Provide funding for mental health crisis teams
I respectfully suggest reframing a hotly divisive debate. We should be discussing “Re-Funding” police; i.e. reallocating funds to create mental health crisis teams, as many law enforcement members have said they need, and similar support efforts. Not De-Fund — RE-Fund. Elaine WalkerOak Harbor

Why your leftovers taste better the next day, according to science
Asda has teamed up with Charles Spence, a food scientist and experimental psychologist at Oxford University to understand the science behind leftovers. Mr Spence said: “People often say that food tastes better the day after it was first prepared. As an ardent curry fan, I know how much better curry can taste as the dish develops between cooking and reheating. “Dishes that taste better on reheating are moist (so avoiding the dangers of drying out or going soggy), and they often incorporate a complex range of ingredients. The results revealed that curry came out on top, followed by casserole, pizza, chilli con carne, and spaghetti Bolognese.

Can these pieces of equipment save you a trip to the gym and make the most of a home workout?
The workouts are choreographed by professional fitness instructors to give users a full body workout involving squats, lunges, jabs hooks and more. After a couple attempts, I got really into it, and it felt like a really fun game. It definitely seemed like a game than a workout - which is arguably a good thing - as it's still a great calorie burner. Because of this, I found myself using FitXR as a tough finisher or warm-up on top of another workout class rather than a standalone workout plan. With virtual reality you could be keeping fit by fighting zombies or slaying demons - rather than sitting in another gym.

How four CIA agents were killed on mission to eavesdrop on Chinese military in the Philippines
The CIA did ask the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to see if they could sweep the area, but nothing was found - 'not even a floating life jacket,' a former CIA officer told the site. 'There was a lot of pressure to do ops,' a former CIA operations officer told Yahoo News. 'He was protected by the SIS mafia,' said a former SAD officer. The former CIA officer agreed, saying: 'Kandra was a continuous screw-up, but once they make you a SIS they don't flush you.' In 2016 the Chinese Navy found an American-made undersea drone, which was floating in the ocean 50 miles off the coast of the Philippines.

Plans are under way to introduce a pilot testing scheme across UK care homes which could prove to be a game changer for residents and their families. This week, the scheme - called Condor - will place testing machines in a number of care homes where they will test people for Covid-19 through a saliva sample, The Sunday Telegraph reports. (Image: PA)At the moment, the Government is urging care providers to restrict movement of people around care homes in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Inside the 'biggest ever' anti-lockdown rally set to take place in Melbourne
A sophisticated anti-lockdown protest set to hit Melbourne will use encrypted messages, scouts, and rogue police officers to preserve the large-scale operation. Almost 700 demonstrators have vowed to swarm the city on Sunday for a mass rally against the Victorian government's coronavirus restrictions. Protesters marching along Elwood beach about 1pm were dispersed a third time, and several arrests have been made by officers. The restrictions remain in place, and both a State of Emergency and State of Disaster, have been extended a further four weeks. Multiple rallies have taken place in Melbourne over the past few weekends, with Victoria police responding with a heavy presence - handing out dozens of fines and making arrests.
