shiny globes of oranges are stacked in pyramids They appear identical and in their seeming perfection a mundane fruit to slice into wedges and pack in a child's lunchbox But as Katie Goh unravels in Foreign Fruit: A Personal History of the Orange "Citrus is fruit that freely betrays," Goh writes "Plant a seed from an orange and any of the fifteen hundred species of the Rutaceae family Humans have stepped in to curb the citrus family's tendency to cross-pollinate by grafting branches from trees they wish to replicate on sturdy rootstock ensuring the consistent production of one kind of fruit But as anyone who has snacked on clementines and tasted differing levels of sweetness and acidity from fruit to fruit knows the orange "is a fruit born with inherent divergence in its genes." It is this unrepentant multiplicity that spurred Goh to look deeper at the orange in Foreign Fruit an elegant hybrid memoir about hybridity that pulls apart mythologies of colonialism inheritance and identity like the segments of a citrus fruit Goh is multiple: She is a queer person of Chinese Malaysian and Irish heritage who was raised in Northern Ireland her family's history comprises "ancestral roots in China that venture towards the equator and then traverse the long roads from east to west to reach Europe." In retracing that history finely woven exploration of the citrus and the self Goh began peeling back layers in March 2021, when a 21-year-old white man killed eight people in shootings at two spas in the Atlanta area Goh received a query from an editor with the subject line "Asian hate crimes?," asking for an 800-word piece on the shootings from her perspective Goh writes that she sat down at her parent's kitchen table near Belfast and ate five oranges "fistfuls of flesh" that left her jaw aching and her body "hot and heavy and full." After a childhood in 99% white Northern Ireland Goh embraced "the opportunity to break into journalism and to cauterize the past" by writing about her racial identity with "convenient" and "neat" narrative arcs had emptied her out like an orange extracted for every last bit of juice and oil a way of writing about herself indirectly through a refracted lens that explodes the clean narratives she once reduced herself to Each chapter braids together citrus's historical path across the globe with Goh's personal travels where sweet oranges were first cultivated and where a teenage Goh visits her father's ancestral village in Fujian seeking "authenticity" and a sense of easy belonging that eludes her Goh then traces how oranges transitioned from native to foreign as they became commodities along the Silk Roads examining this multifarious lineage in parallel to her own family tree which she constructed during a 2019 stay with her grandparents in Kuala Lumpur Trips to the Netherlands and Austria mirror the orange's path through European empires sparking analysis of how colonization impacted her own life from Britain's conquering of Malaysia to the education she received in Northern Ireland that "polished" Britain's complex history "into a tale of empire finely detailed cinematic present-tense descriptions of historical scenes plunge readers into the past showcasing Goh's talents as a prose stylist Foreign Fruit sidesteps a common pitfall of hybrid memoir where the inquiry into the outside world can be less compelling than the personal journey Goh's choice to construct that personal journey around literal journeys hamstrings opportunities for sustained reflection Goh recounts a trip to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the Lunar New Year with family where she learns of yet another mass shooting with multiple Asian victims this time committed by an Asian man in a dance hall in Southern California But her tearful meditations that night are interrupted by the sound of celebratory fireworks cutting her reflections off at the surface While Goh has stopped "crushing [her]self to tell a convenient story," using the orange as a "model for hybrid existence" only gets her so far in Foreign Fruit Yet the journey offers much food for thought and readers will never see supermarket displays of oranges the same way again Kristen Martin is the author of The Sun Won't Come Out Tomorrow: The Dark History of American Orphanhood Her writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine Become an NPR sponsor Print A man struck people with his vehicle Sunday at Canyon RV Park in Anaheim shot at them and then turned the gun on himself were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds and their conditions were unknown A fourth victim sustained minor injuries and remained on scene Orange County sheriff’s public information officer Gerard McCann said it was “not believed to be a terrorist attack but an isolated incident between people who knew each other.” In a video posted on the social media platform X McCann said the suspect appears to have gotten into an altercation with people at the recreational vehicle park left and then returned to assault them with his car and a firearm At the time of the shooting, the park was hosting a four-day event for Volkswagen enthusiasts called “Air Cooled Mardi Gras Picnic Weekend.” Andrea Montano told KTLA-TV that she had been attending the event for years with her family and had never seen anything like what occurred Sunday.

