Bare electrical wire, leaning poles on Maui were possible causes of deadly fires
In the first moments of the Maui fires, when high winds brought down power poles, slapping electrified wires to the dry grass below, there was a reason the flames erupted all at once in long, neat rows — those wires were bare, uninsulated metal that could spark on contact. Videos and images…#maui #hawaiianelectricco #hawaii #google #michaelahern #massachusetts #hawaiianelectric #harden #jenniferpotter #lahaina

Anti-strike law will cause headaches for employers and unions, says UNISON
Commenting on the launch of a consultation today (Friday) on the implementation of the government’s minimum service levels legislation during strikes in some public services, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said: “This legislation has always been pointless and totally unnecessary. “It’s a desperate attempt to prop up a failing government by demonising unions, rather than a serious effort to improve industrial relations and protect the public. “UNISON said all along it would be difficult to enforce and the draft guidance proves that. It’s full of holes and will cause headaches for employers, as well as...

Share your solidarity with Wirral clinical support workers on strike
Healthcare support workers in UNISON are fighting for the respect, recognition and reward they deserve – and they’re prepared to take strike action to get what they’re rightfully owed. Over 400 clinical support workers at Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (WUTH) will take 48 hours of strike action from 7am on Thursday 31 August. They’re joining together to get their employer to pay them appropriately for the Band 3 clinical work they routinely do, and to put right the years they’ve been underpaid by awarding backpay to 1 April 2018 as an absolute minimum.  This is a key moment ...

White House requests extension of agreement with China on joint research
President Joe Biden’s administration has given itself 6 months to reach a deal with China to preserve a 44-year-old agreement governing scientific cooperation between the two superpowers. But the rising tensions between the two countries and calls by congressional Republicans for the United States to end cooperation with China will require the White House to walk a political tightrope in renewing what has traditionally been a garden-variety diplomatic pact. U.S. academics welcome the administration’s decision, first reported by NBC News , not to abandon an agreement that has been renewed in 5-year increments...

How India Became the First Country to Reach the Moon ’s South Pole
And then there was one.  Since earlier this month, there had been something of a footrace in space, with India and Russia vying to be the first country to land a spacecraft in the moon’s south polar region. On July 14, the Indian spacecraft, Chandrayaan-3, blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in southeastern India, carrying a 1,726 kg (3,805 lb) lander, which itself contains a little 26 kg (57 lb) rover. Then on Aug. 9, Russia followed in hot pursuit, launching its 1,750 kg (3,858 lb) Luna 25 lander from the newly built Vostochny Cosmodrome in the country’s far eastern Amur Oblast region. ...
