The High Resolution Imaging Experiment, or HIRISE, is a powerful camera that takes pictures of features as small as a desk from orbit. The image here shows a region less than 1 km (less than a mile) in diameter, and MRO was about 197 km above the surface when the image was taken. HiRISE scientists say barchan dunes are common on both Earth and Mars. Typically, these dunes have a very distinctive shape and are important because they can tell scientists about the environment in which they formed and the direction of winds in a particular location....

Ouvrages QC – Cadres des déterminants de la santé : caractéristiques et spécificités en contexte autochtone Ce document publié par l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec décrit les principales caractéristiques des cadres des déterminants de la santé autochtones, élaborés par ou pour ces populations.

Hanke will keine Dokumente im Finanzausschuss Allerdings muss die Stadt Wien als Bedingung dafür bis zum 15. September alle Unterlagen zu den künftigen Transaktionen von Wien Energie an den Bund übergeben. Diese Unterlagen will die ÖVP auch im Finanzausschuss der Stadt haben, der wenige Tage vorher tagt. Diesen Antrag lehnt Hanke jedoch ab. „Ich glaube auch, dass sich nicht alles auf den politischen Alltag übertragen lässt. Seriöses Agieren zwischen Politik und Wirtschaft ist angesagt und sollte in dieser Form nicht vernachlässigt werden“, sagte der Stadtrat am Rande einer Medienveranstaltung zur Umgestaltung des Umspannwerks Wien-Auhof....

Manchin offered his support for the bill in July after winning significant concessions, and his vote allowed Democrats to pass a major achievement for President Biden....

Football is back, along with our attempt to understand what will happen during the various football matches. It’s the weekly pick element, with MDS and yours truly battling it out, picking each game. I think I won last year. I can’t remember, actually. I guess someone will correct me if I’m wrong. Whether I recognize the correction is another matter. Hopefully my picks for the first week will need some tweaking....

At a hearing on Wednesday, Meadows’ attorney, George Terwilliger III, argued that executive privilege extended to former aides to the president and that the subpoenas issued by the select committee were overly broad and violated Meadows’ Fourth Amendment rights. The House referred Meadows last year to the Justice Department for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas. But the DOJ declined to indict him and Dan Scavino, former deputy chief of staff to then-President Donald Trump, on criminal contempt of Congress charges....

SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to SARS-CoV and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), both of which led to epidemic outbreaks in 2002-2003 and 2013-2014, respectively, and are associated with significant morbidity. Human infections have also been reported from other coronaviruses, such as OC43, 229E, NL63, and HKU1, most of which manifest as the common seasonal cold.
