BRUSSELS, Belgium, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While Europe is fighting climate change, a new crisis has emerged. High gas prices and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are driving energy prices to historic levels and massively contributing to a year-on-year EU energy price inflation of 40%. Yet, there is a silver lining: an accelerated energy transition and electrification can get Europe out of these two crises.
Jean-Bernard Lévy, Eurelectric's President said:
"We must accelerate the electrification of our economy to regain our independence, enhance energy security and fight climate change."
Today, the electricity industry unveils its recommendations for how to ensure that the EU becomes energy independent while decarbonising the economy:
Raise the game on clean and renewable power generation
The power sector is heading towards having 85% of EU electricity carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet, incremental additions of renewable capacities are not enough to install anywhere between 550 GW and 1268 GW (RePowerEU) of green energy. Fast-tracked permitting for renewables and a skilled workforce are essential to ensuring this transition.
Electrify everything that can be electrified
Electrification is undeniably the optimal solution to tackle the energy and climate crises. It is essential to fast-forward dramatically stagnating electrification rates and bolster the deployment of heat pumps, electrolysers, smart charging infrastructure and storage solutions.
Secure investments
Nearly € 1200 bn are needed by 2030 to install the necessary clean energy capacity and ensure that grids can optimally support a carbon-neutral, decentralised and electric future. Yet, investors face a challenging market: distortive wholesale market interventions, "clawback" mechanisms and retail price caps deter investment in the energy transition and harm security of supply. We must safeguard the integrity of the energy market.
Protect customers
In times of high energy prices and volatility for consumers, it is essential to properly address the question of energy affordability for customers, speed up energy efficiency measures and ensure the social acceptance of the energy transition.

SAN ANTONIO – A man killed in a single-vehicle crash on the city’s North Side early Tuesday morning has been identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office.
Jose Ramirez, 36, was killed after he crashed his pickup truck near Patricia Drive and Belair Drive just before 2:30 a.m.
According to police, Ramirez was traveling southeast on Patricia and hit a median and lost control. Police say he struck a pole and spun onto Belair Drive.
Firefighters tried to rescue Ramirez from the truck. They cut the roof off the vehicle in attempt to get him out. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other injuries were reported. SAPD said speed likely played a role in the crash.
The San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS all answered the call.
The investigation is ongoing, police said. | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/06/15/medical-examiner-identifies-driver-of-truck-killed-in-single-vehicle-crash-on-north-side/ | 2022-06-15T11:52:25Z | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/06/15/medical-examiner-identifies-driver-of-truck-killed-in-single-vehicle-crash-on-north-side/ | false | null |
The words from that night – ‘I am very sorry, Ben Bradley has won’ – from the returning officer will never leave me, after she first accidentally announced that Sir Alan Meale had won again.
Since that time a lot has happened. I’ve taken part in more than 890 votes and spoken more than 330 times in the House of Commons to make the case for Mansfield.
I promised to come and shout up for Mansfield as for far too long our area had been forgotten about.
I hope that my speaking out has helped to put Mansfield at the heart of the Government’s agenda.
In the time I have been in Westminster, we have got Brexit done and we have set off on the journey to help level up the country and Mansfield.
On this levelling up mission, we have managed to help secure hundreds of millions of pounds for our area, through many different funding sources such as the Towns Fund and Severn Trent Green Recovery Project, which is set to transform our area with £76 million.
We’ve set off to transform the skills agenda, making Mansfield a university town, and we’re pulling together big projects for economic investment.
These improvements don’t come overnight, but we’ve moved forward a long way.
I have also been incredibly lucky to campaign on an issue that is very close to my heart, that of white working-class boys.
Too often, disadvantaged boys from places like ours have been left behind by governments of every stripe in the drive for ‘equality’.
This is despite the fact that these boys often have the worst educational outcomes and life chances of all groups.
I have been proud to be at the forefront of the campaign to raise this up the agenda and help to ensure that support is offered based on need, rather than race or gender.
I have also been extremely lucky to be part of various committees.
Being on these committees has allowed me to make Mansfield’s voice heard when it came to important issues.
I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has contacted me or supported me in any way over the past five years.
It has been – and still is – the honour of a lifetime to serve as your MP and I look forward to delivering on Mansfield priorities.

Another Break Up is one the line and is impacting the fans of Tom Cruise a lot. It is about another rumor of breaking up with the Mission Impossible co-star. Although the recent reports are telling that the actor is very busy at present with the launch of his upcoming movie Top Gun: Maverick. However, the news of his personal life is also affecting the audience a lot. It seems that everything is not normal in the actor’s love life.
To delve deep into the romantic life of Cruise, you need to go through this content. It seems that he is going for a split with his girlfriend Hayley Atwell. The details are here to give you an idea about the private affairs of Tom Cruise and how everything is going on in his life at present.
Recent Adventure Of Tom And His Love Life: Tom Cruise & Hayley Atwell Splits Once Again!!
Internal sources have confirmed the relationship of Tom Cruise with Hayley Atwell. The actress worked with him for the first time in Mission Impossible 7 from where their love started brewing. However, the fans witnessed several instances of breakups in this short period. But the actors were never ready to share their internal disturbances in public. Instead, after only a few days of such negative reports, they seem to be deeply in love with each other.
Everybody saw the couple together at the premiere of Maverick. However, the news of their split is already spreading in the air. The first break-up news came in September and as per the consequences, it seems that the coming is thus declaring an official end after one year of togetherness. This is the second break-up that the two suffered this year.
The media is telling us that this time the split is a serious one and the two have permanently called it off. However, to some reliable insiders, they never pretended to be lovers in front of the cameras. Instead, their love was genuine and they cared for each other.
It is thus unfortunate that such a loving couple is ending their beautiful relationship. Although the Marvel actress attended the premiere show of their movie together, the same care and feeling do not exist now.
Great Chemistry Between Cruise And Atwell
Atwell is a famous face in most Marvel movies. Her superb performance touched the hearts within a short time and now the world recognizes Hayley as one of the finest actresses, especially for the Marvel studio films. Her on-screen chemistry with the all-time heartthrob of Hollywood, Tom Cruise, impressed the viewers a lot. Hence, they want more of their on-screen romances and fabulous antics.
It was a great time for the fans as they came to know that their favorite reel-life couple is dating each other in real life also. They indeed looked cute together and even did not hesitate to share some lovey-dovey moments with the fans. Moreover, the Instagram handle also contains multiple interesting pictures of the two making it more obvious how much love they have for each other. But everything seems to be a temporary liking as the two parted ways very soon.
It has been only a year and without any hints, Tom and Hayley ended their relationship permanently. Their chemistry was indeed awesome off-screen also. Hence, they did not bother much after the temporary break-up last year. The two understood each other a lot and so decided to give another chance to their bonding. But destiny’s plans can be different than what men think. In the end, the couple could not save their wonderful bond despite being so friendly and having amazing chemistry.
What Did The Sources Say?
From the reports, it is pretty clear that for Atwell, not all was well with being in a serious relationship with Tom. Of course, they were superb when they were indoors. But when they were out, things changed drastically. Their independent opinions clashed most of the time disturbing the relationship greatly. The dazzling chemistry was not fruitful in reality. So, both Cruise and Atwell decide to part their ways permanently without having any grudge against each other.
Moreover, the sources also suggest that the duo is very much into talking terms and find that their friendship is incredible. Hence, instead of being life partners, it will be better to remain friends forever. Some bonds are better when two partners stay apart from each other. Not every good bonding ends up being a romantic affair.

Some are true friendships also giving more chances to live to lead brilliantly without any unnecessary hassle. In the case of Atwell and Cruise also, the feelings were very strong. However, due to some unavoidable reasons, they may not be good partners. The two are still appreciated for the on-screen bond and will soon mesmerize the audience with their performances in parts 7 and 8 of Mission Impossible. | https://alphanewscall.com/2022/06/15/tom-cruise-hayley-atwell-broken-up/ | 2022-06-15T11:59:51Z | https://alphanewscall.com/2022/06/15/tom-cruise-hayley-atwell-broken-up/ | false | 1 |

Considering a set of Apple AirPods Max or another of the best over-ear headphones currently on the market? Maybe read this first – you'll only have to wait until August for their release.
Sennheiser just officially teased its Momentum 4 Wireless noise-cancelling over-ear headphones ahead of their now-confirmed August global arrival.
The German brand has pretty concisely revealed the first few official images and details of its hotly-anticipated wireless cans, which will succeed the 2019-issue Momentum 3 Wireless – but we do have some key facts. And one in particular is seriously impressive.
Three years is a fairly long stretch between headphone iterations in the constantly evolving world of wireless audio and Bluetooth technology, but 2020 was not a great year for anyone. And given the information now available to us, Sennheiser has clearly used the time to go back to the drawing board and start afresh, rather than tweak and fine-tune an older model for its latest release.
The Momentum 4 Wireless promises "best-in-class sound, advanced Adaptive Noise Cancellation and an all-new design offering exceptional comfort", and that gray fabric covering the headband (which looks very similar to that adorning the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and older Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2's charging case) is certainly a new direction for Sennheiser's flagship over-ears.
Opinion: with this spec alone, Sennheiser could rule them all
The headline-grabber here is the claimed battery life, at (a frankly incredible) 60 hours. Whether or not that figure is with ANC deployed remains to be seen, but given that Apple's top-tier AirPods Max boast just a third of that, at 20 hours when listening with ANC and Spatial Audio turned on, it's a bold claim indeed.
Need another reference? The Sony WH-1000XM5 can stretch to 30 hours with noise cancelling activated or 40 hours with noise cancelling switched off – which is a two hour improvement over the still-excellent WH-1000XM4.
How Sennheiser has managed to stretch to a 60-hour battery when Sony could only eke an extra two hours of juice from its flagship wireless over-ears, even following a drastic update, we cannot say just yet.
But we do know to expect an "audiophile-inspired 42mm transducer system" with slightly angled speakers to "ensure sound is channelled slightly from the front towards the user’s ears", which should promote a "more natural soundstage".
Elsewhere, we can anticipate advanced voice pick-up for optimised calls and voice assistant access, plus "multiple customisations to enable users to adapt the sound to their unique preferences".
Will we see Bluetooth 5.3 and support for Bluetooth's new audio-sharing Auracast protocol, set to arrive in the next few months? We don't know yet – but given Sennheiser's track record it seems likely.
Also still at large is pricing. But remember, Sennheiser's newest earbuds actually undercut the launch price of their predecessors, so an asking fee below $399.95 (around £280 / AU$500) is hardly out of the question… And wouldn't that be nice? | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/sennheiser-teases-wireless-headphones-with-triple-the-battery-life-of-airpods-max | 2022-06-15T12:11:10Z | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/sennheiser-teases-wireless-headphones-with-triple-the-battery-life-of-airpods-max | false | 6 |
Why Britain’s swimming pools are shutting for summer
National chlorine shortage and rising energy costs blamed for closures and reduced services
A national chlorine shortage and rising energy costs are forcing public swimming pools to close their doors this summer.
Pools in several parts of the UK have reduced services or announced temporary closures in recent weeks.
Others are thought to be weighing up cost-saving measures such as lowering pool temperatures and dimming lights to keep running as the cost-of-living crisis bites.
The chlorine shortage has been blamed on several factors, including Brexit, a backlog from China’s supply chain caused by Covid-19, a significant fire in a US chemical plant in late 2020, and the war in Ukraine.
Signs have appeared in some leisure centres urging people to help pools stay open by taking steps to keep the water as clean as possible such as showering and using the toilet before swimming and avoiding using lotions, deodorants and perfumes beforehand.
The SnowDome, in Tamworth, has had its 25-metre, junior and toddler pools closed to swimmers since Sunday because of the national chlorine shortage, according to BirminghamLive.
Last month, The Guardian reported Saxon Pool in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, had closed to general swimmers and cancelled most sessions for the same reason.
Users were reportedly told via email: “Unfortunately, due to a nationwide issue, SLL have been unable to secure orders of pool chemicals from Europe which is essential to operate the pool fully.”
Runnymede Leisure Centre in Benfleet also had to close its pool one weekend in April after running out of Melclorite, a type of chlorine.
The chemical comes from Japan and is supplied by a German company which has reported global supply issues which have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, The Guardian said.
Leisure World in Colchester is closing its fitness and teaching pools to the public for several days to ensure chlorine supplies last as long as possible amid shortages.
Councillor Adam Fox, deputy leader of Colchester Borough Council, told EssexLive: “We know that many other swimming pools across the country are having to close, and by acting now we can prolong our chlorine supplies and continue to offer sessions and classes for all demographics across our wide range of swimming facilities.
“We are monitoring our supplies closely and are in contact with our chemical suppliers to ensure we are in the best place possible to keep services operating.”
Swimming pools have also been affected in Norwich, Brighton and Aberdeen.
Leeds City Council told LeedsLiveits pools were so far unaffected and the installation of solar panels and heat pumps across its estate would save its leisure centres both gas and money.
A survey by UKActive this month suggested 85 per cent of public pool operators would be forced to reduce services in the next six months to cope with demand.
The non-profit warned it could mean hundreds, and potentially thousands, of leisure centres, gyms and swimming pools may be lost as a result of huge rises in energy costs, which are estimated to have risen from a sector total of £500m in 2019 to between £1.0bn and £1.2bn in 2022.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — President Joe Biden told the largest federation of labor unions on Tuesday that he’s working to rebuild the U.S. economy around workers, an attempt to draw a contrast with Republicans who have increasingly attracted blue-collar votes.
“We should encourage unions,” Biden said. “I’m not just saying that to be pro-union. I’m saying it because I’m pro-American.”
The speech before the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia was the president’s attempt to reset the terms of the debate on the economy as the president’s own approval ratings have slid while consumer prices and the cost of gasoline have surged.
Inflation at a more than 40-year high has caused voters to sour on the economy, despite a recovery after the pandemic-induced downturn that has led to robust hiring and a healthy 3.6% unemployment rate. The president on Tuesday tried to remind his audience of the food lines and layoffs during the coronavirus pandemic that preceded his presidency, contrasting that with the improvements in household balance sheets under his watch.
But even as the economy has quickly amassed jobs, inflation has left many workers feeling worse off as wages have not kept up with the costs of living. The Labor Department said Friday that average hourly earnings, after adjusting for inflation, have fallen 3% over the past year.
Inflation has left Biden and Democrats’ control of the House and Senate vulnerable in the upcoming midterm elections. Republican lawmakers have blamed the president’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package for causing inflation to start rising last year. GOP lawmakers also say the Biden administration has been too restrictive on domestic oil production.
“Working families’ budgets took a back seat to the far-left’s wish list,” Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a Monday speech.
Biden says the GOP is focused on cutting taxes for companies and the wealthy. Republicans argue that their 2017 tax overhaul created a firmer base for growth by reducing corporate tax rates, making U.S. companies more competitive. They say enabling companies and individuals to hold on to more of what they earn will boost growth, while Biden counters that laws enabling unionization and boosting child care benefits for families will lead to growth through a stronger middle class.
Biden has tried to take specific aim at a proposal by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., that suggests all Americans should owe federal income taxes. Many Republican lawmakers have either disowned the proposal or offered caveats, since tax credits are a means of financial support for poorer and middle class U.S. families.
“Republicans have it all backwards: Their plan literally calls for increasing taxes on middle class and working people and cutting taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans,” Biden said. “I believe in bipartisanship, but I have no illusions about this Republican Party, the MAGA party.”
The president faces an uphill battle in restoring union membership, which has declined for decades as it became harder to organize workers and many factory jobs moved away from communities with a history of unionization. Only 10.3% of U.S. workers belonged to a union last year, down from 20.1% in 1983, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The nature of who belongs to unions has also changed over time as nearly half of union members work for the government. Just 7.7% of manufacturing workers and 12.6% of construction workers hold a union card, as the movement’s blue-collar roots have diversified into white-collar professions.
Despite the decline in unionization, the movement still generates value. Government figures show that the median unionized worker earns about $10,000 more annually than a worker without a union. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/biden-focuses-on-workers-as-high-inflation-remains-a-risk/ | 2022-06-15T12:13:08Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/biden-focuses-on-workers-as-high-inflation-remains-a-risk/ | false | 38 |

