Former Marine sentenced to prison in Planned Parenthood clinic firebombing
Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic
  • A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'

  • Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

  • Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.

  • Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

‘Moment of bliss’: PM Modi on ‘Surya Tilak’ ceremony of Ram Lalla in ...
Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak
  • The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

  • During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

  • At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

  • Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

Dozens of Google employees protest use of company’s tech for war in Gaza
Quick Glance: Google employees arrested for protesting collaboration with Israel
  • Several Google employees were arrested Tuesday evening at the company’s offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, California, after staging sit-ins to protest the tech giant’s work with the Israeli government.

  • The protests came a day after pro-Palestinian activists blocked highways, bridges, and airport entrances across the United States in demonstrations against Israel's invasion of Gaza and U.S. military support for the country.

  • A Google spokesperson confirmed that the employees were placed on administrative leave and had their system access cut off due to violating company policies that prohibit impeding the work of others.

  • Google has been negotiating with Israel's Defense Ministry and selling technology to the Israeli government, leading to tensions between employees and anti-Nimbus organizers advocating for an independent investigation into potential human rights violations.

Major Burger King California franchisee adding order kiosks over $20 wage
Quick Glance: Major Burger King California Franchisee Introduces Order Kiosks Due to $20 Wage Impact
  • Harsh Ghai stated in an early April interview that 25% of his restaurants already have kiosks, with the remaining 75% set to be equipped within the next 30 to 60 days.

  • The new minimum wage for limited-service restaurant chains with at least 60 nationwide locations took effect on April 1, standing 25% higher than California's general minimum wage of $16 per hour.

  • Ghai plans to offset the higher labor costs by implementing measures such as reducing work hours, introducing kiosks, and halting the development of new restaurants.

  • Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.

Quick Glance: California: New Minimum Wage Impact on Fast Food Industry
  • Most fast food workers in California will earn at least $20 per hour starting Monday, providing more financial stability to the profession and potentially raising prices in the high-cost state.

  • California has doubled its minimum wage to $16 per hour over the last decade, with data showing increased wages and sustained employment levels.

  • The law represents a negotiated compromise between the fast food industry and labor unions, applying to restaurants with limited table service and part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments.

  • The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.
