The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have "urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond." The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70 percent of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter. #PBS

When Don Karkos fought in 1942, during WWII, he was hit with shrapnel and blinded in his right eye. While working on a raceway 64 years later, a horse head butted him in the same spot, threw him against the wall, and he woke up the next day with his vision restored.

Douglas Brent was an American Navy petty officer who was taken captive during the Vietnam War, he was considered dumb by his captors and they gave him the nickname "The Stupid". He acted like an imbecile, refusing to speak, instead he continuously hummed a song.
Throughout his imprisonment, he remained in a similar state, to the extent that the Vietnamese captors believed he had some form of cognitive impairment.
Upon his return to the United States after his release, Bent recited the names of about 256 fellow POWs who were being searched for by the US military.
Remarkably, Bent had memorized the names by associating them with the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which he had used previously to hum during his captivity.

Two boys show each other different skills, Kenya, 1962.
9-year-old Kevin from New York had come to Kenya to join his stepfather as guest of a Maasai tribe, where he and the chief’s son Dionni became close companions. Kevin wrote in his diary:
“The Maasai taught me lots of things. They are very nice people and we had no problems understanding each other. They taught me to shoot the heaviest bow I have ever seen and I taught Dionni how to play baseball and write his name. He doesn’t speak any English and I learned 11 words in Swahili.”

On November 24, 2009, a man named John Edward Jones became stuck and subsequently died in the Nutty Putty cave after being trapped inside for 28 hours.
While exploring with his brother Josh, Jones mistook a narrow tunnel for the similarly tight "Birth Canal" passageway and became stuck upside-down in an area measuring 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm), around 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance.
Jones was held in place like a hook, unable to move without causing serious harm due to the bends his body was placed in.
A large team of rescue workers came to his assistance. Still, they were unable to retrieve Jones using a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system after a pulley failed mid-extrication.
Jones ultimately suffered cardiac arrest due to the strain placed upon his body over several hours by his inverted, compressed position.
Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones.
Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access.

(January 2022) Woman is filmed carrying her pet LION through the streets after the young animal escaped in Kuwait.
This is the moment a woman carried her pet lion through the streets of Kuwait after the animal escaped from her home.
Footage from Sabahiya, south of Kuwait City, shows the owner struggling to hold onto the big cat underneath its front legs as it thrashed around.
The short clip, which was posted on Sunday, shows the young animal writhing around in its owner's arms while growling loudly.
After walking several yards, the woman, seemingly exhausted, then put the animal on the ground as she took a rest from carrying it home.
News website Al Anbaa reported on Sunday that the lion had escaped in the Sabahiya area, south of Kuwait City.
According to Al Arabiya, environmental police were called to the scene.
Officers helped the woman contain the big cat before it was returned to captivity.
Keeping exotic animals as pets is a popular phenomenon in many Gulf states, even though it is illegal, including in Kuwait.
In Dubai, a new crackdown on owning dangerous animals was launched in June 2020 following reports of a wild cat roaming The Springs community - although it later transpired that the animal caught on film was actually a house cat.
While both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have laws that ban the ownership of such pets, enforcement is lax.

I looked up Temar Boggs now & was sad to see he was given an incredibly harsh sentence of 10yrs for stealing $200. I'm not condoning armed robbery but he was still a teen in 2016 & never shot the weapon. White people doing worse get months or go unpunished nbc4i.com/news/teen-hero-who…
