The actual number of deaths could be much higher."The combination of high temperatures, humidity and not a lot of wind made it difficult for the cows to stay cool," said Matt Lara, a state Department of Health and Environment spokesperson.Videos showing the cattle deaths have been circulating on social media.

Kansas is one of the nation’s top cattle producers, ranking third behind Texas and Nebraska, according to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.Heat stress in cattle is caused by a combination of high temperatures, high humidity, and little-to-no-wind to cool them off.

(Photo Illustration by Rafael Henrique/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) SAN FRANCISCO - Twitter said Tuesday it has sued Elon Musk to force him to complete the $44-billion acquisition of the social media company.Musk and Twitter have been bracing for a legal fight since the billionaire said Friday he was backing off of his April agreement to buy the company.Twitter’s lawsuit opens with a sharply-worded accusation that "Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests.""Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away," the suit says.Twitter filed its lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which frequently handles business disputes among the many corporations, including Twitter, that are incorporated there.Musk alleged Friday that Twitter has failed to provide enough information about the number of fake accounts on its service.

Sandwich historian brings unique flare to vintage recipes on TikTok
LOS ANGELES - Would you ever try an oyster sandwich? How about a mustard sandwich with butter on rye bread? While they might not be the first thing you think of when you walk into your local bodega, these were quite popular in a bygone era.While there are many ancient sandwich recipes that have been lost to time, one TikTok influencer is dusting off old historical cookbooks to bring whatever people from the last century thought was acceptable to put between two slices of bread and showcasing it for today’s younger, hipper audience. Meet Barry Enderwick, who works as a marketing director in California for his day job, and uses that marketing skill in true "Mad Men" fashion to hopefully get people interested in absurd but once popular recipes from the 1700s to the early 1900s.While he’s not always successful at re-branding things like the mashed anchovy sandwich, his reviews have amassed 3.2 million likes. "We should have named this sandwich ‘harsh reality,’" Enderwick quipped in a video reviewing the infamous anchovy sandwich. That may have looked gross, but his following shows Enderwick isn’t here to chase anyone off. Enderwick says he’s been called the "Bob Ross of sandwiches." His voice is calm and usually creates a happy spin on even the most controversial sandwich recipes.A prime example of Enderwick’s work is the French "pan bagnat," which he has ranked as one of his favorites. The sandwich requires two days of work.
