She ultimately spent around five minutes in microgravity but also experienced 9.5 gs on launch and 7 gs on descent. "To put that in comparison, Shuttle astronauts experienced around 3 gs and the SpaceX Dragon experiences approximately 4 gs, similar to Apollo astronauts on the Saturn V," Crisman said. | |

“This is Joe Biden,” says breeder Abou Kane, proudly gesturing towards one of his prize specimens—a muscle-bound creature with perfectly symmetrical curly horns, a glint in his eyes and a fine black and white mottled coat. “I could sell him for about €20,000 [$21,000]” | |

European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili has been arrested in an investigation into suspected bribery by a Gulf state.
Belgian prosecutors believe the unnamed country tried to influence the parliament with money or other gifts.
Four others were also arrested, according to the AFP news agency.
Local media suggested the Gulf state in question was Qatar - but a Qatari spokesperson said he was unaware of any investigation, and denied misconduct. | |

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil this week into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, becoming the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in nine years and surpassing all the previous ones on the same pipeline system combined, according to federal data.
The Keystone pipeline spill in a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Kansas City, also was the biggest in the system’s history, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data. The operator, Canada-based TC Energy, said the pipeline that runs from Canada to Oklahoma lost about 14,000 barrels, or 588,000 gallons.
The spill raised questions for environmentalists and safety advocates about whether TC Energy should keep a federal government permit that has allowed the pressure inside parts of its Keystone system — including the stretch through Kansas — to exceed the typical maximum permitted levels. With Congress facing a potential debate on reauthorizing regulatory programs, the chair of a House subcommittee on pipeline safety took note of the spill Friday. | |

A California pot company has been hit with a $128 million fine for illegally producing millions of cannabis gummies.
On Monday, a Los Angeles judge ruled that the makers of the popular Kushy Punch gummies were guilty of illegally producing cannabis products at an unlicensed Los Angeles facility. The illicit goods were worth millions of dollars, according to state investigators. The judge ordered the company and its executives to pay a $128 million penalty to the state.
The fine may be the largest cannabis penalty in state history. | |

“They’re just trafficking in hate,” Ellis added.
After a brief conversation, a producer said to Ellis he is being too hard on himself. “Are you Jesus?” the person who was not named said.
“What are you gonna fix everybody? Come on bro. You’re there to tell jokes,” he added.
Ellis responded: “I’m not here to fix people, but I’m certainly not here to like further divide the country.” | |

Making the federal judiciary's online court records system known as PACER free under a pending bill in the U.S. Senate would not add to the federal deficit as initially presumed, but would actually cut it by $14 million over a decade, according to revised estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. | |

Since at least 2013, the Nigerian military has conducted a secret, systematic and illegal abortion programme in the country’s northeast, ending at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls, a Reuters investigation has found. Many had been kidnapped and raped by Islamist militants. Resisters were beaten, held at gunpoint or drugged into compliance, witnesses say. | |
