Serious question for aviation folks: The Reuters F-15 wreckage image shows a few exposed, propeller-like blades. But F-15s use F100/F110 turbofans - enclosed, high blade-count, with containment. Would you expect that after a crash? www.reuters.com/world/middle... 1/2 #aviation #militaryaviation

Hypatia of Alexandria (d. March 415) was a mathematician, astronomer & philosopher. First woman known to lead a major school of thought. She taught advanced math & #science & defied gender/religious barriers. There have been #WomenInSTEM for millennia.🔭📐 #WomensHistoryMonth #astronomy
Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370–415 CE), brilliant Greek mathematician, astronomer, and Neoplatonist philosopher—the first woman known to head a major school of learning; she taught advanced mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy, advised civic leaders, and became a symbol of reason and intellectual freedom despite the era's gender and religious barriers.

The black-and-white engraved portrait shows her in profile, facing left, with a serene, contemplative expression; she has an elegant neck, large eyes, and elaborate braided hair styled in a high bun wrapped with a headband, rendered in fine line work with soft shading on a plain background.

"A cartoon, titled "Quiet Piggy" by Steve Nease, depicts a Canadian beaver character applying duct tape over the mouth of a man identified as U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra. The beaver is holding a roll of tape and saying "Quiet Piggy," while the ambassador is holding a paper labeled "Anti-Canada Rhetoric". The cartoon is a political commentary on U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, and his undiplomatic comments regarding Canada."

Two leading Canadian economists say a guaranteed income floor that cuts poverty in half could be funded at half the cost of previous estimates. This would make basic income considerably cheaper than the cost of poverty itself, saving lives and money.

Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The railway leading directly to Auschwitz II-Birkenau was featured in the plans for the camp’s expansion at the end of 1941. It was constructed in the spring of 1944, shortly before the deportation of the Hungarian Jews in May 1944. (Photo: instagram.com/_madalina_popa_)
A photograph taken from ground level along a railway track leading directly to the iconic main gatehouse of the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. The red-brick building with a watchtower and archway dominates the horizon under a clear blue sky. Visitors can be seen walking near the tracks on the left, while the right side shows a grassy area. The image's low perspective emphasizes the path of the railway, which once transported countless victims during the war.
