Here’s our latest article. This one is very important, so make sure to prepare for what’s coming. You can read it below or see it on the website here: https://theweeklynews0.wixsite.com/yourweeklynews/massive-sunstorm-approaches BREAKING NEWS: A massive sunstorm is approaching Earth and could cause blackouts, internet outages, and more electronic problems. Read on to find out more. ​ What is going on? A sunstorm? Let's find out. Want to skip the complex science stuff? Skip ahead to paragraph 5 (this is paragraph 1). ​ First off, a large sunstorm is also known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). CMEs are large releases of plasma from the Sun's corona into the existing magnetic field. A corona is the outer layer of a star like the Sun, and is normally made of plasma. ​ But how do CMEs happen? Well, you need to first have a sunspot. A sunspot is a planet-sized area on the Sun where the magnetic field is stronger than the rest of the Sun. This causes the plasma in the corona to erupt violently out of the Sun's surface. That is then called a coronal mass ejection because the plasma massively ejects out of the corona. ​ And how often do they happen? Well, first you need to understand what the solar maxima and minima are. Yeah, it's a lot of science. First, you need to understand that the sun has an 11-year solar cycle. This solar cycle results in increased CME activity during some specific parts of the cycle. This is called the solar maxima. Meanwhile, the solar minima is when the CME activity is heavily decreased in the cycle. So going back to the question, how often do CMEs happen? Near solar minima, there is about 1 CME every 5 days. On the other hand, during solar maxima, the Sun produces about three CMEs a day. ​ So during solar maxima, if the Sun makes three CMEs a day, how come we don't feel the effects of any of those? Well, it's because the Sun is 93 million miles away from Earth. Only extremely strong CMEs are strong enough to escape the Sun's gravitational pull. Once these extremely strong CMEs enter what is called, interplanetary space, they are titled as interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME). ICMEs are then, finally, titled, sunstorms, or solar tsunamis. They travel millions and millions of miles through space. These can then hit Earth's magnetosphere. ​ But what are the effects of these sunstorms hitting Earth's magnetic field? Let's find out. When ICMEs hit the magnetosphere, they cause good and bad things. The bad things are that the following magnetic ripple in the field can cause blackouts, fires, electronic cable malfunctions, and internet outages. Although there is one good thing. The said ripple can also cause beautiful auroras in the far north and south, and when a sunstorm hits, you don't want to miss its aurora. ​ The massive sunstorm approaching Earth is expected to hit sometime this week, with the possibility of it hitting starting on Saturday, July 23, 2022, and it will cause massive global effects, so be prepared. Your household could face internet problems, electronic malfunctions, and even blackouts. By Armaan Dhawan

Why exactly can't one of the world's most popular singers release anything new for a few years? Well, the answer may sound a little strange. Justin Bieber has Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Let's dive into it. ​ First of all, what is Ramsay Hunt syndrome? This rare syndrome occurs when an ear infection spreads to a facial nerve, so the first thing that happens is ear pain, rashes around your ear, and more like that. It's pretty unlikely to get a severe ear infection, but if you do, it can spread to the facial nerve that is connected to your ear. This is even rarer, but how long it lasts depends entirely on how fast it is discovered. If it is discovered early, then the side of your face affected by the infected facial nerve will un-paralyze in a few weeks. However, if it is discovered late, it could last for many months, even years in some cases. Sometimes, it is discovered too late, and it is paralyzed forever. ​ But don't worry. There is still hope for Justin Bieber. His was discovered pretty late, so health officials warn that it will last many years, but there is a very low chance of him never recovering. ​ Nevertheless, this may be a career-ending problem for Justin Bieber, as he will not release another song for many years, but many of his fans will definitely be awaiting his return until then.

