US plans return to supersonic flights; to reverse 53-year-old ban

Washington, Jul 1 (PTI): The US is taking steps to reverse an over five-decade ban on trans-continental supersonic flights as it unveiled a proposed rule that sets noise-based standards for operating such aircraft. The US Department of Transportation move on Tuesday came after NASA successfully tested the experimental X-59 aircraft that flew faster than the speed of sound without producing the loud sonic booms usually associated with such flights. Sonic booms can rattle windows and, at their most severe, risk damaging buildings. The proposed FAA rule intends to replace the 1973 ban on overland supersonic flight with a noise limit. The proposed rule allows aircraft to fly faster than Mach 1 (the speed of sound, 767 miles per hour) over land as long as the resulting noise stays below a set level. The FAA also plans to propose another rule later this year, establishing landing and takeoff noise standards for supersonic aircraft. The two rules are expected to be finalised by mid-2027. Currently, airline operators require special flight authorisation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly aircraft faster than Mach 1, only for research and testing purposes over isolated areas. “Advances in aerospace engineering, materials science, noise reduction, and new operational concepts will eliminate the old sonic boom,” Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) chief Bryan Bedford said in a statement. “This means we can ultimately repeal the ban from the 1970s on supersonic flight over US territory while minimising noise impacts to residents in communities along the route and near airports,” Bedford said. Earlier this month, NASA demonstrated its “quiet” supersonic flight when it tested the X-59 aircraft that reached a top speed of 713 miles per hour (Mach 1.1) at an altitude of 43,400 feet. The X-59 is designed to fly at supersonic speeds while creating only a quiet thump instead of a loud sonic boom, NASA said in a statement on June 5. “Restoring supersonic flight over land isn’t just about speed, it's about unleashing American innovation and ushering in a Golden Age of Travel,” said US Transportation Secretary Sean P Duffy. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are working at lightning speed to safely enable the next quantum leap in aviation technology and deliver an exciting new way to fly to the American flying public,” Duffy said. “For too long, outdated rules held back our engineers and manufacturers. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are clearing the runway for supersonic flight, strengthening our industrial base, creating high-skilled jobs, and ensuring the future of aviation is invented and built in America,” Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios said in a statement. American ingenuity broke the sound barrier once before, and today’s action ensures it will define the new Golden Age of Aviation.” Air France and British Airways introduced Concorde, which flew at twice the speed of sound (Mach 2) and crossed the Atlantic Ocean in about 3.5 hours. However, such speed was allowed only above the ocean and the flight and the plane had to operate at subsonic speed over land. The Concorde service was discontinued in 2003 due to high operating costs. Besides NASA, other US companies working on supersonic aircraft include Boom Supersonic and Spike Aerospace who also plan to offer future transatlantic flights in under four hours.

Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna Says US-India Ties at Lowest Point in 30 Years, Blames Trump

Washington: The US-India relationship is at its lowest point in the last 30 years due to US President Donald Trump’s "utterly destructive policies", Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna has said. Addressing the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum Leadership Summit in Washington, Khanna on Monday claimed that during his recent visit to China, India’s ambassador there had told him that a generation of trust was lost due to Trump’s policies. "Now, you know I'm not one to mince words. I sort of tell things as they are. The US-India relationship has been at its lowest point in the last 30 years," Khanna said. "Trump's policies of getting into a war with Iran have been utterly destructive. It has been utterly destructive to the prices of gas in India. Talk to (External Affairs Minister S) Jaishankar if you don't believe me," the California Democrat said. "I was in China, and the Indian Ambassador there told me that a generation of trust has been lost by President Trump. If we don't speak the truth about the damage this President has done...we are not living in reality," Khanna, a presumptive 2028 Presidential hopeful, said. He slammed Trump’s policies of threatening Iran and Cuba and conquering Greenland. "Now you have an America that has forgotten that moral vision, that has a foreign policy of might makes right, threatening not just Iran, threatening Cuba, threatening to conquer Greenland, and we were having dinner as if everything is normal," Khanna said. "Who cares about the partnerships of this and that when this President is literally destroying America's leadership in the entire world," he said. "The demagoguery about immigrants, the demagoguery of this President and talking about the lack of immigrants coming into the United States. How can we sit here and not condemn his policies on what he has done with student visas, with the demonisation of talent coming to the United States," Khanna said. The Democratic leader said Trump talks about the US leading in the field of artificial intelligence. "38 per cent of the top AI researchers are of Chinese origin. 72 per cent have foreign degrees. This is a President who doesn't understand that we need to be recruiting talent, not turning talent away," Khanna said. Khanna described Trump as a "lame duck" and asserted that the Democrats were going to win the upcoming mid-term elections and the 2028 presidential elections decisively.