Wednesday marks two years until the start of the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials, and for the first time since 2004, the meet will not be held in Omaha, Nebraska.
- The 2024 US Olympic Swimming Trials will run from June 15-23 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
But that doesn’t mean the new location will be exactly “new” or “novel” to the sport of swimming. The Olympic Swimming Trials have been hosted in Indianapolis six times: 1924, 1952 (women’s meet), 1984, 1992, 1996, and 2000. That is in addition to numerous NCAA Championship meets, a World Junior Championships meet, the 2004 World Short Course Swimming Championships, and many, many other high-level local, national, and international caliber competitions.
Indianapolis has basically become the hometown of swimming in the United States in a number of ways, whereas Omaha felt more like ‘a summer vacation.’
But that doesn’t mean that the 2024 Olympic Trials will be the same as every other meet that has been hosted in Indianapolis. With organizers hoping for 30,000+ spectators for each of 9 days of competition, the scale of this event is unlike anything the city’s robust swimming scene has faced before.
Let’s compare and contrast Indianapolis to Omaha across a number of different metrics so that attendees can get a sense of how the 2024 Trials might feel compared to the last four meets in Omaha.
Under the Dome
The 2024 US Olympic Swimming Trials will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Primarily the home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, the stadium is huge, even compared to the 18,000 seat CHI Health Center in Omaha.
While USA Swimming plans to use temporary bleachers to scale down the 70,000 seat Lucas Oil Stadium, it still won’t be just a “25% bigger” CenturyLink Center. That’s because Lucas Oil Stadium has 6 levels of seating. This means that people in the top level will be more than 200 vertical feet from the pool – that’s like stacking a 50 meter pool on its end and going straight up!
The CHI Health Center in Omaha, by comparison, has only two levels of seating.
Besides the spectator view (we don’t expect that USA Swimming will actually use all 6 levels in Indianapolis), the height could impact backstrokers’ ability to use the ceiling as a guide to stay straight, and could create a generally more cavernous feeling. That might damper some of the most exciting moments if the sound escapes into the upper atmosphere, but maybe not.
Lucas Oil Stadium actually has a retractable roof. We don’t expect that it will be used during Trials, but it would be really cool if it was.
Weather
If you’ve been to the Olympic Trials in Omaha, you know that no matter what the forecasts or historical averages say, the swim meet always falls during the hottest week of the summer. Last year, temperatures peaked somewhere around 105 degrees outside during the meet.
Historically, Indianapolis is a few degrees cooler than Omaha in June.
- Indianapolis June Temperature Averages: High 81/Low 61 F
- Omaha June Temperature Averages: High 84/Low 62 F
On June 15, the historical average high temperature in Indianapolis is about 80 degrees.
Humidity in Indianapolis that time of year is a little higher on average, though: according to Weather Spark, Indianapolis is ‘muggy’ on June 15 about 38% of the time, which is higher than Omaha at about 34% of the time.
But it has never been hotter than 104 in Indianapolis in June. It has in Omaha, once: June 17, 2021. Right in the middle of the US Olympic Trials.
On totality, the weather is about a wash: a temperate midwestern June with a chance of a heatwave.
Population
As of the 2020 census, Omaha had about 480,000 residents, while Indy had about 870,000 residents. That size can go a long way in terms of general support infrastructure, restaurants, hotel rooms, and many other metrics we’ll discuss later. Indianapolis‘ Metro population (2.1 million) is about twice as big as Omaha‘s as well (1.1 million), and while this includes lots of suburbs and other places that are less convenient to the pool, that metro population drives a lot of the services that are in the cities themselves – which is, for example, a big part of why Indianapolis has NFL and NBA teams and Omaha does not.
Both cities are growing at similar rates – just under 1%.
Hotel Rooms
This is where Indianapolis is going to shine as compared to Omaha, where finding affordable lodging was a struggle during Trials (and especially the overlap with the College World Series). Downtown Indianapolis alone has over 8,500 hotel rooms, with several more new hotels planned to be opened in the next half-decade (though many won’t be done in time for Trials).
Indianapolis, home city of the NCAA, is an events-driven city, and they are equipped for this kind of influx of people. The city has hosted the NCAA men’s basketball Final Four tournaments 8 times (and are scheduled to do so again in 2026).
The Indiana Convention Center, which is connected to Lucas Oil Stadium, has 12 connected hotels.
As markets shift to more people staying in Airbnbs or similar home-rental services, these make up a bigger percentage of the housing inventory – current data shows about 2,500Airbnb listings in Indianapolis, as compared to just 1,000 in Omaha.
Douglas County, home of Omaha, has “nearly 10,000 hotel rooms” according to the Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau. Marion County, Indiana has somewhere north of 23,000 hotel rooms. These numbers are shifting and changing based on hotels being constructed or removed, but it’s clear that Indianapolis is overall much better equipped to handle the influx of visitors.
Airports
The Omaha airport is fine, it serves the needs of the city well. But Indianapolis‘ airport has been named the best in North America by the Airports Council International for 10 consecutive years in the category for between 5 million to 15 million passengers annually.
While Chicago’s O’Hare airport will still be a hub for a lot of visitors en route to Indianapolis (Chicago-Indianapolis flights are both airports’ most frequent), many more people will be able to fly direct.
Does that mean you’re less likely to sit next to Lilly King on your way home from Trials (like I did in 2021)? Yes. But overall, the pain of flying to Indianapolis will be less, on average, than Omaha.
The only cities that fly direct to Omaha but not Indianapolis are Fort Myers (seasonally), Salt Lake City, and St. Louis.
Data Comparison between airports:
Time Zone
While Omaha is in US Central Time, Indianapolis is in US Eastern Time. Remember that by 2024, the expectation is that the United States will be in permanent daylight savings time.
USA Swimming has shown a strong preference to host this meet in the central United States in order to spread the pain of travel from both coasts. Athletes from the west coast, however, will have 3 hours of jetlag to work out upon arrival. We also have to remember that the Olympic Trials have historically been shown on prime time network television – we don’t know what that schedule for 2024 looks like yet, but this could mean that finals sessions will start an hour later to accommodate TV time slots.
Restaurants
Tripadvisor lists 1,890 restaurants in Indianapolis, as compared to 1,170 restaurants in Omaha. We will for sure miss The Old Market area in Omaha (the Weber Grill doesn’t have the same vibe), but both cities have similar cuisines and general quality of restaurants. The cuisines are centered around midwestern meat and potatoes, but both are seeing increasing diversity in their restaurants as with their populations.
We’ll help you find the best spots in Indianapolis as the meet gets closer, but on average, this is probably a wash. Traditionists have no fear: both facilities are within a 5 minute walk of an Old Spaghetti Factory.
Public Transit
Neither city has great public transit. Indianapolis is working on opening new bus express lanes this year, which at least will make it a little easier to get into town for people who want to stay further from downtown.
The one place where Indianapolis really differentiates itself is bike and scooters. Omaha added ‘public rent’ scooters for 2024, but there weren’t enough of them, and there wasn’t a lot of dedicated road space to ride them in. Downtown Indianapolis, which also has electric scooters, has a lot more dedicated bike lane space, and what;s more, those lanes are more often separated from car traffic and feel much safer.
Plus, there were a ton of areas in Omaha where the scooters didn’t work.
Omaha in 2021 saw a dramatic shortage of Uber drivers, especially during the CWS/Trials overlap, and with a lack of public transportation or scooter/bike options, that often left people stranded for how to get home. The scooters should at least alleviate some of that strain in Indianapolis (though at least one scooter company, Spin, recently pulled out of the city).
Conclusion
“Better” is always subjective. Some people will miss the ‘revolve-around-the-meet’ vibe in Indianapolis and the confluence with the College World Series.
But from a pure ease-of-attendance perspective, the metrics all favor Indianapolis. The city is bigger, and even beyond that, is better-build and better-equipped to hold large scale events.
There are going to be things that we will all miss about Omaha, and of the sittings being considered for a replacement, we can quibble over which was best. But it seems clear that the meet had outgrown Omaha and was ready to move to a bigger city. | https://swimswam.com/two-years-out-from-trials-how-do-indianapolis-and-omaha-stack-up/ | 2022-06-15T12:15:28Z | https://swimswam.com/two-years-out-from-trials-how-do-indianapolis-and-omaha-stack-up/ | false | 1 |
VANCOUVER, BC, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - MANTARO PRECIOUS METALS CORP. (TSXV: MNTR) (OTCQB: MSLVF) (FSE: 9TZ) (the "Company" or "Mantaro") is pleased to announce that it has completed an initial four diamond drill holes at the La Escarcha gold deposit located in the Golden Hill Property, Bolivia. To date, Mantaro has drilled a total of 720 meters under its maiden 5,000 meter drill program.
- Four diamond drill holes completed for a total of 720 meters, confirming down dip extensions of the La Escarcha gold deposit (See Figure 1).
- Initial drilling has successfully intercepted down dip extensions of the five primary gold bearing quartz shear zones historically exploited via surface open pit and underground workings at La Escarcha Mine, to depths of 150 meters beneath surface.
Craig Hairfield, Chief Executive Officer of the Company states, "We are extremely pleased with the progress made by our team and Leduc Drilling at La Escarcha. Core recovery has been excellent. The four holes drilled to date have all intercepted sulphidic quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets beneath mineralization mapped in underground workings. Mineralization is open in all directions and the next phase of drilling will initially target the southern and northern strike extensions of the system. The system remains open at depth. It is anticipated that the first batch of samples will be dispatched to ALS this week and assays are expected approximately 6 weeks after."
The initial holes are targeting down dip extensions of historically mined veins at La Escarcha open pit, aiming to confirm high-grade gold mineralization beneath the extent of historic mining (ie. below 60 meter depth). Drilling has successfully intercepted broad multiphase quartz shear zones typical of greenstone hosted orogenic gold deposits. The program has also confirmed down dip extensions of the historically mined C1, C2, C3, C and C4 gold bearing quartz shear zones at La Escarcha gold deposit, to depths of 150 meters beneath surface.
The vast majority of the diamond drilling was drilled in PQ diameter and reduced to NQ size at 150 meters depth in hole GH0003. Holes have been drilled from -34 ° to -61 ° dip, with hole lengths ranging from 170 to 250 meters, and an excellent core recovery of nearly 100%.
Additional drilling aims to further extend the down dip and strike extensions of the five key gold bearing structures at La Escarcha gold deposit. Thereafter, the drill programs focus will shift to the southern strike extensions of the Golden Hill vein system, beneath areas with historic surface workings, at the Gabby and Garrapatillia prospects. Drilling will then be utilized to test gold mineralization across the parallel vein swarm located directly west of La Escarcha at the Westfield prospect.

Parents issued urgent window warning to keep their kids safe as temperatures soar
PARENTS have been issued an urgent window warning to keep their kids safe as temperatures soar.
Hackney Police have reminded parents of some precautionary measures to take if they're planning on opening windows in the hot weather.
In a post on Twitter, cops urged caregivers to make sure the windows couldn't pose a risk to young kids.
They said: "The temperature’s rising & the sun is shining in #Hackney!
"If you’re at home, remember open windows can pose a fall hazard to small children.
"Ensure you have safeguards in place like window restrictors to prevent them from opening too widely and keep your home safe."
The tip comes as health chiefs issued an urgent warning after forecasters predicted scorching 34C temperatures this week.
It'll be hotter in the UK than in Jamaica and Costa Rica on Friday, with days of sweltering sun to come amid predictions of record-breaking heat.
But officials from the UK Health Security Agency and the Met Office have now sounded a red alert over concerns the heatwave could cause serious harm.
Forecasters said a level two heat-health alert has been issued for a large part of southern and central England, with a level one alert in place for northern England.
Most read in The Sun
The highest rating on the scale, designed to help healthcare workers prepare for more patients during extreme weather, is a four.
A level two 'alert and readiness' warning is triggered as soon as there's a 60 per cent chance temperature thresholds will be reached on at least two days and a night.
The roasting blast, courtesy of a plume of hot air from Spain, will likely be short-lived - but while it's here, medics will be bracing to take care of Brits who have fallen ill in the heat.
Currently, the Met Office is predicting highs of 34C on Friday - but some models show even higher temperatures.
The Weather Outlook suggests 36C could be reached, with 32C on Saturday.
The record for June is 35.6C, which was recorded in Southampton in 1976.
If predictions are correct, then Friday would be a new all-time June record for the UK. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18892930/parents-issued-urgent-window-warning/ | 2022-06-15T12:16:17Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18892930/parents-issued-urgent-window-warning/ | true | 3 |

Supply chain vulnerabilities from open source and third-party components are on the rise, and vulnerabilities that are a result of coding errors by internal development teams are also opening doors for potential threat actors. In addition, the creation of SBOMs, and the handling of the high number of uncovered vulnerabilities has become much more labor-intensive and costly than just scanning and detecting threats.
The result is a time consuming, expensive, and error prone process, which is very difficult to manage throughout the device lifecycle. Product teams have no visibility at the product system level, they are unable to assess overall potential risk and damage, and they are left with complex processes that don't scale.
"One of the key barriers that teams are faced with is the limited view they have into their devices, which results in their inability to comprehensively assess their overall security posture," said Eran Rosenberg, VP of Product at Cybellum. "Instead, they labor over multiple disconnected subcomponent assessments, trying to figure out how one component relates to the other, what is the impact of a certain vulnerability on the whole device security, and what could be the potential for damage."
System of Systems solves these issues by providing product security teams with the following:
- Ability to view inter-device / system architecture, relations between components and any connections to external networks
- Automatically define a product or vehicle system's potential damage impact
- Analyze risks in a hierarchical view, drilling down from the system view to the component level – CVEs, zero-days, policy violations and more
- Ability to define and set countermeasures like Firewalls, IDS/IPS, within the device/system and see the immediate impact on the overall security risk score
"At Cybellum, we've extended our award-winning Cyber Digital Twins technology to deliver the much-needed full system view," noted Rosenberg. "System of Systems provides unprecedented visibility and control for product security teams. It enables improved time to market with simpler and quicker system level assessments. It also minimizes security risks with enhanced control over system-level risk and improves compliance with regulations and standards that require device/system level cybersecurity management."
About Cybellum
Cybellum enables device manufacturers to keep the products they build secure and compliant, every single moment of their life. Industry leaders use Cybellum's product security platform to fuse security into every phase of the product lifecycle. Powered by Cyber Digital Twins™ technology -- a live digital replica of every software component inside your devices – Cybellum allows product security teams to manage cyber risk continuously, whatever new threat arises.

Hyderabad: Instead of the traditional three-level healthcare system that comprises primary, secondary and tertiary medical facilities, Telangana’s unique five-level healthcare system with a special focus on preventive care and super-specialty facilities, mooted by Chief Minister, K Chandrashekhar Rao, has yielded positive results.
Thanks to sustained funding and focus on ensuring efficient implementation of the five-levels of healthcare facilities for poor patients, Telangana quickly rose through the ranks to lead in vital healthcare indices in the country and also ensured poor patients get access to quality healthcare at every level.
As a result of the overall development, at present, on a daily basis anywhere between 25,000 and 30,000 patients in Telangana avail healthcare facilities in government hospitals.
Traditionally, the entire healthcare delivery mechanism is based on three levels that include primary level consisting of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and sub-centres that provide basic consultation and medicines, second level of District Hospitals, usually located in the district headquarters, with 100 to 200-bed capacity and providing services to patients referred from PHCs and sub-centres. At the tertiary level, there are teaching hospitals with over 500-bed capacity that provide multispecialty healthcare.
The Chief Minister mooted two-more levels focused on preventive care through Basthi Dawakhanas in cities and Palle Dawakhanas in villages. The fifth level of healthcare delivery mechanism was the establishment of AIIMS-level super-specialty hospitals in the form of the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) and the upcoming high-end medical hub in Warangal.
Improvement in vital healthcare indices
One of the major achievements of the five-level healthcare system is the rapid improvement and emergence of Telangana among the top three in NITI Aayog rankings for best improvement in vital healthcare indices.
At the time of statehood, MMR, the maternal mortality rate, which is defined as the number of maternal deaths during a given period for 1,00,000 live births, in Telangana was close to 92 which by the year 2022, dropped to 56. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), the number of infant deaths for 1,000 live births, during statehood was around 39, which by 2022 dropped to 23. In 2014, the Under5 Mortality Rate (U5MR), children who die before reaching 5 years for 1,000 live births, in Telangana was 41, which by 2022 dropped to 30.
8 more med colleges this year, another 8 by next year
Towards establishing medical colleges in all the districts of Telangana, a project driven by the Chief Minister, K Chandrashekhar Rao, by this academic year 2022-23 which starts from August, eight more government medical colleges will be available for MBBS aspirants. By next academic year (2023-24), another eight medical colleges will also be ready. | https://telanganatoday.com/telanganas-5-level-healthcare-system-yields-positive-results | 2022-06-15T12:20:25Z | https://telanganatoday.com/telanganas-5-level-healthcare-system-yields-positive-results | false | 1 |

Mastercard and Ecobank Group have partnered to connect millions of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to Mastercard’s Farm Pass – a digital platform that makes it safer and easier for farmers to sell their produce at a fair price.
Under the partnership, Ecobank will extend the reach and impact of the Mastercard Farm Pass platform leveraging its Pan-African network of 33 countries. Many smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa face several challenges. These include limited access to markets, working capital to finance activities or secure quality inputs, and relevant financial tools to pay and get paid efficiently. This has led to insecurity, inefficiencies, and a waste of resources and food, preventing farmers from running sustainable businesses.
Farm Pass brings together various agri-sector stakeholders from the supply and demand sides, in one agricultural marketplace, amplifying the collective positive impact on farming communities. Smallholder farmers can sell their produce at a better price, access quality inputs and farming information, get paid and pay digitally and develop a financial profile that can unlock financing opportunities for working capital and inputs.
According to McKinsey and Company, more than 60% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa are smallholder farmers, with the agricultural sector contributing an estimated 23% of the continent’s GDP. Yet only 3% of the sector receives banking credit, limiting the farmers capacity to grow their business or mitigate poor harvest losses. By integrating their businesses with payment systems, Farm Pass enables smallholder farmers to build a digital transaction record that can facilitate formal credit or other financial services from banks and other financial institutions.
“Food security is a critical and urgent need in these times. We must therefore rise to the task by creating growth opportunities across the agriculture value chain in Africa. Our partnership with Mastercard has come at the right time to accelerate smallholder farmers’ access to urgently needed financial services, which are vital to realising Africa’s full agricultural potential. It will also help deliver value across the farming and agricultural value chain to make farming in Africa more profitable, competitive, and resilient, thus contributing to the economic growth of the continent,” says Ade Ayeyemi, CEO of Ecobank Group.
“When we empower people, we can power economies and support economic growth that is truly inclusive. Mastercard Farm Pass contributes to this by offering a digital platform that makes it easier for smallholder farmers to move from subsistence to commercial farming. This, in turn, will stimulate agricultural growth, increase competitiveness, and improve food security in Africa. Through close collaborations with important partners like Ecobank, we can create even more impact, putting the digital economy to work for everyone, everywhere,” says Michael Froman, vice-chairman and president: strategic srowth at Mastercard.
“The Mastercard Farm Pass collaboration with Ecobank Group fits well with the intent of the African Development Banks’s recently approved Africa Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF), which is to support countries to boost production and productivity on the continent for key staples. One of the key activities of AEFPF is to connect farmers through e-wallet systems, digitising the procurement of agro inputs and at the same time allowing for reaching farmers in a transparent manner, which will truly revolutionize the transformation of agriculture,” says Solomon Quaynor, vice-president: private sector, infrastructure and industrialization at African Development Bank Group.
Since its launch in 2015, Mastercard Farm Pass has reached nearly 1-million smallholder farmers in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, and India, enabling them to command 25%-50% higher prices and increase harvest productivity. Farm Pass is part of Mastercard’s strategy to connect underserved communities to essential services through Community Pass, a shared interoperable digital platform that supports the company’s commitment to connect one billion people and 50 million small and micro businesses to the digital economy by 2025 | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/15/mastercard-ecobank-digitise-agricultural-value-chains-in-africa/ | 2022-06-15T12:21:39Z | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/15/mastercard-ecobank-digitise-agricultural-value-chains-in-africa/ | false | 4 |

