Following its opening, Germany's documenta, one of the biggest modern art exhibitions worldwide, has covered up a piece of art over anti-Semitic allegations.
The banner, by Indonesian artist collective Taring Padi, is being covered, the documenta said on Monday evening after a decision was taken by the collective, the management and artistic direction.
The move came after several groups demanded the removal of the large-scale banner that features a soldier with a pig's face wearing a scarf with a Star of David and a helmet with the inscription "Mossad," the name of the Israeli intelligence agency.
The Israeli Embassy has expressed outrage at the image, while the American Jewish Committee Berlin demanded the immediate dismissal of documenta director Sabine Schormann.
"The elements shown in some exhibits are reminiscent of the propaganda of Goebbels and his henchmen in dark times of German history," the embassy said. "They have absolutely nothing to do with freedom of expression, but are an expression of old-style anti-Semitism."
Earlier, the director of the Anne Frank Education Centre, Meron Mendel, German Culture Minister Claudia Roth and the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, also slammed the work.
"These pictures leave no room for interpretation at all. This is clear anti-Semitic incitement," Mendel told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa).
Alongside his demand that the work be covered up or removed, Mendel called for a discussion of the problems surrounding this year's documenta.
The documenta organizers have already faced accusations of anti-Semitism in the runup to the show over the inclusion of artists and groups that support a cultural boycott of Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
This edition of documenta is being curated by the Indonesian art collective Ruangrupa, which has rejected the earlier criticisms, calling instead for discussion.
The latest spat comes after Germany's president criticized what he called a "thoughtless, frivolous" approach by some artists toward Israel as he opened the sprawling exhibition on Saturday.
"Art is allowed to be offensive, it should trigger debate. But the line is crossed when criticism of Israel turns into questioning its existence," President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
The recognition of Israel as a nation is the basis and prerequisite of any debate in Germany, he said.
Next to the Venice Biennale, the documenta is considered one of the world's most important contemporary art exhibitions.
The 15th edition of the documenta, a three-month spectacle that puts the city of Kassel on the art world map every five years, runs to Sept. 25.

Anesti Danelis Brings Third Solo Musical Comedy Show To The 2022 Toronto Fringe Festival This July
This Show Will Change Your Life to the 2022 Toronto Fringe Festival runs July 6th – 17th, 2022 at the Al Green Theatre.
Award-winning comedian, musician, writer, filmmaker and viral internet sensation, Anesti Danelis brings his highly anticipated third solo musical comedy show This Show Will Change Your Life to the 2022 Toronto Fringe Festival taking place from July 6th - 17th, 2022 at the Al Green Theatre (750 Spadina Ave).
Inspired by the deep well of vapid internet gurus, and aggressive self-help books yelling at you to "Get Your F**king Sh*t Together!!!" Anesti Danelis has decided that he will also add his voice to the oversaturated void of unsolicited advice. With catchy songs on guitar, piano, and violin you will be serenaded about: stealing from work, living at home, mermaids with unsolicited advice, the dangers of toying with a bisexual man's heart, alternative medicines, mental health breaths, signs your partner is cheating on you (they're wearing shoes, pants, and a shirt? who are they trying to impress?), and so much more.
"This Show Will Change Your Life is a musical comedy concert that spoofs wellness culture and self-help advice. I feel like we're constantly being bombarded with advice to "how to change your life!" by random people online or in print." said Anesti Danelis "Sometimes I'll be scrolling through TikTok and I'll get videos on "how to manifest your dreams," or someone will be performing reiki on camera to "cleanse my aura," or I'll walk into a book store and a book will be like "How to UN-F**K YOURSELF, YOU A**HOLE!" I thought it would be fun to poke at this, and
show how ridiculous some of the self-help world can be and that absolutely no one knows sh*t. This show is a ridiculously fun time packed with funny original songs set to great music. If you're a fan of Flight of the Conchords or the Lonely Island, then this kind of show is right up your alley. I hope audiences walk away feeling like they can change their lives themselves without having to listen to any wellness gurus on Instagram telling them that micro dosing kombucha while practicing gratitude in the wilderness will solve their problems."
Showtimes for This Show Will Change Your Life
Wednesday, July 6th - 7:30pm
Friday, July 8th - 4:45pm
Sunday, July 10th - 5:00pm
Monday, July 11th - 9:30pm

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quest Analytics, the leader in provider network management solutions and services, today announced that the company will attend AHIP 2022. At the conference, Quest Analytics will share new features and functionalities in their Quest Enterprise Services platform that ensure compliance with new network adequacy and provider directory accuracy requirements.
In addition, Quest Analytics' Chairman Roger Holstein will speak about health equity and what health plans can do to ensure that access to care is, in fact, equal access. The session entitled, "Can we transform health plan networks into health equity networks," will take place on Wednesday, June 22, from 2:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT as part of the Data, Analytics, and Actionable Intelligence track.
The presentation explores the substantial disparities in health outcomes amongst racial and socially disadvantaged populations. Disparities which are not, in fact, due to race nor individual choices, but largely due to systemic racial bias, social determinants and the historical policies which led to them. His presentation will address the following questions: 1) what is health equity? 2) do today's health plan networks improve health disparities or potentially and inadvertently reinforce them? and 3) what can health plans and providers do to ensure that access to care reduces health inequities?
"We have known about disparities in health outcomes for a very long time, and while there have been recent improvements in access to health care via the ACA—these disparities still exist and in most cases, are not improving," said Roger Holstein, Chairman, Quest Analytics. "I believe that health plans and health systems are the foundation of improving health equity— and my talk explores ways to ensure that access to care, is to the best of our ability, equal access to care to improve health and outcomes for all Americans."

The gender and race wage gap is narrowing, but access to opportunity and discrepancies in salaries persist for underrepresented tech talent.
NEW YORK, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hired, an AI-driven marketplace matching tech and sales talent with top companies, today released its annual State of Wage Inequality in the Tech Industry: Hired's 2022 Impact Report. The wage gap – the difference in salaries between two defined demographic groups – across gender and race is narrowing, but still prevalent. Black women continue to see the widest gap among the demographics analyzed.
Every year, Hired's Impact Report finds there is a strong link between the wage gap and salary expectations of underrepresented candidates. Hired data continues to show groups who are paid less also expect lower salaries than their white male counterparts – even if they have the same experience. Race and gender combined are the strongest drivers to the expectation gap – with Hispanic women and Black women only expecting $0.91 to every $1 salary of their white male counterparts. Hispanic and Asian candidates reported a 1.5% and 1.0% percentage expectation gap improvement, respectively, but Hispanic and Asian women showed a wider expectation gap than their male counterparts. In addition, Black candidates showed a slight widening of 0.1% in the wage expectation gap – the only increase in expectation gap across candidates in 2021.
Additional key findings from the report include:
- There are signs of progress in the gender opportunity gap. Hired found a sizable decrease in the percentage of positions sending interview requests to only men. In 2020, 42.4% of positions were sent to only men, while in 2021, the data showed 36.7%.
- The gender wage gap narrowed in many places but opportunity access remains a challenge. In most markets or locations, the gender wage gap narrowed. In the US, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco/Bay Area and Boston metropolitan areas had the narrowest reported wage gaps, in that order. Outside the US, London showed the widest wage gap with women being offered £0.91 for every £1 offered to men in 2021. However, some of the markets with the most narrow wage gaps (Denver, Boston and Seattle) also showed the largest underrepresentation of women candidates receiving interview requests compared to male counterparts.
- The wage gap persists for remote roles. There was a gender wage gap found among remote jobs and local jobs – when examining expectation of salaries and final salaries of roles, with remote gender wage gaps showing to be slightly wider than those of local jobs/roles. In other words, remote jobs had wider wage and expectation gaps versus local jobs.
- Race impacts the number of interview requests for candidates. In 2021, companies continued to increase their interview requests to diverse candidates. Interview requests to only white jobseekers (23.2% to 14.8%) or only white and Asian jobseekers decreased from 2020 to 2021 (61.4% to 49.0%).
- LGBTQIA+ impact remains low: LGBTQIA+ jobseekers remain overrepresented in interview requests relative to jobseekers who identify as straight and cisgender – but showed a decrease in overrepresentation in interview requests in 2021 (2.8% in 2021 versus 14.1% more on average in 2020). There is a very narrow wage gap for LGBTQIA+ jobseekers versus non-LGBTQIA+ jobseekers (0.4% overall).
The sixth annual report analyzes wage and expectation gaps in salary data across gender, race, age and sexuality in the tech industry. The findings are based on Hired's proprietary data from over 819,000 interview requests and job offers facilitated through Hired's marketplace from over 3,900 participating companies and more than 120,000 jobseekers in the US, UK and Canada.
"It's been an ever-shifting and evolving hiring landscape for employers and jobseekers over the last few years – from companies competing and sourcing for talent at a record pace, to the current state of macroeconomic uncertainty driving more measured hiring," said Josh Brenner, CEO at Hired. "This report shows that there is still work to be done in ensuring equitable hiring processes to narrow wage and expectation gaps, and companies must prioritize this effort. Post-Great Resignation, companies that are successful in identifying non-traditional talent, while also ensuring diversity and representation in their candidate pipelines, will be better positioned to drive their businesses forward in a time of increased volatility."
Hired also found that companies using Diversity Goals, its new tool that helps companies prioritize outreach to underrepresented talent without removing relevant matching candidates, were able to more than double their pipeline of underrepresented candidates. Consequently, these companies using the new tool had both a lower wage and expectation gap compared to companies with the tool option turned off.

