Buffy Sainte-Marie - Power In The Blood (2015)
Il modo più semplice per provare a raccontare di questo Power In The Blood è far finta di credere che Buffy Sainte Marie sia, soltanto, una autrice e cantante. Di dimenticarci delle sue esperienze di artista multimediale e del suo impegno di pacifista e cooperatrice, a difesa e sostegno dei nativi americani, popolo al quale lei stessa appartiene...

In late 2024, Israeli lawmakers approved a ban on UNRWA in Israel over disproven allegations that some of its staffers were Hamas members who took part in the October 7, 2023 attack. Those accusations led to numerous nations suspending financial support for UNRWA, although most of the countries have since restored funding. Israel has also sought to ban UNRWA from Gaza since early 2024.Israeli forces have killed more than 370 UNRWA staff members since October 2023 and destroyed or damaged over 300 of the agency’s facilities in Gaza. Lazzarini and others have also accused Israeli forces of torturing UNRWA staffers in a bid to force false confessions of Hamas involvement.

Nancy Mace shreds Mike Johnson and says ‘Nancy Pelosi was a more effective House Speaker than any Republican this century’
Rep. Nancy Mace has ripped Speaker Mike Johnson for the way he has run the House of Representatives in a New York Times op-ed, the latest sign of discontent among Republicans with the speaker.
Mace, a former moderate who moved hard to the right who is now running for governor, criticized Johnson and House leadership for closing the lawmaking process and concentrating it among themselves.
“Would opening up the floor lead to more conservative bills passing or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is: It would do both,” she wrote.
“Some Republican priorities would finally get a vote. So, too, would common-sense bipartisan measures. The point is to do more and let voters see where their representatives stand. What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency and results.”

The Brazilian-born mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew – who was recently detained by US immigration authorities – has rejected the Trump administration’s characterizations of her as an absentee parent.
Bruna Ferreira, who was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in November during a traffic stop in Massachusetts and was being held at a Louisiana detention center, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the White House’s statements that she had never lived with her son or spoken with Leavitt “in many years” were incorrect.
Ferreira, 33, had a relationship with Leavitt’s brother, 35-year-old Michael Leavitt. They had a son, Michael Leavitt Jr, now aged 11.
How to fix intense display tearing?
I have been getting monitor tearing time to time, even with windows. It wasn't occurring often, and I could fix it by turning the monitor off and on, so I have been sleeping on it.
A few days ago, it began tearing like crazy, and it happens after turning the monitor on for a few minutes. It came to the point where the computer is nearly unusable, so I want to solve the issue once and for all.
How do I go with resolving a monitor tearing issue? Or, is it the faulty monitor? The issue also happens on Windows, after all..
like this
1 - It comes from the graphical displaying.
So it could be either hardware graphical related (aka GPU or display) or software graphical related.
2 - It doesn't seem to come from driver or software issue since Windows didn't work.
So it's surely related to hardware, display or GPU.
If it's a desktop as other said you could try to change the output port of your display on your GPU...
Trai nghiem tu do cho khach du lich voi Smart Locker tai homestay va resort
Hiện nay, do sự phát triển của công nghệ và xã hội mà nhiều resort và homestay đang dần triển khai theo phong cách “tự phục vụ”, nơi du khách được tự do sử dụng các tiện ích mà không cần chờ nhân viên. Một trong những tiện ích ngày càng phổ biến là tủ locker thông minh đặt tại khu lễ tân, khu gym, hồ bơi hoặc phòng giữ hành lý. Du khách đến sớm trước giờ check-in có thể gửi hành lý vào locker, sau đó thoải mái đi dạo, tắm biển hoặc dùng dịch vụ. Không ai phải trông đồ, không lo thất lạc. Mã mở tủ được cung cấp tự động qua SMS hoặc QR, phù hợp cả với du khách nước ngoài.
Không dừng lại ở đó, một số resort còn dùng locker thông minh để phân phối khăn tắm, thiết bị thể thao nhỏ, áo phao hoặc bộ snorkel. Du khách quét thẻ phòng để mở tủ, hệ thống sẽ ghi nhận ai đang dùng gì. Điều này giảm tình trạng thất thoát thiết bị - vốn là vấn đề lớn tại các khu nghỉ dưỡng đông khách.
Có thể thấy, với phong cách vận hành hiện đại, tủ locker thông minh cũng giúp resort tạo ấn tượng chuyên nghiệp hơn. Trong giai đoạn cao điểm, công nghệ tự động giúp giảm áp lực cho nhân viên lễ tân, đặc biệt với những homestay ít nhân lực. Đảm bảo bảo quản đồ đạc tối ưu, chất lượng và mang tính hiện đại tuyệt đối.

