Wired events. Viewed by millions, it's an
unforgettable experience.

RPM = 120,000
Fight Time: Up to 8 minutes
Speed: Typically in excess of 60km/h
Pilot weight: Under 85kg with current Jet Suit
The future of aeronautical innovation rests on the shoulders
of those we inspire today. Gravity Industries is committed to demonstrating to young people and students across the globe that human flight is not just a possibility, but already a reality.
Through our work in STEM, we seek to engage, inspire and create ambition for the next generation of leaders in aeronautical disruption through the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. To show that these subjects can unlock fascinating careers, solve some of the world’s greatest challenges and biggest questions.
A gas turbine (or jet engine) is a machine that converts energy-rich, liquid fuel into a powerful pushing force called thrust. Five small gas turbine engines provide enough thrust to allow Gravity Jet Suit pilots to fly and manoeuvre in the air.
A jet engine uses the same scientific principle as a car engine: it burns fuel with air in a chemical reaction called combustion. This releases energy. A gas turbine is designed to hoover up huge amounts of air and burn it with vast amounts of fuel (roughly 50 parts air to 1 part fuel), so the main reason why it makes more power than a car engine is because it can burn more fuel.Because intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust all happen simultaneously, a jet engine can produce maximum power all the time. However, this is bad for mechanical reliability of the engine

‘He didn’t want to be the bad guy’ – Carlos Tevez explains why Lionel Messi did not push for Barcelona return & opted for Inter Miami move instead.
Carlos Tevez has offered his take on why Lionel Messi did not return to Barcelona, with the Argentine eager to avoid being portrayed as “the bad guy
‘He didn’t want to be the bad guy’ – Carlos Tevez explains why Lionel Messi did not push for Barcelona return & opted for Inter Miami move instead
Argentine leaving PSG as a free agent
Return to Camp Nou speculated on
Taking on a new challenge in MLS
WHAT HAPPENED? An emotional retracing of steps to Camp Nou for seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi appeared to be on the cards at one stage, with talks held between the respective camps as the 35-year-old forward ran down his contract at Paris Saint-Germain towards free agency. No deal was done, though, and the 2022 World Cup winner will now be heading to MLS at Inter Miami. Tevez can understand why his former international colleague has taken that decision, as financial issues in Catalunya would have required others to take a pay cut or move on in order for an agreement with Messi to be reached.

WHAT THEY SAID: Tevez has told ESPN: “It seems to me that Leo took the decision knowing and understanding his own situation. He didn’t want to go back to Barcelona and have his team-mates lower their salaries and be the bad guy again. It hurt him more than anyone not being able to return to Barcelona, which is his home. I think it was all very lukewarm on Barcelona’s part. Leo opted for the league in the United States. He likes Miami, it’s a tranquillity for him and his family. I think what he did was the right thing to do. If it wasn’t Barcelona, where he knew he was going to be the centre of attraction again, it was nothing in Europe. The decision was very well made.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi has agreed an initial two-and-a-half-year deal with Inter Miami and is expected to link up with the David Beckham co-owned franchise in early July – as he is currently on international duty with Argentina ahead of their friendly dates with Australia and Indonesia.
WHAT NEXT? Barcelona, who have been working on cutting costs for some time, are now turning their attention elsewhere when it comes to summer signings – with Messi destined to finish his remarkable playing career without adding to his haul of 672 goals and 34 trophies for the Blaugrana.

One hundred years ago, Sir Harley Dalrymple-Hay undertook a project to build a six and a half kilometer subway system in Calcutta. It called for a tunnel under the Hooghly River to connect Calcutta with Howrah.
When Kolkata commuters board India's first river-driven train later this year, they won't remember that a Bengal-born British engineer came up with such a plan a century ago. That plan, however, did not materialize.
Sir Harley Dalrymple-Hay's ambitious plan was a six-and-a-half kilometer long subway system with a total of ten stations. It also included the construction of a tunnel under the Hooghly River to connect Calcutta with Howrah. But due to insufficient funds and doubts about the geological composition of Calcutta's soil, this grand plan never materialized.But finally in October 1984, a metro rail system was launched in Kolkata. It started with a line of only 3.4 km long and 5 stations. Now Kolkata's busy metro-rail system is 31 km long, with 26 stations. Half of the entire line is underground. Another section of Kolkata Metro is going to be launched this December, which will pass under the river Hooghly. It will be India's first under-river railway.
The length of a pair of tunnels dug under Hooghly is 520 meters, and the length of metro rail link from Kolkata to Hooghly is 4.8 km. The tunnel is built 52 feet below the river bed. When the line opens, it is expected to carry 3,000 passengers per hour.
However, this section of metro that passes under the river is actually part of a larger link between Howrah and Salt Lake in East Kolkata. Sir Hurley's first plan in 1921 can be said to be identical in design.

But Sir Hurley didn't just design a metro line – he created a complete underground metro master plan for Calcutta, with lines extending further north and far south of Calcutta.

He elaborated his plan in a book titled 'Calcutta Tube Railways'. The book contains many intricate maps of Kolkata and many drawings of proposed metro lines. There is also a calculation of how much it will cost to build such a tube rail.
He also recommended installation of escalators and fans at all stations in this proposed metro rail of Kolkata. He wrote, "Maintaining a comfortable temperature in trains and underground stations is very important, as Calcutta has to take into account the heat that falls on the ground during certain seasons."

