Stage 2 loadshedding returns between 4pm and 10pm for next three days [TIMES]

Stage 2 loadshedding returns between 4pm and 10pm for next three days [TIMES] Eskom has announced that Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented during peak evening periods from today, Tuesday, May 13, until Thursday, May 15. The power cuts will occur daily between 4pm and 10pm, a schedule the power utility said it has chosen to ensure steady supply during working hours. According to Eskom, the need for loadshedding has been caused by the delayed return of generation units totalling 3 120mw, along with the additional loss of 1 385mw over the past 24 hours due to unexpected breakdowns. Unplanned losses have pushed the unavailable capacity to over 13 000mw. Eskom explained that while the utility is emerging from a period of intense maintenance to improve long-term reliability, the short-term impact has reduced the grid's flexibility, making it more vulnerable to sudden disruptions. Loadshedding times On KwaDukuza's Northern Grid, power will be off on Tuesday and Wednesday from 4pm to 5.30pm. No loadshedding is forecast for Thursday. On KwaDukuza's Southern Grid, power will only go off on Tuesday from 4pm to 5.30pm. There are no interruptions forecast for Wednesday and Thursday. Residents are advised to treat all electrical infrastructure as 'live' during loadshedding periods.

Crimea will stay with Russia: Donald Trump's BIG snub to Ukraine, says it was 'handed' to Russia by Barack Obama

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Crimea, which is internationally recognised as part of Ukraine, will 'remain with Russia'. The POTUS even claimed that the disputed territory was 'handed' to Russia by ex-US President Barack Obama. 'Crimea will stay with Russia,' Trump said in a Time magazine interview published on Friday. 'Zelenskyy understands that,' he continued, adding, 'and everybody understands that it's been with them for a long time." When asked if Russia should get to keep Crimea, Donald Trump further asserted that the strategically significant peninsula was handed over to the Vladimir Putin led nation by Barack Obama. 'This wasn't given by Trump. Would it have been taken from me like it was taken from Obama? No, it wouldn't have happened. Crimea, if I were president, it would not have been taken,' Donald Trump further told the TIMES magazine, during his interview. Donald Trump's Crimea claims come amid ongoing tensions over Crimea, a strategically significant peninsula on the Black Sea that Russia annexed in 2014 during President Barack Obama's administration, years before the full-scale invasion that began in 2022.

China Develops AI Tool to Predict Recurrence of Critical Cancer

Beijing - Saba: A Chinese research team has developed an AI tool capable of predicting the risk of liver cancer recurrence with an accuracy of 82.2 percent. Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a recurrence rate after surgery of up to 70 percent. Accurately predicting recurrence has been a critical challenge. The Xinhua News Agency reported on Monday that researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, led by Sugen Chen, have developed a scoring system called "Times," which measures the spatial distribution patterns of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment to assess the likelihood of relapse. This system is the world's first tool for predicting liver cancer recurrence that integrates spatial immune data, according to the article. The study, published in the journal Nature, showed that the spatial organization of immune cells, not just their quantity, determines clinical outcomes. By combining spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, multispectral immunohistochemistry, and artificial intelligence-based spatial analysis, the team developed a new method for assessing the tumor microenvironment. The system was trained using liver cancer tissue samples from 61 patients. The researchers have made the TIMES system available online for free, allowing users worldwide to upload histological images for immediate risk assessment. Sun explained that the team aims to provide a revolutionary decision-making tool to help physicians optimize individualized treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. He added that they are currently collaborating with industry partners to standardize clinical applications. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
