Meghan Markle has requested to be addressed as "Ma'am," according to Scott Moore, the newly appointed CEO of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. Moore revealed that he was advised to use this form of address during his first meeting with the Duchess of Sussex earlier this year, alongside "Sir" for Prince Harry. This approach diverges from traditional royal protocol, which typically begins with "Your Royal Highness." Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple no longer holds "HRH" titles, making such formalities unnecessary. Notably, Prince Harry had previously encouraged informality, asking to be called simply "Harry" at a 2020 event. The Invictus Games, founded by Harry in 2014, are set to take place in Vancouver from February 8 to February 16, 2025, following a successful event in Germany last year, where Markle hinted at possibly bringing their children, Archie and Lilibet. 
Published: Oct 31 2024, 12 pmeznews.inA groundbreaking study from Cornell University, published in _Nature_, has revealed a connection between pupil size and memory processing during sleep, suggesting that pupil dilation and contraction may indicate the type of memories being relived in dreams. Researchers utilized advanced eye-tracking and EEG technology to monitor the sleep patterns of mice that learned new tasks, such as navigating a maze. They discovered that during NREM sleep, pupils contracted when new memories were replayed and dilated when past experiences were processed, indicating a rapid alternation between these states. This phenomenon suggests that the brain can efficiently manage new learning without erasing old memories, addressing a long-standing issue in memory research. The findings could pave the way for advancements in memory enhancement techniques and improvements in artificial intelligence, as scientists explore the implications for both biological and artificial neural networks.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 8 ameznews.inSEOUL: South Korean authorities moved on Friday to execute an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces criminal charges for insurrection related to a controversial martial law attempt on December 3. This unprecedented action against an incumbent president has sparked significant unrest, with hundreds of protesters gathering outside Yoon's residence to block police efforts to carry out the arrest. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), supported by police and prosecutors, arrived early at Yoon's compound, but access was blocked by the Presidential Security Service. Protesters, some brandishing U.S. and South Korean flags, expressed their determination to protect Yoon, who has been isolated since his impeachment on December 14. His legal team argues the arrest warrant is invalid, and the Constitutional Court is currently reviewing his impeachment case. A second hearing is set for later Friday.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 6 ameznews.inA US Army veteran, Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, has been indicted for attempting to support Hezbollah, a group designated as a "terrorist" organization by the US government.

If convicted, Molloy could face up to 20 years in prison for providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 6 ameznews.inUS President Joe Biden revealed on Thursday that the New Orleans attacker, identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, utilized a remote detonator to trigger Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in ice coolers in the French Quarter before crashing his vehicle into a crowd on Bourbon Street. The FBI confirmed the recovery of two IEDs planted by Jabbar just hours prior to the attack, which resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals, including the assailant. Jabbar, an ISIS supporter, had an ISIS flag in his vehicle and had expressed his allegiance in online videos. Biden vowed to "relentlessly pursue" ISIS and other terrorist organizations, asserting there will be no safe haven for them in the US. Additionally, he noted that while investigations are ongoing, no evidence has been found linking the New Orleans attack to a recent explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 6 ameznews.inIn the wake of a deadly attack in New Orleans, where an ISIS supporter drove into a crowd during New Year's celebrations, President Joe Biden vowed to intensify efforts against ISIS and other terrorist groups. The attack resulted in 15 fatalities, including the assailant, Shamsud Din Jabbar, who had previously posted videos expressing support for ISIS. Biden confirmed that 35 individuals were injured and stated that the FBI found no evidence of additional involvement. Jabbar was also linked to explosives planted in the French Quarter hours before the attack. Investigations are ongoing regarding any potential connections to a separate incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas, which killed one person. Although both vehicles were rented from the same service, authorities have yet to uncover any direct links between the two events.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 4 ameznews.inA decorated US Green Beret, Matthew Livelsberger, 37, died in an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, with authorities suggesting he shot himself before the blast. Livelsberger's charred remains were identified through military ID and personal documents, and he was found with a gunshot wound to the head and a firearm at his feet. The incident, which injured seven people, involved a vehicle packed with fuel containers and fireworks, although investigators noted that the explosion lacked the sophistication expected from someone with his military background. While the FBI found no links to terrorist organizations, the timing of the incident raised questions, especially following a deadly attack in New Orleans hours earlier. Livelsberger, who had served in Afghanistan and was stationed in Germany, was on approved leave at the time of his death, with his motivations still unclear.

Published: Jan 03 2025, 2 ameznews.inTime perception can vary significantly based on circumstances, with unfamiliar environments or feelings of boredom making time feel prolonged, while engaging activities often speed it up. In his new book, psychologist Steve Taylor introduces the concept of "time expansion experiences" (Tees), where seconds can stretch into minutes, particularly during emergencies or intense focus. Research indicates that around 85% of people have experienced a Tee, with many occurring in high-stress situations, allowing individuals to react more effectively. Theories about why these experiences happen include increased information processing and altered states of consciousness. Taylor suggests that these shifts may enhance our awareness and connection to our surroundings, leading to a distorted sense of time. Notably, Tees can also occur during peaceful moments, such as meditation, challenging the notion that they are solely linked to stress or danger.
