Trump aide cites 'massacre' that never occurred to defend immigrant ban
A Trump administration aide corrected herself on Friday after a wave of criticism for referencing a 2011 "massacre" in Kentucky that never occurred to defend President Donald Trump's temporary ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.
During an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Thursday, White House counselor and spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway said Trump's recent executive order was justified in part because of the "Bowling Green massacre" of 2011, which never took place.
Conway corrected herself on Friday in a post on Twitter, saying: "Honest mistakes abound."
The phrase "Bowling Green massacre" was the top trending topic on Twitter on Friday morning as thousands of social media users mocked Conway's error.
On television late on Thursday, Conway spoke about two Iraqis who came to the United States and were radicalized, adding, erroneously, "and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre."
She then said: "Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."
In fact, in May 2011, two Iraqi men were arrested in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and charged with attempting to send weapons and money to al Qaeda in Iraq. They admitted to using improvised explosive devices against U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Mohanad Shareef Hammadi and Waad Ramadan Alwan pleaded guilty and were sentenced to life in prison and to 40 years in prison, respectively. Neither was charged with plotting attacks within the United States, prosecutors said.
Conway said on Twitter that she meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists" on the show. She also slammed a network reporter for criticizing her.
"NBC reporter texted me at 632am re:a diff story; never asked what I meant on @Hardball b4 slamming me on @TODAYshow Not cool, not journalism," Conway (@KellyannePolls) wrote.
In the sentence, “Conway corrected herself on Friday in a post on Twitter, saying: "Honest mistakes abound." How can you retell what was said?

The mother of a four-year-old child who was born with cerebral palsy was happy to see her son have a great time. She said that she had never seen him so happy apart from the time when he went horse riding.
One of the volunteers said that many of the children do not get a chance to come to the beach, so sometimes this is the first time that they have ever been in the ocean.”

A river in flux
MANAUS, BRAZIL—Jochen Schöngart darts back and forth
along an escarpment just above the Amazon River, a short water
taxi ride from downtown Manaus, Brazil. It’s still early this October
morning in 2023, but it’s already hot and his face is beaded with
sweat. “Look, there’s a piece of ceramic!” he says, nodding to a
worn shard lodged between boulders, likely a relic of an earlier
civilization. It’s not the only one.
Schöngart, a forest scientist at the National Institute of
Amazon Research (INPA), stoops and stares at the bedrock at his
feet. Well below the river’s normal level for this time of year, the
rock bears a gallery of life-size faces, perhaps carved during a
megadrought 1000 years ago. Now, they have been exposed again
by a new drought, the worst in the region’s modern history.
In the previous 4 months, only a few millimeters of rain have
fallen in this city of 2 million at the confluence of the Negro and
Amazon rivers. Normally it gets close to a half a meter during the
same period. The Amazon sank steadily beginning in June, as it
does most years during the dry season. But by mid-October, the
port’s river gauge reached the lowest level observed since the
record began in 1902. Freighters coming up from the Atlantic
Ocean—the city’s primary supply line—were blocked by shoals.
Factories furloughed workers.
Making matters worse, the drought coincided with a series of
week-long heat waves. In September and October, withering
conditions persisted across the Amazon, and temperatures here
peaked at 39°C, 6°C above normal. Desiccated jungle set ablaze by
farmers enveloped the city in choking smoke. Then, in the season’s
most freakish episode, a sandstorm blotted out the Sun.
Drought and heat are only half of the story of the changes
unfolding in the heart of the world’s largest rainforest. Schöngart
and collaborators’ research on the river here has shown that for
decades, while dry-season low water has been plummeting, rainyseason high water has been rising. The city has experienced
frequent major flooding in recent years because of heavy rains
across much of the Amazon Basin, forcing the officials to erect
temporary wooden walkways above streets of the historic
waterfront.
Schöngart and other researchers expect such changes to
intensify as global climate warms. The current drought provided a
grim preview, killing river dolphins and fish, and threatening
livelihoods for communities along the river. If the combination of
higher highs and lower lows becomes the new norm, the
ramifications could extend throughout the Amazon Basin and even
beyond, threatening the very existence of the forest—which
harbors much of the planet’s biodiversity, has a far-reaching
influence over regional and global climate, and sustains millions of
people.
“We are undergoing massive changes in the hydrological
cycle” of the Amazon Basin, Schöngart says. The question now, he
says, is whether its ecosystems and people can adapt.

