The evacuation orders, which were supposed to last until Wednesday, were extended into Thursday by city officials. The fire, caused by the explosion of lithium batteries, is releasing toxic fumes, according to the Associated Press. Residents living in about 950 nearby homes were ordered to leave alongside those in a nearby school, church and small businesses. People can return to their homes at 9 p.m. on Thursday. “I really feel sorry that it’s hurting the community,” the owner of the building, Jin Zheng, told the Associated Press....

The United States owes two large debts to the fourth Earl of Sandwich. It owes its independence, at least in part, to his incompetence as First Lord of the Admiralty during the Revolutionary War. And one day (and night) in 1762 the Earl, a live wire with the ladies and an indefatigable gambler, spent 24 hours at a gaming table, where he solved the problem of sustenance by eating meats placed between slices of bread, a form of food subsequently named for him....

This article will discuss the importance of exercise in diabetes management, how exercise affects blood sugar, and how to manage blood sugar based on the type of exercise you are doing....

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Liga champions in January as they look to bring in competition for Keylor Navas. Kepa’s contract expires at the end of the season and talks over a new deal appear to have broken down, despite months of negotiations. However, club president Josu Urrutia insists the player will not be sold next month unless his release clause, reportedly set at €20m, is paid in full....

Bottoms, a Democrat, said that the order is nothing but politics. “We’re entering political season, and we’ll see political theatrics,” she said. “But when it comes to this pandemic, that’s not sound decision-making. I can’t begin to make sense of it. I can’t make sense of it last year and I can’t make sense of it this year.” On Thursday, Kemp signed an executive order banning vaccine and mask mandates for businesses amid a highly transmissible Delta variant....

“It’s extremely frustrating as a mayor watching where we are as a country,” Bottoms told Chris Cuomo during an appearance on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time on Monday. “As I look at people standing in line for haircuts and to get their nails done, what we are essentially saying in Georgia is, ‘Go bowling and we’ll have a [hospital] bed waiting on you.’ That’s not what our approach should be to COVID-19....

Within 10 minutes into the encounter in north London, Sime Vrsaljko was sent off after picking two yellow cards. Also, manager Diego Simeone was sent to the stands moments later. Antonio Griemann’s 82nd-minute strike cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette’s opener to earn the visitors an away goal advantage. And the 24-year-old, on parade last Thursday, stated how Simeone’s instinct helped the team’s preparation. “Firstly, for me the sending off was a wrong call from the referee and sometimes its easy for us to just dwell on it and lose the game but we were so determined to get something from there," Partey told The Independent....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … thought Ronda Rousey went overboard by beating up Kurt Angle with the Money in the Bank briefcase? I loved the intensity that Rousey showed when she confronted Alexa Bliss and attacked her, but Rousey’s assault on Angle was a little much. I had no problem with Rousey hitting a judo move on her friend Angle as a hot-headed response to him trying to intervene, but repeatedly hitting him with the briefcase while he was defenseless was an odd choice creatively....

Stoudemire sees a similar scenario playing out with this new team, the Heat. “We can be a really good team,” Stoudemire told The Associated Press. “No one thought that the Golden State Warriors would be champions this time last year. We knew they’d be a really good team, but no one thought they’d be world champions. With us, we know we’re a really good team. No one thinks we can be world champions, but you never know....

What makes it even more remarkable is the material—a type of hydrogel—is made of 80 percent water. “At 80 percent water content, you’d think it would burst apart like a water balloon, but it doesn’t: it stays intact and withstands huge compressive forces,” University of Cambridge, Department of Chemistry researcher Professor Oren A. Scherman, who led the development of the material said in a press statement. “The properties of the hydrogel are seemingly at odds with each other....

Walmart earlier this week removed multiple third-party online listings bearing the phrase, which has recently become a popular way for some supporters of former President Donald Trump to bash Biden while avoiding the direct use of a swear word. Prior to being removed from the Walmart Marketplace, items being offered on the platform by U.S.-based apparel company Wild Bobby included shirts featuring the right-wing slogan alongside American flags and seasonal phrases like “Merry Christmas,” according to Insider....

Zelda Fleming was doing her final drop-offs for the day on Lourdes Drive South, when a woman opened the door at one property and two rottweilers ran out. “She opened the door and the two rottweilers just came out at me,” said Fleming to First Coast News. “Why would you open the door, you could have just waited until I lay the package down and gotten in my vehicle,” she continued....

Pictures posted on Facebook showed the truck impaled in the property in Roswell. “DELIVERY NOTIFICATION: Package has arrived,” the Roswell Police Department post read. “LOCATION: Inside your living room.” The crash happened in the 100 block of Thrush around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, police said.

The state’s labor laws have been amended over the last couple of years to provide workers with additional protections amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. One revision, known as the “right-to-know” law, was signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2020. It requires employers to report virus outbreaks to local health officials and to inform employees about reported infections within one business day. “We’re glad to have this resolved and to see that the AG found no substantive issues with the safety measures in our buildings,” Agrait said....

Activists also say that workers at the company, which is worth more than $1 trillion, face long hours with few bathroom breaks and do not get a living wage. More than 270,000 people have signed a petition to protest against workers’ rights and this will be delivered to the Manhattan home of CEO, Jeff Bezos, CBS reported. Kung Feng, executive director of Jobs with Justice San Francisco said: “We’re coming together to say it has to stop, its monopoly power and abuses, and that takes the form of abusing its warehouse workers, which many are immigrant, and sort of abusing the public in terms of using its technology to facilitate the targeting, the detention and the deportation and separation of families....

After the weeks-long, high-profile trial, in which Depp sued his ex-wife, Heard, for $50 million for defamation following an op-ed she wrote in 2018, the seven-person civil jury reached a verdict on June 1 largely in Depp’s favor, awarding him $15 million in damages—$10 million in compensatory damages with the other $5 million for punitive damages. Judge Penney Azcarate later lowered the punitive award to $350,000 per Virginia’s legal maximum....
