Russian space agency chief attributes Luna-25 moon lander’s crash to decades of inactivity

LONDON. On Monday, the head of Russia’s space agency disclosed that the Luna-25 spacecraft’s lunar crash resulted from engine shutdown failure, citing Russia’s prolonged hiatus in lunar exploration as a contributing factor to the incident.

The pilotless Luna-25 was slated for a Monday landing, aiming to become the first spacecraft to touch down on the moon’s south pole, a region believed to house significant stores of frozen water and valuable elements.

Yury Borisov, Director General of Roscosmos, explained that the spacecraft’s engines, activated over the weekend to establish a “pre-landing orbit,” failed to deactivate as intended, leading to the unfortunate impact on the lunar surface. The communication with the spacecraft was maintained until 2:57 p.m. local time Saturday, after which contact was lost, resulting in the craft entering an open lunar orbit before crashing onto the moon.

This mission marked Russia’s first lunar venture since 1976 when it was a part of the Soviet Union. Successful moon landings have only been achieved by three countries: the Soviet Union, the United States, and China.

Borisov attributed the mishap to the “negative experience of interrupting the lunar program for almost 50 years,” expressing the view that discontinuing the program now would be an ill-advised decision.

The Luna-25 was engaged in a race against an Indian spacecraft launched on July 14, both aiming to reach the moon’s south pole between August 21 and 23. An earlier Indian attempt in 2019 to land on the moon’s south pole resulted in a crash.

Launched from Russia’s Far East Vostochny Cosmodrome on August 10, the Luna-25 mission showcased Russia’s ambitions to be at the forefront of space exploration. The lunar south pole is of significant interest due to the possibility of frozen water reserves within the shadowed polar craters, which could be harnessed for future space missions.

Despite the recent setback, Roscosmos affirmed that the moon mission remains essential for long-term “defense capability” and “technological sovereignty.” Borisov declared that the “race to develop the moon’s natural resources has begun,” envisioning the moon as an ideal platform for deep space exploration.

Sanctions imposed on Russia following its involvement in the Ukraine conflict have impacted the country’s space program, posing challenges in accessing Western technology. Although initially intended to carry a small moon rover, the Luna-25 had its design modified to improve reliability by reducing weight.

In scientific circles, the lunar south pole’s permanently shadowed craters are seen as promising locations for frozen water that could be converted into air and rocket fuel by future explorers.

Drag artist Pura Luka Vega, idineklarang “persona non grata” sa Lucena City

LUCENA CITY, Quezon. Lalo pang lumalakas ang kontrobersya sa paligid ni Pura Luka Vega, isang kilalang drag artist, matapos itong ideklarang “persona non grata” sa Lucena City dahil sa kanyang polemikong pagganap ng “Ama Namin.”

Inaprubahan ng Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Lucena kahapon ang isang resolusyon na nagtatakda kay Amadeus Fernando Pagente, o mas tanyag sa pangalang Pura Luka Vega, na ituring na “persona non grata” sa lungsod.

Ayon kay Konsehal Benito ‘Baste’ Brizuela, Jr., ang nagmungkahi ng resolusyon, ang ginawang pagganap ni Pura Luka Vega ay “disrespectful, blasphemous, and shouldn’t be done by anyone regardless of what religion they might be talking about.”

Nauna dito, naideklara na rin bilang “persona non grata” si Pura Luka Vega sa mga lalawigan ng Laguna, Bukidnon, General Santos City, Floridablanca sa Pampanga, Toboso sa Negros Occidental, at sa Maynila.

Europe’s sweeping rules for tech giants set to take effect: a breakdown of how they work

London. As Europe gears up for a significant shift in regulating the operations of Big Tech companies, including Google, Facebook, TikTok, and others, a comprehensive effort to enhance online content safety and curb harmful content is about to commence. The European Union’s groundbreaking Digital Services Act (DSA), part of a series of tech-focused regulations, is set to roll out its first phase this week. Here’s a breakdown of how these rules will work and the changes they entail:

Key Highlights:

