Homero T. tiene 39 años. Por las noches sale a buscar muros donde realizar pegatinas publicitando un espectáculo musical para una productora. A las 23:30 horas del lunes 21, Homero comenzó a pegar afiches en una de las paredes del IPA, cuando se le acercaron tres jóvenes para intimidarlo.

Uno de los estudiantes le dijo que no podía pegar afiches en la fachada del IPA. “Eran del Ceipa, del Centro de Estudiantes de ahí”, declaró la víctima en el Juzgado Penal de 6° Turno, cuya titular es la magistrada Fanny Canessa. Homero les replicó que le pagaban por pegar afiches y que, una vez pegados, le permitieran sacarle una foto y luego se retiraba. También les señaló a los estudiantes que, posteriormente, podían retirar el afiche.

Uno de los estudiantes le dijo a Homero que se fuera porque “me iban a romper todo y otro me amenazó con pegarme un tiro. Este vestía de blanco. El lío empezó con tres y luego salió otro muchacho desde adentro a gritarme. Me insultó y cuando este se me vino encima, volvieron a pegarme pero esta vez los cuatro”. Homero cayó al suelo. “Me pegaron patadas por todos lados, me llegué a caer al piso, más que nada me pegaron en el piso y en la cara y en la cabeza”. El médico forense estableció que las lesiones sufridas por Homero llevarán más de 20 días de recuperación.

Fiscal pidió liberación de agresores.

El fiscal Pablo Rivas pidió el archivo del caso y la liberación de los tres agresores porque carecían de antecedentes penales. La jueza Fanny Canessa hizo lugar al pedido fiscal señalando que la víctima fue golpeada en forma violenta. “Habida cuenta de la pluriparticipación, correspondía ejercitar la acción penal contra indagados”, dijo la jueza.

The White House is arguing that former aide Hope HicksHope Charlotte HicksWhite House says Hope Hicks ‘immune’ from compelled congressional testimony White House says Hope Hicks ‘immune’ from compelled congressional testimony Democrats banking on Hicks testimony to advance Trump probes MORE is “absolutely immune” from being compelled by Congress to testify about her time working in the Trump administration, in an effort to limit her closed-door interview Wednesday.

White House counsel Pat Cipollone sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold NadlerJerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerWant the truth? Put your money on Bill Barr, not Jerry Nadler From abortion to obstruction, politicians’ hypocrisy is showing Watergate figure John Dean earns laughter for responses to GOP lawmakers MORE (D-N.Y.) on the eve of Hicks’s scheduled closed-door testimony, notifying the top Democrat that President TrumpDonald John TrumpGOP senator introduces bill to hold online platforms liable for political bias Rubio responds to journalist who called it ‘strange’ to see him at Trump rally Rubio responds to journalist who called it ‘strange’ to see him at Trump rally MORE had instructed Hicks not to answer the panel’s questions about her time working in the White House.

“Ms. Hicks is absolutely immune from being compelled to testify before Congress with respect to matters occurring during her service as a senior adviser to the President,” Cipollone wrote Tuesday.

“Because of this constitutional immunity, and in order to protect the prerogatives of the Office of the President, the President has directed Ms. Hicks not to answer questions before the Committee relating to the time of her service as a senior adviser to the President,” he wrote. 

The committee, which is pursuing a sweeping investigation into alleged abused of power by Trump, reached a deal with Hicks to submit to a closed-door interview on Wednesday pursuant to a subpoena.

Democrats are eager to question Hicks, the former White House communications director and ex-Trump campaign aide, about the campaign’s activities and the episodes of potential obstruction of justice by Trump that are detailed in special counsel Robert MuellerRobert (Bob) Swan MuellerKamala Harris says her Justice Dept would have ‘no choice’ but to prosecute Trump for obstruction Kamala Harris says her Justice Dept would have ‘no choice’ but to prosecute Trump for obstruction Dem committees win new powers to investigate Trump MORE’s report. Hicks was interviewed by Mueller and her testimony is cited frequently in Mueller’s report.

