Dallas strip club fire that left 1 dead and 2 jailed is part of larger statewide arson probe
The fire is linked to a rash of strip club fires in Houston that were ordered by a nightclub mogul in that city who was intent on eliminating his competition in the industry, according to court testimony and documents.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the Black Diamonds nightclub in March 2016 and later turned its investigation over to the Justice Department after it was determined that the arson attempt was related to a larger criminal conspiracy based in Houston, according to officials.(Nathan Hunsinger / Staff Photographer)

This year, millions more people turned to the sweet and silky comforts of chocolate. Consumption of chocolate rose by at least 12 percent since March 2020, according to the National Confectioners Association. So pinning down the countryâs 50 best chocolatiers was likely a difficult â though delicious â challenge for Food & Wine magazine.
Four Massachusetts spots made the list: Chequesset Chocolate in North Truro, EH Chocolatier in Cambridge, Goodnow Farms Chocolate in Sudbury, and Taza Chocolate in Somerville. (No confectioners in Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine made the cut.)
The lingering aroma of printer’s ink may be succeeded by the scent of chocolate at 5 Namskaket Rd. ED MARONEY PHOTO
ORLEANS Seventy-five years ago, Jack and Laura Johnson of Truro cooked up an idea for a weekly newspaper. Under its second owner, Malcolm Hobbs, The Cape Codder built a headquarters at 5 Namskaket Rd. in with ample space for a printery, including a giant ink tank. The building would shake as a press operator announced each run: “Caaaaape Cod-uh!”
The press is long gone, stilled and sold by an off-Cape corporation that came to own the paper. Today, the Codder is printed in Auburn, near Worcester, the old printery converted to a fitness and wellness center.

For David Muhammad, feeling anger and fear triggered by the news isn t new; he copes by being there for the kids in his martial arts classes.
People targeted by the symbols on display during last week s insurrection might be experiencing historical trauma, also known as intergenerational trauma. Here s what it is, and how it can be triggered by the news.
On Jan. 6, as I tracked news from the U.S. Capitol from the safety of my home, my pulse quickened and my hands began to shake. I watched as people bearing symbols threatening violence against me ( Camp Auschwitz sweatshirts, Nazi flags) paraded through the halls of power, sending representatives of the institutions that should protect me into hiding.
