A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said. The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website. Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

Britain's reputation for tumor survival stays poorer than different nations with comparable well being frameworks, a study recommends. Distributed in the British Journal of Cancer, the examination contrasts England's survival patterns and figures for five different nations more than 15 years. Analysts say there have been relentless upgrades, yet all the more should be done to close the survival crevice. NHS England says survival figures have never been higher in the nation. Scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine thought about England's survival figures for colon, bosom, lung, ovarian, rectal and stomach growths with information from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. They took a gander at how these rates changed between 1995 to 2009. Sean Duffy, cancer chief at NHS England, said the NHS was seeing a greater volume of patients now.
He added:"We are encouraged that survival rates in some cancers
are improving faster than in other countries, showing that work for earlier diagnosis and better outcomes is having a positive impact."But the study is right to highlight the need for continued focus on earlier diagnosis and services working better together. "We will be working hard to ensure momentum on these areas is maintained as we implement the recommendations of the recent Cancer Taskforce strategy."
Prof Gordon McVie, at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, added: "There is still in the UK a feeling that cancer is fatal and some people are still too frightened to get the diagnosis.
"We need to reassure the public that the earlier you get a diagnosis the much higher a chance you are going to be cured."
