Gwyneth Paltrow Joins Astronomer After CEO KissCam Scandal

In the wake of a viral moment that rocked the leadership of tech company Astronomer, the firm is taking an unexpected PR turn by bringing actress Gwyneth Paltrow onboard as a temporary spokesperson.

The move follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot, who were caught on a KissCam sharing an intimate embrace during a Coldplay concert — a moment made awkward by frontman Chris Martin, who joked, “Either they are having an affair, or they are just very shy.” The incident rapidly circulated on social media, leading to countless memes and speculation.

In a light-hearted video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin for 13 years appeared as the new face of the company. While steering clear of any mention of the controversy, she spoke enthusiastically about Astronomer’s mission in data workflow automation, suggesting the company is ready to shift focus back to business.

“We have been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,” said Paltrow. “We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers.”

Beloved Bonobo Max Passes Away at Columbus Zoo

Columbus, Ohio – The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is mourning the loss of Max, a beloved 9-year-old bonobo, who passed away on June 18 following an unexpected and complex medical condition.

Born on November 8, 2015, Max quickly became a favorite among staff and visitors alike due to his lively personality and deep social connections. He was known for his intelligence, curiosity, and the strong bonds he formed with both his bonobo family and the animal care team.

According to the Columbus Zoo’s official statement shared via Facebook on July 24, Max appeared healthy and active shortly before he was found unresponsive during a routine wellness check. Veterinary professionals acted swiftly, initiating intensive care and bringing in external specialists to provide continuous support over six days. Sadly, despite their efforts, Max did not recover.

A necropsy revealed that Max suffered from gastric ulcers and signs of heat-related illness. While the sequence of events remains unclear, zoo veterinarians believe the ulcers may have led to his rapid health decline. The zoo emphasized that Max had access to proper care, including water and shaded areas, to ensure his comfort.

Max was a vital member of the zoo’s bonobo troop, a group that reflects the zoo’s ongoing commitment to the conservation of endangered great apes. Bonobos, sharing over 98% of their DNA with humans, have been under the zoo’s care since 1990. The average life expectancy of a male bonobo in managed care is approximately 31 years.

Although Max’s life was cut short, his impact on the Columbus Zoo and its visitors remains profound. His legacy lives on through the continued conservation work and the remaining 13 bonobos who call the zoo home.

“Max was deeply loved and will never be forgotten,” the zoo shared. “His spirit brought joy and connection to everyone around him.”

Somali Region’s Oil Wealth Sparks Tensions as Mustaf Omar Faces Accusations of Siding with Addis Ababa
The discovery of vast oil reserves in Ethiopia's Somali Region has ignited fierce political tensions, with regional President Mustaf Omar now facing accusations of aligning too closely with federal authorities in Addis Ababa.

BREAKING NEWS: Somali Region’s Oil Wealth Sparks Tensions as Mustaf Omar Faces Accusations of Siding with Addis Ababa

Dalmar TV Newsroom | July 26, 2025

The Somali Regional State (SRS) of Ethiopia, home to the resource-rich Ogaden Basin, is at the heart of growing controversy over the control and benefits of its vast oil and natural gas reserves. Despite containing over 7 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas and potentially hundreds of millions of barrels of oil, local communities accuse regional President Mustaf Mohamed Omar (Cagjar) of prioritizing the federal government’s interests over those of the Somali people.

Mustaf’s Role Under Scrutiny

Since assuming office in 2018, Mustaf has been praised for bringing stability after years of conflict. However, opposition voices accuse him of supporting the federal government’s opaque plans to exploit the region’s resources while dividing Somali communities.

Mustaf’s critics claim, “He is helping the regime lure local leaders with false promises to legitimize oil projects that will leave ordinary Somalis empty-handed.” A spokesperson from the Somali diaspora added, “Mustaf’s actions risk splitting the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and undermining our struggle for sovereignty and fair resource control.”

Voices from the Frontlines

An ONLF representative told Dalmar TV,
“The federal government and its regional collaborators are selling out our land and resources. This so-called peace is being used as a cover for resource plunder.”

Local community elder Abdirahman Yusuf said,
“We have seen no benefits from decades of drilling. Instead, we lose our homes, our farms, and our future while outsiders reap the profits.”