Editor's note: For the purpose of this report and data, "underrepresented" uses the same definition as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC defines all non male genders as underrepresented in the tech industry in the US. According to the EEOC Diversity in High Tech Special Report, women account for 36% of the workforce in the High Tech industry versus 48% in the private sector as a whole. Referencing the same report, the EEOC defines underrepresented races/ethnicities in the Tech industry as Black or African American, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and Two or more races. The Diversity Goals feature follows these guidelines to define underrepresentation on Hired.

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, FL, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Being diagnosed with a health condition can often come as a shock but finding out it can recur is a double blow, particularly in the case of cancer or heart conditions. This reality is encouraging more companies to seek treatments for recurring conditions. Here we discuss companies treating recurring health conditions in reference to Merck (NYSE: MRK), Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH), Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) and Cardiol Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL).
Triple-negative breast cancer is the most aggressive type of breast cancer, with the highest risk of recurrence within the first five years after diagnosis. Merck (NYSE: MRK) just had its drug KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy approved by the European Commission to treat locally advanced or early-stage triple-negative breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. This offers enormous encouragement to those suffering from this devastating condition.
Meanwhile, Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) and Nonagen Bioscience announced an agreement to exclusively manufacture Nonagen Bioscience's Oncuria® bladder cancer diagnostic panel using xMAP Luminex® technology. Oncuria is the first-of-its-kind multiplex protein-based urine test to provide early and accurate detection, therapy choice, and disease monitoring of bladder cancer. Sadly, low-grade bladder cancers recur frequently.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) is commercializing a personalized blood-based DNA test to detect and assess how much cancer is left in the body. This will help identify recurrence earlier and help optimize treatment decisions.
And private company Ferring Pharmaceuticals is investigating a live biotherapeutic to reduce recurrent C. difficile infection (CDI) after antibiotic treatment.
Any of these conditions can cause great anxiety to patients, and the potential to treat recurring conditions offers considerable hope of a healthier future. Particularly worrying are the health issues related to the heart. As the heart determines life and death, the shock of a heart condition can bring life to a halt.
Unfortunately, heart problems are not only linked to lifestyle choices but also as a side-effect of many other issues such as infection, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, cancer, and post-cardiac injury syndromes.
The widespread instance of COVID-19 has led to a rise in heart conditions such as myocarditis and recurrent pericarditis. These are two conditions that Cardiol Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) is working to treat.
Heart failure continues to persist as a leading cause of death globally, made worse by mounting diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure cases.
Every year, over 550,000 new cases are diagnosed in the US That's why Cardiol Therapeutics aims to develop treatments to help people live more comfortably with this destructive disease. Their primary focus of interest is in treating acute myocarditis, recurrent pericarditis, and diastolic heart failure.
The company is focused on researching and developing an anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory therapy to treat cardiovascular disease (CVD). Its lead product candidate, CardiolRx™, is a pharmaceutically produced oral formulation being clinically designed for cardiovascular medicine use.
RECURRENT PERICARDITIS
Cardiol Therapeutics is delighted to have received a third IND authorization from the US FDA for its flagship formulation CardiolRx™ in CVD. This latest authorization is for a multi-center Phase II open-label pilot study of CardiolRx™ for recurrent pericarditis.
The company's recurrent pericarditis study will run in parallel with its multi-national Phase II acute myocarditis trial, which is expected to commence imminently.
Dr. Andrew Hamer, Cardiol's Chief Medical Officer, commented:
"With IND authorization now in place, we look forward to ramping up initiation of this important study. We also anticipate benefiting from the clinical trial infrastructure already established for our multi-national acute myocarditis study, which is expected to commence patient enrollment imminently."
Furthermore, this means CardiolRx™ is eligible for orphan drug status in two indications, potentially adding significant value to the company.
Pericarditis refers to inflammation of the pericardium – the membrane, or sac, that surrounds the heart. Symptoms include debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, which result in physical limitations, reduced quality of life, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations.
Cardiol's recurrent pericarditis study will assess the improvement in objective measures of disease and, during an extension period, evaluate the feasibility of weaning concomitant background therapy, including corticosteroids, while taking CardiolRx™.
The study is expected to enroll 25 patients at major clinical centers specializing in pericarditis in the United States. The study protocol has been designed in collaboration with well-established thought leaders in pericardial disease.
Although generally self-limited and not life-threatening, acute pericarditis is diagnosed in 0.2% of all in-hospital cardiovascular admissions. It is responsible for 5% of emergency room admissions for chest pain in North America and Western Europe.
Recurrent pericarditis is the reappearance of symptoms after a symptom-free period of at least 4–6 weeks following an episode of acute pericarditis. These recurrences appear in 15% to 30% of acute cases and usually within 18 months. Up to 50% of patients with a recurrent episode of pericarditis experience more recurrences.
Cardiol Therapeutics believes there is a significant opportunity to develop a new oral, well-tolerated, and safe therapy for treating recurrent pericarditis to prevent multiple recurrences in the first place.
Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, declared a quarterly dividend of $0.69 per share for Q3 of 2022. Payment will be made on July 8, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2022. Merck aspires to be the premier research-intensive biopharmaceutical company globally, advancing the prevention and treatment of diseases in people and animals.
Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) has extensive immunoassay expertise and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The US FDA granted its drug Oncuria a Breakthrough Device Designation in September 2021, for predicting response to BCG therapy, a first-line treatment for bladder cancer. This provides formal acknowledgment of Oncuria's utility and potential clinical benefit.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) is a diagnostics company, which engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of genetic testing services. The company is dedicated to oncology, women's health, and organ health. Natera recently announced the appointment of Minetta Liu, M.D., as its new chief medical officer of oncology.

