Zagreb (AFP) – A Croatian court sentenced a 20-year-old to the maximum 50 years in prison for stabbing a seven-year-old pupil to death at a school in December last year and wounding four other people.

The attacker was a former pupil of the school in a suburb of the Croatian capital Zagreb.

He entered during class time and stabbed a teacher and several children, the indictment said.

One child was killed and three children and the teacher were injured.

"This constitutes one count of aggravated murder of a child, along with four counts of attempted aggravated murder and a total of 50 criminal offences involving violations of children's rights," said Kresimir Devcic, a spokesperson for the Zagreb court.

The unprecedented attack deeply shocked and angered the country, prompting protests in the days that followed calling for safer schools.

"The court panel considers that only the harshest sentence -- 50 years in prison -- can achieve both special and general prevention," Devcic added.

He said the perpetrator was tried as an adult, and that a psychiatric assessment of criminal responsibility had been carried out.

The convicted man was arrested immediately after the attack and has remained in custody since.

The maximum sentence of 50 years in prison is rarely handed down by Croatian courts. The ruling can be appealed.

Washington (United States) (AFP) – A new batch of Jeffrey Epstein files released on Tuesday contains numerous references to President Donald Trump, including documents detailing flights he took on his then friend's private jet, and other mentions his Justice Department described as "untrue and sensationalist."

The latest release contains previously unseen material from the investigation into Epstein, a wealthy US financier who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking underage girls.

A first batch of heavily redacted files made public last Friday sparked criticism that the Justice Department was deliberately slow-walking the publication and excluding references to Trump.

Trump figures prominently, however, in the thousands of documents published on Tuesday, even if many references are simply from press reports.

The Justice Department swiftly issued a statement defending the 79-year-old Republican.

"Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election," it said on X, without specifying which allegations were false.

Trump, who is not accused of any wrongdoing, fought for months to prevent release of the vast trove of documents about Epstein, already a convicted sex offender when the more serious trafficking case began.

A rebellion inside Trump's Republican Party forced him to sign off on a law mandating release of all the documents.

The extraordinary move reflected intense political pressure to address what many Americans, including Trump's own supporters, have long suspected to be a cover-up to protect rich and powerful men in Epstein's orbit.

Trump said Monday that he did not approve of the file dumps, expressing concern that people who "innocently met" Epstein over the years risked having their reputations smeared.

"Everybody was friendly with this guy," he said.

He did not immediately react on Tuesday to the latest release, posting on Truth Social about the economy and other subjects.

Trump was friends for years with Epstein and has given different accounts of how he ended their relationship.

He has said they fell out when Epstein "stole" young women working in the spa at his Florida golf club and also that he threw him out of the club for being "a creep."

But the latest documents add to evidence that Trump was close to Epstein, despite his claims to the contrary.

The documents include a January 2020 note from New York federal prosecutors who were investigating Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, detailing Trump's repeated travel on the financier's private jet.

"Records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," it says.

One flight reportedly had just three passengers -- Epstein, Trump and an unidentified 20-year-old woman.

Some references to Trump -- who has never been accused of any criminal wrongdoing with regards to Epstein -- are impossible to verify.

One is in a handwritten letter purportedly written by Epstein, while in jail, to Larry Nassar, the former US gymnastics doctor who was imprisoned over rampant abuse of female athletes.

Epstein is shown complaining to Nassar that they are incarcerated while the "president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch.'"

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that "buried" in the files is an email disclosing that the Justice Department had been probing "at least" ten possible Epstein co-conspirators.

"The Department of Justice needs to shed more light on who was on the list, how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute," the senator said.

The co-sponsors of the bill forcing release of the files -- Ro Khanna, a Democrat, and Thomas Massie, a Republican -- threatened over the weekend to bring contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi for failing to release all of the material by last Friday's deadline.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has blamed the slow release on the need to redact the identities of Epstein's more than 1,000 victims from the records.

Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, remains the only person convicted in connection with his crimes.

A paraplegic engineer from Germany blasted off on a dream-come-true rocket ride with five other passengers on Saturday, leaving her wheelchair behind to float in space while beholding Earth from on high.

Severely injured in a mountain bike accident seven years ago, Michaela Benthaus became the first wheelchair user in space, launching from west Texas with Jeff Bezos’s company Blue Origin. She was accompanied by a retired SpaceX executive also born in Germany, Hans Koenigsmann, who helped organize and, along with Blue Origin, sponsored her trip. Their ticket prices were not divulged.

An ecstatic Benthaus said she laughed all the way up – the capsule soared more than 65 miles (105km) – and tried to turn upside down once in space.

