Zakaria’s on California’s Failed Governance

Philip reacts to an opinion column in the Washington Post by Fareed Zakaria on California Governance. Zakaria’s argument boils down to this, California isn’t failing because it lacks resources—it’s failing because its governance systems can’t effectively translate those resources into results.

Zakaria’s Take on California’s Failed Governance

Lost Nyack Teens Found

Cracking The UFO Mystery

David Hockney Passes Away

About 70 teenagers (mostly girls) were on a school outing at Memorial Park in Nyack. Some students entered a stormwater culvert / tunnel system. They kept exploring and traveled quite far underground and eventually became lost and scared. 

US officials have found a location in the Northeast where unexplained glowing orbs frequently appear in the night sky, bringing experts closer to solving a longstanding UFO mystery. The site’s existence, reported to the FBI and confirmed by agents, is being disclosed Friday as part of a third tranche of UFO files released pursuant to President Trump’s February declassification order. 

Artist David Hockney, whose paintings of pools shimmering in the Los Angeles sunshine became icons of 20th-century art, died Thursday, his publicist said. He was 88.

Lost Teens Found, Cracking The UFO Mystery & David Hockney Passes Away

Peter Murrell's Embezzled Funds

Leaving Your AC On 

Peter Murrell’s case is a major political scandal because it involves top leadership, undermines trust in a governing party, exposes weaknesses in financial oversight. A political operative’s yearslong scheme to embezzle party funds has become a source of anger and embarrassment in Scotland, but not entirely for the reasons you might think. 

Short answer, No. Don’t leave it running at your normal cool temperature all day. But also don’t always shut it completely off either. The best strategy is a middle ground approach: Turn it off or turn it up when you’re away. Then cool the house before you get back.
