Andre Russell, an apprentice at Warwickshire County Council (WCC), was part of a winning team at the Local Government Apprentice of the Year which took place virtually on 25 May 2022.
The national event, now in its second year, was designed and delivered by South West Councils and the East of England Local Government Association with support from the LGA.
More than 100 Level 2 and 3 local government apprentices from across the country took part in the one-day event, with workshops which encouraged them to learn, network and showcase their skills, expertise, and initiative.
Building on the success of the 2021 pilot of this national event, all those taking part were either current apprentices or qualified within the last 12 months. Each activity was designed to help develop successful workplace behaviours, linked to a range of apprenticeship standards, with each participant receiving an individual report with their scores for each activity. Andre and his team members won the Team Award for their innovative idea for councils to save money by going paperless.
Andre joined WCC in June 2021 as an Apprentice Community Development Worker which involves attending different community groups, youth groups and community events. Andre said:
“In my role, my main objective is to help communities to help themselves. I work with different groups of people, helping them to flourish and be the best communities they can be, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy my job.
“I joined the Council as an apprentice because I wanted to work with people, to help people in the community, I wanted to make an impact.
“I would say to anyone thinking of joining WCC as an apprentice, just go for it! You will learn so much and I’ve been able to really develop my self-confidence.”
Monica Fogarty, Chief Executive at Warwickshire County Council said:
“We are so proud of Andre for being recognised nationally amongst his peers at the Apprentice of the Year. It’s an amazing achievement which will hopefully propel Andre into an exciting career within local government.
“Andre is just one example of our many fantastic apprentices working at WCC. Our variety of apprenticeships provide people from all backgrounds with the opportunity to push themselves, learn new skills and develop a career at the Council.”
Cllr Andy Jenns, Portfolio Holder for Customer & Transformation added:
“Andre is a fantastic ambassador for apprentices in local government and he should be really proud of being recognised at this national event.
“Our apprenticeship opportunities at WCC have expanded significantly in the last few years. The breadth of apprenticeships at WCC mean people can shape their own career, whether that's becoming the best at what they do, progressing with strengths and ambition, or exploring interests in other areas within the Council, people can grow into who they want to be.”
More than 130 apprentices have been retained in further employment within WCC since the apprenticeship scheme began in 2012, and many of them have continued to develop their professional skills and capabilities through further apprenticeships at a higher level.
Whether you want to kickstart your career for the first time or you’re looking for a career change later in life, apprenticeships provide the opportunity to develop and learn new skills in an area that interests you. We offer a range of apprenticeships that are the first step to a career in various professions including engineering, social care, ICT, project management, digital marketing, customer service, vehicle maintenance and many more.

1. Meet Elon Musk's go-to lawyer. Alex Spiro, a brash 39-year-old litigator, has helped Musk defeat a defamation suit, and has been working behind the scenes for the billionaire as he tries to buy Twitter.
- Musk and lawyers don't seem to mix — just ask the law firm that lost work from Musk's companies after refusing to fire a lawyer that Musk didn't like. But it seems Spiro is different.
- He's made a name for himself representing professional athletes and rappers, from NBA star Thabo Sefolosha to hip-hop mogul Jay-Z. Randy Zelin, a defense lawyer who has taught at Cornell Law School, called him "as real as you get."
- Some lawyers will stab you in the back, Zelin said. Spiro will "stab me in the chest."

English bulldogs should be banned unless they are bred to have healthier features, experts have warned.
A new study by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) found that the breed is much more prone to health issues than other dogs, with many of the conditions they have linked to the “extreme” traits they have been bred for.
What did the study find?
RVC researchers found that the English bulldog is twice as likely to be diagnosed with at least one more disorder than other dogs.
Dan O’Neill, author of the study, said the breed suffers from “skin fold dermatitis and breathing problems” which “are directly linked to the extreme structure of their bodies that has been selectively bred.”
Researchers analysed vets’ records on 2,662 English bulldogs and 22,039 other breeds and found the English bulldog showed predispositions for 24 out of 43 specific disorders, and is at higher risk of breathing, eye and skin conditions.
Only 9.7% of English bulldogs in the study were aged over eight, compared with 25.4% of other breeds. This indicates a shorter lifespan which is linked to overall poorer health.
How has the English bulldog changed over time?
English bulldogs were originally developed as a muscular, athletic dog for bull-fighting, but they were later bred as show animals and pets.
The breed has risen in popularity over the past decade with owners attracted to their exaggerated features such as a short skull, protruding lower jaw, and heavy build.
Dr O’Neill told journal Canine Medicine and Genetics: “What is most concerning is that so many of the health conditions that English bulldogs suffer from — such as skin fold dermatitis and breathing problems — are directly linked to the extreme structure of their bodies that has been selectively bred.
“Given the breed’s continued popularity, the body shape of the typical pet English bulldogs should be redefined towards more moderate physical characteristics.”
He added: “Doing so will not only improve the dogs’ health, but could also enable the UK to avoid following other countries in banning the English bulldog on welfare grounds.”
Which other breeds have health concerns?
Experts have also warned that pugs are some of the unhealthiest dogs.
New research from the RVC revealed that pugs are almost twice as likely to develop health problems every year than other breeds.
The study used its VetCompass program to compare random samples of 4,308 pugs and 21,835 non-pugs, finding that pugs were 1.9 times more likely to develop one or more health disorders every year.
The most frequent issues were found in the pugs’ airways - a common problem for flat faced dog breeds.
Dr O’Neill, lead author of the paper, said: "Although hugely popular as pets, we now know that several severe health issues are linked to the extreme body shape of pugs that many humans find so cute.
"It is time now that we focus on the health of the dog rather than the whims of the owner when we are choosing what type of dog to own." | https://www.mearnsleader.co.uk/read-this/english-bulldogs-should-be-banned-over-health-issues-experts-warn-3733820 | 2022-06-16T10:36:20Z | https://www.mearnsleader.co.uk/read-this/english-bulldogs-should-be-banned-over-health-issues-experts-warn-3733820 | true | 13 |

The Queen has not yet made an appearance at Royal Ascot 2022 but find out how she's following the races and her family's attendance
The Queen has not yet made an appearance at Royal Ascot this year, but there's no doubt she'll be eagerly following the races from home.
The 96-year-old monarch is a keen equestrian and racegoer and events like Royal Ascot and the Royal Windsor Horse Show are highlights in her diary. But due to her episodic mobility issues, it's understood that the Queen has been enjoying the Berkshire races from the comfort of her house.
READ: Why Prince William and Kate may not attend Royal Ascot this year
Earlier this month, her granddaughter Zara Tindall revealed that Her Majesty was tuning in to the Epsom Derby over the Platinum Jubilee weekend after being forced to pull out last minute.
WATCH: Prince Charles and Camilla lead royals on day two of Ascot
And it sounds like she has a great set-up at home, which she is most likely repeating for Royal Ascot.
READ: Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi shares rare loved-up snap with Princess Beatrice
READ: Why royal ladies always sit on the back seats of Ascot carriages
"She will be watching on the TV. She has a few runners today dotted around the country, so she knows exactly what's going on," Zara said, referring to the Derby. "She'll just be sat on the sofa watching the TV. She'll be in her comfy clothes… She's got runners today, so she'll concentrate on that and be watching the Derby."
The Queen pictured at Royal Ascot last year
The Queen's Windsor Castle home is a 15-minute drive away from Royal Ascot so there is still hope that she will make an appearance before the event draws to an end on Saturday.
She has more than ten horses entered over the five days of the event, with her horse Reach For The Moon odds-on to win a race on Thursday, as well as her horses Tactical and Saga standing a chance, meaning she could make an appearance then. She is also usually on hand to present the trophy to the winner of the Gold Cup.
Prince Charles and Camilla on day two of Royal Ascot 2022
Prince Charles and Camilla attended days one and two of Royal Ascot this week, leading the royal procession by riding in the first carriage. They left an empty space in their carriage on both days as a sign of respect for Her Majesty who would normally be in attendance.
Other members of the royal family who have stepped out this week include Prince Edward and Sophie, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Zara and Mike Tindall, and Princess Anne.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol is calling it "the Big Rip Off."
It says the Trump campaign took $250 million in donations from supporters that it said would go to an election defense fund to pay for legal fees to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. But the fund was never actually created, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, one of the committee members, said Monday in the panel's second public hearing.
Instead, the money went to the Save America PAC, she said, and the money went from there to several pro-Trump organizations which are headed by former officials close to the Trump circle.
"Not only was there the Big Lie," Lofgren said, referring to Trump's false allegations of election fraud, "there was the Big Rip-Off."
Asked about the committee's allegations, Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington responded in a statement, "The Unselect Committee continues to spread baseless lies against President Trump. No one is more committed to fixing our elections than he is, and our political spending is totally synchronized with that goal."
The committee can't prosecute Trump or any of his involved allies for anything it is investigating, however it could recommend the Department of Justice pursue criminal charges?
The question, though, is whether there is enough evidence to build a case that Trump and his associates did in fact break any laws.
Where the money was spent is a key question
"This is a difficult one," said Ken Gross, former associate general counsel of the Federal Election Commission. "As distasteful as it is to raise money for a purpose other than what you're going to use it for, in the political arena, there's a good bit of latitude given to campaigns because oftentimes, money is used for some other purpose."
He says an example would be a campaign asking for donations and saying it would go to TV ads but instead using them for a different effort within the campaign — things like that happen all the time. And unless there's evidence that shows the funds were converted for personal use and not within the political arena, Gross said it would be hard for a prosecutor to take on the case.
"Whether it would be actionable legally, I'm not quite ready to go there unless we have some further aggravating facts such as a conversion to personal use," Gross said.
"If [the funding from donors] stays in the political arena, even though it wasn't used for the political purpose that it was raised for, I think that's a tough case for a prosecutor to get real interested in," he said.
Campaign finance law doesn't necessarily apply
Here's where it gets further complicated. Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, a professor of election law at Stetson University, told NPR that campaign finance law doesn't necessarily apply here.
In this case, Trump said he was using money from donors for his legal defense fund. And it happened after the election was over.
"Legal defense funds fall outside of normal campaign finance. They are not considered either contributions or expenditures under the campaign finance law," Torres-Spelliscy said. "You can raise money for legal defense funds that are not subject to classic campaign finance limits."
For example, there are limits set by the FEC that dictate how much an individual donor can give to a campaign. But those limits don't apply to legal defense funds.
But she added that that does not mean that no law applies. In this case, she believes the Jan. 6 committee is laying the groundwork for a case of wire fraud.
"With wire fraud, you use some of our telecommunications structure, like the internet, and you defraud a victim of their money. And if the Justice Department agrees, then they may well have a case against the former president and some of his associates for defrauding lots and lots of different donors," Torres-Spelliscy said.
Intent comes into play
What information would prosecutors need to make a case? In short, more evidence.
"You would need some facts as to the scheming, if you will, behind this fundraising effort," Gross said. "Intent is going to come into play... prosecutors are going to need some aggravating factors before they pursue it."
In other words, they would need proof that Trump knew the money was not going to be used to fight his legal battles in attempting to overturn the election. More on that topic might be coming from the House committee in the coming weeks as members spell out more of their case. Still, Gross says it would be a tough case to take on.
But both Torres-Spelliscy and Gross pointed to a different example of when a Trump associate was tied up with accusations of misusing donated funds, though this one wasn't tied to an official campaign for office. In 2016, prosecutors charged Steve Bannon, Trump's former political adviser, with wire fraud after he raised $25 million in a campaign to build a wall on the southern border — but allegedly took millions of dollars of those donations to line his own pockets.
"You gin them up with something they care about whether its building a wall at the southern border or fighting phantom election fraud and you get all this money from donors... some of whom do not have this money to spare," Torres-Spelliscy said.

BUSINESSMAN Aggripa “Bopela” Masiyakurima yesterday appeared in court on allegations of assaulting his wife.
Masiyakurima allegedly bashed his wife, Abigail Marongwe,
on accusations of failing to feed their children.
He was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare
magistrate Dennis Mangosi.
He was released on free bail as he was coming from home.
It is the State’s case that last week, Masiyakurima was
issued with a protection order by the Harare Civil Court, which barred him from
insulting, threatening and assaulting his wife.
Three days later, at around 7.30pm, Masiyakurima allegedly accused his wife of failing to feed their children properly. His claims did not go down well with his wife, who responded, leading to a quarrel.
The State further alleges that Masiyakurima slapped her.
The businessman also allegedly threatened to chuck his wife
out of the house saying the protection order she sought at the Harare Civil
Court was useless.
The incident occurred in full view of Masiyakurima’s
relatives, who will testify in court, it is alleged. H Metro | http://www.newsdzezimbabwe.co.uk/2022/06/businessman-bopela-beats-up-wife.html | 2022-06-16T10:49:44Z | http://www.newsdzezimbabwe.co.uk/2022/06/businessman-bopela-beats-up-wife.html | false | 1 |
The candidate of Accord Party in Saturday’s Ekiti State governorship election, Basorun Reuben Famuyibo, has debunked reports making the rounds that he has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, describing it as a “lie from the pit of hell”.
The candidate’s position was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Olajide Omojolomoju.
In the statement on Thursday, Famuyibo insisted that his dog will never return to its vomit.
He said he is still very much in the race and will see it to a logical conclusion, adding that it is his turn to govern Ekiti State considering his role in the creation of Ekiti State 25 years ago.
Famuyibo said: “My dear people of Ekiti State, do not listen to any rumour purporting that I have defected to the APC. God forbid bad thing!
“It is a lie from the pit of hell and figment of imagination of the rumour peddlers.
“You will recall that yesterday, Wednesday, I was on Fresh 106.9FM, telling you my dear people of Ekiti State what I have in stock for you. I was equally on TVC yesterday evening telling everyone why they should vote for me.
“Peddling rumour of my defection is a sign that the ruling APC is already jittery, having seen the massive acceptance of my party and Accord across the length and breadth of Ekiti State.
“Please, ignore any rumour claiming that I have defected to any party or that I’m no longer in the race. I’m very much in the race and I’m winning, by the special grace of God and the support of the good peopl of Ekiti State.”
Famuyibo further warned rumour mongers to stop peddling unnecessary rumour, saying that such would not help the course of their paymasters.
He insisted that the circumstances leading to his exit from the APC still remain, adding that he will never disappoint Ekiti State people who have stood by him since his emergence as Accord candidate for Saturday’s election. | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/ekiti-2022-accord-candidate-reacts-to-defection-to-apc-report/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ekiti-2022-accord-candidate-reacts-to-defection-to-apc-report | 2022-06-16T10:55:51Z | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/ekiti-2022-accord-candidate-reacts-to-defection-to-apc-report/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ekiti-2022-accord-candidate-reacts-to-defection-to-apc-report | false | 1 |

Soccer-Taiwan thanks World Cup organisers after China reference removed from fan IDs
Adds China comment; paragraphs 9-10
TAIPEI, June 16 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foreign Ministry expressed thanks on Thursday after organisers of the World Cup in Qatar removed a reference to China for Taiwanese visitors applying for an identification card that doubles as an entry visa.
All World Cup ticketholders must apply for the Hayya card used to identify fans, which also serves as their Qatar visa, but Taiwan's government expressed concern after discovering the online application system made no mention of the island.
It was subsequently listed as, "Taiwan, Province of China", terminology that equally angers Taiwan's government and many of its people.
However, late on Wednesday the system began listing the island simply as "Taiwan", complete with the Taiwanese flag.
It marks a rare victory for Taiwan, whose government and many of its people bristle at China's sovereignty claims.
Taiwan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou told reporters this was a "positive development", and expressed appreciation for the fast reaction by the organisers.
"We express our thanks and affirmation for this goodwill," Ou added.
The World Cup organisers have yet to comment on the change.
In Beijing, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, "Taiwan is part of China," when asked about the change, adding that the one-China principle was a "basic norm" of international relations.
"We believe that the relevant parties will respect the one-China principle and resolve this matter in accordance with the consistent methods for international sporting competitions," he told reporters at a regular briefing.
Taiwan competes at most international sporting competitions like the Olympics as "Chinese Taipei" to avoid political problems. It has not qualified for the Qatar World Cup, but soccer is popular in Taiwan.
Taiwan has never played at the World Cup finals and crashed out in the second round of Asian qualifying for the 2022 tournament last year after losing all eight matches.
Taiwan has no diplomatic relations with Qatar, which, like most countries, only recognises China's government.
China, seeking to assert its sovereignty claims, has stepped up pressure for countries and foreign companies to refer to Taiwan as part of China in official documents and on websites, with phrasing such as "Taiwan, Province of China", or "Taiwan, China".