Có thể thấy các nhà sách lớn như Hải Nam, Nguyến Văn Cừ vào cuối tuần luôn có lượng khách ra vào rất đông, do phụ huynh dẫn con đi mua đồ học tập, người trẻ tìm sách mới, hoặc khách tham quan chỉ ghé thử, trải nghiệm đọc sách. Khi lượng khách đông cũng đồng nghĩa với việc số lượng đồ mang theo cũng rất nhiều, điển hình như balo, túi xách, áo khoác, mũ bảo hiểm… Điều này khiến khu vực giữ đồ trở thành “điểm nóng” dễ xảy ra nhầm lẫn và quá tải.
Do đó, việc chuyển sang sử dụng tủ locker thông minh đang giúp nhiều nhà sách vận hành mượt mà hơn. Khách đến chỉ cần chạm vào màn hình, nhận mã QR hoặc mã PIN tự động. Mọi thao tác diễn ra trong vài giây mà không cần nhân viên hỗ trợ. Đặc biệt trong những buổi đông khách, công nghệ này giúp giảm tắc nghẽn rõ rệt. Điểm hay còn nằm ở chỗ là hệ thống quản lý tập trung. Nhân viên có thể kiểm tra trạng thái từng ô tủ theo thời gian thực, biết tủ nào đang dùng, tủ nào chưa đóng đúng cách. Những tình huống rắc rối như mất thẻ, quên đồ hay mở nhầm tủ gần như biến mất.
Đối với các nhà sách lớn hơn có khu vui chơi hoặc khu trải nghiệm STEM, tủ locker thông minh còn được sử dụng như nơi lưu trữ thiết bị. Trẻ nhỏ có thể mượn bộ dụng cụ, mô hình hoặc đồ chơi thử, sau đó trả lại đúng tủ theo hướng dẫn. Không gian trở nên ngăn nắp hơn, nhân viên giảm gánh nặng, khách hàng cảm thấy an tâm và thoải mái. Do đó Smart Locker chính xác là lựa chọn đáng đầu tư cho việc bảo mật an toàn, hiện đại, tối ưu dành cho bạn.

Nếu kể đến một môi trường đông đúc, luân chuyển liên tục thì không đâu khác chính là kí túc xá sinh viên. Sinh viên đến và đi theo kỳ, đồ đạc cũng thay đổi theo từng năm. Bởi lẽ đó mà tủ khóa truyền thống vốn gây ra nhiều chuyện dở khóc dở cười: mất chìa, hỏng khóa, khóa kẹt, bị ai đó mở nhầm… khiến ban quản lý đau đầu. Khi đưa giải pháp tủ locker thông minh vào ký túc xá, vấn đề gần như được giải quyết tận gốc. Mỗi sinh viên đăng ký phòng sẽ được cấp mã cá nhân hoặc thẻ mở tủ. Không còn chìa cơ, không còn nguy cơ bị sao chép chìa trái phép. Sinh viên chỉ cần nhớ mã hoặc lưu trên điện thoại.
Điều đáng để nói và hay nhất ở đây là hệ thống có thể reset mã bất cứ lúc nào. Khi sinh viên chuyển phòng hoặc trả phòng, ban quản lý chỉ việc thu hồi quyền truy cập và cấp lại cho người mới. Mọi thứ diễn ra trong vài giây — một sự thay đổi lớn so với cách vận hành cũ vốn tốn nhiều thời gian. Tủ Locker thông minh còn giúp ký túc xá nâng cao mức độ an toàn. Các trường hợp nghi ngờ mất đồ đều có dữ liệu hệ thống để kiểm tra. Nhiều ký túc xá hiện đại còn sử dụng tủ locker làm nơi nhận hàng cho sinh viên shipper gửi hàng vào tủ, sinh viên nhận bằng mã OTP. Tiện lợi và phù hợp với nhịp sống bận rộn. Thể hiện tính ứng dụng hiện đại cao, an toàn, bảo mật, uy tín.

