Gas And Diesel Truckers Can Now Work 16 Hours A Day So We Can Have ‘Cheaper’ Gas

Apriori1/Getty Images The latest news on oil is bad. Not only are stores beginning to ration motor oil, but gas prices are rocketing towards that record high average price per gallon Americans paid back in 2022. To help put any sort of plug in the sinking ship that is the current gas and diesel supply, Washington is giving the truckers who transport those essential fuels the gift of longer days. In U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's own words delivered Wednesday, the Department is temporarily adding "flexibility to its hours of service rules," which means truck drivers who explicitly transport fuels like gas and diesel can now drive up to 16 hours a day for the next 90 days. Prior to this new "flex," transport driv...

Tomato risotto with frizzled red onions

If you’re one of those people who gets irritated by the specter of pumpkin spice — or, gasp, Halloween decor — on an 85-degree week in September; if you understand that there are what will feel like infinite months left to spend shivering and longing for stew, and there’s no reason to beckon them any sooner; if you find yourself gritting out “but there’s another week of summer!†at your screen when confronted with ads for wool coats and other things you simply refuse to acknowledge before you must, come sit down. You’re among friends. Well, a single friend. It’s feeling lonely here. But I insist upon embracing summer c...

This Dual-Voltage Hair Dryer Is Actually Lightweight and Compact Enough to Pack

Pooja NayyarI've had the Dyson Airwrap for years, and don't get me wrong, it's great—but between the long barrel, the multiple attachments, and the thick cord, it's usually way too bulky for me to pack. When I'm traveling, I want something easy, fuss-free, and overpacker-friendly. On a recent bachelorette trip to Rosemary Beach, Florida, I easily packed my Dyson Supersonic travel hair dryer in my suitcase. And because my friends and I were staying in an Airbnb, a hair dryer wasn't provided, so it was even more important that I bring one. If you, like me, are tired of filling up the majority of your suitcase by packing a bulky hair dryer or styling system, Dyson's new travel tool is worth checking out.I had two main concerns when the hair tool arrived. First, is it actua...

Researchers develop innovative model to study sense of smell

Unlike cells in the central nervous system, sensory neurons in the nasal cavity have a remarkable ability to regenerate throughout life despite near constant exposure to the outside environment. Viral infections such as COVID-19, exposure to toxins, or even aging itself can diminish their function or the ability of these cells to replicate, which can lead to a partial or complete loss of smell. The team of researchers devised a new, easy-to-create, three-dimensional olfactory tissue mouse model or organoid to help scientists better study how neurons are continually formed in the nose and why this process might decline in disease and aging. Their research, published recently in Cell Reports Methods, uses this mouse model to show how two types of stem cells in the nose, called horizontal bas...

Asmara Heritage Project: Documenting a Colonial Project that Became Eritrea’s National Symbol

Before the arrival of European colonists, Asmara existed as a small highland settlement. According to oral tradition, the city's name derives from "Arbate Asmera," meaning roughly "the four made them unite" in the Tigrinya language — a reference to four clans who agreed to live together peacefully after prolonged conflict. The earliest known written mention of the city is in a Latin itinerary from the late fourteenth century. Asmara grew in importance over the centuries as a stop on trade routes toward the Red Sea port of Massawa. Image gallerySee allShow lessAbout this author Cite: Mohieldin Gamal.

A routine check of NASA lunar data unexpectedly led to a major discovery.

Robert Wagner, a scientist who works with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), was examining a large map of the Moon when something unusual stood out on his computer screen. He noticed an unusually bright patch surrounded by a dark halo, a pattern suggesting that material on the lunar surface had recently been disturbed. "I just stopped, dropped everything, and started looking into what that spot was," said Wagner, an image-processing specialist from Intuitive Machines who works with data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) system. When Wagner compared older and newer images of the same region, he realized the feature was a newly formed impact crater. Scientists reported on September 16 in Science Advances that it is the largest newly formed crater ever identified in ...
