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.

Numbering moles on the right arm was observed to be a decent pointer of aggregate moles on the body. More than 10 demonstrates five times the typical danger. The study, distributed in the British Journal of Dermatology, utilized information from 3,000 twins as a part of the UK. GPs could utilize the discoveries to recognize those most at danger, it said. Melanoma is a kind of skin tumor influencing more than 13,000 individuals in the UK every year. It creates from strange moles, so the danger of being determined to have a melanoma is connected to the quantity of moles a patient has. Scientists from King's College London concentrated on a huge gathering of female twins over a time of eight years, gathering data on skin sort, spots and moles on their bodies.
Subsequent to rehashing the activity on a littler gathering of around
400 men and ladies with melanoma, they thought of a snappy and simple approach to survey the danger of skin malignancy. Females with more than seven moles on their right arm had nine times the danger of having more than 50 on their entire body. Those with more than 11 on their right arm will probably have more than 100 on their body altogether, which means they were at a higher danger of building up a melanoma. The discoveries could help GPs to recognize those with an expanded danger of building up a melanoma.
Lead author Simone Ribero, of the department of twin research and genetic epidemiology at King's, said: "The findings could have a significant impact for primary care, allowing GPs to more accurately estimate the total number of moles in a patient extremely quickly via an easily accessible body part."
Consultant dermatologist and study co-author Veronique Bataille said if a patient was worried about an abnormal mole and went to see their GP, counting moles on one arm "might ring alarm bells" and highlight those patients who should be seen by a specialist more quickly. Dr Claire Knight, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said the study findings were helpful, but added that fewer than half of melanomas develop from existing moles.
"It's important to know what's normal for your skin and to tell your doctor about any change in the size, shape, colour or feel of a mole or a normal patch of skin. "And don't just look at your arms - melanoma can develop anywhere on the body, and is most common on the trunk in men and the legs in women."
