NEW: Houston man who was born on a plantation says his one wish is to get a birth certificate.
94-year-old James Dorsey says he started working on a plantation at age 8 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
When he became an adult, Dorsey says he began to have difficulty proving who he was.
"I went to the courthouse. I went to the school board. They were over everything, all the schools and plantations, what the school was on, they were over everything," he said.
"What does a birth certificate mean for me? I couldn't even pronounce what it would mean."
A Mark 7 nuclear gravity bomb explodes deep underwater, creating a column of water vapor more than half a mile high.
The test (code name: Wahoo), took place on May 16, 1958 near Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
Off the coast of Shanghai, engineers have brought online what is being described as the worldβs first underwater data centre powered by wind energy. Located roughly 10 metres beneath the surface in the Lingang Special Zone, the facility uses the surrounding ocean as a natural cooling system.
The project has been developed through a collaboration between HiCloud Technology and China Communications Construction, with an estimated investment of around $236 million and an initial capacity of 24 megawatts.
The concept is straightforward but ambitious. Data centres produce vast amounts of heat, and on land a significant portion of their energy is often spent on cooling systems, sometimes accounting for up to half of total electricity use. By placing servers underwater, this design allows seawater to absorb heat more efficiently, reducing cooling energy demand to under 10 percent.
In addition, the site is intended to operate primarily on offshore wind power. Reports from Chinese media suggest it could run on more than 95 percent renewable electricity, reduce overall energy use by about 22.8 percent, remove the need for freshwater in cooling, and cut land use by over 90 percent compared with conventional facilities on land.
This development comes as the rapid expansion of AI increases global demand for computing power, placing greater strain on electricity networks, water resources, and available land. Every AI system, from chatbots to image generators, depends on large-scale data centres operating continuously.
However, the approach also raises important uncertainties. Researchers still need to evaluate long-term durability underwater, how repairs and maintenance can be carried out, and whether waste heat may have unintended effects on marine ecosystems.

Today at Mother Emanuel AME Church, they begin the day of remembrance for the Emanuel Nine with a noon prayer service. For more on what the church is doing throughout the evening, click here: https://t.co/0XabS3vhAb
On June 17, 2015, nine innocent lives were taken during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC. Eleven years later, we pause to honor the lives, legacies, and faith of the #Emanuel9. Their lives represented service, education, faith, family, and community. ππΎ
11 years ago todayβ¦. We remember!!! Remembering and honoring the Emanuel 9 and the survivors!!! Prayers continue for the families, Emanuel A.M.E. Church family, and our communities!!!βͺοΈππΎποΈβ€οΈ
