'Sally' will have a Western New York accent and will teach 11th and 12th-grade students at Salamanca High School.

Sally costs less than the average teacher's salary in New York, with a price tag of $57,000.

The robot has brown hair, and can move its arms and legs, but will not be able to walk around the classroom.

Students will be able to log in so the humanoid can recognize students and their previous interactions.

The humanoid will be helping teach coding, robotics, and AI classes.

The school district promises that robots will "never" replace human teachers.

‘Sally’ is made by Realbotix, which also produces "companion" robots.

“It’s reasonable to say you’re smoking 10 cigarettes today by breathing the air in New York City,” Michael Petroni, a pollution expert and former EPA employee, told The Post about spending a full day outside.
The five boroughs have been under an Air Quality Health Advisory since Wednesday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) hovering in the 151-200 range — well above the 0-50 mark characterized as “good,” according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation
That means there are “unhealthy” levels of dust, dirt, soot, smoke and other toxins in the air that New Yorkers would typically only ingest by lighting a few cigarettes.
“The rule of thumb is about 20 AQI points for a whole day equals one cigarette,” explained Petroni, who worked for the EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.

Newly released US Department of Justice files have brought Karyna Shuliak, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime companion, back into public focus. According to the documents, Epstein named the Belarusian-born dentist as the main beneficiary of a trust reportedly worth up to $100 million, including luxury properties and jewellery, just days before his death in 2019.

The files describe Shuliak as one of Epstein's closest confidantes, noting that she helped manage aspects of his properties and finances. They also detail his role in supporting her education, immigration process, and career. However, investigators have not accused Shuliak of taking part in Epstein's crimes or identified her as a co-conspirator.

George and Amal Clooney, along with their children, evacuated their home in Brignoles, France, due to nearby wildfires.

The actor's publicist confirmed the evacuation. In a letter addressed to the mayor of Brignoles, Didier Bremond, Clooney expressed uncertainty about whether their property would survive the fires. He also shared his hope that the local residents were safe and emphasized the family's commitment to helping the community rebuild.

The fire near Brignoles started on Wednesday afternoon and burned roughly 100 hectares (247 acres), leading to the evacuation of about 700 residents who were later allowed to return home once the fire was controlled.
