California is the land of dreams and extremes and nowhere is that more evident than in the state’s very low rate of homeownership.
Just 56% of California’s families live in homes they own, very slightly higher than New York’s lowest-in-the-nation 55% rate and nearly 10 percentage points behind the 65% national rate, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
“Homeownership has long been a central feature of the American dream,” PPIC’s research team writes. “It is the leading source of wealth for most families, and over the long run provides families with more stable and lower housing costs compared to renting. Yet — primarily because of the state’s high housing prices — homeownership is out of the reach of many Californians.”
That so few Californians live in their own homes should not be surprising. After all, the state has the nation’s highest rate of poverty and when the near-poor are added, more than a third of the state’s nearly 40 million residents live with financial distress, PPIC has calculated.
Moreover, the state’s median home price of $834,000 — nearly twice the national figure — means that only a quarter of California families can afford such a home, those with incomes of $160,000 and above.
In other words, homeownership is another of the many indices of California’s highly stratified society — one infinitely ironic for a state whose political leaders, particularly Gov. Gavin Newsom, tout it as a model of egalitarianism and social mobility that should be emulated elsewhere.
So what, if anything, could be done to increase wealth-building homeownership? Toni Atkins, the president pro tem of the state Senate, has made it a crusade, citing her personal history while proposing a new program.
“Owning a home was out of the question when I was growing up, so I was deeply proud when I was able to buy my 950-square-foot home in San Diego when I was in my 30s,” she said. “Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve that dream and invest in their families’ futures.”
Under her California Dream for All, the state would partner with some families to make down payments on home purchases and then recoup its investment when homes are later refinanced or sold.
Atkins’ program would join other state programs that already offer homeownership assistance. And while her sincerity is genuine, at best her proposal would help only an estimated 8,000 families in a state where about 7 million families are renters.
It’s typical of politicians’ approaches to social and economic disparity — create a new program with a catchy title that has little impact, if any, and sidesteps core issues.
California’s low rate of homeownership results from high levels of poverty and sky-high home prices. Throwing a few dollars at it doesn’t solve the problem and could even make it worse by enticing some families to buy homes they really cannot afford.
Fifteen years ago we saw the result of government policies trying to force feed home ownership. Lenders lowered their mortgage qualification standards, property appraisals were puffed up and when the housing bubble burst millions of new homeowners faced foreclosures and evictions. It almost destroyed the nation’s banking system and caused what came to be known as the Great Recession — with California hit harder than any other state.
California’s homeownership rates will rise when the state improves its economic fundamentals — when it removes impediments to housing construction, makes itself more welcoming to investment in middle-income jobs and improves educational outcomes of poor children.
Tokenism such as Atkins’ mortgage assistance program is feel-good governance that doesn’t change anything.

Spain, Germany battle wildfires amid unusual heat wave
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Firefighters in Spain and Germany struggled to contain wildfires on Sunday amid an unusual heat wave in Western Europe for this time of year.
The worst damage in Spain has been in the northwest province of Zamora, where over 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) have been consumed, regional authorities said, while German officials said that residents of three villages near Berlin were ordered to leave their homes because of an approaching wildfire Sunday.
Spanish authorities said that after three days of high temperatures, high winds and low humidity, some respite came with dropping temperatures Sunday morning. That allowed for about 650 firefighters supported by water-dumping aircraft to establish a perimeter around the fire that started in Zamora’s Sierra de la Culebra. Authorities warned there was still danger that an unfavorable shift in weather could revive the blaze that caused the evacuation of 18 villages.
Spain has been on alert for an outbreak of intense wildfires as the country swelters under record temperatures at many points in the country for June. Experts link the abnormally hot period for Europe to climate change. Thermometers have risen above 40 C (104 F) in many Spanish cities throughout the week — temperatures usually expected in August.
A lack of rainfall this year combined with gusting winds have produced the conditions for the fires.
Authorities said that gusting winds of up 70 kph (43 mph) that changed course erratically, combined with temperatures near 40 C, made it very tough for crews.
“The fire was able to cross a reservoir some 500 meters wide and reach the other side, to give you an idea of the difficulties we faced,” Juan Suárez-Quiñones, an official for Castilla y León region, told Spanish state television TVE.
The fire in Zamora was started by a strike from an electrical storm on Wednesday, authorities said. The spreading fire caused the high-speed train service from Madrid to Spain’s northwest to be cut on Saturday. It was reestablished on Sunday morning.
Military firefighting units have been deployed in Zamora, Navarra and Lleida.
There have been no reports of lives lost, but the flames reached the outskirts of some villages both in Zamora and in Navarra. Videos shot by passengers in cars showed flames licking the sides of roads. In other villages, residents looked on in despair as black plumes rose from nearby hills.
In central-north Navarra, authorities have evacuated some 15 small villages as a precaution, as the high temperatures in the area are not expected to drop until Wednesday.
They also asked farmers to stop using heavy machinery that could unintentionally spark a fire.
“The situation remains delicate. We have various active fires due to the extremely high temperatures and high winds,” Navarra regional vice-president Javier Remírez told TVE.
Remírez said that some villages had seen some buildings damaged on their outskirts.
Some wild animals had to be evacuated from an animal park in Navarra and taken to a bull ring for safe keeping, authorities said.
Wildfires were also active in three parts of northeast Catalonia: in Lleida, in Tarragona and in a nature park in Garaf, just south of Barcelona.
Firefighters said that 2,700 hectares (6,600 acres) were scorched in Lleida. They added that they have responded to over 200 different wildfires just in Catalonia over the past week.
Germany has also seen numerous wildfires in recent days following a period of intense heat and little rain. The country’s national weather agency said the mercury reached 39.2 C (102.6 F) in the eastern cities of Dresden and Cottbus on Sunday.
Strong winds have been fanning a blaze near the town of Treuenbrietzen, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of Berlin, prompting officials to order three villages evacuated Sunday.
About 600 people in Frohnsdorf, Tiefenbrunnen and Klausdorf were told to immediately seek shelter at a community center.
“This is not a drill,” town officials tweeted.
More than 1,400 firefighters, soldiers and civil defense experts were deployed to tackle the blaze, which also affected a former military training area known to be contaminated with ammunition.
Officials expressed hope late Sunday that thunderstorms moving in from the west would help put out the fires.

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance was projected to lose its majority despite getting the most seats in the final round of parliamentary elections Sunday, while the far-right National Rally appeared to have made big gains.
The projections, which are based on partial results, say Macron’s candidates would win between 230 and 250 seats — much less than the 289 required to have a straight majority at the National Assembly, France’s most powerful house of parliament.
The situation, which is highly unusual in France, is expected to make Macron’s political maneuvering difficult if the projections are borne out.
A new coalition — made up of the hard left, the Socialists and the Greens — is expected to become the main opposition force with about 140 to 160 seats.
The National Rally is projected to register a huge surge with potentially more than 80 seats, up from eight before. Polling was held nationwide to select the 577 members of the National Assembly.
The strong performance of both the National Rally and the leftist coalition called Nupes, led by hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, is expected to make it harder for Macron to implement the agenda he was reelected on in May, including tax cuts and raising France’s retirement age from 62 to 65.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the “unprecedented” situation “is a risk to our country faced with challenges at the national level as well as at the international scale.”
“As the central force in that new Assembly … we will work, as of tomorrow, to build an action-oriented majority,” she said.
“There’s no alternative but gathering to guarantee our country some stability and lead the necessary reforms,” she added.
Borne, who herself won a seat in western France, suggested Macron’s centrist alliance will seek to get support from lawmakers from diverse political forces to find “good compromises.”
The National Rally’s leader, Marine Le Pen, who lost to Macron in the presidential election, was reelected as MP in her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont, in northern France.
“The Macron adventure has reached its end,” Le Pen said. The group of National Rally lawmakers “will be by far the biggest of the history of our political family.”
Acting National Rally president Jordan Bardella compared his party’s showing to a “tsunami.” “Tonight’s message is that the French people made from Emmanuel Macron a minority president,” he said on TF1 television.
“It’s the electoral failure of the ‘Macronie’,” Mélenchon said, criticizing “a moral failure of those people who lectured everyone non-stop and said they would block the far-right, and the main result is that they reinforced it.
Macron’s government will still have the ability to rule, but only by bargaining with legislators. The centrists could try to negotiate on a case by case basis with lawmakers from the center-left and from the conservative party — with the goal of preventing opposition lawmakers from being numerous enough to reject the proposed measures.
The government could also occasionally use a special measure provided by the French Constitution to adopt a law without a vote.
Government spokesperson Olivia Grégoire said on France 2 television that “we’ve known better evenings.”
“This is a disappointing top position, but still a top position,” she said.
“We are holding out a helping hand to all those who are OK to make that country move forward,” she said, notably referring to The Republicans party, which is expected to have less seats than the far-right.
A similar situation happened in 1988 under Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, who then had to seek support from the Communists or the centrists to pass laws.
These parliamentary elections have once again largely been defined by voter apathy — with over half the electorate staying home.
Audrey Paillet, 19, who cast her ballot in Boussy-Saint-Antoine in southeastern Paris, was saddened that so few people turned out.
“Some people have fought to vote. It is too bad that most of the young people don’t do that,” she said.
Macron had made a powerfully choreographed plea to voters earlier this week from the tarmac ahead of a trip to Romania and Ukraine, warning that an inconclusive election, or hung parliament, would put the nation in danger.
“In these troubled times, the choice you’ll make this Sunday is more crucial than ever,” he said Tuesday, with the presidential plane waiting starkly in the background ahead of a visit to French troops stationed near Ukraine. “Nothing would be worse than adding French disorder to the world’s disorder,” he said.
Some voters agreed, and argued against choosing candidates on the political extremes who have been gaining popularity. Others argued that the French system, which grants broad power to the president, should give more voice to the multi-faceted parliament and function with more checks on the presidential Elysee palace and its occupant.
“I’m not afraid to have a National Assembly that’s more split up among different parties. I’m hoping for a regime that’s more parliamentarian and less presidential, like you can have in other countries,” said Simon Nouis, an engineer voting in southern Paris.
At the Nupes’ headquarters in Paris on Sunday evening, Pierre Migozzi, a leftist supporter, said the results show French politics have been rekindled.
“There is a divide between people who want to guarantee the established order (Macron), people against free-market policies who want a new world turned toward the youth (Nupes), and people who recognize themselves in the National Rally’s motto of being the party of the people,” he said.
The 26-year-old, who grew up in central France, expressed concern about the far-right’s results, saying the National Rally “is not an answer” to the issues of France’s suburbs and rural areas.

TSHABA’S EYE
Soweto residents in despair after more delays and confusion over Social Relief of Distress grant
Ten million South Africans have not received their R350 relief grant in two months. They had hoped that once the grant was eventually paid, they would have at least R700 in their accounts to buy groceries. But they are still waiting – and hungry.
When President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that qualifying South Africans will soon receive delayed payments of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant there was hope for struggling families. But hope has turned to despair as they have not received any funds.
Many had gone to their local stores to withdraw money, only to find nothing in their accounts.
Maverick Citizen asked Sowetans people on the streets of Orlando and Diepkloof whether they had received their grants.
Thandeka Mthimkhulu is a 39-year-old Orlando resident. She looks for odd jobs as a cleaner in her area.
“Before work, I went to one of the stores where the government told us to go and get our money. Because we are no longer getting our money at the Post Office. The only money I got was R350. I asked the lady who was helping me why the money was short of another R350 [which should have been paid in May].
“The lady told me that that was the only money in my name.
“I don’t know what to say. I’m disappointed in our government. Just imagine: I waited for two months hoping that I would get two months’ money. I promised my family that I will contribute something when I get the double money, which is R700.
“You know it’s better if you know that you don’t have money at all. That is understandable. But if you get promises but only to find out those are empty promises that hurts a lot in my heart. The government money helps me a lot because I have kids. I would be better off if I don’t have kids. I hate to be poor because now I’m a burden to other people,’’ said Mthimkhulu.
Sphiwe (not his real name), is a 26-year-old Diepkloof resident.
“I need that money, my brother,” he told Maverick Citizen. But I’m disappointed [that] I didn’t get it. I thought I would have it, from the outstanding money that we are owed by the government. I don’t know when I will get it.
“Each and every cent is important in these difficult times. I’m a hustler so the R350 money helps me a lot. What I can say to the government is that they must stop disappointing the people,’’ said Sphiwe.
Eddy Molebatsi, 34, is from Diepkloof. “My friend, I don’t know what to say. I’m losing hope now. I thought I would have my money by now. I have to walk up and down to check if the money is in.
“I’m just praying to get the R350. I don’t care about the other outstanding money. The president should be honest to us if he can’t pay us or what. Every time I go to a store, the money is pending,’’ said Molebatsi.
Lebo Tshabuza is aged 29 and also from Orlando. “I thought it was a joke when I [received] only R350, because I was hoping for more money. It’s a good thing to have support from the government. But it’s not nice when they drop us like that. Some people are saying the R350 grant will be cancelled and those who got the money [won’t received grants again].
“There are no jobs in South Africa, I’m looking for work every day. I have no luck. It’s difficult. I can do any type of work. I have nowhere to go. Maybe one day I will wake up with an SMS that the other outstanding R350 is in.
“Complaining that the money is too little doesn’t help in these difficult times. I need any money that puts food on my table. I pray that everything will be back to normal. I need the grant money.”
Khauhelo Moshoeshoe is 22-years-old and from Diepkloof. “I finished my grade 12 in 2017. My dream was like other kids that after finishing school I would have a job and help my mother at home. But things went the other way. I stayed at home doing nothing for two years.
“In the third year I got a small job at a call centre for a year. I was lucky to have that job, because we know in our country it is very painful and difficult to get a job. That job helped me a lot to upgrade my CV. It pains me to see other kids struggling, while they are educated.
“When the government came up with an idea for a R350 grant I was happy because it will help our youth and other people. The money was helping a lot during the lockdown because the whole country was in distress. If it weren’t for the R350 grant, families would have starved to death in their homes.
“But the ball just dropped like that. Our youth has no support. The grant stopped with no notice. For two months, with no grant, it is a painful thing [for] people. Because to some people it was only income they have.
“When the president announced the grant would be back, hope was restored in our community. It was painful and a disgrace when people were not getting their money. Because everyone was having plans about the money.
“Where [is] the money? Why are other people getting it and others not getting it? In this country are we not equal, or are some better than others? South Africans are going out in numbers to vote. But at the end of the day our government is abandoning its people like that,” said Moshoeshoe.
The question is where the money is. Because the people deserve to be paid. We are talking about humans not animals. Even animals don’t deserve to be treated like this. People are not impressed by promises and untruthful speeches. South Africans just need action and honesty from their government. DM/MC

Mookie Betts is hoping that his latest stint of the injured list only lasts a couple weeks.
The Dodgers star outfielder is sidelined due to a cracked right rib. It his his third stint on the IL the past two seasons.
“It’s sore but it is what it is," Betts said Sunday before the Dodgers faced the Cleveland Guardians. "I thought it was a little bruise or something and played through it. It got worse over the next couple days and now we’re sitting here.”
Betts was injured during the first inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels when he collided with Cody Bellinger in the outfield on a fly ball. Betts played the rest of that game but was scratched from the lineup on Friday and Saturday.
“With the crowd and both of us yelling I didn’t hear him (call me off),” Betts said about the play. “You don’t want to take your eye off the ball,. It shouldn’t have happened but it was one of those plays where we both could have caught it. It would have been worse if no one caught it and it dropped.”
Manager Dave Roberts called the collision unfortunate and also agreed that it shouldn't have happened.
Betts said he didn't think he further aggravated the injury when he made a leaping dive on a line drive by Shohei Ohtani in the ninth inning to try and preserve Tyler Anderson's no-hitter. Betts wasn't able to get to it in time and it resulted in a double.
The 2018 AL MVP and Dodgers’ leadoff hitter is tied for third in the majors with 53 runs scored and has 17 home runs, which is tied for fourth in the NL. Los Angeles is 29-7 when he scores a run.
Betts missed 22 games last season due to right hip inflammation. He will not do any baseball activities for a week before beginning to work his way back.
Zach McKinstry was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Bellinger's spot.

