Woman drank water from car radiator during week trapped after California cliff plunge

Posted: 15 Jul 2018 08:27 AM PDT

Woman drank water from car radiator during week trapped after California cliff plungeAn woman has survived a week by drinking water from her car's radiator after plunging 200ft down a sheer cliff at a California beauty spot when she swerved to avoid an animal.  Angela Hernandez, 23, went missing as she drove from her home in Portland, Oregon to visit her sister in Los Angeles on July 6th.  She was last seen that morning on CCTV at a petrol station in Carmel, fifty miles north of where she was eventually discovered on the rugged stretch of coastline known as Big Sur.  Her mysterious disappearance sparked a major search as her frantic family awaited news and a $10,000 reward was offered for information. Seven days later, two hikers discovered her Jeep at the bottom of cliffs in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. She was lying close by, conscious and in remarkably good condition, screaming for help. Angela Hernandez posing with a Jeep before the crash Miss Hernandez said she swerved to avoid hitting an animal along the famously winding stretch of Highway 1 and lost control, plummeting to the beach below.  Although she had managed to get out of the wrecked SUV, which was partially submerged, her attempts to climb back up the cliff-side failed. Rescuers used a hoist to recover her and she was airlifted to hospital on Friday night. According to California Highway patrol, she appeared to have a minor shoulder injury and concussion and survived "by drinking water from the radiator of her vehicle."  It was unclear whether she had any food. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office posted pictures of the remarkable rescue, showing paramedics treating the young woman on the beach under the sheer cliff. Spokesman John Thornburg said she was lucky to be alive. "It's usually the fall that gets them, or the ocean that gets them, and she was lucky to survive both." Her sister, Isabel Hernandez, wrote "My sister is alive, she's talking, and she's still trying to come to understand everything," . "She's a fighter and she fought this long and she will continue to. It's not going to be an easy recovery. I hope everyone will have patience for her and her recovery." "I just want to thank everybody, everybody. Sorry I'm just in shock. Everybody that … helped us through the whole thing and Angela will be OK. I'm so happy."

Gaza ceasefire largely holding after day-long flareupBy Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - A ceasefire largely held on Sunday along a tense Gaza-Israel border on Sunday following a day of fierce fighting, but Israel remained on high alert and boosted its air defenses in case hostilities resume. Israel carried out dozens of air strikes in Gaza on Saturday, killing two teenage boys, and militants fired more than 100 rockets across the border, wounding three people in a southern Israeli town. The ceasefire, the second between Israel and Gaza's dominant Hamas Islamists to be brokered by Egypt this year after a previous day-long flare-up in May, came into force late on Saturday.

Haiti prime minister resigns after deadly unrestPort-au-Prince (AFP) - Embattled Haiti Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant resigned on Saturday following deadly violence and looting sparked by a now-abandoned plan to raise fuel prices, triggering a fraught process to form a new government. "I submitted my resignation to the president of the republic," who has "accepted my resignation," Lafontant said in the lower house of Haiti's legislature. Last week, the government in the impoverished Caribbean country announced plans for major fuel price hikes -- 38 percent for gasoline, 47 percent for diesel and 51 percent for kerosene.

Emmanuel Macron pictured in emphatic celebration as France lift World Cup in RussiaEmmanuel Macron celebrated France's victory over Croatia in the World Cup final with his own animated display of patriotism. The French president was seen wildly gesticulating from the VIP area in the stands next to a more subdued Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader, and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, Croatia's president. Before embracing the players after the final whistle - and opting to kiss 19-year-old goalscorer Kylian Mbappé on the head - Mr Macron was pictured pumping his fists in the air as he looked down on the packed Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. As his team collected the cup on the pitch he joined Mr Putin and Mrs Grabar-Kitarović in handing out the winners and runners-up medals. Before the game Mr Putin said he told France's leader at a bilateral meeting that it's about time for Russia and France to "get over" the difficulties straining their relations.

In the run-up to his election in 2017, Mr Macron accused the Kremlin of election meddling, saying that servers belonging to his campaign were hacked by a group likely to be associated with Russia.

The Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) led the victorious 2016 offensive to rid Manbij of the Islamic State group and had kept military advisers in the town to train local forces. It announced last month it would begin withdrawing from the town as the local Manbij Military Council was capable of holding it on its own.

FANG surge leads stock market recovery, putting Netflix in spotlightBy Caroline Valetkevitch and Noel Randewich NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The FANGs have gotten their bite back, and they are helping Wall Street erase the wrenching correction that beset it in February. Facebook, Amazon.com, Netflix and Google's parent Alphabet have led the technology and consumer discretionary sectors back to record high levels in recent days. Whether they can haul the wider market over that threshold likely hinges on the rush of quarterly scorecards due soon from the four of them, starting with Netflix late on Monday.

