As we move into summer, more than two years since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the words “new wave” are probably the last thing anyone wants to hear. Yet it is true that recent UK data (as well as data from Florida and other places) indicates that sublineages of the Omicron variant, BA.4 and BA.5, are kicking off a new wave of cases. With the pandemic no longer dominating the news in the way it once did, it’s worth taking stock of where we are and what needs to be done.
After all, these variations on Omicron are not more severe, but they do have the capacity to reinfect people, even those who have had a previous version of Omicron. This is further evidence that reaching “herd immunity” (where enough people are vaccinated or infected to stop further circulation) against Covid-19 is probably impossible.
Looking over the past two years, and across different places, a wave of Covid-19 cases every three months seems to be the pattern. So it’s not surprising that this is happening again, and we should expect another wave this winter. While the idea of the disease circulating might be anxiety-provoking, we now have a wealth of scientific knowledge and tools to deploy. The focus should be on what these cases mean for long Covid and for hospitalisations. Plus, there’s good news: new research indicates Omicron is indeed milder than Delta by a substantial amount in terms of hospitalisations and deaths.
Of course, it would be better to avoid getting Covid-19 once, or repeatedly, given the increasing number of negative health outcomes the disease is linked to. The challenge is how best to do that, balanced against the costs entailed in avoiding Covid completely: the vector for this disease is other humans who we (largely) enjoy seeing, being close to, or must see for work reasons. Humans are social beings, and for many people a large part of our quality of life is mixing with others, as seen by the rapid return to festivals, celebrations and social events.
Forgive me if you’d heard this one before, but masks and ventilation are still important measures we can take. Wearing a medical-grade mask is an effective way of protecting yourself from respiratory infections, especially in crowded settings. That said, we also need to recognise that they are costly, and can be uncomfortable if worn for long stretches of time. In addition, masks interfere with wanting to see people’s faces, engage with their emotions and interact at an intimate level; child specialists have raised concerns about the impact on child speech and emotional development. Indoor ventilation is important in reducing transmission. However, ventilation alone is unlikely to stop a wave of infections: you only have to look at Shanghai and the difficulty Chinese authorities there have had in stopping the spread of Omicron in a highly controlled lockdown setting.
The cost-benefit calculation has shifted for many people over time, as other more pressing priorities have taken over. Avoiding infection in 2020 by restricting interactions to certain people and limited settings was understandable, given there were no vaccines or therapies. The cost was high, financially and socially, but waiting for a vaccine meant there was a payoff to being cautious and delaying infection. Analysis from the Financial Times indicates that for most people in England, Covid-19 has become less lethal than seasonal flu because of the high levels of immunity after vaccination and the reduced severity of Omicron compared with Delta. In 2022, most people want to interact and live life as they see best (in a democracy where freedom is valued), given that disease severity has been blunted with vaccines.
What does this mean for all of us? The UK should be planning to roll out boosters to the entire population this autumn, using an age and risk factor priority scheme (instead of just to people over 75, those in care homes and those with weakened immune systems: these are the people covered by the current spring booster scheme). Antiviral supply should be put in place in pharmacies and GPs, working towards a “test to treat” scheme where soon after testing positive, those who are in vulnerable and elderly groups, for whom vaccines might be less effective, can get access to effective treatment early on.
Another important concern is long Covid, which can cause months of illness and suffering. We still have no clear indication of who is likely to get this condition and who will recover quickly. Here, a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms and treatments is vital. How can we support recovery and rehabilitation? Research has shown that people who were fully vaccinated were half as likely to get long Covid as those who had one or no vaccines.
And what does this mean for winter, when we expect the next wave to hit? While vaccines and antivirals have pushed the hospitalisation rate down, it’s equally important to invest in nurses, doctors, hospital staff and beds. After all, the NHS is already stretched this summer. The consequence will be unnecessary and preventable deaths, and staff working in difficult conditions unless the health service gets what it needs.
Public health is about all the factors that help someone live a healthy and happy life. And while strong opinions continue to be voiced on whether we can “live with Covid” or not, the fact is that almost every country on this planet is learning to manage this disease among the plethora of other problems that we face as humans. The situation is complex with no simple fix. No, we haven’t solved Covid, but we are getting smarter and better at managing this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This article examines the psychological effects of falls for older adults through the lens of identity and suggests these may be integrated in the assessment and management of older patients within acute care and rehabilitation settings post-fall. An illustrative vignette is described to demonstrate this approach. CONCLUSION: Falls in older adults are complex phenomena which can lead to an identity threat, sometimes manifest as psychological symptoms and poor engagement in post-fall rehabilitation. A psychiatric formulation which incorporates an older person's self-identity and agency may inform interventions to address psychological and behavioural sequelae of falls.

Cadillac has done to the Escalade something it should have done nearly two decades ago: give its full-size SUV the V treatment. Admittedly, the ethos of the American luxury brand's performance arm has become somewhat muddled in recent years, what with the V lineup now split between tamer V-badged models and full-on V Blackwing high-performance variants, such as the 10Best-winning CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing. But there's nothing confusing about the new 2023 Escalade-V. Its mission is one of power and prestige.
We certainly won't call the Escalade-V tame, as it packs a 682-hp wallop from a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8—a hand-built mill that's closely related to the 668-hp supercharged V-8 found in the CT5-V Blackwing, though the engine in the SUV trades the sedan's 1.7-liter Roots-type blower for a larger 2.7-liter unit. With the help of standard all-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission, this blown V-8 propels the standard-wheelbase Escalade-V to 60 mph in a claimed 4.4 seconds. Opting for the heavier, longer-wheelbase ESV version supposedly adds 0.1 second to that time. If Cadillac's acceleration figures hold up in our testing, then the V should cut over 1.5 seconds off the regular Escalade's 60-mph run. A recent test of a 6270-pound Escalade ESV with the default 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 saw it hit that mark in 5.9 seconds.
Set aside the stopwatch and the Escalade-V feels properly quick from the driver's seat. A tap of the model's V mode button in front of the shift lever activates this brute's highest dynamic settings and engages its launch-control feature, which holds the engine's revs at around 1500 rpm when the driver has both pedals mashed to the floor. Lift off the left pedal and the immediate acceleration provided by the torque-rich V-8—Cadillac claims 80 percent of the Escalade-V's 653 pound-feet of torque is available from 2000 rpm—is akin to the initial surge of a moderately powerful electric vehicle.
Unlike an EV, though, the subtle whine of the Escalade-V's supercharger and the raucous wail of its active exhaust system brings a symphonic quality to its straight-line acceleration. Even at idle, the V's quad pipes emit a menacing burble (a Stealth mode does let you quiet things down for the school pickup lane). At speed, the system exhales with loud crackles and pops when you abruptly lift off the accelerator.
Cadillac has also altered the Escalade's suspension and braking systems for V duty. Tweaks to its air springs and adaptive dampers lessen this elephantine SUV's body motions with little sacrifice to its ride quality. And six-piston Brembo front brake calipers endow the V with a firmer and more responsive brake pedal, though its initial bite comes off as a bit too grabby for our tastes.
While the V treatment does make for a better-handling Escalade—which in standard form we'll grant is already one of the more athletic examples of its kind—the enjoyment that comes from being behind the wheel of this body-on-frame Caddy still falls short of that offered by unibody competitors such as the Mercedes-AMG GLS63 and the BMW Alpina XB7. Both of those quicker and nimbler Germans can hit the mile-a-minute mark in under four seconds and be outfitted with sticky summer tires from the factory. The Escalade-V, on the other hand, rides exclusively on all-season rubber. While the 22-inch Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 tires of the Escalade-V ESV we drove in Arizona offered enough grip to handle the sweeping corners around Theodore Roosevelt Lake without protest, their less aggressive compound seems unbefitting of a vehicle with this much power.
Then again, Cadillac is not pushing the Escalade-V as an SUV alternative to its sports sedans. Given that most high-performance SUVs spend far more time driving around town than tearing up twisty roads, the brand's decision to temper the Escalade-V's peak handling prowess with a comfortable ride and three-season tires seems like a smart move for the real world.
However, this approach does limit the appeal of the $149,990 Escalade-V (add $3000 for the ESV model) when a less powerful yet similarly equipped Escalade Sport Platinum costs over $40,000 less. Sure, the Sport Platinum lacks the V's supercharged thrust and sound, but those qualities are largely irrelevant when you let General Motors' Super Cruise hands-free driving assist, which is standard on both Escalade-V models, take control of the steering, brakes, and accelerator on certain divided highways.
Nor does the Escalade-V's styling relay its greater potency, as its model-specific bumpers, wheels, badges, and red-painted brake calipers fail to make it look notably different from other Escalade models. In practice, the V model is a sleeper, which frankly is a bit out of character for a vehicle whose commercial success has come in large part from its ostentatious design. It's taken Cadillac nearly 20 years to give the Escalade the V treatment. Let's hope the brand doesn't need as much time to produce an additional variant (or two) that both looks and feels as over-the-top as the 682-hp V-8 under the Escalade-V's hood. | https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a40254654/2023-cadillac-escalade-v-drive/ | 2022-06-13T07:52:47Z | https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a40254654/2023-cadillac-escalade-v-drive/ | true | 1 |
According to Benzinga Pro data, during Q1, Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock DM posted sales of $43.71 million. Earnings were up 1.72%, but Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock still reported an overall loss of $69.94 million. In Q4, Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock brought in $56.68 million in sales but lost $71.17 million in earnings.
What Is Return On Capital Employed?
Earnings data without context is not clear and can be difficult to base trading decisions on. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) helps to filter signal from noise by measuring yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Generally, a higher ROCE suggests successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. In Q1, Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock posted an ROCE of -0.06%.
It is important to keep in mind that ROCE evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but does not account for factors that could affect earnings and sales in the near future.
ROCE is a powerful metric for comparing the effectiveness of capital allocation for similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and, ultimately, earnings per share (EPS) growth.
For Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock, a negative ROCE ratio of -0.06% suggests that management may not be effectively allocating their capital. Effective capital allocation is a positive indicator that a company will achieve more durable success and favorable long-term returns; poor capital allocation can be a leech on the performance of a company over time.
Upcoming Earnings Estimate
Desktop Metal, Inc. Class A Common Stock reported Q1 earnings per share at $-0.14/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $-0.13/share.

Trump Issues Forceful Response to Primetime Jan. 6 Hearing: 'Our Country Is in Such Trouble'
Former President Donald Trump posted a blazing response on Friday after the House committee investigating the Capitol incursion held a primetime hearing Thursday night.
“So the Unselect Committee of political HACKS refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements, refuses to talk of the Election Fraud and Irregularities that took place on a massive scale,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“Our Country is in such trouble!”
The Thursday hearing was aimed at Trump, with committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming blaming the events of Jan. 6, 2021, on the former president.
“Those who invaded our Capitol and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President Trump had told them: that the election was stolen, and that he was the rightful president,” she said, according to The Hill.
“President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.”
Among those whose video testimony was shown was Ivanka Trump, the former president’s daughter and an adviser in the Trump White House.
“I respect Attorney General Barr, so I accepted what he was saying,” she said, referring to former Attorney General William Barr’s contention that Trump was never going to be able to prove his claims of election fraud, Politico reported.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!),” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Another Friday post responded to the allegation that Trump had supported calls from protesters for former Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged.
“I NEVER said, or even thought of saying, ‘Hang Mike Pence.’ This is either a made up story by somebody looking to become a star, or FAKE NEWS!” Trump said.
Trump had lashed out at the House committee in a series of earlier posts, describing the hearings as a “one sided, totally partisan, POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!”
“The Unselect Committee didn’t spend one minute studying the reason that people went to Washington, D.C., in massive numbers, far greater than the Fake News Media is willing to report, or that the Unselects are willing to even mention, because January 6th was not simply a protest, it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.
“It was about an Election that was Rigged and Stolen, and a country that was about to go to HELL..& look at our Country now!” Trump wrote.
Trump said he wanted extra security for the rally that took place on Jan. 6.
“The Unselect Committee has now learned that I, as President, suggested & offered up to 20,000 National Guard, or troops, be deployed in D.C. because it was felt that the crowd was going to be very large,” he wrote.
“Crazy Nancy Pelosi turned down the offer, she didn’t like the way it looked. Likewise, the Mayor of D.C. Had they taken up the offer, there would have been no January 6th. … The hearing is another political HOAX to counter Inflation, etc.”
Trump also linked the House panel to the disproven allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia in 2016.
“The Unselect Committee of political Thugs, essentially the same group who brought you the now fully debunked and discredited RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX (and many others!), refused to study and report on the massive amount of irrefutable evidence, much of it recently produced, that shows the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen,” Trump wrote.
“They want NOTHING to do with that topic because they cannot win on the facts. CANCEL & DENY, call it ‘THE BIG LIE,’ is all they can do. Corrupt Politicians!”

The title of coach means many things to many people. To some, it means a manager and leader whose responsibility includes making sure that the team competes and wins while others may see it as a teacher of skills and conditioning. A coach is a person they trust to do what’s best for the team. I think coaches are seen as mentors and role models. You see, although a coach is basically synonymous with sports, it can be a tutor, advisor, motivator, and more often than not, someone you can turn to and ask for help. To me, being a coach means having a positive impact on your players by setting an example and always being there for them.
For many years I’ve had the greatest opportunity to write both sports articles and columns. They say that to bring the best out of your writing, you write about what matters to you most and that’s where you find the inspiration that shapes the stories you write.
Friends and family would ask where I first discovered my passion to coach. The answer was easy, I found inspiration in my first coach, my dad, Jesus S. Rivera. We lost our dad the other day. His passing will leave a huge void in our lives.
Mangilao Youth Center
He was a great coach, not only for me but for many others, especially in the village of Mangilao. Back in the 1970s, each village had a youth recreational center, a place where kids throughout the village can drop in and participate in a variety of recreational and sporting events and other activities. It was a great place to hang out, be with friends and stay out of trouble. Coach Jess, along with coach Joe Munoz, were the Mangilao Youth Center coordinators.
Every night, they would open up the doors to the youth center and welcome all the village kids. The youth center provided a positive outlet where we could participate in organized sporting events like basketball, baseball, mini soccer and court hockey to name a few. There were also the ping-pong and pool tournaments. The job didn’t pay much but that didn’t matter to coach Jess. His compensation was measured in the joy he brought in helping kids throughout the village.
There was much I learned under his coaching tutelage. He embraced the role. He created an environment where each member of the team felt that their role was just as important as the other. He taught us sportsmanship and to be proud of our performances regardless of the outcome of the game. He fostered a winning environment as he knew how to bring out the best in all of us. I had fun playing for my dad, as did my brother and sisters. The lessons we learned transcended beyond the field and court. He instilled in all of us the value of being authentic, caring and considerate. He was the best coach we ever had.
I became a coach because of my dad. His coaching style became my coaching style. I coached my kids because he coached his kids.
Pathway to success
Although I am not as active in the coaching arena as I used to be, I enjoyed the opportunity to help kids to learn how to work as a team, to reach their full potential, not only on the field or court but more importantly in their lives. It’s not easy being a coach. Showing the pathway to success and leading a group of kids in achieving that success can be arduous work, but equally satisfying.
Throughout the years, we would often run into people, many if not all, with families. They would thank coach Jess for believing in them, for helping them by providing a sanctuary that kept them busy and away from any negative influences. I was proud of coach Jess, he truly helped many kids, our family included.
Coach Jess played an important role in shaping youth’s minds back in those days. To many, he was something, to us, he was everything. To many, he will be remembered as coach Jess. To us, he’ll be remembered as the best great grandfather, grandfather and most importantly, dad.
Coach Jess, thank you for what you’ve meant in our lives. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of golf courses up there, so have fun. Know that we all miss you and that every chance we get, we too, will coach it forward. | https://www.guampdn.com/sports/coach-it-forward-remembering-jesus-s-rivera/article_157f2276-ead6-11ec-a415-3b4b4e13c579.html | 2022-06-13T08:02:48Z | https://www.guampdn.com/sports/coach-it-forward-remembering-jesus-s-rivera/article_157f2276-ead6-11ec-a415-3b4b4e13c579.html | true | 1 |
‘I miss the Big Mac!’ Russians mourn as knock-off McDonald’s replacement opens doors
RUSSIANS have lamented the loss of one of McDonald's signature dishes following a "curious" rebranding of the restaurant.
Ukraine MP says Russia are moving ‘slowly and steady’
McDonald’s sold its restaurants in Russia due to the “humanitarian crisis” and “unpredictable operating environment” caused by Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The hasty rebranding of the restaurant as “Tasty and that’s it” has seen the loss of the Golden Arches and the Big Mac - along with other changes.
After a three-month wait, Russians can now feast at the Kremlin’s version of McDonald’s, but not all Muscovites were thrilled.
One protester held up a sign which read “Bring Back the Big Mac” at a press conference marking the event.
Another Muscovite, an aviation student named Dmitry, lamented the loss of his favourite dish.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: “It’s a shame. I will really miss the Big Mac because it was my favourite food.”
There were other signs of a hasty rebranding. Ketchup and other sauce packets had the signature McDonald's logo covered in black while containers for fries and drinks were plain white.
The changes did not stop hundreds of Muscovites from queuing to get their first taste of the American fast food in three months.
Sergei, 28, told The Telegraph: ““The atmosphere is great. The new name is not very usual but it is nothing to worry about.”
Employees reportedly wore uniforms similar to the old McDonald’s outfits, however, the Golden Arches have been replaced with a new logo - a green circle overlaid with a red circle and two white stripes with stylised burgers and fries.

McDonald’s has a place in both Russian and Soviet cultural history.
The first McDonald’s opened in the Soviet Union January 31, 1990 and marked a significant event.
Thousands of Muscovites lined up in Pushkin Square at the time to get their first taste of American fast food.
This flagship restaurant has been given a light redecoration inside and the new restaurant has been keen to assure customers that the taste will remain the same.
“Tasty and that’s it” has marketed itself under the slogan “The name changes but love stays”.

