Lawmakers are taking matters into their own hands to prevent white supremacists and other extremists from joining and remaining in the military. Following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — and the subsequent revelation that nearly 1 in 5 people charged in connection with the riot have some form of military background — Congress plans to insert language into this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to address extremism at the Pentagon and other federal agencies. “The attack on our Capitol was an insurrection fueled in large part by groups that espouse the same extreme white supremacists’ views groups that actively recruit veterans and from the ranks of our military,” Rep.

Font size: A - | A + 1 He sat down, dipped his pen in the inkwell and began to write. He was 50 years of age, which in those days was considered old. It was time to look back at life and write a family chronicle. Well-known musicians ran in the family and the tradition went back to the oldest known ancestor – Veit Bach. In addition to being a baker, he also liked to play music. And it is likely that he came from Prešporok, as Bratislava used to be known in the past. This account was left to us by an artist without whom neither Mozart nor the Beatles could exist, namely Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach's link to Prešporok (10 photos) ‘How nice they must have sounded together!’ "In the 16th century, Vitus Bach, a baker of white pastries in Hungary, was compelled to escape because of his religion. Having monetised his property as best as he could, he moved to Thuringia in Germany where he found enough … [Read more...] about Bach’s ancestors made pastries in Bratislava

Apricot blossoms in Mu Nau Valley of Son La Province, northern Vietnam. Mu Nau Valley lies in sub-zone 13 of Moc Chau Town in Son La Province. Two kilometers south of Moc Chau center, the valley spans 200 hectares and comprises a 40-year-old apricot forest, a 25-year-old plum forest, and an old-growth forest. The route from the town to the valley is short but steep and requires excellent driving skills, often scaring first-timers. Leaving Moc Chau around 5 p.m, I was accompanied by Duy, owner of Pho Nui Tinh Yeu Homestay, to Mu Nau. He picked me up at the intersection near town and advised me to mentally prepare myself for the ride, an effort that would prove futile as soon as we hit the road. The higher we got, the more Duy revved his engine, with the slope becoming increasingly uncooperative. I was not in the least comforted by the fact I was on the back of a local's bike. At one point, I was shaking with my eyes closed shut out of fear the vehicle would flip over. As we … [Read more...] about Experience seasonal rebirth as spring descends on Moc Chau valley

Dragon fruit cultivation in Long An province (Photo: VNA) HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Farming households in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta need to apply high-tech practices to develop value-added agricultural products that can enter global value chains, Le Minh Hoan, deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, has said. Hoan said it was vital to offer incentives and loans to farmers who use sustainable and climate-friendly production processes. Millions of small-scale farming households , which are the most critically affected by climate change, need access to innovative technologies and practices as well as market information. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, posing risks to farmers and exporters of farm produce. The most affected products have been fresh fruits, vegetables and aquatic products, according to the Vietnam Academy of Agricultural Sciences. To cope with the outbreak, major firms including the Loc Troi Group, Vingroup, PAN Group … [Read more...] about Farmers urged to use high-tech practices to enter global value chains

The Hanoitimes - The flowers fragrance breeze could be smelled in the streets where a flower vendor is about to pass by. Late-February and Early-March is also the season when the grapefruit flowers are in full bloom. Amid the bustle of the new day, the hustle of the daily life, the enchanting scent of grapefruit blossoms draws passerby who might want to stop for a moment, just to breath in the gentle fragrance in the air.

The porcelain white flower with bright yellow pistils are loaded on bamboo baskets by flower vendors who pedal around Hanoi streets to find customers. The fragrant aromas of the tiny flowers … [Read more...] about Scent of grapefruit flowers filled up streets of Hanoi

Home Two wheelers oi-Rahul Nagaraj By Rahul Nagaraj Updated: Thursday, February 25, 2021, 14:39 [IST] Suzuki Motorcycles are said to be working on introducing their first electric vehicle in the Indian market. The new EV from Suzuki will come in the form of an electric scooter, which is said to be based on the brand's premium Burgman Street 125 offering. The new Suzuki Burgman electric scooter has been spotted testing on multiple occasions. Now, ahead of its launch this year, the Burgman-based electric scooter from Suzuki has been spied undergoing testing yet again by Rushlane ; this time revealing more details and a closer look at the upcoming model. As seen from the spy pics, the new Suzuki electric scooter looks identical to its IC engine-powered version. The electric scooter carries forward the same design and styling. It also has all the same features as well, including the LED headlamps, turn indicators, large … [Read more...] about Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Spied Testing Ahead Of Launch: Spy Pics & Details

Fear not, BMW faithful. This still has RWD proportions. While we’ve seen our fair share of spy shots with the next-generation BMW 2 Series Coupe, this is our first proper look at the M2. Caught testing in a wintery scenery somewhere in northern Europe, the smallest of the full-fat M cars (the M135i doesn’t count) had the full production body and the signature quad exhaust setup. After the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe and electric i4, the new 2 Series / M2 will be the next models in line to get BMW’s redesigned door handle that remains flush with the bodywork. The Bavarians slapped on some white stickers above the actual door handle to try and trick us into believing the prototype had the old setup, but we know better. We also see an extra layer of disguise at the base of the C-pillar – notice the tiny black rivets holding the fake panels - presumably to hide the redesigned Hofmeister kink.

Source: klimkin/Pixabay Gun violence is a major problem in the U.S. For instance, in 2018, guns caused nearly 40,000 deaths. I have previously reported on strategies to reduce gun violence ; but to develop more effective strategies, we need to learn more about why people own guns, what guns mean to them, and how they feel about gun control policies. According to a recent paper, by Siegel and Boine at Boston University, published in the November issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine , most gun owners possess guns for reasons of self-defense, believe gun control advocates want to take their guns away, and claim their unwillingness to participate in gun violence prevention has to do, in part, with their perceptions of gun control advocates as always blaming them. Methods and results of the gun owner survey A random sample of nearly 3,700 gun owners was invited to take part in a national survey of gun owners in the U.S. Of these, 2,086 completed the … [Read more...] about What Do Guns Mean to Gun Owners?

Source: © Can Stock Photo / stillfx It’s hard to believe that every time we hear about another mass shooting, nothing was able to prevent it. Tragically, we know those mass shootings will continue to occur, be it a result of international terrorism or through the hands of a neighbor. Although the aggressor or group of aggressors may feel anger towards a specific group of persons, their acts of violence most often result in victims of different ages, ethnicities, and religions. An Everytown for Gun Safety analysis of data between 2009 to 2016 from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Vital Statistics System, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR) reveals many disturbing facts.
