Florida lawmakers advance bill targeting illegal gambling properties with stronger penalties

Published by skeptic

Florida lawmakers have formally enrolled Senate Bill 168, a measure that expands the state’s public nuisance law to include properties used for illegal gambling and removes limits on fines tied to those violations. The bill was ordered on Tuesday (March 17), after passing both chambers with wide margins, including a 112–0 vote in the House on third reading. In recent months, Florida regulators have stepped up actions targeting unauthorized gaming, including a recent crackdown that led to the seizure of more than 600 illegal gambling machines. State officials say those operations often run in storefronts or back rooms, generating significant unregulated revenue while skirting oversight. How gambling enforcement and penalties will shift under new Florida nuisance law SB 168 revises the list of activities that allow a property to be declared a public nuisance. The enrolled text adds locations used as gambling houses to that list, placing them alongside other recurring criminal uses already covered under state law. According to the bill summary, the measure is “revising the list of places that may be declared …

The February jobs report is expected to show 55k jobs added to the US economy in the month, a sharp drop from 130k in January but slightly above the Fed’s 50k breakeven estimate. Private payrolls are expected to rise by 60k versus the prior 172k. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.3%, while wages are seen rising 0.3% M/M and 3.7% Y/Y. According toi Newsquawk, the data will be used to gauge Fed rate cut expectations, while some on the FOMC, including Waller, will use it to decide whether to vote for a rate cut or hold in March, although the Fed is expected to keep rates on hold barring any drastic change in the current situation or outlook. Recent proxies have been mixed: the ADP report was strong, while the ISM PMI employment sub-components showed improvement in both manufacturing and services, though manufacturing remained in contractionary territory. Initial jobless claims for the reference week were steady over comparable periods, while continuing claims rose slightly. The Conference Board reported a modest improvement …

Children of divorce develop stronger morals but face hidden emotional struggles

Children of divorce develop stronger morals but face hidden emotional struggles

Published by José Betancourt

Children who experience parental divorce or loss may develop stronger moral values—even while experiencing significant emotional challenges. This new research was published in Behavioral Sciences. Divorce and the death of a parent are widely known to affect children’s mental health. Previous studies have linked these events to anxiety, depression, academic problems, and behavioral difficulties. Children may feel insecure, struggle in school, or find it harder to build trusting relationships. At the same time, some psychologists have suggested that hardship and adversity can sometimes foster growth, helping young people become more responsible, empathetic, and emotionally aware. To better understand this complex picture, researcher Fahri Sezer from Balıkesir University, Turkey, examined how divorce and parental loss relate not only to emotional adjustment but also to what psychologists call “moral maturity.” This refers to a person’s ability to understand right and wrong, take responsibility, and act with fairness and empathy. The study involved 319 students (191 females, 128 males) between the ages of 10 and 18 who had experienced either parental divorce or the loss of a parent, …

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy, Feb 22 : Sweden’s women’s curling team is stronger than they have ever been, skip Anna Hasselborg said on Sunday after leading them to their second Olympic gold medal. Sweden claimed a 6-5 victory over Switzerland to become the first women’s team to win three Olympic medals overall, adding to their gold at the Pyeongchang Games in 2018 and bronze in Beijing in 2022. “Everything we’ve been working for the last four years – we’re going a little bit harder without the hammer, going aggressive, really putting rocks in play – everything just came together this weekend,” Hasselborg said.  “Technically, we’re so strong, but I think the key one thing is our team spirit, and the trust we have for each other, and all the fun we’re having… “Eight years later (after Pyeongchang), I think this is the strongest we have ever been, mentally, technically, strategically and just that we have believed in each other for the whole way. It’s never been a doubt. It’s just unreal.” Despite their previous successes at …

Antarctica’s Gravity Hole Growing Stronger, Scientists Find

Antarctica’s Gravity Hole Growing Stronger, Scientists Find

Published by José Betancourt

For decades, scientists have been studying intriguing “gravity holes,” which are enormous depressions in the Earth’s crust where the effects of gravity are significantly lower than average. It’s an especially pertinent phenomenon in the Antarctic, a region that has seen significant changes not just due to global warming, but far longer-term climate changes spanning tens of millions of years — long before the emergence of humans and their environmentally disastrous footprint on the planet. The effects of gravity are particularly weak beneath the icy continent when accounting for our planet’s rotation, the result of slow rock movements deep beneath the ice. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, University of Florida geophysics professor Alessandro Forte and Paris Institute of Earth Physics researcher Petar Glišović found that these rock movements are correlated to major changes in Antarctica’s climate, suggesting how the area’s gravity shifts may have allowed its ice sheets to grow. The pair created a detailed map of the Antarctic’s “gravity hole” to study how it changed over millions of years, …
