JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF Upshot Coffee moved to Heathcote's Bridle Path Rd after the 2011 earthquakes. The end of their temporary consent means they may have to move again or shut down. Megan Geels has gone to work early nearly every day for 10 years, but she may lose her livelihood due to council red tape. Geels goes to work early because she likes to sit to out the back of her coffee shop, quietly overlooking the Heathcote Valley, before the rush begins. “I don’t have to be in at 5.30am, but I have a coffee or two and sit in the dark,” she said. Upshot Coffee moved to its spot on Bridle Path Rd after the 2011 earthquakes. It attracts residents from all over Heathcote Valley, Mt Pleasant, and Lyttelton, and passing police, firefighters and tradies regularly stop in for a quick coffee break.

Full list of 16 Heinz Kraft items disappearing from Tesco shelves including ketchup and baked beans
SHOPPERS are struggling to get their hands on some of their favourite items after Tesco pulled some products from its shelves. Heinz, who is behind some of the UK's most popular food brands, and the supermarket giant are in a pricing bust-up leading to empty shelves. Tesco said it did not want to up its prices during the cost-of-living crisis and Kraft Heinz said it is "working closely" with the supermarket to come up with a solution. Last year, Heinz boss Miguel Patricio warned Brits to get used to higher food prices. He admitted the firm is "raising the prices" of products including ketchup and baked beans. A Tesco spokesman said the supermarket giant has "plenty of alternatives to chose from" while Heinz products are unavailable.

Urgent summer health warning as millions of Brits urged to take more selfies
BRITS have been urged to take more selfies as cases of deadly skin cancer rise. Medics have warned sun seekers to be aware of the most common signs of the illness as many experience hot weather . Around one in three people never look for tell-tale signals such as a new mole or a change in colour or shape of an existing one. Research from skin tracking app Miiskin found that just two in five Brits would check for skin cancer if an NHS screening was offered to them. The data comes as cases of the illness continue to rise in the UK with more than 2,500 skin cancer mortalities a year and 140,000 annual incidences of the disease. Around 15,000 of these tumours are melanoma , the most dangerous form.

Marjorie Taylor Greene uses altered photo of Robert Crimo to push theory
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a series of tweets Tuesday, including an image that's believed to be altered, to question the "dark" history of Robert Crimo, who is suspected of killing six people and injuring at least 38 more in Highland Park, Illinois. Crimo had posted a series of disturbing videos on the internet, and his online profiles were removed following the July 4 shooting. Greene criticized that move, arguing the best way to prevent a mass shooting is to understand the " dark and destructive path " that a suspect takes in life. Greene used the series of tweets to call into question Crimo's mental state and his potential use of drugs . She also posted a photo that showed Crimo holding a Bible in what appeared to be a jail cell. "Is he in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center in this photo? That's not his bedroom," Greene wrote . "22 yrs old and 5'11 and 120 lbs is not normal or healthy. What drugs or psychiatric drugs or both does he use?" … [Read more...] about Marjorie Taylor Greene uses altered photo of Robert Crimo to push theory