Office Culture
Companies are clawing to bring back pre-pandemic perks and that 'family'
feeling – but employees want something more tangible.
Many employers are calling employees back into offices, trying
to restore the workplace of pre-pandemic days. Along with filling
seats, they're also looking to bring back another relic: office
culture.
Pre-2020, office culture was synonymous with the 'cool' office:
think places to lounge, stocked pantries and in-office happy hours
that went all out; or luxe retreats and team-building exercises
meant to foster the feeling of 'family'. In past years, these perks
drew many workers to the office – in some cases, entire companies
defined themselves by their office cultures.
The world of work looks and feels entirely different than just a
few years ago – yet many companies are still intent on recreating
the office cultures workers left behind as they abandoned their
desks in 2020. While these companies are making some gestures
to adapt – for instance, redesigning spaces to accommodate new
preferences and hybrid-work habits – many are still set on bringing
back what lured in workers before the pandemic.
Yet swaths of employees simply aren't interested in going
backward. Instead of trust-falls and cold brew on tap, employees
are demanding flexible work, equitable pay and a focus on
humanity in the workplace that transcends the perks they sought
years earlier.
Workers' shifting priorities are a natural consequence of the
Covid-19 pandemic, says Georgina Fraser, head of human capital
for global commercial real-estate firm CBRE. "The pandemic gave
us autonomy in a way that we haven't had previously," she says.
"It gave us the opportunity to choose how we structured our
working days."
And now that workers have experienced that level of work-life
balance, they won't settle for less. Fraser adds: "Post-pandemic,
we saw a resurgence of people being very vocal about what they
wanted and needed, not just from office culture, but from the
wider world."
Now, she says, workers aren't shy about "wanting to be seen
as a whole human – and that filters down to their physical location,
how [employers] manage them, what support they receive and
how [employers] integrate technologies between home and office
in order to support them".
One major factor in this changing attitude is that many
employees feel office culture simply isn't applicable in a remoteand hybrid-first world, where the physical office can feel
superfluous. Now that the workplace doesn't serve as the culture
hub it once did, "companies have really struggled to redefine the
role of the office", says Lewis Beck, CBRE's head of workplace for
Europe. Office culture that was once meant to get employees
excited doesn't have the same pull when workplaces are only onethird full.
Adapted from: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240229-office-culture-isdead
When it is argued that workers aren't shy (7th paragraph), the

Office Culture
Companies are clawing to bring back pre-pandemic perks and that 'family'
feeling – but employees want something more tangible.
Many employers are calling employees back into offices, trying
to restore the workplace of pre-pandemic days. Along with filling
seats, they're also looking to bring back another relic: office
culture.
Pre-2020, office culture was synonymous with the 'cool' office:
think places to lounge, stocked pantries and in-office happy hours
that went all out; or luxe retreats and team-building exercises
meant to foster the feeling of 'family'. In past years, these perks
drew many workers to the office – in some cases, entire companies
defined themselves by their office cultures.
The world of work looks and feels entirely different than just a
few years ago – yet many companies are still intent on recreating
the office cultures workers left behind as they abandoned their
desks in 2020. While these companies are making some gestures
to adapt – for instance, redesigning spaces to accommodate new
preferences and hybrid-work habits – many are still set on bringing
back what lured in workers before the pandemic.
Yet swaths of employees simply aren't interested in going
backward. Instead of trust-falls and cold brew on tap, employees
are demanding flexible work, equitable pay and a focus on
humanity in the workplace that transcends the perks they sought
years earlier.
Workers' shifting priorities are a natural consequence of the
Covid-19 pandemic, says Georgina Fraser, head of human capital
for global commercial real-estate firm CBRE. "The pandemic gave
us autonomy in a way that we haven't had previously," she says.
"It gave us the opportunity to choose how we structured our
working days."
And now that workers have experienced that level of work-life
balance, they won't settle for less. Fraser adds: "Post-pandemic,
we saw a resurgence of people being very vocal about what they
wanted and needed, not just from office culture, but from the
wider world."
Now, she says, workers aren't shy about "wanting to be seen
as a whole human – and that filters down to their physical location,
how [employers] manage them, what support they receive and
how [employers] integrate technologies between home and office
in order to support them".
One major factor in this changing attitude is that many
employees feel office culture simply isn't applicable in a remoteand hybrid-first world, where the physical office can feel
superfluous. Now that the workplace doesn't serve as the culture
hub it once did, "companies have really struggled to redefine the
role of the office", says Lewis Beck, CBRE's head of workplace for
Europe. Office culture that was once meant to get employees
excited doesn't have the same pull when workplaces are only onethird full.