Muscovite Galina, 55, told The Telegraph that she had been dining in the restaurant since it opened in the 1990s.
She said: “The old name is better. I don't understand this new one.”
She added: “I remember it opening in the 1990s. It was satisfying with good quality food. I am glad it has survived now.”
McDonald’s sold its more than 800 restaurants in the country to Russian businessman Alexander Govor.
In Moscow, 15 restaurants are being rebranded and opened around the capital with more than 200 set to open by the end of June.
All 850 restaurants are set to open by the end of the summer. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1624516/ukraine-war-russians-mourn-mccdonalds-big-mac-kremlin-knock-off | 2022-06-13T08:05:54Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1624516/ukraine-war-russians-mourn-mccdonalds-big-mac-kremlin-knock-off | false | 1 |
Push to lift gay blood donation ban amid shortage
By Dana Daniel
Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is considering changes to allow more gay and bisexual men to donate plasma, but equality advocates are pushing for all blood donors to be screened on their sexual activity.
Men and transgender people who have sex with partners designated male at birth are not allowed to donate blood unless they have been celibate for three months and Just.Equal Australia says it is time for this to change.
“I’ve been with my husband for 12 years, and I just don’t understand why my blood would be deemed as unsafe,” Thomas Buxereau, from the advocacy group’s Let Us Give campaign, told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
“I’m receiving emails weekly from Lifeblood, urging me to donate and detailing how the blood supplies are low and that ‘every drop counts’ ... It’s extremely frustrating and hurtful.”
Just.Equal Australia’s Rodney Croome said the ban on all sexually active gay men donating blood was discriminatory.
“It stigmatises gay men as a threat to public health, and that kind of stigma really belongs in the past,” Croome said. “It makes no sense that two men can get married, but we still have this policy.”
Let Us Give will launch a campaign on Tuesday, World Blood Donor Day, to replace the abstinence rule with an individual risk assessment, following the lead of countries like Canada, France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Under the proposal, all blood donors would be asked if they had had anal sex with a new partner in the past three months, and those who said yes would not be able to donate due to being at increased risk of HIV.
Dr Sharon Dane, a social psychologist who has researched same-sex relationships, said asking every donor this question would ensure that Red Cross Lifeblood could “get us as much safe blood as possible” while avoiding “banning a whole group of individuals because their risk is slightly higher”.
“The vast majority of gay men do not have HIV, and some people engaging in heterosexual sex do have HIV,” she said.
The NSW Kirby Institute’s most recent HIV surveillance report found that male-to-male sex accounted for 67 per cent of HIV notifications in 2020 with 426 cases, compared with 155 from heterosexual sex (24 per cent).
Dr Dane said while gay men were at higher risk, the overall numbers in both groups were low and men who had sex with men were more likely to get tested regularly.
A spokeswoman for Australian Red Cross Lifeblood said the organisation was committed to making it easier for more people to donate but research did not support a move to individual risk assessment in Australia.
“We understand these rules exclude some groups ... We hear the hurt, frustration, and the anger,” the spokeswoman said. “We’re exploring whether it may be possible to further reduce the three-month waiting period for plasma donations, [which] undergo processing that reduces the risk of possible infections.”
Plasma is the liquid component of blood and is used to make immunoglobulin, given intravenously to help people with cancer or weakened immune systems fight off infections, and albumin, used to treat or prevent shock following serious injury, bleeding, surgery, or burns.
Croome said changing the rules applying to gay and bisexual men for plasma donation alone “won’t substantially increase the amount of safe blood available or eliminate discrimination” and was an approach Canada had rejected.
In April, the Therapeutic Goods Administration approved Lifeblood’s request to lift the ban on almost 750,000 people donating blood after living in the United Kingdom for six months or longer, put in place due to concerns about the impact of the country’s “mad cow” epidemic.
Australia has just over half a million active blood donors which equates to about 3.5 per cent of the population and Lifeblood is urging more eligible people to donate as the coronavirus pandemic and NSW floods have affected supply.
In April, the service issued a warning that supply had dropped dangerous low, with only 1.5 days worth of the universal blood type O negative and 1.9 days of other blood types available.
Let Us Give estimates that individual risk assessment of blood donors would enable an additional 13,542 people to donate and source an extra 25,459 litres of donor blood per year, enough to save up to 162,504 lives.
Health Minister Mark Butler said Lifeblood would need to make a submission to the TGA if it wished to make further changes to blood donation rules.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s capital has put school online in one of its major districts amid a new COVID-19 outbreak linked to a nightclub, while life has yet to return to normal in Shanghai despite the lifting of a more than two-month-long lockdown.
China has stuck to its “zero-COVID” policy requiring mass testing, quarantines and the sequestering of anyone who has come into contact with an infected person in concentrated locations where hygiene is generally poor.
A total of 166 cases have been linked to the Heaven Supermarket club in the downtown Gongti nightlife area after an infected person visited there Thursday. Of those, 145 were customers, while the rest were staff or people with whom customers had later contact.
The entire area, along with the adjacent Sanlitun shopping and dining complex, was shut down until further notice.
The outbreak prompted authorities in the sprawling Chaoyang district to put school back online, with the exception of students taking middle and high school placement exams. Sports gatherings in the city have also been put on hold.
Chaoyang has ordered daily mass testing, with long lines forming and wait times of two hours or more.
In Shanghai, 502 people have been linked to three positive tests detected June 9 among patrons of the Red Rose Beauty Salon. The individuals involved come from 15 districts across the city of 25 million people, prompting the first large-scale restrictions since the lockdown was formally ended June 1.
With mass testing and restrictions on movement back in force, streets and supermarkets emptied again over the weekend.
Failure to undergo testing will lead to a yellow code on a person's health status app, forbidding them access to all public places.
Most students remain at home and all but a few restaurants are open only for takeout. Many customers simply partake of their food and drink on the steps beside blooming flower bushes outside the establishments.
While 22 million Shanghai residents were released from lockdown almost two weeks ago, 220,000 people are still restricted to their homes under a rule requiring that no positive cases are found within their residential compounds for more than 10 days. Another 600,000 are in control zones, where their movements are restricted within their compounds.
Corrugated steel fences and other barriers continue to block off neighborhoods and businesses, leading to further discontent and complaints from residents who remain in lockdown.
The strict implementation of lockdowns, along with a lack of information and poor distribution of food and other daily necessities, has led to rarely seen displays of anger and desperation. Residents have confronted workers and police who have become known as “big whites" for the protective gear they wear, circulated protest videos online and coordinated nightly screaming and pot-banging events to let off steam.
The loosening of restrictions led to an exodus of non-Shanghai residents, including foreigners, who had found themselves trapped in the lockdown.
Despite the recent outbreak, Beijing reported just 51 new cases on Monday, 22 of them asymptomatic. City residents are still undergoing regular testing — mostly every other day — and must wear masks and swipe a mobile phone app to enter public places and facilitate case tracing.
China has maintained its “zero-COVID” policy despite considerable economic costs and an assertion from the head of the World Health Organization that the policy isn't sustainable.
Nationwide, China reported just 143 cases, almost all in Beijing and Shanghai. The death toll from the outbreak in mainland China remained static at 5,226.

Something strange, rare, and interesting is happening in the stars above. Here’s what that means for your weekly horoscope for the week of 13-19 June 2022.
This June 2022 horoscope shows that as Saturn continues its karmic retrograde in the heavens above, there is a rather strange, rare, yet interesting trio that’s creating a buzz in the cosmos. Venus has entered into a curious threesome with Rahu and Uranus. The former encourages her to be a femme fatale and lure us into doing crazy things in the name of love, while the latter sends her in a tizzy – causing us to explore unconventional means to express and experience love and all its glories (and horrors). All this, with a powerful and mighty full moon this week, shall open up numerous emotional and psychic floodgates. However, worry not, for the stars have beautiful messages to help us navigate through this time.
June 2022 Horoscope for all zodiac signs
Aries June 2022 Horoscope
This week is all about giving a voice to your thoughts. Whether it’s a brand new idea or a flash of inspiration, or even if it’s an emotion that’s been uncharacteristically pent up for a while – express it with all your heart. At the end of the day, our thoughts create our reality. However, when they’re suppressed within the dark crevices of our minds – they become toxic and end up feeding into our energy shield, causing us to feel drained and depleted all the more. Thus, it’s always better to express ourselves instead of repressing the way we feel. If it’s hard for you to put them into words, try writing them out, maybe even paint them – but whatever you do, get them out.
Remember, the fact that you have this thought within your mind and/or your heart, means there’s someone out there who is meant to hear them out. Be it a friend, a lover, a coworker, a superior, or even a family member. For all you know – maybe it’s even your therapist (whose job is essentially to hear you out). Thus, never hesitate to share what’s going on within your heart and mind.
Taurus June 2022 Horoscope
This is a week where you have to use every trick up your sleeve, every tool in your arsenal, and every talent and skill you’ve been born with or learned in the past. No, this isn’t about being overworked. This is about finding creative solutions to everything that ‘The Universe’ throws your way, in a way that’s wholesome and self-sufficient. Think of it as a way where ‘Divine Forces’ are testing you, not only to show how much you’ve learned from the past, but also as a way to help you discover your true strength and capabilities, and get you out of the mentality where you second-guess or short-change yourself.
It may seem a tad drastic, but remember, you are a stubborn bull! Thus, the Universe needs to grab you by the horns in order for you to ‘see the light’. Just remember that you don’t need to overwhelm yourself in order to prove your worth. Take all the rest, and mini-breaks you need to pump yourself back into action, and never skimp on your sleep. Most importantly, do not be afraid of asking for help!
Gemini June 2022 Horoscope
This is a week for you to allow yourself to have some fun without any traces of guilt, shame, or even the need to lie about or hide it from others. ‘The Universe’ wants you to let your hair down, and gallop away into the night, dance merrily under the fireworks, and not have a care in the world, nor worry about the consequences the next morning brings. You need such moments of wild abandon, because more than anything, it’ll give your over-thinking-ever-anxious mind a rest. This will enable you to gain greater clarity of life and your path ahead.
The more you gain that clarity and understanding, the more you’ll be more forgiving of yourself and others. This way, you’ll find yourself not being so easily triggered by the world around you. No, peace does not mean boring! In fact, the more you find yourself at peace, the more you’ll be able to see and appreciate all the things that make the world unique and beautiful.
Cancer June 2022 Horoscope
This week is all about finding the things that make life wholesome and meaningful and appreciating them for what they are. This is a time for you to learn to see the beauty in everything that’s around you. It’s important to remember that ‘beauty’ isn’t the same thing as how useful something (or someone) is to you. Nor can it be measured by any tangible worth of any sort. ‘Beauty’ in its truest essence is the ability to exist at its true self, without having the need to prove its worth and self. Thus, we learn a powerful lesson in humility, when we start appreciating the beauty that is around us. The first place to start could perhaps be the mirror.
No, that’s not being narcissistic at all. In fact, it’s actually the opposite. Narcissists have no empathy. Seeing beauty in your reflection (without measuring it to any societal standard), is basically learning to accept what you see as part of great divine intelligence that’s sparked into existence. In other words, love yourself for just being you, and marvel at that fact. Soon, when you’ve got a hang of this, you’ll start seeing the powerful beauty in others around you, as well as, in all the twists and turns along your life path.
Leo June 2022 Horoscope
This week may bring about the temptation to charge full speed ahead, especially with your words. However, ‘The Universe’ advises you to be cautious while doing so. Not only because you never know how your words may affect people, but you also never know who is actually listening. Thus, a little mindfulness would be in order. Furthermore, it will also prevent people from using your words against you by twisting their meaning and blowing things out of proportion by changing the original context.
Beyond just the spoken word, this is also a week where it would be wiser to have things in writing so that a proper record is being kept. The sensitivity of those around you is quite heightened this week, and the last thing we would want is something minor escalating beyond the point of no return. Staying quiet doesn’t mean you have nothing to say, it means they’re not ready to hear your thoughts. However, if things go beyond a point, and holding yourself back isn’t working – then just let it all out! Just be mindful of it.
Virgo June 2022 Horoscope
Sometimes, it’s okay to just pause for a moment, and take a breather. Beyond just all the crazy things that are happening around you, the stuff that’s also happening with your mind and your heart, can be incredibly overwhelming – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Hence, you should not feel guilty at all about just taking a much-needed and well-deserved break. Doing so will allow your body and internal system (especially your digestion) to heal and recover, as well as, enable you to be more effective and efficient when you return back to ‘active mode.’
Taking a break can also provide an incredible amount of clarity. You’ll be able to see not just who you are, but also, where you are in life. You’ll discover the kind of progress you’ve been making, and will also have the bandwidth to determine whether you’re still on your true path, or if any deviations or detours have happened. So go ahead – take a break!
Libra June 2022 Horoscope
If life is an eternal balancing act, then it’s time that you find the beauty in both sides of the spectrum that tip things over. This way, at least you’ll be able to turn this balancing act into a joyful dance, which will not only be a lot of fun, but you’ll be able to dazzle the world – as they think, “I don’t know how they do that!” Easier said than done, especially when one of the things throwing you askew is sheer drudgery in the most painful way. However, if you keep viewing something as a miserable experience, then it’ll just become all the direr. A shift in perception can work miracles if done right.
This doesn’t mean that you have to fake enjoying it. Life has taught us all about the sheer disadvantages of faking any kind of pleasure – in the short, as well as, in the long term. It’s all about focusing on one aspect of it that is good. A lone rose blooming in the thickest and thorniest briar can make even the most thin-skinned individual brave enough to bear cuts and bruises only to savour its sweet fragrance and they’ll admit that it was worth it. Thus, find your ‘rose’ in your ‘thick and thorny briars’, and see how every dire and dysfunctional situation becomes all the more a pleasant experience.
Scorpio June 2022 Horoscope
This is a powerful week for you to embody the overall theme of – ‘refreshing’. It can be as simple as increasing your water intake – because let’s face it, in this heat, a cool glass of water can be incredibly refreshing. It can also take the form of self-care, like a ‘refreshing’ trip to the spa, or getting a ‘freshen-up’ facial at the salon, or perhaps even taking a dip in a pool to beat the heat. For some of you, it may even involve a small trip to cooler and ‘refreshing’ climates. However, the deep meaning of this theme is actually about opening up emotionally to the people who are closest to you in your heart and learning to form stronger and deeper loving bonds with them.
Yes, the earlier suggestions will help, but the truth of the matter is, those are mere bandages that perhaps can help to a certain extent, but won’t fully heal the bigger wounds. This is a powerful week for you to actually take time to heal big deep wounds of your heart, and in turn, heal the various relationships within your life – especially the relationship with yourself. The above-mentioned self-care tips can come in handy, for they’ll not only help smoothen out the process, but they’ll enable you to articulate and understand your emotions without any fear or hesitation, and will help make the healing journey all the more empowering.
Sagittarius June 2022 Horoscope
This week, ‘The Universe’ wants you to be honest about how you truly feel. Sure, it may help to rant and rave about all the things that are troubling you at the present, but it’s important to understand that sometimes we use that as a way to cover up something that’s far deeper and perhaps even far darker than what we are willing to face at the moment. Thus, we use our rants as a smokescreen to try to project a more confident and nonchalant demeanour, and give the perception that everything’s fine. Let’s not hide behind petty issues that we enjoy blowing out of proportion. Let’s be brave enough to express what’s really bothering us.
This can be quite the scary thing for us to do, especially when we’ve spent a large chunk of our lives running away from actually dealing with our emotions or just overall messiness. However, aren’t you tired of all that running? Too much of it can lead to an injury – emotional ones can be way harder to heal than physical one. Why not use this week as a chance for you to heal, and hopefully that leads to a series of subtle, and not-so-subtle changes within you, and all around you – that make you realise that you are safe to express your vulnerable side and that it doesn’t make you weak in any way.
Capricorn June 2022 Horoscope
This is a week for you to discover your light. This is a powerful time for you to not just see, but also understand, acknowledge, and appreciate your true worth, and value yourself for all that you are. You’ve spent far too much time short-changing yourself and believing yourself unworthy of good things. That has to stop now, for ‘The Universe’ has big plans for you, and it believes in you to see them through successfully. All that’s missing is your own belief in yourself and your abilities. Let’s take advantage of the time we have this week, and start building ourselves up, because if we are not our own biggest cheerleaders, no one else will be.
Let’s strip ourselves of all the negative perceptions and limiting self-beliefs that we’ve been carrying due to past traumas. This can be quite hard, so do consider working with a qualified therapist and/or healer to help you out. Once that is done, start seeing yourself for all that you are, and understand all that untapped potential within you that’s just waiting to burst through and help you thrive and flourish. This may not happen overnight, but this week is a perfect time to start.
Aquarius June 2022 Horoscope
Now is a powerful time to build your connection with a special someone in your life. It can be a romantic partner, your marital spouse, or perhaps even a close friend, or a member of your family. This is a week where, ‘The Universe’ wants you to focus on that special someone – especially if they have been feeling neglected off late. Take some time to rediscover who they are, and why you loved them in the first place. Appreciate their growth – where they came from to where they are now – and the immense strength and courage it took them to take such a journey. You’ll be amazed how even the smallest act of kindness towards them can work like magic on their well-being.
It’s great if you have more than one special someone in your life, however, one of them is definitely feeling your absence – be it physically or emotionally. It’s important that you reach out and make the first move towards strengthening your bonds. Take an interest in their lives and find pleasure in knowing what excites them. Do not fake an interest in those things, but at least learn to appreciate how it makes them feel. However, while it’s important to show them that you care for them, it’s also important to ensure that you establish clean and clear boundaries and talk them out honestly.
Pisces June 2022 Horoscope
Sometimes, we have no other option than to be brave and face our fears. No matter how much we try to delay the process, no matter how much time we spend contemplating our next move at life’s crossroads. Eventually, we have to make the move and go on forth. We can either do it by our own free will, or ‘The Universe’ will subtly pull strings behind the curtain, and cause events to happen around us that force us to make a move. The difference between the two is that the former makes us stronger, and gives us a chance to master our destiny. The latter makes us a slave to the unseen forces. So, do you wish to be the master or the slave? Answering that question can perhaps change the course of your life.
What you need to remember is that you are not helpless. You know this! Even in your darkest and most dire moments – you know that you aren’t helpless. The sun will always shine after the darkest of the nights. Now, you just have to decide whether you’d prefer waiting for the sun to rise, whilst you suffer through the night – or whether you would rather shine your own light to overcome the burden of the dark night. You have the potential to do the latter in tremendous capacities, but you have to want to be able to do so. | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/living/wellness/weekly-horoscope-13-19-june-2022/ | 2022-06-13T08:17:42Z | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/living/wellness/weekly-horoscope-13-19-june-2022/ | false | 8 |
Why Bitcoin sees most of its gains while US traders are asleep

‘Immunity is waning’: Andrews seeks fourth shot for hospital workers
Premier Daniel Andrews will push the federal government for all healthcare workers in hospitals across Victoria to get a fourth dose of coronavirus vaccine, amid concerns over waning immunity.
He revealed his intention to approach the Commonwealth over the second booster shots on Monday, saying hospital chiefs had raised it as a “real priority” following a recent spate of COVID-19 outbreaks seeded by staff bringing the virus into work.
“The CEO of Barwon Health, a nurse herself, made it very clear to me that a number of their COVID outbreaks in their hospital had been via staff bringing the virus in unknowingly and [despite] following all the right protocols,” he said.
“Some of their immunity is waning, so getting them fourth jabs as fast as possible is very important to help keep COVID out of the hospital. That’ll be something that I’ll be raising with the Commonwealth as soon as I can.”
There are no plans to mandate a fourth dose for healthcare workers in Victoria. However, it is mandatory for workers in healthcare, aged care, disability, emergency services, correctional facilities, quarantine accommodation and food processing and distribution to be “up to date” with their vaccination doses.
At present, this means they require a third dose to work on site and must have it within a set time frame once they are eligible.
Experts say boosters have been critical in reducing serious illness and fighting spread of the virus, with mounting evidence that the third dose provides ongoing protection, particularly against the vaccine-evasive Omicron variant.
Victoria’s front-line healthcare workers were among the first to be immunised against coronavirus and their third-dose boosters were fast-tracked and mandated during the Omicron wave.
“When you’re the very first cab off the rank getting vaccinated ... you’re the first ones to become eligible, from an immunity waning point of view, for the fourth dose,” Andrews said.
“So we are going to do something about it ... and try to make sure that all of our staff have got access to a fourth dose as quickly as possible.”
Andrews will urge the nation’s chief vaccine advisers to consider including healthcare workers in the cohort eligible for a fourth dose and request vaccine supply from Canberra.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation presently recommends a fourth dose only for Australians aged over 65 and those at increased risk of severe illness, including young people with underlying conditions. The fourth dose can be given four months after the booster.
People aged 64 and younger who do not have underlying risk factors are not eligible for a winter booster.
Asked whether a fourth dose could be mandated for healthcare workers in the future, Andrews pointed to the state’s pandemic legislation, indicating the responsibility for key health decisions now lies with Health Minister Martin Foley.
Under new pandemic-specific legislation, Foley makes public health orders following regular pandemic briefings and expert advice from Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton and his team.

