"That was so heartwarming to us to see how much Chicago readers really wanted to see this kind of news come back," Lulay said. |
Block Club Chicago, like the Colorado Sun, receives support from Civil, a blockchain journalism startup. |
Both Lulay and Ryckman stressed that the "journalism" aspect of their job is easy to navigate. What's more difficult is having to wear multiple hats in a new company. |
"We are now also H.R. people," Lulay told Stelter of herself and her co-founders Jen Sabella and Shamus Toomey. "We are customer service representatives. We are grant writers. There's a lot of other things that go into running an organization of this size besides the journalism." |
"I tell a story that when I was a kid, my parents owned a small business," Ryckman said. "My father was the CEO and the janitor. And that's sort of the position that I'm in at the Colorado Sun. You do what needs to be done." |
Morrisons has announced that from Monday, supermarket customers will pay below £1-a-litre for petrol for the first time in six months. |
The Bradford-based supermarket is reducing the price of unleaded to a maximum of 109.9 pence at its 333 forecourts from this morning. |
Then from tomorrow, customers who shop in Morrisons supermarkets and spend £50, will be entitled to fill up for 99.9p, a further cut of 10p-a-litre. |
Morrisons said it is making the cuts to help motorists with the cost of getting around during the pre-Christmas shopping spree. |
Average petrol and diesel prices have hovered above the £1.10 mark since June this year, according to petrolprices.com. The current average for unleaded is listed as just above £1.15-a-litre. |
The supermarket is also cutting the price of diesel. Drivers of diesel cars, who buy their groceries in Morrisons, will also receive 10p-a-litre cuts taking prices to just above the £1-a-litre mark. |
Morrisons says the offer will run from November 21 to December 3. Customers who spend £50 or more in participating stores will receive a voucher that will allow them to pay the lower price. |

ET has learned that Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to Emory University Hospital after being rushed to North Fulton Hospital over the weekend. ET's Nischelle Turner was on the ground in Georgia gathering new details on Bobbi Kristina's hospitalization. |
According to a source, Bobbi Kristina, who had reportedly been placed in a medically induced coma, opened and closed her eyes, which can be taken as a big stride forward. |
Dr. Rachael Ross of The Doctorstold us what this could mean for Bobbi Kristina. |
"My take from this is that Bobbi Kristina has hit a plateau that typically the average person doesn't pull out of, but under the care of EU and physicians there the hopes are that they can work a miracle," Dr. Ross said. |
Bobbi Kristina was reportedly found face down in a bathtub of water just days shy of the third anniversary of the death of her mother, Whitney Houston. The man who called 911 was 24-year-old Maxwell Lomas, a friend who had recently been sprung from jail on drug possession charges. |
"We are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina," Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, legal counsel for Bobbi's father Bobby Brown, told ET. |
ET's Brooke Anderson sat down with grief counselor David Kessler, an expert on healing and loss, to get his take on what Bobbi Kristina could have been feeling leading up to the incident. |
"There was no coincidence that she was in a bathtub," Kessler said. "Many times in grief, people will reenact the scenarios or mimic. If their loved one had chest pain, they get chest pain. If your mother died in a bathtub, you might wonder what that was like." |
Bobbi Kristina's mother Whitney Houston was found dead on Feb. 11, 2012, of an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub in Los Angeles, in which drugs and heart disease were also said to have played a part. |
An overwhelming majority of Americans are throwing their support behind President Barack Obama’s move to open up relations with Cuba, a new poll shows. |
The Washington Post-ABC News poll show 64 percent of those polled are in favor of establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, while 68 percent are in favor of ending the trade embargo. |
Even more — 74 percent — are in favor of ending travel restrictions. That’s up 19 percent from five years ago when the Washington Post-ABC News poll asked the same question. |
More than three-quarters of Democrats support all three measures, while support is weaker among Republicans. Forty-nine percent of Republicans support diplomatic relations; 57 percent are in favor of ending the trade embargo and 64 percent support ending the travel restrictions. |
The poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,011 adults nationwide and has a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent. |
