But based on the information collected, it’s safe to say that NFL teams go through anywhere from 3,600 to 4,300 Uncrustables a week. When you factor in training camps and the teams that did not share their data, NFL teams easily go through at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year.

In addition to North Carolina, New Hampshire is the only other swing state to hold a race for governor this election cycle. “I think that helps people in New Hampshire realize that Kelly Ayotte is a New Hampshire Republican, not a straight party loyalist,” Williams said.

How Not to Be a Selfish Gardener - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-05-02 | by ( Olivia Laing | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
The idea of the garden as a place of sinister seclusion has found its way to the world of high fashion. In Ballard’s characteristically bleak tale, a desperate mob advances on an elegant garden, where Count Axel and his wife live out a civilized, secluded existence. The selfish gardener of the 21st century creates idyllic vistas that rely on fertilizers and pesticides that poison the wider ecosystem or demand water in a time of drought. In her gripping memoir of the Second World War, “War in Val d’Orcia,” she describes a similar tide of desperate humanity approaching her garden gate. Unlike Ballard’s Count Axel, she didn’t seek to repel them, retiring to the library to dust her statues.

HONG KONG (AP) — A Hong Kong court on Monday ordered property developer China Evergrande Group to liquidate after it was unable to reach a restructuring deal with creditors. The liquidation order is likely to impact China’s financial system, even as authorities try to prevent a selloff in the Chinese stock market. The company first defaulted on its financial obligations in 2021, just over a year after Beijing clamped down on lending to property developers in an effort to cool a property bubble. Real estate drove China’s economic boom, but developers borrowed heavily as they turned cities into forests of apartment and office towers. Others developers including Country Garden, China’s largest real estate developer, have also run into trouble, their predicaments rippling through financial systems in and outside China.

Moscow must he held to account for Russian cybercriminals accused of hacking Australia’s largest health insurer and dumping customers’ personal medical records on the dark web, Australian officials said Friday. Australian Federal Police took the unusual step of attributing blame for the unsolved cybercrime that resulted in the personal data of 9.7 million current and former Medibank customers being stolen.

Vaccinurile împotriva COVID-19 care folosesc tehnologia ARN mesager (ARNm), precum Pfizer/BioNtech şi Moderna, par a fi eficace împotriva variantei indiene a coronavirusului, a transmis miercuri Agenţia Europeană a Medicamentului, relatează AFP, Reuters şi EFE, citează Agerpres. "Datele evaluate de agenţia europeană privind eficacitatea vaccinurilor ARNm împotriva variantei B.1.617 (varianta indiană) sunt încurajatoare", a declarat la o conferinţă de presă directorul EMA pentru riscuri vaccinale şi ameninţări biologice, Marco Cavaleri.
