Sunshine to return Tuesday, but we'll remain below seasonal temperatures
There could be some scattered showers Tuesday morning, but the rest of the day is shaping up to be clear and sunny, though below seasonal with a high of 18 C. gina weather / july 14, 2025 It's been a pretty gloomy 24 hours for Calgary and parts of southern Alberta after a gorgeous weekend of sunshine and temperatures in the mid- to high 20s. A ridge of high pressure started to break down late Sunday afternoon, resulting in the development of supercell thunderstorms fuelled by the warm, dry air. gina weather / july 14, 2025 Residents in Calgary's northwest and northeast quadrants were rocked by just such a storm right around 7 p.m. on Sunday, with strong winds and heavy rain and hail pummelling many neighbourhoods. The strongest wind recorded at the Calgary International Airport was 93 km/h, while areas south of Cypress Hills and in Claresholm recorded wind speeds of 115 km/h! gina weather / july 14, 2025 Following the storm, a more sustained system packing lots of rain moved into the city around 1 a.m. Monday that brought showers throughout the day. This system put Calgary and the surrounding areas under a rainfall warning as rapid amounts totalling 50 to 80 millimetres are possible. We will have a clearer picture of just how much rain Calgary received on Tuesday when this system has fully pushed out. gina weather / july 14, 2025 There could be some scattered showers Tuesday morning, but the rest of the day is shaping up to be clear and sunny, though below seasonal with a high of 18 C. Still much warmer than the measly 13 C the city got to Monday. Wednesday is shaping up to be stable as well, thanks to some high pressure moving in, but it won't stick around for long. By Thursday, a deep upper trough develops over Alberta, with several models in agreement that rain and thunderstorms will be possible in the late afternoon into the evening. That trend carries on into the weekend as well, with clouds, rain and more chances for thunderstorms.

Horrifying screams of young woman as towering attacker tries to kidnap her in broad daylight
Disturbing video footage shows a young woman screaming in terror as a brutish attacker wrestles her to the ground after following her onto a New York City subway platform in broad daylight, police said. The frightening clip captured the assailant, dressed in all white, holding the victim against her will as a group of passengers looked on at the Norwood Avenue station in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn on Sunday morning. Shouts of 'Let her go!' could be heard as the suspect gripped the woman from behind while she continued to shriek hysterically, the video showed. After concerned witnesses stepped in and the victim managed to break free, the suspect then lunged at the woman before toppling her to the ground. That's when a group of good Samaritans surrounded the suspect, allowing the woman to scramble to her feet and run away missing one of her shoes. Several men appeared to hold the man down and pummel him before eventually backing away, the video showed. The accused attacker, Fredrick Marshall, 42, of Queens, was arrested and charged with harassment, assault and criminal weapons possession for having a knife and a 'blackjack' baton, the NYPD said. The unidentified victim, 20, suffered minor injuries to her stomach and arms, police said. Emergency responders treated her at the scene. It's unclear if the victim knew her attacker. Police said the two got into a verbal dispute after the suspect followed her onto the train platform. Footage of the attack spread on social media, racking up more than a million views - and loads of praise for the witnesses who intervened. 'Great job men! Finally some street justice,' one commenter wrote on Instagram. 'Exactly what I like to see, men standing up for women,' another replied. 'Her screams were pure fear,' a third wrote. There have been 1,051 transit-related crimes across New York City this year through June 29 - a 3 percent decrease from the same period in 2024, NYPD data shows.

APX Lending Secures $20M Funding Amid 'Rising Demand' for Crypto-Backed Loans in Canada
Crypto-backed loan provider APX Lending has secured a $20 million accordion facility from Cypress Hills, a private credit investment firm. An accordion facility is a provision that allows a borrower to increase their borrowing without renegotiating the entire agreement. In effect, it expands like an accordion. Toronto-based APX, which offers lending with digital assets as collateral, plans to use the facility to accelerate its expansion in Canada to meet rising demands for crypto-backed loans, according to an emailed announcement shared with CoinDesk on Friday. 'This accordion facility from Cypress Hills marks a major step forward in our mission to make crypto-backed loans transparent, secure, and accessible to Canadians," founder and CEO Andrei Poliakov said in the announcement. APX received exemptive relief from the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) at the start of this month, exempting it from certain registration and prospectus requirements, which the firm said "would address investor concerns in [a] retail context." The exemption was granted "based on the particular facts and circumstances of the application with the objective of fostering innovative businesses in Canada," according to a note on the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) website. Digital asset lending has a somewhat chequered history, with various lenders collapsing amid the onset of the crypto winter in 2022. However, the now more favorable regulatory attitude to crypto in the U.S. could help transform it into a vibrant and competitive market, according to another crypto lender Ledn's co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo. Di Bartolomeo predicted that Washington's friendlier approach to crypto would help rates fall, the effect of which would be evident beyond the U.S. 'Gold in a vault in Switzerland is not gold in a vault in Venezuela, but bitcoin in Colombia is bitcoin in Madrid is bitcoin anywhere in the world," he told CoinDesk in a recent interview. Andrei Poliakov will be speaking at CoinDesk's Consensus 2025 in Toronto on May 14-15. Sign in to access your portfolio
