A 37-year-old woman from Wapakoneta, Ohio, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison after admitting to killing her ex-husband using an animal tranquilizer during a custody exchange in 2022. Amanda Hovanec was convicted of ambushing and injecting her ex-husband, 36-year-old Timothy Hovanec, with a fatal dose of a drug known as M-99 on April 24, 2022. The incident occurred amid an ongoing child visitation dispute following the couple's divorce. Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio stated that Amanda, along with her mother Anita Green and her new boyfriend from South Africa, Anthony Theodorou, plotted the murder to gain sole custody of their three daughters. According to court documents, Timothy, a U.S. State Department researcher, traveled from Virginia to Ohio to spend time with his daughters after a judge granted him visitation rights. Upon arriving at the home where Amanda lived with her mother, Timothy was attacked while unloading the children's car seats from his vehicle. Video evidence from his dashcam showed Amanda injecting him with the tranquilizer and struggling with him until he became unresponsive. After the attack, Amanda placed a plastic bag over Timothy's head and, with the help of Theodorou, loaded his body into her Honda Pilot. The following day, Anita Green drove them to a pre-dug burial site on farmland that once belonged to Amanda's grandfather. Amanda and Theodorou buried Timothy's body using shovels taken from Green's home. The plot unraveled when investigators confronted Amanda with the dashcam footage, leading to her confession. While she initially claimed that Timothy had left after dropping off the children, she later admitted to the murder, stating that it "comes down to me being selfish." Anita Green was sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role as an accessory after the fact. Theodorou is awaiting sentencing. U.S. District Judge James Knepp II remarked that he was "left with the inescapable conclusion that she helped facilitate a murder, not just after the fact," regarding Green's involvement. "This is as bad a crime as I have seen or could have imagined," Judge Knepp said during the sentencing. He emphasized the premeditated nature of the crime and the involvement of multiple family members in the murder plot. In addition to her prison sentence, Amanda has been ordered to pay $2,108,559.36 in restitution. The funds are intended to cover the financial losses resulting from Timothy's death, including support for their three daughters. Timothy's family and friends expressed relief at the sentencing but remain grief-stricken over the loss. The case has drawn attention to the complexities of custody disputes and the potential for such situations to escalate tragically. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Welcome back everyone for episode 21 of the zero analytics podcast, where we explore the karting world to hear the journey from top performers in all aspects of our sport. Today’s episode is a conversation I’ve been looking forward to for some time. His name came up in an earlier podcast and I started following him on social media. Through a few conversations with people who know him I became more intrigued with his approach and process from afar. Being a long time participant in the sport we were able to touch on our sports past, the current state and future of where we hope it goes from here. We had a wide ranging conversation about life, parenting and karting. It’s definitely one of my favorite episodes so far and although we recorded for almost two hours time will fly by as you listen along to today’s guest. Ladies and gentlemen without any further adu .... the fearless leader of the Rasics and the Four Two Crew.... my friend Mr Phil Schneider.

