Manager and TikTok user @thejunglecatlady took to the app to share the moment, explaining that she at least found humor in the situation. According to the manager, the friends had plans to go out after her shift, but they were seemingly put aside when she was left to close the restaurant alone. “Having to close as a manager, and had people call out so that you have to do all the work, so you call your friend and beg them to help even though they don’t work there so you can go out for drinks,” she wrote on-screen....

The host took to the popular forum Mumsnet to gain opinions on her situation. In the post, she explained that she offered her spare room to a couple who are friends, but not close friends, while they visited the Edinburgh Fringe, a comedy festival. “They are out drinking and seeing shows all day and most of the night and didn’t pay for me to attend any shows with them or take me out for dinner or even bring me a bottle of wine,” she wrote....

In Madrid, the terrorists showed they’d learned those lessons well. They used a very simple delivery system: 13 backpacks and gym bags left lying around in commuter trains as they pulled into three crowded stations. Each held about 25 pounds of a high explosive. The detonators were wired to the phones. When they rang, 10 of the bombs went off. In the carnage afterward, as 200 people lay dead or dying, and an additional 1,500 of the injured screamed and staggered beside the tracks, witnesses remember that other phones, the personal ones on the mangled corpses, started to ring, too, in a horrible cacophony....

The images, shared to Instagram under his professional moniker, gently poke fun at the likes of McDonald’s with the company’s famous Golden Arches logo reworked as a clown vomiting out two streams of yellow-colored bile. Kappa’s classic logo of two women sat back-to-back is represented as two men with their pants down squatting over a well, while Twitter’s branding is reimagined as one very scared-looking bird with a rocket strapped to their back....

A synchronized sink like this hasn’t occurred since the oil shocks of the 1970s. This time the chief causes are the bursting bubbles of high tech and the global stock-market bust. Officials everywhere have been banking on America to resume its accustomed role as global locomotive. U.S. production had slid from a dazzling 5 percent growth rate a year ago to a dismal 0.2 percent this spring. But employment and consumer spending remained solid, sustaining hopes for a recovery by autumn....

Jacoby is one of 15 finalists this year, his third go-round as a finalist for induction. And he’s had a pretty impressive rooting section — his former defensive foes Lawrence Taylor, Chris Doleman and Charles Haley all have said Jacoby deserves the honor. MORE: 2018 Hall of Fame finalists Sporting News caught up with Jacoby to discuss his feelings about the possible induction, his long NFL journey as an undrafted lineman and, of course, his memorable battles against Taylor....

Ever Banega and Adil Rami are just two examples of players Sevilla has taken under its wing and given the tools to get back to the top following a few years of stagnation. The latest name who can be added to the list is Samir Nasri, a man who arrived at Sevilla with plenty of doubters following a few underwhelming seasons at Manchester City. Once the subject of a big-money move from Arsenal, Nasri faded into the background at City but Sevilla has rescued him and morphed him back into the genius he once was....

However, the hip hop world has been thrown into a state of political disarray as a number of prominent artists have controversially voiced their support for Donald Trump. The latest rapper to cause a stir was Lil Wayne who posted a photo with the president Thursday in a move that was met with intense backlash and an endless wave of memes. 50 Cent, Ice Cube and Lil Pump have also backed the Republican candidate in what has been a tumultuous week of campaigning on both slides....

Here are the celebrities who have endorsed Biden for president. Jay Leno said that “People like Joe because he’s got a good character,” in March, via The Hill. Mark Hamill endorsed Biden this past April, after Trump called the Wall Street Journal fake news. “Perpetually obsessed with ratings & praise for himself, but still not a word of sympathy for the suffering or those who died,” the Star Wars icon wrote....

There are 11 orphanages here in Yaroslavl, an industrial city of 600,000 situated four hours northeast of Moscow. And far from being Dickensian nightmares, these institutions are places where children exude love, where their laughter echoes throughout the hallways. Whatever love and happiness I try to give them, I receive back tenfold. “I am not sure who gets more out of this, the kids or me,” says Nate Castro, a 25-year-old business developer who also volunteered-with his grandfather-to do a stint in this riverside city....

So it was interesting to hear Lebedev respond to an interviewer’s question about the romantic lure of life in the world of espionage. “Romanticism is present,” answered Lebedev. “Let me tell you that the romantic perception of intelligence work and romanticism is, incidentally, what prompts many young intelligence operatives to come and work for us. This element ought to be present in our work. However, if you compare it to James Bond films, there is a lot of fantasy there, of course....

Ozil answers critics in West Ham win There have been times this season when the German international hasn’t produced enough on the pitch but there have been more occasions on which Arsenal have played to his strengths. His critics in the media over the past few weeks include Gunners legend Thierry Henry, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville and fellow Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness, all of whom have lambasted Ozil’s lack of productivity in key games....

“I love my job,” she captioned the image. Gee, 23, and 25-year-old Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo were the only women among the 13 U.S. troops killed in a suicide bombing at Kabul airport on Thursday, which also claimed the lives of more than 160 Afghans. Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for the attack, which came amid a massive evacuation following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan. On Sunday the Defense Department officially identified the slain U....

So a $2 million wedding? Earnhardt just shook his head. “I definitely would have a hard time writing that check,” Earnhardt said.

According to Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill, deputies with the department’s COBRA Unit surrounded the home in Jonesboro on Tuesday and called out for suspect Eric Spencer, who soon surrendered after realizing there was “nowhere for him to escape.” Officers then recovered around six to seven ounces of methamphetamine inside the home, as well as drug paraphernalia such as scales and baggies for sale purposes. A small amount of marijuana and a handgun were also located....

Police killed a total of 1051 people this year according to Mapping Police Violence (MPV), a nonprofit organization that tracks fatal encounters with police. Black people continue to be disproportionately impacted by police violence, the data shows. Black people account for 27 percent of those killed by police in 2021 (of those whose race is known), despite making up 13 percent of the U.S. population. They are being killed at similar rates to previous years, the data shows, despite a national reckoning sparked by the police killings of George Floyd and other Black people....

The prize for companies whose biotechnologies meet the need? Joseph Vacanti and Robert Langer, tissue-engineering pioneers at Harvard and MIT, respectively, put the potential market as high as $80 billion a year. But they say it may take as long as three decades to move from today, when the ability to perform transplants is limited by organ availability and tissue rejection, to a time when engineered tissue and organs are widely available and perhaps even grown from a person’s own cells....