While clubs will all play each other twice over the course of the season, the ordering of the matches can have a significant impact on their fortunes.
An easy or difficult run at a key stage can create or disrupt momentum, particularly given the additional fixture congestion created by the 2022 World Cup in November and December.
To help unravel this season's fixtures, we analyse the entire 2022-23 Premier League schedule using an aggregation of leading bookmakers' odds and identified the most notable runs.
Manchester City to make fast start
Manchester City will start the new season as favourites to retain their title for a third successive year, especially given their favourable-looking run at the start of the campaign.
Pep Guardiola's side play two of the promoted sides at home in August, and do not face any of the traditional 'big six' until mid-September when they host Tottenham.
Arsenal made a bad start to the season in 2021-22, losing their opening three games by an aggregate of nine goals to nil, but will expect to fare much better this year - a September trip to Old Trafford is the only one of their first eight fixtures against a team expected to finish in the top six.
Palace punished again
Crystal Palace ended last season strongly under Patrick Vieira, taking 10 points from their final six games to finish 12th.
This was after overcoming a difficult start - they played six of the seven toughest teams in their first 10 matches, according to pre-season odds.
Vieira's side have once again been handed some tricky opening fixtures, hosting Arsenal on the opening day before trips to Liverpool and Man City in two of the next three weekends.
Palace can take comfort later in the season with a couple of easier runs - they play the three promoted sides in successive fixtures either side of the World Cup in November and December, before enjoying the same run in the final three games of the campaign.
Chastening start for the Cherries
Bournemouth face a daunting schedule on their return to the Premier League.
After kicking off the season at home to Aston Villa, Scott Parker's men face Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool consecutively.
Nottingham Forest will end their 23-year absence from the top flight with a tricky opening run, playing four of the bookmakers' predicted top eight in August. September will be kinder to Steve Cooper's side as they host their fellow promoted sides at home, either side of a trip to Leeds who narrowly avoided the drop last term.
All three of Forest, Bournemouth and Leeds have been handed tough run-ins, facing two of the 'big six' in their final four games.
Brentford are also likely to need points on the board by mid-April, with Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham among their final six opponents.
Saints' struggles to continue?
Southampton finished last season poorly, taking just one point from their last six matches. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl could come under early pressure this term as three of Saints' first five games are against teams expected to challenge for a top-four place.
Like Southampton, Wolves also ended last season with a whimper, taking just two points from their final seven games, but unlike the Saints their opening fixtures provide an opportunity to bounce back. Four of their first six league games pit them against opponents who are expected to struggle this season, including two newly-promoted sides.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, on the other hand, has some credit in the bank after his side ended 2021-22 in fine form, earning 12 points from their final six games.
The Magpies are tipped by bookmakers to be the leading challengers to the 'big six', but their credentials will be tested with games against Liverpool and Manchester City before the end of August.
Red Devils face scary October
Manchester United will have their squad depth tested to the limit in October as they will have to fit three Europa League group games around a gruelling Premier League schedule.
The Red Devils have six tricky league fixtures during the month, beginning with a Manchester derby at the Etihad and featuring a trip to Chelsea straight after the midweek visit of Tottenham.
The fixture computer has cut Erik ten Hag some slack, however, with the mid-season break for the World Cup bookended by matches against two of the promoted teams and a relatively easy run-in.
With international players likely to have one eye on the World Cup by the time November rolls around, Man City, Liverpool and Spurs have also been handed favourable fixtures either side of the Qatar showpiece.
Thomas Frank's Brentford can once again feel a little hard done by, with games against three of last season's top four scheduled around the World Cup. The Bees' woes are compounded by a trip to West Ham on New Year's Eve two days before hosting Liverpool on January 2.
Later end to the campaign
Due to the World Cup taking place during November and December, the league will have an unprecedented six-week break while the tournament takes place, with a round of fixtures on November 12 and the next one not taking place until Boxing Day.
The upshot of this is that the last round of fixtures will take place on Sunday, May 28, which is far later than usual.
April will be a busy month as a consequence, with six gameweeks planned, while there is little wriggle room for postponed fixtures given the hectic nature of next year. | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/premier-league-fixtures-six-talking-points-after-release-man-citys-fast-start-man-utds-scary-october-no-wriggle-room-3733825 | 2022-06-16T11:09:24Z | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/premier-league-fixtures-six-talking-points-after-release-man-citys-fast-start-man-utds-scary-october-no-wriggle-room-3733825 | true | 11 |
Greensboro, NC – Austin Peay State University (APSU) catcher Jack Alexander’s remarkable 2022 season continued to earn accolades, Wednesday, picking up 2022 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I Southeast All-Region Second Team honors.
Alexander, of Benton, Missouri, put together one of the finest seasons by an Austin Peay catcher. Offensively, he led the Govs’ regulars in batting average (.346), slugging percentage (.649), and on-base percentage (.425) at season’s end. He also led APSU in home runs (14), RBI (55), and walks (27) while finishing second in doubles (19).
A First Team All-OVC selection, Alexander was one of three catchers named to the ABCA/Rawlings Southeast All-Region Teams. Georgia Tech’s Kevin Parada was the first-team selection and Mercer’s Collin Price joined Alexander on the second team. The Southeast Region encompasses teams from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Alexander is the 12th Governors player all-time to earn ABCA All-Region honors and the first since Parker Phillips earned a first-team nod in 2019.
The ABCA, founded in 1945, is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. Its over 13,000 members represent all 50 states and 23 countries. Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include eight divisions: NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School, and Youth. | https://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2022/06/16/apsu-baseballs-jack-alexander-named-to-abca-rawlings-southeast-all-region-teams/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=apsu-baseballs-jack-alexander-named-to-abca-rawlings-southeast-all-region-teams | 2022-06-16T11:12:10Z | https://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2022/06/16/apsu-baseballs-jack-alexander-named-to-abca-rawlings-southeast-all-region-teams/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=apsu-baseballs-jack-alexander-named-to-abca-rawlings-southeast-all-region-teams | true | 2 |
TOKYO (AP) — Global shares were mostly lower Thursday after the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate by three-quarters of a point and signaled more rate hikes were coming to fight inflation.
European benchmarks and U.S. futures slipped after Tokyo and some other markets tracked Wall Street’s gains of the day before.
Shares in New York rallied after the Fed’s hike, the biggest since 1994, as investors initially took heart from Chair Jerome Powell’s comments suggesting future rate increases may be more modest.
But analysts warned the gains might be short-lived given the extent that high inflation has seeped into the world economy.
France’s CAC 40 sank 2.1% to 5,906.32. Germany’s DAX dropped 2.6% to 13,130.64. Britain’s FTSE 100 shed 2.1% to 7,118.55.
The future for the S&P 500 was 2.3% lower at 3,707.00, while the future for the Dow industrials gave up 1.8% to 30,105.00. On Wednesday, the the S&P 500 climbed 1.5% in its first gain in six sessions, after it tumbled into bear market territory earlier in the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 1% higher, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 2.5%.
The Bank of England was expected to raise interest rates later Thursday. Economists said the increase was already expected and factored in, but it marks another step in the dismantling of supports for markets put in place during the pandemic.
The Swiss National Bank raised rates by half a percentage point, to a still low minus 0.25%. Taiwan’s central bank raised its key rate by 0.125 basis points to 1.5%.
“The clear read-through here is the FOMC (Fed) has unleashed the central bank Hawkish Genie from the bottle, and we should expect more aggressive follow-through from other central banks except those who are economically challenged,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.
In Asian trading, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.4% to finish at 26,431.20. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gave up earlier gains, falling nearly 0.2% to 6,591.10. South Korea’s Kospi edged 0.2% higher to 2,451.41. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shed 2.2% to 20,845.43, while the Shanghai Composite fell 0.6% to 3,285.38.
The Bank of Japan started a two-day policy meeting that will end on Friday. The Japanese central bank is under pressure to act given downward pressures on the yen from U.S. rate hikes and super-low rates in Japan. But its aim has been to foster sustainable inflation after years of fending off deflation, or falling prices.
Investors have been selling yen and buying dollars in anticipation of higher yields from dollar-denominated holdings. Japanese politicians and the central bank chief have expressed worries about the declining yen, but no dramatic policy changes are expected.
By late Thursday afternoon, the U.S. dollar had edged up to 134.07 Japanese yen from 133.82 yen. It recently topped 135 yen, the highest level in 20 years. The euro cost $1.0397, down from $1.0447.
Japan recorded a nearly 2.4 trillion yen ($17.9 billion) trade deficit last month, its 10th straight month of a red ink, the Finance Ministry reported. Japan racked up its highest imports for the month of May since 1979, as surging energy prices and a weak yen sent the value of imports soaring. Japan imports almost all its energy.
All kinds of investments, from bonds to bitcoin, have tumbled this year as high inflation forces central banks to try to slow inflation that has flared as economies recover from disruptions of the pandemic. The war in Ukraine has added to those price pressures.
Powell said Wednesday the Fed is moving “expeditiously” to get rates closer to normal levels after last week’s stunning report that showed inflation at the consumer level unexpectedly accelerated last month, dashing hopes that inflation may have already peaked.
However, Powell, also hinted that rate increases later this year may be smaller. That appeared to assuage fears the central bank might overshoot its goal of cooling inflation and tip the economy into a downturn.
The Fed is “not trying to induce a recession now, let’s be clear about that,” Powell said. He called Wednesday’s big increase “front-end loading.”
Even without recession, higher interest rates hurt prices for investments. The hardest-hit have been those that soared the most in the easy-money era of ultralow interest rates, including high-growth technology stocks and cryptocurrencies.
The war in Ukraine has helped send prices for oil soaring because the region is a major producer of energy.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude dropped 83 cents to $114.48 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It shed $3.62 on Wednesday to $115.31 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gave up $1.01 to $117.50 a barrel.

Picture a court of law, jury in place, set to determine the fate of a woman who has had a miscarriage. And she's been charged with murder.
This hypothetical is part of how the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) is training its members to prepare for a wave of criminal charges if, as expected, the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Only it's not a hypothetical — this happened in 2019. After a California woman delivered a stillborn baby at 8 months, she tested positive for meth at the hospital and the staff called the police. The Kings County prosecutor charged her with the "murder of a human fetus" and she spent 16 months in jail before the charges were dismissed.
NACDL executive director Lisa Wayne watched the case with concern. She and her colleagues decided they needed to be proactive and start getting ready for what they felt was inevitable.
"Although, I don't think you can ever say you'll be totally prepared for this kind of watershed moment," Wayne said.
'Overcriminalization'
The NACDL published a report last August warning the public that, without the legal protections under Roe v. Wade, thousands of abortion laws could lead to a new chapter of mass incarceration.
The invasion of privacy alone is a big concern to the NACDL. Anyone who needs or wants an abortion outside of the legal limits of their state is not only a target for criminal charges, but risks implicating others, too — by confiding in friends or family, crossing state lines for procedures, or even using a transportation app to get to an appointment.
"Not just fines. We're talking about prison time," Wayne said. "We're talking about minimum mandatory sentences — aiding or abetting someone who gets ultimately charged with manslaughter or murder, which is a life sentence."
And for those who think a future of mass incarceration is too unlikely, Wayne points to the War on Drugs, starting in 1971.
"Suddenly people who were being prosecuted for small amounts of drugs were now involved in larger and greater conspiracies with minimum mandatory sentences," Wayne said. "People were looking at life sentences and still remain incarcerated to this day. You have to ask yourself, what lessons did we really learn?"
Who will actually pay the price?
The NACDL has tens of thousands of members. Actual feelings and opinions on abortion vary within the organization, as expected. But that's not what this collective red alert is about.
Wayne says that despite a range of personal views, the membership as a whole is concerned about invasion of privacy, government overreach, and a massive stretch on legal resources if a wave of abortion-related criminal charges hits the U.S.
And that pain won't be distributed equally.
"Whenever you're talking about overcriminalization, you're talking about money," Wayne said. "Rich people will always be able to lawyer up. They will always have access to attorneys. Poor people will be left behind."
She points to an already overwhelmed public defender system, which people can't access until after their legal troubles have started.
"I don't get a lawyer, if I'm poor, until I'm actually charged with a crime in this country in most jurisdictions," she said. "So I have to wait until that moment until I get charged. If I have money, access to counsel, I get advice on the front end of being able to perhaps avoid the consequences that I would face if I didn't have money."
The perfect victim
A future without Roe v. Wade ultimately leads back to that courtroom and jury, where the task at hand becomes navigating perception. The burden of being "the perfect victim" is nothing new when it comes to cases of harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence.
"To be a perfect victim of sexual assault, human trafficking or intimate partner violence, you cannot also struggle with addiction, poverty or mental illness," wrote Amanda Rodriguez, a former federal prosecutor and the executive director of Baltimore's rape crisis center, TurnAround Inc, in a 2021 op-ed for the Baltimore Sun. "To be a perfect victim, you cannot accept a drink, engage in commercial sex or walk alone at night. You cannot wear tight clothes or have a criminal record. You cannot be human."
Except with a criminalized abortion, the "victim" isn't pressing charges. They're fighting them.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be the bias going into the courtroom," Wayne said. "The bias dealing with the district attorney who has preconceived notions of their own about how these cases should be prosecuted, the judges who oversee these cases and how they feel — and then ultimately go to the jurors' bias."
And that's a main focus of NACDL's training at the moment: preparing to help clients who have been charged with abortion-related crimes look sympathetic and relatable to a group of their peers (wherein the degree of difficulty varies, depending on your race.)
But in some cases, that might not be enough. While more than a dozen states have trigger laws that would immediately go into effect if Roe is lifted, restrictive abortion bans already exist in many states — some without exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. And the Supreme Court might be about to grant state lawmakers the freedom to ban abortion however they want.
So when a jury is asked to determine whether someone broke a law post-Roe, even a "perfect victim" might still be a guilty one.

Jakarta. The US chip giant AMD on Tuesday held the Indonesia launch for its latest mobile processor AMD Ryzen 6000 series, which promised to deliver desktop-class performance and long-lasting battery life.
“AMD is committed to delivering high-performance computing to meet the increasingly diverse technology needs of consumers with the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processor," Peter Chambers, Managing Director, Sales, AMD APJ, said at the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series launch in Jakarta on Tuesday.
The AMD Ryzen 6000 introduces itself as a processor that answers its customer’s needs, particularly the always mobile young generation — be it the content creators, gamers, or entrepreneurs.
Creative and always on the move are two things that describe the millennials and Gen Z. These young people will most likely go for ultrathin laptops to carry around anywhere they go. But of course, they would want a powerful laptop, coupled with a battery life that lasts all day, to effortlessly work on their ideas without plugging in.
“AMD understands what its customers need, especially the young generation who is always on the move. We hope the young generation understands the performance of the processor they need to deliver performance while also supporting their mobility,” Armawati Cen, the representative head of AMD Indonesia, said.
The AMD Ryzen 6000 features the 6nm Zen 3+ CPU core and RDNA2’s graphics. This mobile processor has a clock speed of up to 5 GHz and up to 1.3 times faster processing speeds. The Ryzen 6000 also boasts a battery life for video playback of up to a full 24 hours.
“The Zen3+ is an incredible architecture designed to handle heavy applications and content creation,” Armawati told the conference.
Gaming has become a popular hobby and also a profession among Indonesian youth. The AMD RDNA 2-equipped Ryzen 6000 offers graphics performance that is twice faster than its predecessor. AMD also claims the Ryzen 6000 to be the world’s first on-chip graphics that supports most AAA titles at 1080p using low settings.
The AMD Ryzen 6000 comes with AI noise cancellation to filter background noise. This feature will undoubtedly come in handy for online meetings as youths embrace the work-from-anywhere style.
AMD Ryzen 6000-powered laptops come with low-power DDR5 memory, USB4, and Wi-Fi 6E. According to AMD, the Ryzen 6000 is the first x86 processor that fully supports Windows 11 security features.
To date, AMD has 10 models under the Ryzen 6000 series with a thermal design power (TDP) that ranges from 15 watts to over 45 watts. The Ryzen 6000 is also split into two sub-series: the U-Series and H-Series.
Designed for light and thin laptops, the U-Series boasts a TDP of 15-28 watts and the RDNA2 Radeon 680 M integrated graphics card. The H-Series has a TDP of between 35 and 45 watts for gaming and content creation. | https://jakartaglobe.id/special-updates/amd-launches-ryzen-6000-sets-young-gen-as-target-market | 2022-06-16T11:21:13Z | https://jakartaglobe.id/special-updates/amd-launches-ryzen-6000-sets-young-gen-as-target-market | false | 1 |

Indo-Tibetan Border Police force, on Thursday, while talking to the news agency ANI said that the force is taking all measures to tackle Maoism in Narayanpur, Chhattisgarh. Assistant Commander of the ITBP also revealed that Maoist forces are trying to recruit more locales to their group. With the Monsoon approaching, the security forces predict that the Maoists have the geographical advantage and can use the mushy land to attack ITBP personnel.
ITBP Assistant Commander Satyendra Nath Mishra said, "Right now, we can sense that the Naxalites are planning to formulate propaganda against the forces. As per the information received, they are trying to recruit and encourage some localities into Naxalism."
"From July onwards, they will try to harm the security forces. This is because during the rainy season, forest areas get mushy and it gets difficult to stand on the land. Knowing this, I can assure that ITBP is preparing well to tackle such adversaries," he added.
Under the direction of Assistant Commandant Satyendra Nath Mishra, the company operating base (COB) Dhanora is achieving great success in preventing Maoist sabotage and subversive activities in this region. Mishra is involved in a variety of pro-people activities in his Area of Responsibility (AOR).
Mishra also conducted an area domination patrol (ADP) at the Kundoli village on May 22, which is a rural location greatly affected by the Maoist threat that has prevented even basic services from reaching the poorest inhabitants. When the ITBP learnt of this underdeveloped village, COB cadres made an oath that they will with the support of the Commanding Officer Bhanu Pratap Singh will attempt to improve this remote village which falls under their AOR
First and foremost, Assistant Commandant Satyendra submitted a letter to the district magistrate of Narayanpur on the same day, detailing the concerns, and within a week, the forests had been cleared and a passage constructed for the easy movement of heavy vehicles.
The authorities made contact with several agencies as well as the local sarpanch and then presented the necessary paperwork to the administration. With the help of ITBP officials, two trucks, one excavator, and one tractor for borewell operations arrived in the village on May 31. On June 2, two handpumps were turned on, and the joy of the locals knew no bounds. They gave ITBP soldiers food and expressed gratitude for their efforts since they were accustomed to drinking contaminated water from a nearby nullah.
"ITBP officials adopted the village and within a few months, solar pumps, electric wires and other necessary equipment will be provided to the villagers. All the costs will be borne by the 45Bn ITBP for this purpose," Assistant Commander Mishra said.
Local youths will be trained to join the CAPFS, Armed Forces, Bastar Fighters, and other government positions. Under several programmes, the community will be connected to the nearby roadways. As a result, these initiatives will not only transform the face of this village but will also send a good message to other nearby communities, as well as aid in the fight against Maoist propaganda in the region. This year, the ITBP will also implement a Civic Action Programme in these areas in order to improve things even further.

Love Island contestant Luca Bish’s family have taken to social media to poke fun at the star and his relationship with fellow islander Gemma Owen.
23-year-old Luca entered the villa and had his sights set on Gemma Owen, England footballer Michael Owen’s daughter, and made a beeline for her at the recoupling.
The pair are now considered a couple but their relationship has been far from easy as Luca has been caught up to two love triangles with Gemma so far.
Davide Sanclimente was Gemma’s initial partner, from whom Luca stole her, and when all seemed calm her ex-boyfriend Jacques suddenly burst onto the scene.
To make matters worse, one night as Luca gave her a shoulder massage, Gemma accidentally called him by Jacques’ name - who was standing right next to her.
Do you have a story about one of this year's Love Island stars? Contact us at staronlineshowbiz@reachplc.com
Luca was rattled by the fumble and was visibly annoyed by the amount of time Gemma and Jacques have been spending with each other.
Luca’s Instagram account is believed to be run by his sister while he’s in the villa and a hilarious video has recently appeared on his grid.
The short clip showed pictures of the Love Island star with text that read: “I wouldn’t dance for any girl”.
Then selfies of Gemma popped up on screen before a video of Luca dancing in fast forward played.
He danced goofily and flung his legs out to the side whilst he was being filmed wearing a black tracksuit.
The caption joked: “Life and ‘sole’ of the party,” as the islander works as a fishmonger away from the show.
Fans loved the sarcastic tone and took to the comments to share their thoughts on the silly clip.
One wrote: “He’s my favourite,” and signed off with a red love heart.
Another said they were “rooting for him” and “hopes he will win with Gemma,” while a doubtful fan said he was “too nice” for her and that he’s “so funny”.
The people running fellow islander Ikenna’s account used his profile to jokingly ask him whether Luca is “up for a dance battle,” while other followers simply left the Brighton-born lad laughing face emojis.