Dental health is vital to our entire well-being. There are a lot of things to think about when you’re pregnant, such as doctor’s appointments, setting up the nursery, and dealing with your body’s rapid changes. Nonetheless, because your body is different today and will continue to change, it is critical to schedule regular dental treatments. Pregnancy has an impact on the health of your teeth, as well as virtually everything else.
What impact does pregnancy have on your oral health?
Changes in your body during pregnancy may impact your teeth and gums. You have increased levels of hormones like progesterone and estrogen in your body, so you may be at risk of a range of oral health problems as a result of this. It’s possible that your eating habits will change. During pregnancy, you may eat more of certain foods than you did before you became pregnant. Your oral health depends on the things you eat. Brushing and flossing your teeth may happen less often now than before you were pregnant. This could be related to sore gums or a higher-than-normal amount of weariness.
Common issues
Cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are small, damaged spots on the surface of the teeth. When you’re pregnant, you’re more likely to get cavities. During pregnancy and after birth, you can pass the bacteria that causes cavities to your infant. This can cause problems with your child’s teeth in the future. Gingivitis is another typical issue. The redness and swelling are caused by gum inflammation. If left untreated, it might progress to more serious gum disease. To avoid all of these problems, seek out the best orthodontist Sydney has to offer. A good specialist can assist you in a variety of areas.
Bleeding gums
Swollen, painful, and bleeding gums are common among pregnant women. Plaque build-up on the teeth is the source of that bleeding. Hormonal changes might leave your gums more prone to plaque, causing inflammation and bleeding. Pregnancy gingivitis, aka gum disease, is another name for this condition. Luckily, your dentist can assist you with this. Gum bleeding is common during pregnancy, but it is usually not severe. However, it’s critical to visit your dentist to avoid complications such as periodontal disease. This is an infection of the gums and the bone that surrounds them, and it can cause tooth loosening and bone loss.
What can you do to avoid dental problems when pregnant?
There are several strategies to maintain good dental health when pregnant. Cleanings, x-rays, and dental exams are all perfectly safe to have while pregnant. Furthermore, you should try to visit your dentist every six months for preventive care. A dentist may even prescribe additional checkups while you are pregnant, depending on your circumstances. During pregnancy, abnormal and unhealthy eating desires are common. However, eating enough healthy meals throughout pregnancy is still important to help your baby’s teeth form properly. Fruits, vegetables, proteins, and unprocessed grains are good options.
Oral hygiene is important
While you’re pregnant, it’s critical to maintain your teeth and gums healthy. Good dental hygiene is the most effective strategy to prevent or treat gum disease. Use fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth two times a day for two minutes each time. Floss once to remove minute food particles from between the teeth and help prevent plaque build-up.
You should consume sugary drinks and sugary foods in moderation. Snack on fresh fruit, vegetables, or plain yogurt if you’re hungry in between meals, and steer clear of sugary or acidic items. Also, you should not use mouthwashes that have alcohol in them.
Pregnancy does imply a period of transformation, particularly for your body. You do not, however, have to suffer from dental discomfort. You’ll be able to enjoy your pregnancy without worrying about possible oral complications if you take good care of yourself and follow professional advice. | https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/how-pregnancy-affects-your-teeth-and-what-you-can-do-about-it-2/ | 2022-06-15T12:25:51Z | https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/how-pregnancy-affects-your-teeth-and-what-you-can-do-about-it-2/ | false | 1 |

Since baseball’s earliest years, U.S. presidents have been big fans of the national pastime. Among the most avid baseball fans were William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson and Richard M. Nixon. After his political career ended, the players’ union lobbied to have Nixon appointed to head the Major League Baseball Players Association.
But the only president to every play professional baseball was Dwight Eisenhower, and therein lays a tale.
Eisenhower grew up in rural Abilene, Kansas, starred as a right end in football and excelled in center field on his 1908 high school baseball team. Ike’s brother, Edgar, played fullback and first base. Since the Eisenhower family couldn’t afford to send both boys to college, the brothers struck a deal. Edgar went to the University of Michigan, while Dwight worked at a local creamery and sent his wages to his brother.
At age 21, Ike won an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy in West Point and became a star running back alongside another future WWII general, Omar Bradley. The New York Times called Ike “one of the most promising running backs in Eastern football,” but a knee injury ended Eisenhower’s football days. And to what Eisenhower called “one of the greatest disappointments of my life ... maybe the greatest,” he didn’t make the Army baseball team.
But Ike had a baseball secret, one that could have altered his life’s course had it become known while he was at West Point. The year before Ike enrolled, and using the pseudonym “Wilson,” he played professional baseball in the Class D Central Kansas League as the Junction City Soldiers’ center fielder. Ike once told the Associated Press that he played poorly and was paid little. But setting off for college, Ike needed even the small sums he earned.
Years later, at a game Ike attended between the New York Giants and the Boston Braves, managers Mel Ott and Bob Coleman asked General Eisenhower to confirm whether he had played professionally, and if so, at what position. Ike half-kiddingly replied, “That’s my secret.”
Ike’s desire for secrecy is understandable. The NCAA has strict rules that prohibit student athletes from playing professionally. If found to have received compensation, the consequences, as Olympic decathlon star Jim Thorpe discovered, are severe. Thorpe was stripped of his two 1912 Olympic gold medals when the committee learned that he had played two seasons of semi-professional baseball and had therefore violated the amateurism rules.
For Eisenhower, his punishment would have been immediate expulsion from West Point.
It’s likely Eisenhower knew he had broken the West Point Code of Honor when he signed a 15-question legibility card attesting to his amateur status. As years passed, Ike stopped talking about his baseball-playing years, instructing his staff to dodge questions. A memo found among Ike’s presidential papers at the Abilene Eisenhower Library read: “As of August 1961, DDE indicated inquiries should not be answered concerning his participation in professional baseball — as it would necessarily become too complicated.”
Had West Point expelled Eisenhower, he might never have become the general who led the Allied forces to victory in World War II, might never have presided as Columbia University’s president and might never have served two U.S. presidential terms.
From his earliest days, Ike truly loved baseball. His favorite story recalls the time when, on a warm Kansas afternoon, he and a young friend went river fishing and fantasized aloud about their futures. The friend told Ike that one day he wanted to be the U.S. president. Dwight said that “he wanted to be a real Major League Baseball player like Honus Wagner.” In the end, Ike concluded, “Neither one of us got our wish.” | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/guzzardi-eisenhowers-baseball-secret/article_a7363226-ebf4-11ec-9a90-8b7454d5341e.html | 2022-06-15T12:27:38Z | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/guzzardi-eisenhowers-baseball-secret/article_a7363226-ebf4-11ec-9a90-8b7454d5341e.html | false | 4 |
Some angry school feeding caterers in the Western Region have picketed at the offices of the School Feeding Programme Secretariat in Accra, agitating over the non-payment of monies owed them for preparing meals for pupils.
They say their monies have been in arrears for more than three school terms.
The caterers, numbering about 50, are part of the numerous cooks nationwide who have boycotted cooking until government pays them for work done.
Last week, caterers in Savannah, Volta, Western North, Oti, Bono, Ahafo, Bono East and North-East regions were reportedly paid by the government.
But speaking to Citi News, the caterers who travelled from the Western Region said none of them have been paid despite their numerous complaints.
One of the caterers who spoke to Citi News said many other caterers have developed ailments and some have died due to the pressure involved in dealing with their debtors.
“We came from the Western Region. The government has given us a job but at a point, the work became difficult. Our payments are no longer forthcoming as they used to be. When they are to pay, they only make part payment. We are owed arrears from 2019 and 2020. There are also arrears from the past 11 months. Our debtors are demanding their monies,” the spokesperson for the group said.
She added that, “the worst of all is some of our colleagues have died as a result of the pressures involved. It is very embarrassing trying to hide from your debtor. We have come here because of our monies. We have been patient all this while, but today we want our monies.”
The group appealed to Gertrude Quashigah, the Acting National Coordinator for the Ghana School Feeding Programme, to immediately work on their complaint and ensure they receive their payments to enable them to continue to render the meal provision service to pupils in the Western Region.

Best gifts for BTS fans
After just finishing a visit with President Joe Biden in the White House, BTS has released a new three-disc set called “Proof.” While last year saw the release of the infectious smash hit “Butter” and the ultimate, feel-good track, “Permission to Dance,” along with a few memorable collaborations, the global powerhouse hasn’t released an original album since November 2020. Fans have been waiting for something big, and this septet has delivered. To celebrate, besides buying the music, you can purchase some fun BTS-themed gifts for the A.R.M.Y. member in your household.
What does BTS stand for?
In the early days, BTS was a champion for adolescents. The group wanted to protect young people from criticisms, expectations and stereotypes. BTS stands for “Bangtan Sonyeondan,” which translates to “Bulletproof Boy Scouts.” The band’s original logo was a bulletproof vest that represented this concept. The BTS fandom keeps the military theme going as they call themselves “A.R.M.Y.,” which stands for “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.”
A few years later, BTS added a new aspect to its identity by proclaiming the letters could also stand for “Beyond The Scene” and not “Behind The Scenes.” This meant the boys represented a younger generation that was always trying to press forward to move beyond the current scene of reality.
Why do fans love BTS so much?
While the reason to join the BTS A.R.M.Y. may differ for each individual, there are many overarching positives that can be cited.
Talent
Each member of BTS is extraordinarily talented. They can sing and dance, and they radiate charisma. BTS fans recognize that honest talent and embrace it.
Musical diversity
With bits of rap, pop, R&B and more, BTS has a sound that, in many ways, is its own genre. The group is not boxed in or clearly defined because the songs explore and borrow elements from various genres.
Positive message
In an era where lyrics are vulgar, materialistic, self-centered and mean, BTS often sings about stepping up, taking responsibility and traveling the higher road. They are about respecting yourself and others while being free to explore who you are without apologizing.
Positive actions
The positivity of the band goes beyond its lyrical message. Several of the members donate substantial sums of money to worthy causes.
Strong fan bond
BTS understands the reason they exist is because of fans. The band, which has far outgrown the need or ability to respond to individual fans, still makes time to do exactly that. BTS is as loyal to its fans as the fans are loyal to BTS.
Aren’t bound by norms
BTS are genuinely inclusive, as the members profess their acceptance of everyone through fashion without being bound by traditional gender norms.
What is “Proof?”
BTS’s latest release is a three-disc anthology that features 35 tracks. The first disc offers a retrospective of the group’s career and contains 19 singles. The second disc starts with “Run BTS,” and is followed by a variety of material that is either solo offerings or collaborations that do not include all seven members. If you stream, the last disc only has “For Youth,” a love letter to BTS fans. However, if you purchase a physical copy, you get 11 previously unreleased demos and two new songs. Additionally, fans who purchase the physical box set will get bonus album art, photos, lyric sheets, a poster and more.
9 gifts for the BTS fan in your family
While wireless earbuds or headphones would be an excellent gift for any music lover, BTS has so much merchandise that a fan can proudly proclaim they are a member of the A.R.M.Y. in a variety of ways.
If you don’t have the music yet, this should be your top choice. “Proof” is the three-CD set that chronicles the group’s history from 2013 to now. It includes bonus tracks that you can’t get online.

Blockchain gaming platform provides more options and accessibility for users
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MetaMagnet Ltd., operator of the universal blockchain gaming platform, C2X today announced its plans to create its own Mainnet for best servicing the platform and supporting its users, which is proprietary-owned by the company and will provide easier accessibility and assistance for all.
Changing the Mainnet will allow users to have faster and easier access to services and eliminate internal risks they could experience. The decision was made after careful consideration of multiple options, but the regard was for the most stable and reliable service for those using the platform.
"Building our own Mainnet means shaping an environment where C2X participants themselves will be in full control of any circumstances within the ecosystem. We have strived to be an open option as a blockchain gaming platform leveraging sophisticated decentralized programs such as Beta Game Launcher, and other services, noted Director of Corporate Development of Com2uS, master provider of C2X. Michael Lee. "C2X will further broaden its spectrum to become a blockchain cultural contents platform to preserve and protect a variety of digital media contents," he added.
Com2uS Group has been introducing various blockchain games to the global market through the C2X blockchain platform. Four titles are currently being serviced: Com2uS' "Summoners War: Lost Centuria", Com2uS Holdings' "Chromatic Soul: AFK Raid," "Baseball Superstars 2022," and AllM's "Kritika Global." More than 10 high-quality Web3 games are lined up, including "Summoners War: Chronicles," MMORPG based on global-hit Summoners War IP and "World of Zenonia." Along with the establishment of its own Mainnet, Com2uS Group plans to further expand its blockchain-related services ranging NFT and metaverse in addition to blockchain games.
C2X will represent not only games, but all media contents such as movies, music, and art, and in particular, Com2Verse, a metaverse developed by Com2uS Group, which will play a key role in the ecosystem and become a core content source. C2X will develop into a central blockchain platform in leading the culture based on the Web3 spirit.
The now governance token C2X will be upgraded to a native coin and C2X will be a base currency for all activities taking place in the ecosystem including "Com2Verse" and its "NFT Marketplace" making C2X a truly predominant currency that spans the entire Mainnet ecosystem. C2X's Mainnet will allow all C2X holders to validate the blocks on the basis of the PoS algorithm based on Tendermint technology and will utilize the COSMOS SDK to appropriately perform upgrades to suit the needs of the new C2X ecosystem.
Tendermint has long been used as the foundation technology for many blockchain Mainnets, and has been recognized for its superb stability, as well as its excellent flexibility, scalability and its interchain properties.
"Numerous services will be able to smoothly join the new C2X ecosystem by using C2X SDK, and secure high scalability and as well as interoperability with other individual blockchains. To facilitate the process and demonstrate high responsiveness to a variety of situations, C2X will team up with new partners in technology and will be joined by some key developers from the Com2uS group," added Business Development Manager, Brian Choi.
The core construction of the Mainnet will be completed by the end of July 2022 and all relevant assets and contracts will be migrated over by the end of August 2022. C2X will continuously strive to successfully operate the Mainnet in the long run.
"Please look forward to the new Web3 era of digital media content that C2X will present to the world and become a central provider as a blockchain cultural contents platform," added Choi.
For more information, please visit: https://c2x.world.
C2X was developed with the purpose of establishing a standard for the blockchain game industry that will continuously advance in the future. Developed by Com2uS Group with Terraform Labs and Hashed as advisors, C2X platform is built on the Terra blockchain and provides an end-to-end solution for blockchain games including token economics, NFT marketplaces and Wallet. The platform's highly scalable design allows users to easily manage all digital assets that are linked to the platform, and its governance token publicizes all service decisions and operations of the games built on the ecosystem. It is an ecosystem of virtuous cycles where all users and creators are privileged on the basis of a high standard of stability, fairness and transparency, and thus intended to present a sound direction for current blockchain gaming platforms.

Delivers immersive learning experience through rich multimedia and live surgical demonstrations
NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With a focus on essential skills for successful cataract surgery, HelpMeSee has announced the release of an eBook on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) that delivers an immersive learning experience through rich multimedia, live surgical demonstrations and a step-by-step guide to the surgical procedure.
A global nonprofit, HelpMeSee trains cataract specialists using virtual-reality, simulation-based training. The organization works to fight cataract blindness and visual impairment, which affects more than 100 million people worldwide.
"Rather than adapting content from an existing textbook, the HelpMeSee MSICS eBook has been distinctly designed to bring learning to life through live surgical demonstrations and rich multimedia," said Saro Jahani, president and CEO. "The innovation of the eBook lies in its powerful, interactive experience, which allows learners at all levels to master the material and gain expertise in cataract surgery".
The eBook content is designed for residents, ophthalmologists, fellows, medical students and other professionals performing or supporting cataract surgery.
The HelpMeSee MSICS eBook is available for purchase in the United States and the European Union and will be available in other parts of the world soon. It is accessible online or offline using any platform and device; including Windows or Mac OS, or apps in iOS and Android platforms.
"The HelpMeSee MSICS eBook is an incredibly comprehensive resource," said Dr. Stan Pletcher, co-founder of Global Sight Alliance and founder of Great Lakes Eye Care. "The depth of its multimedia and illustration makes it a powerful tool. With high-quality, detailed drawings, and intuitive navigation, I believe the eBook will inspire learners and build competency. I applaud HelpMeSee's commitment to give back to the eyecare community."
"Our team has experienced the HelpMeSee MSICS eBook and we feel it will be very valuable to our residents as they learn," said Dr. Charles O. Bekibele, a professor and consultant ophthalmologist at the University of Ibadan and University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. "In Nigeria, cataract blindness has a deep impact, limiting the ability of people to work, seek education and live a full life. We are pleased to have this resource as part of our training, as we work with our partner at HelpMeSee to restore sight for people who cannot get care today."
Coupled with the launch of the eBook, the nonprofit has also created the HelpMeSee eBook Fund, which is dedicating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the product to provide no-cost surgery for people suffering from unnecessary cataract blindness in developing nations.
"In the world today, there are people who live their entire lives blind, because they cannot get access to eye care. In keeping with our mission to restore sight for people who suffer, we will use this fund to change lives, with 100% of the proceeds going to provide surgery for people who suffer from treatable cataract blindness," said Mr. Jahani.
The eBook Pro-License is available at an introductory price of $69 through July 15, providing access for one year with unlimited updates. The Buy One + Give One option includes the Pro- License eBook access for one year and gifts a Pro-License to an ophthalmologist in the developing world at no cost. Multi-license discounts are available.

