Several homes were hit across Gaza on Saturday, with multiple casualties reported in a strike that flattened a house on the outskirts of…

Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has announced plans to develop a major 150 megawatt (MW) solar PV project in Angola to deliver renewable energy to 90,000 homes while creating hundreds of jobs, spurring economic growth, and cutting carbon emissions.

Being touted as one of the most violent films to come from Bollywood, it sees Anil Kapoor take on the role of the emotionally-unavailable, toxic father while Ranbir Kapoor portrays the character of Arjun Singh, living his childhood trauma through his adult life. And what makes…

The best Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel right now typically follow the same holiday tropes: a big city executive travels to a small town and learns the real meaning of Christmas; a local girl falls for a stranger visiting her community; two complete opposites are forced to work together, but soon realize they have more in common than they thought. These proven formulas work in Hallmark Christmas movies and put the audience in the holiday spirit. Similar to Lifetime Channel’s Christmas movies, the Hallmark Channel has shown no signs of slowing down its holiday content. In 2023, Hallmark will…

Tiger Woods said he felt “mentally rusty” on his return to competitive golf on Thursday after the 15-time major winner carded a three-over-par 75 in the first round of the PGA Tour’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. The former world number one has not played since April when he withdrew during the Masters due to injury before undergoing ankle surgery.

Who would’ve thought Apple’s infamous “cheese grater” design for the Mac Pro would work its way into custom PCs? For as much flak as Apple caught, the design of the Mac Pro certainly made a statement, and Cooler Master is making a similar statement with its highly modular Qube 500 Flat Pack. It spits in the face of the best PC cases, going rogue with a design that feels all its own. It’s not just a case with a bunch of holes, though; the Qube 500 features a modular, flat-pack design that provided one of the most unique building experiences…

Dozens of world leaders said they know the planet’s dangerously overheating and they are trying to keep it from getting worse. The next step is to turn their soaring rhetoric voiced at the beginning of the United Nations climate conference into action. In the first of two days of the two-week summit, presidents, prime ministers and royals from nations rich and poor trotted up to the microphone on Friday to lay out commitments to reduce how much their countries spew heat-trapping gases and asked their colleagues to do better. Critics, advocacy groups and even some leaders themselves said that the…

The United States has pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Saturday in Dubai at the U.N. COP28 climate summit. The fund, with more than $20 billion in pledges, is the largest international fund dedicated to supporting climate action in developing countries. The latest pledge, which Reuters was first to report, would be additional to another $2 billion previously delivered by the United States. Sources said the pledge was subject to the availability of funds. The politically divided U.S. Congress needs to authorize the funding. Harris announced the pledge in her address to…