Pope Leo XIV Urges Traditionalist Catholic Group To Halt Planned Bishop Consecrations

Edited by: Darko Janjevic World Catholic leader Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday appealed to a group of ultra-traditionalist Catholics not to go ahead with its planned consecration of bishops on Wednesday, an act that could lead to a full schism with the Vatican. The group, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), was founded in 1970 by Catholics who opposed the liberal reforms to the church introduced by the 1960s Second Vatican Council. What did the pope say about the planned consecration? "I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: Please turn back!” Leo wrote in a letter to the Rev. Davide Pagliarani, the superior of the Society of St. Pius X, calling the plan a schismatic act and a "sin of extreme gravity." In the letter, the pontiff repeated that the Vatican was prepared to enter into a dialogue and warned of negative impacts for those involved. "I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of the faithful, because the schismatic act you are about to undertake would deprive them of the licit, and in some cases, even valid reception of the sacraments,” he wrote. Under Catholic Church law, any consecration of bishops that is not authorized by the Vatican must result in the automatic excommunication of both the newly consecrated bishops and those who consecrated them. In the church, being excommunicated excludes an individual from the sacraments, rites and spiritual fellowship of fellow Catholics. A decades-long divide in the Catholic Church The Society of Saint Pius X already celebrated the ordination of five new priests on Monday near its seminary in Econe, Switzerland. However, the consecration of bishops without papal consent is seen as a much graver violation of church law. In 1988, SSPX founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre of France consecrated four bishops and was immediately excommunicated along with the new bishops, a measure lifted in 2009. SSPX boasts presence in more than 75 countries across six continents, claiming over 750 priests and nearly half a million faithful. However, the group still has no legal status in the Catholic Church. Lefebre himself died in 1991 aged 85. The society adheres to a strict interpretation of doctrinal and liturgical tradition, including the celebration of the Latin Mass. It also rejects the ecumenism — working for closer unity with other Christian traditions — imposed by the Second Vatican Council.

5 Types Of Body Pain Women In Their 30s Should Never Ignore: Symptoms, Causes And Prevention

Persistent body pain should never be disregarded, according to health professionals, even though a painful back after a long day or a stiff neck from a desk job may appear harmless. Recurrent aches are frequently attributed to stress, insufficient sleep or a busy lifestyle by many women in their 30s. However, these symptoms may occasionally indicate underlying medical issues that need to be treated, such as hormonal shifts or dietary inadequacies. Over 1.7 billion individuals worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal problems, which have a substantial negative influence on quality of life, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Early detection of persistent pain, according to doctors, can help avoid long-term problems. 5 Types Of Body Pain Women Experience 1- Shoulder and Neck Pain: Among the most common causes of neck and shoulder pain are prolonged computer use, regular smartphone use and bad posture. Additionally, stress can cause muscles to stiffen, which can lead to tension headaches and stiffness. 2- Pain in the lower back: One of the most frequent reasons women seek medical attention is lower back pain. Poor posture, extended sitting, weak core muscles, obesity and improper lifting of large objects are common causes, according to the Mayo Clinic. Back discomfort can also be brought on by diseases like endometriosis or kidney problems in certain women. 3- Pain and stiffness in the joints: Arthritis, vitamin deficiencies, or repetitive strain can all cause pain in the knees, wrists, fingers or ankles. Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune illnesses affecting the joints are more common in women than in men. 4- Regular migraines or headaches: Some of the most frequent causes of migraines are still hormonal changes, dehydration, stress and sleep deprivation. Women have migraines more frequently than men, according to the UK National Health Service (NHS), since hormonal fluctuations might affect headache patterns. 5- Severe menstrual cramps or pelvic pain: Persistent or severe pelvic pain should never be disregarded, even though minor monthly discomfort is usual. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and pelvic inflammatory disease are among the most common reasons and frequently necessitate medical evaluation. ALSO READ |Doctors Explain Why Malaria Is More Dangerous For Children And How To Prevent It What Causes Persistent Body Pain? Recurring discomfort rarely has a single cause, according to experts. Muscles and joints are continuously stressed by sedentary lifestyles, bad posture, repetitive motions, and extended screen time. Vitamin D, calcium, iron and vitamin B12 deficits in particular can weaken bones and muscles, making pain and exhaustion more likely. Pain sensitivity may also be impacted by hormonal changes that occur during menstruation, pregnancy, and the perimenopause. Proper diagnosis is crucial since chronic pain can sometimes indicate inflammatory problems, thyroid disease or autoimmune disorders. How Can Body Pain Be Prevented? To lessen back and neck discomfort, doctors advise utilising an ergonomic workplace and keeping proper posture throughout the day. Frequent exercise enhances muscle strength, flexibility and joint stability. Examples of this include walking, strength training, and stretching. Bone and muscular health is supported by a balanced diet high in protein, calcium, iron, vitamin D and vitamin B12, while recovery is aided by getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night and drinking enough water. Additionally, because persistent stress can lead to headaches and tense muscles, the Cleveland Clinic advises controlling stress through practices like yoga, meditation or mindfulness. ALSO READ |Is Your Snoring Dangerous? Sleep Apnea In Fathers Linked To Heart Risks Know When Persistent Pain Needs Medical Attention While occasional aches are common, chronic or recurrent pain should not be disregarded. If your discomfort persists for longer than two to four weeks, keeps coming back or interferes with your everyday activities, consult a physician. The UK National Health Service (NHS) states that if discomfort is accompanied by swelling, numbness, fever, unexplained weight loss, weakness, excessive menstrual flow or abnormalities in bowel or bladder function, immediate medical intervention is required. Conditions like arthritis, endometriosis, thyroid issues and dietary deficiencies can be detected early on and treated before they worsen.

