For the past five months, Proskauer has acted as pro bono counsel to Instituto Recicleiros (Recicleiros), a Brazilian non-profit, in obtaining a grant from the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW). AEPW is an industry-founded non-profit dedicated to funding projects to reduce, and ultimately end, plastic waste.
Brazil has long struggled to properly manage solid waste, as many cities do not provide for proper collection, treatment and disposal of solid waste. This deficiency has resulted in the proliferation of informal dump sites (lixões) that generate public health and environmental hazards. The recent enactment of Brazil's National Policy for Solid Waste Management requires private companies to comply with recycling requirements and integrate the use of recycled materials into their production processes. Other regulations stipulate that municipalities must ensure that there are proper disposal options, including the recycling of solid materials.
Notwithstanding these policies, the absence of funding and a complex legal framework have created challenges for many cities to implement disposal and recycling programs. As a result, many impoverished individuals have begun informally acting as waste collectors (catadores de lixo) in order to sell recyclable materials themselves.
Recicleiros identifies communities throughout Brazil that do not have adequate recycling programs but do have a significant number of catadores de lixo. Recicleiros incubates recycling cooperatives in these communities and trains the waste collectors to operate the cooperatives, thereby providing technical training and formal jobs to marginalized and vulnerable individuals.
Recicleiros' cooperatives act as sorting units for recyclable materials and sell the sorted materials to private companies to reuse in their production processes. Once Recicleiros deems these sorting units economically self-sufficient, Recicleiros donates the units to the members of the cooperative, thereby promoting the social and economic independence of its members.
Recicleiros also works with municipalities to ensure that proper waste management policies are implemented and regular municipal waste collection services are provided to the sorting units. Meanwhile, Recicleiros negotiates with private companies to purchase materials from the cooperatives, ensuring a steady demand for the cooperatives and a reliable and traceable source of recycled material for the companies. As a result of its work so far, Recicleiros has entered into agreements with prominent corporate clients across Brazil, including numerous multinational corporations.
With the proceeds from the AEPW grant, Recicleiros will expand the reach of its operations to all 27 Brazilian states, implementing sorting units in an additional 60 cities throughout the country. These new units are expected to increase the recovery value from plastic waste by segregating the collection of household waste and recycling more than 30 kilotons of plastic waste every year. These new units are expected to generate over 3,000 jobs, with a social impact on more than three million people.
The Proskauer team representing Recicleiros includes Partner Antonio Piccirillo and Associate André Perdiza.

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff hosted an evening of NASA STEM activities Friday at the Naval Observatory for military families and local students and their families, which included a special screening of Disney Pixar's Lightyear.
NASA provided three hands-on STEM activities to inspire students from 4th to 8th grade to engage with the science, technology, engineering and math behind NASA's missions. Former astronaut and former NASA Associate Administrator of Education Leland Melvin and astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli, Stephanie Wilson, and Tom Marshburn answered questions about their time in space. Marshburn recently returned with NASA's SpaceX Crew-3 from the International Space Station and was the NASA technical consultant on the film. Also in attendance were Lightyear actors Keke Palmer and Uzo Aduba.
"It was wonderful to work on these STEM activities with a bright young group of future leaders showcasing the exciting work we're doing at NASA in STEM and in space," said NASA Astronaut Thomas Marshburn. "This next generation – the Artemis Generation – will build on the work we're doing today to get us to the Moon and Mars, and it all starts here with inspiring young people on Earth."
Through NASA's Office of STEM engagement, the agency makes investments in engaging students, educators, and educational institutions to attract diverse groups of students to STEM for a diverse set of students to contribute to NASA's work and build a diverse future STEM workforce. OSTEM's Next Gen STEM project focuses on NASA's efforts to engage K-12 students, including those traditionally underrepresented and underserved, and provides support to informal educational institutions.
NASA also engages and inspires the next generation through STEM collaborations as the country prepares for human exploration of the Moon. NASA's Artemis program will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. NASA will then use what they learn to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
U.S. leadership in science and technology depends on increasing student STEM engagement and as Chair of the National Space Council, the Vice President has made it a priority to ensure the Administration is inspiring future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and explorers.

Where the Wollongong world championship elite road ride will be won
By Liam Phelan
Former Australian pro cyclist Mark Renshaw doesn’t know who will win the men’s elite race at the UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong – but he has revealed where it will be won.
Renshaw, a track world champion and the former lead-out rider for English sprinter Mark Cavendish, is the safety manager for the Wollongong event in September and says it will be a highly technical 267-kilometre challenge.
“Wollongong is really going to be blown out of the water,” Renshaw predicted about the scale of the world championships, cycling’s biggest global event, which involves 1000 riders racing over eight days from September 18-25. Organisers are expecting up to 30,000 spectators and claim 300 million will watch on television.
Renshaw said the men’s elite ride, with 3945 vertical metres of climbing, was “an extremely difficult course that can be divided into three stages”.
In the first stanza, the 200-strong peloton rolls from Helensburgh, 45 kilometres south of Sydney, and plunges down Bald Hill before the neutral flag is raised at Stanwell Park and the race gets under way over the stunning Sea Cliff Bridge. The group hug the coast before the second stage, the Mount Keira circuit, the biggest climb of the day. The final sector is 12 leg-sapping laps (six for the women) around Wollongong city centre.
“The Keira climb won’t be where the race is decided, but you will see the first chink in the armour; it’s where the first body blow will be struck,” Renshaw told the Herald on a recent reconnaissance ride of the course.
It’s the city circuit where the race will most likely blow apart, Renshaw predicts, unless a country such as France or Italy launches a long-range attack.
“It’s a very exciting, punchy circuit,” he said. “Lots of points where they have to brake and reaccelerate: it’s 17.1 kilometres long but has 33 corners.”
Within this speedway cauldron of lycra and carbon fibre, Renshaw says a short, lactic nightmare pinch of Ramah Avenue, 1.1 kilometres long but with gradients of 14 per cent, will be crucial, as will the nearby descent where riders will push 100km/h before a sharp right turn.
“On the last lap on the top of Ramah there will only be three of four riders left,” Renshaw said. “They will have to be really strong to ride away solo, but there’s enough turns and undulations for somebody to jump away and take the win.”
He said if a small bunch regrouped after Ramah, it’s possible the final pinch on the seafront outside the Novotel could be enough to get someone away solo in the final kilometres before the finish line on Marine Drive.
”It wouldn’t surprise me if the race comes down to this point, with about 1.5k left to go,” Renshaw said.
Wollongong City Council deputy lord mayor Tania Brown said excitement was building about the event.
“This is Wollongong’s Olympic moment,” she said. “It’s on that same magnitude for us: 300,000 people are expected over 10 days. But it’s the global reach on TV that really gives us a chance to sell the area to the world.”
Wollongong 2022 chairman Dean Dalla Valle said the organisation and council had been working together to prepare the course for the enormous event.
”It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold a world championships on your doorstep,” the keen amateur rider said. He said organisers need more volunteers to help.
Renshaw predicts the course will suit Australian riders such as Michael Matthews and perhaps Caleb Ewan.
“It will be difficult for Caleb, but definitely possible for Matthews,” he said. “I think they’ll go for a third wild card, for instance a climber who can ride a one-day race such as Jack Haig.”
For the women, he mentioned Grace Brown, Sarah Gigante and Penrith’s Amanda Spratt would be in with a chance. “It would be great to see Spratty up there as the local rider,” he said.
Renshaw said organisers were working hard with locals to get them to understand how big the event was, but they would be in for a big surprise.
“We are in a period of the most exciting racing ever,” he said. “The level of the playing field is so high and there are numerous riders capable of winning. This event will be a huge moment for the area and for Australia.”

As another successful school year in Scottsbluff Public Schools has come to an end, I would like to take a moment and reflect on the accomplishments of the Class of 2022 and provide an update on summer happenings.
The accomplishments of the Class of 2022 are nothing short of remarkable. As a class, they earned 2,531 college credits and completed over 800 college courses. This class had 26 Summa Cum Laude (4.0 GPA and above) recipients, which is the highest of any class since introducing our Laude System for academic recognition. As a class, they not only excelled in the classroom, but also in extracurricular activities. During the 2021-22 school year, Scottsbluff High School won seven NSAA Team District Championships, and our fine arts program had 19 students participate in their respective All-State Competitions. Congratulations, graduates.
Elementary modernization projects continue this summer. Roosevelt is receiving additional updates that were not able to get completed in the Summer of 2021, and the work at Longfellow is fully underway. Demolition is nearly complete, new flooring is being installed throughout the building, and classrooms are being modernized with flat panel displays, new furniture, and whiteboards, all of which are designed to best meet the needs of our 21st-century learners.

In addition, thanks to the generous support of the Scottsbluff Public Schools Foundation and Platte Valley Companies, both schools will receive new playground equipment. The comprehensive elementary modernization plan would not have been possible if not for the responsible work of the Board of Education and district leadership in financially positioning the district to self-fund this scope of work, along with a highly skilled facilities and technology team.
Although it may be summer break, we have over 450 students attending summer school at four different sites, with an extended day option for elementary students that is providing opportunities for academic and social development. And, at eight different locations, we are serving free lunch to an average of 380 kids per day, further demonstrating our commitment to the overall wellness of our community.
At its June meeting, the Board of Education approved a resolution to pay off our Qualified Capital Purpose Undertaking Fund (QCPUF) bonds earlier than anticipated. This fiscally responsible action will reduce the levy requested for this fund from 5.2 cents to 3 cents two years earlier than originally scheduled.
As we continue plans and preparation for the 2022-23 school year, we hope our students, families, and staff are enjoying a well-deserved break. We look forward to the start of another school year in August and welcoming our newest class of Bearcats into our system. On Aug. 1, we will be holding our second annual Back to School Bearcat Bash, please mark your calendars and watch for more information. And, although school may be out, the District Office, located at 1722 1st Avenue, is open all summer to help parents or patrons with anything you may need. Thank you for your continued support of our school system!

Cast your minds back to September 4, 2020, when West Bromwich Albion announced the signing of Grady Diangana.
Albion’s recruitment department had focused on getting the band back together for their 2020-21 Premier League season, having won promotion from the Championship with a side heavily reliant on loan players. With a deal already in place for Matheus Pereira to complete a permanent move from Sporting Lisbon and a free run at Filip Krovinovic’s signature, Slaven Bilic signing Diangana for an initial £12 million from West Ham United appeared to be the club’s outstanding coup of the transfer window.
To illustrate how highly rated he was, Mark Noble took to Twitter on the announcement of Diangana’s transfer to express his frustration that the club would allow a player of his quality to depart. He said, “As captain of this football club, I’m gutted, angry and sad that Grady has left. Great kid with a great future!!!!!”.
The former West Ham captain’s fury appeared to be vindicated 10 minutes into Albion’s second match of the season when his former team-mate powered a shot past Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford 25 yards from goal. At that time, there was no suggestion that he was not ready to step up from being one of the Championship’s most exciting young talents to a bona fide star in the Premier League.
But, as the pressure mounted on Bilic with his Albion side struggling to adapt to the adjustment in pace and quality in the Premier League, Diangana’s form subsequently dropped off a cliff. Sam Allardyce, Bilic’s replacement, did the former England Under-21 international no favours either, involving him in six of the final 21 matches of the season, with two starts.
So The Athletic has implemented a three-point plan for Diangana to resurrect the scintillating form from 2019-20 that prompted Steve Bruce to describe him as “the best player in the league”…
1) Strike up a relationship with John Swift
A significant reason Albion were strolling towards promotion before COVID-19 hit in the 2019-20 season was the form of Diangana and Pereira. Under Bilic, the three players behind the striker in his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation were fluid, with Diangana, Pereira and often Krovinovic interchanging positions.
Under Ismael, Albion were at their best early in the season when they sacrificed possession to the opposition and pressed intensely high up the pitch, focusing on winning the ball in dangerous areas and launching quick counter-attacks. While Ismael was confident this would bring the best out of Diangana, it soon became apparent that his strict defensive instructions were lost on a player at his best combining with other creative players.
With the signing of Swift, Diangana has a player in a similar mould to Pereira with the ability to create from deep and interchange positions. For example, here is Pereira in an inside-right position during 2019-20, a similar area to where Swift liked to operate for Reading last campaign.
Diangana drifts in from the left and assumes the central striker role, with his back turned to goal. After Pereira drills in a pass to his feet, Diangana bounces the ball back into Pereira’s run and the Brazilian whips his shot past Alex Smithies and into the Cardiff net.
Without a partner capable of reliably and frequently creating chances since Pereira’s departure, Diangana appeared a misfit in Ismael’s system that did not maximise his strengths. However, with Bruce demonstrating a desire to return to the 4-2-3-1 formation that brought Albion success during 2019-20, Diangana has a running mate capable of providing a Pereira-esque spark to Albion’s final-third play.
2) Get him dribbling again
There is hardly a better sight in the Championship than watching Diangana confident and dribbling at opponents. His ability to jink left and right, combining speed and flair, is the primary reason why Albion fans fell head over heels for him under Bilic and were desperate for the club to sign him permanently. The problem is that he does not do it nearly as frequently as he used to.
Of all players who started 10 or more Championship games in 2019-20, Diangana completed the most dribbles per 90 minutes. His tally of 3.52 was more than second-placed Said Benrahma (3.28) and well ahead of sixth-placed Eberechi Eze, who, along with Pereira and Diangana, were considered among the elite attacking players in the second tier during that campaign.
Last season, the number dropped to 1.79, ranking him 26th among players who have played 15 or more matches. This followed a poor individual and team campaign the season before under Bilic and Allardyce, where he could not replicate his form in the Premier League despite moments of early promise. It is an alarming two-year slump in form that speaks to a player low in confidence and without a role that maximises his strengths.
Here is an example of him at his scintillating best during 2019-20. First, he steals the ball from Darragh Lenihan inside the Blackburn Rovers half…
Then, despite Lenihan’s attempts to hold him back, he drives forward with the ball on the left wing, where Charlie Austin and Matt Phillips are arriving in support…
To finish off the dribble, Diangana ignores the runs of Phillips and Austin and confidently lifts the ball over Christian Walton into the Blackburn net — a sign of the confidence and swagger he played with during that promotion campaign…
Bruce has already tried to show the former West Ham man some love to little avail, but pre-season is upon them, and his whispers of encouragement could be what is needed to get Diangana back doing what he does best.
3) Support him!
A primary reason why Ismael believed Diangana would find his best form in a 3-4-3 was that he envisioned him in the inside-right position, with Darnell Furlong in support on the wing, creating space via overlaps.
While this plan makes sense in theory, Ismael’s high-pressing plan became disjointed as the performances declined and Albion players seemed to lose faith in his tactics. Though the wing-backs should have been stationed higher up the field, they were often too far away from the attackers to support them when they won the ball. Diangana, who thrived with the support from Furlong, Nathan Ferguson or Dara O’Shea in the past, was often left to dribble into a cul-de-sac without an outlet from the right or a creative partner in the middle, a la Pereira.
Diangana enjoys drifting in from the right of the attack as a left-footer, where he is expected to feature a lot under Bruce this season. To provide him with the best conditions to succeed, Bruce must push Furlong in support of Diangana, allowing him to drift inside while the team maintains width, making space for the former West Ham man to create.
Here is an example of the value of width under Bilic, with Diangana assuming a central position and O’Shea stationed wide-right and deep inside the opposition’s half.
Diangana swings the play with a pass into O’Shea, who swiftly passes inside into Livermore, supporting the attack from deep…
Diangana then drifts into the inside-right position and receives a pass from Livermore before facing up the opposition defender, shifting left and wrong-footing the goalkeeper with a shot towards his near post…
Follow these three points and perhaps Bruce can provide Diangana with the conditions to help him revitalise his career, while significantly boosting Albion’s promotion prospects in the process.
It is then up to the 24-year-old to take advantage.