US stocks have closed with a modest bounce but still suffered the biggest weekly percentage decline in months as investors wrestled with the growing likelihood of a recession as global central banks try to stamp out inflation.
Stubbornly high inflation has unnerved investors this year as the US Federal Reserve and most major central banks have begun to pivot from easy monetary policies to tightening measures which will slow the economy, possibly causing a recession, and potentially dent corporate earnings.
Each of the three major Wall Street indexes fell the third week in a row.

The benchmark S&P 500 index suffered its biggest weekly percentage drop since January.
"Right now you are going to see a lot of volatility and it is primarily going to be because of the fact the Fed is going to be front-end loading all these rates hikes and just trying to gauge the inflation picture and it is very clouded right now," said Megan Horneman, director of portfolio strategy at Verdence Capital Advisors in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
"Just expect volatility, it is here to stay, it is going to be here until we get a little bit more clarity on have we really reached peak inflation."
The S&P 500 gained 7.07 points, or 0.19 per cent, to end at 3,673.84 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 149.11 points, or 1.39 per cent, to 10,795.21 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 47.13 points, or 0.16 per cent, to 29,879.94.
The benchmark S&P index has slumped about 23 per cent year-to-date and recently confirmed a bear market began on January 3.
The Dow Industrials was on the cusp of confirming its own bear market.
Stocks rallied on Wednesday after the Fed raised its key rate by 75 basis points, the biggest hike in nearly three decades, while the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank also raised borrowing costs.
On Friday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell once again stressed the central bank's focus on bringing back inflation to its 2.0 per cent target while speaking at a conference.
Economic data on Friday showed production at US factories fell unexpectedly in the latest indication economic activity was on the wane.
Gains were led by the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors, which have been among the worst performing of the 11 major groups on the year.
In contrast, energy, the year's best performing sector, fell sharply and was on pace for its biggest weekly percentage drop since March 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic plunge, on concerns a slowing global economy could sap demand for crude oil.
Also contributing to choppy trading was the expiration of monthly and quarterly options contracts ahead of the Juneteenth market holiday on Monday.

Spanish PM Set For Drubbing In Andalusia Regional Election

Seville, Spain, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Jun, 2022 ) :Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists appeared to have suffered a drubbing in a regional vote in Andalusia on Sunday ahead of a national election expected at the end of next year.
According to a poll carried out over the past week by GAD3, released after polling stations closed at 8 pm (1800 GMT), the incumbent conservative Popular Party (PP) won by a landslide, capturing 58-61 seats in the 109-seat Andalusian regional parliament.
That would give the party its first ever absolute majority in Spain's most populous region and prevent it from having to govern in alliance with far-right party Vox, which captured 13-15 seats according to the poll.
The Socialists were set to win 26-30 seats, which would be its worst ever result in their former stronghold which they governed without interruption between 1982 and 2018 when the PP ousted them from office.
A scandal over the misuse of public funds intended to fight unemployment was blamed for the party's loss of support in the last election in 2018 in the region of around 8.5 million people.
Final official results were expected later on Sunday.
- 'Uphill battle' - If the poll is correct, this will be the Socialists' third consecutive regional election loss to the PP after votes in Madrid in May 2021 and Castilla y Leon in February.
Sanchez's leftist coalition government has been struggling to deal with the economic fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has fuelled inflation worldwide, especially through increasing energy prices.
Losing in Andalusia would be a "severe blow" for the Socialists and would mean "Sanchez might face an uphill battle to get re-elected" next year, said Antonio Barroso, an analyst at political consultancy Teneo.
"The PP seems to be gaining increasing momentum, and voter concerns about inflation might only make it more challenging for Sanchez to sell his government's achievements in the next legislative election," he added.
Spain's inflation rate hit 8.7 percent in May, its highest level in decades.
Sanchez's government has rolled out a swathe of measures to help consumers, including a subsidy on fuel prices at the pump, an increase in the minimum wage, direct grants to truck drivers and financial support for some farmers.
The PP has governed Andalusia -- known for its popular Costa del Sol beach resorts -- since 2018 in a coalition with smaller centre-right party Ciudadanos which the polls suggests did not get enough votes to win a single seat this time around.
- 'Sensible alternative' - Vox had warned that if the PP failed to get an absolute majority, it would demand to enter into government with the PP in exchange for the latter's support.
Until now, Vox has supported the PP in Andalusia but from outside government.
During the campaign the head of the PP in Andalusia, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, had urged voters to deliver him a "strong" government that is not "weighed down" by Vox.
Vox entered a regional government in Spain for the first time since the country returned to democracy in the 1970s in the central Castilla and Leon region earlier this year.
Any deal with Vox in Andalusia would complicate efforts by the PP's new national leader, Alberto Nunez Feijoo, to project a more moderate image.
The PP has sought to present itself in Andalusia as a centrist "sensible alternative", University of Granada political science professor Oscar Garcia Luengo told AFP.
The strategy appears to be working as the party is poised to win the support of nearly 17 percent of voters who cast their ballot for the Socialists in 2018, according to a survey published in daily newspaper El Mundo.

Bitcoin-boosting Salvadoran leader asks for patience
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — El Salvador’s Bitcoin-boosting president has asked people to be patient after the price of the cryptocurrency fell below $20,000 — less than half the price the government paid.
According to the tracking site nayibtracker.com, El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele’s administration has spent about $105 million on Bitcoin, starting last September and paying an average of almost $46,000 per coin.
The value of that investment in the currency, also known as “BTC,” is now calculated to have fallen by over 57%, or around $61 million.
“I see that some people are worried or anxious about the #Bitcoin market price,” Bukele wrote in his Twitter account late Saturday. “My advice: stop looking at the graph and enjoy life. If you invested in #BTC your investment is safe and its value will immensely grow after the bear market.”
“Patience is the key,” the president wrote.
On Tuesday, when a Bitcoin publication crowed that El Salvador has lost “only” $40 million on its investment, Bukele tweeted with apparent incredulity: “You’re telling me we should buy more #BTC?”
Bukele became the first leader in the world to make the cryptocurrency legal tender last year and was a devoted booster at least up to May, when he boasted of “buying the dip” in the currency’s price. But the coin has slid further since then.
Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya sought to put a good face on the situation Wednesday in an interview with a local television station, saying that because El Salvador hasn’t sold any of its Bitcoins, it hasn’t really suffered any loss.
“When they tell me that El Salvador’s budgetary risk has increased because of the supposed loss, that loss doesn’t exist,” Zelaya said. “That must be made clear, because we have not sold.”
However, most companies and governments do write down the value of what accountants call an “unrealized loss,” even if they don’t sell the distressed asset.
Zelaya also insisted the Bitcoin slide doesn’t matter very much for El Salvador, saying that “this doesn’t even represent 0.5% of our budget.”
That might prove a hard sell in a country where about one-fifth of the people live on less than $5.50 per day.
In January, El Salvador rejected a recommendation by the International Monetary Fund to drop Bitcoin as legal tender.
Zelaya said at the time that “no international organization is going to make us do anything, anything at all,” calling it an issue of “sovereignty.”
The IMF recommended that El Salvador dissolve the $150 million trust fund it created when it made the cryptocurrency legal tender and return any of those unused funds to its treasury.
The IMF cited concerns about the volatility of Bitcoin prices, and the possibility of criminals using the cryptocurrency.
Bukele has touted Bitcoin as a way to significantly increase financial inclusion, drawing millions of people who previously lacked bank accounts into the financial system. He has also spoken of the parallel tourism promotion targeting Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Bukele led the push to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar. El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly made the country the first to do so in June 2021. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/06/19/bitcoin-boosting-salvadoran-leader-asks-for-patience/ | 2022-06-19T22:03:44Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/06/19/bitcoin-boosting-salvadoran-leader-asks-for-patience/ | false | 41 |
(The Hill) – Tensions between the Justice Department and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee have slipped into public view amid the panel’s first public hearings for its investigation.
A standoff between the parallel probes over the committee’s refusal to share its interview transcripts led federal prosecutors this week to agree to postpone the trial date for a group of Proud Boys leaders charged with seditious conspiracy.
And as lawmakers present compelling evidence of criminality in the effort to overturn the 2020 election, the hearings are adding fuel to the looming question of whether the Justice Department is adequately investigating those concerns.
In a letter sent Wednesday to the select committee’s chief investigative counsel, the heads of the DOJ’s national security and criminal divisions and the U.S. attorney for D.C. renewed their request for the lawmakers to share transcripts for all of their witness interviews.
“The Select Committee’s failure to grant the Department access to these transcripts complicates the Department’s ability to investigate and prosecute those who engaged in criminal conduct in relation to the January 6 attack on the Capitol,” the letter reads. “Accordingly, we renew our request that the Select Committee provide us with copies of the transcripts of all the interviews it has conducted to date.”
The committee has indicated that it plans to release its transcripts in September, and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the panel’s chairman, said this week that he does not intend to disrupt his own investigation by accelerating that timeline.
“We will work with them, but we have a report to do,” Thompson told reporters on Thursday. “We are not gonna stop what we’re doing to share the information that we’ve gotten so far with the Department of Justice. We have to do our work.”
The most recent episode in the standoff, which first emerged last month, is just the latest sign of tension between the two branches’ inquiries into the Jan. 6 attack.
The strained relationship was also apparent as the department for months dragged its feet in acting on the House’s criminal referrals of two former Trump aides – White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and social media director Dan Scavino – for refusing to comply with select committee subpoenas.
The Justice Department ultimately declined to charge Meadows and Scavino with contempt, provoking an angry response from the panel.
Now, as the committee is presenting its public case against former President Trump and his inner circle for trying to overturn the 2020 election, the series of hearings thus far appear designed to pressure the department into taking action by holding the leaders of the schemes accountable.
And for some critics who think the Justice Department has been lagging in investigating the Trump White House’s potential criminal liability, the hearings have shown a stark disparity in the parallel probes.
“In a way, the structure of these hearings, the product of these hearings, has kind of been an indictment of the DOJ,” said Ankush Khardori, a former federal prosecutor who handled major fraud cases at the department. “DOJ could have been doing this stuff itself.”
“And I think some people in the public are probably scratching their head saying like, ‘Why are these questions coming from Congress about whether Trump was lying for months about election fraud? … And why am I learning these damning facts, that would seem highly relevant to a criminal investigation of the White House, from Congress?’”
The Justice Department suggested in its letter this week that by denying federal prosecutors access to interview transcripts, the select committee has hindered its ability to conduct the sort of high-level investigations and prosecutions that the lawmakers have been calling for.
While it’s unclear whether the department is pursuing any investigations into the select committee’s most high-profile witnesses, their effort to obtain the transcripts is likely more driven by the ongoing prosecutions implicated by the legislative probe.
Prosecutors said the standoff forced them to agree to delay the criminal trial for the group of Proud Boys charged with seditious conspiracy.
“DOJ has good arguments for why they need these interviews,” said Danya Perry, a former federal prosecutor and deputy state attorney general in New York.
Perry said it doesn’t necessarily indicate that prosecutors are looking for information for ongoing investigations or to open new ones, but rather for active prosecutions where defendants believe the transcripts could provide exculpatory evidence.
“[Federal prosecutors] don’t technically have an obligation to go out of their way to get this information and provide it but, as a practical matter, they may feel it’s best practice,” she said. “But it’s not unreasonable for the committee to be dragging its feet, in terms of not turning over these transcripts until the end of their hearings.”
The select committee has expressed reservations about providing the executive branch with unfettered access to its work product before it’s made public. One concern might be that complying with the expansive request would make it appear that the two entities are colluding in a political manner, damaging public perceptions of both investigations.
One member of the select committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), said last month that the panel would be more amenable to providing access to its records if the DOJ were to explain what it was looking for.
“I think they need to be specific about what they need and why they need it,” Schiff said. “And the failure to do so raises the same questions about the scope of their investigation and why it is more than a year after Jan. 6 some things still don’t seem to be investigated by the department.”
“The department doesn’t wait on Congress to do an investigation. And so I think the question is: Why is the department coming to Congress at this point? Why hasn’t the department been doing a broader investigation from the beginning?” | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/signs-of-tension-rise-between-justice-jan-6-panel/ | 2022-06-19T22:06:58Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/signs-of-tension-rise-between-justice-jan-6-panel/ | true | 23 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they may subpoena former Vice President Mike Pence and are waiting to hear from Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, about her role in the illegal plot to overturn the 2020 election.
Lawmakers indicated they will release more evidence about Donald Trump’s alleged effort to defraud supporters by fundraising off false claims of a stolen presidential election. They also pledged to provide pertinent material to the Justice Department by the end of the month for its criminal investigation. The department complained in a letter last week that the committee was complicating its investigation by not sharing transcripts from its 1,000 interviews.
“We’re not taking anything off the table in terms of witnesses who have not yet testified,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, who described a Pence subpoena as “certainly a possibility.”
“We would still, I think, like to have several high-profile people come before our committee,” said Schiff, D-Calif.
For example, the committee has been able to document most of Trump’s end of his call to Pence on the morning of the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, when the then-president made his final plea for Pence to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory when Pence presided over the Electoral College count in Congress. Members have not yet documented directly what Pence said in response.
The committee chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., recently said the committee was still “engaging” with Pence’s lawyers, while also suggesting it may not be necessary for him to appear because of testimony from many of Pence’s closest aides.
Committee members also hope to learn more about Ginni Thomas’ own effort to keep Trump in office and the potential conflicts of interest posed on her husband as a result on Jan. 6 cases that come before the Supreme Court.
Republican state Rep. Rusty Bowers, the Arizona House speaker, is scheduled to testify at the committee’s hearing Tuesday focusing on state officials who were contacted by Trump and the White House as Trump tried to overturn the results. Bowers is likely to be asked about emails he received from Thomas urging him and other state officials to set aside Biden’s 2020 win and choose their own set of electors.
“We have questions for her and we may have questions for him as well,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.
Thomas has publicly indicated that she “can’t wait” to appear before the committee after receiving their request by letter last week.
Along with emailing Arizona officials, Thomas, who attended a rally Trump held just before the Capitol riot, also had written to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in the weeks after the election encouraging him to work to overturn Biden’s victory. Emails recently obtained by the committee also show Thomas had email communications with John Eastman, the lawyer who played a key role on behalf of Trump in efforts to pressure Pence to overturn the election.
“I think the committee will be interested, in among other things, whether this was discussed with Justice Thomas, given that he was ruling on cases impacting whether we would get some of this information,” Schiff said.
This past January, Thomas was the lone member of the court who supported a bid by Trump to withhold documents from the Jan 6. committee.
Lofgren said the committee would release additional evidence it has gathered on the “big rip off,” in which the committee alleges Trump may have committed fraud by fundraising by making a false claim the election was stolen.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said that in the end, the public will have a clear picture of a “failure of the oath” by Trump.
“I think what we’re presenting before the American people certainly would rise to a level of criminal involvement by a president,” he said.
Kinzinger also said that he and his family have received threats because of his role on the committee. He spoke of his concern that “there’s violence in the future. … And until we get a grip on telling people the truth, we can’t expect any differently.”
Schiff appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Lofgren was on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and Kinzinger spoke on ABC’s “This Week.”

