James Tzitzon – Bringing the History of the Registry of Motor Vehicle Inspector to Life

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:55:39 GMT

History revolves around studying and documenting human activities to prepare records for current and future generations to increase their knowledge and learn about events and facts. Learning history is essential for understanding how particular events, circumstances, and processes shaped attitudes, behavior, relationships, and socioeconomic patterns. History also informs people about forgotten events, individuals, and organizations and their role in shaping society or particular processes and systems. Some people find history books tedious and monotonous due to the excessive text and facts on a specific incident or individual. However, many history books are necessarily tedious and exhaustive because they integrate multiple elements to portray information about organizations or events. Take James Tzitzon’s the History of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle Inspector: Never Forget, which incorporates pictures, stories from inspectors, and personal accounts to explain historic...

Santa Clara Councilmember Anthony Becker pleads not guilty to 49ers report leak

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:55:39 GMT

Santa Clara City Councilmember Anthony Becker has pleaded not guilty for allegedly leaking a confidential civil grand jury report to the San Francisco 49ers last year and lying about it.Becker was indicted last month on a felony perjury charge and a misdemeanor charge for leaking the document, which criticized the council’s cozy relationship with the NFL team, to former 49ers spokesperson Rahul Chandhok and to reporters or editors at the Silicon Valley Voice.The councilmember made his first court appearance late last month but declined to enter into a plea at the time so he could seek outside counsel instead of being represented by public defender Christopher Montoya. Becker, who was late to Wednesday’s hearing, was represented once again by Montoya.The public defender told reporters after his plea that in his experience, “first time impressions of a case are often wrong or incomplete.”Becker faces four years in county jail if convicted on the perjury charge.His next court dat...

Logan Webb outduels Framber Valdez as SF Giants take series from defending World Series champs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:55:39 GMT

HOUSTON — The Giants did not arrive here in high spirits, suffering from stomach bugs, muscle strains and a losing streak, but they will head home feeling much better, not only because most of the nasty virus players and staff picked up in Mexico City had mostly subsided.Behind an excellent outing from Logan Webb and a late-awakening offense, the Giants hung on to win their second straight over the defending World Series champions, 4-2, and earned their third series win of the season.The Astros, who had not been shut out until this series, were held without a run for 17 consecutive innings, until Alex Bregman took Webb deep in the eighth inning, ending the Giants’ bid for a second consecutive shutout.Webb needed 46 pitches to make it through the first two innings, mostly due to Mitch Haniger muffing a pop fly in left field and LaMonte Wade Jr. letting a ground ball under his glove, but he used the exact same amount as he cruised through the next five innings.Outdueling Astros ...

(KRON) -- Two mountain lions that were rescued as cubs in separate parts of Santa Cruz County will arrive at their new forever home Thursday. The mountain lions, named Hazel and Holly, became inseparably bonded with each other while they were rehabilitated for months at the Oakland Zoo. The Oakland Zoo has one of the top cougar cub rescue facilities in California. Zoo officials wrote Wednesday, "It’s Cub Departure Day Eve — hard to believe we’ll soon be saying goodbye to Hazel and Holly. They’ve come so far, from being critically ill rescues to bonded, thriving young mountain lions. We want to acknowledge everyone who helped rescue, rehabilitate, and raise these orphaned cubs. It has clearly taken a village to care for these two, and we appreciate everyone’s efforts along the way."Holly and Hazel bonded as they grew up together at the Oakland Zoo's wildlife rescue center.

Eurovision fashion: Some of the contest’s most iconic looks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:55:39 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest has provided catchy tunes, cheesy pop and bombastic anthems — but also some eye-catching fashion.One of the most memorable competitors in Eurovision history was heavy metal band Lordi, who donned monster prosthetics and won for Finland in 2006 with “Hard Rock Hallelujah.”“It was a blessed victory on so many levels,” said lead singer Mr. Lordi (aka Tomi Petteri Putaansuu), “and of course it was the first time that some really pretty people won.”In some cases, the fashion outshines the song: Glam metal outfit Wig Wam, Norway’s entry in 2005, only finished in ninth place, but the band’s lead singer drew much attention in an extremely figure-hugging star spangled jumpsuit. Familiar faces and outlandish looks don’t necessarily hold sway with judges. Twin duo Jedward — John and Edward Grimes — represented Ireland in 2011 and the following year. In 2012, they finished sixth at the contest in Baku, Azerbaijan, wearing matching robo...
