Mask dispute leaves Staples customer with broken leg after woman throws her to ground – NBC News

A 54-year-old New Jersey woman suffered a broken leg after she was thrown to the ground in a Staples by another customer whom she had told to wear a mask, authorities said.

Police have released surveillance video from the incident that occurred at about 3:19 p.m. Wednesday at a Staples in Hackensack.

Margot Kagan, of Teaneck, told police she was using a fax machine at the store when a woman with a mask pulled down below her mouth approached a machine next to her. Kagan, who, according to police, had a liver transplant four months ago and was walking with a cane, told the woman to put her mask on.

“The suspect became angry and yelled at the victim, who picked up her walking cane and pointed it directly at the suspect, coming within inches of the suspect’s chest,” said Capt. Darrin DeWitt, a detective with the Hackensack Police Department.

The woman then yelled at Kagan, violently threw her to the ground and left the store, DeWitt said.

Kagan was taken to a hospital where she was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia, according to DeWitt.

Gov. Phil Murphy has said all residents must wear face coverings in stores.

Police are seeking to identify the suspect.

Kagan did not immediately respond to a voicemail message and multiple calls seeking comment Friday.

‘When We Trust God, We Shouldn’t Fear Anything’: Ed Young Asserts America Is Facing the Virus of Fear

‘When We Trust God, We Shouldn’t Fear Anything’: Ed Young Asserts America Is Facing the Virus of Fear


As soon as Ed Young answers the call, you can tell that he is a man with a lot of energy and more importantly a lot of words of hope for the weary.

Whatever stereotype that you have in your mind when it comes to a mega church pastor, you may want to erase that when it comes to Ed Young, the pastor of Fellowship Church located in the Dallas area. Ed, as he likes to be called, wants it to be known that a great virus of our time is fear. “It is the signs of the time that we live in,” he told Christian Headlines in an interview.

For anyone who has followed Ed for some time his creative way of speaking truth is natural and straight to the point.

Ed wants it to be known that the real virus facing America, isn’t the pandemic, although Ed does take the coronavirus seriously, it’s the fear coursing through America.

In his recent book, The Fear Virus, which took Ed only six weeks to write, the megachurch pastor asserts that, amid the literal pandemic virus, we as a country and people of God need to must remember that our fear of the unknown is dangerous and can only be addressed by the power of God.

“‘Fear not’ is the number one command in scripture,” Ed asserted, noting that as Christ-followers we should have a healthy and holy fear of God but not fear of our circumstances. “When we trust God, we shouldn’t fear anything,” he said.

When pushed on this…

Alabama Baptists ‘grieved’ after pastor posts photo celebrating birthday of KKK leader

Will Dismukes, 30, a pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention and a Republican state representative in Alabama, gives the invocation at an event celebrating the 199th birthday of former KKK Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest. | Twitter/Winchester7752

Alabama Baptist leaders said they were “grieved” after learning that Pastor Will Dismukes of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Prattville had offered prayers at an event celebrating the 199th birthday of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a leader in the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Dismukes, who’s also a Republican state representative, was subsequently forced to resign from his role as pastor.

The statement comes as Dismukes, 30, is also being urged to resign from political office.

Dismukes sparked the national controversy when he shared a post on Facebook from the July 25 event along with a photo of him surrounded by confederate flags.

The event was held at Fort Dixie in Selma and coincided with ceremonies honoring the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis, an Alabama native who is an icon in the civil…

US STOCKS-S&P 500, Dow slide as pandemic nerves offset tech euphoria – Reuters

(For a live blog on the U.S. stock market, click or type LIVE/ in a news window)

* Apple, Facebook at record highs after strong results

* Dow weighed down by Chevron, Exxon losses

* Indexes: S&P up 0.15%, Nasdaq adds 0.86%, Dow off 0.13% (Updates to open)

By Medha Singh and Devik Jain

July 31 (Reuters) – The S&P 500 and Dow gave up early gains on Friday as concerns about the economic damage from the COVID-19 pandemic replaced early euphoria from stunning quarterly earnings reports by Apple, Amazon.com and Facebook.

