The Wednesday episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Akshara making it clear that she will never support Harsh. She further tells him that she will do whatever she thinks is best for Manjari. Akshara also warns Harsh saying he will regret whatever he has been doing and therefore he must make things right before it’s too late.
The next day, Abhimanyu is looking for something when Akshara too wakes up and tries to patch things up with him. They hug each other but soon notice the divorce papers. The couple then realises that they are not supporting each other. At the same time, Harsh calls Manjari for some tea but remembers what had happened the previous day. However, he is left shocked when he notices that Neil brings a cup of tea for him.
Later, when Manjari wakes up, she finds Harsh sitting near the bed. He gives her a glass of water and asks her to drink it. Harsh then asks Manjari to talk to Abhimanyu regarding him being adamant about their divorce. He tells her that people will make fun of them if they part ways at this stage of their lives. Harsh does not request but commands Manjari to explain things to Abhimanyu and to persuade him.
Akshara overhears all this and gives an angry look to Harsh. She then meets Manjari and tried to cheer her up. She informs her about a music concert and requests her to accompany her for the same. Abhimanyu too comes there and tells Manjari that hope she knows whatever he will do will be good for her and the family.
After a while, Akshara tries to comfort Manjari and brings her to the hall. She is surprised to see everyone gathered there and asks Abhimanyu what happened. To her surprise, a lawyer was sitting there and Abhimanyu gives some papers to Manjari to sign. Akshara asks Abhimanyu about what he has been doing and tells him that he needs to calm down. Other members of the family also request Abhimanyu not to make decisions in haste. However, he asks Manjari to sign papers. Manjari then takes the pen but throws the papers and tells them that she can’t divorce her husband. She breaks down saying she cannot leave her family.
In the upcoming episode, we will see that Akshara tries to talk to Abhimanyu and patch things up. However, he remains adamant to get Manjari and Harsh separated. To this, Akshara tells him that he is behaving like his father.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – A North Florida seven-year-old is recovering at home, after being bitten by a venomous snake in his backyard.
Elijah Bustamante spent four days in the intensive care unit and is still unable to walk, after he was bit by a snake earlier this month.
“I was in the backyard playing and I was going to pick up a rock and the snake jumped out and bit me,” said Elijah Bustamante.
Elijah was rushed to the hospital with his leg severely swollen from the snake bite. Doctors gave him seven rounds of anti-venom and placed him in ICU for four days. Doctors believe the snake that jumped out of the bush was a venomous water moccasin.
“He said like a dark grey with dark spots and a fat head,” said his mother, Sanita Bustamante.
Florida poison control spokesman Mike McCormick advises anyone who is bitten by a snake to call poison control and get medical help immediately. he also goes on to say what not to do.
“Please don’t ice where the snake has bitten. Please don’t try to capture the snake. If it’s safe to do so and you can get a picture. That’s okay but please don’t try to capture them. Please don’t try to cut the wound and suck the venom out,” said McCormick.
Elijah’s next step is relearning how to walk through physical therapy. In the meantime, his family is avoiding the backyard, because the snake was not trapped.
“My message would be you know just like when just when you think it’s not gonna happen. We’re good, it’s okay, it’s not gonna happen. It can happen. Definitely we’re in Florida, they’re all over just be mindful,” said, Sanita Bustamante.
Earlier this month, a Miramar man also suffered a venomous snake bite.
Doctors from Memorial Healthcare System say they see at least 1 or 2 of these kinds of bites every year and advise that sooner you get treatment, the better.

- Bourbon has exploded in popularity, but learning how to enjoy this high-proof liquor takes practice.
- Bourbon can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or in one of many cocktails.
- There's no wrong way to enjoy bourbon; since we all have different palates, preferences will vary.
When learning about bourbon, there are certain lines you hear over and over again. One is "there's no wrong way to drink bourbon." For the most part, that's true. However, after immersing myself in bourbon culture, including traveling the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and talking to experts ranging from master distillers to bar owners, I've learned that some ways of drinking bourbon are more accepted and will lead to a better testing experience than others.
Below, we will cover how to drink bourbon, including picking glassware, choosing your bourbon, tasting it, and what to consider mixing with it, from what ice to select to what cocktails to make.
Choosing your bourbon
"The best bourbon" is a matter of personal taste. We all have different palates. Price, age, and proof don't necessarily correlate with a better bourbon. Your best bet is to try a variety of styles and flavor profiles to see what you prefer.
Three of the experts I talked to — Fred Minnick, author of "Bourbon Curious;" Jeremy Johnson, bar owner at Meta in Louisville, Kentucky; and Henry Kwok, owner of Henry's Place bourbon bar in Okemos, Michigan — recommended Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond as a good versatile and affordable bourbon. It tied with Wild Turkey 101, a favorite of Johnson's, in a blind taste test I conducted with 11 bourbon lovers.
Maker's Mark is an excellent choice if you're looking for a wheated bourbon, where wheat is the predominant secondary grain instead of rye. Plus, it pairs well with various foods, according to Minnick.
Choosing your glassware
Glencairn glasses are the standard for bourbon tastings. Kwok likes that the unique shape helps you nose the bourbon, making it ideal for neat drinks. However, the small size doesn't work well if you want to add a giant ice cube. For that, Kwok recommends a Canadian Glencairn, holding twice the volume of a regular Glencairn, or rocks glasses. I use these whiskey glasses when drinking bourbon with ice. Kwok uses rocks glasses or martini glasses for bourbon cocktails in his bar.
How to taste bourbon
The taste of a bourbon is evaluated based on its nose (or aroma), palate (or flavors), and finish. Additionally, expert judges will look at the bourbon's color and "legs," the residue left on the sides of the glass after you swirl it around.
We're going to focus on assessing the taste. Whiskey tastings work best neat or with a splash of water. Water changes how a bourbon tastes, so consider trying it both with and without it to find what you like.
To assess the nose, swirl the bourbon around your glass, open your mouth, and put your nose close enough to the bourbon to smell it. Repeat this a few times. Freddie Johnson, a third-generation employee at Buffalo Trace Distillery who leads several tastings a day, pointed out that one nostril may pick up odors the other doesn't. So, make sure you use both as you nose the bourbon.
If the aroma overwhelms your nostrils, smell something else — coffee beans, your clothes, your arm — and try again. What does the aroma remind you of? Caramel, vanilla, baking spices, and oak are all common answers, but it all depends on your personal experience.
Next, take a big enough sip to coat your tongue but not much more. Notice what parts of your tongue are activated. Pay attention to what notes come through on the palate. They may be the same as the nose or entirely different. Mouthfeel is also important. Assess whether or not the bourbon burns your tongue or is smooth.
Lastly, the finish is how long the bourbon lingers and what flavors are present after swallowing it.
Ways to drink bourbon
The four primary ways to drink bourbon are neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, and in a cocktail. We cover each in depth below.
Neat
When you drink "neat " bourbon, you're pouring it at room temperature straight from the bottle, not adding anything: no water, no ice, nothing. I always try a new bourbon neat first. From there, I have a good idea of what I want to add. Or, you might just want to keep it undiluted. It's up to you.
If you take a sip and don't enjoy the taste of the bourbon, whether it burns or the alcohol flavor is overwhelming, you probably don't want to drink it neat. Instead, consider one of the following options.
On the rocks
"On the rocks" just means "with ice cubes," and is an ideal way to drink bourbon if you want a cold drink with some water dilution. Big ice cubes are great because they have less surface area. "It doesn't melt as fast," said Kwok. "It slowly melts and dilutes the drink." The slow dilution means the bourbon's flavor sticks around longer. Our best ice cube trays guide includes some excellent large cube options.
With a splash of water
"Cask strength" and "barrel proof" bourbons are the only varieties that haven't been "proofed down" with water. So, in a sense, the industry acknowledges that most bourbons taste better with a bit of water.
Adding water helps you recognize flavors you may not notice when your palate is overwhelmed with alcohol. Start with just a little water. At a tasting at Heaven Hill, the guide recommended starting with just two drops from a dropper and adding more until the flavors pop for you. It will take some tinkering.
In a cocktail
I'm not going to get into much detail about cocktails since we have an article covering 13 bourbon cocktail recipes, but some common bourbon-forward cocktails include Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and Mint Juleps. The experts I've talked to all recommend high-rye bourbons for cocktails. Jeremy Johnson uses Old Forester 100 in an Old Fashioned, the quintessential bourbon cocktail.
Here's a breakdown of the three most common bourbon cocktails and what you need to make them:
There's no wrong way to enjoy bourbon, but…
There's no wrong way to enjoy bourbon whiskey, but there are ways that are frowned upon. You won't see people doing bourbon shots. "The most insulting thing you can do to a friend or family member is shoot a bottle that they stood three days waiting in line for," said Freddie Johnson.
Bourbon isn't usually mixed with soda. However, when his father was going through chemotherapy and couldn't taste bourbon, Johnson added Diet Pepsi to it. Suddenly, his father could taste it. The soda appeared to neutralize the metallic taste caused by chemo. After that experience, Johnson no longer judged people who added soda to their bourbon.
There's another way that had a lasting impact on Jeremy Johnson (no relation). When he finally got his hands on Pappy Van Winkle, an incredibly rare bourbon, he made Jell-o shots. "I started getting death threats from people," said Johnson. So, use caution when making bourbon Jell-o shots.
Insider's takeaway
The best way to drink bourbon is however you enjoy it. It may take trial and error to determine which bourbons you like to neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. And, what works for you may not be ideal for others. Take your time drinking bourbon; enjoy the different flavors. And, of course, enjoy it responsibly.

The Cleveland Browns opened the 2022 mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
It was an action-packed day.
Here are some of the highlights by position group.
1. Wide Receivers
Donovan Peoples-Jones has been looking great.
Hopefully, the third year is the charm for DPJ as injuries and the Browns’ offensive woes in 2021 hampered him.

Rookie David Bell has hit the ground running.

— Matthew Dudek (@MatthewDudek5) June 15, 2022
Camryn Justice tweeted that he has not dropped a pass in the five practices she has seen.
I'm not saying it hasn't happened and I was just focused elsewhere when it did, but through the five open #Browns practices I personally have not seen David Bell drop a single pass—not in position drills, not in 7 on 7s, not in full team drills. Not one. It's wild.
— Camryn Justice (@camijustice) June 14, 2022
Hayden Grove agreed.
David Bell still hasn’t dropped a pass. All summer. #Browns
— Hayden Grove (@H_Grove) June 14, 2022
DPJ and Bell are competing for the WR2 position.
Here is another point of interest about the wide receivers.
Despite hearing this spring that Demetric Felton was going to be in the running backs room, he has spent more time with the wide receivers thus far.
#Browns scout Max Paulus said Demetric Felton will be in the running back room moving forward. Felton played mostly receiver as a rookie in 2021. Paulus said Jerome Ford will get work at kick returner
— Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) April 30, 2022
For those scoring at home, Demetric Felton continues spending most of his time with the receivers, including when he’s standing on the sideline between plays.

Allarity uses its drug-specific DRP® to select those patients who, by the genetic signature of their cancer, are found to have a high likelihood of responding to the specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high DRP® score, the therapeutic response rate can be significantly increased. The DRP® method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP® is based on messenger RNA from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has proven its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients in 37 out of 47 clinical studies that were examined (both retrospective and prospective), including ongoing, prospective Phase 2 trials of Stenoparib and IXEMPRA®. The DRP® platform, which can be used in all cancer types and is patented for more than 70 anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in peer reviewed literature.
About Allarity Therapeutics
Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALLR) develops drugs for personalized treatment of cancer guided by its proprietary and highly validated companion diagnostic technology, the DRP® platform.

Challenging conversations
Two groups join to move end-of-life issues onto the Jewish communal agenda
Two groups will be coming together – What Matters: Caring Conversations About End of Life, and the Shomer Collective.
Samantha Zellman/Shomer Collective
When it comes to the difficult conversations surrounding death and dying, Jewish tradition can offer wisdom and guidance. But such often-fraught discussions have at times been pushed out of view for people.
Now, the joining of two groups working on planning for medical treatment and other end-of-life issues — all through a Jewish lens — could thrust these topics into the Jewish public square in a new way. An event on Monday night on the rooftop of the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on the Upper West Side marked the coming together of two organizations – What Matters: Caring Conversations About End of Life, and the Shomer Collective. The two groups will join forces starting July 1, Rabbi Melanie Levav, Shomer Collective’s founding executive director, told eJewishPhilanthropy, with What Matters becoming a signature program of the Shomer Collective.
The event at the JCC drew about 60 people representing some of the city’s largest synagogues and Jewish organizations, who shared stories of how the programs have impacted their communities.
“Death is scary,” Levav told eJP. “It’s the one thing we can’t teach about from our own experience. There are so many unknowns… Too many people and families in our Jewish communities end up in crisis at the end of life because of our inability, hesitation [or] fear in talking about how we want to live in the face of mortality,” she said. “Shomer’s work in culture change aims to bring the conversation about death and dying back into the Jewish communal square, to reduce the fear by making conversations about mortality part of everyday living.”
Both organizations focus on applying Jewish wisdom to improving end-of-life experiences. What Matters, founded in 2015 as an initiative of the Manhattan JCC, enables individuals to engage in advance care planning —or planning for medical care decisions in the event that the person in question can’t make their own decisions — infused with Jewish wisdom. It asks people to think about, plan for and take steps to ensure that when the time comes, their end-of-life wishes will be respected and honored. Shomer Collective, a startup founded by members of the Natan Fund, launched in 2020 with a mission to improve end-of-life experiences for individuals and their families, inspired by Jewish wisdom, values and practices, by curating content and resources and building a diverse network of organizational partners.
What Matters mostly serves members or clients of 20 sites in New York City, and the integration with Shomer Collective will make it accessible to individuals and communities across the country. Shomer Collective will also adapt the program for online access, with a particular focus on people who are unaffiliated with Jewish institutions. What Matters will offer individual and group advance care planning conversations; training and certification of facilitators; and support to bring What Matters to new organizations and communities. The partnership will expand Shomer Collective’s growing menu of end-of-life services and resources direct to individuals, as well as through partnerships with Jewish organizations in communities throughout the U.S.
“The recognition of our mortality is built into our daily liturgy, into the conversations of the rabbis of the Talmud; it’s there if we’re willing to look for it for the wisdom it can bring to help quell the fears,” said Levav, who previously served as the director of PJ Library in New York, the Jewish children’s book program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. “In the last hundred years or so, we’ve pushed death and dying out of our view, as the developments of long-term care and increase in hospitalizations and advances in healthcare have removed the experience of being with the dying from within our homes and communities. Shomer’s work will bring the conversation back into Jewish communal settings to help people recognize the value of talking about death and dying while we’re well, to live lives of greater meaning and connection.”
Levav became interested in this work after helping her in-laws, both of whom were Holocaust survivors, toward the ends of their lives; she said that they “had expressed their wishes ‘early and often’ for their end of life to their only child,” and that through her experience as a social worker and Jewish educator, she “saw too many families end up in crisis because they didn’t know how to talk about/were afraid to talk about death and dying.” During her rabbinic training at JTS, Levav trained as a chaplain focused on end-of-life and serious illness in the Center for Pastoral Education, and now is a board-certified chaplain through Neshama: The National Association of Jewish Chaplains. Conversations with her friend Felicia Herman, then the executive director at Natan, about these issues led them to start conversations around losses suffered by friends and Natan members. Natan engaged Levav as a consultant to help Herman develop Natan Lab: End of Life, a yearlong course of study for Natan members that led to the creation of Shomer, Levav said.
Shomer’s work is focused on “liminal moments,” the times when people are more open to thinking about end-of-life issues. “In the advance care planning world, which is where What Matters started, this is often referred to as the 5 Ds: death (of someone close to you), divorce, decade (reaching a new one), diagnosis (of a serious illness), decline (in your health or someone close to you.) We focused on reaching people at these stages in life, regardless of specific age,” Levav said. The COVID-19 pandemic, she added, amplified the immediate need for such a project, bringing death and dying to the front of mind for countless numbers of people who had heretofore avoided the subject.
Levav says that Shomer Collective functions as “a concierge, a curator, a convenor and change agent.” Among its offerings are educational Zoom sessions to empower people with the knowledge and Jewish wisdom to make their own choices regarding funeral planning, medical decision-making and alternative burial technology. One program explored Yom Kippur as “a dress rehearsal for death and an opportunity to contemplate life,” while another created space for grief in partnership with the Bay Area’s Jewish Studio Project on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The organization also publishes writing on relevant topics, encouraging multigenerational conversations around end-of-life issues.
What Matters also trains and certifies volunteer advance care planning facilitators, educates local communities and develops resources like Sage Voices, a repository of videos by rabbis and educators on Jewish topics related to end-of-life, produced in partnership with the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Conservative institution.
“Contemplating one’s own end-of-life and experiencing the death of someone close are underappreciated on-ramps to Jewish education and engagement for people of all ages,” Levav said in a statement. | https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/two-groups-join-together-to-move-end-of-life-issues-onto-the-jewish-communal-agenda/ | 2022-06-15T14:05:29Z | https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/two-groups-join-together-to-move-end-of-life-issues-onto-the-jewish-communal-agenda/ | true | 1 |