The objective for Effingham County’s baseball team last week was simple -- keep winning. |
And the Rebels did just that, sweeping underrated Brunswick in a three-game set, 12-1, 5-0 and 5-2, to remain on track for a second straight Region 2-6A title. |
ECHS (21-5, 7-2) now must sweep struggling Bradwell Institute in a three-game set to equal Richmond Hill’s 10-2 region record. |
The Rebels hold the tiebreaker over the Wildcats after winning two of three games between the two teams two weeks ago. ECHS’s prize for finishing first would be the region’s No. 1 seed in the state tournament, which brings home-field advantage in the first round and, upon winning in the first round, the second round. |
ECHS’s week couldn’t have been more hectic. The school’s prom, a big social event for all the seniors, was April 6. The Rebels traveled to Brunswick, a two-hour bus ride one way, on April 8 only to be rained out. They returned for games April 10 and 12 with a home game sandwiched in against the Pirates on April 11. |
Brunswick took 1-0 and 2-1 leads into the fifth inning of the opener and the sixth inning of the third game. |
But ECHS rallied both times. Dustin Johnson had four hits and ignited an eight-run fifth inning with a lead-off single in the first game. Austin Mealor’s two-run triple highlighted a four-run sixth inning in the third game. |
Between the late-inning heroics on the road, pitchers Merritt Evans and Avery Elenbaas stranded 12 runners while combining on the shutout in the second game. The Rebels didn’t break that game open until scoring three runs in the sixth inning. |
Pitching was a key in the series. Ethan Johnson (6-2) and Garrett Miller went the distance in Games 1 and 3. Both scattered six hits and did not walk a batter. |
Evans (7-1) pitched in and out of trouble during his six innings in Game 2 but did not allow a run. |
ECHS opened its series with Bradwell on Monday. Game 2 is in Hinesville today and the teams return to Springfield for Game 3 on Friday. |
Bradwell (2-21, 0-9) hasn’t put up too much resistance all year. The Tigers are on a 12-game losing streak and have been held scoreless in four of their last five games. |
South Effingham kept its hopes alive for a Region 2-5A title by posting a three-game sweep of New Hampstead. It was part of a five-win week bringing the Mustangs’ record to 16-11 overall and equaling the number of wins for the team a year ago. |
SEHS finishes the regular season with a three-game set against defending region champion Wayne County. The Mustangs and Yellow Jackets began their series Monday in Jesup with identical 7-2 region records. |
Game 2 is today in Guyton at 6 p.m. with Game 3 back in Jesup on Friday. |
A sweep of the series would give SEHS the region title. Winning two of the three games against Wayne would place the Mustangs second behind Statesboro (9-3 in region). The Blue Jackets hold the tiebreaker with SEHS after winning two of three in their series two weeks ago. |
Losing two or three games to Wayne would drop the Mustangs to third place and put them on the road in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs. |
Senior Jakob Valleroy was among several Mustangs doing well. He struck out 10 and was the winning pitcher in the 6-2 win over New Hampstead in the second game of last Thursday’s doubleheader. Valleroy had three hits and four RBIs in the first game 10-1 victory. |
He also had two hits and drove in four in a 13-4 non-region win against Southeast Bulloch. |
Sophomore Phillip Cooper, who started the season on the junior varsity, had six hits in the New Hampstead doubleheader. |
And junior Brice Ogle had eight RBIs during the week. |

11/7/01 OLD foes Bromsgrove Rovers provide Kidderminster Harriers' first pre-season opposition on Saturday at The Victoria Ground (3pm). |
But memories of big Conference games between the two will be distant as the Midland Alliance side have freefalled in recent years. |
Harriers have just tied down one of their biggest assets plucked from the county rivals in Adie Smith. |
The 27-year-old, who joined for £19,000 in 1997, has signed a three-year deal and is set to hold onto his favourite centre-half role. |
Meanwhile, boss Jan Molby was happy with his players' response in a gruelling return to training this week. |
Harriers were joined by three trialists, including 26-year-old Craig Dean who used to play in Manchester United's youth team with the likes of David Beckham and Paul Scholes. |
Dean, a full-back or midfielder, has been much travelled since, playing for Tamworth, Nuneaton, Danish side Esbjerg and Norweigans Sogndal among others. |
Molby is also taking another look at former Aston Villa trainee Darren Middleton, 22, a forward who finished last season at Forest Green, and ex-Tranmere youngster Ian Joy, a left-back. |
Harriers head to Halesowen Harriers next Monday (7.30pm) and Evesham United on Wednesday (7.45pm). |