Apple Inc surged 6.4% as it delivered year-on-year revenue gains across every category and in every geography.

Amazon.com Inc jumped 4.4% after posting the biggest profit in its 26-year history, while Facebook Inc gained 7.7% it reported better-than-expected revenue.

Google-parent Alphabet Inc, on the other hand, fell 4.2% as quarterly sales dipped for the first time in its 16 years as a public company.

Investors betting on more U.S. government stimulus, before an extra $600-per-week federal jobless benefit expires on Friday, have also been disappointed as the Senate adjourned for the weekend and will return on Monday.

“There is a bit of a balancing act between the positives and negatives, a deluge of pretty strong tech earnings and then the struggle in Congress to try to get the COVID-19 stimulus package passed,” said Dan Eye, head of asset allocation and equity research at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

A surge in the stock price of the tech titans, which make up nearly a fifth of the S&P 500’s value, as well as aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus have sent the tech-heavy Nasdaq to record highs and set the S&P 500 on course for its fourth straight monthly gain.

The benchmark index is now about 4% shy of its February all-time high, but faltering macroeconomic data and rising COVID-19 cases are making investors cautious again.

Figures on Thursday confirmed the sharpest contraction in U.S. GDP since the Great Depression, while rising jobless weekly claims suggested a nascent recovery in the labor market was stalling.

“We’ve already seen a lot of positives play out and that’s reflected in the pricing (but) we don’t think the market has priced in a cushion for unexpected events on the downside,” Eye said.

At 10:01 a.m. ET, the S&P 500 was up 4.72 points, or 0.15%, at 3,250.94, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 91.00 points, or 0.86%, at 10,678.81. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 32.94 points, or 0.13%, at 26,280.71.

The second-quarter earning season is past the halfway mark with about 82.4% of companies that have reported beating significantly lowered estimates, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

Energy stocks fell the most among the 11 major S&P sectors after Chevron Corp reported an $8.3 billion loss on asset writedowns and ExxonMobil Corp recorded a second consecutive quarterly loss.

Caterpillar Inc reversed premarket gains and fell 3.2% after the heavy equipment maker signaled more pain from an uncertain economic outlook.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers 1.52-to-1 on the NYSE and 1.56-to-1 on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 25 new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 79 new highs and six new lows. (Reporting by Medha Singh and Devik Jain in Bengaluru; Editing by Saumyadeb Chakrabarty and Shounak Dasgupta)

Heartbreaking discoveries in shoes at Auschwitz: God knows your name

Shoes in display case in Block 5 at Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Auschwitz, Poland on September 3, 2017.

The Memorial and Museum at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland contains artifacts from one of the Nazi concentration camps used during World War II, where millions of Jews were exterminated. While preserving shoes that belonged to Jews who died at the camp, experts at the museum discovered a handwritten inscription in a child’s shoe with the child’s first and last name, the means of the transport, and the child’s registration number.

The child was a six-year-old Czech boy, who arrived at Auschwitz in 1944. It is believed the boy and his mother were deported to Auschwitz together and that the mother ensured the boy’s shoe was inscribed. They are presumed to both have died in the gas chamber.

God knows your name

Heartbreaking finds of identification in shoes, including newspapers with dates and names, show the prisoners’ desire to not be forgotten.

All of us have an innate desire to be known, to be loved, to be remembered. Our names, mostly given at birth, identify us. The One who knows every star by name (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 147:4) knows each of us and desires us to know him.

God said to Moses: “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name” (Exodus 33:17). And to Jacob: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you” (Isaiah 43).

To Jeremiah, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I concentrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 2:5).

He has engraved each of us on the palms of his hands (Isaiah 49:16), knows the number of hairs on our head (Matthew…

NARAL Endorses Biden, Says He’ll ‘Expand Access to Abortion,’ Allow Taxpayer Funding of it

NARAL Endorses Biden, Says He’ll ‘Expand Access to Abortion,’ Allow Taxpayer Funding of it


NARAL Pro-Choice America this week endorsed Joe Biden for president, saying he will “expand access to abortion” and stop the “anti-choice” agenda of the Trump administration.

