What?s a black moon? Here?s what to expect this weekend 28/09/2025 The moon goes by many names. August saw the full sturgeon moon while in March sky-gazers may have witnessed the blood moon, which occurs when the satellite appears to turn red during a lunar eclipse. You may have also heard of a blue moon, the second full moon to happen in one month.
And then there is the black moon, occurring this weekend, which is rare ? and invisible.
This phenomenon will occur Friday night into the early hours of Saturday. The moon will be closest to the sun at 2:06 a.m. ET Saturday, according to EarthSky.

What is a black moon?
Like a blue moon, a black moon isn?t an official term, but it refers to the second new moon in a month. It happens once every 29 months.
A new moon occurs when only its far side is illuminated by the sun, making it invisible from Earth. It marks the beginning of the lunar cycle.
?A black moon (or new moon) is when the moon is basically in between the Earth and the sun, not to make an eclipse, but where we don?t see the moon,? said Noah Petro, chief of NASA?s Planetary, Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

What makes it different from a solar eclipse is the placement of the moon. In a solar eclipse, the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking some or all the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. But a new moon (and black moon) passes near the sun.
The term black moon can also refer to a month in which there are no new moons. This typically happens in February because the lunar cycle follows a pattern of 29.5 days, according to Petro. February usually has 28 days, except on leap years when it has 29 days.
Stargazers may have quite a view
Since the black moon will be invisible, moon watchers won?t have much to see.
But stargazers will have plenty.
?A new moon or the black moon is great for astronomers when it?s clear,? Petro said, ?because you can go outside and have basically no light contamination from the moon.?
This is the best time of year to see planets, according to EarthSky, so after sunset or just before sunrise, you might be able to spot some celestial bodies, such as Venus, Mars and Saturn.
If you have binoculars or a telescope, you can also keep an eye out for the dumbbell nebula, the colorful, glowing remnants of an old star 1,200 light-years from Earth in the Vulpecula constellation. The nebula appears during the first half of the night. response

Takeaways from the Ghislaine Maxwell-Justice Department interview 28/09/2025 The Justice Department on Friday released the long-awaited transcripts of a weeks-old interview it conducted with convicted Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Maxwell interview was one of two steps the White House took to try and quell outrage over its handling of the Epstein files, which has rocked the administration for weeks and caused even many supporters of President Donald Trump to balk.
áëýêñïðóò ññûëêà bs2shop
Attorney General Pam Bondi and other officials had built up anticipation for the Epstein documents before pulling back on promises to release them. Trump has also made a series of false and misleading claims that have caused Epstein?s victims to suggest a cover-up.
The administration?s other big move ? asking to unseal grand jury testimony ? hasn?t amounted to much. In fact, two judges have suggested it was a ?diversion? intended to look transparent without actually being so.

The Maxwell interview conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, likewise, doesn?t add much to the public knowledge of Epstein. But there are some key points worth running through ? particularly in the broader context of the administration?s botched handling of the matter.
Here?s what to know from the transcript:
Maxwell isn?t coming clean, which undercut the exercise
The Maxwell interview is the administration?s first significant release of information since its effort to close the matter blew up in its face last month.
(Also on Friday, it sent Epstein documents to a House committee that had demanded them, but those aren?t public yet.)
But it was always a weird choice, given Maxwell is a convicted sex offender and her appeals are ongoing. The Justice Department in Trump?s first term also labeled her a brazen liar. What could she possibly add of value?
Not a whole lot, it seems.

