� � � � � � How to See the ‘Ring of Fire’ Annular Solar Eclipse of October 14 - Scientific American    This annular solar eclipse will only reveal its full glory to a select few, but onlookers across much of the Western Hemisphere can catch a partial glimpse of the dazzling phenomenon People in parts of the U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America are in for a rare celestial treat in October: an annular eclipse of the sun. An annular eclipse is similar to a total solar eclipse, in which the moon completely covers the sun’s face, except at the former’s peak, the moon is too small in the sky to fully blot out our home star. This creates a bright ring of sunlight around a dark lunar silhouette—thus the name “annular,” which means “ring-shaped.” (Some people prefer to simply call an annular eclipse a “ring of fire” instead.)

Wall Street cheered as the stock shot up to $9.77 on Wednesday when the drug developer said its experimental cancer therapy in a cocktail with two Roche Holding AG drugs worked better than the pair of drugs by themselves. The surge after the Roche-run study helped push Tempest’s market value to $130 million from a mere $3 million as of the previous day’s close.

Issued Warnings of Potential Gaza Flare-up Before Hamas Attack- The New York Times    Reports issued days before the Hamas attack did not foresee such a deadly strike, but did say rocket attacks were possible. A pair of classified C.I.A. intelligence reports issued in the days ahead of a major Hamas attack on Israel warned about a potential escalation in violence but did not predict the complex, multipronged attack that Hamas gunmen launched against Israel, according to U.S. officials. The first of the intelligence reports, dated Sept. 28, described the possibility that Hamas would launch rockets into Israel over a period of several days. Continued here � � � � � � Attack on Israel Reverberates Through Jewish New York- The New York Times    Usually lively and often fractious, political conversations are set aside among the large community of Jews in the city. New York’s Jewish community is the largest outside of Israel, and it is often polarized, particularly regarding Israel and its treatment of Palestinians. Since the brutal terror attacks on Israelis last Saturday, many New York Jews said they have put aside those differences. This week, thousands of Jews from across the political and theological spectrum gathered outside the United Nations, many wrapped in blue and white Israeli flags, coming together both to grieve and to condemn the assault.
