Abortion supporters Alie Utley and Joe Moyer (R) react to the failed constitutional amendment proposal at the Kansas Constitutional Freedom Primary Election Watch Party in Overland Park, Kansas on August 2, 2022.an. (Photo by Dave Kaup/AFP via Getty TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kansas voters on Tuesday sent a resounding message about their desire to protect abortion rights, rejecting a ballot measure in a conservative state with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban the procedure outright.It was the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S.

Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion, providing an unexpected result with potential implications for the coming midterm elections.While it was just one state, the heavy turnout for an August primary that typically favors Republicans was a major victory for abortion rights advocates.

With most of the vote counted, they were prevailing by roughly 20 percentage points, with the turnout approaching what's typical for a fall election for governor.The vote also provided a dash of hope for Democrats nationwide grasping for a game-changer during an election year otherwise filled with dark omens for their prospects in November."This vote makes clear what we know: the majority of Americans agree that women should have access to abortion and should have the right to make their own health care decisions," President Joe Biden said in a statement.Jae Gray, a field organizer with Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, posted signs at the watch party for election results Tuesday, Aug.

Philadelphia police tightening security ahead of Biden visit, Made in America festival

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia is shoring up its security measures ahead of a visit from President Joe Biden who will deliver a prime time speech outside Independence Hall on Thursday.

Billed as a major address just over two months before the midterm elections, Biden, the White House said, will discuss how the nation's standing in the world and its democracy are at stake."He will talk about the progress we have made as a nation to protect our democracy, but how our rights and freedoms are still under attack," the White House said. "And he will make clear who is fighting for those rights, fighting for those freedoms, and fighting for our democracy."MORE LOCAL HEADLINESBiden's visit to Philadelphia will come two days after police said a teenager fired shots into the air on Market Street in Old City, causing tourists and bystanders to scramble in panic. The shooting, which happened just two blocks away from where Biden will make his address, highlights the city's worsening problem with gun violence.

Shape of coronavirus can tell how quickly virus will spread, study claims

coronavirus particles are breathed, they move around within the passages in the nose and lungs. But, the scientists modelled a specific form of movement known as rotational diffusivity, which controls the pace at which particles rotate as they move through the fluid (in the case of the coronavirus, droplets of saliva). Smoother and more hydrodynamic particles experience less drag resistance from the fluid and rotate more quickly.

Satellite images reveal nearly 100-km-wide inland lake formed during deadly flooding in Pakistan

Pakistan has left death and destruction in a country that is already going through one of its worst economic crises to date. In satellite images showing the before and aftermath of flooding in Pakistan, the landscape looks completely transformed. Operational Land Imagers aboard NASA’s Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites took images of Pakistan on August 4 and August 28. The imaging concentrates on the areas which received some of the heaviest flooding damage, along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory. What would normally be relatively dry land bordering the river has now turned into a nearly 100-kilometer-wide lake, according to satellite images. Image shows satellite images of the area along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh on August 4 and the aftermath of flooding in the same area on August 28. (Landsat 8 — OLI and Landsat 9 — OLI-2 via NASA)The provinces of Balochistan and Sindh have received five to six times their 30-year average rainfall so far this year, according to NASA.
