Husband who murdered wife days after wedding mutters ‘f*** you’ as he’s found guilty
A man has been found guilty of horrifically murdering his wife just days after tying the knot with her, and now faces a life behind bars. Dawn Walker, 52, was found dead in a field near the couple's home. Husband Thomas Nutt severely injured her face and neck before killing her. In October last year, neighbours in the town of Lightcliffe, near Halifax became suspicious of Ms Walker's absence, reports Yorkshire Live . Four days later locals found her body stuffed inside a suitcase, which had been “dumped” between shrubs and grass. Today a jury at Bradford Crown Court heard how Nutt admitted to killing his wife by pleading guilty to manslaughter - but had denied murder.

Review: Budget Android Tablet Nokia T20 is good enough
A 10.4-inch tablet that's guaranteed to get two years of system updates isn't exactly offering the moon, but for a retail price of just under $250, it's a solid value. The Nokia T20 Android tablet has its annoyances, but its 2K resolution screen, expandable storage, front and rear cameras, and decent battery life all add up to an experience that's good enough to be intriguing. This is a tablet that can handle all kinds of media consumption if that's what you want. Watching shows and reading on it are perfectly acceptable. It's also a fine general-purpose device for browsing the web. Plus, half of T20's annoyances aren't even Nokia's fault—it's how Android and its apps stretch out for larger screens that's annoying. This tablet isn't a direct replacement for an iPad because it lacks the app ecosystem and certain accessory support, but it is a cheaper way to get content on a large screen. It might also be a suitable tablet for a kid because Google Kids Space comes ready to go, out … [Read more...] about Review: Budget Android Tablet Nokia T20 is good enough
Editor Daily Rundown: Mask Confusion
MASK CONFUSION… NY TIMES… DAVID LEONHARDT: A Confusing Message — The C.D.C. recommends indoor masking for the vaccinated, but only in some places. As you can see, most of the Northeast and upper Midwest, as well as much of the West, have only “moderate” or “low” transmission. If that stays true, vaccinated residents in those places can generally remain unmasked, the C.D.C. says. […] Breakthrough infections among the vaccinated appear to be only a modest reason that the number of new cases has been rising, as I explained in Monday’s newsletter. When vaccinated people do get the virus, they are less likely to pass it on to others — and much less likely to get very sick. […] The country was polarized long before Covid. But the C.D.C. has not maximized its chances of being heard, either. That’s the communication problem I mentioned above. Its announcement of the new guidelines was both vague and technical, making it hard for many nonexperts to understand. The agency … [Read more...] about Editor Daily Rundown: Mask Confusion
