CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelans around the world, some carrying flags and other patriotic trappings, heeded the call of their country's political opposition on Saturday, taking to the streets to defend the faction's claim of victory against President Nicolas Maduro in last month's disputed presidential election.The demonstrations in Tokyo, Sydney, Mexico City and several other cities were an effort by the main opposition coalition to provide a visible demonstration of what they say are the true results of the election.

August 17, 2024 at 3:32 pm After picking up the car in Gothenburg, we set off on a road trip across Europe. As I mentioned in my last post, we bought the car in December 2011 through Volvo's international delivery program, but because it was winter we only made it as far as Copenhagen. This time, after a quick stop in Copenhagen for dinner, we continued on to Odense, Denmark, where we stayed overnight. The next morning we took a short drive to Billund and the original Legoland park.For Lego fans, Billund is Mecca. The Legoland here is the original…

NEW YORK — Jake Berger has never been one to shy away from making his impact known. Over the past month and a half, the 28-year-old has made his presence felt with the bat in Miami, smashing a major league-leading 17 home runs since July 2, outselling such standouts as Juan Soto and Anthony Santander. But while MLB's Players Weekend gives the league's stars a chance to express themselves and honor the causes and loved ones that drive their journeys, Berger is using his bat to send a different kind of message. Berger will be using two custom bats made…

Saturday morning was time for health checks for hundreds of rabbits competing in the rabbit judging contest at the Westmoreland Fair in Mount Pleasant Township. “I look at the horses holistically to make sure they're healthy enough to show at the fair,” said Unity's Marianne Miller, a veterinary technician at Greensburg Veterinary Clinic. Miller placed the rabbit on the table and checked its eyes and paws, gently holding it down while he gave it a quick examination. “The stress of attending the fair itself can cause problems,” Miller said. Miller was checking out 10 rabbits that Lee Lenhart of New…

Remember HAL 9000, David from Prometheus (2012), and other delightfully evil intelligent robots and computers? They're great fiction, but Mark Wittman, a research scientist at the Institute for Frontiers in Psychology and Mental Health in Freiburg, Germany, says they're definitely fiction. Speaking to Psychology Today earlier this month, he explained why AI can't actually be conscious: It's a fallacy to think that just because a brain and a computer are both called machines, they are the same thing. It's easy to categorize two different objects with the same word “machine.” But the fact remains that a brain and a machine…