MONTREAL (AP) — Max Verstappen maintained his hold on the Formula One championship fight by holding off a late challenge from Carlos Sainz Jr. to earn his sixth win of the season in a fairly easy Sunday drive in the Canadian Grand Prix.
Verstappen won from the pole at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to extend his lead in the standings to 46 points over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, who retired early with a gearbox issue.
“It's still a very long way to go and I know the gap of course is quite big, but I also know that can switch around very quickly,” Verstappen said of his points lead. He noted he trailed Charles Leclerc by 46 points following the third race of the season.
The Dutchman had no trouble clearing Fernando Alonso, who earned his first front-row start in a decade then joked he'd attack Verstappen in the first turn to steal the victory.
But there was no challenge and by the time Sainz cleared Alonso for second on Lap 2, Verstappen had already built a lead of 2.4 seconds. Sainz was able to close the gap over the final 10 laps and pressured the reigning F1 champion but faded on the last lap and finished .993 seconds behind in his Ferrari.
“It was good racing, it is always more enjoyable to be able to really push rather than just save your tires,” said Verstappen, who added Sainz didn't have “a go in terms overtaking, but it was super close.”
Sainz said second was the best he could get on Sunday.
“When I gave it all, I was risking everything,” Sainz said. “I can tell you I was pushing. I left everything out there. For the first time this season I can say I was fastest man on track, which gives me confidence and some hope for the next races.”
Mercedes had a tremendous rebound from its season-long struggles, which included a terrible Friday practice, as seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton scored his first podium since the season-opening race in March. George Russell was fourth as Hamilton beat his new teammate for just the second time in nine races this season.
“It feels great to be amongst the battle and at the end there I was keeping up with these guys. It does give me and the team a lot of hope," Hamilton said. “The potential is truly there if we can get the setup right and I think that's been the most difficult thing this year.”
Hamilton received a rousing ovation after his finish and said he had no problems with his back, which has been plaguing him all season because of how the new Mercedes bounces all over the track.
“It's good, I'm back to being young,” said the 37-year-old. But he added “we still had bouncing, but it's night and day the difference.”
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the team had raised the ride height on its cars to make them more drivable and eliminate the “porpoising” effect that has bogged down Hamilton and Russell all season. The bouncing has caused back pain and headaches for its drivers.
“The (wind) tunnel has told us that the lower the car, the faster you go, the more ground effect it will have," Wolff said. "But in effect, you can't drive the car there so you need to lift it, and lift it, and lift it, and then on paper you are losing half a second or so in downforce.
“We raised it already (Saturday) but the more you raise, the more performance you lose. So it's always a compromise.”
Verstappen, meanwhile, has now won six of the first nine races in his title defense season.
It was Verstappen's first win in Montreal, which F1 said hosted a record 338,000 spectators over the three-day weekend as the series returned to Canada after a two-year pause during the pandemic. The Sunday crowd was treated to clear, sunny skies after two days of rain that upended qualifying and created the slick track that allowed Alonso — and other drivers, including Hamilton — to earn their top starting spots this year.
Leclerc rallied from a 10-place grid penalty for changing the engine in his Ferrari to finish fifth from 19th. Estaban Ocon of Alpine finished sixth and teammate Alonso, who said he'd be pleased with a fifth-place finish, was seventh but penalized five-seconds after the race for weaving.
That dropped Alonso to ninth, while Valtteri Bottas of Alfa Romeo moved to seventh. Bottas was followed by rookie teammate Zhou Guanyu, who was moved to eighth after the Alonso penalty and finished in the points for the second time this season. Canadian driver Lance Stroll of Aston Martin was 10th.
Perez exited the race after just nine laps with a gearbox issue, the fourth Red Bull mechanical failure this season between Perez and Verstappen. Eleven laps later, Mick Schumacher came to a stop on track — ending the Haas driver's bid to score his first F1 points.
Haas had equaled its best qualifying effort in team history a day earlier when Kevin Magnussen and Schumacher qualified fifth and sixth, but the team failed to convert. Magnussen damaged his front wing on the opening lap and finished 17th.
“I feel like we built the cake, but we just didn’t get to put the frosting on it,” Schumacher said.
Toronto native Nicholas Latifi, who has admitted his seat at Williams is not secure, was 16th in his first career home grand prix.
“It’s great to finally have my first home race and the support I felt from my family, friends and all the fans in the grandstands was amazing,” said Latifi. “In terms of on track, we were lacking a lot of pace and we need to try to understand why. Regardless of the result, this weekend has been one to remember.”
UP NEXT: The British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 3. Hamilton won a year ago in what's considered the Brit's home race.

Wilfred Ndidi will be available to return to action with Leicester City when pre-season gets underway following the midfielder’s full recovery from a knee injury.
Ndidi suffered the knee injury in March and required surgery, which ruled him out of the remainder of the 2021/22 season.
During his rehabilitation, the midfielder missed 17 games for Leicester City alone in the process.

French Cameroun: Eight abducted in North region
At least eight people have been kidnapped in Cameroon’s North region, according to local and security sources.
They were kidnapped overnight into Sunday in Baoudi, a locality in Mayo-Rey division of the region, a security official who opted for anonymity told Xinhua.
“Among those kidnapped were women. Gunmen raided the locality and rounded them up. The villagers were helpless and could not resist them,” the official said.
Mayo-Rey division has been plagued by rampant abductions in the last two months.
At least 30 people including women and children have been kidnapped in the locality since May, according to security reports.

Skelton earns an ignominious piece of rugby history
By Georgina Robinson and AAP
Wallabies giant Will Skelton has made an unwelcome piece of rugby history by becoming the first player to be sent off while playing for the Barbarians.
Yet the Australian’s first-half dismissal in Sunday’s non-cap international at Twickenham still didn’t stop the French-dominated invitation side offering Eddie Jones’ England a humbling 52-21 defeat on their home patch.
Skelton became the first player in the Baa-Baas’ 132-year history to get his marching orders, after his shoulder to the head of Patrick Schickerling in the 37th minute forced the Exeter prop out of the match over a failed head injury assessment.
Yet even when having to play 43 minutes with only 14 men, Fabien Galthie’s side, featuring Les Bleus players who’d shone in their Six Nations grand slam triumph, offered England a humbling loss before their tour to Australia.
Eddie Jones had put some youthful faces into the fray but, even given the experimental feel to the line-up, the defeat was a fairly humiliating one – their biggest defeat to the Baa-baas, even though they’d played more than one half with a man advantage.
Skelton deservedly got sent off after Schickerling had knocked the ball on around England’s 22 and the La Rochelle second-rower shouldered the prop carelessly.
Officials ruled it was a sending-off because the 2.03m, 140kg Skelton had time to avoid the collision and didn’t use his arms on Schickerling, who hadn’t actually been in possession of the ball anyway.
The prop didn’t return in the second half after his HIA.
Skelton also might have got lucky that he didn’t get penalised for an earlier hit on Tom Curry.
Still, his absence still didn’t stop the Baa-baas racking up eight tries in total.
Jones, while playing down the significance of the loss, was still forced to concede: “We were beaten pretty badly at the breakdown, so it’s a good reminder of how much work we have to do before Australia.
“No one is happy about the result but, again, we look at it in the light of what we’re trying to do.
“There’s a contextual situation here. I know you’re struggling to understand it, but we’re trying to build a new team, play a different way, a style that suits that players and there are going to be some ups and downs.”
Meanwhile, Skelton is set to feature in the Wallabies’ Rugby Championship squad after admitting he was “hurt” by being overlooked for Test honours against England.
Skelton’s Baa Baas call-up capped another standout season in European rugby. The 30-year-old giant starred for Heineken Cup champions La Rochelle this season, adding to the silverware he collected from spells with Saracens (2019) and the Waratahs (2014).
His impact off the bench for his club had France and Barbarians coach Fabian Galthie scratching his head over how Australia had declined the chance to recall the second-rower for the England series.
But the Herald has learned that Skelton and once-regular second row pick, Rory Arnold, are in the frame for the next series, The Rugby Championship, which starts with back-to-back Tests away against Argentina. Force lock Izack Rodda, who partnered regularly with Arnold under former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika, is out for three months with a foot injury. The absence will rule him out of the Argentina and, potentially, South Africa legs of the tournament.
Under the revised Giteau Law protocols, Rennie can only have three overseas-based players per series, meaning he would have to swap out one or more of the current three – Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete – to make room for Skelton or Arnold.
With Kerevi eyeing a Commonwealth Games campaign with the Australian men’s sevens side, Rennie could face some tough choices between his workhorse winger, Koroibete, and Cooper, who is his likely starting No.10.
Coach Dave Rennie hinted to the Herald recently that the long European season contributed to his decision to look to Japan for reinforcements against England, but reiterated that Skelton could come into play beyond that.
“That’s the challenge around guys coming out of France. They go deep into a season. It’s been a hell of a long year,” Rennie said. “We brought them [Skelton and Rory Arnold] in last year, and he fitted in well. I’m not looking to bring him back for the England series but maybe beyond that.”
The Japanese season ran almost parallel to Super Rugby Pacific, allowing Cooper, Kerevi and Koroibete to arrive fresh and rested in Australia after their seasons wrapped up at the end of May.
Skelton and Arnold’s clubs are still playing in the French domestic league, and Rennie may have wanted to give them time to recuperate before enlisting them for The Rugby Championship.
The message may have been scrambled in transit, because Skelton told a recent podcast he was “hurt” by the snub.
“I obviously played in November and I haven’t had much contact after that. I think I spoke to Rens a week after we broke up and I haven’t had much contact,” he said.
“In my head I had an inkling that they’d pick those Japanese boys – the season’s aligned with Super Rugby and the Japanese league and with us having such a long season I know from the chats that we had in November they were almost not going to pick us.
“It obviously hurts not to be selected but that’s life and I can only control what I can control.”

(The Hill) – Tensions between the Justice Department and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee have slipped into public view amid the panel’s first public hearings for its investigation.
A standoff between the parallel probes over the committee’s refusal to share its interview transcripts led federal prosecutors this week to agree to postpone the trial date for a group of Proud Boys leaders charged with seditious conspiracy.
And as lawmakers present compelling evidence of criminality in the effort to overturn the 2020 election, the hearings are adding fuel to the looming question of whether the Justice Department is adequately investigating those concerns.
In a letter sent Wednesday to the select committee’s chief investigative counsel, the heads of the DOJ’s national security and criminal divisions and the U.S. attorney for D.C. renewed their request for the lawmakers to share transcripts for all of their witness interviews.
“The Select Committee’s failure to grant the Department access to these transcripts complicates the Department’s ability to investigate and prosecute those who engaged in criminal conduct in relation to the January 6 attack on the Capitol,” the letter reads. “Accordingly, we renew our request that the Select Committee provide us with copies of the transcripts of all the interviews it has conducted to date.”
The committee has indicated that it plans to release its transcripts in September, and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the panel’s chairman, said this week that he does not intend to disrupt his own investigation by accelerating that timeline.
“We will work with them, but we have a report to do,” Thompson told reporters on Thursday. “We are not gonna stop what we’re doing to share the information that we’ve gotten so far with the Department of Justice. We have to do our work.”
The most recent episode in the standoff, which first emerged last month, is just the latest sign of tension between the two branches’ inquiries into the Jan. 6 attack.
The strained relationship was also apparent as the department for months dragged its feet in acting on the House’s criminal referrals of two former Trump aides – White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and social media director Dan Scavino – for refusing to comply with select committee subpoenas.
The Justice Department ultimately declined to charge Meadows and Scavino with contempt, provoking an angry response from the panel.
Now, as the committee is presenting its public case against former President Trump and his inner circle for trying to overturn the 2020 election, the series of hearings thus far appear designed to pressure the department into taking action by holding the leaders of the schemes accountable.
And for some critics who think the Justice Department has been lagging in investigating the Trump White House’s potential criminal liability, the hearings have shown a stark disparity in the parallel probes.
“In a way, the structure of these hearings, the product of these hearings, has kind of been an indictment of the DOJ,” said Ankush Khardori, a former federal prosecutor who handled major fraud cases at the department. “DOJ could have been doing this stuff itself.”
“And I think some people in the public are probably scratching their head saying like, ‘Why are these questions coming from Congress about whether Trump was lying for months about election fraud? … And why am I learning these damning facts, that would seem highly relevant to a criminal investigation of the White House, from Congress?’”
The Justice Department suggested in its letter this week that by denying federal prosecutors access to interview transcripts, the select committee has hindered its ability to conduct the sort of high-level investigations and prosecutions that the lawmakers have been calling for.
While it’s unclear whether the department is pursuing any investigations into the select committee’s most high-profile witnesses, their effort to obtain the transcripts is likely more driven by the ongoing prosecutions implicated by the legislative probe.
Prosecutors said the standoff forced them to agree to delay the criminal trial for the group of Proud Boys charged with seditious conspiracy.
“DOJ has good arguments for why they need these interviews,” said Danya Perry, a former federal prosecutor and deputy state attorney general in New York.
Perry said it doesn’t necessarily indicate that prosecutors are looking for information for ongoing investigations or to open new ones, but rather for active prosecutions where defendants believe the transcripts could provide exculpatory evidence.
“[Federal prosecutors] don’t technically have an obligation to go out of their way to get this information and provide it but, as a practical matter, they may feel it’s best practice,” she said. “But it’s not unreasonable for the committee to be dragging its feet, in terms of not turning over these transcripts until the end of their hearings.”
The select committee has expressed reservations about providing the executive branch with unfettered access to its work product before it’s made public. One concern might be that complying with the expansive request would make it appear that the two entities are colluding in a political manner, damaging public perceptions of both investigations.
One member of the select committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), said last month that the panel would be more amenable to providing access to its records if the DOJ were to explain what it was looking for.
“I think they need to be specific about what they need and why they need it,” Schiff said. “And the failure to do so raises the same questions about the scope of their investigation and why it is more than a year after Jan. 6 some things still don’t seem to be investigated by the department.”
“The department doesn’t wait on Congress to do an investigation. And so I think the question is: Why is the department coming to Congress at this point? Why hasn’t the department been doing a broader investigation from the beginning?” | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/signs-of-tension-rise-between-justice-jan-6-panel/ | 2022-06-19T22:58:14Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/signs-of-tension-rise-between-justice-jan-6-panel/ | false | 23 |

German Wage Round for 3.8 Million May Fuel Inflation, Lobby Says
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Sign up for the New Economy Daily newsletter, follow us @economics and subscribe to our podcast.
Germany’s upcoming collective-bargaining round for 3.8 million workers in the engineering industry could fuel inflation in Europe’s biggest economy, the head of the Gesamtmetall employers’ lobby in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia warned.
“I can only warn urgently against fueling inflation even further through excessive wage agreements in the most important industrial sector for the German economy,” Arndt Kirchhoff said in a commentary published in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “What is required is a collective bargaining policy toolbox that takes into account the extremely heterogeneous situation in the companies.”
The executive board of Germany’s powerful IG Metall labor union will make a recommendation on the wage demand Monday, and the regional collective-bargaining chapters of IG Metall will decide their demands on that basis. A press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Frankfurt. Collective bargaining will begin in September.
The union won wage increases of 6.5% and a one-time payment of 500 euros ($525) for some 75,000 workers in the steel industry, the biggest jump in 30 years, it said on its website. That mustn’t set a precedent, Kirchhoff said.
Relief Measures
“The steel agreement can certainly not be a blueprint for the German metal and electrical industry in view of the special economic situation in this industrial sector,” he said. “Our industry as a whole is still clearly below pre-crisis levels.”
Kirchhoff said he’s “aware that rising consumer prices are a major concern for our employees” and urged the government to provide “substantial relief.”
Germany’s ruling coalition is working on a package of measures to ease the impact of rising energy costs for consumers, the Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported, citing an interview with Greens Party co-leader Ricarda Lang. Additional government spending should be targeted to help those most in need, including pensioners on low incomes, she said.
German inflation hit another all-time high in May, adding urgency to the European Central Bank’s exit from crisis-era stimulus. Consumer prices jumped 8.7% from a year ago, driven by soaring energy and food costs, more than analysts predicted.
ECB President Christine Lagarde said after a council meeting in Amsterdam this month that inflation risks “are primarily on the upside,” also because of higher-than-anticipated wage increases, though there is no risk as yet of a wage-price spiral.

