What does an oil refinery do?

The EU wants more escorts

The EU says additional ships are needed for Operation ASPIDES to escort commercial vessels through the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Tracking systems offer no guarantee

Many ships have been turning off tracking equipment to avoid being spotted, but Greek maritime monitor Marisks warned that attacks may still occur.

Shipping costs may stay high

Even if the United States allows some companies to use previously sanctioned tankers for non-sanctioned oil, old vessels and continuing European insurance restrictions could limit any savings.

The collapse spread downward

When the top-floor roof gave way, its rubble crashed through the classrooms underneath and brought down ceilings on three floors.

The structure was overloaded

Officials said the building had substandard roof slabs and was carrying more weight than it could safely bear.

Narrow streets slowed rescue

The school's location on a very narrow street made it difficult for emergency crews to reach the building and take injured children to hospital.

Ukraine made an accusation

The available text reports Ukraine’s claim but provides no independent confirmation or detailed explanation of the alleged restriction.

Starlink supports battlefield links

Satellite internet can help troops communicate and connect to online tools in places where ordinary networks are damaged or unavailable.

Timing is central here

The allegation focuses on access being restricted before the strike, but the available text does not say how long the restriction lasted or whether it directly affected the attack.

Gas drove the monthly increase

Gasoline prices jumped 9.1% from August and accounted for more than half of the CPI’s monthly increase.

Underlying inflation also quickened

Core CPI rose 2.6% over the past year, excluding energy and gasoline, up from 2.4% in August and above the 2.5% forecast.

Transport costs raise other prices

Diesel reached $6.29 a gallon, which can make shipping goods more expensive and add pressure to prices such as groceries.

AI stocks face a broader tech wreck

The article describes the pressure as extending beyond individual AI companies to high-flying technology stocks more broadly.

Inflation complicates bond demand

Hot inflation can make government bonds a less comfortable refuge because rising prices threaten the value of their fixed payments.

Safety comes with a tradeoff

Moving into bonds may reduce exposure to tech losses, but investors give up some of the high growth they hoped to get from AI stocks.

The requests seek detailed records

Investigators are looking for documents about specific safety incidents, privacy policies and the safeguards the companies use.

Outside groups may be questioned

The FTC is expected to send subpoenas to third-party organizations later, widening the inquiry beyond Anthropic and OpenAI.

Public anxiety is widespread

A recent AP-NORC poll found that 64% of U.S. adults think AI is developing too fast, while eight in 10 said government control is extremely or very important.

The ads targeted specific devices

Discover-Tech's Controlium platform appeared designed to place malicious content alongside ads shown to individual users or devices.

The exposure reached sensitive networks

Records showed ads appearing on devices used by militaries, governments, critical infrastructure, and national cyber agencies, though infection was not established.

The platform leaked valuable data

Researchers said exposed website code let them recreate a control panel, while a public area also revealed dashboard login records linked to Candiru and Bindecy employees.

Iron Man widened the reach

Its library contained more than 2,300 templates impersonating banks, retailers, healthcare providers, police departments, and other organizations across more than 150 countries.

Japan helped expose the network

The investigation began after Japan's National Police Agency reported fraud activity aimed at people and businesses there, leading researchers to the wider Chinese-language marketplace.

The takedown has limits

Microsoft said the operators made tens of millions of dollars, and the article notes that without arrests the marketplace or similar services could reappear.

Subscriptions unlock deeper help

Free users get conversation summaries and 14 days of memory, while the $11.99-a-month Bee Pro plan adds unlimited summaries, suggested to-dos, app connections, and a chat assistant.

Raw audio is deleted

Bee processes conversations in real time and deletes the audio, while encrypted transcripts are controlled by keys created by the user’s device.

Frontier lasts seven days

The wrist-or-clothing device includes dual microphones, noise filtering, USB-C charging, and IP67 water resistance, with up to seven days of battery life.

Four warning signs triggered review

CMS focused on applications lacking a Social Security or immigration number, involving a broker, showing no premium payment, and having no insurer contact or claims.

