Sotto una fila di abeti, il fiume Shannon Aloia cammina lungo una remota strada sterrata nella foresta nazionale, scrutando il terreno alla ricerca di spugnole."Trovalo", ordina al suo cane, Jasper.La ricerca ripaga la signora Aloia, un'avida raccoglitrice: individua una solitaria spugnola color miele e la coglie."Il foraggiamento cambia il tuo rapporto con la natura", ha detto. “Sei nel bosco usando tutti i tuoi sensi. Ed è gratificante quando puoi identificare qualcosa, portarlo a casa e prepararlo per la tua famiglia.La primavera nell'emisfero settentrionale è il periodo dell'anno preferito dai raccoglitori come la signora Aloia. È particolarmente popolare nel West americano a causa dei milioni di acri di terre di proprietà pubblica che danno ai raccoglitori la libertà di...

Five years ago, when her party won 6 percent of the vote in the European Parliament elections, Giorgia Meloni tried to uncork a bottle of sparkling wine, but the cork fell off awkwardly among some supporters.Meloni, now Italy's prime minister, emerged as a big election winner this week, and she and dozens of members of her Fratelli d'Italia party partied at a five-star hotel in Rome where waiters carried bottles of wine in silver basins full of ice. The far-right party took almost 29% of the vote. The victory was all the more significant because Meloni was the only leader of a large Western European country to emerge stronger from the ballot.For Mrs. Meloni the elevator could hardly have arrived at a better time. All eyes are on Italy this week as Meloni prepares to host a summi...

Nearly two years after OpenAI kicked off the race to add generative artificial intelligence to products, Apple jumped into the competition on Monday, revealing plans to bring the technology to more than a billion iPhone users worldwide.During a two-hour presentation from its futuristic Silicon Valley campus, Apple said it will use generative artificial intelligence to power what it calls Apple Intelligence. The system will prioritize messages and notifications and offer writing tools that can proofread and suggest what users have written in emails, notes or text. This will also bring a major update to Siri, Apple's virtual assistant.Apple's plans to offer artificial intelligence in its iPhones represent the next step in bringing artificial intelligence into the consumer mainstrea...

When the four Israelis woke up in Gaza on Saturday, they had been held hostage by Hamas for 245 days. The buildings where they were held, two low-rise concrete apartment buildings, looked a lot like other nearby residences in a civilian neighborhood full of Palestinian families.Within hours, the prisoners, three men and one woman, would be reunited with their families, the result of a risky and long-planned rescue operation in which the full might of the Israeli army would be used to devastating effect .“I'm so emotional,” Israeli Noa Argamani, 26, told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone after his release. “It's been so long since I heard Hebrew.”The rescue operation in Nuseirat involved hundreds of intelligence officers and two commando teams simultaneously raidi...

A panel of independent advisors to the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously Monday that the benefits outweigh the risks of the experimental new drug for Alzheimer's disease.Alzheimer's affects more than six million Americans. There is no cure and there is no treatment or lifestyle modification that can restore memory loss or reverse cognitive decline.The drug, produced by Eli Lilly, is donanemab. It modestly slowed cognitive decline in patients in the early stages of the disease, but also had significant safety risks, including swelling and bleeding in the brain.The committee concluded, however, that the consequences of Alzheimer's are so dire that even a modest benefit may be worthwhile.The FDA usually follows the advice of the agency's advisory committees, but...

A Ukrainian official with long experience fighting corruption resigned Monday from a government agency that oversaw mainly Western-funded reconstruction work in Ukraine, citing mismanagement of funds. His departure highlights tension within President Volodymyr Zelensky's government over the allocation of wartime aid.Official Mustafa Nayyem, who had been director of the State Agency for the Restoration of Ukraine, did not report any embezzlement. But his allegations of abuse and mismanagement risked undermining the government's efforts to allay concerns from the United States and other allies about providing billions in aid to Ukraine's war effort.He was the second senior official involved in Ukraine's reconstruction effort to leave in the past month, following the dismiss...

California lawmakers last month advanced about 30 new AI measures aimed at protecting consumers and jobs, one of the largest efforts yet to regulate the new technology.The bills aim to impose the toughest nationwide restrictions on artificial intelligence, which some technologists warn could kill entire categories of jobs, throw elections into chaos with misinformation and pose national security risks. California's proposals, many of which have won broad support, include rules to prevent AI tools from discriminating in housing and health services. They also aim to protect intellectual property and jobs.The California Legislature, which is expected to vote on the proposed laws by Aug. 31, has already helped shape U.S. tech consumer protections. In 2020 the state passed a privacy law ...

Still battling Israel's external enemies on multiple fronts, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu awoke Monday to a new political battlefield at home.The departure this weekend of Benny Gantz and his centrist National Unity party from Israel's wartime emergency government is unlikely to immediately sever Netanyahu's grip on power. The prime minister's ruling coalition still holds a narrow majority of 64 seats in the 120-seat parliament.But Gantz's move means Netanyahu is now totally dependent on his far-right and ultra-Orthodox coalition partners as he presses ahead with the war in Gaza despite growing international opprobrium, leaving him increasingly isolated and exposed at home and abroad.Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot, another powerful National Unity member, also left Netany...

President Emmanuel Macron threw French politics into disarray on Sunday when he unexpectedly called for early elections.The surprise move came after his party was defeated by the far right in the European Parliament elections. Macron dissolved the lower house of the French parliament and announced that the first round of legislative elections would be held on June 30.France now finds itself in unpredictable territory, with the future of Macron's second term potentially at stake. With less than a month to go until the election, parties are now struggling to field candidates, refine their messages and, in some cases, forge alliances.Here's what you need to know about early elections.What happened?France's far-right anti-immigrant Rassemblement National party, led by Marine Le P...
