Blethen, 79, confirmed his plans Monday in a Seattle Times interview. He has also seen it through difficult lows, including the Great Recession, an industrywide contraction and a seven-week strike by Seattle Times workers that began in 2000. Blethen declined to share his preference for a successor as publisher, but he said he would like it to be a member of the Blethen family.

[1] This underscores the defence and security nature of the summit and the importance of the Japan-US Security Alliance, as Kishida’s visit was the first by a Japanese leader in nine years. Ultimately, the latest Japan-US summit, which represents a continuation of a larger trend of shift in Japan’s security posture, shows the importance of the Japan-US Security Alliance and Japan’s determination to uphold and bolster a Free and Open Indo-Pacific and rules-based international order with like-minded countries.

Anya Taylor-Joy Jon Kopaloff via Getty ImagesAnya Taylor-Joy alluded to challenges during the nearly seven months she spent filming her newest movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. “Talk to me in 20 years.”Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga director George Miller with stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth Emma McIntyre via Getty ImagesAdvertisementWhile it’s unclear what specific roadblocks she faced, later in the interview Anya gushed over her director, George Miller, who created the Mad Max franchise. “I do want to 100 percent preface this by saying I love George and if you’re going to do something like this, you want to be in the hands of someone like George Miller,” she explained. “Within the first three minutes, I’m crying,” she told the outlet last week. I found it very traumatising to watch.”Charlize Theron, who originated the character of Furiosa in George Miller’s 2015 addition to the Mad Max series, Fury Road, has also spoken out about some of the stress she experienced on set during filming.

The Austrian skydivers Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel have become the first people to successfully navigate a wingsuit flight through London's Tower Bridge. The duo leapt from a helicopter at 3,000ft and flew across the River Thames, reaching a top speed of 246km per hour during the jump. The stunt came after extensive training in Oxfordshire, which involved the use of cranes to simulate the Tower Bridge dimensions.

UK MPs arrested on suspicion of serious sexual or violent offences could be barred from attending parliament after lawmakers changed the rules in a narrow vote late on Monday. Parliament decided by just one vote that any MP arrested over such accusations should face a risk assessment, which could lead to them being excluded from entering the House of Commons. The move toughens up a proposal by the Conservative government, which had said MPs should only be barred if they were actually charged with an offence after being arrested. Previously, MPs arranged with their own party whether they could attend parliament having been arrested for serious sexual or violent offences. Several MPs have been arrested for such offences since the last general election in 2019.

Mr Byrne is suing British Superbike Championship organiser Motorsport Vision Racing Ltd, track owner Motorsport Vision Ltd, and the sports's governing body, The Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board Ltd. Had better protective measures been put in place, it would have made a "material difference" to the outcome for Mr Byrne, he argued. "The defendants say Mr Byrne failed to control his bike and that Mr Byrne is the cause of his own misfortune," he continued. He highlighted a video showing Mr Byrne riding and added: "There are not many people who can handle a bike like Mr Byrne and the footage demonstrates that very clearly." He had approached the accident corner on the same line as he had done on the previous lap, in which there was no accident, he continued.

In his own free time, PC Paul Croft, of Chippenham Neighbourhood Policing Team, established the Responsible Dog Owners Course (RDOC) with Blue Cross Animal Charity after noticing an increase in dog-related offences. The course covers a range of topics on being a responsible dog owner including legislation and responsibilities, dog safety and canine communication and dog control and management. “During my research work, I discovered that approximately 70 per cent of dog bite incidents happen in people’s homes, with most victims being young children,” said PC Croft. Insp Pete Foster said: “The work PC Croft has carried out to improve the response to dog bite incidents not only in Wiltshire, but nationally, is exceptional and should be commended. “I have no doubt that the online course and the assembly for young children will help prevent future dog bite incidents and potentially save lives.”

The images of the death and destruction provided by CNN reveal the callousness of the attacks. He insisted to podcaster Dan Senor that Israel had "been able to keep the ratio of civilians to combatants killed... (to) a ratio of about one to one." www.cbsnews.com/… His figures do not square with the data used by the State Department, UN agencies and European Human Rights organisations. Imagine how difficult it will be for international negotiators to sit across from a delusional leader such as PM Netanyahu who denies the reality of death perpetrated by his armed forces. Members of the same forces have admitted to journalists at +972 magazine what the reality is.

May 14, 2024 23:00:00It is pointed out that the brain's ability to flush out waste products is weakened during sleep and anesthesiaIn March 2024, researchers from the University of Washington published a paper claiming thatthey had elucidated the mechanism by which sleep flushes waste products from the brain . However, a team of researchers from Imperial College London has made the exact opposite point, that the ability to flush waste products is actually weakened during sleep. It has been confirmed that if rhythmic brain waves are inhibited, fresh cerebrospinal fluid is not sent and waste products remain. Although there has been an increasing number of studies linking sleep deprivation to the risk of Alzheimer's disease in recent years, it remains unclear whether sleep deprivation causes Alzheimer's disease or whether sleep deprivation is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Another aspect of this study is that it shows that the brain's ability to clear waste products is more efficient when you're awake.

Photo: George Beck--Slough Town have confirmed that six more players have signed new deals which will keep them at the club next season, as Scott Davies seeks to keep together the core of this season's squad. Last week, Maidstone United revealed they'd signed central defender Temi Eweka ahead of next season, while Tyrese Dyce is also set to depart for pastures new. However, six more players have committed to the club for the 2024/25 season, as confirmed by Davies and Ashley Smith at last week's fans' forum at Arbour Park. “The versatile Jeanmal Prosper made 47 appearances for Scott Davies’ side last season after his move from Chesham United last summer, and he will come up against his former club again next season. “Finally, goalkeeper Hugo Sobte – an able deputy in five matches last season – will also be part of Scott Davies’ squad going into the new season.”
