What happened to Columbus' directional malls
The mall, once a crucial part of American life, has struggled and evolved for years. Flashback: Our shopping scene was dominated by a quartet of directional malls and a bustling downtown shopping center, all of which have disappeared. ⬆️ Northland, Central Ohio's first major mall, opened at Morse and Karl roads in 1964 with a Lazarus and a Sears, drawing a reported crowd of 50,000, and was enclosed in 1975. The mall faded over time, and closed completely in 2002. The site has since been redeveloped for a variety of uses, including the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center. ➡️ Eastland followed that success by opening at Hamilton and Refugee roads in 1968 as Columbus' first enclosed shopping mall. By 2022, Eastland was declared a public nuisance. Columbus now plans a massive redevelopment project for the site. ⬅️ Westland opened in 1969 on West Broad Street with a similar mix of department stores, and enclosed its mall in 1982. It shuttered in 2012, with a remaining Sears store closing in 2017. The mall was finally demolished in 2023 and is now subject to redevelopment plans that include apartments. ⬇️ Southland opened in 1977 on South High Street, featuring a Gold Circle department store and its main draw, a Loews movie theater. The site later became the headquarters for the controversial and defunct Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, space now used by Columbus City Schools. 🏙️ City Center: Once the crown jewel of Columbus malls, the three-story City Center opened downtown on 3rd Street in 1989, anchored by Lazarus and Marshall Field's.

Just one Gupta property finds a buyer at Saxonwold auction
Furniture from two of the houses was sold as a separate lot per property. The loose assets of house No 5 were sold to an in-person bidder for R100,000, while the furniture of house No 7 went for R60,000. The furniture for house No 3 was not sold. Park Village Auctions disposal manager Graham van Niekerk described the outcome as 'exactly what we expected'. He said despite house No 3's rundown condition, it had more redevelopment potential. 'You can see for yourself the scope to upgrade it or start from scratch. The other two are very unique and difficult properties,' said Van Niekerk. He attributed the lack of interest in houses No 5 and No 7 to several factors: high municipal valuations, poor structural condition, restrictive zoning (residential 1) and the stigma associated with the Gupta name. Outside the compound, a small group of people protested, demanding justice and accountability for the family's alleged role in state capture. 'This is not the first time we have protested,' said Li Gula, from the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) 'We want the Guptas to come back and account. The NPA is moving far too slowly. The Zondo commission cost taxpayers millions and yet justice still drags on.' Lazarus said the auction was part of an effort by business rescue practitioners to open the process to public scrutiny. 'There is a stigma around these properties, but the most important thing is transparency. Everyone had the same opportunity to bid,' he said. Lazarus acknowledged that properties No 5 and 7 were always going to be tough sells. 'They are in serious disrepair and need major investment to restore. The business rescue team will now explore alternative methods to dispose of them, including closed tenders.' The auction may not have cleared all assets but it opened a rare public window into what remains of the once-powerful family's South African empire now reduced to crumbling mansions and unresolved questions.

HYDERABAD: H-NEW has arrested 33 foreign nationals over the past three years in connection with drug-related offences, City Commissioner of Police (CP) CV Anand said on Wednesday. Addressing the media at the CCS office in Basheerbagh, the CP said that 19 of the arrested persons have already been deported. He added that H-NEW recently apprehended two Nigerian nationals and has initiated their deportation to prevent further involvement in activities detrimental to national security.

When is Vinland Saga season 3 releasing? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 15, 2025, 16:56 IST Vinland Saga has captured the hearts of anime fans with its gripping tale of vengeance, redemption, and Viking lore. After two critically acclaimed seasons, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Vinland Saga Season 3. While official details remain scarce, here's a comprehensive look at everything we know so far about the release date, plot, cast based on the latest updates and speculation. Vinland Saga Season 3 Release Date Speculation Without an official announcement, we're stuck guessing, but let's break it down. The gap between Season 1 and Season 2 was about three and a half years, thanks to the switch from Wit Studio to MAPPA and some pandemic-related delays. MAPPA's got a stacked lineup in 2025, with stuff like Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and Lazarus in the works, so a release this year feels like a long shot. Some fans are hopeful for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere, especially if MAPPA's already quietly working on it. Others think we might be waiting until 2027, given how busy the studio is. On X, I've seen wild guesses ranging from a 2024 announcement to a release as far out as 2030—yikes! Those are just fan theories, though, so take them with a grain of salt. For now, late 2025 to early 2026 feels like a safe bet, but we'll need MAPPA to spill the beans to know for sure. Vinland Saga Season 3 Expected Cast We don't have official casting news, but it's hard to imagine Vinland Saga without its core voices. Based on Seasons 1 and 2, we're likely to hear: Thorfinn voiced by Yuto Uemura (Japanese) and Aleks Le (English dub) Canute voiced by Kensho Ono Einar voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi Leif Erikson voiced by Yoji Ueda What Will Vinland Saga Season 3 Be About? If Season 3 happens (and we're all praying it does), it'll probably dive into the Eastern Expedition Arc, covering manga chapters 100 to 166. This part of the story follows Thorfinn as he tries to fund his dream of reaching Vinland. Expect some epic adventures in the Byzantine Empire, with a mix of trade deals, new allies, and a few tense battles. It's less about all-out war and more about Thorfinn wrestling with his no-violence vibe in a world that's not exactly peaceful. There's also a chance the season could start touching on the final Vinland Arc, where Thorfinn works to build a new home in Vinland. The manga's endgame, with heavy moments like Einar's death and the struggles of Thorfinn's village, sets up a super emotional finale. Fans love how the story blends action with deep themes about finding peace, so Season 3 is bound to hit us right in the feels.