Han che that thoat nho tu locker thong minh tai sieu thi
Chắc chắn bạn đã từng đi siêu thị ít nhất một lần vào giờ cao điểm, và dĩ nhiên khi đi vào khung giờ đó thì không lạ gì với việc phải thấy cảnh khách xếp hàng gửi túi xách ở quầy giữ đồ một hàng dài. Vào thời gian cao điểm đông đúc người có nhu cầu gửi đồ như thế, nhân viên phải ghi số, phát thẻ, rồi lại quay lại kiểm tra khi khách lấy đồ. Mỗi ngày hàng trăm lượt như vậy khiến quầy giữ đồ trở thành một trong những điểm dễ gây tắc nghẽn nhất. Và đó cũng là nơi dễ xảy ra nhầm lẫn hoặc thất thoát.
Bởi lẽ đó, nhiều hệ thống bán lẻ lớn bắt đầu chuyển sang tủ locker thông minh như một giải pháp giảm tải cực hiệu quả. Không còn cảnh nhân viên ghi chép thủ công, không còn rủi ro mất thẻ giấy. Khách chỉ cần thao tác vài giây trên màn hình, hệ thống sẽ tự động phân bổ ô tủ và cấp mã mở duy nhất. Khi quay lại nhận đồ, khách chỉ cần nhập lại mã hoặc quét mã QR, tủ mở chính xác không nhầm lẫn, không chờ đợi.
Một điểm rất đáng chú ý là tủ locker thông minh còn giúp ban quản lý siêu thị theo dõi thống kê lượt gửi đồ theo ngày/giờ để điều chỉnh nhân sự. Với những siêu thị đặt gần khu dân cư, việc tối ưu giờ cao điểm rất quan trọng để giảm áp lực cho quầy dịch vụ khách hàng. Ngoài ra, camera được tích hợp trong tủ giúp tăng tính bảo mật. Những trường hợp tranh chấp hoặc nghi ngờ thất thoát được kiểm tra nhanh hơn nhiều so với tủ truyền thống. Nhờ tự động hóa, các siêu thị tiết kiệm đáng kể chi phí nhân lực mà vẫn nâng cao trải nghiệm của khách.
Bởi chính những lý do trên mà ngày càng nhiều chuỗi bán lẻ tại Việt Nam xem locker thông minh như một phần bắt buộc trong tiêu chuẩn dịch vụ. Nhằm hướng đến việc ứng dụng công nghệ hiện đại và góp phần nâng cao trải nghiệm khách hàng một cách hiệu quả.

Tại các cơ sở giáo dục, các trường học quốc tế hiện đại, việc ứng dụng tủ cá nhân đã trở thành một phần quan trọng trong đời sống học sinh để lưu trữ đồ đạc cá nhân một cách hiệu quả. Tuy nhiên, mô hình tủ cơ truyền thống thường gặp đủ kiểu rắc rối điển hình như là học sinh dễ làm rơi chìa khóa hoặc là tủ dễ bị gỉ sét do trời nồm, ngoài ra còn có các tình trạng học sinh trêu chọc nhau bằng cách đổi chìa. Những điều nhỏ này nhưng khiến giáo viên mất khá nhiều thời gian để xử lý. Đó là lý do tủ locker thông minh xuất hiện trong các trường học như một bước tiến tự nhiên. Thay vì dùng chìa, mỗi học sinh sẽ được cấp mã PIN cá nhân hoặc thẻ từ tích hợp trong thẻ học sinh. Chỉ duy nhất các bạn đó mới mở được tủ của mình. Giáo viên có quyền quản lý theo lớp hoặc theo khối để theo dõi tình trạng sử dụng hoặc hỗ trợ trong trường hợp khẩn cấp.
Các trường quốc tế từ khi ứng dụng smart locker đã đánh giá cao khả năng “tùy chỉnh bố cục” của locker thông minh. Một tủ cao có thể chia thành 12–24 ô tùy nhu cầu. Điều này giúp những lớp đông học sinh vẫn đủ tủ riêng mà không cần chiếm quá nhiều diện tích. Ngoài ra, điều đặc biệt là các tủ thông minh còn có thể tích hợp thông báo tự động cho học sinh nếu tủ chưa đóng đúng cách hoặc quên đồ bên trong. Với học sinh tiểu học và cấp 2 - điều này thực sự hữu ích vì thói quen sắp xếp đồ cá nhân chưa ổn định.
Hệ thống còn giúp hỗ trợ ghi lại thời điểm mở tủ, người mở tủ và tình trạng tủ điều mà tủ cơ trước đây gần như không thể kiểm soát, góp phần giúp đỡ không ích cho công tác quản lý. Một môi trường học đường văn minh, an toàn và chủ động hơn được hình thành từ những chi tiết nhỏ như vậy.

