It just keeps getting worse for America's national museum. Revulsion over the pay and spending of Smithsonian chief Lawrence M. Small has inspired the full U.S. Senate to freeze the institution's public funding and cap executive salaries at no more than the President's (which would mean a pay cut of more than 50% for Small). The former auditor of the place claimed Small pressured her to back off looking into his spending, and today Small finally did the obvious.
Of course that whole thing follows the general disgust over the Smithsonian's deal last year with Showtime, an issue which remains unresolved.
Meanwhile, and apparently unrelated to the above, a blue-ribbon panel appointed in 2005 by the Smithsonian has concluded that the institution's eight art museums are "failing on many levels." The panel's leaked report says, according to The Art Newspaper, that “The Smithsonian’s art collections, taken together, might be expected to be a kind of national encyclopedia of the world’s art, like those in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or Chicago; but in reality they are not. [And] to the extent that their designation as ‘national’ museums implies qualitative superiority and leadership, they have seldom lived up to their names.”
Ouch and double ouch...the panel thinks at least two Smithsonian-related art museums should be flat-out closed, and is barely more kind about a couple of others. With the director of the National Museum of Natural History keeping Small's chair warm, the Smithsonian is conducting a national search for his permanent replacement. They're going to need somebody a lot sharper than they've had lately, from all appearances.

I find info that this vote is unanimous, and I find info that this should has to go through a joint House-Senate review, but I can't find any info on the specific voice vote or the amendment number.
My guess is whoever makes these scholarship places are probably not going to be known names at the Fortnite neighborhood, as those people are already making that streaming cash, fortnite items seller and the majority of them are older than 17-18, not just going to begin college. So, it may be one, I suppose, a better-than-most Fortnite participant who would prefer some money to go to school in Ohio.
I'll post more about open tryouts when that advice is available, but begin your training now, as this definitely won't be the past Fortnite scholarship we see in this nation.Fortnite continues to add and subtract weapons from the game, and this time, some coveted brand new guns are probably being added, according to a recent leak.
The info comes from Fortnite Tracker, which attracts data files from the game and turns them to potential leaks to share. "Bullpup" usually refers to a gun that has the magazine behind the trigger, and so that naming convention here is a bit odd. Additionally, these two firearms are currently in Fortnite's Save the World mode, and while it is possible they may come to Battle Royale, I am not going to rule this out might not come to pass of buy fortnite weapons. Still, even though these are STW guns, they are showing up here with BR-adjusted hurt values.
