Ohio authorities say that at least 14 people have been hospitalized after a roof collapsed in Columbus Saturday evening.

The collapse happened at a home near the campus of Ohio State University.

The roof was not designed to support that amount of people, the fire chief said.

US companies work to ramp up domestic rare earth manufacturing

China has dominated the Rare Earth Element supply chain for decades. The U.S. is working to build out its own facilities, using more environmentally friendly manufacturing.

We take waste magnetic material directly into magnet manufacturing and deliver a finished product, which is really what the market needs," Dunn said. THE REAL DANGER OF DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA Less than 1% of the world’s Rare Earth Elements are recycled, with most ending up in landfills. "Most of this material is discarded and really not recovered," Dunn said. "It's a little bit tough to handle. They exist in lower weight percent...

Some versions of the billboards advertised California's easily obtainable abortions b...