The White House’s efforts to limit her testimony are likely to infuriate Democrats who have accused Trump and his administration of going to unprecedented lengths to stonewall their investigations and oversight requests. 

Hicks will be accompanied by at least one White House lawyer, who is expected to raise any objections to questioning on Wednesday. 

Cipollone’s letter cites various Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions in arguing that Hicks is immune from compelled testimony about her work in the White House, including the one issued by the Justice Department in May that Trump cited when instructing former White House counsel Don McGahn not to testify before the committee pursuant to a subpoena. 

Cipollone also indicated that the White House may try to block Hicks from answering questions about her time on the presidential transition because of potential executive privilege concerns. 

 “Much of Ms. Hicks’s work during this period involved discussions with the President-elect and his staff relating to the decisions the President-elect would be making once he assumed office,” Cipollone wrote.

“Accordingly, her responses to specific questions about this period would likely implicate executive branch confidentiality interests concerning that decisionmaking process,” he wrote. “In order to preserve the President’s ability to assert executive privilege over such information, a member of my office will attend Ms. Hicks’s testimony on June 19.”

A Judiciary aide said Tuesday that the committee wants the White House to record any specific assertions of executive privilege during Hicks’s interview on Wednesday. The White House has thus far stopped short of making a formal assertion of privilege to prevent former officials from testifying before Congress.

“The proper procedure is if you have an executive privilege to assert, or any other, you’ve got to put it on the record,” the committee aide said. “We’re expecting and we’re going to press them to put it on the record and if it’s not put on the record, we’re not going to accept that as being satisfactory with respect to the subpoena.”

If Democrats are unsatisfied with Hicks’s testimony on Wednesday, they could go to court to enforce the subpoena for her testimony and documents.

The White House earlier this month instructed Hicks to not comply with the committee’s demands for documents related to her time working in the administration. Hicks has provided some records related to her work on the Trump campaign.

Some people heading to the Jersey Shore this Memorial Day weekend might be wondering: Does the reopening of beaches and boardwalks also mean you can stay with family and friends at a summer home, rental, or hotel? Or are you blocked by the state’s stay-at-home coronavirus restrictions?

Technically, Gov. Phil Murphy said Friday, there’s no strict statewide ban on sharing a Shore house or hotel, even if you’re staying with people you’ve not been isolating with during the pandemic.

But there are limitations. Officials said indoor gatherings remain limited to 10 people in the state, and local municipalities have the right to bar rentals and hotel stays during the crisis.

“Some have and some haven’t,” Matt Platkin, the governor’s chief counsel, said during the state’s daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton

Murphy also strongly encouraged people to be careful about mingling indoors with those they haven’t been quarantining with.

“I would just say: Go into that with your eyes open,” the governor said. “I would keep your distance. That’s a personal opinion. I would not be sitting side by side tightly indoors with someone you’ve not been hanging around with yet.”

Murphy has allowed beaches, boardwalks, and lakes to reopen with certain guidelines as of Friday, even though New Jersey continues to deal with the second-most COVID-19 deaths and cases among American states.

Towns are required to enforce social-distancing restrictions, including reduced capacity. Eateries are limited to takeout and delivery. People are also strongly encouraged to wear face coverings, though not mandated. Arcade games, boardwalk rides, concerts, and fireworks are not allowed.

The move is one of several steps Murphy has taken in recent days to gradually lift his near-lockdown orders during the pandemic as the state’s daily number of deaths, cases, and hospitalizations continue to drop.

On Friday, the state increased the limit on outdoor gatherings from 10 to 25 people and allowed campgrounds to reopen immediately.

Some critics have worried that reopening the beaches could cause another surge of deaths and cases, especially if out-of-state visitors pour into the Shore. And some towns have expressed concern that they don’t have enough special police to enforce restrictions. Murphy acknowledged that Point Pleasant is one town worried about that.

Col. Patrick Callahan, superintendent of the State Police, said law enforcement officials have been working with the state’s police training commission to make sure there are enough officers, in addition to State Police troopers.

“We think we’ll be well-positioned with staff throughout the summer to support the Shore towns,” Callahan said.

