Trump Uses Decoy Plane Amid Iran Assassination Threats

Ricci Wynne, a 39-year-old MAGA influencer known for his controversial content about homelessness in San Francisco, was indicted on federal charges of producing child sex abuse material. The indictment, announced on Tuesday, includes two counts related to incidents involving minors in April and October 2022, according to documents obtained by HuffPost. Wynne, who goes by "Raw Ricci" and has a following of over 100,000 on Instagram, was initially arrested in November for pimping and pandering after he was taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport. At that time, he was also named a suspect in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old, as reported by The San Francisco Standard. Evidence recovered from Wynne's cellphones and luxury apartment suggested he may have been running a sex work operation across multiple cities. Currently held in federal custody, Wynne has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Divya Tyagi, an Indian-origin master’s student in aerospace engineering at Pennsylvania State University, has made significant advancements in wind energy production by solving a century-old mathematical problem. Her breakthrough in refining a model originally posed by British aerodynamicist Hermann Glauert could lead to improved wind turbine designs and enhanced efficiency, according to Penn State University’s official website. By addressing limitations in Glauert’s model, which focused solely on the maximum power output of wind turbines, Tyagi's solution incorporates additional critical factors such as rotor forces and blade bending under wind pressure. “I created an addendum to Glauert’s problem which determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine,” she stated. Her research, published in Wind Energy Science, not only simplifies complex calculations but helps maximize the power output of wind turbines. Sven Schmitz, Tyagi’s advisor, praised her work, noting its potential impact on the next generation of wind turbines. Tyagi was awarded the prestigious Anthony E. Wolk Award for her thesis, emphasizing the importance of her contributions to sustainable energy solutions.

NASA has reported that a 540-foot asteroid, designated 2014 TN17, is heading toward Earth at a speed of 77,282 km/h. This asteroid, which is roughly twice the size of the Taj Mahal, is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid due to its size and proximity risk. Although its trajectory poses no current threat, continuous monitoring is warranted given the potential for gravitational disturbances to alter its path. The asteroid will make its closest approach on March 26, 2025, at 5:04 PM IST, coming within 5 million kilometers of Earth, more than 13 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. According to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, even a minor deviation in the asteroid's orbit could have catastrophic consequences, similar to the Tunguska event in 1908, when an explosion believed to be caused by an impacting object flattened about 80 million trees. Astronomers globally are closely monitoring Apollo group asteroids, including 2014 TN17, to ensure early detection and risk management.