from the land-where-palm-trees-sway dept.
Inspired by palm trees, scientists develop hurricane-resilient wind turbines:
Wind technology is growing—literally. Today's offshore wind turbines can tower more than 490 feet above ground, their spinning blades churning out up to 8 megawatts (MW) each—about enough to power 4000 homes in the U.S.
But with their increasing size comes challenges. Off the east coast, where offshore turbines are located in the U.S., increasingly powerful Atlantic hurricanes pose risks to the structures themselves and to the future of wind energy. To make those turbines more hurricane-resilient, a team of CU Boulder researchers are taking a cue from nature and turning the turbine around.
"We are very much bio-inspired by palm trees, which can survive these hurricane conditions," said Lucy Pao, Palmer Endowed Chair in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering.
Traditional upwind turbines face the incoming wind, and to avoid being blown into the tower, their blades must be sufficiently stiff. It requires a lot of material to build these relatively thick and massive blades, which drives up their cost. Turbine blades on downwind rotors, however, face away from the wind, so there's less risk of them hitting the tower when the winds pick up. This means they can be lighter and more flexible, which requires less material and therefore less money to make. These downwind blades can also then bend instead of break in the face of strong winds—much like palm trees.
[...] Ultimately, she believes a combination of improved controllers, lighter and resilient materials, and strategic turbine configurations could allow for giant offshore turbines to outpace the competition. They're not only more cost-effective and energy efficient, allowing for one big turbine instead of many smaller ones (which would reduce installation and maintenance costs), and able to capture faster wind speeds higher off the ground, but they could also withstand the more severe weather sure to come.
"Wind turbine blades are typically designed to last at least 20 years, and we want our novel concept blades to achieve similarly long lifetimes," said Pao. | https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=22/06/17/1334238&from=rss | 2022-06-18T04:45:56Z | https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=22/06/17/1334238&from=rss | false | 1 |
FEW of the 3.6 million people who cast their votes on that emotionally charged day for Scotland – September 18, 2014 –would have dreamt that it would turn out to be a twice-in-a-generation exercise. All the more so when the result revealed that No had won more decisively than had generally been forecast.
Eight years later, however, here we are, potentially on the brink of a re-run of that independence referendum, with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon this week firing the long awaited, or long feared, starting gun with the first of a series of briefing papers.
It has to be acknowledged at the outset that the SNP has every right to continue to push its dream of an independent Scotland. It has nourished this dream, and only this dream, for many decades, in and out of power. There were surely times when the party was so peripheral to Scottish life that the thought that, under the SNP, Scotland might one day secede from the Union was unutterably surreal, a Walter Mittyish daydream.
But the party has diligently transformed itself into a vote-winning machine, stirring passionate hopes of independence in the hearts of many Scots and, in recording 11 election victories in its 15 years in power, it has deservedly replaced Labour as the real power in the land.
Successive election results in Scotland – parliamentary and local – have shown that the SNP has a genuine mandate to push for a referendum, even if last month’s local elections indicated, as the Tories’ Douglas Ross was quick to point out, that the vote for pro-UK parties was at 55% and the vote for pro-separation parties at 45% – exactly, he added, where Scotland stood eight years ago.
To the extent that Indyref2 is a perfectly valid objective to aim for, the Scottish Government’s series of briefing papers is to be welcomed. At last, flesh can begin to be put on the bones, though confidence was not exactly inspired by the admission that the order and dates of the other prospectus papers has yet to be decided.
There was at least a welcome splash of realism when Ms Sturgeon said that independence, for any country, does not automatically guarantee success.
Clarity on the key issues, however, is paramount.
Detailed, tested and costed proposals relating to currency, pensions and cross-border matters are necessary. Even if Ms Sturgeon could not quite bring herself to use the “B” word – borders – her acknowledgement that there would be customs and regulatory “issues” is a step in the right direction.
But she would do well to bear in mind the words of our columnist, Iain Macwhirter: of course there will be issues – and they would be far in excess of those that have caused a crisis in Northern Ireland that threatens the very peace of the province.
Much has changed since that tumultuous day in September 2014. For one, Brexit and its manifold uncertainties (and, yes, opportunities) for one. The cost-of-living crisis, already upon us, for another. The war in Ukraine is not going to end shortly and its impact upon the crisis can only be guessed at.
It is instructive to recall what the eminent historian, Sir Tom Devine, noted in an analysis of the 2014 defeat: that Yes lost mainly because it signally failed to provide convincing answers to the economic uncertainties that had been triggered in the minds of most of the electorate during the campaign.
Such uncertainties are even worse now. Is this really the best time for Scotland to embark on another costly exercise to vote on independence – particularly when one thinks about the many disruptions and adjustments that would follow on from a successful Yes vote? Ms Sturgeon will need to address this, and not deal in bluster or evasion.
There are some Yes 2014 voters who are uneasy about the determination to push ahead with a second vote. They will have to be reassured of the wisdom behind such a move. That will not be easy. Other issues need to be addressed. Given that Boris Johnson, in an act of rare decisiveness, has indicated that the 2014 vote has to be respected, just how is Edinburgh going to bring about a second referendum? If Ms Sturgeon opts for a plebiscite without a Section 30 order, the legal battle that would ensue would be formidably time consuming.
And will the SNP make a genuine attempt to reach out to all those people who voted ‘No’ eight years ago? She has made no discernible attempt to address them since the referendum. Many of course are profoundly hostile to even the vaguest notion of independence; good luck with trying to argue with them. Others, though, might be more open to intelligent argument.
Given that there has yet to be a lasting, clear-cut majority in favour of Scotland quitting the UK, it might make sense to at least reach out to those latter No voters and try to bring them onside by quelling their fears. Again, it will not be easy.
Furthermore, the SNP’s managerial qualities have been dented by a succession of controversies. A reasonable voter might ask, if the Scottish Government can make such an unholy mess of two ferries, how can we expect it to run an indepedent Scotland satisfactorily?
It is not difficult to understand the impulses of those whose patience with the status quo has run out, who long to see Scotland breaking free from the UK and seeking to emulate the success of other small countries. Keeping them enthusiastic has not been an easy task for Ms Sturgeon over the last few years but she has now given them renewed hope.
We have no doubt that, everything else being equal, an independent Scotland could in time become another small, successful country, like Denmark. But rigorous detail needs to be forthcoming before we can glimpse the road ahead.
Will we, for example, require Scandinavian levels of taxation in order to enjoy Scandinavian levels of public spending?
As Scotland squares up to an uncompromising post-Brexit, post-pandemic future and starts to reconsider going it alone, there are so many tough questions that must be answered candidly. Mere aspirations will no longer suffice.
A helping hand
THE cost-of-living crisis is festering. Food and fuel are becoming ever more expensive. Rising interest rates contribute to fears of a world recession. UK inflation is at a 40-year high of 9%.
More needs to be done to aid struggling families and, although there is no bottomless money pit, Westminster and Holyrood should look at all avenues. Examining tax thresholds in the context of the lower-paid could be a useful approach in Scotland; London could look afresh at winter fuel payments for the elderly as well as the levels of petrol and diesel fuel tax. Doing nothing is not a palatable option.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — The polls were closed in Iowa for less than 48 hours when South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott was shaking hands and posing for pictures with eastern Iowa Republicans at a Cedar Rapids country club last week.
Scott, one of the many Republicans testing their presidential ambitions, hardly has the state to himself.
At least a half-dozen GOP presidential prospects are planning Iowa visits this summer, forays that are advertised as promoting candidates and the state Republican organization ahead of the fall midterm elections. But in reality, the trips are about building relationships and learning the political geography in the state scheduled to launch the campaign for the party's 2024 nomination.
While potential presidential candidates have dipped into Iowa for more than a year, the next round of visits marks a new phase of the ritual. With Iowa's June 7 primary out of the way, Republicans eyeing the White House can step up their travel and not worry about stepping into the state's intraparty rivalries.
“Now that it’s done, it’s full-bore," state GOP Chairman Jeff Kauffman said. "It’s unfettered.”
Beyond Scott, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is expected to visit late this month, and plans to campaign with as many Iowa congressional Republican candidates as she can in a little more than two days.
Haley, who is also the former governor of South Carolina, another early-voting state in the presidential calendar, plans to begin her trip in eastern Iowa on June 29 with first-term Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. She'll also headline a state GOP fundraiser in Dubuque.
Working from the Mississippi Valley westward, she plans to keynote a fundraiser for Gov. Kim Reynolds. Haley will also campaign with Zach Nunn, chosen to face two-term Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne, who is among the most vulnerable House members this year. Haley's still-fluid schedule also includes attending Rep. Randy Feenstra's annual fundraiser in GOP-heavy western Iowa.
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who visited several times in 2021, is expected the first week in July to speak at the county GOP dinner in Story County in central Iowa.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has visited Iowa more often than any GOP prospect, is working out details for a late summer return, aides said, likely timed to the Iowa State Fair in August, a storied draw for would-be candidates.
Pompeo did endorse Nunn before the primary, a nod to their shared military experience, Pompeo aides said.
The plans also come in light of the Republican National Committee's unanimous decision in April to open the 2024 presidential selection sequence in Iowa, a question still hanging over Iowa Democrats.
In 2020, a smartphone app designed to calculate and report the Democratic caucuses results failed, prompting a telephone backlog that prevented the party from reporting final results for nearly a week after the Feb. 3 contest. The Associated Press announced it was unable to declare a winner after irregularities and inconsistencies marred the results.
Stripped of their automatic special status in April, Iowa Democrats are trying to salvage their leadoff spot with a plan to allow early participation by mail and streamline the sometimes time-consuming process.
With Joe Biden in the White House, Democrats with White House ambitions have largely kept their distance from Iowa.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who won the 2016 caucuses and was the final candidate to drop from the 2020 Democratic contest, was in southeastern Iowa Friday to rally support for United Auto Workers striking at a CNH agricultural machinery plant. Sanders’ plans, which also included a stop in southeastern Wisconsin, sparked questions about whether the 80-year-old has a third White House bid in mind. He has said he wouldn’t challenge Biden if the president sought reelection, and Sanders advisers said there had been no stated changes in his plans.
On the GOP side, Scott's return was not only timely. It reflected the dual aims of these early appearances, part introduction and part demonstration of support for the local party.
The 56-year-old sketched his childhood as one influenced by grandparents who helped raise him. Of his grandfather, Scott said, “For a guy who picked cotton in the 1920s, he lived long enough to watch me pick out a seat in the United States Congress.”
Sprinkled with lighthearted contrasts of his Southern home and Midwestern hosts, Scott also wasted no time noting he had contributed money from his campaign fundraising account to Iowa Republican candidates, including targeted eastern Iowa GOP House freshmen members Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson.
“It's going to take us all pulling together," he told a table of about 10 eating barbecue sandwiches, as he worked the dining room before the event.
Even before Scott's arrival, former Vice President Mike Pence was on the phone that day to Chairman Kauffman and Steve Scheffler, Iowa's Republican National Committeeman, to talk about the primaries and the summer ahead, they said.
Pence was planning a summer trip to Iowa, though the date was not yet confirmed, a senior aide to the former vice president said.
Notably missing from the Iowa travel schedule is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, among the most often mentioned rising national Republican figures in conversations with Iowa party activists this year. DeSantis' priority is running for reelection this year, aides said.
“I love DeSantis,” said Emma Aquino-Nemecek, a Linn County Republican Central Committee member who attended the Tim Scott event. “Can you imagine if he comes? He would pack the place."
DeSantis got within shouting distance of Iowa in September, when he helped headline a fundraiser for Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, but he did not cross the Missouri River to touch Iowa soil.
Even more notably missing from the summer schedule so far is former President Donald Trump, who staged a massive rally in Des Moines last year at the Iowa state fairgrounds, and has endorsed several Iowa Republicans.
Kauffman said he had not heard from Trump’s team. Likewise, Iowa operatives for Trump did not return messages.
Still, Trump sent signals to Iowa Republicans by paying for print ads in the program circulated at the Iowa Republican Party’s state convention Saturday, as did Scott, Pompeo and Florida Sen. Rick Scott.
Scheffler said non-Trump Republicans may feel emboldened in light of Georgia Republicans' resounding rejection in last month's primary elections of the former president's endorsed candidate for governor.
Gov. Brian Kemp won the GOP primary comfortably over David Perdue, whom the former president endorsed after Trump narrowly lost Georgia in the 2020 presidential election, claiming without evidence the results were invalid due to rampant voter fraud.
The speed bump for Trump's influence in the primary elections could signal to other 2024 prospects that the former president is not invincible, Scheffler said.
“If Trump keeps making these endorsements and they go south, like he did in Georgia, who knows?" Scheffler said. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Iowa-doors-swing-open-for-Republicans-eyeing-17250418.php | 2022-06-18T04:50:15Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Iowa-doors-swing-open-for-Republicans-eyeing-17250418.php | false | 58 |
Agnes at 50: Here's a look back at the devastating storm by the numbers
Tropical Storm Agnes, which caused historic flooding 50 years ago this month, still ranks as the most destructive storm in central Pennsylvania.
Since Agnes, only Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 produced comparable rainfall amounts in central Pennsylvania, said Kyle Elliott, director of the Weather Information Center at Millersville University. More than 11.16 inches fell at the York Airport in Jackson Township, according to the National Weather Service.
In 1972, Agnes was the first named storm of the hurricane season. It made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 and was downgraded to a tropical depression. Agnes later regained strength to become a tropical storm and merged with another storm system as it hit the Northeast.
Central Pennsylvania already had experienced an abnormally wet spring when Agnes dumped torrential rain in mid-June, Elliott said.
"An already wet pattern preceding a historic rainfall event is a recipe for disaster since the ground will not be able to absorb much moisture," he wrote in an email.
The catastrophic flooding destroyed homes and shut down Harrisburg International Airport, railroads and roadways, according to a government website dedicated to the anniversary of the storm .
Downtown York was under water in parts of the city, causing about $10 million in damage. Many had to be evacuated because of the flooding.
Glen Rock was another community hit hard. Cars, tires, groceries and more floated away.
Tropical Storm Agnes, 50 years ago: ‘It was like something out of the Bible’
Here's a look at the impact of Agnes, by the numbers:
$3.1 billion: The damage caused by Hurricane Agnes to the East Coast
128 : Deaths caused by Hurricane Agnes.
50 : The number of fatalities in Pennsylvania.
Agnes, 50 years ago: Storm left behind ‘mud, dead rats, old tires, and all kinds of trash’
4 : People declared dead in York County.
12 : The number of states, including Pennsylvania, affected by widespread flooding.
16 inches : The amount of rain that fell in York between June 20 and June 25.
13.5 : Inches of rain that fell in York on June 22, 1972. The weather station’s observation center recorded about an inch the day before and an inch the day after.
10.27 : Inches of rain that fell at Millersville University in Lancaster County.
1.1 million : Gallons of water per minute that spilled over Indian Rock Dam, flooding York.
$12,917,000 : The damage caused in York. Much of it was to low-income housing, and some dwellings could not be restored.
30,000 cubic feet per second: The discharge unleashed on the Codorus Creek during the storm. The high was in August 1933, when the discharge was about 32,000 cubic feet per second.
10 feet: The reduction in the crest stage for the Codorus Creek, thanks to Indian Rock Dam.
1,080,000 cubic feet per second: The discharge on the Susquehanna River at Marietta, Lancaster County. It beat the previous record of 787,000 cubic feet per second, set in 1936.
32.5 feet: The crest of the Suquehanna River in Harrisburg. It surpassed the 1936 record of 29.2 feet.
17 feet: The flood stage for the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg.
64.5 feet: The crest of the Susquehanna River at Marietta. Flood stage is 49 feet.
18.33 feet: The crest of the Yellow Breeches Creek at Camp Hill. Flood stage is 7 feet. In 1975, the creek set its highest crest at 18.77 feet during Hurricane Eloise. The creek divides York and Cumberland counties.
Better communication, other changes since Agnes
Officials have learned a lot from Agnes, said Charles Ross, service hydrologist with the National Weather Service in State College.
Communiciation with the public has improved in 50 years, giving residents advanced early warnings and time to prepare to evacuate, if needed.
During Agnes, the weather service, which had an office in Harrisburg at that time, lost power and its ability to disseminate warnings. For hours, the agency could not let the public know what was expected to happen with the Susquehanna River.
The Williamsport office, which kept its power, was issuing warnings to the public. However, no one knew because the way information was disseminated back then was completely different than today, Ross said.
Today, the weather service has generators, and its sister offices in New York and Virginia can serve as backups, he said. Agencies practice together for emergencies.
"Things have improved a lot," Ross said. "But you know down the road in the next decade-plus, we're gonna even see better, you know, more sophisticated changes" in technology and communication.
Learn about this: York Airport records far colder temperatures than the rest of the area. Here's why.
Also of interest: Digging for fossils in a York churchyard, he found a brand new species: Yorkicystis haefneri
Federal programs have helped people with properties in the floodplain. In some cases, buildings have been raised. In others, they have been bought out to reduce the number of structures in the floodway.
Residents, especially those who live in an area that floods, should watch the weather and know the level at which they need evacuate. They also need to be familiar with how to escape safely and have important items ready to take with them.
Even those who don't live near water should be familiar with roads that flood, he said. Drivers can come upon a road covered with water if emergency responders have not yet closed it.
"We want everybody to be prepared for the next Agnes because it could happen," he said.

Chelsea must remain patient with Ousmane Dembele to repeat Thiago Silva trick
OUSMANE DEMBELE has held talks with Chelsea.
Chelsea's 2022-23 Premier League fixtures
With Manchester City and Liverpool strengthening already this summer, Chelsea fans may find themselves scratching their heads wondering when reinforcements were arriving. But Thomas Tuchel and co must be patient with their pursuit of Ousmane Dembele, despite extended talks.
The Blues changing hands meant that they were unable to extend contracts, open talks with players and function as a normal club in the market. However, now that Todd Boehly is at the helm and those issues are somewhat behind the team, attention must quickly turn to improving the squad.
With Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen heading to the La Liga as free agents, and Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta being targeted by Barcelona too, signing a defender will be a priority for Tuchel. But adding another attacker into the mix is also deemed a priority by the German, it appears, and football.london have reported that talks are still ongoing with Ousmane Dembele but the club still are in the dark about whether he will head to Stamford Bridge.
The French forward has said that he will make a decision over his future when he returns from his holiday. But, given that Chelsea have enjoyed success recently with free agents, Dembele is worth being patient with.

One of the Blues’ most reliable stars over the two seasons has been Thiago Silva, who joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020 on a free transfer. The 37-year-old has been a composed and experienced leader in central defence for Tuchel’s side, but also showing plenty of quality.
Speaking after Silva extended his contract at Chelsea again, Tuchel said: ‘Thiago needs to be calm because he is a sensitive and emotional person. That makes him so precious for our team and our dressing room. He can feel different states of emotions from others, and can help so much with this.

“So he is calm, he has huge targets and he has a big impact. He is available and when he plays, he plays strong and is a big help. Good for him, good for us.” Dembele is an extremely different profile to Silva both on and off the pitch, with reports circulating that he had attitude problems that have hampered his career at Barcelona.
But the former Borussia Dortmund forward has unquestionable raw ability and Barca boss Xavi has been very vocal in how he believes the winger would be central to a brighter future at the Camp Nou. He registered 13 assists in 21 league appearances last season and his availability on a free transfer could see Chelsea reap the benefits in the long-term – given that he is 25 – if they persist with negotiations. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1627192/Chelsea-Thomas-Tuchel-Ousmane-Dembele-Thiago-Silva-transfer-SNT | 2022-06-18T04:52:06Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1627192/Chelsea-Thomas-Tuchel-Ousmane-Dembele-Thiago-Silva-transfer-SNT | true | 1 |

Bumgarner (3-6) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings, picking up the win Friday over the Twins.
The nine hits allowed were a season high for Bumgarner, but he was able to effectively limit the damage. The win snapped his four-start losing streak. The veteran southpaw now has a 3.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB across 70.1 innings in 14 starts overall. He's projected for a tough road start in San Diego next week.

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff hosted an evening of NASA STEM activities Friday at the Naval Observatory for military families and local students and their families, which included a special screening of Disney Pixar's Lightyear.
NASA provided three hands-on STEM activities to inspire students from 4th to 8th grade to engage with the science, technology, engineering and math behind NASA's missions. Former astronaut and former NASA Associate Administrator of Education Leland Melvin and astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli, Stephanie Wilson, and Tom Marshburn answered questions about their time in space. Marshburn recently returned with NASA's SpaceX Crew-3 from the International Space Station and was the NASA technical consultant on the film. Also in attendance were Lightyear actors Keke Palmer and Uzo Aduba.
"It was wonderful to work on these STEM activities with a bright young group of future leaders showcasing the exciting work we're doing at NASA in STEM and in space," said NASA Astronaut Thomas Marshburn. "This next generation – the Artemis Generation – will build on the work we're doing today to get us to the Moon and Mars, and it all starts here with inspiring young people on Earth."
Through NASA's Office of STEM engagement, the agency makes investments in engaging students, educators, and educational institutions to attract diverse groups of students to STEM for a diverse set of students to contribute to NASA's work and build a diverse future STEM workforce. OSTEM's Next Gen STEM project focuses on NASA's efforts to engage K-12 students, including those traditionally underrepresented and underserved, and provides support to informal educational institutions.
NASA also engages and inspires the next generation through STEM collaborations as the country prepares for human exploration of the Moon. NASA's Artemis program will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. NASA will then use what they learn to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
U.S. leadership in science and technology depends on increasing student STEM engagement and as Chair of the National Space Council, the Vice President has made it a priority to ensure the Administration is inspiring future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and explorers.

Jan. 6 witnesses push Trump stalwarts back to rabbit hole
(AP) - One by one, several of Donald Trump’s former top advisers have told a special House committee investigating his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection that they didn’t believe his lies about the 2020 election, and that the former president knew he lost to Joe Biden.
But instead of convincing Trump’s most stalwart supporters, testimony from former attorney general Bill Barr and Trump’s daughter Ivanka about the election and the attack on the U.S. Capitol is prompting many of them to simply reassert their views that the former president was correct in his false claim of victory.
Barr’s testimony that Trump was repeatedly told there was no election fraud? He was paid off by a voting machine company, according to one false claim that went viral this week. Ivanka Trump saying she didn’t believe Trump either? It’s all part of Trump’s grand plan to confuse his enemies and save America.
The claims again demonstrate how deeply rooted Trump’s false narrative about the election has become.
“It’s cognitive dissonance,” said Jennifer Stromer-Galley, a Syracuse University professor who has studied how Trump used social media and advertising to mobilize his base. “If you believe what Trump says, and now Bill Barr and Trump’s own daughter are saying these other things, it creates a crack, and people have to fill it.”
The lawmakers leading the hearings into the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol said one of their goals is to show how Trump repeatedly lied to his supporters in an effort to hold onto power and subvert American democracy.
“President Trump invested millions of dollars of campaign funds purposely spreading false information, running ads he knew were false, and convincing millions of Americans that the election was corrupt and he was the true president,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the panel’s vice chair. “As you will see, this misinformation campaign provoked the violence on January 6th.”
For those who accept Trump’s baseless claims, Barr’s testimony was especially jarring. In his interview with investigators, he detailed Trump’s many absurd allegations about the election 2020, calling them “bogus” and “idiotic.”
Barr told the committee when he talked with Trump, “there was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”
“He’s become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff,” Barr said.
Following his testimony, many Trump supporters using sites like Reddit, GETTR and Telegram blasted Barr as a turncoat and noted that he’s disputed Trump’s election claims before.
But many others began grasping for alternative explanations for this testimony.
“I’m still hoping Barr is playing a role,” one poster said on a Telegram channel popular with Trump supporters.
One post that spread widely this week suggested Barr was paid by Dominion Voting Systems, a company targeted by Trump and his supporters with baseless claims of vote rigging. “From 2009 to 2018, DOMINION PAID BARR $1.2 million in cash and granted him another $1.1 million in stock awards, according to SEC filings. (No wonder Barr can’t find any voter fraud!),” the post read.
Wrong Dominion. Barr was paid by Dominion Energy, a publicly traded company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, that provides power and heat to customers in several mid-Atlantic states.
Unlike Barr, Ivanka Trump has remained intensely popular with many Trump supporters and is seen by many as her father’s potential successor. That may be why so many had to find an an alternative explanation for why she told Congress she didn’t accept her father’s claims.
Jordan Sather, a leading proponent of the QAnon theory, claims both Barr and Ivanka Trump lied during their testimony on Trump’s orders, part of an elaborate scheme to defeat Trump’s enemies by confusing Congress and the American public.
“I can just imagine Donald Trump telling Ivanka: ‘Hey, go to this hearing, say these things. Screw with their heads,’” Sather said last week on his online show.
Some Trump supporters dismissed Ivanka Trump’s testimony entirely by questioning whether any of it was real. That’s another common refrain seen on far-right message boards. Many posters say they don’t even believe the hearings are happening, but are a Hollywood production starring stand-ins for the former president’s daughter and others.
“She looks different in a big way,” one poster asked on Telegram. “CGI?”

