Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.
Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack "insignificantly damaged" the outsides of two buildings in the Moscow City district. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.
No flights went into or out of the Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed for any aircraft. Those restrictions have since been lifted.
Moscow authorities have also closed a street for traffic near the site of the crash in the Moscow City area.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who rarely if ever take responsibility for attacks on Russian soil.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside Moscow on Friday. Two more drones struck the Russian capital on Monday, one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry's headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.
In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and a fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court's ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
"The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties," Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be "reviewing the judge's opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law."
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge's 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
"As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!" he said in an email.
"I'm relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS' librarians has lifted," he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is "thrilled" about the decision. She said enforcing this law "is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can."
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state's 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library's decision to move children's books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas' restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

Welcome home, Denny. Anything interesting happen lately?
Denny Hamlin, the Manchester High School graduate who developed his prodigious stock car racing skills on Virginia’s short tracks, arrived at Richmond Raceway as an indisputable NASCAR superstar and one of the favorites to win Sunday’s Cook Out 400 Cup Series race.
He also arrived as the driver regarded by some as the bad guy in NASCAR’s latest on-track controversy – the previous Sunday’s late-race incident with his friend and fellow driver, Kyle Larson.
It was the moment that decided the race. Entering a corner, Hamlin drove his Toyota inside Larson’s race-leading Chevrolet. Hamlin sidled up to Larson’s door. And everything changed.
Larson lost traction, bounced off Pocono Raceway’s outside wall. He limped home in 20th place and angry. Hamlin took the lead and went on to record his 50th career Cup victory.
People are also reading…
Did the two cars touch sides? The replays suggested they did. Hamlin maintained after the race that they had not made contact. On his “Actions Detrimental” podcast on Monday he doubled down on that assertion.
Larson, who was vocal about his anger after the race, said the Monday podcast deepened his ire, that Hamlin “said a handful of things that made it even more frustrating throughout the week.”
Hamlin pleaded his case again on Wednesday in a phone conversation with The Times-Dispatch, but wasn’t quite so absolute in his assessment.
“The right side of my car didn’t have a mark on it,” he said. “I ran my hand along the side of my car. Not a dent, not a single scratch. Through my lens, we didn’t touch at all.
“If there was contact or wasn’t contact, if we touched or didn’t touch, we were racing for a win,” he said. “People do crazy things to win, but this wasn’t crazy. I saw this as my chance to win the race…. I had to make a split-second decision.”
In the present-day Cup Series, he said, with evenly matched cars and rules designed to limit the advantage of one driver over another, making a pass is extremely difficult. Over the years, he has come out on the short end of many hard-racing confrontations, he said.
“Nine out of 10 times,” he said, “aggression wins. … The stat column doesn’t care how it happens.”
That was the way things stood Saturday at the Richmond track, just a few miles from where Hamlin lived growing up. Hamlin met with the media and it was all about Pocono. Not long after, those same reporters peppered Larson with questions about the incident.
Hamlin, asked if he would do anything different if he had that moment back again, said it would be hard to change his decision to drive aggressively. He said he had extra motivation – racking up his milestone 50th Cup Series win, recording his track-record seventh victory at Pocono, and scoring Toyota’s 600th win overall in NASCAR’s three national series.
“You’re not going to find two guys that are the nice guys at the end of these races anymore,” Hamlin said. “One has to take it to the next level to want it. And then if you have two guys that really want it… I’m adamant, that’s when the race fans win. That’s when they get to see the action and the passion they want to see.”
Larson insisted Hamlin’s aggressive move wasn’t his only chance to win, and that Hamlin was being disingenuous in claiming that Larson had room to get through the corner, given the aerodynamic behavior of the cars.
“It’s not something you should be like, ‘Ah, that’s just part of it. That’s just racing. I left him a lane.’ …It’s really less than a lane, because with the air it’s just shoving your car right,” Larson said. “And I would say Pocono wasn’t even really the air. I didn’t really feel the air. He ran into me before I got to the exit, and I had no option but to hit the wall.”
Asked if the two drivers had spoken with each other since Pocono, Hamlin said, “We’ve communicated. I thought it went good.” He declined to divulge what either of them said.
Larson, likewise, gave no details about the exchange between the two of them. He said their communication was limited to some back-and-forth texting the night before. He said he felt no need for a face-to-face conversation because “we’d just agree to disagree.”
Some other drivers, when asked about the Pocono incident, were reluctant to give Hamlin much slack.
Ross Chastain, who has his own reputation for aggressive driving, earlier this season provoked Hamlin to the point that Hamlin forced Chastain’s car into the track wall. Hamlin admitted on his podcast that the on-track revenge had been deliberate.
Chastain said Larson could have backed off earlier at Pocono. For a driver in Larson’s predicament, “it’s either lift or crash,” he said.
“And I don’t mean to put the blame on the five (Larson’s car number). I’d put 1% on the 5 and 99 on the other guy.”
How about a driver who, unlike Chastain, has a collaborative relationship with Hamlin?
Bubba Wallace drives for a team co-owned by Hamlin. Asked if his boss had made a clean move at Pocono, Wallace didn’t hesitate.
“Nah,” he said, “it wasn’t clean. There was contact for sure. As much as he is riding on that fence that he didn’t touch him, there was contact.”
Hamlin and Larson will be among the favorites Sunday on the ¾-mile D-shaped track. Hamlin, who will start third, has won four Cup Series races at his home track. Larson, who will start 14th, has won twice there, including the track’s most recent race in April.
Suppose those two find themselves fender-to-fender again as they near the finish of the Richmond 400-lapper. Should Hamlin be concerned that Larson is itching to serve up revenge on the Cook Out grill?
“You can’t race that way, worrying all the time about who has a grudge,” Hamlin said.
He said he doesn’t expect a particularly warm welcome from the hometown fans. Some of his confrontations over the years have been with NASCAR’s more popular drivers. He is used to hearing boos when he is introduced before a race.
“I don’t think anyone likes to be disliked,” he said. “I think that ship has sailed.
“Being the fan favorite doesn’t win you any trophies either.” | https://richmond.com/sports/professional/hallman-debate-over-pocono-dust-up-rolls-into-richmond-for-hamlin-larson/article_f756c6ba-2e58-11ee-9221-cb25ba67de3e.html | 2023-07-30T08:39:15 | 1 | https://richmond.com/sports/professional/hallman-debate-over-pocono-dust-up-rolls-into-richmond-for-hamlin-larson/article_f756c6ba-2e58-11ee-9221-cb25ba67de3e.html |

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

Perspective — politicians work hard to sell their perspectives to voters. Sometimes, they find a narrow focus helps.
For example, Gov. Tate Reeves has chosen lately to use a narrow focus to tout Mississippi’s economic progress.
“Mississippians are learning more and earning more,” he said in touting the state’s 17% per capita personal income gain since 2018. “It seems like every week there is more good news coming out about Mississippi. This is just one more example of the incredible momentum our state has.”
A broader focus shows every state experiencing similar “incredible momentum.” All achieved double-digit personal income growth during that period. The national average increase was 16% as COVID payments, tight labor markets and inflation bumped up income across the nation.
Significantly, Mississippi held on to the bottom behind West Virginia with the nation’s lowest average personal income.
“We made it a priority to increase wages,” the governor touted.
Mississippi did make gains. Average wages were up 16.5% from 2019 to 2022. But, as with personal income, every state enjoyed double-digit wage growth. The national average increase was 18.1% as tight labor markets and inflation bumped up wages across the nation.
Again, Mississippi held the bottom with the lowest average annual wages behind West Virginia.
Gov. Reeves also touted the state’s “strong economic growth.”
The state economy has grown. But last week Mississippi was not one of the states that axios.com highlighted with strong gains in manufacturing from January 2019 to May 2023. Manpower reports published by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security show manufacturing jobs increased from 146,200 in January 2019 to 147,900 in May 2023, a 1.1% increase over that three-and-a-quarter-year span.
Also, as I wrote recently, the wealth boom sweeping over the South skipped over Mississippi.
Finally, the governor has touted the state’s record-low unemployment rate.
“This is a tremendous victory for every business, every community and every Mississippian across our state,” he said.
Yes, the unemployment rate is down to 3.3%. But a look at MDES labor force reports show that it was not because more people got jobs. In fact, around 5,000 fewer people were employed than in 2019. The unemployment rate change resulted from over 20,000 individuals disappearing from the labor force and the unemployment rolls — not exactly a win.
Total employment was down around 5,000 over that same period. And the state’s labor participation rate of 54.5% in June remained the nation’s lowest, behind West Virginia.
The governor’s facts have been correct, but his narrow focus leaves out a lot.
“Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side.” – Proverbs 18:17 (TLB).

Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.
Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack "insignificantly damaged" the outsides of two buildings in the Moscow City district. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.
No flights went into or out of the Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed for any aircraft. Those restrictions have since been lifted.
Moscow authorities have also closed a street for traffic near the site of the crash in the Moscow City area.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who rarely if ever take responsibility for attacks on Russian soil.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside Moscow on Friday. Two more drones struck the Russian capital on Monday, one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry's headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.
In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and a fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.