Meanwhile, Murphy said he doesn’t have a timeline yet for when arcades or boardwalk shops can reopen.

“If we continue to have another couple of good weeks here, my hope is we get to that, particularly if they’re outdoors,” he said.

Nonessential retail stores throughout the state are allowed to offer curbside pickup.

Murphy also said he will be at the Shore at some point this weekend, if the weather is nice (rain is expected on Friday and Saturday). He said he’ll either run on the boardwalk or stroll with his wife in the Seaside Heights and Seaside Park area.

“I don’t have an exact moment as to when,” he said.

New Jersey, a densely populated state of 9 million residents, has reported at least 10,985 deaths attributed to COVID-19, with at least 152,719 cases, since the outbreak began March 4. Only New York has more deaths and cases among American states.

Officials reported 146 new deaths and 1,394 new positive tests in New Jersey on Friday.

Murphy said Thursday more businesses — such as salons and gyms — may be allowed to reopen with guidelines “in a matter of weeks.”

Still, with the economy suffering massive losses, some lawmakers, businesses, and residents have been pushing him to move more quickly, allowing more businesses to allow customers inside as long as there are safety precautions.

The state Republican Party announced Thursday it is suing Murphy to reopen small businesses, arguing he “arbitrarily” declared which businesses are considered essential.

More than 1.1 million New Jersey residents have filed for unemployment since mid-March, though the number of claims has fallen in recent days. Many say they’ve been waiting for weeks to get paid and have struggled with the state’s busy phone and online systems.

    The British government is in transition on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Theresa May steps down and Boris Johnson takes her place. Here’s how the day will unfold:

    ●May hosted her last session of Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament and will soon deliver farewell remarks at 10 Downing Street.

    ●May will then submit her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

    ●Johnson will formally become prime minister following his own audience with the queen.

    ●Johnson will deliver his first speech at Downing Street and begin to form his cabinet.

    The transition of power in Britain’s parliamentary democracy is brutal — and lightning quick. The United Kingdom is not without a premier for more than an hour. Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May will curtsy to the Queen Wednesday afternoon and resign. Boris Johnson will bow and be asked to form a new government.

    When Johnson walks through the black enameled door of 10 Downing Street on Wednesday afternoon, he will fulfill what his biographers describe as his relentless “blond ambition” to follow his hero, Winston Churchill, into Britain’s top job.

    He will immediately face the buzz saw of Brexit. And although his supporters hope the charismatic Johnson will rally a divided Parliament and a divided country in a way that Theresa May failed to do, he comes into office as a controversial leader, not especially well-liked by most Brits.

    Johnson — a bombastic, Latin-quoting Oxford classicist with a mop of intentionally mussed yellow hair — made his name as an over-the-top journalist and a colorful London mayor. He then galvanized the successful Brexit campaign in 2016, which won him many fans and many enemies. 

    On Wednesday, the transition began when May appeared in the House of Commons for her last session of prime minister’s questions, a weekly exchange between the ruling government and the opposition, as tradition dictates, “two sword lengths apart.”

    Lawmakers thanked May for her term and her 33 years in public service. The harshest lines were reserved for Johnson, whom opposition rivals called “flagrant” and “reckless,” a usurper with no mandate, and someone who is prepared to “sell our country out to Donald Trump and his friends.”

    May offered tepid support for her successor, said she was “pleased” to hand over to Johnson, whom “I worked with when he was in my cabinet,” and who is committed to delivering Brexit. Johnson notably quit May’s cabinet over her handling of Brexit.

    When May herself came under attack, she gave as good as she got.

    Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn laid into her — saying that under her tenure, child poverty was up, pensioner poverty was up, school class size was up, food bank use was up. May retorted that she was proud of her record. She then lowered her head, eyeballed Corbyn and poked him with her horns: “As a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same.”

    Jo Swinson, the new leader of the ascendant Liberal Democrats party, asked May if she had any advice for “women across the country on how to deal with those men who think they could do a better job but are not prepared to do the actual work.”

