Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, was banned after yelling racial slurs at a black student who was working the front desk.

In the video, Rosing was seen yelling multiple slurs and attempting to hit the other student.

In a TikTok video Kylah Spring, the front desk worker, stated “[She started] saying things like ‘Do my chores,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re black,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re ugly,’ and at this point, she’s like singing the n-word,”

Rosing has been charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, fourth-degree assault without visible injury, second-degree disorderly conduct, and third-degree assault on a police officer or probation officer.

A startup in Denver Colorado is trying to keep tabs on wildfires using high-flying balloons. An article by Popular Science states that Daniel Roa and Max McLaughlin, founders of urban Sky, are doing this by using “reusable microballoons that float as much as 13 miles up to the stratosphere to gather information about what’s going on below.”

These balloons are different from conventional balloons because they can be launched anywhere a pickup can park due to their smaller size. The cameras and sensors attached to the balloon will provide a “better than bird’s eye view” to incident commanders and wildland firefighters. This will allow them to get to the new parts of the fires to stop them from spreading.

Scientists are trying to use machine learning to help detect when a person may be at a high risk of suicide. According to a New York Times article, the process would work by “a Fitbit programmed to track \ sleep and physical activity. On [the person’s] smartphone, an app collects data about [their] moods, movement, and social interactions.” The data would then be sent over to a team of researchers and see if the patient is at risk.

When Dr. Nock was asked about these potential hazards, he said “With all due respect to people who’ve been doing this work for decades, for a century, we haven’t learned a great deal about how to identify people at risk and how to intervene.” He also said “The suicide rate now is the same as it was literally 100 years ago. So just if we’re being honest, we’re not getting better.”
