What’s Going On in This Picture? | May 22, 2017

Look closely at this image, stripped of its caption, and join the moderated conversation about what you and other students see.

It is a formal interment at a national cemetery.
The remains are probably older.
Possibly Vietnam.
The woman receiving the folded flag off the coffin is young to be a wife of that period.  A younger sister perhaps.  Possibly a daughter.
The attending group is large and middle aged.  It could be a senior officer from the Mideast.
The person was in the U.S. forces.

Who is Sheriff Clarke of Milwaukee County? A Brief Guide

Sheriff Clarke has said the Trump administration is considering him for a Homeland Security job. He has been polarizing for his jail’s treatment of inmates, his role as a commentator and accusations of plagiarism, which he denies.

Sheriff Clark is not appropriate for the job at Homeland Security.

Freeze-Dried Mouse Sperm Survives Trip in Space

Although tests did find slightly increased DNA damage, compared with freeze-dried earth sperm, the space version did the job when it came to fertilizing eggs.

I am surprised.

Republicans Watch Their Step in a Slow Retreat From Trump

Senator Marco Rubio and other lawmakers inched away from the president over his actions surrounding Russia inquiries, but they did not explicitly criticize him.

Faction in the Republican party is welcomed by me.
