ruling? >> i think it's a seriously flawed ruling, fredericka. to compare an ar-15 to a swiss army knife runs counter to what any ordinary person would believe. the ruling was also shocking coming on gun violence awareness day, where literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people, are thinking about how their lives and their families were adversely and very negatively impacted by gun violence. i expect this to be reversed on appeal, and i think this only strengthens the resolve of folks like myself and lords in congress to pursue common sense gun measures. >> so we heard polo sandoval say pro-gun groups are delighted with this ruling and just ee lab ratz a little bit on the ruling, the judge saying that the state's definition of illegal military style rifles unlawfully

Rusty patched bumble bee is Minnesota's state bee 2:00 pm, May 7, 2021 ×

It’s been two years since the rusty patched bumble bee became the state bee of Minnesota, a designation due in no small part to Elaine Evans, University of Minnesota Extension educator and Bee Lab researcher.
Because the rusty patched bumble bee is so uncommon, researchers haven’t been able to observe nesting behaviors for more than 25 years. That data is vital for conservation efforts. Her outreach paid off last summer when Evans heard from several people familiar with her work.
When Nancy Kafka found bees in her basement, she recalled learning about the Bee Lab’s research through her work with the Belwin Nature Center. “As I looked at the bees, their markings were interesting and the stripe pattern made me curious: Could these be the rusty patch?” says Kafka. She took photos and contacted Evans, who confirmed the identification.

How Wendell King Found His Frequency in Erie African American radio engineer met and obliterated the 'color line' by Jonathan Burdick

It was June of 1917 and the United States was at war. The first American infantry troops had arrived in Europe that month and stateside manufacturers were working around the clock to keep up with wartime demand. In Schenectady, N.Y., the sprawling General Electric plant, which employed 20,000 workers, hired a few dozen students from nearby Union College for the summer. This included Wendell Wilford King, a brilliant 20-year-old North Troy local who had just finished his freshman year studying electrical engineering. Instead of having him work in the yard like most college hires, he was put on a drill press.
