UNITED STATES—The Department of Justice has indicted former President Donald Trump for failure to return his shopping cart to the front of the store. The incident took place at a local Costco in 1987. President Trump checked out his items and took the shopping cart to load the packages into his car. But instead of returning the cart to the front of the store‚ he left the cart in the parking spot next to his and drove off. “President Trump’s failure to return his cart to the front of the store is a crime against humanity‚” a spokesman for the department said. “This is one of the most serious crimes this department has dealt with in a very long time.” If convicted‚ President Trump could face either five life sentences in prison or death by guillotine.

Dolly Parton has never shied away from the spotlight or from proudly showing off who she is‚ in mind‚ body‚ and soul. Her most recent display of this confidence has caused quite a stir online after Parton showed a picture of herself posing in a revealing outfit with patterns reminiscent of a zebra. At 78‚ Parton is as busy as ever‚ having released her very first rock album‚ aptly called Rockstar‚ on November 17‚ a move she felt compelled to make after she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Just last month‚ the “Jolene” singer celebrated her birthday with new songs that go with the Rockstar album and songs that listeners have never heard before.

Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson welcomed their first baby together at the end of 2022‚ a boy they named Sidney. The road has since proved a bumpy one‚ not just because of health scares but also because of a struggle going on behind the scenes surrounding her son’s name‚ an issue that Kelly has since addressed in a big way. Kelly and Slipknot band member Wilson began dating back in February 2022. She went on to announce her pregnancy in May of that year. Her mother‚ Sharon Osbourne‚ shared with social media that Kelly is keeping a degree of separation between Sidney and the public eye‚ but Kelly has gone on to be vocal in her objections to keeping her last name out of Sidney’s full name – and what a rift it caused between the couple. Kelly Osbourne greatly objected to keeping her last name out of Sidney’s surname   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by SID / Dj Starscream/Slipknot (@sidthe3rd) Following Sidney’s birth‚ a debate ensued concerning Kelly’s son’s name. Initially‚ Wilson put his foot firmly down and wanted his surname only. The debate quickly turned heated.

I wanted our son to have both of our last names‚ and he wouldn’t let me‚ and we had a huge fight.” She added‚ “I feel that I was forced into doing something I didn’t want to do. And I can never ever forgive him for that‚ but we can move on.” Kelly Osbourne is making changes regarding her son’s name Kelly and Wilson had a brutal‚ ongoing argument concerning naming Sidney / Instagram Kelly and Wilson continued to have arguments surrounding the topic and even consulted a therapist. Gradually‚ progress was made. “So right now‚ my son doesn’t have a double-barreled last name‚” Kelly went on‚ “but after lots of eye-opening conversations and some couples therapy‚ he has seen the light‚ and we are going to legally change our son’s name to have both of our last names.” Kelly Osbourne is changing her son’s name to have her surname included / Instagram With peace restored‚ Kelly is back to enjoying raising Sidney‚ who she calls “the best thing that ever happened to me.” She admits that there is an element of fear in motherhood‚ as she worries about making mistakes‚ which themselves are learning opportunities‚ “It’s just unfortunate that you have to do it with a baby.” Online‚ fans feel it was unfortunate she had to seemingly ask permission from Wilson. “The fact that she said‚ ‘let me‚’ irritates me‚” one fan noted‚ “Kelly had a larger part in bringing that child into the world‚ so her last name deserves to be part of that partnership.” Another applauded her candor and willingness to go to couple’s therapy‚ a move most would not have made.

Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg of Manhattan‚ New York‚ has petitioned to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump. Trump was indicted by Bragg on April 4‚ 2023‚ for 34 felony counts…

To quote NASA associate administrator Jim Reuter‚ sending crewed missions to Mars by 2040 is an “audacious goal.” The challenges include the distance involved‚ which can take up to six months to traverse using conventional propulsion methods. Then there’s the hazard posed by radiation‚ which includes increased exposure to solar particles‚ flares‚ and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). And then there’s the time the crews will spend in microgravity during transits‚ which can take a serious toll on human health‚ physiology‚ and psychology. But what about the challenges of living and working on Mars for several months at a time? While elevated radiation and lower gravity are a concern‚ so is Martian regolith. Like lunar regolith‚ dust on Mars will adhere to astronauts’ spacesuits and inflict wear on their equipment. However‚ it also contains harmful particles that must be removed to prevent contaminating habitats. In a recent study‚ a team of aerospace engineers tested a new electrostatic system for removing Martian regolith from spacesuits that could potentially remove harmful dust with up to 98% efficiency. The new system was designed by Benjamin M. Griggs and Lucinda Berthoud‚ a Master’s engineering student and Professor of Space Systems Engineering (respectively) with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol‚ UK. The paper that describes the system and the verification process recently appeared in the journal Acta Astronautica. As they explain‚ the Electrostatic Removal System (ERS) they propose utilizes the phenomenon of dielectrophoresis (DEP) to remove Martian dust from spacesuit fabrics.