  • Scope of Application: The DSA will apply to major digital platforms and services that have a substantial user base within the European Union. Notable platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon, and Google Play, are among those subject to the initial rollout. The rules will also extend to online marketplaces, search engines, and content platforms.
  • Objectives: The DSA aims to ensure users’ online safety by preventing the dissemination of illegal or harmful content, including hate speech, misinformation, and harmful products. It seeks to safeguard fundamental rights like privacy and free speech.
  • Compliance: Companies failing to comply with the DSA may face substantial fines, with the largest platforms facing the highest level of regulation. Notably, companies with over 45 million users or constituting 10% of the EU’s population will be subject to stricter regulations.
  • Operational Changes: Platforms are already making changes to their systems to meet the DSA’s requirements. These include the establishment of new reporting mechanisms for users to flag illegal content and products. For example, Amazon introduced new channels to report suspected illegal products, while TikTok provided additional reporting options for various types of illegal content.
  • Content Moderation: Platforms will establish specialized teams of moderators and legal experts to evaluate flagged content and determine its compliance with regulations. Content that violates platform policies or legal standards will be removed, with explanations provided to both the content creator and the flagger.
  • Personalization and Ads: The DSA prohibits targeted advertising aimed at vulnerable groups, such as children. Platforms like Snapchat and TikTok have made adjustments to their advertising practices, particularly for young users. Personalized recommendations on TikTok can be turned off, and Snapchat will limit personalization tools for teen users.
  • Challenges and Impact: Some companies, like German online fashion retailer Zalando, have challenged their inclusion in the DSA’s list of largest online platforms. However, the impact of the DSA is expected to be far-reaching, potentially influencing global changes in digital platforms’ operations.
  • Enforcement and Penalties: Violations of the DSA could result in fines up to 6% of a company’s global revenue or even a ban from operating in the EU. Enforcement will focus on assessing whether platforms have appropriate processes in place to minimize harm caused by their recommendation systems.
  • Global Implications: Europe’s regulatory changes could have a global ripple effect, influencing digital practices beyond the EU’s borders. Platforms like Wikipedia are also making adjustments to their policies on a global scale.

As the DSA’s first phase takes effect, tech giants and digital platforms operating within the EU are poised to implement these new rules and operational changes, fostering a safer and more accountable online environment for European users.

PH, sasali sa trilateral naval drill South China Sea

Ibinalita ng Chief of Staff ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) na si General Romeo Brawner, Jr. na sasali ang Pilipinas sa mga joint drill ng iba’t ibang bansa sa South China Sea.

Ipinahayag ni Brawner ang kanyang kumpiyansa sa pahayag na ito, kasabay ng pagsasaad na hindi tumanggi ang Pilipinas na sumali sa trilateral naval drill ng United States, Japan, at Australia na kagaya ng ibinalita ng Kyodo News.

Ayon kay Brawner, patuloy pa rin nilang ang iniimbestigahan ang impormasyong inilabas ng Kyodo News.

“Hindi po totoo ‘yun na nag-decline tayo. Actually, ang ibig po nilang sabihin is that hindi tayo sumama o nag-commit ng barko,” paliwanag ni Brawner.

Sa ulat ng Kyodo News, binanggit na magpapadala ang Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ng kanilang “pinakamalaking destroyer,” ang Izumo. Inaasahan din na magpapalipad ng kanilang mga barkong pandigma ang Royal Australian Navy at US Navy, kabilang ang mga amphibious assault ship na Canberra at America.

Binigyang diin ni Brawner na mayroong mga plano ang Pilipinas na magdaos ng mga joint exercises kasama ang mga bansang gaya ng US at Australia.

Sinabi rin sa ulat na “kinansela” ng Pilipinas ang kanilang pakikilahok sa isang joint drill dahil sa mga pagsasaayos ng mga sasakyang panghimpapawid ng tatlong iba pang mga bansa na “masyadong malaki upang dumaong sa mga deck ng mga barkong pandigma ng Pilipinas.”

Ang Japan, Australia, at US ay mga bansang kumilala sa 2016 arbitration ruling sa isang kaso noong 2013 na isinampa ng Pilipinas.

Philippine Christian University, pinatawan ng ‘show cause’ order ng CHED

Naglabas ng “show cause” order laban sa Philippine Christian University PCU) ang Commission on Higher Education (CHED) dahil sa mga alegasyon ng ilang paglabag na pinaniniwalaang ginawa ng naturang institusyon.

Ayon sa Komisyon, inireklamo ang PCU para sa sumusunod na mga pagkakasala:

  • Offering transnational higher education (TNHE) programs without the requisite government permit, in violation of Republic Act No. 11448, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 6, s. 2023;
  • Failure to provide relevant data on its international institutional partners, i.e., notarized MOAs, accomplished activities, among others, in violation of RA 11448, its IRR, and CMO No. 6, s. 2023;
  • Non-compliance with the prescribed faculty to student ratio for its Doctor of Philosophy in Business Management program;
  • Posting public announcements about TNHE programs without the proper CHED authorization in violation of RA 11448 and its IRR;
  • Partnering with institutions that are not recognized by their respective governments as quality higher education providers nor accredited by recognized accrediting body(ies) in its country of origin, in violation of RA 11448 and its IRR; and
  • Offering shortened graduate programs through extension classes via distance education and online modalities without authority, in violation of CMO No. 27, s. 2005.

