On this day, Colombo’s dual life-as an media-facing advocate and as an underground criminal-will come crashing down in a violent display. It’s an open secret many people across the city know who he really is, and the FBI is hot on his tail, trying to catch him in the act. The problem? That same Joe Colombo is a leader of the Mafia, one of the heads of the “Five Families” in New York. Joe Colombo is the very public face of the League, a group that actively fights discrimination and ugly stereotypes against the Italian-American community, such as their association with organized crime and the Mafia.

So what is the true story of Thanksgiving? And why is it so important for us to remember? This protest – a National Day of Mourning – continues to this day, now led by James’s granddaughter. America’s reckoning with the truth of Thanksgiving, James argued, would empower indigenous people to fight for their equal rights. This protest was organized by Wamsutta Frank James, a Wampanoag activist who wanted to draw attention to the full story of Thanksgiving – a story of fear, violence, and oppression that spanned generations. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival, protestors gather under a statue of Massasoit, the Wampanoag leader who had made peace with the Pilgrims, and partook in the legendary Thanksgiving meal. ![]()

Its power also comes on like an old Econoline, though - the handling gets erratic quickly in hard starts. But Car and Driver and Motor Trend both note that it doesn't have the oomph of earlier Sport models. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 creates 335 horsepower and gets to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, according to Motor Trend. The Edge ST has plenty of juice to liven things up Sport mode especially quickens the pace. It's like piloting a Duesenberg or a 1947 Lincoln Continental.ĭespite its quirks, much is forgiven when driving. Maybe the name "Edge" refers to the feeling I get peering over the edge of the long, long hood? The front feels so long it's like the opposite of a minivan. The Ford Edge ST is a new name for the sporty version of the Ford Edge midsize SUV. The ST Performance Brake Package added $2,695 Cold Weather Package added heated steering wheel and more for $495. Its competitors are all closely matched in cargo room, but the Edge's thoughtful storage cubbies and slightly roomier cabin might seal the deal.The 2020 Ford Edge ST AWD is priced as $52,540 as tested. With the rear seats folded, the Edge accommodated 29 of our carry-on suitcases. If putting junk in the trunk is important to you, the two-row-crossover segment is a great enabler. Otherwise, the interior design is simple and understated, with plenty of room for people and cargo. Materials throughout the cabin are nicely chosen, but panel fit and finish could be better we noticed a few misaligned dashboard pieces in our test vehicle. Plenty spacious for four adults, the Edge's cabin is a comfortable place for a commute or a road trip. We haven't tested the four-cylinder with its new eight-speed automatic yet, but on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy loop the ST managed 25 mpg, just 1 mpg short of its promise. The New Ford Edge ST Aims to Be the Sharpest Edgeįour-cylinder models are rated by the EPA for up to 29 mpg highway and even the sporty ST model managed to earn a 26-mpg highway rating.2020 Ford Edge ST-Line Looks Good, Less Powerful.It's not as light on its feet as the athletic Mazda CX-9-our benchmark for crossover handling-but the Edge is reasonably enjoyable to drive and provides reassuring stability in corners its steering is nicely weighted, if not particularly communicative, and its ride is comfortable over imperfect road surfaces. If you're looking for an SUV that can keep pace with a Volkswagen Golf GTI from zero to 60 mph-and quite a few other zippy cars as well-check the box for the Edge ST, which gets a 335-hp twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 and standard all-wheel drive. The base turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and, despite its casual acceleration, should provide adequate power for most customers. With all that extra cash we save, we'd opt for the all-wheel-drive option, which is a $1995 upcharge. And though the visual cues of the SEL and the Titanium trims are appealing, we'd settle for the base SE with the now-standard 8.0-inch display, power-adjustable driver's seat and dual-zone climate control. The Ford Edge ST's 335-hp twin-turbo V-6 is tempting however, it's an extreme approach to affordable family transport. New to the color palette are Atlas Blue, Dark Persian Green, Desert Gold, Iconic Silver, Rapid Red, and Star White. ![]() All trim levels are treated to dual-zone climate control, an 8.0-inch Sync 3 touchscreen, a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat, and a reverse-sensing system. A new Elite package dresses up the Titanium's interior with Brunello door inserts and brick-red stitching. What's New for 2020?Īfter last year's mild refresh, the 2020 Edge remains largely unchanged. The Edge's exterior design makes it hard to distinguish if it's coming or going, but the progression through the trim levels accentuate its curb appeal. Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistant features includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking is standard on all trim levels. The two flavors of powertrain satisfy distinctive tastes: a fuel-efficient 250 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder or the Edge ST's peppy twin-turbo V-6 and its class-leading 335 ponies. The interior looks a bit long in the tooth, but the seats are cushy and the cabin is hushed, with enough space to comfortably contain four adults. It's the best five-seat offering in Ford's SUV lineup, occupying the real estate between the all-new Escape and fresh Explorer. In the burgeoning mid-size, two-row crossover segment, the aging Ford Edge remains a sharp contender, with a quiet cabin and lots of standard features. ![]() ![]() Not everyone is going to enjoy the same types of sound effects so having the ability to choose between 20 of them is a huge incentive. However, there is also a white model for those who are interested. With the black model, the bezel is bright blue and quite stylish.

