    Missouri Cops Accused of Pulling Over Women and Searching Their Phones for Nudes
    In two separate legal cases, former police officers in Missouri have been charged with pulling women over and then searching their cell phones for nude pictures. On Tuesday, 39-year-old former Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper David McKnight was indicted by a grand jury in U.S. District Court, a press release states. McKnight, who resigned from the force in August, is accused of taking cell phones from nine different women and, upon finding nude or sexually explicit pictures, taking pictures of them with his own phone. McKnight allegedly told the women that he needed their phones to confirm they had insurance or to verify their identity. Eventually, he deleted those pictures from his phone, the press release claims, citing the indictment. The offenses are alleged to have taken place between September 1, 2023 and Aug. 19, 2024. The Associated Press reports that McKnight was arrested by patrol investigators on Aug. 21 and resigned several days later. He is now charged with one count of destroying records in a federal investigation and nine counts of deprivation of rights related to an unreasonable search and seizure.On Thursday, another former police officer, 29-year-old Julian Alcala, who previously worked for the Missouri city of Florissant, was accused of doing very much the same thing. Another federal press release accuses Alcala of searching the phones of 20 different women. Like McKnight, authorities claim Alcala would take pictures of nude photographs he found on the womens phones. The Seattle Times reports that Alcala had not been with the police departmentlong, joining in January 2023. The alleged offenses took place between Feb. 6, 2024, and May 18, 2024, the DOJs press release states. Alcala faces similar charges to McKnight.In a statement posted to its Facebook page, the Florissant Police Department said, of the allegations against Alcala: We are disgusted at this behavior, which is a complete betrayal of the values we uphold and in no way reflects the professionalism and integrity of our dedicated officers. We recognize the gravity of this breach of trust and its impact on our community. The statement added: Alcala was hired as a full-time Police Officer with the City of Florissant after a meticulous and thorough background investigation, which revealed no areas of concern. During his eleven months of employment, he received no complaints or accusations of misconduct.Prosecutors are asking other people who think they may have been impacted by similar crimes to come forward. Gizmodo reached out to the Missouri State Highway Patrol for comment.

    Fallout Got to Be a Hit Show on Its Own Terms, Says Xbox Boss
    Prime VideosFalloutshow was pretty surprising when it came out, both because it ended up being really good, and because Bethesda didnt trot out a game around its release. No remaster, no new title, not even so much as a tease for Fallout 5but in the eyes of Xbox head Phil Spencer, that ended up working out for everyone involved. During the recent Paley International Council Summit, Spencer admitted what weve known for a while: neither Xbox and Bethesda [had] a newFalloutgame lined up for the shows launch. That lack of preparedness, he continued, gave the show freedom that wouldnt have been afforded if we tried to coordinate production of two very different creative processes to land at the same time. Given how the last few years have been filled with layoffs across the games industry and labor strikes in Hollywood, and that Bethesda itself spent years largely occupied with developing Starfield, hes not wrong in saying that kind of synergy wouldve been basically impossible. Plus, in his words: The play is much more long term than trying to drive some gift buying. Thats not to say the Fallout show simply came out and thrived in a vacuum: variousentries in the series surged in players following the shows release. Fallout 76, the last big game in the series, especially prospered, and Spencer noted both it and the Fallout Shelter mobile title could serve as suitable entry points into the games for anyone enticed by the show. Still, theres no denying that anyone seeking a new single-player experience in the series will be waiting awhile: the last core entry was Fallout 4, which came out back in 2015, and its anyones guess as to when Fallout 5 will come out. The shows currently in production on season two, and itll hopefully hit Prime Video in the near-ish future. But as great as the series is, it can only be so much of a substitute for the real, solitary thing, especially with how long the gap between game sequels can get.[via Inverse] Want more io9 news?

MORFEUS arkitekter was engaged by clients Astri and Henrik Botten Taubll in 2017 to design a new home on their recently inherited property, Sorbyhaugen 24 in Oslo. The choice fell jointly on rebuilding, transforming, and extending the original house from 1933, even though the house was in poor condition. The result is a contemporary, unique architectural object with a distinctive local, historical anchoring. The property is in the district of Ullern in Oslo, on a ridge sloping westwards towards the small stream "Makrellbekken". The terrain falls steeply, approximately 30 meters in a westerly direction, and the site is characterized by tall pine trees amidst a splendid view towards the Oslo fjord in the southwest.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The original residence on the property dates back to 1933 and belonged to the client's grandmother. Early functionalist wooden villas are typical for this neighborhood. The original house on this site, Sorbyhaugen 24, had no distinct conservation value. Typical functionalistic detailing, and the use of colors in the exterior and interior, have therefore been reintroduced, yet with a more modern twist on architectural expression, detailing, and floor plans.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The original layout of the floor plans involved a lot of corridor space and subdivided, separate rooms. The new floor plans for the house are almost a mirror image: with large open living areas around a central core consisting of kitchen, wash- and bathrooms. Vertical openings up and down from the ground floor living areas provide more contact between different floors and provide a new openness to the house that otherwise has a limited 2,4-meter ceiling height.Save this picture!The property's location is magnificent with a beautiful view of the Oslo Fjord and the proximate tall pine trees. Contact with the surroundings was limited in the original house as the windows were quite small but are now taken to full extent through large windows from floor to ceiling. The use of color both inside and outside is generally inspired by the color scheme of the functionalism period, and also by the client's colorful grandmother. The project involves a high degree of sustainable reuse. Existing floor beams, chimneys, fireplaces, and large parts of the outer wall construction have been preserved and used. At the same time, new windows and doors have been installed, and the external walls and roof have been insulated to match today's energy standards. The house is now ready for a new generation, and more to come for another 90 years.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMORFEUS arkitekterOfficeMaterialWoodMaterials and TagsPublished on November 17, 2024Cite: "The Green House / MORFEUS arkitekter" 17 Nov 2024.