The Resource Divide

Despite the massive reserves, the Somali people receive less than 2% of revenues, with most oil jobs given to workers from Ethiopia’s central highlands. The Chinese firm Poly-GCL, expelled in 2022, reportedly owes $1.7 million in unpaid community fees, with no environmental assessments conducted in the Ogaden Basin.

Residents in Qorahay and Shabelle zones describe displacement and land destruction, while company compounds enjoy uninterrupted power and water—highlighting the stark inequality in the region.

A Critical Moment for Mustaf and the Somali Region

Analysts warn that unless Mustaf Mohamed Omar demands transparency, fair revenue sharing, and meaningful community consultation, the region’s fragile peace risks collapse. The Ogaden Basin holds the potential to generate billions annually—but only if the Somali people are no longer sidelined.

Former Olentangy Berlin Wrestling Coach Resigns

Former wrestling coach at Olentangy Berlin High School has resigned after school officials investigated inappropriate text messages he sent to an 18-year-old former student-athlete.

James “Jamie” Kasser, 62, a longtime coach in Delaware and Union counties, stepped down from his role following a May investigation into messages described as sexually suggestive. According to records obtained through a public records request, the Olentangy Local School District was alerted in May about possible policy violations.

In a July 22 statement, the district confirmed it had informed the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, child protective services, and the Ohio State Board of Education’s Office for Professional Conduct about the matter.

Emails obtained show a parent previously a friend of Kasser, expressing deep disappointment. “I respected him for how he coached young women… I now believe he may be a predator,” the parent wrote.

Screenshots of Kasser’s messages beginning in February, reportedly shifted tone by April. Messages included flirtatious language such as “Sending naked hugs and kisses your way,” and “If I was younger, I would have snatched you up.”

In a July 23 interview, Kasser claimed his intentions were supportive and that he believed the student was experiencing emotional distress. “I am sure my word choice could have been better, but my intentions were pure,” he said.

A May sexual battery investigation by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office was closed with no charges filed. The student said Kasser had been texting her and her teammates for years, and while the messages felt “weird,” she initially brushed them off.

Kasser officially resigned on May 23, 2025, and is no longer affiliated with the district.

In response, Olentangy Berlin Principal Ben Jagger announced the hiring of a new coach who will continue to foster a safe and empowering environment for female athletes. The district emphasized its commitment to protecting students and upholding high ethical standards.

Kasser was once celebrated for his coaching career, even earning a gold medal in the 2013 Veterans World Championships. Many in the community expressed shock and disappointment, including Orange Township trustee Lisa Knapp, who said, “He was a very good coach to my kids. It’s heartbreaking.”

3 Lorain Police Officers Shot in Suspected Ambush

Lorain, Ohio– In a tragic ambush on Wednesday afternoon, three Lorain Police Department officers were shot, with two suffering serious injuries. Authorities confirm the officers were targeted in a planned attack involving high-powered weaponry.

According to officials, the suspect—described as a 28-year-old male—was lying in wait near River Bend Drive, an isolated area that dead-ends off Colorado Avenue. Officers Phillip Wagner and Peter Gale were having lunch in their patrol vehicles when the gunman opened fire.

The suspect reportedly had an “arsenal of weapons” and used a high-powered rifle to initiate the assault. Officer Wagner and Officer Brent Payne were critically injured and were airlifted to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. Officer Gale sustained a hand injury and was treated at Mercy Health – Lorain Hospital.

Police returned fire, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. It remains unclear if he was killed by law enforcement or took his own life. Authorities executed a search warrant at the suspect’s home on Lakeview Boulevard shortly after the incident.

Due to the scope of the attack, the Elyria Police Department is leading the investigation, with support from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Multiple agencies, including the Elyria Fire Department, Avon Police, and Cleveland Police, provided critical assistance during the emergency response.

Lorain Mayor Jack Bradley expressed gratitude for the rapid support from state and federal leaders, including Governor Mike DeWine and Senator Jon Husted. “It is a tragic day for Lorain, but we are a strong city and we will move forward,” he said.

Governor DeWine described the incident as a “targeted attack on law enforcement,” adding that it underscores the risks officers face daily.

Lorain city offices will remain closed Thursday and Friday to allow the community and department to recover.

