Cloobeck and Gurzanski dated from July to December last year, when their relationship spectacularly imploded, sparking a legal battle. Gurzanski's texts, obtained by DailyMail.com, show her conversations with the matchmaker the day before, day of, and day after the incident.

Google halts plans for Google Pay-based banking service
Google has stopped working on its Plex service, which aimed to let you do your banking through the Google Pay app. Instead, Google planned to partner with a variety of financial institutions that would have provided accounts without monthly or overdraft fees and without minimum balances. Like some other online banks, Google’s app would have let users set things like savings targets and automatic transfers. Some of the banks Google planned to partner with included Citi and SEFCU. While there are still other options for people who want online banks with decent apps, it’s unfortunate to see that Google’s canceled this project.

Judge shelves Nikola’s $2 billion patent lawsuit against Tesla
A federal judge has administratively closed a $2 billion patent infringement lawsuit hydrogen trucking startup Nikola filed against Tesla in 2018, essentially pulling it off the Northern District Court of California’s docket because the two companies stopped responding. Nikola tried to make the case that Tesla’s own Tesla Semi was using the same wraparound windshield, mid-entry doors, and aerodynamic fuselage, among other details. The startup also alleged that a Tesla recruiter had tried to poach Nikola’s chief engineer, and claimed this was evidence that Tesla was interested in Nikola’s designs. (At one point last year, Tesla tried to argue that Nikola stole the design for its own truck from Croatian hypercar company Rimac.) In April 2020, Tesla lost a bid with the US Patent and Trademark Office to invalidate some of the patents in question.

Melania and White House aides called Ivanka and Jared 'the interns' because they were 'obnoxious'
But she and Melania Trump also sometimes dissed Javanka as 'the interns' for their tendency to jump into all manner of subjects in the White House. Their involvement became problematic in the early days of the pandemic, as the White House struggled to come up with a policy and a communications response. In the book, Grisham described it as a 'very common procedure' where 'a patient is sometimes put under.' Grisham terms her husband, former White House aide Jared Kushner, 'the Slim Reaper' for getting involved in projects designated for others, she wrote. Publisher Harper Collins calls the book 'The most frank and intimate portrait of the Trump White House yet.'

Honor's foldable Magic X to be released in Q4
According to noted Chinese tipster Honor is about to release its first foldable phone before the end of Q4 this year and will allegedly be similar to Huawei's Mate X2 as the development strated before the separation of the two companies. The device is internally known as Magic X, but it's not certain if that will be its final marketing name. Previously Honor's CEO George Zhao revealed his company is working on a foldable phone and believed it will be the best one in the industry. Seeing how great the Mate X2 is and how Honor isn't limited by the sanctions imposed on Huawei we wouldn't be surprised if that was indeed the case. The blogger Digital Chat Station mentioned that there will be differences between the Magic X and the Mate X2, but failed to provide mode details about them.

What are YOUR rights if cop stops you on street?
Police only have the power to stop someone if they have reasonable grounds that you have committed a crime. A 'stop' occurs when an officer stops and asks you questions, but this is not an official stop and search and you can leave at any moment. If you try to resist the search, an officer can use 'reasonable force' and can also arrest you. During a search, an officer can only ask you to remove outer clothing when in public, such as a jacket, coat or gloves. Police must fill out a form giving the reasons for a stop and search and give you a copy unless it is not possible.
