In 2019, a high-profile aid worker received a harsh punishment for crimes he committed years earlier. Peter Dalglish, known for starting a children’s charity, was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Nepal after being convicted of raping two boys aged 11 and 14. The case shocked many because Dalglish
Saturday’s rain in Indianapolis didn’t just dampen the ground—it soaked the entire first day of Indy 500 qualifying, a rare event last seen in 2008.
