Remote Australian town looking for doctor offers $400,000 salary, free rent A remote Australian town that will soon lose its only doctor is offering a salary of up to 680,000 Australian dollars, or $428,000, to attract a new candidate. The remote Queensland town of Julia Creek, population 500, is also offering free rent and a car. The pay is about double what a family physician would earn in the state's capital, Brisbane. The catch is that the closest major city, Townsville, is a seven-hour drive. Brisbane is over 17 hours away. Prospective applicants must also embrace searing heat and tropical insects. But the town's outgoing medic, Dr. Adam Louws, says his replacement will also find a quieter pace of life and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Rare life-sized statues of toga-clad couple found in Pompeii tomb Life-sized statues of a man and a woman were discovered in a tomb in Pompeii, researchers said, thousands of years after a deadly volcano wiped out the ancient Roman city. Researchers say the nearly life-size figures shed new light on life and religion in Pompeii, which was destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. The discovery was made while researchers from the archaeological site and the University of Valencia worked on an excavation focused on the necropolis of Porta Sarno, which was just outside the city, according to a news release. The site served as a burial ground, and was discovered in the 1990s during railway construction. Since 1998, researchers have found evidence of over 50 cremation burials in the necropolis. The current excavation, called "Investigating the Archaeology of Death in Pompeii," has been...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Sahara desert, once lush and green, was home to mysterious human lineage, study says The Sahara desert, once lush and green, during a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago, was also home to a mysterious human lineage, a new study has found. Researchers from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology detailed in a study published in Nature this week their findings from the DNA of two 7,000-year-old naturally mummified individuals excavated from the Takarkori rock shelter in southwestern Libya. The humans lived during the "African Humid Period," when the Sahara desert was green and dotted with lakes and streams. Humans lived in the area, and pastoralism — or flock tending — was prevalent, researchers said. ...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Tiny country of Liechtenstein shocked by 37% tariffs The country of Liechtenstein is tucked away in a valley between the Swiss and Austrian Alps. It's so tiny you could fit it four times over into New York City and still have room to spare. But in trade, it punches above its weight. This alpine paradise is home to several world-class makers of premium products, and that's made it a target for President Trump's tariffs. Among the country's exports are power tools, cables, connectors and high-quality fillings and false teeth. Everything will now have a tariff imposed at the US border of 37% — which is almost double the tariff that will be applied to Liechtenstein's European neighbors.

But the powder is in short supply. And a 24% tariff on Japanese imports, set to go into effect on April 9, is expected to make matcha more expensive.

Doctor with "lust for murder" charged with killing 15 patients under palliative care in Berlin A doctor in Berlin has been charged with murder over the deaths of 15 patients under palliative care, prosecutors said Wednesday, alleging he acted out of a "lust" for killing.

That number has crept higher since last summer, and investigators now say they've found evidence linking him to the deaths of 15 people between Sept. 22, 2021, and July 24 last year.

Over the last 600 years — since 1378 — cardinals have been chosen for the position, although eligibility technically extends to any male Roman Catholic who has been baptized.
