ORLANDO, Florida (WESH) — A former teacher at an Orlando Christian school is facing charges, including sexual activity with a 16 or 17-year-old by a school authority figure, after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student for years.The former teacher, Harriet Sugg, has also been named in a civil suit brought by the victim, as has The First Academy and The First Baptist Church of Orlando.The victim came forward to police in 2022 when she was in her twenties.In September 2014, Harriet Sugg spoke with students about “overcoming childhood sexual abuse and same sex attraction” according to an arrest warrant.The victim said she had a similar experience and began speaking with Sugg as a sort of mentor.“She did exactly what she was supposed to do, and in return, you have a teacher who violated her in the worst possible way,” said Andrea Lewis, an attorney representing the former student in a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month.R...

Uber and unions face off over EU gig work law

BRUSSELS — Brussels’ European Quarter is the epicenter this week of a lobbying fight between ride-sharing platform Uber and the drivers that do its legwork.Groups from Belgium, Spain, France and Austria that say they represent drivers and riders are amassing on the doorsteps of the European institutions at Schuman at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening. One hour later, top negotiators will kick off critical negotiations nearby to hash out key details of a law that could end up determining Uber’s future across the Continent.The European Union is finalizing a law on gig work aimed at ensuring delivery drivers and on-demand chauffeurs get better social protections against the power of the online platforms they work for. At the heart of the political fight is the question of whether Uber’s drivers and riders should be considered employees or freelance contractors — a decision that could weaken Uber’s business model in Europe after it has largely dodged labor rights that ...

(CNN) — William Shakespeare’s influence over the world remains unwavering more than four centuries after the renowned dramatist began his career.To mark the continued resonance of the famed playwright’s words 400 years after the publication of his “First Folio” on November 8, 1623, British filmmaker Jack Jewers has sent a portrait of Shakespeare along with a speech from one of his best-known works to the edge of space.Around 1,000 copies of the folio, originally published as “Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies,” were printed seven years after his death. The volume of more than 900 pages included a collection of 36 plays. Without it, 18 plays, including “Macbeth,” would have been lost, according to Reuters.Attached to a weather balloon, with a camera and GPS tracker, the portrait, accompanied by a speech from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” was taken to Earth’s upper atmosphere, according to a press release from inVerse Films.

Why the Chicago Bulls don’t start Alex Caruso, despite the veteran guard’s stabilizing effect when he’s on the court

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:57:35 GMT

Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan already shook up his starting lineup this season when he replaced Patrick Williams with Torrey Craig after only five games.As the Bulls attempt to claw out of a 3-5 hole, Donovan has considered another personnel question: Should Alex Caruso be starting as well?Caruso has been one of the Bulls’ most consistent players since he signed with them in 2021. He’s a first-team All-Defensive selection, a poised offensive distributor and a vocal leader who offers as much instruction as any coach.This has been a particularly strong start to the season for Caruso, who’s averaging 6.4 points on 54.3% shooting — including 80% inside the 3-point arc. He’s averaging 1.4 steals despite playing only 22.6 minutes per game. And when he checks into the game, the Bulls visibly settle down, a reflection of both his poise as a leader and his nullifying effect as a defender.So why does he come off the bench?For Caruso, the question isn’t ...