Decades of research document the detrimental health effects of BPA – an expert on environmental pollution and maternal health explains what it all means
It is probably best known for its presence in baby bottles due to campaigns by organizations such as Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families and Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.An extensive body of research has linked BPA to reproductive health problems, including endometriosis, infertility, diabetes, asthma, obesity and harming fetal neurodevelopment.After years of pressure from environmental and public health advocates, the US Food and Drug Administration agreed in June 2022 to reevaluate the health risks of BPA.
By Tracey Woodruff, Professor of Environmental Health, University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, Jun 18 (The Conversation) Whether or not you’ve heard of the chemical bisphenol A, better known as BPA, studies show that it’s almost certainly in your body. BPA is used in the manufacturing of products like plastic water bottles, baby bottles, toys and food packaging, including in the lining of cans.
BPA is one of many harmful chemicals in everyday products and a poster child for chemicals in plastics. It is probably best known for its presence in baby bottles due to campaigns by organizations such as Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families and Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.
An extensive body of research has linked BPA to reproductive health problems, including endometriosis, infertility, diabetes, asthma, obesity and harming fetal neurodevelopment.
After years of pressure from environmental and public health advocates, the US Food and Drug Administration agreed in June 2022 to reevaluate the health risks of BPA. This is significant because a vast body of research has documented that BPA is leaching from products and packaging into our food and drink and ultimately our bodies.
What is BPA? BPA is not only used in plastics and food and drink containers but also in pizza boxes, shopping receipts, liners of aluminum cans and much more. Scientists have found that BPA is an endocrine disruptor, which means it disrupts hormonal systems that support the body’s functioning and health.
Hormonal disruption is a particular problem during pregnancy and fetal development, when even minor changes can alter the trajectory of developmental processes, including brain and metabolic development.
Over the last two decades, public awareness about the risks led many companies to remove BPA from their products. As a result, studies have shown that BPA levels in people’s bodies appear to be declining in the US. However, a nationwide research team that I helped lead as part of a national NIH consortium showed in a recent study of pregnant women that the decline in BPA could in part be explained by the fact that BPA replacement chemicals have been on the rise over the last 12 years. And other studies have found that many BPA substitutes are typically just as harmful as the original.
As an environmental health scientist and professor and director of the University of California, San Francisco Programme on Reproductive Health and the Environment who specializes in how toxic chemicals affect pregnancy and child development, I am part of a scientific panel that decides if chemicals are reproductive or developmental toxicants for the State of California. In 2015, this committee declared BPA a reproductive toxicant because it has been shown to be toxic to ovaries.
BPA and the FDA BPA was first approved for use in food packaging by the FDA in the 1960s. In 2008, the agency released a draft report concluding that “BPA remains safe in food contact materials.” This assessment was met with pushback from many health advocates and environmental health organisations. The FDA claimed BPA to be “safe in food contact materials” as recently as 2018.
Meanwhile, since 2011, Canada and Europe have taken steps to ban or limit BPA in children’s products. In 2021, the European Union proposed “dramatic” decreases in BPA exposure limits due to a growing body of evidence linking BPA to health harms.
One of the major challenges to limiting harmful chemicals is that regulatory agencies like the FDA try to figure out the levels of exposure that they consider harmful. In the U.S., both the FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency have a long history of underestimating exposures – in some cases because they do not adequately capture “real-world exposures,” or because they fail to fully consider how even small exposures can affect vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children.
Latest research A large body of research has explored BPA’s effects on reproductive health. These studies have also revealed that many BPA substitutes are potentially even worse than BPA and have looked at how these chemicals act in combination with other chemical exposures that can also come from a variety of sources.
And while much attention has been paid to BPA’s effects on pregnancy and child development, there is also significant research on its effects on male reproductive health. It has been linked to prostate cancer and drops in sperm count.
In a study our research team conducted that measured BPA in pregnant women, we asked study participants if they knew about BPA or tried to avoid BPA. Many of our study participants said they knew about it or tried to avoid it, but we found their actions appeared to have no effect on exposure levels. We believe this is, in part, because of BPA’s presence in so many products, some of them known and some unknown that are difficult to control.
What you can do One of the most common questions our staff and clinicians that work with patients are asked is how to avoid harmful chemicals like BPA and BPA substitutes. A good rule of thumb is to avoid drinking and eating from plastics, microwaving food in plastic and using plastic take-out containers – admittedly easier said than done. Even some paper take-out containers can be lined with BPA or BPA substitutes.
Our recent review of the research found that avoiding plastic containers and packaging, fast and processed foods and canned food and beverages, and instead using alternatives like glass containers and consuming fresh food, can reduce exposures to BPA and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Research has shown that when heat comes into contact with plastic – whether water bottles, Tupperware, take-out containers or cans – BPA and other chemicals are more likely to leach into the food inside. One should also avoid putting hot food into a food processor or putting plastic containers into the dishwasher. Heat breaks down the plastic, and while the product might appear fine, the chemicals are more likely to migrate into the food or drink – and ultimately, into you.
We also know that when acidic foods like tomatoes are packaged in cans, they have higher levels of BPA in them. And the amount of time food is stored in plastic or BPA-lined cans can also be a factor in how much the chemicals migrate into the food.
No matter how much people do as individuals, policy change is essential to reducing harmful chemical exposures. A large part of our work at UCSF’s Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment is to hold regulatory agencies accountable for assessing chemical risks and protecting public health. What we have learned is that it is essential for agencies like the EPA and FDA to use the most up-to-date science and scientific methods to determine risk. (The Conversation) NSA

One clear signal that few people gave Michael Cassidy a chance of getting elected to Congress is that his campaign website got very little attention until he surprised 3rd District Rep. Michael Guest in last week’s Republican primary.
It was the day after the primary when political watchers pointed out the massive government spending proposals on Cassidy’s website — proposals that have since been removed.
The Mississippi Today website did the math and estimated that three of Cassidy’s former spending ideas would have cost taxpayers at least $48 trillion over 10 years. But the review of a single year will allow Guest to make the case that, while Cassidy may mock the congressman as a Republican in Name Only, the challenger was just another big spender until he ran strongly in the primary.
Cassidy’s team removed these ideas from his website after he led in the primary:
• Allow everyone to enroll in Medicaid, regardless of age. That is straight out of the Bernie Sanders playbook and would cost more than $4 trillion in its first year. (Fiscal sanity reaction: No.)
• Give newlyweds $20,000, which they would have to repay if they divorce. That would require quite a thank-you note to the federal government. More seriously, Mississippi Today reports there were 1.68 million marriages in 2020, so a $20,000 gift to each of those couples would have cost $33 billion. Taxpayers would have given 2019’s 2 million newlywed couples $40 billion. (Fiscal sanity reaction: Still no.)
• Give married couples $250 per month for each child under 10 years of age and $500 per month for each one between 11 and 17. America had about 73 million residents under age 18 in 2018. If 30 million of them live with a married couple, the government payout would be in the $135 billion range per year. (Fiscal sanity reaction: Another no.)
Again, all these expensive ideas have been removed from Cassidy’s website. In a statement after the runoff, he said critics, including Mississippi Today, are misrepresenting his platform. He said he only briefly considered supporting universal Medicare and now believes it would cost too much money.
As for payments to newlyweds and married parents, Cassidy said he wanted to provide incentives “to offset the many government-created costs of starting and raising a family.” But after “feedback from supporters,” he now supports other strategies like increasing the child tax deductions to help couples.
Cassidy describes himself as a pro-Trump, pro-American worker fiscal conservative who wants to reduce the $30 trillion national debt and stop the Federal Reserve from printing extra money. He said that if elected, he will be the first Mississippi congressman to join the conservative House Freedom Caucus, and called the June 28 runoff “America First vs. The Swamp.”
There’s no reason to doubt the sincerity of Cassidy’s statement, or his positions on other issues like election integrity, immigration and congressional term limits. But if he’s really that conservative, what was he thinking when he pitched all those freebies on his website?

Charles Leclerc will be penalized with 10 places on the starting grid in the Canadian GP in formula 1. In the fight for the title, the Monegasque suffers another blow and sees the Ferrari choose to put entirely new electronics in your power unit.
Leclerc retired from the Azerbaijan GP last Sunday (12) while leading the race after having a breakdown in his power unit, which the team itself confirmed was “beyond repair”.
This is yet another chapter in the series of unreliability that accompanies Leclerc in this treacherous phase. He also retired with power unit problems from the Spanish GP while leading and, after Baku, takes that grid penalty.

Ahead of Friday’s practice for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, the FIA confirmed that Ferrari has taken a new engine, MGU-H, MGU-K and electronic controls, all within its season allocation.
But after the conclusion of FP2, a second FIA document confirmed that Leclerc had acquired another new electronic control, his third of the year.
As this exceeds the season limit of two electronic controllers, it triggered a 10-place grid drop that Leclerc will take on Sunday.
The Monegasque even said that if he were to take this kind of punishment, he would prefer it to be in Montreal, because “it is an easier track to overtake”.

Peter Andre's thanks to Ipswich business for work on son's birthday Audi
- Credit: Mark Beadsworth
An Ipswich business owner raced into action when he received a call from Peter Andre to put the perfect finish on his son's birthday present.
The Mysterious Girl singer celebrated his eldest son Junior’s birthday this week by buying him an Audi, which has been transformed by Ipswich Alloy Wheels & Smart Repair Centre in 24 hours.
Owner Mark Beadsworth, 48, answered a call for help from the singer on Friday afternoon.
“I met Pete through his brother, Michael,” explained Mark.
“Michael used to DJ at my nightclub. We’ve known each other for about 15 years.
“Pete called me and asked if I could help to style an Audi he had bought Junior for his 17th birthday."
Mark agreed, and he and his team member, Ross Littlewood, worked flat out to get the car finished, as they only had 24 hours.

“We re-styled it, that’s to say, we made it that it will stand out from all the other Audis.”
After its makeover, the car’s wheels had changed from silver to black, and its brake calipers were a striking, luminous green. Window tints were added, and the car was debadged to remove the Audi emblem.
On Sunday, Mark set off for Peter Andre’s house.
“I met him for the first time about three years ago,” explained Mark. “I had tea at his house after he needed some work doing to his Bentley.
“His family were there, his wife, Emily, Junior, Princess and his younger children. There was an agent there, too, as they were filming something.
“He is honestly the friendliest, most loving, genuine person. They all are – they're one of the nicest families you could hope to meet.”
Mark arrived early on Sunday morning while Junior was still asleep, and spent some time getting the car clean.
“When I’d finished, I asked him, would you like me to leave now? It’s quite personal, giving your son his birthday present.
“But Pete said, no, you need to stay and see Junior’s face – and he asked me to film it for them.”
The singer said on Instagram he had been so scared he wasn't going to have everything ready and thanked the team for getting the wheels how Junior would like them in "record time".
Junior was gobsmacked with his present, with Pete playing the teenager’s first single ‘Slide,’ which was released today, over the car’s Bluetooth.
“He loved it, he couldn’t believe it, and Pete was saying, Junior, Beanie did the wheels,” said Mark, Beanie being his nickname.
“Junior gave me an expensive bottle of whisky to say thank you." | https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/business/ipswich-business-answers-peter-andre-birthday-callout-9044766 | 2022-06-18T05:57:12Z | https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/business/ipswich-business-answers-peter-andre-birthday-callout-9044766 | false | 1 |

The late, great “King of Rock and Roll” is known most for his signature sound and unforgettable dance moves. However, the Black community recognizes him as a musical thief, stealing from lesser-known Blues artists.
The upcoming film Elvis will explore Elvis Presley’s rise to fame in the 1950s while maintaining a complex relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It is set to debut in theaters June 24th.
Presley has had an affinity for Black music and culture since he was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. He grew up on the Black side of town. Presley would later run with the likes of Ike Turner and B.B. King. It is evident that Black musicians greatly influenced him, yet because of his whiteness, doors were opened for him that were not available to Black musicians.
“I always wanted to sing like Billy Kenny of the Ink Spots,” Presley told Jet Magazine in 1957 according to The Daily Beast. “I like that high, smooth style. I never sang like this in my life until I made that first record—‘That’s Alright, Mama.’ I remembered that song because I heard Arthur (Big Boy) Crudup sing it and I thought I would like to try it.”
It is widely known that Presley stole one of his biggest hits, “Hound Dog” from talented, Black vocalist, Big Mama Thornton. Prominent musicians and producers explained their personal encounters with the Rock and Roll star. Some called Presley a friend and even brother, like James Brown. While others referred to him as a crook, whose entire discography was built off the backs and skills of Black folks.
Legendary producer and musician, Quincy Jones, shared his personal interaction with Presley, which left a bad taste in his mouth.
“No. I wouldn’t work with him,” Jones told The Hollywood Reporter. “I was writing for [orchestra leader] Tommy Dorsey, oh God, back then in the ’50s. And Elvis came in, and Tommy said, ‘I don’t want to play with him.’ He was a racist mother — I’m going to shut up now. But every time I saw Elvis, he was being coached by [“Don’t Be Cruel” songwriter] Otis Blackwell, telling him how to sing.”
Surely, Presley wasn’t the first nor the last White artist to build his fame or legacy at the hands of Black people. There is no real justice the artists he has stolen from can receive now that they are gone. Still, we honor Black Music Month in their memory by highlighting the many artists Elvis Presley stole from throughout his career in the gallery below.
Did You Know Elvis Presley Was A Music Thief? 10 Times The “King of Rock & Roll” Stole From Black Artists was originally published on globalgrind.com
1. Big Mama Thornton – “Hound Dog”
Source:YouTubeNot Elvis thought he was doing something with his version. Tuh!
2. Lloyd Price – “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”
Source:YouTubeBlack artists add the soul that Presley and other White artists wish they could contribute to a record.
3. Chuck Berry – “Memphis, Tennessee”
Source:YouTubeElvis sang quite a few of Berry’s hits like Memphis, Tennessee, Maybelline and Johnny B Goode. Like sir, one wasn’t enough?
4. Lavern Baker – “Tweedle Dee”
Source:YouTubeWhat’s missing from Elvis’ version of “Tweedle Dee” — innate talent.
5. Ray Charles – “What’d I Say”
Source:YouTubeActually never knew this was anyone else’s song but Mr. Charles. Nice try though Elvis. Elvis’s version is from the movie Viva Las Vegas, which has him playing at some sort of whites-only dance party. Gross.
6. Roy Hamilton – “Unchained Melody”
Source:YouTubeHamilton was a huge influence on Elvis’s ballad singing. His version sounds nearly the same as Hamilton’s.
7. Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup – “So Glad You’re Mine”
Source:YouTubeBig Boy Crudup will give you the slow and smooth blues. Meanwhile, Presley speeds up his classics with his interpretation of “blues” meets “rock and roll.”
8. Junior Parker – “Mystery Train”
Source:YouTubeOnce again, a faster version of the exact same song is Elvis Presley’s watered-down rendition.
9. Fats Domino “Ain’t That A Shame”
Source:YouTubeIt is said that Fats Domino was such a huge influence on Elvis that when he was around, Elvis didn’t like to be called “The King”.

DONALDSONVILLE, La. (AP) — A former Episcopal church in Donaldsonville, built in 1873 on land donated by a slave owner and Louisiana governor, is now home to a new, permanent exhibit that pays tribute to enslaved people who worked Louisiana’s sugarcane fields
It will open on the weekend of Juneteenth, the celebration of the end of slavery in the U.S.
“It’s dedicated to the enslaved people who were brought here and their descendants,” said Kathe Hambrick, curator of the exhibit.
Hambrick is also the founder of the River Road African American Museum in Donaldsonville; the former Episcopal church on Nicholls Street is now a campus of the museum.
The name of the exhibit is “GU272 and Ascension Parish: The Jesuit and Episcopal Connection to Slavery.” That references 272 enslaved people who Georgetown University’s Jesuit founders sold to two Louisiana sugarcane planters in 1838 to pay off the university’s debts.
The Jesuit order formally apologized in 2017 to the descendants of the enslaved.
One of the planters was Henry Johnson, who was Louisiana governor from 1824 to 1828. Johnson co-founded the Episcopal Church of Ascension in Donaldsonville and donated the property where the church was built.
It’s that connection that inspired Hambrick to choose the church as the site of the exhibit.
A formal opening was held Saturday. Viewing of the exhibit, which includes permanent panels of information and virtual links to information from the Georgetown Slavery Archives, followed a program that included a reception. In the future, the exhibit will be available to see by appointment, by calling the River Road African American Museum at 225-474-5553.
Hambrick said the Georgetown archives include plenty of information about the 272 enslaved people, but local residents wouldn’t necessarily know where to find it.
“I thought, ‘We’re going to make an exhibit’” she said.
The project is funded by a grant from American Slavery’s Legacy Across Space and Time, a project of the nonprofit Social Science Research Council. It also got a grant from the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park of the National Park Service.
The former church that’s home to the exhibit was sold several years ago after it was decommissioned by the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana due to lack of members.
The building, which still has its original pews and pulpit, was purchased in 2017 by historic preservationist Darryl Gissel, a former chairman of the board of the River Road African American Museum.
“We had great concern that somebody would attempt to purchase it and move it. It needed to be preserved,” said Gissel, who is the chief administrative officer for Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome.
Historian and genealogist Karran Royal of New Orleans was the historian for the new exhibit. She and others founded the GU272 Descendants Association, and Royal served for several years as its executive director.
For the new permanent exhibit in Donaldsonville, Royal said she “went more deeply into family lines in Ascension Parish.”
“Working on the project helped me uncover so many details about these families,” she said.
Royal learned, for example, that the descendants of Henrietta Hill, a woman sold by the Jesuits and brought to Louisiana, include a founding dean of Southern University, a president of Grambling University and a Reconstruction-Era sheriff.
There is also an art component to the new “Jesuit and Episcopal Connection to Slavery” exhibit.
Before the old church building in Donaldsonville was sold, its original stained glass windows were removed and replaced with frosted glass.
But the brilliant colors are returning.
Louisiana artist Malaika Favorite, who is the resident artist of the River Road African American Museum, was commissioned to create art that has been printed onto acrylic panels and set into the frosted-glass windows, creating a beautiful stained-glass effect.
“They’re dedicated to the enslaved,” Hambrick said. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/272-enslaved-people-sold-to-pay-debts-exhibit-17250436.php | 2022-06-18T06:18:42Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/272-enslaved-people-sold-to-pay-debts-exhibit-17250436.php | false | 23 |

Dinesh Karthik made his India comeback more special with a magnificent half-century, that too, in a do-or-die game on Friday night. Batting against South Africa in the fourth T20I in Rajkot, the veteran wicket-keeper batter smashed 27-ball 55 with the help of 9 boundaries and 2 maximums. To everyone’s surprise, it was his first T20I half-century since his debut in the format in 2006, under the leadership of Virender Sehwag.
Karthik, along with Hardik Pandya, amplified the Indian innings after the top-order collapsed inside 10 overs. The duo took the game deeper, stitching a 63-run partnership for the fifth wicket. He brought his fifty in style, striking a maximum off the first ball of the 20th over. However, he couldn’t play till the last ball as he fell prey to Dwaine Pretorius, right after reaching the milestone. India posted 169 for 6, riding on the knocks of Pandya and Karthik.
Former India pacer Ashish Nehra lauded Karthik’s brilliant knock, stating that it’s never easy for senior players to make such comebacks.
While speaking on Cricbuzz, Nehra said his former teammate proved that he is certainly a dependable batter in this format.
“It’s never easy for a senior player to make such a comeback. He did start off well in the series but was in search of a big knock. While he had been scoring impactful runs, it was good to see him bat at No. 6 today and score a half-century. You expect this from an experienced player,” Nehra told Cricbuzz.
“He was chosen as a finisher, but he also knows how to steady the ship when needed. The team management will be very happy with his performance,” he added.
In pursuit of a 170-run target, the visitors were restricted to 87/9, with skipper Temba Bavuma getting retired hurt. Eventually, it was the lowest T20I total for South Africa in the history of the game.
With India’s bowlers hitting hard lengths consistently, seamers finding variable bounce and spinners keeping things tight while getting a hint of turn, it was difficult for South Africa to chase 170. Pacer Avesh Khan registered career-best figures of 4 for 18 in 4 overs while Yuzvendra Chahal picked up 2 wickets, handing India a series-levelling 82-run win.

Further details of the incident are awaited.
Before this, a bank manager, identified as Vijay Kumar, was shot dead outside his office by terrorists in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.

There was clearly something going on between Britney and actor Colin Farrell in 2003, when they were seen kissing at the premiere of his film The Recruit, where they also walked the red carpet.
However, he shrugged the affectionate display off and said he was 'just a 26-year-old guy who's single and having a good time.'
While their fling may only have lasted a week, Farrell memorialized their relationship by sending Spears a shirt that read: 'I slept with Colin Farrell and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.'

Columbus Short (2003)
Britney dated within her own organization when she hooked up with her backup dance Columbus Short in 2003.

Jason Alexander (2004)
Britney's first (brief) marriage was to Jason Alexander, who had been her friend since childhood. He ended up crashing her wedding to Sam on the morning of the nuptials.
The couple tied the knot on a whim in the early morning hours on January 3, 2004 during a ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were both 22 years old at the time.
Their marriage was annulled 55 hours later, which Alexander later claimed was forced by Britney’s mother, Lynne, and Britney’s management. Following the annulment, Spears said in an interview: 'It was me being silly, being rebellious.'

Yet 18 years after their union it seems Alexander hasn't lost his feelings for Spears, as just hours before she was was due to marry her long-term partner Sam Asghari, 28, at her home Alexander broke onto the premises to crash the wedding.
Britney's first husband Jason Alexander has been booked in to jail after dramatically livestreaming himself crashing her wedding at her Thousand Oaks mansion.
Jason is now in the custody of the Ventura Sheriff's Department having been charged with trespassing, vandalism and two batteries after a couple of altercations with Britney's security guards.
Minutes before he was apprehended, Alexander managed to broadcast himself on Instagram as he ran through hillside trails, as he approached the rear of Spears' home.
Chaos: While the celebrity guests seemed in good spirits, the wedding got off to fraught start when Britney's ex-husband Jason Alexander was arrested for trespassing
The 40-year-old was easily able to scale a fence, descend a rocky hillside and slip inside the wedding venue, all-the-while telling security exactly who he was, and why he was there - just hours before the fairytale ceremony got underway.
Alexander's arrest is the third arrest in 13 months. Police sources revealed he also has a felony warrant for larceny in another county.
He was last in police custody for driving under the influence in January 2021 and breaking security protocols at an airport in August. Alexander was also arrested previously for violating an order of protection and stalking an unidentified woman in December 2021.
On Thursday night, Spears' attorney revealed he was 'absolutely livid' after Alexander crashed the pop star's wedding venue and demanded he be locked up.
Kevin Federline (2004–2007)
The songstress' next relationship also resulted in a marriage.
Britney and Kevin Federline, a backup dancer, would go on to share her two sons: Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15.
The couple divorced in 2007, and it was her struggles with custody that factored into the creation of her conservatorship.
In January 2008, she locked herself in a bathroom with the children when it was time to return them to their father. The police were subsequently called, and Spears was put on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Following their fling, Rotem shocked with a graphic kiss and tell interview, crudely announcing 'I f**ked Britney wheelbarrow style - It was tractor style.'
Reflecting on their union, Rotem later said: 'It was kind of a stupid phase I was going through, where I wouldn’t say that I was being a bad person but I would say that I was being not very genuine to who I am and what it is that I’m supposed to do.'
Passing through: Britney hit the dating scene quickly following her divorce when she got together with the music producer J. R. Rotem, though the relationship appears to have been short-lived
Isaac Cohen (2007)

At the time, her fans noted that Cohen noted only looked like her ex-husband Kevin, but he even favored similar clothing to the dancer.
Their breakup was described as 'amicable,' and Cohen later said of their relationship: 'By the time I met Britney she was burnt out. She knew she had been drinking and partying as a way to try to banish the bad stuff from her life.
'Far from the trashy drunk, I saw a very shy, sweet girl who was just desperately sad about what had happened with her marriage.'
Lookalike: In the same year as her fling with Rotem, Spears began dating male model Isaac Cohen. At the time, her fans noted that Cohen noted only looked like her ex-husband K Fed, but he even favored similar clothing to the dancer

Jason Trawick (2009–2013)

She met Sam in 2016 when he appeared in her Slumber Party music video, and the two quickly hit it off after that.
They went Instagram official in January 2017, and Sam was by her side amid the battle to end her long-running conservatorship.
Spears announced their engagement on September 12, 2021, and she followed the good news up by having her conservatorship terminated in November of that year.
In April 2022, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together, but Britney revealed just a month later that she had suffered a miscarriage.

