Florida's 95-year-old four-faced clock restored after 700 hours of expert work

A historic four-faced clock in Clearwater, Florida, has been fully restored after a painstaking 700-hour effort by clockmaker David H. Boyd. The 95-year-old timepiece had spent decades outdoors before undergoing the extensive restoration process. Boyd preserved the clock's original dial and hands while fitting it with new internal clockworks. The restored landmark has now been reinstalled on Cleveland Street, where it once again serves the community. The project is seen as a way of connecting Clearwater's historical heritage with modern-day functionality.

Nearly 1 Million Indians Face 179-Year Wait for US Employment Green Card

As of December 2025, close to one million Indian nationals are stuck in the US employment-based immigration backlog. The extraordinary wait time is estimated at approximately 179 years for some applicants. The massive backlog is driven by high demand from Indian-born skilled workers combined with per-country caps on green card allocations under US immigration law. These country-specific limits mean that applicants from high-demand nations like India face disproportionately longer waits than those from other countries. The situation highlights longstanding calls for reform of the US employment-based immigration system.