Here we come, washing over the net, getting happiest looks from everyone we know. Hey hey it’s the Nerds! We are back once again with a brand new episode for your entertainment pleasure. This week we have another fun filled episode for you, and we promise not to sing. First up the Professor continues his series on Game Developers with a lot of information on some funding support that is available. We also look at the negative side of crowd funding with the keyboard warriors and trolls being their useless selves. So if you are interested in becoming a games developer and have been listening in on the rest of the series you are sure to find this helpful and interesting.Next up we urge you to grab yourselves a cup of Earl Grey, hot, and prepare for some awesome news from the Star Trek universe. There is news that some Picard prequel comics and novels are on the way. At present we aren’t expecting to see a young Picard running around the vineyards in France breaking hearts with the wind blowing through his hair. That sounded like bad fan fiction, sorry. Anyway we are certainly looking forward to this fabulous news material.Buck has word that e-scooters are not as green friendly as is first suggested. That’s right, Buck is unhappy with the misperception of those zippy little shared e-scooters littering up the city. Apparently a study has shown some data that questions their usage, let alone the materials used in the manufacture of the various components. Then there is the issue of the scooters ending up in water ways. That’s right, some idiots are throwing e-scooters into rivers, creeks, lakes and other various waterways. Some people are seriously troubling in the level of stupid they present to the world.Next as usual we have the various shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, events of interest and the games we are currently playing, minus one host who was abducted. Was it by aliens, the CIA or someone else we may have insulted? You will have to listen to find out who; then we think we will see who comes up with the most interesting answer. Let us know what you think. As always, stay safe, take care, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:The Stress of funding - https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1157298020691644416?s=09Picard prequel comics and novels revealed – https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/star-trek-picard-prequel-novel-and-comics-on-the-way/Shared E-scooters - https://phys.org/news/2019-08-e-scooters-green-options.htmlGames currently playingBuck– Company of heroes 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/231430/Company_of_Heroes_2/Professor– They Are Billions - https://store.steampowered.com/app/644930/They_Are_Billions/DJ– DOTA 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/570/Dota_2/Other topics discussedEpic Games Store exclusivity helps Phoenix Point achieve 191% return- https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/1999-11-30-epic-games-store-exclusivity-helps-phoenix-point-achieve-191-percent-returnEpic Games will fund the cost of Kickstarter refunds for Epic-exclusives- https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-07-03-epic-games-will-fund-the-cost-of-kickstarter-refunds-for-epic-exclusivesVideo games blamed for shootings- https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/sports/trump-violent-video-games-studies.htmlInternational Game Developers Association defend industry following President Trump's accusations against "gruesome and grisly video games"- https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-08-06-igda-igdaf-issues-statement-on-weekend-shootings-in-the-usOoblets dev received thousands of "hateful, threatening messages"- https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-08-05-ooblets-dev-received-thousands-of-hateful-threatening-messages-over-epic-exclusivitySteam takes down Devotion- https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18239937/taiwanese-horror-game-devotion-gone-steam-removed-winnie-the-pooh-meme-chinaScreen Queensland Announces Successful Recipients of the 2018-19 Game Development and Marketing Investment Program- https://screenqueensland.com.au/news/on-screen/screen-queensland-announces-successful-recipients-of-the-2018-19-game-development-and-marketing-investment-program/Applications now open for the Game Development and Marketing Investment Program 2019- https://screenqueensland.com.au/news/on-screen/applications-now-open-for-the-game-development-and-marketing-investment-program-2019/Screen Queensland (SQ) are inviting applications from Queensland game developers seeking finance for games with a global audience.

That trip occurred in early August 1888, as the entrepreneurial lady took her sons Eugen and Richard, fifteen and fourteen years old, respectively, on a ride from Mannheim through Heidelberg, and Wiesloch, to her maternal hometown of Pforzheim. As well as being the driver, Benz acted as mechanic on the drive, cleaning the carburettor with her hat pin and using a garter to insulate wire. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benz_Patent-Motorwagen5 Aug 1926 – Harry Houdini performs his greatest feat, spending 91 minutes underwater in a sealed tank before escaping. - https://www.historychannel.com.au/this-day-in-history/houdinis-last-stunt/5 Aug 1930 – S. A. Andrée’s balloon polar expedition of 1897 was aimed to cross over the North Pole in 43 hours in a hydrogen balloon then journey on to land thanks to the financial support of the Swedish King Oscar II and Alfred Nobel. Andrée’s balloon lost much of its steering capabilities just after launch when a number of drag ropes fell from the craft and ballast sand was thrown overboard. The remaining ropes could be seen trailing in the water till the balloon vanished out of sight. And that was the last anyone heard or saw of the trio for more than 30 years. Discovery came on the 5th August 1930 when the Norwegian Bratvaag expedition found remains on White Island, on the Svalbard archipelago, of a headless body, disturbed by polar bears propped up against a rock. Further investigations by a journalist revealed the bodies of both his companions and diaries detailing much of their ordeal. A camera was also found, and 93 eerie negatives developed of their tragic journey. The remains of the expedition were brought home to Stockholm to a grand procession, where they were feted as national heroes. - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/strange-story-of-the-balloon-expedition-to-the-north-poleIntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rss