Updated June 16, 2022 at 9:54 PM ET
When singer-songwriter Lizzo's new single, "Grrrls," sparked a heated online discussion over the weekend about ableist language, Black disabled activist Vilissa Thompson noticed that the conversations were dominated by certain people within the disability community.
White disabled people in the U.S. and the U.K. were calling out the singer for using the word "spaz," which many consider an ableist slur. Buried among these critiques, however, was the perspective of Black disabled people, who raised points about the need for cultural nuance and an intersectional lens to the situation.
"The erasure of Black disabled people, when it comes to a Black entertainer, has been very prominent throughout this whole thing," Thompson, a licensed master social worker, told NPR.
Language has history, and it holds different weight to different communities
The term "spaz" originates from the term "spastic," which has historically been used to describe people with spastic paralysis or cerebral palsy. Often used in a derogatory way to describe people with disabilities, "spaz" or "spaz out" has also been used to refer to someone losing physical control or simply acting "weird" or "uncool."
In online conversations, white disabled people in the U.S. and the U.K were speaking about their experiences with the word. Meanwhile, Black people in the U.S. and the U.K. pointed out how the word, which some say is a part of African American Vernacular English, is used differently by Black people within their countries. Thompson wished there were an amplification of Black disabled people who understand the nuances of those who use the word and those who are reclaiming it.
She pointed out that language evolves and that if the history of the word is offensive or has been used to oppress a particular group, it's on each person to unlearn it.
"The onus is on us to not just unlearn but also update and improve the way that we communicate with each other, so that our words are intentionally used, so that they don't cause unintentional harm," Thompson said.
Thompson believes that the way people go about critiquing others is very important. In reading the discussions online, she said she noticed they perpetuated anti-Blackness and misogynoir, or misogyny directed at Black women.
She noted that rather than fostering an open dialogue about ableist language and engaging in a conversation with Lizzo about it, the critiques piled on and missed the mark.
"I was shocked but not surprised by the way that white disabled people, especially those who claim to be in solidarity with Black disabled people, engaged in the conversation. You are not in solidarity with us if your behavior during this time in addressing Lizzo can be read as problematic [and] offensive," Thompson said.
Holding people accountable is important but so is recognizing the racial dynamics at play
Criticism is much harsher for Black people with high profiles, particularly if they are not disabled and stumble when it comes to disability and language, Thompson added. For example, when white musicians use ableist language in their songs, they may receive some backlash but not the same visceral reaction that Black people do, Thompson said.
"I'm always particular about how white people and non-Black people of color engage with Black women who look a certain way. [Lizzo is] unintentionally a polarizing figure ... because she has the audacity to be comfortable in her skin as a fat Black woman. If she does something that people don't like, the pile-ons feel exacerbated, and at times unnecessarily, when it comes to her," she said.
Lizzo released a statement on Monday acknowledging the "harmful word" in her song and announcing a rerecorded version of the song without the slur in it. "I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)," she wrote in her statement.
Shortly after the post and the song's rerelease, disabled people praised Lizzo for being so receptive and for responding well to the community's feedback.
Thompson noted, however, that she was not surprised that Lizzo responded the way that she did. Having done work in Black progressive spaces, Thompson has seen Black people who are not versed in disability but who actively work to do better. They know the importance of understanding when they've messed up and being inclusive to everybody, she said.
"Grace and room for correction are typically not given [to Black people]. The double standard of inconsistent reactions is profound. They don't trust Black people to do the right thing," she said.

BEVERLY, Mass. (AP) — An enslaved Black man, the tall tale he inspired and the beach that now bears his name are the focus of new efforts to recognize the role of slavery along Massachusetts' picturesque North Shore.
As the story goes, Robin Mingo was promised freedom by his white master if the tide ever receded enough for him to walk out onto a rocky outcropping off what is now known as Mingo Beach. Depending on the telling, Mingo either completed the challenge and was emancipated, drowned tragically or lived out his days in bondage without ever seeing the rare tidal event.
“It shows how much power slave owners had over their slaves,” said Katerina Pintone, a 19-year-old rising sophomore at Endicott College, where Mingo Beach is located. “That one man could have this much control over another man’s life.”
This past semester, Pintone and other Endicott students researched the local legend as part of a public history course and suggested ways to memorialize Mingo and his namesake beach. Their ideas ranged from a heritage trail to a smartphone app and even a boat tour highlighting Mingo’s story and the popular tourist region’s slave ties.
Professor Elizabeth Matelski, who taught the course, is also doing research for a book on Mingo and working with other historians on a project mapping North Shore locations like Mingo Beach that are historically significant to people of color. Meanwhile Endicott, a private coed school, says it's in discussions with city officials to formally register the beach as a historic landmark.
Matelski hopes the efforts spark broader discussions about the often overlooked role of slavery in New England.
“Most people who walk by that particular stretch of beach have absolutely no idea about this history,” she said.
Abby Battis, an associate director at Historic Beverly, the city’s historical society, agreed. Battis said she never heard Mingo’s story growing up in the seaside city, which is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors — Salem, site of the infamous witch trials, and Gloucester, the historic fishing port.
“We need to stop telling the old, dead white guy stories,” she said. “There’s so much more to Beverly’s history.”
The historical society is doing its part to create a fuller picture of the city’s role in slavery, Battis added. The organization launched a virtual exhibit in 2019 featuring the stories of those enslaved in Beverly, a coastal city about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Boston that dates to the 1600s.
Mingo is not among those highlighted in “ Set at Liberty,” but the society has identified at least 100 enslaved people and more than 200 local ships involved in the slave trade as part of its ongoing work.
It’s a “common myth” that slavery either never existed or was inherently different in New England than other places, says Beth Bower, a local historian on the board of Historic Beverly.
Historical records show New Englanders clearly imported enslaved Africans for all the tasks that made the young colony possible, from farming and fishing to building ships, she said.
And while history credits Massachusetts with being among the first states to abolish slavery in 1783, there is growing evidence that slavery persisted in the state into the early 1800s before gradually disappearing, Bower said.
President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but it took more than two years for Black slaves in Galveston, Texas to receive word of their freedom. That day, June 19, 1865, is now known as Juneteenth, which is being celebrated as an official federal holiday for the first time Sunday.
Matelski said she first heard of Mingo’s tale in the summer of 2020, during the height of the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
A Michigan native, she said she was immediately struck by the story's potential to speak to the present as the nation reckons with its racist past.
Mingo’s tale is all the more significant considering he was married to a free Indigenous woman, and his enslaver descended from the original founders of Beverly, Matelski said.
“It’s so deeply rooted in Beverly history and in the New England experience,” she said. “There’s just a lot of different threads happening there.”
Part of Matelski’s focus going forward will be separating myth from fact.
In the most popular telling, for example, Mingo achieves his feat and earns his emancipation, only to die later that year.
But local records suggest the real-life Mingo lived into his 80s, was baptized, raised a daughter and even acquired land in town before dying in 1748.
Matelski believes the Mingo legend has its roots in the stories abolitionists popularized in order to underscore the “casual cruelty” of the slave industry they fiercely opposed.
Such slave narratives typically centered on the harsh reality of southern plantation life and the extraordinary perils some slaves endured to escape to freedom, making Mingo’s tale a uniquely New England take on the genre, she said.
“What we know right now is a puzzle piece,” Matelski said. “As a historian, you’re like a cold case detective, trying to create as complete a picture as you can of this really important story that hasn’t been told.” | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4574091 | 2022-06-18T06:44:24Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4574091 | true | 37 |

This Is the County in the Rapid City, SD Metro Area With the Most COVID-19
There have been 84,292,700 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date - and that number continues to grow.
In the Rapid City metropolitan area, located in South Dakota, a total of 42,711 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 29,397 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area -- above the national rate of 25,764 cases per 100,000 people.
The higher than average per capita COVID-19 infection rate across Rapid City is being driven by a high concentration of the virus in one area in particular.

So far, there have been a total of 33,456 confirmed infections in Pennington County, or 30,611 for every 100,000 people.
Not only does Pennington County have the most COVID-19 infections per capita in the Rapid City area, it also has more deaths attributable to the virus per capita than the metro area as a whole.

The GAA community in Tyrone and beyond has been plunged into mourning following the news that hurling star Damian Casey has died in a tragic accident in Spain, aged 28.
It is understood he was in Spain attending the wedding of a friend when it is believed that he had an accident at a pool. The wedding, which was due to take place today (Saturday) has been cancelled.
Damian Casey was the talisman of the Tyrone side who clinched Nickey Rackard Cup honours with a 1-21 to 0-19 victory over Roscommon in Croke Park.
The Dungannon native was captain of the Red Hands when they lost out to Mayo in last year’s Rackard Cup decider, but his stunning 0-14 haul ensured Tyrone won the All-Ireland title this season.
The Eoghan Ruadh ace played over 100 times at inter-county level since making his debut back in 2012. Since then, he maintained a remarkable feat of individual brilliance by starting and scoring in every single game Tyrone senior hurlers have played over the last 10 years.
Last night, Tyrone GAA issued a statement which read: "Heartbreak and grief can come in many forms but are especially cruel when brought about by the sudden death of someone young, talented, outgoing and in the prime of life
"Accordingly, Gaelic Tyrone is totally shaken by the news of the tragic death of Damian Casey, a supreme hurler just now at the peak of his powers."
Tyrone GAA chairman Michael Kerr added: "This breaking news is beyond belief.
“Someone who brought honour, delight and simple, straightforward gladness to our whole County, and far beyond, is gone and it’s so hard to take in.
“There are very difficult days ahead for Sean, Susan, Louise and Catherine, for Damian’s wider family circle and many friends and associates, for his team-mates and for the Gaels of Dungannon and Tyrone.
“Our deepest sympathy goes to them, and our focus must now be on providing the support and comfort that will be so badly needed."
Over the last decade, Damian Casey has been one of the most prolific hurlers in Ireland, notching over 1,000 points between League and Championship games. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/gaa/hurling/tributes-pour-tyrone-hurler-damian-27266636 | 2022-06-18T07:36:04Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/gaa/hurling/tributes-pour-tyrone-hurler-damian-27266636 | true | 1 |

Video of What Maxine Waters' Did with Her Face Behind Pelosi Goes Viral
It might have been House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s news conference, but it was Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters who stole the show.
A 15-second clip of Pelosi speaking at the Summit of the Americas conference in Los Angeles on Friday — with the congresswoman from California standing nearly motionless behind her — went viral on Tuesday.
In the clip, Waters stared straight into the camera, expressionless. She appeared to be totally disengaged from what the speaker was saying.
At the 11-second mark, she blinked and averted her gaze from the camera.
What’s wrong with Mad Maxine 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/d5btZZtn6j
— Real Mac Report (@RealMacReport) June 14, 2022
The clip was taken from a 34-minute video in which each member of the Democratic congressional delegation said a few words.
When Waters was introduced, she read from a prepared statement for two minutes, and nothing seemed amiss.
Still, the shorter clip understandably drew an outsize response on social media.
You okay @RepMaxineWaters? pic.twitter.com/ekL0Bbm4wL

🐸🤔 Is it just me or do both of these treasonous, corrupt politicians Pelosi and Maxine Waters look like fakes, masked doubles, clones or whatever the heck they are. They’re definitely not themselves. It’s so obvious to me. They’re kind of frightening to look at.🍿 pic.twitter.com/QGa5jUJLGr

At any rate, Waters’ demeanor sure was peculiar.
What was going on with the congresswoman?
KCBS-TV reported Tuesday morning that she had tested positive for COVID-19. She might have been feeling the onset of the virus four days earlier.
Or perhaps Waters, who will turn 84 this summer, was simply exhausted. What octagenarian wouldn’t be tired after attending a large political conference that required a trip across the country?
Which raises the question: Why are there so many octogenarians serving in Congress, particularly in positions of leadership?
Pelosi is 82. Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the majority leader, celebrated his 83rd birthday on Tuesday, and the majority whip, Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, will turn 82 next month.
The oldest Democratic representatives include Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas, 86, Bill Pascrell of New Jersey, 85, and Grace Napolitano of California, 85.
The oldest Republican serving in the House is Hal Rogers of Kentucky, age 84.
On the Senate side, Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California will turn 89 next week. Among Republicans, the oldest members include Chuck Grassley of Iowa, 88, Richard Shelby of Alabama, 87, and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, 87.
In comparison, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky seems a spring chicken at 80.
President Joe Biden will turn 80 in November, but he has given many indications he is no longer fit to lead the country.
While the viral clip of Waters was singled out for how strange it was, the ability of these octogenarians to serve the country effectively is a legitimate question.
Should there be a maximum age limit for members of Congress?
According to a YouGov poll released in January, the majority of Americans think so.
How about you?
CORRECTION, June 15, 2022: An earlier version of this article included an incorrect reference to the state Sen. Chuck Grassley represents.

Wasserman Boxing heads to M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England on Friday night for Nathan Gorman vs. Tomas Salek and Josh Kelly vs Peter Kramer, Live on Channel 5.
Special women’s flyweight bout between the popular and undefeated prospect Chloe Watson and Fara El Bousairi will open the main televised broadcast.
Heavyweight contender Nathan Gorman (18-1, 12 KOs) is ready to continue his journey to title contention with a fight against Czech fighter Tomas Salek (17-3, 13 KOs) for the IBF international heavyweight belt.
Gorman, who is the cousin of undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, suffered his first professional defeat in 2019 when he was knocked out by fellow British KO artist Daniel Dubois.
His cousin Tyson Fury gave him words of motivation after his loss to Dubois and told him to keep his head up and not let one loss bring him down, and that it was a learning experience.
‘Pretty Boy’ Josh Kelly (10-1-1, 6 KOs) was once a highly touted welterweight prospect, but a few setbacks including a TKO defeat to Armenian David Avanesyan and a draw to American Ray Robinson pushed him away from the limelight.
A lack off focus is what many critics have said about Kelly and discipline is what he will need if he wants to be serious in the sport.
Tonight Kelly will continue to improve his record and show the world that he will live up to his potential as he takes on Peter Kramer (12-5-3, 8 KOs) in a light middleweight co-feature.
Tonight’s event is promoted by Wasserman Boxing and televised by Channel 5 in the UK.

Calvin Kattar's Planning Post-Fight Austin BBQ Feast After UFC Fight W/ Josh Emmett
UFC's Calvin Kattar Planning Post-Fight BBQ Sesh ... After Fight In Austin
6/18/2022 12:05 AM PT
Calvin Kattar's looking forward to Saturday night -- not just because he's headlining a major UFC card -- the MMA star's planning to hit up a delicious BBQ restaurant right after his fight.
"Excited to be out here. Texas is awesome," Kattar told TMZ Sports ... "Looking forward to getting some barbeque after the fight."
Kattar, the 34-year-old, #4 ranked UFC featherweight is one half of the Fight Night card Saturday night in Austin ... where he'll take on 37-year-old title contender Josh Emmett.
The featherweight weight limit is 145 pounds ... very light for a muscular, 5'11" fighter like Calvin.
So, no brisket before the weigh-in and fight (easier said than done in a place like Texas) -- but that doesn't mean his friends aren't indulging in the local fare -- something you'd think Kattar would NOT want his boys to do in front of him while he's cutting weight.
But, Calvin -- who has wins over Giga Chikadze, Dan Ige, and Jeremy Stephens -- isn't just a savage in Octagon.
"I have them bring [BBQ] home, eat it in front of me, I like to smell it. I'm sick, man. I like to watch them enjoy themselves. You know, we're only out here for so long, so if I can't take it in, I want them to."
(Calvin's clearly an awesome friend)
As for where a win leaves him in the division, Kattar isn't sure ... but he knows a win continues the momentum in the right direction.
"It's always one step closer with a win, that's all I know."
CK added ... "That's out of my control. Only thing that is in my control is the fight Saturday night and that's where my focus will be."
We also talked to Emmett (more fighting talk, less food). Josh is ranked 7 in the division ... and believes an (impressive) win could set him up for a title shot against either Alex Volkanovski or Max Holloway.
Both men are super confident they're winning this fight ... only one can be right. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/18/calvin-kattar-planning-post-fight-austin-bbq-feast-ufc-fight-josh-emmett/ | 2022-06-18T08:00:48Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/18/calvin-kattar-planning-post-fight-austin-bbq-feast-ufc-fight-josh-emmett/ | true | 1 |
Beijing [China], June 18 (ANI): China reported 11 locally transmitted confirmed COVID-19 cases, including five in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, four in Liaoning, and one each in Beijing and Shanghai in the past 24 hours, according to the National Health Commission's report Saturday.
Shanghai reported one confirmed locally transmitted COVID-19 case and six local asymptomatic cases. While Beijing reported one confirmed locally transmitted COVID-19 case and eight local asymptomatic cases on Friday, Xinhua News Agency reported citing the municipal health commission.A total of 72 COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospitals after recovery on the Chinese mainland, the National Health Commission said in its Saturday report.

As of Friday, no COVID death has been reported, after which the mainland's total COVID-19 deaths stood at 5,226.
Meanwhile, the authorities in China's capital have warned that a COVID-19 surge due to the bar-related outbreaks was critical and the city is gripped by the most serious outbreak since the pandemic began.

Due to the latest outbreak in Beijing, millions of people are facing mandatory testing and thousands are under targeted lockdowns, just days after the city started to lift widespread curbs that had run for more than a month to tackle a broader outbreak since late April.
The authorities announced over the weekend a "ferocious" COVID-19 outbreak linked to the Heaven Supermarket Bar, which had only just re-opened after coronavirus curbs were eased last week.
A Beijing health official last week said that the outbreak that started at a bar in Beijing is at a rapidly spreading stage and the transmission risk remains high, as per Global Times.More cases are expected to be discovered among visitors to the bar and their close contacts, deputy director of Beijing disease control and prevention center Liu Xiaofeng said during a press conference.
The coronavirus outbreak has raised new worries about the outlook for the world's second-largest economy.
The economic impact of the zero-COVID strategy has also dented income. Fiscal revenue fell 4.8 per cent on the year for the four months through April, according to the Finance Ministry, owing mainly to tax refunds aimed at supporting businesses. (ANI)

It's well established that regular exercise benefits our bodies, not least in protecting against obesity, but scientists are continuing to look more closely at why this happens on a molecular level.
In a new study, scientists put mice on intense treadmill workouts and analyzed how the chemicals in the cells of the animals then began to change over time. They found the appearance of a metabolite called Lac-Phe (N-lactoyl-phenylalanine), synthesized from lactate and phenylalanine.
Phenylalanine is an amino acid that combines to make proteins, and you might be familiar with lactate: It is produced by the body after strenuous exercise and causes the post-workout burning sensation that gets felt in the muscles.
The study authors think they've found an important biological pathway opened up by exercise, which then has an impact on the rest of the body – specifically in the level of appetite and the amount of food taken in.
Further tests confirmed these results. Researchers gave high doses of Lac-Phe to mice on a high-fat diet, resulting in the mice eating about half as much over the next 12 hours compared to a group of control mice. Meanwhile, the movement and energy expenditure of the animals remained unchanged.
Over a period of 10 days, the Lac-Phe doses led to a drop in food intake, a resulting drop in body weight, and improved glucose tolerance in the mice. Those are positive results when thinking about ways to combat obesity and obesity-related disease.
There were some caveats, though. The differences in appetite suppression caused by Lac-Phe were only noticeable after exercise and in mice on a high-fat diet. The same effects weren't seen in more sedentary mice fed normally.
The scientists also looked at the effects of exercise in humans and racehorses, finding elevated levels of Lac-Phe here, too, most notably after sprinting in people. However, the knock-on effects weren't looked into, and more research will be needed to see if these results translate fully into human beings.
By shedding more light on the molecular responses to physical activity, the findings of the study will help in a number of areas of research, including treatments.
There's likely a lot more to discover. The researchers note that as Lac-Phe is produced in multiple cell types in mice, it's likely that it's not just the muscles in the body that know when we're working out.
"Future work uncovering the downstream molecular and cellular mediators of Lac-Phe action in the brain may provide new therapeutic opportunities to capture the cardiometabolic benefits of physical activity for human health," write the researchers.
The research has been published in Nature. | https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-discover-a-new-molecular-link-between-exercise-and-hunger | 2022-06-18T08:20:27Z | https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-discover-a-new-molecular-link-between-exercise-and-hunger | true | 1 |

