1/1 PHOTOGRAPHS supplied by the RSPCA reveal the extremely neglectful conditions animals were left in by a pet owner from Weymouth. Deanna Pritchard, aged 40, was banned from keeping animals for five years after pleading guilty to five counts of causing unnecessary suffering to eight animals between August 1 and August 27 last year. The RSPCA inspected Pritchard s home in Meadow Close after reports concerning the welfare of animals and found a cat, four hens - one of which was dead - a royal python, a corn snake and a female hamster, which were all kept in extremely neglectful conditions. The cat was pregnant with an amputated tail. A court heard the cat was left in severe agony with a bleeding tail, and did not receive medical help.

Eugene software engineer Miguel Cervera has been a student of blockchain technology for years. “Many of the use cases for NFTs have not been discovered yet,” he says of the technology, which was developed in 2008. “There are a lot of ways we can benefit from it.”
So when
Eugene Weekly jumped on the blockchain bandwagon this spring and auctioned a unique digital image of its April 8 cover as an NFT, it naturally drew Cervera’s attention. The initial bid, from another local software engineer, was $50; Cervera bid it up in $100 increments until it reached $1,000 and won the
EW cover image when the auction closed April 23.

Amid a pandemic-caused financial crisis in its athletics department last year, the University of Oregon improperly borrowed $5.8 million from a bond reserve fund, money that was exclusively dedicated to paying off the bonds that paid for the school’s new basketball arena.
The university moved the money in June to shore up the athletic department’s finances as ticket revenue from sporting events virtually disappeared.
The University of Montana announced Wednesday in its weekly newsletter that no disciplinary action will be taken against a UM student who was pictured with a racist sign, citing the âprotectedâ nature of the speech, âeven if it is racist and hateful.âÂ
The announcement comes after a photo began circulating on social media over a week ago of two men with what appeared to be a prom sign that read, âIf I was Black Iâd be picking cotton, but since Iâm white Iâm picking you for prom.â The picture of Jacob Metzger, a UM student, and another man with the sign led to backlash from UM students and the creation of a petition calling on them to be expelled if they attended the University.Â