CROSSNORE — Rachel Deal, one of the most well-known and well-loved volunteers in Avery County, passed away on Tuesday, June 14.
Deal, 92, spent most of her life in Avery County. She was extremely familiar with the county’s history, and by several accounts, she was the “go-to” source for any questions about the area.
“Any question you had about Avery County or Crossnore in general, you went to Miss Rachel to ask, and you just knew you were gonna sit back and listen to her tell about important things,” said Jennifer Maulding, who met Deal through the Crossnore Daughters of the American Revolution chapter and volunteered with her at the Avery County Senior Center.
Deal had been a member of the Crossnore DAR for 70 years, and at the time of her death she was an officer and the chapter’s chaplain, Maulding said.
Since 1997, Deal spent her Fridays at the Avery County Senior Center helping out with Caregiver Haven, a program that allows family members and caregivers to have a few hours to shop, go out or rest. She would sing hymns like “In the Garden” to the senior citizens. Deal was regarded as the oldest employee in Avery County and she helped shape the way senior services are provided in the county, said Philip Adams, director of senior services in Avery County.
Deal had many issues that were close to her heart, but her passion for senior services was exemplified through her work for senior citizens in Avery County. She was one of the longest serving members of the Senior Tar Heel Legislature, a state board that advocates for senior citizens and assists in creating and funding programs for seniors, and she was a member of the Avery County Council on Aging, Adams said. Deal was scheduled to attend a conference with the Senior Tar Heel Legislature the week she passed away.
Deal also worked with Jean Ray, Jayne McNeil and Linda Hanna to start “Gifts from the Heart,” a program similar to the Angel Tree but benefiting senior citizens in need. For the last 31 years, the program centered during the month of February has served to cheer up seniors with gifts such as blankets and slippers because the winter can be so hard on that sector of the community, said Buffy Clark of the Avery County Senior Center. The group plans to continue the program, according to Clark.
Along with her work for the senior citizens of Avery County, Deal also advocated for the animals in the county. She helped start the Avery County Humane Society in 1978 and had been a board member ever since, said Jean Smith of the Avery Humane Society. At the time of her death, she was still advocating for the establishment of animal control services in Avery County, and Smith said that not seeing that happen in her lifetime may be Deal’s biggest regret.
Maggie Lauterer, Deal’s niece, said that Deal and her husband used to pick up stray dogs and cats and try to find them homes. They had fenced-in areas and kennel-like boxes in their backyard and on their back porch for the stray dogs and cats they picked up, which made them almost like the unofficial first humane society of Avery County, Lauterer said.
“Rachel was a hard worker and a fighter, and she just passionately loved the people and the animals of Avery County,” said Jesse Pope, executive director and president of the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation.
Despite her age, Deal never lost her singing voice. In fact, she sang in the choir at her church as recently as the Sunday prior to her passing, Lauterer said. She valued family above anything else and she missed her family members that passed before her, Smith and Lauterer said.
Deal was heavily involved in her church at Crossnore Presbyterian Church. There, she served in a role as elder and sang in the choir for 40 years, Lauterer said.
Since her passing, Deal has been called a hero, an Avery County legend, an “advocate for Avery County,” a “force of nature” and more. In her lifetime, Deal served on many boards and committees and received many awards. She showed her passion for Avery County in many ways, some of which included serving on the Crossnore Enhancement Committee, the Western North Carolina Transportation Board, the Avery County Planning Board, the Geriatric Council at Sloop Memorial Hospital and the High Country Council of Governments, along with her commitments to the humane society and senior center. Deal was also a charter member of the Avery County Historical Society.
In 2012, Deal received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, which is the highest civilian award for state service in North Carolina and is granted by the governor. She also received the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Humane Society in 2018, the Avery County Centennial’s Citizen of the Century award in 2011 and Avery County Chamber of Commerce’s Woman of the Year in 2008. The Avery County Heritage Festival on June 25 is being dedicated to Deal’s legacy and memory, Lauterer said.
In lieu of flowers, Deal’s family has asked people to donate to the Avery County Humane Society or Crossnore Presbyterian Church. Her memorial service will take place at 2 p.m. on July 17 at Crossnore Presbyterian Church. | https://www.averyjournal.com/news/community/advocate-for-avery-county-rachel-deal-passes-away/article_ce911f68-f101-11ec-8f7e-b75c73ac83bb.html | 2022-06-21T16:39:22Z | https://www.averyjournal.com/news/community/advocate-for-avery-county-rachel-deal-passes-away/article_ce911f68-f101-11ec-8f7e-b75c73ac83bb.html | true | 1 |
During the pandemic, when schools and day care facilities shut down abruptly, millions of parents — especially mothers — dropped out of the workforce to pick up the slack. Author Angela Garbes was one of them.
Garbes had been working on a book in 2020, but was forced to abandon the project when her child's day care closed. And although she loves being a mother, the isolation and exhaustion of being a full-time caregiver took a toll.
"I really felt like I was watching the pleasure and the color drain from my life," she says. "I felt like someone who was 'just a caregiver.' And while I knew that that was valuable work, I had to confront that that wasn't enough for me."
In her new book, Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, Garbes makes the case that the work of raising children has always been undervalued and undercompensated in the U.S.
"We live in [a culture] that doesn't value care work and that doesn't value mothers and that doesn't value women," she says. "America doesn't have a social safety net; America has mothers."
Unlike other countries, which offer paid parental leave and state-subsidized daycare, Garbes says the U.S. often leaves the parents of young children to fend for themselves. She counters that raising children is a social responsibility — and should be treated as such.
"[Children] need other people. They need family. They need friends. They need adults who are not related to them, who have a certain patience and bring something different to their life," she says. "We were not meant to raise children in isolation."
Interview highlights
On how it felt to not have day care during lockdown and giving up work
If you go back to those early days of the pandemic when we didn't know what was happening ... it felt really clear to me that the most important thing I could be doing was not writing. It was not making a podcast. It was taking care of my family, taking care of my children and keeping them safe, and also taking care of my community. And that meant pulling away, living in isolation. ...
As far as my husband working, he's the person who had a regular paycheck as a writer. I have deadlines on the horizon. It's all very nebulous, when my work is due and, you know, there were no regular paychecks, there was no health insurance coming our way from my work. We were getting those from him. So it was easy for me to say, "Let's prioritize your work."
But he has always insisted we have this part of our marriage where we say: My work is not more important than your work. It's equal. So he would say, "Take your time. Go write. Go lock yourself in the guestroom, put on the noise-canceling headphones and do what you can do." And my children couldn't respect that boundary. There were basically no boundaries within our home. But also, I felt my ability to uphold those boundaries kind of slipping away.
On women being forced to leave the workforce
In September of 2020, 865,000 women were forced out of the workforce in one month, and that was because schools remained closed. People were saying essentially, 'I can't be a mother, be an online school proctor and be a professional worker at the same time. It's just too much.' And so I think like that anger, this care crisis, it predates the pandemic.
The statistic that always stays with me is in September of 2020, 865,000 women were forced out of the workforce in one month, and that was because schools remained closed. People were saying essentially, "I can't be a mother, be an online school proctor and be a professional worker at the same time. It's just too much." So I think that anger, this care crisis, it predates the pandemic. And a lot of us were more familiar with the financial hardship of having kids in day care. People have been making these decisions and logistical negotiations for years, but suddenly it was a problem that affected everyone. And that's when we really saw a lot of that anger.
On how momentum to change the system has slowed
I felt like there was attention being paid. There were some articles, including mine, that are basically like, "Women are not OK, mothers are not OK." And then we saw things like the advance child tax credit, which was the government sort of acknowledging, yeah, this is hard work, having families and raising children, and so we're going to give you some money each month. And that funding for the CTC was allocated for a year, and in December, Congress let that lapse — even though the funding had been set aside. In trying to figure out Build Back Better, I guess it was collateral damage or just something that we were willing to let go of.
I feel a certain amount of anger at lawmakers and some anger at Democrats and at the administration that I voted in because that administration also bargained away paid leave, which was something that the Biden administration ran on. I feel like we are losing that momentum and we're losing some of the energy behind that very righteous anger that so many women and parents felt.
On how she made decisions about her own childcare
When my first daughter was born, we both had full-time jobs and it was still very hard to make ends meet. And so we relied on a mix of things. My mother helped us, and that was unpaid labor. We did a nanny share with two other families. This woman was a woman from Mexico. She would take care of two to three babies at a time in these other two homes. And we made sure we had a meeting where we were paying her at least $15 an hour, and we gave her a month off every year. And she was welcome to bring her son, who was about 3, to the home where she was caring for the children. So I make decisions where I feel like I am paying people as much as I can, as fairly as I can, and that I am giving them time off. I treat it like a real labor negotiation. And I should say, also, that my husband is a union organizer. So these issues happened to be top of mind for us.
On Roe v. Wade likely being overturned by the Supreme Court
We've known this is coming. And really, for many people in the United States, especially poor people of color in the South, abortion access is already extremely limited. I think that rich people will always be able to get abortions and the people who will suffer the most are already the people who are suffering. My favorite abortion statistic is that [the majority] of people who have abortions are already parents. They're already mothers. And to me, that says so clearly, we know the cost of having children: financial, emotional, psychological, but financial mostly. And I think when we condemn people. When we force people into motherhood, we are forcing them into poverty. I think in that sense, what's happening right now is that our system is working exactly as it's designed to keep people in power and to keep poor people and people of color and marginalized people in lives that are harder than they need to be.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WXIN) — The Chicks promised fans they’ll be back after ending their concert early at Indiana’s Ruoff Music Center Sunday night.
“I’m so sorry. I just can’t pull it off,” lead singer Natalie Maines told the audience of thousands, in a video taken by a fan and posted on Twitter.
The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) had only played a few songs before they decided to end the concert.
On a post on the Noblesville Chatter page, one concertgoer said Maines mentioned her allergies at the beginning of the show. The singer also told the crowd she had received a steroid shot in an attempt to power through and continue with the performance.
The band posted a message to its Indiana fans on social media, saying, “Indianapolis, we are so sorry we could not give you the show you deserved OR the show we wanted to give you. We will be back Indianapolis!! Hold onto your tickets.”
A message was posted the following day showing the rescheduled date for Sept. 30. It also let fans know the band was under “strict doctor’s orders for vocal rest.”
Along with the rescheduled Indiana concert date, shows in Michigan and Ohio have been rescheduled to allow the band more vocal rest.
Sunday’s abrupt ending came just two days after The Chicks performed at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/the-chicks-end-concert-early-couldnt-give-fans-show-they-deserved/ | 2022-06-21T16:40:08Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/the-chicks-end-concert-early-couldnt-give-fans-show-they-deserved/ | false | 16 |

Although the feature film “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” was released on Disney+ and not in theaters, director Akiva Schaffer knows the importance of seeing a movie with an audience, as proven by the film’s tastemakers screening at the D23 conference and its L.A. world premiere.
“At home, it’s so easy to have a look at your phone,” he tells Variety. “You can miss half the things because they’re visual in the movie, but then again, as somebody who’s put out those movies and had nobody in the theaters, that’s not any good either.”
He’s referencing the poor box-office performance of his last feature, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” (2016), which he directed and starred in along with the other two members of musical trio the Lonely Island: Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone. Since then, the film has garnered a cult following.
“When people would say ‘Popstar’ has two funny jokes, I’d be like, if you were in a theater, you’d be hearing all the laughs and you’d have to acknowledge hearing the laughter,” Schaffer says. “You’d at least have to phrase it differently and say, ‘The audience was laughing all over but I only found two jokes funny.”

Schaffer has been sharpening his directing skills for some time now, with comedies outings such as “Hot Rod” (2007) and “The Watch” (2012). For his fourth feature, “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers,” he offers a nostalgic bridge for both adults and kids to engage with the Disney+ streaming feature.
Oscar-nominated producer Todd Lieberman (“The Fighter”) was a fan of Schaffer’s last film, and the two had a general meeting to discuss the possibility of working together on future projects. Fast forward a year later, Schaffer’s agent sent him the script for the re-imagining of the classic cartoon that ran from 1989 to 1990. Schaffer, a father of two, was initially hesitant, having watched live-action-animation hybrids like “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “The Smurfs” that “aim at toddlers, and they don’t aim anywhere else,” he says.
“First, I was flattered that I was getting sent Disney IP at all, because I had never been sent something of value, and felt worthwhile,” Schaffer says. “Secondly, as parents, you know when you get to see a Disney animation movie or a Pixar movie, you know this one will be for me as well.”
When he opened the script, the title page read: “Chip ‘n Dale :Rescue Rangers — the reboot nobody asked for.”
Schaffer was hooked.
Writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand were wondering if the world wanted a reboot of the crime-fighting detective chipmunks in 2022, but it ultimately helped them to frame the film. “Once we put that question into the characters’ mouths, things really opened up,” Gregor and Mand tell Variety. “Chip and Dale’s awareness of their own public standing allowed us to write a movie for any level of fan.”
Doing a live-action hybrid presented unique challenges, but Schaffer was up for it. “I was excited because I was going to get to learn how to make this kind of movie. But also, it made me feel more confident knowing it was Disney because at least I knew that if I had a question, there’d be somebody that could answer.”
If the feature is nominated for an Emmy for outstanding television movie in July, it would be the first animated film to be nominated in the category (Netflix’s “The House” is also an animated film submitted in that category). Schaffer, who is submitted for outstanding director in a limited series or anthology series or TV movie, has always had an aesthetic for pushing the envelope with his comedic material. He’s helmed nearly all of the Lonely Island’s music videos and “SNL” shorts, including “Lazy Sunday,” “Jack Sparrow” and his Emmy-winning “Dick in a Box” (shared with Justin Timberlake, Jorma Taccone, Katreese Barnes, Asa Taccone and Andy Samberg).
But “Chip ‘n Dale” isn’t the only television item of Schaffer’s in the running for an Emmy nomination. He’s also a producer on Netflix’s “I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson” (with Samberg, who is also contending for a voice-over performance with Disney co-star John Mulaney), which is vying for outstanding short form comedy or drama series.
Although “Chip ‘n Dale” is family-friendly, that didn’t stop Schaffer from creating some R-rated scenes just for fun. “There are definitely scenes where they’ll say ‘fuck’ out of nowhere,” he says. “I couldn’t resist cutting that in once, just knowing that it’s so shocking, and just for fun. I showed my executive at the studio or producers, even knowing it would never get past that first animation stage — but I have a few of those.”
In terms of future directorial efforts, Schaffer says he’s been sent various types of stories, one of which is a heartwarming “Penny Marshall style” tale that people wouldn’t expect. But is a sequel to “Popstar” a possibility?
“I would say, never say never. There’s no reason not to, but I can’t lie and say we’ve been cooking something up,” he says. “But there’s no reason it couldn’t exist.”