    May smiled but didn’t take the bait — if that’s what it was — to make any references to Johnson. Instead, she offered: “Be true to yourself, persevere and keep going.”

    Harriet Harman, the longest-serving female member of the House, honored May as Britain’s second female prime minister. But Harman added a sly reference to May’s rocky relationship with President Trump: “Sometimes you just have to be a bit more careful when a man wants to hold your hand.”

    Although May had a relatively short tenure for a British prime minister, she noted that she had answered more than 4,500 questions over the course of 140 hours in the House of Commons.

    After she steps down as leader, May will return to the backbenches of Parliament as an ordinary and not very influential lawmaker. This is far different from the tradition in the United States, where a former president scoots offstage to write memoirs, deliver speeches and build a library. In May’s case, she will back in the House of Commons after the summer recess, asking questions of Johnson.

    Outside the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday, Fleet Street was in a tizzy over possible picks for Johnson’s team — including the “great offices of state” — the chancellor, foreign secretary and home secretary — and what they could mean for Brexit and his style of governing. Johnson has just 99 days to find a Brexit solution. Otherwise, he has warned that Britain might accept the economic risk of leaving the bloc without a withdrawal agreement or transition period.

    Will Johnson lean toward compromise? Or tilt toward a ‘no deal’ Brexit? The lineup of his top team could also signal whether he intends to govern, as he suggested on the campaign trail, like he did as mayor of London, where he was known as a liberal Conservative.

    Johnson awoke Wednesday to a pile of British newspapers on his doorstep announcing his victory — some celebratory, some not. The Metro tabloid went with “Don’t Panic!” as an all-caps headline. The Express front page read, “Hang Onto Your Hats. Here Comes Boris!”

    Next on the schedule: May will deliver farewell remarks at Downing Street and then travel to Buckingham Palace — probably under the watchful eye of hovering media helicopters — where she will tender her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II and recommend Johnson as the person who can command the confidence of the House of Commons. 

    After May’s car leaves the palace, one carrying Johnson will arrive for a ceremony known as “kissing hands.”

    In the movie “The Queen,” starring Helen Mirren, the actor playing Tony Blair kissed the hand of the monarch, but in reality, there’s more likely to be shaking hands. Theresa May shook hands and curtsied — deeply — during her meeting with the queen when she became prime minister.

    Johnson will be the queen’s 14th prime minister. Over the course of her long reign, Elizabeth II has seen them come and go: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May and now Johnson.

    Much attention today will focus on his remarks after he leaves the palace. The first speech a prime minister delivers is heavily scrutinized and often long remembered. 

    For her first speech as prime minister, May talked of tackling “burning injustices” in society and leading a government that worked for everyone, not the “privileged few.” Those promises for a Tory-led “social justice” program were often thrown back in her face, when May mostly failed to address those issues. She was consumed with Brexit. The same could happen to her successor.

    Matt Hancock, a Conservative politician who has been helping with Johnson’s campaign, told the BBC he expected Johnson’s speech to include “a surprising amount of detail, especially on the domestic agenda.” He said that, at the same time as delivering Brexit, Johnson wanted to focus on domestic issues and pointed out that on the campaign trail Johnson spoke about education, social care and policing.

    Once prime minister, Johnson is expected to start naming his new team and new cabinet. Johnson has said he wants a cabinet rich with pro-Brexit voices — with each chair filled by someone who is okay with the incoming prime minister’s vow, that if he does not get the Brexit deal he wants from Europe, then Britain will crash out with no deal.

    Johnson handily won the leadership contest on Tuesday. The former foreign secretary Johnson captured 92,153 votes to current foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt’s 46,656 — a decisive victory. 

    But the vote involved only dues-paying members of the Conservative Party. A mere 139,000 people cast ballots in a country of 66 million. A lot of Britons feel left out at a pivotal moment. On social media, #NotMyPM was one of the many Johnson-related hashtags trending. A YouGov survey found that 58 percent of Brits have a negative opinion of Johnson — a wicked-high number for a first day on the job.

