This article is part of our series  Battle of the Brands , in which we compare category-leading products to their counterparts to determine which are actually worth your money. For the last few years, Samsung has dominated the foldable phone market in the US because, well, it's been the only real choice. Sure, Motorola has given it some competition with its Razr lineup — and more recently the Razr+ has one-upped Samsung — but when it comes to the foldable phones that open and close like a book while looking more like a tablet, it's been all Samsung. But with the release of the Google Pixel Fold, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 has some serious competition for the title of best foldable phone. It may appear as if they're similar phones made by different companies, but there are some fundamental differences between the two devices that may convince you one of them is a better fit than the other for your needs.

Thousands gathered to enjoy the annual Maury County Sheriff's Rodeo at Maury County Park Arena on Friday and Saturday to watch world class cowboys rope and ride. Families eagerly watched the competitions with excitement as some of the most high-ranking cowboys in the world roped calves, rode bucking broncos and tried to stay on an angry bull for eight seconds. Cowgirls also showed their roping and riding skills, especially during the barrel racing competition. Trevor and Haverly Pennington of Columbia have been attending the rodeo for 15 years straight with their three children. "The sheriff puts on a great rodeo. It's a wonderful community event," Trevor Pennington said. "I love how family-friendly it is," Haverly said. Children lined up to ride the mechanical bull, play in the Kids Zone and eat sweet treats, like snow cones from Kona Ice food truck. A highlight for children under 12 years old was the calf scramble in which a herd of children chased a calf

What's Next For Putin? Listen to Tom Friedman discuss his thoughts on the attempted coup and the danger of disorder. The events playing out in Russia feel like the trailer for the next James Bond movie: Vladimir Putin's ex-chef/ex-cyberhacker/recent mercenary army leader, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, goes rogue. Prigozhin, a character straight out of "Dr. No," leads a convoy of ex-convicts and soldiers of fortune on a madcap dash to seize the Russian capital, shooting down a few Russian military helicopters along the way. They meet so little resistance that the internet is full of pictures of his mercenaries waiting patiently in line to buy coffee: "Hey, could you put a lid on that? I don't want it to spill on my tank!" But then, just as suddenly, as Prigozhin's men got within 120 miles of Moscow, he apparently caught wind that his convoy on the open highway would be sitting ducks to a determined air attack. So Prigozhin opted for a plea bargain, arranged b