OlliOlli World's first expansion, Void Riders, has been released on Steam. It sees "skeezy" extraterrestrials attempting to abduct heroic human skaters for the purposes of the Nebulord, and introduces a new alien biome as well as a bunch of challenges and cosmetics.
The expansion changes up existing levels, too, and introduces a bunch of alien skaters. The big gameplay addition is tractor beams, which are dotted through the re-jigged levels and new biomes, and can be used both to gain height and maximise your time for performing tricks. Anti-gravity skating!
The expansion adds 15 levels, four bosses, and a whole bunch of difficult challenges. Don't let the expansion's jolly psychedelic aesthetic gloss over the fact that this is intended to put players through the wringer, with the ultimate goal being to challenge a skater known only as the Hyped One. Apparently there's some cow abduction going on too: I'm not sure how that works, but it also says here the expansion includes a cow onesie.
Void Riders is out now on Steam (opens in new tab), and free for players who bought the expansion pass. This is one of two planned expansions for OlliOlli World, which our resident skate guru Nat called (opens in new tab)"a wonderfully surreal skateboarding paradise, a vibrant rhythmic platformer played out on grind rails and halfpipes." Neon-clad aliens doing anti-grav kickflips certainly seems to fit with that. | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/olliolli-world-adds-skater-abducting-aliens/ | 2022-06-16T11:49:40Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/olliolli-world-adds-skater-abducting-aliens/ | false | 3 |
According to a report from Bild, FC Barcelona is preparing its next offer to Bayern Munich for Robert Lewandowski — one that could entice the Rekordmeister to part ways with his star striker:
According to BILD information, the offer will be around 50 million euros! According to information from SPORT BILD, the Munich team is already discussing the amount from which the club should start talks with Barcelona. Bayern did not respond to the first offer. 32 million plus five million euros in bonus payments was not enough! The record champions don’t even want to think about selling for less than 40 million euros.
The offer from FC Barcelona is dependent on a vote from the club’s membership on whether it should dip into further debt to make a move for Lewandowski happen. That vote will occur at a general meeting on Thursday.
Meanwhile, FC Barcelona lashed back at La Liga president Javier Tebas, who has insisted publicly that the Catalans cannot afford the Poland international.
“We were also meeting in the board of directors when these statements were released. We found out from the reaction of the player’s representatives who, logically alarmed, contacted us and we had no choice but to react. There was concern because, logically, if the establishment that has to decide something about a player’s participation in the league says something like this, it is really worrying. We see it as an interference,” said FC Barcelona vice president Barcelona vice president Eduard Romeu (as captured by 90min.com). “In the end, we understand that La Liga is there to defend the interests of the different clubs, including Barça. We’re not asking for preferential treatment, nothing different from anyone. We are simply asking for equal conditions, nothing more.” | https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/6/16/23170505/fc-barcelona-bayern-munich-robert-lewandowski-la-liga-president-javier-tebas-mane-transfer-sule-sane | 2022-06-16T11:50:00Z | https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/6/16/23170505/fc-barcelona-bayern-munich-robert-lewandowski-la-liga-president-javier-tebas-mane-transfer-sule-sane | true | 1 |

German, French, Italian leaders in Kyiv in show of support
Several air raid sirens rang out in Kyiv as French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi started a joint visit to show support for Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.
The three arrived in the Ukrainian capital early on Thursday after traveling together overnight in a train used to transport high-profile visitors to Ukraine, Reuters reported.
“It’s an important moment. It’s a message of unity we’re sending to the Ukrainians, of support, to talk both about the present and the future, since the coming weeks, as we know, will be very difficult,” Macron said as they arrived.
Macron, who had been criticized at home and abroad for not traveling to Ukraine earlier, had repeatedly said he would only go if and when the visit could be “useful” and not be just a symbolic show of support.
It remained to be seen what concrete steps he would announce, Reuters reported.
Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis will also join the three for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which are expected to touch on Kyiv’s bid to join the European Union as well as the war itself.
“We’re here, we’re focused, we will join President Zelenskiy to go to a war site where massacres have been carried out,” Macron said.
An Elysee official said the visit was happening now as it was just before an EU summit, scheduled for next week, that is due to discuss Kyiv’s bid to join the 27-nation bloc.
The European Union’s executive is expected to propose on Friday that Ukraine become a formal candidate for membership of the bloc, diplomats and officials say.
Zelenskiy meanwhile is expected to push his visitors to send more arms to help his hard-pressed army withstand the Russian invaders, Reuters reported.

Biden announces new $1 bln in weapons for Ukraine, Kyiv seeks more heavy arms
President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced a fresh U.S. infusion of $1 billion in weapons for Ukraine that includes anti-ship rocket systems, artillery rockets, howitzers and ammunition.
In a phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Biden said he told the embattled leader about the new weaponry.
“The United States is providing another $1 billion in security assistance for Ukraine, including additional artillery and coastal defense weapons, as well as ammunition for the artillery and advanced rocket systems,” Biden said in a statement after the 41-minute call.
The president also announced an additional $225 million in humanitarian assistance to help people in Ukraine, including by supplying safe drinking water, critical medical supplies and healthcare, food, shelter, and cash for families to purchase essential items.
The latest weapons packages for Ukraine include 18 howitzers, 36,000 rounds of ammunition for them, two Harpoon coastal defense systems, artillery rockets, secure radios, thousands of night vision devices and funding for training, the Pentagon said.
In Kyiv, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he had talked to Secretary of State Antony Blinken to thank him for the “crucial military assistance” from the United States.
“(I) emphasized that we urgently need more heavy weapons delivered more regularly,” he said on Twitter.
The aid packages, which come as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is meeting with allies in Brussels, were split into two categories: transfer of excess defense articles from U.S. stocks and other weapons being funded by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), a separate congressionally authorized program.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia on Wednesday accused Western countries of “fighting a proxy war with Russia,” telling reporters: “I would like to say to the Western countries supplying weaponry to Ukraine – the blood of civilians is on your hands.”
Ukraine is pressing the United States and other Western nations for speedy deliveries of weapons in the face of increased pressure from Russian forces in the eastern Donbas region.
Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, told reporters at an event organized by the German Marshall Fund: “We need all these weapons to be concentrated in a moment to defeat the Russians, not just keep coming every two or three weeks.”
In May, the Biden administration announced a plan to give Ukraine M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems after receiving assurances from Kyiv that it would not use them to hit targets inside Russian territory. Biden imposed the condition to try to avoid escalating the Ukraine war.
The rocket artillery in this aid package would have the same range as previous U.S. rocket shipments and is funded using Presidential Drawdown Authority, or PDA, in which the president can authorize the transfer of articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval in response to an emergency, said a source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
For the first time, the United States is sending ground-based Harpoon launchers. In May, Reuters reported the U.S. was working on potential solutions that included pulling a launcher off of a U.S. ship to help provide Harpoon missile launch capability to Ukraine.
Harpoons made by Boeing Co (BA.N) cost about $1.5 million per missile, according to experts and industry executives.

Russia considers Turkey’s possible military operation in Syria unwise
Russia considers Turkey’s possible military operation in Syria unwise as it could escalate and destabilise the situation, the RIA news agency cited Russia’s Syria envoy Alexander Lavrentyev as saying on Wednesday.
Lavrentyev also said Moscow no longer considered Geneva a suitable venue for talks between Syrians, according to the TASS agency.
The Russian envoy was in Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan on Wednesday for talks with Turkey, Iran, and the Syrian government and rebels.
Ankara says it must act in Syria because Washington and Moscow broke promises to push the predominantly Kurdish group YPG 30 km (18 miles) from the border after a 2019 Turkish offensive, and says attacks from YPG-controlled areas have increased.

NATO needs greater readiness, more weapons -military alliance chief
NATO must build out “even higher readiness” and strengthen its weapons capabilities along its eastern border in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the military alliance’s chief said on Tuesday.
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was speaking after informal talks in the Netherlands with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the leaders of Denmark, Poland, Latvia, Romania, Portugal and Belgium ahead of a wider NATO summit in Madrid at the end of the month.
“In Madrid, we will agree a major strengthening of our posture,” he said. “Tonight we discussed the need for more robust and combat-ready forward presence and an even higher readiness and more pre-positioned equipment and supplies.”
Responding to a call by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy earlier Tuesday for more long-range weapons, Stoltenberg said he agreed that Kyiv should be supplied with more heavy weaponry, but provided no details.
“Ukraine should have more heavy weapons and NATO allies and partners have provided heavy weapons … and they are also stepping up,” Stoltenberg said.
“In terms of weaponry, we stand united here that it is crucial for Russia to lose the war,” Dutch leader Rutte told reporters in The Hague. “And as we cannot have a direct confrontation between NATO troops and Russia, what we need to do is make sure that Ukraine can fight that war, that it has access to all the necessary weaponry.”
Asked about Sweden and Finland’s applications to join the alliance, Stoltenberg said he was seeking “a united way forward” to resolve opposition from Turkey, which has been angered by what it deems as Swedish support of Kurdish militants.
Following Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls “a special military operation”, NATO has boosted its presence in the Baltics.
Stoltenberg said NATO will deliver a further strengthening of the alliance when all 30 members meet June 29-30 in the Spanish capital.

USAG BENELUX-BRUNSSUM, Netherlands – Nearly 100 sheep arrived at U.S. Army Garrison Benelux - Brunssum June 3, 2022, to be released into a temporarily fenced grassy area on the post.
As part of the Department of Public Works (DPW) ecological mitigation plan, the sheep from a local business, Schaapskooi Mergelland, are given a few weeks to forage as an environmentally friendly way to maintain the grounds.
“We use the sheep to cut the vegetation,” said Julie Maessen, DPW environmental consultant. “When you just mow everything down then you are most likely hitting some of the protected species on base.”
Maessen explained that the sheep cut the plants much more slowly than a mower. This allows time for smaller critters to seek safe havens or find new habitats. The natterjack, a toad native to western Europe, is one example of a protected species in the Netherlands. It reproduces in the nearby quarries, and forages in the grassy areas at USAG Benelux – Brunssum. The effects of climate change have made survival more difficult for the natterjacks as they rely on pools of rainwater that must remain large enough so that the summer sun does not dry them up prematurely.
Watching out for endangered or protected species stands as a top priority for Dutch conservation organizations. Land inspections are essential before a renovation project is approved, and maintenance of land is also closely monitored.
Janine Lardenois, Schaapskooi Mergelland shepherd, explained how these inspections of the land make up a large part of her job when searching for the next project for her family’s sheep. Currently, their 3,000 sheep are delivered to various locations for foraging in support of biodiversity. Lardenois manages each project to ensure quality for the sheep and that the lands are maintained in a healthy manner. Her favorite element of the job remains shepherding: walking with the sheep in nature.
“When I was little, I was always with my dad, and I liked the way of life,” Lardenois said. “It’s a sort of freedom when you’re out in nature working the sheep and in the most beautiful places. It’s freedom on working time.”
In addition to the sheep, the family owns 20 border collies that accompany the projects and keep the sheep safe and together.
The USAG Benelux – Brunssum sheep serve more than just the purpose of cutting the grass; they also promote biodiversity. Their wool traps seeds from plants which then transports them to new locations. While some may see this spreading of weeds as not adding to beautification, “For the species, (biodiversity) is a good thing,” Maessen said.
Additionally, the sheep fertilize the ground, which can easily run bare and hard because of the surrounding minestone .
The sheep are not the only ecological project at USAG Benelux – Brunssum. Dead hedge barriers, or piles of stripped tree branches, around the post offer habitats for various creatures such as hedgehogs and birds.
“It’s an easy way to do a bit for nature,” said Maessen.
Maessen added that it is also convenient to avoid carting away pruning waste.
DPW also created a butterfly boulevard with a grassy, flowery mix of vegetation, which makes for a natural area conducive for butterfly reproduction. Their goal is to promote biodiversity in any capacity they can by monitoring sensitive areas on post and setting up mitigation plans.
After the sheep conclude their June visit on the installation, plans are set to bring them back in September once the vegetation has replenished.

Members of Soroptimist International of Paisley gathered to celebrate its 75th anniversary.
Renfrewshire Council put on the civic reception, hosted by Depute Provost Cathy McEwan, which was also attended by the President of Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland, Cathy Cottridge and Scotland South Region President, Aileen Eland.
Many members of other clubs in Scotland South attended along with two members from Soroptimist International of Harrogate, with whom the Paisley Club have a longstanding friendship link.
Don't miss the latest headlines from around Renfrewshire. Sign up to our newsletters here.
Formed in 1945, the women’s club is woven into the history of Paisley and its people, through 75 years of activity and fundraising.
Amongst the club’s 28 founding members were Catherine Lobnitz of the Renfrew shipbuilding family; Mary Russell, after whom the school in Paisley is named, and Catherine C. Stewart, press representative of the Paisley Daily Express.
The club has supported many projects and organisations over the years including the Over 70s Club in 1947, the first ever club for the elderly in the town, which ran until 1970.
Members have served meals to homeless people, served on the Local Health Council and were also on the committee which established the Accord Hospice.
Donations of money and goods were sent to help orphans in Romania, to sponsor a child in the Goodwill Children’s Village in Southern India and to Soroptimist projects in many parts of the world.
A spokesperson for the club said: “More recently members have been involved in raising awareness of human trafficking, and the need to prevent violence against women.
“We support Renfrewshire Women’s Aid and were marshals for the annual Reclaim the Night walk, held to mark the UN 16 days of action against violence against women.
“In 2020 during lockdown, we received recognition from Provost Lorraine Cameron for the Club’s outstanding contribution to the community in the face of adversity during a global pandemic.
“Despite having to move online in order to continue meeting, our members provided financial and practical help to the local community through groups such as Renfrewshire Foodbank, the STAR project and Renfrewshire Women’s Aid.
“In December 2021, a rowan tree was planted in the Peace Garden at Barshaw Park to mark the Centenary of Soroptimist International.
“The tree is also a sign of our optimism for the future, as we look forward, and continue to work to support women and girls to achieve their individual and collective potential.”

C & C Heating & Air Conditioning offers tips to help homeowners determine if they need to replace their residential ductwork
DETROIT, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, a leading Detroit-area heating and cooling company with more than six decades of experience, says installing new ductwork can help homeowners lower utility bills and reduce mold, dust and other airborne allergens that can cause respiratory problems.
"When people consider updating their HVAC system, they often overlook their ductwork, but this can be a costly mistake," said Dayna Hottle, general manager of C & C Heating and Air Conditioning. "ENERGY STAR points out that 20-30% of the air that moves through the ductwork is lost due to leaks and poorly connected ducts. With the cost of energy on the rise, making sure your ductwork is as healthy as your HVAC system can help reduce some of that cost."
Hottle said old or poorly functioning ductwork can also contribute to some respiratory illnesses since pollen, mold and other allergens can more easily enter a faulty duct network. She said homeowners should consider the following when determining whether they need new ductwork:
- A noisy HVAC system. While an HVAC unit will make some noise, it should not be annoyingly loud. Rattling and other odd noises can be caused by holes in the ductwork or damage to the joints connecting or holding up the ducts.
- Uneven heating and cooling. When one room is hot and another is the temperature it should be, this can be a sign of an obstruction in the ductwork or holes that are causing air to leak before it can be piped into various parts of the home.
- Pest infestation. Damaged ductwork is an invitation to bugs and rodents to set up homes in the duct system. Along with unpleasant smells, pests can introduce bacteria and microbes into a home's environment.
- Debris near vents. Once ductwork gets too dirty, homeowners will begin noticing dirty or dusty marks surrounding the vents. This is a result of dust, dirt, lint, pet hair and even small insects.
- Old ductwork. If the ductwork is more than 20 years old, it may simply need to be replaced due to age. Most ductwork can last about 20 to 25 years, but if the ductwork has other issues in addition to being near the end of its lifespan, it may be time to replace it.
"Sometimes you can get a few more years of use from your ductwork if you have it professionally cleaned and leaks repaired, but if it is very old or damaged in multiple locations, it is probably best to replace it," Hottle said.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Thousands of people marched in Bangladesh’s capital on Thursday to demand the governments of Bangladesh and India officially condemn comments by two Indian governing party officials deemed derogatory to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.
The march began at the country’s main Baitul Mukarram Mosque but was blocked by police as it headed toward India's Embassy, a few kilometers (miles) away.
The protesters demanded that Muslim-majority nations boycott Indian products and cut off ties with New Delhi, and that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina publicly condemn the comments made earlier by the two officials in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
Hasina has maintained warm relations with India. Information and Broadcast Minister Hasan Mahmud told a group of Indian journalists that the dispute is an internal Indian matter, according to reports by Indian media.
As they marched, the protesters chanted “Down with Modi” and “Insult to Islam, will not tolerate.” Many carried placards reading “We love Muhammad.”
After police stopped the march, a group of five people was allowed to head toward the Indian Embassy, according to Shahidul Islam Kabir, a spokesperson for the sponsors of the protest, Islami Andolon Bangladesh. The group vowed to continue its demonstrations.
India's governing party has suspended one of the officials and expelled the other, but protesters say the actions are not enough.
At least five Arab nations have condemned the remarks and lodged official protests against India. Pakistan and Afghanistan also reacted strongly to the comments by the two party officials. They follow increasing violence against India’s Muslim minority by Hindu nationalists who have been emboldened by Modi’s silence about such attacks since he was elected in 2014. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Thousands-march-in-Bangladesh-over-comments-about-17245516.php | 2022-06-16T12:01:06Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Thousands-march-in-Bangladesh-over-comments-about-17245516.php | true | 11 |

