Twenty-two people, including children, were killed and dozens injured when a man detonated a bomb at a pop concert by US star Ariana Grande, in Britain's deadliest terror attack in 12 years.
Screaming fans, many of them teens, fled the venue in panic after the bomb blast at the end of the concert in the northern English city of Manchester on Monday evening.
Stand above the rushing currents of Gullfoss, or “Golden Falls,” and you’ll come to understand why Sigríður Tómasdóttir fought so hard to protect one of Iceland’s most iconic views. The churning wonder drops about 105 feet at a couple of levels within a rocky, otherworldly canyon before it unleashes a mesmerizing cloud of mist. But some speculators once saw something else here: a golden opportunity to tap the power of Gullfoss for energy.
Erie police are investigating the deaths of a man, woman and child found at a residence in the Boulder County side of the town on Saturday morning.
Officers with the department responded to a report of a possible dead person at 1973 Gordon Court shortly before 11:30 a.m. and found the three bodies, according to a news release.
Not long ago, a small, domestic legal dispute in the oceanside community of Boynton Beach, Florida, became the unexpected focal point of a nationwide campaign to shield children from what many consider an unnecessary harm. What form of child abuse was the mother of 4-year-old Chase Nebus-Hironimus — and the legions of “Saving Chase” activists — trying to protect the boy from? His father’s desire to have him circumcised.
Salvatore Iaconesi was studying for his Ph.D. in robotic engineering when he “had a little crisis.” The technology behind everything he designed — from toys to self-assembling robots to intelligent control systems — was being used, directly or indirectly, to kill people, he realized. But “that’s robotics,” he sighs, decrying the presence of the military in both initiating and poaching any technological development in the sector. It was the kind of protest musing of an artist, which is indeed his chosen profession today. But there’s not a paintbrush in sight: Iaconesi’s art is about creating unique demonstrations of our increasingly digital lives.
In the summer between primary and secondary school, at the age of 11, I discovered rock music. Nirvana, to be exact.
It sounded like rockets going off in my brain, and it was perfect and changed me almost instantly. I decided to dye my hair red with henna and become a vegetarian. At the time, 1993, everyone liked rave music (or pretended to), wore Reebok Classics and had French crops. Come September, I was a tiny, half-heeb rock kid in Doc Martens, a new transplant to a tough all-boys state school in South London, and I did not do well.
The romantic woo: the flowers, the dinner, the compliments. Maybe you hold the door open. Maybe you have perfected some Casanova moves in the boudoir that makes your lover swoon. But if you really want to leave a lasting impression, the most important thing may be what you do immediately after sex.
We’re not saying you’re the kind of cad who loves and runs. You just might have been better trained in foreplay than the after play. And science is telling us the denouement and subsequent cool-down matter.