Abuja — In a bid to contain terrorists' attacks within the Lake Chad Basin, President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday chaired a meeting of member states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC). |
This is coming as the Nigerian Army yesterday responded to President Buhari's directive to produce a containment plan to end the Boko Haram insurgency. |
Buhari met with heads of government of member states of the commission in his capacity as the chairman. |
The Nigerian Army said routing Boko Haram from Nigeria's borders with Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic was top priority in the coming weeks. |
Following terrorist attacks on military bases and other locations in Borno State that led to the killing of many soldiers, President Buhari in demanding for a containment plan, also ordered the military to wipe out Boko Haram once and for all. |
In line with this directive, the army is stepping up collaboration with neighbouring countries in order to contain Boko Haram. |
Speaking at the ongoing Chief of Army staff Conference in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Yusuf Buratai, said part of the strategy included building alliances with foreign arms manufacturers including Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON). |
"The military's major concern now is routing the terrorists from their locations on the thin lines of Nigeria's borders with neighboring countries, and their re-grouping and re-arming across the border with support from international partners like Islamic State West Africa (ISWAP)" |
"In 2018, the Nigerian Army witnessed a lot of reorganisation and redeployment in a bid to improve our overall operational responsiveness and professionalism. Just two weeks ago, I approved the redeployment of some field and operational commanders in order to inject new ideas in the command and control structure in var... |
"We are also reorganising to align with some of our current realities. It is my belief that the Nigerian Army must start to plan and strategise on how to end the operations in the North East. To this end, I have directed for a change from a wholly defensive posture to one where we defend in numbers and conduct offensiv... |
"I must also add that no army can ever have enough equipment to conduct its operations. Hence, it is incumbent on all commanders and senior leaders of the Nigerian Army to recognise that we are involved in asymmetric warfare which calls for dynamism and flexibility if we are to succeed with minimal casualties. Therefor... |
"In the course of 2018, the Nigerian Army has consolidated on its drive in the area of research and development in order to improve on our home-grown capacity to innovate, produce and maintain some of our core requirements. In this regard, we have encouraged and supported all Nigerian Army officers and soldiers who hav... |
"We have also resumed full collaboration with the Defence Industries Coorporation (DICON) for needed parts and small arms and ammunition. Similarly, the Nigerian Army is partnering with several companies in Nigeria including Innoson Motors, Proforce Limited and Nigeria Machine Tools, among others, towards the productio... |
"We are also engaging some foreign technical companies and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to help us repair and refurbish some of our heavier and more delicate platforms. These in-house efforts are being done to complement the support that we have received from the Federal Government in the area of equipment pr... |
"So far, the Nigerian Army has taken delivery of several quantities of platforms, ammunition and other needed equipment. I want to seize this opportunity to thank the president for approving the purchase of these equipment". |
"President @MBuhari in his capacity as Chairman of the Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), chaired a meeting of the Heads of State and Government of the LCBC, on Security in the region. He will be back to Abuja later today (yesterday)," he tweeted. |
The other day a very nice person "tagged" me by e-mail with a list of 51 "getting to know you" questions developed by "The Facebook Team." By the way, if you still think that being "tagged' is what happens just before you are declared "it," and have to start chasing people, get a life, man. |
The person who tagged me with the questions called them "goofy," and said I should answer them only if I felt like it. Nonetheless, she instructed me to tag 25 other people with the same list of questions. Unfortunately, I could not understand the instructions for transmitting the questions to other Facebookers, so I t... |
Q: What time did you get up this morning? |
A: Well, it was around 6:15, but that is not my usual hour. I was going fishing and fish are early risers. |
Q: How do you like your steak? |
A: The person who sent the question answered that she "never eats steak," which right off indicates there something wrong with her. |