National Sushi Day
How to recreate your favourite Japanese dishes at home
From flower-shaped sushi to an Asian-inspired Sunday roast, Hannah Twiggs brings you six recipes from Japan Centre as the iconic London food hall celebrates its 46th anniversary
In 1976, a young Tak Tokumine started selling Japanese books in London. At first, his customers were expats longing for a taste of home, which even he had struggled to find since emigrating to the UK to be with his then girlfriend.
He opened the first Japan Centre on Warwick Street, and by 1984 had moved to Soho and expanded to include an Asian supermarket and curry bar, offering ingredients and dishes to Londoners that had thus far been largely undiscovered. As the appetite for Japanese and Asian culture and cuisine in London was going, another move in 1994 to Piccadilly would see the opening of his first standalone restaurant Toku, a precursor to today’s popular Shoryu Ramen restaurants.
Fast forwards 46 years and the chain is still trailblazing the familiarisation of Japanese food in the UK. From humble beginnings as a small bookstore to a chain of authentic ramen bars and food halls, Japan Centre has evolved into a much adored institution over the years, and now boasts several sites feeding and inspiring people across London, an online shop so everyone can try authentic ingredients, and a chain of popular ramen bars.
To celebrate the milestone, here is a guide to making some of our favourite Japan Centre recipes art home. It’s not all sushi and sashimi (though there are some excellent recipes for hand-rolled sushi and flower-shaped rolls here), there’s the hugely popular karaage (Japanese fried chicken), an Asian-inspired Sunday roast, and the matcha brownies of our dreams.
Temaki zushi (hand-rolled sushi)
Bring a touch of elegance to your next batch of sushi with this recipe. These cone-shaped sushi rolls look fancy, but actually they are easy to make, taste great, and can contain any fillings you desire. Why not also try fillings such as spicy beef, lettuce and mayonnaise, teriyaki chicken, and salmon and avocado?
Ingredients
200g sushi rice
2 sheets nori seaweed
50ml sushi vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
Suggested fillings:
Tinned tuna with mayonnaise
Tuna
Salmon
Tamagoyaki omelette
Avocado
Seafood sticks
Prawns
Cucumber
Optional seasonings:
Mayonnaise
White sesame
Black sesame
Wasabi
Yuzu kosho pepper
Method
1. After cooking 200g of rice, mix with 50ml of sushi vinegar and leave to cool before using.
2. Prepare your fillings in thin 10cm strips and cut the nori seaweed sheets in half.
3. On the rough side of 1 piece of nori spread your sushi rice so that it covers the left half of it. You do not need to spread rice right to the edges.
4. If you’d like, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the rice for extra flavour.
5. Place the sheet of nori seaweed horizontally in your left hand (you can do this from the beginning but may find it easier after the rice has been spread).
6. Start adding any ingredients in the centre on top of the rice. You can use any combination, but salmon and avocado often compliment each other well.
7. Now to roll the temaki. First fold in the filled side from the left over the filling. Next roll the plain side of nori seaweed in from the right, making a cone with your hands. Secure the end of the roll with a pressed piece of moist rice taken from the filling.
8. Your temaki zushi is now ready to eat, enjoy.
Hina matsuri flower sushi
These cute flower-shaped sushi rolls are made using all natural ingredients, with some plum vinegar, nori seaweed, and seasoned sushi rice. These sushi rolls are a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Enjoy these as part of a main meal, or add to a bento lunchbox
Ingredients
300g white Japanese sushi rice
125g white Japanese sushi rice with plum seasoning
Nori seaweed
Carrot
Ham
Steamed spinach
Method
1. Let’s start by making our sushi rice. If you’ve not cooked sushi rice before, follow our recipe. To make the pink sushi that will form our petals mix 125g of your rice with plum seasoning instead of sushi vinegar.
2. Next up, cut your sheet of nori seaweed into 4 pieces across. You’ll need to cut a strip of equal width from another nori sheet to have enough so we can make 5 petals.
3. With lightly damp hands, place one of your nori strips on the sushi mat, then carefully lay some ham on top. Spoon on 25g of the plum sushi rice down the middle, then roll up the nori over the sides and pinch the rice to make a petal shape. There will be a little gap down the narrower side of each petal where the nori doesn’t quite meet. Repeat with the other four nori strips to make five petals in total.
4. Cut a strip of carrot the same length as your nori to go in the middle, try to make it as round as possible as this will form the centre of our flower. Next, holding the sushi mat in one hand carefully position you first petal in the middle, add another petal to the left and right, then place the carrot in the middle. Add the final 2 petals, making sure all the petals are turned with the narrowest part towards the centre.
5. Unwrap the sushi mat and very carefully place spinach in gaps around the outside of the petals, these will form the leaves.
6. Get a big piece of nori and place it on your sushi mat. Add 250g of sushi rice on top, leaving a 2cm gap at the top and bottom of the nori, and place your petal bundle in the middle width wise across the nori.
7. Carefully, using the sushi mat, roll up the outer nori around the flower shape, until you get to the gaps with no rice. Add the final 50g of rice, gently pushing it down, then fold over the last pieces of nori. Push down on the nori using the sushi mat to seal it in place, then gently roll and shape the finished sushi roll to get it nice and round.
8. Slice into pieces about a thumb’s width in thickness and serve.
Karaage Japanese fried chicken
With karaage chicken by your side, you’ll never want to eat takeaway chicken again. Inspired by Chinese fried chicken recipes, karaage is a delicious izakaya or bento box favourite, comprised of crunchy, deep fried pieces of marinated chicken served with a liberal squeeze of lemon juice or a side pot of kewpie mayonnaise. Perfect eaten hot or cold, this simple recipe is quick to make and produces fantastic results. Great for parties!
Ingredients
300g boneless skin-on chicken thighs
For the marinade:
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking sake
5g fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
To fry:
¼ cup katakuriko potato starch, to coat cooking oil, for frying
To serve:
Japanese mayonnaise lemon wedges
Method
1. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces, leaving a little skin/fat on for extra crispiness.
2. Add the ginger, garlic, soy sauce and cooking sake to a bowl and mix until combined. Add the chicken, coat well, and allow to marinade for 30 minutes.
3. Drain any excess liquid from the chicken and add your katakuriko potato starch. Mix until the pieces are fully coated.
4. Heat some cooking oil in a pan to around 180°C and test the temperature by dropping in some flour (if it sizzles on impact, the oil is hot enough). Fry 3-4 pieces at a time for 3-4 minutes until they are deep golden brown colour, then remove and allow to drain on a wire rack or kitchen roll.
5. Serve hot or cold with some lemon wedges and a squeeze of Japanese mayonnaise.
Sake marinated lamb rump with crispy noodles
Enjoy the full flavour of sake as an ingredient in cooking with this sake marinated lamb rump and crispy noodles recipe. This hearty dish involves marinating a lamb rump in sake to tenderise the meat and enhance the flavour. Served with an umami-rich aubergine and miso puree and crispy sesame soba noodles, it would make for an exquisite Sunday lunch.
Ingredients
For the lamb:
1 lamp rump, fat scored
2 spring onions, chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced
3 tbsp of tamari 200ml of sake, (suggested to use gekkeikan gensen sozai junmai)
For the aubergine and miso purée:
1 aubergine
1 tbsp of red miso
1 tbsp of caster sugar
2 tbsp of tamari
For the crispy sesame soba noodles:
200g of soba noodles, skinny soba somen preferred
1 tbsp of sunflower oil
1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp of sesame seeds
To serve:
Seaweed, aonori powdered
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Method
1. Put the lamb into a large sandwich bag and add all the marinade ingredients. Seal the bag and squidge everything together, so the lamb is fully and evenly coated. Pop the bag in the fridge and leave to marinate overnight or for up to 24 hours.
2. To make the aubergine and miso purée, press a barbecue skewer through an aubergine and place it directly over a gas hob ring. Turn the aubergine every now and then until the skin has charred and blackened all over. Scoop out the flesh and discard the burnt skin.
3. Combine the miso, sugar and tamari in a small saucepan over a gentle heat and whisk until the miso and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the aubergine pulp. Use a stick blender to blitz the mixture into a smooth purée. Set aside to reheat just before serving.
4. Preheat the oven to the hottest setting.
5. Brush off most of the excess marinade and place the lamb on a baking tray, fat side up. Roast for 5 minutes, before turning the heat down to 200C/gas mark 6 and roast for a further 10-15 minutes, depending on how pink you like your meat. Leave the lamb to rest tented with foil.
6. To make the noodles, simply boil them in salted water according to the packet’s instructions, drain and toss in the oil and sesame seeds. Decant the oiled noodles into a hot wok or frying pan over a medium to high heat and use a fork or chopsticks to turn the noodles over until evenly browned and crispy.
7. To plate up, slice the lamb and place it on a smear of aubergine and miso purée and scatter over some finely sliced spring onions. Serve alongside the crispy sesame soba noodles and dust over the seaweed powder.

Used in a variety of traditional and modern dishes and adept at absorbing flavours, shirataki noodles have a chewy texture making them perfect for soups, salads or stir-fries, and they are perfect for this recipe because they contain no calories. Serve this tasty noodle salad as an entrée or side dish and let it fill you up.
Ingredients
1 packet shirataki noodles
50g cooked ham
⅓ cucumber
1 small carrot

1. Begin by grabbing a bowl and mixing all the sauce ingredients together with a fork. You can change the quantity of karashi mustard or gochujang to adjust the spiciness.
2. Next, open the shirataki packet and drain the shirataki noodles in a colander. Rinse them with clean water a couple of times before boiling them in a pan of water for a few minutes.
3. While your shirataki are boiling, peel and cut the carrot. De-seed and cut the cucumber and ham into strips so they become easier to mix with the shirataki and chop the cherry tomatoes into segments.
4. Once your noodles are ready, drain them in the colander and let them cool down for a few minutes. Cut them into three equal lengths on a cutting board so they are easier to eat.
5. Taking a salad bowl mix the shirataki and vegetables together. Finally, coat with the sauce and mix again. You can serve your shirataki salad as a starter for 2 or a main for 1.

Welcome back to How I Made It, Metro.co.uk’s weekly career journey series.
This week, we’re looking at the alternative music industry from the perspective of 23-year-old Yasmine Summan, a West Bromwich-based journalist, social media manager, podcaster, and TikTok creator.
They’ve been involved in the alternate music scene for a number of years, starting their journey as a YouTuber dedicated to all things emo music, before pivoting to TikTok, social media management, and journalism.
After graduating from their journalism degree at Coventry University, Yasmine worked as a freelance journalist — sharing their alternative music expertise and writing on their experiences as a non-binary person of colour in a white male-dominated music industry — for a range of outlets including NME, Dazed, Loudwire, Metal Hammer, and Distorted Sound Magazine. They also worked as a presenter for Caliber TV, interviewing alternative music talent for their YouTube audience of over 100,000.
But most recently, Yasmine has history, along with radio presenter Sophie K, for their groundbreaking podcast: On Wednesdays We Wear Black. Aiming to create a space for underrepresented voices in the alternative music industry, the show recently won the Heavy Music Award for ‘Best Podcast’.
While working on location at Download Festival, Yasmine to spoke to us about how they made it.
Hi Yasmine — congratulations on your podcast’s recent award! Tell us more about how the podcast started, and what you aimed to do with it.
Sophie is the genius mind behind it all, I can’t even begin to take credit. She came to me with this project because she’s always looking to champion more BIPOC/LGBTQ+ minority genders in alternative music spaces — it’s the thing I love most about her.
The initial concept was born from our own feeling of not being heard. The great thing about our podcast is our voices and experiences touch a wide variety of people.
Sophie speaks as a Black women who’s had to fight to secure respect in her line of work, and I speak from the experience of a South Asian non-binary person and navigating that.
We are the kids no one would sit with, we ate lunch in the bathroom alone. We listened to the “scary” heavy music that people thought was weird.
Can you sum up your day-to-day job in one sentence?
Without being clichè, every day is always something new. Being an independent podcast with no extra help or funding, we both do as much as humanly possible. Social media management, episode recording and production, networking and organising events, creating merch and then packaging and sending out that merch. We are a unit.
What would you say has been the biggest personal achievement for you so far?
People might find it silly but it was such a milestone for me. After writing an exposé for Refinery29 about how emo and other alternative subcultures have very regressive ideas toward race and general beauty standards, that became a top ranking search result for the word ’emo’. When I was younger I remember searching emo and all I’d see were white faces.
All of these people who I desperately wanted to be like and I would — no, could – never achieve the ‘staple’ emo look because from the pin straight Caucasian hair, small button nose, and pale skin look to emo, none of that was achievable for a 14-year-old acne ridden Aouth Asian.
Emo is diversifying its ideals of what ‘isn’t’ and ‘is’ the look of emo, and I’m so proud to be able to say that I helped, in some way, shift those ideas.
What has been the most challenging part of your role and why?
The most challenging part about my own personal job [a social media manager for a leading alternative music magazine] is probably dealing with backlash. Internet circles always seem to circle in on minorities for their mistakes in contrast to white cisgendered men.
I feel like I could spell someone’s name wrong and be cancelled forever, but men get away with murder. I digress… it’s something I’ve learnt to shrug off.
If the tirade of chronically online trolls want to criticise every single thing I say or do, then let them. I know my intentions are good and that I’m trying to actually make a difference instead of screaming on Twitter and doing nothing.
As you’ve mentioned on Twitter, sexism is a big problem in the music industry. How do you deal with it?
It’s tricky for me because, though I am femme presenting, I do identify as non-binary, so I’d never want to overstep and speak on the behalf of women in rock music.
I will say, working with a network of women of colour such as my co-host Sophie, I’ve learnt a lot about the complexities of sexism in rock music and how race and class, in particular, plays a lot into it.
There have been great strides for women in rock music; we see more women as editors, touring managers, festival bookers/promoters. The next step needs to be an equal playing field for all women.
Women of colour and women from lower income backgrounds do struggle to get their foot in the door. We need to uplift everyone, all of us or none of us.
Do you think your industry does enough to elevate people from marginalised backgrounds? If not, what should they do?
It’s certainly improved. I’m just a baby to the industry. Sophie has spoken to great lengths in our podcast about how she struggled to first get her start due to the barriers of sexism and racism. We now see more people from marginalised backgrounds on the stages and working behind them.
Conversation is the way forward. The more we have these uneasy chats, the more we can learn and understand. That’s what’s so great about our lil pod! I like to call us the emo, POC Queer Eye, it’s a safe and open space to ask questions and learn.
You’re also very popular on TikTok — you have nearly 130,000 followers and over 7million cumulative likes. Tell us about that.
To be totally honest, I just don’t know when to shut the hell up. TikTok is great to post your stupid little thoughts in 15 seconds and watch them over and over and over.
It might be the imposter syndrome talking but I am clueless as to how orwhy people follow me. I am just a silly emo with a loud mouth.
What is it about your TikToks that you think resonates with people?
Maybe it’s the fact that TikTok is so accessible – you can see people from all walks of life who enjoy the same thing as you. I didn’t realise how many emo South Asians there were until a little community of us got together on TikTok.
People resonate with me because it’s nice to see themselves represented in a space they have often felt doesn’t speak for them. And I just make silly little videos that are fun and dumb.
What do you think of the term ‘social media influencer?’ Is that how you’d describe yourself? Why/why not?
I’m not sure how to feel about it if I’m totally honest. We’re in the age where an ‘influencer’ can actually be someone that uses their platform for good. Activists and journalists who’ve built large followings online and help spread awarness to social issues are influencers. We’ve rid ourselves of the 2010 diet tea photoshopped influencer and I really like that.
As for myself? God help anyone who takes influence from my shenanigans! No, but I wouldn’t say I’m an influencer. I feel like there’s more work to be done before I can say I’m that.
An average day in the working life of Yasmine Summan
9am: Yasmine usually starts their day at nine, taking an hour to prep for the day ahead.
10am-12pm: Responding to emails and queries.
1pm-4pm: Audience management across various social media channels, including leading alternative music publications.
5pm: Lunch/dinner break (don’t recommend working this long without food).
6pm-9pm: Editing videos, planning content, and finalising anything else.
How do you organise your time with these projects?
I have no clue! [laughs] I got into all of this because I struggle a lot with depression and anxiety, being able to take on lots of projects distracts me so I’m able to manage all this work knowing it fills the void.
If there’s one piece of advice you could give yourself five years ago, what would it be?
Five years ago, I was 18. I wish I could tell myself to enjoy life a bit more. I was so focused on just making it, just getting my foot in the door and stressing about where I’d be or who I’d be! Things worked out.
Where do you want to be five years from now?
I’m not quite sure. I’d like to be happy. Whatever I’m doing, as long as I’m happy, I don’t mind.
What advice would you give to someone who wanted to follow in your footsteps?
Whatever you do, remember that I am a dumbass and if you do follow me, do so with caution!
What do you love most about your job?
It’s very cheesy, I know. As our podcast has grown and we’ve started hosting events, like DJ’ing Emo Nite in LA or hosting a live podcast episode and DJ’ing at Download Festival recently, being able to see how our podcast has impacted people has given me a new purpose in life.
I remember not seeing many other people of colour at rock or metal shows growing up, being able to look out into our audience and see a diverse range of people from all age ranges, backgrounds, and so on is very heartwarming. I’m glad we can touch so many people in such a personal way.
What do you dislike the most?
I’m usually a miserable sod and love to complain but there’s not anything that comes to mind. Of course, there’s the online trolls. But they don’t faze either of us, the overwhelming love just completely encapsulates anything else we do.

Everything you need to know as F1 heads to Montreal
Formula 1 is in Montreal this weekend for the Canadian Grand Prix, the ninth race of this 22 grand prix season.
Red Bull have taken a clear lead over Ferrari in the championship battle. Charles Leclerc started on pole at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend but an engine failure caused the Ferrari driver to retire from the race.
Max Verstappen capitalised to claim victory and now boasts a 21-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez in the drivers’ standings, with Leclerc a further 13 points back.
Lewis Hamilton was left with severe back pain due to the porpoising issue with his Mercedes car, but the seven-time world champion confirmed he is fit to race this weekend.
He is still playing catch-up to teammate George Russell, though, who claimed third in Azerbaijan and sits an impressive fourth in the standings despite Mercedes’ struggles this season. Here is everything you need to know:

Driver championship
Max Verstappen has extended his lead at the top of the drivers’ championship, and right now his closest rival is his teammate Sergio Perez. That will change, you suspect, if Ferrari can get on top of their reliability issues because clearly Charles Leclerc has the pace in qualifying, but with only a few days until the Canadian Grand Prix gets under way, Ferrari do not have much time to get their car right.
1. Max Verstappen, Netherlands, Red Bull Racing, 150 points.

Constructors’ championship
Red Bull have extended their lead over Ferrari with a perfect weekend in Azerbaijan, as Verstappen and Perez collected a one-two and Ferrari recorded a double retirement.

Vince McMahon is stepping down as chief executive and chairman of WWE during an investigation into alleged misconduct involving the long-time leader and public face of the organisation.
McMahon will continue to oversee the wrestling organisation’s creative content during the investigation, World Wrestling Entertainment said.
His daughter Stephanie will serve as interim CEO and chairwoman, the organisation added.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the board was investigating a 3 million dollar (£2.4 million) settlement McMahon paid to a departing female employee with whom he allegedly had a consensual affair.
“I have pledged my complete co-operation to the investigation by the special committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation. I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are,” McMahon said in a statement.
The employee, hired as a paralegal in 2019, has a separation agreement from January that prevents her from discussing her relationship with McMahon or disparaging him, the WSJ reported.
The board’s investigation, which started in April, found other, older nondisclosure agreements involving claims by former female WWE employees of misconduct by McMahon and John Laurinaitis, the head of talent relations at WWE, the WSJ reported.
Aside from the investigation into alleged misconduct by McMahon and Laurinaitis, WWE said the company and its special committee will work with an independent third party to perform a comprehensive review of its compliance programme, HR function and overall culture.
McMahon has been the leader and most recognisable face at WWE for decades.
When he purchased the company, then the World Wrestling Federation, from his father in 1982, wrestling matches took place at small venues and appeared on local cable channels.
The organisation underwent a seismic transformation under McMahon, who created WrestleMania, a premium live event that draws millions of viewers.
Revenue last year exceeded a billion dollars for the first time.
WWE stars have become crossover sensations, including Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and John Cena.
Stephanie McMahon, who will take over at least temporarily, announced last month that she was taking a leave of absence from the most of her responsibilities at the organisation. She had been serving as the chief brand officer.
Her husband Paul Levesque, who wrestled under the name Triple H, announced in March that he was retiring due to a heart condition. He serves as WWE’s executive vice president of strategy and development.
“I have committed to doing everything in my power to help the special committee complete its work, including marshalling the co-operation of the entire company to assist in the completion of the investigation and to implement its findings,” Ms McMahon said in a statement. | https://www.independent.ie/style/celebrity/celebrity-news/vince-mcmahon-steps-down-as-wwe-chief-amid-misconduct-probe-41765705.html | 2022-06-18T08:40:48Z | https://www.independent.ie/style/celebrity/celebrity-news/vince-mcmahon-steps-down-as-wwe-chief-amid-misconduct-probe-41765705.html | false | 5 |

