Runway Devon tortoise found after 16-day adventure
Shelley returned home in good spirits, although with a suspicious lack of appetite."We tried runner beans, cabbage, cucumber, the full Monty," Mr Phillips said."She wasn't interested. I've no idea what she's been eating, but clearly it wasn't salad."The escape route had now been reinforced."There was a little chink in the armour, just some chicken wire," he said."That's all patched up now. If she wants out again, she's going to have to give it some really serious thought."

Zookeeper is mauled to death by a leopard after it escaped from its enclosure while he was preparing tour for visitors
A zookeeper has been mauled to death by a leopard after it escaped from its enclosure while he prepared a tour for visitors. The employee at Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, named locally as Uriel Nuri, was pronounced dead after suffering wounds to his neck and upper body. Local media reports that the leopard escaped its habitat and reached an inner courtyard. He was taken to Hadassah-University Medical Centre in Ein Kerem in a critical condition to undergo medical treatment. After extensive efforts, hospital staff declared him dead. Paramedic Dov Shari told the Jerusalem Post: 'I ran over and saw a man lying unconscious, with significant injuries to his neck. We immediately attempted to stop the bleeding, and very quickly, another team arrived. 'We gave him life-saving treatment, including CPR, before he was evacuated for further treatment.' The zoo said in a statement: 'During a routine activity to prepare food for the leopards, which took place as part of a behind-the-scenes tour for visitors of the zoo, a leopard managed to escape from the leopard house into the inner courtyard and attacked one of the zoo employees. It added: 'At no point was there any physical danger to the visitors, who were protected behind a glass window. 'With the help of the Israel Police, we are now conducting a comprehensive investigation to understand how the leopard managed to escape into the courtyard.' Police have since arrived at the scene, with officers seen entering the leopard's enclosure. Just last year, a crocodile that escaped its enclosure at Jerusalem Biblical Zoo was shot after it seriously wounded a staff member. The 45-year-old man was taken to an intensive care unit after being sedated, following the attack. A security guard who witnessed the crocodile attack shot and killed the animal.

Phillips 66 hit with $800 million penalty in biofuel trade secrets case
NEW YORK, July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. refiner Phillips 66 (PSX.N), opens new tab was ordered to pay biofuel maker Propel Fuels $800 million in damages for stealing trade secrets to build up its renewable-fuel capabilities, according to a California state court document. A state court in Alameda, California, on Wednesday ordered Phillips 66 to pay $195 million in punitive damages, in addition to $604.9 million in compensation the refiner was ordered to pay following a separate verdict. "In summary, the court finds that Phillips 66's misconduct was 'reprehensible' from a business perspective. The evidence at trial reflects that Phillips 66 took advantage of Propel Fuels by abusing its bargaining power during due diligence," the court order said. In October, a jury in the California court decided that Houston-based Phillips 66 stole trade secrets under the guise of gathering information for a potential acquisition and then used that information to create a competing business. "We received the order and continue to evaluate all our legal options," a Phillips 66 spokesperson said on Thursday. Sacramento-based Propel Fuels specializes in low-emissions gasoline and diesel fuel. According to the legal document, Phillips 66 approached Propel Fuels in 2017 about acquiring the company to enhance its renewable fuel business in California. Phillips 66 abruptly withdrew from the deal in 2018 and began selling its own renewable fuel in 2019. Propel Fuels sued the refiner in 2022, accusing Phillips of unlawfully using trade secrets, including financial data and business strategies, that the biofuel company had shared during their talks. "This is the result of years of perseverance by our client," said Michael Ng, lawyer at Kobre & Kim and co-counsel for Propel Fuels. "It was really important to them that they stand up, not just for themselves, but for innovators generally."