Genny Beemyn, UMass Amherst
(THE CONVERSATION) In Tennessee, a proposed law would let public school teachers refuse to call transgender students by the pronouns they use for themselves.
At Shawnee State University – a public university in Ohio – a professor got paid US$400,000 to settle a lawsuit that he filed against the school after being disciplined for refusing to refer to a trans woman student as “she” or “her.”
In Loudoun County, Virginia, a public school teacher was suspended for objecting to the use of trans students’ pronouns, but the state’s Supreme Court ordered his reinstatement while the case was pending. As in the Shawnee State professor case, the school district chose to settle. It also agreed to remove the disciplinary action from the teacher’s file.
As a researcher who focuses on the experiences of trans college students, I see all three cases as part of a disquieting trend: The right of trans students to be free from discrimination is tenuous at best and under constant legal attack.
In many ways, the legal attacks are coordinated. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal group, is behind much of the anti-trans legislation in the U.S. The organization represented the Shawnee State professor and the Virginia schoolteacher in their lawsuits. It is also backing other teachers in similar lawsuits.
At greater risk
For people on the sidelines, legal fights over the rights of trans students may seem like just one of several contemporary cultural battles or polarizing political debates. But for trans students, the right to be respected and recognized the way they see themselves is a matter of quality of life and – in some cases – a matter of life and death.
Research has consistently shown that trans youths have higher rates of mental health challenges – including depression, anxiety and risk of suicide – than their nontrans peers. This is because of the stress they experience as a result of prejudice and discrimination.
A 2021 survey by the Trevor Project – a nonprofit organization that conducts suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ young people – provides additional insight. It found that if trans and nonbinary youths had been discriminated against in the past year because of their gender identity, they were twice as likely to attempt suicide as those who did not report discrimination.
The survey also indicated that the more a young person’s pronouns were not respected, the greater the suicide risk.
Thus, regardless of what state or federal law or the courts may say about whether educators must refer to students by the pronouns they use for themselves, there is strong evidence that doing so – or not – can drastically affect students’ mental health.
Recognition and rights
At the same time, many K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, states and the federal government do enable trans students to be recognized the way they see themselves.
For example, at the college level, I have found that more than 200 colleges and universities enable students to indicate their pronouns in the schools’ student information systems. This includes the state university systems in Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin. Students’ pronouns then appear on course rosters and sometimes on other administrative records. At the University of Minnesota, the policy states that university members are “expected to use the names, gender identities, and pronouns specified to them by other University members, except as legally required.”
At the state level, 19 states have guidelines for trans inclusion in K-12 public schools. These policies call for trans students to be referred to by the pronouns they use for themselves. For example, the Massachusetts policy states that “school personnel should use the student’s chosen name and pronouns appropriate to a student’s gender identity, regardless of the student’s assigned birth sex.” However, none of the policies I have seen actually spells out what will happen if a teacher or professor refuses to respect a trans person’s pronouns.
Political shifts
The status of trans student rights is subject to change based on which party is in the White House, controls state legislatures and appoints judges to state and federal courts.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, for instance, is seeking to challenge a Virginia law – passed after Democrats gained control of the Virginia General Assembly in 2020 – that requires state school boards to protect the rights of trans students, including allowing students to “assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity.”
The legal status of rights for trans students is constantly changing at the federal level, as shown by how the current and previous two administrations have interpreted Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. This is the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding.
The Obama administration considered anti-trans discrimination to fall under the definition of “sex” in Title IX. For that reason, the Obama administration issued guidance in 2016 for schools to protect the rights of trans students. A central provision of this guidance was that “a school must treat students consistent with their gender identity.” This included using the pronouns that students indicate for their identity.
The Trump administration, however, rescinded the guidance soon after taking office in 2017. The Trump administration argued that the law’s use of “sex discrimination” was limited to discrimination based on “biological sex,” not gender identity.
Then, at the start of his administration in 2021, President Joe Biden restored the previous understanding of Title IX through an executive order. It stated that trans people were covered under the prohibition of sex discrimination in Title IX and other federal laws.
A matter of equal protection
The Biden administration rooted its argument on the equal protection clause of the Constitution. It also based its position on a 2020 Supreme Court decision that involved anti-LGBT job discrimination.
That Supreme Court ruling is Bostock v. Clayton County. It held that the ban on “sex discrimination” in federal employment law – known as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – applied to discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.
The Biden administration contends that if “sex discrimination” in one federal law includes anti-LGBT discrimination, then all federal laws with similar language must be interpreted the same way. From this standpoint, discrimination against trans students, which includes not respecting how they identify their gender, is a violation of Title IX. Violations of Title IX could lead to a loss of federal funding.
Based on all the political shifts, proposed laws and lawsuits about whether educators must refer to trans students by the pronouns of their choice, it is clear the issue will be a matter of legal controversy for the foreseeable future. A key question is how much harm trans students must endure while society debates whether they have the legal right to be recognized by the pronouns they use for themselves.

The actress said "absolutely" when Gutherie asked her if, after everything, as she said in court during their defamation trial, she "still has love" for Depp.
"I love him. I loved him with all my heart," Heard said. "And I tried the best I could to make a deeply broken relationship work and I couldn't."
"I have no bad feelings or ill will towards him at all," she added. "I know that might be hard to understand or it might be really easy to understand if you've just ever loved anyone."
In part one of the interview which aired Tuesday, Heard said she believed "the vast majority of this trial was played out on social media" and spoke of the vitriol directed at her by supporters of Depp.
She reflected more on the public perception about her in the segment Wednesday, after Gutherie asked Heard about a text in which Depp promised "total global humiliation" for her.
"I'm not a good victim, I get it," she said. "I'm not a likeable victim, I'm not a perfect victim. But when I testified I asked the jury to see me and hear his own words which is a promise to do this."
Depp sued Heard for $50 million, alleging she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she wrote about her experience with domestic violence, though he was not mentioned by name.
She countersued him for $100 million and they both were found liable for defamation, though the jury awarded significantly more damages to Depp.
Heard told Guthrie she "took for granted what I assumed was my right to speak" and now is nervous to speak out.
"I'm scared that no matter what I do, no matter what I say or how I say it, every step that I take will present another opportunity for this sort of silencing," Heard said in response to Guthrie asking if she had concerns that Depp could sue her again in the future. "Which is what I guess a defamation lawsuit is meant to do - to take your voice."
As for the "Aquaman" star's future, she said can now focus on being a full-time mother to her one-year-old daughter.

One reform listed in the proposal is to help states include and implement "red-flag" laws. These are aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves or others and the legislation would provide significant funding to help states create these laws.
The second measure is mental health and telehealth investment. The proposal includes "major investments to increase access to mental health and suicide prevention programs; and other support services available in the community, including crisis and trauma intervention and recovery."
The next measure would deal with closing the boyfriend loophole which deals with whether unmarried partners could keep guns if they were found guilty of violence against a dating partner.
Another major change in the legislation is issuing a more thorough review process for people between ages 18 and 21 who go to buy a gun like an AR-15.
Next, the bill would clarify the definition of a Federally Licensed Firearm Dealer. It would require these dealers to conduct background checks under federal law.
Lastly, the legislation would address school safety. The proposal provides money "to help institute safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools," while also supporting "school violence prevention efforts"

Construction delays, vessel troubles hit Subsea 7’s books
Subsea 7 has updated its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year 2022 following reduced progress on two offshore wind projects and vessel reshuffle at its subsidiary Seaway 7.
Seaway 7 announced provisions against the results of project execution of offshore windfarm installations due to increased costs relating to weather delays and mechanical breakdowns. This, together with an increase in the existing provision on the Formosa 2 project, including the effects of Covid-19, will impact Subsea 7’s Adjusted EBITDA for 2022, which is still expected to be broadly in line with 2021, Subsea 7 said in a trading update on 13 June.
Seaway 7, which also issued an update on the Oslo Stock Exchange, said that it had updated its guidance for full year 2022 with revenue expected to be in line with previous guidance towards USD 1 billion (around EUR 955 million), while its Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 6 per cent.
The offshore construction company said it had encountered reduced progress on the Hollandse Kust Zuid project in the Netherlands due to adverse weather conditions and mechanical breakdowns. The cost increases associated with these challenges will result in a contract loss provision of approximately USD 30 million (around EUR 29 million) to be recognised in the second quarter of 2022.
Furthermore, although the installation of foundations for the Dogger Bank A and B project is expected to commence in 2022 as originally planned, due to Seaway Alfa Lift’s delivery delay, Seaway Strashnov will now be deployed on the project for a full 2023 campaign.
The increased cost of the extended Seaway Strashnov campaign will result in an increase in the contract loss provision of approximately USD 35 million (around EUR 33 million). This loss will be reflected in a revision to the preliminary purchase price adjustment relating to the combination to form Seaway 7 and will not affect Adjusted EBITDA. This revision will be recognised in the second quarter of 2022, the company said in a trading update on 13 June.
Seaway 7 said that it had also encountered reduced progress on the Formosa 2 offshore wind project in Taiwan, related primarily to lower offshore productivity.
“Pursuant to an indemnity from Subsea 7 as part of the combination to form Seaway 7 ASA, the related costs will be reimbursed by Subsea 7 and will not affect Seaway 7”, the company stated.
On the Seagreen 1 offshore wind farm in Scotland, for which Seaway says is significant to its portfolio, everything is going according to plan, with all jackets scheduled to be installed during 2022, as originally planned, according to the company.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly taken on the role of blocking Prince Andrew’s access to Queen Elizabeth, amid his plans to ‘be visiting a lot’ for redemption.
Royal editor for the Daily Mirror, Rusell Myers made this claim during his interview with ITV’s Lorraine.
He started off by saying, “What is Andrew doing? He has essentially been put into early retirement, he’s still wanting to get into royal duties although he’s been banished from royal life essentially.”
“What he has been doing, he has been visiting the Queen and we know that the Queen has had her mobility issues, her health issues, over the last few months, so Prince Andrew was a regular visitor.”
“However, that is all about to change because the Cambridges are moving to Windsor and it seems as though that is going to be happening sooner rather than later.”
“This had been rumoured over the last year, sort of 18 months, that they wanted to get out of London, that they wanted to bring their children up in the countryside.”
“Now, it has been reported that this is going to be happening in a matter of weeks because they have taken, sort of, ownership of Adelaide Cottage.”
“But, it’s just down the road from the Queen, about a ten minute walk,” and the couple intend to visit the Queen more so than before, to take care of her growing fraility.
“This cottage doesn’t need anything doing to it, it doesn’t need a big refurb like Harry and Meghan’s Frogmore Cottage, literally down the road needed and caused a huge load of controversy.” | https://www.geo.tv/latest/422600-prince-william-kate-middleton-forcing-prince-andrew-away-from-weak-queen | 2022-06-15T14:17:10Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/422600-prince-william-kate-middleton-forcing-prince-andrew-away-from-weak-queen | true | 1 |

Eros Electric Merges with Juice Technology to Further Sustainable Electromobility and Expand Access to Hydropowered Green Energy for Real-Time Use
BACHENBÜLACH, Switzerland , June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Juice Technology AG, producer of electric charging stations and software and the market leader in portable chargers for electric cars, today announced the founding of Juice Power AG. Demonstrating a clear commitment to sustainable electromobility, Juice Technology formed Juice Power as a result of a merger with Eros Electric, an independent association that has been supplying clean energy, around the clock, to power the electric vehicles.
Eros Electric was founded in 2016 by Juice Technology AG Founder and CEO Christoph Erni and Jörg Huwyler, Head of Hydropower and Biomass at Axpo. It features sub-participations in two classic hydroelectric power stations, Frisal and Eglisau. Now, as it merges with Juice Technology to form Juice Power, it is expanding access to ecological energy generation from renewable sources which generate power at the same time the energy is drawn during the charging process.
"The demand from drivers of electric cars for energy from demonstrably green production is increasing unabatedly," said Erni. "If we want to charge our cars using green energy in real time, we must make use of green sources of energy which can be regulated, such as hydropower."
According to Erni, incorporating energy generation is only the next logical step in developing electromobility. "We always say: 'Sustainable mobility starts with sustainable charging infrastructure.' But this is only the beginning. This is why we are now going one step further. The electric car, the charging station and the energy to charge the car's battery must be viewed as inseparable components of an overall concept. Electromobility as a whole will only be more ecological once everything is generated and powered with as few emissions as possible, from start to finish."
For Juice Technology, ecological activity is not just about getting rid of exhaust emissions. Juice's commitment began with the planting of trees to offset the CO2 produced when manufacturing and transporting charging stations. Now, the company is going even further with the production of as much green energy as is required for drivers of electric cars. In this way, every journey should be CO2-neutral, at the very least. Even those who are already purchasing green energy can overcompensate for their carbon footprint by embracing the real-time use of hydropower.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve is expected Wednesday to announce its largest interest rate hike since 1994 — a bigger increase than it had previously signaled and a sign that the central bank is struggling to restrain stubbornly high inflation.
The central bank is considered likely to raise its benchmark short-term rate by three-quarters of a percentage point, far larger than the typical quarter-point increase, to a range of 1.5% to 1.75%. It will also likely forecast additional large rate hikes through the end of the year.
A series of sizeable increases would heighten borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, likely leading to an economic slowdown and raising the risk of a recession. The Fed’s previous rate hikes have already had the effect of raising mortgage rates roughly 2 percentage points since the year began and have slowed home sales.
Other central banks around the world are also acting swiftly to try to quell surging inflation, even with their nations at greater risk of recession than the U.S. The European Central Bank is expected to raise rates by a quarter-point in July, its first increase in 11 years. It could announce a larger hike in September if record-high levels of inflation persist.
The global efforts to tighten credit are escalating the risk of a severe downturn in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Last week, the World Bank warned of the threat of “stagflation” — slow growth accompanied by high inflation — around the world.
By the end of 2022, the Fed will have raised its key rate as high as a range of 3.25% to 3.5%, some economists estimate, higher than what was forecast just a few weeks ago. At that level, the rate would likely be well above “neutral,” meaning at a level that would be intended to slow growth. In March, the Fed had forecast that it would raise rates only to a range of 1.75% to 2% by year’s end.
After the Fed’s last meeting in May, when it raised its benchmark rate by a half-point, Chair Jerome Powell said that similar increases were “on the table” for the central bank’s June and July meetings, should the economy “evolve in line with expectations.”
But on Friday, the government reported that year-over-year inflation accelerated unexpectedly in May to 8.6%, the highest such level in four decades. Inflation has spread to nearly every corner of the economy, with costs rising for rents, gas, clothing, medical care, airline fares and clothing.
Also on Friday, a consumer sentiment survey by the University of Michigan found that Americans’ expectations for future inflation are rising. That is a worrisome sign for the Fed, because expectations can become self-fulfilling: If people expect higher inflation in the future, they often change their behavior in ways that increase prices. For example, they may accelerate large purchases before they become more expensive. Doing so can intensify demand and further fuel inflation.
The accelerated series of rate hikes now expected from the Fed will increase the likelihood of a recession in the next year or so.
“I think we’re sort of past the point where a ‘soft landing’ is plausible,” said Aneta Markowska, chief economist at the investment bank Jeffries, referring to the Fed’s effort to raise rates enough to slow growth but not so much as to cause a recession. “I think they’re going to have to cause a contraction.”
A key reason why a recession is now likelier is that economists increasingly believe that for the Fed to slow inflation to its 2% target, it will need to sharply reduce consumer spending, wage gains and economic growth. Ultimately, the unemployment rate will almost certainly have to rise — something the Fed hasn’t yet forecast but could in updated economic projections it will issue Wednesday.
“When you’re on the highway going 90 miles an hour and you miss your exit, slowing down is not going to help you,” Markowska said. “You have to do a U-turn and go back.”
Other central banks are also looking at jumbo rate hikes to combat inflation. In addition to the ECB, the Bank of England has raised rates four times since December to a 13-year high, despite predictions that economic growth will be unchanged in the second quarter. The BOE will hold an interest rate meeting on Thursday.
The 19 European Union countries that use the euro currency endured record inflation of 8.1% last month. The United Kingdom notched a 40-year high of 9% in April. Though debt service costs remain contained for now, rising borrowing costs for indebted governments threatened the eurozone with a breakup in the early part of the last decade.
The exception among major central banks is Japan, whose central bank has kept its ultra-low rates amid inflation that’s weaker than in the U.S. and Europe. That is causing the value of the yen to drop as investors shift money to countries with higher interest rates. | https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-fed-inflation-rate-hike-20220615-2rytgjc4bbcsppckndvrhzt2dm-story.html | 2022-06-15T14:21:08Z | https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-fed-inflation-rate-hike-20220615-2rytgjc4bbcsppckndvrhzt2dm-story.html | true | 42 |

‘Centre misusing’: Cong leader moves SC challenging ED director’s term extension
With Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald case for the third consecutive day, a party functionary on Wednesday knocked the doors of the Supreme Court to scuttle the tenure extension granted to ED director Sanjay Kumar Mishra claiming that the Centre is using enforcement agencies against Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party office bearers.
“The Ministry of Finance (respondent 1 in the petition) is using the enforcement agencies against the Indian National Congress (INC) party’s President and their office bearer,” said the petition filed by Mahila Congress general secretary, Jaya Thakur.
The petition filed on Wednesday sought an order to set aside the Central Vigilance Commission (Amendment) Act 2021 fixing the tenure of ED director as five years and the order issued by the Ministry of Finance on November 17, 2021 granting a further extension of one year to Mishra on the grounds that it was contrary to the judgment passed by the Supreme Court on September 8 last year allowing the first extension granted to Mishra in November 2020 with a rider not to provide any further extension.
Mishra was initially appointed as ED director for a tenure of two years beginning November 19, 2018. On November 13, 2020, his tenure was amended retrospectively to three years by an executive order, owing to pendency of crucial and sensitive ED investigations monitored by him.
“The respondent (Union of India) passed the CVC (Amendment) Act 2021 with a sole purpose to give benefit to respondent 2 (Sanjay Kumar Mishra),” said the petition filed through advocate Varinder Kumar Sharma. This is the second petition challenging the extension order of Mishra with the first one filed in April this year by All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) member and RTI activist Saket Gokhale, which is yet to be heard by the top court.
Casting doubts over the ED’s decision to summon Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, the petition said, “The investigation is going on for the last 10 years with an intention to damage the image and reputation of their (Centre’s) opponents…In the whole world there are no agencies to search (investigate) up to 10 years. The above said act clearly shows that respondents are misusing (enforcement agencies) for political vendetta.”
The petition said that the above acts of the respondents hit at the root of democracy and seek to silence the voice of Opposition. “Democracy is part of the basic structure of the Constitution and rule of law and free and fair elections are basic features of democracy. The respondents are destroying the basic structure of democracy by misusing enforcement agencies against the political opponents….Harassing the opposition leaders is against the democracy. Opposition voice is necessary in democracy as opposition voice is common man’s voice,” it added.
Mishra’s extension was challenged by NGO Common Cause in the Supreme Court saying that there was no reason to continue a man who had superannuated on May 2020. Allowing such a decision would wreak havoc with the government machinery allowing the Centre a free hand to keep officers of their choice for the unreasonable period beyond their retirement, it added.
The government argued before the court that Section 25(d) of Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act provides for the tenure of ED director to be “not less than two years”. This, according to the Centre, gave discretion to the government to fix a tenure beyond two years notwithstanding the retirement age of 60 years applicable under Rule 56 of All India Service Rules.
The top court judgment of September 2021 upheld the power of the Centre to extend the tenure of ED director over two years. However, it said, “We make it clear that any extension should be only in rare and exceptional cases. Any extension granted to persons beyond superannuation should be for a short tenure.”
In the case of Mishra, the court held, “For the reason that his (Mishra) tenure is ending in November 2021 we have refused to interfere. However, we make it clear that no further extension is to be granted to him.”
The government told the court that under Mishra, ED netted a sum of nearly ₹9,000 crore worth proceeds of crime in the investigation of three cases involving Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi. The bench had replied to this argument by saying, “We appreciate that he is doing good work. But you cannot continue with him till all these cases are over.” | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/centre-misusing-cong-leader-moves-sc-challenging-ed-director-s-term-extension-101655299338159.html | 2022-06-15T14:25:54Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/centre-misusing-cong-leader-moves-sc-challenging-ed-director-s-term-extension-101655299338159.html | true | 2 |