Max Verstappen held off a late challenge from Carlos Sainz to take victory at the Canadian Grand Prix and further extend his championship lead.
With Formula One returning to Montreal for the first time in three years, it was the Red Bull of Verstappen which took the chequered flag to move 46 points clear at the top of the standings.
Sainz was fast in the closing stages following a period behind the safety car but could not find a way past Verstappen and had to settle for second place, the pair joined on the podium by Lewis Hamilton – the seven-time world champion taking third for Mercedes.
His team-mate George Russell continued his record of top-five finishes all season as he took fourth ahead of Charles Leclerc, who recovered from starting 19th to claim a decent haul of points for Ferrari.
The Alpines were sixth and seventh, Esteban Ocon managing to finish ahead of Fernando Alonso, while Valtteri Bottas, Guanyu Zhou and local favourite Lance Stroll rounded out the points.
Verstappen cantered off the line and into the first corner well ahead of Alonso, who had impressed in qualifying to take his first front-row start in a decade.
Hamilton had started an impressive fourth and held off a challenge from the Haas of Kevin Magnussen, with Alonso passed by Sainz on lap three.
An early virtual safety car for the retirement of the sister Red Bull of Sergio Perez, seemingly with an engine issue, allowed a spate of pit stops with Verstappen and Hamilton among those to put on fresh tyres.
A similar situation occurred on lap 19 as Mick Schumacher was forced to retire, this time the VSC allowing Russell to pit as Sainz also stopped and Verstappen retook the lead.
With Perez out, another of Verstappen’s title rivals was cutting his way through the field as Leclerc overcame a 10-place grid penalty after replacing engine parts on Saturday.
The Monegasque, however, ended up stuck behind Ocon to check his progress, a slow pit stop then forcing him back down into the pack.
The sell-out crowd on Ile Notre-Dame was treated to a rare example of a Hamilton and Verstappen battle, with last year’s title protagonists neck and neck as the Dutchman left the pits.
Sainz stayed out to take the lead and was able to pit under a safety car on lap 49 after Yuki Tsunoda crashed out in the AlphaTauri, getting right onto the gearbox of Verstappen at the restart.
There was no drama as the safety car peeled away but Sainz was keeping Verstappen honest, closing to within a second and pushing for an overtake in the closing stages.
But, while Leclerc cut past the two Alpines to improve his position, Sainz had no answer up front as Verstappen took the 26th win of his career and his fifth in the last six races.
There had been doubts as to whether Hamilton would even drive in Canada after he suffered from a bad back due to the amount of porpoising he suffered at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend.
But a mixture of acupuncture and cryotherapy had him ready for the race and he took third place, just his second podium of the season.
“It is feeling good, I’m back to feeling young,” he replied when asked about his back at the end of the grand prix.
“It is quite overwhelming to get this third pace, it has been such a battle this year as a team – I’m so proud and inspired by my crew.
“They are a little bit too quick for us at the moment, I gave everything and we are getting closer and closer.
“I could just about see (the leaders) at the end thanks to the safety car, our pace was quite good so honestly I’m ecstatic, I didn’t expect it coming into the weekend.”

$900 fill-up: High gas prices hit RV drivers more than most
Gas prices may be skyrocketing, but Americans still love their RVs despite the fact that they often get 10 mpg — or less.
RV popularity boomed during the pandemic as travelers looked for safe ways to travel while maintaining social distance. Americans continue to turn to RVs even as they've grown increasingly comfortable flying and staying in hotels.
RV production in North America hit an all-time high in 2021, with more than 600,000 vehicles produced, according to RV Industry Association spokeswoman Monika Geraci. The association expects 2022 will be its second-best year of production ever. RVs are especially popular in the South and West.

Thor Industries, which owns popular RV brands Airstream and Jayco, said this month that its sales were up 34.6% in the latest three months, compared with the same period last year. Thor Industries says it still has a backlog of RV orders worth $13.88 billion.
RV experts say consumers are adjusting to high gas prices by taking shorter trips.
"If you live in Phoenix and were thinking of Yosemite in California, you might do the Grand Canyon instead," said Randall Smalley, who leads marketing and business development at Cruise America, which rents RVs.
Dane Lee and his wife Jenna sold their Dallas home in 2020 and bought an RV as their jobs became remote during the pandemic.

They've crossed the country twice in their RV, but will be staying closer to family in Birmingham, Alabama this year. Lee said their 150-gallon diesel tank can cost close to $900 to fill from empty. But they don't plan to go back to a traditional house.
"We had the house in the suburbs with a pool and a fence and that stuff. It got a little monotonous going to the office and going back home," Lee said. "The flexibility of having a new view every week is awesome. We've found where we want to be."
Jon Gray, CEO of RV Share, an online marketplace for renting RVs, told CNN Business that customers' average trip in May was slightly less than 350 miles, 9% shorter than in May of last year.
RV Share will be giving away $500,000 in gift cards to customers this year to compensate for increased gas prices on trips. Even with the high gas prices, last week RV Share had its biggest day of bookings this year, Gray said.
Jennifer Young, co-founder of the RV marketplace Outdoorsy, said that "near-cations" are a big trend, as many people stay within 100 miles of home. Young said the average nightly cost of an Outdoorsy rental has increased $5 from last year. Outdoorsy's rentals for the 4th of July are up 4% from last year, Young said.
The increased fuel costs of RVs may be more acceptable to travelers due to inflation across the economy, including more expensive airfare. RV costs may not look as daunting when compared to alternatives. RV travelers often bring their own food and cook, helping to manage costs. Many RV travelers drive exclusively on the first and last day of the trip and leave the RV parked the rest of the trip.
"RVs are not gas-powered vacations," Young said. "They look like they are because they have a steering wheel and four wheels."
RV experts say a growing industry trend is having an RV delivered to an RV site for a vacationing family to use.
Gray, the RV Share CEO, said 20% of his rentals involve the RV's owner driving the vehicle to a campground or destination and leaving it there for the renters. That way travelers can drive their own fuel-efficient vehicle to the RV's location. Then they can enjoy the benefits of vacationing in an RV — which can feel like having a hotel room whose door opens to some of the country's most beautiful places, like national parks — without ever having to fuel up the vehicle to drive it long distances. RV Share started offering the service early in the pandemic. | https://www.wdsu.com/article/gas-prices-hit-rv-drivers-more-than-most/40343322 | 2022-06-19T23:48:31Z | https://www.wdsu.com/article/gas-prices-hit-rv-drivers-more-than-most/40343322 | true | 11 |

TORONTO - Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a grand slam in the sixth inning and Teoscar Hernandez had a three-run homer the seventh as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied past the New York Yankees 10-9 on Sunday.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened the game with a two-run homer and George Springer's solo shot also helped Toronto (38-28) avoid a three-game sweep by New York.
Toronto starter Yusei Kikuchi (2-3) gave up three runs on three hits and struck out five in four innings of work in a no decision. He walked two and hit two batters, as well as throwing one wild pitch.
Adam Cimber, Max Castillo in his Major League Baseball debut, Yimi Garcia, Tim Mayza and Jordan Romano came on in relief.
Former Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson had a two-run homer for the Yankees (49-17), whose win streak ended at nine straight.
Gleyber Torres, Kyle Higashioka, Marwin Gonzalez and pinch-hitter Anthony Rizzo added solo home runs for New York.
Luis Severino (4-1) struck out nine, but gave up five runs over five innings. Relievers Miguel Castro and Wandy Peralta allowed another five before Ron Marinaccio mopped up.
Toronto trailed New York 8-7 heading into the seventh inning.
Guerrero and Alejandro Kirk were already on base when Hernandez came to the plate.
He watched two change-ups from Peralta miss the strike zone and worked the count to 2-1.
The Yankees reliever went back to the same pitch and Hernandez took full advantage with a three-run shot just over the outfield wall for a 10-8 lead.
Rizzo pinch hitting for Higashioka in the eighth put a Mayza offering to deep right field to cut into Toronto's lead.
Gonzalez got an infield single in the next at bat, followed by a single from pinch-hitter Jose Trevino to threaten Toronto's slim lead.
That brought Blue Jays closer Romano to the mound with five outs to go. He got out of the eighth with a fly ball and a strikeout.
Romano rung up Donaldson to start the ninth, issued a walk to Giancarlo Stanton, and then forced Torres to flyout to centre.
Aaron Hicks singled to right field, but Romano of Markham, Ont., earned his 17th save of the season by inducing a Rizzo groundout.
Guerrero smashed the first pitch he saw in the first inning. He blasted Severino's 94.9-m.p.h. four-seam fastball into the Blue Jays' bullpen. His 17th home run of the season also scored Bo Bichette.
Torres countered for the Yankees in the second inning. His 13th of the season came on a full count and narrowed Toronto's lead to 2-1.
Donaldson, who won an American League MVP award with Toronto in 2015, was loudly booed by the 44,395 at Rogers Centre with each at bat.
Those jeers were especially loud in the third inning as he rounded the bases following a two-run home run. His sixth of the season also scored Joey Gallo and gave New York the lead.
Aaron Judge tacked on a run in the fifth inning. He hit a double off of Cimber to bring in Gallo from second.
Cimber struck out the next two batters, but then gave up a hard double off the outfield wall to Torres, which scored DJ LeMahieu and Judge for a 6-2 Yankees lead.
Springer cut into that lead by one in the bottom of the inning. With two outs, he took the first pitch he saw to deep left field.
Castillo had a rough introduction to big-league pitching when he came on for the Blue Jays in the sixth inning.
Higashioka crushed a Castillo pitch 395 feet into the second deck at Rogers Centre for his fourth home run of the season and the first Major League at bat for Castillo.
In the next at bat, Castillo gave up a home run to Gonzalez for the Yankees to build an 8-3 lead.
Guerrero led off the sixth with a single to centre field, which was the first Toronto hit of the game that wasn't a home run.
Although Guerrero was later tagged out by Donaldson at third on a fielder's choice, his single sparked a Blue Jays rally.
Kirk followed Guerrero's hit with a walk, followed by Teoscar Hernandez hitting into the fielder's choice.
Santiago Espinal struck out, but Matt Chapman drew a walk to load the bases and set up Gurriel's grand slam.
PEARSON HURT — Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson was removed from the triple-A Buffalo Bisons' game Sunday afternoon with right-shoulder discomfort. The Blue Jays said the hard-throwing 25-year-old would be re-evaluated.
CASTILLO CALLED UP — Castillo was selected to the Blue Jays roster before the game. Righty Casey Lawrence was optioned to triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.
UP NEXT — The Blue Jays hit the road on Monday with José Berríos (5-2) getting the start in Chicago against the White Sox. Chicago counters with Lance Lynn, who began his season on the injured list and earned a no decision in his first start last week.

How former teammate of LeBron James, Delonte West blew away all his money and his career in the NBA
LeBron James has had a long, long career in the NBA.
During the different ups and downs in his league life, the King had the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure), to play with a whole range of teammates.
Players such as Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis stand as the most famous, because of their ability on the court. But, what about a certain other teammate of the man’s that is famous… just not quite for his ability on the basketball court.
We’re talking about Delonte West, a man who was with James on the Cavaliers during his initial stint there. And well, let’s just say, the turn his life took after he got into the NBA isn’t the most heart-warming story of all time.
This is the tale of Delonte West.
Delonte West’s life went completely south after substance abuse, mental illness, and just complete bad luck became too strong in his life
In case you’re thinking that the name sounds familiar, but you aren’t quite sure who Delonte West is… well, he is James’s teammate who allegedly slept with the King’s mom.
Yep, we’re guessing now you remember.
But, aside from that tidbit, Delonte’s life is hardly been the best one. It has been plagued by substance abuse, mental disorders, lack of opportunity, and so much more. And all of that has been detailed in the video below.
Truly, nothing less than heartbreaking.
We only hope that Delonte West can be blessed with a better life very, very soon. | https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-delonte-west-blew-away-20-million-and-his-career-on-how-lebron-james-former-teammates-life-was-swept-away-by-drugs-mental-illness-and-so-much-more/ | 2022-06-20T01:01:41Z | https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-delonte-west-blew-away-20-million-and-his-career-on-how-lebron-james-former-teammates-life-was-swept-away-by-drugs-mental-illness-and-so-much-more/ | false | 1 |
Chris Evans attends the “Lightyear” UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on June 13, 2022 in … [+]
Disney’s Lightyear is, somewhat confusingly, the movie that Andy from Toy Story watched before buying his shiny spaceman toy. Luckily, Andy’s mom wasn’t a Fox News fan, or she might not have let him watch the movie at all.
A ridiculous controversy has engulfed the newly released film, as conservatives are triggered by a single kiss featured in the film, simply because that kiss is shared by two women.
On social media, right-wing culture warriors and media personalities such as Ben Shapiro had a meltdown over the children’s animation, tweeting panicked warnings about the same-sex kiss, claiming that the film reflected a “moral collapse.”
Ted Cruz went on a bizarre rant about the film in which he complained about “lesbian toys” being sold as Lightyear merchandise.
This week, that same-sex kiss resulted in the movie being banned in no less than 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries, according to the New York Times. Actor Chris Evans, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, dismissed the offended critics as “idiots,” while Disney was applauded by progressives for refusing to censor the scene.
Ironically, this was never Disney’s intention; the kiss was initially cut from the film entirely, as Disney (along with other studios) often re-edit films to conform with local censorship laws around the world, which is why their tepid attempts at LGBT representation are so brief and non-impactful – they can easily be cut without disrupting the pacing of a single scene. Online, Disney’s half-hearted inclusivity is often referred to as “passive progressive.”
The now infamous Lightyear kiss (which is, at best, a quick peck) was only reinstated in the film after an open letter in March by “the LGBTQIA+ employees of Pixar, and their allies,” which criticized Disney for brutally cutting “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection … regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.”
Despite conservative attempts to create a narrative around a supposed “gay agenda,” Disney is simply trying to avoid bad publicity – Disney’s agenda is to make money, without alienating their queer audience, as well as easily panicked suburbanites. The majority of Disney films feature heterosexual characters kissing – it’s never been a problem before.
But the culture war against the LGBT community is intensifying, to a frightening degree, and Disney is now stuck in a position of attempting to position itself as an inclusive corporation, while trying to appease bigots who believe that the sight of two cartoon characters kissing is tantamount to “grooming” (clearly, these people have never watched a Bugs Bunny cartoon).
Amusingly, former Disney collaborator Alex Hirsch, creator of the magnificent Gravity Falls, recently released a video montage highlighting the ridiculous censorship requests he received from Disney; one of these requests specifically asks him to tone down the physical affection between two male characters.
Hirsch has called out Disney on Twitter before, mocking the company for embracing Pride aesthetics while censoring every single hint of same-sex attraction in their stories. Disney’s “gay agenda” certainly didn’t warrant a backlash, but a quick kiss that was never supposed to make the final cut isn’t much to brag about either.
Lightyear takes one small step towards inclusivity, interpreted as one giant leap in the minds of bigots. | https://www.inferse.com/122325/disneys-lightyear-controversy-is-more-ridiculous-than-you-think-forbes/ | 2022-06-20T01:07:03Z | https://www.inferse.com/122325/disneys-lightyear-controversy-is-more-ridiculous-than-you-think-forbes/ | true | 2 |

