President Trump’s relationship with the American business community suffered a major setback on Wednesday as the president was forced to shut down his major business advisory councils after corporate leaders repudiated his comments on the violence in Charlottesville this weekend.
Trump announced the disbanding of the two councils — the Strategy & Policy Forum and the Manufacturing Council, which hosted many of the top corporate leaders in America — amid a growing uproar by chief executives furious over Trump’s decision to equate the actions of white supremacists and protesters in remarks he made at Tuesday at Trump Tower.
But those groups had already decided to dissolve on their own earlier in the day, a person familiar with the process said. JP Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon, a member of the Strategy & Policy Forum, told employees in a note on Wednesday that his group decided to disband following Trump’s news conference on Tuesday, in which he appeared to show sympathy for some of the people who marched alongside the neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville.

Those who loved Heather Heyer, along with strangers who have already elevated her into a symbol of defiance in the face of hate, gathered Wedneday to remember the woman who was killed in the racist melee here as a born defender of justice who who died for showing up.
“They tried to kill my child to shut her up, but guess what, you just magnified her,” said Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, sparking a cheering ovation from a packed auditorium in downtown Charlottesvill. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va) were among those in the crowd.
As the political and emotional shockwaves from the weekend violence continued to roil the nation outside, Heyer’s family and friends filled the front rows, rising by turns to greive and to galvanize. Her mother beseeched those who mourn for Heyer to take up her committment to social justice
“I have aged 10 years in the last week,” Bro said as she struggled up the stairs to the stage when it was her turn to speak. But from the podium, she called forcefully to those who knew her daughter–and those around the world coming to know her now–to fight “as Heather would do.”

But some Republicans spoke out against Trump, using his name directly to emphasize that they don’t agree with what he said in Trump Tower.
.
During his news conference, Trump blamed “both sides” in the protests and equated the white supremacists on one side with the counter-protesters on the other side.
Some Republicans, to avoid more conflict, denounced racism after Trump’s news conference — and some indirectly referred to his statements when they called him out.

One of the reasons a total solar eclipse is possible is because of an amazing cosmic coincidence: the Sun is four hundred times larger than the Moon but is also four hundred times farther away. This makes them seem like they are relatively the same size from our perspective here on Earth.

Two female artists are embarking on a rather, um, unusual mission: to collect 1,001 butts. Yes, butts.
Montreal-based artists Emilie Mercier and Frédérique Marseille are photographing women’s backsides in an attempt to celebrate the beauty of the female derrière.
Through the “1001 Fesses” — or 1001 Bums — photographic project, they hope to address the insecurities they feel about their bottoms, and explore the way other women feel about their own bodies.

Premiums for the most popular health insurance plans would shoot up 20 percent next year, and federal budget deficits would increase by $194 billion in the coming decade if President Trump carries out his threat to end certain subsidies paid to insurance companies for the benefit of low-income people, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday.
The subsidies reimburse insurers for reducing deductibles, copayments, and other out-of-pocket costs that low-income people pay when they visit doctors, fill prescriptions, or receive care in hospitals.
Even before efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act collapsed in the Senate last month, Trump began threatening to cut off the subsidies, called cost-sharing reductions. He said the health care law would “implode” and Democrats would have no choice but to negotiate a replacement plan. Trump described his strategy as, “Let Obamacare implode, then deal.”

The head of the AFL-CIO has stepped down from the White House’s manufacturing council after President Trump doubled down on his position that violence in Charlottesville was perpetrated by many sides at a press conference Tuesday.
Richard Trumka said in a statement posted on Twitter that he “cannot sit on a council for a President who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism,” and called Tuesday’s remarks “the last straw.”
The statement was jointly issued by Thea Lee, an economist who previously served as deputy chief of staff at the AFL-CIO. She also resigned from the council.

If Isaac Newton suddenly popped out of a time machine, he’d be delighted to see how far physics had come. Things that were deeply mysterious a few centuries ago are now taught in freshman physics classes (the composition of stars is one good example).
Newton would be stunned to see enormous experiments like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland — and possibly perturbed to learn that his theory of gravity had been superseded by one dreamed up by some fellow named Einstein. Quantum mechanics would probably strike him as bizarre, though today’s scientists feel the same way.
But once he was up to speed, Newton would no doubt applaud what modern physics has achieved — from the discovery of the nature of light in the 19th Century to determining the structure of the atom in the 20th Century to last year’s discovery of gravitational waves. And yet physicists today are the first to admit they don’t have all the answers. “There are basic facts about the universe that we’re ignorant of,” says Dr. Daniel Whiteson, a University of California physicist and the co-author of the new book “We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.”

Earlier this month one of Ghana’s renowned and talented photography names, Emmanuel Bobbie of Bobpixel photography turned 41. (Happy belated birthday Uncle Bob)
If you asked me I think that’s quite a young age for a man who has accomplished so much in his life as a photographer. In 2005, a young Bobbie moved to Ghana to begin working as lensman after working and living in the United Kingdom for a number of years.
According to him, the passion for photography had always been with him especially during his days as a Graphic and design student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology where reading a course in photography was not negotiable.
In his 2014 interview with Obed Boafo’s Enewsgh.com, the man who has his works spread across the city, on people’s phones, laptops and the nation as a whole admits that it wasn’t as rosy when he begun shooting despite the few number of professionals in the industry.
“The digital age had just started and there weren’t a lot of people in the industry like there is now. It was late 2005 when I came in and I heard a few names, and these were guys who were into photography for certain people. I didn’t have a place in the industry so I had to start shooting weddings and self-projects and people started seeing my works and it took off from there.” He recalls.
