[SlayNews] A 38-year-old man, who had been arrested on several counts of molesting young children, has been found dead in a San Diego jail cell, according to authorities.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office revealed that deputies found Majid Arif Almajid unresponsive in his bunk.
His body was found in a cell at the George Bailey Detention Facility at around 11:15 a.m. Sunday.
Deputies and jail medical staff attempted to revive Almajid, as did CAL FIRE paramedics, officials said.
A man threatening residents inside a church in Florida was shot and killed by deputies after "less-lethal options were ineffective" and the man "charged at deputies," according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO).
The deputy-involved shooting happened around 2:40 a.m. Tuesday at the Divine Mercy Prayer Center in Plant City, HCSO said in a press release. Body camera footage from the department shows the man walking behind a wrought-iron fence while growling at the responding deputies. The sheriff's office said the suspect refused to obey commands to drop a sharp object he was carrying. That object was a railroad spike, according to FOX 13 Tampa Bay.
Bodycam footage shows the suspect kicking open the metal fence and lunging at the deputies. At that time, deputies attempted to maintain a safe distance, but the man continued towards them. A BolaWrap, a tool used to restrain a person without harming them, and a Taser were both deployed in failed attempts to stop the unidentified man.
"Our deputies showed extraordinary professionalism and exhausted every less lethal option to preserve life before this fatal outcome," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. "Their actions today serve as a reflection of the extensive training our deputies undergo and is a testament to the tools they have available to serve and protect the community."
HCSO said deputies fired at the suspect, fearing for their lives. After they shot him, deputies immediately tried lifesaving efforts, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
[Garden & Gun] "Like snowflakes, no two waterfalls are alike," says Dr. Gregory Plumb, a retired professor of cartography and geology, whose third book on the subject, Waterfall Atlas of the United States, is set to hit shelves September 1. "There’s a huge variety of forms. Some are powerful, others graceful." The Oklahoma-based writer was a child when he bought his first atlas after a visit to Michigan’s Tahquamenon Falls and started mapping out and researching his own waterfall bucket list, which, after grad school, culminated in a professional side gig enabling others to seek out and enjoy these wet and wild spaces. He published a Waterfall Lover’s Guide to the Pacific Northwest and Waterfalls of Tennessee before compiling this latest comprehensive tome.
And because the Southern summer heat means we need little to no excuse to seek out the water, even if just to feel a chilly mist on our faces for a few minutes, we turned to Plumb to help us create a Southern waterfall primer. The resulting list features twelve of his favorite block, plunge, horsetail, punchbowl, and multi-step waterfalls around the region, from heavy-hitting cataracts to under-the-radar stunners. Before you hit the trail, though, Plumb advises checking with local guides and outfitters to check flow rates, as water volume can fluctuate throughout the year.

[Regnum] A large ejection of mass directed towards the Earth was recorded on the Sun. It probably became the largest in the current May surge of activity, the joint laboratory of solar astronomy of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported on May 8.
The solar mass ejection was simultaneously recorded by X-ray monitors and direct observations from space coronagraphs. It was preceded by a double solar flare. The first was observed at about five, the second at about eight in the morning Moscow time.
“Both flares had a score around X1. Solar matter, apparently, was ejected during the second explosion,” the laboratory noted.
Solar masses are expected to reach Earth on May 11. They can cause magnetic storms with a power of G2-G3 - medium to strong.
Experts recalled that the Sun has the greatest impact on the Earth when it ejects masses. Possessing enormous kinetic energy, they cause a direct blow to the Earth's magnetic field. Solar flares are assigned one of five classes - A, B, C, M or X - depending on the power of the X-ray emission.
As Regnum reported, in April, the head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sergei Bogachev, said that in the southern hemisphere of the Sun, on the side facing the Earth, there was an accumulation of flare energy. In such cases, powerful outbreaks occur. Previously, the Sun sharply increased its activity at the end of March, when scientists recorded one of the largest flares in the last 20 years.
On May 2, experts recorded the third strongest magnetic storm since the beginning of 2024. During the night and morning of May 4, five powerful flares occurred on the Sun.
According to Valery Shematovich, a leading researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, several strong storms occurred on the Sun at the end of April - beginning of May, accompanied by emissions of clouds of solar plasma. This is what can explain the appearance of the aurora over the regions of Central Russia.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] France, a nation so famous for its lovers that it has a kiss named after it, needs help making babies.
That's according to President Emmanuel Macron, who has announced a sweeping series of measures to address what he called a 'scourge' of infertility in his country.
These include an offer of a free 'fertility check-up' to all 18 to 25-year-olds, both male and female.
In an interview with magazine Elle, he also mentioned a 'campaign' to help women preserve their fertility if they want to have children later in life, like egg freezing, as well as a national research project into infertility.
Mr Macron's campaign, which he hinted at in January when he called for a 'demographic rearmament', comes despite France having one of the highest birth rates in Western Europe.

Mr Macron hinted people would be reimbursed by state health insurance, so they could get a 'establish a complete assessment'.
This is thought to include semen analysis and ovarian reserve.
He said: 'We are going to organise campaigns in favour of oocyte self-preservation for women who want to have children later in life.'
France's fertility rate, a national measure of the average number of live births per woman, stands at 1.8, significantly above the UK's which sits at 1.5, according to the latest UN-backed data.
Both figures are below what scientists call the 'fertility replacement level' of 2.1 – the amount needed for a population to replace one generation with the next.
Mr Macron hasn't set a specific goal for his plan to boost France's birth rates, instead stating he wanted the nation to have a 'dynamic birth rate'.
He also told Elle that if French people were able to have as many children as they wanted, the nation's birth rate would 2.3, but he didn't state this was the objective of his campaign.
France's fertility rate of 1.8 is the lowest the country has recorded since shortly after the end of WWII.
In 1950 the figure stood at an average of three live births per woman.
Experts, and even celebrities like Elon Musk, have been warning about the global threat of underpopulation for years.
Earlier this year scientists warned 75 per cent of countries would face this demographic problem by 2050.
They warned the problem is particularly dire in developed Western nations and countries like the UK could become reliant on immigration to keep their societies and economies running.
Three in four countries face the threat of 'underpopulation' by 2050 because of the world's plummeting birth rates, shock research warned today.
By 2100 this could rise to 97 per cent of all nations, in what experts have described as a 'staggering social change'.
Powerhouses such as Britain and the US will have to become reliant on immigration to avoid the 'immense' consequences the situation threatens, the study in the respected medical journal The Lancet concluded.
Fecundity follows social conditions. I can’t imagine France’s birth rate — or England’s, or anywhere else in Europe’s — would improve until law and order, on one hand, and a dynamic economy, on the other are restored to something like what was seen during Edwardian times. What the Europeans would call liberal, and we Americans call libertarian, mostly meaning small government.

I think the imported muzz are reliable Joe votes. I suspect most of the tuition people will either be sleeping late, getting coffee or just too baked to vote.

French, the same folks that brought you the birth control pill
[Red State] On Wednesday, the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic took to X/Twitter to present their demand for unredacted documents hinting that the COVID-19 virus may have had its origin in a leak from a Chinese virology lab.

Seems like they should have more than that dug up. As disappointing as a $20 gift card to Subway for your birthday- not that I got a present that good.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
