Not certain if this was an "upset". Charlton typically comes in around 12:50 at peak in the 100m hurdles I believe. The 3 top finishers ran faster than that time. If she'd had a good start and matched those 12.3 times it would have been a record setting run for her, but she's never gone below 12.4. Still a good job competing among the top 8 women in the world

Exactly. And the worst part of it is, they still believe numbers are growing because of something they did. Which amounts to, create a new bed and not much else. Oh, pen one more pig to swim around.

Oral Robert's murder - July 31

Olympics LBTQ last supper scene - July 26

Biden drops out of presidential race - July 21

Worlwide computer systems crash - July 18

Last Tribune article about Taylor - July 12

"*The family's refusal to consider alternative scenarios regarding his disappearance has only fueled suspicion and mistrust.*"

To the contrary, the crazy theories sprung up *unaided* by any family action. One such theory was Taylor had with intention caught a smuggling boat to disappear. This would mean Taylor either attempted an illegal landing in the US or Cuba. Just an illogical, crazy theory.

The most likely scenario, Taylor is deceased and the body is in the ocean, very sad but true. She may have arrived there by intention, by accident or by foul play.

The funny thing about the current workday is employers expect you to work more than 8 hours and for these extra hours to be signs of a good worker and for them to go uncompensated.

I dont believe the 4 day work week equates to a business closing down 3 days a week. It means a shifting of work hours. You work extra hours for 4 days to make up for a 40 day work week and you shift schedules so everyday of the week is covered. But it is likely a decision business by business on whether it could work

You said 8.

I believe you meant to say, "*how can a 2 year old child go missing for more than 20 mins and noone alerts the police*?" I wont say the other words you meant to say.

How much development is going on on harbour island that is foreign owned air bnb rentals? Is the island being over developed? Are the locals being locked out of the power grid as when they are ready to build their homes resources are all taken up by money rich foreign owners who dont even live on the island.

When these new developments are being proposed the planning **has** to extend to the power grid. Our power issues in NP are likely due to the new hotels and explosion of luxury second home communities... on top of age old corruption

The problem with the public health system is deeper than worker tallies. I

The biggest problem is quality of care, too many times I've had relatives given nonsense diagnoses as determined by review of symptoms by a proven professional. That is the hospital's most pressing problem, nobody cares about number of workers if the error rate is high.

The secondary problem is the facilities and supplies, not up to par. The final problem is number of workers. All need to be balanced for effective healthcare.

I would have loved for Brave Davis to have taken his recent health issue to identify how many warehouse workers, nurses, hairdressers, barbers etc etc are living with like pain having to stand all day, with no option to pay for costly surgeries or take 3 months break from work. Commiserate with those people and determine how you first reduce the rate of this very common injury and second if it's possible to bring relief to persons suffering. But no he spent the entire time talking about his few months of pain. Never too late but the weeks passed are telling
