 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24. The planes have brought in technical ​equipment as well as dozens of physicians, engineers, lab experts and construction work...

 Kentucky mom and daughter refuse $26M offer to sell their farms to mysterious Fortune 100 company


A Kentucky mother and her daughter have turned down a massive $26 million offer 


from a developer representing a mysterious Fortune 100 company that aimed to build a large data center on their land.


Ida Huddleston, 82, said she has repeatedly refused the offer for her 71-acre property in Mason County, which was valued at $60,000 per acre, totaling $4.26 million. 


Her daughter, Delsia Bare, also rejected an offer of $48,000 per acre for her 463-acre farmland, a sum exceeding $22 million.


“I said I don’t want your money, I don’t need your money, but I do feel sorry for everybody around us,” Huddleston told LEX 18. 


The two women explained that their refusal stems from concerns about how the data center could affect the wider community. 


!They also noted that the secrecy surrounding the project, including the company’s refusal to reveal its identity, only strengthened their determination to keep every acre.


Bare said, “When they will not reveal who they are, that’s a major factor in what you’re going to do with the rest of your life if you’re stuck here or even if you leave.” 


Despite the economic potential of the project, they remain unconvinced that the promised jobs will materialize. 


“My guess is you won’t have over 50, and they won’t even be here at this building when it’s said and done,” Bare added.


Huddleston made her position clear: “I’m staying put.” Meanwhile, local officials report that if the project goes forward, it could generate around 400 full-time jobs and 1,500 construction jobs. 


But the Mason County Fiscal Court must still approve the plan. In recent weeks, other tech giants have sought rural sites for data centers, including Amazon’s acquisition of George Washington University’s Virginia Science and Technology Campus for a similar purpose.
