I breed and train dogs that sell for $175,000 each. We place about 20 dogs a year, and it took us a while to be profitable.

After experiencing intense itching from head to toe, I developed a total aversion to dogs. I made my husband agree that we would never have a dog when we got married. My husband and I both worked internationally, he in defense and me in humanitarian efforts. We met in Afghanistan and later moved to Kenya, which was a region where his harder skillset and my softer skillset could both be utilized.

Just last month the same property, now remodeled, sold to Wahlberg for $37 million.

Ubuntu 25.10's Rusty sudo holes quickly welded shut

The Reg FOSS desk encountered sudo in the first public beta of Mac OS X, way back in 2000, but the classic C version is a venerable tool. It's so old that precise initial dates are lost to time, but the project's own history says it dates back to 1980. (The project's logo is much younger than the code - it's a reference to a 2006 XKCD comic.) Ubuntu has included the sudo command - and discouraged use of the all-powerful root account - since its very first release, 4.10 "Warty Warthog."

At 9.30am, when visitors were already streaming into the museum's galleries, two masked thieves used a goods lift on a truck parked on the riverbank side of the building to reach a balcony on the first floor. Using two grinders, which they also reportedly threatened museum employees with, the thieves cut through a glazed window leading to the Apollo Gallery of decorative art, smashed two cabinets displaying 19th century royal and imperial jewellery and grabbed ten items, before escaping back down the ladder and fleeing with two accomplices on TMax scooters.
