The bosses announced on Instagram: “He lived a life of love, he will always be in our hearts.” Since 2012 he only eats cat food

When spouses Bobby and Julie Gregory found out that the world’s oldest dog palm had gone to a 21-year-old specimen, they got in touch with Guinness World Records. In fact, her beloved Pebbles had already turned 22. It was last May and his stint in the Record Book lasted just over four months. The venerable Toy Fox Terrier was born on March 28, 2000 in Long Island, New York and died of natural causes on Monday. The owners themselves made it known via Instagram the next day, specifying that the four-legged friend “lived a long life full of love”.

Beginning in 2007, following her family in Taylors, South Carolina, the dog was “widowed” six years ago by her inseparable companion Rocky, with whom she had 32 puppies. The secret of its longevity? Listening to country music and sleeping until five in the afternoon: “Pebbles is like a wild teenager who loves to sleep during the day and stay up all night – Julie told the Guinness Book of World Records. His favorite singers are Conway Twitty and Dwight Yokum ». The decisive factor for the record was certainly his special diet, which on the advice of veterinarians has been strictly based on cat food since 2012, as it is richer in protein than that of dogs.

“Pebbles liked to try new flavors, she was spoiled and most of all loved – reads the note published by Gregory -. He wasn’t a dog like the others; He had a way of doing things and a personality of his own. She was a unique life partner and we were honored to have her as a pet and an integral part of the family.” Finally, in the closing lines: «There has never been anyone who has known Pebbles who has not loved her. We will miss him greatly and will always be in our hearts.” Barring unforeseen circumstances, the world’s oldest canine scepter will now be reunited with its previous owner, a Chihuahua named TobyKeith. However, absolute primacy is still far away, kept by an Australian Cattle Dog since 1939, which has even lived up to 29 years.

US carrier American Airlines resumes operations at Juan Gualberto Gómez International Airport in Varadero in November. The announcement, along with the increase in flights from other companies, has led Cuban authorities to already celebrate “a very active winter season” at the island’s top tourist destination.

According to the official press, 40 weekly flights from Canada, operated by Sunwing Airlines, as well as other connections from Germany, Portugal, England, Russia, Mexico, Holland, Brussels and the Dominican Republic land in addition to American Airlines.

Also from Spain, Iberostar’s airline, World2Fly, will increase its flights to the island this winter. It will remain on Saturdays departing from Juan Gualberto Gómez for Lisbon, but will increase three more flights from Havana ending in Spain to a total of six per week.

To these forecasts are added new connections launched this month, such as the Mérida-Camagüey route, inaugurated on October 6 and maintained every Thursday by the Mexican airline Viva Aerobus.

Cuban authorities reported that 48 weekly flights from different parts of the world are currently landing in Varadero. For the winter season, which starts on November 15, they announced that the flight terminal would start “new international transport companies and airport services”.

Although the official press did not specify how many flights American will operate, the largest US airline announced last July that starting in November it would offer two daily connections to Santa Clara and one daily to Varadero, Holguín, Camagüey and Santiago de Cuba .

The company’s announcement came as the Biden administration approved its flights to Cuba’s provinces, which were disrupted in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump’s administration by restricting air travel between the two countries.

Shortly thereafter, American, which currently operates six daily flights between Havana and Miami, submitted an application to the Department of Transportation to allow two more daily services between the two cities, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Finally, the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline will expand 13 more routes between the United States and Cuba for December.

According to the latest available data, which covers up to August of this year, Cuba has received 1,390,000 tourists, only 44.5% of the total registered in the same period of 2019 before the Covid pandemic, if it is more accurate numbers to compare.

The most important group of international travelers are Canadians (30.7%), followed by Cubans abroad (21.8%). Less involved are the United States (6.2%), Spain (5.6%), Russia (3.9%) and Germany (3.5%).

The data shows that the Cuban government’s strategies are progressing slowly so far to reactivate a key industry in the island’s economic dynamism.

Hours after the Nobel Peace Prize was announced for “Memorial”, the organization’s offices were turned into “public property”. US President Joe Biden warns of nuclear war.

• A few hours after the announcement of this year’s edition Nobel Prize of Peace to Memorial, a Russian court ordered the confiscation of the Moscow offices of human rights organization arranged. The offices are in “public property” converted, Russian news agency Interfax cited the court ruling issued on Friday. The offices form the headquarters of the human rights organization, where it has regularly held exhibitions. Memorial has been banned in Russia since late 2021. Founded in 1989, Memorial is the oldest and most important human rights organization in Russia.

