Liverpool or Arsenal? What the stats say about the Premier League title race Liverpool or Arsenal? What the stats say about the Premier League title race Liverpool’s performance against Wolves on Sunday was hardly one to set the pulses racing. They were good value for their two-goal lead at half time – thanks to a Luis Diaz finish and a Mohamed Salah penalty – but after the break it was struggling Wolves who were the better side. This was the first time on record (since 2003-04) that Liverpool failed to attempt a shot in the second half of a Premier League game at Anfield, according to Opta. In fact, it was the first time in this ******* that the Reds went an entire half of football without attempting a shot in a home league match. But Liverpool boss Arne Slot was happy to see his side show they are able to win in different ways. “We had to show a different mentality, which we did and got it over the line,” he told BBC Match of the Day. “In a season like this we have played so many great games, but in a season if you want to win something you have to win the difficult ones as well when you are not playing your best. “If you want to achieve something it is not only about bringing the ball out from the back or Mo scoring goals, it is also about defending.” Opta’s supercomputer predicts Liverpool to win the Premier League pretty comfortably and has them to finish on 87 points, seven clear of Arsenal. The statisticians give them an 87.65% chance of winning the title, with the Gunners on 12.35%. Every other team has been given 0% chance of finishing first.

Israel’s Netanyahu signals he’s moving ahead with Trump’s idea to transfer Palestinians from Gaza Israel’s Netanyahu signals he’s moving ahead with Trump’s idea to transfer Palestinians from Gaza JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday signaled that he was moving ahead with U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer the ************ population out of Gaza, calling it “the only viable plan to enable a different future” for the region. Netanyahu discussed the plan with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who kicked off a Middle East visit by endorsing Israel’s war aims in Gaza, saying ****** “must be eradicated.” That created further doubt around the shaky ceasefire as talks on its second phase are yet to begin. Rubio, in his upcoming stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, is likely to face more pushback from Arab leaders over Trump’s proposal, which includes redeveloping Gaza under U.S. ownership. Netanyahu has said all emigration from Gaza should be “voluntary,” but rights groups and other critics say that the plan amounts to coercion given the territory’s vast destruction. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. Netanyahu said he and Trump have a “common strategy” for Gaza. Echoing Trump, he said “the gates of hell would be open” if ****** doesn’t release dozens of remaining hostages abducted in the militant group’s attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that triggered the 16-month war. The ceasefire’s first phase ends in two weeks. Negotiations were meant to begin two weeks ago on the second phase, in which ****** would release dozens of remaining hostages in exchange for more ************ prisoners, a lasting truce and the withdrawal of Israeli forces Trump’s special Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, told Fox News that “phase two is absolutely going to begin” and he had ”very productive” calls Sunday with Netanyahu and officials from Egypt and Qatar, which serve as mediators, about continuing talks this week. He also said hostages to be released include 19 Israeli soldiers and “we believe all of them are alive.” Netanyahu’s office said Israel’s security Cabinet would meet Monday to discuss the second phase. In another sign of closing ranks, Israel’s Defense Ministry said it received a shipment of 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) MK-84 munitions from the United States. The Biden administration paused a shipment of such bombs last year over concerns about civilian casualties in Gaza. Resuming the war could doom hostages This week marks 500 days of the war. Netanyahu has signaled readiness to resume the fighting after the ceasefire’s current phase, though it could be a death sentence for remaining hostages. Rubio said peace becomes impossible as long as ****** “stands as a force that can govern or as a force that can administer or as a force that can threaten by use of violence,” adding, “It must be eradicated.” ****** reasserted control over Gaza when the ceasefire began last month, despite suffering heavy losses. Netanyahu has offered ****** a chance to surrender and send top leaders into exile. ****** has rejected that scenario and insists on ************ rule. Spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou told The Associated Press the group accepts a ************ unity government or a technocratic committee to run Gaza. Netanyahu instructed negotiators to leave for Cairo on Monday to discuss further implementation of the ceasefire’s first phase, as issues over delivery of shelter materials continue. The Israeli military, meanwhile, said it carried out an airstrike on people who approached forces in southern Gaza. The ******-run Interior Ministry said it killed three of its police officers