BROOKFIELD, Ill. – A Chicago-area zoo is mourning the death of a 14-year-old lioness that died less than two weeks after her mate was euthanized due to age-related issues. The Chicago Zoological Society says the female African lion, named Isis, was found lying on the floor of a moat in her Brookfield Zoo habitat on Monday. Officials say it appears that Isis somehow fell. Despite immediate and intensive treatment provided by veterinary staff, the lioness suffered significant injuries and the difficult decision was made to euthanize her on Tuesday.“The safety and well-being of the animals in our care is our utmost priority,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of animal programs. “Although it is unclear what caused her fall, we are reviewing all aspects of this tragic occurrence.”Both Isis and her mate, Zenda, arrived at the zoo in May 2008. They often were seen grooming each other and sleeping together, officials say. “Isis and her mate were majestic animals who had a strong bond. The staff, who dedicated their lives to care for these charismatic lions, are heartbroken by their loss,” added Zeigler. 1132

Best Buy has succeeded during the online shopping era by beefing up its customer service. Once again, the retailer will lean on its customer service chops by expanding its partnership with Apple to offer repairs on iPhones and MacBooks at all of its stores.The two companies announced the agreement on Wednesday. Best Buy had offered Apple-certified repairs at select stores and will now bring repairs to its nearly 1,000 stores across the United States. Best Buy's specially trained Geek Squad employees will fix customers' Apple devices.For Best Buy, the expanded deal with Apple will give its existing customers another reason to visit its physical stores and could help the retailer attract new shoppers."This will drive traffic to Best Buy stores," said Michael Pachter, managing director at Wedbush Securities. "If the repair is something that will take an hour, the consumer will be captive in the Best Buy store and likely to purchase something."Best Buy has worked in recent years to improve customer service at its stores, a key advantage over Amazon and other online players. The retailer has positioned itself as the expert in a complicated consumer electronics market. It retrained sales workers so they could offer better advice to puzzled shoppers having trouble deciding which TV model or smart watch to buy."Our business strategy is based on offering superior levels of customer service," Best Buy said in its annual securities filing.Best Buy's relationship with Apple is also critical to its business. Apple is one of Best Buy's largest suppliers, along with Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, Sony and LG. Last year, Apple expanded its distribution to Costco, a move many analysts believed was a blow to Best Buy.Best Buy has around 900 Apple mini-stores at its locations that offer Apple products. Often, Apple mini-stores are placed at the front of Best Buy's big-box stores."Apple would say that Best Buy provides the best retail experience for their products and services outside of their own home," former Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly told analysts last year.For Apple, the expanded deal with Best Buy gives customers new access points for repairs outside of Apple's own store network. Apple said it has tripled the number of authorized third-party service locations in the past three years."We're always looking at how we can reliably expand our network of trained technicians and we're excited to partner with every Best Buy store," Tara Bunch, Apple's vice president of AppleCare, said in a prepared statement. 2537

Big companies like Amazon, Target and Costco are just a few that have increased the minimum wage of their employees to or near . On Tuesday, Bank of America announced they would increase their employee’s starting wages to even more than that, starting at an hour. In two years, the company said that minimum will go up to an hour. “I think we're gonna see significant change in income for a lot of folks, and that's gonna have an impact on the economy,” says Leo Gertner with the National Employment Law Project. Gertner says that while we may not think of banking as a low-wage industry, the average wage for a bank teller is .52. "Even the difference to , but then to and then , that's a huge difference. That's, you know, over 50 percent increase, and that's gonna have a really huge effect on some workers lives,” Gertner says. Molly Vigil, with staffing agency The Employment Firm, says in today’s job market, raising base pay is now a necessity for attracting applicants. “A lot of places are having to increase their wages just to attract people to apply for the positions that they have open,” Vigil says. “There's so many jobs right now.” Vigil says more and more companies will follow suit. In turn, that will yield better talent, who stick around the company longer. “I think you're gonna get people with a little more experience in the field, probably people who will bring some great ideas, great motivation to your team, some great teamwork, and just a good employee morale, which is going to help your longevity of your employees overall,” Vigil says. 1604

California Rep. Eric Swalwell is expected to announce Monday that he's dropping out of the 2020 race for president, according to a source familiar with his plans.Swalwell is expected to make the announcement at a 4 p.m. ET news conference at his campaign headquarters in California, concluding a short-lived bid for the Democratic nomination that failed to gain any traction.A spokesperson for Swalwell's campaign declined to comment.Swalwell announced his long shot presidential bid in April, pledging to mount a campaign that focused on the need for generational change in the Democratic Party and his commitment to confronting gun violence in the United States.Swalwell, though, failed to gain traction in a crowded Democratic field and only qualified for the first set of Democratic debates because of the Democratic National Committee's 1% poll standard, not because of grassroots support.Swalwell recently canceled a two-day trip to New Hampshire on July 3 and 4, in the first signal that his campaign might be coming to an end.The high point of his campaign was likely his direct and blunt challenge to former Vice President Joe Biden, the race's frontrunner, during the late June debates, where the California Democrat noted that he was six years old when "a presidential candidate came to the California Democratic convention and said it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans.""That candidate was then-Sen. Joe Biden," Swalwell added as the crowd gasped. "He was right when he said that 32 years ago. He is still right today."Biden shot back: "I'm holding onto that torch. I want to make it clear."But that was not enough to sustain Swalwell's campaign, which struggled to gain attention in the Democratic field despite the candidate's availability to media.Swalwell, throughout his campaign, urged Democrats to "go big and be bold." He proposed a gun buyback program to get certain weapons off America streets and said he would fund a study on gun violence.Standing outside the National Rifle Association headquarters in Virginia in June, Swalwell said, "We're not just here to stand up to the NRA ... we're here to beat the NRA."But Swalwell's campaign, at times, was often defined by awkward moments, like when he looked to deliver a clever line at the June Iowa Democratic Party's Hall of Fame celebration."I will be bold without the bull," the congressman said to a quiet audience. 2427