(The Hill) — The Navy has announced a string of five officer firings in the span of less than a week, the most recent on Tuesday with the commanding officer of USS Preble guided-missile destroyer.
Cmdr. Peter Lesaca was relieved of his role “due to loss of confidence in his ability to command,” according to a Navy statement.
The service did not offer details on his firing, only noting that “Navy commanding officers are held to high standards of personal and professional conduct” and are “expected to uphold the highest standards of responsibility, reliability and leadership, and the Navy holds them accountable when they fall short of those standards.”
Capt. Larry Repass, deputy commodore of Destroyer Squadron 23, will assume the duties as commanding officer until the permanent and qualified relief arrives, the Navy noted.
Prior to that, on June 11 the Navy relieved Capt. Jeffry Sandin, the commanding officer of the Recruit Training Command, “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.”
The service also did not offer details of Sandin’s firing, and only said he had been reassigned to Naval Service Training Command headquarters.
Capt. Kertreck Brooks, chief of staff of Naval Service Training Command, took over Sandin’s responsibilities.
And on June 10, the USS Bulkeley destroyer commanding officer Cmdr. Devine Johnson and Command Master Chief Earl Sanders were both relieved “due to a loss of confidence in their ability to effectively function as a command leadership team,” according to a separate Navy statement.
Johnson had been the ship’s commanding officer since July 2020, while Sanders served as the command master chief since June 2021.
Capt. William “Mac” Harkin, currently Deputy Commodore, Destroyer Squadron Two was temporarily assigned as commanding officer “until a permanent relief is identified.”
Sanders, meanwhile, was temporarily replaced by Master Chief Petty Officer Christy Reed, also of CDS-2.
Both Johnson and Sanders will be temporarily reassigned to the staff of the commander of Naval Surface Force Atlantic.
“There is no impact to the command’s mission or schedule due to this relief,” the statement noted.
The Navy’s Air Wing was also shaken up by a firing last week, after the commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron 137, Cmdr. Matthew McCormick, was relieved on June 8 due to loss of confidence in his ability to command.
McCormick, who had been commanding officer of VAQ-137 since September 2021, was temporarily reassigned to Electronic Attack Wing Pacific at Naval Station Whidbey Island, Wash.
Cmdr. Scott Maynes, the executive officer of VAQ-137, is currently serving as the acting commanding officer until a permanent replacement is identified. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/navy-fires-5-officers-in-less-than-a-week/ | 2022-06-15T14:30:49Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/navy-fires-5-officers-in-less-than-a-week/ | true | 20 |

SEOUL:
Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee met with
ASML Holding NV CEO Peter Wennink on Tuesday to discuss cooperating over the adoption of high-end chip equipment, Samsung said on Wednesday.
A company statement said Lee and executives from the Dutch multinational held wide-ranging discussions on the smooth supply of extreme ultraviolet (
EUV) lithography equipment, "essential for implementing minute processes for next-generation semiconductor production."
The also discussed prospects for the
chip market and technology trends, the statement said, without elaborating further.
ASML's EUV machines are key to advanced
chipmaking and cost up to $160 million each, and the limited number produced has created a bottleneck for chipmakers like Samsung, TSMC and Intel which have plans to spend more than $100 billion in coming years to build semiconductor plants.
Samsung is estimated to secure 18 EUV machines from ASML this year, up from an estimated 15 last year and 8 in 2020, Lee Jae-yun, analyst at Yuanta Securities, said in past comments.
Samsung, which uses EUV process in both chip contract manufacturing and DRAM memory chip manufacturing, declined comment on specific future EUV adoption plans. It was the first to use EUV in DRAM manufacturing.
Samsung said in an earnings call in January that it would be "expanding supply of high-performance products and increasing application of its industry-leading EUV technology" for memory chips.
It also said that its chip contract manufacturing investments were concentrated on capacity expansions for advanced 5-nanometer EUV processes in its Pyeongtaek, South Korea plant.
Lee also visited microelectronics think-tank IMEC on Wednesday, Samsung said. | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/samsungs-lee-discusses-smooth-supply-of-essential-chip-equipment-with-asmls-wennink/92229258 | 2022-06-15T14:41:55Z | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/samsungs-lee-discusses-smooth-supply-of-essential-chip-equipment-with-asmls-wennink/92229258 | false | 6 |
(HONG KONG) — Just 10 days after Shanghai lifted its two-month lockdown and less than a week after Beijing declared its outbreak under control, China’s two largest cities found themselves walking back on loosening up restrictions.
Beijing delayed reopening schools on Monday as a new outbreak centered around a popular bar district pushed cases to a three-week high and Shanghai, once again, suspended dine-in services at restaurants.
Both cities were back to conducting mass testing over the weekend as outbreaks of the Omicron variant stubbornly persist despite the country’s no tolerance zero-COVID measures. Shanghai even briefly placed most of the city back in lockdown Saturday morning to conduct its mass test, which only turned up 66 cases through the weekend.
As much of the world has shifted definitively to living with the virus, China, by all measures, is digging in and even expanding their method of mass testing and suppression authorities call “Dynamic Zero-COVID” where all positive cases, no matter how mild, needed to be isolated and quarantined.
Before Omicron, China’s zero-COVID measures had allowed Chinese citizens to go about their lives as normal for nearly two years as COVID-19 ravaged the rest of the world. China still has one of the lowest official COVID-19 death rates in the world.
The implementation of the Shanghai lockdown, however, came to show the economic and social toll of the country’s stringent measures with Bloomberg Economics predicting that China’s will grow slower than the U.S. economy for the first time since 1976.
Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow for Global Health Yanzhong Huang believes that, despite this, Chinese authorities are drawing a very different lesson from the omicron outbreak and lockdown in Shanghai than when previous zero-COVID stalwarts like New Zealand opened up after omicron broke down their defenses.
“[The Chinese health authorities] believe they didn’t respond speedily enough,” Huang told ABC News. “[They believe] if they took action in the very beginning of the outbreak they would have been able to cut the transmission and bring the situation under control right away.”
In other words, it wasn’t the zero-COVID policy that didn’t work, it was poor implementation that landed Shanghai in lockdown.
So instead of realizing zero-COVID methods were increasingly ineffective against highly transmissible variants like omicron, Huang says authorities came to the opposite conclusion: they needed to double down and that zero-COVID is the only way to go.
Since May, China has rolled out a stringent new PCR testing regime in most major cities across the country — including those where no cases have been detected — and are requiring people to test negative for COVID-19 every 48 to 72 hours in order to work, shop or use public transport.
This has resulted in hundreds of thousands of new semi-permanent testing facilities being set up across the country with the aim of having a testing booth within a 15-minute walk of every resident in all provincial capitals and cities with more than 10 million residents.
Officials argue that constant screening will allow them to catch cases early before they spread exponentially so they would not have to resort to a prolonged lockdown like Shanghai’s.
Shanghai alone has set up 15,000 testing sites in the city but even then social media is teeming with daily clips of long lines of residents waiting to be tested. These booths are usually manned by one or two technicians sealed in an air-conditioned metal and glass cabin with two rubber gloves or openings to take a patient’s sample.
The English-language Chinese outlet Sixth Tone calculated it would cost an estimated $12.55 billion a year to maintain just this testing regime which would have to be paid for by the local governments.
Meanwhile, according to Japanese investment bank Nomura, there are still eight cities across China and an estimated 74 million people currently under full or partial lockdown measures, down from an estimated 355 million people in April.
Last month, the director-general of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, commented that he did not believe zero-COVID is “sustainable, considering the behavior of the virus now and what we anticipate in the future.”
That prompted Chinese Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian to immediately retort, “we hope that relevant people can view China’s policy of epidemic prevention and control objectively and rationally, get more knowledge about the facts and refrain from making irresponsible remarks.”
“The Chinese government’s policy of epidemic prevention and control can stand the test of history, and our prevention and control measures are scientific and effective,” Zhao said. “China is one of the most successful countries in epidemic prevention and control in the world, which is obvious to all of the international community.”
With the focus on testing and isolation, the conversation around vaccinations has been comparatively muted. Though China was one of the first countries to roll out a vaccination program, an estimated 100 million Chinese citizens remained unvaccinated or under-vaccinated, the majority of which are vulnerable seniors.
China has relied primarily on their own domestic traditional technology vaccines that — although proven to be less effective against infection than the mRNA vaccines now used in much of the world — still protected people from hospitalization and death.
CFR’s Huang believes that even if vaccinations rates improved or an effective domestically-made mRNA vaccine is rolled out, it was unlikely to change the government’s attitude towards zero-COVID.
“This is the problem,” Huang said, “if your intention is zero-COVID and cannot tolerate any infections no matter how mild they are, even if they do achieve a 100% vaccination rate, even if you have the best of vaccines in the world, you cannot prevent infections.”
Huang believes the longer China maintains this policy, the larger the immunity gap grows between China and the rest of world.
“You are basically prolonging the inevitable,” says Huang. “You have to face the reality that with such a large population not exposed to the virus and that has relatively low immunity level to virus, no matter how draconian the measures you undertake, you cannot prevent the virus from infiltrating the borders and affecting the Chinese people.”
China’s borders have remained effectively sealed off since March 2020 and in early May this year the National Immigration Administration announced on Weibo that it would “strictly restrict non-essential departures of Chinese citizens” and ban the approval of new passports.
While many had hoped that China would begin easing restrictions after the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in February, the outbreaks that emerged soon afterwards dampened that outlook. An important Communist Party meeting coming up in the fall where Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to gain an unprecedented third term was seen as the next milestone but that looks increasingly unlikely as well.
In a sign on how long China’s strict measures may last, look no further than next year’s Asia Football Confederation’s Asian Cup soccer tournament set to begin in mid-June 2023. China had won the bid to host and even purposely built or renovated stadiums in 10 cities but last month completely relinquished its hosting rights “due exceptional circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“The zero-COVID policy is the biggest impediment to right now to China’s economic recovery,” said Huang. “But if they choose to pivot away from zero-COVID it will be difficult because that issue is being politicized. Pivoting away means you have to admit to the failure of zero-COVID in which the top leader himself has invested so much.”
On a visit to the western province of Sichuan Friday, Xi made his position clear.
“Persistence is victory,” Xi said. “We must unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ‘dynamic zero-COVID’, strengthen confidence, eliminate interference, overcome paralyzing thoughts, pay close attention to the key tasks of epidemic prevention and control, and resolutely consolidate the hard-won results of epidemic prevention and control.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Kent County Animal Shelter and Animal Control are changing departments.
The animal shelter will no longer be under the administration of the Kent County Health Department. It will instead be a stand-alone county department. In a press release, the county said this change will allow the health department to “focus more exclusively on human health.”
The animal shelter will still be focused on the care, shelter and feeding of lost and abandoned animals in the county, the release states.
Kent County Animal Control will be reassigned and run by a specially trained team at the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, because the “operations are largely a function of law enforcement,” according to the release.
“These decisions are data-driven and reflect nationwide best practices in animal welfare, as well as public safety,” said Kent County Administrator Al Vanderberg.
On June 9, the county board of commissioners voted to create and fund three full-time animal control unit supervisors at the sheriff’s office. While these employees will not be able to arrest people, the sheriff’s deputies in the control unit can make arrests when there is cause to believe a crime has been committed.
“With these changes, animal control operations will be led by sworn law enforcement officers trained to provide oversight and to protect due process in rapidly unfolding legal and civil rights matters,” said Kent County Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young in a statement.
Kent County reminds residents that if you encounter an animal emergency, like an animal attacking a person or a pet in immediate danger, you should call 911. If you find a stray dog, have been bitten by a dog, or want to report a suspected case of animal cruelty or neglect, you should call the Kent County Sheriff’s Department dispatch at 616.632.7310. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/kent-county-animal-shelter-becomes-own-department/ | 2022-06-15T14:57:37Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/kent-county-animal-shelter-becomes-own-department/ | false | 1 |
One of several major milestones the laser hair removal giant has reached in recent years.
OMAHA, Neb., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- June 15 marks the 10th anniversary of Milan Laser Hair Removal, the largest laser hair removal provider in the country. Milan Laser traces its roots to Papillion, Neb, a suburb of Omaha, where doctors Shikhar Saxena and Abe Schumacher opened the first clinic. "I can't believe it's been ten years already… and we now have over 190 locations in 25 states," said Andria Simons, Milan's very first employee and current Vice President of Business Development. "Ten years and a lot of growth later, and I'm just as thrilled to be a part of this team today as I was when it all began."
In their first decade, Milan Laser has stood apart from the competition and changed the conversation about laser hair removal. Schumacher and Saxena recognized a common frustration among new clients early on and seized the opportunity to set themselves apart from the status quo of the industry. They resolved to become leaders in the accelerating laser hair removal industry by delivering exceptional results with transparent pricing.
"We tapped into frustrations that clients had about subpar laser hair removal results," said Dr. Shikhar Saxena, co-founder and CEO of Milan Laser Hair Removal. "Most companies were selling limited treatment packages, so clients would have to keep coming back to get the results they wanted and paying more."
Milan Laser has since distinguished itself from med spas and other laser hair removal providers by staying true to their medical roots and not selling laser hair removal by the session—something nearly unheard of in the industry.
Being founded by two physicians, Milan Laser has always been a medically-focused company, and that's as true today as it was when the company began ten years ago. Their team of medical experts utilizes ongoing medical research to continuously refine their proprietary treatment protocol to ensure they are providing the safest, most effective treatments in the industry for all skin tones. Additionally, all of their treatments are performed by highly trained medical professionals who are overseen by medical doctors.
And as for addressing the frustration of continuously paying for additional limited treatment packages or touch-up fees that was so common in the industry, Milan Laser's exclusive Unlimited Package™ comes with each body area purchased. This unique package gives clients unlimited treatments on any body area purchased—though the average client is 95%+ hair-free in seven to 10 treatments.
It's Milan Laser's way of guaranteeing every client's results for life at one affordable price—there are no surprise costs or touch-up fees down the road. And if clients travel or move, their laser hair removal package goes with them as clients can receive treatment at any of Milan Laser's 190 (and counting!) locations across the country, another achievement from the company.
"I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished over the last decade, and I want to thank everyone who's stuck with us along the way," said Dr. Abe Schumacher, co-founder and co-executive Chairman at Milan Laser. "Laser hair removal is life-changing for many, and I'm so enthusiastic about Milan's future and all the opportunities we have to create real relationships with our clients."

NEW YORK (AP) — A Time magazine correspondent has a book planned for next year that will draw upon his extensive access to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Simon Shuster's “When the World Is Watching: Volodymyr Zelensky and the War in Ukraine” will provide a detailed account of the Ukrainian president's response to the Russian invasion, HarperCollins Publishers announced Wednesday.
“Shuster will offer revelations about the way Zelensky and his team have experienced this war and navigated the shifting roles of foreign leaders from around the world,” according to the publisher. “The book combines intimate, fly-on-the-wall storytelling with the unnerving narrative of how the war is unfolding across Ukraine.”
The Associated Press uses Ukrainian transliterations of people’s names, including Zelenskyy.
Shuster is a Moscow native who has worked for more than 15 years on Russia and Ukraine, reporting from both countries. He lives in New York City, but currently spends much of his time in Kiev.
“It is the privilege of my career to report the story of this war as President Zelensky and his team have experienced it," he said in a statement. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Time-correspondent-writing-book-on-Zelenskyy-and-17243232.php | 2022-06-15T15:00:01Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Time-correspondent-writing-book-on-Zelenskyy-and-17243232.php | true | 32 |
Columbus woman accused of stealing dead baby’s identity
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A Columbus woman was arrested Friday in Utah on federal charges she stole the identity of a dead baby.
Ava Misseldine, 49, used the infant’s identity to obtain a passport, student pilot license, flight attendant job, admission to Ohio State University and pandemic relief loans, said Kenneth Parker, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
Employee accused of stealing from Cedar PointMisseldine is charged with passport fraud, social security number fraud, aggravated identity theft and fraud in connection with an emergency, Parker’s office announced in a news release. Misseldine could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Parker said Misseldine stole the identity of a baby that died in 1979 and is buried in a Columbus cemetery. She used it to apply for an Ohio ID, social security card and driver’s license in 2003, and she obtained a pilot certificate and U.S. passport in 2007. She was employed under the false identity for JetSelect.
Misseldine used both false identity and her real name to obtain about $1.5 million in fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program loans in 2020, court documents show. The applications site her former bakeries Sugar Inc. Cupcakes and Tea Salon in Dublin and Koko Tea Salon and Bakery in New Albany and Easton.
Using the loans, she purchased a home near Zion National Park in Utah for $647,500 and another in Michigan for $327,500.
Misseldine will be brought to Ohio for a court appearance. The full complain against her can be read at this link.

