Third set of human remains found in Lake Mead

Published

A another set of human remains has been found in Lake Mead, marking the third discovery in as many months

As America’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead, drops to its lowest water level in 85 years, it is also exposing secrets of the past after a third set of human remains were found.

Covered in mud and left to rot, the person was in a barrel and died by a gunshot wound all the way back in the 1970s.

At this time, Lake Mead was a hive of activity and almost completely full – reaching a depth of around 30 feet.

Now, it’s a whole different story.

Human remains in Lake Mead aren’t the only concern

Lake Mead supplies water to around 25 million people in the Western part of the U.S. and generates electricity for 350,000 homes.

These residents are now all at risk.

The lake has been receding for years and is now filled to just 27 per cent of its capacity.

Despite recent localised monsoon rains, experts believe it’s still not enough to restore the catchment to its former glory.

“Over 90% of water in Lake Mead comes from the upper basin. While rains are really helpful at changing water demands locally, they’re not really impactful to the lake at all”

NASA says the receding water levels are just another illustration of climate change.

Top researchers believe this could well be the region’s worst drought in 12 centuries.

New satellite images have prompted warnings to surrounding states.

Residents are now being told make immediate cuts to protect future supplies as well as power generation.

But in the interim, and as Lake Mead dries up, secrets of the past will just continue to be revealed.

As global tourism revenue surges, cutting-edge technology and automation are revolutionising the hospitality industry.

Global travel demand remains strong heading into 2025, with industry experts predicting record-breaking tourism revenue.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, global tourism revenue is set to hit $1.9 trillion this year.

With record-breaking growth projected for the travel industry, hospitality leaders are embracing AI, automation, and luxury innovations to enhance guest experiences.

As demand for international travel remains strong, hospitality businesses are adapting to evolving traveler expectations through technology and innovation.

One of the key trends shaping the industry is the rise of artificial intelligence and smart automation.

From AI-powered customer service to energy-efficient hotel management systems, technology is redefining guest experiences.

Luxury boutique hotels like London’s Eccleston Square Hotel are at the forefront of this transformation.

Known as one of the world’s most technologically advanced hotels, Eccleston Square has recently unveiled a major tech upgrade.

The hotel is now using Apple TVs from ROOMNET, an advanced automation system developed with Leading Edge Automation, and a cutting-edge building management system by HSYCO. These innovations enhance operational efficiency while maintaining a commitment to sustainability.

These enhancements work in sync with the hotel’s property management system, MEWS, to create a smarter, more sustainable hospitality experience.

As AI continues to reshape the hospitality landscape, Eccleston Square Hotel’s approach reflects the industry’s broader shift toward innovation, efficiency, and sustainability—paving the way for the future of luxury travel.

Nightmare for Labour as Reform UK leads in poll

Reform UK surpasses Labour in polling for first time, with Brexit leader Nigel Farage gaining support amid Conservative decline.

Reform UK surpasses Labour in polling for first time, with Brexit leader Nigel Farage gaining support amid Conservative decline.

In Short

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has overtaken Labour in a YouGov poll with 25% support, while Labour sits at 24% and the Conservatives at 21%. This shift indicates growing discontent with the government, particularly as Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch struggles to regain support.

The poll, conducted among 2,223 adults at the beginning of February, shows Reform UK at 25 percent support, a rise of two points from the previous poll.

Labour has declined by three points to 24 percent, while the Conservative Party has dropped to 21 percent.

While these results are notable, the next general election is not required until August 2029, and Reform’s lead falls within the poll’s margin of error. POLITICO’s Poll of Polls shows Labour and Reform both at 25 percent, with Conservatives at 22 percent.

This polling data is troubling for the government, particularly after Labour’s dominance in the last election, where they achieved a majority with 33.7 percent of the vote. Reform UK was in third place with 14.3 percent.

The findings also reflect poorly on Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who seeks to restore support following recent losses.

YouGov indicates that 24 percent of those who voted Conservative in July would now choose Reform, with 43 percent of Conservative voters in 2024 favouring a merger between the two parties.

Published

In a bold move during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump outlines plans for long-term U.S. control, economic development, and reconstruction of Gaza.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening that the United States will “take over the Gaza Strip,” dismantle its damaged infrastructure, and rebuild the region with a focus on economic development and job creation.

The announcement came during a joint press conference at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking Netanyahu’s first visit under Trump’s second administration.

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,” Trump declared.

He outlined plans to clear unexploded ordnance, level destroyed buildings, and develop housing and employment opportunities.

“Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years,” Trump said, suggesting that U.S. stewardship could bring unprecedented stability to the region.

When asked about the long-term vision, Trump indicated that the U.S. could maintain ownership of Gaza to ensure sustained peace and development.