TimesOC For many Florida residents there’s a chance they’ve recently spotted lizards with an orange head and dark blue body scurrying about in their neighborhoods With April kicking off breeding season for many Florida critters these colorful lizards are likely to become much more common in the coming months What some Florida residents might not know is that these lizards — Peters’s rock agama — are an invasive species in the Sunshine State Peters’s rock agama can stick out thanks to their striking colors and size (males can reach up to 1 foot long), though the University of Florida reports that they’re native to East Africa Despite how colorful many of these lizards appear nonbreeding males and young Peters’ rock agama are much more dull-colored rough-scaled bodies,” UF researchers explain The bolder color scheme tends to come about in males during the breeding season While Florida is fraught with other small lizards like geckos, UF researcher Dr. Steve Johnson says there are some ways to tell them apart “Peters’s rock agama are larger than most geckos in Florida (note we only have one native species of gecko),” Johnson explains “The agama have spiny scales and a somewhat rough appearance Peters’s rock agama are active during the day but the geckos are active mainly at night.” While many people in South and Central Florida may have already seen one of these lizards they don’t usually stray far from some kind of hiding place According to experts at the University of Florida they live around a highway overpass and take refuge in the gaps between the concrete construction of the overpass,” the university’s website reads “They are wary of people and quickly flee if approached too closely.” These lizards were first introduced to the Sunshine State via the pet trade in the mid-1970s and they’ve since spread rapidly through the southwest corner of the state The southern areas of Florida tend to have a warmer climate similar to their native East Africa But the colder winters in North Florida and the panhandle limit how far they can spread According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Peters’s rock agama have been sighted in the following counties: the number of reported sightings over the past year has seen a big boom While there have been many sightings down south Central Florida as a whole has seen a relatively low volume the number of sightings in Brevard County has skyrocketed from last year rising from just over 280 in April 2024 to 630 on Friday evening The Peters’s rock agama is considered Class III wildlife, meaning that a permit is required to have them for exhibition or sale, the FWC states a permit is not required to keep one as a personal pet However, the FWC urges owners to not let these lizards loose, as they’re still considered an invasive species. Instead, owners can surrender an unwanted pet agama through the FWC’s Exotic Pet Amnesty Program Johnson explains that these agama don’t pose a risk if eaten by pets “This would most likely just startle the pet “People need to be encouraged to keep their pet cats indoors Johnson said that there has been little research on the Peters’s rock agama though it appears “unlikely” that they’ve had any major impacts “This is mainly because they only occur in suburban areas that are dominated by people and development,” the University of Florida says there is little potential for Peters’s rock agama to compete with native species for food or space.” Despite that, UF experts suggest that they might have the “potential to negatively impact imperiled butterflies” in South Florida and the Florida Keys they are not native and should not be here,” Johnson states Researchers are still trying to gain more understanding of the impact of nonnative species in the state they rely on “citizen scientists” to help identify when ne w populations spring up or when existing populations expand Florida residents who spot a Peters’s rock agama can report the sighting by clicking here Get today’s headlines in minutes with Your Florida Daily: Copyright 2024 by WKMG ClickOrlando - All rights reserved Show Comments Load More the impacts of the war on victims of the U.S Exhibit in the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnamese afflicted by Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants April 30 marked 50 years since the end of the American War in Vietnam which killed an estimated 3.3 million Vietnamese people tens of thousands of Laotians and more than 58,000 U.S Laotian and Cambodian people; Vietnamese Americans; and U.S They continue to suffer the devastating consequences of Agent Orange The United States used Agent Orange as a weapon of war military sprayed toxins that contained large quantities of dioxin in order to destroy food supplies and improve visibility for the U.S military by killing broad swathes of vegetation throughout southern Vietnam many people have been born with congenital anomalies — disabling changes in the formation of the spinal cord This remains the largest deployment of herbicidal warfare in history Air Force /Wikimedia Commons/ Public Domain) the Nixon administration promised to contribute $3 billion for compensation and postwar reconstruction of Vietnam has funded the cleanup of two of the largest dioxin-contaminated “hotspots” and