Rochester Cathedral in Kent, about 30 miles from London, dates back to 1066, when it replaced an earlier church on the same grounds from the 7th century. It was previously known as Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The video, posted to Facebook by Ali Mohamed Belouizdad, shows what appears to be thousands of fish, flowing down a lane.

Pastor Oyakhilome believes that the protests are part of a master scheme to get rid of the police and embed microchips into people. The result, he stated, is for the government to always know where you are without law enforcement constantly monitoring. “There are many who don’t know what is going on in the United States with the riots. It’s not about the guy that died, it is not about black folks, and it’s not about black lives matter,” Pastor Oyakhilome said in the viral video shared on June 28....

Save urban metropolises like Detroit. Indeed, the final tallying scene in Detroit revealed how protesters demeaned and intimidated election poll workers at the TCF Center, attempting to halt the processing of ballots and suppress the voice of a city that was instrumental in the fate of this election. And yet, in response to the chaos that unfolded, the Reverend Steve Bland indicated that suppression efforts would falter, given that Black folks have displayed resilience from “picking cotton to picking presidents....
Willie Mae Harris, 72, from Bradley, was given a life sentence for first-degree murder in 1985 but said that the shooting of her husband Clyde was simply an accident related to self defence, according to the criminal justice website The Appeal which has championed her case. Court documents started that she had been a domestic abuse victim for a long time.

Hawk Newsome, co-founder and chairman of BLM Greater New York, told The New York Times on Saturday that the group will protest against the treatment of Black patrons.

Utah-based Culper Precision first shared pictures of the Block 19 handgun on its Instagram page on June 24, where the company said they designed it with Legos as they “wanted the second amendment to simply be too painful to tread on.” But, soon afterward, the Danish toy giant contacted Culper Precision to take the product down, which they later did. In a July 14 Instagram post, Culper Precision justified why it had created the custom-designed handgun and said it was “about the process of freedom, fun and responsible gun ownership....
Almost 60 percent of the U.S. population is now fully vaccinated, which means a large portion of the country’s blood supply comes from donors who have gotten the shots. Kaiser Health News—the newsroom for the healthcare-focused non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation—reported that there have been instances of COVID skeptics (or of people who don’t trust the science behind vaccines) demanding blood transfusions using blood from vaccinated people. American Red Cross spokesperson Emily Osment told Kaiser her organization has heard from unvaccinated clients who said they feared vaccinated blood would be “tainted....

They don’t know yet where they’ll be for Game 1 because seeding in the AL field is coming down to the final weekend of the season. The only certainty is that Toronto can finish no higher than fifth, so it’s assured of being away from the team’s Buffalo “home.” Where they’ll play is low on the list of wild cards in a Blue Jays postseason, however. There are least four more important areas of uncertainty:...
82-year-old aerospace pioneer Wally Funk qualified to go into space in 1961 through the “Women in Space” Program, but it was cancelled before she had the chance to fulfil her dream. Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, who was also on the flight, had described Funk as an “honored guest.” 18-year-old student Oliver Daemen, meanwhile, became the first paying customer to fly on board New Shepard, though Blue Origin is yet to reveal how much his seat on New Shepard cost....
It just took throwing every possible man onto Brown in coverage every chance they could. The Ravens’ defense got away with it. It won’t happen often against other defenses. It will be hard for the Cowboys, the Steelers’ next opponent, to pull it off. MORE: Must-see photos from Week 9 But now there’s proof it can be done. Brown put it as simply as possible, and as simply as it was executed: “The linebacker, the corner, the safety — those guys did a really good job....
Speaking to USA Today Sports, Jackson said he’s worried about the Panthers quarterback. MORE: Sports’ most iconic photos “The person I love in the NFL like my own son is Cam Newton.
