A Houston-area couple is suing United Airlines, saying one of their infant twins died en route to meeting her grandparents in 2019 because the airline refused to let the family buckle the babies into car seats for the 11-hour flight to Japan. The same couple has been charged in a gruesome child abuse case in New Hampshire alleging the man intentionally immersed the hand of his 3-year-old stepdaughter in boiling water.
Bottle bill states see drop in related litter, 2020 study finds
For all of the communities reporting observed increases in litter over the last year, Keep America Beautiful has an updated estimate on the scope of the problem: 50 billion pieces across the U.S. The organization this month released a report on its extensive 2020 research campaign, which for the first time measured litter along waterways in addition to along roadways.
KAB estimated the amount of litter along U.S. waterways and found it exceeds the problem along roadways (25.9 billion pieces of litter versus 23.7 billion). Across roadways and waterways, about 39% of litter is believed to be made of plastic.
Background – The people on the ground in Windham, New Hampshire, are doing an excellent job holding the election officials and auditors accountable to the people during this forensic ballot audit. The audit started because the tabulating machines (Dominion hardware and software) did not accurately count the votes from the physical ballots.
During the first small audit (recount) it was discovered that Republican votes were undercounted and Democrat candidates were overcounted. This anomaly was discovered during a hand recount of the ballots as compared to the electronic tabulation results.
After the first set of electronic tabulation results were discovered to be inaccurate the state authorized a full forensic audit. The full audit is ongoing; yesterday it was reported the second hand recount matched the first, which means the machine tabulation of those ballots was wrong.
