fb001 fb777 NEW YORK — The man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, a prosecutor said Tuesday at his arraignment on murder charges. Sebastian Zapeta, 33, who federal immigration officials said is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally, was not required to enter a plea and did not speak at the hearing in Brooklyn criminal court. Zapeta, wearing a white jumpsuit over a weathered black hooded sweatshirt, will remain jailed and is due back in court on Friday. His lawyer did not ask for bail. Zapeta is charged with two counts of murder, accusing him of intentionally killing the woman and killing her while committing arson. He is also charged with one count of arson. The top charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez called the attack a “gruesome and senseless act of violence” and said it would be “met with the most serious consequences.” The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on an F train that was stopped at the Coney Island station. Police said Tuesday the victim’s identification is still pending. Authorities say Zapeta approached the woman, who may have been sleeping in the train, and set her clothing on fire with a lighter. Zapeta then fanned the flames with a shirt, engulfing her in fire, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said in court Tuesday. Zapeta then sat on a bench on the subway platform and watched, police said. According to Rottenberg, Zapeta told detectives that he didn’t know what happened but identified himself in images of the attack. Zapeta’s lawyer, Ed Friedman, did not speak to reporters after the arraignment. Video on social media appears to show some people looking on from the platform and at least one police officer walking by while the woman is on fire inside the train. NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Gulotta said Sunday that several officers responded to the fire and one stayed to keep the crime scene “the way it’s supposed to be” while the others went to get fire extinguishers and transit workers. “Officers who were on patrol on an upper level of that station smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate. What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. They eventually put the fire out, but “unfortunately, it was too late,” Tisch said, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Zapeta was taken into custody Sunday afternoon while riding a train on the same subway line after teenagers recognized him from images circulated by the police. A Brooklyn address for Zapeta released by police matches a shelter that provides housing and substance abuse support. The shelter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Federal immigration officials said Zapeta was deported in 2018 but later reentered the U.S. illegally. The crime deepened a growing sense of unease among some New Yorkers about the safety of the subway system, amplified by graphic video of the attack that ricocheted across social media. Overall, crime is down in the transit system compared to last year. Major felonies declined 6% between January and November compared to the same time period last year, according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But murders are up, with nine killings this year through November compared to five during the same period last year. Earlier this month, a Manhattan jury acquitted former Marine Daniel Penny in the chokehold death last year of an agitated subway rider. The case became a flashpoint in debates over safety, homelessness and mental illness on the system. Policing the subway is difficult, given the vast network of trains moving between 472 stations. Each stop contains multiple entry points and, in many stations, multiple floors and platforms.

Nagpur: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis launched a scathing attack on Congress on Tuesday, demanding an apology from the grand old party for purportedly circulating an edited video of Union home minister Amit Shah on his alleged remarks on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Briefing reporters after his arrival in the city, he accused the Opposition of misleading people and wasting Parliament's time with baseless controversies. Fadnavis emphasised Prime Minister Narendra Modi exposed Congress during his Parliament speech, highlighting its history of opposing the architect of the Constitution. "Congress never allowed Babasaheb Ambedkar to win elections. They even denied land for his memorial at Indu Mills for several years. It was only after Modi became PM and I took over as Maharashtra chief minister, we allocated land of Rs 2,000 crore for the memorial," he said. The senior BJP leader further added that BJP govt preserved Ambedkar's legacy by acquiring his London residence and turning it into a memorial to honour his contributions. Fadnavis accused Congress of hypocrisy and theatrics to cover up its failures. Responding to NCP MP Supriya Sule's statement that Maharashtra is no longer safe, the CM dismissed the claim as baseless and politically motivated. "Maharashtra is one of the safest states in the country. Using isolated incidents to create fear and incite division is irresponsible. The opposition is trying to exploit such situations to split society along caste lines," he asserted. Fadnavis reassured citizens that law enforcement agencies are fully equipped to maintain peace across the state. Addressing concerns over drought-like conditions and crop damage, Fadnavis stated the govt has standing orders in place to handle such exigencies. "We will take decisions based on crop damage assessments and bring relief to affected farmers," he said. He acknowledged the urgency of the situation and assured farmers that financial aid and support measures would be implemented without delay. Fadnavis also spoke about appointment of Beed's guardian minister, stating the decision would be taken jointly with his deputies Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde. He made it clear that law and order would remain a top priority in Beed. "No one's dominance or high-handedness will be tolerated in Beed. We are committed to maintaining fairness and discipline," Fadnavis warned. The CM reiterated that BJP is focused on governance and fulfilling development promises, undeterred by the Opposition's attempts to distract from real issues. Last week, Congress leader and Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala demanded the immediate removal of Union home minister Amit Shah from the Cabinet over his controversial remarks on Ambedkar in Parliament.