Tiverton and Honiton by-election: Everything you need to know about key vote on June 23
The Conservatives will be looking to hold on to the heartland seat of Tiverton and Honiton when a by-election takes place on June 23.
It follows the high-profile departure of Neil Parish, the rural Devon constituency's previous Conservative MP.
Since the seat of Tiverton and Honiton was created in 1997, it has always been held by the Tories by a significant margin.
But this month's vote takes place amid fears Sir Ed Davey's Liberal Democrats are parking their tanks on the lawn of Boris Johnson's party as they seek a third by-election scalp in the space of a year.
Why is there a by-election in Tiverton and Honiton?
A by-election takes place in a constituency when an MP's seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections.
This can take place when someone resigns, dies, is declared bankrupt, moves to the House of Lords, or is convicted of a serious criminal offence.
Neil Parish, who became a well-liked local MP after his election in 2010, resigned on April 30 after admitting he watched pornography twice in the House of Commons.
Mr Parish said he first visited the website accidentally after looking at tractors online, but then returned to it for a second time deliberately in a "moment of madness".
After telling The Telegraph's Chopper's Politics podcast last month he may run as an independent candidate, he has since decided against standing on June 23.
What happened last time?
At the 2019 General Election, in which Mr Johnson's party won a landslide victory, there was a swing of 3.3 per cent towards the Conservatives.
The Tories picked up 60.2 per cent of the vote (35,893 votes), followed by Labour on 19.5 per cent (11,654) and the Liberal Democrats on 14.8 per cent (8,807).
Voters in Tiverton and Honiton backed Brexit in June 2016, with 57.82 per cent voting to Leave compared to 42.18 per cent for Remain.
Who are the candidates?
Listed by surname (in alphabetical order), the candidates are as follows:
Jordan Donoghue-Morgan, Heritage
Andy Foan, Reform UK
Richard Foord, Liberal Democrats
Helen Hurford, Conservative
Liz Pole, Labour
Frankie Rufolo, For Britain
Ben Walker, Ukip
Gill Westcott, Green Party
The Liberal Democrats, who are aiming to secure victory in Tiverton and Honiton despite coming third in 2019, have chosen Richard Foord, a former Army Major who trained at Sandhurst, as their by-election candidate.
After drawing up an all-female shortlist, the Conservatives have nominated Helen Hurford, a former head teacher. Speaking to Radio Exe, she said she now backed Mr Johnson but declined to reveal how she would have voted in the June 6 confidence vote, had she been an MP.
Labour is fielding Liz Pole, who was also the party's candidate in 2019 when the Tories lost 7.6 per cent of their vote share compared to the 2017 poll amid a decline in the party's national fortunes.
Is there a Labour-Lib Dem 'electoral pact'?
There has been speculation about a 'pact' between Labour and the Liberal Democrats as the by-election will take place on the same day as another in Wakefield, which Labour believes it has a better chance of winning.
Labour has instructed its frontbenchers not to travel to Tiverton and Honiton to campaign in order to give the Liberal Democrats a better chance of victory, Politics Home reported last month.
A Labour spokesman insisted they would "fight for every vote" in the constituency, and both Sir Keir Starmer's party and the Liberal Democrats have categorically denied they have come to such an agreement.
Oliver Dowden, the Conservative Party chairman, accused the two parties of standing down for one another at May's local elections in order to boost the Left-wing and liberal vote nationwide.
What could the result mean?
The result of the by-election will be announced in the early hours of June 24.
The Conservatives are fighting the election by defending their record of delivery for the local area, the Liberal Democrats have zoned in on farming and the Government's tax rises, and Labour has focused on the cost-of-living crisis.
If the Conservatives can hold on to Tiverton and Honiton, it will ease jitters about Mr Johnson's leadership among his MPs in heartland areas after he survived a confidence vote earlier this month, albeit with a bigger rebellion than was expected.
But if they suffer their first defeat in the constituency, there will be questions about whether Mr Johnson's brand is damaged beyond repair, as well as the direction of his government's policies on taxation, the cost-of-living crisis and clean rivers.
Last year, the Liberal Democrats won two surprise by-election victories in traditionally safe Conservative seats as they triumphed in both North Shropshire and Chesham and Amersham.
If Sir Ed Davey's party can pull off a third such victory within a year, this will consolidate its role as the main challenger to the Conservatives in rural and heartland areas that have always been seen as 'true blue'.
But any result other than taking the seat from the Tories would disappoint the Liberal Democrats and suggest it was still struggling to connect with voters after a lacklustre 2019 general election showing.
Labour sources told The Telegraph the party does not expect to win the by-election, but will aim to win as many votes as possible to "send a message" to the PM | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tiverton-honiton-election-everything-know-082652177.html?src=rss | 2022-06-18T09:03:05Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tiverton-honiton-election-everything-know-082652177.html?src=rss | true | 13 |
Efia Odo wishes Ghana's independence delayed a bit
Ama K. Abebrese slams Efia Odo
Actress commended for her ability to tackle Efia Odo
Actress Ama K. Abebrese has described as “setback mentality” Efia Odo’s statement that Ghana gained independence “too early”.
Efia Odo had in a tweet on June 17, 2022, suggested that the country’s independence gained from Britain on March 6, 1957, should have been delayed while poohpoohing the prowess of the black man.
“We gained our independence too early! Never give a black man power, he’ll just misuse it,” the tweet of the socialite read.
Her comment triggered reactions from tweeps with some lauding her for what they said was a true observation.
But Efia Odo’s comment, according to Ama K. Abebrese who was born in Ghana and raised in West London in the United Kingdom, exposes the ignorance of the socialite.
“This is totally ignorant,” the actress emitted in a tweet sighted by GhanaWeb while backing her assertion with an explanation.
“To suggest that colonial powers were somehow better and their reign should have lasted longer is such a setback mentality to me. It ignores the history of Western interference in post-colonial Africa and the many years of bad trade deals that continually benefits the West.”
Ghana, formerly known as the Gold Coast, was on March 6, 1957, declared independent. The country was the first sub-Saharan African nation to achieve independence from a colonial power. The declaration was done by Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah who had led a mass movement demanding “self-government now”.
"...new Africa is ready to fight his own battles and show that after all the black man is capable of managing his own affairs. We are going to demonstrate to the world, to the other nations, that we are prepared to lay our foundation – our own African personality," Nkrumah said in his speech.
While it is unclear what inspired Efia Odo’s statement, it is worth noting that the socialite has for some time now been criticizing the Nana Akufo-Addo administration. She is a member of the #FixTheCountry movement, a group that describes itself as “a non-partisan and non-political civic movement by Ghanaian youths for Ghana… demanding a new society founded on justice and refusing to play by the rules of a political class that is so disinterested in the Ghana project.”

As reproductive rights groups brace for an anticipated US supreme court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and strike down federal abortion rights in America, workers at these groups are organizing to unionize ahead of the expected legal changes.
About 400 workers at 28 clinics in five states in the midwest – Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, announced in late May 2022 their intent to unionize with SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa. They have filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board after a majority of workers signed authorization cards and their request for voluntary recognition was turned down by management.
“Filing before the Roe decision comes out and before the CEO of Planned Parenthood North Central States Sarah Stoelz leaves was really important, just because of what’s going on in the country right now. It is kind of an emergency and we want to be able to provide better care to our patients,” said April Clark, a registered nurse and senior training specialist in Iowa. “Everything is going to be changing really quickly once the Roe decision comes out, if it comes out the way we expect it after the leak.”
On 2 May, a draft opinion from the supreme court was leaked to the news website Politico, striking down the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that affirmed the constitutional right to abortion, with an anticipated final ruling that would allow states to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion.
Reproductive rights workers have said they need a union to support their working conditions while taking on the challenges to come with the scaling back of abortion rights in the US.
Clark explained that clinics in Iowa have already been seeing an uptick in patients from out of state and that problems such as high turnover rates at Planned Parenthood need to be addressed through a union.
“We really can’t even safely maintain clinics now with our staffing, much less once the need gets higher. They’re constantly pushing to have less staff in the clinic and at the same time do more, and we want to make sure we can provide safe care to patients,” Clark said.
Workers also cited pay inequity, low pay and workers’ concerns being ignored by management as a few of the issues they are seeking to address through a union.
“There’s such a massive disconnect between the executive leadership team and folks on the ground who are running the day-to-day operations of Planned Parenthood,” said Ashley Schmidt, a training and development specialist at Planned Parenthood in Nebraska and western Iowa. “It’s really hard for us to give the excellent patient care that we want to be giving because we just don’t have the resources or they’ve taken the resources that we want to use away from us.”
An election date hasn’t been set by the NLRB, but workers are expecting mail-in ballots to go out some time in the next few weeks.
In an email, Molly Gage, vice-president of human resources at Planned Parenthood North Central States, said: “We support employees’ decisions about whether to be represented by a union and want every union-eligible employee’s voice to be heard.”
About 200 workers at Planned Parenthood in Massachusetts are also seeking to unionize with 1199 SEIU.
“Myself and my co-workers, especially folks in the health center, we are understaffed, underpaid and overworked,” said Andy Saltzberg, who works in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Worcester, Massachusetts. “We need to make sure that workers on the ground that are providing abortion care have everything they need, we need to make sure that they are heard and valued.”
In response to the unionization efforts, the CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts sent an email to all workers encouraging them to vote against a union, citing the overturning of Roe v Wade and claiming the union is a third party.
In an emailed statement, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts did not address the email sent to workers, but their CEO, Dr Jennifer Childs-Roshak, stated, “PPLM respects its workers’ right to organize in favor of a union, which is why we are actively working with the NLRB to facilitate an election later this month, giving every eligible employee the opportunity to fully understand the process and make their own choice. PPLM will honor the results of that election.”
At the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research and policy organization based in New York and Washington DC, 61 workers are seeking to unionize, with mail-in ballots due at the NLRB on 27 June. The non-profit hired the union avoidance firm Jackson Lewis ahead of the election.
“With the upcoming Roe decision, we really need a more supportive and sustainable Guttmacher and I feel like the best way to go about that is giving staff a seat at the table and by unionizing,” said Ashley Little, a research assistant at Guttmacher. “Both abortion and workers’ rights are about having control of the decisions that affect your life, and if we’re going to continue on in a post-Roe America, workers need to have a say in their lives.”
A spokesperson for Guttmacher said they offered voluntary recognition, but with restrictions, which the workers declined due to those stipulations.
“Our CEO has been very clear from the moment a group of employees expressed their intention to form a union that she fully respects staff’s right to organize, and that management will not oppose or in any way interfere in that process,” said the spokesperson. “Guttmacher management has and will continue to encourage staff to participate in this election and exercise their right to vote.” | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/18/workers-reproductive-rights-groups-unions-roe-v-wade | 2022-06-18T09:18:27Z | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/18/workers-reproductive-rights-groups-unions-roe-v-wade | true | 1 |
MELAKA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - State police in Melaka confirmed on Saturday (June 18) that a report has been lodged against Pari Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for allegedly receiving RM1.3 million (S$410,000) from foreign visa operator Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB).
Melaka Tengah Police Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit said the report was lodged at the Sungai Udang police station at 9pm on Friday.
"We will soon decide on which section of the Penal Code to classify and investigate the report," he said when contacted on Saturday.
The report was lodged by former Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam.
Earlier on Friday, Mr Muhyiddin denied receiving the cash inducement in 2018 when he was the country's home minister, as claimed by a witness on Friday in the ongoing corruption trial of Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Mr Muhyiddin, who is also Malaysia's National Recovery Council chairman, refuted the claims made by UKSB administrative manager David Tan on the witness stand that the former received up to RM1.3 million from the company.
"The statement (made by the witness) is false. I strongly deny it," the former prime minister said in a post on Facebook on Friday.
Mr Muhyiddin added that during that period when he allegedly received the funds, he was undergoing cancer treatment and had taken leave for a few months.
"My role as home minister at the time was taken over by then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"In fact, I was having treatment at a hospital overseas," he wrote, adding that it was impossible for him to accept bribes in that condition.
The former prime minister underwent surgery and treatment over a growth on his pancreas in Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, where he was discharged in August 2018.
Mr Muhyiddin said that he has never been investigated by the authorities regarding the allegations and was prepared to be questioned over the matter.
Mr Tan, 47, who is the former administrative manager of the company, stated his claim when the company's ledger was shown to him during Zahid's corruption trial.
Mr Tan told the court that the funds were given to Mr Muhyiddin in cash payments on June 4, July 4 and Aug 23, 2018.
"On June 4, 2018, it was RM300,000; on July 4, it was RM500,000 and on Aug 23, it was RM500,000," he said.
When questioned by Zahid's lawyer Ahmad Zaidi Zainal over who was the 'TSM' recorded in the ledger, the witness Mr Tan said: "Tan Sri Muhyiddin." | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/melaka-police-confirm-police-report-against-muhyiddin-former-malaysian-pm-denies-receiving-410k | 2022-06-18T09:25:15Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/melaka-police-confirm-police-report-against-muhyiddin-former-malaysian-pm-denies-receiving-410k | false | 2 |

(WHNT) — Will the mail run on Juneteenth? The short answer is no.
U.S. Post offices will be closed and mail will not run on Monday, June 20, when Juneteenth will be observed this year. The holiday, officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, actually falls on Sunday.
Regular mail services will restart on Tuesday.
“Although there will be no regular mail delivery on this date, carriers will deliver Priority Mail Express items on the observed Juneteenth holiday,” the USPS says.
UPS, meanwhile, indicated on its website that it will be closed on Sunday but will resume normal operations on Monday.
What else is closed Monday?
In observance of the holiday, most banks will be closed, as will the U.S. stock market and the bond market. All federal government buildings and government offices will also be closed.
Public schools, many of which are already out for the summer, will not be in session on Monday, while it is up to the discretion of private high schools and universities whether they close for the holiday.
Most restaurants and stores, however, will be open.
History behind Juneteenth
President Joe Biden signed a law last year designating Juneteenth as the 12th federal holiday in the United States.
Juneteenth, recognized annually on June 19, commemorates the date that Union soldiers brought news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, two months after the Confederacy had surrendered in the Civil War and about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in Southern states.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — After two days of deliberations in which they reached verdicts on nearly all of the questions put before them, jurors in a civil trial who were deciding on sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby will have to start from scratch on Monday.
By the end of the court day Friday, the Los Angeles County jury had come to agreement on whether Cosby had sexually assaulted plaintiff Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 in 1975, and whether Huth deserved any damages. In all they had answered eight of nine questions on their verdict form, all but one that asked whether Cosby acted in a way that should require punitive damages.
Judge Craig Karlan, who had promised one juror when she agreed to serve that she could leave after Friday for a prior commitment, decided over the objections of Cosby's attorneys to accept and read the verdict on the questions the jury had answered. But he had to change course when deputies at the Santa Monica Courthouse appeared and required him to clear the courtroom. The courthouse has a required closure time of 4:30 p.m. because of no budget for deputies' overtime
Karlan refused to require the departing juror, who had been chosen as foreperson, to return on Monday, so jurors will have to begin again with an alternate in her place.
"I won't go back on my word," Karlan said.
It was a bizarre ending to a strange day of jury deliberations. It began with a note to the judge about what he called a "personality issue" between two of the jurors that was making their work difficult.
After calling them to the courtroom and getting them to agree that every juror would be heard in discussions, the jurors resumed, but had a steady flurry of questions on issues with their verdict form that the judge and attorneys had to discuss and answer. One question was on how to calculate damages.
After the lunch break, Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean moved for a mistrial because of a photo taken by a member of Cosby's team that showed a juror standing in close proximity to a Cosby accuser who had been sitting in the audience and watching the trial.
Karlan said the photo didn't indicate any conversation had happened, and quickly dismissed the mistrial motion, getting assurances from the juror in question, then the entire jury, that no one had discussed the case with them.
The accuser, Los Angeles artist Lily Bernard, who has filed her own lawsuit against Cosby in New Jersey, denied speaking to any jurors.
"I never spoke to any juror, ever," Bernard told the judge from her seat in the courtroom. "I would never do anything to jeopardize this case. I don't even look at them."
Karlan fought to get past the hurdles and have jurors deliberate as long as possible, and kept lawyers, reporters and court staff in the courtroom ready to bolt as soon as a verdict was read, but it was fruitless in the end.
Jurors had begun deliberating on Thursday morning after a two-week trial.
Cosby, 84, who was freed from prison when his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out nearly a year ago, did not attend. He denied any sexual contact with Huth in a clip from a 2015 video deposition shown to jurors. The denial has been repeated throughout the trial by his spokesman and his attorney.
In contentious closing arguments, Bonjean urged the jurors to look past the public allegations against Cosby and consider only the trial evidence, which she said did not come close to proving Huth's case.
Huth's attorney Nathan Goldberg told jurors Cosby had to be held accountable for the harm he had done to his client.

This morning, SpaceX will be launching a German radar satellite using one of its Falcon 9 rockets. The company will be livestreaming the launch, so you can watch along at home, and we’ve got all the details on how to watch below.
What to expect from the launch
The launch is scheduled for 10:19 a.m. ET (7:19 a.m. PT) on Saturday, June 18, to take place from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The weather is looking clear for the region this morning, so likelihood is high that the launch will go ahead. But if there are weather issues, there is another opportunity for launch on Monday, June 20.
The Falcon 9 rocket will carry a satellite called SARah-1 into orbit. The satellite was built by Germany company Airbus for the German military as part of the SARah system. The system, a replacement for the current SAR-Lupe system, will consist of three radar satellites and a ground segment, with the other satellites to launch later. The radar satellites are for observing the Earth from space and generating satellite imagery.
“The radar instrument developed and built by Airbus features a sophisticated active phased array antenna and represents a further development of the Airbus-built TerraSAR, TanDEM-X and PAZ Earth observation satellites already successfully operating in orbit,” Airbus writes. “This technology offers the advantages of very fast pointing and very flexible shaping of the antenna beam to deliver imagery in record time.”
How to watch the launch
The launch will be livestreamed, as is typical for SpaceX launches. The livestream will include final preparations before liftoff, liftoff itself, the separation of the first and second stages, and the landing of the first stage booster. This particular booster has been used before on two missions, the NROL-87 and NROL-85 missions.
Coverage will begin around 10 minutes before liftoff, at just after 10 a.m. ET (7 a.m. PT). You can watch either by heading to SpaceX’s YouTube channel or by using the video embedded at the top of this page.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's president has appealed to the organizers of this year's documenta fifteen art show to do more to tackle the antisemitism allegations surrounding the event.
The show, which takes place every five years in the German city of Kassel and is considered a major event in the international art calendar, is curated this year by the Indonesian group Ruangrupa. The group was accused of inviting organizations from developing countries who support a boycott of Israel because of the country's treatment of Palestinians.
Speaking Saturday at the show's official opening, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said "there are limits” to what artists can do when they address political issues.
“As justified as some criticism of Israeli policies, such as the building of settlements, is, recognizing Israeli statehood means recognizing the dignity and security of the modern Jewish community,” he said.
“As Germany's president I say for my country: Recognizing Israel is the basis and condition for debate here,” he added.
Steinmeier said he had hoped for a proper debate between representatives from developing countries and the Jewish communities in Germany and Israel ahead of the show.
He called on documenta organizers not to outsource their responsibility to the Indonesian curators, but instead to take on the role of mediators and “create appropriate structures" for debate.
Many of the show's exhibits address issues of colonialism from the perspective of the global South.
About 1 million people are expected to visit the documenta fifteen, which runs for 100 days. | https://www.lmtonline.com/entertainment/article/Major-German-art-show-opens-amid-antisemitism-17250592.php | 2022-06-18T10:46:33Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/entertainment/article/Major-German-art-show-opens-amid-antisemitism-17250592.php | true | 16 |
Do you want to come back from the dead? New Australian firm promises customers a second shot at life for $150,000 - by FREEZING their corpses until science can revive them...one day
- Aussies wanting another crack at life will need a spare $150,000 for the chance
- An Australian company wants to bring punters back to life after freezing them
- Their NSW facility is first one in country to offer the controversial life after death
- Bodies frozen in chambers until medicine advances to allow them to be revived
- Scientists warn the freezing process hasn't been proven to preserve life
An Aussie company is offering the rich a chance to come back from the dead with the country's first cryogenic freezer to hold corpses until science can revive them.
Southern Cryonics have set up a hi-tec facility in rural Holbrook, NSW, 500km south-west of the firm's Sydney HQ.
Participants will need to fork out a whopping $150,000 to be encased in liquid nitrogen at temperatures close to -200C in the steel chambers.
Interiors of chambers where bodies are incased (pictured in a U.S. facility) head first, feet up, get down to a frosty -196C
There are no guarantees nor refunds for those wishing to extend their life through the project
Their bodies will be submerged head first, feet up so the brain has the best chance of survival if the chamber happens to leak.
The not-for-profit organisation already has 40 spaces - with most reserved for its founders - to be filled in stage one of their project, but plans to add 600 more spots once additional warehouses are built.
Cryonics is the practice of preserving human bodies in extremely cold temperatures inside chambers - with the expectation medical technology in the future will be able to bring them back to life.
It promotes the idea that death is a gradual process and can be reversed if a dead body is frozen quickly enough.
The Holbrook facility (pictured) in NSW has 40 spots, most of them reserved for founders of Aussie firm Southern Cryonics
The facility (pictured) hopes to give participants a revival hundreds of years after their deaths
As soon as certain medical advancements are made in the future, participants may be able to be resuscitated, insists the Southern Cryonics website.
It hopes future medical technology will be able to repair the accumulated damage of ageing and disease at molecular level and restore the patient to health.
Yet there are no guarantees or refunds for those wishing to take the chance of extending their life with this project.
Previous participants lucked out in the late 1970s when the Cryonics Society of California president Robert Nelson walked away from a facility after funds ran out.
Nine bodies, which should have been preserved, were left to decompose, with families later filing a successful lawsuit against Mr Nelson.
The idea of a life able to be revived after being frozen for a length of time has largely been relegated to science fiction in scientific circles.
Dennis Kowalski, the president of the Cryonics Institute in the U.S. told Discover Magazine there are three challenges for future technology advancements to overcome.
Repairing the damage done by freezing, curing whatever ailment that killed the subject and reversing the ageing process will all be required so the person has a healthy body to enjoy their second chance at life.
Shannon Tessier, a cryobiologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital in the U.S. said the freezing process alone is a permanent death sentence.
'There is absolutely no current way, no proven scientific way, to actually freeze a whole human down to that temperature without completely destroying — and I mean obliterating — the tissue,' Ms Tessier said.

In the wake of violent protests over the Agnipath scheme, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday hit out at the opposition, saying that some people with "prejudiced mindset" were trying to convert their "craze of political allergy" against Prime Minister Narendra Modi into a conspiracy against the positive energy of the country's youth. He also said that youngsters should not allow any "destructive obstacle" to come into the "perfect path" of their bright future.
The Minority Affairs Minister was speaking to reporters after flagging off the first batch of Haj pilgrims from Maharashtra at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport here.
"Some people with prejudiced mindset are trying to convert their craze of political allergy against PM Narendra Modi into a conspiracy against the positive energy of the country's youth. But we should not allow such a conspiracy to succeed at any cost," he said while referring to the violence over Agnipath, the scheme unveiled by the government on Tuesday for short-term recruitment into the country's three armed forces.
The Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha said the youths of the country should not allow any "confusion" to dominate the "promotion" of their future.
"We have full confidence in the positive energy of the country's youth and their nationalism," he said.
Unveiling the Agnipath scheme, the government had said youths between the ages of 17-and-a-half and 21 years would be inducted for a four-year tenure while 25 per cent of the recruits will be retained for regular service. The upper age limit was raised to 23 years on Thursday as violent protests against the new model for enrolment of soldiers into the Army, Navy and Air Force erupted in parts of the country.
A man was shot dead in police firing in Telangana's Secunderabad, trains went up in flames, and public and private vehicles were attacked, as railway stations and highways turned into battlegrounds in many states on Friday amid burgeoning protests against Agnipath.

