And we also sent a request to the press service of the Ukrainian politician himself, who answered our questions.The media report on Vadym Stolar's philanthropic activities and his allegedly dubious business projects, let's figure it out sequentially.As Vadim Stolar himself mentioned, during the year of the war, his Ukrainian Name Fund spent UAH 271 million (almost EUR 7 million) on aid to Ukrainian citizens, and the total assistance amounted to UAH 350 million (about EUR 9 million).A full-scale war has been going on in Ukraine for more than a year due to Russia's armed agg...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:30:04 GMT

Once an exclusive treat only for Southern Californians and visitors, In-N-Out Burger is now primed for a major expansion eastward.In January, the Baldwin Park-based fast food chain, which is celebrating its 75th year in business, announced it would open restaurants and a corporate office in Tennessee by 2026.“We get a lot of requests in different states to open, and I’m very happy to meet the customers here and make their dreams come true,” said Lynsi Snyder, the company’s owner and granddaughter of founders Harry and Esther Snyder, at a news conference with Tennessee’s governor.The Volunteer State will be the eighth where diners can enjoy In-N-Out’s extraordinarily simple menu of burgers, fries, soft drinks and milkshakes. But within Snyder’s remarks came something unexpected: that In-N-Out has even more states in its sights.The very first In-N-Out burger opened in 1948 at a tiny stand at Francisquito and Garvey avenues in Baldwin Park, a suburb of Los Angeles.

Are Aliens Contacting Australia? Weird Signals From Outer Space Detected

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:30:04 GMT

Greetings, fellow earthlings! Australian researchers detected signals from outer space — and it’s not the first time that the Earth received interstellar radio messages! However, don’t worry. It shouldn’t be a cause for alarm either.What were these signals from outer space?FRB (or Fast Radio Bursts) were detected by researchers via the FAST telescope. There are many natural causes of FRBs. However, one particular FRB, the FRB 20190520B is said to be quite peculiar. According to Dr. Shi Dai, an astronomer at Western Sydney University, “FRB 20190520B is one of a rare class of FRBs found to repeat,” Dr. Dai added, “First discovered by the FAST telescope, FRB 20190520B is not only active but more importantly can be detected over a wide radio frequency window, which enables us to use the most advanced radio instruments, such as Parkes and its ultra-wideband receiver, to carry out detailed studies.”The occurrence of FRBs shouldn’t be a huge cause for concern — unless astronomers can concl...

Here’s when you can see the moon in the Da Vinci glow

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:30:04 GMT

By Madeline Holcombe | CNNGaze up into the sky next week, and you might catch a glimpse of the Da Vinci glow.It’s a phenomenon that can happen around sunset when a crescent moon is on the horizon, but the outline of a full moon is visible. The Da Vinci glow is a common occurrence, and easy to see, said Christine Shupla, the science engagement manager at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. But its appearance was once an inscrutable mystery.What caused that ghostly full moon effect, sometimes called “the old moon in the new moon’s arms,” was an ancient question illuminated by Leonardo da Vinci, according to NASA. And the answer is light coming from Earth.Distinct from sunshine, Earthshine refers to the light emitted from Earth even after the sun sets, NASA said. This light source coming from Earth is about 50 times brighter than the light from a full moon.When Leonardo theorized about this, Copernicus hadn’t even published the theory that Earth revolved around the sun yet.