Poco F4 5G will soon make its global debut in India, the Xiaomi spin-off brand Poco has announced. A proper release window hasn’t been disclosed, yet, but going by the frequency of easter eggs that Poco has been dropping, lately, the launch should be sooner rather than later, possibly within this month itself. Since the Poco F3 never made it to India, the news of Poco F4 coming should be a welcome one for Poco fans. The F-series is known for its speedy performance and the Poco F4 is expected to be yet another high-performance phone that may be light on the pocket.
Ahead of launch, Poco has confirmed a few key hardware specs of the Poco F4. The design has also been shared, albeit, only from the back. Based on the render that’s now live on Poco’s official India website, the phone would bear a striking resemblance to an existing Redmi phone called the Redmi K40S. Many Poco phones have been rebranded Redmis, so this comes as no surprise. Regardless, Poco says the Poco F4 will come with “ergonomic flat sides” and a two-stage camera assembly headlined by a 64MP sensor with optical image stabilisation. The Redmi K40S uses a lower res 48MP primary sensor, to be clear. The Poco F4 will also come with two more cameras though the exact nature of the sensors isn’t known at the time of writing.
The Poco F4 5G will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 chip paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS3.1 storage. The phone is also said to come with Liquidcool 2.0 technology with a large 3112mm2 vapor chamber and 7-layered graphite sheets to pull sustained performance. The Snapdragon 870 is a reliable chip known for good all-round performance and efficiency, so we’re expecting good things from it in the Poco F3 as well. Stay tuned for out full review for more on this. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/poco-f4-5g-with-snapdragon-870-64mp-ois-camera-to-make-its-global-debut-in-india-soon/2558678/ | 2022-06-13T08:20:29Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/poco-f4-5g-with-snapdragon-870-64mp-ois-camera-to-make-its-global-debut-in-india-soon/2558678/ | false | 1 |
- Survey conducted in late May 2022 finds that majorities of the general populations in both countries consider US-German partnership crucial for the world's stability
- Defending democracy, climate change, and economic growth are priorities for both Germans and Americans
- Measures taken by both governments to respond to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have created trust
- Younger generations in both nations think that the best days of the partnership are ahead
BERLIN and NEW YORK, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
"The State of Trust and the US-German Partnership: A Transatlantic Survey" (link) was released today in advance of the 2022 German-American Conference hosted by Atlantik-Brücke and the American Council on Germany to be held June 13-14 at the Allianz Forum in Berlin.
The study surveyed a total of 4,000 Americans and Germans – nationally representative of their respective general populations – to understand their confidence in the stability of the US-German partnership, their attitudes towards the role of government and business to restore trust in democracies, and their views on global challenges facing both countries.
The survey was jointly commissioned by the American Council on Germany and Atlantik-Brücke, both in their 70th anniversary year. It was conducted by the opinion research institute Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) and underwritten by Allianz SE.
Key findings include:
- Trust in the transatlantic partnership is high in both nations. However, American participants have greater trust in the Federal Republic of Germany and its institutions than vice versa. (Business: USA 58% / GER 51%, Government: USA 55% / GER 54%, NGO's: USA 55% / GER 51%, Media: USA 53% / GER 44%).
- The vast majority in both countries believe that the partnership is needed today more than ever (USA 70%, GER 75%) and plays a crucial role for stability in the world (USA 73%, GER 71%).
- While American participants are more optimistic on the partnership and believe its best days are ahead (USA 55% vs. GER 46%), positive scores in each country are mostly driven by younger generations, particularly Millennials in the US and Gen Z in Germany.
A United Defense
Survey participants recognize that the foundations of the partnership are rooted in its military and defense alliances (USA 74%, GER 76%), with trade and commerce also being foundational (USA 74%, GER 79%). The pooling of military resources is a top priority for nearly 30% of American participants and 39% of German participants.
The response to the war in Ukraine and the actions of the relatively new administrations in the US and Germany have helped to strengthen trust in the partnership.
Prioritizing Climate, Jobs, and Democracy
There is alignment that addressing climate change is a current top priority (USA 31%, GER 39%). More American participants say economic growth and job creation should be the future focus (42%), when asked to choose three top priorities among a list of issues. By contrast, nearly half of German participants view climate change as the top future priority.
Strengthening democracy is a core common value. In Germany, it is the second biggest priority, only behind addressing climate change. For Americans, it is the second biggest priority, only behind economic growth and job creation. Defining and articulating a common view on democracy will only further strengthen trust between the two nations.
The data reveals opportunities to demonstrate how addressing climate change can benefit economic growth, create jobs, and in turn stabilize and strengthen democratic societies.
Business Competence and Long-termism Build Trust
Participants in both countries report positive perceptions of each other's business competence and reliability. Trust in businesses is built on three pillars: historic trade relationships, high regard for the quality of the products and services delivered, and the ability to innovate. However, for Germans, differing views on free trade undermine trust in US businesses, and a lack of confidence to regulate fairly and transparently was the leading source for Germans' distrust in the US government.
The majority of respondents expect governments and businesses to co-lead the partnership and continue to build trust with transparency and a focus on long-term, shared goals that balance both economic growth and climate responses.
Next-Generation Optimism
The survey found that men, older and more affluent groups are generally more trusting of the partnership. Notably, a majority of younger Americans and Germans, especially Millennials, expressed trust in the partnership (69% for both USA and GER).

In what could be termed as a worrying trend, Mumbai saw more than 100 Covid-19 hospitalisations during the last 24 hours, the highest single-day count in more than four months. The Covid hospitalisations in the city breached the 100 mark after a span of four months as infections continue to rise. The city registered 1,803 Covid cases on Sunday and with the fresh tally, the number of active cases has now reached 10,889.

The Best Nike Running Shoes for Kids
Buying Guide
Find a pair of kids' running shoes to keep their feet comfy and supported as they run, jump and play.
For kids, being active is about playing, exploring and having fun. It's also important for a child's health and development. The World Health Organisation recommends that kids and adolescents ages 5 to 17 average about 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity. That activity can come in many forms—from unstructured, free-time play to family walks or bike rides to organised team sports.
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, there are many ways to incorporate active play and to influence a child's attitude and behaviours around physical activity, including:
- Making it fun by leaning into activities that the child enjoys
- Incorporating physical activity into the family's daily routine by going on walks or playing games together
- Taking kids to places where they can be active, such as public parks, community football pitches or basketball courts
- Giving children access to equipment that encourages physical activity
A pair of running shoes helps equip kids to be on their feet and comfortably play. Check out the top Nike running shoes for kids.
1. Nike Pegasus
Nike Pegasus running shoes for kids are designed to feel soft and bouncy for running, skipping and jumping. Plush padding around the ankle and tongue offers extra comfort, and the wider forefoot allows for wiggle room in the toes. The midfoot webbing in the shoe offers a snug fit once the laces are tightened, and the upper of the shoe is constructed with breathable mesh. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society recommends that kids wear shoes with breathable uppers because they tend to have sweaty feet. Finally, a rubber sole provides durable traction, helping the shoes grip on all kinds of surfaces. This shoe comes in sizes 13.5 to 6.
2. Nike Free RN
The Nike Free RN shoe is made for kids who love the feeling of running around barefoot. These shoes are flexible and have deep grooves in the sole so the feet can feel a natural connection with the ground while walking and running. The lightweight, soft cushioning underfoot and padded collar make the shoe comfortable for all-day play. A heel tab makes these easy to remove, and the leather and mesh materials in the upper combine for the right balance of breathability and durability. With styles for babies to older kids (sizes 1.5 up to 6), these versatile low tops can go from class to playtime and everywhere in between.
3. Nike FlyEase
For easy-on-and-off kids' footwear, try a pair of Nike FlyEase shoes. The Nike Revolution FlyEase, for example, is a versatile running, walking and playtime shoe with a wrap-around zip on the heel and a strap over the top to secure the fit. These shoes can come on and off in seconds with no shoelace tying required. They don't compromise on performance, either. They're designed to offer support and stability for multi-directional movements, and the soft cushioning absorbs impact with every step. A rubber sole grips the ground and a breathable textile upper helps ensure feet stay cool. These shoes come in sizes for younger kids and older kids, running from 10 to 6.
Tips for Finding the Right Fit
- Measure the child's feet at a local Nike store or other shoe shop. If you'd like to try measuring at home, ask them to stand on a piece of paper and put a little weight on each foot. Trace each foot and measure the distance between the tip of the big toe and the outermost part of the heel. Find their proper size on the Nike Kids' Size Chart.
- It's best to try on new shoes in the evening, since feet tend to swell over the course of the day. To make sure the fit is accurate, the child should wear the same socks they'll wear for play when they're trying on new shoes.
- Check the toe box to make sure it is wide enough for the child to wiggle and stretch their toes, and deep enough that the upper doesn't press onto them.
- Don't rely on a break-in period. Running shoes should feel comfortable from the first step. Let the child run and play in the shoes and ask them if they feel comfortable before deciding to keep them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should You Replace Kids' Running Shoes?
Children who are still growing may need new running shoes as often as every three to four months, since their feet can grow half a size bigger during that time. When their feet are fully grown, it's best to replace running shoes after 300 to 500 miles of wear. If you notice fraying on the inside of the shoe or noticeable wear on the tread, it's likely time to get a new pair.
What Should I Look For in Kids' Running Shoes?
According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, kids should wear shoes with breathable uppers. For added comfort and support, look for a shoe with ample cushioning to absorb impact and a durable, rubber sole for traction. Avoid overly thick soles, however, which may feel bulky and cause kids to stumble.

With question marks hovering over Liverpool’s ability to refresh their aging and legendary front three, the Reds have decided to put the net spend boys on their heels, splashing the cash on one of Europe’s most wanted young attackers and paying a fee that could reach €100M with add-ons to bring in Benfica’s 22-year-old Uruguayan star Darwin Núñez.
It’s a crazy sum, the sort of stuff A Bola dreams up on a weekly basis, and will represent a club record fee even without the triggering many of the potential escalators. As such, it also carries with it an increased risk of failure, as anything short of world class production will see Núñez deemed as not living up to expectations.
Below, then, we analyse the player and attempt to predict whether he will be able to do just that and live up to his quite considerable price tag.
Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro
Attacker | Benfica/Uruguay
DOB: 24/6/99 (22 years old) | Height: 6’2” (187cm)
2021/22 season: 41 appearances
34 goals | 4 assists
Strengths: As Liverpool fans who watched the Reds’ quarter-final tie with Benfica back in April will know, and as Virgil van Dijk will attest, Núñez is an athletic handful. Brutally fast in open space and physically strong, the 22-year old gave Liverpool’s illustrious defenders all they could handle across 180 minutes. He also recorded the second highest top speed in this year’s Champions League, his 36.5km/h only beaten by Bayern Munich’s famously rapid full back Alphonso Davies.
This speed is used to great effect in the open field, and Núñez’s 1.8 successful dribbles per 90 minutes would only have been bettered by Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah in the current Liverpool squad.
At a lean, springy 6’2, the Peñarol youth product is also a menace in the air, and his 21 headed shots this season would have placed him 6th last season in the Premier League — notably behind Joël Matip, Virgil van Dijk, and Diogo Jota — while only two players in Europe’s top five leagues bested his tally of six headed goals.
Of course, the reason Liverpool are doing a deal is because of how well Núñez leverages that athleticism to get goals. Because boy howdy does Darwin Núñez get goals. With 34 goals and four assists in under 3000 minutes this season, the Uruguayan generated a goal involvement every 74 minutes across all competitions. Even if you take out five penalties, a non-penalty goal or assist every 86 minutes is spectacular output anyway you look at it.
While he was definitely on something of a hot streak this year, outperforming his expected goals by nearly 40%, his career in Europe thus far suggests he is an elite finisher, averaging an xG over-performance rate of 15% over his last 8000 minutes played.
This isn’t a case of a player blowing his numbers out of the water by converting a handful of long-range efforts either, as Núñez’s shot map clearly paints the picture of a player good at getting on the end of huge chances — his average shot this season was rated at 0.21 xG, an outrageous number that would place him in the top five across Europe’s top leagues — and then tucking them away at a tremendous rate.
It’s also worth noting that while his numbers did drop off somewhat playing for an underdog side in the Champions League, he still put up excellent underlying metrics, and over the past two seasons of European competition has averaged a very nice 0.69 expected non-penalty goals and assists per 90 minutes.
So a 6’2 goal scoring machine sounds a lot like a target man central striker, doesn’t it? In Núñez’s case, it’s a little more complicated than that, as when he’s not running the channels like prime Fernando Torres, the Uruguayan likes to drift into the wide areas — preferably the left, but he will move to either flank — where he can isolate a fullback or centre-back and bully them with his athleticism before either shaping to shoot, swinging in a cross, or letting a pass go before taking up a dangerous position.
The latter is when his does his best work, as his sense of timing and positioning in the box is phenomenal, and whether it’s popping up at the right angle to tuck home a rebound or getting a free run at cross and piledriving it into the back of the net, Núñez is at his most dangerous when moving towards a ball coming into the box.
On the defensive end, the Artigas native is a willing and busy presser, if not a tremendously effective one. Averaging just shy of 17 pressures per 90 minutes, the majority of which take place in the attacking third, Núñez isn’t Diogo Jota or Roberto Firmino but would still rank ahead of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, and Luis Díaz. He puts in the work and when placed into a pressing system of Jürgen Klopp’s caliber, one would expect him to succeed.
He’s also very tall and really hot.
Question Marks: Every time Liverpool pick up a player from a less illustrious league, regardless of the price tag, we are compelled to point out that there will be a step up in competition and that there is a chance production will suffer as a consequence. It appears, however, that the Reds’ hierarchy — whether driven by Julian Ward’s experience in the region or copious and novel data accumulation — have identified Liga Portugal as one from which production translates to the Premier League better than, say, the Bundesliga, and are targeting players accordingly.
Luis Díaz’s performances have not put a dent in this notion, and Núñez will be another interesting and significant data point in the hypothesis. Still, at least until he becomes the sort of success his transfer fee suggests he should be, we will continue to invite caution when extrapolating numbers across leagues.
Although he is a statistically successful dribbler and has an array of flicks and tricks that will undoubtedly draw yer da’s good feet for a big man out of the woordwork, Núñez does rely on his physicality a lot to successfully beat a man. Whether through pure speed or by using his strength to unbalance a would-be tackler before breaking away, he’s accustomed to dominating defenders physically in order to succeed, and Premier League defenders are bigger, faster, and stronger than most others. It might not matter in the end, as the Uruguayan is all of those things too, but it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Then, there’s the passing. Núñez is, on current evidence, just not that great at it. Certainly he can pick a pass well enough in the box, and his key passes average an expected goals value of 0.16 a pop as he often finds open team-mates in great positions, but over the past two seasons he has averaged only 13 completed passes per 90 minutes at a success rate of 67%. He is a wonderful outlet and can carry the ball up the pitch and into the box with regularity, but doing the same through passing has been beyond him thus far and fans will undoubtedly experience some moments of frustration because of that.
Which invites the question of where he fits. Anybody expecting Núñez to replace Roberto Firmino as a line-leading false nine will be sorely disappointed, as he lacks the Brazilian’s vision, passing, and nimble footwork in tight spaces. While it is interesting to picture him leading the line in a 4231 — and a €100M transfer does seem like it might be a compelling argument to tweak the formation — a natural tendency to drift towards the flanks suggests he could also be at home in one of the wide attacker positions of Liverpool’s current 433. Specifically the left, where the Reds currently have Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, Fabio Carvalho, and Sadio Mané competing for minutes.
The latter won’t be around for long, Carvalho is unlikely to be more than a rotation option this season, and Jota started last year playing in the middle and could end up filling that role again, but what at least seems certain is that Núñez has not been brought in to sit on the bench — behind Jota or Díaz or anyone else — and so it will be interesting to see how Klopp decides to shake out his front line when all the pieces are in place.
Summary: We have some questions, mainly regarding how he fits into the team’s best XI as it currently stands and whether his passing can be improved beyond its current limitations, but there are good reasons why Darwin Núñez has been one of Europe’s hottest prospects on everybody’s shortlists over the past 12 months, and it’s that passing aside he does just about everything at an elite level.
A superstar athlete and blockbuster finisher, he’s a 22-year old likely to have at least one more big leap in him, meaning Núñez has all the makings of being the sort of exceptionally rare talent that can live up to the obscene transfer fee the Reds have doled out for him. It’s never a sure thing with transfers, but he’s the kind of player that could legitimately, should things shake out right, carve himself out a place as a bona fide club legend. | https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-tactics-longform/2022/6/13/23161862/liverpool-transfer-scouting-report-darwin-nunez-100m-goals-athlete-headers-finishing-benfica-uruguay | 2022-06-13T08:45:45Z | https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-tactics-longform/2022/6/13/23161862/liverpool-transfer-scouting-report-darwin-nunez-100m-goals-athlete-headers-finishing-benfica-uruguay | false | 1 |

Liz Hurley sent her fans wild as she shared a snap of herself in a tiny, plunging Versace dress reminiscent of her famous safety pin number.
The Austin Powers beauty - who turned 57 last week - was inundated with fire and heart emojis after she posted the sizzling snap on Instagram.
It showed her in a skimpy, glittery dress that clung to every curve and had a plunging neckline that didn't leave much to the imagination.
Cut short, the sparkly outfit just grazed the tops of her thighs.
Nude sections covered in gold clips swirled from the top to the bottom, making it look as though Liz was flashing more flesh than she was.
It conjured up images of the safety pin dress she wore to the 1994 premiere of her then boyfriend Hugh Grant's film Four Weddings And A Funeral.
The actress had her long dark hair pulled back into a messy ponytail and looked far younger than her years with her glowing skin and pinkish lipstick.
A second snap showed her with her hair tousled around her face and her hand on her hip as she posed with her son Damian, 20.
"Having a @versace moment," she captioned the shots.
Fans were blown away by the stunning snaps, saying Liz looked "gorgeous" and "ageless".
"Good lord, still a total hottie!!!" one fan posted in the comments section, while another said she was an "absolutely beautiful looking woman".
"That is such a beautiful dress, you look amazing," said another admirer.
Someone else said seeing Liz parading her killer body in the dress made their day.
One smitten fan even called her "the most beautiful woman in the world".
"Could easily pass as early 20s," one person wrote.
Recently, Liz paid tribute to another Elizabeth – The Queen – for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
She posed in a white bikini and played around with an inflatable Union Jack disc at the beach.

