Dozens of people were injured when a wave pool in China malfunctioned, triggering a tsunami-like wave.

Visitors to a water park in Northern China who were in the wave pool were suddenly smashed by the giant wave.

The dramatic footage shows the fast-moving wave throwing swimmers on rafts into the air and toppling into one another, while others frantically try to swim away from the wall of water.

About 44 people were injured, some with fractured ribs, according to the South China Morning Post.

Robert F. Kennedy’s granddaughter, Saoirse (SUR’-shuh) Kennedy Hill, has died at 22.

The Kennedy family released a statement on Thursday night, following reports of a death at the family’s compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. The statement was issued by

Brian Wright O’Connor, a spokesman for former congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II.

Hill was the daughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s fifth child, Courtney, and Paul Michael Hill, who was one of four falsely convicted in the 1974 Irish Republican Army bombings of two pubs.

The statement says Saoirse Hill was passionate about human rights and women’s empowerment and that she worked with indigenous communities to build schools in Mexico.

The top US Navy SEAL recently sent a blistering letter to the force, writing in boldface type, “We have a problem,” following several high profile incidents of alleged misbehavior by the US Navy’s elite service members, CNN has learned.

Rear Adm. Collin Green has given commanders until August 7 to detail the problems they see and provide recommendations on how they will ensure troops are engaging in ethical and professional behavior.
.
The letter — dated July 25 and exclusively obtained by CNN — comes in the wake of several high profile incidents of alleged misbehavior by SEALs.
.
“I don’t know yet if we have a culture problem, I do know that we have a good order and discipline problem that must be addressed immediately,” Green said.

Ronald Reagan’s Daughter Weighs In On His Racist ‘Monkeys’ Comment

Leave a comment

The daughter of former President Ronald Reagan published an op-ed in The Washington Post on Thursday condemning her late father’s recently uncovered racist remarks and asking the public to forgive him.

“There is no defense, no rationalization, no suitable explanation for what my father said on that taped phone conversation,” Patti Davis wrote about the newly released recording published Tuesday by The Atlantic.

The National Archives recently released audio of a private phone call from 1971 between Reagan, then the Republican governor of California, and then-President Richard Nixon. Reagan called United Nations delegates from African countries “monkeys” in the recording, reportedly referring to Tanzanian delegates dancing after the U.N. voted to recognize the People’s Republic of China, which Reagan opposed.

“To see those, those monkeys from those African countries,” he told Nixon in the audio. “Damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes.”

America’s favorite and least favorite fast-food burgers: survey

Burgers are one of America’s favorite foods, but there’s one clear winner among American burger chains, according to a new survey.

Market Force Information, a customer experience management company, conducted a survey of 7,600 American adults to find out their favorite fast-food restaurants — and in the burger category, one reigned supreme.

West Coast darling In-N-Out is tops as America’s overall favorite burger chain for the third straight year, with Five Guys in second place. In-N-Out had the best experience and the highest loyalty among customers.

Participants were asked about their satisfaction levels with their most recent visit and their likelihood to recommend the restaurant to others. The results were then averaged to establish the Composite Loyalty Index score. Only chains that received at least 100 customer responses were analyzed. Participants were also asked about their dining experiences, including delivery services, visit frequency, brand engagement, customer experience and problem experience.

6 Takeaways From Tuesday’s Progressives vs. Moderates Debate

Leave a comment

Click the link below the picture

.

Almost from the start on Tuesday night, CNN positioned the first of its two Democratic presidential primary debates this week as the progressives versus the moderates. And repeatedly throughout the slugfest in Detroit, both sides seemed more than happy to oblige. 

More moderate candidates, such as former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, attacked Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on issues including health care and climate change. The progressive senators responded in kind ― portraying their opponents as fearful of imposing the change necessary to put the country back on track. 

“We can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in just because we’re too scared to do anything else. And we can’t ask other people to vote for a candidate we don’t believe in,” Warren said at one point.

When Lawmakers Try to Ban Assault Weapons, Gunmakers Adapt

Leave a comment

Click the link below the picture

.

As the United States witnesses dozens of mass shootings each year, one proposal to limit the carnage turns up again and again: an assault weapons ban.

Even though military-style weapons are used in few shootings, they have proven to be the deadliest, and the most visible targets for legislation.

But the nature of today’s most popular rifles — and the determination of gunmakers, firearms hobbyists and Second Amendment enthusiasts — means weapons bans have worked better in theory than in practice.

Hal Prince, Giant of Broadway and Reaper of Tonys, Dies at 91

Leave a comment

Hal Prince, the Broadway royal and prodigious Tony winner who produced or directed (and sometimes both) many of the most enduring musicals in theater history, including “West Side Story,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Cabaret,” “Sweeney Todd” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” the longest-running show in Broadway history, died on Wednesday in Reykjavik, Iceland. He was 91.

A spokesman, Rick Miramontez, said Mr. Prince, who lived in Manhattan, had been on his way home from his residence in Switzerland when he died in Iceland after a brief illness.

Mr. Prince began working in the theater in the halcyon days of Broadway, when Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein were its songwriting kings, the stage musical was a robust American art form (not to mention an affordable entertainment option) and theater songs were staples of the airwaves.

Need Extra Time on Tests? It Helps to Have Cash

The boom began about five years ago, said Kathy Pelzer, a longtime high school counselor in an affluent part of Southern California. More students than ever were securing disability diagnoses, many seeking additional time on class work and tests.

A junior taking three or four Advanced Placement classes, who was stressed out and sleepless. A sophomore whose grades were slipping, causing his parents angst. Efforts to transfer the children to less difficult courses, Ms. Pelzer said, were often a nonstarter for their parents, who instead turned to private practitioners to see whether a diagnosis — of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, perhaps, or anxiety or depression — could explain the problem.

Such psychological assessments can cost thousands of dollars, and are often not covered by insurance. For some families, the ultimate goal was extra time — for classroom quizzes, essays, state achievement tests, A.P. exams and ultimately the SAT and ACT.

A disgruntled employee who killed two co-workers and wounded an officer at a Mississippi Walmart on Tuesday now faces murder charges, authorities said.

Authorities identified the suspect as Martez Tarrell Abram, 39, of Southaven. Abram is a longtime Walmart associate who was recently suspended, a company spokesman said.
.
Abram faces two counts of murder after he fatally shot one employee inside the store in Southaven, the third largest city in Mississippi, and killed an employee outside, said John Champion, district attorney for the 17th Circuit Court of Mississippi.
.
He said the case will be presented to a grand jury which will officially charge Abram. The charges may be upgraded, the district attorney said.
The gunfire broke out Tuesday morning when about 60 employees were in the Walmart, authorities said. The suspect was “well inside the store for a few minutes,” Champion said.