People had 30 days

Insurers were told to use at least two contact methods and give targeted policyholders 30 days to provide missing information before cancellation.

The data remains limited

The administration has not said how many cancellations were reversed, how strong its outreach was, or how long reinstatement takes.

The gap spans 25 years

The headline says this is the first new sunscreen type in the United States in 25 years.

Availability is limited geographically

The announcement specifically refers to US store shelves and does not say whether the product is available elsewhere.

Key details remain unknown

The article does not name the sunscreen or explain its ingredients, protection level, or differences from current products.

Several bottle sizes qualify

The recall covers 200-, 500-, and 1,000-count bottles of 500 mg extra-strength caplets.

Lot numbers identify products

Consumers should compare the lot number and expiration date on their bottle with the specific combinations listed in the recall.

The risk level remains unassigned

The FDA has not yet given the recall an official risk classification, but people who already took the pills and have health concerns should call a doctor.

Past breakthroughs changed security

The number field sieve made 512-bit RSA much easier to crack, prompting cryptographers to move toward keys of at least 2,048 bits.

Test attacks are improving quickly

In a study of 191 code-breaking challenges, AI models progressed within months from uncertainty about simple attacks to finding previously unnoticed weaknesses.

Speed alone may not suffice

Even an attack made a billion times faster could still require more computing power than attackers can realistically obtain.

Summer losses briefly slowed

September ice coverage has been comparatively stable over the past decade, partly because increased cloud cover reduced sunlight reaching the ice, but it remains far below its historical average.

Older ice is disappearing

Multiyear ice has declined significantly, leaving more first-year ice that forms during winter and is more vulnerable to melting the following summer.

Satellites see through clouds

Passive microwave sensors measure the different microwave signals from ice and open water, allowing scientists to track coverage even when clouds hide the surface.

The risk remains uncommon

The estimated increase was three to four extra cases per 10,000 patients treated over 18 months.

Vision loss is usually partial

The condition typically affects part of the visual field in one eye rather than causing complete blindness.

Some patients may face higher risk

Cases were more common among men and people ages 50 to 65, who may already have higher baseline risk.

Snell nearly escaped trouble

After Chourio’s opening homer, Blake Snell struck out nine and retired 14 straight batters before a seventh-inning walk restarted the rally.

Bauers has been getting on base

His regular season included 94 walks, a .389 on-base percentage and 26 home runs, showing that his patient approach was a major part of his value.

Mitchell delivered another blow

Garrett Mitchell followed Bauers’ homer with a 428-foot shot, and closer Trevor Megill then recorded a four-out save to protect the lead.

Rahm was a major creditor

Court records listed Rahm as LIV Golf's largest unsecured creditor, with $7.5 million owed when the league filed for bankruptcy and reportedly more than $100 million remaining on his contract.

His team stake is gone

Rahm forfeited his equity in his LIV team but will keep the Rahmbo and Legion XIII trademarks, although he cannot use Legion XIII in another league.

A tour return remains uncertain

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has said the former program that let some LIV players return will not be restored, so Rahm may need another route back.

Home court follows seeding

As the No. 2 seed, Golden State hosts Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 if those games are needed in the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

Atlanta gets a larger arena

The Dream’s Gateway Center Arena holds about 3,500 fans, while State Farm Arena seats more than 17,000.

The schedule runs through October

The series could last seven games, with the deciding Game 7 scheduled for Oct. 31 in San Francisco if necessary.

The album has many collaborators

The released and announced songs include artists such as Tame Impala, SZA, Cardi B, Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, and Keith Richards.

The score differs from songs

Justice’s score is original background music for the game, while “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album” is a collection of 34 standalone tracks.

Physical editions are planned

The album will be sold on multiple vinyl versions and CDs, with special editions available through retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon.

New York’s stages are expanding

The state’s soundstage inventory has grown 43% since 2020, helping it host long-running scripted shows in the same facilities.

New Jersey is filling up

New Jersey’s filming count fell 24% year over year partly because its existing stages are at capacity while several large studio projects are still under construction.