2:56pm NZ time today marks exactly 50 years since Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon and uttered those legendary words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". We look at the celebrations around the world and how Apollo 11's moon landing changed space flight forever.A moonstruck United States celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's "giant leap" by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin at parties, races, ball games and concerts todayAt NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Aldrin showed Vice President Mike Pence the launch pad where he flew to the moon in 1969. At the same time halfway around the world, an American and two other astronauts blasted into space on a Russian rocket. And in Armstrong's hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio, nearly 2,000 runners competed in "Run to the Moon" races."Apollo 11 is the only event in the 20th century that stands a chance of being widely remembered in the 30th century," the vice president said.Neil Armstrong's historic first steps on the moon, 50 years ago today. Photo / APWapakoneta 10K runner Robert Rocco, 54, a retired Air Force officer from Centerville, Ohio, called the moon landing by Armstrong and Aldrin "perhaps the most historic event in my lifetime, maybe in anybody's lifetime."At the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Gilda Warden sat on a bench and gazed in awe at the Apollo 11 command module, Columbia, on display."It's like entering the Sistine Chapel and seeing the ceiling. You want to just sit there and take it in," said Warden, 63, a psychiatric nurse from Tacoma, Washington.Neil Armstrong's iconic photograph of Edwin 'Buzz Aldrin' from the 1969 Apollo 11 mission which saw the first crew to land on the moon. Photo / APOn July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin undocked from Columbia in lunar orbit and then descended in the lunar module Eagle to the Sea of Tranquility. The Eagle landed with just 17 seconds of fuel to spare. Six hours later, Armstrong was the first to step onto the lunar surface, proclaiming for the ages: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."It was humanity's first footsteps on another world.In a speech at Kennedy, Pence paid tribute to Armstrong, Aldrin and command module pilot Michael Collins — if they're not heroes, "then there are no heroes" — as well as the 400,000 Americans who worked tirelessly to get them to the moon.Aldrin, 89, grabbed the right hand of Neil Armstrong's older son, Rick, at Pence's mention of heroes. He then stood and saluted, and received a standing ovation. Armstrong died in 2012. Collins, 88, did not attend the Florida ceremony. But Apollo 17's Harrison Schmitt, the next-to-last man to walk on the moon in 1972, was there.Pence reiterated the Trump administration's goal of sending American astronauts back to the moon within five years and eventually on to Mars. He said this next generation of astronauts will spend weeks and months on the lunar surface, not just days and hours like the 12 Apollo moonwalkers did. Alongside the stage was the newly completed Orion capsule that will fly to the moon and back, on a test flight without a crew, in another year or two.NASA had other celebrations going on today, most notably at Johnson Space Center in Houston, home to Mission Control; The US Space and Rocket Center next door to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where the Saturn V moon rockets were born; and the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington.And where better to celebrate than Apollo, Pennsylvania — located in Armstrong County not far from Moon Township and the town of Mars. The historical society revived the annual moon-landing celebration in honor of the big 50.

Alongside the stage was the newly completed Orion capsule that will fly to the moon and back, on a test flight without a crew, in another year or two.NASA had other celebrations going on today, most notably at Johnson Space Center in Houston, home to Mission Control; The US Space and Rocket Center next door to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where the Saturn V moon rockets were born; and the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington.And where better to celebrate than Apollo, Pennsylvania — located in Armstrong County not far from Moon Township and the town of Mars. The historical society revived the annual moon-landing celebration in honor of the big 50. All of the Apollo astronauts have long been honorary citizens of Apollo, the society's Alan Morgan said.The three crew members of Apollo 11 pose for a group portrait a few weeks before the launch, May 1969.

Czy kiedy było coraz bliżej do startu, wymykał się pan co noc, albo prawie co noc, i spoglądał na Księżyc? – Nie, nigdy – odpowiedział Armstrong*. Nigdzie nie musiał się wymykać. Wolał się wyspać. A zresztą wiedział, co widać z ogrodu w maleńkim (7 tys. mieszkańców) Wapakoneta w Ohio: Wielką Niedźwiedzicę, Wielki Wóz... mniej więcej to, co na niebie w Bieszczadach. Neil miał ciekawsze rzeczy do roboty, niż gapienie się na Księżyc z odległości prawie 400 tys. km od Ziemi. Wkrótce miał na nim stanąć. Mrzonki go nie interesowały. Przed lotem dziennikarz zapytał, co albo kogo chciałby zabrać ze sobą na Księżyc, Neil Armstrong odpowiedział: „więcej paliwa”.

Walk through the Cold War Gallery and stand near the Apollo 15 Command Module at the entrance to the Missile and Space Gallery. Wapakoneta native Neil Armstrong took his first airplane ride in a Ford Tri-Motor at the age of 6. As a young boy, he developed an interest in aviation and astronomy and earned his private pilot’s license when he was 16, before he learned to drive an automobile. In 1949 the U.S. Navy called him to active duty, and he served during the Korean War, flying 78 combat missions in Navy Panther jets. After earning a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering in 1955, he joined NASA’s Lewis Research Center and later transferred to the NASA High Speed Flight Station (now NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center) at Edwards Air Force Base, California, as an aeronautical research pilot. In this capacity, he performed as an X-15 project pilot. Other flight test work included piloting the X-1, F-100, F-101, F-102, F-104, B-47 and others. Armstrong was selected as the first civilian astronaut by NASA in September 1962. As command pilot for the Gemini XIII mission, launched on March 16, 1966. Armstrong performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space — the Gemini spacecraft and the Agena Target Vehicle. Armstrong was the commander for Apollo XI from July 16-24, 1969 — the first manned lunar landing mission. He holds the distinction of being the first human to walk on the moon. On July 20, 1969, a Lunar Module camera provided live television coverage of Armstrong setting foot on the lunar surface at 10:56 p.m. Just as he stepped off the Lunar Module, Armstrong proclaimed, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
