If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

She was like an intriguing cross between Charlie's Angels actress Kate Jackson and Popeye movie star Shelley Duvall. Her name was Beth Howland, and it's been 8 years since her tragic death from lung cancer on May 24, 2016, just four days before what would have been her 75th birthday.

A few days ago, I went out to Twilight to photograph July's full moon. When the moon rose, the sky was clear, but suddenly, some scattered clouds appeared. Sometimes, they covered, sometimes uncovered, the moon, which shone intensely in the sky. When the clouds were in front of the moon,...

A young girl brutally attacked by a knife-wielding maniac in the middle of bustling London Monday was a tourist visiting with her family from Australia, according to reports.

The girl — just 11 years old — was randomly grabbed by the alleged madman, Ioan Pintaru, as she walked with her 34-year-old mother through London’s tourist hotspot, Leicester Square, in broad daylight at around 11:30 a.m.

After snatching the girl, Pintaru, 32, allegedly throttled her in a headlock and began plunging a steak knife into her body — stabbing her eight times before a nearby store’s security guard tackled him to the ground...

Migrants enrolled in the Denver Asylum Seekers Program won’t get cash benefits after all. The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday. Instead of Haven of Hope providing migrants with cash assistance on debit cards, it will instead provide “culturally appropriate” food.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

There are few things on Earth more exciting than stumbling across a chaotic blooming of rainbow wildflowers somewhere unexpected. Despite a popular belief held overseas that Australia is 98 per cent arid outback (with a tiny slice of Bondi Beach thrown into the mix), our land Down Under is actually home to a veritable abundance of stunningly beautiful wildflowers that have to be seen to be believed.

When I first played Capcom’s Monster Hunter games, I knew they’d be a problem for me. I love games driven by a million different systems, even if they are frustrating to figure out, and Monster Hunter fits that bill cleanly. On top of that though, they are also epic, elegant, and methodical in the way that FromSoftware games often are. Also it’s really fun to smack huge monsters with big weapons, duh. Now, you can get the most recent Monster Hunter titles on sale in preparation for next year’s gorgeous-looking Monster Hunter Wilds.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