World’s Boring Diet Promises Faster Weight Loss: All You Need To Know

A new eating plan has taken social media by storm, and many people are calling it the "world's most boring diet". Despite its nickname, the diet is attracting attention because of its simplicity and the weight-loss results many followers claim to have achieved. Unlike restrictive diets packed with complicated meal plans and endless food rules, this approach focuses on just a handful of everyday foods. Its biggest appeal is that it's easy to follow, making it more manageable for people who struggle to stay consistent with traditional diets. All About The 'Boring' Diet  The CPB Diet, populary called 'boring' diet, gets its name from its three main ingredients: Chicken, Potatoes and Broccoli. The idea is simple: Chicken (or tofu for vegetarians) provides protein. Potatoes supply healthy carbohydrates. Broccoli and carrots add fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Meals are prepared with only a small amount of olive oil. Water, black coffee, and unsweetened tea are the preferred beverages. Processed foods, sugary drinks, sweets, and junk food are avoided throughout the diet. ALSO READ | Want Dessert? Here’s The Healthiest Time To Eat Sweets During The Day Why Is It So Popular? One of the biggest reasons the CPB diet is gaining popularity is that it removes the stress of complicated meal planning and calorie tracking. Protein from chicken helps keep you satisfied, while fibre-rich vegetables add volume to meals without adding many calories. Potatoes, despite their reputation, can also be filling when prepared without excess fat. Together, these foods may help reduce hunger and make it easier to eat fewer calories naturally. For many people, the simplicity of eating the same basic meals also reduces unnecessary snacking and unhealthy food choices. What Results Do People Claim? Many people following the CPB diet say they have experienced: Noticeable weight loss Fewer food cravings Better focus and mental clarity More consistent energy levels ALSO READ | West Bengal Mid-Day Meal Debate: Can Paneer And Soybean Replace Eggs For Children’s Nutrition? How The 30-Day Plan Works To make the diet easier to maintain, many followers gradually expand their food choices over a month. Week 1: Stick to the basic CPB foods. Week 2: Introduce additional vegetables and lean protein sources. Week 3: Add fruits, nuts, and other nutritious whole foods. Week 4: Continue building a more balanced eating pattern while maintaining healthy habits. This gradual approach can make the diet feel less restrictive and easier to sustain. Things To Keep In Mind Although the CPB diet may help some people lose weight by simplifying food choices, it isn't suitable for everyone. Eating the same meals repeatedly can become monotonous and may increase the risk of missing out on important nutrients if followed for too long. Some people may also experience constipation, fatigue, or weakness, especially if calorie intake becomes too low. Before starting any restrictive eating plan, particularly if you have an underlying health condition or are aiming for significant weight loss, it's advisable to consult a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure the diet meets your nutritional needs.