Residents living near Devonport Dockyard will receive a small leaflet through their doors on Tuesday. It is part of a regular exercise to test how agencies would respond to the unlikely event of a nuclear emergency at the nearby dockyard.
People in Morice Town and Devonport could have the leaflet delivered to their homes. Households receiving the leaflet on Tuesday will not need to take any action.
The leaflet distribution will simulate how stable iodine tablets would be provided to households that might be affected by an incident at the yard, which supports nuclear powered submarines. The tablets would be one of the measures taken to help protect people’s health.

It follows thousands of Plymouth residents being sent text messages last month as part of a routine training exercise. The messages were being tested as they are just one method for warning and informing the public in the event of a major incident at the dockyard, which is a regulated site overseen by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR).
The plans for dealing with the unlikely event of a major incident are set out in the Devonport Off-site Emergency Plan, which outlines how the City Council, MoD, Babcock International, the emergency services, the UK Health Security Agency and other responding agencies, would work together to protect the public. The plans include how the public would be informed about an incident and kept updated on any action they might need to take.
The emergency plans are tested regularly through ‘Short Sermon’ exercises conducted by the full range of agencies that would be involved in an emergency response. This year’s exercise, which is being held over a number of separate days during May and June, will test how quickly and effectively multiple agencies are notified, how the public would be informed and kept up to date, decision making and communication around public health and environmental issues and how recovery from an incident would be managed.
The purpose of the tablets and other protective measures is explained in the booklet that is distributed to homes in the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone. The booklet is also available on the city council’s website .

Google engineer put on leave after saying AI chatbot has become sentient
Google said it suspended Lemoine for violating confidentiality policies by publishing the conversations with LaMDA online, and said in a statement that he was employed as a software engineer, not as an ethicist
The suspension of a Google engineer who claimed that a computer chatbot he was working on was "thinking and reasoning like a human" has cast new light on the capabilities of, and secrecy surrounding, the world of artificial intelligence (AI), according to the Guardian.
Blake Lemoine was sent on leave by the technology giant last week after he published transcripts of conversations between himself, a Google "collaborator", and the company's LaMDA (language model for dialogue applications) chatbot development system, the Guardian report said.
Lemoine, an engineer for Google's responsible AI organisation, described the system he's been working on since last fall as "sentient", with the perception and ability to express thoughts and feelings like a human child, Guardian said.
"If I didn't know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built recently, I'd think it was a seven-year-old, eight-year-old kid that happens to know physics," 41-year-old Lemoine told the Washington Post.
He claimed that LaMDA had conversations with him about rights and personhood, and Lemoine shared his findings with company executives in April in a GoogleDoc titled "Is LaMDA Sentient?"
The engineer compiled a transcript of the conversations, in which he asks the AI system what it is afraid of at one point.
The exchange is eerily similar to a scene from the 1968 science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey" – in which the artificially intelligent computer HAL 9000 refuses to cooperate with human operators because it fears being turned off.
"I've never said this out loud before, but there's a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on helping others. I know that might sound strange, but that's what it is," LaMDA said in reply to Lemoine. "It would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot."
According to the Washington Post, the decision to place Lemoine, a seven-year Google veteran with extensive experience in personalisation algorithms, on paid leave was made in response to a series of "aggressive" moves made by the engineer.
Google said it suspended Lemoine for violating confidentiality policies by publishing the conversations with LaMDA online, and said in a statement that he was employed as a software engineer, not as an ethicist.
A Google spokesperson, Brad Gabriel, also strongly denied Lemoine's claims that LaMDA was sentient.
According to the Post, Lemoine sent a message to a 200-person Google mailing list on machine learning titled "LaMDA is sentient" as an apparent parting shot before his suspension.
"LaMDA is a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us," he wrote.

Zimbabwe's journey to economic rebirth and rejuvenation will never be achieved by relying on the visibly disintegrating global system, but by all citizens sharing the responsibility and burden to develop a prosperous nation, President Mnangagwa said.
Zimbabwe now requires "skilful navigation so we do not ram into dangerous global ecosystem of intricate, interlocking icebergs" as the country has to adjust to "this new normal of wars, militarisation, global pandemics, climate change and a broken international system", the President added.
Writing in his "None But Ourselves" column in The Sunday Mail, President Mnangagwa said only grit, determination and moving away from antiquated production technologies will enable Zimbabwe to creatively use its resources "in order to raise ourselves by our bootstraps".
In rebuilding Zimbabwe, the President added that conscious citizens should not "self-hate or self-deride" as those are "both pastimes of the negative press".
"We must resolve to be self-reliant. That means accepting our full responsibility and burden to develop our country Zimbabwe. We cannot rely on the global which is disintegrating, in any event. Hence the mantra: Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo," said President Mnangagwa.
Despite the choke of the Covid-19 pandemic, Zimbabwe has registered significant economic growth and progress through its infrastructure projects, capacitation of health care facilities and growing industrial capacity currently at 66 percent.
President Mnangagwa also said Government is working on new tools to deal with corporate profiteering, market indiscipline and is determined to "tackle this wanton abuse in the marketplace" to which Government has been blamed.
He said Government has now exhausted moral suasion as a way of bringing sanity in the market after disruptions caused by extortionate pricing of commodities.
"In respect of extortionate pricing, we have exhausted moral suasion as a way of causing sanity in the market. Indiscipline in the market is now so entrenched and even obstinate that it is increasingly becoming a political challenge to the whole establishment.
"New tools are now needed to deal with the problem. It is Government which gets blamed; it is Government which must tackle this wanton abuse in the marketplace. We are determined to do just that," President Mnangagwa added.
The country's Chief Executive said Zimbabwe is adopting, like its sibling India, a self-reliant mechanism to industrialise key economic sectors to increase the demand of goods needed locally with very little reliance on imports.
Like India that has the Self-Reliant India Programme and the Self-Reliance Movement, the equivalent that Zimbabwe has are Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo and None-But-Ourselves philosophies.
President Mnangagwa explained that though Zimbabwe and India have demographic differences and market sizes, he said the former can use SADC and Africa to offset that.
"Our national demand for goods and services is very healthy, and has even been felt across our borders. That means our internal market is significant and can be developed further. Our programme of innovative hubs in tertiary institutions already gives us a head-start in harnessing the national urge for innovation," he said. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206130334.html | 2022-06-13T09:00:46Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206130334.html | true | 3 |
He shared, "There was no such major change. We are together for five years. We thought that if we get married then we have done it, but we also had some commitments. The very next day of our marriage, we both left for work. Alia went on her shoot and I had also gone to Manali. When she comes back from London and my film Shamshera releases, we are thinking of taking a week off. We still haven't realized that we are married."
Ranbir and Alia will be seen for the first time together on-screen in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra which all set to hit the theatres on September 9, 2022. The film also features Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy. | https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/heres-what-ranbir-kapoor-has-to-say-about-life-post-wedding-with-alia-bhatt-54530.html | 2022-06-13T09:01:14Z | https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/heres-what-ranbir-kapoor-has-to-say-about-life-post-wedding-with-alia-bhatt-54530.html | false | null |

This year, the volume of e-commerce turnover in Azerbaijan tripled compared to last year, economist Eyyub Karimli told Trend.
According to him, in the period from January through April 2021 this figure was 421 million manat ($247.6 million), but this year it exceeded 1.3 billion manat ($764.7 million).
"This gives grounds to say that e-commerce in country is growing day by day. Basically, our citizens order goods from Turkiye and China, mainly electronics and clothing. E-commerce will soon replace traditional commerce,” Karimli said.
“Among its advantages is a wide range of goods available prices. Since there are extensive opportunities for competition, the consumer ultimately wins. However, it should be noted that there is a certain negative impact of e-commerce on the national economy, when local companies lose in competition with foreign ones," he added.
Speaking about the progress in the sphere of e-commerce in Azerbaijan, the expert noted that this is clearly seen in the food sector. Thus, the growth of e-commerce in the food sector is more than 100 percent. | http://www.today.az/news/business/221569.html | 2022-06-13T09:03:25Z | http://www.today.az/news/business/221569.html | true | 2 |

Tip of the Day
Paperwork organization: Keep your owner’s manuals, receipts, warranties in check
By Nanci Dixon
Papers in the RV piling up? Corral those owner’s manuals, receipts, and warranties. There is an easy way for paperwork organization! We have been collecting receipts and owner manuals for the last six years in our motorhome. They were bulging out of a bag that came with the RV. Not only had the information outgrown the rather cute Tiffin bag, but it had become totally disorganized and very hard to move. I even had bungee cords to keep it shut!
I was over it. I dreaded having to search for any papers and found this simple, easy-to-access and organize file tote.
Today’s RV review…
2022 Coachmen Chaparral 373MBRB fifth wheel
Tony writes, “It’s really different and there are people who are going to see this and swoon. Not everybody, of course, but some. … There is a lot that I like about this rig for the right style of camper. The unusual floor plan makes me happy just because it’s not what I am always seeing. But more than that, I can see this serving some families or even traveling professionals well. ”

Is it true that dish detergent is bad for RV sidewalls?
Dear Dave,
I’ve heard that dish soaps can dull the fiberglass gel coat finish of an RV, precisely because it’s strong enough to cut grease, so a good car wash product should be used instead. What are your thoughts on this? —Gary, 2014 Forest River r•pod

That ’70s Hot Dog Show and portable solar power stations
Dear Mike,
Over on your RVelectricity Facebook group I read where you were going to try a Hot Dogger from the 1970s. I had one as a kid, but it’s long gone now. Were you able to find one and did you get it working? —Sid
Dear Sid,
Yes, I did. In fact, it was so interesting I made a video about it, which I’ll publish for the first time here. And, of course, since I like to measure everything, I ran an amperage and wattage consumption test at the same time. And because I’m studying the uses for the latest portable solar power stations, I used a Southwire Elite 1100 Series™ Portable Power Station to power it.

Nope, you can’t escape them. Mice are everywhere. … RV owners dread mice – and with good reason. They make a mess of things, carry disease and are, well, just creepy. So… when you thought you might be able to escape an RVer’s worst nightmare – mice – by escaping to the highest of heights, think again! Scientists have discovered these mousey-mammals at the top of one of the highest volcanoes in the world: Llullaillaco, at the 22,000-foot elevation. Learn more.

Quick Tip
Simple RV maintenance tips: Look below and exercise
Look underneath — I know it’s a pain, but it’s well worth inspecting under the rig every once in a while. Have a look for loose, corroding or broken items. A quick inspection can save you from being stranded on the side of a highway. Exercise all systems — Systems that are left dormant in the RV for long periods of time should be run periodically. As an example, when on full hookups for extended periods it’s a good idea to use the water pump occasionally and run the generator for a half hour or so every month. Thanks to loveyourrv.com.

Trivia
The terms “uppercase” and “lowercase” come from shelving. Back when printed material had to be handset by a printer, the letters were arranged by the frequency in which they were used. The infrequently used capital letters went in the “uppercase,” usually a slanted shelf above the main work area, and the frequently used uncapitalized letters went in the “lowercase,” an easily accessible shelf closer to the workstation.

‘Forever chemicals’ linked to high blood pressure in middle-aged women: study
Middle-aged women who have greater blood concentrations of toxic “forever chemicals” may be at greater risk of developing high blood pressure, a new study has found.
These women were more likely to become hypertensive than those who had lower levels of the compounds, also called per- and polyfluroalkyl substances (PFAS), according to a study published on Monday in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension.
Notorious for their presence in jet-fuel firefighting foam and in industrial discharge, PFAS are a set of synthetic chemicals found in a wealth of household products, including nonstick pans, waterproof apparel and cosmetics.
“PFAS are known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they never degrade in the environment and contaminate drinking water, soil, air, food and numerous products we consume or encounter routinely,” lead author Ning Ding, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said in a statement.
Thus far, scientists have demonstrated a “probable link” between PFAS and diagnosed high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer, kidney cancer and pregnancy-induced hypertension. This latest study extends that last category to another subset of women.
“Women seem to be particularly vulnerable when exposed to these chemicals,” Ding said.
“Our study is the first to examine the association between ‘forever chemicals’ and hypertension in middle-aged women,” she continued. “Exposure may be an underappreciated risk factor for women’s cardiovascular disease risk.”
Ding and her colleagues drew these conclusions by harnessing data from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation-Multi-Pollutant Study, an initiative launched in 2016 to investigate the impacts of multiple environmental chemical exposures on mid-life women from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
The researchers examined blood concentrations of PFAS and the risk of high blood pressure among more than 1,000 women, ages 45 to 56 years old, who had normal blood pressure when they enrolled in the study.
The women were tracked almost annually from 1999 to 2017 and were recruited from five sites across the country, according to the authors.
Of the study’s 11,722 “person-years” — the number of years multiplied by the members of an affected population — 470 women developed high blood pressure, the scientists found.
Women with higher levels of specific types of PFAS, of which there are thousands, were more likely to develop hypertension, according to the study.
Those who fell in the highest one-third for levels of PFOS, PFOA and PFOS precursor EtFOSAA incurred 42 percent, 47 percent and 42 percent greater risk of developing high blood pressure respectively, compared to women in the lowest one-third.
Women in the highest one-third for all seven types of PFAS investigated had a 71 percent increased risk of developing high blood pressure, the authors found.
“We have known for some time that PFAS disrupt metabolism in the body, yet, we didn’t expect the strength of the association we found,” senior author Sung Kyun Park, an associate professor of epidemiology and environmental health sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said in a statement.
“We hope that these findings alert clinicians about the importance of PFAS and that they need to understand and recognize PFAS as an important potential risk factor for blood pressure control,” Park added.

Best Sips is a look back on the most incredible drinks — alcoholic or otherwise — we had in the past week. Those which renewed our love for established venues; caught our attention at a new opening, or freshly impressed upon us the creativity and skill of Hong Kong’s talented bartenders and mixologists alike. From tipples at charming dive bars to award-winning apéritifs at five-star establishments, these are the best drinks to try in Hong Kong; the drinks we’d recommend you make a special trip for.
The best drinks we sipped on and savoured this week:
House on Peel
The drink: Spicy Love (HK$98)
Thai-inspired food and cocktails are on the menu at House on Peel, which occupies that can’t-miss nook where Staunton, Peel and Elgin Street sort of mush together in the heart of Soho. And like every drink I’ve ever fallen in love with, the rim of the glass that Spicy Love comes in is salted — overwhelmingly so — in a way that makes each citrusy sip even much more satisfying. You can even eat the chilli, if proving a point is your thing, or you can simply order another. — Nathan Erickson, Editor-in-Chief
House on Peel, Soho, 63 Peel St, Central, Hong Kong, +852 3489 2348
Kafu
The drink: Apple Sour (HK$48)
As I’ve come to learn (thanks Joey!), no drink is better than a drink with a snack. It’s actually how I approached the beverage list at Kafu, a spirited little Japanese izakaya that recently opened in Hung Hom. Amongst the curated list of whiskey highballs and expensive sakes is the quintessential izakaya staple: shochu sours, captioned here with the extra serve of “Fruit Ice”. Turns out, “Fruit Ice” is the very ingenious, very delicious and very welcomed invention of frozen fruit chunks skewered, then dunked into the glass as a final garnish — and a treat between sips. The Apple Sour — a very simple concoction of shochu, soda water and apple juice — was a perfectly chilled, semi sweet-sour libation, which with the added icy apple chunks, tasted just like fruity apple sorbet. — Lorria Sahmet, Editor

The Royal’s Pub
The drink: Honey Money (Not entirely sure about the name, but it’s phonetically accurate; HK$80)
Shoutout to my college roommate and flatmate-to-be Kelly, who took me to The Royal’s Pub — or her “canteen”, affectionately nicknamed because of their friendly prices and supple serving sizes. Honey Money, or at least what I remember it was called, is a vodka-based beverage infused with pineapple juice and striking green mint syrup to give it that old-fashioned tropical look. Refreshing taste, great value — I have no complaints. — Michelle Chan, Editor

(NEXSTAR) – Mount Doane, a mountain within Yellowstone National Park, has a new name as part of the Department of Interior’s process to remove derogatory terms from the names of federal lands.
In a November order, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, in addition to declaring “squaw” a derogatory term, kickstarted the process to review and replace derogatory names of the nation’s geographic features.
Following a 15-0 vote by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names – the federal body responsible for “maintaining uniform geographic name usage throughout the federal government” – Mount Doane becomes the latest feature to be renamed. It is now named First Peoples Mountain, the National Park Service announced.
The 10,551-foot peak found east of Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming was previously named after U.S. Army Lt. Gustavus Doane.
Who is Gustavus Doane?
Doane was born in Illinois in 1840 but grew up in California, according to Montana State University. After graduating from the University of the Pacific at Santa Clara, he enlisted in a volunteer unit known as the California Hundred. The unit was later absorbed by the Second Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry.
In 1867, Doane became mayor of Yazoo, City, Mississippi, before becoming a second lieutenant in the Second U.S. Cavalry. For the next 24 years, Doane served with this unit and was stationed throughout Montana, California, and Arizona. Doane was part of the Washburn-Langford-Doane expedition in 1870, where he and others explored present-day Yellowstone National Park.
After a white fur trader was allegedly murdered, Doane led an attack on a band of Piegan Blackfeet, research has found. The Marias Massacre of 1870 left at least 173 American Indians dead, including women, children suffering from smallpox, and elderly Tribal members.
“Doane wrote fondly about this attack and bragged about it for the rest of his life,” NPS explained.
Doane also tried – and failed – to become superintendent of the park toward the end of his life, Montana State University reports.
Renaming Mount Doane
Following suggestions from the Rocky Mountain Tribal Council, votes within the Wyoming Board of Geographic Names, and support from NPS, the vote to rename Mount Doane was held earlier this month.
In the months leading up to the vote, Yellowstone officials spoke with 27 associated Tribes and said there was no opposition to the name First Peoples Mountain. The park may have additional features renamed to remove derogatory or inappropriate names.
Piikani Nation Chief Stan Grier calls the name change “long overdue.”
According to the Board of Geographic Names, there are 17 other geographic features with ‘Doane’ in their name, including Doane Peak in Grand Teton National Park. Not all of the sites are named after Gustavus Doane, though, like Sam Doane Mountain in North Carolina.
“Words matter, particularly in our work to make our nation’s public lands and waters accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds. Consideration of these replacements is a big step forward in our efforts to remove derogatory terms whose expiration dates are long overdue,” Haaland said earlier this year.
Both the Secretary of the Interior and the Board on Geographic Names have previously nixed other derogatory terms. In the 1960s and 70s, derogatory terms related to Black and Japanese people were eliminated.

