Parents, it’s time to fight back against 'Big Birthday'
It’s not Big Brother, Big Pharma, Big Tech, or even Big Lunchmeat. It’s Big Birthday. That’s not good enough anymore, and we parents unwittingly find ourselves in a birthday party arms race of our own making. Finally, Big Birthday sends the wrong message about the very nature of fun. It’s time to de-escalate Big Birthday.

SC orders 2 PK Halder cronies to surrender before trial court
DHAKA May 23, 2024 (BSS) - The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) today ordered two then directors of International Leasing and Financial Service Basudeb Banerjee and his wife Papia Banerjee, alleged associates of Prasanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder, to surrender before a trial court within June 4. An Appellate Division bench headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim passed the order, disposing of a plea of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). A High Court division bench on May 9 granted them six-week anticipatory bail, making the ACC to appeal against the order with the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division chamber judge court on May 13 stayed the High Court bail order and asked the two accused to surrender before trial court within two weeks. The defence however, pleaded for adjusting and subsequently withdrawing the chamber court order.

From Wellsville School Board Vice-President Keith Loines: “Thank you again”
I met some amazing people along the way, and learned a lot about how a school operates behind the scenes and the trials and tribulations of being a rural school district. Historically, School Budget Elections are not very well attended, but this year the community came out in droves to make their voices heard. I implore the community to continue to show up for each and every election, whether is be a school budget vote or a Presidential election. I also strongly urge you to attend school board meetings and budget presentations. I would like to expressly thank Superintendent David Foster, Emily Peavey, Megan Burdick, Dawn Youmans, and all of my fellow board members for all of your support and a shared goal of making Wellsville Central School the best educational institution that it can be.

Kenyan climber dies on Everest, Nepali guide missing
KATHMANDU, May 23, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A Kenyan climber has died close to Everest's summit and his Nepali guide is missing, a tourism official said Thursday, taking this season's toll on the world's highest mountain to at least three. Joshua Cheruiyot Kirui, 40, and his Nepali guide Nawang Sherpa, 44, went out of contact Wednesday morning, and a search team was deployed on the 8,849-metre (29,032-foot) high mountain. Search parties also continue to look for a 40-year-old British climber and 21-year-old Nepali guide who have been missing since Tuesday morning after an ice fall collapsed as they descended from Everest's peak. Earlier this month, two Mongolian climbers went missing after reaching Everest's summit and were later found dead. Two more climbers, one French and one Nepali, have died this season on Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak.

Justice Alito flag flap matters (even if he blames his wife).
I mention all this because I am flabbergasted that any member of the U.S. Supreme Court — or their significant other — could have even the slightest doubt about the importance of neutrality. Yet that seems to be the case with Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. Outside his home in Alexandria, Virginia, an upside-down American flag, a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” protest, was flown for some undetermined period of time. First, it seeks to casually justify an act of pettiness, a behavior ill-suited for a justice on the highest court in the land. Judges aren’t supposed to be like that. Supreme Court employees aren’t even supposed to display bumper stickers on the back of their cars.