China’s new oil product export quotas fail to quench Asia’s burgeoning thirst
China is poised to inject more fuel supplies into the Asian market as part of its supplementary quota for the first batch, but the new export volumes are too little to quench Asia’s growing thirst for transportation fuels, leaving middle distillate cracks at multiyear highs.
Demand for transportation fuels has been picking up in Asia, outside of China, as higher vaccination rates and improved mobility push regional economies to open. However, global oil supplies are not keeping pace with recovering demand, warn analysts.
Refiners in the Middle East are mainly focused on delivering oil products to Europe, and with limited supplies from China, many Asian nations — especially those in Southeast Asia and Oceania — are relying heavily on South Korea for their fuel requirements, according to gasoline and diesel traders and distributors based in Hanoi, Melbourne, Jakarta and Singapore.
China’s new release of 3.5 million mt (27.83 million barrels) supplementary quotas for cargo exporting gasoil, gasoline and jet fuel are unlikely to satiate Asia’s growing appetite.
“Beijing’s quota allocation aims to offset domestic inventory pressure instead of comforting the regional market, while the increase in China’s actual oil product outflow may more or less be like a drop in the bucket,” a Singapore-based trader said.
The new export quotas could mean that China would be able to raise gasoline, gasoil and jet fuel exports to over 3 million mt in June from the planned outflows of above 2 million mt initially. However, the estimated June export volume is still about 36% below the shipments seen in the same month a year earlier.
Beijing is lowering the country’s oil product exports despite strong demand in Asia and hefty exporting margins, which were estimated at $30/b for gasoline and $40/b for gasoil by analysts.
Taking into account the recent quota release, including the 1 million mt quota mainly for refueling jet fuel at China’s international airports, total allocation for 2022 stands at 17.5 million mt as of June 17, still down 40.7% on the year.
As a result, the Platts FOB Singapore 10 ppm sulfur gasoil cargo and jet fuel kerosene cargo cracks against front-month cash Dubai have averaged $60.42/b and $49.47/b in June to-date, up from $45.31/b and $34.83/b over May, respectively, S&P Global Commodity Insights data showed.
The June 1-16 average of physical FOB Singapore 92 RON gasoline crack against the front-month ICE Brent crude futures widened $1.17/b on the month to $29.91/b, S&P Global data showed.
Gasoline tops exports
Among the three products, Chinese oil companies are looking to maximize gasoline exports in June to ease their inventory burden, with the expected outflows of 1.4 million mt this month from about 800,000 mt in May, market sources said.
China exported 1.45 million mt of gasoline in June 2021, the customs data showed.
“The higher gasoline exports should help to balance the tight supply in Asia, possibly stabilizing prices,” a second Singapore-based trader said.
But market sources fear China’s gasoline exports would do little to help Asia, which is facing growing demand requirements from countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. Meanwhile, the bullish US-RBOB crack serves as the dominant factor influencing Asian gasoline prices.
China gasoline supplies are expected to head towards Indonesia due to a similarity in specification, according to sources.
Beijing to save jet fuel for local consumption?
In the Asian jet fuel/kerosene market, some traders even expect China to cut exports of jet fuel as it looks to keep barrels for domestic consumption.
“I was hearing 400,000-500,000 mt [for China’s June export volumes] due to better domestic demand after some of the lockdowns eased,” a Singapore-based trader said.
If realized, China’s June export volumes would be lower than May’s outflows, which has been estimated at 700,000-750,000 mt, market participants said in the week ending June 18.
The strength in Asian jet fuel/kerosene market is supported by robust demand for air travel in the region and limited jet fuel production as regional refiners still prefer to maximize gasoil output due to a weak regrade, sources said.
The government end-May said to relax curbs in the aviation sector in a bid to ensure smooth working of industrial supply chains and lift business travels.
The country also lowered its jet fuel output to a 10-year low of 1.75 million mt in April and the volume is likely to stay at the same level in May, according to China’s official data.
Gasoil falls on year
Most regional traders expect gasoil cracks to remain the most lucrative of the three oil products, as China’s exports of distillates are likely to be tilted towards gasoline and jet fuel instead.
“From my point of view, not big impact because any how gasoil export volume [is] limited,” a Singapore-based gasoil trader said.
The Beijing-based analyst estimated China’s gasoil exports to reach 800,000 mt in June, higher than the initial planned exports of less than 200,000 mt before the allocation of quota. But the volume will still be far below the 2.36 million mt in June 2021.
The reinstatement of lockdown measures in some parts of China to curb the pandemic resurgence is making domestic oil product demand outlook murky, particularly for transportation fuels.
Still, most sources expect China’s gasoil outflows to be limited as the distillate will likely be used by construction and industrial sectors to rev up economic activities in the Asia’s largest economy after prolonged lockdowns.

Amid violence over the 'Agnipath' scheme, Union minister and former Army chief General V K Singh (retd) on Sunday slammed the protesters saying if they don't like the new policy for recruitment into the armed forces they shouldn't opt for it.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in Maharashtra's Nagpur city, Singh said the Indian Army doesn't conscript soldiers and that aspirants can join of their own volition.
"Joining the Army is voluntary and not a compulsion. If any aspirant wants to join, he can join as per his will, we don't conscript soldiers. But if you don't like this recruitment scheme ('Agnipath') then don't come to (join). Who is asking you to come? You are burning buses and trains. Who told you that you will be recruited into the armed forces. You will be selected only if you fulfil the eligibility criteria," he said.
Tagging a video of Singh's comments, Congress' media department chairman Pawan Khera took a dig at him saying, "the man who went to court to postpone his own retirement is asking the youth to retire at 23."
ALSO WATCH | Explained: What is the Agnipath scheme and how will it work?
Singh also hit out at the Congress over party leader Priyanka Gandhi's statement against the 'Agnipath' scheme and alleged that the grand old party is finding fault with even the best work of the Modi government as it is upset with Rahul Gandhi's questioning by the ED.
Replying to a question over Priyanka Gandhi's statement made earlier in the day in Delhi that the 'Agnipath' scheme will destroy the youth as well as the Army, Singh said, "Congress is upset because Rahul Gandhi is being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Hence, the party finds fault with even the best of the best work of the government."
"The Opposition, particularly the Congress, is trying to mislead the youngsters. The only work that the Opposition is left with is to criticise and stop any government scheme. They want to create unrest in the country to defame the government," he said.
The Agnipath scheme, announced on June 14, provides for the recruitment of youths in the age bracket of 17-and-half to 21 years for only four years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years.
Later, the government extended the upper age limit to 23 years for recruitment in 2022.
However, massive protests have erupted in many states, including Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with youths taking to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the scheme.

Anyone involved in protests, arson and vandalism against the 'Agnipath' scheme would not be allowed to join the three services under the new recruitment model, a senior military official said on Sunday.
Singh said the concept of the 'Agnipath' scheme was conceived when the Kargil Committee was formed after the 1999 war.
"The primary idea was that a soldier can join the armed forces for a short period....which will solve two things," he said in an apparent reference to the demand for compulsory military training in India and maintaining the young age profile of the armed forces.
Singh said the demand for compulsory military training for the youth and other citizens of India had been made for the last 30 to 40 years.
"In the past, it was said that the training can be imparted through the NCC but the demand for military training was always there," he added.

Singh said the short-period recruitment scheme was thought about wherein the service period will be for four years and performers will be retained. Besides, the remaining 75 per cent of retirees would be adjusted in employment at various places.
He said the Army is neither an employment agency nor a company or a shop.
People join the Army out of their interest to serve the nation, he added.
When asked if the discontent over the 'Agnipath' scheme will discourage aspirants from turning up at recruitment rallies to join the armed forces, the former General said the government relaxed the entry age limit to 23 years (for one time) because the recruitment to the armed forces remained stalled due to the pandemic for two years.
"If a person had missed out on earlier recruitment opportunities he is still eligible to apply. This is a voluntary scheme and anyone who fits the criteria can apply," he added. | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/dont-join-armed-forces-if-you-dont-like-agnipath-says-v-k-singh-1964378-2022-06-20 | 2022-06-20T01:37:25Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/dont-join-armed-forces-if-you-dont-like-agnipath-says-v-k-singh-1964378-2022-06-20 | false | 3 |

player changes Russian nationality to compete at Wimbledon
Tennis player Natela Dzalamidze, formerly a Russian national, has elected to change her nationality to Georgian to avoid Wimbledon's ban on all competitors from Russia, multiple outlets reported Sunday.
A 29-year-old doubles player who is currently ranked No. 43 in the world, Dzalamidze will compete with Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia in the Wimbledon women's doubles beginning June 29.
Organizers at Wimbledon had announced on April 20 that all competitors from Russia and Belarus would be turned away this year because of the invasion of Ukraine.
The Wimbledon statement at the time read in part, "It would be unacceptable for the Russian regime to derive any benefits from the involvement of Russian or Belarusian players with the championships."
Dzalamidze has two doubles titles in her career, none so far in 2022.

Global Equity Technicals Point To More Downside Risk
Summary
- Global equities endured another tough week as geopolitical tensions rage.
- Is the current drawdown like March 2020? We take a look at key gauges.
- We see more shaky periods ahead as downside participation increases.
Global stocks are down more than 10% for the year. Damage trackers we monitor still suggest the correction, bear market, (or whatever you want to call it), is still in the early innings. Previous points of strength are turning into points of weakness today. It’s also a mid-term election year which is often challenging for the bulls through the third quarter.
Another Rough Week
Last week, US stocks fell nearly 3% while foreign equities actually managed to outperform a smidgen. Value niches were also ‘less bad.’ Bonds, however, suffered significant losses as interest rates rose and credit fears mounted. Investment grade fixed income fell about 3% while junk bonds were down 2%. The selling expanse is vast in 2022.
From a Range to a Downturn
For ex-US stocks, last year’s pause in the uptrend has turned into a decided roll-over. Our featured chart below illustrates how the broad international equity market found resistance at the 2007 peak. It also failed to find support at the January 2018 zenith. Investors are left wondering where things will bottom out. Meanwhile, the 200dma moving average breadth indicators prove that downside participation is strong. The bears are clearly in control. The percent of countries in long-term stock market downtrends is more than 70%.
Featured Chart: International Equities Pause & Roll Over at 2007 Highs with Strong Bearish Breadth
Shades of March 2020? Yes and No.
Our flagship Weekly Macro Themes report dives into the similarities between today’s market and that of March 2020. There are some key differences, too. Still, bears might be about to roar – the proportion of countries that are positive over the last 12 months is on the cusp of crossing below an important threshold that has historically been a hallmark of definitive bear markets.
Market Pulse
What’s another damage meter? Fresh 52-week lows. International equities have fallen fast, but the number of new lows is somewhat tame right now. Just 20% of 70 countries we keep tabs on have made a new low. Many stock markets peaked in March or June last year, so it might just be a matter of time before this gauge perks up. The downward thrust among equities still looks early according to this indicator.
Technical Bear Market Count
Moreover, a surprisingly low number of countries are in technical bear market territory (down 20%). We assert that more bearish participation will take place in the coming months to solidify 2021 and 2022 as another global bear market – perhaps like what we saw in 2015-2016 or 2000-2002.
All bear markets are different though. The contrasts to the current environment versus that of March 2020 are many. Growth was a relative safe haven during the Covid Crash but is now a source of weakness. Monetary policy also cushioned the blow but is now a major headwind.
Bottom Line: We remain bearish global equities. We see some opportunities though. This week’s report identifies good risk/reward areas in EMFX and among LatAm equities. Big picture though, weak technicals, policy & inflation headwinds, and a lack of a value case continue to point to volatile times ahead for global investors.

Thor is back in July's Thor: Love and Thunder. When audiences last left the Asgardian thunder god in Avengers: Endgame, he was jetting off into the cosmos with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Just based on previously released footage from the film, it seems as though the Guardians themselves have a fairly sizable role to play in the movie.
Also along for the ride are beloved MCU characters like Korg and Tessa Thompson's Vakyrie. Having been appointed the King of New Asgard in the closing minutes of Endgame, Valkyrie seems to be growing weary of the bureaucracy that comes with being the sovereign ruler of a large group of people. She can be glimpsed looking quite bored during an important meeting during Love and Thunder's first trailer.
Naturally, Valkyrie will want to get in on the action during the film, but Thompson has let it slip that she doesn't share scenes with every character.
Valkyrie Reportedly Won't Share Scenes With The Guardians
Speaking to Fandango, Valkyrie actress and Thor: Love and Thunder star Tessa Thompson revealed that "she wasn't in any of the Guardian stuff."
“Well I didn’t… I just came to set to watch, because I wasn’t in any of the Guardian stuff and I don’t remember which of them said it to me, but someone asked me, ‘Is it always like this?’ I was like, ‘Yes, it is…'"
Thompson went on to describe the highly improvisational, albeit somewhat chaotic atmosphere on set under director Taika Waititi:
"I think what you were saying Taika. I think it’s like… we’re used to a certain level of chaos. Like existing in a certain level of chaos because there’s always like the version that’s on the page and then… we throw that out and do a bunch… that we know probably… 95% of it will never get to be in the film, but you do it for the 5% that can live there."
Waititi also went on to discuss his directorial style compares to that of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, saying that "he just knows what he’s doing:"
“I don’t know. I have different a [style] to James [Gunn]. James, I think… well, he directed me briefly in Suicide Squad and he just knows what he’s doing. That’s the difference. He’s got a plan and he knows every frame that he’s going to shoot and he storyboards everything and he just knows what he wants. Well, I’m just trying to like, I’m like, ’I don’t know what I want. I’ll see it somewhere in there at some point.’”
Chris Hemsworth also chimed in by reminiscing on his first encounter with the Guardians crew during filming for Avengers: Infinity War, calling them "insane and hilarious and fun:"
“The first time I met them all was on the Infinity War set and from that day, there was just such a different sort of vibe and energy that each of the characters brought out in each other and it was the same with on this film. It’s a whole different dynamic when you have characters from another franchise who are used to doing their own franchise mashed into this world. It was like most of it. Insane and hilarious and fun.”
How Large of a Role Do the Guardians Really Have?
Seeing as Tessa Thompson outright stated that Vaklyire and the Guardians of the Galaxy don't share any screentime in the finished film, it does beg the question: How much play do Quill, Rocket, Groot, Mantis, Nebula and Drax get in the plot?
It's possible that the team really only appears at the beginning of the movie, adventuring with Thor immediately following Avengers: Endgame. Then, something might occur that would cause their paths to branch. Thor seems to want to investigate Gorr and perhaps the Guardians get a new lead on Gamora's whereabouts, which would lead into 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
It appears clear that the ragtag group of outer space misfits doesn't factor into the final battle though, since it would seem natural for Valkyrie to be present for that sequence.
Also of note are Thompson's words on the "certain level of chaos" happening on the set of Thor 4. Taika Waititi Waititi is a comedic director at heart, and he's largely credited with revitalizing Thor's character in Thor: Ragnarok by letting Chris Hemsworth let loose and explore his comedy chops a little more. Waititi has had hit after hit in his recent career, so his method of improvising on set must be well-proven.

Illinois dairy farm heritage spans multiple generations
Twice each day, dairy cows line up 12-at-a time to be milked at Rolling Lawns Farm in Greenville. As the animals enter the milking parlor, caretakers clean and sanitize each cow’s udder before attaching an automatic milking unit.
The entire milking process takes about 8 minutes per animal, with milk going from the cow to a customer’s glass in fewer than 6 hours.
“Cows look forward to the milking process,” says Michael Turley, owner and operator of the Bond County farm. “You have your early arrivers, who are first in line, and your cows who are last in line but they’re always in the same place every day.”
The farm has been home to purebred Holsteins for more than 100 years, starting when Turley’s great-grandfather founded the dairy. Pedigrees and registration documentation help track each animal’s ancestry.
For example, Baltimore Barb represents the 29th generation in her family at the farm. Her predecessors came over from the Netherlands in 1882, when many U.S. farmers began using European genetics to grow the dairy sector.
More:Third Friday's theme is country music inspired
With 120 cows at Rolling Lawns Farm, there’s a lot of personal interaction between each animal and their handlers.
“We see each animal every day and can pretty much tell when they’re having a good day or an off day – just like people,” Turley says.
Each cow has her own personality, too. Lovely, a 7-year-old cow whose family has been on the farm for 75 years, is the biggest and most playful. Turley says she’s also the most spoiled.
More:Stay cool out there and more thoughts on gun control
“She’s seen me pretty much every day of her adult life and she knows she’s going to get cared for,” he says. “She exemplifies the type of care that we try to give our cows every day. There’s a lot of trust and interaction between the animal and the owners.”
In 2017, Turley expanded his business to include a processing, bottling and retail facility 8 miles down the road from the farm. Customers at The Milk House can choose from a selection of white and flavored milks, as well as homemade ice cream. They can also watch fresh milk from the farm undergo pasteurization, which includes heating to remove bacteria, before it’s turned into dairy treats.
Turley says his goal with adding transparency to how dairy products are made is to demystify any misconceptions shoppers might have. That includes answering questions about how his family and employees raise cows and the use of practices such as antibiotics.
“I love answering those types of questions because we can assure them about the safety of the product,” he says. “There are no antibiotics [in milk] because of the rigorous testing that not only our farm does, but every dairy farm in the United States undergoes. There isn’t a more heavily regulated product than milk.”