Motorists reminded to keep an eye on their pets as temperatures soar
It looks like summer has finally arrived with temperatures predicted to exceed 30C in some parts of the UK.
With the Met Office predicting peak heat to be reached by Friday for many, daytrips and coastal jaunts beckon.
But while many people will be out enjoying the sunshine, motorists are reminded to keep a vigilant eye on their pets in the heat.
"The hot weather has definitely been a long time coming so it's likely we'll see an increased footfall across our UK coastlines, parks and recreational areas this weekend," said Alex Kindred, car insurance expert at Confused.com.
"For motorists with pets, the decision to take them with us is always a popular choice. Our latest research found that nearly one in two (49 percent) of drivers travel with their four-legged friends, with dogs our most popular companion (68 percent).
"Our research found that three in 10 (30 percent) motorists have travelled more than 50 miles when with their pet, but the average motorists will only stop once during their journey.
"When travelling, it's important to keep your pet cool so that they don't become unwell. You can do this by:
Keeping the air conditioning on
Putting the sunshade on the window to block some of the sun coming in
Crack the window a little for some breeze, but not so much that your pet can put their head out of the window
Let your pet drink lots of cool water on your scheduled stops
Get cool pads for your pet to sit on
"It's also important to make sure that your pet is properly restrained when you travel, for the safety of all road users.
"You should also never leave your pets unattended in your vehicle, especially when temperatures soar.
"If you're travelling with pets this weekend, our guide on how to keep your pets safe while driving will help clear up any confusion, leaving you to plan a weekend in the sunshine." | https://www.ellontimes.co.uk/lifestyle/advice-for-motorists-travelling-with-pets-in-hot-weather-3733953 | 2022-06-16T12:17:33Z | https://www.ellontimes.co.uk/lifestyle/advice-for-motorists-travelling-with-pets-in-hot-weather-3733953 | true | 11 |
The family of British journalist Dom Phillips said they are “heartbroken” that he and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira have been murdered in the Amazon.
Mr Phillips’ UK-based loved ones released a brief statement in tribute to their beloved Dom and Mr Pereira after Brazilian authorities said on Thursday two bodies had been recovered from a remote location after their prime suspect confessed.
Brazil’s justice minister Anderson Torres said the remains were found near where the pair disappeared on June 5, while a federal investigator said fisherman Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, 41, had confessed to shooting the men.
In a statement, Mr Phillips’ family said: “Early this morning we were informed that two bodies have been recovered from a remote location after a confession from one of the men in custody.
“We are heartbroken at the confirmation that Dom and Bruno were murdered and extend our deepest sympathies to Alessandra, Beatriz and the other Brazilian family members of both men.”
Police were led to the site where human remains were recovered after a 10-day search.
Investigator Eduardo Alexandre Fontes said the fisherman told officers he used a gun to kill the pair and then led them deep into the forest to where he buried them.
Mr Phillips’ family said: “We are grateful to all those who have taken part in the search, especially the indigenous groups who worked tirelessly to find evidence of the attack.”
The bereaved relatives intend to issue a fuller tribute and their “perspective on the courageous lives and important work of these remarkable men” but for the moment are trying to deal privately with their grief.
They asked for privacy from the media.
Mr Fontes told a press conference in the city of Manaus that police “would have no way of getting to that spot quickly without the confession”.
The remains are expected to be identified within days, and if confirmed as the missing men, “will be returned to the families of the two”.
He said the bodies were found nearly two miles into the woods and that rescue teams travelled for about one hour and 40 minutes on the river and another 25 minutes into the woods to reach the burial spot.
Federal police said more arrests will soon be made.
Leading environmentalists said they were “shocked and saddened” by the killings and called for the Brazilian authorities to fully investigate.
Greenpeace UK’s executive director Pat Venditti described the pair as “brave, passionate and determined men” who had carried out the “vital work of shining a light” on the daily threats Brazil’s indigenous peoples face in defending their land and rights.
Suggesting the murders are the latest in a series of attacks that have turned the Amazon into “a vast crime scene”, he added: “Enough is enough.
“The world must wake up and take every step to bring the intolerable violence and repression happening in the Amazon to an end. The greatest tribute we can pay Bruno and Dom now is to continue their vital work until all of Brazil’s peoples and their forests are fully protected.”
WWF chief executive Tanya Steele said: “We stand with our colleagues in Brazil in condemning their murder and this lawlessness in one of the most precious and fragile landscapes in the world, home to thousands of indigenous people.”
It comes after former Tory prime minister Theresa May insisted the UK must do “everything it can” to press Brazilian authorities to uncover the truth about the disappearances.
Mrs May made the plea on Wednesday to Prime minister Boris Johnson in the House of Commons after police arrested a second suspect.
Mr Johnson said Foreign Office officials are working closely with Brazilian authorities.
He said: “The minister responsible has raised the issue repeatedly, the search and rescue efforts, with Brazil’s justice and public security minister and what we told the Brazilians is we stand ready to provide all the support that they may need.”
The PA news agency contacted the Foreign Office early on Thursday for comment on the remains being found.
Earlier, the Brazilian ambassador to the UK apologised to Mr Phillips’ family after they were incorrectly told his body had been found.
According to The Guardian, the family received a call from an aide to the ambassador early on Monday, saying their bodies had been discovered tied to trees in the rainforest.
However, Mr Phillips’ brother-in-law, Paul Sherwood, confirmed to the PA news agency on Tuesday that ambassador Fred Arruda had written to the family to say the statement was incorrect. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/16/journalists-family-are-heartbroken-after-murders-confirmed-in-remote-amazon/ | 2022-06-16T12:27:15Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/16/journalists-family-are-heartbroken-after-murders-confirmed-in-remote-amazon/ | true | 9 |

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO defense ministers gathered Thursday for talks focusing on bolstering forces and deterrence along the military alliance’s eastern borders to dissuade Russia from planning further aggression.
The war by the Kremlin in Ukraine since February has led allies to rethink strategies and to agree that NATO forces should be present in greater numbers on that flank. They have already beefed up the deployment of troops and material and want to guarantee a long-term presence of forces.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine, NATO says it has placed over 40,000 troops under its direct command, mainly on the eastern flank.
NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said allies will take decisions on the scale of their posture for the the longer term “to ensure that we can defend every inch of Allied territory.”
The meeting of defense ministers came ahead of a June 29-30 NATO summit in Madrid that will seek to set a determined course for the alliance in coming years.
Germany has already announced its plans to strengthen its engagement in Lithuania, while France wants to increase its presence in Romania, where it plans to have deployed 1,000 troops reinforced with Leclerc tanks by the end of the year.
Artis Pabriks, the Latvian defense minister, said the military alliance should position larger armed forces and material in Baltic countries.
“We want an improved planning, we want a headquarters structure, we want pre-positioning of different types of equipment, so if a crisis would come we should not wait,” he said.
Discussions in Brussels will also focus on the need for more defense spending, Stoltenberg said, with the bids from Sweden and Finland to join the alliance also on the table.
Stoltenberg saluted the United States’ decision to send an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine and said NATO allies are “prepared to continue to provide substantial, unprecedented support” to the country.
The latest package, the U.S. said, includes 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. All are key weapons systems that Ukrainian leaders have urgently requested as they battle to stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region.
Speaking alongside Stoltenberg, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin praised the “historic decision” by Finland and Sweden to apply for NATO membership, expressing his hopes that discussions will continue to progress favorably.
Turkey has clearly voiced its opposition to the Nordic pair’s NATO accession and Stoltenberg has been working hard to try to break the deadlock. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists Finland and Sweden must show more respect for Turkish sensitivities about terrorism. He is refusing to budge over what he says is their alleged support for Kurdish militants. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/international/ap-international/nato-ministers-discuss-boosting-eastern-flank-forces/ | 2022-06-16T12:32:40Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/international/ap-international/nato-ministers-discuss-boosting-eastern-flank-forces/ | false | 25 |

The former ethics adviser resigned on Wednesday evening with his scathing letter to Prime Minister now revealed, in which he says he almost went over the partygate scandal.
Lord Geidt said he was forced to quit when he was tasked with offering a view on the Government’s “intention to consider measures which risk a deliberate and purposeful breach of the ministerial code”.
The Prime Minister’s response indicated that it was relating to advice on the Trade Remedies Authority.
He wrote to the Prime Minister: “This week, however, I was tasked to offer a view about the Government’s intention to consider measures which risk a deliberate and purposeful breach of the Ministerial Code.
"This request has placed me in an impossible and odious position. My informal response on Monday was that you and any other Minister should justify openly your position vis-a-vis the Code in such circumstances.
"However, the idea that a Prime Minister might to any degree be in the business of deliberately breaching his own Code is an affront.
"A deliberate breach, or even an intention to do so, would be to suspend the provisions of the Code to suit a political end.
”This would make a mockery not only of respect for the Code but licence the suspension of its provisions in governing the conduct of Her Majesty’s Ministers.
"I can have no part in this. Because of my obligation as a witness in Parliament, this is the first opportunity I have had to act on the Government’s intentions. I therefore resign from this appointment with immediate effect.”
The Prime Minister thanked him for his service, but disputed he had plans to break the rules.
In his response, Mr Johnson said his intention was to seek Lord Geidt’s “advice on the national interest in protecting a crucial industry”.
He said the unspecified industry “is protected in other European countries and would suffer material harm if we do not continue to apply such tariffs”.
Mr Johnson insisted the matter has previously had cross-party support and that the request would be in line with domestic law “but might be seen to conflict” with the UK’s obligations under the World Trade Organisation.
“In seeking your advice before any decision was taken, I was looking to ensure that we acted properly with due regard to the ministerial code,” Mr Johnson insisted. | https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/boris-johnson-planned-deliberate-breach-of-ministerial-code-lord-geidt-claims-amid-resignation-3734011 | 2022-06-16T12:38:34Z | https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/boris-johnson-planned-deliberate-breach-of-ministerial-code-lord-geidt-claims-amid-resignation-3734011 | true | 1 |
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2022) - BASIN URANIUM CORP. (CSE: NCLR) (OTC Pink: BURCF) (FSE: 6NP0) ("Basin Uranium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of geophysical surveying at its Mann Lake project located 25 km southwest of the McArthur River Mine and 15 km to the northeast along strike of Cameco's Millennium uranium deposit. The geophysical program consists of 350-line-kilometres of airborne mobile magnetotellurics (mobile MT) flown at 200-meter line spacing. A comprehensive ground-based gravity survey will also be commencing in the coming weeks.
"Building on the success of our phase one drill program, which targeted interpreted basement conductors, successfully intersected uranium mineralization in multiple drill holes" commented Basin CEO Mike Blady. "This geophysical survey we are embarking on will look to significantly expand the geophysical database to both identify new prospective conductive corridors and/or features, in addition to refining the resolution of known conductors to better define follow-up drill targets for later this year. The use of mobile MT surveying has been successful in the identification and delineation of a number of significant uranium deposits within the Athabasca Basin."
Expert Geophysics Limited (EGL) is a geophysical company specializing in airborne geophysical surveys worldwide with advanced electromagnetic systems. EGL will be flying approximately 350-line-kilometres of mobile magnetotellurics (mobile MT), which is used to detect where basement features coincide with graphitic zones - the most significant marker for identifying prospective uranium deposits. This survey is superior to other airborne electromagnetic (EM) surveys given greater depth of investigation and sensitivity in conductive environments and under conductive units.

Global organizations say they're ready to team up with partners to make it happen
DALLAS, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced a new study* revealing the prospect of improved security and privacy capabilities are the main motivations behind private 5G wireless network projects.
To read a full copy of the report, Security Expectations in Private 5G Networks: A journey with partners, please visit here or join the webinar with Trend Micro and 451 Research on June 23 here.
"Private 5G networks are cloudy: two-thirds of respondents told us their deployments will use the technology in some way," said Eric Hanselman, chief analyst at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global market intelligence. "Yet the cloud's shared responsibility model means these enterprise customers will need to build their own security capabilities. They said they'll need expert security partners to help them on this journey. Organizations have great expectations for 5G security, but the quality of their partnerships will be the real differentiator."
Across smart factories, smart hospitals, and other locations, a growing range of organizations is looking to private 5G networks for coverage, control, low latency, and enhanced security as one of the enterprise networks.
"We see security risk management as one of the key drivers of the business. There is also a strong desire to focus on ensuring organizations achieve situational awareness across IT, OT, and CT communication technology, such as private 5G," said Yohei Ishihara, security evangelist at Trend Micro.
However, such environments raise a different set of security issues than those in traditional IT and OT environments. While the biggest concern (31%) for respondents is the exposure of data carried on the private wireless network, they also highlighted top key attack vectors, including:
- OS software vulnerabilities (37%)
- Configuration errors (34%)
- Networking equipment vulnerability (33%)
- Device vulnerabilities on RAN (31%) and CORE (27%) networks
- Compromise of connected network (27%)
Adding further challenges to security projects is the fact that nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents expect full integration of private wireless network security with existing operational security. More than half (55%) also want to make this work via automated connections.
Given the complexity of such projects, it is not surprising that over half (58%) of respondents said they would carry out risk assessments either jointly with partners or outsourcing the task completely, while 33% said they'd work with a third party.
Industry-specific security experience (24%) is the top criteria for organizations looking for IT partners, and 19% of them say they want to work with existing partners.
*Trend Micro commissioned 451 Research to poll 400 information security decision-makers from 400 US, Germany, UK, and Spain organizations.

(The Hill) – Rep. Tom Rice’s (R-S.C.) primary loss in South Carolina on Tuesday made him the first Republican lawmaker who voted for former President Donald Trump’s impeachment to be defeated in a primary.
But Rice wasn’t the only one to vote to impeach Trump in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. In all, 10 House Republicans moved to impeach the former president, and while half of them have chosen not to seek reelection, others are taking their chances with voters this year.
Here’s where the 10 pro-impeachment House Republicans currently stand.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.)
Herrera Beutler is facing eight challengers in the Aug. 2 primary in Washington’s 3rd district, including four Republicans. Trump has already weighed in on the race, endorsing GOP candidate Joe Kent’s bid to oust Herrera Beutler.
While Kent has seized on Herrera Beutler’s impeachment vote on the campaign trail, however, that may not be the deciding factor in the race.
Washington’s 3rd district, while favoring Republicans, has a more moderate lean than Rice’s district, for example, and Herrera Beutler has sought to court the support of Democrats and independents alike ahead of the August all-party primary.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)
As one of the highest-profile Republican backers of Trump’s second impeachment, Cheney has already paid a massive political price. House Republicans voted last year to strip her of her leadership role and have all but isolated her within their ranks.
Since then, things haven’t gotten easier for Cheney. She’s facing four different primary challengers, including Trump’s endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman.
It’s too early to write Cheney off. She has a sizable cash advantage over Hageman and virtually universal name recognition. But she’s also running for reelection in a state that Trump won by a 44-point margin. And while public polling has been scarce, two recent surveys commissioned by pro-Hageman groups showed Cheney trailing in the primary by double-digits.
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio)
Gonzalez, a former NFL player and two-term congressman, became the first pro-impeachment House Republican to announce that he would not seek reelection in 2022, choosing to bow out of the race instead of facing a ferocious primary.
While Gonzalez cited family considerations in his decision to not seek a third term in the House, his political difficulties were already clear: He was already facing a primary challenge from Max Miller, a former Trump aide.
The redistricting process eventually prompted Miller to run in another district. Still, Gonzalez’s decision to retire underscored the political distress that those in the GOP who voted to impeach Trump are under.
Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.)
Katko joined other pro-impeachment House Republicans in January in announcing his retirement.
But he has also denied that Trump’s pledge to oust GOP lawmakers who voted for impeachment factored into his decision not to seek a fifth term in the House, telling The Washington Post in March that he is confident that he would have won had he decided to run for reelection this year.
“I was quite certain, even with the redistricting that was done in New York state, that I had a path to victory,” Katko said. “And I had a very good path to victory.”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.)
Along with Cheney, Kinzinger is among Trump’s most prominent Republican critics in the House and also serves on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Unlike Cheney, however, he’s not seeking reelection this year.
Kinzinger announced in October that he would step down after his current term. But his reasoning for bowing out of Congress wasn’t necessarily tied to his impeachment vote. Rather, he announced his retirement after Illinois state lawmakers approved a new congressional map that drew him into the same district as Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), a more reliable Trump ally.
Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.)
Meijer is also facing a primary on Aug. 2 when he will square off against John Gibbs, a Trump-endorsed former assistant secretary in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
So far, he appears to be in good shape. He has a massive financial advantage over Gibbs and has already booked hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising.
Still, he hasn’t made his impeachment vote a central part of his political identity and hasn’t shied away from attacking the Biden administration over everything from rising inflation to ongoing supply chain issues.
Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.)
Newhouse, a four-term congressman from central Washington, is facing seven opponents in an Aug. 2 open primary, including six Republicans and one Democrat. The top-two finishers in the nominating contest will advance to the November general election.
Given the strong Republican tilt of Washington’s 4th congressional district, the biggest threat to Newhouse’s political survival is likely to come from within his own party.
Trump has endorsed Loren Culp, a former police chief, in the race, though Culp lags Newhouse badly into the money race. According to their latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, Newhouse is sitting on more than $928,000, while Culp has less than $47,000 on hand.
Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.)
Rice’s vote last year to impeach Trump came as a surprise to many political observers. Up to that point, the South Carolina congressman had been a stalwart supporter of the former president and his agenda.
But despite his past support for Trump, Rice never walked back his criticism or expressed regret over his impeachment vote, saying recently that if he loses reelection because of it, he would “wear it like a badge.”
That strategy ultimately cost him a sixth term in the House on Tuesday, when Republican voters in South Carolina’s 7th District chose Trump-endorsed state Rep. Russel Fry as their nominee over Rice.
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.)
Like Kinzinger and Gonzalez, Upton decided to forgo a reelection bid this year, ringing in the end of a nearly four-decade long career in Congress.
While Upton voted to impeach Trump last year, it wasn’t the only instance in which he broke with the former president. The Michigan congressman was also one of the few GOP backers of a sweeping $1 trillion infrastructure bill that was championed by President Biden and congressional Democrats.
Ultimately, Upton made the decision to retire in April after redistricting drew him into the same district as Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.). Trump has endorsed Huizenga.
Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.)
Trump didn’t endorse one of Valadao’s challengers ahead of California’s June 7 primaries, but the first-term congressman’s political future isn’t yet safe.
Democrat Rudy Salas emerged as the top vote-getter in the state’s all-party primary earlier this month, earning him a spot on the ballot in November. Valadao is currently sitting in second place with about 26 percent of the vote.
If he remains in second place, he’ll advance to the November election. Still, the divided Republican vote underscores the political peril that potentially awaits Valadao. | https://www.informnny.com/news/politics/where-the-10-house-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-trump-stand/ | 2022-06-16T12:48:31Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/politics/where-the-10-house-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-trump-stand/ | true | 17 |
Tachyum today announced it has entered into an agreement with Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies (KInIT) in Slovakia to collaborate on scientific research and innovations in artificial intelligence (AI); initiate scientific and commercial cooperation on matters of common interest; develop cooperation in the field of commercialization of scientific knowledge and intellectual property; and seek collaboration in the field of AI research and its transfer into industrial technology.
KInIT is an independent non-profit research institute with a mission to connect industry with excellent science. KInIT is focused on intelligent technologies, artificial intelligence in particular. It brings together and nurtures experts in artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science, with connections to other disciplines. By partnering with private companies like Tachyum, KInIT aims to create a healthy research ecosystem that connects academia, private organizations, public sector and above all the international community.
"KInIT's goal is to make Slovakia a great research space where innovations can thrive. As a matter of priority, we must deal with the current brain drain situation and the lack of efficient collaboration between the public and private sectors and academia," said Professor Maria Bielikova, Director General of KInIT. "I believe that our partnership with Tachyum will foster sustainable innovation and contribute to creating an attractive environment for the most skilled talents."
Tachyum recently announced two rack-based reference designs that deliver significantly more AI performance at dramatically lower power than the most powerful AI supercomputers available today. With its higher performance and performance per dollar and per watt, Tachyum's Prodigy processor will enable Slovakia to procure the world's fastest AI supercomputer delivering up to 128 exaflops of AI computing performance. This will enable Slovakia to deliver for the first time in the history of humanity, a human brain-scale AI supercomputerand attract the world's talents.
"We continue to seek out partnerships with organizations like KInIT that foster an environment of learning and achievement to move the progress of AI innovation forward," said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of Tachyum. "We share mutual goals of attracting diverse talent in a multidisciplinary research environment focused on intelligent technologies, connect the private and public sectors through active cooperation, and encourage responsible innovation. This MoU enables all of this to happen in a productive manner."
Prodigy has the potential to create unrivaled computational speed and vast energy saving capabilities for hyperscale, OEM, telecommunication, private cloud and government markets. Prodigy's 10x lower processor core power consumption will dramatically cut carbon emissions associated with data center usage. Prodigy's 3x lower cost (at equivalent performance) will also translate to billions of dollars in annual savings to hyperscalers like Google, Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba.
Tachyum's Prodigy processor can run HPC applications, convolutional AI, explainable AI, general AI, bio AI, and spiking neural networks, plus normal data center workloads, on a single homogeneous processor platform, using existing standard programming models. Without Prodigy, hyperscale data centers must use a combination of disparate CPU, GPGPU (General-purpose GPU) and TPU hardware, for these different workloads, creating inefficiency, expense, and the complexity of separate supply and maintenance infrastructures. Using specific hardware dedicated to each type of workload (e.g. data center, AI, HPC), results in underutilization of hardware resources, and more challenging programming, support, and maintenance. Prodigy's ability to seamlessly switch among these various workloads dramatically changes the competitive landscape and the economics of data centers.