MOSCOW — At least nine people — including three children — have died after high winds tore through central Russia, emergency services and a local official reported Sunday.
The strong winds caused a large number of trees to fall in the area, including where the group’s tents had been pitched on a stretch of wild beach, regional leader Yuri Zaitsev wrote on social media. He said that three children were among the dead.
Across the wider Volga Federal District, 76 people were injured in the storm, with thousands of households losing power, emergency services said. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/07/30/russia-storm-tourist-deaths-camping-children/36c366aa-2eb3-11ee-85dd-5c3c97d6acda_story.html | 2023-07-30T08:44:03 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/07/30/russia-storm-tourist-deaths-camping-children/36c366aa-2eb3-11ee-85dd-5c3c97d6acda_story.html |

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court's ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
"The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties," Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be "reviewing the judge's opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law."
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge's 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
"As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!" he said in an email.
"I'm relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS' librarians has lifted," he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is "thrilled" about the decision. She said enforcing this law "is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can."
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state's 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library's decision to move children's books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas' restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

A win will put Australia into the knockout round for the fifth consecutive time. A shocking 3-2 loss to Nigeria dropped Australia to third in Group B, behind Nigeria and Canada, and a loss in the last group game would be devastating for the co-hosts.
Kerr is Australia’s all-time leading scorer with 63 goals in 121 games.
“I’m definitely going to be available,” Kerr said, “but how we decide to use that is not to be given to the opposition.”
The Australians had lost only one of their previous 11 matches before the Nigeria game, but the Matildas have been hampered by injuries beyond Kerr; Manchester City forward Mary Fowler missed the Nigeria match with a concussion sustained at practice.
Canada opened the tournament with a scoreless draw against Nigeria, followed by a 2-1 win over Ireland.
JAPAN-SPAIN
Japan and Spain square off in the Group C decider that pits two tournament heavyweights against each other in a Monday match b etween serious tournament contenders.
Both teams are undefeated headed into the match in Wellington, where the top spot in the group will be decided. Spain has rolled to a 3-0 win over Costa Rica and a 5-0 rout of Zambia, while Japan has logged a 5-0 win over Zambia and a 2-0 win over Costa Rica.
Spain has a one-goal edge in the tiebreaker headed into the showdown.
“They’re very good, and I respect the team very much,” Japanese defender Moeki Minami said of Spain. “In Europe, they play in a similar style to as a Japan team. Therefore, having a similar type of performance, I think we will have a very interesting match.”
Japan, winners of the 2011 World Cup, has won five of its six previous games. The last three wins have been by a combined 12-0 score.
Spain has recorded eight consecutive wins since it dropped a 3-2 match to Australia in February. Spain has scored 27 goals in that span with seven clean sheets.
IRELAND-NIGERIA
Ireland’s first ever Women’s World Cup tournament will end after Monday’s match against Nigeria in Brisbane, Australia. The Nigerians, however, still have a shot at advancing out of Group B and into the knockout round.
Ireland was steady but not strong enough in a 1-0 loss to co-host Australia in the tournament opener, and then the Girls in Green scored first on Canada before falling 2-1 to lose their fifth game in six matches and slip out of contention.
“I think we’ve shown that we deserve to be here with the two performances that we’ve put in,” said Megan Connolly, who had an own goal in the loss to Canada. “As a team and as a nation, we wanted to come out with more, but I know we’ve made everyone proud and our goal doesn’t change: we want to come away with a win.”
Nigeria has four points from its first two group games — a scoreless draw against Canada followed by a shocking 3-2 upset over Australia. Nigeria can advance by avoiding defeat to Ireland; a loss would leave Nigeria dependent on the result of the match between Canada and Australia.
“In a lot of ways, it could be our hardest match,” Nigeria coach Randy Waldrum said. “I don’t think we’re expecting them to just lay down because they’re going home already. I expect us to get the best from them.”
Nigeria star striker Asisat Oshoala is available after a thigh injury kept her out of the starting 11 in the win over Australia, when she came off the bench and scored Nigeria’s winning goal. Waldrum would not specify how Oshoala will be used against Ireland.
“I think she’s doing much better. I think we did the right thing by managing her minutes,” he said. “We still may have to do a little bit of that in this match with Ireland. We will start to make some decisions on whether that’s at the front end or the back end of it.”
COSTA RICA-ZAMBIA
Costa Rica and Zambia would both like to get on the scoring board — and earn a Women’s World Cup victory — before departing the tournament following the Group C finale Monday in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The teams were eliminated with a match to spare. Zambia had a pair of blowout losses to Japan and Spain, while Costa Rica lost to the same two teams but my smaller margins. Zambia has given up 10 goals in two games, while Costa Rica has conceded five.
Neither team has scored in the tournament.
Costa Rica also appeared in the 2015 tournament, where it picked up two points, and has a shot at its first victory against Zambia. Costa Rica is ranked 41 places higher than Zambia in the FIFA world rankings.
“The desire is there, we have given everything,” Costa Rica coach Amelia Valverde said. “The team is clear in that we will try and get that victory. We are a better version of what we were.”

BRISBANE, Australia — Following two narrow losses that ended its chances of advancing to the knockout stage on debut at the Women’s World Cup, Ireland remains motivated to play for more than just a result against Nigeria on Monday night.
Ireland is yet to pick up a competition point despite pushing two Top 10 teams to the limit. In front of almost 76,000 people in the tournament opener, a second-half penalty was the difference in Ireland’s 1-0 loss to co-host Australia. Ireland struck first in its next match against Canada, but two unanswered goals from the Olympic champions left the Irish empty-handed once again.
“We can compete with the best, and I think we’ve proven that,” Agg said. “We’ve got so much talent, and it’s now just about making that next step as a team and fighting to win.”
The Irish squad is well aware of what’s at stake for the other three teams in Group B.
Nigeria, which opened with a 0-0 draw against Canada and then upset Australia 3-2, will advance to the knockout stage with a win or draw. A win for the Irish, however, would put the Super Falcons at risk of failing to make it out of the group stage and provide a potential opening for Australia and Canada.
“This game has a big impact on the follow up of the tournament for each group, so we feel the responsibility for that,” Ireland coach Vera Pauw said. “We have a huge responsibility to ourselves and FIFA to bring our best performance.”
Pauw’s squad made history by qualifying for its first ever Women’s World Cup when it edged Scotland 1-0 in a playoff last October. Just being a participant was never the only goal for the team.
“We want to show the world that while this may be our first tournament it won’t be our last,” defender Megan Connolly said. “We owe it to ourselves to put in a good performance and show the world that we deserve to be here and compete with the best teams.”
Ireland’s debut appearance also marks the nation’s first World Cup since its men’s team reached the round of 16 in 2002. The extended hiatus intensified the support the team received from Irish supporters in all parts of the world.
“The players have been taken back by the amount of Irish support,” Connolly said. “We want to keep doing them proud and show them what we’re made of. We want to come out of this tournament giving them something to really cheer about.”

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

Ye's account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, was unsuspended Saturday, more than six months after it was banned over a post showing an image of a swastika inside a Star of David.
Elon Musk has not yet publicly commented and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Twitter/X says Kanye West’s account is being 'turned back on.' It will be ineligible for a monetization and no ads will appear next to his posts, according to the company," New York Times technology reporter Ryan Mac tweeted. "This comes after he shared an image of a swastika a few months ago."
Musk said in a December post that Ye was suspended "for incitement to violence." The tweet was blocked by the platform for violating its rules.
That wasn't the first time Ye got in trouble over his posts. In October 2022, his account was restricted over antisemitic comments but he returned to the platform the following month.
Ye has not tweeted anything since his account was unsuspended. His last post is Dec. 1, 2022, and was seemingly a jab at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The buyers are not yet identified in public records. Their agent, Sharon Chen of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, said they were not immediately available for comment on whether the literary tie played any role in their purchase decision.
Carl Sandburg was about 34 in 1912 when he moved with his wife, Lillian, and daughter, Margaret, into an apartment on the house's second floor. While working as a reporter for the Chicago Day Book, Sandburg also was composing a poem called "Chicago" that would become inextricably linked with the city's image of itself. The poem was first published in Chicago-based Poetry magazine in March 1914.
In the poem, Sandburg described Chicago as “Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads,” imagery that has clung to the city’s self-image ever since.
In 1915, the Sandburgs moved to Maywood, where they bought a house. Carl went on to be awarded two Pulitzer Prizes, one for poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln, and in 1959 he spoke to the joint houses of Congress about Lincoln on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
As the place where Sandburg launched his career in poetry and created an indelible description of this city, the house ranks as one of the Chicago area’s most important literary landmarks, along with homes of such lights as Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sandra Cisneros and Nelson Algren, and the Lake Forest mansion that was home to the socialite who inspired the character Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby.”
In May, Sattell, who is a writer, said that while living in the house she felt "the influence of someone who was such a wonderful writer and had such a sense of humanity."
In 2013, 98 years after the Sandburgs moved out, the house was still a multi-flat residence. That year Sattell and Hunter bought it for $685,000.
They put it through a gut rehab and modernization inside, but using old photos, they restored the exterior to an approximation of its early 20th-century look. They removed metal siding and a concrete and metal porch and put up period-appropriate wood siding and a vintage-style porch.
"We kept the original front doors and the entryway (inside) and stairs," Sattell said in May, keeping it close to what it would have been when the Sandburgs passed through on their way upstairs.
In the conversion from multi-flat to single-family home, the Sandburgs' second-floor apartment became two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The front bedroom, Sattell said, was the apartment's living room and is most likely where Sandburg wrote.
The house went on the market May 16 and went under contract June 11. The sale closed July 28. | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/ravenswood-house-where-carl-sandburg-lived-sells | 2023-07-30T08:48:06 | 1 | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/ravenswood-house-where-carl-sandburg-lived-sells |
Morocco is on the board.
For the first time ever in a Women's World Cup, the Lionesses of Atlas scored thanks to a goal from Ibtissam Jraidi.
In the sixth minute of Morocco's second Group H game against South Korea on early Sunday morning, right back Hanane Aït El Haj delivered a cross into the box from the right flank that Jraidi connected to.
Jraidi had to sneak in the header to the bottom left corner despite needing to navigate from a tight angle as she made a diagonal run towards the right post.
Morocco is the 72nd-ranked nation in FIFA's ranking of the women's national teams whereas South Korea is No. 17.
Jraidi, who currently plays for Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, has 50 caps and 12 goals for Morocco.
The Lionesses of Atlas faced powerhouse Germany in their group opener, but lost 6-0 with two of them being own goals. They managed six shots with four hitting the target, but none went past goalie Merle Frohms. | https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/soccer/womens-world-cup/ibtissam-jraidi-heads-in-moroccos-first-ever-womens-world-cup-goal/530377/ | 2023-07-30T08:48:26 | 1 | https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/soccer/womens-world-cup/ibtissam-jraidi-heads-in-moroccos-first-ever-womens-world-cup-goal/530377/ |

Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

'Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever' as Kate Bush turns 65
If this weekend you encounter a group of people all dressed in red and attempting a synchronized choreography to Kate Bush's debut single from 1978, "Wuthering Heights," chances are it's not performance art or a religious cult, but an expression of love for the iconic British singer, who turns 65 on July 30.
Launched in 2016, "The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever," is an annual event held in cities around the world. From Melbourne to Dublin via Amsterdam and Cologne, to name but a few, people attempt to recreate the dance moves from one of the two music videos made for the song, along with Bush's costume of red dress and tights, accented with a black scarf around her waist.
A new audience
The fact that most of the people who take part in the event weren't even born when the song was released is testament to Bush's enduring appeal. That also got a huge boost last year, when her 1985 hit "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" landed back in the charts again, thanks to being used in a pivotal scene in Season 4 of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things." That led to a whole new generation discovering the legendary artist.
Breakout star and innovator
Kate Bush was just 19 years old when "Wuthering Heights," inspired by the Emily Bronte novel of the same name, was released and became an immediate smash hit. Despite Bush's eclectic musical style and eccentric aesthetics, and her fondness for lyrics based on obscure or esoteric subjects, she landed hit after hit through the 1980s and into the '90s, before taking a 12-year break to focus on her family.
Her innovative approach extended to technology, as she became the first musician to have a wireless headset microphone made for her. This allowed her to sing while also using her arms to dance — a technology that's now standard for many live performers.
Bush continues to release new work and has even played live in recent years. And in 2014, she became the first woman to have eight albums in the UK charts at the same time. She remains hugely influential for many other artists, with Icelandic singer Björk calling her "Mother" earlier this month in Interview magazine.
An earnest yet silly iconoclast
Björk has also spoken critically of the sexist way the mainstream music media tended to write about Bush in past decades, dismissing her as a "crazy witch" in an interview with NME. That ignorance may have come from an inability to accept the very qualities that have made Kate Bush so beloved by her fans: a certain iconoclasm and a fierce adherence to her own artistic vision — and the fact that, as one fan put it in a New York Times article about an annual tribute event in Philadelphia, "The tone of the show, like Kate's work, is a mix of deeply earnest and really, really silly."
That fusion of sincerity and lightheartedness also characterizes "The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever," as Kate Bush fans everywhere celebrate this enigmatic and innovative artist.

Niger coup: West African leaders to meet amid crisis
West African leaders will meet in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Sunday for an emergency summit on Niger, where a military coup took place earlier this week.
The heads of state of the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) could suspend Niger from its institutions, cut off the country from the regional central bank and financial market, and close borders.
General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the head of the powerful presidential guard, declared himself the leader of Niger on Friday.
The country's elected president Mohamed Bazoum has been held by the military for four days.
ECOWAS vows to defend democracy in region
"ECOWAS and the international community would do everything to defend democracy and ensure democratic governance continues to take firm root in the region," president of Nigeria and ECOWAS chairman, Bola Tinubu, said in a statement on Friday.
Niger is among the world's poorest countries and receives nearly $2 billion (€1.8 billion) a year in official development assistance, as per the World Bank.
Niger's former colonial ruler France and the European Union have already suspended security cooperation and financial aid to the country.
ECOWAS also has the power to impose sanctions on Niger, which is one of its members.
It could be the first time that the West African leaders consider a military intervention to restore Bazoum back to power.
Niger junta warns West African neighbors against military intervention
Niger's military leaders warned against any such military intervention in a televised statement on Saturday night.
"The objective of the (ECOWAS) meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey in collaboration with other African countries that are non-members of ECOWAS, and certain western countries," junta spokesperson Colonel Amadou Abdramane said.
"We want to once more remind ECOWAS or any other adventurer, of our firm determination to defend our homeland," he added.
The junta issued another statement calling on citizens in capital Niamey to come out into the streets Sunday from 7 a.m. local time (8 a.m. CET) and demonstrate against ECOWAS to show support for the new military leadership.

Wacken Open Air 2023 begins
For many fans, the Wacken Open Air festival — known as W:O:A — has already kicked off for this year. The little village of Wacken in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein is seeing its annual influx of black-clad music fans. They wear black Wacken festival t-shirts, black t-shirts with band logos, black shorts and skirts and heavy black boots. Many of them look pretty intimidating, with their long hair, tattoos and piercings. But in this case, looks really are deceiving. Metalheads, as fans of heavy metal music are known, have a reputation for being some of the friendliest and most peaceful people around.
And although many of the bands on the festival lineup feature loud music with brutal guitar riffs and devilish vocals; fans headbang and romp around in the mosh pits in front of the stages; the beer flows in metaphorical rivers (and once via an actual beer pipeline); and black is the dominant clothing color — there's more peace, love and understanding to be felt at W:O:A than at the legendary Woodstock concert in 1969. The festival attendees see themselves as a big, global family that wants nothing more than to "let their hair down" together for a few days.
That Wacken spirit
It's that spirit that makes Wacken so special. There are many festivals for metal and hard rock music in Europe, from Hellfest in France to Download in England or Graspop in Belgium. Some of them are larger than Wacken, with bigger names on the lineup. But none of them offers the atmosphere that has made Wacken so important to so many fans. Neither steep ticket prices nor a disappointing lineup nor bad weather can keep metalheads from traveling from all over the world to headbang together on what they call their "Holy Ground."
This year the festival takes place under the slogan "Louder than hell," and the main program lasts four days rather than three days like in previous years. The main program kicks off on the evening of Wednesday August 2, with a full-length set by German heavy metal queen Doro, celebrating 40 years of performing live. But early arrivals can enjoy live music starting on Monday, with bands playing at the local village pub. It's a showcase for new and lesser-known metal and hard rock artists — but Wacken veterans know that a visit there could be rewarded with an undisclosed set by a surprise big-name special guest. On the festival grounds themselves, the smaller "Welcome to the Jungle" stage will also offer live acts before the official program kicks off.
Women at Wacken
That kickoff traditionally takes place on Wednesday at midday, when the Wacken Firefighters, the brass band of the local volunteer fire department, play classic rock tunes to thousands of metalheads.
And before the first headliner, Doro, hits the Louder stage on Wednesday evening, a host of bands featuring women will be performing throughout the afternoon. They include the German symphonic metal band Beyond the Black, with vocalist Jenny, and the Brazilian all-woman band Nervosa. W:O:A is considered the metal festival with the highest percentage of women performers, whether as vocalists or instrumentalists.
Wednesday also sees the start of the Metal Battle, in which 30 unsigned acts from around the world compete for cash prizes and merchandise. The musicians come from such diverse places as the Caribbean, Australia, Japan, South Africa and Ukraine. The Metal Battle is especially dear to festival co-founder Thomas Jensen's heart. In 2019, he told DW, "The Metal Battle shows where metal music is played, and that includes areas of conflict and war, where making music is a very different statement than it is here in Germany. It is awesome if we can offer them a stage."
Storming the Infield
On Thursday afternoon, the public will have access to what's known as the Infield — the area in front of the two main stages, called Faster and Harder. The area is traditionally opened with thousands of waiting fans running onto it, raising their hands in a "devil horns" salute and yelling "Wacken!" at the top of their lungs.
That evening, fans can rock out to heavy metal heavy hitters Hammerfall, Helloween and Kreator, as well as rock legends Uriah Heep.
Lord of the Lost on the lineup
Metal legends Megadeth and Iron Maiden are scheduled for Friday evening. And at the end of the night, a band will perform that became known outside of the metal scene thanks to the Eurovision Song Contest: German goth-metal act Lord of the Lost, notable for coming in last in the competition this year. But they didn't let that get to them, calling it a great experience and then heading off on tour supporting Iron Maiden. They may have lost Eurovision, but the exposure won them thousands of new fans and increased their record sales.
Now Lord of the Lost have the chance to follow in the footsteps of Finland's Lordi (who won Eurovision in 2006) and Hungary's AWS (who landed in 21st place in 2018) and prove that participating in Eurovision and appearing at Wacken are not fundamentally contradictory.
Saturday, the fourth day of the festival, will see sets by German metalcore act Heaven Shall Burn and Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys, making their Wacken debut. Not to be missed is Ukrainian band Jinjer, whose singer, Tatiana Shmailyuk, has attracted attention beyond Ukraine and Europe thanks to her unique vocal style.
A surprise act is also expected, with fans speculating that it might be Metallica, who have yet to play at the Wacken festival.
Diverse side events
If the main program doesn't have attendees wondering how they're possibly going to catch all the acts they want to see, a look at the side shows will surely overwhelm them. There's plenty for fans of Viking culture, reflected in the overall appearance at the festival as well as in the artistic performances, program content and other offerings on the grounds.
The artists' group Wasteland Warriors will celebrate its tenth anniversary in the Wasteland, a fixture of the Wacken world featuring fire, metal, roaring engines and everything you might imagine in a post-apocalyptic world.
And as usual, the Dutch marching band Blaas of Glory will be popping up all around the festival grounds, cheerfully playing famous metal hits in a style you've probably never heard before.
Anyone who wants to shift down a gear or two can attend the numerous spoken-word or panel discussion events taking place — or even go to metal yoga classes, sure to relax the neck and shoulders after a night of headbanging.
And that's just what the festivalgoers at Wacken will do: bang their heads, party, listen to music and drink lots of beer, no matter how the weather turns out. As diehard Wacken fans tell each other: "See you on the Holy Ground — rain or shine."

(CNN) — The National Park Service and US National Archives and Records Administration are calling on Americans to help reveal the untold stories of the United States’ first veterans to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence.
The Revolutionary War Pension Files Transcription Project aims to transcribe approximately 2.3 million original documents that correspond with more than 83,000 individual soldiers. The information spans 150 years, from wartime records to 20th century inquiries made by veterans’ descendants.
The goal of the project is to unearth personal stories from the battlefield and home front, using information included in federal pension applications from Revolutionary War veterans and their widows, according to the National Park Service. And they need the public’s help to do it.
“We’re asking the public in the next three years, as we lead up to the 250th anniversary of the United States, to help us transcribe the pension files to be able to unlock these stories of our first veterans,” Suzanne Isaacs, community manager for the National Archives Catalog, said.
While the Continental Army issued signed discharge papers, veterans who served in the militia had to give oral testimonies and provide witnesses to corroborate their stories. As a result, thousands of court records have yet to be digitally transcribed in the National Archives Catalog.
These verbal attestations were an opportunity for veterans to tell their stories in vivid detail. When pension acts were put in place in the early 19th century, many veterans were elderly and illiterate, so they gave detailed accounts in hopes of recording their life stories.
However, relying on oral testimonies also allowed for embellished tales that were difficult to disprove.
For example, William Shoemaker testified that he spent 18 months as a prisoner of war to receive pension pay. Historian Todd Braisted discovered, more than two centuries later, that Shoemaker joined a loyalist unit and was captive for only two months.
When requirements for pension pay loosened in the 1830s, widows who were married before the conclusion of the war became eligible to apply. To receive funds, widows had to give oral testimonies about their husbands’ service and provide proof of their marriage.
That means the National Archive files also include documents such as marriage licenses, wartime letters and soldiers’ diaries.
Judith Lines applied for widow’s pension in 1837 using one of the rarest kinds of documents – a correspondence from her husband written during his service under Gen. George Washington. John Lines’ 1781 note is the only known preserved letter penned by a Black Continental soldier.
With the help of volunteer archivists, these rare, firsthand stories from the Revolutionary War will be accessible to the public and archived in the national library. Volunteers can register for a free account with the National Archives Catalog. No prior experience is required, and there are instructions and video tutorials.
“This project is a way to help make accessible the records of our first veterans, the veterans of the Revolutionary War,” Isaacs said.
The veterans and their families might never have imagined that their accounts of the war and its effects on their lives could be so readily available to the nation. The documents included in this project offer a personal perspective that, before now, was largely unknown.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