In a world where 100 million people are blind or visually impaired due to cataract, HelpMeSee works to eliminate cataract blindness by training cataract specialists using virtual reality, simulation-based training. The nonprofit was founded by Al and Jim Ueltschi, who saw the opportunity to end suffering by delivering innovation from the aviation industry to the fight against cataract blindness. Today, with more than 40 simulators and 11 training centers worldwide, the organization partners with governments, universities, and innovators to fight the global cataract blindness crisis and restore sight.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — More drivers are running out of gas on the road as they try to avoid paying higher fuel prices.
AAA reports that Virginia’s average gas price, for example, was $4.86 per gallon Tuesday. On Jan. 1, it was $3.15. The national average price Tuesday was $5.01, compared to $3.28 at the start of January.
The agency said drivers that put $10 of gas in their tanks six months ago would have gotten over three gallons at the pump. That same $10 today would get them just over two gallons in their tank.
Doglas Leocadio, who filled up at a Chesterfield County, Virginia, gas station Monday afternoon only spent a few dollars at the pump.
“I just put a little bit here because my gas was really low and my car was, like, gasping,” he said. “I was trying to go to other gas stations that have a better deal.”
AAA said when drivers put off filling up their tank, it runs the risk of costing them more down the road. From April through June 7 of this year, 1,168 Virginia drivers ran out of gas and requested fuel deliveries.
That number is slightly up from last year when AAA ran 1,166 fuel delivery calls for members — and it’s 10% higher than the number of calls it received in 2019 during the same period.
Geico said Monday that the company receives at least five out-of-gas calls per day across the United States since prices have been going up.
Some of their customers may not know that certain policyholders are able to get up to $5 worth of fuel or a tow to the nearest gas station.
Geico added that it has an average response time of one hour, and if a driver is stranded in an unsafe place, the company encourages them to call law enforcement for assistance.
Morgan Dean, AAA Mid-Atlantic Manager of Public and Government Affairs, added that running out of gas is not only inconvenient but could be dangerous, “especially if the car runs out of gas in the middle of a busy highway.”
He said it could also be costly: “Running out of gas can also do damage to the vehicle’s fuel system that could cost hundreds of dollars to repair.”
To avoid running out of gas, AAA said drivers should fill up the tank when the fuel gauge hits a quarter of a tank.
Leocadio said he’s finding other ways to save on his gas. “I’m trying to not carry a lot of weight on my van. I’m trying to drive as less as possible,” he said.
He added the gas prices don’t look like they’ll go down anytime soon.
“Expecting the price to go down? I think it’s a utopia,” he said. | https://www.fox46.com/news/aaa-says-empty-gas-tank-could-cost-you-more-than-filling-up/ | 2022-06-15T12:33:16Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/aaa-says-empty-gas-tank-could-cost-you-more-than-filling-up/ | false | 19 |

Miros’ dry-mounted Wavex was selected by EQUANS to collect operation-critical wave and current data on the offshore substation for the Saint-Brieuc Offshore Wind Farm, Iberdrola's first large-scale and flagship offshore wind power project in Brittany, France.
Once it becomes operational in 2023, the windfarm will have a total installed capacity of 496 megawatts (MW), capable of generating enough clean energy for 835,000 people.
Wavex is a virtual sensor designed for accurate wave and current measurements, capturing and processing sea surface backscatter data via a standard X-band marine navigation radar. It calculates and displays directional wave and surface current data contributing to increased vessel operability, improved safety, and cost savings.
As the Saint-Brieuc maintenance strategy relies on using surface vessels, jack-up vessels, and ROVs/UAVs maneuvering close to the foundations and cables, the maintenance work would typically be limited by current speeds as low as 1m/s. Since the site current speed exceeds 1m/s daily, Iberdrola needs to manage the working time of the vessels concerning the specific operational characteristics of those vessels.
Iberdrola works together with EQUANS, which is responsible for the integration work on the substation locally in Belgium, before transporting it to the site on the North Coast of France. AILES MARINES is responsible for the development, construction, installation, and operation of the offshore wind farm. | https://www.oedigital.com/news/497363-miros-wavex-tapped-to-support-saint-brieuc-offshore-wind-project | 2022-06-15T12:36:23Z | https://www.oedigital.com/news/497363-miros-wavex-tapped-to-support-saint-brieuc-offshore-wind-project | true | 2 |

Emmy-winning creator, producer, and director Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack) has signed an exclusive multiyear cross-studio overall deal with Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation.
Under the pact, Tartakovsky will develop, create, and produce original animated programming at both CNS and WBA intended for a variety of audiences and for all television platforms, including HBO Max, external streaming services, cable and broadcast networks. The cross-studio overall deal, developed by CNS and WBA, provides creators with maximum creative flexibility to develop original material and access to the extensive character and franchise libraries at each studio.
Tartakovsky is currently in production on Unicorn: Warriors Eternal – an animated supernatural adventure family event series coming soon to HBO Max and Cartoon Network. Season two of his Emmy-winning series, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, premieres this summer on Adult Swim.
Sam Register, President of Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation said: “Genndy is a true visionary who embodies the creator spirit of Cartoon Network Studios. As he continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and animation, we are excited to have a front row seat both here and now also at Warner Bros. Animation.”
Tartakovsky created Dexter’s Laboratory, Cartoon Network’s first series, during his time at Hanna-Barbera where he also helped produce and direct another fan favorite series, The Powerpuff Girls. He then moved to Cartoon Network Studios, where he created Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan as well as produced and directed the beloved animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars.
In 2012, Tartakovsky made his feature directorial debut with the Golden Globe-nominated Hotel Transylvania and later directed its two sequels.
Tartakovsky reunited with Adult Swim for half-hour animated series, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, that debuted in 2019. It features a caveman at the dawn of evolution, a dinosaur on the brink of extinction and their unlikely friendship that becomes their only hope for survival in a violent, primordial world.
Tartakovsky has received 13 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, winning five for his work on Star Wars: Clone Wars, Samurai Jack, and Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal. He is repped by WME.
“My time at Cartoon Network Studios, since its inception, has been the most creatively formative and fulfilling years of my career,” said Tartakovsky. “I now find myself continuing that amazing relationship as well as bringing in Warner Bros.

Two of the leading platforms unite to provide advertisers and marketers with first party data targeting and closed-loop measurement
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AdQuick.com, the world's top out-of-home (OOH) advertising platform, today announces a powerful partnership with LiveRamp, a leading data enablement platform, to enable AdQuick users with first party data targeting and closed-loop measurement. With this partnership, OOH advertisers will gain access to an array of new targeting and measuring capabilities for both traditional and digital OOH ads, and LiveRamp customers receive a first-of-its-kind pathway to activate addressable audiences in OOH.
"At AdQuick, our mission is to make OOH advertising easier and more data-driven than ever before," said Matthew O'Connor, chief executive officer of AdQuick. "Now, for the first time, marketers will have the chance to utilize first party data targeting and closed loop measurement with traditional outdoor advertising –– not just programmatic digital OOH –– which represents the vast majority of available OOH inventory. This means they'll be better able to align their marketing strategies across all channels and able to more accurately measure the effectiveness of their OOH campaigns."
AdQuick had already made it possible for users to target third party audiences and measure campaign effectiveness through place visitation, but the OOH landscape is rapidly evolving. Now, marketers and advertisers can leverage first party data targeting to reach their most loyal customers, customer lookalike audiences, lapsed audiences, and more. LiveRamp helps marketers share anonymized first party data segments with AdQuick, while AdQuick uses behavioral data from mobile devices to rank available ad inventory based on the likelihood of reaching these audiences.
AdQuick users can also close the loop and gain a true understanding of ROI by linking media exposure to actual revenue generated. First party sales data delivered via the LiveRamp integration can be mapped to OOH ad exposure using mobile device location data, in order to attribute offline sales to OOH media impressions.
AdQuick's partnership with LiveRamp signals momentum in the transformation of capabilities OOH can offer advertisers and marketers. To learn more about first data party targeting and closed loop measurement, please visit AdQuick.com.

Teen employee killed at Colorado Walgreens; coworker arrested
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A teenager killed at a Colorado Springs Walgreens allegedly expressed concerns for a year about the man accused in her death.
According to arrest papers obtained by KKTV Tuesday, then-16-year-old Riley Whitelaw told store managers in 2021 that coworker Joshua Johnson was making advances towards her and she was uncomfortable.
A year after she first made the complaint, Whitelaw was dead and 28-year-old Johnson was in custody on first-degree murder charges.
Police said they received a 911 call just before 7 p.m. Saturday. The man on the line said a body had been found in the break room at the Walgreens off Centennial and Vindicator.
“Several police cars came speeding into the parking lot, and I looked out my window, which is right across, and they went inside, went in circles around the building and then came out, and they were here for hours,” Jennifer James said.
According to the arrest affidavit, responding officers found a young woman on the floor with neck injuries and blood all over the room. Her ID badge and radio earpiece were lying near her feet.
“Officers observed no signs of life,” the affidavit stated.
The person who called 911 was identified as one of the managers at the store. He told police Whitelaw had gone on break earlier in the afternoon and never returned.
According to the arrest affidavit, the manager reviewed surveillance video and saw Johnson stacking bins in front of the surveillance camera until it blocked the view. He also said someone had taped paper over the windows in the area of the break room, and the “restroom closed” sign was placed in the area to keep people out, something that doesn’t happen until the end of the business day.
The manager said he checked the break room after viewing the surveillance and found Whitelaw’s body.
A 16-year-old customer told police she was standing in the deodorant aisle when she heard a female screaming and the sound of stall doors slamming.
Johnson was arrested by state troopers the following day nearly 100 miles outside the city. He was covered in cuts and bruises when troopers spotted him on the side of the interstate Sunday morning, and he told troopers he had been attacked at a Walgreens in Colorado Springs, said Sgt. Troy Kessler with Colorado State Patrol.
But when troopers checked in with the Colorado Springs Police Department, they learned Johnson was actually the suspect in the incident. He was swiftly arrested and taken back to Colorado Springs, where he was being held without bond in the El Paso County Jail.
During a interview, Johnson allegedly admitted to being in the break room and claimed he fell in the blood and went home to change his clothes. The affidavit states that Johnson denied stacking boxes in front of the camera “even when confronted that there was surveillance video showing him doing it.”
He also allegedly acknowledged having a crush on Whitelaw at one point but claimed it was over. However, in their own interviews with police, one of the managers reportedly said she had asked for a different schedule as recently as several weeks ago to avoid working with Johnson, and another manager told officers Johnson showed signs of jealousy when Whitelaw’s boyfriend started working at the store in the spring.
This remains an active investigation. The Walgreens location remains closed Tuesday.

Handwritten notes Texas Gov. Greg Abbott used after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde reportedly shed new light on his erroneous comments about the police response — and raise questions about who allegedly “misled” him about the officers’ performance.
Abbott, who initially praised police for their “quick response” to the massacre, later said he was “livid” after being “misled” into saying responding officers had “engaged with the gunman” outside the school before he entered the building.
The governor’s notes — obtained by KTRK — contain bulleted points he used the day after the May 24 shooting that say Independent School District police “approached gunman + engaged” and “Border Patrol, ISD officers, Police, Sheriffs + DPS converged on classroom.”
The nine pages of scribbled notes do not spell out who told Abbott that cops confronted shooter Salvador Ramos outside the building, though he had written the word “mayor” at the top of the sheets, according to the Texas Tribune.
Mayor Steve McLaughlin declined to comment to the news outlet about what he discussed with the governor ahead of the media briefing.
Abbott was grilled after his first press conference on whether he knew about police deciding to not breach the door to the classroom where Ramos slaughtered 19 children and two teachers.
It took cops about an hour to get inside the classroom — and only after they got a key from a janitor to unlock the door, authorities have said.
The governor said the information police initially gave him about the response time was inaccurate, leading him to release flawed details to the public.
“The reason it was not worse is because law enforcement officials did what they do. They showed amazing courage by running toward gunfire for the singular purpose of trying to save lives,” Abbott said at first about the bloodbath.
“And it is a fact that because of their quick response, getting on the scene of being able to respond to the gunman and eliminating the gunman, they were able to save lives,” he added about the cops.
He later walked back his comments.
“I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me [by law enforcement]” Abbott said. “As everybody has learned, the information I was given turned out in part to be inaccurate. I was absolutely livid about that.”
He added: “There are people who deserve answers the most, and those are the families whose lives have been destroyed. They need answers that are accurate. It is inexcusable that they may have suffered from any inaccurate information whatsoever.”
The governor’s comments came hours after Texas police admitted that they made the “wrong decision” by waiting outside the classroom.
His handwritten notes also contain references that there was no mental health history and no criminal history for the gunman – and include a list of resources, including crisis teams.
The Texas Department of Public Safety declined to release information about interviews it conducted with officers while creating a timeline of the response, KTRK said.
“Revealing the marked records would provide criminals with invaluable information concerning Department techniques used to investigate and detect activities of suspected criminal elements; how information is assessed and analyzed; how information is shared among partner law enforcement agencies and the lessons learned from the analysis of prior criminal activities” DPS told the outlet.
DPS Director Steve McCraw said the incident commander for the shooting was Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, and that it was Arredondo’s decision to wait about 77 minutes to breach the classroom door where the gunman was.
“It was the wrong decision. Period,” McCraw told reporters.
Arredondo recently disputed the claim that he was the incident commander, telling the Texas Tribune that he never gave orders and didn’t even have his police radios with him.
Meanwhile, Uvalde’s mayor on Tuesday said the city will evaluate releasing records about the shooting after the investigation is complete, Fox News reported.
“The City of Uvalde and its Police Department strive for transparency every day,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
“The Uvalde County District Attorney has requested the city to not release any City records related to the Robb Elementary School investigation. The District Attorney told us the material is still being reviewed and her investigation is ongoing,” he added. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/15/gov-abbotts-notes-shed-light-on-who-misled-him-on-school-shooting/ | 2022-06-15T12:50:40Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/15/gov-abbotts-notes-shed-light-on-who-misled-him-on-school-shooting/ | false | 1 |

Lucas Torreira is on his way back to Arsenal, at least for the time being, after bidding an emotional farewell to Fiorentina and their supporters with the chances of completing a permanent transfer now over.
The Uruguay international enjoyed a productive 2021/22 season on loan with the Florence outfit as he made a total of 35 appearances across all competitions, getting forward from his defensive midfield position to score five goals and even weigh in with a couple of assists.
Furthermore, Torreira has recently made no secret of his desire to join Fiorentina on a permanent basis but the Serie A side have performed a u-turn over a potential deal as it was reported by football.london towards the end of last season they were in negotiations with Arsenal to activate the option to buy the midfielder for around £13million.

