| Florida Moves To Arm Teachers After School Massacre Posted: 28 Feb 2018 04:35 AM PST  Florida's Republican-controlled state House and Senate advanced bills this week that would train teachers to carry guns in classrooms, advancing GOP calls for more weapons in schools following the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. President Donald Trump last week floated the idea of arming up to 20 percent of teachers, proposing bonuses for educators who undergo training. Law enforcement groups and teacher organizations strongly oppose the idea.

| US evangelical following still high as champion Billy Graham honored Posted: 01 Mar 2018 08:55 AM PST  As the Reverend Billy Graham lies in honor in the US Capitol, the wave of evangelical Christianity launched by "America's Pastor" is rolling along while other branches of the Christian faith have been bleeding followers.

| Russia releases chill video of Florida getting nuked, taunts Elon Musk Posted: 01 Mar 2018 07:03 AM PST  There's nothing to see here, folks, just Russian overlord Vladimir Putin showing off an "invincible" nuclear missile destroying Florida. Oh, and the editor of one of Russia's most notorious media outlets is using it to mock Elon Musk. Just another day in 2018. SEE ALSO: An ad industry group nominated Russia's election hack for all the awards Taking his role of real-life Bond villain to new heights, Putin used his annual state-of-the-nation speech to the Russian Federal Assembly on Thursday to brag about the country's new nuclear weapons he claimed could hit any point on the globe and would render any defense "useless." Seriously, look at this thing. It's like something out of a comic book (assuming it exists). And taking that supervillain analogy one-step further, Putin's speech was full of bombast. Per NBC News' translation: That's frightening enough as it is but as Gizmodo notes, the video showing off this new super-weapon uses a not-so-innocuous target on which to rain down its radioactive terror: the state of Florida. Yep, that's the central portion of the state, including Tampa Bay, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and (of course) Palm Beach, home of Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. Central Florida, doomed peninsulaImage: Screenshot/RT Sure, it looks nice right now...Image: Screenshot/Google MapsTL;DR, Putin is out here dropping casual threats of nuclear armageddon on the part of the country where Trump likes to go golf and solicit gun control advice from country club members. This can't be good for the pair's complex bromance. You can watch Putin's complete two-hour speech here. If this seems familiar, it's pretty similar to the same stunt that North Korea pulled almost two years ago when it shared a propaganda video that included the nuclear obliteration of Washington, D.C. Cool. As if that's not enough, Margarita Simonovna Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT, the controversial Moscow-based news outlet that draws some funding from the Russian government, decided to celebrate Russia's new nuclear might by mocking Elon Musk. Илон Маск, май эсс. — Маргарита Симоньян (@M_Simonyan) March 1, 2018 RT editor-in-chief watching Putin video presentation on new strategic weapons: "Elon Musk, my ass." @elonmusk https://t.co/QEzlmfdNmu — Carl Schreck (@CarlSchreck) March 1, 2018 Because threatening to obliterate the home of Mickey Mouse wasn't enough, Russia's out here insulting America's high-tech entrepreneurs? What did Elon ever do to you, RT? Nothing to see here. Everything is fine. Though, if reality TV star Donald Trump can be president, than an action-hero showdown between Musk and Putin isn't really that far off, right?

| The ice on Lake Michigan has turned blue. Here's why. Posted: 28 Feb 2018 03:52 PM PST  The ice on portions of Michigan's Great Lakes has turned blue, but don't worry, there's a perfectly good reason why. The phenomenon is common on glaciers, but not so much on large swathes of lake ice. It's happening where Lake Michigan meets Lake Huron, at a place called the Straits of Mackinac. There, fat slabs and mounds of cracked blue ice have collected near the shorelines. Local photographer Tori Burley captured the image above. SEE ALSO: Gas-filled vessel barrels solo through pathetic Arctic sea ice during dead of winter The ice, however, is not actually turning blue. The color is a result of the way sunlight is bouncing off this particular ice, explained Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, in an interview. Sometimes, weather conditions — such as a lack of high winds — allow water to freeze slowly and evenly, resulting in ice composed of large crystals (unlike snow, which is formed quickly and made up of small crystals). When light hits these big ice crystals, it can travel deep into the structures (compare this to snow, wherein light hits a sharp edge and reflects off of it right away, resulting in blinding white). When the light travels deeper into slowly formed ice, some of the red wavelengths of sunlight — which is the longest wavelength of visible light — get absorbed into the ice structure. The blue, which is the shortest wavelength of visible light, bounces back out, meet our eyes, and results in a deep aqua color. Sunlight reflecting off the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, which makes the water look an aqua color.Image: nasaBut this isn't the complete story. Blue ice is also composed of relatively pure, untainted water, which allows the blue reflection to be so vivid and dominant. "It's a tribute to how clean the upper surface of Lake Michigan is," said Scambos, adding, "At least somewhere in Lake Michigan."

