Water management has been a cornerstone of human civilization since the dawn of agricultural societies. The availability and control of water resources have not only dictated the survival of communities but have also driven the development of intricate engineering solutions across different ancient civilizations. From the grand aqueducts of Rome to the ingenious qanats of Persia, these ancient technologies reflect the diverse and innovative methods used to address water scarcity and distribution. Studying the minutiae of these water management systems reveals that our ancestors were much more innovative and capable than we’d think at first.

Scientists have used state of the art 3D imaging technology to piece together the life - and probable death - of a 2.2-meter-long crocodile mummified by the ancient Egyptians. The researchers from The University of Manchester, along with Loughborough and Birmingham City Universities, revealed a freshly eaten fish still attached to its hook in the beast’s stomach, which probably killed it. Using specialist software in combination with X-ray and CT scanning, the scientists were able to virtually extract the hook from the mummy, and then construct a replica first in plastic and then cast in its original material, bronze.

Christine McVie would have turned 81 on the 12th of July had she not died from a stroke in 2022. She received tribute from her friend and Fleetwood Mac frontman Stevie Nicks, who performed one of her hit songs with Harry Styles at the BST Hyde Park headline show. Stevie asked Harry to come onstage while singing “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” and “Landslide,” noting that she shares a beautiful bond with the former One Direction star. It was not their first time sharing a stage, as they did during 2019’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. Stevie Nicks remembers Christine McVie As she called Harry up, Stevie got vulnerable about the grief she faced due to McVie’s passing, noting that it was still difficult singing about her two years later. McVie also battled cancer, which was listed as the secondary cause of her death. The specific type of cancer was not revealed since professionals were unable to detect the origin of the ravaging cells.

Sean O’Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, gave a speech Monday at the Republican National Convention for the first time in history. The president of one of the largest labor unions in the country is speaking at the Republican National Convention about how Amazon and the Chamber of Commerce are ripping off workers while praising J.D. Vance and Josh HawleyThe realignment in action. pic.twitter.com/Xs2PqpwPzd— Greg Price (@greg_price11) July 16, 2024 O’Brien used the speech to rip into the Chamber of Commerce, stating, “We need to call the Chamber of Commerce, and the Business Round Tables, for what they are. They are unions for Big Business.” O’Brien declared, “It is sickening that Amazon has abandoned any national allegiance, Amazon’s sole focus is on lining its own pockets. Remember, elites have no party, elites have no nation. Their loyalty is to the balance sheet and to the stock price at the expense of the American worker.” During his speech, O’Brien also singled out two Republican Senators, J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) for praise for their support of labor unions and for their promotion of pro-worker policies in the GOP. O’Brien will also speak at the Democratic convention next month, and has yet to endorse a candidate for President.