there has been some remuneration for U.S there has been none for the Vietnamese people the intended victims of the deadly spraying Tlaib also introduced The Victims of Agent Orange Act of 2025 which provides benefits for children of male U.S veterans who served in Vietnam affected by congenital anomalies; these children are unprotected by current law which only covers congenital anomalies for children of women veterans The bill also supports greater research into Agent Orange-related health issues and directs a health assessment and provision of assistance for affected Vietnamese American communities As we mark 50 years after the United States’ withdrawal from Vietnam it is time to meet our moral and legal obligations to heal the wounds inflicted by these atrocities.” Many continue to suffer the devastating consequences of Agent Orange the deadliest chemical known to humankind.” The legislative package is co-sponsored by Reps Lateefah Simon (D-CA) and Shri Thanedar (D-MI) The bills are endorsed by the Quincy Institute Vietnam Agent Orange Relief & Responsibility Campaign (VAORRC) Tlaib speaking at an event on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis opposing a local pipeline construction project “For there to be any justice for the war crimes committed in Vietnam the United States must devote itself to repair: by cleaning these ongoing Agent Orange contamination sites investing in the medical care of those affected VAORRC, for which I serve as co-coordinator, assisted Tlaib in drafting the bills. In the congresswoman’s press release thanked Tlaib for introducing this important legislation “The United States government used Agent Orange as an instrument of war from 1961-1971 on Vietnam As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Vietnam we celebrate these two pieces of legislation that promote healing for the American people and the Vietnamese people harmed and cleanup of the contaminated land in Vietnam.” “The Southeast Asian communities have victims of Agent Orange and were invisible to the public so far These are very important acts for our communities in the U.S to support and it takes great courage for Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to show this example of solidarity.” Between 2,100,000 and 4,800,000 Vietnamese and tens of thousands of Americans were exposed to Agent Orange/dioxin during the spraying operations Many other Vietnamese people were or continue to be exposed to Agent Orange/dioxin through contact with the environment and food that was contaminated Many offspring of those who were exposed have congenital anomalies third and fourth generation victims continue to suffer “Between 2,100,000 and 4,800,000 Vietnamese and tens of thousands of Americans were exposed to Agent Orange/dioxin during the spraying operations.” The Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes 19 diseases and illnesses to be associated with the spraying and use of Agent Orange by the U.S monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) respiratory cancers and soft-tissue sarcomas Valley of A Luoi: Not far from the road to Ho Chi Minh City holds her 14-year old physically and mentally handicapped son in front of a billboard denouncing the defoliation operation “Ranch Hand” at the former military airport A Sho Photographer Alexis Duclos says Kan Lay understood the picture was taken as part of a photo project on Agent Orange and she and her son posed voluntarily to show to the world the effects of chemical weapons such as agent orange  (Alexis Duclos /Wikimedia Commons /CC BY-SA 3.0) In 2009, I served as one of seven judges from three continents on the International Peoples’ Tribunal of Conscience in Support of the Vietnamese Victims of Agent Orange in Paris The panel heard two days of testimony from 27 witnesses Some had visible disabilities due to their exposure to Agent Orange/dioxin who was exposed to Agent Orange while serving in the Army of South Vietnam carried barrels of the chemicals in the jungle His sons were unable to walk or function normally Their limbs “curled up” and they could only crawl Nga Tran is a French Vietnamese woman who worked in Vietnam as a war correspondent military began spraying chemical defoliants and a large cloud of the agent enveloped her She could not tolerate physical contact with anyone She remained 6.6 pounds — her birth weight — until she died at age 17 months Tran’s second daughter suffers from alpha thalassemia a genetic blood disorder rarely seen in Asia Tran saw a woman who gave birth to a “ball” with no human form Many children are born without brains;