Montreal [Canada], June 18 (ANI): Yuki Tsunoda will have his work cut out in the pursuit of points in the Canadian Grand Prix after his AlphaTauri team fitted his car with a series of new engine components that triggers a grid penalty.
The Japanese driver was set for a top-six finish last time out in Baku, in what would have been his best result of the season, when an issue with his DRS forced a late pit stop and ultimately dropped him out of the points.

Ahead of first practice for this weekend's Montreal race, which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2019 after a two-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the FIA released the list of power unit component changes for the Canadian weekend.
Tsunoda will take a completely new engine - with fresh internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-K, MGU-H, control electronics and energy store - plus a fifth exhaust of the season.

As these will be his fourth ICE, turbocharger, MGU-H and MGU-K of the year, thus exceeding his allocation, he will be handed four penalties by the stewards, which means a back-of-the-grid start for Sunday's race.
Meanwhile, Ferrari said the power unit used by title contender Charles Leclerc in Baku is "beyond repair", with the team working on countermeasures to "strengthen the package" after their double DNF in Azerbaijan. They added: "The situation is under control."
It was later confirmed that Leclerc, a two-time winner this year, will run a new control electronics here, incurring a 10-place grid penalty for Montreal.
At Haas, Kevin Magnussen, who suffered an engine failure in Baku, will run a new Ferrari ICE, turbocharger and MGU-H, but like Leclerc, he escapes penalty as they are within his allocation.
Alpine's Esteban Ocon follows Leclerc, Tsunoda and Magnussen in taking his third and final ICE permitted before triggering penalties. He'll also run a new turbocharger, MGU-H and control electronics. (ANI)

Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o, and... Nuno Valente? After Nemanja Matic linked up with Jose Mourinho for the THIRD time at Roma, which other stars have been signed more than once by the Special One - and how did they get on?
- Roma confirmed the signing of free agent midfielder Nemanja Matic on Tuesday
- Matic, 33, moved after his contract at Manchester United expired this summer
- It means Roma manager Jose Mourinho has signed the Serbian for the third time
- Sportsmail looks at the other players the Special One has signed more than once
It was a case of better the devil you know for Nemanja Matic after he signed for a Jose Mourinho team for the third time this week.
The Serbian midfielder joined Serie A side Roma on a free transfer on Tuesday after his contract expired at Manchester United this summer.
That move marks the third time Matic has linked up with Mourinho - despite the 33-year-old midfielder admitting it's 'not always easy' working with the 'Special One'.
But the Portuguese boss does have history signing certain trusted players and has be known to bring several reliable stars to multiple clubs he has managed.
African strikers Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o are among those brought in more than once, with left back Nuno Valente perhaps a surprise name on the list of Mourinho's trusted lieutenants.
So, Sportsmail looks at which other players Mourinho has signed twice or more - and judges just how they got on.

Didier Drogba - Chelsea and... Chelsea
One of Mourinho's very first signings as Chelsea manager was Drogba, who had scored 32 goals in 55 appearances for Marseille the season before his £24million switch.
He got off to a slow start at Stamford Bridge, with Blues fans even subjecting him to jeers in his debut season over perceived play-acting, but over the next two seasons the Ivorian powerhouse came into his own.
After helping Mourinho's men claim back-to-back Premier League titles, Drogba netted 33 goals in all competitions as they narrowly missed out on a third crown in 2006-07, three of which came in FA Cup and League Cup final wins over Manchester United and Arsenal.
Mourinho left Chelsea later that year and his beloved centre-forward stayed until 2012, only for Mourinho to return for a second stint in charge one year later.
One of his very first moves was to re-sign a 36-year-old Drogba on a free transfer, with the pair clinching another title together before he departed for a second time.
Drogba arrived from Marseille for £24million an unknown in English football but left a legend
Samuel Eto'o - Inter Milan and Chelsea
One of Mourinho's greatest pieces of business came when he swapped Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Samuel Eto'o at Inter Milan in 2009 and received £39m as part of the deal.
Barca believed they had pulled off a seismic transfer for one of Europe's top centre-forwards and moved out an ageing Eto'o in the process, yet the Cameroonian and Mourinho came back to haunt them later that season.
While he only netted 16 goals in all competitions, the Cameroon striker was an integral member of Inter's treble-winning side that year, helping them get past former club Barca in the Champions League semi-finals and go on to lift the trophy.
Mourinho left Inter for Real Madrid in the summer of 2010, however three years later he reunited with Eto'o in his second spell at Chelsea.
The 32-year-old was on hand with 12 goals over the course of his single campaign in west London, one of which he celebrated by crouching over and holding his back in jest after Mourinho was secretly recorded doubting his age.

Paulo Ferreira - Porto and Chelsea
The Portuguese right back proved one of Mourinho's most trusted lieutenants in his time with Porto and Chelsea, first joining him at the Estadio do Dragao in 2002.
Ferreira was an ever-present in the Porto side which recorded back-to-back title wins while claiming the Champions League and UEFA Cup, and when Mourinho took the reins at Chelsea in 2004 he followed him.
Again, he was an important member of back-to-back title-winning squads under the Special One, while also getting his hands on two League Cups and the FA Cup.
Mourinho said about Ferreira during that time: 'The boy never gets injured, which means he consistently plays around 60 games a season, no problem. For me this makes him the world's best right back - which is why I signed him for Chelsea.'
'Paulo will never get a mark of 10 out of 10 in a game or even nine, but neither will he ever get below a seven or an eight.'
After Mourinho's departure in 2007 Ferreira went on to spend another six years at Chelsea, winning another title, three FA Cups, the Champions League and Europa League.

Maniche - Porto and Chelsea
Another player Mourinho brought to both Porto and Chelsea, Maniche first joined the Portuguese club from arch-rivals Benfica in 2002 and instantly become a first-team regular.
The midfielder featured 94 times under Mourinho, scoring 20 goals and getting his hands on two Portuguese titles, the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
After leaving for Dynamo Moscow, he eventually reunited with his former manager when the Russian outfit sent him on loan to Chelsea in January 2006, where he struggled to work his way into Mourinho's plans amid competition from Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and Claude Makelele.
Portuguese central midfielder Maniche was another player to follow Mourinho to Chelsea
Ricardo Carvalho - Chelsea and Real Madrid
The iconic centre back was already a Porto player when Mourinho rocked up in 2002, though it was under his management when he took his game to new heights and emerged as one of the best defenders in European football.
Having proved instrumental in Porto's Champions League success, Mourinho wasted no time in bringing Carvalho to Chelsea, who forked out £40m to prise him away from the Estadio do Dragao.
It didn't take him long to adjust to English football, either. In his debut season, Carvalho formed arguably the greatest defensive partnership in Premier League history with John Terry, helping the Blues romp home to the title while conceding a record low 15 goals.
Over the course of Mourinho's three full seasons at Chelsea he featured 125 times and swept up five major honours, before eventually linking up with his compatriot at Real Madrid in 2010.
Mourinho secured a £7m deal to re-sign Carvalho at the Bernabeu, where they won the Spanish title and Copa del Rey together.
However, after racking up 48 appearances in his first season the veteran played more of a bit-part role over the next two campaigns before heading to Monaco.
Centre half Ricardo Carvalho (left) played under Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Real Madrid
Michael Essien - Chelsea and Real Madrid
Like Carvalho, the Ghanaian midfielder was signed by Mourinho at both Chelsea and Real Madrid, first arriving at Stamford Bridge in 2005 after completing a £24m move from Lyon.
He initially proved a revelation in English football, with a series of powerful performances in the middle of the park earning him a place in the team alongside Lampard and Makelele.
Essien got his hands on every possible domestic trophy under Mourinho before he was dismissed in 2007, only to reunite with him at the Bernabeu five years later.
Having fallen out of favour at Chelsea, largely a result of injury problems, in 2012 he was sent out on loan to Madrid, where Mourinho branded him his 'son' at a press conference unveiling the signing.
And when the Special One headed back to Chelsea at the end of that season, they briefly spent time together again before Essien left for AC Milan in January 2014.
Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien also followed Mourinho to Real Madrid from west London
Nemanja Matic - Chelsea, Manchester United and Roma
The only player Mourinho has signed on three separate occasions is Matic, who completed a free transfer to his Roma side on Tuesday after leaving Manchester United.
The Serbian midfielder first joined him at Chelsea in January 2014, returning for a second spell at Stamford Bridge having been offloaded three years earlier.
He instantly become a crucial component in the Blues midfield, helping them pick up another Premier League title under their legendary boss in 2015.
Mourinho was axed halfway through their title defence amid a disastrous campaign which left them hovering above the relegation zone, but he eventually joined forces with Matic again at Manchester United in 2017.
The pair did not enjoy the same success at Old Trafford, with Mourinho eventually sacked in December 2018. Now, three-and-a-half years later they are back together again in Rome.
Matic is obviously highly rated by Mourinho - his spell with the Giallorossi is his third with Jose
Nuno Valente - Leiria and Porto
During his early tenure with Portuguese side Leiria, Mourinho spotted Valente and brought him over from Sporting Lisbon.
Having spent three years together at Leiria and clearly been impressed by what he'd seen, Mourinho made the left-back one of his very first signings as manager of Porto.
Again Valente proved an important member of his squad, making 48 appearances as they swept up two Portuguese titles, the Champions League and UEFA Cup. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10923371/Nemanja-Matic-joins-Jose-Mourinho-Roma-stars-signed-once.html | 2022-06-18T11:07:13Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10923371/Nemanja-Matic-joins-Jose-Mourinho-Roma-stars-signed-once.html | false | 2 |

In India's Assam state, at least nine people were killed in the floods and 2 million saw their homes submerged, according to the state disaster management agency.
Lightning in parts of neighboring Bangladesh meanwhile killed nine people on Friday.
Both countries have asked their militaries for help as more flooding looms with rains expected to continue over the weekend.
The Brahmaputra, one of Asia's largest rivers, breached its mud embankments, inundating 3,000 villages and croplands in 28 of Assam's 33 districts.
"We expect moderate to heavy rainfall in several parts of Assam till Sunday. The volume of rainfall has been unprecedented," said Sanjay O'Neil, an official at the meteorological station in Gauhati, Assam's capital.
Several train services were canceled in India amid the incessant downpour over the past five days. In southern Assam's Haflong town, the railway station was underwater and flooded rivers deposited mud and silt along the rail tracks.
India's army has been mobilized to assist disaster response agencies in rescuing stranded people and providing food and other essentials. Soldiers used speedboats and inflatable rafts to navigate through submerged areas.
In Bangladesh, districts near the Indian border have been worst affected.
Water levels in all major rivers across the country were rising, according to the flood forecasting and warning center in Dhaka, the capital. The country has about 130 rivers.
The center said the flood situation is likely to deteriorate in the worst-hit Sunamganj and Sylhet districts in the northeastern region as well as in Lalmonirhat, Kurigram, Nilphamari and Rangpur districts in northern Bangladesh.
Flight operations at Osmani International Airport in Sylhet have been suspended for three days as floodwaters have almost reached the runway, according to Hafiz Ahmed, the airport manager.
Last month, a pre-monsoon flash flood, triggered by a rush of water from upstream in India's northeastern states, hit Bangladesh's northern and northeastern regions, destroying crops and damaging homes and roads. The country was just starting to recover when fresh rains flooded the same areas again this week.
Bangladesh, a nation of 160 million people, is low-lying and faces threats from natural disasters such as floods and cyclones, made worse by climate change. According to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, about 17% of people in Bangladesh would need to be relocated over the next decade or so if global warming persists at the present rate.

Dinesh Karthik: The finisher who is far from finished Photograph:( AFP )
Just like the finale in every cricket match rests on a finisher's shoulders and the end is always decided by him, or her, Dinesh Karthik seems hell bent to pen the concluding chapter of his inspiring career on his own and in his own way. He doesn't want it to be left to fate.
On the back of a glittering IPL 2022 season, the 37-year-old Dinesh Karthik made a comeback -- for the nth time -- in the Team India set up ahead of the ongoing South Africa home T20Is. Being made a scapegoat for India's 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final loss, Karthik waited for almost three years for a comeback. Needless to say, his return has been a blessing for the national side.
From IPL 15 to date, the entire country is chanting "DK, DK" as Karthik remains the talk of the town. This success has been long overdue. Debuting for India in 2004, Karthik's career span is longer than MS Dhoni (under whose gigantic shadow he remained glued to a corner for years) and many yesteryear stars such as VVS Laxman, current head coach Rahul Dravid, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, etc. In fact, he just needs to stick around for six more years to equal the great Sachin Tendulkar.
Nonetheless, DK's success ratio is much smaller than the above-mentioned stalwarts of Indian cricket. Despite that, his hunger for success, appetite for playing for the country, willingness to adapt to varied roles, and childlike enthusiasm remain second to none.

For someone who has been around as a second-choice keeper-batter for years, is still behind Rishabh Pant in the reckoning, has even donned the opener's hat in India's historic Test series win in England in 2007, been part of two ICC title-wins for the Men in Blue (in 2007 and 2013), bloomed in 2018-19 only to disappear once again, Karthik has come a long long way. He has failed more than he has succeeded, hence, he is adamant about not being done yet. Just like the finale in every cricket match rests on a finisher's shoulders and the end is always decided by him, or her, DK seems hell bent to pen the concluding chapter of his inspiring career on his own and in his own way. He doesn't want it to be left to fate.
Thus, Karthik isn't just India's finisher -- strengthening his chances to feature in this year's T20 World cup with each game -- he is also making a statement loud and clear, i.e. "I am a finisher, who is yet again far from finished. I will finish it off in my own way."
After becoming India's oldest half-centurion in T20Is and guiding Pant & Co. to a series-levelling win versus South Africa, in Rajkot, Karthik told all-rounder Hardik Pandya in a special interaction on BCCI.tv, "Look, I was very bull-headed that I want to play this World Cup. It is very important in my life, I have been around for so long. I know what it feels like to be dropped. I also know how valuable it is to play for Team India. I wanted to do something special. Luckily, RCB gave me that platform and the role I really enjoyed doing at the backend. I practiced for it. Now that I am here, I want to be that guy who can help India win those tough games. I know how tough it is to be part of this team. The vibe is very different," said Karthik.
During the same conversation, Hardik echoed the voice of every Indian cricket fan and athlete by lauding DK's journey. He said, "I need to tell you this, Genuinely I want to tell you this, you have given a lot of inspiration to many guys in their life. I remember the conversation you were having when you were not in the scheme of things, a lot of people counted you out."
"I remember those conversations. You told me then that my goal is to play for India again and the goal is to play this World Cup, I am going to give it my everything, and seeing you achieve that is very inspirational. A lot of people are going to learn new things. Well done my brother, very proud of you," he added.

DK is the finisher, on and off the field. He will not finish until he is part of India's flight enroute Australia for the T20 World Cup (or maybe even dream of being part of the 2023 ODI World Cup). He won't take his guard off until he sees India home in many upcoming tense chases. Similarly, he won't finish off by virtue of being dropped anymore. He is writing his own script. DK will finish off in style. Until then, sit back and enjoy the show by a child who, time and again, fights with destiny to stay relevant. | https://www.wionews.com/sports/dinesh-karthik-the-finisher-who-is-far-from-finished-489375 | 2022-06-18T11:23:51Z | https://www.wionews.com/sports/dinesh-karthik-the-finisher-who-is-far-from-finished-489375 | false | 1 |

Which Aladdin toy is best?
If you’re looking for a whole new world of toys, look no further than those based on Disney’s “Aladdin” films. Whether you prefer the 1992 animated feature film or the 2019 live-action version, you can find exciting toys that will enchant you. If you rub your magic lamp and want to use your three wishes on an Aladdin toy, the Disney Petite Aladdin Storytelling Gift Set is your top choice.
What to know before you buy an Aladdin toy
Version of Aladdin
The most famous and recognizable version of Aladdin is Disney’s cartoon. The animated characters from the film are some of the most iconic in the Disney canon. However, you can find toys based on the animated film or the live-action version. Dolls from the live-action movie look like the actors who played them, such as Will Smith as Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar. You can find Jasmine’s more modern and casual version in the Comfy Squad collection from “Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.” The Aladdin Broadway show also has a collection of plush toys and dolls with their renditions of the costumes and a stuffed bear dressed as Genie. If your recipient prefers the classic animated characters, ensure your purchase reflects their wishes.
Dolls
You can find dolls that look like the animated and live-action film characters. With authentic physical attributes and costume replicas, you can recreate the films in your own home. Look for baby and toddler versions of Princess Jasmine from Disney. You can also find a Jasmine styling head toy to practice her hairstyle.
Plush toys
There are plush versions of the human characters from Aladdin, along with brightly colored plush renditions of Genie, Abu the monkey, Rajah the tiger and Iago the parrot. Disney even has a plush toy of Abu when he was transformed into an elephant. The beautiful Disney Wisdom Plush collection has a stuffed Genie with the quotation, “Like so many things, it’s not what is outside, but what is inside that counts,” embroidered on his chest. Funko’s Supercute Plush line has small collectible plush Aladdin dolls. With an array of sizes, you can choose the one that fits your space best.
Playsets
Aladdin playsets with all of the characters from the movie, plus accessories such as the magic carpet will help you act out your favorite scenes from the films. Most playsets include Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Abu, Rajah, Jafar and Iago. Little People has an Aladdin set that is perfect for very young children. Some figures come packaged with scenery, such as Jasmine’s palace. There is also a beautiful tea set with a gold teapot, cups and saucers that looks like it came straight out of Agrabah.
Dress-up toys
Kids can dress up as their favorite Aladdin characters with dress-up toys. You can find sets with accessories such as Jasmine’s shoes, earrings, cuffs and tiara. You can even find Jasmine wigs to recreate her signature hairstyle. There are also full costumes with immediately recognizable details. Magic lamps in realistic sizes bring magic to the playroom.
Building toys
Lego carries several sets which double as building toys during construction and playsets when complete. They also have some mini-figures of the characters.
Age of child
As with any toy, you should consider the age of the child recipient when you choose a gift. Toys with small parts and more sophisticated elements are more appropriate for older children, while younger children may prefer plushies and dolls.
What to look for in a quality Aladdin toy
Authenticity of characters
Both versions of Disney’s Aladdin characters have ornate costumes with gorgeous details. The dolls, in particular, have authentic clothing that looks just like it does in the movies.
Accessories
Many Aladdin toys come with accessories such as magic lamps and magic carpets. Look for toys with extra pieces that make the story come to life.
Sets
Aladdin toys not only come in sets from the films, but you can also find Jasmine in Disney Princess collections. Look for her alongside other princesses such as Belle, Ariel, Tiana, Snow White and Cinderella in classic and Comfy Squad sets.
Lights and sounds
Some Aladdin toys light up and make sounds when you play with them, such as a magic lamp toy inspired by Disney’s live-action film. An Abu Chatterback plush toy vibrates and chatters back to you when you speak to him. A live-action Genie toy sings, “Friend Like Me.”
How much you can expect to spend on an Aladdin toy
Depending on how big the toy is and how old it is, expect to spend $12-$75 for an Aladdin toy. Because the animated “Aladdin” is almost 30 years old, there are older and newer toys for your collection. Retired toys from third-party sellers tend to be much more expensive because they are harder to find.
Aladdin toy FAQ
Do any Aladdin toys come with books?
A. Yes. You can find some sets with books, including a Princess Jasmine doll from the “Princess Stories” Collection that comes with a mini “Aladdin” Golden Book. My Busy Books has an “Aladdin” book with 10 toy figurines and a giant playmat.
Are there Aladdin learning toys?
A. Yes. Aladdin is part of the Me Reader Electronic Reader, which helps young children learn to read. There are also Aladdin jigsaw puzzles and board games that help promote learning.

