A Florida Department of Transportation crew early Sunday painted the Pulse crosswalk back to black and white for a second time as supporters continued to try to restore the rainbow-colored crossing. Now, police agencies are monitoring the site.
Spectrum News 13, the Orlando Sentinel’s news partner, reported that the DOT repainted the crosswalk on Esther Street at South Orange Avenue after colored paint was used on the crossing on Saturday. Previously, supporters had been using chalk to draw back the rainbow colors, but rain washed that away.
A squad of Florida Highway Patrol and Orlando Police Department officers surveilled the dozen people who were using chalk on the rainbow crosswalk on Sunday. Advocates said it was an intimidation tactic. | |

Protesters gathered on Monday at St Leonard’s police station in Edinburgh to support Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) member Moira McFarlane, who was to be charged under section 13 of the Terrorist Act for wearing an illegal T-shirt condemning Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, with the words "Genocide in Palestine, time to take action".
The charge follows a visit to her home in the middle of the night by plainclothes police officers. | |

Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet. | |

By night, spectral bats leave their roost and swoop through the tree canopy of Costa Rica, wings outstretched as far as three feet wide, in search of prey: unsuspecting mice and rats, birds called motmots, even other bats. Sometimes, after they snag something good, they will fly back home with the doomed victim in their stalactite teeth and willingly give up a meal to another bat inside the roost. At the end of the day, the world's largest carnivorous bat is a rather cooperative creature.
This is one of several findings in a new paper recently published in the journal PLOS One, which analyzes footage taken from a single roost in the tropical dry forest of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The roost in question is inside of the hollow trunk of a Manilkara chicle tree. Marisa Tietge, a behavioral ecologist at the Natural History Museum in Berlin, first found the roost in December 2022, when it held four spectral bats: a monogamous mated pair and their two pups. A year later, the researchers placed a wildlife camera inside the roost, which automatically recorded minute-long videos over the course of three months whenever the bats left the roost. | |

A Louisville police officer was driving 95 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone on Fern Valley Road and didn't have her cruiser's lights and sirens activated when she was involved in a fatal crash April 2, according to investigative records.
In addition, there was no physical evidence Officer Alyssa Begel applied her brakes before the wreck, according to an investigation by the Louisville Metro Police Public Integrity Unit.
The investigation, containing hundreds of documents, pictures and data, among other evidence, was obtained by WDRB News under the Kentucky Open Records law.
A Louisville grand jury on July 30 declined to indict Begel on a charge of second-degree manslaughter in the death of 61-year-old Charles Briscoe. | |