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Two-time world champion Caeleb Dressel will not be defending his title in the men’s 100 freestyle at the swimming world championships after withdrawing from the semifinals.
Dressel was included in the initial start list for Tuesday’s semifinals in Budapest, but was not included in an updated version with reserve Hwang Sun-woo of South Korea taking his place.
“A decision has been made by Team USA in consultation with Caeleb, his coach, and the team’s medical staff for him to withdraw from the 100-meter freestyle event on medical grounds. The team will determine his participation in the events later in the week,” U.S. Swimming told The Associated Press in a statement.
Dressel is due to race the men’s 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly later in the worlds.
Dressel was second-fastest in qualifying for the semifinals with a time of 47.95, but will not now compete against Romania’s David Popovici, who was fastest in 47.60.

McCaffery: Phillies will pay for early failures all season
Nothing in sports has a longer memory than a baseball season. That’s a truth the Phillies are destined to find out, if their recent effort hasn’t reminded them of it already. A 15-3 start to June – supplemented by schedule breaks – did provide a small reminder that they shouldn’t be a bad baseball team. Yet since they spent April and May proving they were among the worst, they would remain underwater in the standings. It’s difficult to enjoy that kind of good baseball fortune – give it up for Mr. Clutch Yairo Munoz – and still be eight games out of first place. And as if baseball were determined to prove that blown seven-run leads and other limitless bullpen follies weren’t easily cleaned in one half-a-month power wash, the Phillies looked up and found that they’d lost ground to the world champion Braves during their fascinating run.

Rumble volleyball tournament returns to Pottstown for 30th year
The first time Ken Kaas of Pottstown experienced playing in a doubles volleyball tournament in Radnor, he was enthralled. “I was like, ‘wow, this is like a slice of California — a good time’,” said Kaas, who was in his early 20s at the time. Not long after, it inspired him to take action in his hometown of Pottstown to bring the competition of the game even closer to home. “I came back to Pottstown and talked with the Parks and Recreation Director and he gave me permission to do an event,” Kaas said. “I said, ‘I have to do one of these in Pottstown’, and that was history.” | https://www.timesherald.com/2022/06/21/morning-briefing-summer-solstice-shooting-phils-start/ | 2022-06-21T16:48:53Z | https://www.timesherald.com/2022/06/21/morning-briefing-summer-solstice-shooting-phils-start/ | false | 5 |

Israel to dissolve parliament, call 5th election in 3 years
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s weakened coalition government announced Monday that it would dissolve parliament and call new elections, setting the stage for the possible return to power of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or another period of prolonged political gridlock.
The election will be Israel’s fifth in three years, and it will put the polarizing Netanyahu, who has been the opposition leader for the past year, back at the center of the political universe.
“I think the winds have changed. I feel it,” Netanyahu declared.
The previous four elections, focused on Netanyahu’s fitness to rule while facing a corruption investigation, ended in deadlock. While opinion polls project Netanyahu, who is now on trial, as the front-runner, it is far from certain that his Likud party can secure the required parliamentary majority to form a new government.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, a former ally and aide of Netanyahu, formed his government a year ago with the aim of halting the never-ending cycle of elections. But the fragile coalition government, which includes parties from across the political spectrum, lost its majority earlier this year and has faced rebellions from different lawmakers in recent weeks.
Announcing his plan to disband the government during a nationally televised news conference, Bennett said he had made “the right decision” in difficult circumstances.
“Together, we got Israel out of the pit. We accomplished many things in this year. First and foremost, we brought to center stage the values of fairness and trust,” Bennett said, standing alongside his main partner, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid. “We shifted to a culture of ‘we,’ ‘together.’”
Under their coalition deal, Lapid, who heads the large centrist party Yesh Atid, now becomes the interim prime minister until the election, in which he is expected to be the main rival to Netanyahu.
Standing together with Bennett, he thanked his partner for his hard work and for putting the country ahead of his personal interests.
“Even if we’re going to elections in a few months, our challenges as a state cannot wait,” Lapid said. “What we need to do today is go back to the concept of Israeli unity. Not to let dark forces tear us apart from within.”
Bennett’s coalition included a diverse array of parties, from dovish factions that support an end to Israel’s occupation of lands captured in 1967 and claimed by the Palestinians, to hard-line parties that oppose Palestinian statehood.
Many of the parties had little in common beyond a shared animosity to Netanyahu. Often described as a political “experiment,” the coalition made history by becoming the first to include an Arab party.
Bennett listed his government’s accomplishments, including passing a national budget for the first time in three years and leading the country through two waves of the coronavirus without imposing a lockdown. Under his watch, Israel’s tense border with the Gaza Strip remained largely quiet, though tensions with the Palestinians escalated in east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. His Arab partner, the Islamic Ra’am party, secured unprecedented budgets to fight poverty, neglect and discrimination in Israel’s Arab sector.
On the international stage, Bennett repaired Israel’s bipartisan standing in Washington, which suffered after Netanyahu’s close ties with former President Donald Trump. He deepened fledgling ties with Gulf Arab countries, repaired frayed relations with Egypt and Jordan, and claimed to have prevented the United States from reviving an international nuclear deal with Iran. Bennett even briefly emerged as a mediator in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Despite its successes, the coalition eventually unraveled, in large part because several members of Bennett’s own hard-line party objected to what they felt were his pragmatism and moderation.
Netanyahu, meanwhile, whipped up the opposition by accusing Bennett of cooperating with “terror supporters” — a reference to his Arab partners in the coalition. A Netanyahu supporter was arrested last month on suspicion she sent death threats and bullets to Bennett’s family in the mail.
Palestinian citizens of Israel make up about 20% of the country’s population but are often seen as a fifth column and have never before been part of a coalition. Although Netanyahu himself had also courted the same Islamist party last year, the criticism appeared to make some of the hard-line members of Bennett’s coalition uncomfortable.
The final blow to the government was the looming expiration of a law that grant Israel’s West Bank settlers special legal status.
The law underpins separate legal systems for Jews and Palestinians in the West Bank, a situation that three prominent human rights groups say amounts to apartheid. Israel rejects that allegation as an attack on its legitimacy.
Parliament had been set to extend the law earlier this month, as it has done for the past 55 years. But the hard-line opposition, comprised heavily of settler supporters, paradoxically voted against the bill in order to embarrass Bennett. Dovish members of the coalition who normally oppose the settlements voted in favor in hopes of keeping the government afloat.
But a handful of coalition members, including Arab lawmakers as well as hard-line nationalists, either abstained or voted with the opposition to defeat the bill and cause the coalition to rip apart.
Bennett, a former settler leader, said there would have been “grave security perils and constitutional chaos” if he had allowed the law to expire at the end of the month. “I couldn’t let that happen,” he said.
Bennett and Lapid will now present a bill to dissolve parliament in the coming days. Once that passes, the country will head to an election, most likely in October.
The settler law remains in effect and will not expire if the government collapses.
Netanyahu described the imminent dissolution of parliament as “great tidings” for millions of Israelis, and he said he would form “a broad nationalist government headed by Likud” after the next election.
But he also vowed to try to form an alternative government before the parliamentary vote by trying to persuade some of his opponents to support him. The odds of that appeared slim, given their past never to serve under Netanyahu while he is on trial.
“There’s a need to rehabilitate the state of Israel, and we have the ability to do it,” Netanyahu said.
The dissolution threatened to overshadow a visit by President Joe Biden scheduled for next month. A statement issued by Biden’s National Security Council said he “looks forward to the visit.”
Israel held four inconclusive elections between 2019 and 2021 that were largely referendums about Netanyahu’s ability to rule while on trial for corruption. Netanyahu denies wrongdoing.
Opinion polls have forecast that Netanyahu’s hard-line Likud will once again emerge as the largest single party. But it remains unclear whether he would be able to muster the required support of a majority of lawmakers to form a new government.
Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute, said Monday’s developments were “a clear indication that Israel’s worst political crisis did not end when this government was sworn into office.”

