By JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer/ BNC Contributor NEW YORK (AP) — Kim Kardashian West is selling a stake in her beauty brand for $200 million, in a deal that values the TV reality stars three-year-old business at $1 billion.

The nurse on duty called to inform me that my mom had stopped breathing and had slipped into a coma.
Not only did I have a severe case of pneumonia when I entered ICU, my liver and kidneys also needed to be protected from the virus; my heart rate was through the roof; my heart condition worsened and I was headed to the point of potential heart failure; my blood pressure was high; I had a sharp pain in my right side; I continued to have heavy diarrhea episodes; and I still had a loss of appetite.
From the very beginning, I had to rely on my faith in God, as I continued to deal with the mental anguish of being in this Coronavirus-specific ICU area, particularly knowing that there were people around with breathing issues and hearing machines go off all day and night, and as I regularly looked at the news and read reports showing the number of people dying on a daily basis as a result of the virus.
Because I didn’t have any respiratory issues, just digestive issues, it caused the doctors to develop a treatment plan for me that was different than other patients they had been treating prior to my arrival to the hospital.
Per Dr. Varon, my case taught them that they must use high dose blood thinners on every Coronavirus patient admitted to the hospital.

Four senior leaders of the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, were among the defendants in a trial that languished in India's sluggish legal system for almost 28 years. Seventeen of the 49 accused died of natural causes during the trial. The four BJP leaders were accused of making inflammatory speeches that incited tens of thousands of […]

Emotions ran high Friday as two black suspects appeared in a South African court over the murder of a white farmer which has sparked racial tensions.
A barbed wire fence ringed the court house in the central town of Senekal and police and a water cannon were deployed as opposing groups of white farmers and black activists gathered near the site.
Around 2,000 supporters of the radical leftist Economic Freedom Fighters gathered for eight hours under scorching heat for a protest.
Crime in this sleepy but rich farming area, 300 kilometres (180 miles) south of Johannesburg, is centred mainly around stock theft, which farmers say is rampant. Murders are relatively rare.
But on October 2, the body of 22-year-old farm manager Brendin Horner was found. He had been strangled and tied to a fence at a farm in Paul Roux near Senekal.
A silver cross with his name engraved on it has been erected at the spot where the body was discovered.
- Unrest -
The killing of white farmers is a highly emotive issue in South Africa. Some conservative groups claim that farmers are victims of a genocide and the government is not doing enough to protect them.
\"This young man is paying with his life, he is going to help us solve the (crime) problem,\" Horner's employer Gilly Scheeper, 58, said in reference to the attention brought to the case.
Scheeper has hired private investigators to run a parallel probe into the death \"because police here are corrupt\".
The motive for the murder has not been established, but a police officer who is investigating the case said the farmer's wallet went missing after the attack.
A dozen policemen guarded the court house on Friday, dressed in bulletproof jackets and armed with assault rifles. Elsewhere around the court's precincts, police patrolled in cars and from a helicopter.
The two suspects -- Sekwetja Mahlamba, 32 and Sekolo Mlatlaletsa, 44 -- wore grey jerseys as they appeared for their bail hearing.
One of them has previously been arrested 16 times and convicted four times for stock theft and housebreaking.
\"I don't think that they should get bail because of the seriousness of the offence,\" investigating police officer Gerhard Peter Myburgh told the court.
\"This incident has also caused unrest in Senekal to such an extent that there were people who tried to remove the suspects from court,\" said Myburgh.
- 'Acts of criminality' -
Whites, mainly farmers, stormed the court house and torched a police van when the suspects first appeared in court last week.
The alleged instigator of last week's court rioting, businessman Andre Pienaar, is in custody facing charges of public violence, attempted murder and incitement.
The suspected killers' bail hearing will continue on October 20.
