"Max [the cat] lives down the street from the main entrance to campus with Ashley Dow and her family, but he rarely hangs out at home.

"Ever since she started letting Max outside when he was 1, he’d head straight to the college campus and soak up the attention from students.

"'He usually goes over in the morning about 8 when I go to work, and he’ll come home in time for dinner, or one of the students will come over and drop him off'"

On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.

Prosecutors showed the jury the laptop belonging to Hunter that has long been a target of #RightWing activists & politicians, spurred by #Trump & #RudyGiuliani’s #ConspiracyTheories.

The recent news from the United States of bird flu in dairy cows has alarmed the Cambodians.
“The lesson learned from the U.S. is that we need to look more in these other animals and do more tests,” said Dr. Tum Sothyra
The ministry is expanding testing to animals that are likely to eat infected birds,such as ferrets &wild dogs, but he hopes it can find the funds to test cows as well
Poultry, however, is more difficult to surveil.

"In the coming months, this team of roughly 30 people at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is expected to propose a new rule that would require employers to protect an estimated 50 million people exposed to high temperatures while they work. They include farm laborers and construction workers, but also people who sort packages in warehouses, clean airplane cabins and cook in commercial kitchens. "