Warning to anyone who’s had Omicron over threat from new Covid strains
SURVIVORS of the Omicron Covid wave have been warned they won’t be able to fend off new Covid strains circulating.
The findings of new research by Imperial College London even apply to those who are triple-jabbed, scientists say.
The study found that those who had previous Omicron illness were not immune to catching it again, including the older BA.1 and BA.2 versions, and newer BA.4 and BA.5 strains.
That’s despite the fact they had an immune boost against previous strains, such as Delta and Alpha.
Professor Danny Altmann, from Imperial’s Department of Immunology and Inflammation, said: “Not only can it break through vaccine defences, it looks to leave very few of the hallmarks we’d expect on the immune system.
“It's more stealthy than previous variants and flies under the radar, so the immune system is unable to remember it.”
However, he stressed vaccines are still protective against severe disease and death.
And Omicron has so far caused a milder illness, especially in the fully jabbed.
After someone is infected with Covid, or vaccinated, their body remembers the bug for the next time it is exposed.
The researchers say each individual has their own “immunity imprint” depending on the type of strain they were infected by, and their vaccine doses.
They wanted to understand why so many people catch Omicron a second time around, even when they should have both natural and vaccine protection.
Most read in Health
Blood samples from more than 700 UK healthcare workers who received three doses of mRNA vaccine - Pfizer and Moderna - were analysed.
People who had dodged Covid until the Omicron wave showed immunity that crossed over to older strains.
But they showed a reduced boosting against the Omicron variant, according to the findings in the journal Science.
Healthcare workers who had caught Alpha showed a less sustained antibody response against Omicron.
And those infected during the first wave of the pandemic - by the strain first seen in China - and then again later with Omicron lacked any boosting.
Researchers termed this “hybrid immune damping” - when infection from an older Covid strain impairs the immune boosting effect of a later Omicron infection.
Professor Rosemary Boyton, from Imperial’s Department of Infectious Disease and lead author, said: “Getting infected with Omicron does not provide a potent boost to immunity against re-infection with Omicron in the future.
Prof Altmann said: “We have found that Omicron is far from a benign natural booster of vaccine immunity, as we might have thought, but it is an especially stealthy immune evader.
“While our latest findings highlight clear concerns about the nature of Omicron infection, vaccination remains effective against severe disease.
“Those who are eligible to receive a booster should be encouraged to do so.”
Dr Catherine Reynolds, from Imperial’s Department of Infectious Disease, said: “Our study shows that an individual’s vaccination and infection history can have a huge bearing on their immune response to variants, including to Omicron."
The researchers said understanding the variety in people’s “Immunity imprint” will be vital moving forward as new Covid strains crop up.
The BA.2 variant – which caused a record wave of infections in spring this year – remains the dominant strain in the UK.
But newer variants BA.4 and BA.5 have been spreading at higher levels in recent weeks, with a jump of infections from the original BA.1. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9018503/warning-anyone-omicron-no-immunity-new-covid-strains/ | 2022-06-15T15:03:45Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9018503/warning-anyone-omicron-no-immunity-new-covid-strains/ | true | 4 |

Heat Wave Continues
As this ridge of high pressure in the upper levels dominates, the heat wave will continue today. Temperatures remain well above normal with highs surging into the low to mid-90s this afternoon. The humidity was a little lower yesterday but it returns for our Hump Day, ahead of our next cold front. Heat index values will be steamy this afternoon with some of our northeastern communities still under a Heat Advisory.
Slim Rain Chances
As this front approaches from the northwest, we’ll start to see a little more cloud cover developing. This boundary moves in by the evening and it’s going to bring isolated storm chances. It’s looking like the best chances arrive overnight with a couple of storms possibly on the stronger side, especially early. This is when instability is a bit greater. We do have a Marginal Risk for our NW neighborhoods up toward spots like KC, so make sure you stay weather aware. A spotty storm or two is possible tomorrow too as this front moves through the area. Another slim chance of storms arrives on Friday as a weak disturbance moves through the region.
No Break from the Heat
Despite these waves of moisture moving through, we’re really not expecting a big cool-down. Temperatures stay well above normal into the weekend, topping out in the low to mid-90s. This ridge of high pressure continues to wobble across the Upper Midwest, leading to the heat. Sunday is looking like the most refreshing day even though it remains hot. We’ll see plenty of sunshine over the weekend into next week too with highs ramping up close to 100° Monday and Tuesday.

Finance ministers from the three devolved nations have urged the UK Government to do more in helping those “most in need” during the cost-of-living crisis.
Holyrood’s Kate Forbes, Conor Murphy from the Northern Ireland Assembly, Rebecca Evans from the Welsh Government and Simon Clark, the UK Government’s chief secretary to the Treasury, met in Cardiff on Wednesday.
The ongoing cost-of-living crisis was at the top of the agenda for the politicians as they attended a Finance Interministerial Standing Committee.
The ministers discussed what more could be done to assist people and businesses in coping with the soaring costs of food, fuel and energy as inflation rises.
It comes after a warning from Ofgem that consumers could be facing yet another increase to their energy bills, with costs set to rise by around £800 per year in October.
The three finance ministers joined forces to call on Westminster to use the powers available to do more in the way of support for those struggling.
Ms Forbes, Scotland’s Finance Secretary, said: “As we continue our economic recovery from the pandemic and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we must firmly focus government and public sector resources on delivering clear priorities, including tackling child poverty, growing the economy and meeting our climate change targets.
“While we are doing all we can with the finite financial resources and limited powers currently available to us to tackle the rising cost of living, the UK Government needs to use the powers at its disposal to help those most in need, including low-income households and families with children as well as businesses.”
Ms Evans, finance minister at the Senedd, said: “The UK Government needs to use the levers at its disposal to take further urgent steps to target gaps in support, particularly to help lower-income households and families with children, and to boost businesses who are also feeling the impacts of rising costs.
“Removing all social and environmental policy costs from household energy bills, for example, and introducing a lower price cap for lower-income households would help them to meet the costs of their energy needs now and in the future.”
Stormont’s finance minister Mr Murphy said: “The collective message to Treasury today was clear – more must be done to help households and businesses facing an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis.
“While the Treasury has announced assistance for citizens, they must now look at supporting businesses which are also facing increased fuel and energy costs which are also facing increased fuel and energy costs against a backdrop of trying to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Along with the Welsh and Scottish finance ministers, I impressed upon the Chief Secretary to the Treasury the need for further measures to be taken. I once again called on Treasury to reduce VAT on energy bills.”
He added: “I also reiterated to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury the need to ensure the citizens of the North are not disadvantaged when it comes to the £400 Energy Bill Support Scheme payment because of the absence of an Executive.

Kent fury bubbles over as it blasts ‘joke’ decision to grant Sussex wine Champagne-style status
It might sound like a case of sour grapes but England’s winemakers have fallen out over the awarding of a regional denomination intended to promote the quality of their product.
Wines from Sussex were on Wednesday given their own official designation, intended to guarantee their quality and geographical provenance.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) approved the registration of "Sussex" as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for wine, similar to the French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) and Italian Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC).
Rival wine makers from next door Kent have dismissed Sussex’s PDO as a “joke”, describing it as a marketing exercise which says little about the geographical features which produce a particular tasting wine.
Graham Barbour, the founder and owner of Woodchurch Wine Estate in Ashford on the Kent-Sussex border, said: “This is just a marketing exercise based on the political boundaries of a county. It tells you nothing about the geographical features of a particular vineyard or the quality of the wine.
'It's meaningless'
“Some Kent vineyards share the same geographical features as parts of Sussex so it’s meaningless to lump everything together under one arbitrary county designation.”
Mr Barbour said many of his fellow Kent producers had no wish to gain a PDO for their country based on administrative political boundaries rather than "terroir" or geography.
“The whole idea of a Sussex PDO is a joke, but perhaps I would say that,” he added.
However, Sussex’s wine producers have raised a glass to the decision, saying the move places wines from the county’s rolling chalk slopes on a par with those from sought after wine-producing regions such as Burgundy and Champagne, Rioja and Tuscany.
Miles Beale, chief executive of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, said: “Not only does the PDO recognise the particular growing conditions found in Sussex, but it also shows the commitment of wine makers in this region to produce high-quality still and sparkling wines under strict production criteria. The PDO scheme will enhance English wine’s established reputation as a high-quality product to rival the best and boost its vast export potential.”
Mark Driver, co-founder of the Rathfinny Wine Estate in Alfriston, East Sussex, said: “We believe that the name Sussex will become synonymous with high-quality sparkling and still wine, so when you go into a bar in London, New York, Beijing, or Tokyo you will be asked ‘Would you like a glass of Champagne or a delicious glass of Sussex?’”
The PDO’s defenders say wines labelled as Sussex must pass a stringent analytical test and qualitative analysis by an independent tasting panel.
In the case of Sussex sparkling wines, this means that the wine must have been aged in the bottle for a minimum of 15 months before release, with the wines assessed for their clarity, aroma, taste and the characteristics of their bubbles.
Sussex wine is only the second product to be granted protection under the new UK GI scheme, after Gower Peninsula saltmarsh lamb.
Significant calcareous influence
The majority of Sussex vineyards are based either on the chalk or the greensands to the north of the South Downs. This geological feature, that runs through East and West Sussex, has a significant calcareous influence on Sussex vineyards, providing ideal free-draining soils for viticulture, with a steady supply of water even in the driest of summers.
The original application for PDO status was granted temporary protection by Defra in 2015 and submitted to the EU in 2016 for approval. After the UK’s withdrawal from the bloc, it fell upon the Government to approve it.
The area of planted vineyards in the UK has quadrupled since 2000 and now stands at more than 8,750 acres (3,500 hectares), with Sussex responsible for more than a quarter of all the wine produced.
The new PDO will limit the grape varieties that can be used to make Sussex wines with hand harvesting and restrict yields to ensure only the best grapes are used, along with longer bottle ageing for sparkling wine.
Art Tukker, owner of the Tinwood Estate in Chichester, West Sussex, said: “The Sussex PDO will cement the bond between the unique soils and climate of the Sussex countryside with our truly remarkable sparkling wines, giving them a sense of place and purpose on the world stage among Champagne and our other great rivals.”
Mr Driver added: “We believe that Sussex will become a quality marque, reflecting what winemakers call terroir; the soils, influenced by the South Downs, the climate and people who make Sussex wines.” | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/kent-fury-bubbles-over-blasts-145814368.html?src=rss | 2022-06-15T15:08:23Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/kent-fury-bubbles-over-blasts-145814368.html?src=rss | false | 2 |

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wants Americans to remember how things were in America on the day President Biden “walked into office.”
While she tried to make the case that they were bad—"the economy was not in a great place, schools were closed, business were closed, we didn’t have a comprehensive covid strategy”—in reality, things were far better then than they are now.
“We have to remember where this country was more than a year ago when he walked into office,” she said.
The Republican National Committee reminded her.
"Karine Jean-Pierre says 'we have to remember where this country was' when Biden 'walked into office,'" the RNC tweeted. “Yeah, gas was $2.39/gal, inflation was at 1.4%, the markets were higher, and Trump was leading a great American comeback."

WALTHAM, Mass., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AVAVA Inc., a disruptive aesthetic platform company, announced today that it was awarded first place in the prestigious Innovation Tank Challenge during the 23rd International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) Annual World Congress. The award recognized AVAVA's non-invasive breakthrough procedure that safely and effectively prevents and treats skin aging, and pigmentary conditions, for all skin tones.
AVAVA, a Blossom Innovations company, was recognized for its FDA-cleared skin rejuvenation laser with Focal Point Technology™. This industry-first procedure is transforming the aesthetic laser market by delivering energy with pinpoint accuracy for optimal patient outcomes. Coupled with its high resolution interactive imaging system, AVAVA has built an intelligent solution that unlocks safe and effective treatments for all skin types.
This latest breakthrough technology was created by scientists R. Rox Anderson, M.D., director of the Wellman Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School – Department of Dermatology; Dieter Manstein, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital; Henry H.L. Chan, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong and the visiting scientist of the Wellman Center, Massachusetts General Hospital; and Dr. Irina Erenburg, CEO of AVAVA.
"Currently, the most well-known energy-based devices on the market for skin rejuvenation are painful; are associated with a long downtime for patients; and deliver moderate, inconsistent results. These procedures are also often unsafe for skin of color," said Dr. Irina Erenburg. "Additionally, all current energy-based treatments deliver energy to the skin, regardless of the size or shape of the region or skin area to be treated. In the process, normal and healthy parts of the skin are unnecessarily exposed to energy. AVAVA's pinpoint image guided accuracy changes that paradigm for all patients."
Erenburg continued: "We are honored to have been recognized as the winner of IMCAS' Innovation Tank Challenge among many other worthy competitors, not only for our technology but for the unmet need it addresses."
IMCAS is the largest educational conference in the world for dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners, and brings together international industry experts to share the latest evidence-based techniques and developments in the field. Its Innovation Tank Challenge is a high-profile opportunity for start-ups to pitch their unique ideas and innovative solutions to a jury of prominent investors and leaders in the medical industry.

The women's healthcare company reveals the need to increase education on preparing, managing, and treating solutions for menopause symptoms
NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bonafide, the women's healthcare company offering naturally powerful solutions to manage menopause, today announces the release of its second State of Menopause Study, which aggregates symptoms and treatments, male awareness, and societal stereotypes of over 2,000 menopausal aged women in the United States.
In an effort to support women throughout their menopause journey, Bonafide is on a mission to destigmatize the topic of menopause, which is often under-discussed due to the lack of education and taboo nature of women's health in general. As a result, Bonafide conducted this survey to address the need for increased resources on menopause to help aid women through this life journey.
- 92% of women feel more education is needed about the menopause journey
- 88% of women feel men should have a greater awareness of menopause
- 71% feel there needs to be more education on how to manage menopause symptoms
- 62% think more pro-aging content directed at women is needed to destigmatize ageism associated with menopause
Compared to last year's survey, women are becoming more aware of the signs and symptoms that occur throughout the menopause transition, but still feel the need for greater education on the topic to better prepare them for this life stage. This year's study found that there is a generational gap between women in their early 40s and mid-50s who actively spoke with their healthcare providers before experiencing symptoms of perimenopause.
- 30% of women aged 40-44 proactively talked with a healthcare professional about perimenopause before experiencing signs/symptoms, whereas only 15% of women aged 55-65 said the same
- 25% are not aware when perimenopause typically starts and 31% do not know their treatment options
- Only 28% of women knew how to care for themselves during perimenopause before it started
- 42% of women surveyed aged 55-65 were not prepared for how long perimenopause lasts
When it comes to the beginning of the menopause experience, women are given few symptom management options including hormone replacement therapy and over-the-counter treatments. Many are unsatisfied with their choices while others simply choose to "tough it out." More than half the women surveyed felt unprepared for menopause symptoms and reported wishing that they had more awareness of what to expect.
- When it comes to experiencing menopause, only 6% felt prepared for all symptoms. The symptoms respondents were not prepared for included hot flashes (52%), sleep problems (51%), and night sweats (49%); while brain fog and increased feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress followed closely behind (47%)
- Thinking about sex during menopause, 43% of women experienced low libido, resulting in 33% having decreased confidence in the bedroom
According to the survey, women going through menopause feel they are missing adequate support from the men in their lives including, spouses/romantic partners, brothers, sons, etc. Women are more likely to feel secure with their symptom management if men had a broader knowledge of the topic earlier in life.
- 58% of respondents feel supported by their spouse/romantic partner whereas 23% feel a lack of support from male family members (brother, father, son)
- 29% feel a lack of understanding from their partner regarding intercourse during menopause
- 41% said they would feel more supported by the men in their life if there was more education on the topic and if women's health was discussed on a more general level
- 31% of women surveyed aged 40-44 said their spouse/romantic partner knew a lot about menopause before they spoke to them about it, vs. 15% of women surveyed aged 55-65 said the same
Menopause is often associated with old age and 25% of women feel an aversion towards it. However, 44% of women still don't feel "old" and feel the negative stigmas associated with age affect how menopause is addressed in the media.
- 36% have anxiety over aging and think there is more pressure to "age gracefully"
- 30% aren't confident embracing their age
- 32% think there are more stereotypes and prejudice toward older women compared to previous years
- 34% would feel more supported as they age if more conversations were represented in the media
Censuswide surveyed 2,005 women across the United States between 40-65 years old on their experience with menopause, overall knowledge before starting menopause, and insights on male support. Bonafide's research detects there is still a need to increase access to educational resources, address the stigma associated with age, and engage in more regular discussions around the topic.
Bonafide was launched with a simple mission in mind: to provide women with new and effective treatment options for relief from symptoms throughout their menopause journey. Trusted by more than 10,000 unpaid health care professionals, Bonafide's portfolio of drug- and hormone-free treatment options are rigorously researched and validated through dozens of clinical studies. Bonafide aims to be the go-to resource for women seeking educational resources about menopause and symptom management while continuing its mission of providing women with innovative, safe, and effective solutions for menopause relief from hot flashes and vaginal dryness to improving sexual satisfaction.

Mark Ronson is the latest star to release a course on BBC Maestro, a Masterclass-style platform that features well-known creative and business types explaining their process.
As you’d expect, Ronson’s course focuses on the art - not to mention the nuts and bolts - of music production. It features 18 lessons and covers songwriting, recording, and other essential production skills.
There’s also advice on how to successfully collaborate with other artists, something that Ronson has previously done with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.
“I’m doing this so that any young kids curious about producing, or people who are starting out, or just music fans who are wondering if they want to get into it, can see how to produce music,” Ronson explains, “It's usable, accessible content”.
“Whether it’s chopping breaks or mic-ing drums, or a more holistic understanding of how to collaborate with artists. It's a bunch of things that I've learned over 25 years, the insight and foresight I've amassed, packaged in a nice little lesson series,” he adds.
Ronson also breaks down some of his biggest hits, including Nothing Breaks Like A Heart and Uptown Funk.
The complete course is over six hours in length - it’ll be available on 5 July priced at £80. You’ll also be able to watch via BBC Maestro’s new all-access subscription service, which enables you to view everything the platform has to offer. Ronson’s course launch also coincides with BBC Maestro arriving in the US.

Resident Evil Upgrades Cannot Be Reversed On PC, Irritating Some Players
You're unable to play older versions of modern Resident Evil games on PC, which presents all sorts of problems.
Upgrades for numerous Resident Evil games went live after Capcom's Showcase this week, but players are quickly finding out that it comes with the concession of not being able to choose lower quality settings anymore.
Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 all received big visual upgrades this week on consoles and PC, with Resident Evil Village getting its own later this year. On consoles this means you can download native Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions of each game now, with older versions persisting on older consoles (and, in the case of the PlayStation 5, on newer ones too). This isn't the case, however, on PC, where your only option is the newer versions.
Usually this wouldn't be an issue, but there are a couple of reasons why this has caused problems. Firstly, the minimum requirements for each game have now increased, which means you might not be able to play them at all if you were previously just scraping by. The games are also now exclusively using DirectX 12, which is required for features like ray tracing, but means that older Windows support and compatibility with many mods (including popular VR ones) is gone.
The only way to avoid these new versions is to have automatic updates for each game turned off, and the hope that you'll never have to reinstall them again in the future. It's a pity that Capcom hasn't provided the option to at least download the original versions or give users an option for which DirectX version to use as so many other games do.
Resident Evil Village is getting a similar update in October, which also includes the game's first story expansion and new features for its Mercenaries mode, including the ability to play as Lady Dimitrescu.

KANSAS CITY, MO., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey has revealed more than 1 in 3 frontline workers (40%) feel management is "out of touch" with their role based on the communications they receive from HQ.
The YouGov data commissioned by SafetyCulture represents the views of American, British and Australian "frontline workers" – individuals who must "physically show up to their job", including the likes of hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and logistics workers. These frontline workers make up 80% of the global workforce.
The survey revealed:
- More than 1 in 4 frontline workers (32%) don't have time to read or act on HQ communications and more than 1 in 4 (30%) said internal communications get in the way of performing their role and tasks.
- More than 1 in 3 frontline workers agree the communications they receive from HQ are often irrelevant (42%) and not engaging (43%).
- Almost half of the frontline workers (49%) also said they couldn't "put a face to the name" of most HQ team members they communicate with.
Commenting on the data, Bob Butler, Chief Customer Officer at SafetyCulture said, "Given most businesses are dealing with the effects of supply chain issues and labor shortages, communicating with teams on the frontline is more critical than ever. However, frontline workers can be challenging to reach given they aren't always at a desk and often don't have a company email address."
"Many businesses have continued to invest in providing their white-collar workers with high-quality tools and technology for remote communication but enabling the frontline is a blind spot for some organizations. There's a real opportunity to improve in this space, particularly with low-cost mobile-first technology."
Time for a simple 'heads up'?
SafetyCulture is aiming to help improve communication between HQ and the frontline, via a new 'Heads Up' feature in its flagship product, iAuditor. The feature creates a one-stop messaging broadcast center and allows organizations to record short videos or image-based messages and send them out to team members at the click of a button.
SafetyCulture's new mobile-first "Heads Up' feature is available via iAuditor free of charge for teams of up to 10 people.
About the research
All figures are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 1,980 adults (858 US, 553 Australia, 569 UK). Fieldwork was undertaken during April 2022.

Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict future investment results.
Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal.
Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary dividends, long-term capital gains and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2022 for tax reporting purposes will be made after year end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Based on current estimates no portion of the distributions consists of a return of capital. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.

‘Love Island’: UK Fan Favorite Iain Stirling to Narrate USA Version on Peacock
The voice of Love Island USA will be a familiar one to fans of the franchise.
British comedian Iain Stirling is going to expand his role by narrating the American version of the show for the first time. The all-new and even steamier Love Island will premiere on Peacock on Tuesday, July 19 with six episode drops per week.
“The moment the decision was made to bring an all-new version of Love Island to Peacock, we knew we had to get Iain on board,” Jenny Groom, EVP Entertainment Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal said in a statement. “Iain embodies everything fans love about the show – humor, irreverence, and cheeky fun. Love Island would not be the same without him.”
Love Island will be coupling Islanders up in new surroundings to compete in naughtier games and sexier challenges. The Islanders must decide, throughout their stay, if they want to stay with their current partners or “recouple” with someone new while dealing with temptations and drama. And it will be the viewers’ choice who gets another shot at love and who leaves heartbroken and empty-handed. The cast and schedule will be announced at a later date.
The US version of Love Island is produced by ITV Entertainment, an ITV America company. David George, Adam Sher, Simon Thomas, Ben Thursby-Palmer, Andy Cadman, and Mike Espinosa serve as executive producers, as do Tom Gould, Richard Cowles, Mike Spencer, Richard Foster and Chet Fenster.
'Love Island: USA' Sets Premiere Date on Peacock, Promises 'Even Steamier' Version
Stirling is known for voicing the version of Love Island that is currently on air in the UK with its eighth series. He also appeared on Taskmaster and took on the role of host for ITV’s comedy entertainment show CelebAbility. His first stand-up special Failing Upwards recently launched on Prime Video and the sitcom he wrote, created, and stars in Buffering, premiered on ITV2 in 2021.

Michael Jordan is the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets and the most famous athlete from the University of North Carolina. In the latest edition of Revisited, Jordan made arguably the most shocking draft pick in the history of the Hornets franchise in 2009.
The 2009 draft class was filled with great players such as Steph Curry, James Harden and Blake Griffin. However, the then-Bobcats only had the 12th overall pick. They selected Gerald Henderson, a slashing and athletic two-guard who went on to play in Charlotte for six seasons.
However, what made Henderson the most shocking pick made by Jordan? Henderson was a product of Duke, the bitter rival of UNC. He was the first Blue Devils player to get drafted by the Hornets franchise. Here's what Jordan said (h/t Greensboro.com) back then regarding his decision to draft a player from Durham:
"Sometimes it's hard to put those feelings away," Jordan said. "There's something about our blood that makes it very difficult to choose a Duke player. This is a business. Sometimes we have to supersede our feelings."
Henderson played for the Hornets from 2009 to 2015, averaging 12.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists. His best season came in 2013, where he put up 15.5 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 2.6 apg and 1.0 spg in 68 games. He spent a season each in Portland and Philadelphia before retiring in 2017.
How many Duke players have Michael Jordan and Hornets have drafted?
Gerald Henderson was the first Duke player to get drafted by the Charlotte Hornets. Has Michael Jordan changed his stance about Duke? Probably not, but the Hornets have selected two more Blue Devils in the draft.
Frank Jackson was picked 31st overall in 2017 but was traded on the same day to the New Orleans Pelicans. Jackson spent three seasons in New Orleans before signing with the Detroit Pistons in 2020. He's still in Detroit, posting a career-high 10.6 ppg this season.
Meanwhile, the third Duke player drafted by the Hornets is Vernon Carey Jr. The power forward was selected in the second round of the 2020 draft. He was with the Hornets for just one and a half seasons. He was traded to the Washington Wizards in February as part of the Montrezl Harrell deal.
Hornets has two first-round picks in this year's draft
The Charlotte Hornets own two first-round picks in the 2022 NBA draft. They have the 13th and 15th overall selections. The 13th pick is their own pick for this year, while the 15th came from Devonte' Graham's trade to the New Orleans Pelicans.
According to Bryan Kalbrosky of USA Today, the Hornets have several options for the two picks.
He believes Mark Williams of UNC could fit in perfectly for the 15th overall selection. Williams improved his draft stock at the NCAA tournament, filling the Hornets' need for frontcourt players. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-revisited-there-s-something-blood-makes-difficult-choose-duke-player-michael-jordan-selecting-gerald-henderson-2009-nba-draft | 2022-06-15T15:21:53Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-revisited-there-s-something-blood-makes-difficult-choose-duke-player-michael-jordan-selecting-gerald-henderson-2009-nba-draft | false | 1 |

Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday spoke to opposition leaders Mamata Banerjee, Mallikarjun Kharge and Akhilesh Yadav to evolve a consensus for the presidential candidate for the elections on July 18. Sources said the senior BJP leader made calls to these leaders, on a day the opposition held a big meeting to discuss a joint candidate for the polls.
The BJP has authorised Singh and national president JP Nadda to consult with other parties for building consensus on a presidential candidate. The defence minister made calls to Kharge, Banerjee and Yadav besides some other leaders. Opposition leaders asked Singh about BJP-led NDA’s nominee for the presidential election, sources added.
At the opposition meeting, however, two more names — National Conference supremo Farooq Abdullah and Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi — emerged after NCP chief Sharad Pawar declined to be a candidate. The filing of nominations began from Wednesday.

EPL: Campbell lists three reasons Jesus wants to join Arsenal
Former Arsenal striker, Kevin Campbell, has listed three reasons why Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus wants to join the Gunners this summer.
Jesus entered the final year of his contract at Manchester City and is now expected to leave Etihad after the £51 million arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
The Brazilian international has drawn the interest of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Real Madrid, but it is Mikel Arteta’s side that are reportedly leading the race to sign him.
Jesus is said to be a priority signing for the North London club and Campbell believes the 25-year-old could join Arsenal because he knows the manager, the system and wants to be the main man.
“Manchester City wants good money because he’s young, fit and he’s a Brazil international,” Campbell told the Highbury Squad.
“You could say he’s world-class. He starts for Brazil.
“He’s the best pressing striker out there and that’s what Mikel Arteta needs – he’s one of the key pieces that we need.
“Jesus can go and play Champions League football. But he wants to come to Arsenal, one because he knows the manager, two because he knows the system and three, which is the most important thing, he wants to be the main man.” | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/15/epl-campbell-lists-three-reasons-jesus-wants-to-join-arsenal/ | 2022-06-15T15:28:43Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/15/epl-campbell-lists-three-reasons-jesus-wants-to-join-arsenal/ | false | 1 |
Britney Spears is not taking her family’s statements and suppositions lightly!
The 40-year-old pop star took to Instagram on Tuesday and shared a since-deleted new post about her brother, Bryan Spears, following his public statements wishing Britney well following her nuptials to Sam Asghari last week.
Of course, as we reported, Bryan and his girlfriend Amber Lynn Conklin stated on their joint IG earlier this week that they had been forced to miss Britney’s wedding last Thursday to attend the fifth grade continuation ceremony of Bryan’s daughter, Lexie. But the Toxic singer says that’s straight-up BULL S**T!
Related: Britney Is On The Move — Literally — And Getting Close To K-Fed In The Process?!
As in, Bryan was apparently NEVER invited to Spears’ wedding to her hunky man at her crib in the city of Thousand Oaks!
In a lengthy since-scrapped message on the social network, the performer appeared to use her voice to reference a controversy from 2020. That year, her big brother went on a podcast and commented on his little sis’ conservatorship. In his two-year-old interview on the As NOT Seen On TV, the 45-year-old dad spoke about Britney’s then-active legal hold, and said “she can’t even make a dinner reservation” while criticizing her desire for freedom from the court order.
So, in her IG comments this week, Britney finally got her opportunity to clap back! The Baby One More Time singer slammed Bryan for the old podcast comments, first writing:
“Your podcast interview was so SPECIAL!!! … When asked by that incredibly kind man ‘why doesn’t your family just let her be ???’ Your response was … ‘she can’t even make a dinner reservation …’ What you said right there to that man in that interview said everything, Bryan !!!”
The former Mickey Mouse Club star dropped the big statement right after that, adding:
“You were never invited to my wedding so why even respond ???”
Wow!
Sounds pretty definitive to us! Just in case anybody had any questions! So you can add Bryan to the family list of other relatives who weren’t welcome at the wedding, including dad Jamie Spears, mom Lynne Spears, and little sis Jamie Lynn Spears. A clean sweep!
Hilariously, Brit then followed up with a later swipe at Bryan’s old “dinner reservation” allegation:
“Psss I have an assistant to make my dinner reservations … “
LOLz!!
See the full post (below):
Peep those hilar Madonna and Selena Gomez wedding deets!
BTW, while Britney has since deleted that Tuesday IG post slamming Bryan, he has taken action on the social media app, too: as of Wednesday morning, he and Conklin’s joint couples account on the site has been made private. Womp womp!
Also, while Britney was busy calling out Bryan for his evidently-unwelcome wedding commentary, she’s simultaneously making moves behind the scenes. According to TMZ, the new bride has officially canned her security team following the scary event last week where ex Jason Alexander crashed her wedding on the day of the ceremony.
The outlet notes that the singer “recently” made the decision to fire her security detail and “replace them with an all new bunch” following the debacle with Alexander. The move, while certainly understandable, apparently “happened quickly” following Thursday’s scary situation, in which Jason live-streamed himself getting onto Spears’ property while allegedly armed with a knife.
Related: Paris Hilton Turned Down Doing WHAT To Attend Britney’s Wedding?!
As we’ve reported, cops quickly arrested Jason at the scene. On Monday, he was arraigned on charges of vandalism, trespassing, and battery in a Ventura County courthouse. During that arraignment, the judge also added a felony stalking charge to Jason’s docket and granted Britney a three-year-long restraining order against him. So, that’s certainly a relief.
But Brit evidently doesn’t feel comfortable with her security team’s response, and wants a new beginning. And that is completely understandable!! Alexander was able to get onto the property a little too easily.

EL MONTE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say two police officers were shot and killed while investigating a possible stabbing in a Los Angeles suburb.
It happened about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at a motel in the city of El Monte.
Authorities say officers confronted a man in a motel room where shots rang out and the gunman then fled to the parking lot where more gunfire was exchanged. The gunman was shot and died.
The officers who died were described as a veteran with more than two decades of experience and a rookie with less than a year on the job. El Monte's interim police chief called them heroes who died serving their community. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/state/2-southern-california-officers-killed-in-shootout-at-motel | 2022-06-15T15:34:32Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/state/2-southern-california-officers-killed-in-shootout-at-motel | false | null |
‘Tis the season for juicy burgers hot off the grill with a giant helping of cucumber and onion salad on the side.
Is that a sentence you can taste while you read it, or what?
One of the best ways to have a mouth-watering summer is to practice proper food safety. Before you prep that batch of potato salad for your next potluck, let’s review the four food safety steps: clean, separate, cook and chill.
CLEAN: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate almost half of all foodborne illnesses are linked to improper handwashing. Keep your hands clean by washing them with soap and water for 20 full seconds. Next time you wash up, see how close you are to meeting this recommendation–you may be surprised to find your handwashing game needs practice.
The CDC also estimates the germs on fresh produce cause a large number of foodborne illnesses in the U.S. To properly clean your produce, rinse all fresh fruits and vegetables under running water–this includes any fruit with a peel or rind because when you cut through the exterior, you don’t want to bring germs from the outer rind into the edible fruit.
People are also reading…
SEPARATE: Separate raw protein foods including meat, poultry, seafood and eggs from fresh produce and ready-to-eat foods in the kitchen by using separate cutting boards and utensils, in the fridge by placing raw protein foods below fresh produce and ready-to-eat foods, and even separating in the shopping cart.
One of the easiest ways to cross-contaminate is while grilling. Have you ever taken raw burgers out to the grill on a plate, and then brought the fully cooked burgers back to the kitchen on that same plate?
This is a big no-no, and the reason is because the juices from the raw patties may have been contaminated with germs. Grilling the patties is likely to kill any potential germs; however, once they’re placed back on the plate with the raw juices, there’s the potential they could be recontaminated right before eating. When you know better, you can do better.
COOK: The only way to ensure proper internal temperatures are reached is to use a calibrated food thermometer. Be sure to review the correct internal temperature for the food you are preparing prior to starting to cook because different protein foods require different internal temperatures for food safety.
CHILL: Once you’re done eating your delicious, properly cooked meal, focus on cooling leftovers properly as the final step to a food safe summer. This means refrigerating and freezing your food properly. Cooked foods should be refrigerated within 2 hours to maintain proper food safety (or within 1 hour if out in the heat–like at a picnic). Any cooked or prepared food should be eaten or used within 3-4 days.
Avoid thawing food on the countertop. Do your best to plan ahead to let foods thaw completely in the fridge, as this is the safest way to thaw foods. Otherwise, you can thaw under room temperature running water or in the microwave, as long as you will be cooking thoroughly directly after.
Do note that this is not a completely comprehensive list, just a quick summary. If you want to learn more about how to keep food safe and proper internal temperature for various proteins, visit food.unl.edu/food-safety.

Florida Plastic Surgeons Using New Clarius Wireless Ultrasound to Comply with Emergency Order Mandating Ultrasound Guidance for Safer BBL Procedures
A long-term user of Clarius wireless ultrasound to improve patient safety during plastic surgery procedures, Dr. Pat Pazmiño says adding ultrasound guidance is a positive step towards making the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure safer and more accurate.
MIAMI, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarius Mobile Health reports that sales of the new Clarius L7 HD3 wireless scanner to plastic surgeons are soaring following the Florida Board of Medicine's recent approval of an emergency order requiring the use of ultrasound during BBL surgeries to avoid injecting fat into the muscle and reduce the risk of fat embolisms.
The Florida Board of Medicine is responding to an increase in deaths resulting from the popular Brazilian butt lift (BLL) surgery: in the past five years, 19 women have died following their BBL surgery performed in South Florida. The procedure is considered to have one of the highest mortality rates of any cosmetic surgery, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
"I commend the Florida Board of Medicine for recommending the use of ultrasound for BBL procedures; it's a positive step towards making the procedures safer," says Dr. Pat Pazmiño, MD, FACS who has been using ultrasound at his practice for the past nine years and created the ultraBBL™ that combines the latest techniques in aesthetic surgery with ultrasound for the safest outcomes. Dr. Pazmiño hopes that the use of ultrasound will change this once dangerous and blind procedure into a safe and reproducible surgery. "Ultrasound helps us see the anatomy and our instruments clearly in real-time so we can ensure we're placing fat above the muscle safely with millimeter accuracy."
Dr. Pazmiño also uses ultrasound before the procedure to understand how much fat graft can be placed in each patient. If the patient has limited space and wants a large result, he often recommends performing the surgery in stages rather than injecting too much fat in one surgery.
"Each patient's anatomy is different and each patient desires different results," he explains. "I like to prepare the patient before the surgery so they understand the kind of results they can expect. Ultrasound also helps me maximize the amount of fat that will survive by ensuring I put it in the right place."
Dr. Pazmiño currently uses the Clarius L7 HD3 wireless ultrasound, which is considered the leading choice for plastic surgeons due to its affordability, ease of use, and high-resolution imaging powered by artificial intelligence. It is available with a new Advanced Aesthetic Package for physicians who need additional customizations for examinations and procedures in the realm of facial aesthetics, breast augmentation, BBLs, hair follicle imaging, and more.
"It's a crucial advancement in patient care to see organizations like the Florida Board of Medicine and leading physicians like Dr. Pazmiño recognize the value of using ultrasound for safer procedures," says Clarius President, Ohad Arazi. "We're excited to be on the forefront of delivering affordable and easy-to-use ultrasound devices that can enable physicians from every specialty to deliver better outcomes."
Clarius introduced its third-generation line of handheld ultrasound scanners earlier this year. The app-based scanners, which connect wirelessly with an app on Apple and Android phones and tablets, are designed to enable more physicians to use ultrasound. The third-generation devices are now 30% smaller, lighter, and more affordable.
"With a little bit of training, I think anyone who has ever used an iPhone or an iPad will intuitively know how to use this," says Dr. Marc Salzman, a plastic surgeon based in Louisville, Kentucky who has been using Clarius ultrasound to ensure safer surgical procedures for over five years. "Clarius HD3 is like holding your iPhone; it's so small and light. There are no complicated knobs and buttons. You simply use the functions of your smart device such as swiping, pinching, and zooming and the AI does the rest. I don't know how you do a practice like mine without it."
Dr. Pazmiño is presenting a webinar with Clarius on July 14, 2022, to provide free education for plastic surgeons looking to use ultrasound for safer, more accurate BBL procedures. Physicians are invited to register on the Clarius website for the live webinar "Ultrasound Guidance for Safe Brazilian Butt Lifts: Precision BBL Techniques from the Expert."

CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) — Global toy manufacturer the LEGO Group plans to invest more than $1 billion to construct a new precision manufacturing facility in suburban Richmond, Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Wednesday.
The factory, expected to open in 2025, will feature a carbon-neutral design and will employ more than 1,760 people, according to a news release.
“The LEGO Group’s decision to establish its U.S. manufacturing plant in Virginia shines a global spotlight on the advantages that make the Commonwealth the best business location in the nation, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership with this iconic company,” Youngkin said in a statement.
The Virginia factory will be the LEGO Group’s seventh factory globally and the second in the Americas, joining a site in Mexico, according to a company news release. The 1.7 million-square-foot Virginia facility will mold, process and pack LEGO products and ensure they meet the company’s safety and quality requirements.
It will be located in a publicly owned industrial park in Chesterfield County, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Richmond near Interstate 95. All of its day-to-day energy needs will be matched by renewable energy generated by an onsite solar park, the company pledged.
“We were impressed with all that Virginia has to offer, from access to a skilled workforce, support for high-quality manufacturers, and great transport links," Niels Christiansen, CEO of the family-owned company headquartered in Billund, Denmark, said in a statement. “We appreciate support for our ambition to build a carbon-neutral run facility and construct a solar park and are looking forward to building a great team.”
The company will be eligible for a range of taxpayer-funded incentives, including a performance-based grant of $56 million and site development improvements subject to legislative approval estimated to cost up to $19 million, a news release said.
Construction is expected to commence this fall and a temporary packaging site will open in an existing building nearby in early 2024, creating up to 500 jobs, according to the company's news release. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Virginia-lands-LEGO-factory-in-suburban-Richmond-17243243.php | 2022-06-15T15:43:49Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Virginia-lands-LEGO-factory-in-suburban-Richmond-17243243.php | false | 19 |

(NewsNation) — A lack of tampons is the latest shortage grabbing attention, especially as other period products are also getting more expensive.
Time magazine first reported on what it said has been a monthslong tampon shortage in June, noting that a forum for DC-area moms and Reddit both had stories from people not being able to find them. The author of the article described seeing shelves bare of tampons in New York, Massachusetts and California.
One organization Time spoke to, I Support the Girls, which provides menstrual hygiene for people experiencing homelessness, said they’ve received only half as many tampons as they did this time last year.
Many goods have been in short supply since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as supply chains were disrupted and inflation has caused material to become more expensive. Andre Schulten, the chief financial officer of Procter & Gamble, which manufactures Tampax, said on a recent earnings call that it has been “costly and highly volatile” to acquire the raw materials, such as cotton and plastic, that tampons are made of, according to The New York Times. A representative for the company acknowledged that this issue can be frustrating for consumers, and told the newspaper that this is a “temporary situation.”
When it comes to period products, tampons are not the only option. But other menstrual products are getting costly, and might not be optimal for everyone.
One go-to period alternative: pads. These can give people with vulvar conditions significant discomfort and irritation, however, and keep people from engaging in activities including swimming,according to the Times.
Another option some go for is period underwear that uses absorbent materials. But as The New York Times noted, some popular brands go for $30 to $40 a pair, and they cannot be put in a dryer. Menstrual cups can collect blood for hours at a time, although as experts interviewed in The New York Times said, they can take some trial and error to use.
Overall, no products have been safe from the effects of record-high inflation. Using data from NielsenIQ, Bloomberg reported that the average price for menstrual pads went up by 8.3%, while tampons were up 9.8% for the year through May 28.
For some, it has always been hard to afford period products: a study from U by Kotex found that two out of five people who menstruate say they have struggled to purchase period supplies due to lack of income.
“It has been an issue for many years,” said Jennifer Gaines, program director for the Alliance for Period Supplies. “With the inflation and the higher costs for these products, it’s just putting an extra burden on these people that have already been struggling.”
Some online noted that news of the tampon shortage comes as the country is also in the midst of a baby formula shortage, making life difficult for women, particularly mothers. And 25 states charge sales tax on period products, according to the Alliance for Period Supplies, which supports a network of 120 organizations that collect necessities such as period products for people living in poverty.
Often, the alliance said, these items are taxed and treated as “luxury items,” not basic necessities.
Getting menstrual products to those who need them is important because not having them affects people’s incomes, and their education, if they can’t go to work or school, Gaines said. Not having products is an emotional burden, as well, causing people to feel stressed and embarrassed, especially as there is already a stigma around poverty, she added.
“Periods happen. It’s a natural thing that happens every month for a lot of people in this country,” she said. “These basic necessities are very important for people to continue on with their lives.”
For those unable to afford period products, Gaines suggests calling 211, or going to 211.org, a service from the United Way that can help people find resources. People can also reach out to local food banks, and Alliance for Period Supplies has a list of organizations on its website that people can contact for assistance.
Although it may be tempting, it might not be a good idea to use an old box of tampons, especially if you’re not sure how old they are. According to Tampax, tampons can expire after five years, with bacteria and small particles of mold sometimes growing in them. In addition, using reusable tampons is discouraged by the Food and Drug Administration, as they have not been approved, and could carry risks of infections such as yeast, fungal and bacterial infections. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/tampons-are-getting-more-expensive-and-harder-to-find-why/ | 2022-06-15T15:46:09Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/tampons-are-getting-more-expensive-and-harder-to-find-why/ | false | 25 |

Graduates pushing trolleys to survive – Mthatha youngsters make a plan as unemployment soars
In Mthatha, where work is incredibly scarce, young graduates are pushing trolleys at shopping centres for a living as they struggle to find jobs and access the R350 Social Relief of Distress grant.
At Mthatha’s busy shopping centres young people who can’t find jobs are pushing trolleys to survive.
One of them, Akhona Mahlangeni, who has been unable to find a job for the past eight years, said: “The money that I get here is used to buy food for my family and for myself. All of us are unemployed. Some of us, who work with the trolleys, are well educated but we are not getting jobs.”
Aviwe Marhawula, who works with him, said he only received the R350 grant for three months.
“Things are worse now,” he said. “When we got the R350 grant we had to pay the Post Office officials R50 otherwise they would kick us out of the queue. I stopped applying for the grant. It was too painful. It is better to work with the trolleys than to have to pay them R50 all the time.
“We are not all criminals, but because of being unemployed we decided to push trolleys for people. Our mothers are not working and we need to assist them.”
Mbasa Nyebe (22), who obtained a diploma in public management in 2021 from the King Sabata Dalindyebo TVET College, said being unemployed is incredibly difficult. Some of his fellow graduates had committed suicide, while others had turned to crime because they could see no other way out.
“Since the beginning of this year I have been knocking on the doors of different departments, looking for work. There is no response for now, it’s hard. I am not coping. Imagine going to school for years, paying school fees and then when you obtain your diploma you cannot get a job. This is depressing and the government needs to listen to us as young people to create more job opportunities for youth and there are only a few posts available every year,” he said.
“Almost all of us who did the public management course are unemployed because the government creates only two or three posts a year.”
Another unemployed graduate, Zipho Xuba, obtained her diploma in 2020. She said she wanted President Cyril Ramaphosa to place emphasis on unemployment during his speech this Thursday when he is expected to visit Mthatha.
Eso Bofu (23), who is from Mandela Park in Mthatha and who had been receiving the R350 grant, said young people in rural areas are being neglected.
“There are no job opportunities in Mthatha and in addition they decided to stop giving us the R350. It has been three months since I last received a grant.”
The grant had helping her pay rent for her brother who is in Grade 12 at Gobizizwe Senior Secondary School in Ncise, outside Mthatha.
Youth activist Bandile Michael Ncoyini said unemployment among young people was “unbelievably high” across the Eastern Cape.
Over the past 28 years the government had been promising to change the lives of the young people in the country, but in reality only a few had managed to access government services.
“Youth unemployment has been and still is a problem in Mthtata and in the Eastern Cape province, and this has caused a huge number of our young people to opt for crime, drug abuse and violence,” he said.
“I personally think that access to quality education is the only answer for dealing with the high youth unemployment. Yes, in the past years young people have been granted access to education, but after completing their studies they sit at home because they have no place to go and get employed and that is where the government is failing the youth of this country.”
Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane said this week in a written answer to questions from the DA in the provincial legislature that the expanded unemployment rate in the Eastern Cape is 80.7% for those aged between 15 and 24. For 25- to 34-year-olds it was 62.7%.
The provincial unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds stood at 73.4%, and 56.5% for those between 25 and 34.
However, the expanded rate of unemployment (including those who no longer look for work) was 80.7% for those up to the age of 25 and 62.7% for those younger than 34.
The latest available statistics are for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Mabuyane said that owing to concerns about the quality of data, the province’s unemployment rates could be refined for specific metros and rural areas.
He said 25,154 jobs had been created in the 2020/21 financial year. The bulk (19,176) were in the Coega Special Economic Zone in Nelson Mandela Bay, 4,492 were in the industrial zone in East London, while 1,486 had been created by the Eastern Cape Development Corporation. DM/MC

A mum and daughter who earn up to £100-a-minute posing together on OnlyFans have hit back at trolls who slate their job.
Ellie, 20, and 39-year-old mum Jema Gilsenan pose together as Mckenzie Bleu and Princess Levi on the saucy platform.
The pair insist there is nothing sexual about their work and have built a massive online following by working together.
Mum Jema insists they "don't take off their clothes" as Ellie treats it "like a normal job".
Specialising in the niche content, the duo have made fetish clips.
One lad even paid £1,000 for a five-minute clip of them eating chocolate mousse in lingerie.
The pair, who live in Kent, say they are making too much money to consider another career.
Ellie said: "Obviously we are mother and daughter and people will think it is a bit wrong but we are not doing anything wrong.
"People might think it is weird but there is nothing sexual about what we do together.
"We have a collection of guys we do content for together – including one where we have to eat chocolate mousse together."
She added: "We get £500 each for a five minute video of us eating it in lingerie, we won't do anything weird or illegal.
"I get why people might think it is weird, but we are not breaking laws or OnlyFans guidelines.
"It's just like a normal job for me and my mum, and the money is just too good to turn down.
"It's crazy I can't ever see myself having another career, you wont get this money anywhere else."
Ellie was inspired as her mum was a glamour model, posing for Page 3 and appearing on Babestation.
She needed to kick-start her career as lockdown hit in 2020.
Her mum helped her out by promoting her page and then Ellie convinced her that they should work together.
Since launching the unusual career, the pair have been inundated with requests, making as many as 13 videos a day.
And Ellie's dad is supportive of their career, although he doesn't like it when she posts risqué pictures to Facebook.
And mum Jema says it can sometimes be a bit of a strain.
She said: "It can be a bit weird as a mum when someone says something about her in a chat.
"I just think OMG you're talking about my daughter and I have to smile through gritted teeth."

She added: "Ellie's dad is cool about it. Although if she puts a Facebook profile with lingerie picture up he'll send her a message.
"He's got a lot of respect. His family allowed me a load of freedom when I was working for Babestation and Page 3.
"Everyone knows us around here and I don't really care what they say.
"We do wear underwear or a sexy little dress but we don't do anything nude, we don't take off our clothes. That would be weird." | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/real-life/mum-daughter-earn-1k-five-27243884 | 2022-06-15T15:55:07Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/real-life/mum-daughter-earn-1k-five-27243884 | false | 1 |

An Igbo socio-cultural think tank, Nzuko Umunna, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend the June 30 deadline for continuous voter registration to enable all eligible Nigerians to register and be able to vote during elections.
A statement signed by the group’s Executive Secretary, Ngozi Odumuko, yesterday, said the call became imperative following the unprecedented turnout of Nigerians in the last one week, especially the youth in various states across the federation for the exercise.
It stressed that if INEC goes ahead with its plan to suspend voter registration on 30 June with the current turnout of people who want to register in different states, a lot of the citizens would be left unregistered and subsequently, disenfranchised during the 2023 elections.
The group commended the massive turnout of Nigerians for the exercise, saying it was a positive development for the country’s democracy as it signifies increasing interest of the citizens to participate in the electoral process.
According to the group, the development should be encouraged by the electoral management body and all political stakeholders in the country.
Nzuko Umunna also commended various religious, civil society groups and individuals of all walks of life, who, since the voter registration exercise began, have been encouraging the citizens to register and be able to vote during elections. “Some churches and other groups have gone further to offer their buildings to INEC to serve as temporal registration centers, while a good number of people in different states have also assisted with logistics to help fasten the registration process for the citizens,” the group noted.
The group also commended INEC for deploying additional 209 registration machines to Lagos, Kano and states in the South East, where large turnout of unregistered voters was noticed.
Nzuko Umunna urged the commission to ensure that all Nigerians who visit registration centres were given the opportunity to register in all parts of the country, where they reside, no matter their tribe or religious affiliation as voting during elections is one of the civic obligations of every eligible citizen.
The group also urged INEC to provide security in places where hoodlums are likely to disrupt the exercise, and also to deploy more personnel for effective coverage and delivery of the exercise. “The Commission should also deploy more personnel and registration machines to registration centres where there is large turnout of unregistered voters, to fasten the process and avoid keeping people stranded and discouraged to continue with the exercise,” it noted. | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/group-tasks-inec-on-extension-of-voter-registration-deadline-2/ | 2022-06-15T15:55:48Z | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/group-tasks-inec-on-extension-of-voter-registration-deadline-2/ | false | 2 |

The goalkeeper spent two seasons on loan at Bramall Lane from Manchester United, effectively earning a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad on the back of his displays for the Blades after first helping them into the top flight, before securing a ninth-placed Premier League finish.
Henderson’s return to Old Trafford was a major factor in United’s second-season struggle, which saw them relegated back to the Championship, while a combination of Covid-19 and injury, plus a return to form for David De Gea, have stunted the player’s development.
A possible route to first-team football again may be found by a loan-to-move to the newly-promoted Forest, who beat United in the play-off semi-finals en route to the Premier League.
Reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano reported today that Henderson is open to the move, with an option to make it permanent mooted for a £20m fee – which would, based on Henderson’s performances for the Blades and considering the current, inflated state of football finances, seem a very reasonable fee indeed.
It’s likely that the player would have to sacrifice something on the wage front if he joined Forest permanently, with Henderson thought to earn in the region of six figures per week at Old Trafford.
But playing first-team football has always been the priority for Henderson ever since he first went to Old Trafford and if United were still a Premier League club – and the player was willing to compromise on his salary to fit in with the wage structure at Bramall Lane - spending £20m to bring Henderson back to a place he was adored would have surely be within their reach ... and represent superb value, too.
Instead, with the Blades condemned to another season in the Championship and their former star man seemingly on the move this summer, United will likely see Henderson flourish somewhere else – and wonder, not for the first time, what may have been. | https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/nottingham-forests-ps20m-dean-henderson-links-leave-sheffield-united-wondering-what-may-have-been-3733174 | 2022-06-15T16:08:28Z | https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/nottingham-forests-ps20m-dean-henderson-links-leave-sheffield-united-wondering-what-may-have-been-3733174 | false | 1 |
India football coach Igor Stimac slams AIFF after historic Asian Cup qualification - here's why
India's qualification was sealed ahead of their final league match against Hong Kong on Tuesday when Palestine registered a 4-0 win against Philippines in a Group B game in Mongolia. Stimac's side celebrated its qualification with an emphatic 4-0 win over Hong Kong later in the day.

Indian football team head coach Igor Stimac has lashed out at the messy state of affairs grappling the national federation (AIFF), a day after his side qualified for AFC Asian Cup for the second consecutive time. The AIFF is currently run by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) after the Praful Patel-led federation was found to have violated the National Sports Code.
While an immediate suspension by FIFA because of third-party intervention is out of cards, Stimac questioned the timing of the issue, which has cast a shadow on India's qualification for a prestigious tournament like the AFC Asian Cup.
''For such an important tournament, was this the time to do this? Was anybody thinking how that could affect the dressing room and the players?'' Stimac asked, referring to AIFF's current state of affairs.

''I am not getting into who is right and who is wrong. It is not my job. I am just talking about timing. At such an important time, such a thing is happening, is anyone normal?'' ''Nothing would have happened if they were waiting for three more weeks after having waited so many years,'' he said.
The 54-year-old, whose contract has been extended till September, also minced no words when asked about his future. ''We had no time to talk about contracts. We don't even have a board. Nobody thought about how that drama could affect the players,'' the Croatian said.
India's qualification was sealed ahead of their final league match against Hong Kong on Tuesday when Palestine registered a 4-0 win against Philippines in a Group B game in Mongolia. Stimac's side celebrated its qualification with an emphatic 4-0 win over Hong Kong later in the day as it finished with three wins to top group D -- their best ever campaign.

Stimac further pointed out that he came to India for a ''less salary'' when he had multiple offers in hand.
''The players are trying to save my job. I came here for less salary than what was my market price. I had offers from others for better-paid jobs than I saw in India. The coach was never the problem in this country, you should talk about other problems,'' he said.
''We look into the future where we want to be. We want to be in every Asian Cup and we also want to compete strongly for the World Cup Qualifiers, which was clearly said at the beginning of my term,'' Stimac said.
''Be it AIFF or the government. Beware of the Indian national team. We represent India, if there are ambitions in the country to think where we can be, they must follow our motto,'' he said.
India began their campaign with a 2-0 win over Cambodia and then secured a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Afghanistan. The icing on the cake came when they swept aside table leaders Hong Kong 4-0 to qualify as group toppers.

Stimac further laid out his conditions to stay here, saying he would like to make the I-League a breeding ground for Indian football. ''In the Indian Super League there is already the 3+1 rule. But we need to reduce foreigners altogether from the I-League going forward if we want to go forward,'' he said.
''I need players playing as strikers or forwards and centre-backs. I need reasons why there is a need for foreigners in the I-League. I'd give you 100 reasons why there is no need for foreigners in the I-League.
''Some things will need to change drastically. In the future, if I am here, the league will need to stop when I say, for as many days as I think is needed for the national team to prepare to go higher,'' he said.
''And players who are chosen by us, they will have to play at the clubs... We are eight to 10 years late in our development programme -- eight to 10 years behind the top eight Asian countries. How are we going to get there? So let's wake up,'' he signed off.