Dahil dito, ipinag-utos ng CHED sa PCU na “agad itigil at ihinto” ang pag-aalok ng mga nabanggit na programang walang pahintulot.

“To protect the public and pursuant to existing laws and regulations, PCU is ordered to immediately cease and desist from offering and implementing any and all programs for which it does not have official CHED permit, recognition or authorization to offer or conduct, including but not limited to, transnational higher education, distance education and fully online classes,” ayon pa rin sa pahayag. 

Ang “show cause order” ay isang opisyal na kautusan mula sa CHED na humihiling sa PCU na ipaliwanag ang kanilang mga aksyon o mga hakbang na ginawa. Ito ay isang uri ng legal na proseso kung saan ang pinakamalapit na kahulugan ng “show cause” ay ang pagpapakita ng sapat na dahilan o paliwanag para sa mga kilos o aksyon na ginawa.

Musk admits X may be doomed to fail as new glitch wipes out pictures from former Twitter platform

Musk admits X may be doomed to fail as new glitch wipes out pictures from former Twitter platform

Elon Musk, the proprietor of X – formerly known as Twitter – acknowledged on Saturday that the social media platform “may fail,” as a new glitch caused the loss of most pictures tweeted before December 2014.

“The sad truth is that there are no great ‘social networks’ right now. We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one,” Mr. Musk posted on X.

Since acquiring the company for $44 billion, the multibillionaire has been making bold changes, from laying off over three-fourths of Twitter’s workforce to his latest announcement that the platform’s feature to block other user profiles would be removed.

The rebranded platform, now known as X, has also encountered outages and glitches recently. The latest glitch appears to affect tweets containing images and links published before December 2014.

X seemed to struggle to display older posts with attached images or hyperlinks shortened using Twitter’s built-in link shortener. Notably, the widely shared “most retweeted” selfie from the 2014 Oscars by host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres was among the initially lost images. While this image has been restored, most tweets before December 2014 now have broken short links instead of the actual media or links.

“More vandalism from Elon Musk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. That’s – so far – almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service,” Brazilian YouTuber Tom Coates posted on Twitter.

The glitch follows X’s deliberate move to slow down access to rival social media platforms’ sites such as Threads, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as news organizations like The New York Times, last week. X introduced a delay of approximately five seconds when users clicked on links leading to other websites.

Speculations arise that the recent glitch, which prevents access to old images, might be linked to X’s efforts to free up server space. However, this may not necessarily be an intentional move aimed at cost-cutting. Some users report being able to view their old images again, but the exact cause of the glitch remains unclear.

Susuriin ng mga senador ang ₱10-B budget cut sa pondo ng DOH para sa 2024

Susuriin ng mga senador ang ₱10-B budget cut sa pondo ng DOH para sa 2024

Nagpahayag ng pangamba ang ilang Senador noong Lunes hinggil sa malaking pagbawas sa badyet sa proposed 2024 budget ng Department of Health (DOH).

Ayon kay House Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto noong Linggo, aabot sa ₱10 bilyon ang bawas sa itinakdang “agency proper” na badyet ng DOH para sa taong 2024.

Sinabi ng kongresistang mula sa Batangas, ang inihahandang badyet para sa Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases ng DOH ay tinakda sa ₱1.7 bilyon, nabawasan ng ₱1.2 bilyon mula sa ₱2.9 bilyong alokasyon ngayong taon, at mas mababa pa sa orihinal na hiling ng Palasyo na ₱2 bilyon para sa taong 2023.

Ayon sa mambabatas, kinakailangan pa rin ng DOH ang pondo sa gitna ng patuloy na epekto ng pandemyang COVID-19 kahit itinaas na ang state of public health emergency. Nilinaw niya na ang pangangailangan na ito ay nasa ilalim ng iniuulat na ₱20 bilyong alokasyon para sa mga benepisyo ng mga health workers.

Si Recto ay nagpahayag na “the big payroll and overhead in maintaining a large bureaucracy, plus rising debt service” ang nagiging hadlang sa mga serbisyong panlipunan.

Ipinahayag ng ilang senador ang kanilang kumpiyansa sa publiko na sila ay tatalima sa pagsusuri sa inihahandang badyet para sa DOH, at iginiit na dapat itong maging isa sa mga prayoridad sa pagbuo ng pambansang badyet.

Sa simula pa lamang, ipinahayag ni Senador Bong Revilla na tila kulang ang halaga nito kumpara sa badyet ng taong 2023. “Sa kasalukuyan nga ay parang kulang na kulang na ang ating pondong inilalaan para sa ating mga ospital kaya dapat sikapin na mas matugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng sektor,” ang sabi niya sa mga reporter.

