Next year, voters in Maine will learn the last names of several of the candidates running to replace term-limited Gov. Janet Mills: Pingree, King and Bush.These are surnames that have long been associated with politics, but with a twist. These are not the candidates most people think of. They are relatives of the candidate. Former Maine House Speaker Hannah Pingree, Angus King III, and Jonathan Bush (daughter of Representative Cherry Pingree, son of Senator Angus King, and cousin of former President George W. Bush, respectively) all ran for governor, promising to be new voices for their respective parties.Political bugs can…
□ A joint research team from the DGIST Nanotechnology Research Division led by Dr. Donghwan Kim and Dr. Jungmin Kim (President Kunwoo Lee) has developed an innovative permanent magnet manufacturing process that overcomes the limitations of conventional technology.

The Metropolitan Health Coalition is the latest group to take a strong public stance in support of vaccinations, in direct response to concerns that the federal government is restricting access and raising doubts. “We are united behind a simple message: Get Vaccinated,” the group said in a statement Monday. The bill was signed by 20 public health leaders from some of the nation’s largest cities in both Democratic- and Republican-led states.

I spent some time Saturday among the several thousand or so people who gathered for the No Kings rally at the Nebraska State Capitol. As a journalist, a big part of attending Lincoln’s version of No Kings (one of 15 events across Nebraska), as with any event in a similar venue, was looking at the numbers, gauging the mood, and determining what was new and what was news. In other words, although the business was peaceful, the people expressed considerable dissatisfaction and growing dissatisfaction with the country’s current leadership. Hear the joyful noise of cheers, chants, and a chorus of…