By the time Sir Hurley was thinking of his plans for Calcutta, however, underground railways had been opened in London, Paris and New York.
The world's first underground railway opened in London on January 10, 1863. The line from Paddington (then called Bishop's Road) to Farringdon Street was operated by the Metropolitan Railway.
The world's first under-river tunnel was the Thames Tunnel, which opened in 1843. It was built by an engineer named Sir Mac Brunel and his son Isambard. Their aim was to enable goods to pass under the busy river Thames. But after starting the work, their funds ran out. As a result, the tunnel was eventually opened as a pedestrian attraction only.
By 1921, however, at least ten tunnels had been opened under the River Thames, most of them for rail traffic. However, some tunnels are also used for various purposes starting from road and pedestrian crossing.

So when Sir Hurley designed a tunnel under the Hooghly River in Calcutta in 1921, it was no big deal in that sense.
He was born in 1861 in Birbhum district of West Bengal. He studied engineering at Edinburgh University, then joined the London Underground. He worked on the Bakerloo Line, Hampstead Tube and Piccadilly Line. The Imperial Legislative Council, which ruled British India at that time, decided that Calcutta needed a tube railway system. Then in 1921 the responsibility of this plan was given to Sir Harley.
But Sir Hurley planned the Calcutta tube rail without setting foot on Calcutta soil. He sent one of his assistants to Calcutta "to collect all necessary information and make inquiries, so that he may prepare a report on the construction of a tube railway for Calcutta and the adjoining municipality of Howrah."

The first section of the rail network proposed by Sir Hurley was to run from Bagmari, a neighborhood in East Calcutta, to Benares Road in Howrah.
But then the cost of this grand scheme was estimated at 3.5 million pounds. It was thought that the project would not be funded as it was considered too expensive.

In December 1947, the news that the tube rail dream would never materialize appeared on the front page of The Calcutta Municipal Gazette.

"Considering the cost, they thought it would be much better to build the rail line overhead", a municipal councilor commented at the time after a council meeting.
So the plan to build the first railway line under the river in India was scuttled.
Although Sir Hurley's tube rail plans never saw the light of day, he left a lasting impression on Calcutta. In 1928, the Calcutta Electricity Supply Company, CESC, requested him to construct a tunnel under the Hooghly River, which would run from Calcutta to Howrah. And the electricity cable will be drawn through this tunnel. This challenge he accepts, but stipulates that the work be given to a contractor he trusts. CESC agreed. In 1931, the first tunnel under the river was made in Calcutta.
Sir Hurley's tunnel under the Hooghly River is still in use. But only the power line passed through this tunnel, the train did not run.

"Don Jr. thinks he knows why Biden’s DOJ picked a certain day to indict his father"
Donald Trump Jr. is certain he knows why Joe Biden’s Justice Department picked Thursday to indict his father, former President Donald Trump.

In a tweet, Trump Jr. said the timing of the indictment was designed to mask what Republicans had learned about Biden earlier in the day.

“On the same day that a story broke about a whistleblower alleging Joe Biden took a 5 million dollar bribe from Burisma in Ukraine, Biden’s corrupt DOJ decides to indict Trump over BS charges. Do you really think that’s a coincidence?” Trump Jr. noted on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1666958912547876867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1666958912547876867%7Ctwgr%5E3cce25e6cf8164c85dfae6c1998a1ff1357d8617%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fusajournal.news%2F2023%2F06%2F10%2Fdon-jr-thinks-he-knows-why%2F

“Donald Trump is no fan of mine. He primaried me last year. I’m not a shill, but I see this, how unfair it’s been. And I just can’t believe this is happening,” she noted.

“Two days ago, I said this would happen on the day we either held in contempt Christopher Wray with the FBI or we got access to those documents. I predicted it, and it came true. This is a banana republic. I just can not believe this is actually happening. He’s trying to take out his political opponent,” she said.

“Every time Biden comes under the microscope, every time we show corruption by Joe Biden and his family, there’s an indictment on Donald Trump… I can’t believe this is happening,” she added.

“On the same day that a story broke about a whistleblower alleging Joe Biden took a 5 million dollar bribe from Burisma in Ukraine, Biden's corrupt DOJ decides to indict Trump over BS charges. Do you really think that's a coincidence?”

Ukraine's Zelenskyy confirms that an offensive against Russia is underway
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday gave his first formal confirmation that Ukraine's long-awaited offensive was underway against Russian troops.
"Counteroffensive and defensive actions are taking place in Ukraine. At what stage, I will not say in detail," Zelenskyy said in a joint news conference with visiting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The Canadian leader pledged an additional $375 million in military aid to Ukraine. His country has provided some $6 billion since Russia launched a full-scale invasion more than 15 months ago.
Ukraine's offensive has been gradually coming into focus in recent days, with ground attacks against Russian troops in three separate areas in the southeast and east of the country.
Prior to Zelenskky's remarks, Ukrainian leaders had declined to say whether the operation had begun. The Ukrainians have repeatedly said they will share few details about their offensive, billed as the biggest such operation since the Russian invasion in February of last year.
Meanwhile, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said Friday that Russian forces were beating back Ukrainian attempts to advance.
"We can clearly say the offensive has started, as indicated by the Ukrainian army's use of strategic reserves," Putin said during a meeting with other heads of state in the southern Russian city of Sochi. "But the Ukrainian troops haven't achieved their stated tasks in a single area of fighting."