The U.S. and Vietnam conduct $160 billion in annual commerce And while the Vietnamese people commemorate 50 years since the end of the American war in their country the Trump administration has ordered its senior diplomats in Vietnam to avoid participation in the commemoration events Just compensation for victims of Agent Orange is a moral imperative People who support Tlaib’s legislation should contact their congressional representatives and urge them to sign on as additional co-sponsors Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law dean of the People’s Academy of International Law and past president of the National Lawyers Guild She sits on the national advisory boards of Veterans For Peace and Assange Defense representative to the continental advisory council of the Association of American Jurists Her books include Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal This article was first published by Truthout The views expressed in this article may or may not reflect those of Consortium News Mankind will not survive long enough to ever see America apologize OR compensate all the pain and misery it caused…and continues to cause Be careful America…you’ll end up reaping what you continue to sow And US monsters have been and are carrying on with their murderous activities world wide in the pursuit of profit..see today’s dirty war against Russia in Ukraine and genocidal crimes against Palestinian people not to forget the installation of a terror regime in Syria currently murdering Syrian population…created it just goes on and on without remorse but with impunity because no one has been able to stop them let alone force justice upon them..lest we forget Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

STAFF LOGIN It is not every day that an owl sporting a vivid orange hue appears in the wild Bird enthusiasts have been left wide-eyed by this unusual discovery which hints at a puzzle hidden in the bird’s genetic blueprint Kevin McGraw, biology professor at Michigan State University (MSU) became intrigued by this rare coloration once photos surfaced He notes that many color variations in birds can be inherited through genes that affect pigment production or be caused by environmental factors “I went home feeling on cloud nine because I worked so hard and put so many hours into this owl,” said wildlife photographer Julie Maggert who spent days patiently trying to capture a still image Orange is not a shade people typically associate with the snowy owl a bird usually clad in white with subtle dark bars Some scientists point to genetic quirks called mutations as possible triggers for its unexpected look Genes involved in melanin pathways usually shape plumage color “This animal got exposed probably to something unique and mom could have passed that on to the young,” stated Kevin McGraw at the end of his observation Orange feathers raise questions about toxins or pollutants in the owl’s habitat Experts in avian genetics argue that stressors such as chemicals can upset normal pigment formation These disturbances may lead to unexpected hues that stand out in stark contrast to a snowy background The orange coloration likely stems from altered production of pheomelanin a pigment that usually creates rusty or reddish hues in birds Unlike eumelanin pheomelanin can become more prominent when environmental stressors disrupt the balance between pigment pathways According to studies on bird pigmentation pollutants or oxidative stress may flip genetic switches that normally suppress pheomelanin in snowy owls colors that are typically hidden can appear in full view Seeing a bird so far removed from its typical colors prompts both awe and curiosity People wonder if this color shift impacts the owl’s camouflage or interactions with fellow owls “It may be a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Maggert at the end of an interview Bird-watchers remain excited to add such a one-of-a-kind sighting to their logs.  Researchers believe the owl’s bright orange coloring might do more than turn heads – it could make survival harder With its natural winter-white camouflage disrupted the bird may be more visible to predators and less effective at sneaking up on prey “This animal might find it harder to forage or avoid being targeted,” noted Kevin McGraw the unusual hue could come at a price in the wild Researchers have long analyzed the genotype to phenotype connection in birds to understand how coloring evolves This orange snowy owl highlights how a single event – like a genetic glitch – can make plumage stray from tradition Observing exotic colors can also broaden our grasp of color variation in other species remind us that nature often defies straightforward expectations Creamsicle’s discovery is sparking new interest in studying color mutations in wild bird populations Researchers now have a fresh reason to investigate how often these mutations occur and whether environmental triggers like pollution play a recurring role Some scientists suggest this bird might help uncover links between pigment genes and external stressors in cold-climate species It’s a reminder that rare sightings can push science to ask better questions and dig deeper into nature’s surprises Amateur photographers and bird-watchers often spot rare traits before scientists do Maggert’s dedication shows how community observations can lead to important discoveries in wildlife biology Researchers encourage birders to document odd sightings with clear photos can become useful data points in long-term studies on bird health and genetics Scientists will continue to test feathers for chemical signatures or unusual pigment pathways They aim to confirm whether external pollutants sparked the change or if it is purely genetic the orange snowy owl underscores how slight genetic changes can produce big surprises so does our desire to preserve habitats that allow such remarkable birds to thrive The study is published in Science Like what you read?

