Where is august hall in san francisco

Rupert Murdoch might have ended his marriage with Jerry Hall via text message, it has been claimed.

Sources close to the couple said Miss Hall, 65, was ‘shocked’ by the sudden end to their six years together last week.

Friends, however, cited their differing lifestyles and the fact she smokes.

Rumours suggest the billionaire delivered his verdict to Miss Hall electronically, by text or an email. A source said: ‘What is clear is that he did the dumping.’

Representatives for Murdoch refused to comment on the claims last night.

The media mogul, 91, met the model after his split from Wendi Deng, 53, his third wife, in 2013. Miss Hall’s representatives were also contacted for comment.

The couple went public at the Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham in London in October 2015 where he was photographed kissing her on the cheek as she beamed with happiness.

They made their first red carpet appearance together at the Golden Globes the following year and friends said at the time: ‘Rupert couldn’t be happier.. He’s not acting like some dotty old man who’s in love with a teenager. He just seems really, really happy. It’s a wonderful thing.’

Miss Hall moved out of the £13million home in Richmond, south-west London, where she had lived since her split with Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger.

Mr Murdoch then announced their engagement on Twitter on March 4, 2016, writing: ‘No more tweets for ten days or ever! Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.’ True to his word, he has not tweeted since.

The couple were last seen together in public in London in August last year, when they were pictured arriving separately for a dinner but are understood to have left together.

Friends said Miss Hall, the long-legged Texan extrovert, brought more ‘balance’ to her husband’s life after decades of focus on his businesses.

But since the announcement that they are divorcing, those closest to them have been trying to look for signs of cracks in the relationship.

One of those present at Mr Murdoch’s summer party at the Serpentine Gallery in London last Monday was surprised no to see Miss Hall by his side.

They said: ‘I did think it was odd that she wasn’t there. She’s a social butterfly and would generally be at these sort of functions.

‘I also noticed that none of her side of the family was there, nor her friends.’

The chancellor and dean of the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, California, reacted to the Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade on Friday by claiming that the ruling effectively “turns back the clock” to “when women did not have the right to vote” and were “treated as property,” adding, “I tremble for my granddaughters.”

“Today’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade is devastating on many levels,” Dean David Faigman proclaimed in an open letter, before claiming that women not being able to as easily kill their unborn children means the clock has been turned back to another century.

“This decision turns back the clock not just to 1973, but to a century when women did not have the right to vote and were, largely, treated as property,” Faigman wrote. “I tremble for my granddaughters.”

The dean then argued that “those with religious objections to abortion do not have the right to impose them on others,” before calling into question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.

“As a dean and professor of constitutional law, this opinion — and, indeed, the composition of the Court itself, which is a product of political gerrymandering — raises basic questions regarding the legitimacy of the Court itself,” Faigman said.

On Friday, the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade , holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion and returning the issue of abortion laws and regulations to state legislatures.

“On the eve of Pride weekend, Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion in Dobbs underscores the breadth of the potential challenges to other fundamental and hard-won rights, including marriage equality,” Faigman lamented in his letter.

Faigman concluded by pledging to use his role as the leader of one of California’s most prestigious law schools to help prepare future lawyers and policymakers to “grapple with the outcome of today’s decision.”

“UC Hastings is committed more than ever to its core mission to prepare diverse students to advance the rule of law and pursue justice,” he wrote. “Our students are the future lawyers and policymakers who will need to grapple with the outcome of today’s decision.”

Faigman is just one of the many members of academia having a public meltdown over the Supreme Court’s life-saving decision.

After the ruling, college and university professors took to social media, where they issued unhinged diatribes in response to the reality that not as many killings will transpire in a post-Roe America.

UPDATED | Wildfires continued to burn in Northern California Friday, killing at least 31 people and destroying over 128,000 acres of land. The wildfires have burned across California’s famed wine country since Sunday and spread to residential homes, forcing over 20,000 Californians to evacuate the area.

There are reportedly 9 active fires in the region as of Friday with more than 128,000 acres of land burned—about eight times the size of Manhattan.

Officials don’t know what sparked the blaze, but flames have spread due to 50 to 60 mile-per-hour winds and extremely dry conditions across the northern region. The Federal Emergency Management Agency approved grants for additional staff and firefighting equipment Tuesday after President Donald Trump issued a disaster declaration for the wildfires.

“The loss of homes and burning of precious land is heartbreaking, but the loss of life is truly devastating,” said White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Napa and Sonoma counties have been devastated by the Tubbs fire, which has burned at least 34,000 acres. In eastern Napa, the Atlas Peak fire has burned across 43,000 acres with only 7 percent successfully contained. The Redwood Complex fire in Redwood Valley spread across 34,000 acres with 10 percent containment reported. More evacuations have been ordered across Northern California as the wildfires spread.

Napa Valley roads are shut down as officials work to contain the wildfires, which the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said the fires “spread very quickly” since beginning Sunday night. There are reportedly 285 people are missing, as of Thursday morning.

California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency Monday in Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Nevada, Orange, Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties. In a statement, Brown said the wildfires “have damaged critical infrastructure, threatened thousands of homes and caused the evacuation of residents.”

At least 1,500 structures have been destroyed by the wildfires. The LA Times reported the worst California fire in recent history occurred in 2003 and destroyed 2,800 homes. That fire also took place in October, when weather conditions are primed for high winds and dry land that acts as “a fuse for sparks.”

California faces about 5,400 wildfires each year, with tens of thousands of acres destroyed by the flames, but the simultaneous wildfires have proved challenging to battle. Smoke from the fires spread to San Francisco about 60 miles south of the wildfires, prompting a smoke advisory in the region. NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the extensive smoke from the fires.

Napa’s wine region is expecting to be devastated by the fires, as Newsweek reported . As of Thursday, the California fires had not significantly registered on the U.S. Drought Monitor.
