Today the House Intelligence Committee will hold public hearings in preparation for possible Impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Expected to testify are William Taylor, the top diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs.
The hearings are scheduled to begin at 10:00 EST. You can watch live online on CSPAN or PBS or most major networks.
Reportedly, today's hearing will follow a unique format, and will look/sound a bit different to those of you that are familiar with watching House hearings.
The day will start with opening statements from House Intel Chair Adam Schiff, ranking member Devin Nunes, and both witnesses, William Taylor and George Kent.
Opening statements will be followed by two 45 minute long continuous sessions of questioning. The first will be led by Chair Adam Schiff, followed by Ranking Member Nunes. The unique aspect here is that both the majority and minority will have staff legal counsel present, with counsel expected to present many, if not most, of the questions. Chair Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes are free to interject their own questions (during their respective times) as they wish.
Following the two 45 minute sessions, each member of the Intel Committee will be afforded the standard 5 minute allotment of time for their own questions. The order will alternate between Dem/GOP members.
Today's hearing will conclude with closing statements by Chairman Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes, and is expected to come to a close around 4pm EST
I think I have a jar problem. This is the top of one of my kitchen cupboards.

Working on a podcast episode that deals with the death of James Dallas Egbert III, the Michigan State college student that died in 1979. His death was initially explained as a role-playing (Dungeons & Dragons) incident gone bad.
Hoping to find more information about it beyond the Wikipedia page. Any links would be greatly appreciated.
Mum always thought it was just a decorative knick-knack, but, given the wealth of the Douwe Egberts family, could it be something special? I'm doubtful given its lack of any discerning maker's marks!

Just fyi: Douwe Egberts is a large dutch business who deal namely in coffee and tea. The individual who gave the bowl was I think was the son of Cornelis Johannes de Jong (the de Jongs were the family behind the business). https://www.heritagecenter.info/en/history. My mother also comes from a prominent dutch family business, hence why he was invited to the wedding!

If you want one of these villagers, you’re free to pick them up-. I’ll be checking this page every few minutes, even if this gets a day or two old. Don’t worry about the time!
I’m working on kicking out these villagers. They REALLY don’t wanna move out, and it’s painful-

Poison IV, though, just made the victim extremely itchy.