Share your photos] Our News 6 team spoke with OCPS Chief Communications Officer Scott Howat and asked him to explain what’s really going on from the district’s perspective “The non-reappointment process happens every year and it certainly causes some concern anxiety amongst our teachers and understandably.” Howat explained that the non-reappointment process is something the district goes through annually as adjustments are made based on enrollment and they figure out how many teachers they need for how many students they need Howat said there were 960 non-reappointments there were less non-reappointments,” said Howat “And almost half of those non-appointments are temporary contracts a long-term leave type situation where a teacher’s out on maternity leave or is having surgery and so those temporary contract teachers would be non-reappointed anyway.” The district provided even more context in an email to our News 6 team Thursday afternoon They say 374 of the non-reappointments this year are in fact temporary teachers who were hired to cover for long-term leave (maternity/FMLA) “It’s something that really does take place every year It’s part of our yearly budget cycle and process when it comes to the reappointment or non-reappointment process I think there’s a little bit more of a magnifying glass on it because of what’s happening both at the federal and state level when it comes to funding and it comes to enrollment numbers,” said Howat the president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association said the anticipated under-enrollment is a “direct consequence of the state’s reckless expansion of school vouchers” in a post on Facebook McCracken also said this about the teachers now left in limbo with concerns about their families and the future “These are educators who have dedicated their lives to serving our children and no support for what comes next,” McCracken said Howat said the district hosted a virtual job fair Wednesday just for those teachers that received non-reappointment letters and will be hosting more over the next few weeks “It gave them an opportunity to interview with principals who are in need of positions at every level we’ll continue to do that in order to ensure that all of our vacancies are filled for next year,” said Howat “We do want to make sure that we’re clear that we do want to focus on those teachers first that were non-reappointed.” the projected number of vacancies for the 2025-26 school year is between 450 and 500 A spokesperson said that number is “fluid and can change with additional retirements or resignations.” Howat said as the school board discusses the budget this month they will consider the loss of students and dollars from enrollment as well as the loss of federal funds that they received during the COVID-19 pandemic “We’re pushing right now really hard for kindergarten and voluntary pre-K registrations in order to try to ensure that parents aren’t waiting to enroll their children because the decisions on teachers are being made now,” said Howat the more parents that are enrolling their children early ensures us that we can start to finalize those numbers at the school level.” or homeschool options and encourage them to re-enroll They will pay a consultant nearly $1,000 per student to help bring families back to traditional public schools When asked about criticism the district has received Howat encouraged people to look at the contract “The contract is a performance-based contract would only get paid for every student they bring back to Orange County Public Schools the district would net over $8,000 per student that would be able to pay for quite a few teachers,” said Howat “That is really an initiative to go out and to bring back those students those 3,100 students that we’re potentially losing and ensure that we are shoring up our student population so that we can save teacher positions.” (KBSI) – Flooding in Kentucky has entered its 31st day with multiple roads closed due to high water 126 is closed at mile marker 4.7 due to water flowing over the road Motorists are advised to check the Kentucky Transportation District 2 Facebook page for updates and to be aware of traffic control signage indicating road closures the Lyon County Highway Maintenance crew plans to temporarily close a section of Ky 810 South on May 5 to replace a cross drain Route E in New Madrid County will be reduced to one lane on May 5-8 for pavement repairs Motorists should check for updates and plan their routes accordingly © 2025 KBSI FOX23 News Cape Girardeau News | Paducah News The Syracuse Orange have been super-sizing the offensive line lately and that trend continued with the newest 2026 commitment Shemaj Henry, a 6’8” 330 pound tackle from Chester Pennsylvania committed to the Orange last week.

