Vehicles come to a standstill near a washed-out and flooded portion of the Palisades Parkway just beyond the traffic circle off the Bear Mountain Bridge, Sunday, July 9, 2023, in Orange County, N.Y. Heavy rain spawned extreme flooding in New York's Hudson Valley that killed at least one person, swamped roadways and forced road closures on Sunday night, as much of the rest of the Northeast U.S. geared up for a major storm.

It's a question as old as time and as controversial as the pavlova's much-debated origins. Should tomato sauce be kept in the fridge, on the bench or in the pantry? Well, Heinz has cleared the air and set the record straight regarding the top-tier condiment and its suggested storage instructions to ensure the beloved sauce is ready to dress and delight enthusiasts. The official Heinz UK Twitter account shared: 'FYI: Ketchup. goes. in. the. fridge!!!', reports the New York Post. The post caused much noise on social media, with some pointing out that the product is often kept on shelves in supermarkets and on tables in restaurants, so why must it be refrigerated? Heinz kept the debate going by asking Twitter users to vote in a poll whether they keep their Heinz in the fridge or in the cupboard.

LISBON - Filipa Almeida was 17 when she was sexually abused by a priest. She stayed silent for years but eventually found the strength to speak out and hopes a visit by Pope Francis to her native Portugal this week will remind the world of thousands of similar crimes. "I lived with this secret for 22 years," the 43-year-old told Reuters of her ordeal, which she said occurred during a religious training course. "It's not easy to live with these experiences." She is one of at least 4,815 people who were sexually abused by clergy - mostly priests - in Portugal over 70 years, according to an investigation published in February.

WASHINGTON - Russia may be able to increase production of artillery in the next couple years to about 2 million shells annually, about double some previous Western expectations but still far short of Moscow's Ukraine war needs, a Western official said on Friday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, estimated Russia fired between 10 million and 11 million rounds last year in Ukraine. Moscow launched its invasion in February 2022. "That's the predicament they've got," the official told a small group of reporters.