Arizona fires sweep land rich with ancient sites, artifacts
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — As Jason Nez scans rugged mountains, high desert and cliffsides for signs of ancient tools and dwellings unique to the U.S. Southwest, he keeps in mind that they’re part of a bigger picture.
And, fire is not new to them.
“They have been burned many, many times, and that’s healthy,” said Nez, a Navajo archaeologist and firefighter. “A lot of our cultural resources we see as living, and living things are resilient.”
As a pair of wildfires skirt this mountainous northern Arizona city, the flames are crossing land dense with reminders of human existence through centuries — multilevel stone homes, rock carvings and pieces of clay and ceramic pots that have been well-preserved in the arid climate since long before fire suppression became a tactic.
Today, firefighting crews increasingly are working to avoid or minimize damage from bulldozers and other modern-day tools on archaeological sites and artifacts, and protect those on public display to ensure history isn’t lost on future generations.
“Some of those arrowheads, some of those pottery sherds (broken ceramics) you see out there have that power to change the way we look at how humans were here,” Nez said.
The crews’ efforts include recruiting people to advise them on wildlife and habitat, air quality and archaeology. In Arizona, a handful of archaeologists have walked miles in recent months locating evidence of meaningful past human activity in and around scorched areas and mapping it for protection.
Just last week, a crew spotted a more than 1,000-year-old semi-buried dwelling known as a pit house.
“We know this area is really important to tribes, and it’s ancestral land for them,” said U.S. Forest Service archaeologist and tribal relations specialist Jeanne Stevens. “When we do more survey work, it helps add more pieces to the puzzle in terms of what’s on the landscape.”
It’s not just the scattered ruins that need protecting.
The nearby Wupatki National Monument — a center of trade for Indigenous communities around the 1100s — was evacuated because of wildfire twice this year. Exhibits there hold priceless objects, including 800-year-old corn, beans and squash, along with intact stone Clovis points used for hunting that date back some 13,000 years.
Before the first wildfire hit in April, forcing the evacuation of the monument and hundreds of homes outside Flagstaff, there was no set plan on how quickly to get the artifacts out because wildfire wasn’t seen as an imminent threat to Wupatki.
“Now with climate change, conditions have become different, hence a new plan,” monument curator Gwenn Gallenstein said.
Gallenstein assembled nested boxes with cavities for larger items and foam pouches for arrowheads and other smaller artifacts. She had photographs for each item so whoever was tasked with the packaging would know exactly where to put them, she said.
Gallenstein created a training plan on how to pack up ceramic pots, bone tools, sandals, textiles woven from cotton grown in the area and other things before another large wildfire broke out June 12 and the monument was closed again. No one expected to put the plan into action so soon.
The fires have so far avoided the facility. Several boxes of items that trace back to what archaeologists say are distinct Indigenous cultures were taken to the Museum of Northern Arizona for safekeeping.
Some Hopi clans consider those who lived at Wupatki their ancestors. Navajo families later settled the area but slowly left, either voluntarily or under pressure by the National Park Service, which sought to eliminate private use of the land once it became a monument in 1924.
The monument has some 2,600 archaeological sites across 54 square miles (141 square kilometers), representing a convergence of cultures on the Colorado Plateau in the Four Corners where New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah meet. The region includes the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, Hopi mesas, volcanic cinder fields, the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the U.S. and the San Francisco Peaks — a mountain sacred to 13 Native American tribes.
“That gives you an idea of the density of the cultural history here, and that continues outside the national monument boundaries into the national forest,” said Lauren Carter, the monument’s lead interpretive ranger.
The Coconino National Forest on the southern edge of the plateau has surveyed just 20% of its 2,900 square miles (7,510 square kilometers) and logged 11,000 archaeological sites, Stevens said. Forest restoration work that includes mechanical thinning and prescribed burns has given archaeologists an opportunity to map sites and log items. More discoveries are expected because of the current wildfires, especially in the more remote areas, Stevens said.
The arid climate has helped preserve many of the artifacts and sites. But it’s also the type of environment that is prone to wildfires, particularly with a mix of fierce winds and heat that were all too common in the U.S. West this spring as megadroughts linked to climate change baked the region.
Stevens recalled working on a wildfire in 2006 in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona and a prison crew coming across a great kiva — a circular stone structure built into the earth and used for ceremonies. “That was something that was really notable,” she said. “Where we’ve been having fires lately, we do have a lot of survey and a lot of knowledge, but we’re always ready for that new discovery.”
Nez, too, has made rare finds, including two Clovis points and village sites on a mountainside that he wasn’t expecting to see.
“There’s going to be pottery sherds, there’s going to be projectile points,” he tells firefighting crews and managers. “In Native cultures, those things are out there, and we respect them by leaving them alone.”

Trump praises Texas GOP for extreme platform denying Biden won 2020 election
State party also agreed that homosexuality is ‘abnormal’ and that schools should be forbidden from providing sex education
Ivanka Trump says she does not believe father’s claim election was stolen
Posting on his bespoke “free speech” platform Truth Social, former president Donald Trump has praised the Texas Republican Party for passing an extreme platform this past weekend that included a resolution that the 2020 election was stolen.
The wording adopted as one of the platform’s two resolutions read: “We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States.
“We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity and to show up to vote in November of 2022, bring your friends and family, volunteer for your local Republicans, and overwhelm any possible fraud.”
A clearly heartened Mr Trump wrote: “Wow! Look at the Great State of Texas and their powerful Republican Party Platform on the 2020 Presidential Election Fraud. After much research and study, they disavow the national result for President. Such courage, but that’s why Texas is Texas!!! They know that a Country cannot survive without Free and Fair Elections (and STRONG BORDERS!).”
Mr Trump’s message comes as he faces the devastating evidence complied by the 6 January committee, whose hearings this summer are detailing the concoction and unsuccessful execution of Mr Trump’s plan to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
Last week’s hearing saw several witnesses make clear that, contrary to his public claims, Mr Trump was made aware by many advisers that his claims the election was stolen were false. As things stand, polling indicates that more than half of Americans think he should face criminal charges over his efforts to obstruct the installation of Mr Biden according to the will of the electorate.
The Texas platform included a litany of other positions and proposals, some of which were strikingly extreme even by the standards of what has historically been one of the GOP’s more hardline state parties.
Among other things, it calls for a referendum to shore up Texas’s supposed right to secede from the union, describes homosexuality as an “abnormal lifestyle”, and calls for the criminalization of all school education about sex and gender.

Every year in June, Annecy becomes the world's animation capital.
From the big American studios to independent creators and students from all over Europe and the world, it is the place to be. And animation is a booming art form.
Father of Kirikou is honoured
At Annecy, every kind of format, media, technique and fantasy is allowed - and on show. This year, the stars of animation inaugurated a "Walk of Fame", and Michel Ocelot received an honorary Crystal award, the first of its kind, for his incomparable achievements.
The father of Kirikou is one of the great masters of European animation, and many fans were there to pay tribute.
"I feel I've become a storyteller," Ocelot told Euronews's Frédéric Ponsard. "At first I thought I was essentially a draughtsman, but as time went by, I realized I like telling stories, a little mechanism that starts moving, that goes where I want it to go and stops when it has to, not too early, not too late."
His latest film, The Black Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess, will be released in Europe in autumn.
Little Nicholas takes top prize
The festival ended with the handing out of prizes, including the coveted Crystal for best-animated feature, won by the Franco-Luxembourg film Little Nicholas, co-directed by Amandine Fredon and Benjamin Massoubre.
It's the story of Le Petit Nicolas and his creators, the cartoonist Sempé and writer Goscinny, who also authored the Asterix cartoon series.
"We're extremely happy for the whole team," said Massoubre. "Because it's really the work of several people, 200 or 250 people! So on a personal level with Amandine we're both really jubilant this evening, but I'm just thinking about the team."
"The Petit Nicolas books were not books for children, they were books for adults who had children," said Fredon. "And this mix of the adults' and child's perspective is spot on."
A tale of Europe and its migrations
Another remarkable film picked up the Jury Prize: Alain Ughetto's No Dogs or Italians Allowed which tells the story of his Italian grandparents' immigration to France.
"The filming was European," says director Ughetto. "Switzerland helped us, Belgium, Italy, Portugal... and I worked with young people from all over Europe!"
It's a story about Europe and its migrations, with the ever-present fear of the foreigner as an undercurrent.
One of the great animated films of the 2022 festival, which was a terrific public, economic and artistic success. | https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/06/21/kirikou-creator-and-le-petit-nicolas-take-top-animation-awards-at-annecy-festival | 2022-06-21T16:59:22Z | https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/06/21/kirikou-creator-and-le-petit-nicolas-take-top-animation-awards-at-annecy-festival | false | 1 |
PS5 deals come in all shapes and sizes, but Amazon's latest offers are bringing record low prices to wired and wireless Astro headsets right now. Astro makes some of the best gaming headsets going, so to see such quality sets from the maker crashing down in price is certainly impressive.
First up is the excellent Astro A20 - this has had a quarter slashed off its price and is now ripe for the picking at $89.99 (was $119.99) (opens in new tab) at Amazon. The headline here is that this is a brand new record low, and it has never been this low at all. Ever. In history. The wireless gaming headset has oscillated between its $120 MSRP and the $100 mark a bit over the last six months or so, but the latest PS5 deals have it plummeting in price.
If you prefer to remove the risk of wireless latency from the equation, then the wired Astro A40 is also down to a record low price. It's now just $99.99 (was $149.99) (opens in new tab), receiving a price cut of a whole third! This set has only ever been at this price once before, and that was during Black Friday last year, so the value is incredibly strong here too; it's hovered north of $120 consistently since then.
You'll find more information on both of these offers just below, and plenty more PS5 deals further down the page. Of course, we're also keeping you topped up on all the latest Prime Day PS5 deals updates.