Sinabi naman ni Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel na hindi tatanggapin ang anumang pagsasayang ng alokasyon sa harap ng inirerekomendang budget cut. 

“There should be no wastage and leakages when it comes to the purchase of vaccines, medicines, vitamins, and other supplies. We should not cut the budget for the basic services. But in calculating the amounts needed for the basic services, we should also not allow the bloating of these amounts,” ayon sa kanya.

Tiniyak ni Recto ang publiko na magtutulungan ang Kongreso at ang executive branch na humanap ng paraan upang mapataas ang budget.

“Just like in the past, Congress and the executive, in the spirit of cooperation, will find ways on how to increase the health budget. In the spirit of cooperation, we will find ways on how to increase the health budget,” pahayag niya.

Binigyang diin din niya na matapos mabayaran ang mga benepisyo at allowances ng mga medical frontliner ngayong taon, magkakaroon ang DOH ng “malaking budget space” para sa taong 2025.

Binati rin niya ang administrasyong Marcos sa pagtutok na makakuha ng ₱2.02 bilyon para sa cancer control at cancer patient assistance para sa taong 2024, na halos kalahating bilyong piso ang dagdag kumpara sa alokasyon para sa taong 2023. Pinuri ni Recto ito bilang “magandang balita.”

Samantala, sinabi ni Senador Sonny Angara na ang Senate finance panel ay naghahangad na maglabas ng isang committee report ukol sa programa ng pambansang gastusin sa unang bahagi ng Nobyembre.

Rice millers: Presyo ng bigas inaasahang bababa ‘in 2-3 weeks’

Inaasahang bababa ang presyo ng bigas sa loob ng dalawang hanggang tatlong linggo, ayon sa mga miyembro ng asosasyon ng mga rice miller.

Ayon sa ulat, sinabi ni Elizabeth Vana, presidente ng Nueva Ecija Rice Millers Association, na ang pagbaba ng presyo ay resulta ng papalapit na panahon ng pag-aani ng palay.

“Inaasahan po natin na sa loob ng 2 hanggang 3 linggo, bababa po ito ng P2 hanggang P3. Ang pagbaba po ay magiging unti unti”

Ayon sa datos na inilabas ng Department of Agriculture, ang kasalukuyang suplay ng bigas, na naapektuhan ng mga nagdaang bagyo, ay may presyong P55 kada kilo para sa regular na gilingang bigas at aabot ng P57 para sa well-milled na bigas.

Sinabi naman ni Roderico Sulit, miyembro ng Philippine Rice Industry Stakeholders Movement, na “naaapektuhan talaga ang kalidad ng bigas nila. Ito ang mga uri ng bigas na maaaring iniaalok ng ating mga kasamang nagtitinda.”

Bagamat ang average na presyo ng bigas ngayon ay P50 kada kilo, sinabi ng Philippine Rice Industry Stakeholders Movement na may mga mas murang de-kalidad na bigas na nagkakahalaga ng P38 kada kilo na maaring mabili sa ilang mga pamilihan.

Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashes on moon, ending pursuit of lunar south pole

MOSCOW. Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after entering an uncontrolled orbit, as confirmed by the country’s Roscosmos space agency on Sunday.

The unpiloted spacecraft had the ambitious goal of becoming the first to touch down on the lunar south pole. Scientists believed this area held significant reserves of frozen water and valuable elements.

The anticipated landing date was set for Monday. However, Roscosmos announced that communication with Luna-25 was lost on Saturday when the spacecraft encountered difficulties and reported an “abnormal situation.” Luna-25 was in a competition with an Indian spacecraft launched on July 14 to secure the first arrival at the south pole. Both craft were expected to reach the moon sometime between August 21 and 23. This lunar mission marked Russia’s first since 1976, during the era of the Soviet Union.

Only three governments—Soviet Union, United States, and China—have achieved successful moon landings. Scientists were particularly intrigued by the lunar south pole, where permanently shadowed polar craters were speculated to contain frozen water within rocks, a resource that future explorers could potentially transform into air and rocket fuel.

A previous Indian endeavor to land at the south pole in 2019 ended in failure when their spacecraft collided with the moon’s surface. Roscosmos aimed to demonstrate that Russia was capable of delivering payloads to the moon and securing guaranteed access to its surface. Sanctions imposed on Russia due to its actions in Ukraine had hindered its space program’s access to Western technology.

Initially planned to carry a small moon rover, the Luna-25 abandoned this idea to enhance the craft’s reliability by reducing its weight, according to analysts.

The spacecraft was launched from Russia’s Far East Vostochny Cosmodrome on August 10. This spaceport was a personal endeavor of Russian President Vladimir Putin and played a pivotal role in his aspirations to elevate Russia to a space superpower.
