Hazing victims were willing victims. I said it 11 years ago in this space. I said it again in 2019, when a Philippine Military Academy cadet died from hazing and three others were hospitalized. I say it again now to mean that nothing has really changed. Things even got worse. While in the past, the victims were rushed by their brods, aka torturers, to the hospital, as in the case of University of Santo Tomas (UST) law student Horacio Castillo III, the badly beaten body of Adamson University chemistry major, John Matthew Salilig, was hastily buried by his torturers somewhere in Cavite.

Kevin Kelly, the CEO of Emerald Packaging, talks with an employee on a production floor of the California-based company in Union City, California, U.S. on May 7, 2020. REUTERS/Nathan Frandino/File photo When storms hammered California's farms last winter, Kevin Kelly knew his small factory outside San Francisco would soon see demand wilt for the plastic bags it churns out for pre-cut salads and other produce. In the past, he would have swiftly chopped 10 percent of the workers that run his bag-making machines, or about 15 people.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — Los Alamos was the perfect spot for the U.S. government's top-secret Manhattan Project. Almost overnight, the ranching enclave on a remote plateau in northern New Mexico was transformed into a makeshift home for scientists, engineers and young soldiers racing to develop the world's first atomic bomb. Dirt roads were hastily built and temporary housing came in the form of huts and tents as the outpost's population ballooned. The community is facing growing pains again, 80 years later, as Los Alamos National Laboratory takes part in the nation's most ambitious nuclear weapons effort since World War II.

Posted Today, 12:37 PM Drug Shortages Near an All-Time High, Leading to Rationing This is a rather disturbing development.

A movie starring Helen Mirren as Golda Meir has just opened, 50 years after the war that ended the Israeli prime minister's career. More snore than sleeper hit, 'Golda' captures its subject's Chesterfield chain-smoking while brushing past a timely lesson about diplomacy: to be effective, leaders need to know each other's personalities as well as each other's national interests.America, for its part, has blundered when presidents have confused the two. President Barack Obama thought he understood Syrian President Bashar al-Assad when Obama warned him that using chemical weapons would cross a 'red line.

Posted Yesterday, 08:27 PM I was trying to set up a new hard drive on my pc. I had a USB device that connects to drives externally so I could copy the data from the drive I was replacing. I was able to get the drive initialized and working in Windows Explorer, so I started the copy. About 30 seconds later I get a notification that the drive has stopped functioning. Next, my keyboard and mouse stop responding and are indicating they're no longer connected. The video I had playing in the background is still playing just fine.