Georgia is gaining a foothold

Georgia’s production spending rose 32% in the quarter, helped by projects including Superman: Man of Tomorrow, while American Idol is preparing to move production from Los Angeles to Atlanta.

Album promises complicate the clock

Record deals are usually built around delivering a set number of albums rather than working for a fixed number of years, so reaching seven years does not automatically settle every dispute.

Damages remain hard to prove

Walker can argue that nobody knows how a future album would have performed, while Interscope is expected to point to her three previous albums reaching No. 1 or No. 2.

Artists often negotiate privately

The seven-year rule can pressure labels to renegotiate, but the possibility of a damages lawsuit means artists commonly use it as leverage instead of testing the issue in court.

The exception has expired

Until September, countries could temporarily skip biometric checks when queues became too long, but Brussels declined to extend that option.

Industry groups want relief

Airlines and airports asked for the emergency power to return because delays at entry points have become a practical problem.

Most non-EU visitors are affected

The Entry/Exit System applies to people from outside the EU entering most European countries, rather than replacing passport checks for everyone.

Members keep mapped status

Current A-List members will convert to Silver, while A-List Preferred members will receive Gold under the new system.

Rewards start before status

Milestone Rewards will give members benefits as they progress toward Silver, rather than requiring them to reach a status tier first.

Lounges support premium travel

Southwest’s lounge concept is being developed in partnership with Chase as the airline expands beyond its traditional model.

Hosts still set the rates

The tool shows hosts an Airbnb-recommended price range and how nightly prices could change with supply and demand, rather than simply taking control of pricing.

The service adds to commissions

Although dynamic pricing is free to use, hosts already pay Airbnb commissions of about 15.5%.

More tools could follow

Bernstein identified possible additions including revenue management, design advice, property-management software, guest communications, cleaning coordination, insurance, and smart-home hardware.

Losses vary by district

The estimated impact ranges from $3.6 million in Newton County to $35.5 million in Gwinnett County.

Sales taxes fund construction

Because data centers are exempt from local sales taxes, districts could collectively miss out on as much as $645 million this fiscal year for school construction projects.

Property gains can offset losses

Higher property values from data center development may bring schools more property-tax revenue, but local development authorities can negotiate additional exemptions that make the overall loss difficult to measure.

Absences rose after raids

A study of more than 100,000 children in California’s rural Central Valley found daily absences increased 22% after early-2025 immigration raids.

Newcomer enrollment stopped growing

One Tennessee school’s beginner English class usually grew from five to seven students in August into the teens, but remained at seven this year.

Legal risks are also worsening

Unaccompanied minors reportedly have less than a 2% chance of winning asylum, while their removal orders have tripled compared with the final years of the first Trump presidency.

Educators value core safeguards

Among respondents, 95% called health and safety regulations extremely or very important, compared with 93% for staff-to-child ratios and 89% for educator qualifications.

More children can hide needs

Eighty percent of respondents worried that larger groups would make it harder to meet children’s individual developmental, behavioral and emotional needs.

Indiana saw problems quickly

After one Indiana classroom grew from 10 to 12 toddlers, teachers struggled to track behavior and identify children who might need services, so the program added a floater.

Protection takes time

The vaccine takes about two weeks to build full immunity, which is why an early spread makes delaying the shot more consequential.

Vaccines reduce severe illness

Flu vaccination lowers the risk of serious illness by an average of 40 to 60 percent, rather than guaranteeing that someone will not catch flu.

Treatment works best early

Prescription antivirals such as Tamiflu work best when started within 48 hours of symptoms, especially for older adults, pregnant people, and others at higher risk.

Agencies face almost no barrier

Only New York requires a special license for surrogacy agencies, allowing unknown or inexperienced operators to set up elsewhere.

Old cases shaped today’s rules

The 1980s Baby M dispute helped make commercial surrogacy illegal in New Jersey after a surrogate who was also the child’s genetic mother changed her mind.

Pregnancy decisions can clash

The Texas case involving McKenna West showed how intended parents and a surrogate can disagree over abortion when a fetus is found to be seriously ill.
