Rt. 13 Salisbury at the amphitheater hill. You know you can make catch basins with a sloped top and different heights. The ones I’ve seen are installed with the inlet ABOVE the pavement, not BELOW and follow the sidewalk. They did this TWICE!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that he has officially ended Common Core in his state and outlined new standards that he says “embrace common sense.”
“When I took office, I made a pledge to the citizens of Florida to overhaul our educational standards to remove all vestiges of Common Core and return to the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic,” the Republican governor said in a press conference.
“It really goes beyond Common Core to embrace common sense.”
Conservatives have long been opponents of the controversial Common Core teaching practices, and many believe the reform harms innovation, school choice, and, ultimately, students.
Democrats seek to frame President Donald Trump’s “perfectly legitimate” actions as “impeachable conduct” by accusing the president of malicious intent, explained John Yoo, professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. He offered his analysis on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight.
Attribution of unverifiable malicious motives to Trump’s conduct is an attempt to criminalize lawful execution of presidential authority, explained Yoo.
“The only thing that really separates for the Democrats what would be perfectly legitimate on its face — asking for the investigation [of Joe Biden in Ukraine], delaying the aid [to Ukraine] a little bit — to something impeachable, the only thing that makes it impeachable is what was in President Trump’s mind when he did it,” said Yoo. “What was his mental state? This is an argument you have seen Democrats make repeatedly against President Trump in things like the travel ban to the wall.”

Facebook, Twitter, Google, and other internet powerhouses are scrambling to control the flood of mis-information surrounding the coronavirus, a new and seemingly deadly disease responsible for dozens of deaths in China now spreading to other parts of the globe.
But the Chinese government, it now seems, is working against the tide, spreading mis-information of their own to convince foreign governments and world health officials that they’re efficiently handling the outbreak.
The Daily Beast reports that Chinese state media is tweeting photos of roadblocks, checkpoints, and even a hastily constructed hospital to show it’s “on top of things.”
“People’s Daily, owned by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the most-circulated newspaper in China, and Lijian Zhao, a deputy director of information with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tweeted an image Monday morning of a building they claimed was a hospital in Wuhan, China, the center of the recent coronavirus outbreak,” the Daily Beast reported Tuesday. “The publication and the bureaucrat said enterprising workers in Wuhan had constructed the hospital in just 16 hours.
“In reality, the picture showed an apartment building more than 600 miles away.”

New footage shows robots delivering food to people trapped in a quarantined hotel in China in efforts to stop the spread of coronavirus.
The robots were programmed to stop by the room doors to deliver meals and sing to entertain the guests while they were in the quarantined zone to contain the deadly disease.
More than 200 tourists were housed in the isolation point in Hangzhou, east China, after their flight landed in the city.
Some of the passengers on board came from Wuhan, the city where the virus that has killed more than 131 people originated from.
Yesterday it was widely reported by the media that a Worcester County caregiver named Fedia Dorlus was sentenced for theft of money from a patient for whom she was caring.
Dorlus was incorrectly identified as a “hospice” worker in a news release issued by the Office of the State’s Attorney for Worcester County. State’s Attorney Kris Heiser has since clarified that Dorlus was working as a home health aide for a patient. That patient was also receiving hospice care, but the health care worker had no affiliation whatsoever with Coastal Hospice
The only hospice organization operating in Worcester County (as well as in Wicomico, Somerset and Dorchester counties) is Coastal Hospice. Dorlus is not, nor has she ever been, an employee or volunteer of Coastal Hospice.
Caregivers can be hired independently, but in order to be legally identified as a “hospice” worker, one must work directly for a licensed and certified hospice organization. This assures patients and their families that the skilled staff member has not only received the correct training but has undergone a thorough background check.
We encourage the public to seek hospice care only through a certified hospice such as Coastal Hospice. Most care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance, and in cases where it is not, charitable support may be available.
Coastal Hospice is Joint Commission Accredited and a United Way affiliate.
