The life cycle of electrical assets typically spans 25-30 years under ideal conditions. However, many companies don't maintain their electrical assets, which may result in reduced asset life. In addition, the inspection periods for electrical assets are often neglected and the standard operating procedures recommended by manufacturers are often overlooked. This oversight can lead to costly unscheduled downtimes, asset repairs and/or replacements. Establishing an electrical maintenance program as recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the National Fire Protection Association can help mitigate risks of unscheduled outages and increase the life of your electrical assets.

Crude prices retreated on Tuesday after rallying the previous session, with markets focused on developments in the banking crisis and indications of strengthening demand in China. Prices eased after rising at the fastest pace in more than four months on Monday. West Texas Intermediate U.S. crude was down 1 cent, or 0.01 percent, to $72.80 a barrel. Brent crude futures fell 19 cents to $77.93 a barrel by 0651 GMT.

At first listen, the hit ballad 'Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw' registers as a torch song about a tormented person on the verge of leaving a love gone cold. It's a valid, if obvious, interpretation. But the song, cowritten and originally recorded by Sheryn Regis, was actually inspired by an entirely different subject: the singer's relationship with herself and her inner struggles with her sexual identity. 'The song goes, ‘Umiiyak gabi-gabi / Walang tinig na naririnig / Nakikipaglaban sa digmaan na talunan / Hanggang Kailan / Talo na, pagod na.

In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, authors Gabriel Gellner and Kevin McCann from the University of Guelph and SFI External Professor Alan Hastings (UC Davis) invert a classical approach to modeling food webs. Instead of trying to replicate stable, complex ecosystems using simplistic representations of species interactions, the authors' novel inverse method assumes the ecosystems exist and works backward to characterize food webs that support that assumption.

The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired a long-range ballistic missile into the East Sea at around 10 a.m., the latest provocation amid tensions caused by the reclusive regime's accusations against U.S. spy aircraft operations earlier this week. Yoon is visiting Vilnius this week to attend a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit.

Countless stories depict heroes banishing the darkness with overwhelming light. However, our modern cities may succeed in eliminating the night skies forever, sparking a unique fear called 'noctalgia' or 'sky grief.' Urban areas worldwide emit so much light that we've made it difficult to see stars and heavenly bodies. Soon, we may never see them again due to light pollution. Astronomy experts Chris Impey and Connie Walker found the night sky became 9.6% brighter annually on average. Also, a child born in 2023 may only see 100 out of 250 stars in a specific spot on their 18th birthday.