Mandy Moore reveals that her son Gus, 2, has Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome: 'Sometimes you feel so helpless'
Mandy Moore shared on Saturday that Gus woke up with a 'crazy rash' and was later diagnosed with a rare childhood skin condition
Mandy Moore revealed that her two-year-old son Gus has Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome, a rare skin condition that causes a blistering and itchy rash in children according to WebMD.
In posts on her Instagram Story, the 39-year-old actress detailed how Gus, whom she shares with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, woke up with a mysterious rash on Saturday, which was initially difficult to diagnose despite visits to several doctors.
"This sweet boy woke up with a crazy rash on Saturday am," the "This Is Us" star wrote on a photo of Gus licking a lollipop in what appeared to be a doctor's office.
She continued, "We thought maybe an eczema flare? Poison oak? Allergy. We tried to deduce what it could be and did anything to help him find relief from the itch."
MANDY MOORE SAYS SHE WILL HAVE AN UNMEDICATED BIRTH DUE TO RARE BLOOD CONDITION
"Went to urgent care. Pediatrician. Dermatologist. Pediatric dermatologist. All the while, he smiles and carries on like the rockstar that he is."
In another post, the "Candy" singer explained that doctors were finally able to identify Gus' skin condition as Gianotti-Crosti syndrome.
"Turns out it's a viral childhood rash that just spontaneously appears called Gianotti-Crosti syndrome," Moore wrote on an image of Gus in which the child's legs were seen covered with red patches of skin.
"It's all over his legs and feet (ouch) and the backs of his arms but nowhere else," she added. "There's nothing to do but a steroid cream and Benadryl at night. And it could last 6-8 weeks. Ooooof. Anyone ever experience this?"
Moore concluded by sharing another photo of Gus and opened up about the challenges of parenting.
"All of that to say, this parenting thing is weird and hard and sometimes you feel so helpless (and yes I'm ever so grateful it's only an itchy skin condition)," the New Hampshire native admitted. "Kids are resilient and as long as he's smiling through it, we are a-okay."
Per the National Organization for Rare Diseases, Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is a "rare skin disease affecting children between the ages of nine months and nine years.

Major symptoms may include blisters on the skin of the legs, buttocks and arms." NORD also noted that the disorder is typically preceded by an underlying viral infection.
In addition to Gus, Moore and Goldsmith, who tied the knot in 2018, are also parents to nine-month-old Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett.
Last month, the "A Walk to Remember" actress reflected on the "chaos" that she and the Dawes frontman experience daily as the parents of two toddlers.

"These dudes rule my heart," Moore captioned a snap of Gus and Ozzie. "Each night, Taylor and I fall into bed after we’ve put them down; after we’ve straightened up from the chaos of dinner/bath and set up for the next morning, and we chat about the day…. And just how utterly nonstop and gratifying it is."
She continued, "You never know what the day will bring and you roll with it to the best of your ability, right?"
"All of that to say, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, I do look forward to feeling moderately well rested sometime in the next decade? But [shrug emoji]," Moore concluded. | https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/mandy-moore-reveals-son-gus-2-gianotti-crosti-syndrome-sometimes-feel-helpless | 2023-07-30T08:53:07 | 0 | https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/mandy-moore-reveals-son-gus-2-gianotti-crosti-syndrome-sometimes-feel-helpless |
Australia grounds Taipan helicopters after crash
Australian army chief Lieutenant General Simon Stuart said on Sunday that Australia's 45-strong fleet of MRH-90 Taipan helicopters would cease flying until further notice after one crashed into the ocean during multinational military exercises on Friday.
The ageing Taipans have repeatedly been grounded in the past, with officials complaining that they are difficult to maintain and that spare parts are not readily available.
The crash was the second emergency involving an Australian Taipan this year. In March, a helicopter of that type ditched into the search off the coast of the state of New South Wales while on a training exercise. All 10 people on board were rescued.
What did Australia's army chief say?
"We are not flying the MRH-90 today and won't until we think it is safe to do so," Stuart told reporters in the eastern city of Sydney.
Stuart said the army was currently planning to keep the Taipans in service until 2024 but that the crash might cause some reconsideration.
"What happens between now and then, from what we learn from this incident, is yet to be determined," he said.
The Australian government has in the past already spoken of plans to replace the Taipan fleet with US-made Black Hawks.
Stuart also identified the four missing crew and said they were all from the 6th Aviation Regiment, based in Sydney.
"You have to feel for their families and their mates," he said.
What are the details of the crash?
The aircraft that crashed was taking part in Talisman Saber, a biennial joint US-Australian military exercise. It went down in waters near the Whitsunday Islands off Australia's subtropical northeast in the state of Queensland, where the exercise is largely based.
A search for the missing pilot and three other crew members is ongoing, with hundreds of Australian, US and Canadian military personnel taking part.
Debris from the the aircraft was reportedly recovered on Saturday.
This year's Talisman Saber exercise involves 13 nations and more than 30,000 military personnel. It was interrupted briefly on Saturday but some activities were later started up again away from the crash site.
The crash came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are in Australia for ministerial talks.
"Our hearts go out to their loved ones during this terribly difficult time," Austin said of the missing crew.

