Police confirmed to 11Alive that Zulu was one of the three victims of the shooting, which took place at a shopping strip off Peachtree Road in Buckhead outside of Atlanta around 11:35 p.m. Police stated an argument broke out in the parking lot behind the shopping center which quickly escalated to gunfire. Police stated that upon arriving at the scene, they identified three adult males with gunshot wounds. “The victims were transported to the hospital where one of them was later pronounced deceased,” the Atlanta Police Department wrote in a statement....

Music has charms to soothe a savage breast, but scientists are finding that it works those charms through the brain. At a recent conference of the New York Academy of Sciences, Trehub and dozens of other scientists interspersed their PET scans and MRIs with snatches of Celine Dion and Stravinsky as they reported on the biological foundations of music. Besides the musical babies, several other lines of evidence suggest that the human brain is wired for music, and that some forms of intelligence are enhanced by music....

Reuters reported on Friday that Musk demanded removal of the #ThereIsHelp feature, which shared suicide prevention hotlines and other information when users searched for specific content. The report cited two people familiar with the deletion, who spoke anonymously because they “feared retaliation” from Musk. The #ThereIsHelp feature also reportedly shared information related to other mental health issues, child sexual exploitation, vaccines, HIV, COVID-19, gender-based violence, natural disasters and freedom of expression....

The prime minister has announced the launch of a racial equality commission to look at “all aspects of racial inequality” after people took to the streets across the country to protest racism in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer. Writing in the Telegraph, the prime minister said: “There is much more that we need to do; and we will....

Turns out the mayor was just ahead of his time. Today the Japanese art world has turned on to Asia. A large show of Asian oil paintings, organized by the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art, is touring the country. A retrospective of Vietnamese painter Le Thanh Thu An recently concluded in Tokyo, where a major exhibit of Asian photography is planned for early 2000. The Fukuoka Art Museum has rebounded dramatically from its embarrassing start and this March opened the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, the world’s first major institution of its kind, with a collection of 1,100 items....

Christian’s boast came to mind when I received this e-mail from another friend, a casting agent: “Looking for protesters on Sunday. Movie: The Interpreter with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. Location: the United Nations. All ethnicities welcome. Pay: $75. Bring photo I.D.” Why not? It was my day off. I was curious. And for the rest of my life I’d be able to say I acted with Nicole Kidman. Besides, “The Interpreter” would be an international blockbuster....

The latest salvo in this longstanding debate comes not from philosophers, economists or priests, but from the lab. After a four-month study of capuchin monkeys, Frans de Waal and Sarah Brosnan of Emory University came to a startling conclusion: these primates have a rudimentary sense of justice, and in some cases are willing to take a stand against injustice even at the cost of their own well-being. The findings, published last week in the scientific journal Nature, suggest that justice is not so much a product of nurture, a lesson taught by parents and community, as an evolved trait....

I regret my behavior when I think I’ve been too judgmental, when I create difficult moments for those who mean no harm, but I’m tired of being confused with people who really, objectively, don’t look like me. I am short, and have been mistaken for people who are quite tall. I tend to wear jeans and loose sweaters; I have been mistaken for people who wear fur and tulle. I don’t wear makeup—well, I could go on and on....

“You live in Las Vegas now?” she asked. “Yes, that’s right,” my wife said. “And you’re moving here?” It was not the first time my wife, an emergency-room nurse trying to set up interviews for a new job in a new city, has had to explain herself. Perhaps the time of year explains the recruiter’s confusion—she was probably buried under a late-winter blizzard, dreaming of our sunny weather. Thousands of people move to Las Vegas each month....

It is said that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Being an avid collector of something most people readily toss after a night on the town, along with their gum wrappers and pocket lint, offers more proof of that adage. After all, what good is detailed event information after the event is long over? Been there, done that, right? Not so. In my world, the who, what, where, when and how much printed on the pieces of ripped cardstock holds both important social and emotional significance....

Myles Turner exited the team’s game against Brooklyn on Wednesday after suffering an injury to his ankle in the first quarter. The team later announced Turner suffered an ankle sprain on the play and was listed as questionable to return. On Thursday, Indiana announced Turner is listed as week-to-week with a sprained right ankle. Turner, 23, is averaging 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in three games for Indiana this season....

More than 60 old-fashioned cathode-ray tube sets from the 1980s and 1990s appeared on porches and lawns in Richmond on Saturday night. Residents called police, who pulled surveillance tapes from local home-security systems and found the boob-tube bandit was to blame. “It was a guy dressed in a jumpsuit with a TV for a head,” Richmond local Adrian Garner told NBC12. “It’s the weirdest thing. He squats down, puts the TV there and walks off....

Lindell, a mega-millionaire and staunch Trump loyalist, made the remarks Friday ahead of a hearing in a Washington court where he and pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani face a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems due to their false claims about the companies alleged involvement with “stealing” the election for President Joe Biden. These extraordinary claims have already been thoroughly litigated and wholly debunked. “Our country was attacked by China....

During a Monday appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Lindell said that he was “100 percent” running against McDaniel and that one of the committee’s top donors told him that “everybody wants you to be head of the RNC, some of them just don’t know it yet.” Thus far, McDaniel has received an endorsement from the majority of the RNC’s members, 101 of 168. Lindell, a Trump ally and a 2020 election denier, has not been backed by former President Donald Trump, although he told Axios that he didn’t inform Trump of his decision to run....

Andrew Torba, the founder of Gab, a platform pitched as a “free speech” alternative to Facebook and Twitter, complained in a post on Tuesday that Lindell’s site appeared to be a “rip off” of his own vision, including plans to expand into commerce. Lindell, a Donald Trump-supporting businessman who was banned from Twitter in late January for spreading misinformation, has spent recent weeks hyping up a project called “Frank,” which he has claimed is a mix of Twitter and YouTube....

“It’s never happened before,” Napoli told reporters, via NESN. “I think I broke it on my at-bat before when I hit the ball to right (field). I wasn’t sure, but I thought I hit it on the barrel. It was just a weird feeling. The bat exploded and I was just kind of sitting there. It’s a weird feeling anytime you do that. I don’t know. I can’t really explain it....

In the latest twist in the saga of classified White House materials not being properly returned to the National Archives, Pence’s lawyers confirmed that a “small number of documents” were found at his home during a search last week. These were then handed over to the government. Pence said he was “unaware” of the existence of sensitive materials at his private property and that he would be willing to fully cooperate with any inquiry....

While speaking on CNN on Tuesday, Taylor and CNN’s Alex Burns reflected on Pence’s potential presidential ambitions. A clip of Taylor’s comments has gone viral on Twitter and has been viewed more than 180,000 times. “Alex makes great points but if you want to know what the Mike Pence Vice Presidency was like, Mike Pence was the guy with an erect posture and a flaccid conscience,” Taylor said. “He stood up tall but he did not stand up to Donald Trump....
