All told, Mr. Trump's clemency orders have erased at least $119 million in unpaid restitution since January 2025, a CBS News investigation has found.

By contrast, clemency orders by former President Joe Biden erased $14,000 during his four years in office, Justice Department records show. The vast majority of Biden's orders were commutations that left financial penalties intact, rather than pardons.

Fluoroscopy is a moving-picture X-ray. Developed in the late 1800s, it has valid medical applications to this day. Using it to fit shoes began in the 1920s, when the risks of ionizing radiation were not well understood.

You and a salesperson peer into viewing ports to watch your bones moving in the shoe as you wiggled your toes! Very occasional use was probably not too awful, but radiation damage is cumulative, so frequent use was another story. Salespeople had cumulative exposure risk from proximity to poorly shielded devices. One salesperson rad injury required an amputation. They were fascinating to use, and children would do it just for fun.

US scientific orgs such as ACXRP issued warnings as early as 1931. Pennsylvania banned them in '57, and Switzerland in '59. By '70 they were mostly gone from the US, Canada, and Europe. A few hung around into the early '80s, illegally or inadvertently.

Primorsky Krai’s regional Labor Ministry said social payments in the krai could be temporarily delayed.

The ministry said the regional budget is currently “operating under increased strain, including due to the need to address nationwide tasks connected to the special military operation.”

“Under these conditions, funding for certain social support measures is being disbursed in stages, so the transfer of some payments may be temporarily delayed,” the ministry said, adding that it “understands” how important timely social support is for residents of the krai, and the “concern of those who are now waiting for the funds to be transferred.”

Authorities in the Nizhneilimsky district, in the Irkutsk region, plan to cut about 37% of the staff at the district administration and public-sector institutions, said Pavel Berezovsky, head of the district. The first to be let go, he said, will be night watchmen at schools, kindergartens, and community centers, along with employees of the municipal enterprises “Service Center” and “Clean City.”

Avrotros said it would also not take part next year, but NPO, which oversees public broadcasting in the country, stepped in and pledged last month that the country would return in 2027.

NPO chair Jet de Ranitz said the organisation had held discussions with broadcasters about participating next year.

"In those discussions, we initially felt there was sufficient support to return. Unfortunately, we were unable to find a suitable format for this.

"As a result, we must conclude that it is currently too early to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027.

To hear the former Yahoo CEO tells it, the creepy AI assistant is meant to help women delegate monotonous chores.

“Women, this is my own bias, tend to take more photos and are more visual, and so being able to work with AI in a visual medium is fun,” Mayer told the NYT. “It essentially understands your personality, your likes, your dislikes, because it knows what you think looks good.”