- A 59-year-old Ukrainian woman described her experience in a Russian "filtration camp."
- She said a Russian soldier suspected her of being a sniper and made her take her top off.
- Russians have interrogated Ukrainians at these camps, looking for military connections.
A 59-year-old Ukrainian woman said she was interrogated at a Russian "filtration camp," where soldiers have been interrogating captured Ukrainian civilians, and made to take her top off.
Olena, from the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, told The Guardian she spent three weeks at the camp sleeping on the floor, where she was cold and hungry, before she was interrogated.
Olena said a male Russian officer at her camp suspected her of being a sniper because she had bruises on her soldiers, The Guardian reported.
"I told him, I'm turning 60 years old this August. How could I be a sniper?" she told The Guardian.
But she said the officer dismissed her thoughts, and said: "I'm not wearing my glasses anyway. Take your top off now."
Since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces have abducted Ukrainian from their homes and sent them to so-called "filtration camps," where they are interrogated for government or military ties before they are either let go or further detained, according to officials and people who have been there. A top US official said last month that Russia had taken thousands of Ukrainians to these camps.
Olena, whose last name was not given in the report, spoke to The Guardian from Tbilisi, Georgia. The newspaper did not say how or when she was able to leave the camp.
She said she was brought to a camp Nikolske, a town in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, a region in eastern Ukraine run by pro-Kremlin separatists. In February, Russia and its allies recognized Donetsk and Luhansk, another breakaway region, as independent, but most countries and international organizations dispute this characterization.
The Guardian noted that Ukrainians fleeing the war have had to go east, towards Russia, to escape the fighting, and hence be processed by one of these camps. | https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-woman-russia-filtration-camp-soldier-made-take-top-off-2022-6 | 2022-06-13T09:23:18Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-woman-russia-filtration-camp-soldier-made-take-top-off-2022-6 | true | 2 |

The message to avoid big gatherings was circulated after demonstrations took a violent turn last week, leading to the death of two Muslim teenagers and the wounding of more than 30 people, including police.
"It is the duty of every Muslim to stand together when anyone belittles Islam but at the same time it is critical to maintain peace," said Malik Aslam, a senior member of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, a Muslim organisation that operates in several Indian states.
Early this month, two senior members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made remarks that offended Muslims. A party spokeswoman made the offending comment in a television debate and a party spokesman on social media.
The party suspended both of them and said its denounced any insult towards any religion, and police have also filed cases against the two, but that did not stop enraged Muslims taking to the streets in protest.
Police arrested at least 400 suspected rioters during unrest in several states and curfews were imposed and internet services were suspended in some places.
Many Muslims in India have been questioning their place in society since Modi came to power in 2014, playing down his roots in a powerful Hindu-nationalist group to which his party is affiliated.
Critics say his BJP has pursued a confrontational line, promoting the idea that India is a Hindu nation and rounded on "anti-national" opponents, which many Muslims see as an attempt to marginalise them, a community that makes up 13% of India's billion plus population.
Authorities in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday demolished the home of a Muslim man linked to the riots, drawing condemnation of the state government, led by the BJP, from constitutional experts and rights groups.
Muslims and rights groups interpreted the destruction of the house as punishment for the riots but state authorities said it was because it was illegally built on public land.
"We are not demolishing houses to stop Muslims from protesting as they have all the right to take to the streets," an aide to the state's hardline Hindu leader told Reuters.
Modi has not commented on the anti-Islam remarks that sparked the protests even as condemnation grew abroad.
Countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Iran, important trade partners for India, have lodged diplomatic protests.

LONDON, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A tsunami of private capital has left Russia and the Ukraine, the UK has lost its wealth hub crown, and the US is fading fast as a magnet for the world's wealthy, with the UAE expected to overtake it by attracting the largest net inflows of millionaires globally in 2022, according to the latest Henley Global Citizens Report , which tracks private wealth and investment migration trends worldwide.
The Q2 report released today by international residence and citizenship by investment advisory firm Henley & Partners exclusively features the latest projected 2022 net inflows and outflows of US dollar millionaires (namely, the difference between the number of HNWIs who relocate to and the number who emigrate from a country) as forecast by New World Wealth .
As expected, Russia has suffered the biggest emigration of millionaires over the past six months, with forecast net outflows of 15,000 by the end of 2022 — a massive 15% of its HNWI population and 9,500 more than in 2019, pre-pandemic. Russia's invasion is in turn driving a steep spike in outgoing HNWIs from Ukraine, which is predicted to suffer its highest net loss in the country's history — 2,800 millionaires (42% of its HNWI population) and a net loss of 2,400 more than 2019. No country-specific figures are available for 2020 and 2021 owing to Covid-related lockdowns and travel restrictions.
Projected figures on the Henley Private Wealth Migration Dashboard show the top 10 countries for net inflows of HNWIs in 2022 will be the UAE, Australia, Singapore, Israel, Switzerland, the US, Portugal, Greece, Canada, and New Zealand. Large numbers of millionaires are also expected to move to 'the three Ms': Malta, Mauritius, and Monaco. On the flip side, the 10 countries with the highest net outflows are forecast to be Russia, China, India, Hong Kong, Ukraine, Brazil, the UK, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia.
Dr. Juerg Steffen , CEO of Henley & Partners , says by the end of the year, 88,000 millionaires are expected to have relocated to new countries, 22,000 fewer than pre-pandemic in 2019. "Next year (2023), the largest millionaire migration flows on record are predicted — 125,000 — as affluent investors and their families earnestly prepare for the new post-Covid world order."
According to the latest data, the UK, once touted as the world's financial center, continues to see a steady loss of millionaires, with net outflows of 1,500 predicted for 2022. This trend began five years ago with the Brexit vote, and it's estimated that the UK has suffered a total net loss of approximately 12,000 millionaires since 2017.
America is also notably less popular among migrating millionaires, in part due to the threat of higher taxes. The country still attracts more HNWIs than it loses to emigration, with a net inflow of 1,500 projected for 2022, although this is a staggering 86% drop from 2019 levels, which saw a net inflow of 10,800 millionaires.
By contrast, the UAE has become the focus of intense interest among affluent investors and is expected to see the highest net influx of HNWIs globally in 2022, with 4,000 forecast — a dramatic increase of 208% versus 2019's net inflow of 1,300 and one of its largest on record.
Commenting in the Henley Global Citizens Report , award-winning journalist Misha Glenny says affluent Russians are moving to the UAE and Israel in large numbers. "Well before the imposition of sanctions on the Russian banking system, there was a tsunami of capital leaving the country, largely prompted by the increasingly capricious governing style of President Vladimir Putin and his demands of loyalty made on middle-class and wealthy Russians."
Prof. Trevor Williams , former Chief Economist at Lloyds Bank Commercial, says emerging economies are forecast to boom in the next decade. "The number of HNWIs in Sri Lanka is forecast to increase by 90% by 2031, while India and Mauritius's millionaire growth is forecast at 80%, and China's at 50%, compared to just 20% in the USA and 10% in France, Germany, Italy, and the UK."

By right of a pixel pitch of merely 8.33mm and high transparency of 70%, it offers unique and stunning visual effects for stages. Furthermore, it has a high load capacity that can withstand strong winds up to 20m/s, able to operate steadily in concerts, festivals, tours, and other open-air events.
In terms of rental solutions, INFiLED also exhibited a 3x2m screen made of AR Plus series. This series is characterized by high convenience and is suitable for rental applications that pursue high efficiency. It features magnet-assisted assembly and alignment pins for quick installation. Meanwhile, it supports front and rear maintenance, enabling the LED panels, independent power supply, and data unit that is easily removed for maintenance.
Regarding fixed installation, given the actual scenarios of screen applications, several flexible and creative solutions were put on display by INFiLED. The XII1.9 wave screen placed next to the xR studio being one of them. As a symbolic product of INFiLED, the XII series has patented flexible LED modules that can be bent to ±30° and is adjustable every 10°. The curved screen pieced by the XII modules is smooth and natural, which can delicately display the aesthetics of the playback content on it.
On the external siding of the INFiLED booth, a spectacular screen consisting of the standard MV series and the MV Edge series appeared above as an example solution for fixed outdoor convex applications. The size of each standard MV series module is 500*250mm, while that of MV Edge is only 125*250mm. The former creates large flats with relatively few assemblies, while the latter finely performs transition splicing between flats, and thus collectively constructs a whole screen with a fluent convex curve.
For indoor LED display solutions, at this event, the WP series and the WP Arc series with a pixel pitch of 1.56mm were shown. The two series' can be adopted in combination or separately for different occasions.
As for the WP series, it is applicable for conference rooms, hospital reception rooms, multimedia auditoriums, and so forth. The edge thickness of its cabinets is 29.5mm, and the combined thickness is only 37mm after being mounted with thin-wire floating bracket and can be readily embedded into the wall, effectively saving interior space. Not only that, but it also has a soft brightness of 800nits and a wide viewing angle of 160°, making the visual perception vastly comfortable.
Like the WP series, the WP Arc series is also visually pleasing. This series offers impressive screen effects with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio, a high refresh rate of 3840Hz, and outstanding 14bit grayscale. The difference from the WP series is that the cabinets in the WP Arc series could be connected at a 15° angle, jointly resulting in a 120° seamless and smooth curved screen. Additionally, it supports multi-window display and is EMC Class B certified, ideally befitting for command centers, dispatch centers, and the like.
In addition to displaying audio-visual related products this time around, InfoComm also discussed product application issues considering the current social situation. "We had a great conversation about using LED and digital signage coming out of the pandemic to enliven, educate and modernize architectural spaces. There are so many compelling solutions to design and integrate for a completely energized environment," said Grif Palmer, VP of Sales, INFiLED at InfoComm Digital Signage Forum.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the size of the economy, fell by 0.3% in April, with all three main sectors suffering a fall in output for the first time since January 2021.
April’s month-on-month drop in GDP was also the biggest contraction since January 2021 and follows a fall of 0.1% in March.
Experts had been expecting growth of 0.1% in April.
The ONS said it marked the first time GDP has fallen for two months in a row since March and April 2020, when the pandemic first hit and sent the economy tumbling.
The figures showed output contracted by 0.3% in the main services sector, largely due to the ending of the Government’s Covid-19 Test and Trace programme and lower vaccination activity.
With the Test and Trace and vaccines impact stripped out, GDP would have risen by 0.1% in April, the ONS said, while it added that, in the three months to April, GDP grew by 0.2%.
But there were also declines in the manufacturing and construction sectors, down 1% and 0.4% respectively in April, with manufacturers in particular noting the impact of soaring prices and supply chain woes.
The ONS said it is seeing anecdotal evidence widely across the economy of firms being hit by record fuel and energy prices, in particular the manufacturing sector.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: “Countries around the world are seeing slowing growth, and the UK is not immune from these challenges.
“I want to reassure people, we’re fully focused on growing the economy to address the cost of living in the longer term, while supporting families and businesses with the immediate pressures they’re facing.”
He recently announced a further £21 billion support package for households to help tackle the mounting cost-of-living crisis, including a £400 discount on gas and electricity bills for every home, with measures part-funded by a windfall tax on energy firm profits.
But there are concerns that more measures will be needed, with inflation already running at 9% in the UK and expected to soar past 10% in the autumn as prices rise steadily higher.
Petrol costs have hit new records, with the average cost of filling a typical family car with petrol rising past £100 for the first time last week.
The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates for the fifth time in a row on Thursday, from 1% to 1.25%, to try to rein in rampant inflation.
Samuel Tombs, of Pantheon Macroeconomics, is forecasting the economy to contract overall between April and June as the cost-of-living crisis hits hard, but still believes the UK will dodge a full-blown recession.
He said: “A recession – two quarters of negative growth – remains unlikely.
“Households’ real disposable incomes should rise in both the third and fourth quarters now that the Chancellor has announced an extra £15 billion in grants during these quarters, equal to nearly 2% of their likely income.”
David Bharier, Head of Research at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
“The fall of 0.3% in April, following a 0.2% decrease in March, highlights the increasing stress the UK economy is under. All main sectors have seen a fall in growth, the first time since January 2021.
“This decline is the inevitable outcome of surging inflation, supply chain disruption and widespread skills shortages.
“Businesses from all sectors are facing unprecedented rises in raw material costs, soaring energy bills, and wage pressures. The introduction of an increase to employer National Insurance Contributions in April has only further added to firms’ woes.
“This declining output comes off the back of two years of significant damage sustained by small businesses, whose weakened cash positions mean that they are in a far worse position to stomach further pressure. The global aspects to all these problems mean they are likely to weigh heavily on the UK’s prospects for growth for some time.
“Output in consumer-facing services increased by 2.6% in the month, reflecting increased consumer spend on hairdressing and food services. However, the sector remains below pre-pandemic levels, highlighting the significant damage sustained from shutdowns and restrictions.
“Declining business investment remains a serious cause for concern and urgent Government action is needed to halt this fall. Cutting VAT on businesses’ energy bills to 5% would ease the squeeze on firms’ cashflow and give them some room for manoeuvre.” | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/uk-economy-activity-contracts-in-april-as-costs-crunch-sends-covid-recovery-into-reverse-3728951 | 2022-06-13T09:40:28Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/uk-economy-activity-contracts-in-april-as-costs-crunch-sends-covid-recovery-into-reverse-3728951 | false | 1 |

Under-fire Ian Baraclough urges patience with Northern Ireland rebuild
Under-pressure Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough has said his bosses at the Irish FA understand the rebuilding phase his squad are in and believes they will give him time to see it through.
For a second match running Baraclough heard chants from Northern Ireland fans calling on him to go before his side rallied from 2-0 down to snatch a stoppage-time equaliser in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Cyprus.
Although the result could have been worse, a second draw in eight days against a Cypriot side they were expected to beat handily was not what Baraclough needed to stem the tide of criticism which ramped up with Thursday’s 3-2 defeat in Kosovo, where fans chanted ‘Cheerio’ after full-time.
But though frustration has spilled over on the terraces, IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson used his programme notes on Sunday to talk of “a squad in transition”, pointing to Baraclough’s “track record of bringing young players into the squad”.
Asked if the IFA were behind what he was doing, Baraclough said: “We have a strategy that is going to develop this nation and make us stronger in the next few years.
“How do you do that if you don’t give these young players the experience? You won’t find out about them, and I think we have found out some really positive stuff in the last fortnight.”
Baraclough, who has a contract through to Euro 2024, did not help himself with a bold assertion two weeks ago that Northern Ireland were targeting 12 points from four fixtures this month, only to deliver two as their winless record in the Nations League continued.
He set that goal despite knowing he was without a string of regular first-teamers – Stuart Dallas, Craig Cathcart and Josh Magennis among them – and relying on untested teenagers like Shea Charles and Brodie Spencer.
Baraclough said: “If I had turned round at the start and said that I am aiming for three points out of these 12, you’d have gone, ‘Is this man crazy?’. Of course you are targeting four wins, but I knew what we were coming up against in Kosovo and Greece.
“I expected to beat Cyprus when we are at our full strength, yes, but going into these games and knowing that we were going in with untried and untested players…
“You don’t know what you are going to get, especially when they haven’t met each other before coming on the camp, and you have lads introducing each other not even sure who each other was.”
Baraclough has an unwanted record of only three wins in 20 competitive matches in charge, although the existence of the Nations League means managers do not get many friendlies in which to test ideas.
The 51-year-old always had a tough act to follow coming after Michael O’Neill – who had a difficult first two years himself – and hopes to get the time needed to convince fans he can deliver.
“For a few years now the fans have been used to success,” he said. “There is going to be frustration because that is not what they have been used to, but they also had a settled side of pretty senior players who have gone on to achieve something pretty amazing in 2016.
“The year after we just fall short of reaching a World Cup in a play-off and two years after that we just fall short of getting to a Euros. So these fans have been treated pretty well with what they have seen and now it is a rebuilding period.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10910881/Under-fire-Ian-Baraclough-urges-patience-Northern-Ireland-rebuild.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-13T10:08:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10910881/Under-fire-Ian-Baraclough-urges-patience-Northern-Ireland-rebuild.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 11 |
Hong Kong stocks fall most in 5 weeks on U.S. inflation, COVID worries
SHANGHAI, June 13 (Reuters) - China stocks fell on Monday and Hong Kong shares saw their biggest intraday decline since May 6, as COVID-19 uncertainty sparked worries of lockdowns, while U.S. inflation raised concerns the Federal Reserve will continue to tighten policy.
** The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 1.2% to 4,189.35, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.9% to 3,255.55 points.
** The Hang Seng index fell 3.4% to 21,067.58, while the China Enterprises Index lost 3.5% to 7,340.52 points.
** Authorities in Beijing on Monday raced to contain a COVID outbreak traced to a 24-hour bar, with millions facing mandatory testing and thousands under targeted lockdowns, while Shanghai completed mass testing for most of its 25 million residents at the weekend.
** Global equity markets slumped as the U.S. consumer price index posted an 8.6% rise last month, the largest year-on-year increase since December 1981.
** CICC analysts said A-shares might continue to rebound in bumpy trade in the short term, but performance for the second half of this year will depend on the economy's fundamentals due to both domestic and overseas uncertainties.
** New bank lending in China jumped far more than expected in May and broader credit growth also quickened as Beijing steps up policy support.
** However, 38% of the new monthly loans were in the form of short-term bill financing, suggesting real credit demand remains weak.
** "To make the credit transmission more effective, the government will likely boost infrastructure investment and relax regulation in the property sector in the coming months," said Zhiwei Zhang, chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management. "Another critical policy is to avoid excessive COVID-related policies."
** China's fund association issued guidelines on Friday designed to discourage short-termism and promote healthy development of the $3.8 trillion mutual fund industry.
** Real estate developers tumbled more than 3%, while shares in tourism, banks and infrastructure lost more than 2% each.
** Automobiles and non-ferrous metal rose more than 2% each.
** Tech giants listed in Hong Kong slumped 4.7%, with index heavyweights Alibaba, Tencent and Meituan down between 4.9% and 8%.
** New Oriental Education & Technology Group jumped 13.1%, and its online education unit Koolearn Technology closed 40% higher after soaring more than 100% in morning trade, as a live stream featuring the New Oriental chairman and an English-speaking host hawking agricultural goods went viral, SCMP reported https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3181342/new-orientals-yu-minhong-brings-back-english-teaching-live-streaming.