(The Hill) — Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court’s most outspoken liberal, accused the court’s six-member conservative majority of eroding the barrier between church and state on Tuesday by striking down a Maine policy that barred religious schools from receiving taxpayer-funded tuition aid.
“This Court continues to dismantle the wall of separation between church and state that the Framers fought to build,” Sotomayor wrote, dissenting from the 6-3 decision that broke along ideological lines.
“[I]n just a few years, the Court has upended constitutional doctrine,” she added, “shifting from a rule that permits States to decline to fund religious organizations to one that requires States in many circumstances to subsidize religious indoctrination with taxpayer dollars.”
Maine law gives school-age children the right to free public education. But because many rural districts lack a public high school, a workaround was devised that allows these students to attend nearby qualifying private schools with public assistance.
The Maine law at issue in the case had deemed schools with religious instruction ineligible for the program.
The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with a group of Maine parents who sued over the law, with the conservative justices ruling that the challengers’ constitutional religious protections were violated.
“Maine’s ‘nonsectarian’ requirement for its otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment,” Roberts wrote for the majority. “Regardless of how the benefit and restriction are described, the program operates to identify and exclude otherwise eligible schools on the basis of their religious exercise.”
Sotomayor also joined in part a separate dissent written by fellow liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, whose opinion was joined in full by Justice Elena Kagan, the court’s third liberal member. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/sotomayor-accuses-conservatives-of-dismantling-church-state-separation/ | 2022-06-21T17:05:15Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/sotomayor-accuses-conservatives-of-dismantling-church-state-separation/ | true | 16 |
California Legislature ventures into entertainment industry snake pit
The story of Assembly Bill 983 and Assembly Bill 437 begins with two indisputable facts:
- The business side of the Southern California entertainment industry is a snake pit of uber-complex financial deals, contracts and very creative accounting that hides behind a façade of glitz and artistic pretensions.
- Although the industry is only a tiny slice of California’s $3.5 trillion economy, its glamorous image garners fawning attention from the state’s politicians.
Those two facts mean that governors and legislators are prone to doing the bidding of industry figures with a special subsidy for film production from California taxpayers, just one of many examples.
Occasionally, the industry’s internal disputes — mostly those over how to divvy up the revenue from movie tickets, recording sales and other products — make their way to the Capitol for resolution.
One of the longer-running conflicts is over a California law, Labor Code Section 2855, that prohibits personal service contracts from running more than seven years. In theory, it encourages music and film executives to invest in the development of new talent by guaranteeing that they will see returns on their investments for at least seven years while prohibiting long-term contracts that would hold actors, singers and other artists in bondage.
Over the years, there have been several attempts to modify the seven-year period by those who would benefit financially, sometimes to make the contract period longer, sometimes to weaken it, but none has succeeded. However, the current session of the Legislature is seeing a new effort to alter the law, using the time-dishonored practice of “gut and amend.”
It’s a way to introduce new legislation outside of the usual committee hearings and floor votes. A bill that has already passed one house is stripped of its contents (gutted) and the new bill is inserted as an amendment, thus leapfrogging over the regular processes.
In February, Assemblyman Ash Kalra, a San Jose Democrat, introduced Assembly Bill 2926, which in essence would give musicians and actors a way to escape from their seven-year contracts and/or work for others while under contract.
The legislation was backed by entertainment industry unions and some well-established entertainers and mirrored similar legislation that had failed in the past.
The bill faced tough opposition from recording and movie industry executives, who said it would destroy a system that has been mutually beneficial, and stalled out. Kalra then split it into two gut-and-amend bills, one for the movie industry (Assembly Bill 437) and one for the recording industry (AB 983), both now awaiting action in the Senate’s labor committee.
AB 983 is particularly interesting because if enacted it would apparently help Irving Azoff, arguably the recording industry’s most prominent figure, launch a new record label, Giant Music. According to entertainment industry media outlets, it would make it easier for Giant Music to recruit top-drawer musicians now under contract to other recording companies. Ironically, when a similar bill was proposed 35 years ago, Azoff, then head of the MCA entertainment colossus, strenuously opposed it, saying it would ruin the industry.
There are no good guys or bad guys here. The Legislature is being asked to insert itself into a conflict between competing elements of the entertainment industry by tilting the legal playing field.
Lawyers who specialize in navigating through the snake pit could maximize their billable hours, but there’s nothing in either bill to benefit the larger public.
The Legislature should stop wasting its time on this issue and give more attention to issues that really matter such as our looming shortages of water, housing and electrical energy.

S.C. attorney general urges feds to investigate attacks against pro-life groups
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – The South Carolina attorney general sent a letter to the U.S. attorney general, urging him to respond to recent attacks made against pro-life groups.
Attorney General Alan Wilson said since the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked in May, “charities that support pregnant mothers in need have been firebombed and pro-life organizations have been attacked almost daily and terrorized.
Last week, the FBI announced that it would investigate attacks on pro-life groups.
“Acts of terrorism cannot be tolerated and it is the duty of the Department of Justice to prosecute such acts to the full extent of the law. The goal of these pro-life groups is to protect lives and it’s past time the Department of Justice does the same,” Attorney General Wilson said. “Our government should never turn a blind eye to violence and terrorism, regardless of the politics involved.”
The letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland that is signed by 19 attorneys general, including Wilson, suggests that the Department of Justice begin its investigations with Jane’s Revenge, a pro-choice group, who Wilson said has claimed responsibility for attacks in Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
“The FBI has more than enough resources to determine the organization’s members and to track down those carrying out these acts of violence, which qualify as terrorism under federal law,” the attorneys general wrote.
Wilson and the 18 other attorneys general have offered state assistance with the investigation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Avantis Investors®, a $12.5 billion* investment offering from global asset manager American Century Investments®, announces the further expansion of its investment capabilities with the launch of Avantis U.S. Large Cap Value Fund. The fund, which will be available in multiple share classes, relies on a proprietary systematic investment approach that combines the latest in financial science with common sense investment principles.
The fund has a similar investment strategy and pricing as its ETF counterpart, Avantis U.S. Large Cap Value ETF (AVLV), which launched in Sept. 2021.
"From day one, our goal was offering a choice of vehicles for clients. While we have seen many more investors embrace ETFs, mutual funds are still widely used in retirement plans. It's always a privilege to have clients ask you to create a product, so we are happy to launch this mutual fund," said Philip McInnis, Chief Investment Strategist at Avantis.
The fund will be co-managed by Chief Investment Officer Eduardo Repetto and Senior Portfolio Managers Ted Randall, Mitchell Firestein and Daniel Ong, CFA.
Following is information on the new fund:
Avantis U.S. Large Cap Value fund joins Avantis Investors' lineup of eight other ETFs with corresponding mutual funds: Avantis Core Fixed Income; Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income; Avantis Emerging Markets Equity; Avantis International Equity; Avantis International Small Cap Value; Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income; Avantis U.S. Equity and Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value.
Avantis Investors, established to help clients achieve their investment goals through a persistent focus on providing well-diversified investment solutions that fit seamlessly into asset allocations and combine the potential for added value with the reliability of indexing, is led by Repetto and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Keating, CFA, CPA.

As the travel industry makes a comeback, I would’ve expected airline stocks to take off. So, it’s odd to see easyJet (LSE: EZJ) shares doing so poorly, as it’s down 30% this year. So, here’s why the easyJet share price is crashing.
A dissipating tailwind
On Monday, easyJet released its summer trading update. The good news was that, “Demand for travel has returned“, according to CEO Johan Lundgren. Passenger occupancy for the months of April and May was seven times higher than last year, with expectations for capacity to reach 87% of pre-pandemic levels this quarter. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends.
Inflation is out of control, and people are running scared. But right now there’s one thing we believe Investors should avoid doing at all costs… and that’s doing nothing. That’s why we’ve put together a special report that uncovers 3 of our top UK and US share ideas to try and best hedge against inflation… and better still, we’re giving it away completely FREE today!
Despite the upbeat tone, investors punished easyJet stock as management lowered its initial guidance. Although 87% capacity of 2019 levels is still high, this is lower than the 90% initially guided. The firm’s outlook for Q4 also saw a decline to 90% of 2019 levels. Additionally, higher operating costs soured investor sentiment even further.
Not so easy
Pent up demand and the lack of airport staff have led to chaos at British airports. Gatwick Airport, easyJet’s base, has announced daily flight caps as a result. This is part of the reason why the FTSE 250 firm has had to lower its guidance, as growth in passenger numbers hit a ceiling.
Gatwick Airport normally operates 900 flights a day in August. But it’s capped its daily operations to 825 flights a day in July, and 850 flights a day in August for this year due to staff shortages. This has led to delays and flight cancellations.
Many analysts are predicting that these delays and cancellations could cost easyJet up to £200m. Nonetheless, management believes that its high frequency network allows for most passengers to be rebooked onto flights within the same day, thus preventing a big loss in revenue.
Turbulence or engine failure?
Whether this chaos will have a devastating impact on the company’s top line will be revealed in its next trading update. What I do know, however, is that the board is bullish about the airline’s long-term growth. It recently announced a mammoth order for 56 Airbus A320neo aircraft, and converted its initial order of 18 A320neos to the bigger A321neos. These aircraft are more fuel efficient and provide bigger capacity. As such, I’m expecting the Gatwick-based firm to reduce its operating expenses in the long term, and reverse its declining profit margins.
That being said, I’m worried about the easyJet share price in the short-term. High fuel costs and rising interest rates present heavy economic headwinds, with analysts bracing for a potential recession. This would undoubtedly impact sales figures.
Fortunately for the firm, it’s got sufficient cash (£3.5bn) to covers its debt (£3.1bn). However, it goes without saying that its debt-to-equity ratio is still disproportionately high, at 126.4%. On that account, another couple of bad quarters may hinder the budget airline’s return towards profitability.
Nevertheless, easyJet’s business model isn’t my cup of tea. Its history of low-quality earnings paired with high levels of uncertainty makes it a risky investment for me, hence why I won’t be investing in easyJet shares. Instead, I’ll be investing in other growth stocks that have better profit margins. | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/06/21/heres-why-the-easyjet-share-price-is-crashing/ | 2022-06-21T17:21:28Z | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/06/21/heres-why-the-easyjet-share-price-is-crashing/ | true | 1 |