Not long ago there was a clear line between the contenders and the pretenders. If you weren’t leading your division or among the five or six best teams in your league, chances are you were better off looking ahead to next year.
Now, things aren’t quite so simple.
Entering Saturday, 11 out of 15 American League teams were over .500 and 10 were either in playoff position or within four games of a spot. A similar dynamic is at play in the National League, with nine teams at or above .500 and eight within a game of a postseason berth.
That kind of situation would have been exceedingly unlikely if not mathematically impossible in years past, but thanks to the expanded postseason field, a fully balanced schedule and the historic ineptitude of the Oakland Athletics and Kansas City Royals, we now live in a world where nearly the entire league can realistically say it has a chance to make the playoffs.
And as we’ve seen so many times before, if you make it to October, you can win a championship.
So many clubs having an incentive to buy is inevitably going to affect the trade market. Fewer teams selling means fewer impact players on the block and hotter competition among the buyers vying for those scarce resources. That will drive up prices, which is great news for the sellers, but the high costs could still be worth it for the buyers if the player potentially puts them over the hump.
Plus, landing an impact piece at the trade deadline also means keeping him away from a rival, too.
The calculus for clubs like the Red Sox is particularly complex. Over the past month Boston has been arguably the hottest team in baseball and is set to get one of its best position players (Trevor Story) and several of its best pitchers (Chris Sale, Garrett Whitlock, Tanner Houck) back from the injured list. On the other hand, the club is still in the midst of a long-term rebuild and remains below the playoff cutline despite all of its recent progress.
A compelling argument could be made in favor of loading up for a playoff run or for looking ahead to 2024.
Speaking to reporters earlier this week, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom indicated the Red Sox will try to do both. Last year they unsuccessfully tried to buy and sell at the trade deadline, but this year the club might be better positioned to execute a similar plan more effectively.
What might that look like?
The Red Sox could start by streamlining their current roster. They’ve already traded Kiké Hernández to clear up the club’s middle infield logjam, and they could follow a similar track in the outfield by trading Adam Duvall, a pending free agent who has been made expendable thanks to Jarren Duran’s breakout season.
Though less likely, they could also sell high on James Paxton, acquiring some valuable prospects or a big league piece, while simultaneously adding another (or multiple) starting pitchers. Maybe they trade away Paxton, acquire another starting pitcher with multiple years of team control to fill his spot and then add another affordable arm to help tide things over until Sale, Houck and Whitlock return — perhaps a reunion with Rich Hill, who’s having another solid season in Pittsburgh.
As far as bolstering the current roster, they could kill two birds with one stone by acquiring left-hander Jordan Montgomery and second baseman Paul DeJong from the St. Louis Cardinals. Montgomery would be a rental but DeJong has a two-year club option the Red Sox could potentially pick up, which would give the team stability in the middle infield while top prospect Marcelo Mayer works his way to the majors.
Or they could do something completely unexpected. You could probably spend all weekend imagining the possibilities.
Every club will have its own decisions to make, but no matter what happens on Tuesday, baseball’s trade season has fundamentally changed — mostly for the better. More teams in contention means more fanbases with real championship hope, which means more compelling playoff chases, more interest in the sport nationwide and heightened stakes across the board.
After all, just because you push your chips to the center of the table doesn’t mean your bet is going to pay off. And while folding and playing for the next hand might seem the safe move, missing a chance to win big is a risk all its own.
Angels all in with Ohtani
Speaking of clubs pushing in their chips, the Los Angeles Angels made their intentions clear this week. They will not be trading two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, and they’re going to do everything possible to maximize whatever time he has left in Anaheim.
To drive that point home, the Angels went out and made the first big splash of trade season, acquiring starting pitcher Lucas Giolito and reliever Reynaldo Lopez, both pending free agents, from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for two of Los Angeles’ top three prospects.
They’re going all in, for better or worse.
Despite employing Ohtani and fellow MVP Mike Trout for the past five seasons, the Angels still haven’t made the playoffs since getting swept in the ALDS back in 2014. Things looked dire after Trout went down with a broken bone in his hand and high-priced former all-star Anthony Rendon got hurt again, and at one point the Angels fell to 45-47 after losing 10 of 11 games. They looked completely cooked.
But then a funny thing happened. They swept the New York Yankees, won nine of 12 and as of this writing were four games out of the playoffs.
Evidently Angels owner Arte Moreno saw enough.
Ohtani, of course, has been amazing. He’s now up to 39 home runs and has a realistic chance of challenging Aaron Judge’s new American League home run record (62). He also has a 3.43 ERA, has struck out 156 batters in 120.2 innings and could conceivably win the AL Cy Young Award alongside the AL MVP he’s already effectively locked up.
Trading a player like that might have seemed crazy, but Ohtani is due to hit free agency this offseason and has made it clear he wants to play for a winner going forward. The Angels have consistently failed to build a winner around him, so rather than risk losing him in free agency for only a compensatory draft pick, trading him for what would have surely been a massive package of top prospects to build around going forward could have potentially set the club up for long-term success.
Instead they’ve gone the other way, so these next few months will essentially be the organization’s last chance to prove to Ohtani that he can win in Orange County.
And if they fail, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Judge returns
After missing nearly two months with a torn ligament in his right big toe, Aaron Judge finally made his return to the New York Yankees lineup on Friday. The reigning AL MVP went 0 for 1 with three walks in his first game back, which the Yankees lost 1-0 to the Baltimore Orioles on a walk-off home run by Anthony Santander.
Since Judge suffered the injury crashing through the outfield wall trying to make a catch at Dodgers Stadium on June 3, the Yankees have been a sub-.500 team, going 19-23 over 42 games. Judge has acknowledged the injury hasn’t fully healed, but it’s reached a point where he can tolerate the pain enough to get back on the field.
Even a somewhat diminished Judge could potentially make a huge difference, as the Yankees lineup has struggled mightily without him. During the time he missed, the Yankees ranked near the bottom of the league in OPS (.670, 27th), runs per game (3.88, 27th) and batting average (.220, last).
With key series against the Orioles, Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros on the horizon, the Yankees have to hope Judge can help get them back on track.
Mets admit defeat
This past offseason the New York Mets were riding high, tossing around epic contracts to assemble the most expensive roster in MLB history.
Now, they stand at 49-54 and have effectively admitted their season is a failure.
The Mets traded away top reliever David Robertson to the Miami Marlins this week, and more moves could be coming as the Mets complete their shift from preseason championship favorites to trade deadline sellers. As of Saturday night the Mets were reportedly nearing a deal to send future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers, and it’s conceivable fellow future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander could be moved by Tuesday as well.
Could the San Diego Padres follow suit?
Like the Mets, the Padres were among the big winners of the offseason but have badly underperformed despite boasting a star-studded roster. San Diego also came into Saturday in fourth place and 50-54, but the Padres haven’t indicated they will also sell.
If they did, closer Josh Hader and starter Blake Snell are both pending free agents and would be highly coveted on the trade market. They could also get a king’s ransom for Juan Soto, one of the game’s premier players who won’t be free agent until after next season.
As expected, the Chicago White Sox have emerged as aggressive sellers. In addition to Giolito, the White Sox traded starter Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly to the Dodgers for outfielder Trayce Thompson and two prospects, as well as reliever Kendall Graveman to the Houston Astros for catcher Korey Lee.
The Dodgers addressed their void at shortstop by acquiring Amed Rosario from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for starter Noah Syndergaard, and the Milwaukee Brewers added veteran slugger Carlos Santana in a deal with Pittsburgh.
Among the other big names not previously mentioned, expected to be moved at the deadline are Detroit starters Michael Lorenzen and Eduardo Rodriguez, Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario, Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks and many others.
Big month for BC baseball
Lexington’s Sal Frelick enjoyed a historic MLB debut last Saturday, going 3 for 3 with two RBI, a run scored, the go-ahead sacrifice fly and two outstanding catches in the outfield in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 4-3 win over the Atlanta Braves, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down.
Through his first week in the major leagues the former Boston College star is batting .417 with a home run, three RBI and a 1.222 OPS. His hot start has been one of several notable highlights for the BC baseball program, which also had two players drafted in this month’s MLB Draft.
Outfielder Travis Honeyman was a third-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals and first baseman Joe Vetrano was a fifth-rounder to the Dodgers. Reading’s Peter Burns, a five-year BC catcher and a former Austin Prep star, also signed with the Los Angeles Angels as an undrafted free agent. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/07/30/mlb-notes-with-expanded-playoffs-more-teams-have-reason-to-buy-at-trade-deadline/ | 2023-07-30T08:55:00 | 0 | https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/07/30/mlb-notes-with-expanded-playoffs-more-teams-have-reason-to-buy-at-trade-deadline/ |
Dear Amy: My husband’s brother and his wife announced about a year ago that they had irreconcilable differences; they divorced after a long and loveless marriage.
To be honest we have no idea why they stayed together as long as they did.
About a month later, my brother-in-law introduced us to his new girlfriend.
I was initially very happy that he had found someone new who really seemed to fit into the family dynamic better than his ex.
But then his new girlfriend reached out on Facebook. I accepted her friend request and was trying to get to know her by looking at her past posts.
That’s when I realized that she and my brother-in-law had been in a relationship for at least five years.
I haven’t mentioned this to anyone else in the family except for my husband.
I was raised with a strong belief in the sanctity of marriage, and I unfortunately find their infidelity and lack of shame about it to be disturbing.
I try not to let this knowledge get in my way of being friendly with them, but it’s always sitting in the back of my mind, and I’ve found myself avoiding them so I don’t have to think about it.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to keep this relationship friendly? I don’t want to damage my husband’s family dynamic.
– Don’t Want to be Judgmental
Dear Judgmental: No one knows what goes on in another couple’s marriage, but my observation is that even long and loveless marriages can hang on until another potential partner enters the scene, which often serves as the impetus for the couple to finally separate.
Generally, when a separated or very recently divorced person introduces another partner to the family very quickly after parting with the spouse, it’s a sign that the new person has been on the scene for a while.
Your brother-in-law and his former wife might have had an understanding or were negotiating about how to handle their marriage and outside relationships prior to their divorce.
The girlfriend’s public posts indicate that there is an overall lack of shame regarding the relationship, and whether this is because they are actually shameless or perhaps reacting to a much more complicated personal situation remains to be seen. It is really none of your business, but if you’re curious, you could ask – but I suggest you work hard to keep your harsher judgment in check.
Dear Amy: I have two friends, both of whom live across the country, who like to call me for extended conversations.
Both of these people talk nonstop and miraculously seem to have evolved out of the need for air, because I spend these calls waiting for a tiny pause that would allow me to blurt out that I have to go.
When I imagine telling them that I really don’t like talking on the phone, I feel sure they will feel insulted.
As it is, I only answer every third or so call, but it’s still too much.
Any ideas for how I can end these calls without sparking animosity?
– Desperate Phone Hostage
Dear Hostage: “I have to be honest – I don’t take all of your calls because I don’t really like talking on the phone” is describing a personal preference, not delivering an insult.
And – the way you describe these encounters as a hostage situation makes these people seem less like actual friends and more like bored and boring cold-calling phone bots.
In short, if you want a monologue, you can watch Jimmy Kimmel. And even he comes up for air.
If you dodge a call, you could use texting (or email) to contact them: “I see you called. What’s up?”
This might unleash a new wave of annoyance, but that would be another challenge for another day.
Dear Amy: I thought your response to “Basically a Single Parent,” was, basically, awful. This father of two young children is addicted to his phone screen, and instead of telling him to pay attention to his kids, you suggest that he listen to music?!
– Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: Other readers agree with you, and yes I also agree that the core issue is that this father was so disengaged with his very young children.
However, I raised children with the help of Broadway cast albums and NPR.
As long as your hands are free and you’re not too distracted, I think it’s fine to have some audio going in the background.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin told leaders and officials from most African countries on Thursday that his nation is making full efforts to avert a global food crisis despite concerns that its withdrawal from a deal allowing grain shipments from Ukraine will cause shortages and price spikes.
He spoke at the opening session of a two-day Russia-Africa summit attended by a sharply lower number of African heads of state and government compared with a previous summit in 2019.
“Our country will continue supporting needy states and regions, in particular, with its humanitarian deliveries. We seek to actively participate in building a fairer system of distribution of resources. We are taking maximum efforts to avert a global food crisis,” Putin said.
"I have already said that our country can replace Ukrainian grain, both on a commercial basis and as grant aid to the neediest African countries, more so since we expect another record harvest this year,” he said.
Russia and Ukraine agreed a year ago on a U.N.- and Turkey-brokered deal that reopened three Ukrainian Black Sea ports that had been blocked by Russia-Ukraine fighting and provided assurances that ships entering the ports would not be attacked. Russia declined to renew the agreement this month, complaining that its own exports were being held up.
Both Russia and Ukraine are major grain suppliers.
Promising Russian food exports to Africa is key to Putin's stated goal of using the summit to bolster ties with a continent of 1.3 billion people that is increasingly assertive on the global stage.
Putin also announced other moves to deepen relations with Africa, including increased enrollment of African students in Russian universities, the opening of Russian state news media bureaus in many African countries and a proposed “common information space in Russia and Africa, within which objective, unbiased information about events taking place in the world will be broadcast to Russian and African audiences.”
Africa’s 54 nations make up the largest voting bloc at the United Nations and have been more divided than any other region on General Assembly resolutions criticizing Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
It’s the second Russia-Africa summit since 2019. The number of heads of state attending shrank from 43 then to 17 now because of what the Kremlin described as crude Western pressure to discourage African nations from taking part.
Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said that while only 17 heads of state are attending the summit, 32 other African countries are represented by senior officials or ambassadors.
Along with grain, another issue likely to be on the agenda is the fate of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin following its brief rebellion against the top military leadership last month. Wagner’s future will be an urgent issue for countries such as Sudan, Mali and others who contract with the mercenary group in exchange for natural resources like gold. Russian officials and Prigozhin have said the company will continue working in Africa.
A peace proposal for Ukraine that African leaders have tried to pursue is set to be discussed as well.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Philippine passenger boat carrying dozens of people, including children, overturned Thursday after being lashed by strong wind in a town southeast of Manila and search and rescue efforts were underway, the Coast Guard said.
The MBCA Aya capsized when its passengers moved to one side of the boat in panic when it was battered by fierce wind about 46 meters (151 feet) from Kalinawan village in Binangonan town in Rizal province, the coast guard said.
The Coast Guard said it was trying to validate social media reports of dozens of passengers being rescued or drowning.
Typhoon Doksuri moved away Thursday after battering the northern Philippines and enhancing seasonal monsoon rains in a large swath of the archipelago. At least nine people were killed, mostly due to landslides, flooding and toppled trees and thousands were displaced, disaster response officials said.
Sea travel was suspended in many ports during Doksuri's onslaught from Tuesday to Wednesday, stranding thousands of passengers and cargo trucks. The no-sail orders were gradually lifted Thursday as weather improved in many areas.
Coast guard spokesman Armand Balilo said the passenger boat had been cleared to sail from Binangonan town to nearby Talim island because the typhoon had blown out of the country.
At least four northern provinces remained under cyclone wind alert, banning fishing boats and smaller vessels from venturing out to sea. Rains, however, continued to swamp several towns and cities farther south, including in the densely populated capital region, metropolitan Manila, which lies to the west of Rizal province.
Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of frequent storms, badly maintained boats, overcrowding and weak enforcement of safety regulations. In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,300 people in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.

