NASA intends to update its predictive models for object decay during re-entry and the ISS team will investigate the disposal of the cargo pallet to enhance understanding of the debris's survival.

Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization

Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."

A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

Quick Glance: Conviction for Theft and Sale of Biden's Daughter's Diary

A Florida mother was sentenced to a month in prison and three months of home confinement for stealing and selling President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary to the conservative group Project Veritas four years ago.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain at the Manhattan federal court called the actions of the Palm Beach, Florida woman 'despicable'.

In August 2022, Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, admitting to receiving $20,000 of the $40,000 paid by Project Veritas for personal items of the president's daughter, Ashley Biden.

Swain noted that Harris and a co-defendant, Robert Kurlander from nearby Jupiter, Florida, had initially tried unsuccessfully to sell Ashley Biden’s belongings to then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Quick Glance: Trump's Hush Money Trial: Opening Statements Scheduled for Monday

The completion of the final jury selection for Donald Trump's hush money trial occurred, with an appellate judge rejecting the former president's latest attempt to stop the case.

The accusation against Trump involves a system to conceal negative stories that could harm his 2016 campaign. Trump has pleaded not guilty, asserting the falsehood of the stories.

Despite prior failed attempts to delay the trial, a lawyer for Trump argued in court that the jury selection was rushed, but the court denied this claim.

Throughout the trial, Trump utilized the prosecution as a political rallying cry, presenting himself as a victim while managing his dual role as both a defendant and a presidential candidate.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba

Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.

Quick Glance: Newborn Borneo Orangutan at Busch Gardens, Florida

An endangered Bornean orangutan baby was born at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Florida.

Following a cesarean section on Saturday, the baby orangutan weighing just over three pounds (1.3 kilograms) was brought into the world by park officials. Once stabilized, the mother Luna is recovering from the surgery and will soon reunite with her baby.

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

United States to reimpose sanctions on Venezuelan oil over unfair elections - UPI.com

upi.com/Top_News/US/2024/04/17/Maduro-Venezuela-Biden-oil-sanctions/8281713386220/

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector

The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser

Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: NASA unveils probe for potentially life-sustaining Jupiter moon

US space scientists revealed the interplanetary Clipper spacecraft destined for one of Jupiter's icy moons in search of extraterrestrial life.

The Clipper spacecraft is set to launch in October and conduct a detailed study of Jupiter's moon Europa over five years.

The mission aims to identify conditions that could support life but is not specifically searching for life itself.

The probe is expected to operate until 2034 before crashing into another body in the Jovian system to conclude the mission.

Impacts of coral bleaching span oceans worldwide, with sea surface temperatures at record levels.

Corals under extreme heat stress can recover, but otherwise, the reef requires several years to regenerate.

Despite losses, some reefs show signs of color, offering hope for potential recovery, while scientists caution about the escalating impacts.
