"People were forced to come here to this safe place, which is the cemetery among the dead," said Amer, who is displaced from Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza with 11 family members including children and grandchildren. Israel has threatened to storm the area with tanks when it finishes a battle in Khan Younis just north of it. The cemetery has neat rows of low cement graves that pre-date the war, with plants and flowers growing on them, inscriptions and peeling paint. "The dead are in comfort while we, the living, are in pain and going through very tough conditions. "I see the children, our children, playing among and above the graves," said Amer.

Sarah J. Maas' latest book, "House of Flame and Shadow," was published on Tuesday.

☆ Why scientists are killing millions of Chinese mitten crabs
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Nell Lewis | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —Named after the dense mats of hair on their front claws, Chinese mitten crabs are intimidating creatures. Scientists across the continent are looking for ways to reduce the mitten crab population, and in doing so protect the native ecosystems being destroyed by the invasive species. Schoelynck says that scientists in Europe have reported crabs that are a hybrid of both the Chinese and Japanese species of mitten crabs. While mitten crabs are a seasonal delicacy in China, Schoelynck says that they have little meat and therefore aren’t popular in the European market. However, the crabs collected in one of the Belgium traps go to a local zoo to be used as animal feed, he says.

CNN —The $83.3 million verdict handed down in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against former President Donald Trump on Friday is far more than a judgment against Trump. In May, a Manhattan federal jury found Trump sexually abused Carroll in 1996. Legally, the award is an attempt to quantify the damages Trump wreaked on Carroll’s reputation, her sense of self and her life. I think most humans, including everyone on that jury, recognize that what Trump took from Carroll can’t be quantified. It just hurt.”But if Carroll’s story wasn’t easily slotted onto some universally understood, objective spectrum of sexual violence, that’s because there is no objective spectrum of sexual violence.

The singer June Carter Cash was born in 1929 into the Carter Family, an influential early country music group, and toured with Elvis Presley in the 1950s. She married Johnny Cash in 1968 and became part of his touring show. Archival footage of its making anchors the new documentary “June,” directed by Kristen Vaurio. The phrase that gave that album its title, “Press On,” is a neat encapsulation of June’s life philosophy.

Yet, it is frequently overlooked by data analysts and other data scientists because it's not readily available in an easy-to-use format. Historically, this kind of data hasn't been included in analytic data sets or data catalogs. Even those firms that sell data mesh and data fabric platforms that claim to make "all" of an organization's data visible and accessible inevitably exclude unstructured data. While most organizations will say that they're already capturing this kind of data — and even storing it in a data mart, data warehouse, data lake, etc. So, for those forward-thinking leaders aware of the value locked inside their unstructured data, the solution is to find someone in the organization with "data" in their title.

A properly designed SLAT contains a spendthrift clause, which prevents heirs from using trust assets or future distributions as collateral. After using the beneficiary spouse's $10 million exemption, the estate-tax bill is $9.01 million. The heirs pay income tax on income from the trust, but no estate tax is incurred when the trust passes to the next generation . There are a few caveatsThe trust maker's spouse loses their de-facto access to the assets if the beneficiary spouse dies first. Several courts have ruled against the argument that trust assets are marital property and should be divided.

In that context, the “Now and Then” movie’s upfront billing of the track as the last Beatles song feels like a two-pronged rhetorical move. But the truth, ultimately, will lie not with any facts inherent to the universe of existing Beatles recordings. If you can make a Beatles single using ideas from two dead Beatles, then you can make one with ideas from three dead Beatles — or even, perhaps, from four. It reminds me of the Beatles without sounding like the Beatles — and why should it, when Lennon didn’t write it for them? But I suspect that, in this late project, the always-innovative Beatles are once again ahead of their time.

Even in the Golden Age of musical theater, shows so commonly died after intermission that critics came up with a name for the disease. “Second act trouble” presented in many ways: unmoored songs, desperate cutting, illogical crises, hasty workarounds. Yet all those second act symptoms arose from the same underlying condition: first act ambitions. So it’s not really surprising that an enormously ambitious new musical like “Hell’s Kitchen,” the semi-autobiographical jukebox built on the life and catalog of Alicia Keys, disappoints after the mid-show break, tumbling directly into the potholes it spent its first half so smartly avoiding. And since those songs are the show’s selling point, they wind up wagging the story.
