Blockade on 66 East this afternoon

Ok, this is one mile before reaching Arlington on 66 East but close enough? At around 5 this afternoon, I was coming down the merge ramp from the Dulles Toll Road onto 66 when I saw that, just before the merge, traffic had come to a stop on 66 because a state police car was blocking each lane. But the traffic from the toll road was free to proceed. It seemed strange. Anyone know what was going on?

I'm writing this as someone who believes farm animals should be treated well and fed a proper diet. For chickens, that includes not jamming them into cages or packing them so tightly they have no room to turn around or wander, and should have time to be out, pecking around, and doing what chickens do. But I've got a question: In the winter, how much cold can chickens tolerate? I'm thinking that in colder climates, chickens are gonna want to congregate indoors all the time and huddle together for warmth anyway. If that's so, then chickens whose lives occur during the winter months, of their own accord, aren't really going to be free-range or pasture-raised anyway, right? I'm not making an argument or taking a position with this question, I'm looking for information that will help me understand what actually happens.

In this frame from yusuftheteacher on Instagram, I don't understand why it's bilemedim instead of bilmedim. As written, doesn't it mean "I couldn't have known what to say", not "I didn't know what to say"? Since the account's purpose is to give English tips to Turkish speakers, I don't want to bother the creator for Turkish guidance.

Why is the name of former South Korean president 이승만 rendered in English publications as "Syngman Rhee"? Where does the "rh" come from--isn't 이 just the vowel "i" or "ee"?--and what transcription system uses "y" for the ㅡ jamo?
