For most of Prime Day, Amazon's annual sales bonanza, an unfamiliar face topped the site's Author Rank page: Mike Omer, a 39-year-old Israeli computer engineer and self-published author whose profile picture is a candid shot of a young, blond man in sunglasses sitting on grass.

BuzzFeed has launched a standalone site for its news coverage, called BuzzFeed News.
The idea is to separate BuzzFeed's factual news and in-depth reporting from its social media-focused (and light-hearted, pop culture-centric) quizzes and listicles.
News stories will continue to run on BuzzFeed's main homepage. The BuzzFeed News site will also include links to other BuzzFeed content.

Landscapes are moving targets — they're never finished. Plants, like people, change with the years. Since it's been too hot to do much outside, this might be a good time to jot down some notes of things that have been changing in our gardens (usually not for the better). They may be changes that will require us to make mid-course adjustments. See if any of these is going on in your gardens.
