TriRail train derails in Deerfield Beach no injuries
DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A Tri-Rail train came off the CSX railroad tracks in Deerfield Beach at the start of rush hour.7Skyforce HD hovered above the scene in the area of Southwest 10th Street and 12th Avenue, about a quarter mile west of Interstate 95, Tuesday afternoon.According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, they received a call about the derailment at around 3:15 p.m.Officials said the southbound train was heading to the Miami International Airport when its leading locomotive derailed from the tracks.One of the train’s wheels apparently came off at a switching area underneath an overpass. Officials said the train was moving very slowly at the time it derailed.There were about 200 passengers on board the three-car train. No one was hurt.The most pressing issue for crews was making a makeshift staircase to allow passengers to de-board. The train came to rest at an angle that creates a steep incline for passengers. At around 4:30 p.m., Tri-Rail officials began bringing shuttle buses to take passengers to their destination.Officials said all passengers were removed from the train by 5 p.m. They were taken to the nearest Tri-Rail station in Pompano Beach.Another track was being used to move other trains past the disabled Tri-Rail train, but officials cautioned customers to expect some delays in this area.It remains unknown what caused the train to come off the track.Copyright 2019 Sunbeam Television Corp.

Sarah Tew/CNET Darn near perfect. That’s how I’d describe the Brother HL-L2395DW, a compact monochrome laser printer that also scans and copies. It normally sells for $169.99, but for a limited time, Amazon once again has the Brother HL-L2395DW for $99.99. If you miss out, don’t fret: This is at least the seventh time in the past year it’s gone on sale for that price. (Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.)Read more: The best printers for 2019See it at AmazonThis is a decidedly modern printer, with a touchscreen interface, auto-duplexer (for double-sided printing) and support for mobile devices and cloud-printing. It can also scan directly to cloud services such as Dropbox, Evernote and Google Drive. That’s a huge convenience, though my excitement is mitigated by the printer’s sole imperfection: It lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF).That means you can’t automatically scan (or copy) a stack of pages. You have to lay them on the flatbed one at a time. I’m sure that’s a dealbreaker for some, but if you’re mostly just looking for fast monochrome printing and occasional copies, this is a gem of a deal.Everything else you need to know can be found in Dan Ackerman’s effusive Brother HL-L2395DW review.

Dozens of new variable stars found in a dense globular cluster This document is subject to copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study or research, no part may be reproduced without the written permission. The content is provided for information purposes only. Explore further A team of astronomers from Chile has detected nine new variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 6652 and its background stream. Six of the newly found stars were classified as eclipsing binaries, one as an SX Phoenicis star, and two remain unclassified. The finding is detailed in a paper published December 10 on arXiv.org. Variable stars could offer important hints into aspects of stellar structure and evolution. They could be also helpful for better understanding of the distance scale of the universe.In particular, studies of variable stars in star clusters are of special interest for astronomers as they have the potential to help identify systematic errors that affect stellar distance indicators. However, although stellar variability in globular clusters (GCs) of the Milky Way galaxy is one of the oldest branches of astronomy, there are still many galactic GCs in which the census of their variable star content is far from complete.One such understudied cluster is NGC 6652, residing some 32,600 light-years away from the Earth and about 8,800 light-years from the center of the Milky Way, in front of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. It is an old (about 11.7 billion years), fairly metal-rich galactic globular cluster associated either with the Milky Way’s inner halo or the outer parts of the bulge.A group of researchers led by Ricardo Salinas of Gemini Observatory in Chile, has conducted a search for variable stars in NGC 6652 and the background Sagittarius stream. They have analyzed archival data from the Gemini Multiobject Spectrograph (GMOS) at the Gemini South telescope, which resulted in finding nine new variable stars.”We conducted a variable star search on the metal-rich galactic globular cluster NGC 6652 using archival Gemini-S/GMOS data. We report the discovery of nine new variable stars in the NGC 6652 field, of which we classify six as eclipsing binaries and one as an SX Phoenicis star, leaving two variables without classification,” the astronomers wrote in the paper. The newly detected variable stars received provisional designation from V15 to V23. V17 is an SX Phoenicis star, while the classification of V15 and V21 is currently unknown. The most interesting find presented in the paper is V17 – a pulsating blue straggler. It is a member of the Sagittarius stream and has a well-defined period of 0.039 days.In general, SX Phoenicis stars like V17 have spectral types between A2 and F5, vary in magnitude by up to 0.7, and short period pulsation behavior varying on timescales from 0.03 to 0.08 days. All known SX Phoenicis variables in GCs are blue straggler stars as they are more luminous and bluer than stars at the main sequence turnoff point for the cluster.When it comes to the six binaries, V16 was found to be a long-period eclipsing binary, V18 a Beta Lyra-type eclipsing binary, and V19 most likely a W Uma type, although a Beta Lyra membership cannot be excluded. According to the researchers, V20 is also most likely of W Uma type, V22 could be a RGB star in an eclipsing system, while V23 is an eclipsing variable of the Algol type. © 2018 Science X Network Citation: Astronomers discover nine new variable stars (2018, December 19) retrieved 18 August 2019 from https://phys.org/news/2018-12-astronomers-variable-stars.html A finding chart for the discovered variables in the NGC 6652 field, based on a GMOS r image.

Through his spokesman, Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci said on Thursday that he disapproves of moves restricting Greek Cypriots’ right to worship in the north.Akinci’s spokesman Baris Burcu said in a written statement the Turkish Cypriot leader disagreed with the decision by the ‘government’ in the north to deny a request for Greek Cypriots to hold the Good Friday service at Ayios Georgios Exorinos in Famagusta.As a result, the matter has become politicised, allowing “certain quarters on the Greek Cypriot side to take advantage of it,” Burcu added.On a practical level, the denial was also bad for business, as a number of Turkish Cypriot merchants were counting on the church service to cater to visiting Greek Cypriot worshippers.According to Burcu, Akinci told the ‘governing parties’ in the Turkish Cypriot ‘parliament’ that he thought the decision was wrong.Holding a service at the Ayios Georgios Exorinos church, which was reinstated only in 2015 after 58 years, was recently denied by authorities in the north.It appears the move is a casualty of a new policy in the north last year limiting Orthodox services and introducing permits for such events. The reasoning was that there were too many services taking place and they could not all be adequately policed.Commenting on this earlier in the week, President Nicos Anastasiades said he raised the matter with Akinci during their latest meeting.Akinci replied that it was a “government” decision, not his.A number of Turkish Cypriot civil society organisations have condemned the move, saying it harmed rapprochement between the two communities.You May LikeTruthFinder People Search SubscriptionOne Thing All Liars Have in Common, Brace YourselfTruthFinder People Search SubscriptionUndoFigLeaf Beta AppGet Maximum Privacy with Minimum EffortFigLeaf Beta AppUndoTotal Battle – Online Strategy GameIf You’re PC User This Strategy Game Is A Must-Have!Total Battle – Online Strategy GameUndo Concern over falling tourism numbersUndoTurkish Cypriot actions in Varosha ‘a clear violation’ of UN resolutions, Nicosia saysUndoTwo arrested in connection with attempted murderUndoby Taboolaby Taboola
