Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: Transformation of Hull Primary School to 'Outstanding'
  • A primary school in west Hull is celebrating its latest 'outstanding' rating from regulator Ofsted, recognizing the teamwork that has gone into transforming its status.

  • A little over two years ago, Collingwood Primary School found itself in the 'requires improvement' doldrums but has since reversed its fortunes, with all areas rated 'outstanding' except for early years provision, which was 'good'.

  • Inspectors noted the 'exceptional' education the children receive, the 'caring and nurturing' relationships between staff and pupils, and the 'wide range of enrichment activities' that underpin the curriculum and help build confidence.

  • Staff work closely with parents and carers to remove all barriers to learning and build relationships within the community, resulting in highly achieving students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Quick Glance: Caitlin Clark Receives Lucrative Offer from Big3 Basketball League
  • Talented player Caitlin Clark from Iowa has the opportunity to sign a $5 million contract with the Big3 3-on-3 basketball league after completing her NCAA Tournament journey with the Hawkeyes, as reported by TMZ Sports.

Quick Glance: All About Solar Eclipse Glasses Before April 8
  • A total solar eclipse will be visible in the U.S. on April 8, 2024, with 31 million people in a narrow strip from Maine to Texas able to see the sun completely covered.

  • Specialized solar eclipse glasses are essential to protect the eyes during the eclipse, as looking directly at the sun can cause eye damage.

  • There are alternative methods like pinhole projectors or camera obscura to safely observe the event, but regular sunglasses are not sufficient for the eclipse.

  • It is advised to be cautious when purchasing solar eclipse glasses as there are counterfeit products, and some sellers may not adhere to safety standards.

Quick Glance: Biden Signs $1.2 Trillion Funding Legislation
  • The Senate approved the bill after facing hours of deadlock on funding for most of the government for the upcoming six months.