    The 55-year-old Johnson will take up residence at Downing Street. His 31-year-old girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, a former Conservative Party communications official and a top Tory spinner, may move in over the weekend, according to British news reports. Expect a lot of tabloid interest in this unprecedented arrangement.

    When Johnson clocks in, he will face an overflowing in-box of items that need urgent attention, including a showdown in the Persian Gulf with a belligerent Iran. The two countries have been in a tense standoff since Britain impounded an Iranian tanker suspected of sending oil to Syria, and Iran retaliated by seizing a British-flagged oil tanker last week.

    Politics watchers are keen to see whether Johnson continues Britain’s effort to salvage the 2015 deal designed to discourage Iran from developing nuclear weapons, or whether he bends to U.S. pressure to impose sanctions on Iran.

    But Johnson’s main challenge will be getting Britain out of the European Union.

    May’s failure to deliver Brexit on time was the reason her Tory lawmakers ousted her.

      Nueva York, NY. – Donald Trump ha ganado la primaria republicana del estado de Indiana, según proyecta Noticias Telemundo.

       

      Datos simples para entender la ventaja de Donald Trump en las primarias de Indiana

       

      La victoria de Trump lo deja en una posición de privilegio para alcanzar antes de la convención republicana el número de delegados necesarios -1,237- para ser declarado el candidato presidencial.

       

      Trump llegó a Indiana con 996 delegados y es posible que haya ganado hoy entre 40 y 57 delegados. Indiana daba 30 delegados al ganador total a nivel del estado y 27 delegados repartidos en los nueve distritos congresionales. 

       

      Indiana sería la última oportunidad de detener a Trump

       

      Trump tendrá oportunidad de sumar delegados en varias primarias que hacen falta, en particular la de California el 7 de junio donde estarán en juego 172 delegados. Hasta hoy, según las encuestas, Trump lleva en California una ventaja de mas de 15 puntos porcentuales sobre su mas cercano competidor. 

       

      El gran perdedor de la noche en Indiana fue el senador de Texas Ted Cruz, quien había convertido el estado en una especie de última trinchera para evitar la victoria de Trump y con ello la casi segura nominación presidencial del empresario. 

       

      El temor a Trump insta a inmigrantes a nacionalizarse en EEUU

       

      Aun antes de Indiana, Cruz no podía alcanzar el número de delegados para ser declarado el candidato presidencial, pero confiaba en que un triunfo haría mucho más difícil para Trump llegar al citado número de delegados. 

       

      Igual de importante para Cruz, una victoria en Indiana le hubiera dado fuerza a su argumento de que si nadie consigue los delegados necesarios antes de la convención es él quien debe ser elegido como el candidato presidencial una vez iniciada la convención. 

       

      “Déjeme terminar, por favor” dice María Celeste a Trump

       

      Cruz también se había puesto a la cabeza del llamado “movimiento anti-Trump”, una mezcla de diferentes sectores del partido republicano con el intento de evitar la candidatura presidencial de Trump. El resultado de Indiana deja muy debilitado, sino es que terminado, este frustrado intento de impedir el éxito de Trump.

       

      Hoy con el triunfo de Trump además, se hace mucho más complicado de que el empresario no sea nominado como el candidato aun si no llegase a obtener los 1,237 delegados antes de la convención. 

       

      Eugenio Derbez se burla de Donald Trump en este video

       

      Lo que es claro es que Trump llegará a la convención o bien con ese número de delegados a su favor o bien con una cifra cercana que en todo caso lo dejaría como el ganador -aunque no con mayoría- de la primaria republicana. 

       

      No darle la candidatura en caso no obtuviera el número necesario de delegados generará de seguro problemas en la convención ya que sus seguidores reclamarán que se ha elegido a un candidato que quedó lejos de Trump en la elección primaria.

      En varios estados de Venezuela se llevarán a cabo homenajes al líder juvenil y diputado por el Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), Robert Serra, y su compañera María Herrera, asesinados la noche de este miércoles en Caracas (capital).

