Fhrm Lori Vallow Daybell guilty of unimaginable crimes Former first lady Michelle Obama delivered an impassioned speech at the first night of the Democratic National Convention, urging Americans w ho may have skipped the 2016 election to support Joe Biden in November. In her pre-recorded address, she spoke frankly about the challenges she sees facing the country, and the steep responsibilities a president faces. I am one of the handful of people living today that have seen firsthand the immense weight and awesome power of the presidency, Obama said. You simply cannot fake your way through this job. Obama, who wore a necklace spelling out V-O-T-E, said the decision by many not to vote in 2016 sent someone to the Oval Office who lost the national popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. The former first lady said the Trump presidency has undermined the achievements of her husband s tenure, and she also accused Mr. Trump of showing a lack of empathy. Here at home, as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and a never-ending list of innocent peop le of color continue to be murdered. Stating the simple fact that a Black life matt ers is still met with derision from the nation s highest office, Obama said. Sadly, this is the America that s on display for the next generation. Obama also referenced the catchphrase she coined in her speech at the 2016 Democratic convention, when she said, When they go low, we go high.

The zoo announced Tuesday that Coldilocks was euthanized due to a serious decline in her health. She was 37. Making the decision to euthanize an animal is never easy, especially one as beloved as Coldilocks, but after observing her the past week and examining her on Monday morning under anesthesia, they reached a consensus that euthanasia was the most humane option, the zoo said in a news release Tuesday.Coldilocks was born on Dec. 13, 1980, at Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, New York, and arrived at Philadelphia Zoo on Oct. 6, 1981. She became one of the zoo s most cherished animals and surpassed the typical polar bear lifespan of about 23 years, according to zoo officials. We are truly saddened this week -- Coldilocks will be greatly missed, said Andy Baker, chief operating officer at the zoo. Her long and healthy life is a testimony t o nutrition and veterinary attention she received, and to the generations of keepers who cared for and about her over her lifetime.

Gjlc Father takes Hillsborough County Schools to federal court over denying his daughter caffeine pills A rare 4.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded off Florida s coast Wednesday night.According to theU.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake was recorded about 100 miles off Cape Cana veral at 10:48 p.m., and data shows it occurred about 6 miles beneath the ocean floor.The earthquake was felt in coastal communities along the Atlantic Ocean, from St. Augustine sout h to the Vero Beach area, but no serious injuries or damage were reported. Earthquakesin Florida are rare; they re not non-existent, USGS seismologist Paul Earle told Scripps News West Palm Beach.Earle cited the 1879 north Florida earthquake that caused some minor damage, with reports of residents being awoken by falling objects in their home.SEE MORE: 75% of US at risk for damaging earthquake, new data shows It s not very typical, he said. Actually, most calls that we get for shaking turn out to be something else, like a sonic boom. The scientist said there is a fault that exists, but seismologists don t know much about it. We just can t tell with small earthquakes like this, he said.Earle said California, which has moreearthquakes, has an early warning system to tell people that shaking s coming a few seconds before, but the southern state likely won t have one any time soon if ever. These are very expensive systems, and Florida doesn t have a lot of earthquakes.

Senators continued to debate late into Thursday night, with limited time. Let s finish the job, Majority leader Sen. Chuck Schumer urged.Sen. Schumer confirmed leadership had come to a place where it promised to pass the legislation by Thursday night, officially by vote, as he called on his co lleagues in Congress to act quickly as they voted.Multiple senators insisted on debating amendments to the bill. Republican senators proposed changes to cut spending further and a Democrat fought to remove a controversial natural gas pipeline project from the package.Debates on military spending also dominated concerns about language in the legislation.On Wednesday, theHouse voted by a 314鈥?17margin in favor of H.R. 3746, which, if signed into law, would raise the debt limit for two years and cut spending on some discretionary programs.That legislation was placed in the Senate s hands as they began voting and debating Thursday night.The 99-page bill reins in spending for the next two years and will suspend the debt limit until January 202 Ajyo White House says Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024 A study from the National Institutes of Health claimed that permanent hair dye and chemical hair str aighteners could increase the risk of breast cancer among women. The study published online on Dec. 4 in the International Journal of Cancer found that women who used permanent hair dye and chemical hair straighteners were 9% more likely to develop breast cancer than those who did not. The NIH used a sample size of 46,709 women. Researchers stressed that there was little to no increase in breast cancer risk for semi-permanent or temporary dye use. Researchers have been studying the possible link be tween hair dye and cancer for a long time, but results have been inconsistent, said corresponding author Alexandra White, Ph.D., head of the NIEHS Environment and Cancer Epidemiology Group. In our study, we see a higher breast cancer risk associated with hair dye use, and the effect is stronger in African American women, particularly those who are frequent users. While the study suggests an increased risk for women, these results need to be replicated in other studies to make a conclusion, the NIH said. When asked if women should stop dyeing or straightening their hair, co-author Dale Sandler, Ph.D., chief of the NIEHS Epidemiology Branch, said, We are exposed to many things that could potentially contribute to breast cancer, and it is unlikely that any single factor explains a womans risk. While it is too early to make a firm recommendation, avoiding these chemicals might be one