Fast forward a few months and the 26-year-old has confirmed that Fiorentina have decided against taking up the option to turn his deal in to a permanent one - thus causing the Gunners to miss out on a welcome £13m windfall - with the midfielder suggesting his move was prevented by "those acting in a bad way".
"Unfortunately, the time has come to say goodbye," Torreira wrote on Instagram. "It is with great sadness that my relationship with ACF Fiorentina ends. Club that gave me so much love and support all this time. From the beginning they made me feel at home. I discovered a wonderful city that was always kind to me, both on and off the pitch.
"They always showed me affection, respect and for that I will always be grateful. Thanks to his confidence I was able to find the continuity and level I wanted. I owe that to my teammates and all the fans who gave us energy game by game. Know that I always left everything on the field of play for these colors.
"Special thanks to all the club staff; cooks, props, manager, physiotherapist and security. They are the fundamental piece for the functioning of this institution. Know that I did my best to continue being part of this club, but unfortunately there were those who, acting in a bad way, according to my understanding, managed to prevent this from happening and that is why I have to leave.
"I wish you the best for the future. They will have one more fan cheering from wherever I have to be. #ForzaViola."
It's not clear as to who Torreira is blaming for the collapse of his move to Fiorentina, but following their big payday in the January transfer window when they sold Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus one can assume they shouldn't have had a problem triggering the £13m clause to sign him after banking £66m five months ago.
With that said, Torreira is now facing an uncertain future. For example, it's clear he doesn't have a future at Arsenal as his shirt number has already been given to Gabriel Martinelli ahead of the new season and with one year remaining on his contract, the Gunners may have to reduce their asking price otherwise they may find it difficult to move the midfielder on this summer. | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-windfall-lucas-torreira-24231869 | 2022-06-15T12:53:15Z | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-windfall-lucas-torreira-24231869 | false | 1 |

LAS VEGAS, NV, June 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PSYC Corporation (OTCPink: PSYC) (“PSYC” or the “Company”) a media leader for the emerging sector of medicinal psychedelics and authorities behind Psychedelic Spotlight, a top ranking psychedelic news and information platform, is pleased to announce that the 5th episode of their talk show series, Spotlight In Focus, will be headlined by an exclusive interview with American entrepreneur, billionaire, and founder of GoDaddy, Bob Parsons.
The interview, conducted by PSYC CEO, David Flores, highlights the journey of Parsons finding his way “back home” with the help of psychedelic-assisted therapy, his personal battle with PTSD, which, as Parsons explains during the interview, can be traced back to the traumatic events he witnessed and experienced during his service in Vietnam as a proud and decorated member of the United States Marine Corps.
Parsons and Flores also discuss the important role therapy and counseling play alongside psychedelics when treating specific mental health conditions like PTSD and how, in Parsons’ case, the combination of the two were critical in helping him overcome the challenges he faced with his PTSD.
In addition to the segment dedicated to Parsons, the episode also features an exclusive inside look at Radiance Wellness in St. Louis, where Dr. Zinia Thomas is leveraging the use of ketamine therapy to treat patients suffering from treatment resistant depression, anxiety, addiction, and chronic pain.
Psychedelic Spotlight Video Director, Matthew Dunehoo, also speaks with Numinus Wellness CEO and Founder, Payton Nyquvest and music artist, Justin Boreta, to learn more about Music as Medicine, a series of ceremonial concerts exploring the role music plays in psychedelic-assisted therapy and mental health, and on the heels of the first event held in Los Angeles last month.
“With Spotlight in Focus, we seek to share these amazing stories in a disarming and empathetic context. People need to feel at ease to be open to changing their minds. We present our guests and their expertise and experiences as approachably as possible. The concept is ever-evolving, but I believe there’s power in stripping away historically distracting tropes from the narrative, focusing instead on universally relatable truths. Psychedelic medicine and the conversation around the mental health crisis are still highly stigmatized. Significant shifts in perception demand acknowledgement and support from the widest audience possible. We are grateful for the chance to engage and present an array of voices, from mainstream psychedelic advocates like Mr. Parsons, to addicts like friend of the show Brittany who are up against dehumanizing odds in seeking lasting dignity and wellness,” said Dunehoo.
PSYC CEO David Flores elaborated further: “The wonderfully unique stories that we’ve been fortunate enough to feature and tell in this latest episode of Spotlight in Focus strongly reinforces the general excitement and optimism we maintain regarding the psychedelic sector and its potential to transform the lives of so many people. We are especially grateful to have the opportunity for Psychedelic Spotlight to help share Bob Parsons’ inspirational story of healing through psychedelic-assisted therapy. His success as an entrepreneur and philanthropist afforded him a respected voice that reaches millions of people worldwide. For him to come out recently and advocate for psychedelic-assisted healing based on his own personal success is something that, we believe, can help create more momentum behind increasing accessibility to resources focused on psychedelic-assisted healing throughout society.”
Flores concluded with: “There remains a tremendous amount of work and advocacy left to be done in order to guide psychedelic-assisted therapy into the mainstream. And I truly believe the platform we’ve established through Psychedelic Spotlight, and the very real stories we’re able to tell through production pieces like Spotlight in Focus, will be integral in helping pave the way for the progress we fully intend to contribute to in the years to come.”

NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announces that applications are open for the 2023 class of the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN), and qualified Black and Latino CEOs and founders nationwide are encouraged to apply.
Entrepreneurs from historically underrepresented communities lead or own 18% of all businesses nationwide and by one estimate, generate $396b in economic activity. But despite this far-reaching economic impact, systemic discrimination still prohibits some Black and Latino entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential.
In response, the EAN was created to support Black- and Latino-owned companies by helping close disparity gaps in accessing capital, connections and resources.
More details are available below and also at ey.com/ean.
- What: The EY Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN) is a business accelerator for high-growth Black and Latino entrepreneurs. EAN participants receive yearlong access to mentors, an executive curriculum, growth resources and capital connections.
- Why: In 2019, EY leadership observed a lack of access to connections and funding that hinders many Black- and Latino-owned businesses from scaling, and the pandemic further amplified these barriers. As an expansion of our current entrepreneurial ecosystem (35 years Entrepreneur Of The Year®; 15 years Entrepreneurial Winning Women™), EY US developed the EAN to help bridge the gaps for these companies to thrive.
- When: Applications are being accepted now through September 15, 2022. The EAN will notify companies of their acceptance on a rolling basis, beginning early December 2022.
- Who: Black and Latino business owners who meet the criteria may apply online at ey.com/ean. Applicants must be Black or Latino business owners who are founding CEOs and majority owners of any privately held, for-profit company based in the US. The company must be more than two years old and 51% minority (Black/Latino) owned.
- How: The EAN is designed to be a manageable 12-month program for busy executives. The platform includes assessments, one-on-one coaching, a curriculum customized based on needs, access to online tools and networking events, and promotional exposure. There is no cost to participate.

Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi follow. For more on the series, check out our reviews of the Obi-Wan Kenobi premiere, Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2, Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3, and Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4.
Obi-Wan Kenobi has ticked off several Star Wars boxes so far: Tatooine, a princess prison break, and a Vader rampage. What next? The Empire Strikes Back, naturally. It is episode 5 after all – and it’s an entry that feels like a strong return to form, complete with a scene that makes the entire show worth it.
Yes, the episode’s first frame is a surprise – and a welcome one at that. A flashback takes us to pre-Attack of the Clones era Anakin and Obi-Wan engaging in a lightsaber lesson that soon turns into a feisty piece of foreshadowing. It becomes abundantly clear that student and teacher are set to walk down very different paths ("There are other ways to fight," Obi-Wan snaps at a crestfallen Anakin) and it’s a great piece of character work that really drills down into what makes their relationship tick – and fall apart.
Wisely, the episode sprinkles the full scene throughout the episode, deploying moments at key junctures to magnify both Anakin’s downfall and Obi-Wan’s current state of mind. Even better, it gives Hayden Christensen a long-overdue prequel redemption arc; his character has gone from being maligned to beloved – and it’s heartwarming to see just how much fun he has in the scene.
It's on Jabiim, though, where most of the action lies. Obi-Wan finally steps up as a leader – the death of the Jedi on Tatooine in the premiere clearly playing on his mind – and he makes plans to get those on the Path to safety. The Empire, though, is in hot pursuit, with Vader and new Grand Inquisitor Reva knocking at the door – a setup not too far removed from the Resistance’s getaway on Crait in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It’s like poetry. It rhymes.
This sort of last stand wasn’t going to come without sacrifice, however. Given what’s to come in the original trilogy, Tala was always favorite to fall, but it’s the episode’s only real letdown. As the Empire swarms the base, she sacrifices herself – swelling music and a fallen droid accompany her death, but it’s a moment of overt emotional manipulation that doesn’t quite land in the way that’s intended by director Deborah Chow or writer Joby Harold.
One thing Tala’s demise does do, though, is clear the deck for an Obi-Wan and Reva showdown. It’s here where one of the show’s first real fan theories comes true: Reva was present during Anakin’s rampage in Revenge of the Sith. Moses Ingram’s Inquisitor confirms she’s hunting Vader – and also expresses disappointment that Obi-Wan was never there to save the younglings. It’s a real lump-in-the-throat moment, and Ewan McGregor superbly sells the strange mix of disappointment, sadness, and betrayal that suddenly drops like a weight on his shoulders.
It's also a moment that speaks to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s backwards-facing successes. As an audience, we’ve been so preoccupied with how the show fits into A New Hope that, in truth, the Disney Plus series has been more about re-examining Obi-Wan’s place in the prequels. It’s an adept sleight-of-hand and, when coupled with the Anakin flashback, it combines to paint a tragic picture of both Jedi Master and Padawan failing everyone around them.
Speaking of the pair: Anakin and Obi-Wan’s sparring isn’t the only great lightsaber battle in the episode. Reva, inevitably, turns on Vader. Even more predictably, the Sith Lord sees it coming and the two engage in battle.
As a piece of storytelling, it’s deftly handled, with several significant character beats being communicated through their movements alone. Vader first doesn’t take a weapon, not perceiving Reva as any sort of threat, then the pair are on even footing with a lightsaber each. Finally, Reva – having been defeated – is reduced to a scared child, her eyes flickering with the same sort of panic as the night of Anakin’s youngling massacre in the Jedi Temple.
The show truly understands that lightsaber battles aren’t just there to look cool. The pair of duels here are clashes of philosophy, each angry Anakin strike, Obi-Wan feint, and Reva struggle speaks to who they are. Star Wars has sometimes been panned for its clunky dialogue, but never quite praised enough for how it tells a story through action. Obi-Wan Kenobi, then, should cement the franchise – carbonite-style – as best-in-class at telling a story without saying very much at all.
After Reva falls, she is confronted by the returning Grand Inquisitor – Star Wars: Rebels fans, stand down – and is left to die by Vader. As a narrative arc, it’s surprisingly mean-spirited and cruel: Reva going from Jedi-in-training, to Inquisitor, to being mercilessly dispatched with little fanfare. She does, however, have one final trick up her sleeve.
In an episode that has mended canon and expanded our understanding of classic characters, she discovers Bail’s message to Obi-Wan, something that could potentially undo all that. All focus is placed on Luke, sleeping blissfully at the Lars homestead. The right move? Cynically, it could be a rushed way to tie everything up to the original trilogy in the finale but – if this episode is any indication – it’s going to be an intense race-to-the-finish that could tease out even more hard truths for characters we’ve spent decades with.
For more on Obi-Wan Kenobi, check out our interviews with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen on their favorite memories filming the show and how their characters' relationship has changed, as well as Christensen on why he didn't speak to George Lucas before returning as Darth Vader and Moses Ingram on playing the galaxy's newest villain, Reva.

BERLIN (AP) — The German government unveiled a bill Wednesday to resolve a long-running dispute between federal authorities and the country's 16 states over where to build land-based wind power plants.
Some German states have bristled at proposals that would require them to set aside at least 1.4% of their surface for wind parks by 2026 and 2% by 2032, arguing that some people in rural areas don't want turbines close to their homes.
The compromise bill agreed to by the German Cabinet would give states some flexibility to build fewer wind power plants if they can persuade other states to agree to build more, including by paying them.
The bill also stipulates that the city-states of Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg would only have to set aside 0.5% of their surface for wind power. The legislation further states that profits from the parks will be shared with the regions where they are built and environmental protection rules that hamper turbine construction will be eased.
Climate and Energy Minister Robert Habeck said the proposals “will result in the expansion of wind power in Germany getting going again.”
Under Germany's energy transition plan, the country's remaining three nuclear plants are due to close this year and coal-fired power plants to be phased out by 2030.
Europe's biggest economy aims to produce electricity only from renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydropower by 2035.

The all-new BMW X1 is still hot out of the oven and yet the Bavarians are teasing us with yet another small crossover. I know, I know, another front-wheel drive crossover–riveting stuff. However, it’s actually a bit of a surprise because it wasn’t set in stone that another X2 would be coming, especially with BMW trying to focus more on electrification than crossover niche-slicing. And yet here we are, looking at the spy photos of what looks to be yet another generation of BMW X2.
Did the world really need another BMW X2? Probably not but it seems we’ll be getting one anyway. These spy photos clearly show off some sort of small, frumpy BMW crossover and, judging by its odd design and size, it has to be an X2. There’s nothing else it could be, really.
MINI is working on a new Countryman crossover but this test mule isn’t that, as its body shape seems too different. It isn’t round or bubbly enough to be a MINI. Plus, MINIs use black and yellow camouflage, something this car does not have.
Judging from these spy photos, the BMW X2 retains the coupeish roofline and hatch-like rear. It is still based on the X1 which is a shockingly good looking car with a great interior, enough space for a family of five and, if it’s anything like its predecessor, it’ll be good to drive, too. This X2, though, just looks a bit strange and lumpy, with a really wide hood and then two headlights that flank it. Its side profile is also interesting looking, especially near the D-pillar, where there seems to be a bit ovestyled.
Obviously, being a very early pre-production car covered in camouflage, there’s no way to truly knowing what it will look like until it’s unwrapped. However, judging by how well received the BMW X1 was, and still is, I’ll give this X2 the benefit of the doubt.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Cypress Development Corp. (TSXV: CYP) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z1) ("Cypress" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the ongoing Feasibility Study for the Company's Clayton Valley Lithium Project, in Nevada, USA. The Feasibility Study is under the direction of Wood PLC ("Wood") and Global Resource Engineering ("GRE") and all related work is proceeding well, and it remains on track for completion in late 2022.
- Geotechnical study in progress
- Continued operation of the Pilot Plant
- 500-ton bulk sample collected for further metallurgical material
- Sonic drill program completed consisting of 580 meters in eight drill holes
- Resource model updated with data from recently acquired property
Wood personnel conducted on-site visits in supervising the collection of geotechnical data for the foundation design of the Company's processing plant site and tailings storage facility. The samples collected for Wood's geotechnical program were shipped to materials testing laboratories, and additional on-site work is planned in the next month.
GRE personnel conducted site visits in preparation to work on the Project's resources and reserves. GRE personnel supervised the collection of a suite of large-diameter core samples for assay and geotechnical testing, which will provide further information for GRE's work on the mine design.
Testing continues at Cypress' Pilot Plant in Amargosa Valley, 100 miles southeast of the Clayton Valley Lithium Project site. The Pilot Plant is now working in its 12th cycle of continuous 24-hr per day testing. The tests are ongoing to examine efficiencies in processing, testing various configurations in equipment and operating conditions, and the plant continues to produce concentrated lithium solutions for use in downstream product testing.
Wood's process engineering team is working with Continental Metallurgical Services and the data from the Pilot Plant, to develop mass balance and equipment sizing. Wood's engineers are also working on the overall project infrastructure, including selection and design of access roads, plant equipment, power, and water supplies.
To support continued testing, a 500-tonne sample of claystone was excavated in late April from an engineered test-pit and transported to the Company's operations headquarters at the Tonopah airport, where it will be crushed, screened, and bagged in preparation for treatment at the Company's Pilot Plant. The sample was collected near DCH-1, and in the vicinity of the planned starter-pit for mining in the Feasibility Study.
"We are pleased with the bulk sampling work. The size of the bulk sample may be larger than necessary for the Pilot Plant to provide adequate information for the Feasibility Study" said President and CEO Bill Willoughby. "This sample, however, allows us to examine lithium grade and other properties in the claystone over a larger volume. It also ensures we have material on hand, should we need it, for future tests or continued operations."
Cypress is continuing to log and sample core from a sonic drill program which commenced and was completed in May. The purpose of the drill program was to obtain large-diameter (6-inch) continuous core. Eight locations were selected for metallurgical, geotechnical, lithological purposes. Each hole yielded 1.9 to 2.3 tonnes of claystone which will be used in metallurgical testing at the Company's Pilot Plant to examine if there are any variations in performance due to depth, location, or material type in the deposit.
Four of the holes (CSV-1 through CVS-4) were completed in the central portion of the project in the vicinity of the proposed starter-pit and the 500-tonne bulk sample. Four other holes (CVS-5 through CVS-8) were completed in the northeast portion of the project on and near the parcel of property recently acquired from Enertopia Corporation ("Enertopia"). In addition to providing metallurgical sample material, these latter four holes will provide confirmation of the data from Enertopia's previous drilling.
"The drilling program proceeded better than expected and was very successful in this first application of sonic drilling in Clayton Valley" stated Daniel Kalmbach, Cypress Manager, Geology and QP. "The quality of the large-diameter core samples are excellent and will provide further valuable data for the Feasibility Study."
The recent addition of land acquired from Enertopia (see news release dated May 5, 2022) resulted in the addition of five core holes which were drilled by Enertopia in 2018. This property comprises 17 unpatented mining claims totaling 160 contiguous acres immediately adjacent to Cypress's Project. A March 2020 NI 43-101 compliant technical report (published by Enertopia) on the property shows an Indicated resource of 82 million tonnes (mt) of 1,121 parts per million (ppm) Li and an Inferred resource of 18 mt of 1,131 ppm Li using a cutoff grade of 400 ppm Li. Cypress has not independently confirmed the resource indicated in the March 2020 NI 43-101 report.
All data received from the property acquisition has been incorporated into the project database and is expected to be used by GRE to generate the resource and reserve estimates and develop the mine plan for the Feasibility Study
Daniel Kalmbach, CPG, is the qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and have approved of the technical information in this release.
Cypress Development Corp. is a Canadian based advanced stage lithium company, focused on developing its 100%-owned Clayton Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA. Cypress is in the pilot stage of testing on material from its lithium-bearing claystone deposit and progressing towards completing a feasibility study and permitting, with the goal of becoming a domestic producer of lithium for the growing electric vehicle and battery storage market.