But on Mars‚ there’s also the contribution made by dust devils and storms‚ which have been known to generate electrostatic discharges (aka. lightning). During the Apollo missions‚ astronauts reported how the lunar regolith would adhere to their suits and get tracked back into their Lunar Modules. Once inside‚ it would similarly stick to everything and get into their eyes and lungs‚ causing irritation and respiratory problems. Given their plans to return astronauts to the Moon through the Artemis Program‚ NASA is investigating several methods to prevent regolith from getting into habitation modules – like coating technology for spacesuits and electron beams for cleaning them. While Martian dust is expected to inflict similar wear on spacesuits‚ the situation is made worse because it may contain toxic particles. As Griggs explained to Universe Today via email: “Beyond having an abrasive effect on spacesuits themselves‚ Martian regolith is also expected to present health issues to astronauts. It is known to contain a range of harmful particles which may be carcinogenic or cause respiratory issues‚ and data from the Pathfinder mission showed the presence of toxic particles such as chromium. Martian regolith will therefore require removal from spacesuits prior to entry into habitation zones on Mars to prevent contact between astronauts and regolith particles.” The principle behind the device‚ dielectrophoresis (DEP)‚ refers to the movement of neutral particles when subjected to a nonuniform electric field. Their proposed Electrostatic Removal System (ERS) comprises two components: a High Voltage Waveform Generator (HVWG) used to produce square waves of varying frequencies and amplitudes up to 1000 volts and an Electrostatic Removal Device (ERD) consisting of an array of parallel copper electrodes. When the square waves are applied across the electrodes in the ERD‚ a large and varying electric field is generated. As Griggs summarized: “Therefore‚ when dust particles are incident on the surface of the ERD‚ the dust particles are displaced through a combination of electrostatic and dielectrophoretic forces (due to the large electric field)‚ which acts on charged and uncharged particles respectively within the dust. This acts to displace dust particles in a direction perpendicular to the electrodes‚ resulting in the clearing of the ERD surface.” Microspheroids containing mostly aluminum and chlorine overgrow the mineral surface of synthetic Mars regolith. Credit: Tetyana Milojevic To evaluate the performance of their proposed system‚ Griggs and Prof. Berthoud developed an experiment to investigate several key variables. This included the frequency and amplitude of square waves‚ the spacing between the electrodes‚ the incline of the surface of the ERD‚ the distance between the electrodes and the dust layer‚ and the material of the surface from which dust is removed. The first step was to produce analytical models‚ which was an extremely complex task for this system‚ and previous numerical models were not particularly useful. “For this work‚ a simpler model was therefore derived using Couloumb’s law and the law of dielectrophoresis for a preliminary prediction of the effect of parameters including the square wave amplitude‚ electrode spacing‚ and dust-electrode separation (the actual distance between the electrodes and the dust particles they are acting to remove) on system performance‚” said Griggs. The next step was to prepare an experiment that would quantify the optimum performance and behavior of the proposed system and measure its effects. As Griggs described: “Two metrics were developed for quantifying and comparing the system performance during testing: clearing performance (% of the surface that was clear did not contain dust particles)‚ and clearing rate (a normalised rate of clearing based on the time taken to go from 5% to 60% of final clearing performance).  A wide range of parameters were experimentally explored‚ including the frequency and amplitude of square wave applied across the electrodes. The system was then applied to removing dust from the outer layer of spacesuits by integrating a layer of Ortho-fabric (the outer layer of spacesuits) between the system and a layer of dust particles.” From their tests‚ they found that the system achieved an optimum clearing performance of 98% when integrated directly below a layer of dust particles. However‚ this dropped off significantly when the outer layer was introduced due to the increased distance between the system and dust particles. As a result‚ they conclude that this system would likely need to be integrated directly into the outer layer of spacesuits to increase performance‚ possibly woven into the fabric itself. The system offers a non-abrasive method for dust removal‚ which is essential to future Mars missions.

In addition‚ the potential benefits reach beyond astronaut health and removing dust from spacesuits: “This concept has already been explored with success‚ though by its very nature it compromises the integrity of the outer layer of spacesuit. The technology therefore requires refinement before application on future Mars missions.  The technology provides a suitable alternative to the mechanical methods of dust removal used on the short-length Apollo missions (brushing and vacuuming)‚ which are unsuitable for longer Martian missions due to their abrasive effect on the spacesuits. It is therefore also a very promising technology for dust removal in other applications such as dust removal from solar panels or optical devices‚ which will be essential in future Mars missions.” Further Reading: Acta Astronautica The post Electrodes in Spacesuits Could Protect Astronauts from Harmful Dust on Mars appeared first on Universe Today.