while they secured the entry of aid trucks near Rafah on the Egyptian border. ‘If someone has a better plan … that’s great’ In an interview last week, Rubio indicated that Trump’s Gaza proposal was in part aimed at pressuring Arab states to make their own postwar plan that would be acceptable to Israel. Rubio also appeared to suggest that Arab countries send troops to combat ******. “If the Arab countries have a better plan, then that’s great,” Rubio said Thursday on the “Clay and Buck Show.” But “****** has guns,” he added. “Someone has to confront those guys. It’s not going to be American soldiers. And if the countries in the region can’t figure that piece out, then Israel is going to have to do it.” Rubio wasn’t scheduled to meet with Palestinians on his trip. Arabs have limited options For Arab leaders, facilitating the mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza or battling ************ militants on behalf of Israel are nightmare scenarios that would bring fierce domestic criticism and potentially destabilize an already volatile region. Egypt hosts an Arab summit on Feb. 27 and is working with other countries on a counterproposal that would allow for Gaza’s rebuilding without removing its population. Human rights groups say the expulsion of Palestinians would likely violate international law. Egypt has warned that any mass influx of Palestinians from Gaza would undermine its nearly half-century peace treaty with Israel, a cornerstone of U.S. influence in the region. The UAE and Saudi Arabia also have rejected any mass displacement of Palestinians. The UAE was the driving force behind the 2020 Abraham Accords in which four Arab states — Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco and Sudan — normalized relations with Israel during Trump’s previous term. Trump hopes to expand the accords to include Saudi Arabia, potentially offering closer U.S. defense ties, but the kingdom has said it won’t normalize relations with Israel without a pathway to a ************ state. Rubio won’t be visiting Egypt or Jordan, close U.S. allies at peace with Israel that have refused to accept any influx of ************ refugees. Trump has suggested he might slash U.S. aid if they don’t comply, which could be devastating for their economies. Rubio is also skipping Qatar. Arab and ******* countries have conditioned any support for postwar Gaza on a return to ************ governance with a pathway to statehood in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories that Israel seized in the 1967 ******** war. Israel has ruled out a ************ state and any role in Gaza for the Western-backed ************ Authority, whose forces were driven out when ****** seized power there in 2007. ___ Natalie Melzer reported from Nahariya, Israel.

Donald Trump Just Shared A Very Ominous Post, And People Are Calling It “One Of The Worst Statements Ever Made By A Sitting US President” Donald Trump Just Shared A Very Ominous Post, And People Are Calling It “One Of The Worst Statements Ever Made By A Sitting US President” As we all know, President Donald Trump has a history of failing to follow the rule of law, which is what led him to become the first convicted felon to serve as US president. Andrew Harnik / Getty Images Considering his criminal history, his most recent post is profoundly concerning for any American who enjoys living in a democracy. Michael M. Santiago Recently, President Trump’s official X account shared a post that has garnered over 150 million views, that reads: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” @realDonaldTrump / Via x.com The White House has since doubled down by reposting his statement on the official White House X account alongside Trump’s official presidential portrait. People are obviously really worried about what this all means, so let’s take a look at some of their reactions: As you can imagine, people were appalled when they stumbled upon the post. @CamdenHutchison / Via x.com “Wants to be a dictator. If you don’t see it it means you don’t want to,” former Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said. Another user agreed, comparing Trump’s words to statements by historical dictators. @/krassenstein / Via x.com “This is literally a quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte — right before he orchestrated a coup, seized absolute power, and crowned himself Emperor in defiance of democracy,” this person continued. “well this should end the fascism debate!” this user agreed. @alex_shephard / Via x.com Another person compared Trump’s logic to the actions of alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, which many people saw as justifiable. @walterrothbard / Via x.com Another user pleaded with Republicans to be bipartisan and speak out against Trump’s words: @/jaynordlinger / Via x.com And Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence seemingly decided to speak up, reposting an essay he wrote in 2010 called “The Presidency and the Constitution.” Here’s a brief excerpt: “The president is not our teacher, our tutor, our guide or ruler. He does not command us; we command him. We serve neither him nor his vision.” In conclusion, this person said what many people reading Trump’s post are thinking: “He’s getting ready to do something really ******** ********.” @Angry_Staffer / Via x.com What are your thoughts?