Ableist means treating people unfairly because they have a disability, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
Lizzo released the song "Grrrls" on Friday from her upcoming album "Special." One of the lines used the word "spaz," derived from the term "spastic," defined as "relating to or denoting a form of "muscular weakness (spastic paralysis) typical of cerebral palsy, caused by damage to the brain or spinal cord and involving reflex resistance to passive movement of the limbs and difficulty in initiating and controlling muscular movement."
Lexico, part of the Dictionary.com and Oxford sites, also notes the word is dated and offensive to someone who has cerebral palsy.
After the song was released, that's what some fans quickly pointed out to Lizzo.
"Hey @lizzo my disability Cerebral Palsy is literally classified as Spastic Diplegia (where spasticity refers to unending painful tightness in my legs) your new song makes me pretty angry + sad," wrote one user.
I’m going to cry 😭 Thank you so much for hearing us Lizzo and for understanding that this was only ever meant gently and being open to learning, it honestly means the world ❤️. You’re a real true ally https://t.co/RbQCbAwpR6
— Hannah Diviney (@hannah_diviney) June 13, 2022
"There's no excuse for using an ableist insult in a song in 2022. As someone who champions women, plus size people and others whom society treats poorly, Lizzo preaches inclusivity and should do better," said another.
I’m disappointed in @lizzo for using the word “sp@z” in her new song “Grrrls”. There’s no excuse for using an ableist insult in a song in 2022. As someone who champions women, plus size people and others whom society treats poorly, Lizzo preaches inclusivity and should do better.
— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) June 11, 2022
While fans expressed their disappointment, some urged that they didn't want Lizzo canceled, but rather educated and to have the word removed.
"I've seen a few comments across the internet talking about "Cancelling Lizzo" and that's not what we want - we want to educate her and have the word changed," said one fan.
Hey @lizzo please remove the word "spaz" from your new song because it's a slur and really offensive to the disabled community
— Shelby 🖤 (@Shelbykinsxo) June 10, 2022
From a disappointed fan 😔💔
By Monday, it appeared that fans' efforts to get Lizzo to change the song worked.
The artist, who went to school in Alief ISD, announced on her social media pages that she released a new version of "Grrrls" with a lyric change.
"It's been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song "GRRRRLS." Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language," her statement began. "As a fat Black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)."
"I'm proud to say there's a new version of GRRRLS with a lyric change. This is the result of me listening and taking action. As an influential artist I'm dedicated to being part of the change I've been waiting to see in the world," she said.
— FOLLOW @YITTY (@lizzo) June 13, 2022
The change wasn't lost on fans, with one of the same people who pointed out her use of the word, adding praise for Lizzo on Twitter for listening.
"Thank you so much for hearing us Lizzo and for understanding that this was only ever meant gently and being open to learning," the fan said.
The incident also appeared to be a learning moment not just for Lizzo, but for the public, as people commented that they didn't know the word was harmful.
"We are all learning from this!" an Instagram user commented.

A new grocery store is opening in Beaverdale Wednesday.
Fareway's new meat market will be at the corner of Beaver and Urbandale avenues, but there have been mixed feelings from neighbors about the store.
Design plans for the store were originally rejected and Fareway had to make changes to give the store a more urban feel and fit the look of the neighborhood.
Some people were also concerned about how walkable the area would become with increased traffic.
Despite the challenges, the Beaverdale Neighborhood Association believes a local grocer is a beneficial addition to the community.
"I think people are really excited about this coming. There's an empty lot at Beaver and Douglas about half a mile north from here where Hy-Vee has been promising a store for many, many years and it hasn't happened, so kudos to Fareway for coming here and making a multi-million dollar investment right here in the most important part of Beaverdale,” Dave Busiek with the Beaverdale Neighborhood Association said.
The meat market is not the end of the neighborhood growth.
On Monday night, Des Moines City Council members approved plans to build a Scooter's Coffee Shop at the intersection of Beaver and Douglas avenues.

India Should Stop ‘Vicious’ Muslim Protest Crackdown - Amnesty
By Staff, Agencies
A top human rights group said India must immediately end a “vicious” crackdown on Muslims who took to the streets to protest against the ruling party official’s remarks about Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and his wife.
Authorities were “selectively and viciously cracking down on Muslims who dare to speak up … against the discrimination faced by them,” Amnesty International’s Aakar Patel said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Cracking down on protesters with excessive use of force, arbitrary detention and punitive house demolitions … is in complete violation of India’s commitments under international human rights law.”
Thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets across India to protest against anti-Islamic comments made by two members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP].
Two Muslim teenagers were killed and hundreds of others arrested last week in nationwide protests over the comments, which embroiled India in a diplomatic furor and caused widespread outrage in the Muslim world.
Amnesty demanded an “immediate and unconditional release” of the jailed protesters.
Also on Tuesday, in a letter to the chief justice of India’s Supreme Court, six prominent former judges and six senior lawyers said the government in Uttar Pradesh state had acted illegally by demolishing the house of a Muslim activist following the protests.
The former judges and lawyers urged the Supreme Court to take action to “arrest the deteriorating law and order situation” in Uttar Pradesh.
Nearly 20 Muslim-majority countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Iran – all important trade partners for India – have lodged diplomatic protests against the anti-Islam remarks and demanded an apology.
Huge protests were also held in India’s neighboring countries, with police estimating more than 100,000 people mobilized across Bangladesh after the Friday congregational prayers.
Another 5,000 people took to the streets in the Pakistani city of Lahore, demanding that their government take stronger action against India over the comments.

Fuel prices have risen faster in some parts of Northamptonshire than others, sparking more accusations of retailers ripping off motorists.
Figures from price-checking website petrolprices.com show the average cost of unleaded soared by up to a whopping 44 percent since June 2021.
Garages claim increases in wholesale costs are being fuelled by rising crude oil prices.
Pump prices in Corby, Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire have gone from being among the cheapest to the most expensive in the county.
Yet year-on-year fuel inflation in Northampton and South Northamptonshire was nearly ten percent less.
And the difference between the county’s cheapest prices, currently to be found in Kettering, has grown from six to nine pence per litre CHEAPER than just a few miles away.
In January, the RAC accused retailers of keeping prices unnecessarily high and taking extra profits while ministers also criticised garages for not immediately passing on a 5p fuel duty cut to customers announced in March.
The Petrol Retailers Association, which represents independent fuel retailers, welcomed a UK’s petrol watchdog review announced this week saying it would confirm the cut was passed on and that its members are operating on "razor-thin margins.”
The association's executive director, Gordon Balmer, said: “Briefings provided by government spokespeople to the media indicate that ministers don't understand how fuel prices are set.
“Petrol retailers have been unfairly scapegoated for rises in the wholesale price of fuel over which they have no control.”
Further figures from the RAC Foundation show petrol costs have risen by 42 percent across the UK in the last year, from an average 130.08 pence per litre in June 2021 to 185.04p on June 13 this year.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy at the AA, said: “Those drivers hit hardest by record petrol and diesel are in low-income households, young drivers trying to make a start in life and rural residents forced to drive much higher mileages than most.”
Extra mileage for rural drivers is a critical issue for many motorists – an average car owner in London drove just 6.9 miles per trip in 2018-19, compared to 9.1 miles in the East Midlands, according to a DfT survey.
At current prices in Northampton, the same journey would cost an average of £2.07 compared to £1.54 last year.
In Corby, the same journey would cost an average of £2.10 – compared to £1.46 last year.
The RAC Foundation said people on lower incomes are hit hardest by fuel price rises as they are unable to switch to electric vehicles and often rely on cars to get to work with no alternative.
Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said: “Only the Chancellor can realistically ease the burden on domestic budgets by stepping in and sharing some of the windfall VAT profits he has been making from sky-high pump prices with those who’ve been having to pay them, the driving public.”
The Treasury insists it has protected eight million most vulnerable households with £1,200 of direct payments this year.
A spokesperson added: “There has been no ‘VAT windfall’ – in March the Office for Budget Responsibility forecasted lower VAT receipts for this year than they did in autumn.” | https://www.daventryexpress.co.uk/business/consumer/cost-of-living/cost-of-living-crisis-where-in-northamptonshire-have-petrol-prices-gone-up-most-in-last-year-3732506 | 2022-06-15T13:24:27Z | https://www.daventryexpress.co.uk/business/consumer/cost-of-living/cost-of-living-crisis-where-in-northamptonshire-have-petrol-prices-gone-up-most-in-last-year-3732506 | false | 3 |

- Deepcrawl's enterprise-scale SaaS platform for technical SEO and website intelligence leverages best-in-class serverless architecture design in its latest crawler to drastically enhance website crawling speeds
- Roll-out of the enhanced crawler is underway to new and existing Deepcrawl users
NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Deepcrawl, an enterprise-scale website intelligence and technical SEO platform, has launched a new, enhanced version of its market-leading website crawler. The latest crawler developments will introduce ultra-fast crawl speeds to the Deepcrawl platform, breaking earlier records with speeds of up to 450 URLs per second for non-rendered pages and 350 URLs per second for JavaScript-rendered pages. These crawl speeds were reached in field testing on enterprise-scale websites and offer a major time-saving boon for teams working on large sites that frequently house hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of pages.
The enhanced crawler allows for unprecedented scalability on a platform that already serves many of the world's largest brands, opening the door to new efficiencies in website analysis. Roll-out of the new crawler has begun, with all users expected to have access to the enhanced platform by September 2022.
Crawling software is a foundational aspect of SEO and website intelligence platforms. It traverses a website's pages to collate the raw data required for sophisticated website analytics and serves as the first step in understanding and optimizing a website's technical health and search performance. Earlier crawling technology could take several days to finish crawling an enterprise-size website — by comparison, Deepcrawl's enhanced crawler can crawl a million pages in the span of just one hour.
Increased flexibility in data collection is also built into this latest crawler release. The information that can be captured in website crawls has been expanded beyond traditional technical SEO metrics, paving the way for new built-in metrics and reporting options within the Deepcrawl platform. Presently, users have access to 250+ built-in reports as well as the ability to design custom extractions that collect data on any specified website element. The added flexibility in data collection allows for new use cases to be developed via Deepcrawl's crawler, with a recently released GraphQL API providing easy implementation for developers.
"Deepcrawl's latest advancements in crawling technology allow for tailor-made website intelligence at unparalleled speeds. The enhanced crawler makes it easier than ever for businesses to make effective decisions about their online presence," said Ali Habibzadeh, Chief Technology Officer at Deepcrawl.

Patel vows to push ahead with Rwanda plan despite legal battles
Home Secretary Priti Patel defended the policy after the first flight was effectively blocked by the European Court of Human Rights.
Priti Patel has insisted the Government will press ahead with its plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda despite an 11th-hour legal ruling by a European court which halted the first departure.
The Home Secretary said she was surprised by the European Court of Human Rights’ intervention, overruling domestic judicial decisions, but told MPs it was “inevitable” there would be legal challenges to the Government’s policy.
In an apparent reference to the human rights lawyers who have repeatedly taken on the Government, she told MPs that “the usual suspects” had set out to “thwart” the plan.
But she added: “This Government will not be deterred from doing the right thing. We will not be put off by the inevitable legal last-minute challenges.
“Nor will we allow mobs to block removals.”
Giving details of the decisions made out of hours by the Strasbourg court, she said it had not ruled the policy was unlawful but “prohibited the removal of three of those on last night’s flight”.
“Those prohibitions last for different time periods but are not an absolute bar on their transfer to Rwanda. Anyone who has been ordered to be released by the courts will be tagged while we continue to progress their relocation.”
She said the court’s decision was “disappointing and surprising” but “we remain committed to this policy”.
“We believe that we are fully compliant with our domestic and international obligations, and preparations for our future flights and the next flights have already begun,” she told MPs.
Ms Patel and Prime Minister Boris Johnson have repeatedly hit out at the lawyers bringing legal challenges against the Government and the groups and MPs supporting them.
The Home Secretary told the Commons: “I am afraid the usual suspects, with the blessings of honourable and right honourable members opposite, have set out to thwart and even campaign against these efforts, and, with that, the will of the British people.”
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Johnson accused Labour of being “on the side of the people-traffickers who would risk people’s lives at sea”.
The ruling by the Strasbourg court was greeted with fury by Tory MPs, with fresh demands for the UK to pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The European Court of Human Rights rules on issues relating to the ECHR and is not an EU institution, so its influence has not been affected by Brexit.
Backbencher Andrea Jenkyns tweeted: “Yes let’s withdraw from European Court of Human Rights and stop their meddling in British law.”
Greg Smith called on the Government to bring forward its promised UK Bill of Rights and “remove all power of the European Court of Human Rights over our sovereign decisions”.
Jonathan Gullis, a ministerial aide to Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis, said “the ECHR’s role in UK law needs looking at urgently” – but reportedly deleted an initial social media post suggesting the court’s role should be removed entirely.
Downing Street would not rule out taking the drastic step of withdrawing from the ECHR and said the Government will do “whatever it takes” to ensure relocation flights to Rwanda go ahead.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said the Government will consider the Strasbourg court’s ruling but that “all options are on the table”.
Asked if the Government could withdraw from the ECHR, the spokesman said: “We are keeping all options on the table including any further legal reforms that may be necessary.
“We will look at all of the legislation and processes in this round.”
Asked if a flight could go ahead before legal proceedings in the UK are complete, the spokesman said: “That is my understanding.”
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the situation is “a shambles and it is shameful and the Home Secretary has no-one but herself to blame”.
“This is not and never has been a serious policy and she knew that when she chartered the plane.”
The ECHR has publicly confirmed details of one of the cases heard by an out-of-hours judge.
It ruled that an Iraqi asylum seeker, referred to as KN, should not be put on a flight until three weeks after the final domestic court decisions on the legality of the whole Rwanda policy.
A full High Court review of the plan is expected in July.
Seven passengers were due to be on the plane to east Africa on Tuesday, a figure dwarfed by the 444 people intercepted attempting to cross the English Channel in small boats on the same day.

One of the nation's most popular breweries is launching a new ale with a dark side. World-renowned Black Sheep Brewery has announced the introduction of new bottled Black IPA - Cry Wolf.
Inspired by the Cry Wolf fable, Cry Wolf is a 500ml premium bottled ale that will be available exclusively in Tesco stores across the country from next month. At 5.0%, Cry Wolf is brewed with Cascade, Columbus, Citra and Chinook hops, combined with black malt, chocolate malt and flaked oats.
Beer lovers can enjoy this punchy Black IPA in the classic 500ml bottle format, typically the preferred option for more traditional styles. Its taste has been described as a fierce bite of roasted malt fused with the gnarly, tropical bitterness of new world hops.
But drinkers should not be deceived, for in the darkness lies a juicy IPA preying on the tastebuds. The launch of Cry Wolf is a step towards Black Sheep’s ambitions to lead innovation in the ‘Premium Bottled Ale’ category.
Jonny Kirkham, head of sales & marketing, said: “We’re proud to announce that we will be launching Cry Wolf exclusively with our friends at Tesco. The ‘wolf’ is a big step in our innovation plans for our PBA portfolio of brands.
"It’s a juicy IPA made with North American hops, making for a tasty, refreshing, and forward-thinking beer, perfect for any occasion. We urge beer lovers to try the fierce bite of Cry Wolf."
Cry Wolf will be available in over 120 Tesco supermarkets nationwide, and will be part of the 4 for £6 deal currently running in-store. It will be joining Black Sheep’s award-winning Milk Stout and Black Sheep Ale on Tesco shelves.
The Black Sheep Brewery is one of British brewing’s most famous and has grown from humble beginnings to become a multi-award-winning company, with its beers enjoyed around the world. As well as its Visitor Centre bar and bistro in Masham, Yorkshire, the brewery also owns and operates a growing number of pubs and bars across the region.

