Florida state lawmaker indicted on felony charges related to private school

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Republican state representative in central Florida has been indicted on felony forgery charges related to her administration of a private Christian school that she helped run with her family.Carolina Amesty, 29, turned herself in to authorities at the Orange County Jail on Thursday and was booked on four felony counts. That is after a grand jury found that Amesty forged a man’s signature on a document that she notarized in 2021 while working as an administrator at her family's Central Christian Academy, according to State Attorney Andrew Bain.

Average American starts caring about their skin at this age

Americans only start taking their sun-related skincare seriously at age 26, according to new research. The poll of 2,000 U.S. adults found that before their mid-20’s, Americans aren’t taking proper care of their skin — which might be why respondents are four times as likely to get scalded by the sun than they are to use sunscreen. The survey found 79% have experienced sunburn, while only a fifth admit to using facial sunscreen (20%) or body sunscreen (21%) daily. Commissioned by Melanoma Research Alliance, the largest private nonprofit funder of melanoma research, and conducted by Talker Research, the survey also looked at the habits of different generations regarding sun protection.

The Supreme Court Just Signaled What It Will Do If the Election Is Close

The legal warfare over the 2024 election is well underway. The MAGA shenanigans of the Georgia election board have overshadowed disturbing developments in Arizona. Last week, the Supreme Court signaled it would revisit an issue it had settled over a decade ago, allowing a new Arizona law to go into effect requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Reopening the issue at the last minute and after registration has begun, the justices are fomenting a false public narrative that noncitizens are a threat to U.S. elections. This is the latest signal that the justices are in cahoots with former President Donald Trump and may be prepared to meddle in the election—unless it is decided by margins too large to tamper with.The case is Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota, where the Republican National Committee requested eleventh-hour “emergency” changes […]

Why Russia has struggled to halt Ukraine’s incursion in the Kursk region

After three weeks of fighting, Russia is still struggling to dislodge Ukrainian forces from the Kursk region, a surprisingly slow and low-key response to the first occupation of its territory since World War II.It all comes down to Russian manpower and Russian priorities.With the bulk of its military pressing offensives inside Ukraine, the Kremlin appears to lack enough reserves for now to drive out Kyiv's forces.President Vladimir Putin doesn’t seem to view the attack — or at least, give the impression that he views it — as a grave enough threat to warrant pulling troops from eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, his priority target.“Putin’s focus is on the collapse of the Ukrainian state, which he believes will automatically render any territorial control irrelevant,” wrote Tatiana Stanovaya, senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center.Putin's prioritiesMonths after launching the full-scale invasion in […]

BEIJING (Reuters) - Air China and China Southern Airlines will become the second and third Chinese carriers to fly China's homegrown COMAC C919 passenger jet when their first planes are delivered on Wednesday, state-run Chinese Central TV said.Chinese planemaker COMAC is trying to break into a passenger jet market dominated by Western manufacturers Airbus and Boeing that has been strained by aircraft shortages and a Boeing safety crisis.The C919 entered domestic service in May last year with China Eastern, which flies seven of the jets domestically.China's three big state-owned airlines have each ordered 100 C919s, and COMAC has said more than 1,000 have been ordered overall.China Southern last week said on social media platform Weibo that the first C919 would be integrated into its fleet by Wednesday.The C919 seats up to 192 people and is in a similar category as […]

STORY: :: Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng pricesits new budget EV at a little less than $17,000:: Beijing, China:: August 27, 2024:: Zhang, XPeng EV owner"As an A-class car, its price is relatively inexpensive. Actually, rather than saying it's inexpensive, I would say it's more affordable. It is equipped with various functions, which, in the past at this price range, were not available. The whole car gives me the impression that the price/performance ratio is relatively high."The MONA M03 electric hatchback coupe is Xpeng's most affordable model and will compete with other EVs priced in the 100,000-150,000 yuan ($14,035-$21,052) range, which accounts for a third of total car sales in China.There will be two versions of the MONA M03: an entry-level one without advanced autonomous driving technology available from $16,813, and the M03 Max that uses Tesla-like technology and is […]

Unusually cold storm that frosted West Coast peaks provided a hint of winter in August

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ski season is still at least several months away, but the unusually cold storm that frosted West Coast mountain peaks late last week brought a hint of winter in August.The calendar briefly skipped ahead to November as the system dropped out of the Gulf of Alaska, down through the Pacific Northwest and into California.Mount Rainier, southeast of Seattle, got a high-elevation dusting, as did central Oregon's Mt. Bachelor resort.“We were excited to see flakes flying!” Mt. Bachelor communications manager Presley Quon said Monday in an email to The Associated Press. “A nice reminder that ski season is around the corner.”Mount Shasta, the Cascade Range volcano that rises to 14,163 feet (4,317 meters) above far northern California, wore a white blanket after the storm clouds passed.The mountain's Helen Lake, which sits at 10,400 feet (3,170 meters) received […]

Greek-flagged tanker is burning after Houthi attacks, but no sign of oil spill

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Greek-flagged tanker repeatedly attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea remains ablaze but hasn't sprung a major oil leak in the waterway, a European Union naval command said Monday.The attack on the Sounion marks the most serious assault in weeks by the rebels, who continue to target shipping through the Red Sea corridor over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. The attacks have disrupted the $1 trillion in trade that typically passes through the region, as well as halting some aid shipments to conflict-ravaged Sudan and Yemen.Images published by the EU's Operation Aspides, whose mission is to protect shipping in the area, showed smoke rising from multiple points along the Sounion's deck and its bridge Sunday. Fires could be seen burning in at least nine different locations on the deck […]
