CBC News published this video item, entitled “Titan sub built by ‘MacGyver-ing’ off-the-shelf parts: journalist” – below is their description. CBS News correspondent David Pogue says OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush seemed to have a ‘swashbuckling’ attitude toward safety standards in building his Titan submersible. ‘There are a lot of rules out there that didn’t make engineering sense to me,’ Rush told Pogue in a 2022 interview.

Ferguson also was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and burglary. Additional charges were expected in the death of 74-year-old Bruno D’Amore and his mother-in-law, Lucia Arpino, after those autopsies are completed. The victims and suspect all live in the Boston suburb of Newton, but Ryan said it appeared there was no connection between them. The killings rattled Newton and the Our Lady Help of Christians Church, where the victims worshipped. Dan Riley, of Our Lady Help of Christians, said they were “wonderful people, church-going, kind, hospitable, salt of the earth.”SHARE:

On June 16, suspected Islamic State in Central Africa Province (ISCAP) fighters conducted a massacre at a boarding school in Uganda that was located just across the border from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (mazima.ug, June 19). Given their ideology and capabilities, ISCAP is the only group that could have conceivably carried out the attack. In addition, he called for additional troops to be deployed to areas of Uganda that border the DRC. The rest of the region, however, will not remain immune to such violence, as evidenced by spill-over attacks across borders, such as the recent school massacre. Any coordinated regional response in the DRC against ISCAP remain unlikely, however, given the rivalries and troubled relations between the DRC, Uganda, and Rwanda.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Tens of thousands of North Koreans marched in anti-U.S. rallies over the weekend, pledging “merciless” revenge against “U.S. imperialists,” as the country marked the 73rd anniversary of the start of the Korean War, state media said Monday. Photos sent by Park Sang-hak showed a placard with a picture of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a message that highlighted how his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, was responsible for starting the Korean War. North Korea is extremely sensitive about any outside attempt to undermine Kim’s leadership and weaken his absolute control over the country’s 26 million people. They vowed tighter diplomatic and security cooperation between Washington, Seoul and Tokyo to cope with the threat, the South Korean ministry said.

Four academic doctrines — critical theory, postmodernism, social justice and critical race theory — are moving the world, or at least the West, from this triumph to decline. “The point, however, is to change it.” Critical theory is not to be confused with critical thinking, for to think critically is to reason, explain, critique and challenge. James Lindsay, an independent American critic of critical theory and social justice, calls critical theory a “kafkatrap.” “Notice race? Pointing out that critical theory makes no sense misses the point: making sense is Western and privileged. It turns out that progressives were less interested in the principle of free speech than in promoting their own values.

Table 1 Risks of measuring equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) metrics in academic workforce with examples and suggested mitigation strategies. However, without taking into consideration the potential consequences of measuring EDI, committees may inadvertently worsen oppression for the groups they are trying to help. Understanding the risks Measurement may “out” marginalised participants EDI committees may want to be inclusive of as many identities as possible when measuring diversity. Ownership and interpretation of EDI data are not neutral The unintended consequences of EDI measurement extend past data collection.

There are far more problems at other pubs but police seem to turn a blind eye to them," said Jayne.