Focusing on the high rates of the last available hotel rooms could do reputational damage to Ireland’s tourism industry, hotelier representatives have told a committee.
Tim Fenn, CEO of the Irish Hotels Federation, told the Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media that there was a need to grow the supply of hotels in Dublin.
“The key challenge for us is that at the moment, Dublin doesn’t have enough supply. Dublin is a really, really attractive city. There’s great value in Dublin.
“But the problem is, is we’ve come to a stage where there’s going to be nights, particularly for maybe some of these football matches, some of these big concerts, where Dublin hasn’t got the capacity to deal with it,” he said.
TD Christopher O’Sullivan and Senator Malcolm Byrne said that they did not accept the high hotel prices was down to a lack of supply.
When asked by O’Sullivan whether extortionate prices in Dublin are doing reputational damage to the rest of the country, Mr Fenn said: “The focus on the last available rates is very risky, because that in itself creates reputational damage.”
Eoghan O’Mara Walsh, CEO of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation, said that some of the hotel prices cited by committee members were too high, but were not reflective of the average hotel price.
“I think they are excessive, I wouldn’t be purchasing them. But I don’t think they’re reflective of the wider industry.
“It’s interesting when you said you looked online and found six properties tonight in Dublin, there’s possibly 22,000 bedrooms in Dublin.
“Which I think is a sign that Dublin is full tonight,” he said.
The committee heard that pent-up demand post-pandemic, deferred bookings, and consumer savings have contributed to a surge in demand for tourism services.
Mr Fenn said that there is “significant value” across Irish hotels, and said that “the challenge we have is a lack of supply”.
“The challenge we have is that because there’s a lack of supply, when you get down to those last few rooms, they’re going to cost a lot more than you might want.
“We’re hoping that by the end of 2024 there might be another 5,000 rooms coming into the market, and maybe more again. But that’s the real issue here.”
Denyse Campbell, President of the Irish Hotels Federation, said that “pent up demand is huge”, and that the issue was there is a “total lack of supply”.
“As we approached June 2022, we had 80% of business done. So 80% of 44 hotels in Dublin.
“In 2019, that was 65%. So already there’s pressure on the capacity in Dublin.”
The committee also heard that 45% of the tour bus are bookings that were made and deferred from 2020 and 2021.
Sinn Fein TD Imelda Munster said Dublin was charging “extortionate” “rip-off” hotel room rates compared to other European cities.
She said that the cheapest room for one night on the second week in July in Dublin was for €379 with no breakfast. This compares to a four-star hotel in Madrid at €120, four-star in Lisbon at €141, Paris was €147 and Amsterdam was €141.
“You’re going to drive people out. The huge reputational damage that you’re doing to this country as a value for money destination is vast. You’re not thinking in the long term.
“And domestic tourism that did support you, when you were pleading for help and support, they’re not going to forget.”
Senator Micheál Carrigy suggested that legislation might be needed to prevent prices from being increased when big events are on in the capital city.
“If a hotel bed on a Saturday night in September is 150 euro for a night and then Bruce Springsteen announces a concert, and that bed then goes to €350, that’s not right.
“And maybe we need to look at legislation that will stop that.”
Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin criticised high prices for car rentals as “economic treason”.
“I think at this stage it has got so bad that we’re going to have to do the equivalent of AirBnB for car rental,” he said.
The committee heard that an average of 40% of Ireland’s annual holiday visitors need cars to get around the country, and that high car-rental prices would be “detrimental” to the revival of the tourism sector post-pandemic.
Paul Kelly, CEO of Fáilte Ireland, told the committee that this was what he was “most worried about”.
He said that high VAT and VRT rates are making the car rental model “exceptionally more expensive”, and that the industry has fed back to him that if there is not a change in that tax model, “it’s still not going to be economical for car rental companies to significantly increase their seasonal stock”.
“We’re in incredibly uncertain times, and although it’s looking rosy now for the next few months, there’s a lot of concern around quarter four this year, a lot of concern around next year’s bookings because it’s just so uncertain.”

Buffalo supermarket shooting suspect charged with federal hate crimes
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The white gunman who killed 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket was charged Wednesday with federal hate crimes and could face the death penalty if convicted.
The criminal complaint filed Wednesday against Payton Gendron coincided with a visit to Buffalo by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The attorney general was expected to address the federal charges and meet with the families of the people who were killed.
Garland placed a bouquet of white flowers tied with a yellow ribbon at a memorial to the victims outside the store, which has been shuttered since the attack.
Gendron was already facing a mandatory life sentence without parole if convicted on previously filed state charges in the May 14 rampage at Tops Friendly Market.
The federal hate crimes case is based partly on documents in which Gendron laid out his radical, racist worldview and extensive preparation for the attack, some of which he posted online shortly before he started shooting.
FBI agents executing a search warrant at Gendron’s home the day after the shooting found a note in which he apologized to his family for the shooting and stated that he “had to commit this attack” because he cares “for the future of the White race,” according to an affidavit filed with the criminal complaint.
Agents at the Conklin, New York home also found a receipt for a candy bar purchased from the supermarket on March 8, the day Gendron said in an online diary he went to scout out the store, as well as hand drawn sketches of the store’s layout, the affidavit said.
The affidavit also includes detailed accounts of Gendron’s plot to attack the store, which he documented in detail in an online diary, and the attack itself, which he live streamed on social media.
In his writings, Gendron embraced a baseless conspiracy theory about a plot to diminish white Americans’ power and “replace” them with people of color, through immigration and other means.
The posts detail months of reconnaissance, demographic research and shooting practice for a bloodbath aimed at scaring everyone who isn’t white and Christian into leaving the country.
Gendron drove more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) from his home in a nearly all-white town near the New York-Pennsylvania border to a predominantly Black part of Buffalo. There, authorities say, he fired approximately 60 shots at shoppers and workers using an AR-15-style rifle, wearing body armor to protect himself and livestreaming the carnage from a helmet-mounted camera.
Three wounded people — one Black, two white — survived the attack.
Gendron’s rifle had writings on it, including the names of other people who’ve committed mass shootings, racial slurs and statements such as, “Here’s your reparations!”, and a reference to the replacement theory, the affidavit said.
The 18-year-old surrendered to police as he exited the supermarket.
He has pleaded not guilty to a state domestic terrorism charge, including hate-motivated domestic terrorism and murder.
The case is likely to present a quandary for Garland, who has vowed to aggressively prioritize the prosecutions of civil rights cases but also instituted a moratorium on federal executions last year after an unprecedented run of capital punishment at the end of the Trump administration.
The moratorium put in place in July 2021 halts the Bureau of Prisons from carrying out any executions. But the memo does not prohibit federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, a decision that ultimately will fall to Garland. The Biden administration has previously asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the Boston Marathon bomber’s original death sentence.
Federal executions have been halted as the Justice Department conducts a review of its policies and procedures for capital punishment. The review, which is ongoing, comes after 13 people were executed at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana between July 2020 and January 2021.
President Joe Biden has said he opposes the death penalty and his team vowed that he would take action to stop its use while in office.
Ten days after the attack in Buffalo, another 18-year-old with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school, killing 19 children and two teachers.
Soon after, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed 10 public safety-related bills, including one prohibiting New Yorkers under age 21 from buying semi-automatic rifles and another that revised the state’s “red flag” law, which allows courts to temporarily take away guns from people who might be a threat to themselves or others.
The U.S. Senate followed on June 12 with a bipartisan agreement on more modest federal gun curbs and stepped-up efforts to improve school safety and mental health programs.

Ex-Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to join White House
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the appointment of former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms as a top adviser, filling a key White House role at a politically important time in the runup to November elections that could determine the fate of the his agenda.
Bottoms will become director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, adding the advice and counsel of a Black woman to Biden’s inner circle. She succeeds Cedric Richmond, a former Louisiana congressman who in April left for a senior role at the Democratic National Committee.
Bottoms joins at a challenging time for the White House, with Biden’s public approval rating at the lowest of his presidency while consumer prices and the cost of gasoline keeps rising, factors that are complicating Democrats’ chances of retaining control of Congress in the November midterm elections.
Biden, in a statement Wednesday, praised Bottoms’ stewardship of her city through the pandemic, a summer of protests following the police killings of unarmed Black men, and through a mass shooting that targeted Asian Americans, killing six women.
“Mayor Bottoms understands that democracy is about making government work for working families, for the people who are the backbone in this country,” he said. “Keisha is bright, honorable, tough and has the integrity required to represent our administration to the American public.”
In her new role, Bottoms will be in regular touch with a range of constituency groups at the local, state and national levels, bringing their feedback to the president.
Bottoms, 52, was an early supporter of Biden’s presidential bid, and was considered as a possible running mate before Biden added then-Sen. Kamala Harris to the ticket.
Bottoms stunned Georgia’s political establishment in 2021 when she announced she wouldn’t run for reelection, amid a spike in homicides and strife over a police officer shooting a man in a fast food parking lot in 2020. Bottoms became the first Atlanta mayor since World War II to not seek a second term.
She told reporters she had been thinking about limiting herself to one four-year term since shortly after she was elected in 2017, saying she was listening to the “divine voice that lives inside each of us.”
Bottoms left the mayor’s office in January 2022 and became a CNN commentator.

Now, I don't know about you but when I think of a 'quiff', I picture a short pixie cut hair 'do (shoutout to my mum) with a sweeping gelled-up-to-the-Gods fringe. Either that or I think of Justin Bieber circa 2012, Miley Cyrus circa 2013 or even P!nk circa... well... every year. That said, Khloe Kardashian's latest hairstyle is giving us all the JB 'All That Matters' music video flashbacks (now THOSE were the days), but with less crop and more volume and length. Actually... perhaps it's just the height of the hair that reminds me of Justin. Nevertheless, it's very chic, trust me.
Miley and P¡nk, move along, for it's not only the short-haired girlies (and guys) who can pull off a quiff. In fact, Khloe rocked the style back at the 2022 Met Gala with a wet-look waved comb-over. Though, I'm not doing it justice in my description, so just see it here, please.
Of course, quiffs are everywhere at the moment and one was even sported by none other than our favourite pretend onscreen journalist, Andy Sachs, aka Anne Hathaway. Just last week, the actor rock the same style for a feature in Variety magazine and it gave us all the Hollywood glam blowout vibes.
However today, it's not Anne's 'do we're lurving, but KoKo's yet again. In an Instagram post shared by her go-to celebrity hairstylist, Andrew Fitzsimons, Khloe is sporting the exact style Anne wore – a big bouncy blowout.
In the video reel, Andrew shows us how he touches up the Good American founder's hair whilst Ash K Holm, Khloe's MUA and Andrew's right-hand woman, finishes off her glam. Go team!
To keep Khloe's deep-parted combover waved fringe (cor, that's a mouthful) in place all day, Andrew uses his very own Hard Strong Hold Hairspray, £9. But quiff aside, the rest of her locks have been styled in gorgeous bouncy curls.
Ahhh, to have a glam squad on speed dial... Andrew? Ash? Me next, please...?

WASHINGTON — Inflation is at a 40-year high. Stock prices are sinking. The Federal Reserve is making borrowing much costlier. And the economy actually shrank in the first three months of this year.
Is the United States at risk of enduring another recession, just two years after emerging from the last one?
For now, most economists don’t foresee a downturn in the near future. Despite the inflation squeeze, consumers — the primary driver of the economy — are still spending at a healthy pace. Businesses are investing in equipment and software, reflecting a positive outlook. And the job market is still booming, with hiring strong, layoffs low and many employers eager for more workers.
“Nothing in the U.S. data is currently suggesting a recession is imminent,” Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote Tuesday. “Job growth remains strong and households are still spending.
That said, Farooqi cautioned, “the economy faces headwinds.”
Among the signs that recession risks are rising: High inflation has proved far more entrenched and persistent than many economists — and the Fed — had expected: Consumer prices rose 8.6% last month from a year earlier, the biggest annual 12-month jump since 1981. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated global food and energy prices. Extreme lockdowns in China over COVID-19 worsened supply shortages.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has vowed to do whatever it might take to curb inflation, including raising interest rates so high as to weaken the economy. If that happens, the Fed could potentially trigger a recession, perhaps in the second half of next year, economists say.
On Wednesday, the Fed is set to raise its benchmark interest rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, by as much as three-quarter of a percentage point. That would be the Fed’s largest rate hike since 1994, and it could herald the start of a period of especially aggressive credit tightening by the central bank — and with it, a higher risk of recession.
Analysts say the U.S. economy, which has thrived for years on the fuel of ultra-low borrowing costs, might not be able to withstand the impact of much higher rates.
The nation’s unemployment rate is at a near-half-century low of 3.6%, and employers are posting a near record number of open jobs. Yet even an economy with a healthy labor market can eventually suffer a recession if borrowing becomes costlier and consumers and businesses put a brake on spending.
How would the Fed’s rate hikes weaken the economy?
Higher loan rates are sure to slow spending in areas that require consumers to borrow, with housing the most visible example. The average rate on 30-year fixed mortgages topped 5% in April for the first time in a decade and has stayed there since. A year ago, the average was below 3%.
Home sales have fallen in response. And so have mortgage applications, a sign that sales will keep slowing. A similar trend could occur in other markets, for cars, appliances and furniture, for example.
How is spending affected?
Borrowing costs for businesses are rising, as reflected in increased yields on corporate bonds. At some point, those higher rates could weaken business investment. If companies pull back on buying new equipment or expanding capacity, they will also start to slow hiring. Rising caution among companies and consumers about spending freely could further slow hiring or even lead to layoffs. If the economy were to lose jobs and the public were to grow more fearful, consumers would pull back further on spending.
Does a sinking stock market hurt the economy?
Falling stock prices may discourage affluent households, who collectively hold the bulk of America’s stock wealth, from spending as much on vacation travel, home renovations or new appliances. Broad stock indexes have tumbled for weeks. Falling share prices also tend to diminish the ability of corporations to expand. Wage growth, adjusted for inflation, would slow and leave Americans with even less purchasing power. Though a weaker economy would eventually reduce inflation, until then high prices could hinder consumer spending. Eventually, the slowdown would feed on itself, with layoffs mounting as economic growth slowed, leading consumers to increasingly cut back out of concern that they, too, might lose their jobs.
What are signs of an impending recession?
The clearest signal that a recession might be nearing, economists say, would be a steady rise in job losses and a surge in unemployment. As a rule of thumb, an increase in the unemployment rate of three-tenths of a percentage point, on average over the previous three months, has meant that a recession will eventually follow.
Any other signals to watch for?
Many economists also monitor changes in the interest payments, or yields, on different bonds for a recession signal known as an “inverted yield curve.” This occurs when the yield on the 10-year Treasury falls below the yield on a short-term Treasury, such as the 3-month T-bill. That is unusual, because longer-term bonds typically pay investors a richer yield in exchange for tying up their money for a longer period.
Inverted yield curves generally mean that investors foresee a recession and will compel the Fed to slash rates. Inverted curves often predate recessions. Still, it can take as long as 18 or 24 months for the downturn to arrive after the yield curve inverts. A short-lived inversion occurred Tuesday, when the yield on the two-year Treasury briefly fell below the 10-year yield as it did temporarily in April. Many analysts say, though, that comparing the 3-month yield to the 10-year has a better recession-forecasting track record. Those rates are not inverting now.
Powell has said the Fed’s goal was to raise rates to cool borrowing and spending so that companies would reduce their huge number of job openings. In turn, Powell hopes, companies won’t have to raise pay as much, thereby easing inflation pressures, but without significant job losses or an outright recession.
“I do expect that this will be very challenging,” Powell said. ‘It’s not going to be easy.”
Though economists say it’s possible for the Fed to succeed, most now also say they’re skeptical that the central bank can tame such high inflation without eventually derailing the economy.
Deutsche Bank economists think the Fed will have to raise its key rate to at least 3.6% by mid-2023, enough to cause a recession by the end of that year.
Still, many economists say any recession would likely be mild. American families are in much better financial shape than they were before the extended 2008-2009 Great Recession, when plunging home prices and lost jobs ruined many households’ finances.

