Footage captured the moment Richard Blose, 40, was cuffed by officers from the Melbourne police department outside a house in Cocoa, wearing no clothes. Video, shot from a helicopter, shows Blose stepping out of the car and lying face down on the grass with his legs in the air, on December 15, at around 8am. Reports from Fox35 Orlando claim Blose jumped a fence at a car dealership, Fiat of Melbourne, before going into a paint shop....

Following a disappointing election day for her party, where the Democrats have lost at least five seats in the caucus so far, the 80-year-old has said she intends to stay put in the role she has held since 2002. As of Friday morning, Democrats had reeled in 208 seats in the house, while Republicans had 193. Republicans have gained six so far. House Democrats will formally start the process of choosing their new leaders on 18 November....

Pelosi answered several questions Sunday morning on ABC’s This Week, including one submitted in real time by the president himself, which saw her defending the House’s case against Trump. She did not rule out a future subpoena to have former national security adviser John Bolton testify in addition to her not excluding the possibility the House may file more articles of impeachment if the Senate botches the trial. The House speaker defended her controversial decision to hold onto the articles of impeachment, saying it “produced a positive result” of demanding documents and witnesses from a reluctant Republican Senate....

The footage was shown for the first time on Thursday amid the committee’s final public hearing on the insurrection. Clips of Pelosi on the phone with law enforcement and other federal employees to usher in backup for Capitol police were included among a compilation of rioters demanding entrance into the Senate chambers. Early on in the video, shared to Twitter by The Recount, Pelosi is shown speaking to staffers in an undisclosed location after the Senate floor was put on lockdown....

On Friday evening, the House passed the economic relief bill, called the American Rescue Plan, largely along party lines in a 219-212 vote. The sprawling package included $1.4 billion to strengthen transit rail infrastructure such as extending a line from San Jose to Santa Clara—known as the Bay Area Rapid Transit—and $1.5 million to fund the international crossing connecting the U.S. to Ontario, Canada. Pelosi’s office told CNN on Tuesday that those provisions will be removed as Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has decided that they cannot be included....

As both Joe Biden and Xi Jinping jostle for power in their respective capitals and for influence in the wider Indo-Pacific, the House speaker’s plans are quickly becoming the first real test of the “guardrails” the American president has been trying to establish with his Chinese counterpart for the last 18 months. Experts told Newsweek the Taiwanese government is right to keep a low profile—Taipei is yet to receive Pelosi’s itinerary, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said—but few can safely predict the scale of the fallout that might ensue if Pelosi lands in the island’s capital in August as part of her bipartisan congressional delegation’s wider trip across Asia....

The House is due to vote Thursday on a resolution that formalizes the current impeachment inquiry, setting out its scope and terms. Republican lawmakers had accused Democrats of mishandling the inquiry by not putting it to a vote. Trump allegedly pressured Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open potentially damaging and spurious investigations into the Democratic Party and former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate for the 2020 nomination, for his own political benefit....

A parent who works part- or full-time may hire a nanny to stop by regularly to take care of their children. A parent may hire a babysitter only sporadically or for only a brief shift every week. The exact expectations for nannies and sitters depends on the needs of the parents, but generally, nannies carry a bit more responsibility than sitters. Parents may hire local teenagers to watch their children for an evening, and while they may hire the same sitter multiple times (if they can), families usually only hire one nanny....

A summary of the team’s work was published in the journal Nano Letters in June, suggestion the technology has potential to be a major tool in the fight against COVID-19. “Cellular nanosponges have shown great promise in inhibiting the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 and protecting host cells,” Liangfang Zhang, PhD, an associate professor of nanoengineering at the University of California San Diego who leads the team that created the cellular nanosponges, tells Verywell....

The forward, who joined Juve for €90 million in July 2016, breaking the Italian transfer record in the process, endured a difficult game in a 1-1 draw at Napoli in Serie A last weekend. Higuain did not record a single touch in the opposition box in that match, but he struck twice against his former club on Wednesday to send Juve through to the Coppa Italia final despite a 3-2 defeat in Naples....

These two NSAIDs also have differences. For example, naproxen offers long-lasting relief and is taken twice daily. On the other hand, ibuprofen is a shorter-acting anti-inflammatory that is taken every four to six hours. They are both available as pills and liquid capsules, but ibuprofen is also available in liquid form. Naproxen is safe for anyone age 12 and over, whereas small doses of ibuprofen can be given to children under age 12, including infants....

During the internship last year, Wolf Cukier was tasked with examining variations in the brightness of stars within data captured by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS for short. “I worked with [NASA scientist] Veselin Kostov and with him I worked on finding a circumbinary planet in the TESS data,” Cukier told Newsweek. “It was exciting because 1) I was actually able to do research that summer, which is cool, and 2) I was able to work in an area of science that I really enjoy....

One such lake is Big Trail Lake in Alaska. “This lake wasn’t here 50 years ago,” said Katey Walter Anthony, an ecologist at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in a NASA statement. “Years ago, the ground was about 3 meters taller and it was a spruce forest.” These thermokarst lakes are found across the Arctic in North America and North Europe and Asia. Thermokarst lakes form after the frozen water in the ground layer melts, causing the ground surface to collapse and fill with water, creating a lake....

Judging by the size of many NASCAR fans — and the wide variety of concessions — that’s easy. It’s got to be eating. MORE: Earnhardt tops 215 at Michigan | Power Rankings | Darlington’s big challenge It stands to reason then that maybe NASCAR fans might also enjoy watching people eat. Or compete at eating. Or an eating race. Three NASCAR events will play host to competitive eating contests this year as participants attempt to qualify for the annual July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest at Nathan’s Famous on Brooklyn’s Coney Island....

Take a look at the impact. MORE: Live updates from the Auto Club 400 Kenseth walked out of the car under his power and was taken to Auto Club Speedway’s infield care center where he was later cleared.

Drivers’ starting positions for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 (7 p.m. ET; NBC, TSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), the final race of the 2021 regular season, were based on four factors: Driver’s finishing position from the previous race (25 percent) Car owner’s finishing position from the previous race (25 percent) Team owner points ranking (35 percent) Fastest lap from the previous race (15 percent) NASCAR is conducting qualifying for eight Cup Series races in the 2021 season....

This was Truex’s first win of 2018, and it was the first time a driver has won the pole, swept all three stages and won the race. The No. 78 driver stayed at the head of the pack for much of Sunday’s race. In Stage 3 he began pulling away from Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch with about 20 laps to go. Truex eventually built up an 11.68-second lead, which marks the largest margin of victory in a race since 2009....

Four months later, a few things had changed but other things stayed the same. The 45 returned to victory lane at the track Sunday, but this time, a different driver was in the 23XI Racing car. Bubba Wallace — who took over the seat for the series playoffs as Busch continued to recover from a concussion — put together a big Stage 3 for his second career Cup Series win....

The 2017 Cup Series winner is the two-time defending champion at Kentucky Speedway and there is zero reason to think he won’t have a chance to win this week. He has already won four times this year — including once at a 1.5-mile track in Charlotte — and he will be the man to beat. This week is pretty simple: everyone is chasing Truex, but firmly expect Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski to threaten to win, as well....
