Flag And Cross: Researchers Discover 12,000-year-old Musical Instruments
Researchers have discovered 12,000-year-old musical instruments in Israel, including seven prehistoric wind instruments - the first to be discovered in the Near East. The flutes, made from the bones of small waterfowl, produce sounds similar to certain birds of prey when air is blown into them. The study says the Natufians, the Near Eastern civilisation that occupied a village on the site, considered the birds to have special symbolic value, as attested by the many ornaments made of talons found at Eynan-Mallaha. The village was home to this civilisation throughout its 3,000 years of existence.

Forbes: Philadelphia Bridge Collapse Crystalizes Fossil Fuel Debate
A tanker fire caused a section of Interstate 95 to collapse in Philadelphia, highlighting the debate over fossil fuels and climate change. Both sides will use the tragedy to justify their beliefs and policies. While pipelines are the safest means of transmission of fossil fuel products, pollution is a global problem that requires a global response. China is the world's largest emitter of CO2, and the switch toward renewables constitutes significant progress, but without China fully on board, a full switch away from fossil fuels is unlikely to produce the desired result. The best option is to transition to renewables as quickly as possible in a step-by-step process. The billions of dollars pledged for renewable energy development serve little purpose if the projects cannot be timely permitted.
