Kenneth Burres’ Illustrated Book – Bringing WWII to Life for Readers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:02:40 GMT

World War II was one of the most significant events in world history that transformed global politics and had long-term economic implications for the world economy. The global conflict continued for over six years, from 1939 to 1945, with over 30 countries on the Allied and Axis sides. The war was also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with about 70 million casualties. The immediate and direct cause of WWII was Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. However, several other factors led to the invasion and global conflict. The stage for WWII was set after WWI, from economic depression, the Treaty of Versailles, and the imperialistic and military aggression of Germany and Japan. WWI led to a worldwide economic recession and adversely affected Germany because it lost territory, had to pay reparations, and was prevented from forming a military. The adverse effects significantly increased political frustration in Germany, which invaded Poland under Hitler’s leadership and his philosop...

Editorial: Newsom should pave the way for Feinstein resignation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:02:40 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom should pave the way so Dianne Feinstein can make a graceful exit from the U.S. Senate.For the good of the country, for the good of the state’s representation in Congress, for peace within the Democratic Party, Newsom should promise to appoint a caretaker — someone who will not seek election next year — if Feinstein steps down now. And the senator should resign.The stakes are too great for this stalemate to continue. With Democrats barely having the numbers to control the Senate, with President Biden’s judicial nominees stalled because of Feinstein’s absence from the deadlocked Judiciary Committee, and with a partisan fight over raising the debt-ceiling fast approaching, California needs full representation in the upper chamber of Congress.First elected in 1992, Feinstein, 89, is California’s longest-serving U.S. senator. For years there have been mounting questions about her declining mental acuity. But she had shown up for votes. Until this year....

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:02:40 GMT

Draymond Green is suspended for the biggest game of the Warriors’ title defense so far, Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Kings.The NBA handed down the suspension late Tuesday night, about 24 hours after Green stepped on the chest of Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis, who had grabbed Green’s foot after falling during box-out.“I’m disgusted with the NBA this morning,” Stephen A. Smith said Wednesday on First Take. “I’m sick and tired of everybody acting like this is just another game. It’s not just another game, it’s a playoff game. You got to do something far more flagrant than this to get suspended.”The league, in its statement announcing the suspension, cited Green’s “history of unsportsmanlike acts”. NBA head of basketball operations Joe Dumars told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski Wednesday morning: “Here’s what it came down to: excessive and over-the-top actions, condu...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Andrea "Annie" Kritcher has been named to Time magazine's TIME100 list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Kritcher, a design physicist, was recognized for being the principal designer for the December 2022 National Ignition Facility experiment that produced nuclear fusion ignition in a laboratory for the first time. Scientists fired 192 lasers at a target the size of a pencil eraser in the NIF experiment, achieving "energy breakeven," which means it produced more energy than was used in the effort. The first-of-its-kind breakthrough is considered a major step toward a net-zero carbon economy. Meta layoffs begin, impacted employee confirms: ‘More to come’ The laboratory said in a statement the breakthrough "paves the way for advancements in national defense and the future of inertial fusion energy."
