Hospital Pounded by Putin’s Army Braces for Fresh Bloodbath
OKHTYRKA, Ukraine—The horror of what happened at the start of the war still haunts 50-year-old Oleg Deinichenko, the medical director of Okhtyrka Hospital. The Russian army had entered the city on the first day of the invasion. They clashed with Ukrainian fighters in what became the start of a months-long bloody campaign to control the city and the roads to the neighboring regions Kharkiv and Poltava. Hundreds of wounded citizens had flooded the city’s main hospital through March and February, forcing doctors to live in the hospital’s basement for weeks on end. On Feb. 26, the second day of the Russian invasion , 70 Ukrainian soldiers died at an army base in the city center. Shocked, wounded soldiers with missing limbs overran the hospital, Deinichenko told The Daily Beast “I will never forget one grandfather who died after being hit while walking on the street with his granddaughter. He died, and the granddaughter was brought here. I don’t know how to describe her injuries, … [Read more...] about Hospital Pounded by Putin’s Army Braces for Fresh Bloodbath
Two Killed as Car Crashes Into D.C. Fireworks Stand
WASHINGTON, D.C.— At least two people were killed Saturday when a car careened into a fireworks stand in the northeast of the city. Police say they believe the driver of the vehicle had suffered a medical emergency, though they stressed that the “major crash” was still under investigation. Assistant Metro D.C. Police Chief Wilfredo Manlapaz told reporters at an evening press conference that both victims were adult males. He said the fatal crash transpired after a truck ran a red light and “struck a bicyclist in the crosswalk” before careening into the fireworks stand. “At this point, preliminarily, we believe the driver was suffering from some type of medical emergency, but we’re still investigating the incident,” Manlapaz said. Both the bicyclist and worker at the fireworks stand were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names were not immediately released. The crash caused panic in the area on Fourth of July weekend, with ambulances and fire trucks swarming the area. … [Read more...] about Two Killed as Car Crashes Into D.C. Fireworks Stand
Doomsday Dad Chad Daybell Believed He Was a Seer Who Could See ‘Beyond the Veil’
In December 2019, police in Rexburg, Idaho alerted the media: Two children had gone missing, along with their mother, Lori Vallow, and her new husband, Chad Daybell. No one had any idea where they were. Quickly, speculation swirled—that maybe their disappearances, and their whereabouts, could be linked to the “cult-like” religious beliefs held by Vallow and Daybell. Both were avowed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Daybell had found a small amount of celebrity within Mormon circles for authoring LDS fiction and running his own book publishing company. But both Vallow and Daybell also entertained ideas at the fringes of the Mormon faith—ideas that weren’t acceptable to talk about in church on Sundays. They held study groups and scrutinized the works of “near-death experience” authors who claimed to have died and come back to life with knowledge from “beyond the veil.” Much has been discussed about : the gorgeous mother and former beauty queen … [Read more...] about Doomsday Dad Chad Daybell Believed He Was a Seer Who Could See ‘Beyond the Veil’
Your July Fourth celebrations will be more expensive this year
New York (CNN Business) Fourth of July celebrations are going to be a lot more expensive this year. The silver lining? Beer is still relatively cheap. In the four weeks ending on June 12, the price of a hot dog package jumped about 17% compared to last year, according to the market research firm IRI, which tracks total US multi-outlet retail sales at US supermarkets, big-box retailers, convenience stores and other locations. In that same period, ketchup prices spiked 21%, ground beef prices increased 11%, and hamburger and hot dog buns jumped nearly 13%. Other grilling items also got more expensive. Frozen meat, not including poultry, went up 16%, frozen sausages got nearly 27% pricier, and lettuce prices rose about 13%. Mustard also got about 13% pricier. Beer, on the other hand, spiked only about 4%. That's a bargain, considering that the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, a key inflation gauge, increased by 6.3% for the … [Read more...] about Your July Fourth celebrations will be more expensive this year
The surprising reason supermarkets sell flowers
New York (CNN Business) All stores have marketing tactics to get you in the door — stylish mannequins, elaborate display windows, posters screaming about all the discounts you can find inside. But some are far more subtle, so much so that chances are you've hardly ever noticed them. Picture your local grocery store, for example. What do you see when you first walk in? Most likely: Flowers. Big, bright bouquets of fresh-cut blooms greet shoppers inside just about every major grocer, from Whole Foods to Kroger to innumerable New York City bodegas. That's no coincidence — there's a strategic decision behind those flowers' placement. "It is very, very simple," says Paco Underhill, the founder and CEO of behavioral research and consulting firm Envirosell. "If you can get someone's nose and saliva glands working, they become a much less disciplined shopper." Read More That's right: Flowers fire up the senses, getting you ready to spend.

