Ottawa firefighters evacuated an apartment building in Sandy Hill after detecting high levels of carbon monoxide on Saturday night. Ottawa Fire Services say they received a call from a monitoring company reporting an active carbon monoxide (CO) alarm inside a building in the 1-100 block of Robinson Avenue near Lees Station at approximately 10:30 p.m. Readings detected levels of CO as high as 36 parts per million, Ottawa fire says. All residents were evacuated, and an OC Transpo bus was called to shelter them. An Enbridge Gas crew was called to the scene and shut down all boilers inside and the air exchange unit. Firefighters used high-pressurized fans to ventilate the structure. Fire crews continued to take readings until the building was deemed safe. Residents were able to return to their homes shortly before 12:30 a.m. There were no injuries reported. Ottawa fire says it’s the second incident of a building being forced to evacuate because of high levels of CO this month.

Travis Barker's daughter Alabama turned 19 on December 24, and although she was ill with the flu and unable to celebrate, now revealed her gift haul – receiving over $35,000 in presents. The 19-year-old took to TikTok to speak to her fans, revealing she "didn't get to enjoy [my birthday] because I was so sick but I am back on my feet and I want to give you guys a Christmas haul." "I am so grateful for all my gifts and I wanted to share because some people requested it," she continued, before revealing she received Chrome Heart gloves and pink wallet, as well as a gorgeous diamond necklace from her sister with an "A" and a "B" pendant, and a cross necklace. She was also gifted a $7,000 Barbie pink Balenciaga bag in calfskin with rhinestones, and a black Prada bucket purse with diamante detailing. A third purse was a vintage Dior purse in chrome, and she also received a "so cute" tweed and leather Chanel back pack, which she said was a gift from Kris, presumably step-mom Kourtney Kardashian's mom Kris Jenner.

The teen also received two Poster Girls dresses, totally over $1,250, and a latex corset from the brand, as well as a $500 Jean Paul Gaultier dress that featured mesh detailing and the appearance of a $100 bill, and a Jean Paul Gaultier printed beach cover-up, worth over $350.

One-star Ginza Kitafuku in Tokyo serves the world's most expensive Michelin tasting menu at $2,130. While the visitors are served the best-tasting snow crab at the establishment, they must take off their shoes and sit on the floor. Diners must pay $2,130 per person for the restaurant's most expensive dish, made entirely of a snow crab so beloved by the Japanese royal family that it has its museum, reported the New York Post. Visitors may watch the chef at Ginza Kitafuku cook a live crab in front of them before it is served. If this sight makes you uncomfortable, you might consider reserving on the sixth floor in a separate room. For $258, the restaurant serves a red king crab feast for customers on a tighter budget. According to a list compiled by food publication Chef's Pencil, Ginza Kitafuku is the most expensive Michelin-starred restaurant in the world in 2024. The second most expensive restaurant on the list is Shanghai's three-star Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet. A meal at the establishment costs an astounding $1,230. The restaurant offers a "theatrical, multi-sensory dining experience featuring meticulously crafted dishes that blend French techniques with global influences," according to the outlet, which described it as "a captivating fusion of gastronomy and cutting-edge visual technology." Third place goes to New York, where Caviar Russe on Madison Avenue has the priciest Michelin-starred tasting meal in the country. Here, the guests can taste an 11-course meal focused on caviar for $950. Azabu Kadowaki in Tokyo and Masa in New York are two other eateries on the list. With a dinner that cost more than $950, Masa was the first restaurant in the USA to receive a Michelin star. Other notable locations are Guy Savoy in Paris, Quince in San Francisco, and Alchemist in Copenhagen. Track Latest News Live on NDTV.com and get news updates from India and around the worldWestmoreland County’s rental assistance program will stop accepting new applications to help low-income tenants pay monthly bills and housing costs, officials announced Monday. In November the county said it would use about $80,000 in leftover funds and another $727,000 earned through bank interest over the last three years to resume the program. Union Mission in Latrobe, which operates the program for Westmoreland County, posted a message over the weekend saying funds those funds have been exhausted and that as of Dec. 23 no new applications will be accepted as a result of overwhelming demand. Westmoreland County Human Services Director Rob Hamilton confirmed that the application period has closed. “It’s a great thing we had the money but a bad thing we had so many people who need the help,” Hamilton said. “We’re trying to take on a whole new approach to how we are addressing homelessness. I would anticipate we will have a more hands on approach and more solutions in 2025.” The rental assistance program was created by the federal government as a response to the coronavirus pandemic. Westmoreland County received about $37 million in funding for the program that helped renters pay landlords and help keep the lights on and water running in their homes. Renters with incomes 80% of the county’s medium income level, just less than $81,000 for a family of four, qualified for monthly grants. Dan Carney, executive director of the Union Mission, last month estimated the new funds from the county would assist about 200 renters for two-to-three months. He said the program received nearly 500 new applications since mid-November. “Even if 40% to 50% of those qualify we will have more applications than we can fund,” Carney said. He previously said 3,122 households received assistance during the three years of the program’s operation. Participating families received an average of just more than $7,000 in funding during the course of the program that provided assistance for up to 18 months per recipient. Westmoreland officials estimate there are about 35,000 rental units in the county, and 57% renting households, or nearly 20,000, met financial eligibility requirements for the program. “The way the economy is the margin for error is so much slimmer now. I know the county is look at ways to broaden our reach. We need to look for additional funds to tap into to keep this help going,” Carney said. With the rental assistance dollars exhausted, Hamilton said work of the county’s homeless assistance advisory board, which was formed earlier this year and includes representatives from private several social service programs, becomes even more important moving into the new year. “We’re conducting an analysis of all of our community groups to establish the need and bring people together so we are not playing whack a mole. We know that when people are put at risk of homelessness without a solution in six months they will be homeless,” Hamilton said. “The hope is we’ve been working on this and we can move the needle enough to put out programs to support those folks in the coming months.”