Slackline World Champion Jaan Roose pushes the limits: "Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever"
DOHA, Qatar, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Globally renowned Red Bull athlete Jaan Roose has completed the world's longest LED-lit, single-building slackline to cross one of Qatar's newest and most iconic architectural landmarks.
The Estonian national and three-time Slackline World Champion defied the odds by achieving the walk, titled "Sparkline," at the first attempt, walking the distance between the scimitar-shaped, Iconic Towers that are owned by Katara Hospitality and that are home to Raffles and Fairmont Doha in Lusail City.
Covering a distance of over 150 meters, the Sparkline walk is not only the longest on a single building, but also Jaan's second-highest walk to date at an elevation of more than 185 meters on a line just 2.5cm wide.
Speaking on the new world record set, Roose commented:
"When I first saw the Iconic Towers, I knew this was a building that I had to walk. Anything worth achieving comes with its fair share of challenges, and I'm proud to complete this one. Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever. As an athlete, I'm always looking to push myself further and defy the odds. In this case the heat and wind conditions added a different element that I needed to react to and manage spontaneously while I was on the slackline. The warm LED lights and their extra weight also changed how the line interacted with me and my bodyweight. It's like skateboarding on a big heavy tree trunk rather than a light board."
"The Iconic Towers are an incredible place to be completing this feat and mark a very special visit for my first time in Qatar," Roose added.
The Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha are two luxury hotels that face each other in beautifully imposing structures shaped like scimitar swords. The towers are some of the latest to be added to Lusail City's expanding list of architectural marvels and create a distinct silhouette against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. Featuring the world's tallest chandelier, the Fairmont Doha is a masterclass in design, while the suite-only Raffles Doha showcases a spell-binding entrance, a personal butler service and fine-dining delights by world-renowned chef, Enrico Crippa.
Managing Director of Raffles and Fairmont Doha, Christian Hirt, expressed his excitement about the event being hosted at the Iconic Towers, saying "Raffles and Fairmont Doha have always celebrated the extraordinary, and this event embodies that spirit. The project serves to underline our commitment to showcasing high-calibre talents that defy the impossible. As this daring athlete 'Sparklines' across our towers, we hope it captivates the world and inspires others to push their boundaries."
Katara Hospitality's leadership commented: "We are proud of this activation, working alongside Qatar Tourism and Red Bull, as it exemplifies Katara Hospitality's commitment to utilizing the Iconic Towers as a powerful asset to promote tourism and enhance the destination's appeal. Through this event, we aim to showcase the extraordinary capabilities of the Iconic Towers and position them as a symbol of Qatar's excellence in hospitality and entertainment."
Commenting on the project with Jaan Roose, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: "Qatar has built a sporting legacy for itself and is now a true hub for international sporting events. We're delighted to support the exhilarating slackline walk event and champion renowned athletes. By fostering a culture of athleticism, we strive to create opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills and reach new heights in their athletic careers. In addition to its world-class sporting facilities, Qatar is home to a fresh and diverse suite of incredible hotels that make Qatar a global destination of choice for all travellers."
The Sparkline walk took place as part of an action-packed calendar of global events in Qatar. With several key sporting events expected to take place in 2023, including Qatar MotoGP, AFC Asian Cup, Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix, and Geneva International Motor Show, visitors can expect extraordinary sporting experiences in Qatar all year round.

Slackline World Champion Jaan Roose pushes the limits: "Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever"
DOHA, Qatar, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Globally renowned Red Bull athlete Jaan Roose has completed the world's longest LED-lit, single-building slackline to cross one of Qatar's newest and most iconic architectural landmarks.
The Estonian national and three-time Slackline World Champion defied the odds by achieving the walk, titled "Sparkline," at the first attempt, walking the distance between the scimitar-shaped, Iconic Towers that are owned by Katara Hospitality and that are home to Raffles and Fairmont Doha in Lusail City.
Covering a distance of over 150 meters, the Sparkline walk is not only the longest on a single building, but also Jaan's second-highest walk to date at an elevation of more than 185 meters on a line just 2.5cm wide.
Speaking on the new world record set, Roose commented:
"When I first saw the Iconic Towers, I knew this was a building that I had to walk. Anything worth achieving comes with its fair share of challenges, and I'm proud to complete this one. Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever. As an athlete, I'm always looking to push myself further and defy the odds. In this case the heat and wind conditions added a different element that I needed to react to and manage spontaneously while I was on the slackline. The warm LED lights and their extra weight also changed how the line interacted with me and my bodyweight. It's like skateboarding on a big heavy tree trunk rather than a light board."
"The Iconic Towers are an incredible place to be completing this feat and mark a very special visit for my first time in Qatar," Roose added.
The Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha are two luxury hotels that face each other in beautifully imposing structures shaped like scimitar swords. The towers are some of the latest to be added to Lusail City's expanding list of architectural marvels and create a distinct silhouette against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. Featuring the world's tallest chandelier, the Fairmont Doha is a masterclass in design, while the suite-only Raffles Doha showcases a spell-binding entrance, a personal butler service and fine-dining delights by world-renowned chef, Enrico Crippa.
Managing Director of Raffles and Fairmont Doha, Christian Hirt, expressed his excitement about the event being hosted at the Iconic Towers, saying "Raffles and Fairmont Doha have always celebrated the extraordinary, and this event embodies that spirit. The project serves to underline our commitment to showcasing high-calibre talents that defy the impossible. As this daring athlete 'Sparklines' across our towers, we hope it captivates the world and inspires others to push their boundaries."
Katara Hospitality's leadership commented: "We are proud of this activation, working alongside Qatar Tourism and Red Bull, as it exemplifies Katara Hospitality's commitment to utilizing the Iconic Towers as a powerful asset to promote tourism and enhance the destination's appeal. Through this event, we aim to showcase the extraordinary capabilities of the Iconic Towers and position them as a symbol of Qatar's excellence in hospitality and entertainment."
Commenting on the project with Jaan Roose, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: "Qatar has built a sporting legacy for itself and is now a true hub for international sporting events. We're delighted to support the exhilarating slackline walk event and champion renowned athletes. By fostering a culture of athleticism, we strive to create opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills and reach new heights in their athletic careers. In addition to its world-class sporting facilities, Qatar is home to a fresh and diverse suite of incredible hotels that make Qatar a global destination of choice for all travellers."
The Sparkline walk took place as part of an action-packed calendar of global events in Qatar. With several key sporting events expected to take place in 2023, including Qatar MotoGP, AFC Asian Cup, Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix, and Geneva International Motor Show, visitors can expect extraordinary sporting experiences in Qatar all year round.

To the Editor:
After attending the DeKalb Co. Commissioners meeting on July 24th, I had an exchange on Facebook about the matter. which compelled me to voice my opinion to a broader audience. I hope to bring awareness to others in the community who care about the health and the well-being of not only ourselves, but our whole community.
While I sat at the meeting, one fact became clear: overwhelming, the people who are in favor of our county receiving potentially $1 million in public health funding were those who are actively serving DeKalb County residents in a variety of ways.
Of particular interest to me was Tammy Stafford, who serves as the Executive Director for St. Martin's Health Clinic in Garrett. Tammy helped launch the clinic in 2005 and which now offers medical and dental care in four counties to residents who night otherwise not have access to health care. Her passions around the work comes from her connection to their Mission. Her support alone confirmed my strong support of our Commissioners doing all within their power to not only accept this additional funding, but to use it in the ways that best serve the needs of DeKalb County.
I walked away from the meeting with one additional wish: that the people who opposed the funding would take the time to consider volunteering for organizations that directly serve vulnerable populations in our Community. I hope they will go to the hospital, St. Martin's, Fortify Life or GKB schools, DeKalb County Council on Aging or the United Way. I hope they will talk to their primary care physicians about the health needs in our community and look for ways to support that work. I hope they will spend less time worrying about things that might happen or stories they read on the internet, and more time connecting with their neighbors in our community.
I think this shift in perspective might be helpful in the future as they consider what is in the best interest of the county.