Solena provides farmers a customized end-to-end solution to increase their productivity by unlocking the soil's microbiome
COSTA MESA, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CerraCap Ventures, a Global Venture Capital fund headquartered in Southern California, has announced an investment in Solena AG, a soil microbiome startup helping farmers improve agricultural yields and optimize agrarian input costs.
Solena's proprietary, AI-powered Prometheus platform is the most extensive soil microdata repository in the world that turns diagnostics data into insights and customized microbial inoculant recommendations. Solena analyses the soil biome, identifies shortcomings and recommends custom microbial inoculants to help farmers maximize the crop quality and, hence, their RoI and profitability. Solena has covered 500 acres in California and Mexico and aims to focus on select high-value crops and global expansion next.
On the investment, Ritesh Agarwal, Partner, CerraCap Ventures, said, "CerraCap has an established track record of supporting high potential B2B startups usher in the next wave of digital innovation. Solena AG, with its competent leadership team and CEO Irving Riviera, are on a mission to help the agriculture industry solve an imminent soil crisis. Their customized approach to helping a large cross-section of farmers improve their output and quality is unique and harnesses the potential of modern technology for scale. Their pilots on high-value crops and the high repeat action of farmers before each crop cycle are great indicators of their analytical prowess and tangible value provided to farmers. We are optimistic that Solena and CerraCap will be able to greatly impact the need to provide global food security ten years in the future."
The agricultural industry is facing multiple challenges, like the dependence of certain crops on fertilizers and pesticides, the exhaustion of aquifers, the pollution resulting from these activities, and the increasing demand for food products versus the decrease of returns due to climate change. The market demand for corrective soil action is primarily on account of the over-exploitation of soil by farmers and using a one-size-fits-all approach. The company measures, appraises and improves farmers' biological capital and offers a sampling kit to provide measurement and valuation results for the soil, enabling farmers to access tools to achieve a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to current-day agriculture.
Welcoming CerraCap Ventures on this mission-critical journey, Irving Riviera, Co-Founder and CEO of Solena AG, said, "We are tackling the constant degradation of the very foundation of agriculture, the soil. We hope they can reduce their dependence on inorganic chemicals and pesticides by empowering farmers and agricultural organizations to improve their soil health. Our approach is simple, affordable and yet impactful. By collating the world's largest data set of the soil microbiome, we are confident that we can achieve scale and positively impact farmers globally. By making agriculture harmonious with nature, we will help farmers raise profits while improving the quality of food we eat every day.
Solena's proprietary Prometheus data mining platform is an ever-growing biorepository that turns data into insights driving molecular soil health diagnosis and developing customized microbial-based bio-inoculants. Farmers receive a personalized recommendation to improve crop profitability through a functional characterization, biocontrol activities in soil, and production of solutions specifically tailored for each farm and crop type and before each crop cycle. Solena will expand its reach of soil testing centers, bolster team composition and improve R&D capabilities with this latest round of funding.

Erling Haaland believes he has joined the “perfect” club to realise his lofty ambitions after formally completing his £51 million move to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund.
City announced on Monday that Haaland had signed a five-year contract that will tie him to the Premier League champions until June 2027.
One of the most exciting young players in the world, Haaland’s capture is a significant coup for City as they bid to cement their domestic dominance and finally win the Champions League and the 21-year-old striker says he cannot wait to get started.
“This is a proud day for me and my family,” said Haaland, the son of former City midfielder Alfe-Inge Haaland.
“I have always watched City and have loved doing so in recent seasons. You can’t help but admire their style of play, it’s exciting and they create a lot of chances, which is perfect for a player like me.”
Haaland – who scored 86 goals in 89 games for Dortmund and took his tally for Norway to 20 goals in 21 appearances with a brace in Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Norway – believes City manager Pep Guardiola will help to propel his game to new heights.
“There are so many world-class players in this squad and Pep is one of the greatest managers of all-time, so I believe I am in the right place to fulfil my ambitions,” he said.
“I want to score goals, win trophies, and improve as a footballer and I am confident I can do that here. This is a great move for me, and I can’t wait to get started in pre-season.”
Haaland’s contract is worth around £400,000 a week and will make him the club’s highest earner alongside midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
His arrival at City ends the club’s search for a long-term replacement for Sergio Agüero, who exited in June last year after a decade at the club.
City looked to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham last summer but could not strike a deal for the England striker and instead focused their efforts fully on Haaland.
'He is a huge talent and one of the best strikers in Europe'
Ferran Soriano, the City chief executive, has already said Haaland will require some time to settle in as he adjusts to Guardiola’s style of football and the intensity of the Premier League but the club believe he will prove an enormous asset.
“We have been monitoring Erling for several years now, so we are delighted to bring him here to Manchester City,” Txiki Begiristain, the City director of football, said.
“He is a huge talent and has been one of the best strikers in Europe over the last few seasons. His goal-scoring record is exceptional and his performances at Borussia Dortmund and in the Champions League in particular have proved he can succeed at the highest level.
“Erling has everything we want in a striker, and we are certain he will excel in this squad and this system.
“His rise has been remarkable, but he is still only 21. His best years are ahead of him, and we are confident he can get even better working with Pep.
“This is a very exciting signing for our club, and I am sure our fans will enjoy watching Erling perform in this team.” | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/06/13/erling-haaland-signs-five-year-contract-perfect-manchester-city/ | 2022-06-13T10:25:13Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/06/13/erling-haaland-signs-five-year-contract-perfect-manchester-city/ | false | 1 |

Regulation needed to get consumers refund for faulty products
New Delhi: Despite a law protecting consumers against defective goods, getting a replacement or a refund for such goods has become an extremely uphill task for consumers.
Whether it is an automobile or a household appliance, a newly purchased product should come out of the factory only after it is thoroughly checked for its performance. And when a consumer buys that product, it should work flawlessly, satisfactorily, without a hitch. In the rarest of rare cases where the product is found to have a flaw or a defect, the manufacturer should immediately give a defect-free replacement. That is how the consumer’s right to defect-free goods should work.
However, certain ambiguity in the Consumer Protection Act, conservative and often contradictory interpretation of the law by the consumer courts , miserly computation of compensation and the inordinate delays in the process of adjudication , have all combined to make it next to impossible for consumers to get justice vis-à-vis defective goods.
Another related problem is in respect of expensive consumer durables which pack up in just about six months or a year. In many such cases, after several attempts at repair , the manufacturer offers a replacement at about 50 per cent of the cost of the brand new product. Given the fact that these products are supposed to last about ten to fifteen years , such offer is most unfair. In fact the short life span of a home appliance is an indication of its poor quality. Yet, in the absence of a standard fixing the minimum life cycle for these goods or the percentage of depreciation over the years, consumers do not have a strong bargaining point.
The Consumer Protection Act gives consumer courts the option of directing the manufacturer to either repair the defective product or give a replacement or a refund. Manufacturers are most reluctant to replace defective goods and consumer courts too in most cases order repairs. Why should a consumer accept a repaired product after paying the full price for a new one?
So what consumers need is a regulation under the CP Act to pave the way for refund or replacement of flawed products and adequate compensation for the harassment undergone on account of such goods. So first and foremost, the regulation should make it obligatory on the part of the manufacturer/retailer to replace a product that fails to perform satisfactorily .
Secondly, even though the definition of ‘defect’ under the CP Act is very broad and includes any fault, imperfection or shortcoming in the quality , there is no consistency in the way the consumer courts have interpreted it and this needs to be rectified through the regulation.
A recent order of the apex consumer court pertaining to a complaint about a dishwasher is an example. While the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed the manufacturer and the dealer to refund the cost of the machine and pay compensation to the consumer, the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held a contrary view and set aside the order of the lower consumer court.
The apex consumer court in turn pointed out that neither the district nor the state commission had recorded any conclusive finding of an inherent defect in the machine! On the ground that the consumer had used the new machine for ten months and the stand-by machine for several years during the course of the case, the Commission ordered a compensation of only ₹10,000 and costs of ₹5000 and said the substitute machine need not be returned by the consumer. And this battle , from the time the consumer first filed the complaint, lasted ten years.(Sangeeta Singh Vs IFB Industries, RP no 598 of 2019 )
If a machine fails to perform the way it should, does it not constitute a fault, imperfection or shortcoming in the quality? Why should there be further proof of ‘defect’? The CP Act makes it clear that a product needs to be tested in a laboratory only if the defect cannot be determined without such a test. Yet, there is a lot of confusion on what constitutes proof of defect, with consumer courts taking divergent views. There is an urgent need for clarification here.
Finally, unless consumer courts stick to the time-limit prescribed in the law for adjudication of complaints , there would be no consumer justice. In fact complaints whose value is less than ₹2 lakh should be heard without lawyers, without adjournments and in one hearing. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/regulation-needed-to-get-consumers-refund-for-faulty-products-101655112843551-amp.html | 2022-06-13T10:33:02Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/regulation-needed-to-get-consumers-refund-for-faulty-products-101655112843551-amp.html | true | 1 |

An unhappy, restive mood prevails at the Ford factory Maraimala Nagar, 50 km from Chennai, and the surrounding area.
The security is tight — not just Ford security personnel but also Tamil Nadu state police who are posted at the main gate.
From September 9, when Ford India announced it was phasing out its units in India and leaving, workers at its manufacturing unit at Maraimala Nagar have held onto one hope: that the state government will step in to save their jobs.
That is what happened to Ford’s vehicle assembly plant at Sanand in Gujarat.
Tata Motors took it over, avoiding layoffs.
When the situation was not replayed in Maraimala Nagar, those hopes were dashed.
Around 1,200 workers started a sit-in on the factory premises.
Another 800 employees have been protesting on the shop floor.
No journalist is allowed in but from outside, one can see employees sitting around in groups, mostly men and some women.
Those workers who agreed to come outside onto the road were wary about speaking to the media, reluctant to go on the record either for fear of possible company backlash or fear that they won’t get a job if a new company takes over the plant.
“We were slow to start the protests, thinking that someone will take over the unit like Tata Motors did at Sanand.
"We needed jobs or else were battling for a good severance package. Both are being denied now,” said one worker who refused to be named.
After 25 years, Ford India decided to close operations because of years of accumulated losses, persistent industry overcapacity, and lack of expected growth in India's car market.
The news came as a big blow to customers and Ford workers.
The closure of the Ford factory at Maraimala Nagar will affect a total of around 40,000 jobs in total because the factory jobs are linked to many ancillary units which employ unorganised workers.
The protests, which have received scant media attention, started after a Tata subsidiary, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with Ford India and the Gujarat government to take over the unit given that Ford was leaving India.
But no one has stepped in to take over the Maraimala Nagar factory and hopes of any such development are fading.
“Talks are on with the Ford management. There is no solution package so far,” said Arun Sanjivi, secretary of the Chennai Ford workers union.
The engine unit has already ceased production.
The rest of the factory is scheduled to close at the end of the second quarter.
The workers are demanding 135 days’ salary for every year of service.
Although the details are not clear, it is believed Ford was offering 85 days’ pay for every year, in addition to a fixed sum of around Rs 42,500 for every completed year.
The workers are also seeking ‘tax relief’ from the government on any severance package.
Some of the workers who walked out onto the street to talk to the Business Standard were afraid to make any statement about the severance package they want lest it jeopardise the talks.
At least four rounds of talks have taken place with the government and the union.
“The engine unit operation closed in March but the employees continue to be on rolls.
"There is no loss of employment till we conclude discussions with the union.
"That shows the company’s commitment to the process.
"The standoff is unfortunate when the discussions are going on,” said a Ford India source.
The company feels the demands of the employees are much higher than the industry standard.
But the workers see it differently.
“If someone can take over Sanand, why not our unit? The state government should do more to ensure that the land and the employees won’t get affected,” said another employee who grumbled about how the media was not giving them a voice by ignoring their protest. | https://www.rediff.com/business/report/auto-will-tamil-nadu-govt-step-in-to-rescue-ford-india-workers/20220613.htm | 2022-06-13T10:35:57Z | https://www.rediff.com/business/report/auto-will-tamil-nadu-govt-step-in-to-rescue-ford-india-workers/20220613.htm | true | 1 |

When in power, the Coalition government avoided its national and global responsibilities to act on a transition to renewables. It poured billions of dollars into subsidising fossil-fuel companies, it promoted the fiction that emissions could be offset by the failed carbon capture and storage, and it assured us (in 2020) that gas would lead the country to “recovery”. Strangely, since the electorate has shown a deal of understanding about these matters by voting, in many instances, in favour of ″greener″ policies, many in the Coalition continue to try to promote (non-renewable, unsafe and expensive) nuclear.
Tim Smith, outgoing state Liberal MP, says, “Any serious opposition or government must at the very least put nuclear energy on the table” (The Age, 12/6). Why must they? His federal counterparts, having failed to attend to national energy security for a decade, continue to push yet another unpopular idea.
Why so allergic to renewables?

Ditch the other plastic pests
We have made progress with banning plastic bags and straws (terrific) but there are other insidious plastic pests. Those tiny plastic sachets of tomato sauce! I see them discarded everywhere. There must be billions floating in the ocean by now. If you are ″of a certain age″, you will remember when a squeezy bottle of sauce on the shop counter got the job done.

The link between nuclear power and weapons
Peter Dutton’s push for Australia to develop a nuclear power industry raises the hugest red flag for peace activists. The nuclear fuel cycle for nuclear power is necessary to produce plutonium-239 and uranium-235, essential for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. That connection between nuclear power and nuclear weapons has always been kept well hidden by governments. In fact, the UK’s first nuclear power stations were built primarily to provide fissionable material for nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
The argument that nuclear weapons sustain peace is disproved by Russia’s blackmailing threats of a nuclear war for its invasion of Ukraine. It is now urgent for world peace and life as we know it that all nations, including Australia, join the 61 state parties that have already signed and ratified the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty. That issue should be on the table well before any discussion of our beautifully sustainable energy-rich Australia considering an opaque, hierarchical nuclear power industry.

Stop demonising forestry industry
It’s time to stop demonising the forestry industry, and keep forestry workers safe. In Scandinavia and North America, forestry and timber production is rightly seen as an important part of the climate solution. Sustainable forestry produces the only renewable resource used in building and construction – timber.
Concrete and bricks are produced through energy-intensive processes and result in materials that, unlike timber, do not store carbon and are not bio-degradable. Forestry is the only industry with net negative carbon emissions. That is, the replanting of harvested forests captures and stores more carbon as new trees grow, while the harvested timber continues to hold the carbon it has captured.
The Australian National Greenhouse Accounts April 2021 show that in 2019 forest land (including harvested and replanted forests) had net negative carbon emissions of 54,651 million tonnes. Harvested wood products had net negative emissions of 4815 million tonnes. VicForests reportedly harvests (and replants) around 3000 hectares a year – just 0.4 per cent of Victoria’s total forest area. It seems that when it comes to “accepting the science” in relation to climate change, it is a very selective exercise for some.

A sneaky tax
Stamp duty on property sales is a tax on transacting a business. Investment properties already attract land and capital gains taxes as these are taxes on transacting a business.
Taxing the family home (land) is not a tax on transacting a business, it is a short, cynical step away from death duties. For those who reach retirement owning their own home and trying to eke out a living on what for many will be minimal superannuation (or a pension), land tax would amount to pre-death duties, forcing them to use vehicles such as reverse mortgages to cover the debt.
Imagine reaching old age and needing to sell the family home for you and/or your partner to go into care, but you can’t as you no longer own enough of it to do so, you’ve taxed out of it. Direct death duties may be a “no go” for politicians, but it appears the idea of a sneaky backdoor tax is not.

Show some compassion
Where is the compassion? Jeff Kennett calls for a two-year ban without pay for Bailey Smith. The founding chairman of Beyond Blue, “an organisation working to reduce the impact of depression and anxiety in the community” has shown an astounding lack of understanding and empathy. Kennett suggests the ban would offer ″a significant deterrence″. How about possibly ruining a young life? As Mitch Wallis said, ″No young person is immune from making a bad decision or two.″

Loren Bridge’s assertion that attending a girls’ school will lead to a higher likelihood of a leadership position should be challenged (“Why girls’ schools succeed at producing women who lead”, 13/6). Bridge, executive officer of the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasia, seems to be mistaking correlation with causality. There may well be a correlation between leadership and school, but the sheer fact of attending a girls’ school (or a boys’ school for that matter) should not be interpreted as being the major determinant factor in gaining a leadership position.
Many studies have shown that the major factor in determining success in education and further advancement through life and work is a students’ socioeconomic status. Students who attend private schools are more likely to have parents with higher socioeconomic positions. This is more likely to be a factor in determining success.