NEW YORK — “POV,” now in its 35th year as America’s longest-running independent documentary series, presents a special encore presentation of the gripping 1988 Academy Award-nominated film “Who Killed Vincent Chin?” by filmmakers Christine Choy and Renee Tajima-Peña on Monday, June 20, 2022 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
The documentary was recently restored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and also selected for the National Film Registry.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the racially motivated murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American, by two white men, Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, in Detroit on June 19, 1982. The documentary, which originally aired on POV in July 1989, details the incident from initial eyewitness accounts, the ensuing murder trials to the lenient sentences the assailants received, and the repercussions for the families and community involved.
“Who Killed Vincent Chin?” also chronicles how the case brought the disparate Asian American communities of Detroit together for the first time, and how they transformed themselves from a grassroots advocacy group into a national movement.
Their efforts helped bring public attention to the anti-Asian hate that led to Chin’s murder, and encouraged Asian American groups across the country to fight for equality and justice. The U.S. Department of Justice brought federal civil rights charges against the killers, who were ultimately acquitted on appeal, on grounds of pre-trial publicity and errors made with witnesses.
“I was vaguely aware of the killing of Vincent Chin in 1982,” said filmmaker Christine Choy. “The next year, when I had the opportunity to meet Lily Chin, Vincent’s mother in Detroit, Michigan, I knew this was a story that would make an impact. The project started as a short film to help the American Citizens for Justice (ACJ) raise the legal fee but with the support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the film was expanded. It was a privilege to have taken part in the telling of this story nearly forty years ago and still see its relevance and importance today.”
“We knew who killed Vincent Chin, but the real question was why?” filmmaker Renee Tajima-Peña added. “Was it because of his race? For me it was a ‘Rashomon’-like enigma, trying to untangle the conflicting perspectives of the people who lived through the case. It also revealed the fractures in America itself, and ultimately, how people bridged those divides to fight for justice.”
“Who Killed Vincent Chin?” represents a critical turning point for Asian Americans with chilling relevance today. Anti-Asian sentiments that were further stoked by the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to ongoing xenophobia, particularly against Chinese Americans, though they have affected the broader AAPI community. From March 19, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2021, over 10,ooo hate crime incidents were reported to Stop AAPI Hate, a nonprofit coalition tracking incidents of hate and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. Breaking news headlines about the 2021 Atlanta and Indianapolis shootings, and the recent murders in New York City of Christina Yuna Lee and Michelle Go as well, show that these hate crimes are disproportionately targeted at the elderly and Asian American women.
“It’s such an honor to present ‘Who Killed Vincent Chin?’ again at this moment and especially on the heels of executive producer Juanita Anderson joining our board of directors,” said executive director of ‘American Documentary’ and executive producer of ‘POV’ Erika Dilday. “‘Who Killed Vincent Chin?’ is a watershed moment in filmmaking craft as well as in building and unifying an intersectional political project for the Asian American community. Now more than ever we can feel its resonance, and I’m so happy to make this essential work newly accessible to millions of viewers on PBS.”
“The brutal attack on Vincent Chin was a harrowing but significant incident in Detroit’s and America’s history,” said Rich Homberg, president and CEO of Detroit Public Television (DPTV). “This film is a moving testament to the loss of a young man’s life and to the people who stood up to protest this terrible injustice. It speaks volumes now more than ever about the wave of discrimination and violence against Asian Americans we continue to witness.
“The Library of Congress last year added the ‘Who Killed Vincent Chin?’ documentary to the National Film Registry as one of the most important films in America,” Homberg noted. “We are very pleased that POV and PBS will be airing it to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Vincent Chin tragedy as our nation reaffirms its commitment to social justice for all Americans in the hope that a horrible act such as this will not be repeated.”
In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Chin’s death, a series of “Remembrance & Rededication” activities organized in a partnership between the American Citizens for Justice, the Vincent and Lily Chin Estate, Detroit Public Television (DPTV), Center for Asian American Media (CAAM), and City of Detroit Arts and Culture (ACE) are scheduled to take place throughout the U.S. For more information on these events, visit VincentChin.org.
“Who Killed Vincent Chin?” is a co-presentation with Detroit Public Television (DPTV) and CAAM (Center for Asian American Media). Juanita Anderson (now on the board of American Documentary), Nancy Tong, Robert Larson are executive producers. Erika Dilday and Chris White are executive producers for “American Documentary” | “POV.” | https://rafu.com/2022/06/encore-presentation-of-documentary-who-killed-vincent-chin/ | 2022-06-20T02:54:17Z | https://rafu.com/2022/06/encore-presentation-of-documentary-who-killed-vincent-chin/ | true | 1 |
The United States has become increasingly worried about Thailand falling under China’s influence, former US military and civilian officials said, with Beijing applying significant pressure on the US ally in South-East Asia to purchase Chinese-made submarines.
Although the roughly US$400 million deal -- first inked in 2017 to Washington’s chagrin -- now appears to be threatened, with a German-based company refusing to provide diesel engines for the submersible, it shows China’s growing influence with the United States’ nearly two century-year-old treaty ally, part and parcel of Beijing’s increasing reach in South-East Asia.
Bangkok has grown tired of Washington’s chiding over democratic backsliding and human rights abuses, highlighted by coup attempts in 2006 and 2014, the second of which temporarily led the United States to suspend military aid and put current Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha in power. Some in Washington (and inside the Thai parliament) fear that Thailand could veer further toward the path of the Philippines, another long-time US ally that has cosied up to Beijing in recent years. | https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/06/20/us-policy-makers-bangkok-thailand-china/ | 2022-06-20T03:13:22Z | https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/06/20/us-policy-makers-bangkok-thailand-china/ | true | 1 |
Organization enters new era as The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center;
Celebrating with free admission and activities for visitors on Juneteenth Weekend, June 18-19
CHICAGO, June 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than 60 years, the nation's first independent museum of Black history today unveiled a new name and new visual identity: The DuSable Museum of African American History is entering a new era as The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center. The new name reaffirms the historic organization's commitment to educating all people about Black history, culture and experience, and to recognize the global connections and cultures of Black people across the diaspora.

"While The DuSable is an iconic and historical institution, we're also constantly evolving to reach new audiences here at home and across the world," said Perri Irmer, President and CEO of The DuSable Museum. "Our new name and new visual identity further reinforce our founder's commitment to preserve and promote Black history, art and culture, and to educate and inform our visitors, especially during these challenging times. This is a tremendous moment for The DuSable – we don't just preserve history, we make it, too."
The new name and rebranding are supported with a new brand campaign that encourages the public to explore The DuSable by turning "Du." into a call to action.
"The new campaign helps drive everyone to celebrate Black history through action and interaction at the museum," said Dr. Kim L. Dulaney, Vice President of Education and Programs at The DuSable. "We welcome the public to take advantage of our vast educational resources to learn more about the remarkable achievements and countless contributions of Black people."
The museum is offering free admission all weekend, June 18-19. In addition to the rebranding celebration on Saturday, June 18, The DuSable Museum is inviting the public to celebrate the awareness of Freedom Day, and to consider the historic and continuing progress toward full equality at their Juneteenth BBQ and Block Party hosted in partnership with Chance the Rapper on Juneteenth, Sunday, June 19, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT.

America’s Favorite Vegetable Isn’t What You Think
Maybe absence really does make the heart grow stronger. Maybe too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. According to a new report, the potato isn't our favorite vegetable. It may be the State Vegetable of Idaho; but, it's not our favorite. So, what is?. Think...

Lucknow:
Uttar Pradesh's energy transition towards green energy is gaining momentum with strong backing from major players investing in
renewable energy sources.
Investment proposals worth Rs 4,782 crore in
Clean Energy in the ground breaking ceremony held earlier this month, are proof of it.
According to a government spokesman, Uttar Pradesh has become a preferred investment destination for renewables as the Yogi Adityanath government is providing a "favourable environment and full cooperation" to the investors.
The spokesman said that a look at sector-wise distribution of proposals indicates that there are 23 projects in the renewable energy sector, coming up in 21 districts -- Jalaun,
Mau, Ballia, Azamgarh, Sitapur, Jhansi, Banda, Fatehpur, Kanpur, Noida, Aurraiya, Sonbhadra, Agra,
Ambedkar Nagar, Badaun, Mahoba, Mirzapur, Pilibhit, Pratapgarh, Shahjahanpur, and Unnao.
Under the category of projects worth more than Rs 500 crore, Jalaun has the largest investment with two solar plants at two villages in Orai by hydroelectric power generation company SJVN Ltd worth Rs 791 crore.
SJVN is investing an amount of Rs 1000 crore by implementing three
Solar Power Projects in the state. Apart from the two projects in Jalaun, their third
Solar Power Project is in Kanpur.
While, under the category of between Rs 500 crore and 200 crores,
AMP Energy is investing in projects worth Rs 450 crore and Rs 300 crore in Ballia and Mau districts, respectively.
There are several other projects in the same category coming up in Azamgarh, Jhansi, Sitapur, Banda, Fatehpur, Aurraiya, Noida and Sonbhadra districts.
Projects between Rs 200 crore and Rs 10 crore, the largest investment has come up in Jalaun by
SAEL Limited worth Rs 170 crores, followed by Badaun where
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited is making an investment of Rs 125 crores.
The state government is focusing on replacing traditional energy sources like hydrocarbon-based energy with green energy like solar, wind, and green hydrogen. It is also setting up an infrastructure to transmit electricity from renewable energy projects as it seeks to boost the output from green sources and meet the state's energy requirement from them.
Large-scale investments in the renewable energy sector are going to change the biosphere of the state in the coming years.
Moreover, the PM-KUSUM scheme has innovative solutions such as the building of solar power plants on barren land, installation of solar pumps for farmers, and solarisation of existing pumps, with the overall goal of ensuring energy security for the agricultural sector. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/renewable/ups-transition-towards-green-energy-gains-momentum/92325235 | 2022-06-20T03:41:29Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/renewable/ups-transition-towards-green-energy-gains-momentum/92325235 | false | 6 |
NA approves extension of pilot bad debt settlement resolution

Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The National Assembly (NA) has agreed to extend a pilot
resolution on bad debt settlement until the end of 2023 instead of this year.The NA’s Resolution 42/2017/QH14 on piloting bad debt settlement of credit institutions, which was issued in 2017 and was set to expire on August 15 this year, will be applicable until December 31 next year.
Under the new resolution, the NA assigned the Government to study regulations on handling bad debt and collateral, and review to amend the Law on Credit Institutions to submit them to the NA before its meeting in May 2023.
During the extension of Resolution 42, the NA requires the Government to have solutions to overcome existing difficulties and problems besides directing competent ministries and agencies to work to ensure effective implementation of the resolution.
At the NA’s meeting last month, Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Hong reported that after five years of implementing Resolution 42, the bad debt settlement of credit institutions has achieved positive results.
Accordingly, the bad debt ratio of credit institutions was controlled at below 2 percent. Compared with August 15, 2017 when the resolution started, total bad debts declined by 17.21 percent at the end of last year. From August 15, 2017 to November 30, 2021, 373.3 trillion VND (16 billion USD) of bad debt was recovered according to Resolution 42. On average, some 5.67 trillion VND of bad debts were handled each month during the application of Resolution 42, against about 2.14 trillion VND previously.
The Government, therefore, proposed extending Resolution 42 while it studies to legislate the policies specified in the resolution into a new law to continually enable the banking industry to settle bad debts of credit institutions. The issuance of a new law on bad debt handling will help credit institutions maintain and accelerate the handling of bad debts to avoid potential risks for the economy, Hong said.
Experts have also suggested streamlining Resolution 42 to better deal with bad debts.
According to banking expert Can Van Luc, one of the major problems when dealing with bad debts currently is the handling of collateral. The right to seize security assets of a credit institution is one of the key contents in Resolution 42, but it does not specify regulations when the borrowers do not cooperate. Therefore, Luc said it is necessary to have a law on bad debt settlement with a stronger legal framework.
Lawyer Truong Thanh Duc, Director of ANVI Law Firm, said Resolution 42 has a good effect in dealing with bad debts, however, the policy still needs to be further streamlined to improve the handling of bad debts in the banking industry./. | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/na-approves-extension-of-pilot-bad-debt-settlement-resolution/231385.vnp | 2022-06-20T03:48:00Z | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/na-approves-extension-of-pilot-bad-debt-settlement-resolution/231385.vnp | true | 2 |
Australia's Seebohm backs FINA decision on transgender swimmers
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
MELBOURNE, June 20 (Reuters) - Australian Olympic gold medallist Emily Seebohm has welcomed FINA's decision to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in elite women's swimming, saying the sport could now move on with certainty.
FINA made the decision at its extraordinary general congress (EGC) on Sunday after members heard a report from a transgender task force comprising leading medical, legal and sports figures. read more
Five-times world champion Seebohm, who won a medley relay gold medal for Australia at last year's Tokyo Games, said the decision would encourage swimmers to stay in the sport.

"I’m finally happy that we have a decision, and we know where the sport’s going and what we’re going to be doing," the 30-year-old told Sky News Australia on Monday.
"We just didn't know what was going to happen and when we just don't know, it's hard to commit fully to our sport if we have no idea the direction it's going to go.
"We can all move on. We can all just go back to the sport that we love ... and know that we're getting in the pool and it's going to be a fair, level playing field and that's what we want."
Athlete Ally, an advocacy group for LGBTQI+ people in sport, said FINA's decision was "discriminatory" and "harmful".
"If we truly want to protect women’s sports, we must include all women," they said in a post on twitter.
Transgender rights has become a major talking point as sports seek to balance inclusion with fairness.
The debate intensified after University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender NCAA champion in Division I history after winning the women's 500-yard freestyle earlier this year.
FINA said it will create a working group to establish an "open" category for them in some events as part of its new policy.
'FAIR AND SAFE'
Several top Australian female swimmers have raised concerns about competing against transgender athletes.
Four-times Olympic champion Cate Campbell told FINA's EGC that she supported a restriction on transgender athletes competing in women's categories and urged people to "listen to the science and experts".
"Women, who have fought long and hard to be included and seen as equals in sport, can only do so because of the gender category distinction," Campbell said before delegates voted in favour of the ban.
"To remove that distinction would be to the detriment of female athletes everywhere."
However, Madeline Groves, a former national champion swimmer who won a butterfly silver medal at the 2016 Rio Games, took exception to Campbell's comments and was scathing of FINA's ruling.
"You’re okay with ostracising an already marginalised group? Real accepting," the 27-year-old Australian said on social media.
"Shame on everyone that supported this discriminatory and unscientific decision."
Australian women won eight of the country's nine gold medals at the Tokyo pool.
The Australian Olympic Committee also backed FINA's decision, saying sports were bound to ensure participation was "fair and safe."
"While inclusivity must be respected, fairness in competition is a core value of sport," a spokesman said.
"FINA has made a decision based on the circumstances in the sport of swimming to achieve that balance."

Japan art and Shonen Suzuki: Kyoto artist
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
The Japanese artist Suzuki Shônen was born in the middle of the nineteenth century and died in 1918. Throughout his life, the influence of Japanese high culture emanating from Kyoto (his birthplace) – and the importance of China – are abundantly obvious.
His father was an established artist. Thus Shônen developed from a young age under the guidance of his father. In time, Shônen would create a more individualistic style. Hence, he refused to be constrained by the more conservative approach of his father.
In the above art piece by Shônen, the world of Taoism is witnessed through the lens of Japan. The Kyoto National Museum says, “The image of the immortal was particularly idealized within the traditional Chinese religion of Taoism. While Taoism itself was never widely practiced in Japan, its influence can be found in a surprising number of Japanese customs (such as the tradition of giving mid-summer gifts, or ochūgen, which derives from an annual Taoist ritual). Taoist immortals have always been popular subjects for paintings in Japan, where they symbolized the wish for or the celebration of longevity.”
His father installed in Shônen the love of the past and the importance of Chinese and Japanese high culture. Hence, despite the modernization processes that occurred even before the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) – and after the start of this period in Japanese history – they both sought to preserve the importance of the past.
The MET Museum says, “Together with his father, Suzuki Hyakunen, Shonen was one of the leading painters active in Kyoto during the Meiji period. After the country became more open to the West in the second half of the nineteenth century, they made efforts to preserve the subjects and style of traditional Japanese painting.”
He wasn’t afraid to turn his back on government involvement in the artistic scene. Hence, with the title of him being the “modern Soga Shohaku” in his lifetime – along with his flamboyant nature – Shônen provided the artistic scene with a notable individual.