I know in older versions I used a few months ago, the project and clip monitor were not in a vertical window like this. On startup, it asked if I wanted horizontal or vertical as a default profile, and I chose horizontal, but it gave me this layout?

Is this just a Endeavour/Arch thing on my end or is this happening to others as well?

The site this guy used to find these cameras is Shodan. I bought a lifetime subscription to shodan some 10 years ago or so and have really only ever used it to watch my own IPs for any new open ports that I expose to the internet, but I was able to find these same flock camera systems as well, though I wasn't able to connect to any of them.

"And on a scale of green smile to red angry face, how would you rate your experience here at Beardrenched so far?" The human baby glowers back ominously. It feels nothing about seeing the bodies. It feels horrified recalling the ghastly glow of the spectre emerging from the wall.

The silence drags on. Above their heads a hideous scraping sound and the too-familiar wailing of a creature in agony rises to fill the awkward space. The census taker shifts in place, as if looking for an exit.

"Gahgah," the infant finally offers, and gestures at the furious red visage.

The dwarf nods. "Thank you for participating in our mood survey. The Hammer of Reason appreciates your feedback." The creature above shrieks and there is a hollow metallic clattering sound as the items trapped in its chamber are thrown haphazardly into the wall.

"These humans appear poorly adapted to life in the depths," the record keeper murmurs to no one in particular. Surveying the stack of mood reports it's immediately obvious that no dwarf has reached the red yet, all the worst moods are human. "You'd think the infant could have learned, though."

Isn't there a book about humans in the library? My Thoughts On The Human or something? Maybe we should consult it, see if anything can be done for the guests. Selling their possessions to caravans after they die is demoralizing the remaining cave divers. Apparently humans consider that disrespectful.

A naked humanoid lopes past the doorway, hotly pursued by a fleeing draltha and a gaggle of angry humans. The lead warrior, a scarred bald woman brandishes two hefty volumes, one in each hand. She throws one, Happenings: Principles and Practice at the troglodyte to no effect. The baby wails in fury as it is carried into the fray by its mother, who attempts to bludgeon the naked caveman with her flail.

Down the hall someone yells "Death is all around us! I feel very uneasy!"

With a thud and a click from the shale door the office is closed off from the carnage happening outside. The dwarf returns to their seat and sighs heavily. "It was inevitable," they mutter as they return to their work.

Almost done with my year, it's been an eventful one. Can't wait to share all the happenings.

Getting bored of perfect following the racing line bots with no behaviour. I guess i could get into multiplayer but would feel better if i had something more substantial to practice against that behaves a bit more unpredictable

I'm not from the subcontinent myself, but some of my friends are and have been looking for bollywood style content. My usual trackers turn up nothing, any suggestions I can pass along?

I have seen recently a decent amount of projects switching to Codeberg from Github. Is it worth moving your OSS libraries over to Codeberg? Since Microsoft has taken over Github it just seems a little less then it once was sort of speak... Is Codeberg the next big thing for OSS?

I currently am still on Github but I am seriously considering at least mirroring my repos on Codeberg. Github continues to come out with not so great announcements and pricing changes. Codeberg remains free from what I can tell. But the community reach of Github (part of the reason I switched from Bitbucket and hg) would be hard to give up, if Codeberg became the new community sort of speak I think that would be the only reason I would switch.

Any thoughts or insights on this topic?

In the heart of New Hope, PA, is a mighty little punk rock store called God Save the Qweens, an unofficial shrine to the beloved hometown band that is fighting for its right to stay weird.

The area encompassing upper bucks Bucks County, PA and Hunterdon County, NJ, all bucolic farmland and rolling hills spilling into lush forests, separated by the Delaware River and dotted by well-preserved Revolutionary-era structures on each side, is enjoying a moment. You could, if you were a jackass, refer to it as the stealth Upstate New York, if of course by “stealth” you meant that you had a nearly terminal case of myopia. But it’s got the hallmarks of a budding second-home hub. The trend pieces have come, touting high-profile relocations such as Bradley Cooper, the Hadids, and, per the failing New York Times, “other famous people.” Cal Peternell, formerly the chef of Chez Panise, has opened a restaurant in downtown Frenchtown called Finnbar, whose farm-fresh dishes and natural wines fund his wife’s arts program across the street. Sean Gay, formerly of Momofuku, has set up shop in an historic inn. There’s a fucking field of rocks out in Upper Black Eddy that’s gone viral on TikTok. I’ve been, you hit the rocks with a hammer and it kinda sounds like a bell.