Christian village in Palestine holding out under attacks by Israeli settlers
After raising Lazarus from the dead, the Lord Jesus 'no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim,' (Jn. 11:54). Jul 14, 2025 Father Bashar Fawadleh, Latin rite pastor of Taybeh, with children from his community. | Credit: Courtesy of Father Bashar Fawadleh. By Andrés Henríquez After raising Lazarus from the dead, the Lord Jesus 'no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim,' (Jn. 11:54). Ephraim is today known as Taybeh. In addition to being the only entirely Christian village in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza, it is also known for its beer. This small village has been under recent attack by Israeli settlers, with the aim of 'undermining the dignity of its residents and the sanctity of its sacred land,' according to a statement from the pastors of the three local Christian churches. Priests from the Latin, Greek Orthodox, and Melkite Greek Catholic churches reported July 8 that Israeli settlers have set fires in Taybeh, damaging historic buildings and essential crops and instilling fear among residents. Fr Bashar Fawadleh, the Latin Rite pastor in Taybeh since 2021, told ACI Prensa, CNA's Spanish-language news partner, about the current situation. Although he does not speak Spanish, he has a special connection to Latin America: his mother was born in Valencia, Venezuela, but at age 16 returned to her family's homeland. Between 250 and 300 people remain in Taybeh, while many of the town's previous inhabitants have emigrated. Those who have decided to stay depend primarily on harvesting olives from which they produce extra virgin olive oil for the attacks began, the workers have been terrified of going to work the land because they have been attacked so many times. Fawadleh knows the situation very well because he was born in the small village of Aboud, near Ramallah. He says that, even before his appointment as pastor in 2021, he had never seen attacks of this magnitude. 'Their main goal is to occupy more land. To tell us: this land is for us, not for you. They do this to steal everything from the land. They also want to encourage us to leave this country, to leave the land of Taybeh. They do this to instill fear in the people,' he said. 'We are a peaceful people; we don't cause trouble, we don't have weapons, we don't have anyone to cause problems, difficulties, or restrictions,' the parish priest added. Since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the situation in Taybeh has worsened dramatically. Unemployment affects a large portion of its residents, who, being Palestinians, are prohibited from entering Jerusalem, about an hour's drive south, where many Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem is trying to alleviate the suffering by providing basic necessities and cash assistance so the people of Taybeh can pay for basic services and their school and university tuition. However, Fawadleh said, that's not enough. 'What we need now is to end this war, this conflict, to pray for peace, to seek peace, and to pray for justice, so that the fruit of justice may be peace,' he said. Despite the attacks and suffering in Taybeh, the community still maintains its hope, joy, and happiness, 'because we are Christians, and our hope and faith are in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, in the empty tomb,' Fawadleh said. The priest asks all people, regardless of their religion, to join in prayer to save the also called for pressure on the governments involved in the conflicts in the Holy Land "to stop these attacks and open all checkpoints and military barriers in the West Bank." 'Come and see' He also asked all people of good will to "come and see" the reality of Taybeh, echoing Jesus' first words to the apostles Andrew and John. "You can come and see it and stay in our homes," said Fawadleh, also emphasizing the importance of tourism for the people. 'We are living stones. You must visit us to encourage us to stay, to encourage us to be present in our land, because this is the land of Jesus' homeland,' the priest said. This is the uniqueness of Taybeh, which formed its identity after Jesus' visit 2,000 years ago. 'When he visited us, he instilled in our hearts that we are his disciples, that is, we are Christians. So we must preserve our culture, our traditions, our church, and the first flame of Christianity that rose up in Jerusalem,' he said. Then, all the pilgrims who go to see what is happening in Taybeh, Fawadleh continued, "will be able to return and tell the truth" about what the people need. The heads of the Christian Churches of the Holy Land are scheduled to visit Taybeh on Monday, July 14, as an expression of their solidarity and closeness. According to the local parish priest, this is a great joy and a clear sign that the Lord has not abandoned the small village. 'Jesus would ask us to stay and be present in our land,' he said. Upon their arrival, the leaders will pray together for peace in the ancient Church of St. George. 'Here in Taybeh, we seek peace and pray for peace for everyone, not only for Palestine, but for all the nations and countries of the world. When we have unity and love one another, we can hear the voice of God,' he concluded.--CNA