The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) crashed further against the US Dollar (USD) and posted losses in the interbank market today.
It depreciated by 0.58 percent against the USD and closed at Rs. 207.67 after losing Rs. 1.21 in the interbank market today. The local unit hit an intra-day low of Rs. 207.70 against the USD during today’s open market session. Since the arrival of the new government on 11 April, the greenback is up by Rs. 25.28 against the PKR.
The rupee shattered all records against the dollar today after the government on late Wednesday night dropped its biggest ever petroleum prices bombshell on the country. The price of petrol has been increased by Rs. 24.03 per liter, the price of diesel has been increased by Rs. 59.16 per liter, and the price of kerosene oil and light diesel oil has also been increased. With this hike, starting from June 16, the price of petrol will be Rs. 233.89 per liter, diesel will be Rs. 263.31, kerosene oil will be sold for Rs. 211.43, and the price of light diesel oil will be Rs. 207.47.
This hike coincides with the International Monetary Fund’s prevalent condition for Pakistan to abolish all subsidies on petroleum products in order to kickstart the lender’s $6 billion bailout program.
In terms of global factors hitting where it stings, the US Federal Reserve raised its interest rate by half a percentage point for the first time in 22 years in order to get a handle on the worst inflation in almost four decades. With the dollar long being the world’s main reserve unit, the US considered it best to raise massive debt and print money to “weather major economic crises”.
Oil prices erased early gains on Thursday a day after a fall triggered by a US interest rate hike. Prices slipped more than 2 percent as investors continued to largely focus on tight supply over the Western countries’ limited access to Russian crude.
Brent crude settled above $117 after briefly testing the $118 level, while the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settled at $114 per barrel.
The PKR dipped further against most of the other major currencies in the interbank market today. It lost 29 paisas against the Saudi Riyal (SAR), 33 paisas against the UAE Dirham (AED), Rs. 1.32 against the Canadian Dollar (CAD), Rs. 2.02 against the Australian Dollar (AUD), and Rs. 2.11 against the Pound Sterling (GBP).
Conversely, it gained 51 paisas against the Euro (EUR) in today’s interbank currency market.
I wish dollar will be trade at 500+ soon Insha’Allah
Pakistan is just a paradise for the freelancer community.

US author James Patterson has apologised for claiming that white male writers having issues finding work is a “form of racism”.
The 75-year-old made the comments in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, saying he thinks it is hard for white men to get writing opportunities in various fields.
He is quoted as saying it is “just another form of racism”, adding: “Can you get a job? Yes. Is it harder? Yes. It’s even harder for older writers. You don’t meet many 52-year-old white males.”
Following the remarks, Patterson faced a backlash from the public and fellow authors on social media, with some noting he earned, according to Forbes, 80 million US dollars (£66.3 million) in 2020.
Business magazine Forbes also classified him as “America’s highest paid author” in 2020, having sold nearly five million books in the US between June 2019 and 2020.
Responding to the backlash, Patterson posted a statement on his Twitter, saying: “I apologise for saying white male writers having trouble finding work is a form of racism.
“I absolutely do not believe that racism is practiced against white writers.
“Please know that I strongly support a diversity of voices being heard — in literature, in Hollywood, everywhere.”
Patterson is one of the world’s most successful authors, having reportedly sold nearly 450 million books.
His best known work is The Women’s Murder Club series and his Alex Cross series, which follows a black detective who deals with threats to his family and the city of Washington DC.
He currently has two books on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction, including the 22nd book in his Women’s Murder Club series with his co-writer Maxine Paetro.
Also on the list is his new thriller Run Rose Run, written with Dolly Parton, which is being adapted for the big screen – with the country singer due to star.
The author has also previously collaborated with former US President Bill Clinton on two political thriller novels.
He recently penned his first memoir, titled James Patterson by James Patterson. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4418760/james-patterson-apologises-for-claiming-white-male-authors-experience-racism/ | 2022-06-16T12:54:32Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4418760/james-patterson-apologises-for-claiming-white-male-authors-experience-racism/ | true | 5 |
Nevada Republican Jim Marchant insisted there hadn’t been a legitimate election in his state in more than a decade. All of Nevada’s election winners since 2006, he said on a recent podcast, were “installed by the deep-state cabal.”
But when Marchant won the Republican nomination for Nevada secretary of state this week, he immediately celebrated the victory as legitimate.
“I am beyond humbled by the overwhelming support of our campaign. Nevadans made their voices heard,” Marchant declared on social media.
Such inconsistency has become a hallmark of election deniers in Republican primary contests across the U.S. in this year’s midterms. Dozens of GOP candidates who sought former President Donald Trump’s backing in Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and elsewhere have spent months parroting his baseless claims of 2020 election fraud but then declared victory without raising such concerns in their own elections.
Amid such seeming hypocrisy, many Republican candidates are still vowing to pursue a series of election reforms that could make it more difficult to vote — particularly for those who traditionally support Democrats — in the name of election integrity.
Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison warned that “MAGA Republicans will do anything in their desperate chase for power.”
“From undermining our democracy by spreading Trump’s Big Lie, to laying the groundwork to try to cancel votes when they don’t agree with the outcome, but falling silent if they win, this is today’s Republican Party,” Harrison told The Associated Press.
In Nevada on Tuesday, Marchant was among a slate of election deniers who secured their places on the November ballot without questioning the legitimacy of the results. The group included candidates for Senate, state treasurer and a Las Vegas-area congressional seat. That’s even as the majority of counties relied upon Dominion voting machines, which continue to be the target of conspiracy theories by Trump and his allies.
The phenomenon extends well beyond Nevada.
In Pennsylvania, Republican nominee for governor Doug Mastriano spearheaded a state Senate hearing in which witnesses — including former Trump campaign attorneys Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani — aired false claims about mass voter fraud. Mastriano also was outside the U.S. Capitol when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building during the deadly 2021 insurrection. And he later tried to bring a partisan election audit to Pennsylvania before he was stripped of his committee chairmanship by his own party.
Mastriano made no mention of voter fraud as he declared victory in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary for governor last month.
“God is good,” a smiling Mastriano told cheering supporters.
The Mastriano campaign declined to respond to a question about the apparent double standard.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also ignored questions about his contradictory positions on voter fraud.
Paxton won his fiercely contested primary last month after spending much of the last year championing Trump’s bogus claims of election fraud. In the aftermath of Joe Biden’s presidential win, Paxton filed a legal challenge to the election results in four battleground states. He asked the U.S. Supreme Court to set them aside and allow the Republican-controlled state legislatures to determine the winner.
Seventeen other Republican state attorneys general supported the effort.
The high court rejected the challenge three days after the lawsuit was filed, finding Texas did not have standing to sue other states over how they conduct their elections. And the state bar moved to discipline Paxton just days after his primary win, claiming his leading role in petitioning the Supreme Court to block Biden’s victory was “dishonest.”
State and federal election officials across the country and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud also were roundly rejected by courts, including by judges he appointed.
But after nearly two years of Trump’s constant claims that the election was “stolen,” which have been embraced by hundreds of Republican candidates across the U.S. seeking his support, an extraordinary number of Americans have lost faith in the U.S. election system.
Only 45% of U.S. adults said they have significant confidence that votes in the 2022 midterm election will be counted accurately, and 30% have some confidence, according to a February AP-NORC poll. Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to be very confident, 66% vs. 24%.
Polling continues to show most Republicans have doubts about the 2020 presidential election. In July 2021, 68% of adults — but only 33% of Republicans — said Biden was legitimately elected president, according to an AP-NORC poll. Sixty-six percent of Republicans said he was not legitimately elected.
In addition to key state officials, several Trump-backed Senate candidates promoted the specter of election fraud over and over — except when delivering their primary victory speeches in recent weeks.
Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker repeatedly claimed Biden’s victory was tainted by fraud over the last year and even called for seven swing states Trump lost to vote again. Ohio GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance claimed the 2020 election was “rigged” or “stolen.” North Carolina Senate nominee Ted Budd, a Republican congressman, refused on the day of his May primary victory to say that Biden won the 2020 presidential election. And Pennsylvania Republican nominee for Senate Mehmet Oz said there was “definitely” widespread fraud in his state, even as the evidence says otherwise.
None raised similar claims about their own primary victories.
In Nevada, state GOP Chair Michael McDonald said Marchant acknowledging his primary win wasn’t hypocritical because he continued to have questions about vote-counting in the Las Vegas area.
“He was questioning the results last night, even though he was winning, which I found admirable,” McDonald said, recounting a 1:30 a.m. phone call with Marchant.
Marchant did not respond to requests for comment, but his campaign consultant Rory McShane said he continued to have questions about voting in Clark County, which leans Democratic and is where the vast majority of the state’s population lives, despite the race being called for him.
There may be no more vocal proponent of Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud falsehoods than Marchant, a 66-year-old former failed congressional candidate.
Marchant was present in Carson City when the party sent a dueling slate of electoral votes to Congress in December 2020. Throughout the primary, he was a fixture at rural county commission meetings during discussions about Dominion voting machines and potentially switching to hand-counting ballots. And he has toured the country with other 2020 election denialists, using phrases and terminology associated with QAnon conspiracy theorists.
Cisco Aguilar, the Democrat running against Marchant, described the Republican’s statements about the 2020 election, voting machines and mail-in ballots as out of touch with reality.
In an interview, Aguilar said he feels immense responsibility after Marchant’s victory and said he’s now weighing questions he hadn’t anticipated when he entered the race, such as whether agreeing to a debate would be giving a conspiracy theorist a platform.
“He’s created a massive fear among a subgroup of individuals here in Nevada,” Aguilar said. “I don’t even know if you can have a debate with someone who is unwilling to listen.” | https://www.wdtn.com/nexstar-media-wire/election-deniers-quiet-on-fraud-claims-after-winning-primaries/ | 2022-06-16T12:56:07Z | https://www.wdtn.com/nexstar-media-wire/election-deniers-quiet-on-fraud-claims-after-winning-primaries/ | false | 90 |
WASHINGTON – Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as the U.S. job market remains strong in the face of rising inflation and interest rates.
Applications for jobless aid fell by 3,000 to 229,000 for the week ending June 11, down from the previous week's 232,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications generally represent the number of layoffs.
The four-week average for claims, which evens out some of the week-to-week volatility, rose by 2,750 from the previous week, to 218,500.
The total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits for the week ending June 4 was 1,312,000. That figure has hovered near 50-year lows for months.
While Americans have enjoyed historically strong job security and higher wages recently, much of that has been offset by four-decade high inflation.
The Labor Department reported last week that consumer prices surged 8.6% last month — even more than in April — from a year earlier. The Federal Reserve responded by raising its main borrowing rate by three-quarters of a point on Wednesday, its main tool for fighting rising prices. Wednesday's increase is on top of a half-point increase in early May.
Earlier this month, the government reported that U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure. Though the job growth in May was healthy, it was the lowest monthly gain in a year and there have been signs that more layoffs could be on the horizon.
Jobless claims application this week and last week, though still relatively low, were the highest since the first weeks of the year.
Online automotive retailer Carvana said last month that it’s letting go about 2,500 workers, roughly 12% of its workforce. Online real estate broker Redfin, under pressure from a housing market that's cooled due to higher interest rates, said Tuesday that it was laying off 8% of its workers. | https://www.local10.com/business/2022/06/16/fewer-americans-apply-for-jobless-aid-last-week/ | 2022-06-16T12:59:52Z | https://www.local10.com/business/2022/06/16/fewer-americans-apply-for-jobless-aid-last-week/ | false | 110 |
At its session in Sirte yesterday, Libya’s parliament, the House of Representatives (HoR), unanimously approved the 2022 budget presented by the Fathi Bashagha government.
The budget totalled 89,689,376,000 Libyan dinars, less than the HoR recognized Libyan government led by Fathi Bashagha had asked for.
According to the HoR’s Official Spokesperson, Abdalla Belheeg, the unanimously approved budget received 103 votes, with 98 votes present at the session and 5 members reportedly voting electronically. This still leaves the total 17 short for the 120 votes widely perceived as the necessary quorum.
Bashagha does not get his requested LD 94 billion

Spain: ALL-TIME HIGH for exports. CC/Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
Spanish merchandise exports rose by 23.2 per cent in the first four months of 2022 compared to the same period last year and reached €120.925 billion, an all-time high for the period.
Imports also reached an all-time high and rose by 39 per cent to €142,736 million, as shown in the latest declared trade data from Customs.
The Secretary of State for Trade, Xiana Mendez, confirmed that “trade in goods continued to be very dynamic in April and Spanish exports continued to grow strongly, stronger than the exports of our main trading partners.”
In fact, the year-on-year growth of Spanish exports between January and April this year (23.2 per cent) was higher than that recorded in the EU-27 (19.1 per cent), the Eurozone (19.6 per cent), Italy (20.7 per cent), France (18.6 per cent), Germany (10.7 per cent) and the UK (10.2 per cent). Outside Europe, sales also grew in the USA (18.8 per cent), China (10.3 per cent) and Japan (14.0 per cent).
The main positive contributions to the annual rate of change of exports in January-April 2022 came from the chemicals, energy products, non-chemical semi-manufactures and food, beverages and tobacco sectors. No sector had a significant negative contribution.
The autonomous communities with the highest growth in exports were the Canary Islands (93.9 per cent), the Community of Madrid (56.7 per cent) and Andalusia (28 per cent).

According to statistics released Wednesday by U.S. safety regulators, automakers reported nearly 400 crashes over 10 months involving vehicles with partially automated driver-assist systems, including 273 with Teslas.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cautioned against using the numbers to compare automakers, saying it didn't weigh them by the number of vehicles from each manufacturer that uses the systems, or how many miles those vehicles traveled.
Automakers reported crashes from July of last year through May 15 under an order from the agency, which is examining such crashes broadly for the first time.
"As we gather more data, NHTSA will be able to better identify any emerging risks or trends and learn more about how these technologies are performing in the real world," said Steven Cliff, the agency's administrator.
Tesla's crashes happened while vehicles were using Autopilot, "Full Self-Driving," Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, or other driver-assist systems that have some control over speed and steering. The company has about 830,000 vehicles with the systems on the road.
The next closest of a dozen automakers that reported crashes was Honda, with 90. Honda says it has about 6 million vehicles on U.S. roads with such systems. Subaru was next with 10, and all other automakers reported five or fewer.
In a June 2021 order, NHTSA told more than 100 automakers and automated vehicle tech companies to report severe crashes within one day of learning about them and disclose less-serious crashes by the 15th day of the following month. The agency assesses how the systems perform and whether new regulations may be needed.
NHTSA said that six people were killed in the crashes involving driver-assist systems, and five were seriously hurt. Of the deaths, five occurred in Teslas and Ford reported one. Three of the serious injuries were in Teslas, while Honda and Ford each reported one.
Tesla's crash number may appear elevated somewhat because it uses telematics to monitor its vehicles and get real-time crash reports. NHTSA said that other automakers don't have such capability, so their accounts may come slower, or crashes may not be reported at all. A message was left seeking comment from Tesla.
Tesla's crashes accounted for nearly 70% of the 392 reported by the dozen automakers. Although the Austin, Texas, automaker calls its systems Autopilot and "Full Self-Driving," it says the vehicles cannot drive themselves, and the drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.
Auto safety advocates said driver-assist and self-driving systems have the potential to save lives, but not until NHTSA sets minimum performance standards and requires safety improvements to protect all road users.
"It's clear that U.S. road users are unwitting participants in beta testing of automated driving technology," said Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.
Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said that although NHTSA's data has limitations, it's not isolated evidence that Tesla has ignored regulations, putting the public in danger. There has been "a never ending parade of reports" of Teslas on automated systems rolling through stop signs or braking for no reason, he said. NHTSA also is investigating Teslas that crash into parked emergency vehicles.
"As today's data suggests, this contempt for auto safety laws has real-world consequences," Markey said while urging NHTSA to take enforcement action.
But many Tesla owners love automation. Craig Coombs of Alameda, California, said he uses the systems in stop-and-go traffic and on frequent highway trips. "They really reduce driver fatigue overall," he said.
He gives himself a "moderate" grade for paying attention while using the system but says he never entirely takes his mind off the road. He knows the technology isn't perfect and said he has had to take over driving at times.
Manufacturers were not required to report how many vehicles they have on the road that have the systems, nor did they have to report how far those vehicles traveled or when the systems were in use, NHTSA said. At present, those numbers aren't quantifiable, an agency official said.
However, NHTSA has used the data to seek a recall, open investigations, and provide information for existing inquiries.
"This will help our investigators quickly identify potential defect trends that can emerge," Cliff said. "These data will also help us identify crashes that we want to investigate and provide more information about how people in other vehicles interact with the vehicles."
Honda said it has packaged the systems to sell more of them, which could influence its numbers. "The population of vehicles that theoretically could be involved in a reportable event is much greater than the population of vehicles built by automakers with a less-aggressive deployment strategy," the company said.
Also, reports to NHTSA are based on unverified customer statements about whether automated systems were running at the time of a crash. Honda said that those crashes may not qualify for reporting to NHTSA after more data is gathered.
NHTSA's order also covered companies that are running fully autonomous vehicles, and 25 reported a total of 130 crashes. Google spinoff Waymo led with 62, Transdev Alternative Services with 34 and General Motors-controlled Cruise LLC with 23.
Waymo, the autonomous vehicle unit of Alphabet Inc., said it has more than 700 autonomous vehicles in its fleet. The company is running a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Arizona and testing one in California. The company said all the crashes happened at low speeds, with airbags inflating in only two of them.
In 108 crashes involving fully autonomous vehicles, no injuries were reported, and there was only one serious injury. In most of the crashes, vehicles were struck from the rear.

