Here’s a short history lesson for those who might not understand why Simpson’s birthday and a Bronco are linked. In 1994, Simpson was charged in the double murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. He was involved in a slow speed chase as a passenger in a 1993 white Bronco driven by his friend after failing to turn himself in. The incident was broadcast on local and cable networks and the white Bronco became a pop culture moment.

People can take up to $100,000 from their 401(k) retirement stash without being subject to the 10 percent penalty – so long as the funds are used for coronavirus-related financial needs.

Individuals will, however, have to pay income taxes on the money. An individual does, however, have three years to repay a coronavirus-related distribution in order to undo the tax consequence.

The F-150, along with being Ford’s top-selling product and a key moneymaker, has been the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for more than 40 years. Last year Ford sold nearly 900,000 F-Series trucks compared to 633,694 sales of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s Ram pickup and 575,600 sales of General Motors Co.’s Chevrolet Silverado.

“Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas,” the company said in a statement. “We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible.”

What policy—makers believe to have taken place in any particular case is what matters more than what actually occurred.

Specialists believe the actual number of cases in Brazil could be up to seven times higher than the official statistic. Johns Hopkins University says Brazil is performing an average of 14 tests per 100,000 people each day, and health experts say that number is up to 20 times less than needed to track the virus.

Ed Summers has written a thoughtful review essay of two recent web archiving books in the current issue of the American Archivist, which is presently free to access due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In the essay, he reviews History in the Age of Abundance alongside Niels Brügger and Ralph Schroeder’s 2017 edited collection The Web as History: Using Web Archives to Understand the Past and the Present.

Happy to say that Summers has positive things to say about the two books overall! For me, this quote popped out:

Two recently published books—one by Ian Milligan (2019) and one edited by Niels Brügger and Ralph Schroeder (2017)—provide essential guides to help answer the question of what web archives are by describing concrete, nonhypothetical examples of how social science and humanities researchers are using web archives today. For those who have participated in web archiving activity and pondered how the records would get used, and for those who are looking to get involved in web archiving but are not sure what it takes, these two books are essential reading.

I was curious how the book would be received within the archives profession. I take pains to note that the “web archive” of a web archive doesn’t line up nicely with the understanding of an “archive” within the profession, but there’s inevitably slippage in my work. Summers’ conclusion of the essay is essential reading as well, as it points towards a lot of cutting-edge scholarship – as well as a nice link to Emily Maemura’s great bibliography.

Anyways, you can read the full review here in HTML or as a downloadable PDF.
