Debbie Wasserman Schultz postal facilities, Congresswoman Blocked From Surprise Visit

 Debbie Wasserman Schultz postal facilities, Congresswoman Blocked From Surprise Visit.

Broward Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was turned away from two Miami-area postal facilities early Friday as she sought to investigate ongoing issues with timely delivery at the U.S. Postal Service.

In a release, Wasserman Schultz said she was denied entry to the Royal Palm processing facility in Opa-locka and the Miami Processing Facility. She was informed she would have to follow regular visitation protocols in order to tour the sites.

“If [U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy] thinks he can just throw a bed sheet over what’s going on behind these doors, he is sadly mistaken,” Wasserman Schultz said in the release. “Without access to these public facilities, the public is blindfolded to the problems or fixes taking place there. DeJoy cannot delay the mail and delay oversight of these facilities.”

In a statement, the USPS said it was told late Thursday afternoon that Wasserman Schultz wanted to arrange for a tour at 4 a.m. Friday, and that after speaking with staff it would be unable to set up the tour on short notice.

“We would be happy to accommodate her at another time,” it said. “We look forward to working with the Congresswoman and her staff to arrange a visit in the near future.”

Two of which have a high chance of becoming a depression this week. The front-runner is INVEST-92L, which is producing a disorganized cluster of storms this morning. 92L is expected to push off to the west-northwest in the central Atlantic over the next several days, where conditions will be favorable for it to become a tropical depression or storm. The  National Hurricane Center gives this disturbance a high 90% chance of development over the next 5 days. Behind 92L, a vigorous tropical wave is forecast to push off the west African Coast today. A tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of next week as it pushes westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic. Right now, the National Hurricane Center is giving it a high 80% chance of development over the next 5 days. Computer models are bul...

Flying-V airplane maiden flight, day bring travelers in its wings

 Flying-V airplane maiden flight, day bring travelers in its wings. Researchers have actually carried out a successful maiden flight of the  Flying-V , a futuristic and fuel effective airplane that might one day bring travelers in its wings. The Flying-V’s special style puts the  passenger cabin , the freight hold and the fuel tanks in the wings, and professionals hope that the aircraft’s aerodynamic shape will cut fuel usage by 20% compared to today’s airplanes. Experts evaluated a 22.5 kg and 3-meter scale design of the futuristic airplane, established by scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and partner Dutch airline company KLM, to take the extremely prepared for airplane along its next developmental actions. A group of scientists and engineers evaluated the airplane at a secured airbase in Germany, where they dealt with an Airbus group to check departures, maneuvers and methods, and landing. “One of our worries was that the aircraft mi...