Posted: 28 Feb 2018 04:22 PM PST  WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump convened lawmakers at the White House for something unusual in today's politics: a substantive, unscripted discussion of a contentious issue in which the president broke with party orthodoxy, all on camera. In the made-for-TV event on Wednesday, Trump struck a moderate tone and encouraged a group of Republicans and Democrats to act quickly on a comprehensive gun reform package. "I thought it was fascinating television, and it was surreal," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), who sat next to the president, told reporters afterwards.

Xi and his economic team have pledged to tackle China's ballooning debt, move the economy towards sustainable consumption-based growth and taken aim at corruption endemic in the Communist Party.

The ruling African National Congress (ANC) has long promised reforms to redress racial disparities in land ownership and the subject remains highly emotive more than two decades after the end of apartheid.

| The 9 best fridge freezers for 2018 Posted: 01 Mar 2018 03:22 AM PST  Fridge freezers are a kitchen essential, and a modern-day staple. But they come in various sizes and prices - and nowadays with numerous features - so finding the best fridge freezer for you can be tricky. Whether you're moving, looking for an upgrade or your current appliance is on its last legs, finding the right fridge freezer for your kitchen can be a tough task. With prices ranging from £300 into the thousands, you don't want to fork out on the wrong fridge. To find the best fridge freezer for you, you should first consider size. Make sure you get the dimensions right, and bear in mind a refrigerator needs space for the air to circulate. Another key aspect is the fridge-freezer ratio. If you buy lots of fresh food, a larger fridge is necessary; if ready meals or bulk cooking is more your thing, look for more freezer drawers. Also to look out for: sufficient space (a which.co.uk survey found some fridge freezers had 22pc less space than advertised); glass shelves and plastic draws for extra visibility; and humidity-controlled salad crisper draws to keep your veg fresh. High-tech additions like water dispensers and frost-free freezers are useful, but will up the price. As it's one of the most important appliances in your home, it's worth spending a little extra time researching the different brands and models so you can find one that best suits your needs. To make things a little bit easier, with the help of Good Housekeeping Institute, we've selected some of the best fridge freezers available at the moment. All are freestanding, but for the best integrated fridge freezers (situated within cupboards), try Beko, AEGand Bosch. 1.

Temperatures can also be remotely controlled by tablet or smartphone through the free Hoover Wizard App, which is easy to set-up and use. There's a Super Freezing function for freezing large quantities of food quickly, which is easy to set. It also has a bright internal light for visibility and the door ajar alarm sounds after one minute, to remind you to close it. It has two spacious salad drawers, one slightly deeper than the other. One of the best American fridge freezers out there, the Hoover Wizard regulates temperature well, even when doors were left ajar, and it has a low energy consumption. Telegraph rating: 9/10 Buy now 2. Beko CFP1691W 50/50 fridge freezer £319.99, Currys PC World A sleek, spacious and affordable fridge freezer from household appliance specialists Beko. The white fridge has reversible doors, allowing it to adapt to different kitchen layouts. It also has one large salad drawer and an internal bottle rack. As a 50/50 fridge freezer, it's ideal for those who need more freezer space. The bright LED light at the top of the fridge illuminates the compartment well too.

