Lingering traffic disruptions are likely in parts of Midtown Manhattan in New York, New York, due to the "March to End Fossil Fuels" taking place in the area Sept. 17. Protest organizers are calling on President Joe Biden to halt new oil and gas projects and take action to curtail fossil fuel use. Tens of thousands of climate activists are reportedly participating in the march, which comes ahead of the UN Climate Ambition Summit in New York Sept. 20. Participants gathered at the intersection of West 56th Street and Broadway from around 12:00 before beginning to march eastward toward 1st Avenue and East 51st Street at 13:00.

Australian company High Earth Orbit Robotics posted images of the Long March 5B first stage on Twitter on Wednesday (Nov. 2), showing the roughly 23-ton (21 metric tons) piece of space junk during its slow descent to Earth.
The Long March 5B rocket successfully launched the Mengtian module to China's Tiangong space station on Monday (Oct. 31). The launch also put the large first stage of the rocket into orbit, as has happened on previous Long March 5B missions as well.
This tends not to happen with other orbital rockets, whose first stages are designed to ditch into the ocean or over unpopulated land shortly after launch or, in the case of SpaceX vehicles, come down for vertical landings and future reuse.

The face is that of an anguished madonna too pure to live. She is the blind princess in Fellinis And the Ship Sails On, her fingers like antennae as they waft over chess pieces, her smile angelic. On screen she seems born to play saints and madwomen. But Pina Bausch is not an actress; a dancer and choreographer, she has been the director of the Tanztheater of Wuppertal for more than ten years. Hers is a hybrid company, composed of dancers, stuntmen, an actress with the deep voice of a blasted city, the occasional singer, a pair of Alsatians, a hippopotamus, and four rubber crocodiles. Neither dance nor theater, the Tanztheater of Wuppertal is a circus of attitudes. Pina Bausch is choreographer, ringmaster, group leader in truth games and revelations that put the cozy confessions of A Chorus Line to shame. Her troupe answers such questions onstage as "What makes you want to pee-pee?'' with tumblers full of water as props. A girl lights matches between a mans toes. Lust, death, fornication, high spirits, and the courting rituals of provincial life all have equal weight. The circus of attitudes is focused by a wry, mystic cynicism. When Cupid shoots arrows, his victims fall down dead. Pina Bausch could have choreographed the dance in Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, but she would have added a few extras for an extra cosmic laff. At Venice's Malibran Theater last summer, four stuntmen scaled the tiers of loges to dive from the very gods into pyramids of cardboard boxes onstage, creating a very loud noise. This was during Nelken, a four-hour diversion in which 800 erect carnations protruding from the stage floor are trampled nightly, mainly by men in chiffon evening dresses walking on their hands. There have been attempts to liken Bausch's work to the new German cinema, but the new German cinema was never this much fun.

Thousands of union members and community activists rallied in downtown New York City Thursday afternoon for what was billed as a March on Wall Street, led by the the presidents of the NAACP and the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor group. They carried signs and chanted populist slogans as they marched down Broadway past Wall Street an hour after the markets had closed for the day.
Several thousand union members and activists rallied near City Hall, and then marched through the financial district to protest unemployment and the taxpayer-funded rescue of Wall Street and big banks.
The demonstration was organized by community groups and the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor group, representing about 11 million workers. The AFL-CIO is urging Congress to create a $900 billion government jobs program and to tax securities trades and bankers' bonuses to pay for it. Business groups oppose the tax, saying it would hurt the economy.
The protesters carried signs saying, "Good Jobs Now, "Hold Banks Accountable," and "Save Our Homes." They chanted, "Main Street - Not Wall street." A few were dressed as pirates - or held cardboard caricatures of capitalists in top hats, with the faces of pigs.
Protester Teddy Aravidis, an electrician, says he has been out of work for five months. "You know, I'm a person that has a mortgage, has a family, has to live - banks are getting richer from what I see, and we're just ending up getting poorer and poorer. I just hope things are going to turn around real quick," he said.
Darwin Petrone, an operating engineer, said he has been jobless for three months. "It's terrible, probably one of the worst feelings because you lost part of your identity with your job," he said.
Lee Eck of Albany was there with other members of the painters and glaziers union from upstate New York. "This year is the worst year we've seen since the early 80s. we have upwards of 7.7 unemployment in our area, Albany, and we've seen nothing like this for years," he said.
City University English professor Paulette Henderson said her job is safe, but she was marching to stand up for others. "There's just been a huge inequality in this country for a long time, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting desperate, and the middle class is evaporating," she said.
The rally ended at a symbol of Wall Street prosperity - the bronze bull a few blocks from the American Stock Exchange. Standing next it, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka said the day had been a success. "Wall Street got the message: No more business as usual. They destroyed 11 million jobs, they're going to pay for those 11 million jobs," he said.
Earlier in the day, more than 100 protesters entered a building in midtown Manhattan where the banking company JP Morgan Chase has offices. They chanted, "Bust up big banks!" and "People Power," before police escorted them outside. They then pushed into another building lobby nearby where the Wells Fargo and Wachovia bank have offices, reportedly delivering a letter of demands before leaving.
