The World Health Organization (WHO) Chief has said he swears that the Ebola outbreak “can be stopped.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, proclaiming that the spread of this disease can be stopped, so long as warring faction lay down their weapons and commit to a ceasefire. Ghebreyesus added that no conflict is worth condemning people to death over a preventable disease, accoridng to a report by The Guardian. That means humanitarian efforts should be a first step toward containment.  He solidified his stance when writing on X on Wednesday, saying, “Stopping this Ebola transmission depends entirely on humanitarian access,” said Ghebreyesus, the WHO chief. “We cannot build community trust or isolate the sick while bombs are falling,” Tedros insisted. “We urge all warring parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire to contain this outbreak. To allow us safe and sustained access for medical teams. We plea to prioritize human survival above everything else.” “Eastern DRC now faces a catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response,” Tedros said as quoted by Al Jazeera.  The WHO has recorded at least 10 confirmed Ebola deaths and 220 suspected…

The U.S. Navy is planning to bring the nuclear power of its largest aircraft carrier from ship to shore at some point this summer, acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao revealed during a May 14 U.S. House Armed Services Committee hearing. Cao stated that Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia will be part of a pilot program exploring the concept of an installation “powered from an aircraft carrier.”“We’re going to export the energy from the aircraft carrier to the base,” he said. The American Nuclear Society first reported the Navy’s initiative.In a statement confirming the plan, a Navy spokesperson told Military Times that the service “is executing a multi-pronged strategy to ensure the delivery of firm, baseload power to our installations for energy resilience and mission assurance.”“One line of effort in the strategy is to deliver power from a Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to a compatible shore installation, to demonstrate the capability to meet emergent, mission critical needs,” the spokesperson added. “An initial test of this capability is being planned for later this year at Naval Station Norfolk.”While neither Cao nor the Navy confirmed the hulking vessel tapped for the assignment, the guinea pig in question is likely the USS Gerald R.…

That giant gust of wind you feel blowing from the Lone Star State isn’t a tornado, though we are definitely in season for that.No, it’s just a bunch of hot air from a couple of college football coaches calling each other out while knowing they won’t face any repercussions on the field.For those not in the know, Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian made a not-so-subtle jab at Texas Tech’s strength of schedule, while Red Raiders head coach Joey Maguire clapped back, saying they would love to play the Longhorns and are even willing to cancel their out-of-conference game against Abilene Christian to accommodate. Let’s be clear before we go any further: this will never happen.Texas and Texas Tech would never cancel games with non-conference opponents to play each other, nor would their conferences and the NCAA let them.But if they could, I’m here to tell you the Longhorns should reject the Red Raiders’ and Maguire’s terms outright.Texas has nothing to gain from adding Tech to their schedule and everything to lose.WHICH TEAMS HAVE THE TOUGHEST STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE HEADING INTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON?In an era where teams are canceling tough non-conference games left and right to create an easier path…

The U.S. Marine Corps has inked a $5.1 million contract with the virtual reality company XR Training (XRT) to develop a crew gunnery training prototype for the new amphibious combat vehicle that will simulate an all-out fight with an unpredictable adversary.The other transactional agreement, or OTA, contract award — used to fast-track prototyping and development — is the fourth such award for the company, which has assumed a significant role in the overhaul of Marine Corps amphibious vehicle training.While ACV is a more complex vehicle than its predecessor and fielded in multiple variants, the more rigorous approach to training is also driven by a deadly 2020 mishap involving aging assault amphibious vehicles. Investigations found that training shortfalls stretching back months had contributed to the deaths of nine troops off the California coast.In 2024, XRT completed the deployment of 81 driver training simulators to the Corps within an 18-month span. Last year, it announced it had landed a contract to develop the prototype for a “next-generation maintenance training suite” for ACB upkeep and repair. This latest contract zeroes in on gunnery operations for the ACV, allowing the gunner, the vehicle commander and the driver to train together the way they would…

For most objective fans, it’s become clear that the Big Ten has surpassed the SEC as the dominant conference in college football. Just don’t tell SEC commissioner Greg Sankey or the conference’s coaches about the importance of on-field results. After years of them referencing those exact results.Sankey, speaking at the SEC’s spring meetings on Wednesday, once again struck, and once again struck a defiant, and inaccurate, tone. College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark met with the conference and its coaches this week, explaining the “metrics” that go into the committee’s decision making and selection process. According to Sankey, it confirmed that the SEC is the “strongest league.””We saw metrics out of the College Football Playoff presentation where there’s no doubt we’re the strongest league,” Sankey said. “But I think from a big picture, the breadth, the depth of this league — this league stands alone.” When discussing recent results, he repeated the same mantra. “If you look at the entirety of our league, we are by far the most competitive, the strongest football league by far,” he told reporters. “But you’re going to lose games when it’s close and competitive like that.”VANDERBILT’S DIEGO PAVIA CLAIMS BIG TEN IS INFERIOR…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — U.S. President Donald Trump’s apparent move to delay a massive weapons sale to Taiwan after a summit with his Chinese counterpart will drive the island’s military further toward self-sufficiency, with sights on asymmetric warfare rather than technological might if ever in a war with China, analysts say.Days after Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the U.S. acting Navy secretary said a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan had been delayed. The president is due to announce an update the package’s status, Taipei-based Central News Agency reported on May 23.Although it’s unclear whether Trump will stick to his pledge, scrap it or wait to see whether China comes through on large purchases of American imports as a reciprocal gesture, experts in Taiwan said the delayed sale represents an interim pullback in U.S. commitment to Taiwan’s defense.“U.S. arms sales to Taiwan have never been merely about weapons acquisition,” said Huang Chung-ting, associate research fellow with the Institute for National Defense and Security Research in Taipei.“They are also a visible form of political credibility, commitment credibility and allied trust,” he said. “Beijing may become more likely to underestimate U.S. resolve to intervene, while the deterrent significance…

In today’s article, the author reviews the Fiocchi CovertX 9mm ammunition. Range testing was conducted with ammo provided to the author by Fiocchi. Those of us who live the EDC (Everyday Carry) lifestyle are always searching for the latest and greatest gear and ammunition. We want rounds that are reliable, accurate, and — most importantly — effective if we ever have to defend ourselves or our loved ones. This pursuit might seem like it never truly ends. Fiocchi CovertX 124-gr. JHP, paired with the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro for testing. With a 3.7″ barrel, the Hellcat Pro was a solid test for Fiocchi’s short-barrel performance claims. As a result, many of us constantly test new products. We shoot at the range, measure groups, record chronograph data, and run drills. Along the way, we inevitably encounter some disappointments — ammo that overpromises velocity, underperforms in accuracy, or suffers from reliability issues. But we don’t stop searching. The stakes are simply too high. Reconsidered Role? For years, I’ve been using Fiocchi ammunition for range training. Their 115-gr. FMJ loads have always treated me well. It’s accurate, consistent and affordable, making it a staple in my practice sessions. However, I’ll admit something: I…