Mike Pompeo rejects EU appeal for exemptions in sanctions against Iran

Posted: 16 Jul 2018 09:06 AM PDT

Mike Pompeo rejects EU appeal for exemptions in sanctions against IranMike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, has rejected a high-level appeal from the EU for exemptions from sanctions against Iran, throwing into doubt billions of euros worth of trade. Senior officials from Britain, France and Germany had pleaded with the US not to impose sanctions next month on European companies which do business with Iran.  In a letter to the nations' finance and foreign ministers, Mr Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin rejected the appeal, saying America wanted to exert "unprecedented financial pressure" on Tehran after President Donald Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal in May.  Mr Pompeo added that the US will not ease the sanctions until it sees a "tangible, demonstrable and sustained shift'' in Iran's policies. "The president withdrew from the [Iran nuclear deal] for a simple reason - it failed to guarantee the safety of the American people,'' Mr Pompeo and Mr Mnuchin wrote in a letter leaked to the press on Sunday night.  "We are thus not in a position to make exceptions to this policy except in very specific circumstances where it clearly benefits our national security.'' The letter was a response to an appeal from the three European countries last month, in which they said they "strongly regret" the US decision to withdraw.  Some of Europe's biggest firms rushed to do business with Iran after the nuclear deal was implemented in 2015 and last year the EU exported €10.8bn (£9.5bn) in goods and services to Iran.  Imports from Iran were also worth €10.1bn (£8.8bn). The other countries that reached the nuclear agreement with Iran - the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China - pledged to continue to honour the nuclear agreement to lift economic sanctions in return for curbs on Iran's nuclear program. However the US withdrawal may make that a practical impossibility. Iran has said it will stay in the deal if it still receives the economic benefits. The EU nations had sought a host of exemptions, including assurances that secondary sanctions on companies that deal with Iran would not be applied to EU businesses and individuals.  However, one EU diplomat said they had not realistically expected to get sanctions relief from the US, and a number of companies such as Peugeot and Total have already cut back their business with Iran for fear of jeopardising their business prospects in the US. The first set of US sanctions, which take effect on August 6, will target Iran's automotive sector, trade in gold and in other key metals. The remaining sanctions are due to come into effect on November 4 and will target Iran's energy sector, in particular its oil trade, and transactions with the Central Bank of Iran.

Parliament vote to reveal extent of anger over May's Brexit planBy William James LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will face the anger of Brexit supporters in her party on Monday when they try to force her to change course on her strategy for leaving the European Union. May is battling for her political survival after announcing a Brexit negotiating strategy that enraged eurosceptics in her Conservative Party, who see it as a plan to keep Britain too closely tied to Brussels. The size of the threat should become clear on Monday when lawmakers vote on amendments to legislation on the government's post-Brexit customs regime, with leading eurosceptics set to vote in favor of amendments that May opposes and back their own proposals to toughen up her exit plan.

National Ice Cream Day PSA: Beware the ice cream machine on 'Chopped'

Posted: 15 Jul 2018 05:00 AM PDT

National Ice Cream Day PSA: Beware the ice cream machine on 'Chopped'As we hunt for free ice cream on this glorious holiday, National Ice Cream Day, let us not forget that not all ice cream stories end well. Especially when Chopped's involved. The long-running Food Network show pits four contestants against each other as they compete for a cash prize. They go through three cooking speed rounds, whipping up an appetizer, entree, and dessert using random ingredients provided in a basket — you can get everything from sardines paired with watermelon to mud pie and potato chips.  SEE ALSO: The absolute best and worst ice cream truck treats The dessert round decides the game, and even though there have been more than three dozen seasons of this reality show, contestants still make the mistake of using the ice cream machine. Stay away from the ice cream machine! The ice cream machine will only bring you sorrow.  One of the following is bound to happen: You go for the ice cream machine only to be foiled by another contestant who got to it first, and there's only 10 minutes left before you have to present the dessert and ahhhh why did you want to make ice cream out of fruit cake anyways? You get to the ice cream machine before your competitor, and breathe a sigh of relief as you begin pouring a hot mixture into the machine. Wait! The ice cream base can't be hot. It'll ruin the ice cream. There goes $10,000.  Everything seems to be going well, you've managed your time, and you've got the ice cream machine all to yourself. You put the ingredients in and move on to doing other stuff, like making a nice boozey sauce to impress the judges. You come back to check on your ice cream, and it's just soup. It didn't work. What happened? Noooooo! This time, ice cream's looking good. It's spinning in the machine and has the right consistency. You use a spoon to scoop the ice cream out and oh no, what happened to the spoon? The ice cream machine ate it!  That spoon scenario really happened and is even featured in the show's "Most Serious Mishaps" video on Facebook.  There are memes dedicated to the ice cream machine and its evil ways. A recurring judge on the show has even admitted Food Network only has one machine for the drama. "It's really for creating that level of semi-chaos," said chef and restauranteur Marcus Samuelsson, according to Food & Wine. "It's really like cooking on a treadmill. It's not easy at all." No it's not. Make your life easier and avoid that machine. I don't think I've ever watched anyone have a favorable outcome when using the ice cream machine on Chopped. — Say Chels (@renegadewriter) July 11, 2018 You know you're setting yourself up for failure if your in the final round of chopped and you try to make ice cream — GABE (@GabeLashley00) July 13, 2018 not listening to tim : project runway :: using the ice cream maker : chopped — this cannot continue (@woodswake) July 13, 2018 Of all the gods that govern the Chopped kitchen, the Risotto gods are second only to the ice cream gods in terms of cruelty — Mike Golic Jr (@MGolicJR57) June 6, 2018 chopped contestant: ugh my ice cream is basically soup let's hope putting it in the freezer for the last 4 minutes will help it solidify !! — liz (@peachyliiz) July 10, 2018 The ice cream machine on Chopped is bad. I stress whenever a poor soul believes they can beat the odds and impress the judges with a cool, creamy treat, it's not gonna happen. Make something else!  So on National Ice Cream Day, which, like every year, is on the third Sunday of July, please take my advice future Chopped competitors: Beware the ice cream machine.