Phased Pilot Will Bring Oncology-specific Mental Health, 24x7 Nursing Support, and Peer Mentors to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Members in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine
CANTON, Mass., June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Point32Health, the parent organization of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan, and OncoHealth, the leading digital health company dedicated to oncology, today kicked off a collaboration aimed at improving clinical outcomes, enhancing the quality of life, and providing personalized supportive care for members who are facing cancer. In the first stage of the phased pilot, Point32Health's implementation of Iris™ by OncoHealth, a digital telehealth service for people with cancer, will be offered to eligible Harvard Pilgrim Health Care members in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
"Our members who have cancer and their caregivers need specialized support to answer questions that may arise outside of scheduled appointments. Collaborating with OncoHealth will provide our members with access to cancer specialists anywhere, at any time and in a location that is convenient for them," said Michael Sherman, MD, MBA, MS, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Point32Health. "As a leader in providing access to innovative tools to support the whole health of our members, we look forward to studying the impact of this pilot and how it improves our members' quality of life and support their treatment."
Iris™ combines human-centered design, mobile technology, data, empathy, and specially trained US-based oncology experts to deliver personalized, oncology-specific telehealth support to members and their families facing cancer, 24x7. Iris™ is designed for members with cancer and their caregivers, enabling them to connect with a team of licensed oncology experts easily and securely via chat, phone, or video. This includes connecting with oncology doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, physician assistants, and peer mentors, where and when they want, using their existing Apple® iPhone® and Google® Android™ smart devices as well as the web.
"Regardless of whether you live in an area without an oncologist or cancer-specific mental health resources or close to the best cancer centers in the region, what do you do when side effects show up after hours or you just need to talk with someone about your fears and anxiety related to your specific cancer?" said Rick Dean, CEO of OncoHealth. "Through Iris™, eligible Harvard Pilgrim Health Care members will now have access to high-quality cancer mental health care and physical symptom management, all at no cost to the member, from the convenience of wherever they are, at the time they need it."
Directly through Iris™, eligible Harvard Pilgrim Health Care members will have access to previously unattainable, straightforward, evidence-based services during each phase of their treatment journey in a single integrated platform.
- Personalized 24x7 oncology nurse care. Cancer-related symptoms and side effects can lead to costly emergency department visits or even hospitalizations. These situations can happen on the weekend, in the middle of the night, or at other unforeseen times.
- Oncology-specific mental healthcare. Tailored specifically to people with cancer, the Iris™ mental health solution supports members who would like guidance on topics such as fear of recurrence, how to talk with their family or employer about their diagnosis, and effective coping strategies for the emotional side of cancer. Members can access evidence-based, self-directed oncology mental health information or schedule time directly via Iris™ on the member's smart device, to work with a trained cancer-specific mental health expert employed by OncoHealth.
- Network of peer mentors. Members will have access to people who share similar characteristics as members, such as their gender, age, cancer diagnosis, and treatment. Utilizing a peer mentor coach, members can use asynchronous communication or live sessions to better understand the benefits and value of the Iris™ telehealth platform while forming a trusted relationship with someone who has had a similar experience.
- Peace of mind with expert reviews. The FDA has approved over 279 new cancer indications since 2017. As they manage their illness, people are often overwhelmed and confused trying to understand if their prescribed therapy is most appropriate for them, based on their specific disease, cancer stage, and genetic profile. Iris™ provides members with a trusted second opinion on their cancer drug therapy, using evidence-based guidelines and personalized information including audio, video, and written content specific to their cancer or interest.
"While the member's oncologist leads their treatment, our clinical team is available for the moments in between," said Andrew Norden, MD, Chief Medical Officer of OncoHealth. "We know we can have a positive impact on the member experience, improve care, and reduce costs, all while working in close collaboration with the member's primary oncologist and care team."
Point32Health and two other prominent health plans worked with OncoHealth to develop Iris™ and are among the first health plans in the country to make the platform available to its members. Leading up to this benchmark, a cohort of cancer patients in Massachusetts tested and used the Iris™ platform to provide feedback and insight into maximizing its effectiveness and ease of use.
Point32Health is a leading health and wellbeing organization, delivering an ever-better health care experience to everyone in our communities. Building on the quality, nonprofit heritage of our founding organizations, Tufts Health Plan and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, we leverage our experience and expertise to help people find their version of healthier living through a broad range of health plans and tools that make navigating health and wellbeing easier.

Jamie Overton joins twin brother Craig in England squad for third Test
Jamie Overton has been called up for England’s final Test against New Zealand, joining twin brother Craig in a 14-man squad.
The uncapped Surrey seamer, who is the younger sibling by three minutes, has been drafted in for next week’s trip to Headingley following a rousing, series-clinching victory at Trent Bridge.
The decision puts the Overtons back on the same side after they came head to head in the LV= Insurance County Championship last week, a meeting that ended with Craig suffering a concussion after Jamie hit him with a bouncer.
England have reported no injury concerns among the bowling group, but the addition suggests they are keen to assess their options in Leeds, having relied on a three-man pace attack of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and newcomer Matthew Potts in the last two Tests.
No twins have played international cricket for England before, a record that seems likely to stay intact given Craig has been an unused squad member in the first two games against the Kiwis.
But should conditions favour quick bowlers, as they often do in Leeds, England could choose to replace spinner Jack Leach with an additional pace option and pit the Overtons into direct competition for one place. Leach is the only frontline spinner in the squad after Matt Parkinson, who made his debut as a concussion substitute for the left-armer at Lord’s and stayed with the squad for the next match, was released to Lancashire.
Jamie is comfortably the quicker bowler, clocked at 90mph this season, and has greater range as a batter – which could be relevant given the length of the current English tail.
But Somerset stalwart Craig Overton has proved a more reliable, consistent performer in first-class cricket over the years, boasting 402 wickets compared to Jamie’s 206 and picking up eight Test caps and four ODI appearances.
The 28-year-olds were first called up for England duty seven years ago in the one-day squad but ended up returning to Taunton to hone their skills, before parting ways when Jamie moved to the Oval in 2020.
Since joining the Brown Caps he has been an intermittently dangerous performer, showing his all-round potential in the Twenty20 arena, but has strung together an excellent record in Division One of the LV= Insurance County Championship this season.
In five games he has picked up 21 wickets at 21.61 to top the Surrey averages. Most importantly, though, he is said to have bowled with venom. England are lacking a host of their fastest bowlers, with Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Olly Stone and Saqib Mahmood suffering injuries, and could be tempted to take a look at a player who is capable of breaching the 90mph mark.
Elsewhere, Yorkshire’s Harry Brook looks set to continue as the spare batter on his home ground. No changes are expected in the top seven, with opener Zak Crawley retained as expected despite a double failure in Nottingham.
He managed a total of four runs in a high-scoring Test, but, with director of cricket Rob Key, head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes all averse to chopping and changing, he was always likely to get further opportunities to find his feet.

Survey of Data Professionals Revealed Data Quality Issues Making an Impact on Performance
SALT LAKE CITY, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Expectations, the leading open-source platform for data quality, today announced the results of a survey highlighting top pain points and consequences of poor data quality within organizations. Insights from 500 data practitioners (engineers, analysts, and scientists) showed that 77% have data quality issues and 91% said it's impacting their company's performance.
"Poor data quality and pipeline debt create organizational friction between stakeholders, with consequences like degraded confidence," said Abe Gong, CEO and Cofounder of Superconductive, the company that makes Great Expectations. "This survey made it clear that data quality issues are prevalent and they're harming business outcomes."
Data quality issues can make it difficult or impossible to see a "single view" of an end-user or service, lower productivity, obscure reliable performance metrics, and overwhelm development teams and budgets with data migration tasks. Data practitioners blamed poor data quality on lack of documentation (31%), lack of tooling (27%), and teams not understanding each other (22%). They said data scientists spent too much time preparing data for analysts, end-users complained about gaps in their data (such as lost transactions), and production teams were mired with delays.
Data confidence is critical for organizations to make informed business decisions. Fewer than half of respondents expressed high trust in their organization's data, and 13% had low trust in data quality, which stemmed from broken apps or dashboards, decisions based on unreliable or bad data, teams having no shared understanding of metrics, and siloed or conflicting departments. Additional issues impacting data trust included alert fatigue, misalignment on certain metrics, and friction between teams.
"Data quality is critical to facilitate the making of decisions with confidence across the organization, enabling a singular understanding of what that data means and what it's being used for. That's why support for data quality efforts should be found at every level of an organization, from data scientists and engineers to the C-suite and board who have confidence in outcomes for decision-making," Gong said.
89% of respondents said their leadership was supportive of data quality efforts, and 52% believed leadership regards data quality with high trust. When asked about their company's current approach to data quality, 75% said they validated data. Only 11% do not think they have a data quality issue. Data quality efforts included having a data quality plan scoped and budgeted (22%), using a specific data quality tool (19%), checking data manually (14%), and building their own systems (15%).
This survey was conducted in May 2022 by Pollfish, an independent research platform, leveraging responses from 500 information services and data professionals based in the United States (57% men and 43% women aged 18-54). 60% of respondents were employed at companies with 250 or more employees.

Global organizations say they're ready to team up with partners to make it happen
DALLAS, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced a new study* revealing the prospect of improved security and privacy capabilities are the main motivations behind private 5G wireless network projects.
To read a full copy of the report, Security Expectations in Private 5G Networks: A journey with partners, please visit here or join the webinar with Trend Micro and 451 Research on June 23 here.
"Private 5G networks are cloudy: two-thirds of respondents told us their deployments will use the technology in some way," said Eric Hanselman, chief analyst at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global market intelligence. "Yet the cloud's shared responsibility model means these enterprise customers will need to build their own security capabilities. They said they'll need expert security partners to help them on this journey. Organizations have great expectations for 5G security, but the quality of their partnerships will be the real differentiator."
Across smart factories, smart hospitals, and other locations, a growing range of organizations is looking to private 5G networks for coverage, control, low latency, and enhanced security as one of the enterprise networks.
"We see security risk management as one of the key drivers of the business. There is also a strong desire to focus on ensuring organizations achieve situational awareness across IT, OT, and CT communication technology, such as private 5G," said Yohei Ishihara, security evangelist at Trend Micro.
However, such environments raise a different set of security issues than those in traditional IT and OT environments. While the biggest concern (31%) for respondents is the exposure of data carried on the private wireless network, they also highlighted top key attack vectors, including:
- OS software vulnerabilities (37%)
- Configuration errors (34%)
- Networking equipment vulnerability (33%)
- Device vulnerabilities on RAN (31%) and CORE (27%) networks
- Compromise of connected network (27%)
Adding further challenges to security projects is the fact that nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents expect full integration of private wireless network security with existing operational security. More than half (55%) also want to make this work via automated connections.
Given the complexity of such projects, it is not surprising that over half (58%) of respondents said they would carry out risk assessments either jointly with partners or outsourcing the task completely, while 33% said they'd work with a third party.
Industry-specific security experience (24%) is the top criteria for organizations looking for IT partners, and 19% of them say they want to work with existing partners.
*Trend Micro commissioned 451 Research to poll 400 information security decision-makers from 400 US, Germany, UK, and Spain organizations.

ORLANDO, Fla., June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with its investor day, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (the "Company") is raising its full year guidance.
"We continue to see very high owner occupancies at our resorts, enabling us to drive strong tour growth and contract sales during the second quarter of 2022. As a result of this, combined with the continued strength in our VPGs, we are increasing our full year contract sales guidance by $100 million for 2022," said Stephen P. Weisz, chief executive officer.
The Company continues to expect Adjusted development profit margin to remain strong for the full year 2022. However, with owner occupancies exceeding expectations, the Company has allocated more rental inventory for owner usage to increase their vacation choices. Similarly, the Company continues to see higher owner usage at resorts affiliated with Interval International, which has impacted member deposits and exchanges. Given the increased owner usage, the updated guidance reflects the expected impact on rental and exchange revenue and profit this year. The Company expects owner usage to normalize in 2023.
"Notwithstanding the increased owner usage, we expect our strong Adjusted development profit margin on higher contract sales will allow us to deliver full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow above our previous guidance," said Tony Terry, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Full Year 2022 Outlook (in millions)
The Financial Schedules that follow reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below to the following full year 2022 expected GAAP results for the Company.

We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules included herein reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, earnings or loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Certain Items Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Development Profit, and Adjusted Development Profit Margin
We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted free cash flow, Adjusted development profit, and Adjusted development profit margin, that exclude certain items expected for full year 2022, and believe these measures provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.
Adjusted Development Profit (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) and Adjusted Development Profit Margin
We evaluate Adjusted development profit (Adjusted sale of vacation ownership products, net of expenses) and Adjusted development profit margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted development profit margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted development profit by revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products. Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin adjust Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, include corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items, as necessary. We evaluate Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin and believe they provide useful information to investors because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development profit and Development profit margin.
Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA in the preceding pages, and excludes share-based compensation expense to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because this measure excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison by us, analysts, investors, and others, of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other vacation companies.
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We evaluate Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow as liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our term loan securitizations, which cash can be used for, among other purposes, strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Adjusted free cash flow, which reflects additional adjustments to Free cash flow for the impact of transaction and integration charges, impact of borrowings available from the securitization of eligible vacation ownership notes receivable, and changes in restricted cash, allows for period-over-period comparisons of the cash generated by our business before the impact of these items. Analysis of Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow also facilitates management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.

MIAMI, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMedical Computational Review is seeking data analysts to assist in reviewing dietary supplement data models and their effects on gut microbiomes, seeking to understand these natural compounds relationship in relation weight loss and body compositional data to provide a functional analysis of ingredients commonly found in fat burner dietary supplements.
These supplements have become common increasing in popularity in recent years. With the exception of a relatively small amount of ingredients, such as fenugreek or glucomannan, there have been relatively few large-scale statistical analyses, and the clinical trials that have shown successful results the impacts on the body are often not properly understood.
BCR has partnered with supplement industry experts ookles.com to select the primary ingredients anticipated to be in the most popular fat burners in the next few years, so as to provide the public and clinicians with access to accurate data.
The team will be cross referencing 100s of 1000s of data points in diet, weight loss performance, age, lifestyle, blood glucose levels, hormone levels to provide complex correlation and what this means for gut microbiomes, analysis broken down by dosage of ingredients to properly understand the interactions that these plant compounds and vitamins have in the body with the goal of creating complete data mapping of the performance.
BCR and ookles.com seek to publish the unfiltered data and learnings report in Q2 2023.
Dr Ian Smith leading the analysis said "These weight loss or fat burner supplements, have an unfortunately mixed reputation. The potential of certain naturally occurring compounds. Research has found that the gut microbiome and the bacteria it consists of effects the body's ability to absorb calories and thus can influence your ability to lose weight. As such it stands to reason that some compounds that can impact bacterial makeup of the gut can aid weight loss or as colloquially termed, burn fat." He continued "Unfortunately, due to the shoddy claims of the fitness industry a lot of such research has been shied away from. We believe that properly studying the gut microbiomes impact on weight loss against impactful compounds could provide huge benefits for clinicians and the general public in combatting the obesity crisis."
You can apply for the role by contacting Dr Ian Smith at weightloss@bcr.org or visiting the study page https://bcr.org/Gut-Microbiome-Study.html

The latest petrol and diesel prices from the Consumer Council show that both unleaded petrol and diesel prices are continuing to rise to record levels in Northern Ireland.
The average price for unleaded petrol in Northern Ireland is currently 180.1p/litre, a rise of 7.5 p/litre from last week. Meanwhile, the average diesel price in Northern Ireland was recorded at 183.8 p/litre this week, a 4.7 p/litre increase from last week.
Belfast has recorded the highest average prices for both petrol and diesel, with the cheapest average prices for petrol being recorded in Limavady and Derry/Londonderry, and the cheapest diesel prices being recorded in Limavady, according to the Consumer Council’s Fuel Price Checker tool.
Richard Williams, Head of Transport Policy at The Consumer Council, said “Not only are prices at a record high but we are also seeing big differences between the lowest and highest prices available.
“With petrol and diesel prices increasing in Northern Ireland, demand for our Fuel Price Checker has increased. In 2022, the monthly average hits to the tool have increased 526% compared to 2021. As the tool has increased transparency for Northern Ireland consumers in respect of fuel prices and allowed them shop around, this may have contributed to keeping fuel prices here lower than the UK average. However, there are other factors contributing to fuel prices such as supplier costs, and the business models of the retailers.” | https://www.antrimguardian.co.uk/news/2022/06/10/news/fuel-prices-continue-to-rise-in-ni-25741/ | 2022-06-16T13:12:59Z | https://www.antrimguardian.co.uk/news/2022/06/10/news/fuel-prices-continue-to-rise-in-ni-25741/ | true | 14 |

A Derby car firm has celebrated extraordinary growth as it sold over £1 billion last year. Sales at Motorpoint his £1.32 billion as the company grew by 80%.
The retailer, which sells "nearly new" cars, has 17 stores across the United Kingdom and says the rising price of cars plus a bigger share of the market helped fuel growth. It sold almost 98,000 cars last year, up from 67,500 a year earlier, with almost half of all sales now done online.
The average time a used car takes to sell dropped from 67 to 54 days, and gross profit per car was up to £1,446. The business has, however, warned it was likely rising inflation and the worldwide vehicle supply chain challenges would cause a drop in sales.