Some earlier viewers may remember the article on the Wheat Crisis in Ukraine. If you haven't read it, check it out in our Archives! Just click the 'More' button in your toolbar on the top! Anyway, now it has reached a crisis point again! Here’s what's happening. Similar to World War II, Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin is trying to control the wheat area in Ukraine due to the recent war there. If you haven’t already read the article on the Russo-Ukrainian War, I suggest you do, so that you can understand this article better. It is in our 'World News' section. During World War II, Russia (the Soviet Union at the time) and its leader Joseph Stalin tried to occupy the wheat fields in Ukraine, but did not let them ship out any wheat so that Russia/the Soviet Union could take all of the money and sell it for extra high prices. This caused a massive famine in the countries surrounding Ukraine because Stalin had cut off their wheat supply and was selling their last resort of wheat at extremely high prices. Adolf Hitler, Germany’s leader tried to take that area as well, but he couldn't because the Soviet Union was occupying it. Now Putin is trying to take over Ukraine's wheat fields like Stalin had, which could result in a major famine again! By Henry Kelly TWN Readers, keep watching out for our podcast coming soon!

Apple has announced some new things this year in their Worldwide Developers Conference. Let's go over what happened! Apple Vision Pro: Apple's long-rumored virtual and augmented reality headsets are officially here. The Apple Vision Pro, which goes on sale early next year for $3,500, is what CEO Tim Cook calls "the first Apple product you can see from inside instead of looking at." The display has a glass front and an aluminum frame, connected to a soft headband that the wearer can adjust or replace for a better fit. The headset features a thin braided cable that connects the wearer to his pack of external aluminum batteries about the size of a deck of cards that the wearer can slip into his pocket. Apple says it tested thousands of heads as part of its research into headset development. Glasses wearers can also use the headset. Apple worked with Zeiss to develop a customized optical insert that magnetically fits into the display. However, these inserts are sold separately and the price is unknown. The Apple Vision Pro has a feature called EyeSight that lets you control the transparency of the display using the digital crown, just like the Apple Watch. Opacity allows you to see the entire room through the camera (and people can see your eyes on the external display) Opaque virtual reality mode for a more intense experience not possible from an augmented reality view wide-ranging too. Vision Pro App (and how to use it) Virtual and augmented reality views with Apple Vision Pro. Picture: Apple Apple wants Vision Pro to combine work and entertainment. The headset automatically connects wirelessly to your Mac, allowing you to take over your computer's desktop (and all the processing power) while you're wearing the headset. At WWDC, Apple showcased headsets as a tool for conducting more interactive meetings and collaborating with colleagues, but also how headsets can create portable movie and gaming experiences. I was. Control Vision Pro using hand gestures, eye movements, and voice. Apple calls the technology "spatial computing," and Cook likened it to a new generation of smartphone-like computers during the presentation. Headsets collect tons of data to track hand movements using LIDAR, True Depth cameras, and many other cameras. Vision Pro has the M2 chip, like most modern Macs, but it also has a new chip called R1 that processes data in real-time from 12 cameras, 5 sensors, and 6 microphones. increase. Vision Pro also features a 3D camera that can record video in a 3D format that can be re-watched in your headset. Once Vision Pro is set up, it uses cameras and sensors to create a "persona" that appears in FaceTime calls and other situations where you are "with" other people. Your persona is a 3D recording of your likeness. It is currently unknown if this avatar has legs. The operating system on the device, visionOS, has a set of processes for specifically managing all cameras and timings and coordinating all the hardware included in the headset. The new headset supports apps installed from the new visionOS App Store. When you put on the headset, the apps pop up in front of you and you can use your eye movements, hand gestures, or voice to select them. You can also interact with existing Apple apps like Messages and Safari in many ways. For example, you can drag a 3D object out of the message and view it separately. Apple has given prominent developers early access to Vision Pro, so Microsoft apps like Excel and Word, for example, are already compatible. In a big move, Apple partnered with Disney to make Disney available on the Vision Pro at launch. The CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, appeared