Today, the production of polystyrene produces more than 12.5 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, and 15 million metric tonnes are produced every year, with a less than 1% recycle rate. In 2016, Tetra Pak was the first company in the food packaging industry to have its climate impact reduction targets approved by the Science-Based Targets (SBT) initiative. One year later, in 2017, Tetra Pak had a 13% reduction in its overall climate impact despite a 19% increase in packages sold. The biodegradable packaging market was valued at $473.74 B in 2023 and is projected to reach more than $800 B by 2032. Scaling biodegradable packaging A Ukrainian startup, S.Lab , has been working to scale biodegradable packaging. The company was founded in 2021, but with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company moved its production facilities to Málaga, Spain. Julia Bialetska , CEO and co-founder of S.Lab said they chose this area because the region is striving to become climate-neutral by 2030, actively investing in sustainability, fostering the development of related businesses, and serving as a convenient logistics hub. Bialetska says Spain is an agricultural country with a lot of agricultural waste, including hemp and linen, which the company uses in its production. The local government also provided S.Lab with a production premise for five years. In 2024, the company launched its first fully automated production line in Coín, with a capacity of up to 30,000 units per month. Bialetska says this is a full production cycle: from purchasing waste from local farmers within a radius of 50 km from the production site to producing the packaging itself. Bialetska told Forbes that scalable biodegradable packaging solutions can be adapted for large-scale production to meet volume demands while adhering to environmental regulations and consumer preferences. "These solutions must balance sustainability with functionality, ensuring no features are compromised while remaining safe for the environment," said Bialetska. From the forest and the fields to the lab S.Labs leaned on nature when it developed its approach to biodegradable packaging using mycelium and agricultural waste. "We borrowed the natural process of mycelium growth from nature as the baseline of our process," said Bialetska. "Mycelium is a network of mushroom roots, and it is rapidly growing, creating long white nets that bind anything that they grow on." "This mechanic could be compared to a spider that creates nets and twists them around something nutritious," she added. Bialetska says that, in their case, agricultural waste acts as a skeleton/matrix for the material, and mycelium is a glue that binds all the particles together. "The main challenge was to transfer this process from the forest to the lab and then from the lab to the proper continuous manufacturing," said Bialetska. "For that, we developed our own hardware technology." Agricultural waste of hemp stems and linen France cultivates the largest hemp crop in Europe, but Spain has a history of growing hemp for industrial uses, and today, hemp is grown across the Iberian peninsula. "Normally, stems remain on the fields after the harvest or are thrown away after the processing as there is no use of this part of the plant," said Bialetska. "So instead of throwing them away, we take those stems and transform them into packaging that afterwards can be returned to nature and will fully biodegrade in 30 days in the soil." Hardware for continuous manufacturing S.Lab filed two European Union patents in 2024 for its continuous sterilization process and forming and shaping robot. Three new patents are in progress and are expected by Q4 2025. The company has several active packaging pilots with L'oreal, JTI, and Nespresso and is an approved supplier with L'oreal. “Our continuous, chemical-free sterilization method and innovative robotic forming mechanism of mycelium-based packaging solve the main problem related to bio-based solutions, which is scalability,” said Bialetska. Bialetska added that while other companies may offer solutions using materials like mycelium or agricultural waste, they can struggle to meet industrial-scale demands and rarely disclose their capacities. "This is why our production numbers matter, they demonstrate our readiness and reliability, making us a viable partner for industries transitioning to sustainable packaging at scale,” she said. "Our entire manufacturing process is controlled through advanced robotics, sensors, and computer vision, ensuring precision and reducing human error through real-time data monitoring and analysis.” Bialetska says their production line can also adapt to diverse client needs, including custom designs and sizes, without adding to production costs. "Our manufacturing technology is the first to produce mycelium-based packaging with precise 90° angles, mirroring the functionality of conventional packaging, which provides a lot of possibilities for packaging for various sectors," she added. S.Lab’s tech and production process can achieve up to three times the energy efficiency of traditional EPS production. "It is a closed-loop, energy, and water-efficient production, and this results in 90% lower CO2 emissions and 90% less water usage than polystyrene production," said Bialetska. Innovation at CES 2025 Visitors to the S.Lab stand (Venetian Expo, Eureka Park, Hall G—62659) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2025 will be able to see S.Lab's production line prototype and mini-factory, which will also include a number of biodegradable packaging samples. Their mini-factory prototype is a self-contained 40-foot container featuring a built-in production line for on-site packaging production at customers' facilities. "By providing mini production lines, we offer clients sustainable packaging produced at their own premises without disrupting their existing processes," said Bialetska.What's Going On With New Horizon Stock Monday?

