KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A missile strike seriously damaged a key energy facility in Ukraine’s capital region, the country’s grid operator said Saturday as the Russian military strove to cut power in far-flung populated areas while also defending against Ukrainian counterattacks in occupied regions .

Kyiv region Gov. Oleksiy Kuleba said the strike on the unidentified facility did not kill or wound anyone. Electricity transmission company Ukrenergo said repair crews were working to restore electricity service but warned residents about further possible outages.

The grounds crew closed in on the goose, but the bird took off. It flew all the way to near the Dodgers’ on-deck circle, where Cody Bellinger was standing. He flinched

Today, I’m sharing my top 3 benefits of home staging so you can sell your home for more…

1. Staging Elevates Your Home’s Perceived Value

Every seller wants to sell at or above the asking price, mainly because the seller will probably be purchasing their next home in the same market. Thankfully, staging raises a home’s perceived value to get top dollar.

Howard was a great but often overlooked American watchmaker

Over the years this column has covered a number of clock and watchmakers, some famous and others less so. Nearly everyone has heard of Rolex, and many other names are nearly as familiar: Omega, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, to name just a few.

And not all are from Switzerland, that great land of timekeeping. American brands such as Bulova, Elgin, Hamilton and Waltham have all made their own marks. Nonetheless, there are literally hundreds of other makers whose stars have risen and set in the firmament of horological history.

Today let’s take a gander at one outstanding but often

The Best Interior Paint Colors To Use Before Selling (And Worse)

Mom charged in newborn’s death suffers mental struggles that may complicate court case: expert

Three weeks ago, police announced Jeanene Rosa Moar had been charged with manslaughter and concealing the body of a child after investigators said they discovered the infant’s body in a garbage bin on a north Winnipeg back lane.

At a sentencing in 2016, a Manitoba provincial court heard Moar had significant cognitive and adaptive functioning
