[Regnum] A woman who calls herself the daughter of Princess Diana and the reincarnation of Jesus Christ has killed her neighbor and his cat in London. The Telegraph reported this on July 25 But was instead, the devil's daughter...
The murder took place in August last year. It is noted that 35-year-old Habiba Navid attacked 72-year-old Christopher Brown, beat him with a frying pan until he was lifeless, and then also killed his cat. The woman was arrested after police found the man's remains hidden under his clothes.
It turned out that Navid had been living with the older man who owned the house for several years. During that time, she convinced Brown to register the property in her name. At first, Navid denied any involvement in the crime, but then confessed to everything.
It is noted that the woman suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and took the medications prescribed to her, but over the past year she ignored doctors' orders, did not take the medications and used drugs, which further worsened her condition.
So it appears.
After her arrest, Navid claimed that she was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, who came to her and resurrected her for a great mission - to destroy evil throughout the world. In addition, the woman called herself the daughter of the deceased Princess Diana and Egyptian billionaire Dodi Al-Fayed.
Once they’re nuts, the details of their beliefs don’t matter.
During the trial, it was revealed that Navid believed that Brown, whom she had killed, was the embodiment of evil and that voices in her head had ordered her to destroy the elderly man. She then decided that the evil spirit had survived and had taken over the cat, so Navid dealt with the animal as well.
The court found the woman insane and ordered her to be forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital. According to British law, Navid can be kept in the hospital indefinitely. But won't
[USNI] The former USS Texas (BB-35), a U.S. Navy New York-class battleship that served in both WWI and WWII, undergoes repairs at Gulf Copper Dry Dock & Rig Repair in Galveston, Texas, Sept. 18, 2023.
The deal to permanently moor the historic battleship, the former USS Texas (BB-35), at the Port of Galveston was finalized this week, the ship’s non-profit foundation announced.
The announcement secures a plan to berth the World War I-era dreadnought at Pier 15 as a museum ship — a plan that was announced in March by the Texas city’s Wharves Board of Trustees following a unanimous vote. The location is nestled between cruise ship terminals and is just a 10-minute walk to Galveston’s historic Strand District.

Tillman Fertita (current Amb to Italy) really wanted it for his amusement park of Galveston.
It had previously been at the San Jacinto Battlegrounds, where it had been since being saved from the scrappers in the '50s.

...She is The Last Dreadnaught, with solid service in two wars and a legendary day at Normandy. She absolutely deserves to be saved, though I suspect at some point in the next couple decades some hard decisions are going to have to be made - her intended life expectancy was only about twenty years to begin with, and she's (IIRC) 114 now. Somebody should start looking at a way to eventually get her out of the water like Mikasa or Victory and preserve her that way.
[Daily Caller] The Federal Reserve’s website boasts a freshly updated page explaining ongoing renovations to two buildings, in the interest of transparency.
The page neglects to mention the cost of the renovations.
The project’s price tag stands at a staggering $2.5 billion dollars, according to Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russell Vought. That’s up from a modest $1.9 billion proposal at the outset, according to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott of South Carolina.
Chairman Jerome Powell has grossly mismanaged the Fed.
While continuing to run a deficit since FY23 (the first time in the Fed’s history), the Fed is way over budget on the renovation of its headquarters.
Now up to $2.5 billion, roughly $700 million over its initial cost.... pic.twitter.com/lHK4cWlAvf

That’s a renovation not built from scratch. It’s comparable to a domed stadium. We should have refused to fund it and hope they would have moved to Canada or Mexico to spite us.

Generally, reconstructions while in use are expensive. Cheaper to tear it down and build new a one. But then, where would the workers go?
Oh, waitaminute...

[ZERO] Brain aging appears to have accelerated by several months during the COVID-19 pandemic, even in people who did not get sick from the virus, according to a new study.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications on July 22, found that in 2021 and 2022, brain scans from a large UK database showed signs of aging, including brain shrinkage, even in individuals who were never infected.
Although people who had a COVID-19 infection showed some declines in overall cognitive performance, the authors said that structural brain changes were seen across a larger population.
They highlighted pandemic-related stressors, such as anxiety, social isolation, and economic and health insecurity, as possible reasons for the increase in brain aging.
The research suggested that the pandemic may have also prematurely aged some individuals’ brains by an average of 5.5 months, even among those who never contracted the virus. The impacts of the pandemic on the brain were most pronounced in men and people from "deprived socio-demographic backgrounds," the study said.

[Regnum] Martial law has been declared in Thailand due to the conflict with Cambodia. This was reported on July 25 by Thai PBS.
Martial law was imposed in eight provinces bordering Cambodia. Martial law affected seven districts in Chanthaburi Province and one district in Trat Province.
“In order to protect the country from threats emanating from outside the Kingdom, in order to preserve national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the lives and property of the Thai people, it is necessary to impose martial law in certain areas, relying on the powers under Article 176, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, as well as Article 4 of the Martial Law Act BE 2457 (1914),” the publication reported.
The decision came into effect following reports that Cambodian troops had invaded Thai territory along the border. The publication added that the action was necessary to protect the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the lives and property of Thai citizens.
Earlier, Regnum reported that 15 people were killed in the conflict in Cambodia. Another 46 people were wounded, including 15 Thai army soldiers.
On July 24, the Thai military said it had been hit by multiple rocket launchers fired at its positions by the Cambodian army during a border clash. In response, the Thai military launched airstrikes against Cambodian troops.
Later in the day, Agence France Presse reported that the UN Security Council would hold a closed-door meeting on the escalation of the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia.
Tensions remain on the border between Thailand and Cambodia due to a century-long dispute over the territories of the Phra Vihear and Ta Moan Thom temple complexes.
As a result of the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, 15 people were killed. This was reported on Friday, July 25, by Reuters, citing the Thai Ministry of Health.
"Thailand's Health Ministry said on Friday that 15 people have died in Thailand as a result of the conflict with Cambodia," the report said.
The death toll included 14 civilians. Another 46 people were injured, including 15 Thai soldiers.
