Nicely done Ms. Ellis. Please tell me the marketing team currently working on a cameo spot with the Charmin bears.

The summer has been flush with opportunities for American 400-metre champion Kendall Ellis.

Aging like a fine wine.

We used Avenue Roofing to replace roof and gutters. Professional and excellent customer service. Not inexpensive but they are going to be in business in the years to come in case there are any problems or warranty issues. Our gutter system was redesigned to handle the ever increasing rain volume.

But the new research, which has been peer-reviewed but not yet published in a journal, uses a state-of-the-art model to estimate when it could collapse, suggesting a shutdown could happen between 2037 and 2064.

This research suggests it’s more likely than not to collapse by 2050.

...

“Until a few years ago, we were discussing whether it would happen at all, as a kind of low-probability, high-impact risk,” Rahmstorf told CNN. “And now it looks a lot more likely than just a few years ago that this will happen. Now people are starting to close in on when it will happen.”

A very sad and frightening interpretation of the tenets of Christianity.

What followed in Wallnau’s morning sermon were a series of greatest hits of the Maga right: January 6 (not an insurrection), the 2020 election (marred by fraud) and Covid-19 (a Chinese bioweapon).

“Tolerance IS NOT A commandment,” read one poster, propped up in front of the pro-Trump Turning Point USA stall outside the tent.

A bit off topic, can't say enough about getting multiple quotes and ensuring the contractor is trustworthy/competent. Get everything in writing, plus clauses about warranties, what costs are covered, timelines and possible penalties if timelines are not met. Good luck with your reno.

A bit more information would be helpful. Ages, number of people, when you will be here. askTO folks are really great at coming up with ideas - the more info the better.

Any trusted friend or neighbour you can ask?

Perhaps you can have a neighbour take care of the garbage bins, get a hold mail service from Canada Post and buy one of those automated plant watering systems from Canadian Tire (not expensive - sounds fancier than it is). This is my plan when away on holiday.

Our neighbour has our mobile number if it looks like there's been a break-in or external property damage.

As The Globe says, we got to stop calling these "accidents".

We call crashes “accidents,” even when the causes, from driver speed to road design, are deliberate choices.

Some of the solutions mentioned in the article:

• reduce speed limits

• road redesign

• eliminate right turns on red

• eliminate slip lanes

• increase penalities

Not clear why Air New Zealand is also pulling out of the Science Based Targets Initiative. Is this like throwing in the towel until more fuel efficient aircraft are available?

Air New Zealand also confirmed its intention to immediately withdraw from the Science Based Targets Initiative. The SBTi network is a United Nations-backed climate action group that seeks to help companies reduce their emissions in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Saseendran said at least 73 bodies have been recovered and dozens more are feared missing. “We don’t have an exact figure, but we are speaking to families both for getting an estimate of who is missing and for identifying bodies,” he said.

Breezethrough leggings line a lemon

Lululemon thought it had developed its next hit. But after its new leggings became the butt of endless jokes, the company will have to leave them behind.

Erdogan treating the kid the same way he did his grandson.

In Turkey, it is customary to kiss the hands of elders as a sign of respect.

...

After a moment, the child kissed his hand, and the president handed him money.

This is not the first such incident involving the President of Turkey - last year, Erdogan slapped his grandson in a similar manner.

Yeah, some flags made in China flags have a manufacturing defect and only hang upside down.

Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S. The U.S. imports millions of American flags from overseas, mostly from China, and the sponsors of the proposal said it’s time for American flags to originate in the country they represent.

First week in the job, that's going to scar someone for life. Luckily the manager was easily distracted.

Collins says his manager became distracted by traffic and a nearby cop car, and that’s when he got away.