In results for the year to March 31 it said: “The precise extent to which these factors will impact consumer behaviour and our markets is increasingly difficult to predict.” Motorpoint said pre-tax profits were up 121% last year to £21.5 million, even after fresh investment in technology, people and marketing.
The business said it had grown its share of the second hand car market – for vehicles less than four years old – from 2.4% to 3.1% over the year. It had also built its share of the market within a half hour drive of each branch to 7.7%.
It plans to grow sales to £2 billion through: growing online revenues to more than £1 billion; opening 12 new sales and collection branches; building its Auction4Cars.com platform; investing more in online operations.
Chief executive Mark Carpenter said: "Motorpoint is a unique business with world class capabilities and knowledge in the used car ecosystem. We have always successfully adapted our business to meet every challenge and remain profitable since our inception 24 years ago.
“I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made on our medium term strategic objectives and am convinced Motorpoint will be a winner in these rapidly evolving markets. We are building a market leader with a disciplined operating culture, and we are confident in the plan we laid out a year ago.
“Despite the ongoing uncertainty, we will continue to invest in our business with the consumer front of mind, in order to realise our long term ambition of increased market share through price leadership, while remaining profitable. Our team continue to inspire me with their passion for our business and our customers and I'd like to thank them for building such an impressive business.
“We have achieved significant growth and market share gains in the year; our price leadership, strong customer service and focus on maintaining a highly engaged team will continue to substantially grow the business in the years ahead."
The business opened three new branches last year. This saw new locations in Manchester, Maidstone and Portsmouth, with locations secured for new branches. | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/derby-car-firm-hits-billion-7215365 | 2022-06-16T13:13:41Z | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/derby-car-firm-hits-billion-7215365 | true | 1 |
Kolkata, Jun 16 (PTI) West Bengal has the highest average loan outstanding per borrower at Rs 53,708, followed by Kerala at Rs 46,074 among the top ten states of the country, according to a report released by a microfinance industry body on Thursday.

The number of loans disbursed also saw an increase during the financial year 2021-22, indicting a continued growth of the microfinance portfolio, it added.
Alok Misra CEO and director of MFIN said that the MFI industry had shown good progress during the last quarter of 2021-22 as it built on the momentum created in the previous corresponding quarter.
He said the portfolio quality has improved significantly as compared to the end of the April-June quarter of the previous financial year when the second wave of COVID-19 had caused widespread stress across all parts of the country.
The industry body, however, said some deviations from the past trends had been observed during the last fiscal.
Firstly, the proportion of NBFC-MFI portfolio increased by 4.1 per cent to 35.2 per cent as on March 31,2022, though banks continue to be the main contributors.
According to the report, 12 banks hold the largest share of portfolio in microcredit with a total loan outstanding of Rs 1.14 lakh crore and NBFC-MFIs are the second highest provider of such credit with a loan outstanding amount of more than Rs one lakh crore.
Small finance banks (SFBs) have a total loan outstanding of Rs 48,314 crore with a total share of 16.9 per cent, while NBFCs with 6.9 per cent and other MFIs at one per cent, the report added.
VFS Capital managing director and CEO Kuldip Maity said the economic activities have returned to normalcy and there is a spurt in demand for MFI loans.
"Opportunity exists in the present era after two years of COVID and there is a scope to reach underbanked areas," he added .PTI DC

I am fascinated by the Hollywood Whodunit. One in particular is the story of The Black Dahlia.
Her real name was Elizabeth Short, and her friends called her Betty. She came to Hollywood to be a star. She was called the Black Dahlia because of her beautiful mane of black hair, her milky white skin, and her penchant for wearing black. And like so many who arrived before her with the very same dream, and who never got to see their names in lights, she turned to prostitution. She was murdered and her case has never been solved. Sure, there were suspects, but no one was ever charged; and sadly, there was not enough evidence to bring her killer to justice.
Several years ago, I entered a mystery writing contest. The story we were asked to complete was by none other than James Ellroy. Ironically, he too had written a novel called “The Black Dahlia.”
The contest began by introducing a set of characters, with this lead-in paragraph: A rotund dead detective named Chester and a beautiful movie starlet: Lana Lovely. Next is Willy, a Hollywood gossip columnist who works for “Shh-Shh Magazine.” Willy was on his way to see Chester to get a very big story, but someone killed Chester before Willy got there.
The story begins with Willy entering the room and seeing Chester lying there dead, a single gunshot wound to the head. Lana Lovely is standing in the corner. If you’re wondering where the police are, sheesh, this is Hollywood, mate! The police were always the last ones called. Recall the circus at the home of William Desmond Taylor the night he was murdered? The old way of solving a Hollywood whodunit when someone famous died at the hands of another was to first put a call in to the movie moguls who had the star under contract. Then to the studio lawyers, then the agents, then the publicists… you get the idea. OK, back to the story and what I wrote:
Willy enters the apartment and he’s surprised to see Lana Lovely, the actress with a set of gams clear up to her neck. Willy is mesmerized by her beauty, her golden hair, and ruby-red lips. He was under her spell, when suddenly he snaps out of it, realizing he should check Chester’s vital signs.”
She replied, “Don’t bother, he’s dead,” and with a gloved hand she lit a cigarette, inhaled deeply, slowly letting the smoke out. “Loose lips sink ships, and his fat trap deserved to be silenced. His slime-spewing sardonic venom has been reduced to mere spittle.”
“Wow, I can’t believe this!” said Willy.
“I have an idea,” she replied. “Why don’t you get another one of your henchmen to dig the up the dirt for this Hollywood Whodunit? Everyone knows Chester was on your payroll or is that “Shh, Shh?” A smile appeared on her face.
“Why did you want him dead?” Willy asked her. She stared off into the distance. Finally, he said, “OK, off the record,” his fingers crossed behind his back.
“Dig this Willy-babe. Once upon a time before my feet and hands were sealed in concrete at Graumans, there were two sisters, one blonde, one brunette, who believed in all that glitters.”
He sat down. Lana continued, “My sister and I came to Hollywood after my 18th birthday. No sooner did we get off the bus when a guy named Eddie approached us and said he’d get me a part in a movie. He seemed nice, almost fatherly. He put us up at the Roosevelt Hotel. Never once making a pass, I don’t think he fancied women. He got me the right clothes and sent me on casting calls. We went to all the nice places like the Derby and the Troc. He told me I could pay him back when I became famous.
“About a month later my sister and I had been out shopping and when we got back to the hotel Chester was in the room and Eddie was dead. I was stunned. Chester asked me how I was going to pay the hotel bill? I told him that Eddie had been paying for everything. Chester said he would pay and that I could work it off. He told me to meet him that night at a house in Los Feliz. My sister and I were scared, so we packed and left.
“I arrived that evening at a house filled with men, the kind that old money breeds. None of this nouveau stuff. Wealth handed down generation after generation as if to say your mere birth was cause enough for power and affluence. Chester grabbed me from behind. His breath stank of stale liquor. He said my job was to dance, but I knew that dancing wouldn’t be my only job. After one drink, I felt lightheaded, and the last thing I remember were camera bulbs flashing and Chester’s bloated gin-blossomed face snickering. The next morning, I ran out and never went back. Shortly thereafter I became a contract player for MGM.
“One day Chester showed up in my dressing room and threatened to get my little sister like he had gotten me unless I gave him money. I came here for the one thing that linked me to him. You see, Willy, he had pictures of that dreadful night, and he was going to give them to you. Your big wallop of a story, to show the world what it really takes to get a star on the Walk of Fame. Here are the pictures, take them,” she said.
“Wait!” he yelled, “What about your sister?”
She turned around slowly and started taking off a blonde wig revealing hair as dark as night that fell to her waist. Willy’s mouth dropped as she then took her gloved hand and pulled out a 45-caliber revolver and tossed it to the ground. “My sister’s fine,” she said. And she walked away. Willy was shocked at what just happened, and all he could do was stare. He never found out why she trusted him that night to keep her secret. He was, after all, known as Get-The-Shh-Shh-Story, but something cooled his jets that night. Shortly thereafter, Lana Lovely left the glamour of Hollywood and started a home for runaways.
Willy? Well, he also quit his job at “Shh-Shh” and became a mystery writer.
And on another note, last month marked the 50th anniversary of my grandfather John Roeburt’s passing. I pay homage to him with my version of a mystery story. Thank you, Grandpa, for bestowing the precious gift of the ability to write. I will continue to make you proud.

The gear, gadgets and accessories below are sure to wow any dad working in construction.
DryGuy DX Forced Air Boot Dryer and Garment Dryer
Sticking your feet into a pair of boots that are still damp from the day before is no way to start your workday.

The dryer also features a no-heat option, two removable extension tubes for taller boots and a 3-hour timer.
The DryGuy Forced Air Boot Dryer is currently available for $59 on Amazon.
Magid T-Rex TRXDXG49 Gloves
While there are plenty of glove options on the market, Magid's new coreless T-Rex TRXDXG49 gloves will protect Dad's hands from impact and cut injuries while providing grip in heavy liquids and oils.
The outer layer of the glove absorbs oil to improve grip, while an inner layer deflects oil to keep hands dry.
The TRXDXG49’s M-Force Defense System provides back-of-hand protection to deflect and absorb impacts, meeting level 2 impact protection standards (ANSI/ISEA 138-2019). Impact protection extends from the back of the wearer’s hands to the fingertips, including between the thumb and index fingers.
The glove shell is ANSI rated level A4 for cut, level 5 for abrasion and level 3 for puncture resistance (ANSI/ISEA 105-2016).
Pick up a pair at magidglove.com for $19.05.

Offering a fantastic children’s playroom, Mantis EPIC Hotel and Suites is a location that the whole family will enjoy!

And Do Good: In the 1980s, Adrian Gardiner, the founder of Mantis (Man And Nature Together Is Sustainable) had a vision to restore and rewild degraded farmland in the Eastern Cape. There are now over 20 Mantis properties across the globe. Community and conservation are at the heart of the Mantis brand and supporting both is a theme that runs through all the Mantis properties. Here are a couple of wonderful examples of how Mantis properties support their local communities and make a real difference to people’s lives:
At Mantis Epic Hotel and Suites, Rwanda, the headteacher of Mirama Primary School, a government assisted school for 1250 pupils from the ages of 6-15 years old told the General Manager, Ian Williams that about half her pupils were going hungry as a result of their parents losing their jobs during lockdown. Ian has committed to providing lunch for 600 pupils at the local school on the last Wednesday of the month throughout the year. Mantis Epic Hotels and Suites are looking for sponsors to help them provide meals during the other three weeks in the month so they can do it on a weekly basis.
At Mantis Founders Lodge, South Africa, Thobela Peni, from Paterson in South Africa worked as housekeeper at Founders Lodge until the hotel had to close its doors due to the pandemic. Thobela started planting vegetables in her backyard to feed her family. Her neighbours soon took an interest in her produce and wanted to buy from her. This led to her being able to extend her plot and become a regular supplier for the community. Thobela’s enterprise caught the attention of the conservation-focused hotel group Mantis and CCFA and they engaged Thobela to set up and oversee a fruit and vegetable garden at Mantis Founders Lodge. The collaboration means that the majority of fruit and vegetables guests eat at the lodge will come directly from the site cultivated by Thobela. Future plans include a foraging experience led by Thobela, who will let guests in on her gardening secrets. Thobela also donates vegetables to two local creches.

A group of climate protesters have struck again in Bristol after deflating the tyres of 40 vehicles in one area of the city overnight.
The Tyre Extinguishers "disarmed" - as they put it - 40 SUVs in Clifton on Wednesday night (June 15) to highlight their aim to ban the vehicle in cities. This protest means the leaderless group has now passed the threshold of 5,000 SUVs targeted across the UK and even further afield as the movement spreads across Europe.
Marion Walker, Tyre Extinguishers spokesperson, said "5,000 SUVs is just the beginning. Once you start noticing the way these huge death machines dominate our cities, you can't unsee it. We expect more and more people to take action until it's impossible to own an SUV in the world's urban areas."
Who are they? The activists who deflat tyres on SUVs to 'protect the enivronment'
SUVs feature elements of standard cars but are generally less fuel-efficient than other cars. The environmental group have more than doubled the number of SUVs targeted in just two months as London, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool and Manchester are among some of the cities targeted - they targeted Clifton only last month deflating tyres on 50 SUVs.
'Copycat' groups such as The Deflationists (Glasgow) the DunDeeFlators (Dundee) and the ‘Reifenbande Wien’ (Tyre Gang Vienna) have sprung up too. The Tyre Extinguishes have said they are happy for anyone to use their tactics and provide information on how to disarm SUVs on their website.
The vehicle type continues to be popular across the UK despite its harmful effects on the environment, including air quality. Avon and Somerset Police's neighbourhood team in Stoke Bishop issued a statement last month stating that vehicles are being targeted in "more affluent areas".
It stated: "We have been made aware of a group of activists who call themselves the Tyre Extinguishers. This group target SUV & 4X4 type vehicles and will deflate the tyres on these, causing a nuisance to the owner to reflate the tyre.
"At present, they are mainly operating in the Clifton, Redland, Cotham and Stoke Bishop area as these are affluent areas. Advice from the police at the moment is to report any incidents to us, even if no crime has been committed, it is good for us to log the incidents so we can see patterns in behaviour.
"You can purchase anti-theft dust caps which will ensure this group cannot deflate your tyre in the future. If you have a driveway, park your vehicle there instead of on the road."
The Tyre Extinguishers want to see bans on SUVs in urban areas, pollution levies to tax SUVs out of existence, and massive investment in free, comprehensive public transport. The group promises its action will continue until politicians make their demands a reality.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as the U.S. job market remains strong in the face of rising inflation and interest rates.
Applications for jobless aid fell by 3,000 to 229,000 for the week ending June 11, down from the previous week's 232,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications generally represent the number of layoffs.
The four-week average for claims, which evens out some of the week-to-week volatility, rose by 2,750 from the previous week, to 218,500.
The total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits for the week ending June 4 was 1,312,000. That figure has hovered near 50-year lows for months.
While Americans have enjoyed historically strong job security and higher wages recently, much of that has been offset by four-decade high inflation.
The Labor Department reported last week that consumer prices surged 8.6% last month — even more than in April — from a year earlier. The Federal Reserve responded by raising its main borrowing rate by three-quarters of a point on Wednesday, its main tool for fighting rising prices. Wednesday's increase is on top of a half-point increase in early May.
Earlier this month, the government reported that U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure. Though the job growth in May was healthy, it was the lowest monthly gain in a year and there have been signs that more layoffs could be on the horizon.
Jobless claims application this week and last week, though still relatively low, were the highest since the first weeks of the year.
Online automotive retailer Carvana said last month that it’s letting go about 2,500 workers, roughly 12% of its workforce. Online real estate broker Redfin, under pressure from a housing market that's cooled due to higher interest rates, said Tuesday that it was laying off 8% of its workers. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/business/article/Fewer-Americans-apply-for-jobless-aid-last-week-17245665.php | 2022-06-16T13:35:12Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/business/article/Fewer-Americans-apply-for-jobless-aid-last-week-17245665.php | true | 110 |
Arizona Low-Income and Disabled/Displaced Corporate Tax Credits provide tuition scholarships to build the workforce for the future
PHOENIX, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Catholic Education Arizona, a school tuition organization (STO) that raises scholarship funds for students through the Arizona Individual and Corporate tax credits, is reminding business owners about the upcoming deadline to redirect their corporate tax liability.
"Each year hundreds of Arizona companies redirect their state tax liabilities to help change lives," said Nancy Padberg, CEO of Catholic Education Arizona. "When we let business owners know they can redirect their Arizona Corporate Tax dollars to underserved children, for education, they want to participate. The first deadline is June 30, 2022 to have commitment forms in our office."
The organization is currently working on securing Arizona Low Income and Disabled/Displaced Corporate Tax Credit Commitments from business leaders who want to make a difference in children's lives, serve society, and transform culture.
More than 130 corporate partners including Grand Canyon University, APS, Shea Homes, Lumen Technologies, Earnhardt Automotive Centers, Cigna, Geddes and Company, Arizona Bank & Trust and many other small and medium businesses are participating and making a difference in the lives of Arizona's children.
Eric Olsen, CEO of FASTURTLE, a local digital marketing agency is among the many midsized businesses who has redirected their corporate tax dollars each year to Catholic Education Arizona. "We've been proudly supporting this program for years," said Olsen. "We believe in the difference that we are making through this contribution. The team at Catholic Education Arizona makes it so easy for business owners to redirect their state tax liability. They're great advocates for the business community and so easy to work with."
Catholic Schools in Arizona have:
- 99.4% Graduation Rate
- 97% Matriculate to higher education, trade school or military service
- 1000's of hours of community service conducted annually
The deadline for returning the commitment form is June 30, 2022. There is no maximum contribution amount, and in FY23 there is $142.1 million available to claim for the Arizona Low Income Corporate Tax Credit, and $6 Million for the Arizona Disabled/Displaced Corporate Tax Credit (exceptional learners and foster children). For more information about corporate tax credits, please visit online at: https://catholiceducationarizona.org/corporate/
Catholic Education Arizona is a leading School Tuition Organization (STO) in Arizona. Arizona is one of 27 states that offer taxpayers the opportunity to help change lives through Arizona Tax Credits. Arizona legislation allows individuals and corporations to direct their tax dollars as tuition scholarships to schools and families with demonstrated need. Catholic Education Arizona is one of the largest providers of scholarships to underserved families attending private schools. Since 1998, more than $288 million has been raised and 143,000 scholarships have been awarded. www.ceaz.org

Which alcohol prep pads are best?
Alcohol prep pads have many uses, from cleaning wounds to sanitizing hands and surfaces to preparing the skin for injections. They’re a beneficial and efficient product for anyone to keep in their home or first aid kit. Though they may all seem similar, there’s a hierarchy of alcohol prep pads and no two are created equal.
Affordable and high-quality Care Touch Alcohol Prep Pads come in a 300 pack of two-ply pads saturated with isopropyl alcohol for quick, easy sanitizing.
What to know before you buy alcohol prep pads
Uses
Alcohol prep pads are a fairly standard item, but they are multi-use. Many buy them for one reason, like cleaning injection sites or wounds and using them for many other purposes. You can even use them for non-medical purposes, like cleaning electronics parts. They’re also a convenient on-the-go option for sanitizing hands and small surfaces since they’re individually packed and you can quickly throw them in a bag.
Manufacturing
The primary difference between different varieties of alcohol prep pad will be where and how they’re manufactured. Since they must be sanitary to avoid infection, look for trusted brands and manufacturers, as well as trusted sellers. If American manufacturing is a priority for you, there are plenty of brands that manufacture in the U.S. Pay attention to these things to make sure you’re getting the best value for your money.
Individual packaging
Most alcohol prep pads come individually packaged, but not all. Be sure to look out for this, as for a perfectly sanitized wipe, you will want an individually wrapped option. Some may worry about the waste created by individually packaged pads, but it’s better than risking infection on an open wound or injection site.
What to look for in quality alcohol prep pads
Materials
Most alcohol prep pads are made of similar materials, paper or cloth. Some advertise as being nonwoven, which can help them hold moisture longer. If you have allergies, it’s essential to pay attention to manufacturing processes. For example, look for pads labeled as latex-free. But most pads are made of similar materials, and the difference comes down to size and shape.
Size
Most alcohol prep pads are very small so that they’re easy to use and quickly disposable. But some prefer slightly larger pads that may remain saturated for long as the alcohol doesn’t evaporate as quickly. Many alcohol prep pads are two-ply, so they can be either left folded for a thicker pad or take into account the pad’s size and consider what you’ll be using it for when purchasing.
Thickness
Alcohol prep pads run the gamut from being made of thin paper to thicker quilted materials. Some prefer thicker pads, as they often dry out less quickly, but others prefer the generally thinner pads that unfold to a larger size. Which will suit your needs depends on your preferences and how you expect to use it.
How much you can expect to spend on alcohol prep pads
Alcohol prep pads generally have a fairly standard cost and are cheap. Most alcohol prep pads will cost between 2-3 cents per pad, depending on where and how they’re manufactured.
Alcohol prep pad FAQ
How do I use an alcohol prep pad?
A. Alcohol prep pads are fairly straightforward to use, though you must use them properly for them to sanitize an area. To use them to sanitize skin for injections or wound care, unwrap carefully with clean hands and then swab over the site. The alcohol should dry immediately, leaving the skin clean. Dispose of the pad when done.
Can I use alcohol prep pads as a replacement for sanitizing wipes?
A. You can, since they are sanitizing alcohol wipes. But since alcohol prep pads aren’t intended to be used this way, they’re very small. If not for their intended use, they’re best used for small surfaces like electronics, personal items and hands. They’re also pure alcohol, so they dry out quite quickly. If large sanitizing wipes are unavailable, you’re better off using a spray or making your own for sanitizing larger surfaces.