Of all extreme weather conditions, heat is the most deadly. It kills more people in the U.S. in an average year than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism – sweat. But that system can only do so much, especially in soaring temperatures with high humidity.
Here's a look at what happens to the human body in extreme temperatures – and the three main pathways to fatal consequences.
Loading...
Organ failure caused by heatstroke
When the surrounding temperatures approach your internal body temperature – which is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for most of us – your body starts to cool off through evaporative cooling, better known as sweating. But when it's very humid out, that sweat won't evaporate as well and cool you down.
When your body is exposed to heat, it will try to cool itself down by redirecting more blood to the skin, says Ollie Jay, a professor of heat and health at the University of Sydney, where he directs the Heat and Health Research Incubator. But that means less blood and less oxygen are going to your gut. If these conditions go on long enough, your gut can become more permeable.
"So, nasty things like endotoxins that usually reside and stay inside the gut start leaking out of the gut, entering the circulation. And that sets off a cascade of effects that ultimately result in death," Jay says.
For example, those toxins can activate white blood cells, says Camilo Mora, a climate scientist and professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa who has researched how heat can turn fatal. "They say, Oh my God, we're getting attacked right now. And the white blood cells are going to attack this contamination in the blood, creating coagulation" – or blood clots, Mora says. Those clots can lead to multiple organ failure.
"And at that point, it's pretty irreversible," Jay adds.
Cardiovascular collapse
The second way people die in high heat also has to do with your body pumping more blood to the skin. Your heart has to pump faster – which can make you feel lightheaded – to keep your blood pressure up.
"We might have a heart rate of 60 beats per minute, all of a sudden, we might be asking the heart to contract 100 times per minute, 110 times per minute. So now you're asking the heart to do a lot more work," Jay says.
Those spikes in the heart rate can be triggers for a heart attack, he says, especially for the elderly and those with underlying heart conditions.
Fluid loss leading to kidney failure
The third deadly danger has to do with the fluids your body is losing in extreme heat. People can sweat as much as a liter and half per hour, Jay says. And if you don't replenish those fluids, you get dehydrated and your blood volume shrinks, which makes it harder to maintain blood pressure. That can strain your heart and your kidneys.
"People with kidney disorders can be at greater risk of a negative health outcome during extreme heat exposure," Jay says.
Mora notes another danger to the kidneys that people who work physically demanding jobs in high heat outdoors face. Rhabdomyolysis causes muscle tissue to break down, releasing proteins into the blood that can clog kidneys. This usually occurs in the acute phase of heatstroke. Jay says there's also some evidence that habitually working outdoors in high heat without proper hydration can increase the risk of chronic kidney disease.
What you can do to stay safe
Watch for the first signs of mild heat exhaustion:
If that happens, Jay says, get out of the heat and into the shade or indoors ASAP. Drink plenty of water and wet your clothes and skin. Immersing your feet in cold water can also help.
Jay says the goal is to cool down so you don't progress to severe heat exhaustion, where you might start vomiting or seem to lose coordination – signs of neurological disturbance.
If your core body temperature rises to about 104 degrees Fahrenheit, Jay says, that's where you risk heatstroke.
How hot is too hot?
Experts say there's no absolute temperature at which extreme heat can turn dangerous.
"It depends on the individual," says Lewis Halsey, a professor of environmental physiology at the University of Roehampton in the U.K. "It depends on how acclimated they are to heat. It depends how long they're exposed to the heat for. It depends on how they're experiencing this heat."
If sweating is our superpower to keep cool, then "the kryptonite to that superpower is humidity," Halsey says.
So a person might start feeling overwhelmed much sooner in higher humidity at lower temperatures than if they're in dry heat, he says. Direct sunlight will heat us up faster than when we're in the shade. A nice breeze could help sweat evaporate and cool us off.
The elderly and very young are considered particularly vulnerable in the heat. But Mora of the University of Hawaii at Manoa notes heat stress can hit anyone.
He points to the story of a young family who died after becoming dangerously overheated while hiking on a day in August 2021 when temperatures reached 109 degrees Fahrenheit in Northern California. The husband, wife, their one-year-old daughter and even the family dog were found dead two days later.
Mora says those kinds of conditions could kill within a few hours — even if you are young and healthy.
"The military has done a lot of research into heat exposure and they find the first symptoms of heat exhaustion, heatstroke after only a few hours, even among the healthiest of people," Mora says.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."
Regarding her progress at school, Youguo said that she has become more confident and open-minded. "I used to be nervous when singing on stage. But I've learned a lot from my classmates and I've grown confident," she said.
Part of big story
The experience of Youguo's family is part of the story of the country's historic achievement in poverty eradication.
Liangshan is home to the largest ethnic Yi community in China and is about 2,000 kilometers from Beijing. When President Xi visited Sanhe village in February 2018, it was one of the most destitute villages in Liangshan. Deep in the Daliang Mountains, local people lived in dark mud huts, suffering from limited transportation and low crop yields caused by the harsh natural conditions. Most villagers grew corn and potatoes for a living.
Given the difficulty of building roads in the mountainous area, the local government opted to relocate the villagers out of the mountain. By September 2020, 353,200 people from 74,400 households in Liangshan had been relocated and started their new lives in their new homes.
Local villagers also came up with innovative ways to improve their living. In Zhaojue county, where Sanhe village is located, locals developed plantations of strawberries. After a year of development, the plantation covered an area of 1,800 mu (120 hectares). Thanks to this new business, in a five-month period in 2019, more than 20,000 local workers were employed, each earning 9,000 yuan on average. From then on, some 165 modern plantations have mushroomed in Liangshan.
After years of national and local efforts, Liangshan witnessed the eradication of poverty, with more than 1.05 million people lifted out of absolute poverty and 11 counties and 2,072 villages removed from the list of impoverished areas.
Sanhe village has established a unique development model that combines breeding, plantation and rural tourism to increase the villagers' income. Currently, the villager's net income per capita has reached over 18,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than the amount before the anti-poverty campaign, Sichuan Daily reported.
In February 2021, China announced victory in its fight against poverty, eradicating absolute poverty in the country.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
Emmett Till would have turned 82 today. Till was tortured and murdered in Mississippi after a white woman accused the Black 14-year-old of whistling and grabbing at her. Till and his mother's willingness to share the brutality Till suffered marked a pivotal moment in the early Civil Rights Movement. Mamie Till Mobley described her decision in a 2003 interview with The Chicago Project.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MAMIE TILL MOBLEY: Let the people see what I've seen. And I want open casket viewing from now until the time we take Emmett for burial.
KELLY: Now, almost 70 years after Till was beaten, shot, had a cotton gin tied around his body and was thrown in the Tallahatchie River, Till and his mother are being memorialized in the form of three monuments in Chicago and Mississippi. President Biden signed the proclamation designating the sites earlier today. Patrick Weems is the executive director of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center in Sumner, Miss. He was at the White House when President Biden put pen to paper. We spoke before he headed to that event.
Patrick Weems, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
PATRICK WEEMS: Thank you, Mary Louise.
KELLY: You've come to D.C. for this event at the White House, and you picked up the Till family en route.
WEEMS: We drove from Chicago to D.C. to be here today, and I couldn't think of a more memorable trip to be here with Wheeler Parker, who's one of the most gracious, forgiving human beings and probably one of the most important people alive.
KELLY: So tell me about the three locations. There are two in Mississippi, one in Illinois. Start with the one that marks the site where Till's body was believed to have been pulled from the Tallahatchie River. What will visitors see there?
WEEMS: Yeah, well, hopefully what they won't see is a bullet-riddled sign. You know, we've had a lot of history of this site being desecrated, being shot up. We were able to put a bulletproof marker there recently in the last couple of years. But more significant is that the site where Till's body came out of the Tallahatchie River will now be a part of the National Park Service system. And to know that it will be federally protected - to make sure that if someone does vandalize our signs, it won't be a local sheriff. It will be the federal government that will get involved. But this is the big bang of the Civil Rights Movement, as Jesse Jackson talked about. This is a site where so many Black bodies were thrown into rivers. But Emmett's miraculously emerged. An 18-year-old fisherman found the body and brought it to the banks of the Tallahatchie River, where his body was initially identified because he had his father's ring on his finger. But then later, Mamie Till made sure the body came to Chicago, where she said, this is my son. I know my son.
KELLY: Yeah. And that's - the site in Illinois is the site where she insisted on an open casket. Describe what we'll see there.
WEEMS: Yeah. So, I mean, public officials wanted to bury Emmett in Mississippi. The sheriff had a directive to make sure the body was buried in Money, Miss. Mamie refused. She wanted to have a very private mourning for her son, first and foremost. But she also took that moment to remember and kind of resist white supremacy, resist the Jim Crow system by having a public funeral, having an open casket to show the world what they did to her son.
KELLY: And then the last location is also in Mississippi, back in Tallahatchie County.
WEEMS: That's right. So the site of the injustice - right? - so the miscarriage of justice took place in our courtroom in 1955. And it's also the site where people like Willie Reed, an 18-year-old sharecropper who witnessed the murder. He testified at the trial, and he whispered his testimony because he was scared to death. He later had a nervous breakdown, changed his name and moved to Chicago and didn't talk about this until 30 years later. And so, you know, it's a low point in American history, the fact that these men get off without any penalty. But it also is a testimony to people like Medgar Evers, Willie Reed, Mose Wright, Mamie Till, Dr. T.R.M. Howard - people who did the right thing that day and had the courage to at least try to get some attempt at justice.
KELLY: You know, I'm thinking about how this monument designation comes as a national conversation is underway about how to teach Black history in our schools. Do you think these monuments might help inform that conversation?
WEEMS: They already are. I mean, this is American history. We have young people visit these sites already. This will only amplify and make it easier for young people to come. It takes the best of us to talk about the worst of us. And if we're going to have a true democracy and multicultural democracy, we have to understand where we've stumbled. And we stumbled badly in 1955. And no matter party affiliation, I think we should all agree that what took place in 1955 was wrong. The system was wrong. Mississippi was wrong. The United States was wrong. But we can be better. It's our hope that this memorial marks a line in the sand that says, never again, and that if we want to hold and cherish our democracy, we need to learn about Mose Wright and Mamie Till.
KELLY: Patrick Weems. Thank you.
WEEMS: Thank you, Mary Louise. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.
Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack "insignificantly damaged" the outsides of two buildings in the Moscow City district. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.
No flights went into or out of the Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed for any aircraft. Those restrictions have since been lifted.
Moscow authorities have also closed a street for traffic near the site of the crash in the Moscow City area.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who rarely if ever take responsibility for attacks on Russian soil.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside Moscow on Friday. Two more drones struck the Russian capital on Monday, one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry's headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.
In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and a fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court's ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
"The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties," Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be "reviewing the judge's opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law."
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge's 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
"As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!" he said in an email.
"I'm relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS' librarians has lifted," he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is "thrilled" about the decision. She said enforcing this law "is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can."
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state's 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library's decision to move children's books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas' restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

CHENGDU, China, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the beginning of the grand opening ceremony of the 31st World University Games in Chengdu on Friday night, Jihao Youguo, a girl hailing from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, led representatives of the 56 ethnic groups of China to sing "Beautiful National Flag" and "Ode to the Motherland."
Youguo firstly became known to the public in February 2018 when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited her family, a poverty-stricken household in Sanhe village, while on an inspection tour to learn about the progress of poverty eradication in the village.
To welcome Xi's visit at the family's dilapidated abode, the then 10-year-old Youguo sang the same song "Beautiful National Flag" and won the applause from Xi.
One year later, all the 29 Sanhe households, including Youguo's family, were relocated to a newly built tile-roofed and brick-walled building which includes a series of apartments measuring about 100 square meters each, thanks to the local poverty eradication program. Youguo said in 2019 that she wished President Xi would come back and visit her new spacious house.
Youguo's father told the media that they opened a grocery store in one extra room of their new house. The store spared the villagers' 30-minute trip to the township for grocery shopping. The store itself brought the family an income of 3,000 yuan ($419) a month, roughly covering the monthly expenses of their three kids attending a boarding school in Liangshan. Youguo's father also keeps some livestock and 30 beehives, making a total income of about 60,000 yuan a year.
Wang Liyuan, an organizer for the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Games, told media that they contacted the Liangshan education authorities and invited Youguo and five other children in the region to sing at the event. "The children are always smiling and enthusiastic, giving a true feeling of sincerity."
Dream of becoming music teacher
With the help of a private education service provider, Youguo, her sister and brother were enrolled into the Liangshan Xichang Tianli School in 2020. Thanks to a dedicated charity fund, they were able to attend the school tuition-free.
Zhang Tao, Youguo's lead teacher, told the Global Times that Youguo has developed good habits living in the school and has made great academic progress since her enrollment.
"She is humble, friendly and gets along well with her classmates. Her English has improved a lot since coming to the school. Her favorite subjects are standard Chinese, English and music," said Zhang.
Youguo is athletic and loves to take part in extra-curricular activities including singing, basketball and running. She is also the champion shot-putter of the school, Zhang said.
"Once during a talk after school, she told me that she dreamed of becoming a music teacher in the future," Zhang told the Global Times. "It's a great way to realize her potential. I encourage her to pursue her dream and give back to the community."