Newegg has just announced a new tool on the PC hardware store for recommending a prebuilt gaming PC to its customers based on a selection of today's top games. It sounds like a neat idea, but is its recommendation engine up to standard? In some ways, it does a decent enough job giving potential buyers a ballpark idea of what to buy, though I wouldn't rush to the checkout off its recommendations alone.
The Gaming PC Finder lives on Newegg's homepage (opens in new tab), and it works like this: you enter your target resolution (1080p, 2K, 4K), select up to four games from a collection of popular picks, and then hit 'view results'.
You'll then be shown three PC recommendations: starter, mainstream, and enthusiast.
The starter PC is, you guessed it, a more entry-level machine. So you're looking at a low-end modern CPU and probably an RTX 3060 (opens in new tab), but maybe something lower. Then there's the mainstream PC, which has a more powerful CPU and an RTX 3060 Ti (opens in new tab) or RTX 3070 (opens in new tab). And finally, the enthusiast PC, which tends to come with a high-end CPU and an RTX 3080 Ti (opens in new tab), or something around that mark.
That's the rough idea, anyways. The PCs it ultimately recommends depend on the games you pick and appear to be based on the sales at Newegg at the time, so results may vary. This is where it slips up most, in fact. It's great that the Finder will show you PCs that are on offer at the moment, but it's not quite clever enough to sniff out the best deal for every scenario.
Here's an example from a search I carried out earlier. I chose four fairly low-rent games as my go-to titles: Apex Legends, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Valorant. Mostly titles that run pretty well on entry-level hardware. Then I selected that I'd like to run these at 1080p.
Now the base recommended PC that Newegg offers actually sounds like a decent machine for the money. For $1,200, you get an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, Intel Core i5 12400F, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That's actually down 17% in the sale, which appears to now have ended.
It's a little on the pricey side for an RTX 3060 compared to some we've found in recent sales, but it's not altogether a terrible price by today's standards for that sort of kit. Customer reviews for this PC seem decent enough, though I haven't tested a machine from ABS so couldn't tell you if they hold up.
Now, where I disagree with Newegg's sentient PC hound is in choosing this PC over one it recommended to me a little earlier in the day, which also costs $1,200 but instead features one of my favourite graphics cards from this generation, the RTX 3060 Ti.
This RTX 3060 Ti PC from MSI comes with an 11th Gen 11400F, a 500GB SSD, and requires a $50 rebate to hit that same price point. So it's not quite a match in some ways. But the RTX 3060 Ti is a much more powerful graphics card than the RTX 3060. The GPU isn't the only part of your PC that will have an impact on your fps, but it does have the biggest, and the RTX 3060 Ti is around 20−40% faster than the RTX 3060 in our testing.
For the same money, then, I'd take the faster graphics card.
If I put more demanding games in the Finder, it recommends the RTX 3060 Ti machine instead. Okay, that makes sense. But if I then ask the system to find a PC to let me play those demanding games, but instead of at 1080p, I want to play at 2K (1440p), it recommends a different PC altogether: one with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 3060 for $1,259.
That's definitely not a better deal, nor is it better for my selection either.
Best gaming PC (opens in new tab): The top pre-built machines from the pros
Best gaming laptop (opens in new tab): Perfect notebooks for mobile gaming
As such, this is not a system you should wholly trust to make your PC purchasing decisions for you. It's varied, which is good, but there's too much variation from result to result to nail down the absolute best PC for your money. Even if you don't leave Newegg you can often find a better deal, or at least some other options. Of course, other sites and PC builders do exist.
There's a lot to consider when buying a PC, and that's why it's a good idea to shop around to make sure you're getting the best deal of the bunch.
I can see the Gaming PC Finger being a handy tool for, say, a parent that wants to buy their kid a gaming PC but doesn't know RTX from RX, or Ryzen 5 from i5—wait, is this stuff meant to be dense as heck? The recommendations it makes are a decent enough baseline of what to look out for, and what performance to expect. That's valuable information for anyone that's not well versed in today's PC gaming hardware, but it's just not quite all you need to go on to actually hit the checkout knowing you saved the most money. | https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/newegg-gaming-pc-finder/ | 2022-06-15T13:29:22Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/newegg-gaming-pc-finder/ | true | 3 |
Dunning pitched six scoreless innings while giving up two hits and four walks in a 4-3 loss to the Astros on Tuesday. He struck out four and did not factor into the decision.
Dunning pitched well Tuesday night against a quality Astros lineup. He managed to keep the opposing team off the scoreboard for the first time this season to bring his ERA down to 4.04. Dunning left the game after six innings and 99 pitches in line for his second win of the season, but the lead was coughed up by the Rangers' bullpen. Fantasy managers can expect that wins will continue to be hard for Dunning to come by given the Rangers' subpar offense. The 27-year-old right-hander is expected to make his next start Sunday in a favorable matchup at Detroit. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/rangers-dane-dunning-blanks-astros-over-six/ | 2022-06-15T13:31:19Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/rangers-dane-dunning-blanks-astros-over-six/ | false | null |
READ THE FULL BBLG RESEARCH REPORT
Although the stock BBLG of Bone Biologics has suffered along with the rest of the biotech-related space, we remain confident in the company's technology to improve the bone regeneration process, potentially providing relief to millions of back pain sufferers in the US and around the world. The NELL-1 protein and the way the Bone is attempting to use it is described in detail below, and the initial results in animal testing have been quite encouraging and we are anxious to see the results of the upcoming first-in-human trials.
The combination product, NELL-1/DBM is expected to be purified NELL-1 mixed with 510(k) cleared Demineralized Bone Putty recommended for use in conjunction with the applicable hardware consistent with the indication. The NELL-1/DBM Device will be comprised of a single dose vial of NELL-1 recombinant protein mixed with DBM putty in the operating room. A vial of NELL-1 plus DBM will be sold in a convenience kit with a diluent and a syringe of 510(k) cleared demineralized bone (DBM putty) produced by MTF. A delivery device will allow the surgeon to mix the reconstituted NELL-1 with the appropriate quantity of DBM Putty just prior to implantation. Since committing to this process and bring in new leadership Bone Biologics has already surpassed four milestones:
• Demonstrating a successful small laboratory scale pilot run for the manufacturing of the recombinant NELL-1 protein in Chinese hamster ovary cells
• Validation of protein dosing and efficacy in established large animal sheep models pilot study
• Completed pivotal animal study
• Filed for a Pilot clinical trial outside the US
Additionally, Bone Biologics has received Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval for a multicenter pilot clinical trial to evaluate NELL-1/DBM in 30 patients in Australia with degenerative disc disease. Additionally, UCLA TDG and Bone Biologics received guidance from the FDA that NELL-1/DBM will be classified as a combination product with a device lead—meaning the PMA approval process will likely be less onerous than if it was a pure drug or classified as a drug lead.
As mentioned above, the prevalence of back pain in the United States, and around the world, is tremendous—with over 65 million Americans reporting some sort of back pain. The market for Bone Biologics, however, is a narrow slice of that pie—although still representing what we believe is a great opportunity. Bone is focusing on the procedure known as spinal fusion—a surgery performed around 350,000 times in the US and many more when looking globally. Spinal fusion surgery is the process of grafting bone, or some synthetic form of bone, in between two vertebrae to stimulate the growth of bone between the vertebrae and link them together. Spinal fusion surgery involves an incision in the neck or back directly over the spine, or on either side of the spine, or in the abdomen or throat so the surgeon can access the spine from the front. The next step is where NELL-1/DBM comes in. This is point in the surgery where the surgeon uses either bone grafts from the patient or a donor's body or a synthetic substance meant to replicate bone in between the two vertebrae. The fused vertebrae may then be temporarily held together while the bone grows with metal plates, screws or rods. The patient can usually go home after a couple of days, but the recovery time can be multiple months with activity severely limited, allowing time for the bone to grow in between the two vertebrae. Indications from the completed trials of the NELL-1/DBM technology indicate that it could cut that recovery time by causing bone regeneration in a more rapid fashion, while reducing the chance for unwanted side effects associated with current synthetic substances. As mentioned, spinal fusion surgery is not meant for all kinds of back pain but some of the conditions that may be relieved by the procedure include:
• Degenerative disk disease
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Fractured vertebra
• Infection
• Herniated disk
• Tumor
The orthobiologics, which are biological substances naturally found in the body that are used to promote quicker healing of muscle, tendon and bone injuries, is a $3 billion market, but the spine is only a portion of that:
The spinal portion of the orthobiologic market is where Bone Biologics is focusing but there are other areas of that $3 billion pie that the company should be able to expand into with NELL-1/DBM. There are many cases that would benefit from quicker and more structurally sound bone regeneration including:
• Spine implant—this is the largest market for bone substitute product—representing more than 70% of the total US market according to Transparency Market Research.
• Non-Union Trauma Cases—while the majority of fractures heal without the need for osteosynthetic products, bone substitutes are used in complicated breaks where bone does not mend naturally. Bone Biologics' management believed that NELL-1 is expected to perform at least as well as high-priced growth factors in this market.
• Osteoporosis—The medical need to find a solution to counter a decrease in bone mass and density is a major medical challenge. The systemic use of NELL-1 to stimulate bone regeneration throughout the body, thereby increase bone density, could have a very significant impact on the treatment of osteoporosis.
Having promising technology is one thing but having the capital and ability to bring that technology through the onerous approval process is almost as important. We believe the leadership currently in place has positioned the company to be able to do just that. The company's 1Q earnings release showed us that expenses remain in check and the cash balance is a healthy $5.8 million, which helps alleviate concern that the company can continue to move the process forward. Once Bone gets into human trials, they will likely need periodic capital infusions, which we believe the current leadership has shown the ability to obtain at relatively favorable terms.
We believe the company is currently trading well below our current valuation of just under $8.00 per share. The stock has undoubtedly suffered from the overall market pullback and the apparent risk aversion among investors but we believe that this provides an opportunity for investors who are willing to take on some risk with the potential for a fairly good-sized upside.

Teen among 4 killed in Florida murder-suicide
CASSELBERRY, Fla. (WKMG) - Four people are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Florida on Tuesday and among the dead is a 15-year-old boy who called 911 saying he had been shot.
Casselberry Chief of Police Larry Krantz says his officers were first called to the teen’s apartment in the Carrington Park Community last Thursday, just five days before a man killed his wife, mother-in-law and stepson.
“We don’t see a history of violence involving these individuals. So, through the investigative efforts thus far, we’re trying to determine why? What led to this particular incident occurring?” Krantz said.
Brittany Young lives in a unit nearby.
“It was just a whole bunch of police cars coming nonstop. They had their guns drawn and they were banging down the door. I mean, it was just like something out of a movie,” Young said.
Another neighbor says she heard the gunshots and the community is heartbroken after learning about the tragedy.
“It is disturbing. My heart goes out to the families,” neighbor David McIntosh said.
While police say there was no history of violence between the victims and suspect, they were told about two unreported incidents of possible domestic violence by witnesses.

Is Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Institutional (VBTIX) a Strong Mutual Fund Pick Right Now?
Any investors who are searching for Mutual Fund Equity Report funds should take a look at Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Institutional (VBTIX). The fund does not have a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank, though we have been able to explore other metrics like performance, volatility, and cost.
History of Fund/Manager
Vanguard Group is based in Malvern, PA, and is the manager of VBTIX. Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Institutional debuted in September of 1995. Since then, VBTIX has accumulated assets of about $43.75 billion, according to the most recently available information. The fund's current manager, Joshua Barrickman, has been in charge of the fund since February of 2013.
Performance
Obviously, what investors are looking for in these funds is strong performance relative to their peers. This fund has delivered a 5-year annualized total return of 1.13%, and it sits in the middle third among its category peers. But if you are looking for a shorter time frame, it is also worth looking at its 3-year annualized total return of -0.1%, which places it in the middle third during this time-frame.
When looking at a fund's performance, it is also important to note the standard deviation of the returns. The lower the standard deviation, the less volatility the fund experiences. Over the past three years, VBTIX's standard deviation comes in at 4.67%, compared to the category average of 13.07%. Looking at the past 5 years, the fund's standard deviation is 4.03% compared to the category average of 11.44%. This makes the fund less volatile than its peers over the past half-decade.
Risk Factors
The fund has a 5-year beta of 1.03, so investors should note that it is hypothetically as volatile as the market at large. Another factor to consider is alpha, as it reflects a portfolio's performance on a risk-adjusted basis relative to a benchmark-in this case, the S&P 500. With a negative alpha of -0.05, managers in this portfolio find it difficult to pick securities that generate better-than-benchmark returns.
Expenses
For investors, taking a closer look at cost-related metrics is key, since costs are increasingly important for mutual fund investing. Competition is heating up in this space, and a lower cost product will likely outperform its otherwise identical counterpart, all things being equal. In terms of fees, VBTIX is a no load fund. It has an expense ratio of 0.04% compared to the category average of 0.78%. VBTIX is actually cheaper than its peers when you consider factors like cost.
Investors need to be aware that with this product, the minimum initial investment is $5 million; each subsequent investment needs to be at least $1.
Bottom Line
Don't stop here for your research on Mutual Fund Equity Report funds. We also have plenty more on our site in order to help you find the best possible fund for your portfolio. Make sure to check out www.zacks.com/funds/mutual-funds for more information about the world of funds, and feel free to compare VBTIX to its peers as well for additional information.

Those looking for a sign of summer’s approach may appreciate Wednesday’s warmer and drier weather in what should be Portland’s warmest day of the week.
The National Weather Service says some high clouds have helped overnight temps stay in the upper 40s. Those high clouds have also helped create a spectacular sunrise in some areas. A dry southwest flow and increasing high pressure should bring northwest Oregon and southwest Washington a mostly sunny day with temperatures moving into the low-to-mid 70s. Portland is likely to hit about 74 degrees.
This pattern doesn’t last long as the forecast is trending toward cooler and wetter from Thursday through the weekend. If you have outdoor projects that need doing, Wednesday is the day to do them.
The next system lining up to move into northwest Oregon will move in this evening along the coast. An upper level trough reaches southward from the Gulf of Alaska and will strengthen and slide toward the West Coast over the next 24-48 hours. Coastal areas could see light rain or sprinkles as early as Thursday morning. Portland should see a dry morning, but showers are likely later in the day. The high will be near 71 degrees.
Widespread showers are in the forecast Friday, mostly after about the lunch hour. Skies will be mostly cloudy, and the high temperature will sink down into the 60s. There’s some chance of thunderstorms later in the day, especially along the central portion of the Cascades.
Current long-range forecasts are showing continued chances of rain Saturday and Sunday with high temps staying in the low-to-mid 60s. | https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/2022/06/wednesday-is-portlands-warmest-day-this-week-with-plenty-of-sun-highs-in-the-70s.html | 2022-06-15T13:39:08Z | https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/2022/06/wednesday-is-portlands-warmest-day-this-week-with-plenty-of-sun-highs-in-the-70s.html | true | 1 |
The Seattle Seahawks got a glimpse of what their team looked like with Russell Wilson not under center and they finished 7-10 and in last place of the NFC West. They must have liked how it looked because they traded Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a trade package that included quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive end Shelby Harris, and draft picks.
Seattle decided not to address quarterback through free agency, another trade or the 2022 NFL Draft. At the time of this writing, they are gearing up to go into the 2022 season with Geno Smith and Drew Lock as the top quarterbacks on their depth chart. The Seahawks claim to be avoiding a rebuild, but it looks like they are headed right for one.
2022 Seahawks schedule with odds
Seahawks schedule/odds
Why the Seahawks will go over their win total
The only reason Seattle will win at least six games would be because it is such a low win total. They play the Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers and the New York Jets. If they win all of them that is five wins and they would need to find another win against a tough opponent to try and get to six. If they win all five of those games, they may be able to luck their way into a sixth for a 6-11 record, but a win on the over of this bet.
Why the Seahawks will go under their win total
It won’t take long for Wilson to have his revenge game against Seattle as the Seahawks will take on the Broncos in Week 1. The schedule doesn’t get much easier with six combined games against the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams. Throw in games against the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs and it is hard to confidently find six wins in their schedule.
Prediction: Under 5.5 wins
The NFC West was one of the toughest divisions in football last year and it looks like they will again. Geno Smith had to play in four games last season and the Seahawks only won the final game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That isn’t much to hang your hat on and even the presence of Metcalf and Lockett won’t be able to keep this team competitive.

Kaieteur News – Versatile all-rounder Chien Gittens struck an impressive, unbeaten hundred (101*) last Saturday in one of the fifth-round matches in the 2022 Ontario Softball Cricket League (OSCL) Regular Season 20-overs competition.
Representing Canadian Legends, the right-handed Gittens cleared the boundary on ten occasions while he reached it five times as Canadian Legends reached a daunting 215-2 from the 20-overs against Essequibo Coast Cricket Club.
When Essequibo Coast CC batted at Ashtonbee Park, they only responded with 89 from 18 overs.
Another hard-hitting batsman Morrison Edwards made 34 to support the rampant Gittens while opener Mike Kadir chipped in with 29. Essequibian Kenny Ramsawak grabbed two for 25 from four overs.
In Essequibo Coast Cricket Club’s innings, skipper Nicolas Sanichara put up a fight with 26.
Gittens returned with the ball to complement a brilliant all-round performance by capturing two wickets for four runs from three frugal overs, while former Guyana under-19 and Canada player Shiv Seeram also with two wickets conceding two runs from two overs.
Meanwhile, Gittens stated that he was happy to make a big impression in his second season in North America and would aim for more success.
Over the years, Gittens represented various teams in both Guyana and Canada, while he featured in USA as well.

SRINAGAR, India: Indian forces in Kashmir killed two militants on Wednesday, one them suspected of gunning down a bank manager this month, police said, part of a stepped-up counter-insurgency effort that has triggered an exodus from the Muslim-majority region.
India has been fighting an Islamist separatist insurgency in Kashmir since the late 1980s. Muslim Pakistan also claims the region over which the nuclear-armed neighbors have fought two of their three wars.
“Indian troops killed two militants this morning in a gunbattle, one of them, Jan Mohammad Lone, was involved in the killing of a bank manager,” said Vijay Kumar, the police chief of Kashmir.
Militants entered a branch of the Ellaquai Dehati Bank in Kulgam town this month and killed the manager, who came from the desert state of Rajasthan, and had only been posted to the branch four days earlier.
A little-known militant group called the Kashmir Freedom Fighters claimed responsibility for the attack, warning outsiders not to settle in the Kashmir Valley.
At least 16 people — both Hindu and Muslims — have been killed in targeted attacks in Kashmir this year.
Kumar said troops were tracking militants and had killed eight involved in killings in recent weeks.
At least 104 militants have been killed in Kashmir this year, double the toll in the same period last year, he said.
India and Pakistan rule different parts of the divided Himalayan region.
India accuses Pakistan of backing the militants fighting but Pakistan denies, that saying it only offers political support to fellow Muslims who Pakistan says are being suppressed by Indian security forces.
India rejects Pakistani accusations of rights abuses in Kashmir.
Rattled by the killings, scores of Hindu families, including some from the minority Kashmiri Pandit community, have been fleeing Kashmir in recent days.
The region’s top government official, Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha, has tried to assure Kashmiri Pandits of measures for their security.
As part of the crackdown, the government ordered 300 schools affiliated with the banned Jamat-e-Islami group to shut on Tuesday, telling pupils to report to government schools.