While it would have been nice to have some sort of indicator for what sound is currently playing, what is convenient is the precise volume control that is provided to you. They are split in half with ten of them being general fan sounds and the other ten being ambient noises. In total, there are 20 different sounds that can be played from this.

With this, the volume will be adjusted according to your current environment. While the integrated timer is worth mentioning (with options for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes), what is even more so is the adaptive sound technology. ![]() Not only that but the sounds are non-repeating for an even better experience.

In a world filled with average and subpar machines, this bad boy stands head and shoulders above the rest. Again, though, some versions will integrate multiple power sources for versatility. Whether this is AA batteries or a rechargeable battery, this becomes optimal in times of a power outage or when you are on the go. Lastly, some models will gather their power from batteries. Then again, you may not want to draw that extra power out of your external device. But, if you did not have an AC adapter, the benefit here is you could power it through another device’s USB port. As it uses electricity straight from your home, the only real concern is when a power outage occurs.Īnother common method is via USB and this method is similar. Clearly, the greatest benefit of this power method is you never have to worry about the batteries dying. The most common power source is via an AC outlet in your home. While all of them typically are powered one of three ways (or multiple ways), this can differ from model to model so, be wary of that. As you most likely noticed throughout this guide, these machines are not all powered via the same source. ![]() ![]() ![]() Certain varieties can appear in the mountains and rocky slopes from Alaska to New Mexico. These interesting flowers can appear in woods, fields, gardens, lawns, roadsides. These pistils are the flower’s female parts, which will develop into achenes (small dry fruits). These plume out of a slightly green center, which consists of a cluster of pistils. Another interesting fact is they have many stamens rather than the common five. The way these petals curve creates a pool of sweet nectar in the center. Typically, buttercups grow up to 2 feet tall, and their flowers reach only 1 inch wide. This waxy coating comes from reflective cells just below the petal surface. For most varieties, buttercups have slightly curving yellow petals with a waxy coating. Despite the variations, they carry many of the same characteristics.

Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School in Florida, The New Yorker reported last year, more than a dozen cases of Irukandji syndrome have been documented. Irukandji jellyfish are common in Australia, but people have suffered their stings around the world, including in Malaysia and the Caribbean. A robust young life-saver (C.R.) volunteered to test the second specimen, of similar size to the first.” If Barnes got this paper past an IRB, it’s probably best that we don’t know how.)

The story of how it came to be connected to stings is horrifying in its own right: In the 1960s, an Australian scientist named Jack Barnes captured a couple of jellyfish and, to confirm his hypothesis, used it to sting himself, a lifeguard, and his 9-year-old son. Irukandji syndrome received its name in the 1950s, after an indigenous tribe in Queensland, Australia, where members frequently displayed this puzzling collection of symptoms.
