As National Book Award winner Nathaniel Philbrick amply demonstrates in “Sea of Glory,” the Ex. Ex., as it was called, was a huge success. It recorded hundreds of new plant and animal species. It charted vast sections of the Pacific Ocean and the American Northwest. Most important, the Ex. Ex. discovered and charted a big chunk of the Antarctic landmass. The accomplishments of the four-year voyage put it in a class with the Lewis and Clark expedition....
“HHS closely monitors referral numbers adjusting bed capacity to respond to changing levels of need,” department spokesperson Evelyn Stauffer said in a written statement. “As such, today we are announcing that all [unaccompanied migrant children] sheltered in the Homestead facility have either been reunified with an appropriate sponsor or transferred to a state-licensed facility within the ORR network of care providers as of August 3, 2019.” Homestead, a temporary influx shelter, is the only facility for unaccompanied child migrants run by a for-profit entity (contracting with the federal government to provide custodial services) and is the largest such facility in the country for children....
It could be something simple like, “Good morning!” or something a little more flirty like, “Hey beautiful. Good morning. ” Even if you haven’t talked much during the day, if a guy texts you, “Hey, hope you had a great day. Talk to you tomorrow,” it means he just couldn’t rest until he talked to you. If he sends you a meme that is specific to your sense of humor, it means he saw it and immediately thought of you....
It was three weeks before Halloween instead of two weeks after Christmas. The fairways were not 80 yards wide. And it wasn't a tropical 80 degrees. Bryce Molder hit the opening tee shot at CordeValle in the Frys.com Open, marking the first time the PGA Tour has gone to a wraparound season after nearly a century of starting in January. The season had opened at Kapalua on the west end of Maui since 1999 with its generous fairways and Pacific wind....

Amakhosi have managed to collect 14 points from their opening 10 league matches; a return which could make it difficult for them to win the title. Previously, coaches set a target of 60 points in order to stand any chance of winning the league, and Chiefs have already fallen behind that with at least six points. However, Komphela is not worried at all, because Chiefs are not the only team struggling....

NAFLD is commonly associated with obesity and diabetes, and it can progress if these conditions are not well controlled or if they are not treated. Progression leads to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is a type of liver failure that causes fatigue and potentially life-threatening metabolic problems. There is no medication that can cure NAFLD or NASH, and controlling the associated risk factors is a vital part of minimizing future liver damage....
In the end, it worked. Last week a Miami jury convicted Panama’s former “Maximum Leader” of helping the world’s most notorious drug cartel smuggle cocaine into the United States from 1981 to 1986. Noriega was found guilty on eight of 10 counts, including racketeering, conspiracy, distribution and money laundering. The first foreign leader to be convicted of violating U.S. law, Noriega now faces up to 120 years in prison. Yet the seven-month trial focused attention on the questionable tactics prosecutors sometimes use to nail high-profile defendants like Noriega....

Phil Berger, the GOP state Senate Leader, said this week that he and the bill’s other supporters hope to prevent the teaching of critical race theory, or their perception of the concept. The theory is focused on the idea that systemic racism preserves the power of white people in society, AP reported. “We don’t want to indoctrinate folks in what I think is the core of critical race theory, which is that race is determinative of whether or not someone is going to be successful, that race is determinative of all matter of things that happen in society and that past discrimination justifies current discrimination,” Berger said....

“We’ve heard loud and clear from some students and staff for whom face masks are problematic,” Cathy Moore, the Wake County schools superintendent said, according to a report by WRAL. “We want to make sure that whatever we put in place maintains health and safety but takes care of the needs of the folks that are in our buildings.” Wake County has yet to decide whether they will require face masks will be used in the classrooms....
On its face, the United States and the European Union (EU) have taken extraordinary measures to ensure the Russian government is feeling the pain for invading a neighbor. The sanctions are partly designed to be an accountability mechanism, a message to Putin and other would-be provokers that an unjustified war of aggression will have political and economic consequences. But the penalties are also crafted to make it more difficult for the Kremlin to finance its military campaign....
This comes as a previously assumed to be extinct species of cockroach has been found, marking another example of the longevity and survivability of the hardy creatures. The wingless wood-eating cockroach specimen was found on Lord Howe Island in Australia, last having been seen more than 80 years ago. They were thought to have become extinct due to the introduction of rats to the island. There are about 4,600 species of cockroaches on Earth, many of which are known as pests in domestic and agricultural settings....
Quindel’s findings put the UPS confrontation–and Carey’s role in it–in a new light. She decided to void the election, it turns out, almost immediately after the Teamsters went on strike, but delayed her announcement for fear of affecting the on- going negotiations. David Helfert, a spokesman for the Federal Mediation Service, believes the news would have been a ““bombshell’’ if it had gone public, possibly putting the union in a much weaker position....