At the spiritual center of it all is New Hope, PA, a historical arts enclave known at times for arts, antiques, and its historic playhouse. Its downtown, connected by a bridge over the Delaware River to its spiritual sibling Lambertville, NJ, consists of a few streets featuring the typical mix of oddball shops (Pet Photos Plus! The New Hope House of Jerky! Fred Eisen Leather & Art Knives!) and world-class dining in either historic or shockingly modern buildings, plus side streets with experimental-looking houses that seem cozily lived-in and an unfathomably cute canal. The area hasn’t experienced a shark-jumping moment of absurdity akin to Justin Timberlake’s 2024 DUI in Sag Harbor, in which the arresting officer had no idea who he was, but it’s not hard to imagine a future in which Keanu Reeves’s jangle-grunge band gets booed offstage at MOMs over in Doylestown.

Perhaps no establishment in the town represents the tension of outside money falling in love with an area’s charm and, as the affair deepens, inadvertently threatening to price out all which once made it charming than God Save the Qweens, a little vintage shop dedicated to both all things punk rock and all things Ween, tucked up a hill off the main drag, steps from the canal. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll recognize it because it’s got a lot of stuff with the word “FUCK” printed on it displayed outside, as well as a few items prominently displaying the Boognish, Ween’s logo that surely is up there in the pantheon of ‘90s band logos along with Wu-Tang, Oasis, and maybe Sublime.

God Save the Qweens’s proprietor, who goes publicly by Punk Rock Michelle, opened it nearly 20 years ago after defecting from Love Saves the Day, an outpost of the now-defunct East Village vintage store of the same name. She’s spent her entire life in the area, growing up in nearby Buckingham and attending Bucks County Community college for art, settling into a concentration in glassblowing, because “all the cute boys were blowing glass.” At 55, Michelle scans as a Gen X lifer. She dresses like a member of Lydia Lunch’s entourage, her hair a shock of Manic Panic pink. Despite the fact that the store is her life — she’s the owner, proprietor, and sole employee — she seems uninterested in making money unless it’s on her terms, which means making sales in-person or, if it’s a t-shirt, over Facebook. She loves The Cure, the Dead Kennedys, the Sex Pistols, and Elvis, and refers to Billy Idol as “my future ex-husband” multiple times during our conversation. Her store is a reflection of all of these things. “This is my 15-year-old self’s dream,” she says.

God Save the Qweens also has the distinction of being able to call itself Ween’s officially sanctioned headquarters. Michelle is longtime friends with the group’s principals — they met in high school — and they’ve at times used the store as a clearinghouse for their unsold merch or bootleg shirts sent to them in tribute, as well as a hangout space for when they’re in town. At this point, it’s the only place where a Ween fan can go and hear about the band and its history from someone who knows them firsthand.

This is a rare question hed I can actually abide. The sourcing doesn't prove anything either way.

Susie Wiles has the gimlet eye of an alcoholic’s daughter. She is always on edge, vigilant to the slightest movement, fearful of sudden danger, and has learned to withdraw herself from the chaos in order to survive. She is keenly observant, sees through people around her who are not drinkers to decipher their underlying motives that might flare into unexpected menace, and practiced in passive aggression of which her interview with Vanity Fair is a classic case study.

Wiles defines herself as the child of a raging drunk and it is through that singular lens of her formative experience that she defines her current boss. “I make a specialty of it,” she told the writer Christopher Whipple for his Vanity Fair profile of the Trump White House chief of staff in one of the eleven interviews she granted him. Donald Trump, she stated, “has an alcoholic’s personality,” though he does not drink. She didn’t stop there, but elaborated that “high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities.” Trump, she said, “operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.”

Saying Trump has an “alcoholic’s personality” reveals Wiles’ personal understanding about a megalomaniacal celebrity who fosters pandemonium around himself without any care for others. Her father, Pat Summerall, the great football placekicker and the play-by-play broadcaster of National Football League games on CBS for 40 years, was the original bad daddy. “Alcoholism does bad things to relationships, and so it was with my dad and me,” she said. She remembered him as a mostly absentee father and so drunk he “wouldn’t recognize” his granddaughter, which Wiles thought “horrifying.” Alcoholism, she said, is a “disease that clouds your judgment,” and no one, however smart they think they are can “out think addiction.” In 1992, Wiles and her mother staged an intervention to take him to the Betty Ford Drug Rehab Center. She gave him a letter reading, “Dad, the few times we’ve been out in public together recently, I’ve been ashamed we shared the same last name.” That is what she means when she says someone has an “alcoholic’s personality.”
