California Grad Students Won a Historic Strike. UC San Diego Is Striking Back With Misconduct Allegations and Arrests.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

On May 5, as Chancellor Pradeep Khosla began his opening remarks at the 44th University of California, San Diego Alumni Awards at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, some 60 academic worker activists took the stage carrying a cardboard sign. They were there to present him with UC’s “Most Overpaid Worker” award; Khosla had received a $500,000 raise while, the union says, the university was simultaneously refusing to fully implement their recently ratified collective bargaining agreement. Khosla quickly left the stage amid chants of “Pradeep, Pradeep, the rent is too steep!” When the police arrived, the graduate students had relocated outdoors to the sidewalk where, separated by a glass wall, they continued chanting their demands: “What do we want? Our promised wages. When do we want them? Now!”While the action ended peacefully, just over a month later, the university charged 59 graduate student workers from the event’s registration list with “physical assault,” “phy...

¿Qué es el Prime Day de Amazon y por qué es en julio?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

(CNN) — Amazon Prime Day está de regreso a partir de este martes 11 de julio. Pero un par de días al azar en julio, de hecho, se sienten un poco… al azar. He aquí por qué Amazon tomó la decisión aparentemente sin sentido de lanzar lo que podría ser uno de sus días de mayores ventas a mediados del verano boreal.Amazon celebra el Prime Day en julio de cada año para aumentar las cifras de ventas durante lo que suelen ser meses lentos de verano en Estados Unidos. También ayuda a Amazon a promover un comienzo temprano del período de compras para el regreso a la escuela y la universidad, según el analista de JPMorgan Doug Anmuth.Amazon probó su Prime Day inaugural en julio de 2015 para celebrar el vigésimo aniversario de la empresa. Diseñó el día para replicar el Viernes Negro  (Black Friday) para Amazon, pero contó con más ofertas que la tradicional jornada de compras de noviembre. “Hazte a un lado, Black Friday, conoce el Prime Day”, dijo Amazon en un comunicado ...

Tensión, interrupciones y argumentos sin contrastar: las claves del debate electoral en España

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

(CNN Español) — Cien minutos de debate, cuatro bloques temáticos y dos minutos de oro para cerrar el encuentro. Bajo este eje estructural, los espectadores de los medios de comunicación de la corporación Atresmedia asistieron con atención al debate electoral que enfrentó este lunes al presidente del Gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez, y al líder opositor Alberto Núñez Feijóo.El encuentro había generado mucha expectación en días anteriores no solo porque era la única oportunidad de ver enfrentados a los principales candidatos a la Presidencia del Gobierno de España durante la campaña electoral, sino porque se presentaba como la ocasión perfecta para que los electores conocieran un poco mejor las propuestas de cada uno para las elecciones generales del 23 de julio. No obstante, ese objetivo quedó desdibujado dado el tono bronco y solapado del debate.En el primer bloque, donde el asunto a abordar era la economía del país, una de las frases más escuchadas fue “déjeme hablar”. Quizás,...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Stellantis is urging the owners of about 29,000 older Dodge Ram pickups to stop driving them after a passenger was killed by an exploding Takata air bag inflator.The company says owners of the 2003 model year pickups should contact a dealer or the company to find out if their trucks are part of a massive Takata recall. Stellantis says the trucks shouldn’t be driven until repairs are made. The company says the person was killed in a May 13 crash that caused the air bags to inflate. It wouldn’t say where the crash happened or identify the victim. The person ”succumbed to a serious injury consistent with those observed in previous Takata inflator failures,” Stellantis said in a prepared statement Tuesday.The death is the 26th in the U.S. since May of 2009, and more than 30 people have been killed worldwide. The May death is believed to be the first person killed by an exploding front passenger air bag inflator. The rest of the deaths were drivers.Takata...

A fire destroyed millions of veterans’ records. 50 years later, families are still seeking answers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

The apocalyptic scene is still burned into Mike Buttery’s memory 50 years later: Black smoke billowing from the top floor of the Military Personnel Records Center; bits of paper wafting through the air as dozens of firefighters tried desperately to stem the inferno.“They’d hit it (the paper) with the water, and the water would knock it back up in the air, and then it would float around some more out there,” Buttery, then a janitor at the center, recalls of the wind-whipped paper swirling around the massive six-story building outside Saint Louis.As he watched from a safe remove, Buttery could only think of the millions of veterans — like himself — whose records were being consumed and “how in the world would they get their benefits.”“It immediately went through my mind that those people were losing whatever history there was of their of their service,” Buttery, who served with the Army in northern Vietnam, said during a recent interview from his suburban St. Louis homeThe July 12, 19...

5 summertime tips for a pet-safe season

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:16 GMT

This content was written by Dr. Janet Weistock, veterinarian at Rocky Gorge Animal Hospital.As summer approaches and the weather gets hotter, why not take the opportunity to get your pets (and yourself) outside. More activity is great for your furry friend, but there are some precautions and things to be aware of during the warmer temperatures.Keep cool. Be aware of the outside temperatures and humidity as our pets can overheat just like we can. Animals will not always stop playing just because they get hot, so it is up to us pet parents to monitor them and prevent overheating. The normal temperature for dogs is 100-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, so if your pet’s temperature (taken rectally) is over 104, start to cool them down by wetting them with cool water, then get them to the nearest veterinarian as soon as possible. Also, do not leave your dog in a car unattended. The temperature inside your vehicle can rise almost 20º F in just 10 minutes. In 20 minutes, it can rise almost 30º F a...