Which soup bowls are best?
Few things are better on a blustery winter day than a big bowl of steaming hot soup. Even the delicious chilled soups of summer taste better when served in the perfect bowl. Deep and narrow, shallow and wide, handles or not, there are many decisions to make when looking for a new vessel for soup. So, grab your soup spoons and look at the six best soup bowls.
Soup bowls with handles or without
Some people prefer to cradle a warm bowl of soup in the palm of their hands, making a handle unnecessary. If this doesn’t sound like you and you prefer something more substantial to grip, choose soup bowls with generous handles. These may have a hook-shaped handle on both sides of the rim or one handle that extends from the bowl.
Soup bowl material
The best material for your soup bowl is determined by the eaters in your house.
- Plastic: For households with young children, plastic is the best option. Make sure it is clearly labeled food-safe, which means it’s free from bisphenol A and other harmful chemicals.
- Porcelain or ceramic: Porcelain or ceramic is a classic, available in everything from simple white pieces to rainbow colors. These are typically fairly sturdy, but make sure they are thick enough so that it does not burn your hands when you hold the bowl.
- Stoneware: Think artisan-crafted, unique pieces, and you’ll be imagining a thick stoneware bowl. These tend to stay cooler on the outside and can take years of use without chipping or cracking.
Soup bowl style
You may picture a traditional soup bowl as a deep vessel to hold a rich stew, but other bowl styles are available, too. There are seven traditional styles of soup bowls.
- Soup plate: This is a wide, shallow bowl with a slightly sloped rim. This is only used in formal dining.
- Coupe soup bowl: It has a saucer shape and is for informal dinners.
- Soup/cereal bowl: This bowl may not have a rim, and it is narrow and deeper than the soup and coupe bowls.
- Covered soup bowl: Covered soup bowls are narrower and deeper.
- Lug soup bowl: These feature solid handles extending horizontally from the rim of the bowl.
- Cream soup bowl: Cream soup bowls have open-loop handles. They are designed to serve the first course of pureed soup.
- Bouillon cup: This bowl comes with its own saucer and is for clear broth without a spoon.
Which is the best soup bowl?
These generous 22-ounce soup bowls are also available in a 39-ounce size for when you need a very hearty meal. They stack for storage and are safe in the microwave, dishwasher, freezer and oven. They are also made from lightweight porcelain that is very sturdy.
Sold by Amazon
Cutiset Multicolor Ceramic Soup Bowls With Handles
This set of four bowls comes in bright primary colors or muted glazed pastels. They hold 20 ounces of your favorite soup, chili or stew. The heavy stoneware is guaranteed to be lead-free and safe for food. The handles feel substantial and easy to hold.
Sold by Amazon
This set of four bowls holds 26 ounces each and is made from indestructible, food-grade plastic. These are perfect for households with children. They are safe in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they come in three fun colors or a set of four assorted colors.
Sold by Amazon
Traditionally designed with a slight neck leading to a flared opening, these porcelain french onion soup bowls hold 20 ounces of steaming hot broth topped with a sliced baguette and melted cheese. The set of four has a sturdy handle and is painted in fun colors with polka dots. They stack for easy storage.
Sold by Amazon
Lauchuh Soup Bowl Set With Handles
These matte black stackable bowls can nest in a stainless steel carrier for easy access and storage. The word “soup” is printed in block letters on each bowl. The premium porcelain is oven-safe to 450 degrees, holds 27 ounces per bowl and features two generous handles.
Sold by Amazon
This more sophisticated, shallow soup bowl is best for smooth soups and bisques. The wide rim is slightly angled toward the bowl to prevent soup from spilling as you carry it to the table. Each bowl in this set of four holds 20 ounces, and they are available in green, too.

America’s Retirement System Is Broken. This Economist Is Trying to Fix It.
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Economist Alicia Munnell has been telling America it has a retirement problem for decades, and by most measures it has gotten worse. Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research, which she heads, calculates that half of households will have a diminished retirement because they haven’t saved enough.
But unlike some economists and researchers who want to rip up our retirement system, Munnell believes the problem can be solved by fixing what’s already in place. She says that the government should shore up the finances of Social Security by raising taxes, not by cutting benefits. She says that retirement savings plans should be made available to all workers, and that all workers should be automatically enrolled in them when they start a job. Finally, Munnell says a growing number of Americans are going to have to work longer to save more retirement money and maximize their Social Security benefits.

Retirement
Barron’s brings retirement planning and advice to you in a weekly wrap-up of our articles about preparing for life after work.
The 79-year-old professor might seem an unlikely advocate for working-class Americans, having grown up on Park Avenue in Manhattan and earning her Ph.D. in economics at Harvard University. But a job as a researcher at the Brookings Institution when she was 23 showed her that there were people tackling important problems and she wanted to be among them. She worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and was an economic official in the Clinton administration before joining Boston College in 1997 and starting the retirement center a year later.
We reached Munnell at her office in Boston. Her comments have been edited.
Barron’s: How bad is our retirement problem?
Alicia Munnell: It is really quite serious. For people in the upper 40%, the system works fine. For those below, it really doesn’t. 401(k) plans have turned out to be good mechanisms of accumulation for those who have constant coverage and earn substantial amounts.
How could it be fixed?
Any of us could go and design an ideal system, a better system. But I’m very much of the school that we have what we have. And the test is to make that system work as well as possible.
The problem is twofold. One, not everyone has this second tier of retirement income, which is characterized by 401(k) plans. And, two, people don’t put as much in their 401(k) plans as they could.
How would you make retirement savings plans more effective?
You need to automatically enroll people, and you need to have default contribution rates that increase automatically. But most importantly we need to expand coverage so that everybody has a workplace savings plan.
My colleagues and I have done a lot of work encouraging state plans, where state governments have introduced a requirement that employers that do not offer a plan have to automatically enroll their employees in a Roth IRA. The employee can always opt out.
What states are using them?
So we have these auto IRA program up and running in Oregon, in California, in Illinois. I think Connecticut has just come on board, and Maryland is about to come on board.
But the idea to have 50 separate programs through the United States doesn’t make any sense at all. What we really need is a federal program.
It has to be a Roth?
It has to be a Roth. First of all, being able to deduct contributions [as with plans like 401(k)s and traditional IRAs] is not very important to low-income people. And second, a Roth allows people to take out the money they have contributed when they need it. It gives them to a piggy bank that they can turn to. It means that they have money if they have an automobile accident, if their roof needs fixing, or they have some other emergency.
How much of a tax increase would it take to make Social Security solvent?
If it were totally financed through a payroll tax on the current base, it would take a 3.5% increase, half of that paid by workers, half by employers. The rate would be lower if we increased the maximum taxable earnings for Social Security, and even lower if we financed some of the costs through income tax revenues.
Why do you think working longer is a good thing?
Retirement is a relatively new phenomenon. People in the old days, before Social Security, really worked until they could no longer work physically.
Work provides structure. It provides social interaction. It provides money. It provides all sorts of good things for people who have relatively attractive jobs.
I’m very sensitive to the fact that the prescription for working longer is not applicable to everybody. Not all people are healthy enough to keep doing it. But for anybody who can work longer, it is definitely the way to assure that you have a secure future.
It’s secure because you’ll save more money or have fewer years in retirement?
All of the above. And you get your biggest Social Security benefits if you work until age 70. Anything less and your benefit is reduced.
You’re still working at 79. Do you plan to retire?
Yes, I’m actually getting ready to just have fun and do nothing serious at all. I look forward to handing over the reins of this successful institution to somebody else. But of course it won’t be for a couple of years.
How did you end up at Boston College?
After five years in the Clinton administration, I came back to Boston. I was at that point 55 years old. I had irritated the banks because I had done a really big study on discrimination in mortgage lending that got a huge amount of attention. I had annoyed the insurance companies because I wrote on changing the taxation of pensions.
So three people from BC came and said, Would you like to have the Peter F. Drucker chair in management sciences? So, I said, ‘Yes, I don’t have any other alternatives. It just sounds wonderful.’
The more I said I don’t have any other alternatives, the more they said, ‘She’s so modest.’ I wasn’t being modest. I didn’t have options.
Your retirement center has done a lot of work on retirement assets. How much savings should a retiree have?
That depends on when you retire. For an average person, maybe 10 times their earnings.
How many Americans meet that test?
What we find is that roughly half of today’s current working population is prepared—meaning they have enough to maintain their current standard of living in retirement—and 50% are not prepared.
How much is the system to blame and how much are Americans to blame for undersaving?
It’s all the system. People need to have automatic savings mechanisms. And they don’t have them. Without that, it’s just unrealistic to ask people to save.
Was moving to 401(k)s and ditching private pensions a mistake?
Oh, I think it was a natural evolution to move away from defined-benefits plan. But no one would ever have designed a supplementary system that looks like 401(k)s because it leaves so much discretion to the individual. But the old-fashioned defined-benefit plan, I don’t think it would have continued to have worked. Because it really presumes that you stay with your employer throughout your work life, and the labor force has just become substantially more mobile. And with a defined-benefits plan, you really do forfeit benefits when you move midcareer.
Home prices are soaring. Could that be a retirement bailout for some?
For most middle-class people their house is their largest asset after their Social Security wealth. People could make their lives a lot easier by tapping their home equity in retirement. But people do not think that way. They want to preserve their home value either to leave as a bequest to their children or to have some protection in the case of expensive late-life long-term care. So they’re just very, very reluctant to touch their home.
How can that be changed?
Massachusetts and other states have property-tax deferral, but it needs to be made easier and available to everyone. And then when you die or you move the money that is deferred gets paid back with interest. If that were up and running for a broader swath of the population, that would be a way for people to use some of their home equity to provide for heat and medicines and things like that during retirement.
I was a fan for a long time of reverse mortgages, but that just seems to be too complicated for people. They don’t know how they work and they hate them simultaneously.
Fifteen years ago, you were worried a lot of baby boomers would not have enough money in retirement. Now a lot of them have retired. How has it worked out?
Just like we thought. They don’t have enough money in retirement.
So what are they doing?
You do what you have to do. You scrimp.
You’ve been talking about the retirement problem for a long time and, by some measures, it has gotten worse. Do you remain hopeful?
Yes, I’m always hopeful. Because it’s really not that hard to make things quite a bit better. We need to fix Social Security, and we can do that. That’s not rocket science. It’s just some political will.
We need to fix the 401(k)s. We know how to do that. We need to continue to get people to retire later. They’re already doing that.
We need to extend coverage, and we can do that through the auto IRA. So all this stuff can be done. It just needs someone to pay attention and do it.
Thank you, Alicia.

KARACHI: Former federal minister Ali Haider Zaidi on Saturday said that Pakistan’s achievement in completing the tough criteria set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) would not have been possible without the contribution from HBL Chairman Sultan Ali Allana.
In a major development on Friday, the international financial watchdog for combating money laundering and terrorist financing announced that Pakistan has “substantially completed its two action plans” and would be removed from the grey list after it passes the on-site visit stage.
The development was warmly welcomed by all sections of the society and those who worked tirelessly to achieve this herculean task were duly praised.
In this regard, the PTI leader took to Twitter to highlight the efforts of Sultan Ali Allana in making it possible.
“While many contributed brilliantly towards our success in FATF, I must specially acknowledge HBL Chairman Sultan Ali Allana, who hired and paid millions of dollars to top international consultants required to guide our Pakistan team in helping us get through FATF. Well done HBL Pakistan,” the minister said.
The HBL chairman, while speaking to Geo News, said that it was not just the funds that they provided that must be recognised.
“We identified the consultants, put the team together, made the templates for the work that had to be done, organised training sessions and participated in report content, etc.”
Allana said that all of the above and the resultant success could not have been possible without the unflinching support of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed, the then DG MO General Noman, and so many others who held the programme launch and oversaw its continuation together.
He also appreciated and gave credit to former PM Imran Khan for believing in his plan and to all those in his government who followed it and guided it to the completion stage.
“My sincere gratitude to all who gave me this opportunity to serve my country. It has been my privilege.” | https://www.geo.tv/latest/423061-fatf-progress-would-not-have-been-possible-without-hbl-chairmans-contribution-ali-zaidi | 2022-06-18T11:34:44Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/423061-fatf-progress-would-not-have-been-possible-without-hbl-chairmans-contribution-ali-zaidi | true | 1 |

On this day in 1983, Kapil Dev smashed 175 against Zimbabwe
London: On this day in 1983, legendary Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev delivered one of the finest performances of his career by smashing 175* against Zimbabwe in the 20th match of the World Cup that year. Team India was headed to the match against Zimbabwe after defeating West Indies in their first match, ending their eight-year-long unbeaten run in the cricketing marquee event. Momentum was on their side.

But the moment the Indian team took to the field after choosing to bat first, everything went wrong for them. The top order collapsed badly, with openers Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth scoring ducks. Mohinder Amarnath (5), Sandeep Patil (1), and Yashpal Sharma (9) also fell cheaply. Half of the side was back to the pavilion at a score of 17 and Team India was staring at a humiliating end to their inning and perhaps the match too.
Then came the 'Haryana Hurricane' Kapil Dev. Unfazed by the terror unleashed by Zimbabwe bowlers, the captain avenged every wicket lost each time he swung his bat. He took the opposition to the cleaners, smashing 175* off just 138 balls with 16 fours and six sixes.
During his stay at the crease, he got some much-needed support from Roger Binny (22), Madan Lal (17) and wicketkeeper-batter Syed Kirmani (24*), taking his side to a challenging 266/8 in their 50 overs. Dev had lifted his side from the very bottom and catapulted them to a challenging total. It was upto the bowlers to repay Dev for his efforts.

Indian bowlers did just that, taking wickets at regular intervals. Except for Kevin Curran (73) and Robin Brown (35), no one really delivered for Zimbabwe and India won the game by 31 runs. Madan Lal (3/42) and Roger Binny (2/45) were the picks of the bowlers for India. Dev won the 'Man of the Match' for his 175*, spell of 1/32 in 11 overs and two catches.

CHEYENNE — There could be a pathway for Wyoming politicians to be formally cleared to accept campaign contributions in the form of virtual currency – at least possibly if state officials go along with this suggestion.
During a hearing Tuesday morning of the Legislature’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation, several lawmakers suggested that Wyoming approve crypto campaign contributions.
Sens. Chris Rothfuss, D-Laramie, and Tara Nethercott, R-Cheyenne, noted that one approach could be for the value of a cryptocurrency political contribution to be pegged to the worth of the crypto at the time of the donation.
In comments to the livestreamed meeting in Sheridan of the panel, which is made up of members from both chambers of the Legislature, a witness from the Legislative Service Office summarized legislative efforts on crypto in states across the country.
LSO’s Emily Wangen described this as “one interesting trend that I noticed” in her research. She went on to say that some states have taken steps to authorize such political contributions, while others are headed in the opposite direction.
Here in Wyoming, legislators from both political parties said that one question would be how to value such crypto contributions. There seemed to be a general consensus, at least at this point in such considerations, around the current value at the time of the political donation.
Rothfuss wondered aloud whether there has been an analysis of how to govern or deal with such contributions in Wyoming.
“There should be no problem receiving cryptocurrency or virtual currency as a campaign contribution, in my expectation," he said.
His co-chairman of the blockchain panel, Rep. Jared Olsen, R-Cheyenne, responded that “value is probably the only question.”
Asked by Rothfuss for her opinion, Nethercott said “I think we should refrain from creating any legislation about it, at this point in time, and allow that to be managed with rules and regs.”
“How to value it is probably the question at hand, and probably likely at the time of receipt,” she said.
Rothfuss then suggested the Secretary of State’s Office could look into the issue.
“I’d expect the Secretary of State’s Elections Division to be responsible for this and to already have sufficient statutory authority – but maybe not the actual rules/ decisions in place,” the lawmaker later wrote in an email to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
A representative for that office was not available to comment when the WTE called.
Other states that have already cleared the way for crypto campaign donations appear to mostly stick with a currentvaluation approach, two experts told the WTE.
One of the experts noted that even before states had weighed in, the Federal Election Commission in 2014 issued a sort of advisory opinion.
Attorney Chris White from the Wiley law firm in Washington explained that the FEC guidance suggested that crypto contributions were allowed as a contribution in kind, and at the virtual currency’s current value.
The FEC “was somewhat way ahead of the curve,” White said by phone. “It’s only very recently that state regulators and state legislators have gotten into this.”
Some states that have allowed crypto political donations did so via regulators and without taking formal actions, White said.
Elsewhere, there have been regulatory proceedings or formal rulings, and in still other states, lawmakers are enacting new laws and not leaving it to government agencies to sort out.
An academic who studies the issue agreed that the current-valuation approach could make sense here in Wyoming.
“I believe the only practical approach is to value the donation at the time of the donation,” Professor Steven Lupien, of the University of Wyoming’s College of Business, wrote in an email to the WTE. “Otherwise, an appreciating asset may run afoul of election contribution limits.”
While crypto donations appear to be a small portion of overall campaign finance, it is a growing area of interest. A very low portion of donations to campaigns for federal office have been via virtual currencies, White said.
It is a “field of growing interest both for regulators and for campaigns,” he added.
The donations are “growing in size” with each election cycle, he noted. “But it’s definitely a minority of contributions.” | https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/crypto-campaign-contributions-could-be-allowed-in-wyoming/article_84bb466f-65b9-5505-af49-635f51105190.html | 2022-06-18T11:43:30Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/crypto-campaign-contributions-could-be-allowed-in-wyoming/article_84bb466f-65b9-5505-af49-635f51105190.html | true | 5 |

WACO, Texas, June 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Electric®, a Neighborly® company, a leading electrical installation and repair franchise, is shedding light on the importance of different practices and advice to ensure electrical home safety to kick off Lightning Safety Awareness Week, June 19-25, 2022.
According to The National Weather Service, about 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur in the United States each year, and can strike up to 25 miles away from its parent thunderstorm. In addition to this, journalist Nadine El-Bawab reports on behalf of The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that the forecast for hurricane season in the Atlantic is up to 21 named storms this year. With severity increasing, it's imperative for homeowners to be fully prepared.
"Our main goal during this week is not only to spread awareness, but to emphasize how important preventative measures are," said Joel Worthington, president of Mr. Electric. "Lightning safety can often get overlooked, which can often be detrimental. We encourage people to make a personal plan for their family and home before a disaster strikes."
Mr. Electric offers these tips during Lightning Safety Awareness Week:
- Surge Protectors: When a sudden increase in voltage occurs, like a lightning strike, surge protectors can safeguard your electrical devices by redirecting the excess voltage through the house's grounding path. Whole house surge protectors are a smart way to keep all your sensitive electronics and valuable appliances safe from electrical surge damage. However, surge protectors are only effective if your house has proper wiring and grounding. If you are unsure if your home is properly wired and grounded, contact Mr. Electric for an assessment.
- Unplug: Stay alert when a storm is headed your way, especially during storm season. This allows you to prepare properly and unplug anything you don't need during the storm. With an increase in voltage, you want to protect electrical devices by taking preventative measures and unplugging.
- Familiarize yourself with the Circuit Breaker: It's important to remember that electricity is dangerous to mess with, and even if you can figure out the problem, don't try to DIY electricity. Take the time to learn what each circuit breaker is designed to "trip," or shut itself off, at predetermined amperage loads. If this limit is reached, the act of the breaker tripping opens the circuit and prevents the flow of current to that particular electrical line or circuit. If you're experiencing constant trips, it could be an overloaded circuit, short circuit or a ground fault.
- Back up the Power: In the event you lose power in your home, a backup generator is a great way to ensure key appliances keep running while you're sheltering in place. With this level of uncertainty, a backup generator eliminates one less unknown stressor. With severe storms, you could be left without power for hours or days.
Minor electrical damage can lead to bigger issues. An electrical safety inspection of a home after a severe weather event can help catch any unseen issues. Contact your local Mr. Electric with any electrical safety needs and concerns.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he hopes Ukraine will be able to host next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, saying the country’s people “deserve to have it”.
The BBC is in talks with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) about hosting the event after the body ruled it could not go ahead in the war-torn country as planned.
The UK was runner-up in the 2022 contest, while Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra swept to victory after a symbolic show of public support saw them soar to first place with 631 points.
Nicola Sturgeon has said the next year’s Eurovision song contest could come to Glasgow.
The First Minister said the Scottish Government would be “happy to discuss” helping the corporation host the annual spectacular.
But speaking to reporters at RAF Brize Norton after returning from an unannounced visit to Kyiv, Mr Johnson said he believed it should be possible for the music contest to go ahead there, despite the ongoing conflict with Russia.
“I have just been to Kyiv. I won’t say it is completely jiving and buzzing and popping but it is far, far more lively. People are much more confident. People are out in the streets eating in cafes and restaurants in a way that they weren’t a even few weeks ago,” he said.
“The Ukrainians won the Eurovision Song Contest. I know we had a fantastic entry, I know we came second and I’d love it to be in this country.
“But the fact is that they won and they deserve to have it. I believe that they can have it and I believe that they should have it. I believe that Kyiv or any other safe Ukrainian city would be a fantastic place to have it.”
On Friday, the EBU announced that following a “full assessment and feasibility study” it had concluded the “security and operational guarantees” required to host the event in Ukraine could not be fulfilled by its public broadcaster, UA:PBC.
The channel, however, issued a statement claiming it had been “denied the right” to host the contest and called for negotiations on a new location to be put on hold.
Mykola Chernotytskyi, head of its managing board, said: “We are disappointed with this decision of the EBU.
“During this month, a large number of people in Ukraine have thrown all their efforts to fulfil the conditions for holding Eurovision in our country. Security is, of course, our first priority.
“The team of UA:PBC, state and local authorities did a thorough job and offered different options.
“It is a pity to see such an unappealable statement, therefore, we ask our partners to hold further negotiations.”
It comes after the UK’s Sam Ryder topped the jury vote in Turin in May but Kalush Orchestra went on to win overall following the public vote.
They had been the frontrunners since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February – which prompted organisers to ban the Russian entrant from competing.
Ukraine joined the international contest in 2003 and its three wins make it one of the most successful of the newer competitor countries, having also triumphed in 2004 and 2016.

Mikel Arteta says he is ‘delighted’ that Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has signed a new long-term contract at the club and been given Thierry Henry’s iconic shirt number.
Nketiah, who has been at Arsenal since the age of 14, has made 92 appearances for the first team, scoring 23 goals.
While he has largely struggled for game-time since making his Arsenal debut in 2017, Nketiah began to feature more regularly for the Gunners last season, starting the last eight league games and scoring five goals.
Nketiah could have an even greater role at the Emirates next season given the recent departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, although Arsenal still want to sign a new striker and are in talks with Manchester City over Brazil international Gabriel Jesus.
After confirming that Nketiah had put pen to paper on a new long-term contract, Arsenal announced he would wear the number 14 shirt made famous by Premier League legend Henry next season, having previously worn the number 30 shirt.
‘I’m delighted Eddie is staying with us,’ Arteta said. ‘He represents what we are all about and all the values of the club.
‘We are very happy that he has extended his contract and now we have to get to work and continue to develop the great talent and person that we have in him.’
Arsenal technical director Edu added: ‘The foundations of this squad are built on young talent and in particular those who have come through our academy system.
‘Eddie was released by another club as a young man but has always shown he has the attitude as well as the ability to become a top player.
‘The fact he’s signed a new contract is an important part of our squad planning for next season and we’re all delighted.’
Nketiah is the England Under-21s all-time top scorer with 16 goals in 17 appearances and captained the side that won the 2021 European Under-21 Championships.