      Los actos incluyeron un reconocimiento a su trabajo como líderes revolucionarios en la Sala Plenaria de Parque Central y en el Cuartel de la Montaña (Caracas), en la parroquia 23 de Enero, donde descansa el Comandante Hugo Chávez.

      Otras eventos se realizaron en el estado Sucre (oriente), Carabobo (centro), y Zulia (occidente).

      En Sucre las actividades se realizaron en la Plaza Miranda de Cumaná y fue presidida por representantes de la Juventud del Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (JPSUV), quienes destacaron el carácter revolucionario de Serra, quien logró convertirse en el diputado más joven de la historia venezolana.

      En Carabobo, el homenaje se realizó en el Centro Comunal Comunitario Alexander Núñez, de Valencia.

      Por su parte, los militantes de la JPSUV en Zulia se congregaron en la Plaza Bolívar de Maracaibo, en horas de la tarde.

      Robert Serra fue asesinado con un objeto corto punzante la noche del pasado miércoles a sus 27 años de edad. Según información del ministro de Interior, Justicia y Paz, Miguel Rodríguez Torres, el homicidio fue intencional y premeditado. Junto a Serra, también fue asesinada su compañera María Herrera, militante revolucionaria.

      El presidente Nicolás Maduro aseguró este viernes que las investigaciones sobre el asesinato del diputado Robert Serra apuntan que los autores intelectuales están vinculados al expresidente colombiano Álvaro Uribe, cuya relación con el paramilitarismo ha sido denunciada en reiteradas ocasiones por el Ejecutivo venezolano.

      Desta vez a sereia será tritão.



      O produtor Brian Grazer não estava blefando quando falou sobre uma refilmagem de Splash – Uma Sereia em Minha Vida em junho. De acordo com o Deadline, Grazer, Ron Howard e a Disney estão preparando uma nova versão do clássico de 1984 com Channing Tatum no papel que foi de Daryl Hannah (a sereia, no caso tritão) e Jillian Bell interpretando personagem equivalente ao de Tom Hanks. Marja-Lewis Ryan (The Four-Faced Liar, Liked) está escrevendo o roteiro da comédia romântica.

      Tatum, que também vai produzir, e Bell contracenaram em Anjos da Lei 2. Os próximos lançamentos do ator são MIB 23, Gambit e Kingsman 2, enquanto Jillian está em A Última Ressaca do Ano e será uma das protagonistas da comédia Rock That Body.

      Border agents at an El Paso, Texas, holding facility for illegal immigrants feared riots breaking out because of the complex’s poor conditions.

      Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General reviewed conditions at the unnamed facility on May 7, according to an internal report obtained by NBC News. The inspectors found the facility severely overcrowded with many detainees lacking basic hygienic products, such as soap and clean clothes.

      “With limited access to showers and clean clothing, detainees were wearing soiled clothing for days or weeks,” the report said.

      One holding cell was overcrowded by more than 4 times its holding capacity of 35, holding 155 adult males. The cell contained one sink and toilet.

      Border agents at the facility remained armed in holding areas. Agents feared that the detainees would riot and attempt to break out of the facility over the poor conditions.

      The internal report leaked after DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan told reporters on Friday that news reports describing poor conditions at a holding facility for illegal migrant children in Clint, Texas, were “unsubstantiated.”

      The press conference was the first McAleenan had held in three months since taking over as acting DHS secretary. McAleenan spoke for about 11 minutes and took four questions before exiting.

      The debate over the conditions at holding facilities for illegal immigrants has roiled Washington, D.C. The House passed a $4.6 billion bill for border funding last week after Democratic House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi conceded the border funding battle.

      The Senate had already approved its version of the bill with an overwhelming bipartisan majority, placing Pelosi in a difficult position to use the bill as leverage against the Trump administration.

      The DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

      Wilbur Scoville ganhou um Doodle do Google com direito a um jogo que simula o ‘teste da escala quente’ de pimentas. Hoje, o Google celebra o nascimento do químico há 151 anos (1865-1942). Scoville, além de receber a homenagem desta sexta-feira (22), é conhecido por ter inventado um método de avaliação do nível de ardência de vários tipos de pimenta, a famosa Escala de Scoville, disponível abaixo em app. 

