FinCEN has issued FAQs to clarify suspicious activity report (SAR) requirements, aiming to improve the quality of information provided to law enforcement and reduce unnecessary resource expenditure by financial institutions, with a focus on prioritizing significant threats.
A crack in Earth's current ring caused by a strong geomagnetic storm led to the appearance of glowing lights in the sky, which were mistakenly assumed to be auroras. These lights were actually Stable Auroral Red arcs (SARs) and Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancements (STEVEs). SARs are red glows caused by the upper atmosphere getting heated from below during geomagnetic storms, while STEVEs are narrow curtains of purple light. The connection between SARs and STEVEs is still poorly understood. Skies may continue to display these phenomena due to lingering effects of a recent coronal mass ejection.
A solar storm caused a G4 Geomagnetic storm that resulted in radio communication shutdowns, GPS malfunctions, auroras, and a rare phenomenon known as SARs, which appeared as a hazy red streak of light across the sky in parts of Scandinavia. SARs are not actually auroras but are caused by the leakage of thermal energy into the upper atmosphere from Earth's ring current system. The DSCOVR satellite by NOAA tracks different measurements of the Sun and its atmosphere to predict space weather phenomena.
A new study from China has identified the mechanism by which SARS and MERS could combine, by entering human cells via colocated receptors. If a single person ever catches SARS and MERS at the same time through neighboring receptors and the two viruses combine, we could have a whole new pandemic on our hands, one that could be far worse than the current COVID-19 pandemic. This recombination risk is one driver of a global effort to develop new vaccines that could prevent, or reduce the severity of, infection by a variety of SARS viruses, MERS and any hybrid of them.

Chinese military surgeon, Dr. Jiang Yanyong, who exposed the Chinese government's cover-up of Beijing's outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, died at the age of 91. His act forced a collision of fact with official lies and created the space for other officials and doctors to tell the truth, leading to the ouster of China's health minister and Beijing's mayor and saving an untold number of lives. Jiang's courage had inspired other doctors and officials to speak out, and for a brief period, he was treated as a national hero.
Jiang Yanyong, the Chinese military surgeon who exposed Beijing's cover-up of the SARS epidemic in 2003, has died at the age of 91. He was later detained and silenced after using his renown to seek justice for the government's Tiananmen Square crackdown. His defiance took on renewed historical significance during the coronavirus pandemic, with parallels drawn with Beijing's early cover-ups of infection numbers with COVID-19 and SARS.
Dr. Jiang Yanyong, a former military surgeon who exposed China's cover-up of the 2003 Sars epidemic, has died at the age of 91. He sent a letter exposing the lies in the official narrative to Chinese state broadcasters, who ignored it. But the letter was then leaked to foreign media which published his account in full. His revelations forced the Chinese government to admit it had provided false information, and spurred the WHO into action.
Jiang Yanyong, a military surgeon who exposed China's cover-up of the 2003 SARS outbreak, has died at the age of 91. Unlike Li Wenliang, who was punished for warning about the spread of Covid-19, Jiang was hailed as a hero in state media.
Chinese military doctor and SARS whistleblower, Jiang Yanyong, has died at the age of 91. Jiang revealed the full extent of the 2003 SARS outbreak and was later placed under house arrest for his political outspokenness. News of his death and even his name were censored within China, underscoring how he remained a politically sensitive figure even late in life. Jiang is survived by his wife, Hua Zhongwei, a son and a daughter.