at his WWDC to demonstrate how Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse can appear in augmented reality on a headset. MacBook: The 15-inch M2 MacBook Air is a larger version of its upgrade candidate, the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. The new laptop shares the same layout as its 13-inch sibling. USB-C Thunderbolt port, MagSafe port for charging, and headphone jack. The 15.3-inch screen has 500 nits of brightness, which is great for typing in well-lit areas (which would have been useful here at Apple Park, to be honest). It will drop to $1,300 when it launches next week, with the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air discounted to $1,100. The new MacBook Air is available for pre-order starting today. Mac Studio and Mac Pro New Apple Mac Studio. Picture: Apple Apple will also launch a second generation Mac Studio based on the ultra-high performance M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips. The new Mac Studio will be able to use 192GB of unified memory. This is a step above the 8GB to 16GB of RAM recommended for most computers. Apple says the new Mac Studio can support up to six Pro Display XDR displays. Mac Studio starts at $2,000 and will be available next week. Amazingly, Apple's custom chip is also used in the Mac Pro, an ultra-powerful computer typically sold to commercial customers such as film and animation studios. The new Mac Pro has an M2 Ultra chip, which Apple says can support 2 separate chips and can import many separate 4k camera feeds and encode them to ProRes format in real time. It will have 8 Thunderbolt ports and 6 free PCI-e expansion slots. Apple says the announcement completes the transition of its product line to Apple Silicon. The Mac Pro will be available next week and will cost a whopping $7,000. macOS Sonoma: The latest version of macOS, called Sonoma, makes the Mac even more like the iPhone. The biggest feature is the addition of widgets that can be pinned directly to the desktop. These desktop widgets automatically adjust as you switch windows to reduce distractions. You can also access widgets from your iPhone and pin them to your MacBook's desktop screen. Apple is still trying to bring games to the Mac. Sonoma adds a game mode that prioritizes game performance over other applications running on your Mac. And Apple hopes to reduce and simplify Mac game development time by introducing a game porting toolkit for bringing PC games to the Mac. Famed video game developer Hideo Kojima appeared at his WWDC and announced that Death Stranding: Director's Cut is coming to Mac later this year. Metal Gear His Solid Kojima, best known for his games, said this was just the beginning of bringing the game to the Mac. macOS Sonoma also offers video conferencing enhancements that let you add presentation effects such as a firework effect that appears when you give a double thumbs up, or the ability to throw the screen content over your shoulder like a newscaster. These effects can be used in any app like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Apple's Safari web browser adds profiles, much like Google Chrome already has a very useful feature. Profiles allow you to separate your work and personal browsing. Safari will also integrate the ability to share and edit passwords between people. You can even pin certain websites to your Mac Dock and macOS will automatically launch them as web apps. iOS 17: Stickers, Standby, Siri iPhone showing time, date, weather, temperature, and alarms in Apple's new standby Picture: Apple iOS 17 is packed with small improvements that make using iPhone easier and more enjoyable. Key features to expect this fall include: Apple is adding contact posters that let you share photos and text that appear when you call your contacts. This customization is very similar to what Apple released for the lock screen and home screen last year, so expect a similar level of artistic expression. Contact posters are also posted to individual contacts. If you miss (or dodge) a call, Apple automatically starts transcribing your voicemail in real-time, so you can read your voicemail while the caller is recording it. can. This is an advanced method for monitoring calls that you do not want to answer. You can also leave FaceTime voicemails as short video clips. A new safety feature called Check-in can be activated while driving and automatically notify family and friends when you arrive safely at your destination. People you invite to follow can see your routes, cell phone coverage, and cell phone battery level. Check-In can even send notifications to your contacts if you deliberately deviate or stop, so they don't have to worry. If you've spent hours lovingly crafting Memojis that look just like you and sharing them with your friends, you'll love Apple's new Stickers feature that lets you create stickers from your Live Photos. Then you can send it to your friends via iMessage. Apple is adding