WOONSOCKET – The Museum of Work & Culture announces its “Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964,” a bilingual poster exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution with images and interviews by documentary photographer Leonard Nadel. The exhibit opened June 10, and will remain in the changing gallery through Sept. 24.
Facing labor shortages on the home front during World War II, the United States initiated a series of agreements with Mexico to recruit guest workers for American farms and railroads. The Emergency Farm Labor Program, more familiarly known as the Bracero Program, enabled approximately 2 million Mexicans to enter the United States.
While the work was often grueling, the program offered participants economic opportunity. The contributions made by these laborers have had a significant impact on the political, economic and social climate of both the United States and Mexico. Also on display at the Museum will be panels that present stories of how the Bracero Program made its way to Rhode Island.
Complimenting the Smithsonian poster exhibit, the museum, in partnership with Rhode Island Latino Arts, will present “This Kind of Love, Our Love: Latino Stories in the Blackstone Valley, 1960s-Today.” “This Kind of Love” continues the themes of “Bittersweet Harvest” locally, presenting the history of Latino settlement and community-building over the past half-century in Rhode Island’s Blackstone Valley region, from Central Falls to Woonsocket. Historical artifacts, an art installation, and collected oral histories will complement the informational posters, making these stories come alive.
“Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964” was organized by the National Museum of American History in partnership with the SITES, and received federal support from the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center.
Funding was provided in part by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, through the Rhode Island Culture, Humanities, and Arts Recovery Grant program. This program was made possible thanks to the National Endowment for the Humanities, via funds from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. | https://www.valleybreeze.com/lifestyle/entertainment/museum-of-work-culture-opens-new-exhibitions-featuring-r-i-s-latino-stories/article_9ccf35c6-e8c5-11ec-b007-c38dbb913d52.html | 2022-06-16T13:40:29Z | https://www.valleybreeze.com/lifestyle/entertainment/museum-of-work-culture-opens-new-exhibitions-featuring-r-i-s-latino-stories/article_9ccf35c6-e8c5-11ec-b007-c38dbb913d52.html | false | 1 |
Fatalities double for Voloodymyr Zelensky's 'warriors'
PRESIDENT Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine is suffering "painful losses" in the Donbas.
It is losing 200 troops a day - double the death toll of a month ago.
The Ukraine leader again begged theWest for more arms.
Defence Secretary BenWallace said that he expected a delivery of multiple rocket launch systems to be finished "imminently", with the UK still looking at supplying Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
President Zelensky said the battle for the eastern region was "key to determining who will dominate in the coming weeks".
Calling his underdog troops "warriors", he said of the fierce fighting in Severodonetsk: "We have to hold on, this is our state".
Despite reports that the city is about to fall, Kyiv said its army had fought off attacks in Severodonetsk and in nearby Toshkivka.
There are believed to be 12,000 people in the ruins of Severodonetsk, which had a pre-war population of 100,000. ? Boris Johnson said he hopes there is progress in the coming days in relation to Russia's "unforgivable blockade" of Ukrainian grain.
The PM spoke last night with President Zelensky about how Ukraine could depend on the UK's "full and steadfast support until its eventual victory". | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1626499/zelensky-warriors-ukraine-russia-Donbas | 2022-06-16T13:42:02Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1626499/zelensky-warriors-ukraine-russia-Donbas | false | 1 |
World's largest chicken nugget made in Massachusetts
CAMBRIDGE - History was made in Massachusetts recently when two TikTok stars created the world's largest chicken nugget.
Nick DiGiovanni and Lynn Davis, who previously concocted the biggest cake pop on the planet, teamed up again to make the 46-pound nugget in Cambridge.
It took 40 slices of slices of white bread, 40 pounds of ground chicken and 40 eggs. They baked it for more than 12 hours.
Guinness World Records confirmed the feat on May 25. They noted the creation was about 115 times larger than the average chicken nugget.

Cirkul, a company famous for its water bottles fitted with flavoured cartridges, have announced Series-C funding of $70 billion. Fundraise led by SC Holdings, a private equity firm, helped Cirkul get to the milestone of a $1 billion valuation. The raised capital will enable Cirkul to increase its business capabilities across the United States.
Cirkul and its water bottles got famous a year ago when a few people did a TikTok video featuring the product. The video became an instant hit and got viewed by almost 1 billion people.
Everything was unexpected for Garrett Waggonner, CEO, and Founder of Cirkul, as what started as a small business idea became an internet sensation overnight.
According to communication between Walmart and shareholders, almost 1.5 million units of Cirkul bottles have been sold since April 2021, making it a top-performing product in the home appliances section.
Beginning of Cirkul
Garrot Waggoner, used to play football for Dartmouth College during his college time. After and before matches. He used to try f=drinking water, mixed with flavour powders. He used to end up making it a mess in the locker room. That is when Garret got the idea of developing a water bottle with flavour cartridges, thus avoiding messy situations.
Garry Waggoner found Cirkul with college mate Andy Gay in 2018.
According to Garry Waggonner, the TikTok video was surprising. The company had no plans to do any sort of paid promotion offline or online.
What is exactly Cirkul Water Bottles?
It is plastic water bottles on which cartridges of various flavours can be fixed. When we fix this cartridge and drink water from the bottle, water will become sweet and tasty.
There is a dial-like system to increase or decrease the density of flavour, which can be adjusted accordingly. As of now, the company is offering more than 50 flavours, which are to be expanded to 100 in the coming months.
Having sustainable features such as bottles which use less plastic, and 96% fewer carbon emissions from shipping, makes Cirkul Water Bottles an obvious choice for environment-conscious individuals.
Future Plans of Cirkul
During an interview with Bloomberg, Garry Waggonner said that even though they want to grow fast, they would like to grow profitably. As said by the CEO, Cirkul has been profitable in the last two years while being a startup.
About the pandemic and supply chain collapse, Waggoner believes that Cirkul was fortunate enough to have significant control over its supply chain. Being heavily integrated vertically also enabled them to rest and overcome inflationary pressures. | https://techstory.in/tik-tok-famous-cirkul-water-bottle-raise-70-billion-in-series-c-funding/ | 2022-06-16T13:44:00Z | https://techstory.in/tik-tok-famous-cirkul-water-bottle-raise-70-billion-in-series-c-funding/ | false | 1 |

BOSTON, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Circle Internet Financial, a global internet finance firm and issuer of USD Coin (USDC), today announced that it is preparing to issue a fully-reserved, euro-pegged stablecoin from the United States called Euro Coin (EUROC). Available June 30, Euro Coin is a regulated, euro-backed stablecoin issued under the same full-reserve model and built on the same pillars of trust, transparency, and security that have made USDC one of the world's most trusted digital currencies.
The launch of Euro Coin aims to further Circle's successful work in driving the frictionless exchange of financial value and bridging crypto-native and traditional financial services. Businesses can use EUROC tokens to easily move euro liquidity on-chain, accept and make euro payments globally that can settle in minutes, and access crypto capital markets for trading, borrowing, lending and more. Euro Coin is fully-backed by euro-denominated reserves held conservatively in the custody of leading financial institutions within the U.S. regulatory perimeter, beginning with Silvergate Bank.
"Circle has set industry-leading standards for moving financial value across the internet with USDC," said Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle. "There is clear market demand for a digital currency denominated in euros, the world's second most traded currency after the U.S. dollar. With USDC and Euro Coin, Circle is helping to unlock a new era of fast, inexpensive, secure and interoperable value exchange worldwide."
Euro Coin is Circle's second digital currency built to the same regulatory standards and principles of transparency, accountability and trust as USDC, a leading dollar digital currency with over $54 billion in circulation as of June 15, 2022. Together, Euro Coin and USDC aim to bring faster, inexpensive transactions to global commerce and unlock new opportunities for multi-currency digital finance and on-chain foreign exchange (FX), where daily volume in traditional markets can top $6.6 trillion globally.
Euro Coin will initially launch on the Ethereum blockchain starting on June 30, with support for additional blockchains expected later this year. As an Ethereum ERC-20 standard token, Euro Coin will work broadly with ERC-20 compatible wallets, protocols and other blockchain services.
A number of ecosystem leaders will support Euro Coin at launch, including Anchorage Digital, Binance.US, Bitstamp, Compound, Curve, CYBAVO, DFX, Fireblocks, FTX, Huobi Global, Ledger, MetaMask Institutional, and Uniswap Protocol.
Euro Coin will be available to institutional customers via a free Circle Account starting June 30, 2022. Developers can begin integrating with the Euro Coin smart contract today, ahead of the official launch.

WICHITA, Kan. — A Missouri man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for the shooting death of his friend in Wichita three years ago.
Brandon Craig, 25, of Independence, Missouri, was sentenced Wednesday in Sedgwick County District Court to 74 months in prison, NBC affiliate television station KSN reported. Craig pleaded guilty in April to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated battery in the shooting death of Justin Lane, 21, of Grain Valley, Missouri.
Police called to a Wichita home the night of April 12, 2019, found Lane inside, dead with a single gunshot wound to the head. Police described Lane and Craig as best friends who were visiting another friend at the Wichita home when they began fighting before Lane was shot.
Police said Craig changed his story about what happened several times, first telling investigators the never had a gun, then saying Lane was taking the gun from his hand when it went off, then later saying simply that he had accidentally shot Lane.

Alzheimer’s advocates move one step closer to research diversity
A Hawaii native is sharing her mother’s story of living with Alzheimer’s to lawmakers on Capitol Hill to push for the ENACT Act.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - “Alzheimer’s disease affects everybody, not just white people.” Alzheimer’s advocate, Amy Truong, said. She knows that firsthand. Her mother, an Asian American, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s 14 years ago.
Truong started volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association, and noticed she was one of just a few non-white advocates. She explained that diversity is also lacking in Alzheimer’s studies.
“For Native Hawaiians, for Asian Americans, and for Native Americans, there’s actually not enough data at all to even come to a conclusion,” Truong said.
Truong is taking her concerns to Washington: she’s meeting with lawmakers from her state of Hawaii about the ENACT Act. If passed, the bill would require increased participation of underrepresented populations in research and clinical trials for Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M) co-sponsored the legislation, which has broad bipartisan support.
“Alzheimer’s doesn’t care how you’ve registered to vote,” Lujan said. “This is an issue affecting all of America.”
Dr. Christina Prather from George Washington University’s Institute for Brain Health and Dementia believes expanding these studies can help medical professionals improve diagnoses for minority patients.
“When we are better able to engage with people who are traditionally underrepresented, it means earlier connection to care and services,” said Dr. Prather.
Sen. Lujan said he does not know yet when the bill might see a vote, but hopes to attach it to the next package of health legislation moving through Congress.

Scots face a "perfect storm" if national rail strikes go ahead next week, business leaders have warned.
ScotRail and cross-border train operators will cut 90 per cent of services on three separate days as thousands of railway workers plan to walk out in a dispute over staffing.
There will be no trains north or south of the central belt on June 21, 23 and 25 unless a deal can be reached between the RMT union and Network Rail.
Even on the few routes kept open there will be no services before 7.30am and none after 6.30pm.
Business leaders have today warned the economic impact could be devastating at a time of year many Scots are heading off on holidays.
Passengers heading to the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston or the Barry Manilow concert at the Hyrdo in Glasgow could be impacted by the strike.
But the north and south of the country face the worst travel chaos with no services running at all.
Colin Wilkinson, managing director of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, warned many people would simply not bother going out if the strikes go ahead.
“Businesses are slowly recovering after the pandemic and just when most are looking forward to a good summer along comes a national rail strike which will deter people from travelling," he said.
"If there are no trains people won’t bother going out at all and who can blame them.
"Nobody wants to be worrying about how they will get home after meeting friends in the pub or enjoying dinner.
"There’s also the safety aspect to consider as every business and venue wants to ensure that their staff and customers can get home safely late at night."
Wilkinson added: "We are already aware of hotel and restaurant bookings being cancelled.
“With soaring utility bills, serious staffing issues and now disruption on the railways, this summer is shaping up to be a perfect storm for businesses."
Fergus Mutch, of Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce, told BBC Scotland: "If there's no trains we're scuppered.
"It's going to be an absolute disaster.
"We have had severe disruption for several weeks now, off the back of the most miserable couple of years, it's going to hit the north east economy hard.
"It's going to be a nightmare for business travellers, for those going to and from work, for people travelling for leisure, at the start of the peak of Scotland's tourist season, visitors to this country flooding in, restricted services or non-existent services.
"Aberdeen is being completely cut off. We think that is completely unacceptable."
The UK-wide dispute has been caused by Network Rail planning to axe hundreds of critical maintenance jobs.
It is not linked to the separate dispute involving ASLEF, the train drivers' union, and ScotRail.
A spokesman for the Scottish Government said: "While this dispute is a matter for the RMT union and the relevant employers, we would of course encourage all parties to engage in meaningful dialogue to ensure a satisfactory agreement can be reached for the benefit of passengers and staff alike.
"This is particularly important given the current cost of living crisis.
"The Transport Minister has written to Grant Shapps making this clear and also that we will be very clear with the public where the responsibility for this issue rests."

Production at bedeviled baby formula factory halted by storm
(AP) - Severe weather has forced Abbott Nutrition to pause production at a Michigan baby formula factory that had just restarted after being closed for several months, contributing to a national shortage.
Production for Abbott’s EleCare specialty formula has been suspended, but there is enough supply to meet demand until production is restarted, the company said. Abbott had prioritized ramping up production of the specialty formula for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems who have few other options for nutrition.
Abbott says it needs to assess damage and re-sanitize the factory after severe thunderstorms and heavy rains swept through southwestern Michigan late Monday. Spokesman Jonathon Hamilton said flooding hit a few areas of the factory, but he declined to provide more specific details about damage.
The storm also brought high winds, hail and power failures to Sturgis, Michigan, where the factory is located. The company expects production and distribution to be delayed for a few weeks as it cleans the plant.
Once it restarts, the factory will begin with the production of EleCare and other specialty formulas. Abbott says it also plans to restart production of its Similac formula as soon as possible.
Abbott had initially restarted the factory on June 4 after it had been closed since February due to contamination.
The factory was closed after the Food and Drug Administration began investigating four bacterial infections among infants who consumed powdered formula from the plant. Two of the babies died. The company continues to state that its products have not been directly linked to the infections, which involved different bacterial strains.
FDA inspectors eventually uncovered a host of violations at the plant, including bacterial contamination, a leaky roof and lax safety protocols.
Abbott recalled several leading brands of formula in February, including Similac. That squeezed supplies that had already been strained by supply chain disruptions and stockpiling during COVID-19 shutdowns.
The ongoing formula shortage has been most dire for children with allergies, digestive problems and metabolic disorders who rely on specialty formulas. Federal officials have said the Abbott factory is the only source of many of those products, providing nutrition to about 5,000 U.S. babies, according to federal officials.
Abbott is one of just four companies that produce about 90% of U.S. formula. Hamilton said Abbott has produced 8.7 million pounds of formula in June, or 95% of what it produced the month before the recall.
He said much of that production was for Similac, and the figure doesn’t include anything from the Sturgis plant.
Federal officials have said it could take several more weeks before formula supplies return to normal levels. President Joe Biden’s administration has eased import rules for foreign manufacturers, airlifted formula from Europe and invoked federal emergency rules to prioritize U.S. production.

CHICAGO, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The engineering firm Syska Hennessy Group and real estate owner Third Millennium Group have launched a holistic auditing program that measures four aspects of building performance: indoor air quality, building automation systems and telecommunications infrastructure, sustainability, and execution (workflows and use of data).
Syska's auditing team comprises experts in building automation systems, sustainability, and facilities management. The team conducted inaugural audits at two Third Millennium commercial properties in Chicago -- 540 West Madison and 300 South Riverside. Third Millennium, which shared the resulting "scorecards" with tenants, plans to repeat the process with Syska every year.
"Third Millennium understands that in today's competitive leasing environment, tenants care about multiple components of building performance; not just energy efficiency or technology," says Syska associate partner Tom Grimard. "A LEED, WiredScore, or WELL certification on its own is no longer sufficient to sway leasing decisions."
Celeste Villanueva, general manager at Third Millennium, reports that the firm is now applying lessons learned from the original audits. Although both properties earned excellent scores (one A and three A-minuses for 540 West; two As and two A-minuses for 300 South), Third Millennium is taking steps to improve the metrics. For instance, operations staff at both buildings are tracking kilowatt hours and water usage more closely and reviewing recycling initiatives with tenants.
"Now we have a scorecard to show tenants and investors, and a spreadsheet that guides our progress," she says. "Although we aced the test, we want to continue the momentum."
According to Christian Nazon, Syska senior associate, the auditing program represents a new model for engineers. As he notes, "Building operations today is a holistic enterprise. Energy tracking, for example, integrates with IoT applications. It's important to measure not only the quality of systems and infrastructure, but also the quality and depth of integrations."
Syska Hennessy Group is global engineering firm that specializes in MEP, information and communication technology (ICT), vertical transportation, and commissioning. With more than 500 professionals across 18 offices, the company provides a full range of engineering services for projects of every size and budget. Since 1928, Syska has been designing smarter, safer, and more efficient buildings by integrating essential systems that respond and adapt to a changing world.
Third Millennium Properties is a private firm dedicated to investing alongside corporations and private funds in the purchase, management, and growth of real estate portfolios and corporate buy-outs. The firm acquires best-in-class/best-in-submarket properties with unique opportunities for creating added value using the Third Millennium's time-tested asset repositioning strategy.
