MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A company has installed computerized vending machines to sell ammunition in grocery stores in Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas, allowing patrons to pick up bullets along with a gallon of milk.

American Rounds said their machines use an identification scanner and facial recognition software to verify the purchaser’s age and are as “quick and easy” to use as a computer tablet. But advocates worry that selling bullets out of vending machines will lead to more shootings in the U.S., where gun violence killed at least 33 people on Independence Day alone .

The company maintains the age-verification technology means...

NEW YORK (AP) — Target will no longer accept personal checks from shoppers as of July 15, another sign of how a once ubiquitous payment method is going the way of outmoded objects like floppy disks and the Rolodex.

The Minneapolis-based discounter confirmed the move in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday, citing “extremely low volumes” of customers who still write checks. Target said it remained committed to creating an easy and convenient checkout experience with credit and debit cards, “buy now, pay later” services and the Target Circle membership program , which applies deals automatically at checkout.

A city where the roads are waterways and the cars are gondolas — Venice is a place you have to experience to believe. Founded in the fifth century, this ancient city is a marvel of human ingenuity floating on 118 small islands, and visited by around 20 million people every year. Venice also gets hot in the summertime, hitting 82 degrees in July. Combine the sizzle with being in the inferno of tourist crowds, and jumping into those azure canals for a dip can sound quite refreshing. However, this is strictly prohibited. The reasons behind this are not just bureaucratic or for the sake of tradition. They are deeply rooted in concerns for health, safety, and the preservation of the city's unique ecosystem and heritage as a UNESCO site.

More than 15,000 people across Louisiana have been kicked off of state food-stamp rolls in recent months. The cuts date back to October 1, when federal officials reinstated work requirements that had been waived statewide for years and set aside nationally during the pandemic, according to data from the state Department of Children and Families Services (DCFS) – which administers the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food-stamp program.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