James Maddison: Was Tottenham midfielder’s celebration a dig at Roy Keane? James Maddison: Was Tottenham midfielder’s celebration a dig at Roy Keane? James Maddison says he is doing his “talking on the pitch” in response to the critics who questioned him before he scored the winner as Tottenham beat Manchester United on Sunday. Maddison was the only player following in after United keeper Andre Onana parried Lucas Bergvall’s shot, allowing him to complete an easy tap-in to score the match’s only goal. He marked the strike with both a talking and shushing gesture celebration. And after the match, without naming any individual critics, he told Sky Sports: “There was a little bit of outside noise this week. “People will have their opinions, but I wanted to do my talking on the pitch. I hope there is a certain few that enjoyed me being the match-winner today.” This week, former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane said on The Overlap podcast that Maddison “got relegated with Leicester and he’ll get relegated with Spurs”. Keane also stressed that Maddison was a “talented player”, but said those who thought his return would help Spurs break into the top six “were in cuckoo land”. The 28-year-old had been out of action since picking up a calf injury against Hoffenheim in the Europa League on January 23. His goal against United was his first in the Premier League since December and his 10th in all competitions this season. Sandwiched between his talking and shushing gestures, Maddison also performed his usual darts throw celebration. When asked about responding to criticism, he added: “You do see it and it is there. Especially when it’s a big profile name. “Nobody is more critical of myself than me. To be fair to the gaffer, he always talks about blocking out the outside noise, but sometimes it’s difficult, you know. It is constantly in your face.

Mortgage and refinance rates today, February 15, 2025: Rates drop overall Mortgage and refinance rates today, February 15, 2025: Rates drop overall Mortgage rates are down across the board today. According to Zillow data, the average 30-year fixed interest rate has decreased by nine basis points to 6.53%, and the 15-year fixed rate has dropped by seven basis points to 5.87%. It’s unlikely that mortgage rates will plummet anytime soon. So, it could be a good day to take advantage of these small declines and lock in a mortgage interest rate with a lender. Have questions about buying, owning, or selling a house? Submit your question to Yahoo’s panel of Realtors using this Google form. Here are the current mortgage rates, according to the latest Zillow data: 30-year fixed: 6.53% 20-year fixed: 6.19% 15-year fixed: 5.87% 5/1 ARM: 6.45% 7/1 ARM: 6.40% 30-year VA: 5.98% 15-year VA: 5.43% 5/1 VA: 6.05% 30-year FHA: 5.75% 15-year FHA: 5.25% Remember, these are the national averages and rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Mortgage refinance rates are often higher than rates when you buy a house, although that’s not always the case. This embedded content is not available in your region. You can use Yahoo Finance’s free Yahoo’s free mortgage calculator to see how various interest rates and term lengths will impact your monthly mortgage payment. It also shows how the home price and down payment amount play into things. Our calculator includes homeowners insurance and property taxes in your monthly payment estimate. You even have the option to enter costs for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and homeowners’ association dues if those apply to you. These details result in a more accurate monthly payment estimate than if you simply calculated your mortgage principal and interest. There are two main advantages to a 30-year fixed mortgage: Your payments are lower, and your monthly payments are predictable. A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has relatively low monthly payments because you’re spreading your repayment out over a longer ******* of time than with, say, a 15-year mortgage. Your payments are predictable because, unlike with an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), your rate isn’t going to change from year to year. Most years, the only things that might affect your monthly payment are any changes to your homeowners insurance or property taxes. The main disadvantage to 30-year fixed mortgage rates is mortgage interest — both in the short and long term. A 30-year fixed term comes with a higher rate than a shorter fixed term, and it’s higher than the intro rate to a 30-year ARM. The higher your rate, the higher your monthly payment. You’ll also pay much more in interest over the life of your loan due to both the higher rate and the longer term. The pros and cons of 15-year fixed mortgage rates are basically swapped from the 30-year rates. Yes, your monthly payments will still be predictable, but another advantage is that shorter terms come with lower interest rates. Not to mention, you’ll pay off your mortgage 15 years sooner. So you’ll save potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest over the course of your loan. However, because you’re paying off the same amount in half the time, your monthly payments will be higher than if you choose a 30-year term. Dig deeper: 15-year vs. 30-year mortgages Adjustable-rate mortgages lock in your rate for a predetermined amount of time, then change it periodically. For example, with a 5/1 ARM, your rate stays the same for the first five years and then goes up or down once per year for the remaining 25 