Kaieteur News – A dredge owner was on Monday killed after one of the walls of a mining pit collapsed and buried him at Micobie Backdam, Region Eight.
He has been identified as 64-year-old Donald Gouveia, also called Danny of Surbryanville, Georgetown.
According to police, the pit which measures some 70 feet deep collapsed around 12:00hrs.
Gouveia and his workmen were working in the pit when the tragic incident occurred.
Investigators learnt that the dredge owner was at the time operating as a “jet man” (a worker who controls a high-pressure hose to cut and wash the land), when the western side of the pit began to cave in.
As the land fell, he and his workers started running for safety. While some made it to safety, others were partially covered but Gouveia was not so lucky.
Those who made it to safety assisted their colleagues out of the thick mud but when they found Gouveia, he was unconscious.
They immediately rushed him to the Micobie Health Centre. The health centre referred him to the Madhia District Hospital but when he arrived there, a doctor pronounced him dead.
His remains have since been flown out to the city.
Many have since expressed their disbelief at the tragic news, especially those he did business with.
One individual via Facebook stated, “I had only seen him last week at the store, so sad, I cannot believe this.”

BOSTON, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its mission to expand diversity and inclusion in clinical research, Alcanza Clinical Research announces a new program to provide funding and mentorship to support African American individuals pursuing clinical research careers. This program is also designed to drive broader representation in the workforce.
Alcanza's first effort, in recognition of Juneteenth 2022, is a partnership with Clinical Research Fastrack that will provide full scholarship funding to enable an African American student to attend the Clinical Research Fastrack Bootcamp Training Program, a highly intensive, accelerated course that prepares new professionals for the field of clinical research.
"Demand for talent in clinical research has never been greater, but the entry-level qualification is often a barrier to entry for many promising new graduates or those ready for a career change, especially communities of color," said Carlos Orantes, Chief Executive Officer of Alcanza. "Our investment in initiatives such as Fastrack aim to help diverse workers achieve their full career potential, while helping the clinical research industry build a talent pipeline that meets the changing needs of research."
As a trusted education provider for hundreds of the top research sites, Clinical Research Fastrack graduates have a significant likelihood of receiving job opportunities at research sites and sponsors as well as contract and academic research organizations. In addition to foundational instruction, the recipient will also receive mentorship opportunities from Alcanza's network of clinical research professionals and Clinical Research Fastrack Directors.
"This partnership is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of clinical research," said David Silberman, CEO and Founder of Clinical Research Fastrack. "Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are essential to the development of new medicines, but the efforts need to start in the workforce. It's critical to have diversity among research professionals to build trusting relationships and promote wider research participation."
"Juneteeth takes on new relevance with the rising recognition of health inequity and the state of clinical trial diversity. We want to address this issue head-on, with investments and support of more diverse participation in clinical trials from underrepresented communities," said Orantes.
Alcanza Clinical Research is the next-generation site network established to support the most significant demands in our industry: diverse patient access, efficient enrollment performance, and clinical quality. It practices inclusive research that delivers education and a range of clinical trial opportunities to all people on their terms. Located in Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, Alcanza specializes in conditions across psychiatry, neurology, dermatology and infectious disease therapeutic areas.
Clinical Research Fastrack trains aspiring Clinical Research professionals and connects them with leading research organizations to elevate the efficacy of clinical trials. Ultimately, qualified clinical researchers lead to new and better treatments for debilitating conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic respiratory diseases, tumors, septicemia, liver disease, Parkinson's, obesity, arthritis, and so many more.

SAN DIEGO, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTRA) ("Kintara" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new solid tumor cancer therapies, today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation (FTD) to Kintara's VAL-083 for the treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed unmethylated glioblastoma (GBM).
Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Some of the significant benefits of FTD include:
- Enhanced access to the FDA, including opportunities for more frequent meetings and written consultation throughout the remaining development of VAL-083.
- Drugs with FTD are eligible to apply for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review at the time of a New Drug Application (NDA) submission, which may result in faster product approval.
- FTD also allows for 'rolling review', whereby Kintara may submit completed sections of the VAL-083 NDA as they become available, rather than at the end of development.
"We believe Fast Track Designation is indicative of VAL-083's potential to improve outcomes for patients with GBM, the most aggressive form of brain cancer," stated Robert E. Hoffman, President and CEO of Kintara. "We look forward to announcing top-line data from the international registrational phase 2/3 GBM AGILE Study around the end of calendar year 2023. Fast Track Designation allows us to work closely with the FDA and may expedite our commercial launch of VAL-083, if approved."
Located in San Diego, California, Kintara is dedicated to the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. Kintara is developing two late-stage, Phase 3-ready therapeutics for clear unmet medical needs with reduced risk development programs. The two programs are VAL-083 for GBM and REM-001 for Cutaneous Metastatic Breast Cancer (CMBC).
VAL-083 is a "first-in-class", small-molecule chemotherapeutic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers, including central nervous system, ovarian and other solid tumors (e.g., NSCLC, bladder cancer, head and neck) in U.S. clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Based on Kintara's internal research programs and these prior NCI-sponsored clinical studies, Kintara is currently advancing VAL-083 in the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research registrational phase 2/3 clinical trial titled Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment (GBM AGILE) Study to support the development and commercialization of VAL-083 in GBM.
Kintara is also advancing its proprietary, late-stage photodynamic therapy platform that holds promise as a localized cutaneous, or visceral, tumor treatment as well as in other potential indications. REM-001 therapy has been previously studied in four Phase 2/3 clinical trials in patients with CMBC who had previously received chemotherapy and/or failed radiation therapy. With clinical efficacy to date of 80% complete responses of CMBC evaluable lesions, and with an existing robust safety database of approximately 1,100 patients across multiple indications, Kintara is advancing the REM-001 CMBC program to late-stage pivotal testing.

Any statements contained in this press release that do not describe historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the impact of Fast Track Designation and the status of the Company's clinical trials and the GBM AGILE study. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and clinical trials; the Company's ability to develop, market and sell products based on its technology; the expected benefits and efficacy of the Company's products and technology; the availability of substantial additional funding for the Company to continue its operations and to conduct research and development, clinical studies and future product commercialization; and, the Company's business, research, product development, regulatory approval, marketing and distribution plans and strategies. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in the Company's filings with the SEC, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Matterkind uses DeepIntent Outcomes' patented technology to improve audience quality and script performance
NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DeepIntent, the leading healthcare advertising technology company built to influence better patient health and business outcomes, announced the significant adoption of its patented, award-winning advertising campaign measurement and optimization technology, DeepIntent Outcomes™. Since its launch in April 2021, DeepIntent Outcomes has been used to automatically optimize media based on real-world clinical data for 85 leading pharmaceutical brands, with over 50 brands benefiting from DeepIntent Outcomes year to date.
Additionally, nearly two-thirds (65%) of all impressions served today via DeepIntent's demand side platform (DSP) are optimized toward higher audience quality and prescription (script) performance, meeting healthcare marketers' demand for technology that can deliver quantifiable results.
To prove business impact, IPG's activation intelligence company, Matterkind, turned to DeepIntent Outcomes to maximize a client's addressable media investment as measured by script volume and new-to-brand (NBRx) scripts. As the agency of record for the provider and patient sides of the business, Matterkind used script optimization and a mix of connected TV (CTV), online video, and display ads to reach audiences.
Using Outcomes to automatically optimize the campaign, Matterkind saw prescribing rates from healthcare providers increase by 10% after campaign exposure, and patients were 225% more likely to follow through in filling their prescriptions. Ultimately, the campaign grew NBRx by 12X while reducing the cost-per-script by 60%. In addition, channel analysis found that CTV ads were twice as effective as other channels in driving script performance.
"With DeepIntent Outcomes, Matterkind goes beyond front-end metrics like views and completion rates and quantifies the real-world impact of our campaigns. More importantly, we can measure how our results improve over time across channels as the platform optimizes the campaign toward goals we set," said Adam Thomas, vice president of addressable strategy at Matterkind. "By analyzing our recent data, we can see that CTV ads help generate top-of-funnel awareness and helps patients make informed decisions so they follow through with filling prescriptions from their providers."
The complete Matterkind case study is available here.
With a patent awarded for DeepIntent Outcomes in July 2021, DeepIntent is the only healthcare DSP able to link real-world clinical data with impression data to algorithmically optimize live campaigns toward audience quality and script performance metrics. In addition, this same technology has made DeepIntent the first and only DSP to guarantee the number of verified patients that it can reach across CTV, display, and digital video for a given campaign.
"Exclusive, powerful innovations like DeepIntent Outcomes are why advertisers have flocked to DeepIntent. Thanks to our unparalleled measurement and optimization capabilities, DeepIntent has become the DSP of choice for healthcare marketers. DeepIntent Outcomes serves as the currency on which pharma media is transacted," said DeepIntent CEO Chris Paquette.
DeepIntent Outcomes has been recognized with numerous awards since its launch a year ago, including being named one of the most innovative products of 2021 and, more recently, as a SIIA CODiE Award finalist for the best healthcare technology solution.

DeepIntent is leading the healthcare advertising industry with data-driven solutions built for the future. Built purposefully for healthcare marketers, DeepIntent's platform is proven to drive higher audience quality and script performance. It enables marketers to plan, activate, measure, and optimize their campaigns all within a single platform.

Downton Abbey has been a true ensemble drama throughout its six seasons on television and two subsequent feature films. Fifteen cast members who appear in the new film, Downton Abbey — A New Era have been with the show since its very first season, while another 13 actors appearing in the film were there for at least part of its TV run. That kind of consistency — both on and behind the cameras — has made the show an extremely pleasant experience for all involved, according to star Hugh Bonneville, who told us the existence of the two films is a testament to the whole team’s love for one another.

Steps to crate train a puppy
Every puppy is different, so the way you crate train them will vary based on their age, temperament and preferences. It can take a few weeks to several months to fully crate train a puppy. And, though it does take persistence and a bit of patience, the benefits of crate training are worth it in the end. If you’re ready to get started, here’s the best way to crate train your new puppy.
Choosing the right crate
Before starting crate training a puppy, you need to choose the right crate. Here are the main types of crates.
Collapsible crate
Collapsible dog crates are often made from soft materials, making them ideal for travel and overnight use. They’re also easy to move around or store when not needed.
Plastic crate
These crates are mostly for travel or flying. They often have dishes for food and water that attach to the crate door for easy use. If you’re trying to crate train a puppy in preparation for a long trip, this crate may be the best option since the puppy will get used to it early on.
Fabric crate
These may be collapsible or not. They usually have softer sides. The benefit of this is that they’re usually easier to move and can be less expensive than rigid crates. However, a determined puppy can scratch or tear up the sides with its teeth or claws.
Adjustable crate
These crates can be adjusted to fit the size of your puppy as it grows. This makes them convenient for those who only want to get one crate that lasts a long time. Adjustable crates are often more expensive, though.
Choose a crate that your puppy can comfortably stand up in, move around, completely turn and sleep in. If it’s too small, it could cause the puppy’s joints to cramp up or result in other injuries.
How to crate train a new puppy
Here’s the easiest way to crate train a puppy.
Step 1: Introduce the crate
Start slowly by placing an open crate in the same room as your puppy. Place a soft cushion and a couple of pee pads inside the crate. Then, give the puppy time to sniff it and get used to it being there. If you’re lucky, the puppy may go inside on its own and lay down or sleep.
Step 2: Create a positive association
Whether your puppy likes the crate or not, the next step is to build some positive associations. You can do this by adding some of the puppy’s favorite treats to the inside of the crate or giving it praise and pets when it goes inside. Always reward the puppy whenever it does enter the crate.
Step 3: Add food and water
The crate you use for training should be large enough to accommodate food and water dishes. Once the puppy is comfortable enough to go inside the crate on its own, put a small bowl of food and another one for water into the crate. Start by placing the bowls near the entrance of the crate. Make sure the entrance to the crate is completely open, as this can help more nervous puppies feel comfortable being near or inside it.
As the puppy starts to get used to eating and drinking inside the crate, push the bowls a little further back each day. Eventually, you’ll get to the point where the puppy needs to go all the way inside the crate to eat or drink.
Step 4: Close the crate door
Once your puppy is used to laying down inside the crate and eating or drinking in it, it’s time to close the crate door. Start with five or 10-minute intervals. Let them out if the puppy becomes upset and starts to whine or scratch heavily at the crate. Also, reduce the time the door is closed in the future.
Repeat this for a week or even up to a month. In many cases, puppies will get used to the crate within the first couple of days. But if that’s not the case with yours, it’s better to be patient and take your time training the puppy to use the crate than it is to stress them out unnecessarily.
Step 5: Walk away
As you increase the puppy’s time in the crate, it’s time to start changing the routine. Once the puppy is comfortably in the crate, go to another room for 10 or 15-minute intervals. Then, return to the crate and sit beside it without speaking or acknowledging the puppy. Do this a few times each day for longer and longer periods.
If your puppy is doing well at this stage, start leaving the house for 15 to 25 minutes at a time. That way, the puppy won’t be able to smell, hear or see you. At this point, you may want to add a puppy cam to monitor your pet and make sure it’s doing okay. If your puppy is still a little anxious, put a few of its favorite toys or a used shirt in the crate with it.
Step 6: Teach commands
This part isn’t required, but it can make crate training easier for some people. Teach your puppy a command that tells it to go to the crate. This could be something like “crate” or “bed.” It could also be a certain gesture you make. Whatever it is, reward your puppy with praise or treats every time it follows the command correctly.
Step 7: Change the routine
Dogs are smart creatures, so there’s a good chance your puppy will start to associate being in the crate with certain times of the day. So, if you want to train the puppy fully, it’s a good idea to change up when you leave them in the crate.
Step 8: Overnight training
One of the advantages of crate training a puppy is that it also helps with general house training. After all, puppies don’t like to soil the same area they eat or sleep.
If you need to leave your puppy in the crate for long periods, say overnight or while you’re at work, place the crate near your bed or out in the hall. Make sure the crate is close enough to where you sleep so that you can hear the puppy if it really needs to go out to the bathroom.
Common crate training problems and solutions
Here are a few of the most common issues with crate training.
- Some dogs, especially new puppies and older dogs, experience separation anxiety when left alone too long. If they’re in a hard-sided crate, they may end up hurting themselves to escape. Use a soft crate to prevent this. Also, use some calming dog products to help overly anxious dogs calm down.
- Many people don’t like hearing their puppy whine or scratch at the crate. So, they often end up comforting the puppy through the crate or even letting it out. This makes crate training much take longer than it needs to. Unless your puppy is extremely upset, ignore them until they calm down. Once they calm down and the time has passed, reward them for good behavior.
- Some owners make a big deal over leaving their puppy in a crate, even if it’s only for a few minutes. This can make the puppy more upset or view being in the crate negatively. Avoid this by leaving in a very calm, direct manner.

RIYADH: French companies are keen on investing in Saudi Arabia's water sector, according to the French Ambassador to the Kingdom, Ludovic Pouille.
Speaking to Arab News on the sidelines of a forum titled “Saudi-French strategic partnership for a better sustainable development in water and waste management,” Pouille said the event will help reinforce his country's relationship with the Kingdom.
The forum was organized by Business France and the French Embassy in collaboration with the Kingdom’s Saline Water Conversion Corp., the Saudi Water Partnership Co., the National Water Co. and the Saudi Investment Recycling Co.
The French envoy described the forum as a “great opportunity” for the French companies to discover more about the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
Business France is a French government agency created in January 2015 through a merger between UBIFRANCE and the French Agency for International Investment.
Speaking to Arab News, Pouille said: “This initiative by Business France is welcome, because historically France has been a very important strategic partner of Saudi Arabia in the water sector.
“Today, we want to bring new companies, especially SMEs, who could bring innovations, (and) their expertise, in very specific areas in water, water treatment, waste management.
“I am very happy to see that we have almost 15 French companies as part of this delegation, most of them discovering Saudi Arabia for the first time.
“We have all the stakeholders of the Saudi institutions in the water sector present here. This is a great opportunity for the French companies to discover more about Saudi Vision 2030.”
We are able to connect the French companies to Saudi partners in all new fields and sectors of Vision 2030 and to accompany the diversification of the Saudi economy.
French Ambassador Ludovic Pouille
He added: “This country will host, in the next 10 years, the largest projects in water in the world. Since French expertise is well known all over the world, it’s very important to be here now, and to be part of these projects.”
Pouille said that water is the key to development, adding: “We have to sustain water to bring water in a greener way, in a smarter way, and faster way, and the French companies are here to say, yes, we can help you and want to be part of this journey.
“They are well known all over the world. Some of them have already worked here with big French companies like Veolia, EGIS, Suez, Pam Saint Gobain. And today, what we want is the world ecosystem of startups, SMEs in this sector to be part of this partnership.”
The envoy, who opened the forum with the SWCC governor, said: “I am very glad to have opened the Saudi-French strategic partnership forum for a green and sustainable development under the Vision 2030 together with SWCC Gov. Abdullah Ibrahim Alabdulkarim.”
He said that this event is one of many that Business France and the French Embassy will bring to the Kingdom in the coming months.
These will include delegations from the health and fintech sectors — with representatives of 30 companies in the field of entertainment having already visited earlier this year.
“So all this to say that we are able to connect the French companies to Saudi partners in all new fields and sectors of Vision 2030 and to accompany the diversification of the Saudi economy, not only by bringing products, but local content to bring Saudization, we bring our main transfer of know-how training formation,” said the envoy, adding: “We are here as partners to invest in Saudi Arabia.”
The SWCC governor said: “We intend to find a way for new solutions with mutual benefits for all parties. In this win-win situation, we can build strategic partnerships for sustainable development in water and waste management.
“We are not here to find a commercial deal, but rather how we can see the affairs of research technology and what we need from the market.”
Saudi Arabia has been increasing its investment in the clean energy, power, and water sector and aims to increase the desalination capacity to 7.5 million cubic meters of water per day by 2027. | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2103901/business-economy | 2022-06-15T13:51:04Z | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2103901/business-economy | false | 1 |