US expected to send $1 billion more in aid to Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is expected to announce Wednesday that it will send about $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, the largest single tranche of weapons and equipment since the war began, in a effort to help stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region, U.S. officials said.
According to officials, the aid is expected to include anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on now. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet made public.
The aid comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin convened a meeting in Brussels of more than 45 nations to discuss support for Ukraine. At the start of the meeting, Austin warned that the West must step up weapons deliveries to Ukraine and prove its commitment to helping the country’s military fight along a 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line in a grinding war of attrition with Russia.
And he urged the participating nations to demonstrate “our unwavering determination to get Ukraine the capabilities that it urgently needs to defend itself.”
“We must intensify our shared commitment to Ukraine’s self-defense, and we must push ourselves even harder to ensure that Ukraine can defend itself, its citizens and its territory,” he said.
The meeting, also attended by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, came on the opening day of a two-day gathering of NATO defense ministers at the alliance’s headquarters.
Increased arms supplies can’t come soon enough for the Ukrainian forces battling to keep Russia from taking control of their country’s industrial east after more than 3½ months of war.
In his nightly address to the nation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pleaded Tuesday for more and faster deliveries of Western arms, specifically asking for anti-missile defense systems.
Austin told the Brussels meeting he was grateful for all the military aid the nations already have shipped or pledged to Ukraine, but cautioned that “we can’t afford to let up and we can’t lose steam. The stakes are too high.”
The formal NATO meeting was set to open later Wednesday with a dinner where ministers also will discuss Sweden and Finland’s applications to join the trans-Atlantic military alliance.
The meeting, less two weeks before a summit of NATO leaders in Madrid, comes with Kyiv imploring the West to send more and heavier weapons to help fend off Russia’s onslaught in eastern Ukraine.
“Allies are committed to continue providing the military equipment that Ukraine needs to prevail, including heavy weapons and long-range systems,” said Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary-general.
He added that Zelenskyy would be invited to address the June 29-30 Madrid summit, either in person or by videoconference.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said Tuesday that the invaded nation’s military had received only around 10% of the Western weapons it had requested “to create parity with the Russian army.”
“No matter how much effort Ukraine makes, no matter how professional our army, without the help of Western partners we will not be able to win this war,” Malyar said in a televised news conference.
She said Ukraine uses 5,000 to 6,000 artillery rounds a day, while Russia uses 10 times more.
The NATO meeting opens with a working dinner Wednesday evening at which ministers will speak with their counterparts from Ukraine, as well as Georgia, Sweden, Finland and the European Union.
“This will be an opportunity for Defense Minister Reznikov to update us on what Ukraine urgently needs. And for NATO allies to make new announcements of support to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
The defense ministers also plan to discuss moves to beef up forces along NATO’s eastern flank and elsewhere, which have gathered pace since Russia invaded Ukraine.
“This will mean more presence, more capabilities and higher readiness, with more NATO forward deployed combat formations to strengthen our battlegroups in the East, more air, sea and cyber defenses, pre-positioned equipment and weapon stockpiles,” Stoltenberg said.
He wouldn’t commit to a timeframe for Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blocking the membership bids as he accuses the Nordic nations of supporting Kurdish militants deemed by Turkey to be terrorists.
“My aim is to solve this issue as soon as possible, but since we are several nations involved in this process, there is no way to tell you exactly when we will solve it,” Stoltenberg said.
Because of Turkey’s concerns, “this will take some more time than we originally expected,” he said.
Erdogan signaled Wednesday he won’t back down.
“We will most definitely not change our stance until Sweden and Finland take clear, concrete and determined steps in the fight against terrorism,” Erdogan said in an address to his ruling party’s legislators.
He told Stoltenberg in a phone call that his government wants written guarantees of a “paradigm shift” in the two countries’ anti-terrorism efforts and their defense industry cooperation with Turkey, according to a statement from the Turkish leader’s office.
All 30 NATO members must agree to admit new members.
U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said at a meeting Wednesday in Oslo that the ambition for the NATO summit in Madrid is ensuring “that Sweden and Finland are successfully on the next step towards accession into NATO,”
“I think it is very important we listen and understand Turkey’s concerns and work to a position where Turkey will support the accession and indeed that we can mitigate any of those concerns,” Wallace said.
He added that the West needs to do more to support Ukrainians battling advances by far better equipped Russians.
“The Ukrainian forces in the east of the country, some of them have been on that front line for 90 days. They are exhausted. They are often, in artillery terms, outnumbered at very, very high ratios,” he said.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling over 2.9 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a transmission problem that can increase the risk of inadvertent rollaway crashes.
The recall covers certain 2013 to 2019 Escape, 2013 to 2018 C-Max, 2013 to 2016 Fusion, 2013 to 2021 Transit Connect, and 2015 to 2018 Edge vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Wednesday that a bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission can degrade or detach. That can stop the vehicles from shifting into the intended gear.
A vehicle shifted into Park gear might be in a different gear, allowing it to roll away.
Dealers will replace the bushing and add a protective cap. Owners will be notified by letter starting June 27. | https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/ford-recalls-over-2-9-million-vehicles-at-risk-of-roll-away-crashes/ | 2022-06-15T16:23:27Z | https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/ford-recalls-over-2-9-million-vehicles-at-risk-of-roll-away-crashes/ | false | null |
How did a Europe court halt Britain’s Rwanda deportation flight?
A European court ruling sparked an embarrassing climbdown for the British government by forcing the cancellation of Britain’s first deportation flight of asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The British government expressed fury at the decision. But it is legally obliged to implement rulings by the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), as a member of the Council of Europe and signatory of the European Convention on Human Rights.
AFP looks at the powers of the ECHR and why its verdicts apply to the UK.
What is the ECHR?
The ECHR is Europe’s top human rights court and serves as a court of last instance in cases where all domestic avenues are exhausted.
It is part of the 46-member Council of Europe (COE) and oversees the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights — signed in 1950 and effective from 1953.
Rulings by the ECHR are not advisory, but legally binding and must, as such, be implemented by COE member states.
What did this ruling say?
The ECHR, responding to requests from human rights lawyers, issued a rarely used fast track “urgent interim measure” ordering the UK not to remove an Iraqi man, named as K.N., to Rwanda.
He had applied for asylum in the UK in May after crossing the Channel by boat.
“The Court grants such requests only on an exceptional basis, when the applicants would otherwise face a real risk of irreversible harm,” it explained.
The measure effectively means that the UK cannot remove the man until a final decision in a domestic judicial review process. It prompted further appeals within the UK that then grounded the entire flight.
Why does this happen after Brexit?
The COE and the ECHR are separate from the European Union. Britain’s exit from the Brussels-based bloc therefore has no impact on its membership of the COE, or its obligation to adhere to ECHR verdicts.
With its 46 members the COE is a much wider body than the EU. In addition to the UK, other key COE members who do not belong to the EU include Turkey and Ukraine.
The only significant European states not to be members of the COE are Belarus and Russia. Belarus still employs the death penalty, a red line for membership of the body. Russia quit the COE and was then expelled anyway after its invasion of Ukraine this year.
What does the UK government say?
The British government has reacted with fury to Tuesday’s ruling, with some even questioning Britain’s future membership of the COE.
Work and Pension Secretary Therese Coffey told Sky News that she had “never known such a quick decision” from the ECHR and “the public will be surprised at European judges overruling British judges”.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared to question the human rights convention, saying “will it be necessary to change some rules to help us as we go along? It very well may be.”
Ironically, Johnson’s own maternal grandfather James Fawcett helped to write the convention and played a key role in an ECHR commission.
Can the UK defy ECHR rulings?
The rulings from the court are legally binding. But there have been issues concerning compliance by certain COE member states with its verdicts, especially Turkey and ex-member Russia which have flouted a number of rulings.
The ECHR had in December 2019 ordered Turkey to release leading civil society activist Osman Kavala, but he has remained behind bars.
The committee of ministers of the COE launched infringement proceedings against Turkey for only the second time in its history over the case. The process could ultimately see Turkey suspended or even expelled from the body.
The ECHR in February 2021 granted an interim measure ordering Russia to release opposition figure Alexei Navalny. Russia ignored the ruling and Navalny remained in jail.
The UK was also involved in a dispute with the ECHR for over a decade over a blanket ban on the right to vote for prisoners which was largely ended by a compromise plan submitted by the UK government in 2017.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday aimed at curbing discrimination against transgender youth and drying up federal funding for the controversial practice of 'conversion therapy.'
Biden's executive order asks the federal health and education departments to expand access to gender-affirming medical treatments and find new ways to counter a flurry of bills passed by conservative lawmakers this year that ban these treatments for transgender youth.
The order asks federal agencies to ensure that federally funded programs do not offer conversion therapy, and the Federal Trade Commission to consider policing such practices that seek to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity as deceptive businesses.
Biden will sign the new policies as he marks Pride Month and hosts a LGBT reception at the White House on Wednesday afternoon.
The measures also include new steps to encourage the placement of LGBT children in foster homes that support their sexual orientation and also create a new working group on LGBT homelessness. They come after the Department of Justice has challenged some of those conservative state laws as unconstitutional.
The White House said more than 300 "anti-LGBTQI+" laws were introduced in state legislatures over the past year, a reference to bills barring classroom discussion of gender identity, blocking access to healthcare to help young people transition, and restricting participation in sports.
The White House's steps fall short of an outright federal ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in public spaces and federal programs. That would require congressional approval for the Equality Act.

New Report Shows Traffic Deaths Are Soaring — But We Can Fix It
“People in America are more than twice as likely to be killed on the road compared to Canada, just over the border, and more than four times as likely than in the leading countries of Western Europe.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released its yearly report on traffic deaths, and the numbers are startling. The NHSTA’s early findings indicate more than a 10% increase in traffic-related deaths from 2020 to 2021. Approximately 42,915 people died as a result of vehicle accidents in 2021, compared to 38,824 in 2020.
This increase marks the highest number of accident-related deaths in over 15 years, and the most significant increase since the NHSTA began using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. And it’s of particular importance to all of us, especially parents: motor vehicle-related accidents are the second leading killer of children in the United States, behind firearms.
How unsafe are roads in America?
“People in America are more than twice as likely to be killed on the road compared to Canada, just over the border, and more than four times as likely than in the leading countries of Western Europe,” Representative Peter DeFazio, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said during a committee meeting to discuss the NHSTA findings. “These countries have long acknowledged the risk of dangerous road design, embraced robust vision zero and complete streets policies, and provided many safe and convenient alternatives to driving.”
But these results aren’t limited to those who were killed in cars and trucks. They include pedestrians and cyclists killed by motorists as well, which increased by 13% and 5%, respectively, in 2021. And pedestrian deaths hit the highest number on record in 2020 since 1989 — in other words, more people are dying on the road than they have in many, many decades.
Though 2019 data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data found that deaths of kids younger than 13 have declined since 1975, taking greater action to keep streets safer will help as traffic and pedestrian deaths are soaring.
“We face a crisis on America’s roadways that we must address together,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a press release for the report. “With our National Roadway Safety Strategy and the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are taking critical steps to help reverse this devastating trend and save lives on our roadways.”
What can be done to help solve this crisis?
One way the NHTSA is addressing the crisis is by amending the five-star safety rating system that ranks new vehicles sold on the market in the United States. Traditionally, the five-star vehicle safety rating (otherwise known as the New Car Assessment Program or NCAP) is tabulated by measuring how well cars keep people inside of the car safe when in accidents. The five-star safety rating has never been required to report how well cars keep pedestrians or other people outside of the vehicle safe during accidents. Now, new regulations will begin to take pedestrians in mind.
The Urban Institute, an economic and social policy think tank, released a report analyzing the NHSTA data and compiled a list of actions states and municipalities can take to improve outcomes for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.
- Reduce speed limits. Research shows that pedestrians are less likely to die if struck by a vehicle traveling at less than 30 miles per hour.
- Install traffic and speed monitoring cameras along highways to encourage drivers to maintain posted speed limits.
- Create pedestrian-only, no motor vehicle areas in urban centers and other designated areas like around schools.
- Encourage the use of smaller fleet vehicles to reduce injuries to pedestrians who are struck.
“This crisis on our roads is urgent and preventable,” said NHTSA Deputy Administrator Dr. Steven Cliff. “We will redouble our safety efforts, and we need everyone – state and local governments, safety advocates, automakers, and drivers – to join us. All of our lives depend on it.” | https://www.fatherly.com/news/traffic-deaths-family-friendly-streets-2021-nhtsa-report | 2022-06-15T16:30:54Z | https://www.fatherly.com/news/traffic-deaths-family-friendly-streets-2021-nhtsa-report | true | 1 |
The chairman of the Trade and Industry Committee of Parliament, Kingsley Carlos Ahenkorah has said the Komenda Sugar Factory could not have produced raw sugar due to the absence of its 37 components.
He said the price waterhouse firm valued the factory at $12 million in 2017 and went further to establish that, about 37 components or parts of the factory were not fixed so therefore, the factory could not produce raw sugar as it was displayed by the then NDC government for Ghanaians to believe.
Strategic partner
He, however, assured Ghanaians that, the Komenda sugar factory would begin production anytime soon, once the government found a strategic investor.
He said the process to get a strategic partner was ongoing and soon the entity selected would be announced.
He said currently renovation works on the factory has begun and once the strategic partner was secured the factory would be made operational.
Mr Carlos Ahenkorah was responding to comments of the Minority members on the Trade and Industry Committee who visited the Komenda Sugar Factory last Monday.
The group after the visit accused the current government for causing financial loss to the state on the Komenda sugar factory.
Rebuttal
But rebutting the claims by the Minority members on the committee, Mr Ahenkorah, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema West said the current state of the factory should be blamed on the then NDC government who deceived Ghanaians that the factor has started producing sugar when they inaugurated the factory in 2016 but in actual fact the sugar displayed on that day was bought from somewhere.
He said an assessment done on the factory by price waterhouse coopers in 2017 after the NPP administration took over the reins of government indicated that the Komenda sugar factory could not have produced raw sugar due to absence of its 37 components.
He said, the price waterhouse coopers firm valued the factory at $12 million in 2017 and went further to establish that, about 37 components or parts of the factory were not fixed .
"So, therefore, the factory could not produce raw sugar as it was displayed by the then NDC government for Ghanaians to believe", he stated.
He said, this was made known when the price waterhouse coopers was contracted by the NPP government to value the factory to establish its current value as at 2017, but the then NDC government at that time claimed that they spent $35 million to revamp the factory.
The visit
Mr Ahenkorah in an interview revealed that he was surprised to see only the minority members on the trade and industry committee that visited the Komenda sugar factory recently because it was not a decision of the committee to do so and such a visit was not communicated to the whole committee as well.
He said the accusation levelled against the NPP administration by the Minority members on the committee was untenable and a calculated attempt to throw dust into the eyes of Ghanaians that the NPP government was not doing anything about the current state of the factory.
He added that the bad state of the Komenda sugar factory was created by the same NDC government when they lied to Ghanaians that, the factory had produced raw sugar, meanwhile, that was not the case but rather went to credit raw sugar from a company without even paying.
The trade and industry committee chair indicated that the committee has agreed to visit the Komenda sugar factory anytime soon with the Minister of Trade and Industry, price waterhouse coopers, the media and if possible the Finance Ministry to present the true state of the factory to Ghanaians to bring the matter to a finality. | https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/komenda-sugar-factory-could-not-have-produced-raw-sugar-carlos-ahenkorah.html | 2022-06-15T16:30:54Z | https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/komenda-sugar-factory-could-not-have-produced-raw-sugar-carlos-ahenkorah.html | false | 3 |

The Indian cricket team have named Hardik Pandya as the captain for the upcoming tour of Ireland, where the team will play 2 T20Is. Hardik has been named captain with Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the deputy for the two games. The BCCI made the announcement on Wednesday evening.
Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer aren't part of the squad as they will be with the Test team in England. Meanwhile Suryakumar Yadav is back from injury and in the squad. Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson also makes the cut along with Rahul Tripathi, who scored 413 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad during the recently concluded IPL, at a strike rate of 158.23. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri had told ESPN that Tripathi isn’t far off from a call-up.
Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli continue to miss the T20 games for India currently, as they are focusing on the tour of England. Veteran Dinesh Karthik holds his spot, while Yuzvendra Chahal keeps his place too. The injured Kuldeep Yadav is not a part of the squad yet.
Bowlers Arshdeep and Umran too are part of the squad along with Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel.
Hardik's captaincy was praised by one and all when he led the Gujarat Titans to their maiden IPL title in their debut season in IPL 2022. Hardik is currently the vice-captain for the Indian team in the ongoing series against South Africa, where Pant is the skipper.
India have named a 17 member squad for the series in Ireland. The teams will play two games on 26 and 28 June in Dublin, before the Indian team begins the tour of England, which begins with a Test match from the previous tour.
VVS Laxman will coach India in Ireland, standing in for regular head coach Rahul Dravid who will be with the Test squad in England. Laxman will be assisted by batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule and fielding coach Munish Bali. The Test team regulars will fly directly for the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston.
India’s T20I squad: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik

The VANKYO Leisure 470 Pro, the next generation of the best mobile-friendly entertainment experience in the industry, offering optimum performance in a miniaturized device made available through the latest state-of-the-art display structure technology.
BELTSVILLE, Md., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, VANKYO, the world's leading innovative home entertainment projector brand, launches its newest product in the Full HD projector series. The Leisure 470 Pro - industry's smallest full HD 1080P LCD projector, representing a milestone in the development of VANKYO.
According to the NPD report, as of August 2021, VANKYO's sales had ranked first, accounting for 21.7% in the offline market. Following this success, VANKYO continues to bring the most advanced technologies to the marketplace. In the early stage of new product development, the VANKYO R&D team learned that the traditional Full HD 1080P projectors on the market are cumbersome and expensive, leading to the failure to meet the needs for users/prospective customers. Resulting from the global epidemic, the consumption trend is inclined to be miniaturized, modernized and more practical. As needs in portability and budget-friendly products continue to accelerate, and based on the popular trend of 5G WiFi technology, the VANKYO R&D team has finally developed this cost-effective Full HD 1080P flagship projector - VANKYO Leisure 470 Pro, successfully breaking the price barrier of over $200 for a Full HD 1080P projector.
The Leisure 470 Pro is compact and lightweight, making it a true portable companion for outdoor activity lovers. The optimized display structure and chipset provide stunning Full HD 1080P (in resolution) images in 250 inches, bringing outdoor enthusiasts hands-free mobile enjoyment. The ground-breaking fundamental innovations have indeed granted a perfect mobile projection solution for indoor and outdoor entertainment.
Best Portable Outdoor Phone Projector - the VANKYO Leisure 470 Pro
- Industry-Smallest in Size
VANKYO Leisure 470 Pro is designed in unprecedented smallest size - at least 40% smaller than mainstream native 1080p LCD projectors on the market, saving more space for indoor use and more convenient to be carried outdoors. Gather your family, neighbors or friends out for a movie on a starlit night in your backyard, or embark on a 'glamping' trip through RV/road trip for an ultimate entertainment experience.
- VANKYO's Newest Flagship Full HD 1080P Projector
Cinematic image quality, providing 30% higher brightness in the similar kind.
2022 upgraded ultra-fast 5G/2.4G dual-band network
Immersive surround sound and built-in cooling system
- Best budget
This flagship product with an accompanying carrying case perfectly balances good-quality and budget. It is now available for $169.99 at ivankyo.com and Best Buy.
Compared with VANKYO's popular product - the Leisure 470, what upgrades have been made on the flagship projector Leisure 470 Pro?
- 42% smaller in overall volume
- 30% higher brightness
- Upgraded resolution from 720P to 1080P
- Upgrade WiFi network from 2.4G to 5G
The launch of the Leisure 470 Pro is very likely to become a benchmark in the LCD field. Differentiated from high-priced DLP projectors, its newly updated display structure is going to stand out and function significantly in the industry. Compared with traditional TVs, iPads, mobile phones or other eye-damaging screens, a smart gadget delivering a large screen, protecting eyes effectively by adopting diffuse reflection with no flicker while blocking blue light is going to achieve a dominant position on the smart projection market.

Nottingham [UK], June 15 (ANI): New Zealand have now scored the second-highest number of runs in a losing cause in Tests, scoring a total of 837 runs.
Kiwis achieved this unwanted record during the second Test against England at Nottingham, which they lost by five wickets.
In their first and second innings, New Zealand was bundled out for 553 and 284 respectively.
However, despite scoring such an amount of runs, Kiwis could not avoid a defeat as England chased down the target of 299 and won the match by five wickets, clinching the three-match series 2-0.
At first is England, which scored a total of 861 runs in their seven-wicket loss to Australia during the 1948 Ashes.
Coming to the match, Jonny Bairstow and captain Ben Stokes shined for England with the bat, helping their side win the second Test against New Zealand by five wickets and clinch the three-match series.
It was a see-saw contest between the Kiwis and England. While mammoth 500-plus scores during the first innings of both sides suggested that the match could head to a draw, New Zealand ended up setting a challenging target of 299, which England chased down with five wickets and more than 20 overs to spare.
With this, England has started off the Stokes-McCullum era with a series win.
Chasing 299, England was not off a good start as they lost opener Zak Crawley for a duck a the score of 12. A 41-run stand between Ollie Pope and Alex Lees followed but the former gave away his wicket to pacer Matt Henry for 18, after he was caught by wicketkeeper Tom Blundell. Root, the hero of previous innings fell for just 3. Lees and Bairstow tried to build a stand before the former fell for 44, sinking England to 93/4 after he was dismissed by Southee.
From then on, Bairstow and captain Ben Stokes took the control of the game. They smashed Kiwi bowlers left and right. Bairstow was on another level altogether, completing his century in 77 balls, and achieving the fastest hundred in the fourth innings of the game. The 179-run stand between the duo was broken by pacer Trent Boult, who dismissed Bairstow for an entertaining 136 off 92 consisting of 14 fours and seven sixes after he was caught by Blundell.
However, Stokes carried on and won the game for his side, scoring 75 off 70 with 10 fours and four sixes. Wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes stayed unbeaten at 12.
Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers for Kiwis, taking 3/94. Southee and Henry got a wicket each.
England won the toss and elected to field first. In the first innings of the match, New Zealand ended at 553/10. Daryl Mitchell (190) and Tom Blundell (106) were the top scorers for New Zealand in the innings. James Anderson was the top bowler for England with 3/62 in 27 overs.
In the second innings, England was bowled out for 539. Joe Root (176) and Ollie Pope (145) and Ben Foakes (56) were the stars for their side. Trent Boult (5/106) and Michael Bracewell (3/62) were the best bowlers for the Kiwis.
In the third innings, New Zealand was bundled out for 284 in the fourth innings. Will Young (56), Devon Conway (52) and Daryl Mitchell (62*) contributed well for the Kiwis with the bat. This set England a target of 299 runs to capture the series.
Stuart Broad (3/70) and James Anderson (2/20) were the stars for England with the ball in the third innings. Matty Potts also took 2/32 with his medium pace. (ANI)