      Escala Scoville; app salva de pimenta ‘muito quente’

      O Doodle do Google, além de animado, é interativo. No jogo, os usuários devem fazer com que um sorvete acerte a pimenta para acabar com a ardência na boca de Scoville, após o químico prová-la. O leite, muito presente no sorvete, é um dos principais componentes neutralizadores do ardor da pimenta.

      Doodle de Wilbur Scoville brinca com jogo que usa ‘teste da pimenta’ (Foto: (Foto: Reprodução/Google))

      A cada degustação que Wilbur Scoville prova, uma pimenta diferente e as suas propriedades e curiosidades também são reveladas. Após terminar as “lutas”, que você pode ganhar (e aí desbloquear “novas pimentas” para enfrentar) ou perder (e fazer com que Scoville caia no chão com a boca “pelando”), um sistema de compartilhamento dos resultados do jogo nas redes sociais é exibido.

      Ralador de pimenta bloqueia Wi-Fi e deixa todo mundo ’em família

      O Doodle foi produzido pela artista e doodler do Google Olivia Huynh. Para a designer, a melhor parte do trabalho foi desenhar as pimentas e as reações de Scoville. “O conceito de picante é universal, cômico, e foi o que tentei usar para criar esse jogo de luta”, explica Huynh, em post do Google.

      “Fiz storyboards de como poderia ser, rascunhos e testamos um protótipo. Depois vieram os cenários e animações. Desenhar as pimentas e as reações de Scoville foram minhas partes favoritas”, conta.

      Escala de Scoville

      Wilbur Lincoln Scoville nasceu em Bridgeport, nos Estados Unidos, em 22 de janeiro de 1865 e morreu em 10 de março de 1942. O trabalho do americano como farmacêutico é reconhecido mundialmente: criou o Teste Organoléptico de Scoville, que gerou a já conhecida Escala de Scoville.

      Com este método, Wilbur Lincoln Scoville definiu o grau de pungência de vários tipos de pimenta, através da detecção da concentração de capsaicina, substância responsável pela ardência da pimenta.

      Qual é o melhor Doodle do Google? Comente no Fórum do TechTudo. 

      O teste é um Procedimento de Diluição e Prova. Scoville misturava as pimentas puras com uma solução de água com açúcar, e quanto mais solução fosse necessária para diluir a pimenta, mais alta seria sua picância. Depois disso, o método foi melhorado e foram criadas as unidades de calor Scoville (Scoville Heat Units, ou SHU).

      Uma xícara de pimenta que equivale a 1.000 xícaras de água é uma unidade na escala de Scoville. A substância Capsaicina, que gera a ardência nas pimentas, equivale a 15 milhões de unidades Scoville.

      A pimenta mexicana Habanero chega a 300 mil, uma “Red Savina Habanero”, modificada, tem 577 mil, e a Tezpur indiana, 877 mil.

      Entretanto, este não foi o único trabalho de Scoville. “The Art of Compounding” (A Arte dos Compostos), de 1895, é um de seus livros, que foi usado como referência na farmacologia até os anos 60.

      Scoville também publicou um livro com centenas de fórmulas de perfumes e outras essências, que foi chamado de “Extract and Perfumes” (Extratos e perfumes).

      Em 1922, Scoville recebeu o Prêmio Ebert, e em 1929 ganhou a sua Medalha de Honra Remington e o título de Doutor honoris causa em Ciências pela Universidade de Columbia. O pesquisador morreu no dia 10 de março de 1942, deixando mulher e dois filhos.

      Before he was one of the president’s closest allies, Lindsey Graham (R—SC) was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump — and some members of the Republican Party want voters to remember that come Election Day.

      A new ad from the group Republican Voters Against Trump features the conservative senator dissing the president along the campaign trail in 2016, as well as discussing his admiration for former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

      It starts with Mr Graham saying “I want to talk to the Trump supporters for a minute”, before he asks: “What is Donald Trump’s campaign about?”