NARAL, a lobbying and advocacy organization for abortion rights, made the announcement on Monday, roughly two weeks after the Planned Parenthood Action Fund also endorsed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. NARAL formerly was known as the National Abortion Rights Action League.

“The choice is clear: In his four years in the White House, Donald Trump has exhibited unprecedented cruelty and put lives and freedom on the line time and time again – and this November, we have the opportunity to elect Vice President Joe Biden, a deeply compassionate and thoughtful leader who knows that fighting for reproductive freedom for every body is part and parcel of a just society,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

NARAL would work with a Biden administration to expand abortion rights, Hogue added.

“Joe Biden will stand for freedom over Donald Trump’s desire to control women. He will put a stop to Trump’s dangerous anti-choice political agenda when so much hangs in the balance,” Hogue said.

NARAL plans to spend $34.7 million to elect Biden and other like-minded politicians, “from statehouses to the White House,” the press release said.

Nvidia is reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ to buy ARM for more than $32 billion – Circuit Breaker

SoftBank has been rumored to be exploring a sale of ARM — the British chip designer that powers nearly every major mobile processor from companies like Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, and Huawei — and now, it might have found a buyer. Nvidia is reportedly in “advanced talks” to buy ARM in a deal worth over $32 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Nvidia is said to be the only company that’s involved in concrete discussions with SoftBank for the purchase at this time, and a deal could arrive “in the next few weeks,” although nothing is finalized yet. If the deal does go through, it would be one of the largest deals ever in the computer chip business and would likely draw intense regulatory scrutiny.

SoftBank bought ARM in 2016 for $31 billion, and ARM has only grown in value since then as its designs have become more and more integral to Android and iOS devices alike. Microsoft already makes an ARM-based Surface and a version of Windows designed for ARM; Apple also recently announced that it would be switching its Mac computers over to ARM-based chipsets in the latest boon for the company. As SoftBank looks to pay off its growing pile of debt in order to appease uneasy investors, a sale of ARM at its peak could help bolster the Japanese technology conglomerate’s finances.

Nvidia would make an interesting owner for ARM — while the company is the leader for GPUs (which ARM also designs), it has little to do with CPU design or mobile hardware outside of its Tegra line of mobile chipsets (most famously used by the Nintendo Switch and the Nvidia Shield line of set-top boxes), which actually are based on ARM designs.

Owning ARM would give Nvidia far more power over the broader computing world and likely trigger some heavy scrutiny from regulators, given that Nvidia is a customer of ARM, which competes with other companies that also rely on ARM’s designs.

United adds some international flights for September, but remains cautious – CNBC

United Airlines on Friday said it plans to add certain flights back in September, staying cautious as the coronavirus pandemic continues to depress travel demand.

The Chicago-based airline’s September capacity will be 37% of year-ago levels and up 4 percentage points from its August 2020 schedule.

United has been among the most conservative airlines when it comes to restoring flights. While demand began to recover in the late spring, it stalled after a spike in coronavirus cases in the U.S. and states like New York and New Jersey issued quarantine orders for arriving travelers.

“We continue to be realistic in our approach to building back our international and domestic schedules by closely monitoring customer demand and flying where people want to go,” Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president for international network and alliances, said in a release.

United in September plans to fly 30% of its year-ago international schedule. Flights abroad have been particularly hard-hit by the pandemic as airlines grapple with dozens of travel restrictions around the world aimed at stopping the disease from spreading.

Routes include Chicago to Tel Aviv, Chicago to Hong Kong and Houston to Amsterdam. It is also going after vacationers with service to Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and to San Jose and Liberia, Costa Rica.

Domestic flying will be 40% of its September 2019 schedule. 

United said Thursday that it will consolidate its Embraer E145 flights used for short routes with just one regional partner, CommutAir, dropping airline ExpressJet.

“We have been communicating for several months that we expect to be a smaller airline in response to the unprecedented impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business,” United said in a statement. “In February, we took our first step to simplify our partner landscape and consolidate our E145 flying. We continue to evaluate further opportunities to improve the United Express product.”

United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, earlier this month told CNBC that he expects revenue to reach no more than half of 2019 levels without a coronavirus vaccine.