Stephen Colbert wasted no time in addressing news about his own show on Monday evening. The host of CBS' Late Show said hello and then asked the audience "Quick question, how was your weekend? I certainly had an interesting one, because some of my staff had a memorable one."
Colbert was referring to news that came out on Friday that members of his staff and crew were arrested on Capitol Hill as they tried to film a segment featuring Triumph The Insult Comic Dog, a puppet voiced by Robert Smigel. The segment was focused on the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
"Democratic and Republican congresspeople agreed to talk to Triumph," Colbert said. "He's a bipartisan puppy. He's so neutral, he's neutered."
The production crew already had filmed for two days in congressional offices.
"They went through security clearance, shot all day Wednesday, all day Thursday, invited into the offices of the congresspeople they were interviewing," Colbert said.
After the interviews on Thursday, the crew was filming some "last-minute puppetry" in a hallway at the Longworth House Office Building when they were approached and detained by the Capitol Police. They were processed and later released.
Colbert didn't appear upset by what happened with the police and said it "actually, isn't that surprising."
"The Capitol police are much more cautious than they were, say,18 months ago, and for a very good reason," Colbert said, referring to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
He added that "If you don't know what that reason is, I know what news network you watch," Colbert added. Fox News chose not to air the initial Jan. 6 committee hearing.
Overall, though, Colbert said the "Capitol Police were just doing their job," and that everyone was professional and calm throughout the entire thing.
Colbert called it "a fairly simple story," or at least it was "until the next night when a couple of the TV people started claiming that my puppet squad had quote 'committed insurrection' at the U.S. Capitol Building."
The "TV people" that Colbert referenced included Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who called the CBS team "saboteurs" and falsely said that they breached the Capitol.
"They weren't in the Capitol building," Colbert said Monday night. "And I'm shocked I have to explain the difference — but an insurrection involves disrupting the lawful actions of Congress and howling for the blood of elected leaders, all to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
"This was first-degree puppetry. Hijinks with intent to goof. Misappropriation of an old Conan bit."

— Triumph® ᴛʜᴇ ɪɴsᴜʟᴛ ᴄᴏᴍɪᴄ ᴅᴏɢ™ Headquarters💩 (@TriumphICDHQ) June 16, 2022
Colbert said the false narrative about his team was a predictable move by the conservative TV media.
"They want to talk about something other than the Jan. 6th hearings on the actual seditionist insurrection that led to the deaths of multiple people, and the injury of over 140 police officers," Colbert said. "But drawing any equivalence between rioters storming our Capitol to prevent the counting of electoral ballots and a cigar-chomping toy dog, is a shameful and grotesque insult to the memory of everyone who died. And it obscenely trivializes the service and the courage the Capitol Police showed on that terrible day."
To make his point about how ludicrous it would be to call the segment filming an insurrection, Colbert joked about "the long history of puppet lawlessness" including the Jim Henson classic, The Great Muppet Caper.
"But, in this case, our puppet was just a puppet doing puppet stuff," Colbert said. "And sad to say, so much has changed in Washington that the Capitol Police do have to stay at high alert at all times because of the attack on Jan. 6th. And as the hearings prove more clearly every day, the blame for that actual insurrection all lies with Putin's puppet."

LOS ANGELES, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a time when there is an aggressive legislative push to fully decriminalize prostitution, including pimping and buying sex, it's important that we stay informed. As a survivor of exploitation herself, Harmony Grillo has information that may change the way you think about this issue.
In May of 2021, Harmony released her TEDx Talk titled "Prostitution: The Oldest Oppression in the Book." Almost as soon as her TEDx Talk was released, it was the target of a practice called spamdexing that greatly hindered the performance of the video on YouTube. At the suggestion of TEDx UCLA the video was reuploaded to TED with a new title in hopes of a fresh launch. Only this time, despite the fact that it had already been through their rigorous review process, the talk was not reposted. An email from TED claimed that it fell "outside the content guidelines" and they wouldn't publish it.
In her TED Talk, Harmony presents evidence that prostitution is a system of oppression that exploits the most vulnerable in our society by capitalizing off of the poor and the sexually traumatized, all while fueling sex trafficking. She presents practical ways to reduce trafficking and to protect those most vulnerable to this pathway.
It is crucial that this information gets out so that we can be prepared to protect those among us who are most vulnerable. You can view Harmony's Banned TEDx Talk and help us spread the word, by going to mybannedtedtalk.com.
When you go to mybannedtedtalk.com you will find:
- A direct link to the banned talk.
- Information on how to protect the vulnerable
- A free Advocacy Toolkit
- Links to help you share this valuable information
Up to 90% of women in the sex industry where sexually abused as children and they experience PTSD at rates equivalent to combat veterans. It's time that we stand up for them. We hope that you will help us.
Harmony is an author, activist and survivor of exploitation. She is the Founder and Executive Director of Treasures, a non-profit that empowers women in the sex industry and survivors of trafficking to live healthy, flourishing lives. Armed with 20 years of personal experience, evidence-based theories and a Master's Degree in Social Work, she comprehensively sheds light on the impact of a pornified culture and the lives of those trapped within it. Her pursuit of justice has led to Congressional recognition and opportunities to train the Department of Justice and FBI in best practices. You can read more about Harmony's account of moving from victim, to survivor to liberator in her memoir, Scars and Stilettos.
Treasures was founded in 2003 in Los Angeles - the Adult Industry Capital of the World. It is survivor-led and volunteer-driven organization that has a vision to see a sex industry outreach in every city on the planet where the commercial sex industry is operating. Through their Global Training Program, they have equipped leaders to reach and provide care to women in the sex industry in over 120 cities across nine countries, on six continents.

At present, there are growing concerns over the increasing release of trace metals in the Sundarbans mangrove areas in Bangladesh due to nearby shipbreaking and metallurgical industries, untreated waste discharge, navigation activities, and other natural processes that deposit trace metals into soils. The current study investigated the spatial distribution, contamination level, and ecotoxicity of eight trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni) in Sundarbans soils. Results revealed that all the trace metals except Cr were present in higher concentrations compared to Earth's shale and/or upper continental crust. Principal component analysis and Pearson correlation showed strong positive correlations (p"‰<"‰0.05) between Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn; Ni with Mn and Cr. There were significant associations (p"‰<"‰0.05) of % clay and total organic carbon (TOC) with Pb-Ni-Cr and negative correlations of pH with all the trace metals. The hierarchical cluster analysis grouped Pb, Ni, and Cd into one distinct cluster, suggesting they are derived from the same sources, possibly from anthropogenic activities. Geo accumulation index (I-geo), enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), and spatial distribution showed moderately polluted soils with Ni, Pb, and Cd (EF"‰="‰3"“7.4, CF"‰="‰1"“2.8, I-geo"‰="‰0"“0.9) and low pollution by Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn (EF"‰<"‰3, CF"‰<"‰1, I-geo"‰<"‰0). The ecological risk index (RI) revealed that S-4 (RI"‰="‰114.02) and S-5 (RI"‰="‰100.04) belonged to moderate risk, and other areas posed a low risk (RI"‰<"‰95). The individual contribution of Cd (25.9"“73.7%), Pb (9.2"“29.1%), and Ni (9.6"“26.4%) to RI emphasized these metals were the foremost concern in the Sundarbans mangroves due to their long persistence time and high toxicity, even if they were present in low concentrations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2639784667937/retraction-note-human-blood-type-influences-the-host-seeking-behavior-and-fecundity-of-the-asian-malaria-vector-anopheles-stephensi | 2022-06-21T17:40:51Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2639784667937/retraction-note-human-blood-type-influences-the-host-seeking-behavior-and-fecundity-of-the-asian-malaria-vector-anopheles-stephensi | false | 5 |

Ryan Garcia recently showcased his punching power in a video of him hitting the bag. ’KingRy’ is in camp ahead of his fight with Javier Fortuna on July 16.
In the video, Garcia’s trainer and father Henry, spoke about his son's ability:
“When he wants to let loose, you’ll see the results. 3 or 4 [rounds] maybe. Ryan has been boxing since he was 7, they just see the social media and YouTube... There's a lot of jealousy, he is tall, he is handsome, he is very popular.”
His father also let out a warning to Javier Fortuna, Garcia said:
“Ryan Garcia will put on a show. Don’t hate him, just wait till he goes out there and you will see how good he is.”
Watch the video here:
Ryan Garcia is set to make his return at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The arena was initially booked for a fight with Isaac ‘Pitull’ Cruz. The fight, however, fell through. Garcia accused Cruz of ducking him and made several posts on social media critical of Cruz’s management team.
Instead, Garcia will face Javier Fortuna. Fortuna (37-3-1), has lost three times at the professional level. Only one of those defeats was before the distance against Jason Sosa. The second defeat of his career was a split decision loss to Robert Easter Jr. The third was a unanimous decision defeat to Joseph Diaz.
Ryan Garcia is one of the biggest names in boxing
Garcia is yet to fight for a proper world championship, but is one of the biggest names in boxing. Outside of the sport, Garcia has a huge social media presence. 'KingRy' has 8.9 million followers on Instagram.
Whilst Devin Haney is the Undisputed Champion at lightweight, holding the WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF World Championships, he is not the most popular fighter.
One of the biggest potential fights in the division right now is between Garcia and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. Davis has knocked out 25 of the 27 opponents that he has faced. According to BoxRec, Davis is the No.1-ranked lightweight.

