#meteor #fireball #texas #nasa Meteor illuminates Texas night sky in stunning video Southern Texas was treated to a stunning cosmic show Thursday night when a meteor lit up the sky, video shows. Footage captured by a Brownsville meteorologist shows the fireball streak through the night sky before it appears to burn out in one last giant flash. The shooting star was a part of the Leonid meteor shower, according to the Brownsville National Weather Service. The celestial show happens each November when the planet orbits into a “stream of small icy debris left behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle as it moves about the sun,” NASA explained. The NWS said on Twitter no damage was reported and the meteor likely burned up in the atmosphere. Earlier this month, stargazers in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey were treated to their own “fireball event.” --Meteor illuminates Texas night sky in stunning video --https://nypost.com/2020/11/20/meteor-illuminates-texas-night-sky-in-stunning-video/ -RETRIEVED-Sat Nov 21 2020 01:44:01 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)

ANALYSIS: TRUE. You’re not my dad, Gov. Cuomo — and please stop pretending. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a parenting problem. Not with his own children, but with the 8 million incorrigible residents of Gotham, who refuse to bend to his will. He has tried everything: groundings, lectures, threatening to send them to bed without supper (at restaurants). And yet these ungrateful brats continue to question the more ridiculous of his ever-changing and often-irrational COVID-19 guidelines. And this is a problem for a man like Cuomo, who seems to fancy himself the Father of New York, much like a Central Asian dictator might think of his nation as his children. His most recent edict was implementing an early bedtime for New York City in response to spiking cases. He ordered bars, restaurants and gyms to close their doors at 10 p.m., sparking ire and confusion. After all, it isn’t as though the virus becomes more dangerous after dark, and already-struggling eateries would have to shut down during prime late-night dinner hours. The city that never sleeps must now turn in early, courtesy of Cuomo’s disciplinarian governance. In July, when New Yorkers had found something that felt a tiny bit like normalcy during quarantine — namely, drinking frosés on the sidewalk with friends they hadn’t seen since March — Cuomo ordered bars to serve a food item with every drink. Pubs quickly responded with some good old-fashioned New York attitude, adding $1 “Cuomo chips” to the menu, making “soup” out of bouillon cubes and offering patrons a single corn tortilla sold as a “vegan taco” to enjoy with their frozen margaritas. Exactly how this would cut down on positive cases was unclear, since patrons could simply throw out their unwanted food and continue drinking normally. But venues tried to follow the rules. But like a parent making sure his children are eating their vegetables, the governor wouldn’t allow these establishments to get away with a cheap and easy fix. He made the rules stricter, demanding that the food ordered be “similar in quality and substance to sandwiches and soups”; a panini would fly, pretzel bites wouldn’t. --You’re not my dad, Gov.

Sean Combs once spent a 'life-changing' summer with the Amish

“It helped me . . . to have those experiences that [tell you] everything’s going to be all right. There’s no electricity.”

Diddy — who legally changed his name to Sean Love Combs — revealed that he spent a valuable summer as a kid staying with Amish folks. At the Fresh Air Fund’s virtual gala, the hip-hop mogul declared, “My name is Sean Love Combs and I am a former Fresh Air Fund kid. I grew up in Harlem. We didn’t have any summer camps.” He reminisced about a time spent at a bed and breakfast in New Hampshire, where he learned to play tennis. Then: “I went and stayed with an Amish family, and that was crazy because there was no electricity and things like that — it helped me to survive,” he said. “It helped me . . . to have those experiences that [tell you] everything’s going to be all right. There’s no electricity.” Combs said: “The Fresh Air Fund changed my life — as you can see.” Mariah Carey, whose career-development camp is a part of the org, also made a cameo. “When I began, I had one simple idea … to create a summer camp where kids feel safe, have fun and learn something. And today, Camp Mariah is still going strong,” she said. “It motivates me, in return, to keep doing my best.” --Sean Combs once spent a 'life-changing' summer with the Amish --https://pagesix.com/2020/11/20/sean-comb-once-spent-a-life-changing-summer-with-the-amish/ -RETRIEVED-Sat Nov 21 2020 04:39:56 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
