“I am not surprised at the outcome of this qualifying session because, in terms of pure performance, Saturday is always difficult for us and will continue to be so until the end of the season,” said Alonso. “Usually, on Sunday, things go better and our aim is always to get to the podium, as has happened in recent races.

From January 2020 to June 2020, Chicago-based researchers looked at domestic violence police reports from the Chicago Police Department and NowPow community resource database. Of the 77 community areas in Chicago, the order was associated with a decrease in domestic violence police report rates of 21.8 crimes per 100,000 individuals per month in each community area.