years. The main advantage is that the introductory rate is usually lower than what you’ll get with a 30-year fixed rate, so your monthly payments will be lower. (Current average rates don’t necessarily reflect this, though — in some cases, fixed rates are actually lower. Talk to your lender before deciding between a fixed or adjustable rate.) With an ARM, you have no idea what mortgage rates will be like once the intro-rate ******* ends, so you risk your rate increasing later. This could ultimately end up costing more, and your monthly payments are unpredictable from year to year. But if you plan to move before the intro-rate ******* is over, you could reap the benefits of a low rate without risking a rate increase down the road. Learn more: Adjustable-rate vs. fixed-rate mortgage First of all, now is a relatively good time to buy a house compared to the last couple of years. Home prices aren’t spiking like they were during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, if you want or need to buy a house soon, you should feel pretty good about the current climate. Also, mortgage rates aren’t predicted to fall drastically throughout 2025 like people were expecting a few months ago. So, now could be just as good a time to buy as in a couple of months from now. Also, the best time to buy is typically whenever it makes sense for your stage of life. Trying to time the real estate market can be as futile as timing the stock market — buy when it’s the right time for you. Read more: Which is more important, your home price or mortgage rate? According to Zillow, the national average 30-year mortgage rate is 6.53% right now, after gradually falling for a full week. But keep in mind that averages can vary depending on where you live. For example, if you’re buying in a city with a high cost of living, rates could be higher. Mortgage rates are expected to go down overall in 2025, though they probably won’t significantly drop anytime soon. Mortgage rates haven’t necessarily been dropping — they’ve been inching up and down. But most rates have fallen a little more than usual today. In many ways, securing a low mortgage refinance rate is similar to when you bought your home. Try to improve your credit score and lower your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Refinancing into a shorter term will also land you a lower rate, though your monthly mortgage payments will be higher.

Ruben Amorim: Man Utd boss says ‘my job is so hard’ after Tottenham loss Ruben Amorim: Man Utd boss says ‘my job is so hard’ after Tottenham loss Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim said his job is “so hard” after defeat at Tottenham left his side 15th in the Premier League. The Portuguese coach oversaw an eighth loss in 12 league games as James Maddison’s 13th-minute goal gave Spurs victory. The Red Devils once again struggled, although Amorim is having to contend with a 12-man injury list that led to him having to fill his bench with youngsters. Amorim, 40, has provided a number of honest post-match news conferences since joining United and was once again in trademark form on Sunday. “I have a lot of problems,” he told Sky Sports. “My job is so hard but I am here to continue my job to the next week with my beliefs and I will try to win again.” Despite his side being behind for more than 70 minutes, Amorim did not make a change until the first minute of stoppage time, when he brought on 17-year-old Chido Obi. The forward was one of eight teenagers on the bench and Amorim suggested after the game that he did not send more on during the game as he did not want to hinder their development. “It is the hardest competition in the world,” he told BBC Sport. “I am trying to be careful with them. I felt the team was pushing for the goal and I felt I don’t want to change. But they will play. “I am here to help my players. I understand my situation, my job, I am confident on my work and I just want to win games. “The place in the table is my worry, I am not worried about me.” Source link #Ruben #Amorim #Man #Utd #boss #job #hard #Tottenham #loss Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Court doc details death of adopted girl buried in Rose Hill Court doc details death of adopted girl buried in Rose Hill Sitting in a recorded interrogation room, a young girl became upset as she tried not to answer questions from a female detective about how her sister, who would eventually be found buried in the backyard of their Rose Hill home, went missing, according to an affidavit released Friday in the case. After the detective left, the girl told her father, Joseph Schroer, how her mother, Crystina Schroer, stuffed her 6-year-old sister in a box; she would be allowed out after 10 minutes, but, because she kept moving, Schroer stacked a crib, heavy blanket and more boxes on top of it, the court record says. Being crammed into a box, even a dog kennel, was a common form of discipline Schroer visited upon her adopted children, according to the affidavit. Kennedy Jean Schroer, who was born Natalie Garcia but had her name changed when the Schroers adopted her and her two sisters in 2019, stopped moving, the record says. Crystina Schroer eventually kicked the box to let her out, but Kennedy’s body fell out, limp and blue, the girl recalled when she later told the detective the true story a few days later, according to the affidavit. Kennedy was killed in December 2020. Her body was found about four years later, in September 2024. Kennedy’s body was in the fetal position inside two ****** plastic bags, buried in the backyard in an area of the Schroers’ ****-de-sac home in an area the family stopped maintaining. After Kennedy was found, Rose Hill police chief Taylor Parlier said the remaining children, who were all under 13, had been removed from the home. Schroer, 50, has been charged with several counts, including first-degree *******, child abuse, theft by deception, making false Medicaid claims and criminal desecration of a body. Joseph Schroer, 53, has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated endangering of a child, making false information, Medicaid fraud and interference with police. The affidavit has been released in the wife’s case; an affidavit has not yet been released in his. Kennedy was only discovered in September 2024 after Crystina Schroer took a “bunch of pills” and tried to kill herself, which led to first responders going to the home, the affidavit says. Crystina told officers that another daughter had killed Kennedy and that, after she drove around with her body for several hours, she buried her in the backyard, the records say. Less than two weeks before the girl’s body was found, a Kansas Department of Children and Families social worker went to the home after a report that a “sister killed the other sister,” the affidavit says. Crystina Schroer told the social worker that she didn’t need to see the children to check on their ********, which led the worker to close the case because of “insufficient evidence,” the affidavit says. The 44-page affidavit provides the most detailed account of what the siblings allegedly endured: Rationed meals, monitoring of the children’s movement with cameras throughout the house, torture, isolation from each other and from the outside world. The affidavit also characterizes Crystina Schroer as a person with a gambling addiction who told outlandish stories about the children being disturbed in order to get higher reimbursements from the state. The Schroers also kept collecting monies designed to support Kennedy, even after her death, the affidavit says. Here is what else the document says: Adoption A couple of people the Schroers fostered, either officially or unofficially, said that things seemed normal when they were there but started to take an odd turn after they left then came back to visit. One person who stayed with them for his senior year in high school said he was treated well, but when he went back to visit on Christmas in either 2017 or 2018, he “felt out of place and got a strange feeling” and had not been in contact with them since. A friend told the detective that she started to notice a change in Crystina Schroer around the time of the COVID pandemic. The children were always in trouble, forced to stay in their rooms and never allowed to leave the house, the friend said. A woman who lived with them when the woman was 17 described the Schroers as a loving couple who would work through their issues. But things were different when the woman moved back into the house from October 2023 to March 2024. Schroer told the woman that she wanted to send the children away to boarding school. The children were not allowed to go outside or play, the woman said. “They never went to a doctor’s appointment and were pulled out of school and home schooled,” the affidavit says. “DCF and TFI (assume The Family Initiative) never came to visit the home.” The woman thought about making a report to DCF, but didn’t. “The foster kids were in their rooms 24 hours a day for seven days a week,” the affidavit says. “Crystina would make them lay on the floor without a pillow or blanket, completely still without being able to move for several hours at a time. Crystina would give the kids a piece of bread with a jelly packet for a meal.” Schroer told the woman and her friend that Kennedy had gone back to the state. The document doesn’t say where Joseph Schroer thought Kennedy went, but that he did get a text from his wife that day “that something was going on at the house, but (Crystina) had it under control.” The court record, which has redactions in it, stated that someone had been choked and that someone was taken by ambulance to a psychiatric facility. Crystina Schroer left the home with Kennedy, but didn’t return with her. After returning home, a child “said her mother showed her photographs on her phone of children strapped to beds and told her they were tortured, and she would be next.” The mother also would “tell all the girls that (redacted) was burning in a fire in hell and if they were bad, they would burn too,” the affidavit says. One witness told police how, when he was 16, he ran away from home after he “flipped” out and attacked Schroer after it sounded like she was drowning another child. “(Redacted) was in the shower on her knees, and she was asking her mom to stop and was crying,” the affidavit says. Texts show Schroer also became more agitated. In a Jan. 9, 2023 text about a bowl broken by her biological child, Schroer told her husband that: “IDC (I don’t care) if she told you or not, I about punched her in the face. I’m done, these girls have me on edge. I’m going to kill everyone soon.” Witnesses said Schroer’s gambling problems put a financial strain on the home and caused issues in the marriage. Witnesses told police that Schroer had to shuffle money around from different accounts and was “always needing money due to her bank accounts being locked up,” the court document says. Gambling and money problems Police searching the home found bankruptcy papers. She had “lifetime totals” of