“Staggering” destruction in a Florida city

“Staggering” destruction in a Florida city

STEINHATCHEE, Fla. – For nearly two decades, Scott Peters has poured his heart and soul into the bar at his Crabbie Dad’s, just across the Steinhatchee River on Florida’s Big Bend Coast.

It has weathered storms and floods, the ups and downs of tourism, the economy as a whole, and just about everything else the world has had to offer. And hurricanes have long been commonplace – and usually mild enough to make landfall in the city.

Locals threw hurricane parties, cracked open beers and howled in defiance of the wind. But after 2016, when Hurricane Hermine devastated the small town he calls home, they started taking the storms more seriously.

“We’re basically at sea level,” Peters said Wednesday.

This image taken on Friday, September 27, 2024 shows the rubble of Crabbie Dads Bar in Steinhatchee, Florida, after Hurricane Helene.

That was before Hurricane Helene barreled ashore and pushed a wall of water forward. Helene’s eye hit the shore a few miles away, and Steinhatchee was hit perhaps harder than almost any other place.

And Peters’ Bar may have been hit the hardest.

He rode out the storm in Gainesville, about 70 miles away, and had not yet returned home to survey the damage.

How do businesses fail inspections?

Businesses fall out of compliance when they have too many violations, issues that can cause a foodborne illness, when a problem can’t be fixed right away, such as bug and rodent infestations, and more. But most violations are minor and are corrected while an inspection is taking place.

Typically, establishments are reinspected within 10 days to ensure they are following the rules.

It’s rare for a business to shut down over a failed inspection. But it can happen. Usually, closures are temporary, voluntary and due to major problems, such as sewage backups, pest infestations, and water or power outages.

Is Ranbir Kapoor joining the Dhoom 4 team? Let’s revisit the iconic villains of the franchise

Is Ranbir Kapoor joining the Dhoom 4 team? Let’s revisit the iconic villains of the franchise

The first Dhoom film was released in 2004. (Image credit: X)

John Abraham, Hritik Roshan and Aamir Khan played the roles of antagonists in the previous Dhoom films.

Ranbir Kapoor is said to be a part of the Dhoom franchise as the actor has reportedly been signed for the upcoming installment of the film. The news, which coincides with Ranbir’s 42nd birthday today, has caused excitement among Bollywood fans. According to a report by Pinkvilla, the actor has been roped in for the much-awaited fourth installment of the Dhoom film series. The upcoming film under YRF banner is reportedly in the pre-production stage and will be helmed by Aditya Chopra.

As Ranbir gears up to play the villain in Dhoom 4, here is a look at the other iconic antagonists of the popular Yash Raj Films franchise.

John Abraham, Dhoom (2004)

The first film in the Dhoom series was released 20 years ago. While Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra played good cops ACP Jay Dixit and Ali, John Abraham set the archetype for the franchise’s unique villains.

He led a motorcycle robber gang that committed a series of thefts across Mumbai.

The actor even received a nomination at the 50th Filmfare Awards for the Best Villain award. John won the Best Villain awards at the 6th IIFA Awards and Zee Cine Awards

Hrithik Roshan, Dhoom 2 (2006)

Hrithik Roshan continued where John left. Hrithik’s impeccable acting and stunts in Dhoom 2 are still fresh in the minds of fans. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprized their roles in the 2006 film. Hrithik portrayed Aryan Singhania, also known as Mr. A, who stole valuable artifacts from various locations. Hrithik teamed up with Aishwarya Rai’s character Sunheri in all the robberies.

Aamir Khan, Dhoom 3 (2013)

In this 2013 film, Aamir played the dual roles of Sahir Khan and Samar Khan, who continued the chase game with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra’s characters. Dhoom 3 has a different plot than the other two films as Aamir’s character robs branches of the Western Bank of Chicago for revenge.

Ranbir Kapoor, Dhoom 4

According to a Pinkvilla report, Aditya Chopra is considering rebooting the story for a modern audience. According to the report, none of the old actors will reprise their roles in the upcoming Dhoom film.

“The talks with Ranbir have been going on for a long time. Hearing the basic idea, he had always shown interest in being a part of Dhoom 4 and has finally been confirmed to lead the series. Adi Chopra feels that RK is the ideal choice to carry forward the Dhoom legacy,” a source close to the development told the portal.

Video shows a burning Russian convoy as Kiev thwarts a “battalion-sized” attack

Video shows a burning Russian convoy as Kiev thwarts a “battalion-sized” attack

Russian military vehicles burst into flames after an attack by Kiev soldiers, according to the Ukrainian military, which released video footage of the alleged battle.

