They shot many people at a close range.”Quader said, “A child who went to observe the movement was shot and killed; where was the bullet?

Nicole's Impossibly Possible Ideas: Impossible Circles
The EMT asked if he would go get the grandma. “I don’t want Life Flight,” CJ managed to say. I shouldn’t presume he didn’t have health insurance, but even if one does have health insurance, Life Flight is probably not free. Plus, the Life Flight would need the field near where we parked to land. Life Flight.

Rohit faces selection dilemma as Rahul, Pant eye India keeper role
Pant also played in two of the three T20s against Sri Lanka last month but faces competition from Rahul, who has been solid behind the stumps and impressed during the 2023 50-overs World Cup at home. It's not easy to pick a team when you have players like that," Rohit told reporters ahead of Friday's opening ODI in Colombo. When you discuss a lot about whom to pick, it means there's quality in the squad. Rohit handed over captaincy duties to Suryakumar Yadav after his retirement in T20s following their World Cup win in June but is expected to stay in the role in 50-overs cricket with the Champions Trophy scheduled for next year. "That's more important, more than thinking that it's a preparation so let's go out and chill in Colombo."

I was wrong about rent stabilization
Many have struggled with dramatically increasing rents in recent years, and rent stabilization is one way to provide and enforce predictability in the rents that tenants pay. A year ago, I regrettably joined my colleagues on the Rockville City Council in signing a letter against Montgomery County’s implementation of rent stabilization. In other words, rent stabilization would have little effect on most renters and, by extension, many landlords. Implementation of rent stabilization as outlined by Montgomery County will have no impact on most housing units. Rent stabilization will help a significant number of people and families stay in their homes, which has many benefits in addition to being a moral goal to fight for.

Two killed, 28 missing in north India floods
NEW DELHI, Aug 1, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Heavy monsoon downpours in India's Himalayan foothills triggered flash floods that killed two people, officials said Thursday, with the hunt on for around 28 others still missing. Fatal floods and landslides are common across India during the annual monsoon but experts say climate change is increasing their frequency, intensity and unpredictability. In neighbouring Shimla district, a popular tourist destination in India's rugged north, local official Abhishek Verma said rescue crews were searching for around 20 more people believed missing. Landslides and flash floods killed more than 70 people in the state last year, also washing away arterial roads that left thousands stranded. At least 176 people were killed in the southern state of Kerala this week when landslides hit villages and tea plantations, with search and rescue operations ongoing.