nearly $4.2 million in “Coin In” from slot machines at 7 Clans First Council Casino Hotel, the document says. That means her playing, including winnings that could have been reinvested and losses, accounted for the nearly $4.2 million. Her jackpots at the casino totaled nearly $362,000. She gave her husband $200 of each of his paychecks for an allowance and kept the rest, which included the largest reimbursements for their fostering and adoptions. One witness, who had worked as the St. Francis Ministries foster care worker assigned to the Schroers, said Schroer kept detailed records about what the children did so she could get higher reimbursements. It included allegations that the kids smeared their ****** around the house, beat the dog and hurt themselves and each other. “I can tell you this, she reported a lot of things I never saw,” the worker told police. She gave “me enough information that I could adjust any of those rates as high as the top rate.” Schroer would call them “crack whores” and “call them insane” but she had “never seen any of those kids acting in that manner, ever.” Schroer also apparently did not favor Kennedy among the other girls. “I got the distinct impression that (redacted) was the least liked, it did not surprise me what I found out,” she said. “(Redacted) was just disregarded, like she was just not interested in her at all.” The worker added: “I did tell my supervisor that I did not know how to take (Schroer), she spoke about the kids like they were things in the house, like lamps … there was not a lot of warmth except toward the babies.” There were other monies the Schroers collected after Kennedy died as well. “Crystina and possibly Joseph signed documents” to the state that allowed them to accept over $23,000 in USAA monies on behalf of Kennedy, the document says. There was also roughly another $3,828 in Medicaid money for Kennedy that they received after her death, the document says. Internet searches Within a month of Kennedy’s body being found, searches being made on Schroer’s phone included: “how to overdose on pills,” “Signs of sociopath in a 4-year-old child,” “get arrested and can’t afford lawyer,” “can I donate my body to science,” and “culpable deniability vs. plausible deniability,” the document says. The document says messages from October 2020 to September 2024 show a “history of physical, mental and emotional abuse to the entire Schroer family, by Crystina, to include:” Besides one paragraph, the roughly next 2.5 pages are redacted. After that, it says: “Crystina constantly tells Joseph through text messages between 2021-2024 that he chooses the adopted girls over her and that she doesn’t want them anymore and wants to get rid of them.” She also gave differing information to health and school officials, telling the Rose Hill School District that the children had to be removed from the school because one of them was sick and the others could bring an illness home, while telling health officials that the girls were kicked out for disruptive behavior. “Crystina reports violence by (redacted) and (redacted) to SCMH, which SCMH does not independently verify and begins to medicate the children accordingly,” the document says. It says “handwritten notes, corroborated by testimony of social workers, show that Crystina was fabricating medical ailments against some or all of her foster children in order to prescribe medications to them and increase her per diem stipend per child.” Some of the affidavit also points to Joseph Schroer’s involvement. Husband aware “Crystina admits to starving the children in order to gain their compliance, using food as a weapon. Crystina chastises Joseph for placing a bucket inside a closet where some of the girls were placed, in order for them to ******** in the bucket but instead they chose to ******** on the floor of the closet,” the document says. Crystina She also texted her husbong on Jan. 16, 2023, about putting one of the children in the dog kennel to sleep that night, the document says. The children were put in different kinds of boxes as punishment, the document says. One child told police that she and another sister were once forced into a box together, where she had to get in first so the other sister could get on top. “(Redacted) said it got hard to breathe in the box, it became hot and they were sweating together,” the document says. “(Redacted) said the punishment would last 10 minutes, as long as they stayed still and didn’t make any noise. When they were allowed out of the box, it felt amazing to get out, breathe and have a chance to cool off.” She said she was 9 the last time she was put in a box; she was 11 at the time of the interview. She remembers another time being in the box with items put on top in Crystina’s closet, the document says. Being locked in a box stuck with them. In January 2025, a new foster parent of the girls emailed a case worker a photo of a storage box they were using to store Christmas decorations. One of the girls girl “freaked out” and started screaming, “please do not make us get in the boxes, please, please we will never fight again,” the foster parent said. It took over an hour to calm the girls down. After they did, they pointed to the edges of the box, where the lid goes, and said “those really hurt when the door is closed and locked.” A ****** storage box, matching the one the foster parent sent, was found at the house where the girls lived in the 1400 block of Meeker Court. It was in the basement storage room, full of clothes, the document says.

