When the EU-UK Summit takes place in London today, the future of veterinarians is highlighting important but often overlooked issues. In the broader political and trade debate, two major animal health organizations (National Animal Health Office (Noah) and Animal Syndrome) are asking leaders to obtain a dedicated agreement to ensure ongoing cooperation on veterinary medicines between the UK and the EU. Noah’s CEO Dawn Howard explained the proposal: “Veteric medicines should not be sidelined as technical details. They are important for animal health, food safety and economic growth. The UK-EU veterinary agreement is achievable and urgently necessary. “Using AnimalHealtheurope we…
May 19, 2025Ravie LakshmananThreat Intelligence / Cybersecurity Cybersecurity leaders aren’t just dealing with attacks—they’re also protecting trust, keeping systems running, and maintaining their organization’s reputation. This week’s developments highlight a bigger issue: as we rely more on digital tools, hidden weaknesses can quietly grow. Just fixing problems isn’t enough anymore—resilience needs to be built into everything from the ground up. That means better systems, stronger teams, and clearer visibility across the entire organization. What’s showing up now isn’t just risk—it’s a clear signal that acting fast and making smart decisions matters more than being perfect. Here’s what surfaced—and what security…
Deel has lobbed a new volley in an ongoing legal battle with rival HR Tech startup Rip Ring. Deal filed a motion containing a series of letters and asked the Irish court to ripple the information. In one letter, Deal wants an unedited version of the witness affidavit, including the famous one by former wavy employee Keith O’Brien. According to an affidavit released by Rippling, O’Brien admitted to being a Deal spy in an Irish courthouse, with a story full of twists in a plot read like a film. Ripling filed a lawsuit against Deal in March, claiming misappropriation of…
Petawatt lasers, because of their extremely high intensity, bring extreme astrophysical phenomena within reach of laboratory experiments, as demonstrated by recent computational research. Recent advances in laser technology have brought us to the threshold of exploring physical regimes once considered exclusive to the most extreme astrophysical environments. With the commissioning of several high-power, high-intensity laser facilities around the world, capable of delivering peak powers in the multi-petawatt range, a new generation of laboratory experiments is now within reach – experiments that probe the frontier of light-matter interactions, relativistic plasmas, and even the conversion of light into matter and antimatter. This…
China needs to generate more than half of its wind and solar clean power by 2035, according to a new study led by the University of California, San Diego. This is because countries around the world are expected to submit new rounds of nationally determined contributions, a five-year climate plan required under the Paris Agreement. The study provides timely recommendations to meet the country’s future climate commitments. China’s role in accelerating global decarbonization In particular, China’s updated 2035 NDC is considered crucial to global efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C. The authors of this paper highlight the current…
Lionel Messi’s Intermiami had one of the worst performances of the season, losing to his Florida rival at home.Lionel Messi’s frustration grew as Intermiami continued his miserable run after losing to Orlando City in Major League Soccer (MLS) 3-0 at home. Sunday’s loss of the Florida Derby led Miami to win one from their final seven games in all competitions. They slid to sixth in the Eastern Conference and Orlando jumped over them. Messi only had two shots on the target and frayed the free kick as his form was down in his team’s form. “Now we really check if…
Uber is entering India’s growing B2B logistics market by breaking the control of e-commerce duo Amazon and Walmart-backed Flipkart, and expanding its partnership with government-backed nonprofit organizations aimed at expanding digital commerce in South Asian countries. On Monday, the riding giant announced that it will soon launch its B2B logistics service through Digital Commerce (ONDC) Open Network (ONDC) to access business on the network through Uber’s 1.4 million driver network without disclosing a specific timeline. The service initially allows food delivery for businesses operating on open networks, but aims to expand to e-commerce, groceries, pharmacies and even healthcare logistics. With…
The Sustcert4biobased project is dedicated to promoting sustainability certification for industrial bio-based systems to ensure a sustainable transition to a circular bio-based economy. A successful transition from linear fossil-based systems to circulating bio-based systems must ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability. To this end, a Sustainability Certification Scheme and Label (CSL) has been developed to enable traceability and transparency of the impact of sustainability along the value chain and trade for responsible production and consumption within the EU and worldwide. It is essential that there is a way to assess the performance of these tools. This is where sustcert4biobased appears!…
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) relies on accurate compression and heating of deuterium-tritium (DT) targets through concentric irradiation with a laser beam at megajoule energy levels. The basic ICF scheme has been known since the early 1970s. When the National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved break-even in December 2022, 50 years of scientific and technological advances peaked, generating more energy from fusion than laser energy invested in the process. This milestone unveiled the potential of ICF as a reliable and safe pathway to generate carbon-free energy. Since then, numerous private initiatives increasingly supported by institutions and investors have fostered or accelerated development…
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will begin his state’s visit to the United States on Monday, explaining his government is an attempt to “reset” relations between the two countries. The visit comes days after the US welcomed a group of 59 South African “refugees” who claim that President Donald Trump is being persecuted in South Africa for their race and are facing “genocide.” They are allowed to fly to the US on a special relocation plan and settle there. The Ramaphosa government has denied these allegations, saying that white people who own more than 70% of the land, despite making…
