"This was captured on the Markowski family's backyard security camera last Thursday afternoon in Akron, Ohio. The man on the ground is Raymond Markowski. He's 67 years old. Retired factory supervisor. Raymond had been doing light yard work near his garden beds on a warm afternoon when he experienced a serious medical emergency and collapsed. He was alone in the backyard. His wife Carol was at a grocery appointment. His phone was inside on the kitchen counter. The dog is a large black and tan German Shepherd named Bruno. Four years old. Raymond had raised Bruno from a twelve-week-old puppy. Bruno had been Raymond's shadow for four years. Followed him through every room of the house. Joined him for every morning walk. Sat at his feet during every evening on the back porch. The backyard security footage shows Raymond moving along the garden bed at 2:14 PM. Then he goes down. Hard and sudden. He doesn't get up. Bruno is on him within seconds. The dog presses his body against Raymond's side. Nudges his face. Paws at his shoulder. Raymond's hand moves once but he cannot get up. Bruno stands fully. Looks at Raymond for one moment. Then he runs to the fence. The footage shows Bruno at the fence line, jumping repeatedly, body fully extended each time. The neighbor, a man named Gerald Park, age 71, was in his own yard at the time. Bruno's behavior at the fence caught his attention immediately. Gerald came to the fence. Looked over. Bruno turned the moment Gerald appeared and ran directly back toward Raymond's collapsed body. Gerald told us: "The dog looked at me once and then ran back. I followed the direction he ran and that's when I saw Raymond on the ground. I had my phone in my shirt pocket. I called emergency services immediately and climbed the fence." Emergency services arrived within six minutes. Raymond was transported to Summa Health Medical Center. He received treatment for the medical emergency and was stabilized. He spent four days in the hospital. He is home now and continuing his recovery.

Last night when they fixed the mound, I noticed that they incorporated a ton of top dressing into the landing spot without sweeping it away. I bet they never excavated that and now the clay isn't sticking/firming up since the problem is in the same area. Embarrassing
Jacob Misiorowski has the grounds crew working on the mound in the 1st inning

They need to ride it out at this point. There's no team out there that's glaringly better than the Wild so they could very well catch lightning in a bottle and go on a run in the playoffs

50/50 shot if storms fill the gap west of the cities. But there sure are a lot of storms in the region!

I think some of that comes down to the audience your content attracts. When material is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator and generate maximum engagement, you're naturally going to attract people who think those kinds of responses are acceptable. If you want better discourse on your timeline, perhaps the starting point is producing better content rather than simply chasing clicks. I know you'll ignore this and will continue on the same path but at least you can't say you weren't told.

Viewer discretion advised. Tesla Sentry Mode captured the moment a speeding SUV slammed into a truck and burst into flames!

Yes! You don't have a choice once you're the owner.

I'm glad you're getting the word out on how this sort of thing can happen. I stupidly bought a hurricane damaged home in an HOA in Florida. Hit with an immediate assessment to replenish the depleted insurance fund and an increase in monthly dues. $13350 in fees one month into it

🚨HOLY CRAP: Turn this off on your phone right now. Go to your iPhone settings - accessibility - audio & visual - LIVE LISTEN. Turn off LIVE LISTEN. It even says it keeps TRANSCRIPTS. This is NUTS.

Basically nothing happened to the guy. Probation and an order to repair the guy's truck. Total slap on the wrist.

In the NBA's last 2-minute report, it was concluded that James Harden should have been called for a foul on Anthony Edwards' drive late. Also, the steal from LaMelo Ball on Donovan Mitchell was deemed incidental contact. Not surprised at either determination.

In your memoir, Chapter 12, you describe enjoying Ramadan in Dubai in 2011, shortly after you turned 30. Ramadan that year would have been in August 2011. if you were 30 by August 2011, you hit 18 in 1999--a year PRIOR to 2000 when you falsely claimed to have derived your citizenship from your father's supposed naturalization (of which ICE has no record). An adult 18 year old CANNOT derive citizenship from their naturalized parent. You are not, and never have been a US citizen. You cannot Constitutionally serve as a US Congresswoman. You have no legal right to even be present in my nation. Git.
