A two-year-old foreign toddler was severely injured after an untethered pit bull savagely attacked him in Pattaya. The boy needed 200 stitches and is now in intensive care. A 5-minute video clip that went viral on social media shows the dog mauling the young child in a village while out walking with his babysitter. Two witnesses, Mr Somkiat, 67, and Mr Jet, 39, told reporters the incident took place on Monday at 4pm when the babysitter took two boys aged 4 and 2 out for a walk. The dog's owner left her gate open when taking out the garbage as they were passing by her home. Her 70-kilogramme pit bull suddenly attacked the group.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 The Astros got a big win over the Mets on Tuesday night , but the highlight of the game came from 6-year-old Oliver from Mont Belvieu. Houston Astros Tickets Vivid Seats Shop Now Before the seventh inning of the Astros’ 8-2 victory, Oliver was picked to go on the field and “steal a base.” The promotion involves a child racing against the clock to run to a base temporarily set up on the warning track in the outfield. Oliver wasn’t having anything to do with that temporary base. Instead, he went for a real one. The boy, who lives about 30 miles east of Minute Maid Park, raced to second base and tried to pull it up from the ground. Astros second baseman Jose Altuve and shortstop Mauricio Dubon even came over to help him, but those bags are secured pretty solidly in the ground. “We thought it would be funny to give him the bag, … [Read more...] about Watch 6-year-old Oliver try to ‘steal’ second base at Astros game
Old Is Gold: Sky-High Cost Of Ageing Ships Sounds Inflation SOS
Shipping companies are transforming rust buckets into gold mines in a modern-day alchemy that could fuel already rampant inflation for years to come. The disruption to world trade caused by pandemic lockdowns and a shortage of new cargo vessels has pushed freight rates for ageing container ships to record highs. Cashing in on the boom, shipping firms are locking in long-term leases lasting three to four years, which means consumers could carry on paying the price for the surge in costs until hundreds of new ships on order come into service. Take the Synergy Oakland, a mid-sized vessel flagged in Cyprus that can carry more than 4,200 20-foot steel containers. Greek firm Euroseas bought it in 2019 for $10 million when it was already a decade old. As world trade spiralled into chaos last year, it raked in $21 million in just over 100 days at the highest daily freight rate in history for a ship of its size. It squeezed in one more short-term charter earning around $10 million in … [Read more...] about Old Is Gold: Sky-High Cost Of Ageing Ships Sounds Inflation SOS
Rast “proven wrong” by “unexpected” win in DTM comeback year
Listen to this article The three-time series champion stepped away from the DTM after securing the 2020 title in the final Class One season before the championship's switch to GT3 rules for 2021, but returned this year following Audi's withdrawal from Formula E. After a difficult opening round in Portimao where he scored no points, Rast got back onto the podium last time out at the Lausitzring and then converted his first pole of the season in the opening race at Imola on Saturday to a comfortable victory over old rival Nico Muller . When reflecting on what he called "a perfect race", Rast revealed that his success had been "a bit unexpected" as "before the season I didn’t really expect to fight for wins or for podiums". Asked by Motorsport.com to clarify his comments, Rast explained: "I had to adapt to the car again, it took me a bit longer than I was hoping obviously. "I didn’t really expect to fight for wins because a GT3 car is so special, it’s made for … [Read more...] about Rast “proven wrong” by “unexpected” win in DTM comeback year
Feds: Ghislaine Maxwell deserves at least 30 years in prison
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell should spend at least 30 years in prison for her role in the sexual abuse of teenage girls over a 10-year period by her onetime boyfriend, financier Jeffrey Epstein, prosecutors said Wednesday in written arguments. Prosecutors said she should serve between 30 years and 55 years in prison, reflecting the federal sentencing guidelines.

The 60-year-old Maxwell was convicted in December of sex trafficking and other crimes after a month-long trial that featured testimony from four women who said they were abused in their teens. Defense lawyers said in a sentencing submission last week that she should spend no more than five years in prison and shouldn't pay for Epstein's crimes, since he was the mastermind … [Read more...] about Feds: Ghislaine Maxwell deserves at least 30 years in prison

Storm’s damages put focus on Cuba’s dire housing crisis
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 15 HAVANA (AP) — Olga Lidia Lahera lives with her daughter and two granddaughters in a tiny 15-square-meter (160-square-foot) apartment with peeling plaster walls that has barely enough room for a shelf with pots and a rickety sofa bed. A cloth curtain separates the space they use to wash up. There is no bathroom. A bit farther down Gloria Street in the Talla Piedra neighborhood of Old Havana, Anet Ayala and her brother Wilmedis live on the second floor of an old building with cracks in the walls and ceilings so big that air, light and even water can pass through. The first storm of the 2022 hurricane season, which hit Cuba in mid-June, collapsed or damaged dozens of homes in the capital that were already in poor condition, tearing off pieces of roof, balconies and facades.

Demonstrations erupt at Supreme Court, spread nationally as Roe falls

Wade met with an outpouring of joy and rage on Friday, as street demonstrations that began outside the Supreme Court after the decades-old guarantee of abortion access was struck down spread through the nation's capital and to cities across the United States.