READ: Transcript of the Justice Department?s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell
The big headlines are that Maxwell doesn?t implicate anybody ? including Trump ? in any wrongdoing and says Epstein didn?t have a client list. But those statements might carry more weight if Maxwell came clean about her and Epstein?s own misdeeds.
She clearly didn?t do that. In fact, she repeatedly cast doubt on them, too.
She denied that Epstein paid her millions of dollars to recruit young women for him. She denied witnessing any nonconsensual sex acts. And she denied seeing anything ?inappropriate? from ?any man? ? seemingly including Epstein.
?I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age,? Maxwell said. ?I never saw inappropriate habits.?
Some other Maxwell responses also call her credibility into question.
In another instance, Maxwell claimed Epstein didn?t have ?inappropriate? cameras inside his New York, Caribbean, New Mexico and Paris residences. Cameras in his Palm Beach, Florida, house were used because money was being stolen. But Epstein?s seven-story townhouse in Manhattan was outfitted with cameras, the New York Times reported earlier this month. Several of Epstein?s victims have cited a network of hidden cameras. response

Cracker Barrel unveils a controversial logo change 26/09/2025 Cracker Barrel?s modern makeover doesn?t stop with redoing its restaurants. It?s dropping the barrel and the man from its logo, too.
On Tuesday, the Southern-inspired casual dining chain unveiled a new logo ?rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape,? but without the barrel itself ? a central part of the brand?s identity since 1977. (As for the the barrel itself, it was ?essentially the water coolers of the day,? Cracker Barrel explained in a blog post.)
òðèïñêàí âõîä
The identity refresh also includes new TV commercials, a redesigned menu and several new fall-themed foods, part of a larger $700 million transformation plan to shake off its stodgy image and lure in new diners.
?The way we communicate, the things on the menu, the way the stores look and feel ? all of these things came up time and time again in our research as opportunities for us to really regain relevancy,? said CEO Julie Felss Masino in 2024.
https://tripscan43.org
òðèï ñêàí
In particular, the new logo is the latest in a string of changes angering some of its loyal fans who fear the 56-year-old chain is drifting too far from its bucolic roots. On social media, some users griped, with one writing that the ?changing the logo just feels like another little piece of culture dying off.? The change also angered some conservatives, too, like President Donald Trump?s son.
Cracker Barrel has also been remodeling some of its 660-plus restaurants. The chain has ?decluttered? the interiors by removing the country-themed trinkets that lined the walls and lightened up the interiors, shifting away from the dark woods. So far, reaction has been mixed on social media, with some videos on TikTok going viral voicing their displeasure.
Masino remains adamant that the renovations are working, telling ABC News this week that ?people like what we?re doing? and that feedback has been ?overwhelmingly positive.?
In June, Cracker Barrel posted an unusual earnings report for a restaurant: It?s taking a $5 million hit from tariffs because of its retail shops, which largely has products imported from overseas. Restaurant revenue and same-store sales both slightly grew, mirroring other increases casual dining chains are experiencing. response

A greenway through town 19/09/2025 While many visitors come to the area for the otherworldly landscapes of Badlands National Park, roughly 60 miles east of the city, or the wildlife viewing at Custer State Park to the south, the city offers its own unique scenery.
Rapid City borders the Black Hills to the west and prairie grasslands to the east. Rapid Creek meanders through town and an adjacent greenway connects much of the city?s 1,650 acres of park land.

Two beloved decades-old parks ? Dinosaur Park and Storybook Island ? have recently been upgraded to be disability accessible. Wheelchair-friendly Dinosaur Park includes seven life-size dinosaur statues and panoramic city views. At Storybook Island, six pieces of playground equipment are wheelchair accessible and have Braille panels and sensory panels for children with autism. The park is renowned for fairy tale character playsets, an antique carousel and a miniature train. Admission to both parks is free.

Mountain bikers and hikers favor the panoramic views from trails within the 150-acre Skyline Wilderness Area, or from spots along the more than 20 miles of trails in Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park, where M Hill pays tribute to science and engineering university South Dakota Mines. All of these trails are located within city limits.
Jason Kingsbury is a tourist-turned-resident who relocated largely because of the city?s outdoor recreation. Kingsbury is an avid camper, mountain biker and fly fisherman.
?I was absolutely blown away with how much there is to do in Rapid City,? Kingsbury said. Accessing outstanding outdoor recreation in just minutes is unique, he said.
?A lot of people do not have that experience. They can go to Memorial Park and ride world-class (trails). They can ride there from their hotel ? that really impresses people,? Kingsbury said.
?What a lot of people always say is ?I can?t believe how cool this is. I never thought South Dakota had things like this,?? he said. ?They realize real quickly we?re far more than just Mount Rushmore.? response