By Karen Garcia, Los Angeles Times A recent study that recommended toxic chemicals in black plastic products be immediately thrown away included a math error that significantly overstated the risks of contamination, but its authors are standing by their conclusions and warn against using such products. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Chemosphere , experts from the nonprofit Toxic-Free Future said they detected flame retardants and other toxic chemicals in 85% of 203 items made of black plastic including kitchen utensils , take-out containers, children’s toys and hair accessories. The study initially said the potential exposure to chemicals found in one of the kitchen utensils approached the minimum levels the Environmental Protection Agency deemed a health risk. But in an update to the study, the authors say they made an error in their calculations and the real levels were “an order of magnitude lower” than the EPA’s thresholds. The error was discovered by Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society in Canada. In a blog post, Schwarcz explained that the Toxin-Free Future scientists miscalculated the lower end of what the EPA considered a health risk through a multiplication error. Instead of humans being potentially exposed to a dose of toxic chemicals in black plastic utensils near the minimum level that the EPA deems a health risk, it’s actually about one-tenth of that. Though Schwarcz said the risks outlined in the study aren’t enough for him to discard his black plastic kitchen items if he had them, he agreed with the authors that flame retardants shouldn’t be in these products in the first place. “The math error does not impact the study’s findings, conclusions or recommendations,” said Megan Liu, a co-author of the study who is the science and policy manager for Toxic-Free Future . She added that any traces of flame retardants or toxic chemicals in cooking utensils should be concerning for the public. Flame retardants are getting into commonly used items because black-colored products are being made from recycled electronic waste, such as discarded television sets and computers, that frequently contain the additives. When they’re heated, the flame retardants and other toxic chemicals can migrate out. If you’re wondering whether your old black plastic spoon or other utensils are a part of this group, Liu shared some more guidance. It’s nearly impossible to know whether a black plastic product is contaminated. That’s because these products that include recycled e-waste don’t disclose a detailed list of all ingredients and contaminants in the product. Liu said it’s also unclear how many types of flame retardants are in these black plastic products. Some of the products that researchers tested in this recent study “had up to nine different harmful chemicals and harmful flame retardants in them,” she said. Anytime you’re looking for the type of recycled plastic a product is made of you’re going to look for a number within the chasing arrows (that form a triangle) logo. Recycling symbols are numbered 1 to 7 and we commonly associate the numbers with what we can toss in our blue recycling bins. The 1 through 7 numbers stand for, respectively, polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or Styrofoam, and miscellaneous plastics (including polycarbonate, polylactide, acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene, styrene, fiberglass and nylon). The study found higher levels of toxic flame retardants in polystyrene plastic, which is labeled with the number 6, said Liu. There isn’t a definitively timeline of when recycled electronic-waste started to be incorporated into black plastic products specifically, but e-waste started to get recycled in the early 2000s, Liu said. The way computers, cellphones, stereos, printers and copiers were being disposed of previously was to simply add them to a landfill without reusing salvageable parts. But as the National Conference of State Legislatures notes, electronics production required a significant amount of resources that could be recovered through recycling. Recovering resources such as metals, plastics and glass through recycling used a fraction of the energy needed to mine new materials. However, the study pointed out that flame retardants and other chemical contaminates have been detected in and near e-waste recycling facilities, in indoor air and dust at formal e-waste recycling facilities in Canada, China, Spain and the U.S. It also noted contamination in soil samples surrounding e-waste recycling sites in China and Vietnam.