Slackline World Champion Jaan Roose pushes the limits: "Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever"
DOHA, Qatar, July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Globally renowned Red Bull athlete Jaan Roose has completed the world's longest LED-lit, single-building slackline to cross one of Qatar's newest and most iconic architectural landmarks.
The Estonian national and three-time Slackline World Champion defied the odds by achieving the walk, titled "Sparkline," at the first attempt, walking the distance between the scimitar-shaped, Iconic Towers that are owned by Katara Hospitality and that are home to Raffles and Fairmont Doha in Lusail City.
Covering a distance of over 150 meters, the Sparkline walk is not only the longest on a single building, but also Jaan's second-highest walk to date at an elevation of more than 185 meters on a line just 2.5cm wide.
Speaking on the new world record set, Roose commented:
"When I first saw the Iconic Towers, I knew this was a building that I had to walk. Anything worth achieving comes with its fair share of challenges, and I'm proud to complete this one. Per metre walked, this line was my toughest ever. As an athlete, I'm always looking to push myself further and defy the odds. In this case the heat and wind conditions added a different element that I needed to react to and manage spontaneously while I was on the slackline. The warm LED lights and their extra weight also changed how the line interacted with me and my bodyweight. It's like skateboarding on a big heavy tree trunk rather than a light board."
"The Iconic Towers are an incredible place to be completing this feat and mark a very special visit for my first time in Qatar," Roose added.
The Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha are two luxury hotels that face each other in beautifully imposing structures shaped like scimitar swords. The towers are some of the latest to be added to Lusail City's expanding list of architectural marvels and create a distinct silhouette against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. Featuring the world's tallest chandelier, the Fairmont Doha is a masterclass in design, while the suite-only Raffles Doha showcases a spell-binding entrance, a personal butler service and fine-dining delights by world-renowned chef, Enrico Crippa.
Managing Director of Raffles and Fairmont Doha, Christian Hirt, expressed his excitement about the event being hosted at the Iconic Towers, saying "Raffles and Fairmont Doha have always celebrated the extraordinary, and this event embodies that spirit. The project serves to underline our commitment to showcasing high-calibre talents that defy the impossible. As this daring athlete 'Sparklines' across our towers, we hope it captivates the world and inspires others to push their boundaries."
Katara Hospitality's leadership commented: "We are proud of this activation, working alongside Qatar Tourism and Red Bull, as it exemplifies Katara Hospitality's commitment to utilizing the Iconic Towers as a powerful asset to promote tourism and enhance the destination's appeal. Through this event, we aim to showcase the extraordinary capabilities of the Iconic Towers and position them as a symbol of Qatar's excellence in hospitality and entertainment."
Commenting on the project with Jaan Roose, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: "Qatar has built a sporting legacy for itself and is now a true hub for international sporting events. We're delighted to support the exhilarating slackline walk event and champion renowned athletes. By fostering a culture of athleticism, we strive to create opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills and reach new heights in their athletic careers. In addition to its world-class sporting facilities, Qatar is home to a fresh and diverse suite of incredible hotels that make Qatar a global destination of choice for all travellers."
The Sparkline walk took place as part of an action-packed calendar of global events in Qatar. With several key sporting events expected to take place in 2023, including Qatar MotoGP, AFC Asian Cup, Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix, and Geneva International Motor Show, visitors can expect extraordinary sporting experiences in Qatar all year round.

This week, Canada and parts of the United States have confronted unprecedented declines in air quality due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, but people elsewhere in the world have long had to adjust and adapt to living with hazardous pollution levels. In some cases, those levels have improved over time.
NPR correspondents Anthony Kuhn and Eyder Peralta and freelance reporters Shalu Yadav and Kate Bartlett share what it's like in Beijing, Seoul, New Delhi, Mexico City and Johannesburg.
From Beijing to Seoul
I first visited Beijing in 1982, and lived there much of the time between 1992 and 2018.
In most of my years there, the pollution was terrible, especially in winter, although we didn't have ways to measure it. The air had an acrid, sulfurous smell, and soot was everywhere. To me, it was simply the cost of covering — and living — an epic story. People were less aware than they are now of the difference between weather and pollution, fog and smog.
Ahead of the 2008 Olympics, Beijing started to get rid of the coal stoves commonly used in the courtyard dwellings ("siheyuan" in Chinese) of Beijing's old city, and coal-fired heating plants, to help clean up the air ahead of the Games. Factories were moved farther and farther out of the city center. Coal-burning stoves in the courtyards were slowly replaced by electric heat.
While air quality in Beijing has improved in recent years, even now, occasional dust storms blow in from the Gobi desert, turning Beijing's skies yellow in spring and covering everything in gritty dust. AQI readings of 500 or worse are still occasional facts of life.
When I moved to Seoul in 2018, I cheerfully assumed I'd be leaving the air pollution behind. But it has followed me.
In China, we usually spoke of PM2.5, particulate matter that penetrates deep into the lungs. In Seoul, people call it "fine dust."
Much of it blows eastward from northern China over the Korean peninsula. But South Korea's automobiles and heavy industry add their own smog to the miasma — as does, reportedly, North Korea. The pollution is one reason South Koreans were already quite accustomed to wearing face masks, even before COVID.
South Korean and Chinese environmental officials have met numerous times to try to find a joint solution, but with little immediate or visible result. There are plenty of days of AQI over 100 or 150. There's little I can do but cancel outdoor activities, and wait until the air clears.
--Anthony Kuhn, NPR Seoul correspondent
New Delhi
My beloved city is famous for its heritage and Mughlai food — and infamous for its horrid pollution, which reaches AQI levels of 500 to 600 in the winter.
When it's that time of the year, my mornings start with opening my AQI app to check the level of pollution outside. That level decides whether I go for an outdoor run or find a safe indoor space in a gym where air purifiers are showcased as a premium facility.
But some days I don't need my AQI app. It's so bad that my eyes burn as soon as I wake up, I can taste the pollutants in my mouth and my lungs feel like an overworked machine that needs a break!
The pollution is so bad that some studies suggest that breathing it in is as dangerous as smoking about two dozen cigarettes a day.
"Craving a smoke? Come to Delhi!" is an overused joke that circulates in WhatsApp groups here, to share a light moment amid the gloom overcasting the sky and our lives in the city.
Jokes apart, it's a very serious health issue. An estimated 1.7 million Indians died of pollution-related disease in 2019.
It has in fact become a big factor in making my future decisions.
My husband and I have been intently discussing if we should plan our first baby and raise her in this city or move to another city. It's a scary thought — seeing our future kid gasping for breath, and suffering breathing problems like so many other kids in Delhi.
--Shalu Yadav, freelance reporter
Mexico City
Mexico City was once known as the most polluted city in the world.
The air quality here is still bad — on Thursday, the AQI reached 123, which is unhealthy for people with respiratory problems. And you feel it — your eyes get watery, your throat scratchy and the sky looks hazy. But in the 1990s and early 2000s, air quality would routinely hit the 200s. So, how did it get better?
Essentially, the government got tough on pollution with a complex system of countermeasures. Less efficient cars are allowed limited time on the road. And as soon as the air quality gets bad — either too high a concentration of ozone or particulate matter — the government orders even newer, more efficient cars off the streets. They order factories to reduce their output, food vendors are prohibited from using charcoal and road work stops.
If the air quality doesn't improve, the countermeasures get tougher. It often means residents can't drive to work or school, for example, so they have to walk, bike or take public transportation. If it gets bad enough, government offices shut down.
All of this has made a difference. In the 1990s, measures like these were put in place every month. Mexicans used to joke the air was so bad, so often, that birds would die mid-flight. These days, really bad days are rare. We have only a handful of environmental contingencies a year.
--Eyder Peralta, NPR Mexico City correspondent
Johannesburg
Africa is well known for its stunning sunsets and wide open skies – Paul Simon even sung about them in his song "Under African Skies."
So when I moved to Johannesburg as a correspondent, after previously working in heavily polluted Hong Kong, I found the fresh air in my leafy suburb a welcome change.
But in South Africa, one of the world's most unequal countries, air quality depends a lot on where you live.
According to the 2022 World Air Quality Report, the wealthy city of Cape Town had some of the best air quality in the country, while Thabazimbi, an iron mining town in northern Limpopo province had some of the worst.
Such disparities led environmental groups to sue the government last year in a groundbreaking case in which the judge ruled the unsafe levels of air pollution in the coal mining region of Mpumulanga were in breach of residents' constitutional rights to clean air.
Elsewhere on the continent, things are a mixed bag, with countries like Chad, Burkina Faso, Sudan and Egypt all showing high levels of pollution, while Angola and Kenya had relatively low levels.
One of the main impediments to monitoring air quality in Africa is the limited availability of reliable data, according to IQAir, with only 19 countries across the continent monitored.
Chad was found to be the most polluted of those, actually topping the global list as the country with the worst air quality in the world in 2022 – beating New Delhi. IQAir credited the country's regular dust storms as one of the reasons behind the poor levels of air quality.
