Shreekumar, a 38-year-old businessman in Dubai, recently experienced a sharp pain in his right shoulder while playing volleyball. He, however, didn’t stop the game. “While I was smashing the ball, I twisted my shoulder.

Global efforts to prevent crimes against nature and bring offenders to justice are being hampered by glaring differences in environmental protection laws among countries and regions, UN crime prevention experts said. “Stronger legislation can help deter potential and repeat offenders and expand the range of investigative tools and resources for law enforcement to stop crimes that affect the environment,” said Angela Me, Chief of Research and Analysis at the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), presenting the report.

NASA’s Juno mission is busy studying not only the planet of Jupiter, with its strange weather and strong magnetic field, but also several of its icy moons ,including the intriguing Europa.

Juno has taken high-definition photos of Europa’s surface, and scientists have recently analyzed this data to identify fractures and other features running across the icy shell. The researchers expected…