In Georgia Tech's final nonconference contest, the Yellow Jackets host Alabama A&M in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon. Georgia Tech (5-7) has yet to beat a power conference team this season, earning wins over West Georgia, Texas Southern, Charleston Southern, Central Arkansas and UMBC. Losers in four of their last five games, the Yellow Jackets were stomped at home last time out by then-No. 5 Duke, extending a concerning trend against high-major opponents this season. In its six meetings with power conference teams, Georgia Tech has been outscored by an average of 14.3 points per game. Making matters worse for head coach Damon Stoudamire's team has been the absences of Kowacie Reeves Jr. (ankle) and Luke O'Brien (foot). Reeves, who is averaging 9.3 points in six games, hasn't played since Nov. 27, while O'Brien (6.4 ppg, 4.4 rebounds per game) didn't play in the loss to Duke. "Kowacie and Luke are both seniors, they've both got experience, but you can't really dwell on it," Stoudamire said. "They're injured but I'm not going to allow that to be an excuse. I'm not going to go down that path. They're missed, obviously, but you have be a next-man-up team at times." Lance Terry leads the team with 14.8 points per game, followed by Baye Ndongo's 13.0 and Naithan George's 10.4. Saturday marks Alabama A&M's last nonconference game before SWAC play begins Jan. 4 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Bulldogs (4-8) have dropped their last five games since a Nov. 23 win over Coastal Carolina. Led by AC Bryant's 13.1 points per game and Chad Moodie's 12.6, Alabama A&M is vying for what would be a monumental victory. "We're doing some things now that are going to make the other team prepare," Bulldogs coach Otis Hughley Jr. said. "And you know that you're coming out of a contest when you play us." Georgia Tech is 6-0 all-time against the Bulldogs, including a 70-49 win on Dec. 9, 2023. --Field Level MediaIs it safe to eat turkey this Thanksgiving amid bird flu outbreak?

NEW DELHI: Emphasising on the use of technology in implementation of the new criminal laws, Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said it should enable generation of alerts for all criminal cases at pre-defined stages and timelines - right from registration to disposal - for the benefit of victims and complainants. Chairing a review meeting on implementation of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam with National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) brass, Shah suggested alerts for investigation officers and senior officers as per pre-defined timelines, so as to expedite the probe process. The review meet - attended by senior officials of home ministry, NCRB and National Informatics Centre - took stock of the implementation of integration of various software and databases pertaining to investigation, prosecution, forensics and courts at all-India level. These include the crime and criminal tracking network and systems (CCTNS), national automated fingerprint identification system, prisons, courts, prosecution and forensics with the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) 2.0. Shah directed NCRB to facilitate complete implementation of new criminal laws in ICJS 2.0, besides emphasising on usage of apps like eSakshya, Nyaya Shruti, eSign and eSummons in every state and UT. In a separate meeting on Tuesday, Shah also reviewed the implementation of new criminal laws in Uttarakhand, with the state chief secretary and DGP, in the presence of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami. Asking Dhami to fully implement the laws - which he said are becoming "protectors of civil rights" and the basis of "ease of justice" - as soon as possible, he emphasised on the need to fill the gaps in technology and other areas for their 100% rollout.
