“Effective immediately I have rescinded the social distancing order that took effect on the morning of April 1, 2020,” Mayor Troy Brumbalow wrote in a statement posted to Facebook. “While the intent of the order was to protect the public from the spread of COVID-19, it is obvious that a large portion of our public doesn’t want government mandating the recommendations of public health officials,” the statement adds. His previous social distancing order prohibited any business, establishment, corporation, nonprofit or organization from having more than 10 people in a single location....

“It’s now time to SHOOT to KILL them if they continue to destroy,” Joe Allen, the Macon-Bibb County commissioner, wrote in a comment on a Facebook live video posted by Fox 6 Milwaukee this week. Allen initially defended the remark before later issuing an apology. “Don’t be a coward now!! Own what you said!” a Twitter user identifying herself as Angie Wilson posted on Wednesday. Allen replied: “I’m not that....

The port, which is the country’s fourth-busiest port for container cargo, has seen an increase in cargo volumes that has caused a space shortage in its container yard and has left ships waiting at sea, The Associated Press reported. This caused Savannah to experience the busiest month ever in October. During this month, there were over 500,000 container units imported and exported—a first. In the 2021 fiscal year that ended June 30, there was a record 5....

The pair are facing off in one of Georgia’s Senate runoffs, the outcomes of which are set to determine control of the Senate.

It should be a bigger deal than it is. That’s part of the problem of the College Football Playoff era.

Tuesday’s runoff elections were two hard-fought battles and the race between Perdue and Ossoff is the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history, according to OpenSecrets. With the fate of the Senate on the line, the candidates and outside groups spent more than $470 million and it paid off for Democrats because Ossoff ousting Perdue from office helped take control away from Republicans. With 98 percent of the votes counted, Ossoff had 50....

In Georgia, along with nine other states, a candidate must secure a minimum of 50 percent of the votes to win a race. If no candidate reaches that requirement, the top two candidates face off in a separate runoff election. Republican incumbent Senator David Perdue currently holds 49.8 percent of the vote against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff following a large number of ballots counted in Metro Atlanta and Chatham County—with a difference of just over 95,500 votes....

And Georgia Southern is running all the way to the bank with Saban’s latest rant. HAYES: Saban fails to deflect criticism | MORE: You want playoff chaos? | Dabo on Bama job Earlier this week, when asked a question about Charleston Southern’s quarterback — the Crimson Tide play the FCS team Saturday — Saban got sidetracked and spouted off a two-minute speech about how his staff and team weren’t taking the week off because you never know what can happen....

The bill is championed by Republicans as a way to ensure fair and secure elections, and Democrats are calling it voter suppression. The state became a national battleground last year for both the presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs. Donald Trump lost the state, and eventually the White House. Two Democrats won their senate runoffs, thus flipping the majority in the U.S. Senate. The new voting law includes voter ID for absentee ballots, fewer drop boxes and it makes it a crime to bring food and water to voters who wait in lines to cast their ballots....

Common Causes There are a number of factors that can cause GERD. Sometimes the cause of your GERD can be complex and involve multiple factors. Malfunctioning Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES): In most sufferers, acid reflux is due to a relaxation of the LES, which is responsible for closing and opening the lower end of the esophagus and acts as a pressure barrier against the contents of the stomach. If it’s weak or loses tone, the LES will not close completely after food passes into your stomach....

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Monday that Russia would be explicitly excluded from participating in a separate and ongoing probe of the leaks detected last month in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. The lines were designed to deliver natural gas from Russia to Germany. Andersson said that any preliminary results of Sweden’s “confidential” investigation would not be shared with Russia, with the caveat that Sweden was powerless to stand in the way of Russian ships visiting the area of the explosions and potentially conducting their own investigations, according to Reuters....

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune‑Review, the team’s initial offer to Cole last week was for $538,000, just above the league-minimum $507,500. He was able to negotiate to a salary of $541,000 for the 2016 season, but the contract is a massive underpay for a pitcher who won 19 games in 2015 and owns a career 3.07 ERA. “When you perform at a level that draws the praise of management, teammates, coaches and fans, you expect appropriate compensation,” Cole said....

Jackson is doing better this time around. Six weeks ago, she and a handful of fellow Zimbabwean journalists began broadcasting from a cramped studio in London to an eager audience in the troubled southern African nation. Their station, SW Radio Africa, is their country’s only live independent radio voice at a time when Zimbabwe’s president, Robert Mugabe, is trying tighten the country’s already-harsh media restrictions ahead of next month’s presidential elections....

You’ll may also find nests in Plains, Sunflower Plains, and Flower Forest biomes, but not as often. Each time a bee leaves the nest or hive after spending the night, the honey level increases by 1. You won’t be able to harvest honeycomb until the nest or hive reaches honey level 5....

Spagnoli is not alone. At a time when the rest of the nation is finally feeling an economic resurgence, the once Golden State is still wallowing in uncertainty. The unemployment rate, 8.7 percent, is 2.3 points above the national average. Employment, which peaked at 13 million at the end of 1990, is a million jobs short of that total today. Gov. Pete Wilson, facing a tough reelection campaign this fall, is trying to convince voters that a “California comeback” is underway, but so far he has won few converts....

The Norwegian-born shot-stopper has been out of the selection since pulling out of the Black Stars squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations on health grounds - the team then under the guidance of Avram Grant. And Appiah, who replaced the Israeli coach in May, says reports that he has blacklisted the goalkeeper in the national team, due to their not-so-good past, are untrue. “There is no single call-up where I don’t consider Adam Kwarasey," Appiah told Nhyra FM....