Trump?s former Commerce Secretary says the president is unlikely to enact blanket tariffs 08/08/2025 Trailer trucks queue to cross into the United States at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, in Tijuana, Mexico, November 27, 2024. Jorge Duenes/Reuters

Since President Donald Trump won the election in November, businesses across the globe have been bracing for higher tariffs ? a key Day One promise the president made.
But over a week into his presidency, Trump has yet to enact any new tariffs.
Ñ?пÑ?Ñ?Ñ?
That could change, come 11:59 p.m. ET on Saturday ? the deadline Trump set for when he says he will slap 25% tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods.
The tariffs, he said, will be imposed as a way of punishing the three nations, which Trump claims are responsible for helping people enter the country illegally and supplying fentanyl consumed in the US.
Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said he meant business, especially with his tariff threats on Mexico and Canada. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed on Friday that Trump will levy the 10% tariff on China on Saturday.
blacksprut
Should these threats be believed? Yes and no, said Trump?s former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

https://bsme-at.ru
The threat of blanket tariffs is likely being overstated, Ross said in an interview with CNN. ?There probably will be exclusions, because there are some goods that just are not made here, will not be made here, and therefore, there?s no particular point putting tariffs on.?
Ross, who was one of a handful of initial cabinet members in Trump?s first administration who kept their position for the entire four-year term, said he advocated for such exclusions when he advised Trump on tariff policies.

Guatemala to increase deportation flights from US carrying migrants from other countries 06/06/2025 Guatemala has pledged a 40% increase in deportation flights carrying Guatemalans and migrants of other nationalities from the United States, President Bernardo Arevalo announced Wednesday during a press conference with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
kra40.at
Guatemala has also agreed to create a task force for border control and protection along the country?s eastern borders. The force, composed of members of the National Police and army, will be tasked with fighting ?all forms of transnational crime,? Arevalo said.
kra48 at
Foreign nationals who arrive in Guatemala through deportation flights will be repatriated to their home countries, Arevalo said, adding that the US and Guatemala would continue to have talks on how the process would work and how the US would cooperate.
êðàêåí âõîä íà ñàéò
Arevalo also said that Rubio has voiced his support for developing infrastructure projects in the Central American nation. He added that his government would send a delegation to Washington in the coming weeks to negotiate deals for economic investments in Guatemala ? which he said would incentivize Guatemalans to stay in their home country and not migrate to the US.
Arevalo said Guatemala has not had any discussions about receiving criminals from the US as El Salvador?s president has offered. He also insisted his country has not reached a ?safe third country? agreement with the United States, which would require migrants who pass through Guatemala to apply for asylum there rather than continuing to the US.

kra27 cc 21/05/2025 A federal judge on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked part of the Trump administration?s plans to freeze all federal aid, a policy that unleashed confusion and worry from charities and educators even as the White House said it was not as sweeping an order as it appeared.
kra28 cc
The short-term pause issued by US District Judge Loren L. AliKhan prevents the administration from carrying through with its plans to freeze funding for ?open awards? already granted by the federal government through at least 5 p.m. ET Monday, February 3.
kra30 at
The judge?s administrative stay is ?a way of preserving the status quo? while she considers the challenge brought by a group of non-profits to the White House plans, AliKhan said.
https kra17 at
?The government doesn?t know the full scope of the programs that are going to be subject to the pause,? AliKhan said after pressing an attorney for the Justice Department on what programs the freeze would apply to. AliKhan is expected to consider a longer-term pause on the policy early next week.
captcha kra17 cc
The White House budget office had ordered the pause on federal grants and loans, according to an internal memorandum sent Monday.
Federal agencies ?must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance,? White House Office of Management and Budget acting director Matthew Vaeth said in the memorandum, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, citing administration priorities listed in past executive orders.