Troy Deeney’s Team of the Week: Omar Marmoush, Gabriel, Chris Wood, Mikel Merino, Beto Troy Deeney’s Team of the Week: Omar Marmoush, Gabriel, Chris Wood, Mikel Merino, Beto Mikel Merino (Arsenal): Merino shouldn’t really get in my team of the week, but to come on and have the impact he had on that game at Leicester was absolutely massive. So I’m kind of breaking my own rule and giving a sub a place in my team. Ryan Christie (Bournemouth): Southampton are poor but he was excellent against them – the energy and ability for the cross for the assist, and then the goal was a lovely touch and he whipped it into the far corner. Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton): He is in it for one of the best touches I think I’ve ever seen. That is it, I don’t care if there are other wingers that fans want to put in, that touch alone gets you in team of the week. It was an unbelievable touch and then to have the calmness to finish was excellent. Yankuba Minteh (Brighton): He got two goals, was excellent, and was a thorn in the side of Chelsea all day. Newcastle obviously didn’t want to get rid of him and you can see why. His potential with his pace and power is frightening. Omar Marmoush (Manchester City): I have said since he joined Man City he would be a good player, and we’re starting to see now that he’s going to be an exceptional player for Man City. He has what Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva have in terms of their link-up play. He is so quick and can glide past people. He can also finish. Three goals in 14 minutes gets you in team of the week.

Thousands of birds being culled in Tyrone Thousands of birds being culled in Tyrone BBC The business affected is in County Tyrone About 64,000 birds are being culled in County Tyrone after suspected avian flu was reported at a commercial poultry premises. The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) was notified about the suspected case at a business in Dungannon on Friday. Minister Andrew Muir said after further investigation appropriate disease control measures had been put in place, including the “humane culling of all poultry on site”. He said it was a “precautionary measure”. ‘Major disease breakout’ Daera veterinary officer Ignatius McKeown said the department was concerned as, if confirmed, it was “a major disease breakout in a highly concentrated poultry area of Northern Ireland.” The disease was first detected at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute in Belfast but further testing has to take place for confirmation. Mr McKeown said the culling of 64,000 birds on the farm had already begun. He confirmed there were no other farms affected. “The Dungannon area has the main concentration of poultry in Northern Ireland,” he said, adding that the poultry industry was very important in NI. “The department will deal with it as quickly and efficiently as possible,” he said. If confirmed, it would be the first outbreak since December 2022 in a commercial folk. The vet confirmed to BBC News NI that the cull was taking place at Killygarvin Farm Eggs. Temporary control zonesGetty Images 64,000 birds are to be culled as a precautionary measure due to suspected avian flu Chief veterinary officer for Northern Ireland, Brian Dooher, appealed to all bird owners, both “backyard and commercial”, to take necessary steps to protect flocks. “This includes ensuring continuous excellent levels of biosecurity and adhering to all the requirements mandated under the avian influenza prevention zone (AIPZ),” he said. “Samples from the infected premises have been sent to the National Reference Laboratory to confirm strain and pathogenicity. Should HPAI be officially confirmed, these TCZs will be revoked and replaced with a three kilometre protection zone (PZ) and 10 kilometre surveillance zone (SZ),” he added.