      “He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,” the senator says. “You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.”

      The ad then cuts to glowing praise of Mr Biden from the Republican senator, who says: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person then there’s probably — you’ve got a problem.”

      Mr Graham goes on to say Mr Biden is “as good a man as God ever created” and “is the nicest person I think I ever met in politics”.

      The ad concludes with a statement from Mr Graham in 2015, in which he told CNN: “This is a defining moment in the future of the Republican Party.”

      He adds: “We have to reject this demagoguery, and if we don’t reject Donald Trump, we’ve lost the moral authority … to govern this great nation.”

      The ad, which was released over the weekend, has already received over 1.4 million views on YouTube.

      Republican Voters Against Trump confirmed the ad was set to air in several states across the country on Fox News, MarketWatch reported on Monday.

      Good morning.

      Three US presidents delivered eulogies for John Lewis at the congressman’s funeral in Atlanta on Thursday. A fourth, Donald Trump, was not in attendance, but his presence was felt strongly in Barack Obama’s eulogy – which was perhaps Obama’s most explicitly political speech since leaving office.

      Describing Lewis as a founding father of “a fuller, better” US, Obama called on Americans to stand up for the late civil rights leader’s most enduring cause: the right to vote. Without mentioning his successor by name, Obama sharply criticised “those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting.”

      • ‘Emmett Till was my George Floyd,’ Lewis himself wrote, in an essay published posthumously by the New York Times on Thursday, recounting chapters of his own civil rights struggle and calling for future peaceful progress, and “good trouble”.

      This is the worst US recession since GDP was first recorded

      With no end in sight to the US coronavirus crisis, the country’s economy has just suffered its sharpest contraction since the second world war, shrinking by an annual rate of 32.9% between April and June. Last week, another 1.43 million Americans filed for unemployment, while in Washington, GOP infighting has delayed a replacement for the $600 expansion to weekly unemployment benefits, a lifeline for millions amid the pandemic.

      Yet in the middle of the worst recession since GDP was first recorded, the tech firms Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google posted results that sent their already sky-high share prices soaring.

      Trump suggests delaying the election, just as Biden predicted


      Trump: ‘I don’t want to delay, I want an election’ – video

      When Joe Biden warned in April that Trump might try to postpone the presidential election, the Trump campaign dismissed the idea as “incoherent, conspiracy theory ramblings”. But sure enough, on Thursday morning – minutes after the release of that epically awful economic news – the president tweeted without evidence that “universal mail-in voting” would lead to “the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT election in history”, adding:


      Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

      The power to shift an election date rests with Congress, not the president, and even Republicans swiftly dismissed the suggestion. But critics say Trump’s real goal is to cast doubt around the legitimacy of the election, in order to contest its outcome if he loses.

      Michael Brown’s killer still won’t be prosecuted

      With the protests over George Floyd’s death still fresh in the memory, old wounds have been reopened in the case of another police killing that sparked widespread unrest six years ago. The top prosecutor in St Louis county, Missouri, has announced he will not charge Darren Wilson, the former police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson in August 2014.

      Wesley Bell, the county’s first Black prosecutor, pledged to reopen the case after taking office in January 2019. But following a five-month review of the evidence, his office could not prove Wilson committed murder or manslaughter. Dropping the case was “one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do,” Bell said.

      The new wave of Chinese nationalism

      China is facing international criticism for its treatment of the Uighurs and its takeover of Hong Kong. But domestically, Beijing’s aggressive stance has stoked nationalist sentiment – at the expense of more moderate views. Lily Kuo reports.

      Opinion: I killed someone when I was a cop

      Thomas Owen Baker once shot a knife-wielding suspect dead as a police officer in Arizona. Now a PhD student researching police culture , he says such violent incidents are the product of an environment we have all contributed to creating.


      There is usually a complex combination of race, class, guns, violence, capital and other social forces that lead to the fatal encounter. Merely identifying a handful of bad officers and sending them to prison is not a sufficient solution. We must work toward a society where citizens and their governmental representatives – the police – aren’t so terrified of one another.