Technology smuggling in favor of Russia

• According to a report on Friday, a 55-year-old man is in custody in the Netherlands on suspicion of illegally smuggling technology into Russia. The man, who was arrested in late September, was reportedly arrested in an unspecified manner, among other things. computer chips sold to the Russians. You too suitable for building weapons, it was said. It is known that Russia is trying, through allied powers such as China and North Korea, but mostly disguised through shell companies and agents on the open and black market, to acquire electronic parts, for example Japanese, Korean, French, Dutch and American-made, which in fact have already been installed in Russian systems, from radar and radio equipment to optical equipment in tanks and cruise missiles. Hubs of such stores are z. B. Czech Republic, Serbia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and India.

Military situation / troop movements

• Ukraine is making progress in recapturing Russian-held territories, according to President Zelensky. The Ukrainian armed forces would have recaptured over 500 square kilometers and dozens of villages in the Kherson region. An analysis.
• More than that half of the main battle tankswho are currently fighting in the Ukrainian army, are now considered of Russian stocks come. “Ukraine is likely to have captured at least 440 main battle tanks and around 650 armored vehicles since the invasion,” British intelligence writes in its daily situation report. Russian soldiers were poorly trained and how low morale is.
• these numbers certainly raise some questions and considerations. To keep the main battle tanks: Before the war, Ukraine had about 850 in active service over 1200 in reserve, approximately 2,000 pieces (Russia: approx. 2,900 assets plus > 10,000 in storage). If 440 captured tanks is “more than half”, this total can be put at – say – approximately 800. So the Ukrainians almost regained their former active force (about 850), but the question is what happened to the reserve. On the other hand, a well-known data platform currently only shows around 280 Ukrainian main battle tanks as losses. This would have reduced the active force to 570 vehicles, of which 440 is much more than half, or around 77%. Perhaps the proportion has been reduced again by mobilizing tanks from the reserve, but overall the tank reserve issue is inscrutable.

• It’s also growing in our own ranks criticism of military leadership. Deputy head of the Russian-backed Kherson government, Kiril Stremouzov, accuses “generals and ministers” in Moscow of not understanding the problems up front. Russian state television presenter Vladimir Solovyov, who always supports the Russian government, asks on his live broadcast channel: “Please explain to me what a brilliant idea the General Staff has now. Do you think time is on our side?”

• According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, NATO should consider the possibility of a prevent the use of Russian nuclear weapons – if necessary with preemptive strikes. “So they know what’s in store for them when they use it.” The Kremlin immediately responded to the statements. “Zelensky’s statements are nothing more than a call to start World War III with terrible and unforeseeable consequences,” said spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
• US President Joe Biden Sees Them Danger of nuclear confrontation with catastrophic consequences after Kremlin threats greater than in 60 years. Since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the world has not faced the prospect of a “Armageddon“confessed,” Biden said Friday night. More on that.
• Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a phone call with Russian head of state Vladimir put on stated, one want to support a peaceful resolution of the war in Ukraine. The announcement was made by the President’s Office in Ankara.
• This one eighth EU sanctions package against Russia is in effect. Part of the package is, among other things, the legal basis for one supported by the G7 countries Price cap on oil imports from Russia. This should significantly reduce Moscow’s income. More on that.

A victim of the deadly pileup that occurred on Highway 440 in Laval in 2019 has agreed to witness the hell she went through while in her car with her daughters.

More than three years after the tragedy, she is still suffering from the physical aftermath. She still cannot return to work and is still afraid to drive.

“I can’t go back to work, driving is very stressful. I have trouble walking and sitting for long periods. It changed my life and it will remain so for the rest of my days,” she confided to TVA Nouvelles journalist Yves Poirier.

Photos of his wrecked car speak for themselves: The electric car was so badly damaged that its tracks can hardly be seen under the scrap heap.

The lady has difficulty remembering the accident, but recalls being immobilized on the freeway while traffic was stopped.

“I was completely stopped to take the exit. I turned to talk to my daughters and then it happened.”

She doesn’t know if she was hit by the trucker first and has no memory of that moment.

Her daughters, who were 11 and 15 at the time of the accident, are doing better. They suffered concussions and broken jaws.

She said she was outraged by the trucker’s comments, who according to some reports should never have been behind the wheel of a heavy truck.

Jagmeet Grewal, 56, is charged with the involuntary manslaughter and assault of four people.

In an interview with TVA Nouvelles, he explained that he too was a victim.

“The victims… I find it unfortunate,” he agreed. I’m a victim too, but I understand they’re going through something they shouldn’t be going through because it was an accident.”

Two years before the Laval incident in 2019, Mr Grewal had been the subject of a psychiatric evaluation, which found him “unfit” for even menial work.

However, on August 5, 2019, he was behind the wheel of a semi-trailer on Highway 440 West in Laval. Unaware that a line of cars was stretched out in front of him near the entrance to Highway 15, a line of cars was rammed, resulting in a massive fire.

Gilles Marsolais (54), Michèle Bernier (48), Sylvain Pouliot (55) and Robert Tanguay Laplante (26) have died. The trucker was arrested 11 months later and charged with dangerous driving and criminal negligence, causing death and bodily harm.
