SANTA FE, N.M. – George R.R. Martin, the author of the books that inspired the TV show “Game of Thrones,” says he’s practicing social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. Martin provided the update to his fans in a blog post Tuesday, saying that he’s spending the time at his Santa Fe home writing the next book in the “Song of Ice and Fire” series. “Truth be told, I am spending more time in Westeros than in the real world, writing every day,” he wrote. “Things are pretty grim in the Seven Kingdoms… but maybe not as grim as they may become here.” As a 71-year-old man, Martin is in high risk age group for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. However, he says he’s taking the necessary precautions. “For those of you who may be concerned for me personally… yes, I am aware that I am very much in the most vulnerable population, given my age and physical condition,” he wrote. “But I feel fine at the moment, and we are taking all sensible precautions. I am off by myself in a remote isolated location, attended by one of my staff, and I’m not going into town or seeing anyone.”Martin, one of the most celebrated fantasy writers, went on to say that he can’t help feeling as if we are living in a science fiction novel.“But not, alas, the sort of science fiction novel that I dreamed of living in when I was a kid, the one with the cities on the Moon, colonies on Mars, household robots programmed with the Three Laws, and flying cars,” wrote Martin, :I never liked the pandemic stories half so well…”The writer also provided updates on the status of his businesses, including his bookstore, art installation and theater, as well as his nonprofit. 1674

Target capped off its best year in more than a decade with a strong holiday shopping season.Sales at Target stores open at least a year grew 5 percent last year — its best performance since 2005.Target's stellar 2018 got a big boost from the holiday season. Comparable sales grew 5.3 percent during its most recent quarter compared with last year. Its digital sales grew 31 percent.The big-box retailer gained market share in key categories like clothes and home furnishings during the holidays and got a boost from the growing economy. Target said foot traffic to stores was up.Target's stock rose nearly 6% during pre-market trading Tuesday, despite thinner profit margins from fulfilling online orders. Target waived its minimum order requirement on online orders during the holidays.The gap between retail's best and worst performing companies widened during the holidays and Target is among the winners."We have been driving an ambitious agenda to transform," CEO Brian Cornell said in a news release Tuesday.The company's strategy to compete against Amazon and Walmart by focusing on Millennials and young parents with affordable brands and offering a wider array of merchandise is paying dividends.Parents are crucial to Target's success because they spend more every year than shoppers without children.Investments in its stores have helped, too. Target has aggressively remodeled hundreds of stores, built out delivery and buy-online-pickup-in-store capabilities, and built small stores to extend its reach within cities and college campuses.Target also launched more than 25 exclusive brands, such as Goodfellow, a clothing label, and A New Day, a homegoods label, that burnish its trendy image."Target's strategic initiatives announced two years ago are clearly bearing fruit, with its online push continuing to generate impressive gains," said Charlie O'Shea, analyst at Moody's.Target has succeeded recently, but a parade of top retailers reported uneven results this earnings season. Some, including Walmart, TJX and Best Buy thrived. But L Brands-owned Victoria's Secret, JCPenney and Gap struggled.Kohl's sales at stores open at least a year grew 1 percent during the holidays, the company announced Tuesday. Like Target, 2250

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Experts recently came together to save a young gorilla’s eyesight at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The zoo says animal care specialists became concerned when they noticed that 3-year-old Leslie’s left eye had become cloudy. Closer inspection confirmed that her lens had changed, and her eye was shifting haphazardly, prompting her to favor her other eye. Because of her age and development stage, veterinarians decided to organize a team of experts, including doctors from UC San Diego Health, to perform the 542

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has authorized the diverting of .6 billion in military construction funds for 11 wall projects on the southern border with Mexico, according to defense officials and a letter from Esper to the Senate Armed Services Committee, which has been obtained by CNN.In his letter, Esper told Congress he has "determined that 11 military construction projects along the international border with Mexico, with an estimated total cost of .6 billion, are necessary to support the use of the armed forces in connection with the national emergency."The letter does not include the word "wall," as is typical in Defense Department announcements of this kind, but details how the funds will be used for new fencing projects at various border locations.The announcement fulfills a promise made by President Donald Trump in February to tap military construction funds to build his border wall. The move was slammed by Congress when it was first announced and only recently completed a Pentagon legal review.On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the decision "a slap in the face" to service members."This decision will harm already planned, important projects intended to support our service members at military installations in New York, across the United States, and around the world," Schumer wrote in a statement. "It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces who serve our country that President Trump is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost his own ego and for a wall he promised Mexico would pay to build."Schumer said that the lost funding would delay critical construction projects at military installations in New York, such as the US Military Academy at West Point.Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, also condemned the move."President Trump's immigration efforts have failed since day one. Today, he made it clear he is willing to take funds from our troops and disaster victims and divert them to try to protect his political right flank. And ultimately, that could put Americans at risk," he said in a statement."This isn't just an attempt to shift funding, it's a bid to shift power away from Congress to the president. Clearly, this administration is trying to circumvent Congressional authority and this ill-advised attempt should be legally challenged and struck down by the courts." Reed added.The American Civil Liberties Union announced Tuesday that "it would seek a court order blocking use of the funds as part of its lawsuit challenging the president's abuse of emergency powers to secure funds for a wall Congress denied."Military construction projects put on holdDefense Department officials say 127 military construction projects are being put on hold in order to use the .6 billion to fund building 175 miles of southern border wall.Construction is expected to begin in about 135 days in areas where the federal government already owns the land along the border, including the Department of Defense's Barry M. Goldwater test range in Arizona, according to Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller Elaine McCusker.McCusker said projects on private land could go past 2020 due to issues involved with land acquisition.According to chief Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman, half the money is coming from deferred projects overseas, and the other half were planned for projects in the US.The money originally intended for overseas projects will be tapped first.Though it was not immediately clear which military construction projects would be put on hold, the move could jeopardize the construction of command and control, drone and cyber projects as well as training facilities in the US and overseas.Which projects will be impacted?Defense officials said Tuesday that members of Congress whose states or districts will be impacted by the decision are being informed about the list of projects and once that process is completed the public will be told. US allies are also being informed about the impact to overseas facilities.Hoffman called the impacted projects "important" and said the Defense Department is working to get Congress to appropriate additional money to back fill the funds which are being re-directed to the border as well as attempting to get allies to pick up the tab for the US construction projects overseas.Democrat appropriators 4417

Taco Bell has a tortilla problem.The chain said that some restaurants are experiencing supplier shortages of tortillas, and that it is "working diligently to replenish the supply." Taco Bell, which has about 7,000 locations in the United States, did not share how many restaurants are dealing with shortages."We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause," Taco Bell added in a statement. The tortillas are used for its quesadillas and burritos.Some exasperated social media users complained about the limited menu on Twitter."I am at one of your Greater Rochester area locations and they are out of tortillas!" One user wrote on July 1. Another user complained on June 30 of shortages at a location in Rome, New York. A number said they were told by staff that the Taco Bell shortage is happening at locations nationwide.The shortages do not appear to be impacting Taco Bell's competitors.In response to queries, Chipotle and Qdoba told CNN Business that they are not experiencing shortages. Qdoba noted that it doesn't expect any in the near future.Taco Bell encouraged customers to order menu items that aren't made with tortillas, like the Power Menu Bowl or Cheesy Gordita Crunch.Last year, KFC — which, like Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, is owned by Yum! Brands — faced a chicken shortage so severe it had to temporarily shut down hundreds of restaurants in the United Kingdom. The brand apologized to customers for the inconvenience with a tongue-in-cheek ad. 1479