Wyden Says Trump's $12 Billion Farmer Bailout Exposes Folly of 'Destructive Tariff Spree'
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1238…
Democratic US Sen. Ron Wyden was among those who emphasized Monday that President Donald Trump's erratic tariff policies have helped create the very conditions the White House is now citing to justify its new $12 billion relief plan for American farmers.
“Instead of proposing government handouts, Donald Trump should end his destructive tariff spree so American farmers can compete and win on a level playing field," said Wyden (D-Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. "Donald Trump’s trade war is taxing families, killing markets for our farm goods, and driving farmers into bankruptcy."
"Trump’s plan to bail out farmers won’t even get agriculture communities back to even," the senator added. "They’re still paying more for fertilizer, equipment, and seeds, while grown-in-the-USA farm goods are facing more obstacles than ever in foreign markets. Don’t forget that all of this trade destruction and taxing was to raise money for Trump’s massive handouts to billionaires and the ultra-wealthy.”
Trump formally unveiled the relief plan Monday afternoon at a White House roundtable with top officials, lawmakers, and farmers of corn, soybeans, and other crops. Reuters reported that up to $11 billion of the funds are "meant for a newly designed Farmer Bridge Assistance program for row crop farmers hurt by trade disputes and higher costs." The other $1 billion is earmarked for commodities not covered by the program.
"Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans," economist Justin Wolfers wrote in response to the plan.
Farm Action, a farmer-led agricultural watchdog group, welcomed the relief package but said it's not enough to end suffering caused by "tariffs, soaring input costs, and years of volatile markets."
"The current problems facing our agriculture system have been decades in the making due to failed policy that prioritizes commodity crops for export, which only benefits global grain traders and meatpackers," said Joe Maxwell, Farm Action’s co-founder and chief strategy officer. "Without addressing the root causes of this issue, farmers will be left to continue relying on government assistance into the future. That is why Congress must take action and fix our failed subsidy system in the next farm bill."
Rebecca Wolf, senior food policy analyst at Food & Water Watch, said that "bailouts are a denigrating Band-Aid to farmers whom decades of misguided domestic policy have left vulnerable to trade wars."
"Trump’s tariff tantrum and belittling bailouts will deepen agricultural sector consolidation, funneling money to a powerful few corporations, while running farmers further into the ground," said Wolf. "If Trump is serious about helping farmers, lowering sector consolidation and dropping food prices, he needs to look in the mirror. Chaotic tariff tantrums are no way to run farm policy. US farmers need fair prices, regional food markets, and policies that reward sustainable, humane production models—not trade wars.”
The $12 billion relief program comes after months of Trump tariffs and retaliatory actions by key nations—particularly China—that have amplified challenges facing US farmers, a key political constituency for the president.
Farmers and organizations representing them have been vocal in their criticism of Trump's tariffs and his proposed policy responses to the problems that the duties have intensified. As the Washington Post summarized:
Earlier this spring, Trump’s tariffs on China prompted the country to halt purchases of US soybeans. Then, the president offered a $20 billion bailout to Argentina, whose soybean crop sales to China have replaced those from US farmers. Later, Trump announced that the United States would buy beef from Argentina to bring down prices for US consumers, opening a new rift between Trump and cattle ranchers.The new assistance package is particularly aimed at helping soybean farmers, who have seen a precipitous drop in sales this year, leaving them with extra supply, as the price of soybeans fell.
In October, Illinois soybean producer John Bartman said in a message to the Trump administration that "we don't want a bailout, we want a market."
"Bailouts don't work. Bailouts are band-aids," Bartman added. "What Trump is doing is destroying our markets, and when those markets disappear, we're not gonna get them back."
Ryan Mulholland and Mark Haggerty of the Center for American Progress echoed that sentiment in an analysis last month, noting that "writing a check to farmers helps in the short term, but even in the most optimistic scenario, input costs are likely to remain high, demand volatile, the climate ever-changing, and corporate consolidation and investor ownership of land firmly entrenched."
"Planning for next year’s planting season will be extremely difficult, but without a comprehensive plan to make farming a more sustainable, more prosperous enterprise, planning in subsequent years likely will not be any easier," they added. "President Trump’s 'solution' is to simply pay off farmers. Farmers want trade, not aid. And they want government policy that supports farmers and the communities where they live over the long term."

