Eight Apache helicopter pilots who wowed a crowd of beachgoers during a Fourth of July airshow were suspended by the South Carolina National Guard — a decision that sparked outrage among lawmakers who argued the airmen should be applauded rather than punished.  Video footage of the military pilots’ low pass during the Salute from the Shore event went viral on social media and showed the attack helicopters thundering along the South Carolina coast as dozens of people waved and cheered them on from the water and sand below.  The South Carolina National Guard said it is reviewing the pilots’ “flight…

The latest exchange of airstrikes by the United States and Iran represents some of the heaviest bombardment they have carried out since reaching a cease-fire agreement last month.While officials in both countries have threatened further escalation, so far it is the United States that has landed most of the blows in the latest volley.The U.S. military said it had hit about 170 targets in the past two days, while Iran’s strikes, which targeted U.S. military bases in several Middle Eastern countries, have been relatively few and largely intercepted by air defense systems.Hossein Kermanpour, a spokesman for Iran’s Health Ministry, said…

Nearly 150 years after gallium was first discovered and added to the periodic table, scientists at the University of Auckland have uncovered previously unknown details about the metal’s atomic structure and behavior. Gallium was discovered in 1875 by French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran. It is best known for its unusually low melting point, which allows a gallium spoon to melt in a cup of hot tea. The metal also plays an essential role in semiconductors and many modern electronic technologies. The newly reported findings focus on how gallium behaves at the atomic level, revealing properties that challenge decades…

How Alcohol Affects PVPV is part of a group of rare chronic blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). While strong scientific evidence has linked alcohol consumption to an increased risk for several cancers, MPNs are not among them.[3][4] Drinking alcohol can, though, worsen PV symptoms and lead to complications in some people.“Some patients find that alcohol can trigger or worsen headaches, flushing, dizziness, or itching,” says Dr. Gerds. “The impact varies considerably from person to person. Some individuals notice no difference, while others find that even small amounts can aggravate symptoms.”Alcohol and Blood Clot RiskAlcohol is a diuretic and can contribute…
