PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kiera Duffy is disturbed by '10 Days in a Madhouse' as much as an 1887 public was outraged by the squalid surroundings exposed by trailblazing reporter Nellie Bly. 'The idea of the hysterical woman trope really does persist today,' the soprano said ahead of Thursday night's premiere of Rene Orth's musical adaptation at Opera Philadelphia. 'My sister at the age of 34 had a heart attack at a gym and was conscious and telling the emergency personnel, `I think I'm having a heart attack.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has drawn up a 'simplified' and 'rights-based' rules on the hiring of land-based overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), replacing the seven-year-old guidelines crafted by its forerunner. Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople on Friday signed the new 2023 rules and regulations governing the recruitment and employment of OFWs. The new set of guidelines will replace the old rules issued in 2016 by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), the predecessor of DMW.

NEW YORK — Bed & Bath & Beyond will live on, online at least, after Overstock.com acquired the bankrupt retail chain's intellectual property assets for $21.5 million. The online retailer Overstock.com is dumping its name online and will become Bed & Bath & Beyond, which declared bankruptcy earlier this year. Overstock.com's CEO Jonathan Johnson told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Thursday that the company is considering changing its corporate name but won't make any decisions until after it digests the assets.

news Yesterday we revealed that it looks like will be released for Xbox fairly soon after being a PC and PlayStation exclusive title since last summer. The source was the software rating board ESRB who had a dedicated page for Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, all but confirming that it's coming (they don't do age ratings for fun). But since then, the page has gone missing and only gives you a "404 error" message. A reasonable guess is that either Sony (who paid to keep the game away from Xbox for 12 months) and/or the publisher Annapurna Interactive asked them to do so.

By Nor Baizura Basri JOHOR BAHRU, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- The involvement of Johor Menteri Besar (MB) and two former MBs in the Barisan Nasional (BN) machinery is seen as having a significant influence in ensuring the victory of Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates in the upcoming by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary constituency and the Simpang Jeram state seat. Although it is said that a small faction of BN grassroots may have been disheartened by the selection of the PH candidates to contest in both seats, the strong charisma of Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad as leaders in the state is believed to be capable of addressing this concern.

In what was arguably their best opening 40 minutes of the year, Herbie Farnworth, Ezra Mam and Patrick Carrigan crossed for tries, with Adam Reynolds converting all three and adding a penalty in front of a boisterous crowd at The Gabba.  While Brisbane's fourth-straight win keeps them right in the race for the minor premiership – jumping them to the top of the Telstra Premiership ladder for the meantime ahead of the Panthers playing on Saturday night – it could spell the end of the Roosters' hopes of playing finals in 2023.
