[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Serves her right. It’s that callous lack of judgement, rather than the very occasional criminal in uniform, that give good police a bad reputation.

[Hot Air] In June, the FDA approved COVID vaccines for children ages six months through five years. For a variety of reasons, many analysts predicted that participation rates for these age groups would be significantly lower than for the rest of the population. But the vaccines began being shipped out to pediatricians and clinics around the country anyway. Those predictions turned out to be more than a little prescient.
The Boston Globe reports this week that doctors are throwing out vials of vaccine at an alarming rate due to the storage and usage requirements for the Pfizer doses. Massachusetts has one of the highest vaccination rates for young children in the country, but that rate is still barely in double digits. The national figures are considerably lower still.

[Reuters] WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - A group of 23 state attorneys general led by Florida told a federal court on Monday that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lacks the legal authority to impose a nationwide transportation mask mandate to address COVID-19.
[Garowe] Æthiopian security forces have killed 333 suspected Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) rebels in a recent security operation, an Æthiopian official said.
Speaking to local media outlets on Saturday, State Minister of Government Communications Service Selamawit Kassa said the security operation which started on July 23 and ended on July 29 also resulted in the arrest of 671 suspected OLA operatives.
Kassa also said scores of firearms and radio communication systems were confiscated during the military operation.
Æthiopian security forces also destroyed 69 warehouses that were being used by the rebel group to store supplies, she further said.
The OLA is a breakaway armed faction of the ex-rebel group, Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). In May 2021, the Æthiopian parliament voted to designate the OLA as a terrorist group.

My sister once wrangled ostriches at the Baltimore zoo. The trick is to hold a straw broom up in the air and slam the bird while watching for its kicks. After a few "pecks" to the head with a broom it gets the message that you are a "bigger bird" and backs off.

[REGNUM] Serbia should work hard to internationalize the topic of genocide against Serbs. This was stated by the director of the Museum of Genocide Victims (Belgrade), historian Dejan Ristic .
“Rare peoples to whom history in the 20th century determined such a fate - to survive the genocide. These are Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and Armenians. Therefore, these peoples have a need (but they are also obliged) to pass on their historical experience. They must translate this experience into a universal plane so that this never happens to anyone again,” Ristic told the Tanyug agency.
According to him, the Serbs should make the topic of the genocide of their people in World War II on the territory of the entire Independent Croatian State an international theme.
Recall that according to the data of a special commission of the Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church, only in 1941 and the first half of 1942, 800,000 Serbs were killed by the Croatian Ustaše, 300,000 were expelled to Serbia, 240,000 were converted to Catholicism.
[REGNUM] The risk of a new conflict between breakaway Kosovo and Serbia is high. This was stated by the Prime Minister of the separatist Kosovo Albin Kurti on August 8.
“I would not say that the risk is extremely high, since here (in Kosovo and Metohija - IA REGNUM ) we have a NATO contingent, but in any case it is high. Kosovo is a democracy with autocracy at its borders , ”Kurti said in an interview with the Italian publication Respublika.
According to Kurti, before Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, the risk was low, but then the situation changed.
“If we have a second episode, for example, in Transnistria, then the likelihood of a third hotbed of conflict in the Western Balkans, especially in Kosovo, will increase significantly,” Kurti believes.
Recall that earlier an expert on terrorism and security , Dzhevad Galiyashevich , said that large volumes of weapons and military equipment that European countries donate to Ukraine are being redirected by the United States to separatist Kosovo and Albania.

Aside from their military use, the hope is that the machines could potentially be of use during emergency situations and inspections at industrial sites.
On its website, Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics says: 'Our goal is to make our Q-UGVs an indispensable tool and continuously push the limits to improve its ability to walk, run, crawl, climb and eventually swim in complex environments that our customers must operate in, day in and day out.
'Ultimately, our robot is made to keep our warfighters, workers and K9s out of harm’s way.'
Ah, like Search and Rescue.
At the US Army trade show last October, one of the robot dogs was armed with a 6.5 mm Creedmoor sniper rifle capable of precisely hitting targets from 3,940 feet away.

You would need to collect about 75 average lightning bolts a year to get the 11,000 kWh (Eia.Gov) used to power a typical US 3/2 home.
OWN A EV ?
At a typical 3.3 miles per kWh, driving 150 miles per week, that's about 2,363.6 kWh a year. So add another 15 to 20 lighting bolts you'll need.