The Ukrainian Air Force posted on Facebook that its soldiers managed to repel a 50-man column of Russian equipment. Newsweek has not yet verified the details of the footage and has emailed the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.

The independent U.S.-based think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Friday that Ukrainian forces repelled “an intensified battalion-sized Russian mechanized attack toward Kupiansk,” the first mechanized attack along the line since last winter .

A two-minute video showed aerial footage of military vehicles burning in an open field and smoke billowing into the sky.

In the post accompanying the clip, the Ukrainian military said that Russian forces attempted to storm the positions of Ukraine’s 77th Air Mobile Brigade and the National Guard in two separate operations.

“However, even with such strong forces, the enemy units were unsuccessful,” the post said, adding that Ukraine’s paratroopers and National Guardsmen managed to “defeat the enemy and push them back to their starting positions.”

This screenshot from a video released by the Ukrainian military purports to show Ukraine’s defense of a Russian attack in the direction of Kupiansk. Kiev said its forces repelled a 50-man column of…

The post added that two tanks, two armored personnel carriers and an infantry fighting vehicle were destroyed in the Russian attack, “and those that remained managed to escape in panic.”

“The enemy column that attacked the positions of the soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine also suffered a setback,” the post said, according to a translation.

The ISW said footage of damaged Russian armored vehicles crowded together suggested Moscow forces attacked in dense columns. They blocked when the Ukrainian fire units began to strike, which “commonly occurs in failed Russian mechanized attacks.”

The Washington, DC-based think tank also provided additional details about the site. It said Ukrainian forces were operating near the village of Pishchane, southeast of Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast, after Russian forces attacked directly on the Oskil River, where Moscow is trying to make gains.

Ukrainian military sources said Russian forces had been pushed back to their starting positions near Pishchane, while the ISW said geolocated footage suggested Moscow forces had made no progress during the attack.

Ukrainian officials said on Saturday that Russian forces launched an attack on a hospital in the northeastern city of Sumy, killing nine people and wounding 12.

A first attack hit the hospital, while a second attack occurred as rescuers and police arrived to carry patients to safety in what Russia called a “double-tap” attack, said Ihor Klymenko, Ukraine’s interior minister.

My Costco trips take 10 minutes; What I buy and how I shop quickly

My Costco trips take 10 minutes; What I buy and how I shop quickly

  • I do weekly 10-minute Costco runs for high-protein, nutritious items for my family of four.
  • Just Bare’s breaded chicken breasts are a great Chick-Fil-A dupe.
  • My kids’ favorite is Polly-O strip cheese, which is also a refined source of protein.

My husband and I have always been Costco shoppers, but after we had our two daughters, our once-a-month Costco runs turned into once-weekly trips.

With a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old who can empty a strawberry container in no time, we learned that Costco was our best option for getting our groceries within a reasonable budget.

Costco also met two of our most important nutritional needs: protein-rich products for my husband and I and dye-free, nutritious products for the kids.

After years of shopping at retailers every week, I have learned which products are ideal for our lifestyle. If I know exactly what I need, I can get in and out of Costco in just 10 minutes.

Here are the 11 staples I always bring with me.

Jannik Sinner reacts as WADA confirms appeal in the middle of his China Open match | Tennis | sport

Jannik Sinner reacts as WADA confirms appeal in the middle of his China Open match | Tennis | sport

Jannik Sinner said he was “very disappointed” that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had appealed against him to avoid a ban for his failed doping test. The news broke during the Italian’s round of 16 win against Roman Safiullin, where he won for the second time in a row after coming from a set down.

But shortly after his 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win, the top seed came under pressure over the developments and WADA said it wanted a ban of between one and two years for the 23-year-old.

And Sinner did not hide his displeasure, pointing out that the International Tennis Integrity Unit had already released him from any responsibility for his test result

“Well, we can’t control everything,” he said when asked about the timing of the announcement. “Of course I am very disappointed and, to be honest, surprised by this appeal because we had three hearings. All three hearings were very positive for me.”

“You know, I wasn’t expecting that. I knew a few days ago that they were going to appeal, that today it becomes official. But yes, it’s a surprise. We always talk about the same thing.”

The reigning Australian Open and US Open champion also suggested that WADA was simply trying to act out of a sense of duty, adding: “Maybe they just want to make sure everything is in the right position.”