It also has a non-plumbed water dispenser on the outside of the fridge, a spacious salad drawer - but no internal bottle rack. It features both a Super Cool and Super Freeze function for chilling/freezing large quantities of food as quickly as possible, which are easy to set. There's a bright internal light for great visibility, and a door ajar alarm that sounds after two minutes, to remind you to close it.

Smeg FAB30RFC 70/30 fridge freezer £1,153, Currys Pc World This cream retro Smeg fridge freezer looks incredibly stylish and old-school, with its curved edges and freezer on top. It looks great, but is it any good? First things first, it has a 70/30 split, so is right for those who don't need much freezer space. But the fridge fits plenty of food. There's a chrome wine rack, and a bottle retainer. It may look like it's from the 1950s, but this Smeg appliance has all the latest technology. A fast cooling system ensures newly added items drop to the right temperature as soon as possible. Drawers are clear, so you can see everything, and the freezer has a rapid-freeze function. With its A++ energy rating, it's also a cost-effective fridge freezer (once you've spent the significant sum on the appliance itself, of course). Telegraph rating: 8/10 Buy now 6. Fisher & Paykel RF540ADUSX4 Goliath 3-door fridge freezer £1,999, John Lewis A very spacious, American-style fridge freezer with double fridge doors that open outwards and a large, pull-out drawer to access the huge freezer compartment. Inside the freezer are two drawers and one large compartment, providing ample space. There are plenty of shelf levels to customise and utilise space as needed, but no bottle rack. The bright internal light illuminates up the whole compartment well, though. In tests, it regulated its fridge temperature extremely well, even when doors were left ajar. However, the freezer was much slower at this, so you should avoid opening the drawer more than necessary. The thermostat is easily accessible and straightforward to operate. It has a water dispenser and ice maker, too. If you're willing to fork out two grand for a fridge freezer, this Fisher & Paykel model is certainly worth it. Telegraph rating: 8/10 Buy now 7. Bosch KGN36XW35G £589, Appliances Direct German home appliance specialists Bosch have created a top fridge freezer with this frost-free model. The fridge is very spacious at an advertised 237 litres, with a smaller freezer capacity of 87 litres, so it's a good fit for those who like to keep plenty of fresh food. It's very easy to use, and there are a number of excellent features. The frost-free function means you won't have to scrape off bits of frost, a painstaking task. The Super Cool and Super Freeze settings allow you to ensure food you've put in the fridge or freezer gets down to the right temperature as soon as possible. Telegraph rating: 8/10 Buy now 8. Samsung RB31FDRNSA frost free tall fridge freezer £429.99, Argos For a mid-range option this Samsung fridge freezer will do the trick, and it comes with a host of features befitting of a more pricey alternative. On its exterior is a water dispenser (not plugged into mains, so you'll have to top it up, and no ice dispenser function) and temperature display so you'll know if your fridge and freezer are at the right level. Inside, the fridge has four safety glass fridge shelves, which are adjustable and provide high visibility. Storage-wise, the fridge has a 210 litre capacity; 98 litres for the freezer. It has an A+ energy rating too. Telegraph rating: 8/10 Buy now 9. Zanussi ZRB23200WA frost-free freestanding fridge freezer £425, Debenhams Plus A spacious fridge freezer with plenty of shelves to customise. It has reversible doors, so that the fridge is accessible however your kitchen is laid out. It features two deep salad drawers and an internal rack for storing up to two bottles. It regulated its freezer temperature well, even when doors were left ajar. However, the fridge was slower at this, so you should avoid opening the door more than necessary. There are Super Cool and Fast Freeze functions for faster chilling/freezing of foods (particularly useful when restocking the fridge freezer). It was let down by slightly higher energy consumption compared to other models, and the fact the internal light was a little obscured by items on the top shelf. Telegraph rating: 7/10 Buy now Our favourites If you are willing to part with £2k on a fridge freezer, the Fisher & Paykel model is a top purchase. With more space than regular fridge freezers it's ideal for big houses and large families. But if you're after something thinner and more affordable, the Beko and the Hoover are your best bets. The Hoover just shades it, thanks to its remote temperature-control function. Black Friday products
