Nearly 43,000 people died from gun injuries across the US in 2023, according to the database Gun Violence Archive. Red, for example, requires roasting the iron sulfate; yellow, the more finnicky hue, is the result of mixing the iron sulfate with an alkali like baking soda. Because of the time and labor involved to make the pigments, Little only produces them in “special batches” for artists who seek them out. It’s like gun violence in that this small thing can do so much, and it’s so potent.”Little's large batch of ink for the artist Christina Kwan, who has been experimenting with his materials.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth condemned the depiction by Trump and Republican allies of Jan. 6 defendants as “political prisoners” and “hostages."

Lewiston, Maine’s second most-populous city, is a place that once saw its best days in the rearview mirror, is a city that has fought hard to find its light. Lewiston is a hardscrabble hockey town that made room for soccer, a place that understands the meaning and worth of community and the work that goes into making a city into home. We all know places like Lewiston, places where everyone is connected in some way, whether through soccer or something else. “I’ve read more than several posts from people that say that Lewiston is a good place to live,” he said.

According to Dr. Doolittle’s research, the song patterns of Eurasian blackbirds found in that region resemble Stravinsky’s compositional style. Neuroscience research points to the idea that this affinity between birds and humans is not so unusual. But the brains of monkeys and non-songbirds, like gulls, are organized in a different way, Dr. Bolhuis said. For example, both humans and birds can produce smash hits that evoke feelings in their listeners, the psychologist Dr. Tchernichovski explained. “This is the magic in music,” Dr. Tchernichovski said.

☆ ‘The Consultant’ Review: Waltzing Into Corporate Headquarters
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Time, job markets and Elon Musk have made Bentley Little’s “The Consultant” even more of an allegory than it was when the novel was first published in 2015, although its vision of workplace horror is probably timeless: In the wake of a violent upheaval at a midsize tech company, a “consultant” arrives, moves into the boss’s office, starts trimming the staff, selling the furniture, reshaping a business he knows nothing about and warning that the end is near. No employee has the authority to throw him out—or, for that matter, the courage. Having Christoph Waltz play the ostensible villain in writer-developer Tony Basgallop ’s eight-part adaptation of Mr. Little’s book is to make use of the actor’s unnervingly precise Teutonic presence, which has been a mischievous and elastic feature in such films as “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained” (both of which won him Oscars). His intent can be good or bad, but is always vaguely ironic. As such, it is a mixed blessing in what is essentially a mystery in slow motion that keeps tilting toward comedy.

Michael Townson, 53, allegedly confessed to killing Linda Little while he was serving a life sentence for the 2007 slaying of another woman, Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young told reporters.

In 1991, Townson was living in Orlando and would travel to the area to visit the beach, Dinardi said.
