Is she carrying a hatchet?
This biography quotes a description:
armed entirely in white, exept, for the head, a little ax in her hand, seated on a great black courser.
So Vullo encouraged many insurers to cut off ties with the NRA at the very moment that she was pursuing a major investigation into three companies that did business with the NRA. And she allegedly offered to shield one company from additional liability if it took further actions against the gun organization.
As Sotomayor’s opinion explains, that’s not allowed.
Perhaps because the opinion is written by Sotomayor, and not by a more right-wing justice who may be eager to use the state of New York’s blundering treatment of the NRA as an excuse to shut down legitimate enforcement actions against the gun group, the Court’s decision also includes some language ensuring that the investigation into Carry Guard remains valid.
Interesting nuance and reminder to not get carried away with punitive justice even when wielding the law against someone deserving.
Although this sounds egregious, the more I read about dentistry the less it sounds reliable in any form. The Atlantic wrote about it a while back and Ars Technica did more recently.
If anyone has found a more evidence-based dentist in the Boston area I'd be interested to hear about them.
Scalping was not in itself fatal, though it was most commonly inflicted on the gravely wounded or the dead.
Still, one of many reasons I am glad to live in the time period and country I do. Though also a reminder of how close in our history America is to genocide:
on August 8, 1722, Massachusetts put a bounty on native families, paying 100 pounds sterling for the scalps of male Indians aged 12 and over, and 50 pounds sterling for women and children.
Yes, they're for "bench dogs", which let you clamp boards against the top of your workbench. I only recently learned about them myself!
When I was drilling the test hole I wasn't thinking about how it would look to open up the two clamped boards afterwards, so it was just a fun surprise to see the shape of the inside of the hole revealed like that.
He exited the hotel at 2037 hours. At 2045 hours, his truck was observed backing into the parking space where it was later discovered. Video surveillance recordings continuously record his vehicle. Throughout the review of surveillance video spanning the evening of March 8th through the morning of March 9th, from the time the vehicle was backed into the parking space until the Charleston Fire Department gained entry to the vehicle, no other individuals were seen entering or exiting Mr. Barnett’s vehicle. At no time did anyone engage or try to make contact with Mr. Barnett.
"I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years," Gretta Pecl of the University of Tasmania told The Guardian. "[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted. I could not feel greater despair over the future."
But, reason to keep fighting:
Others found hope in the climate activism and awareness of younger generations, and in the finding that each extra tenth of a degree of warming avoided protects 140 million people from extreme temperatures.
Thanks for sharing, looks fun to try! If you want to share some process pictures that would be neat.
Did they need to engage in a fight after the man in the yard fired shots? What would have happened if they had brought in a negotiator or something? I don't know if those are viable options in this situation, but it does sound like they continued aggressively. I can't tell when the cops were killed.