President Trump discusses the new U.S.-Japan trade deal at the White House, calling it a historic economic win for American industries ahead of rising global tariffs.

President Donald Trump Announces Massive U.S.-Japan Trade Deal

President Donald Trump has confirmed a significant trade agreement with Japan, avoiding the previously threatened 24% tariff hike by securing a lower 15% rate. Trump made the announcement on July 22 through a post on Truth Social and during a White House gathering with Republican lawmakers.

“This is a massive deal, possibly the largest in history between the United States and Japan,” Trump said, praising the agreement as a major win for American workers and industries. The agreement comes just days ahead of the August 1 deadline, when higher tariffs are set to impact global trade.

While exact details of the deal remain undisclosed, Trump revealed that Japan will invest $550 billion into the U.S., with America expected to receive 90% of the profits. Additionally, Japan has agreed to ease restrictions on imports of U.S. products including automobiles, rice, and other key agricultural exports.

Japan, currently the fourth-largest trading partner of the U.S., joins a growing list of countries with which the Trump administration has struck bilateral trade deals. These include recent agreements with the Philippines, United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba confirmed early Wednesday from Tokyo that his government had received initial reports from negotiators in Washington, though he refrained from offering public comment on the specifics of the agreement.

Trump had previously introduced a universal 10% tariff back in April, delaying broader trade sanctions to allow room for negotiation. With the global tariff increase on the horizon, this Japan deal is seen as a strategic move to stabilize economic ties and secure American trade interests.

As U.S. trade policy continues to evolve, this landmark agreement marks a significant development in the country’s economic strategy.

Former Ohio State Wrestling Star Sammy Sasso Arrested in Pennsylvania on Gun and Drug Charges

Former Ohio State wrestling star and current Lehigh University coach Sammy Sasso was arrested in Pennsylvania on July 16, 2025, after authorities discovered loaded firearms and suspected marijuana products during a traffic stop.

According to the affidavit, Sasso, 25, was pulled over by Nazareth Borough Police for driving a vehicle with expired registration. Upon questioning, Sasso admitted to having a firearm in the driver’s side door. He did not have a valid concealed carry permit.

Further inspection led officers to detect the scent of marijuana and spot dispensary-labeled packaging. A loaded Beretta .40 caliber handgun was recovered from the door compartment. Sasso confirmed he did not possess a Pennsylvania medical marijuana card.

With his consent, police searched the vehicle and found two THC vape cartridges and a container with marijuana residue. Upon checking the trunk, officers located a red Ohio State backpack. After initially refusing consent to search it, Sasso reportedly admitted it contained additional firearms.

A search warrant was obtained, and three more semi-automatic handguns were recovered. Sasso now faces multiple charges, including:

  • Four counts of unlawful firearm possession
  • One count of controlled substance possession
  • One count of possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Vehicle code violation for expired registration

His preliminary court hearing is scheduled for July 30, 2025.

This legal incident comes just months after Sasso began his coaching career at Lehigh University. He retired from competitive wrestling in early 2025 after recovering from a near-fatal shooting in Columbus in 2023. Sasso was attacked during an attempted carjacking near Ohio State, resulting in multiple surgeries and a long recovery.

Despite the setback, he returned to the sport in late 2024 before retiring. Sasso ended his Buckeye career as a two-time Big Ten Champion and four-time All-American, one of the most decorated wrestlers in Ohio State history.

Air Quality Alert Issued for Central Ohio for July 23 Due to Elevated Ozone Levels

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) has announced an air quality alert for July 23, warning residents in Franklin, Licking, Delaware, and Fairfield counties of potentially unhealthy ozone pollution levels for sensitive individuals.

According to MORPC’s statement released on July 22, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach 101, placing it in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category. The air quality scale, which runs from 0 to 500, uses this number to indicate elevated pollution levels.

The increase in ozone pollution is attributed to a ridge of high pressure that will reduce atmospheric mixing. Coupled with sunny skies, high temperatures in the 90s, and lingering wildfire smoke, these conditions are expected to intensify ozone formation and particle pollution across the Central Ohio region.

MORPC advises sensitive populations including children, the elderly, and individuals with asthma or chronic respiratory conditions like COPD to minimize outdoor exposure, especially during morning hours.
