Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation said the eruptions lasted around seven minutes, and spewed ash up to around 20,000 feet into the atmosphere, AFP reported. Ash blanketed several villages surrounding the volcano, which is located on the densely populated Indonesian island of Java, while residents in neighboring areas reported hearing deep rumbling sounds. Local authorities implemented a no-go-zone around Mount Merapi, advising villagers—thousands of whom live on the volcano’s fertile flanks—to stay at least 1....

To investigate this phenomenon, a team led by National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomer Stéphanie Juneau studied the galaxy NGC 7582, located around 70 million light-years from Earth. Not only is this spiral galaxy home to a supermassive black hole at its heart, but that tremendous cosmic event is also greedily consuming material from its immediate surroundings. In the churning discs that surround the feeding black hole, matter is heated, which creates violent and powerful outflows of material or winds, giving rise to a region that astronomers and astrophysicists call active galactic nuclei (AGN)....

For the vast majority of U.S. history, presidential impeachment trials were almost unheard of. The first contentious Senate trial took place in 1868, when former President Andrew Johnson was narrowly acquitted. The next such trial would not take place again until 1999 after former President Bill Clinton was impeached by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives for alleged perjury and obstruction. Clinton was then acquitted by the Senate. Just over 20 years later, Trump was impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives in December 2019....

This marked a continued downtrend, as the numbers for the second day of the hearing were down to roughly 13.5 million viewers. However, there is a significant rise in viewership between broadcasts of the morning testimony and the afternoon sessions. Cumulatively, broadcasts of the morning congressional session drew 11.4 million viewers, while the afternoon session drew 13 million in total. Fox News is apparently the go-to source for viewers, pulling in the highest numbers for the hearings for the third time in a row with their coverage of Tuesday’s proceedings....

The reaction to the report has predictably focused on the budget. Social Security and some other programs are indexed to the CPI. If Congress cuts the adjustment (as it should), future benefit increases will be smaller. Similarly, tax brackets and the personal exemption rise automatically with the CPI. This holds down taxes by making less income taxable or taxing it at lower rates. A lower CPI adjustment would mean slightly higher taxes....

Nearby, Tyson Chandler was seated, dripping with sweat. Chandler was the starting center for Team USA in what became a successful bid for the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, but already he was admiring the work of Davis, who was just 19 at the time and had been the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft two months earlier. “It’s fun to see because he is a young guy who just wants to work,” Chandler said at the time....

Conducted by The Washington Post and ABC News, a new poll examining voter preferences in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, found Biden leading Trump by a significant margin among participants who plan to vote early. Its findings suggested 87 percent of likely voters planning to cast ballots ahead of Election Day support Biden, while 13 percent support Trump. Data reflected more support for Trump among survey respondents who plan to vote on November 3, with 60 percent of that group favoring the incumbent....

Last July, Clara, 45, discovered that her husband was having an affair with his receptionist. When she confronted him, he vowed to break it off–but not without noting, according to Clara’s testimony, that she was “too big” and “pessimistic” compared with his mistress, a “good conversationalist” with a “perfect body.” Clara joined a fitness club, hit the tanning salon and signed up for plastic surgery. She also hired a detective, who several days later tipped her off that David was with the mistress again–at the same hotel where she and David were married....

Harbaugh and Michigan coordinated 11 camps in nine days in seven states earlier in June, and Harbaugh even shed his shirt for one of them.

When Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Minneapolis Police Federation, sent a letter Monday morning to his members calling the unrest in his city a “terrorist movement,” it wasn’t the first time he’d invoked the word “terrorist” as code for “black.” In 2007, the 31-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department made similar remarks about Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison after he was elected to Congress, and in 2016 labeled Black Lives Matter with the same epithet....

There are players who will dazzle you more when they walk into the gym. (Oh, my goodness, Deandre Ayton). There are players who will score more points and grab more rebounds. (Here’s to you, Marvin Bagley). There are players who will more frequently create magic moments with the basketball. (Is Trae Young the best passer college has seen in 10, 20 or 30 years?) There are several worthy candidates for first-team All-America running around, and let us remember what an incredible honor that is, to be considered one of the five best of more than 4,500 Division I players....

The area is made up of about 9,300 people, all of them situated just south of the Minnesota border. Before 2016, Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug and several Olympic wrestlers were the things most likely to generate headlines. And then the county flipped from supporting Democratic President Barack Obama by a 21-point margin in 2012 to a 23-point red wave for then-Republican nominee Donald Trump in 2016. It was the only county to support both candidates by at least a 20-point margin, and the swing was the second largest in the country, 2 points shy of Elliott County, Kentucky....

Travelers eager for refuge from a strife-torn world are increasingly vacationing in the shadow of the Buddha.