TOKYO (BLOOMBERG) - Support for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's Cabinet slid in a series of media surveys carried out over the weekend, as respondents indicated dissatisfaction with his handling of rising prices weeks ahead of an election.
The premier's support fell 6 percentage points to 60 per cent, the lowest since February, in a poll carried out by the Nikkei newspaper June 17-19, while the proportion saying they did not support his Cabinet leapt 9 percentage points to 32 per cent. About 69 per cent of respondents to the survey said they did not approve of his handling of inflation.
Mr Kishida is heading into a campaign for a key Upper House election set to be held July 10.
A strong performance in the vote for the less-powerful of Japan's two houses would give the Premier as long as three years without the need to face another test at the polls.
A separate poll by TV news network ANN also found support for the Cabinet had fallen 2 percentage points to 49 per cent, while a survey published Saturday by Mainichi found a 5 percentage point drop to 48 per cent, with about two-thirds of respondents saying they were having trouble making ends meet due to inflation.
Still, opposition parties show little sign of being able to take advantage of the dilemma facing Mr Kishida and his long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party is calling for a rethink of Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy, but only 7 per cent of respondents to the Nikkei survey said they supported the party, flat on the previous month and compared with 45 per cent for the LDP.
Japan's April core inflation rate was 2.1 per cent, far below levels seen in the United States, with May figures due to be released on Friday (June 24). Monetary policy has become an unusual bone of contention in the run-up to the vote, with 46 per cent of respondents to the Nikkei poll saying the BOJ should not continue its ultra-easy policy, compared with 36 per cent saying it should. The BOJ's monetary policy divergence from US tightening has accelerated the yen's nosedive.
Both the government and the BOJ have expressed concern about the currency's rapid fall and the government has provided handouts for low-income households to try to alleviate the effect of price rises.
Mr Kishida told a Fuji TV programme on Sunday that the BOJ should stick to its policy because any rise in interest rates could increase the burden on small and medium-sized businesses. | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/inflation-cuts-into-kishidas-support-ahead-of-japanese-upper-house-election | 2022-06-20T04:13:14Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/inflation-cuts-into-kishidas-support-ahead-of-japanese-upper-house-election | false | 3 |

In a move that will have some Western admirals feeling a little seasick, China launched its brand new aircraft carrier near Shanghai on Friday. The vessel Fujian is considered a major breakthrough for the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s range and power, with its capabilities expected to rival those of the most advanced carriers in the West. “This is an important milestone for China’s military-industrial complex,” Ridzwan Rahmat, an analyst at defense intelligence company Jane’s, told the Associated Press. “This ability to construct a very complex warship from the ground up will inevitably result in various spinoffs and benefits for the Chinese shipbuilding industry.” Chinese state media said the Fujian has a fully loaded displacement on 80,000 tons—but U.S. analysts say it’s actually closer to 100,000, similar to American carriers. The warship is also uses an electromagnetic catapult launch system like one first designed by the U.S. Navy. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2639048384448/this-new-superyacht-will-be-one-of-the-world-s-fastest | 2022-06-20T04:25:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2639048384448/this-new-superyacht-will-be-one-of-the-world-s-fastest | false | 25 |
Cases of monkeypox in Italy have risen to 71, the director general of the country’s health ministry Giovanni Rezza said.
In its previous update on June 9, the Italian health ministry said it had detected 29 cases.
More than 30 countries where monkeypox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease as confirmed cases approach 1,900, most of them in Europe.
Monkeypox, which spreads through close contact and was first found in monkeys, mostly occurs in West and Central Africa and only very occasionally spreads elsewhere. | https://cde.news/italys-monkeypox-cases-rise-to-over-70/ | 2022-06-20T04:27:21Z | https://cde.news/italys-monkeypox-cases-rise-to-over-70/ | true | null |
Hollywood actor Amber Heard was recently spotted shopping at a discount department store in New York’s Hamptons. However, according to sources of the New York Post, the actor, who lost to ex-husband and actor Johnny Depp over the defamation trial, was supposedly ‘broke’. Heard owes Depp a sum of USD 8.4 million in damages for defaming Depp. In addition, she also has to pay hefty legal fees linked with the trial case.Defamation VerdictAlso Read - Amber Heard Says She 'Still Loves' Johnny Depp, Days After Losing The Defamation Trail
According to Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft, Heard did not possess the means to cover the judgement passed down on her by the jury. “Oh no, absolutely not,” said Bredehoft, as reported by the New York Post.

In spite of having a monetary shortage, the ‘Aquaman’ star went on a shopping spree at TJ Maxx in New York’s Bridgehampton where clothes are quite cheap, with an average home requirement costing about USD 3.8 million. The pictures reveal that Heard was wearing a simple white-coloured oversized T-shirt and a pair of blue denim as she looks at the clothes in the store. The 36-year-old actor was accompanied by her sister Whitney Henriquez, who also appeared during the defamation trial and testified on Heard’s behalf, reported the New York Post.

Whether or not Heard bought anything was not clear. Sources have pointed out that, post the trial, Heard was counting on the insurance policy of her homeowner to meet the costs of her lawyers.
As per the Celebrity Net Worth site, the net worth of Heard is somewhere between USD 1.5 million and USD 2.5 million, reported New York Times. Heard’s total income is thus far away from what she owes Depp.
After the recent six-week trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, a seven-person jury reached a verdict on June 1, deciding that Depp, proved that Heard defamed him in the 2018 op-ed. Depp has maintained that he never assaulted Heard and claimed she physically harmed him.
The jury awarded Depp USD 15 million in damages but Heard will only have to pay USD 8.4 million due to a Virginia law limiting punitive damages. In her countersuit, Heard won one of the three defamation counts and was awarded USD 2 million in damages, as per People magazine.

TUNIS, June 18 (Reuters) – Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Tunis on Saturday in opposition to a referendum on a new constitution called by President Kais Saied that would cement his hold on power.
The protest led by Abir Moussi, leader of the Free Constitutional Party, reflected growing opposition to Saied since he seized executive power last year, dissolving parliament and ruling by decree in a move opponents called a coup.
Thousands marched from Bab Souika Square in the capital towards Kasbah Square, waving Tunisian flags and chanting slogans such as “We want to take back our kidnapped country.”
Saied is seeking to overhaul the constitution to give the presidency more powers, against the backdrop of a tanking economy and fears of a public finance crisis. He intends to put the new constitution to a referendum on July 25.
His supporters say he is standing up to elite forces whose bungling and corruption have condemned Tunisia to a decade of political paralysis and economic stagnation.
However nearly all Tunisia’s political parties have rejected the proposed referendum, along with the powerful UGTT labour union. | https://cde.news/tunisians-protest-against-constitution-referendum-as-opposition-grows/ | 2022-06-20T04:30:48Z | https://cde.news/tunisians-protest-against-constitution-referendum-as-opposition-grows/ | false | 2 |

The most important comments from the third public hearing this month of the House Jan. 6 committee came right at the end. After the panel heard testimony detailing the efforts to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to illegally try to overturn the election, former Judge J. Michael Luttig pointed out that even now, “Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy.”
That’s “because to this very day, the former president and his allies and supporters pledge” — if they lost next time — “they would attempt to overturn that 2024 election … but succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020.” Luttig, who advised Pence prior to Jan. 6, continued: “I don’t speak those words lightly. I would have never spoken those words ever in my life, except that that’s what the former president and his allies are telling us.”
The committee’s hearings have done an excellent job for the most part in reminding us that, for all the details, what this is really about is an effort by a president of the United States to unlawfully overturn an election — and, therefore, to overthrow the government and the constitutional order. And as Luttig emphasized, the threat continues.
The trick for the committee is to keep this main point in the forefront, while also telling the full story that goes with it and including enough fascinating details to keep the attention of key audiences. As political scientist Shana Kushner Gadarian says, “the tactic of focusing on one person at a time in these committee hearings — Trump, Pence, [John] Eastman — to build the narrative is very smart.”
In addition, members of the committee have been willing to defer to others to allow the story to flow clearly. After three hearings, we’ve only heard from four of the nine members. I can’t underline strongly enough how extraordinary it is for the other five — each one of them an ambitious politician — to sit silently through hours of live TV coverage, all for the benefit of the committee as a whole.
In the session on Thursday, California Democrat Pete Aguilar led the questioning but turned over the floor to a committee staff lawyer for a good part of the session. That allowed Aguilar to point out that the committee has a bipartisan staff: The lawyer was a Republican who served in the George W. Bush administration.
No one who is fanatically loyal to Donald Trump is going to be impressed that the committee is functioning in a bipartisan way or that the damning evidence comes from people from the former president’s administration. The true believers simply dismiss the Republican participants in the hearings as RINOs — Republicans in name only. But the panel should and certainly may impress open-minded Republicans who are skeptical of Trump but also wary of House Democrats as well as folks in the “neutral” media trying to assess how seriously to take the proceedings. And perhaps it will impress Justice Department prosecutors.
I remain convinced that the committee erred badly in waiting so long to hold these hearings, and in spending so little time on the public portion of the case. Yes, given the model they’ve chosen, they’ve done an excellent job. And had they gone into public hearings back in February, or last November, they would have been working with a much smaller base of information. We wouldn’t have had some of the blockbuster testimony. So there are some advantages of having waited.
Still, there’s at least some evidence that the hearings are producing information now that could have been available six months ago. “New evidence is breaking every single day now,” committee member Jamie Raskin says. “Suddenly a lot of people want to tell the truth.” Perhaps that’s just a coincidence. But as we’ve seen in other investigations, once some people talk, the incentives change for everyone else to get their perspective on the record. That process could have happened months ago.
On top of that, reporters get new leads to follow. There’s even a chance that the process can (as it did during Watergate) spark a race by the participants to prosecutors to cut the best deal before someone else does. But even without that airing the investigation has generally found a good way to generate new information. All of that was delayed in the months we were waiting for hearings.
Even in the deadly serious business of investigating an attempt to overthrow the government, hearings can provide light moments, giving us entertaining characters — some sympathetic, some not at all — and memorable phrases and anecdotes. We heard on Thursday that Pence reacted to Trump lawyer John Eastman’s suggestions that he break the law by saying it was “rubber room stuff.”
More appears to be left on the cutting-room floor. Referring to White House lawyer Eric Herschmann and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, my Bloomberg colleague Timothy L. O’Brien was surely correct to point out “the contrast between Herschmann’s clear, principled testimony and the smug, scurvy testimony from Kushner that those worried about illegalities were ‘whining.’”
But that contrast would have been so much more notable had we had live testimony rather than taped highlights from both Herschmann and Kushner. This wasn’t going to happen given the schedule the committee set — a choice it could have made differently.
Such criticisms aside, what the committee is presenting continues to be devastating. Thursday’s hearing detailed how Trump and his allies were committed to using methods of trying to overturn the election that were obviously contrary to the law, and that they knew and simply didn’t care. Earlier in the week, we heard how they also knew, and didn’t care, that their accusations of fraud were not true.
We learned again, too, just how close the nation came to an even worse disaster on Jan. 6 — that the mob stirred up by Trump came within only 40 feet of Pence and his security escort as they fled to safer ground.
It’s still almost hard to believe that it all happened. And that many Republicans are running in 2022 — and already for 2024 — on a platform of making sure they’ll finish the job next time.

Think squad for T20 WC is already been shortlisted: Former India coach on Men in Blue's selection of players
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar said that he believes India have already shortlisted 17-18 players for the T20 World Cup squad and the intention behind giving the new guys a chance to be part of the set-up is to make them familiar with the dressing room. Hardik Pandya will be leading a young side during two T20Is against Ireland.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar suggested that India might already have shortlisted squad for T20 World Cup
- Bangar said that intention behind the team givong chances to younger players is to make familiar with the dressing room atmosphere
- India drew the 5-match series 2-2 after the Bengaluru game was washed out
With a few of their first-choice players taking a break and some of them injured, the Indian team still hasn't played with a line-up or close to what they will feature in the T20 World Cup. However, former batting coach Sanjay Bangar suggested that the Men in Blue have already shortlisted 17-18 players they will be playing in the showpiece event in Australia.
While many reckoned that the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik should have gotten a chance to show what they are capable of at the highest level in the recently concluded series against South Africa where India didn't make a single change, Bangar elaborated the thinking of the team management behind the same.
Talking before the 4th T20I at Rajkot, Bangar had said that the new players are brought into the squad to give them a feel and experience of what it's like to be in an Indian squad and to acclimatise them with the dressing room environment suggesting that the ones not getting games might not be on the flight to Australia.

“I think Umran Malik, for example, is brought into the squad to make him familiar with the dressing room atmosphere, and how an international team functions. Because IPL is a domestic league at the end of the day and international cricket is a step up from that. So, some players have been selected in the squad to give them that experience,” Bangar had said on Star Sports.
The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja were rested for the series while Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were injured. Surya is set to return in the two T20Is against Ireland and a few more youngsters in Rahul Tripathi and Sanju Samson have been called up to the squad as well.
But Bangar believed that the squad for T20 World Cup has already been shortlisted and the games before that give them a chance to test their bench strength.
Related News
“I believe that the 11 players who have played in this series so far, and the first-team players who are rested, I think those 17-18 players have already been shortlisted (for the T20 World Cup squad)," Bangar added.
India will play a couple of T20 matches against Ireland under Hardik Pandya before three T20Is against England.

Last week ended with the shock revelation that inflation has not peaked. The months after the Lehman bankruptcy, the aftermath of 9/11 and the dot-com crash, Black Monday, the pandemic panic of March 2020, and the Oil Shock- there haven’t been many events since the end of WWII as disastrous for stocks as the past two weeks.
Worldwide, 33 rate-setting central banks have raised borrowing costs in the past month. The Federal Reserve is now the most aggressive in the G-10 year-to-date, a fact that justifies the dollar’s strength and will help sustain it. Speculative traders are ramping up their bullish bets on the greenback. Net long non-commercial positions in futures linked to the ICE U.S. Dollar Index surged to the highest in five years, according to the latest CFTC data.
Given the size of the euro flow in particular, however, the aggregate dollar rose by a little over $2 billion on the week. The Fed’s most aggressive rate hike in two decades has emboldened dollar bulls with the central bank vowing last week that its fight to restore price stability is “unconditional.” Bulls also have the natural hedge of the dollar smile to give them comfort behind their wagers, its history as a haven should fears of a policy error push risk assets into another sell-off.
However, the Indian rupee remained resilient and range-bound among volatile Asian currencies which registered big swings and volatility after the hawkish Federal Reserve. Spot USDINR consolidated in the narrow range of 77.80 to 78.30 before settling at 78.07 with a gain of 0.30% or 24 paise.
This week may be another calm for the local forex markets with old factors like crude oil prices, risk sentiments and foreign funds flows to drive. Technically, USDINR is having resistance at 78.40 and support at 77.70.

MPOPOMA-PELANDABA MP Charles Moyo has channelled his Constituency Development Funds (CDF) towards rehabilitation of sporting facilities in his constituency.

“We are the current leaders as well as the future of this country, peer pressure will make our youth perish, so to try and help our youth I will use the CDF to refurbish youth centres and sports fields,” he said.
“We are grading and leveling sports fields in the constituency. We have done Bango sports field and Inyathi youth centre grounds,” Moyo said.
He said in 2018 he got $50 000 as CDF and half of it was used to fence the Bango disability gardens; and in 2019/2020, the $335 000 CDF funds were used to install water tanks in ward 13 near West Commonage.

