Spoiler alert! This story contains details from Sunday's episode of Big Brother. When Big Brother's Angela Murray first saw her AI avatar, she couldn't quite impress upon the other houseguests that it wasn't her speaking, and that she definitely wasn't the one issuing the eviction notice. She was only half right — the nominee was Quinn Martin, who won the power to overturn the Head of Household nomination earlier in the season — but it was unmistakably Murray's voice and image. Before the BB season began, all the houseguests were asked to stand in front of a quick camera and…

New Delhi: As the world grapples with the urgent challenge of transitioning to renewable energy, solar paraboloid technology has emerged as a potentially transformative solution. This advanced concentrated solar power (CSP) not only increases the efficiency of solar energy capture but also addresses limitations that have long plagued traditional photovoltaic (PV) systems. As governments and industries increasingly focus on reducing carbon emissions and achieving net-zero targets, solar paraboloid could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of global energy markets.Understanding Solar Parabolic TechnologySolar paraboloids work using a Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) system. These systems consist of a long parabolic…
Europe spends more on diabetes per year than it does on the war in Ukraine. The diabetes tsunami is a public health crisis that threatens to overwhelm health systems and developing economies. The amount Europe spent on diabetes last year was more than the total EU funds donated to Ukraine since the Russian invasion. The incidence of diabetes, especially preventable type 2 diabetes, is increasing at an alarming rate due to factors such as obesity and an ageing population. The annual cost of diabetes in Europe is limiting the continent's economic growth. In 2021, diabetes-related spending in Europe totaled approximately…
