Harrison Ford poses for photographers upon arrival at the premiere of the film 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' at the 76th international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Thursday, May 18, 2023. Ford, 80, is retiring Indiana Jones, saying goodbye to the iconic swashbuckling archeologist more than 40 years after he first debuted, with fedora, whip and a modest snake phobia. That’s all I can say.”“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the fifth Indiana Jones film, premiered Thursday night in Cannes, bringing an affecting coda to the franchise begun with 1981's “Raiders of the Lost Ark." The next day, Ford was still struggling to articulate the experience of unveiling his final turn as Indiana Jones. “Thanks for noticing.”___Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAP___For more on this year’s Cannes Film Festival, visit: https://apnews.com/hub/cannes-film-festivalCopyright 2023 The Associated Press.

This Volcano-Covered Planet May Be Habitable to Alien Life
NASAOn a glance, LP 791-18 d probably seems like a violent place to live. If new findings from NASA researchers hold up, the Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting a star 90 light-years away from us is teeming with active volcanoes, all over its surface. Interesting geology, sure—but clearly this is no place suitable for life to thrive, right? LP 791-18 d was found by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and the recently retired Spitzer Space Telescope, in combination with data acquired by ground-based observatories around the world. The new paper shows that the planet is probably undergoing the same kind of volcanic outbursts that dot Jupiter’s moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system.

US announces criminal cases involving flow of technology, information to Russia, China and Iran
(AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced a series of criminal cases Tuesday tracing the illegal flow of sensitive technology, including Apple's software code for self-driving cars and materials used for missiles, to foreign adversaries like Russia, China and Iran. Other cases disclosed Tuesday have resulted in arrests. The Justice Department also unsealed a separate criminal case accusing a Chinese national of conspiring to transmit isostatic graphite, a material that can be used in the nose of intercontinental ballistics, to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions. The departments of Justice and Commerce earlier this year launched the Disruptive Technology Strike Force as a way to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring sensitive technology.

A lonely nation: Has the notion of the 'American way' promoted isolation across history?
American lore is full of tales of a nation built on the foundations of individualism. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared it an American epidemic, saying that it takes as deadly a toll as smoking upon the population of the United States. Yet many frontier myths skip over how important community has been in the settling and growth of the nation. In the suburbs, Betty Friedan's groundbreaking “ The Feminine Mystique " helped give voice to a generation of lonely women. “We all know someone who has, or have been that someone ourselves actually, that’s struggled, that’s felt isolated, that’s felt anxious, that has felt alone,” Sudeikis said.

Drip irrigation can deliver efficient water use
Homeowners caring for gardens and landscapes should be “water-wise,” and one way they can do that is by using drip irrigation. Drip irrigation allows for precisely-controlled application of water; it allows water to drip slowly near the plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing and emitters. Drip irrigation may not be right for everyone, but it is a technique that can reduce labor and increase production using less water. Components of a Drip Irrigation SystemDrip line in vegetable garden | Stock PhotoA drip irrigation system consists of a backflow prevention device, a control valve to turn on and off the water, a filtration system, a pressure regulator, mainline and sub-mains, drip lines, drip emitters and air and vacuum release valves. The backflow prevention device is required to prevent water from flowing back into the domestic water system after the water has been shut off.

Zelenskyy visits UK on European tour seeking military aid
The UK is leading the way when it comes to expanding our capabilities on the ground and in the air. It's Zelenskyy's second trip to the U.K. since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The U.K. has become one of Ukraine's major military allies, sending Kyiv short-range missiles and Challenger tanks and training 15,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil. Zelenskyy toured European capitals over the weekend to seek more aid as Ukraine prepares a long-anticipated spring offensive to retake territory seized by Russia. On the European trip, Zelenskyy said it will aim to liberate Russian-occupied areas within Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders, and not attack Russian territory.

(AP Photo, File)(Uncredited)BEIJING – A Chinese envoy was preparing Monday to visit Ukraine and Russia, but there appeared to be little chance of a breakthrough to end the 15-month-long invasion. Li Hui, a former ambassador to Moscow, also will visit Poland, France and Germany, according to the foreign ministry. Political analysts see little hope for a peace agreement because neither Ukraine nor Russia is ready to stop fighting. The trip “expresses China’s commitment to promoting peace and negotiations,” foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Friday.

Making Lunuganga more than just a beautiful garden
Making Lunuganga more than just a beautiful garden By Yomal Senerath-Yapa View(s): View(s):As the Geoffrey Bawa Trust explores, ever more subtly, the potential of Lunuganga not just as a garden but as a fountain of creativity, an essay at self expression and an island’s identity, they are leaping into new territory- finding novel ways to make the garden’s timeless magic reflect. The Biodiversity Conservation Project in Lunuganga is handled by the Biodiversity Unit, Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya and the Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya. Prof. K.M.G.Gehan Jayasuriya, Professor in Botany, said that Lunuganga is special in that it is an island in an estuary with invasive species. Four essential themes will underlie the programme: nature and the natural, empathy through ecology, access beyond language and garden as lens. A 3-D archive project with Clara Kraft Isono and the Royal College of Art in London will explore the garden as a living collection, mapping the past and future at Lunuganga.

State vs. the right to protest
State vs. the right to protest View(s):Events in Pakistan earlier this week coincided with the first anniversary of the events that reverberated throughout Sri Lanka bringing out an eerie resemblance; a grim reminder of how close countries can get to a state of anarchy. The Sri Lanka State was on the brink of collapse. The sometimes excessive use of state power to retain the status quo – only when the agitators confronted the armed forces, drew the ire of human rights defenders backed by Western embassies in Colombo. These are not issues limited to Pakistan or Sri Lanka, but a perennial problem multi-party democracies are grappling with, more so nowadays. Does the state law office not exercise a mind of its own in regard to these matters or do its officers just rubber stamp ‘bad bills’?