a new feature to its AirDrop called NameDrop, a new way to share contact information with others. You can customize the contact information you share with your contact poster. A major update will allow AirDrop to continue through the internet even if your phone or device is out of range. iOS 17 also has a major change in AutoCorrect. The artificial intelligence that powers transcription on iOS has been upgraded to learn the words and phrases you use most often. The next version of iOS will also include Journal, a new multimedia journaling app. This helps you capture your memories in a more structured way rather than just looking back at your photo library. iOS 17 added a new mode to iPhone called Standby. If you hold your phone horizontally while the screen is off, you'll see a screen with a clock (and widgets if you choose). The new mode also supports live activity and Siri, so it's designed to give you information at a glance. Speaking of voice assistants, they have also finally gotten rid of the "Hey" in "Hey Siri." ​ watchOS 10: The Apple Watch is all about fitness, and soon smartwatches will be able to connect to bike sensors, giving hardcore cyclists more data to incorporate into their tracking. The new Cycling Live Activity also allows you to view your ride data using your mobile phone. The Compass app has received a major update and now automatically records two waypoints that are useful for hikers. The first waypoint automatically records the last location you used regular cellular service, and the second waypoint is the previous location where you were able to make an SOS call. These waypoints can be viewed in the Compass app's new 3D space. The health app has also evolved into a resource to help you pay more attention to your mental health, including mood trackers and screening surveys you can share with your healthcare provider. The Apple Watch dial is also likely to be more useful. The pictures that act as dials are beautiful, but they are not useful for information. With watchOS 10, you can use your full-screen photo as your face and scroll up to see a list of suggested widgets and apps. This feature is very similar to the Siri screen but implemented more dynamically. New watch face options are coming soon as well. Snoopy appears in a variety of poses and the watch face can even react to the weather. A new option called Palette displays the time in a series of bright colors. But third-party apps still fail to deliver the watch faces that developers (and Apple Watch owners) have always asked for. iPadOS 17: The iPad will also receive a software upgrade this fall. iPadOS 17 includes home screen and lock screen changes. Apple is changing iPad widgets by making them interactive rather than just static buttons and information displays on the home screen. The lock screen redesign includes adding widgets, live activities, and a new astronomical screen. The iPad is designed to get the job done, and Apple has finally managed to overhaul how PDFs are handled on tablets. The iPad is a great way to type, annotate, and generally work with PDFs. The iPad also lets him edit PDFs live between his two Apple devices via FaceTime calls. The Health app is coming to iPad with a new dashboard for the larger tablet screen. With a focus on data and graphs, you can delve into all the health data your Apple Watch generates. In addition, it is groundbreaking for the first time to be able to set multiple timers at once (however, it is still unknown whether this function will be installed on the iPhone). Enhanced Audio and Video: The AirPods Pro earbuds have some new features from Apple. The new "Conversation Detection Mode" detects when you speak and automatically lowers the music volume and puts the earbuds into transparency mode. This great feature that allows you to make quick calls was popularized by Sony a few years ago. Adaptive Awareness Mode reduces low-frequency noise, such as the roar of an airplane engine, while allowing high-frequency sounds, such as conversations, to reach your ears. JBL and 1More also had similar settings as part of their ANC options, but Apple seems to be making the transition automatically instead of having to touch a button to switch. Apple also claims to have improved background noise reduction during calls. A caveat with microphone noise reduction is that non-speech noise in the same frequency range as the human voice can still be picked up when the earpiece wearer is speaking. AirPlay, which makes it easy to stream audio and video from your iPhone or iPad to compatible devices, has also been greatly improved. Hotel rooms can use AirPlay to send audio or video to their in-room TV by scanning a QR code. CarPlay users can share control of their car's music with iPhone users using the SharePlay feature. And FaceTime is coming to Apple TV. Set-top boxes don't have cameras, so you'll need to set up your iPhone or iPad as a camera, but then you'll be able to see your FaceTime calls on the big screen.