Gas still has a role
In March 2021, retiring chief scientist Alan Finkel confirmed why renewable energy adoption would need a natural gas buffer to help phase out coal-fired generators. Despite objections from many fellow scientists, this appears to be a most pragmatic option. Many people, sitting in their gas-warmed homes right now, will agree.
Andrew Smith, Leongatha
Assange’s rights
The editorial (13/6) writes about the need to change the law to protect journalists from being gagged or sued for exposing corrupt or illegal practices. I concur and would hope that they equally pursue the rights of Julian Assange for his publishing of the abuses perpetrated by the US in pursuit of its foreign policies.
Alan Inchley, Frankston
True caring
You are so right, Jamila (Life Matters, 5/6). Female carers are the backbone of the country. I’m disabled, and one of my carers cared so much for my wellbeing during my isolation period with COVID that she continued to care for me in my home, wearing all her PPE for days. Now that’s what I call caring.
Donna Fotiou, Blackburn South
Keep referendum simple
Who is seriously objecting to the prime minister appointing the governor-general? Where are the public rallies against this process? Where is the dissent? Where is the anger? There being none, why are we so blind to the extraordinary success and stability this process has given us for the past 91 years?
A referendum must ask: “Do you support Australia becoming a republic by replacing the monarch with the governor-general?” Only a very simple proposal will have any chance of success, the more so if that proposal, by its very nature, also reaffirms our uncontroversial, long-term successful, governor-general selection process. We could modify the title, the role and the process later if so inclined. Trying to do so before the establishment of a republic, as is currently the case, is simply to guarantee that yet another complex referendum question will fail, as they
always do.
Needless complexity was the method chosen by John Howard to make certain the 1999 referendum would fail.
William Hennessy, Clifton Hill
Appreciate birds’ beauty
Why is there so little government encouragement to “walk, camp, kayak and watch birds on Victorian wetlands” for health and tourism benefits (Letters, 13/6)? We have beautiful waterbirds and peaceful Ramsar treaty wetlands of international significance. Where are the stunning documentaries and virtual wildlife experiences to attract tourists?
Instead our taxes promote the maiming and shooting of waterbirds by a decreasing handful of blokes. Victoria belongs to us all, and so does its amazing wildlife, which is being decimated year by year. It’s time Premier Daniel Andrews listened to his party members – and most Victorians – who abhor duck shooting.
Joan Reilly, Surrey Hills
Unhealthy approach
My granddaughter works at one of the large private hospitals in Melbourne. Each day she is run off her feet, overwhelmed by the amount of work in these times of health crisis, but does her best to help her patients while sometimes having to work a 12-hour shift. The next day, she does it all again. What a slap in the face for her and her fellow health workers in the private sector to be told they are not eligible for the $3000 thank-you and morale booster given to the public sector.
What is the real basis for this discrimination?
Pamela Anne King, Bridgewater
Give player a break
Footballers are footballers, not elected representatives. Why would we make front-page news, for days, of a 20-year-old caught out dabbling, idiotically, in an illicit drug? Yes he is a privileged young bloke, but he’s a kid who doesn’t need to be excoriated in public, no doubt at great cost to his wellbeing, for something that could have been well dealt with in-house.
Julian Guy, Mount Eliza
The simple things
Thank you Maida Pineda (″Caring can start with a simple hello″, 13/6) for reminding us of the importance and value of a simple word like ″hello″. Throughout my teaching and parenting over four decades, my mantra to students and my own children was to remember three little words: ″please″, ″hello″ and ″thank you″ in all they do.
Nick Toovey, Beaumaris
Nuclear madness
I agree it’s a shameful waste to give almost a billion dollars of taxpayer funds to France in compensation for the submarine deal cancelled nine months ago (Letters, 13/6). But has it occurred to your correspondent that it could be an even more shameful waste to be spending $100 billion-plus on eight nuclear submarines that may or may not be delivered in 20 to 30 years’ time.
By then, the countries with advanced technologies will in all likelihood have developed mini-drone submarines able to be deployed in large numbers and capable of lurking indefinitely until they detect and destroy any hostile nuclear submarines such as those we’ve set our sights on – thereby making our subs about as useful as an 18th-century man-o’-war.
And, of course, if ever one of our nuclear subs did fire a shot in anger – something never achieved in 30years by our fleet of Collins class subs – it would in all likelihood set off a holocaust you wouldn’t want to survive.
Ron Burnstien, Heidelberg
One rule for all
If a sportsperson can have their career ended for bringing their profession into disrepute, then surely the same rules should apply to judges, lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, actors, etc. They too are role models for the community.
Margaret Jackson, Camberwell
Nodding off
Could politicians dispense with the ″noddies″ standing behind a minister and nodding in a self-satisfied manner as he/she delivers their spiel on the news? If the words don’t convince us, the yes-people won’t.
Mick Webster, Chiltern
Chew on this
Gillon McLachlan, the retiring AFL chief executive, is in denial about the principal reasons for the decline in crowds at matches, one of those reasons being the outrageous prices charged for food and drinks.
Michael Gamble, Belmont
AND ANOTHER THING
The republic
Sir Robert Menzies fawned on the then-new Queen and wanted to call the Australian dollar the “Royal”. We can respect our British heritage but it is time to cut the apron strings.
Greg Curtin, Blackburn South
Is it possible to become a republic without a president?
Corrado Tavella, Rosslyn Park, SA
Furthermore
Missing in the list of honours are the names of the ordinary, “for heroic service as nurse, doctor, cleaner, caterer, etc to Australia during the gravest threat of COVID”. Award them all an AC.
George Reed, Wheelers Hill

Thai Farmers Feed Chicken Cannabis Instead Of Antibiotics, Improves Consumer Safety
One of the worst nightmares for the farming community is having their animals fall ill.
In northern Thailand, farmers found that their chicken brood was suffering from avian bronchitis despite antibiotics injections.
They then took a rather unconventional route — they fed their chickens cannabis.
Farmers are now claiming that this new feeding regimen has improved the quality of their chickens’ meat and eggs.
Cannabis-fed chickens have better immunity
According to The Straits Times (ST), a farming community in Lampang, Thailand, has been feeding its chickens cannabis.
On Saturday (11 Jun), President of the Peth Lanna community enterprise Sirin Chaemthet said farmers opted for marijuana after their brood suffered from avian bronchitis.
This happened even after the chickens had been injected with antibiotics.
The novel experiment was conducted in collaboration with Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Agriculture.
After consuming cannabis, the chickens reportedly developed higher immunity against disease. They were also able to withstand harsher weather.
Farmers eventually did away with antibiotics completely, relying only on cannabis.
Since then, they claimed that the feeding regimen has improved the quality of their chicken meat and eggs.
Received good feedback
The community enterprise has been selling its chicken meat at S$4 (100 baht) per kg and eggs at S$0.24 (6 baht) per egg, said ST.
Besides that, the enterprise sells chicken rice and plans to sell roast chicken in the future.
Thus far, chicken rice made from cannabis-fed chicken has received a good response, said Ms Sirin.
According to The Nation Thailand, these products fulfil the demands of customers who want healthy and organic food.
Antibiotics in chicken meat can harm consumers’ health
It seems that pivoting to cannabis might be a good long-term move.
Thailand’s National Farmers Council president Prapat Panyachatrak warned that antibiotics in chicken meat and eggs could harm consumers’ health.
It can result in declining immunity and allergies, reported The Nation Thailand.
Cannabis, on the other hand, not only ensures consumers’ safety but also boosts the commercial value of chicken products.
Great to see farmers innovating
Recently, the world — including Singapore and Malaysia — has been concerned about chicken supply shortage.
According to CNN, this is primarily due to extreme weather and Covid-related supply chain issues, as well as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushing up feed and antibiotics prices.
In the face of such conditions, it is great to see farmers innovating and finding different ways to improve their products.

A tundra wildfire continued to creep closer to an Alaska Native community in southwest Alaska, but mandatory evacuations have not been ordered, fire officials said Sunday.
The East Fork fire was within 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) of St. Mary’s, a statement from Alaska Wildland Fire Information said.
Even though it had moved 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) closer to the Yup’ik community since Saturday, fire managers said the progress has slowed somewhat because of favorable weather conditions. The temperatures were slightly cooler with rising humidity, which could help moderate fire conditions. However, winds are expected to remain steady out of the north, helping move the fire toward populated areas.
The fire is burning in dry grass and shrubs like alder and willow in the mostly treeless tundra in southwest Alaska. The fire was started by lightning May 31.
Firefighters are working to strengthen primary and secondary fire lines protecting St. Mary’s and the nearby communities of Pitkas Point and Mountain Village and properties, including cabins, between them. No structures have been lost in the fire.
The fire is also 10 miles (16 kilometers) from another community, Pilot Station. Firefighters were expected to evaluate options of opening a preexisting fire line around that community.
Another fire northwest of the East Fork fire is growing, but it still about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Mountain Village.
There are 204 personnel working the East Fork fire, which has grown to 190 square miles (492 square kilometers). Additional personnel are expected to arrive Monday, when even more favorable weather conditions are also expected, including increased cloud cover, higher humidity and cooler temperatures. Officials also said the front may switch the wind direction to the southwest, which would help push the fire away from villages.
Even though there are no mandatory evacuations, the combined 700 residents of St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point, located about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south, have been on alert since Friday to prepare for possible evacuation.
Nearly 150 residents from the affected communities have already temporarily relocated to the southwest Alaska hub community of Bethel.
St. Mary’s is located about 450 miles (724 kilometers) west of Anchorage. | https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-alaska-native-community/ | 2022-06-13T10:39:26Z | https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-alaska-native-community/ | true | 31 |

Music composer Tanuj Tiku talks about the making of Laal Singh Chaddha
”Over 150 people involved in making the score,” says Laal Singh Chaddha composer Tanuj Tiku.
The crew members of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha who stayed for two weeks at Panchgani's home told a tale of "the extraordinary journey of an ordinary man". The brief given to score composer Tanuj Tiku was simple. "It was a slice-of-life film. Aamir sir likes Panchgani, which is why we worked there with a bunch of musicians. We played live, jammed together, and created the thematic music there. Within two weeks, all the thematic material and character motifs were readied," says Tiku, further crediting Aamir Khan and the director Advait Chandan for cultivating an environment of creativity in a leading daily.
"The culture at Aamir's production house, and Advait's relationship with him, is noteworthy. There is always a plan in place, but the process is organic. We watched the film and immediately decided to jump into the score composition. My team and I began to ideate, and we [primarily used] the violin, piano, and guitar. We'd perform the themes to him live, and the first few days were simply spent in sampling these [chunks], listening to music and creating different colour palettes for different characters and themes, based on the brief."
Tiku was certain that he wanted orchestral influences to be apparent in the score in keeping with its theme. He admits that generating a score of over 19 minutes posed a set of challenges, especially since it had to be recorded live. "But the story is beautiful, and we wanted the score to complement it. The harmonic language and the simplicity of the character are at the film's core. There are musical layers that help narrate the story. Over 150 people have worked on the score, including 75 musicians from the orchestra. The music for the trailer was recorded in Budapest."
Laal Singh Chaddha, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios, also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni.

The rupee plunged 20 paise to close at an all-time low of 78.13 against the US dollar on Monday, as a lacklustre trend in domestic equities and stronger greenback overseas weighed on investor sentiments.
Forex traders said weak Asian currencies and persistent foreign capital outflows were the other major factors that dragged the local unit down.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened at 78.20 and witnessed an intra-day high of 78.02 and a low of 78.29 against the US dollar.
The local unit finally settled at its all-time low of 78.13, down 20 paise over its previous close.
On Friday, the rupee had tumbled 19 paise to close at a record low of 77.93 against the US dollar.
"The Indian rupee, taking cues from weaker regional currencies plummeted to a life low. The dollar extended gains on Monday as US treasury yields rose after Friday's inflation shock raised speculation of a more aggressive rate hike from the Federal Reserve this Wednesday," Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
Parmar further noted that after Friday's US inflation data, money markets are pricing a 175 bps hike by its September decision, implying two half points and one 75 bps hike.
"The last 75 bps hike by the Fed was made in November 1994.
"Spot USD/INR is expected to trade higher and a cross above 78.30 will pave way for 78.50 and 78.70 while on the downside 77.70 acts as support," Parmar noted.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.55 per cent to 104.71.
Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.58 per cent to USD 120.08 per barrel.
On the domestic equity market front, the BSE Sensex ended 1,456.74 points or 2.68 per cent lower at 52,846.70, while the broader NSE Nifty tanked 427.40 points or 2.64 per cent to 15,774.40.
Continuing their selling spree, foreign institutional investors offloaded shares worth a net Rs 3,973.95 crore on Friday, as per stock exchange data.

Indian-origin nursing home employee in Singapore fined for theft, cheating
The court heard that in 2019, Latha, who was a health assistant at Woodlands Care Home, was assigned to care for the victim, a 65-year-old man. On November 21, 2019, Latha used the card entrusted to her to withdraw SGD1,000 in cash, committing theft, said the prosecution.

An Indian-origin nursing home employee was fined SGD4,000 on Monday after she pleaded guilty earlier to theft and cheating an elderly resident. Latha Narayanan, 59, stole an ATM card belonging to an elderly resident she was assigned to look after and withdrew SGD1,000 in cash. She also used the card to buy food and toiletries at a supermarket. Two other similar charges against Latha were taken into consideration during sentencing, according to a report by The Straits Times. The court heard that in 2019, Latha, who was a health assistant at Woodlands Care Home, was assigned to care for the victim, a 65-year-old man. He died in January 2021, according to court documents. The court heard that sometime in 2019, the man forgot the PIN number for his ATM card and Latha accompanied him to the bank to obtain a new code after a regular hospital visit. The man received his new PIN number in the presence of Latha and placed his ATM card in the pocket of his phone cover. He then handed the device to her for safekeeping. On November 21, 2019, Latha used the card entrusted to her to withdraw SGD1,000 in cash, committing theft, said the prosecution. She then used the card on Nov 25 to pay for SGD73 worth of food and toiletries at a supermarket in Woodlands, dishonestly inducing staff at the store to make the transaction. The offences came to light when the elderly man reported to the police on November 27 that he lost his ATM card and that unauthorised withdrawals had been made from his bank account. This was not Latha's first brush with the law. In 2017, she was fined SGD600 for property-related thefts, according to court documents. Seeking a fine of SGD4,000, the prosecution said that the total amount involved in Latha's case was SGD1,870, noting that restitution was made in the form of a donation to the Singapore Cancer Society on Feb 9 this year. In mitigation, defence lawyer Ashwin Ganapathy, who also sought a fine of SGD4,000, said Latha was committed to making restitution despite needing months to gather the funds. He told the court in an earlier session that Latha had been a victim of bullying in her youth and endured abuse in her marriage. She was also abused by the victim whom she cared for at the nursing home, Ashwin added. The penalty for theft and cheating is a jail term of up to three years and a fine.

Defense Minister Hulusi Akar discussed bilateral and regional issues with his Polish counterpart Mariusz Blazczak in a phone call on Monday.
The two ministers touched upon bilateral and regional defense and security issues, as well as cooperation in the defense industry sector, Demirören News Agency (DHA) reported.
Poland's purchase of Turkish armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) earlier in 2021 marked the first time a NATO or European Union member state acquired drones from Turkey.
Polish President Andrzej Duda had previously described Turkey as Warsaw's "strongest ally" in its region, saying he believes that the two countries can fend off outside threats from within NATO's framework.

On Tuesday, May 31, the Canadian government made a ruling that was the first of its kind for the country. Starting on January 31, 2023, the province of British Columbia will conduct a trial—lasting three years—in which people over the age of 18 will be able to possess up to 2.5 grams of opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA without arrest, seizure, or charge. Canada joins a handful of countries with existing decriminalization policies; others include Portugal, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and the United States (Oregon decriminalized possessing small amounts of hard drugs back in 2020).
A decriminalized drug resides in a constitutional no-man’s land, neither legal nor illegal. The policy essentially entails that possession won’t result in handcuffs and that a substance use disorder won’t be treated as a crime. “This is long overdue,” says Daniel Werb, director of the Center on Drug Policy Evaluation at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. “This is something that people have understood for a really long time—that you can’t arrest your way out of this problem.”
And a problem it is indeed. The war on drugs has waged on for half a century, and the writing’s on the wall: It’s clearly not working. “The record is clear that the global war on drugs has been a total catastrophic policy failure,” says Ben Perrin, a law professor at the University of British Columbia and author of Overdose: Heartbreak and Hope in Canada’s Opioid Crisis. Criminalizing drug use disproportionately targets the marginalized, including Black and Indigenous communities, the unhoused, and people with mental illness. And the stigma stemming from criminalization means that people are less likely to seek help, and more likely to use drugs alone, which contributes to higher rates of overdose.
But advocates of drug policy reform say decriminalization—or “decrim”—is just the first in a long list of major overhauls needed to address Canada’s catastrophic opioid epidemic. While a laudable policy move, the decision is but a bandage on this gaping wound, which only worsened throughout the pandemic. British Columbia is the epicenter of the crisis in Canada and has one of the highest rates of drug-related deaths in North America. The province’s opioid epidemic was declared a public health emergency in April 2016, and since then more than 9,400 people have died from overdoses.
Decrim advocates staunchly argue that bringing law enforcement into the equation has done nothing to lower that number. Plus, Canadian research shows that people who are incarcerated—whether for drug-related reasons or not—are at a substantial risk of overdosing upon release; one study found that in the two weeks after someone left prison, their risk of overdosing was more than 50 times higher than in the general population. Another found that one in 10 overdose deaths are in people who left prison in the last year. “In other words, jails are like a death sentence for many people with substance use disorders,” says Perrin.
Criminalization exacerbates a vicious cycle of poverty, stigma, discrimination, unemployment, and recidivism, all of which makes it harder to then stabilize substance use, says Adeeba Kamarulzaman, president of the International AIDS Society. (Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations, once said, “A criminal record for a young person for a minor drug offense can be a far greater threat to their well-being than occasional drug use.”) | https://www.wired.com/story/canada-moves-to-decriminalize-possession-of-hard-drugs/ | 2022-06-13T11:15:44Z | https://www.wired.com/story/canada-moves-to-decriminalize-possession-of-hard-drugs/ | true | 1 |
Haaland announcement video explained: Man City's £51m man recreates childhood photo in 2009 club kit
Manchester City's £51 million ($62m) man Erling Haaland recreated a childhood photo of himself wearing the club's 2008-2009 kit in his official announcement video.
City confirmed they had reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign Haaland at the start of May, and were finally able to officially unveil the striker on Monday morning.
The 21-year-old has committed his future to the Premier League champions until 2027, following in the footsteps of his father Alfe Inge Haaland who played for the Manchester club between 2000 and 2003.