AI Surveillance Startup Caught Using Sweatshop Workers to Monitor US Residents
Just when I thought I couldn't have a lower opinion of flock.
What does it take to become the most successful AI surveillance company in 2025? If you’re anything like Flock, the startup selling automatic license plate readers and facial recognition tech to cops, you don’t really need much AI at all — just an army of sweatshop workers in the global south.
Bombshell new reporting from 404 Media found that Flock, which has its cameras in thousands of US communities, has been outsourcing its AI to gig workers located in the Philippines.
After accessing a cache of exposed data, 404 found documents related to annotating Flock footage, a process sometimes called “AI training.” Workers were tasked with jobs include categorizing vehicles by color, make, and model, transcribing license plates, and labeling various audio clips from car wrecks.
In US towns and cities, Flock cameras maintained by local businesses and municipal agencies form centralized surveillance networks for local police. They constantly scan for car license plates, as well as pedestrians, who are categorized based on their clothing, and possibly by factors like gender and race.

What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?
I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from
Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?
What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?
like this
~/Scripts for any bash or python scripts
~/Gits for any repos I clone
~/Projects for any projects im working on (not organized by programming language, but I do have some dirs called zig, go, etc., for when im learning a new language and want to make some projects for learning purposes)
Most other files go into ~/Documents if they don’t have a home already, or don’t fit into the above directories
I make an \~/all/ directory as a catchall for things that don't fit elsewhere, since \~ is used by so many automatic softwares and config files, I like having a place that only I'll write to.
I also make \~/bin for general use and \~/all/GitHub/ for software I install from GitHub.
Goodbye RMA, hello Planning Bill and Natural Environment Bill
It's a short article.
::: spoiler AI Summary (for the lazy)
Govt has finally revealed its replacement for the Resource Management Act (RMA). Instead of one giant law, we’re getting two new ones: a Planning Bill (452 pages – focuses on enabling development and land use) and a Natural Environment Bill (292 pages – focuses on managing environmental impacts and protections). Both are expected to pass by mid-2026, with transitional changes kicking in immediately.
Key points:
- Transition period: Existing RMA consents get a 2-year extension, with a goal of clearing everything by 2031. New applications use a transitional RMA process that starts to mirror the new system.
- Fewer consents: Officials estimate around half of current consents/permits won’t be needed under the new framework. Govt claims a $3.1b GDP boost per year and $13.2b in compliance savings over 30 years.
- New ePlan system: A centralised digital planning/consenting/compliance platform. Regional Policy Statements are scrapped.
- Plans merged: 100+ council plans will be merged into 17 regional plans, with 30-year spatial plans for infrastructure corridors.
- Property rights & relief: Councils will have to provide relief (possibly financial) when heritage/nature protections or other rules significantly restrict what owners can do with their land.
- More national direction: More nationally-set policy and standards, less local variation, supposedly faster plan changes (aiming to cut plan change time from ~7 years to ~2).
- Less micromanagement: Trivial rules like which way your door opens, where it’s located, or where you mount your TV are explicitly out – framed as decisions for homeowners, not councils.
- New Planning Tribunal: A specialist body to act as a “clearing house” for disputes and appeals, aiming for faster resolution.
- Environment enforcement: Centralised enforcement of environmental protections rather than leaving it fragmented.
- Treaty position: Govt says existing Treaty of Waitangi provisions from the RMA are carried over into the new laws.
Chris Bishop is pitching this as a “once-in-a-generation” reset that will unblock housing and infrastructure while still protecting the environment. Critics are likely to see it as a big tilt toward development and private property rights, with a lot riding on how those 744 pages get applied in practice.

Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns
When it can be assumed that you are being surveilled while expressing negative opinion about the federal government, it’s probably best to go ahead and make the assumption, particularly during the punitive heights of the second Donald Trump administration. New reporting from the Associated Press this weekend detailed some aspects of not only United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) latest anti-immigrant and deportation campaign in New Orleans, but also some interesting insights into how both the federal and state law enforcement agencies involved have been engaged in online surveillance campaigns to track public sentiment toward that crackdown. The story paints a chilling profile of a United States in which dissent against the regime’s campaign of immigrant-targeted cruelty is being carefully compiled, filed away for the potential of future use against American citizens. Not that any of this should be a surprise for any of us.
We have, after all, been warned over and over that organizations like ICE have been wanting to vastly expand their online operations, using the same vastly expanded budget that recently saw them purchase a new $7.3 million fleet of (Canadian made) armored vehicles. The online expansion of ICE, meanwhile, is not just in the name of locating more groups of undocumented immigrants to target, but also to compile sprawling digital enemies lists, creating databases of those who have expressed anti-ICE sentiment. Earlier this year, The Intercept wrote about surveillance contractors sought by ICE, who would be expected to perform algorithm- and AI-aided deep dives into social media users’ post histories, searching for, among other things, “proclivity for violence,” which could include “empathy with a group which has violent tendencies,” among other things. Hope you haven’t expressed “empathy” at any point for any group with “violent tendencies,” right? How does it feel to know that you’d be at the mercy of a freelance surveillance contractor’s mastery of “social and behavioral sciences” and “psychological profiles,” according to ICE’s statement of objectives?
How much of these draconian operations have already been implemented isn’t entirely clear thanks to the shroud of secrecy surrounding the DHS and ICE, but fresh reporting in October noted that ICE was in the process of seeking an additional 30 full-time surveillance contractors to staff two of its “targeting centers”–and yes, that is apparently the official, deeply dystopian term for these facilities. These facilities, in Williston, VT and Santa Ana, CA, would run 24/7 shifts as surveillance analysts “receive tips and incoming cases, research individuals online, and package the results into dossiers that could be used by field offices to plan arrests.” The obvious question: How long until the same resources are being used to target those critical of ICE, or those organizing to impede ICE crackdown efforts, under the guise of “interference with law enforcement operations”? It should also be noted that even if ICE isn’t directly targeting those individuals yet, the unspoken threat of this kind of online surveillance could be intended to have a chilling effect on anti-ICE criticism.

Senator says ICE ‘attack dog’ caused ‘horrific’ injuries to unresisting man as he was detained
“An ICE agent lured Wilmer out of his home under false pretenses, posing as a construction worker who claimed to have hit Wilmer’s car and needed him to step outside to verify,” Murray said in a statement. “Another agent, accompanied by a dog, was hiding nearby and released the dog on Wilmer shortly after he stepped outside.”
Murray said Toledo-Martinez, who was brought to the US at age 15 and is undocumented, was not resisting arrest or attempting to flee when the dog attacked. He is being held at the Northwest ICE processing center, Murray said. She said Toledo-Martinez was detained in front of his wife and two young children, who are all US citizens – and she called for his immediate release.
“Following the attack, Wilmer was left shaking and dizzy, and at one point his vision went black, yet he was denied medical care for hours,” Murray said.

Supreme Court to hear case that could vastly expand presidential powers
Proving that history does repeat itself, in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to fire an FTC commissioner over ideological disagreements. In that case, called Humphrey's Executor, the court unanimously held that while the president has the power to remove purely executive officers for any reason, that unlimited power does not extend to agencies like the FTC, whose duties "are neither political nor executive, but predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative."
Following that 1935 decision, Congress went on to create many more multimember, independent agencies whose members likewise can only be removed for cause. Since January, Trump has also removed Democratic members from some of those agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

rima lo scontro a colpi di bastoni, poi lo scontro verbale in ospedale tra i parenti dei giovani coinvolti. È successo a Merano, dove i carabinieri della stazione di Postal hanno denunciato 6 persone
I militari sono intervenuti nei pressi del poligono per la segnalazione di una lite; sul posto hanno trovato i due giovani che si stavano ancora colpendo con bastoni in plastica e ferro, entrambi con vistose ferite sanguinanti. Disarmati e bloccati, i due sono stati trasportati all'ospedale Tappeiner di Merano. Per entrambi è scattata la denuncia per lesioni personali aggravate e porto abusivo di armi

Tarquinia, tomba dei Pigmei: inaugurazione del nuovo sistema di accesso l’11 dicembre, ore 11
L’Associazione Amici delle Tombe di Tarquinia, in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza per la provincia di Viterbo e per l’Etruria meridionale, in occasione delle iniziative per la valorizzazione della Necropoli etrusca di Tarquinia, ha organizzato per giovedì 11 dicembre prossimo, l’inaugurazione del nuovo sistema di accesso alla straordinaria Tomba dei Pigmei, realizzato grazie al generoso contributo della Socia Federica Wiel Marin e, fino ad oggi, difficilmente accessibile a causa del lungo e ripido dromos.
L’appuntamento è alle ore 11 al parcheggio della Tomba dei Tori.
L’ingresso sarà contingentato e gratuito, senza obbligo di prenotazione.
Alla fine è previsto anche un brindisi per festeggiare l’evento: un importante intervento volto a garantire una maggiore fruibilità e accessibilità di un sito così prestigioso.