one recipe appears in the desserts chapter The second adjective in the title “Glorified Orange Rice” refers to this salad’s mandarin oranges and flavor of gelatin Only a bit of prep work is required — cooking the rice and whipping the cream Some recipes specify pre-made frozen whipped topping Even though I imagine I could use a pre-made substitute “Glorified Orange Rice” is simple to mix together and adding the rice and marshmallows (I used mini marshmallows it had “started to thicken,” as the recipe indicated Glorified rice is an upper Midwestern delicacy Cecily Wong and Dylan Thuras’s “Gastro Obscura” calls it a Minnesotan retro icon one still available in the region’s deli cases Lutherans claim it — it’s actually in the title of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson’s “They Glorified Mary…We Glorified Rice: A Catholic—Lutheran Lexicon.” There’s no denying it’s popular with the Lutheran set undoubtedly because of the many Lutheran Scandinavian immigrants who arrived on the Northern Plains in the 19th century including one for leftover rice pudding mixed with whipped cream They arrived at an opportune time — the heyday of American salads As Laura Shapiro notes in the aptly named “Perfection Salad: Women and Cooking at the Turn of the Century,” professional and home cooks created salads out of almost every type of food leading to the expansive definition we still use today Carrie Young describes the glory days of glorified rice in western North Dakota in her memoir “Prairie Cooks: Glorified Rice and Other Reminiscences,” explaining that its economy and elegance made it a favorite of her mother and neighbors during the lean 1930s and a small amount became abundant when cooked while the women of Young’s community adored it the men abhorred “what they considered nothing but out-and-out mush,” insubstantial fluff unable to provide the fuel of “manly” dishes like meat and potatoes reflecting the image of frailty attributed to the women who made them.” And Jello marketed in its early promotional materials as “light” and low in calories yet lush and creamy with gooey marshmallow and whipped cream The combination of textures in each bite is remarkable as the flaky coconut and chewy rice also add a satisfying Glorified rice truly capitalizes on the advantages of grains I think it’s ready to be rebranded as a sweet grain bowl Anyone who has enjoyed a Greek salad full of tomatoes onions and cucumbers and topped with a slab of salty feta cheese knows that And comic Leanne Morgan reminds us in her new comedy special that “light” gelatins can be chock full of sugar Orange announces the appointment of Jérôme Hénique replacing Jean-François Fallacher.Jérôme Hénique will remain a member of the group's executive committee and report to Christel Heydemann He will also join the Board of Directors of Orange Middle East & Africa (Orange MEA) on the same date.He will be replaced in his current role by Yasser Shaker in agreement with the Board of Directors of Orange MEA Yasser Shaker will also join the telecoms operator's executive committee.Copyright (c) 2025 CercleFinance.com Monday - Friday 9am-12pm / 2pm-6pm GMT + 1 All financial news and data tailored to specific country editions satellite fleet operator Eutelsat on May 5 said CEO Eva Berneke was leaving the company after after 53 months on the job and that former Orange France Chief Executive Jean-François Fallacher would replace her as of June 1 The move comes as Paris-based Eutelsat faces a near-term financial challenge of financing both an extension of its first-generation OneWeb LEO broadband constellation and the start of OneWeb Gen 2 To view the entire article, become a subscriber de Selding is Co-Founder and Editor of SpaceIntelReport.com He started SpaceIntelReport in 2017 after 26 years as the Paris Bureau Chief for SpaceNews where he covered the commercial satellite launch and the international space businesses Click HERE to check out ENSCO Insights Delivering breaking news and analysis on the topics and trends that will define the future of the global space industry @2021 - Space Intel Report.