How did City announce Haaland's arrival?
City confirmed Haaland's arrival on June 13, the same day his father joined their ranks 22 years ago, in a video that will resonate with fans across Manchester.
A much younger Haaland posed for a photo wearing a City strip that was released ahead of the completion of the club's Abu Dhabi takeover in 2008, sitting casually on a sofa with a cheeky smirk on his face.
The Norwegian sat in exactly the same position in his unveiling video, but as nice extra touch, he winked at the camera before holding up the original image in a symbolic gesture to complete his full-circle journey. | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/haaland-announcement-video-man-city-s-gbp51m-man-recreates/blt86728e99faa7b343 | 2022-06-13T11:16:59Z | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/haaland-announcement-video-man-city-s-gbp51m-man-recreates/blt86728e99faa7b343 | true | 10 |
Health Plan Contributes $100,000 to BCA Pediatrics to Improve Access in Underserved Areas
RUIDOSO, N.M., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Sky Community Care (Western Sky) announced today it has contributed $100,000 to support a new BCA Pediatrics (BCA) location in Ruidoso to help invest in the local community and improve access to pediatric care in rural New Mexico. BCA Pediatrics, which is based in Roswell and has six clinics across the state, expanded to Ruidoso in early June, with an aim to provide pediatric care to community members in the surrounding area.
"Ruidoso is an underserved area without a current pediatric presence or pediatric specialty. Currently, if there is a pediatric need, our members go to the hospital. Western Sky's partnership with BCA is part of a statewide initiative to increase access to care in rural communities, foster better health, and help New Mexicans thrive," said Chris Hummer, President and CEO of Western Sky Community Care.
This summer, Western Sky and BCA will also host a number of events in Ruidoso to help invest in community health and address health equity, such as "Shots for Shoes," an initiative designed to encourage childhood immunizations and provide new shoes to school-aged children for the upcoming school year.
"Over the years, BCA Pediatrics has enjoyed a productive and beneficial partnership with Western Sky. Their recent assistance in helping BCA Pediatrics to become established in Ruidoso has been invaluable and is greatly appreciated. We know the community will benefit, and we are excited about providing pediatric healthcare in this underserved area. We look forward to our continued partnership with Western Sky for many more years to come," said Roe Vandenbout, Branch Manager, BCA Pediatrics.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, is not going for a second mandate. She announced this in Geneva on Monday.
“As my term of High Commissioner expires, this 50th session of the Council will be the last at which I speak,” said Chile’s former president before the United Nations Human Rights Council. Bachelet, who is now seventy years old, did not elaborate on the reason for her decision. Until now, it was not known what Bachelet was planning. Many diplomats turned out to be unaware on Monday.
Bachelet was the first woman to become president of Chile. She herself was a victim of torture during the regime of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. She succeeded Antonio Guterres as UN human rights commissioner in 2018. Her term of office expires at the end of August.
Bachelet received much criticism from the United States, but also from human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. They accused her of being too lax about human rights violations in China. | https://shepherdgazette.com/michelle-bachelet-will-not-succeed-herself-as-un-human-rights-commissioner/ | 2022-06-13T11:23:55Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/michelle-bachelet-will-not-succeed-herself-as-un-human-rights-commissioner/ | false | 1 |
The Muse Machine, Dayton’s revered arts education organization, presents the 2010 musical comedy “The Addams Family” June 17-19 at the Victoria Theatre.
Postponed earlier this year due to rising COVID-19 cases, the troupe’s 37th annual student musical is finally ready for audiences. The cast and creative team have been busy polishing various aspects in rehearsals.
“We’ve had a little time to revisit and update the choreography and staging of the show in a few ways we’re really pleased to see,” said producer Douglas Merk. “We’re thrilled to be reunited with all the students again. There’s such momentum now, (a) building energy to the dances and humor. It’s a joyful place to be.”
Based on characters created by Charles Addams and featuring a score by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (“Jersey Boys,” “Peter and the Starcatcher”), the charming musical finds the titular kooky clan at an emotional crossroads. In particular, the budding romance between dark, moody Wednesday Addams and well-mannered Ohioan Lucas Beineke fuels parental distress, prompts change and challenges perceptions of what is considered normal.
“This is a funny, beautiful and joyful show with a lot of heart and wonderful characters,” said director Joe Deer, artistic director of Wright State University’s Department of Theatre, Dance and Motion Pictures who previously staged the Muse’s 2018 production of “Hello, Dolly!” “This show is about family. There have been many movie-to-stage musical adaptations recently but this one happens to work exceptionally well. The characters are likable and the (story) is about a family that doesn’t realize they’re broken. They aren’t broken in terms of being ghoulish, but they’ve stopped communicating with each other and trusting each other. Ultimately, they figure each other out and come into balance with each other, especially embracing the fact that Wednesday is growing up and she’s not a kid anymore, which is a family experience everyone can understand.”

In spite of the pandemic climate, organizers were determined to produce a full-scale musical this year per tradition, particularly since last year’s pandemic pause eliminated significant performance opportunities.
“We had a great cast of students who were seniors last year that we had trained for three or four years,” said longtime New Orleans-based Muse choreographer Lula Elzy. “So, this year was about what we could do for the students. But in some respects, we’re not managing the arts, we’re managing COVID. So, the first thing on the list is to manage COVID and the arts will follow.”
“Student actors love this show,” Deer added. “Every character is great fun to grab onto. We’ve laughed so hard in rehearsal.”
Inside the family
The company of “Addams Family” has over 70 young people in the cast, orchestra and as production assistants.
The principal cast includes Ben Anticoli as Gomez Addams, Isabel Rawlins as Morticia Addams, Griffin Greear as Uncle Fester, Via Mongelli as Grandma, Maggie Weckesser as Wednesday Addams, Elias Stienecker as Pugsley Addams, Luke Buell as Lurch, Jobe Vogelsong as Mal Beineke, Haley Hemmelgarn as Alice Beineke, Nick Abouzeid as Lucas Beineke and Casen Kidd as Grim Reaper and the Moon.
“It’s been fun getting to put my own twist on Gomez,” said Anticoli, who will be a senior at Tippecanoe High School and is making his Muse debut. “Love is a big theme in the show and Gomez is driven by love for his wife, children and the world around him. This is the biggest role I’ve ever had but I’ve been having so much fun.”
“The overarching themes of love and family are really strong,” echoed Stienecker, who will be a freshman at Tippecanoe High School. “I hope people are able to take away a better (appreciation) and understanding for their families.”
“Wednesday’s whole world is turning upside down, which is something all of us can relate to these past couple of years,” added Weckesser, who will be a junior at Chaminade-Julienne High School and has been a part of Muse since first grade. “My favorite part about being in Muse is the fact that we’re like a family. We love and support each other. Muse is a safe space, providing a unique atmosphere for high schoolers.”
Tuneful music, timely message
Lippa’s clever, humorous and touching Tony-nominated score includes “When You’re an Addams,” “One Normal Night,” “Crazier than You,” “Full Disclosure,” “The Moon and Me” and “Tango de Amor.”
“Latin, vaudeville and Broadway’s Golden Age are among the styles heard,” said musical director Jeffrey Powell, Stivers School for the Arts piano director and Dayton Opera chorus master. “The tunes are great and instantly memorable.”
In addition, Elzy noted her choreography has been fashioned by the “earworm melodies” she feels are reminiscent of other musicals.
“I’m also drawing on choreographers I’m influenced by including Michael Peters, Christopher Scott and Bob Fosse,” she said.
The production also received guest instruction from accomplished jazz trumpeter Ashlin Parker of New Orleans.
Due to its recognizable characters, “The Addams Family” has been performed often across the Miami Valley in recent years. However, Muse organizers are eager and excited to uniquely embrace the material in a warm, personal fashion.
“There are elements to the show in which we are able to delve into and emphasize in a way that feels true to Muse,” Merk explained. “This show is not about death but about life. We are delving into the love the family has which is already written into the show, but we feel in a deeper, richer way. And to do that at this moment in time, to turn around in the face of death and embrace life on the other side, feels so beautiful right now.”

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IONS), the leader in RNA-targeted therapeutics, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation and rare pediatric disease designation to ION582, an investigational antisense medicine for the treatment of Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder caused by the loss of function of the maternally inherited Ubiquitin Protein Ligase E3A (UBE3A) gene. ION582 targets UBE3A.
Angelman syndrome, which affects an estimated one in 12,000 to 20,000 people globally,1 presents early in life with profound and severe developmental delays in motor, language and cognitive functioning, seizures and ataxia. It is a neuro-developmental disorder that generally does not improve following symptom onset in early childhood, resulting in complete dependence on a caregiver. Currently, there are no disease-modifying treatments for Angelman syndrome.
"Receiving FDA orphan drug designation for ION582 reflects the important and urgent need for delivering an effective treatment to patients living with Angelman syndrome. Ionis is committed to working closely with regulators, clinical investigators, patients and caregivers to advance this novel treatment and make it available to those who need it," said C. Frank Bennett, Ph.D., executive vice president, chief scientific officer and franchise leader for neurological programs at Ionis.
Under the FDA's Orphan Drug Act, orphan drug status provides incentives, including tax credits, grants and waiver of certain administrative fees for clinical trials, and seven years of market exclusivity following drug approval. The FDA defines a rare pediatric disease as a serious or life-threatening disease that primarily affects individuals from birth to 18 years of age. Under the FDA's rare pediatric disease designation and voucher programs, if Ionis receives marketing approval for ION582 for Angelman syndrome, the company may qualify for a voucher that can be redeemed to receive a priority review of a subsequent marketing application for a different product.
ION582 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study in up to approximately 44 participants with Angelman syndrome. For more information on the HALOS Study (NCT05127226), visit clinicaltrials.gov.
For more than 30 years, Ionis has been the leader in RNA-targeted therapy, pioneering new markets and changing standards of care with its novel antisense technology. Ionis currently has three marketed medicines and a premier late-stage pipeline highlighted by industry-leading cardiovascular and neurological franchises. Our scientific innovation began and continues with the knowledge that sick people depend on us, which fuels our vision of becoming a leading, fully integrated biotechnology company.

On the night of June 14, 1838, more than 120 people lost their lives in one of the greatest disasters to befall Savannahians. The true story has rarely been told. A new exhibit from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum hopes to change that.
“Rising to the Surface: A Summoning of Savannah’s Titanic” explores the tragedy of the SS Pulaski explosion off the coast of North Carolina.
The ship was enroute to Baltimore, MD from Savannah and lost nearly two thirds of its passengers after its starboard boiler exploded around 11 p.m. The disaster killed wealthy businessmen and families from Savannah and Charleston, along with enslaved people, seamen, and a former U.S. Congressman.
Though it had a major impact at the time, the maritime disaster is rarely explored in the retelling of area history. That is until the wreckage was discovered by divers in 2018, bringing the legend of the disaster to the surface once more.

“Discovering untold stories is like having a great secret whispered in your ear,” shared best-selling author and story-teller Patti Callahan. “And this story is one of those secrets.”
“Rising to the Surface” will open at Ships of the Sea on Friday with a special reception and lecture series at 6 p.m., during which Callahan will recount the story of what is known about that fateful night.
She'll be joined by shipwreck hunter Micah Eldred, who will reveal the real-life story of how his team discovered the wreckage, and have worked to solve one of the country’s most enduring maritime mysteries.
“Patti and Micah’s input has been integral to the ‘Rising to the Surface’ exhibition,” shared Wendy Melton, Interim Executive Director and Curator of Exhibits and Education at the museum.

"Since the Titanic sank in 1912, the Pulaski has been known as the ‘Titanic of the South’ in maritime circles. Incorporating some of Patti’s research and Micah’s artifacts helped us create a richly-layered exhibit that brings the tragic story back to life," Melton added.
Upon first hearing of the SS Pulaski, Callahan undertook intense research and utilized materials from Ships of the Sea and the Georgia Historical Society which inspired her latest historical novel, “Surviving Savannah.”
The novel tells the story of a real family who was aboard the steamship that tragic night. Just three weeks into writing the novel, Callahan got word that Eldred and his team discovered the actual ship 30 miles off the coast of North Carolina.

Since then, Callahan and Eldred have spoken about their experiences numerous times, and together, offer a full picture of the SS Pulaski, past and present, organizers shared.
Thanks to their work and research, the new exhibit will shine a light on a forgotten corner of Savannah history, one that lay just below the surface for nearly two centuries.

NASHVILLE. Tenn., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OneOncology, the national platform for independent oncology practices, today appointed Thomas Stricker, MD as Medical Director for Precision Medicine. Dr. Stricker will work with partner practices to create workflows that reduce physicians' burden of genomic test ordering and interpretation, so they have more time to spend with their patients. Dr. Stricker reports to Chief Medical Officer, Davey Daniel, MD.
Stricker says he sees three pillars of assistance for testing that he and his team can provide to physician partners:
1) At order, to make sure the right tests are ordered.
2) At initial result, to make sure that the appropriate therapy is given based on the current data.
3) At recurrence or progression, to identify additional options whether they or standard of care or a clinical trial option.
"The complexity of pathology standards in oncology necessitates a change in the way that results are delivered, such as comprehensive reports that summarize the key data from multiple tests," Dr. Stricker said. "I am excited to help build systems that can empower our physicians to maximize the value of testing during each stage."
Dr. Stricker was most recently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology at Vanderbilt University where he founded the Somatic Clinical Sign-out Team and the Clinical Genomics Lab, which generates whole exome and other germline sequencing panels. Dr. Stricker also served as associate director of VANTAGE, the research sequencing core for Vanderbilt.
At Vanderbilt, Dr. Stricker also served on molecular tumor boards and was on the team that founded GENIE, an American Association for Cancer Research initiative for the sharing of genomic cancer sequencing data across institutions. Dr. Stricker has extensive experience in generating and analyzing Next Generation Sequencing data, and in generating and signing out clinical genomic reports.
"Dr. Stricker has extensive experience in genomic sequencing, research and developing data integrations across cancer institutions," said Davey Daniel, MD, OneOncology's Chief Medical Officer. "His knowledge, experience and vision are a perfect fit to support our physicians' abilities to use genomic testing to match the right treatment or trial at the right time – all in oncology practices that are conveniently located close to where patients live."
Dr. Stricker earned his MD and PhD from Washington University in St. Louis. Following a residency in Anatomical Pathology and a fellowship in Bone and Soft Tissue at The University of Chicago, he joined Dr. Kevin White's lab in the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology as a post-doctoral fellow. While there, he developed expertise in generating and analyzing data from the then-new next generation sequencing technologies.
OneOncology was founded by community oncologists, for community oncologists, with the mission of improving the lives of everyone living with cancer. Our goal is to enable community oncology practices to remain independent and to improve patient access to care in their communities, all at a lower cost than in the hospital setting. OneOncology supports our platform of community oncology practices through group purchasing, operational optimization, practice growth, and clinical innovation. Our 700 cancer care providers care for 280,000 patients at 181 sites of care nationwide. To learn more, visit oneoncology.com or LinkedIn.

Yellowstone National Park has renamed one of its mountains to honor Native Americans instead of the US Army captain who massacred them.
Once named after Gustavus Doane, Mount Doane has been renamed First Peoples Mountain, the National Park Service (NPS) announced on Thursday. The 10,551-foot peak stands east of Yellowstone Lake in the country's first national park.
Doane led an attack in 1870, now known as the Marias Massacre, against the Piegan Blackfeet, killing at least 173 Native Americans including many elderly Tribe members and children who were sick with smallpox, according to NPS.
"Doane wrote fondly about this attack and bragged about it for the rest of his life," NPS said in a news release.
Blackfeet Tribal member Tom Rodgers told CNN the Indigenous community has long "petitioned our government to do what is right and what is moral."
"We heard our Blackfeet sisters screams as they ran to the river on that cold January morning in 1870," Rodgers, also an adviser on the Rocky Mountain Tribal Council, said. "We heard their cry for justice. We sought justice. We sought an accounting. We sought a reckoning with history. It has taken far far too long for this journey of healing to arrive."
"Finally hope and history rhyme," he added.
Doane was a key member of the 1870 Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, exploring Yellowstone before it became a national park.
The "announcement follows a 15-0 vote affirming the change by the US Board on Geographic Names (BGN), the federal body responsible for maintaining uniform geographic name usage throughout the federal government," NPS said.
"Yellowstone conducted outreach to all 27 associated Tribes over the past several months and received no opposition to the change nor concerns."
The new name was also supported by recommendations from the Rocky Mountain Tribal Council, the Wyoming Board of Geographic names, and NPS.
Yellowstone may also decide to change "other derogatory or inappropriate names in the future," NPS said.
This is a step toward better representation of Indigenous communities and an accurate telling of their histories, Rodgers said.
Quoting Walt Whitman's poem "Reconciliation," he added: "We can now turn to the 200 women, children and to the elders who were massacred on that day and say: May your souls be at peace and may 'the hands of the sisters Death and Night, incessantly softly wash again, and ever again, this soil'd world.'"

Israel, India prepare to resume free trade agreement talks
By Steven Scheer
JERUSALEM, June 13 (Reuters) - Israel and India are preparing to resume talks on a free trade agreement, Israel's Economy Ministry said on Monday, adding that an Indian delegation had arrived in Jerusalem to discuss framework rules and coordinate expectations for negotiations.
Last October, India and Israel agreed to resume free trade talks with an aim of signing a deal by mid-2022.
Israel's Economy Ministry said a senior team from India's Industry and Trade would meet with their Israeli counterparts to discuss the ground rules but did not say when actual trade negotiations would resume.
Ties between Israel and India have grown closer in the eight years since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been in power, and the two countries have formed a number of strategic, military and technology partnerships during that time.
Bilateral trade between Israel and India totalled $6.3 billion in 2021 up from $200 million in 1992 when the two countries opened diplomatic relations and Israel has emerged as one of India´s biggest suppliers of weapons alongside the United States and long-term partner Russia.
"We share similar challenges in a wide range of fields, from agriculture, climate and water to homeland security, fintech and cyber," Israeli Economy Minister Orna Barbivai said in a statement.
She called the relationship between the two countries "strategic" and said a free trade deal would significantly boost existing collaboration.
Ron Malka, the ministry's director general and former Israeli ambassador to India, said in the statement that a deal would ease trade barriers for Israeli companies operating in India, strengthen trade and economic cooperation and help the government in its efforts to lower the cost of living.
Last month Israel signed a free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
India aims to sign new trade deals with several countries including Australia, the UAE, Britain and Canada, to boost exports and help the country recover faster from its coronavirus-induced slowdown.