Medication abortion is common; here’s how it works
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 Medication abortions became the preferred method for ending pregnancy in the U.S. even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. These involve taking two prescription medicines days apart — at home or in a clinic. Abortion procedures are an invasive medical technique that empties the womb. They are sometimes called surgical abortions, although they don’t involve surgery. Abortion by pills involves the drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. As more states seek abortion limits, demand for the pills is expected to grow. HOW THE DRUGS WORK Mifepristone is taken first, swallowed by mouth. The drug dilates the cervix and blocks the effects of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to sustain a pregnancy. Misoprostol, a drug also used to treat stomach ulcers, is taken 24 to 48 hours later. The pill is designed to dissolve when placed between the gums and teeth or in the … [Read more...] about Medication abortion is common; here’s how it works
It’s Not Too Early to Get Excited About a Subway Series
Photo: Frank Franklin II/AP/Shutterstock/Frank Franklin II/AP/Shutterstoc I had just moved to New York when the last World Series between the Mets and Yankees took place, in 2000. Though I hadn’t lived in the city long, its baseball pecking order was clear enough to anyone. The series pitted the then-dominant Yankees (who had won three of the previous four World Series) against the plucky Mets (who trailed the Yankees in total World Series titles by … 23). The series, which the Yankees won 4-1, reflected that dynamic; it felt like a big brother allowing his tinier sibling a few meek swings at him before felling him with one straight jab. The only thing anyone really remembers from it is Roger Clemens losing his mind and throwing a splintered, broken bat at Mike Piazza. It was a lunatic moment made even more surreal by the fact that Clemens both avoided an ejection and ended up tossing eight shutout innings, earning the win. (Seriously, I still can’t believe this happened.) … [Read more...] about It’s Not Too Early to Get Excited About a Subway Series
Doctors look to athletes for clues to COVID’s heart impacts
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 BALTIMORE (AP) — Doctors learned early in the pandemic that COVID-19 was more than a respiratory disease. It was attacking bodily organs, including the heart — even in healthy, young athletes. Enough athletes with COVID were experiencing heart inflammation, called myocarditis, that doctors at the University of Maryland and other Big Ten schools didn’t want to take any chances. Myocarditis already was seen as one of the leading causes of sudden death in elite athletes, so doctors across the conference immediately imposed official protocols that kept some players off the fields for up to six months. Some grumbled, but everyone recovered. “They could be walking time bomb and we’d only find out retrospectively,” said Dr. Yvette Rooks, who oversees care for more than 530 athletes on 19 teams as head team physician at the University of Maryland, College Park. “Some had symptoms and many … [Read more...] about Doctors look to athletes for clues to COVID’s heart impacts
Play tells story of filling in pools rather than integrating

(AP) — As American citizens celebrated freedom and liberty in their nation on Independence Day, 1961, a government founded on notions of the inalienable human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness took action at a local level to deny those rights to their fellow citizens whose skin was not white. This little-taught chapter of local history is being brought to life in an original play, “Buried Deep,” produced through Endstation Theatre Company, affiliated with Randolph College. On that sweltering July day in Lynchburg, as many residents sought the relief offered by public pools, the city closed those pools down because some Black residents went to swim in the whites-only pools at Miller and Riverside parks. They were exercising their civil rights and making intentional strides toward integration and … [Read more...] about Play tells story of filling in pools rather than integrating