NEW YORK, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Spero Therapeutics, Inc. ("Spero" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SPRO) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and docketed under 22-cv-03125, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Spero securities between October 28, 2021 and May 2, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Spero securities during the Class Period, you have until July 25, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
Spero, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, focuses on identifying, developing, and commercializing treatments for multi-drug resistant bacterial infections and rare diseases in the United States. The Company's product candidates include Tebipenem Pivoxil Hydrobromide (HBr), an oral carbapenem-class antibiotic to treat complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis for adults.
On October 28, 2021, Spero announced that it had submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for Tebipenem HBr for the Treatment of Complicated Urinary Tract Infections including Pyelonephritis (the "Tebipenem HBr NDA").
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the data submitted in support of the Tebipenem HBr NDA were insufficient to obtain FDA approval; (ii) accordingly, it was unlikely that the FDA would approve the Tebipenem HBr NDA in its current form; (iii) the foregoing would necessitate a significant workforce reduction and restructuring of Spero's operations; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 31, 2022, Spero issued a press release announcing the Company's fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results. In the press release, Spero disclosed that "[t]he U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has notified Spero that, as part of its ongoing review of Spero's New Drug Application (NDA) for tebipenem HBr, it has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and post-marketing requirements/commitments at this time."
On this news, Spero's stock price fell $1.59 per share, or 18.27%, to close at $7.11 per share on April 1, 2022.
Then on May 3, 2022, Spero issued a press release announcing "that it will immediately defer current commercialization activities for tebipenem HBr based on feedback from a recent Late Cycle Meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding Spero's New Drug Application (NDA) for tebipenem HBr[,]" and that, "[a]lthough the review is still ongoing and the FDA has not yet made any final determination regarding approvability, the discussion suggested that the data package may be insufficient to support approval during this review cycle." Specifically, the FDA advised the Company, in relevant part, that the FDA's separate analysis of the relevant study population had "reduce[d] the number of evaluable patients in the primary analysis population compared with those resulting from the trial's pre-specified micro-ITT population as outlined in the statistical analysis plan and [a]s a result, the FDA considers that the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of -12.5% was not met." Further, the press release advised that, "[i]n connection with this development, Spero announced that it is undertaking a reduction in its workforce by approximately 75% and a restructuring of its operations to reduce operating costs and reallocate resources."
On this news, Spero's stock price fell $3.24 per share, or 63.65%, to close at $1.85 per share on May 3, 2022.

NEW YORK, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. ("Axsome" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AXSM) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under 22-cv-03925, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Axsome securities between December 30, 2019 and April 22, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Axsome securities during the Class Period, you have until July 12, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
Axsome is a biopharmaceutical company that engages in the development of novel therapies for central nervous system disorders in the United States. The Company is developing, among other product candidates, AXS-07, a novel, oral, rapidly absorbed, multi-mechanistic, and investigational medicine for the acute treatment of migraine.
Axsome consistently touted AXS-07's regulatory and commercial prospects in anticipation of the Company's submission a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for AXS-07 for the acute treatment of migraine (the "AXS-07 NDA") based on the drug's positive results in two Phase 3 trials. However, unbeknownst to investors, the Company's preparation and eventual submission of the AXS-07 NDA was plagued with chemistry, manufacturing, and control ("CMC") issues.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Axsome's CMC practices were deficient with respect to AXS-07 and its manufacturing process; (ii) as a result, Axsome was unlikely to submit the AXS-07 NDA on its initially represented timeline; (iii) the foregoing CMC issues remained unresolved at the time that the FDA reviewed the AXS-07 NDA; (iv) accordingly, the FDA was unlikely to approve the AXS-07 NDA; (v) as a result of all the foregoing, Axsome had overstated AXS-07's regulatory and commercial prospects; and (vi) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On November 5, 2020, Axsome issued a press release reporting the Company's third quarter 2020 results. That press release disclosed that the Company "plans to submit the [AXS-07] NDA to the FDA in the first quarter of 2021, versus previous guidance of the fourth quarter of 2020, to allow for inclusion of supplemental manufacturing information to ensure a robust submission package."
On this news, Axsome's stock price fell $5.22 per share, or 6.99%, to close at $69.51 per share on November 5, 2020.
Then, on April 25, 2022, Axsome disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that, "[o]n April 22, 2022, Axsome . . . was informed by the [FDA] that [CMC] issues identified during the FDA's review of the Company's [NDA] for its AXS-07 product candidate for the acute treatment of migraine are unresolved." That filing also disclosed that "[b]ased upon the time remaining in the NDA review cycle, the Company expects to receive a Complete Response Letter [('CRL')] with respect to this NDA on or about the Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of April 30, 2022."
On this news, Axsome's stock price fell $8.60 per share, or 21.99%, to close at $30.50 per share on April 25, 2022.
Finally, on May 2, 2022, Axsome announced that it received a CRL from the FDA regarding the AXS-07 NDA for the acute treatment of migraine. According to the Company, "[t]he principal reasons given in the CRL relate to [CMC] considerations" including "the need for additional CMC data pertaining to the drug product and manufacturing process."

Pope's future sparks debate, resignation seems unlikely
Pope Francis has fuelled the rumour mill with a postponed Africa trip and the curious timing of an upcoming meeting of cardinals -- but experts caution against assuming a resignation is nigh.
Hobbled by pain in his knee and forced to use a wheelchair in recent weeks, the 85-year-old pontiff postponed a July trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan last week.
That move, along with an unusual decision to hold a consistory to name new cardinals during the vacation month of August, triggered intense speculation about his plans for the future, including the most radical -- that he was planning to step down.
Not so fast, many say.
"In the pope's entourage, the majority of people don't really believe in the possibility of a resignation," a Vatican source told AFP.
Rumours within the insular Roman Curia -- the Catholic Church's powerful governing body -- are nothing new, and often fuelled by those with an interest, said Italian Vatican expert Marco Politi.

"These rumours are encouraged by the pope's opponents who are only eager to see Francis leave," he told AFP.
Door to retired popes
The resignation of a pope was once almost unthinkable. But when Benedict XVI stood down in 2013, citing his declining physical and mental health, he set a precedent.
In 2014, a year after being elected to replace Benedict, Francis himself told reporters that were his health to impede his functions as pope, he would consider stepping down too.
"He (Benedict) opened a door, the door to retired popes," the pontiff said then.
More recently in May, as reported by various Italian media, Francis joked about his knee during a closed-door meeting with bishops: "Rather than operate, I'll resign."
However, a trip to Canada at the end of July is still on the pontiff's schedule, and the pope continues to receive injections in his knee and physical therapy, according to the Vatican.
As a child, Francis had one of his lungs partially removed. Today, besides his knee issue, he suffers recurring sciatic nerve pain.
Rumours of a resignation also flared last year after Francis underwent colon surgery, prompting him to tell a Spanish radio station that the idea "hadn't even crossed my mind".
But beyond his health, a series of calendared events in upcoming months have some Vatican watchers questioning whether Francis is laying the groundwork for retirement, while ensuring that his reforms stay intact.
Convening cardinals
First was his decision to call an extraordinary consistory for August 27, a slow summer month at the Vatican, to create 21 new cardinals -- 16 of whom will be under the age of 80, thereby eligible to elect his successor in a future conclave.
Since becoming pope in 2013, the Argentine pontiff has created 83 cardinals in a move to shape the future of the Catholic Church, in part to counter Europe's historically dominant influence, and to reflect his values.
On August 28, Francis will pay a visit to L'Aquila and the tomb of Celestine V -- the first pope to have resigned from the papacy, in the 13th century.
He then joins the world's cardinals -- many of them meeting their peers for the first time -- in two days of discussions over the reform of the Roman Curia, which Francis announced in March with the unveiling of a new constitution.
Francis' shake-up of the Roman Curia attempts to shift the Church back towards its pastoral roots, allows lay Catholics to head Vatican departments and creates a dicastery specifically for charity works among other reforms.
Could the August calendar be taken as a hint, as some in the media have suggested?
"At this stage, it is a question of being realistic and not alarmist," Politi cautioned.
He said it was "hard to imagine" Francis would resign while the Synod of Bishops -- an initiative meaningful to Francis that is intended to study how the Church moves forward in a more inclusive way -- is ongoing, due to complete in 2023.
Alberto Melloni, a professor of Christianity and secretary of the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Sciences in Bologna, told AFP "preposterous" conjectures had been made about the pope's health and his intentions.
"These are things in which there is a desire to understand, to speculate, but there is little to say," he said.

Round 15 sees the return of the nine-match fixture following three weeks of bye rounds.
Melbourne kick off the weekend on Thursday night, hosting Brisbane at the MCG in a top of the table clash.
Fremantle travel to Marvel Stadium to play against Carlton, who are coming off a loss against the Tigers.
Geelong and Richmond battle at the home of football on Saturday afternoon, while the Saints and Swans are looking to redeem themselves after poor showings in the week gone by.
The Sporting News has all the latest news on AFL players in the reserves.

The Giants are looking to bolster their side with some familiar faces as they come to the MCG to face Collingwood on Sunday afternoon.
Tim Taranto and Phil Davis both played in the VFL over the weekend in their bid to return from injury.
Taranto is almost a certain selection for the match-up against the Pies, collecting 32 touches and eight marks after three weeks off.
The 24-year-old usually enjoys playing against the black-and-white, averaging over 25 touches and seven tackles and will be a handy inclusion.
Former skipper Davis may also be chosen in the young defensive line-up headed by Sam Taylor, after being absent from the senior side since round two.
The ex-Crow amassed 25 disposals and 17 marks and could be brought in to help nullify the in-form American Mason Cox.
Lachie Hunter is set to return to the AFL side after an extended stint on the sidelines due to personal reasons.
Hunter is likely to return and take his place on the side, following his one goal, 30-disposal performance in the reserves.
Taylor Duryea was subbed out of the win against the Giants in the second quarter, and the 27-year-old fits the bill to replace him.
The Dogs come up against the Hawks and will need to be at their best if they are serious about making finals.
Sydney have a host of in-form players they could bring in for their clash against St Kilda, following their disappointing loss to Port Adelaide.
Ben Ronke keeps pressing his case in the twos, kicking three goals and gathering 20 touches over the weekend.
Joel Amartey kicked five majors and was dominant, knocking on the door for senior selection.
Swans coach John Longmire has plenty of work to do, with the forward line struggling to fire, resulting in one goal between his three talls (Lance Franklin, Logan McDonald and Sam Reid).
Tom Papley and Sam Wicks were kept goalless, with the latter struggling to cement his spot in the team.
Geelong's Max Holmes is also ready to go, after putting on an impressive effort in the VFL.
The Cats came away with the four points against West Coast, but would be excited by the availability of their young star.
Holmes collected 21 touches and 10 tackles in his bid for a recall and is likely to face the Tigers.

Which hats for dogs are best?
Just like humans, dogs have eyes that are sensitive to sunlight and because of this, many owners have begun giving their pets hats to help preserve their vision in the brightest climates. As a bonus, it is adorable. There are numerous kinds of hats for dogs in various styles, perfect for going on a morning hike or celebrating your pup’s next birthday.
What to know before you buy hats for dogs
Function
Initially, many companies began making hats for dogs to help them see better in harsher climates where the sun is exceptionally bright. This is perfect for dogs who go on morning hikes through desert or chaparral areas. Hats make it easier for dogs to see and also help keep them cool. However, it’s important to note that some hats are more cosmetic than functional.
Occasion
It is essential to consider the kind of occasion you intend to use your dog hat for. Many hats are designed to help dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors and need some added protection from the sun. However, some hats are perfect for any occasion, such as a doggy birthday party or celebrating their graduation from training school.
Size
Many hats for dogs will come with a one-size-fits-all description or have sizes similar to human hat sizes. However, it’s important to realize that many hats are specifically designed for a certain size of the dog, much like dog collars. A key consideration will be to pay attention to whether larger breeds or smaller dogs can wear the hat.
What to look for in quality hats for dogs
Style
Like regular hats, there are several different hats for dogs, including baseball caps, party hats, and even propeller hats. Deciding on what kind of style hat fits your dog can be tricky, but just like choosing a hat for yourself, finding the right product can come down to personality and personal style.
Shape
Much like size, the shape of a dog hat can vary depending on the type of hat. Most will be round enough for the average dog’s head to fit in, but other kinds of hats may not fit this rule. It’s essential to pay attention to the shape of the dog hat and make sure that it will be comfortable for your pooch to wear, especially if it is intended to be worn for an extended period.
Straps
There are two types of dog hats: strapped and strapless. Strapless hats are for dogs who are comfortable and enjoy the sensation of having a hat on their head. Other dogs may find the feeling of a hat a foreign concept, which is where hats with straps come in handy. Dog hats that come with straps can adjust comfortably around a dog’s neck to provide a snug fit and ensure that the hat will not fall off.
How much you can expect to spend on hats for dogs
Hats for dogs are very affordable, regardless of the style of hat you want to purchase. Generally, the price will range between $5-$30, depending on the brand, design, and style of hat.
Hats for dogs FAQ
What if my dog does not want to wear a hat?
A. This is a possibility, as some dogs do not like headgear. You should never force your pet to wear one, because they will work to remove it regardless. If your dog is sensitive to sunlight, another alternative is dog sunglasses.
What is the most comfortable kind of hat for dogs?
A. The truth is that it depends on the dog. Some dogs do not mind wearing any kind of hat and can even wear one that does not require a strap. Others will prefer to utilize a strap to keep it on their heads. The best way to find out is to test your hats on your dog to see how they react.

"The recent #IAEA BoG resolution sponsored by #E3 and the #US provides reasons to believe that they try to derail the #ViennaTalks on #JCPOA," Russia's Permanent Representative in Vienna-based International Organizations Mikhail Ulyanov wrote in a tweet on Monday to refer to the anti-Tehran resolution which was passed recently.
"But in my view, it was a non-intentional strategic miscalculation and those countries still aim at successful finalization on the talks," he added.
In a tweet, last Monday, Ulyanov also wrote, "The crisis over #IAEA cameras was “hand-made”. Sincerely can’t understand why the Western participants in the #ViennaTalks on #JCPOA decided to put further negotiations at risk by tabling the resolution on #Iran in the IAEA Board of Governors."
Russia and China voted against the Western-drafted anti-Tehran resolution at the IAEA’s Board of Governors on June 9.
Iran retaliated against the illegal resolution by disconnecting and removing dozens of IAEA surveillance cameras that were installed in different Iranian nuclear sites beyond the Safeguards Agreement between Tehran and the Agency.
It has also started fueling advanced IR-6 centrifuges as part of the reaction to the Western-drafted resolution at the IAEA.
Tehran has vowed it will take other measures if the IAEA continues its illegal moves.

NEW YORK, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Arqit Quantum Inc. (f/k/a Centricus Acquisition Corp.) ("Arqit" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ARQQ). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Arqit and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On April 18, 2022, The Wall Street Journal published a story entitled: "British Encryption Startup Arqit Overstates Its Prospects, Former Staff and Others Say." The Wall Street Journal reported, among other things, that "Arqit has given investors an overly optimistic view of its future revenue and the readiness and workability of its signature encryption system", citing "former employees and other people familiar with the company, and documents viewed." Specifically, "people familiar with the matter said that the bulk of [Arqit's] committed revenue isn't from selling its product and that at its public launch, [Arqit] had little more than an early-stage prototype of its encryption system. Several clients [Arqit] lists—including a number of British government agencies—are simply giving Arqit research grants, nonbinding memorandums of understanding or research agreements that come with no funding, not contracts for its encryption product, they said." The article also reported that "[i]n April 2021, Arqit's chief revenue officer resigned after raising concerns with [Arqit's CEO] that he was overstating contracts and giving unrealistic revenue projections to potential investors".
On this news, Arqit's stock price fell $4.61 per share, or 30.61%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $10.45 per share on April 19, 2022.