Adds context
PARIS, June 21 (Reuters) - Full-body swimwear including the Burkini should not be worn in public pools in the city of Grenoble, France's top administrative court ruled on Tuesday, upholding an earlier order by a lower court.
"The new rules of procedure for the municipal swimming pools of Grenoble affect (...) the proper functioning of the public service, and undermines the equal treatment of users, so that the neutrality of public service is compromised," the Conseil d'Etat said in a statement.
Body-covering swimwear - which leaves only the face, hands and feet exposed - is often worn by Muslim women who wish to preserve their modesty in accordance with their beliefs.
Grenoble's city council had voted in favour of allowing the use of burkinis on May 16, sparking howls of protest from conservative and far-right politicians.
The city's move was challenged by the government and a lower administrative court suspended the measure. Grenoble responded by taking its legal fight to the Conseil d'Etat.
After the Conseil d'Etat's ruling, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Grenoble's act had been "definitively overruled".
"A victory for our "separatism" law, for secularism and above all for the Republic," Darmanin said.
Nobody at Grenoble's city council was immediately available for comment.
The debate about burkinis has been heated in France since 2016, when a city in the south of France tried to ban them from public beaches. On that occasion, the Conseil d'Etat overturned the ban, saying it infringed fundamental liberties.
There is no nationwide ban in place, but they are prohibited in many public pools across the country.
Far-right party leader Marine Le Pen - who came second after Macron in presidential elections in April and who scored a historic success in Sunday's legislative elections - has said she wants to introduce a law banning burkinis in municipal pools.
Muslim rights organisations in France have said that bans on burkinis restrict fundamental liberties and discriminate against Muslim women.
France, which has the largest Muslim minority in Europe, estimated at 5 million, in 2010 introduced a ban on full-face niqab and burqa veils in public.

The Welsh Government will support 1,200 young people to start their own business as part of plans to foster a new culture of entrepreneurship among young people in Wales, Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething announced today.
Announcing £5 million over the next three years to deliver on the self-employment aspect of the ambitious Young Person’s Guarantee, the Minister said supporting young entrepreneurs will form a vital part of making Wales a place where more young people feel confident in planning their future.
The Welsh Government is determined that there will be no lost generation in Wales as a result of the Covid pandemic. The Young Person’s Guarantee will provide everyone under 25 in Wales with the offer of work, education, training, or self-employment.
The investment is included in the £20.9m a year commitment to extend the hugely successful Business Wales service beyond the end of EU funding in 2023.
Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:
“Encouraging young adults to stay in Wales by building their careers and launching their own businesses here will be instrumental as we re-design our economy post-coronavirus.
“We see this as the start of a new era, which is why we are taking bold action to build a vibrant economy that provides opportunities for all as we sustainability invest in the industries and services of the future.
“Our young people hold the key to Wales’ future success. Their talents, skills and creativity are essential to ensuring our economic success. I am determined we do all we can as a government to help deliver the long-term economic benefits our young people deserve for them all to fulfil their potential.
“By working together towards the vision we have set out for a greener, fairer Wales we can pave a path to prosperity for all young people, regardless of background.”
The £5 million funding will build on the success of Big Ideas Wales, run by the Welsh Government’s Business Wales service, which provides learning through workshops led by entrepreneurs and a network of Champions to aide transition from Further and Higher Education into the world of work.
Specialist support will be provided via:
- A new Young Person’s Start Up Grant of up to £2,000 per business. This will support 1,200 young people that are unemployed, left education or training in the early stage of business to become self-employed.
- Pre and post start up support for one year, designed to help individuals overcome any barriers to starting a business, including one-to-one business advisory support, entrepreneur mentoring, business planning and financial management.
Twenty-year-old Neath Port Talbot entrepreneur Poppi Kingsepp recently launched her own catering business with help from Big Ideas Wales and a Barriers To Start Up Grant of £2,000 from Business Wales.
She said:
“Launching a business in the post-pandemic hospitality sector proved to be a challenge, especially for someone like myself who knew absolutely nothing about business. But Big Ideas Wales had so much valuable advice to offer me as a young entrepreneur and supplied me with the tools I needed to navigate this industry.
“I couldn’t have done it without the support of my business advisor, who turned up to each and every one of our weekly progress meetings armed with useful advice, helpful resources and lots of assets to help grow my business.”
Summer Start-Up Week 2022, a collaboration by Further and Higher Education institutions in partnership with Big Ideas Wales, began yesterday with more than 180 young people registered for the award-winning, free, online course to support young people’s transition from education into business.
The Economy Minister added:
“The UK Government broke its promise to replace in full the EU money Wales was set to receive. The Welsh Government cannot replace the missing £1.1 billion but we are determined to support young people with the funding we do have. Our support is a down payment on the future success of a modern Welsh economy, powered by skilled workers and ambitious businesses.
“We will continue to press the UK government to back a Team Wales vision where talent is supported and the £1 billion promised to Wales is restored.” | https://businessnewswales.com/new-5-million-fund-to-boost-entrepreneurialism-among-young-people-in-wales/ | 2022-06-21T17:49:14Z | https://businessnewswales.com/new-5-million-fund-to-boost-entrepreneurialism-among-young-people-in-wales/ | true | 2 |
A well-known proverb states “necessity is the mother of invention.” Whatever the cause, Corsicana resident Haskell Dighton said he hopes his latest invention improves the quality of life for millions around the world.
Dighton has received a United States patent for a clothes dryer which uses cold air to dry clothing.
“Cold air removes moisture faster than hot air. Therefore, clothes dry faster than with warm air,” he said.
Tests show that this type of dryer uses up to 50% less energy than conventional electric dryers. The energy and possible space saving properties allow for several applications.
The dryer operates from a standard 110 volt outlet as opposed to a conventional dryer’s 220 volt requirement. In these times of rising energy costs, a clothes dryer that can do the job in a shorter time would be beneficial.
Dighton believes now is the time to switch to the “coolest dryer,” which he hopes will soon be on the market.
He earned two engineering degrees and began working as a computer engineer for IBM out of college. In 1965, he was part of a team which built the world’s largest computer at the time, the IBM 360. Dighton also built one of the first optical badge readers.
He has two individual patents and has worked on several others for various companies, including Texas Instruments, where he built the HAL-9 industrial computer, which is on display in the Science and Industry Museum at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
Dighton recalled how the idea for the dryer first came to him.
“I was cruising with some buddies to a hamburger joint after an afternoon of swimming. I put my suit in front of the car’s air conditioner to dry while the others hung theirs from the mirrors and radio antenna. When we got to the restaurant, my swimsuit was dry while theirs were still dripping. The idea of drying with cold air occurred to me later when recalling this.”
That trip to the swimming hole occurred in 1962, and Dighton said he hopes it may help others save energy and live better in 2022.
He said he is looking forward to meeting with potential manufacturers soon.

AI-image editor Claid launches next-gen API to enhance user-generated content for marketplaces
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Claid.ai, an AI company that helps marketplaces improve user-generated images, today launched an end-to-end image processing platform, Claid API 2.0. Claid’s technology automatically enhances photos, removes backgrounds, aligns products on the canvas, and fixes lighting. Claid has already optimized over 100M user-generated photos for some of the biggest US companies.
Online marketplaces have little control over the quality of user-provided photos. Whereas visuals must work double-duty to convince potential buyers. Claid API automatically improves user-generated pictures and brings them in line with marketplace’s brand guidelines in just 1-2 seconds.
Studies show that quality user-generated images invoke more trust and outperform stock images. Finding a way to improve user-generated images is crucial for P2P platforms because higher trust inevitably leads to better engagement and more transactions.
“90% of online shoppers rely on product imagery when making a purchase decision. That’s why we are excited to launch Claid API 2.0 as it helps businesses to make the most of the users’ content. From now there is no need to invest in editors teams as all catalog manipulations can be done instantly in the cloud.” Sofiia Shvets, CEO and Co-founder of Claid & Let’s Enhance.
With many customizations, Claid API is now more compatible than ever with businesses of all sizes. Companies link the API and neural networks do all the editing — adjusting image size, colors and background to the required parameters.
“With a rapid development of generative AI technologies, we are excited to bring them to businesses in an easy-to-integrate package. After a quick setup, Claid instantly improves the quality of imagery on any website or mobile app, which was not technically possible before.” Vlad Pranskevičius, CTO and Co-founder of Claid & Let’s Enhance.
New Claid API 2.0 enables to automate editing of any number of user-generated photos, control enhancement settings by changing a few variables, and achieve a consistent and beautiful look that boosts conversions.
- Quick integration. Intuitive API design, developer-friendly docs and simple web interface to manage and monitor API access, use Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or any public web folder for storage integrations — no coding skills required.
- Simple and flexible. Combine operations to transform user-generated content to your standards. Use industry-specific presets for eCommerce, real estate, food, travel, printing and other marketplaces.
- Made easy for teams. Create users with different sets of rights and give access to Claid’s features to different people and departments in the company, securely connect cloud storage to process images.
The launch of Claid API follows Let’s Enhance’s $3M Seed round, announced in October, 2021. With investment in AI being the core of the fundraise, the team plans to scale, continue its fundamental AI research and build new integrations. Claid API by Let’s Enhance will empower opportunities for the millions of B2B companies around the world.
About Let’s Enhance
Let’s Enhance — an image enhancement AI startup, founded in 2018 by Sofiia Shvets and Vlad Pranskevičius. The startup’s team works fully remotely with offices in San Francisco and R&D in CEE. Within the past year the team has tripled, the AI-editing startup crossed $1M in annual revenue and raised a $3M Seed round to help marketplaces and Fortune500 companies scale faster with next-gen AI technology Claid.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milestone Brands LLC, the premium spirits company based in Austin, Texas, today announced that it has acquired Victoria Distillers Inc ("VDI"), one of the oldest artisan distilleries in Canada and the producer of Empress 1908 Gin, and Azzurre Spirits Corporation, the U.S. importer of Empress 1908 Gin.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Now, the Browns wait for the NFL to rule in the Deshaun Watson case.
And with most of the civil lawsuits by massage therapists settled by Watson and his lawyers, one big problem should no longer be a possibility.
That would have been placing the QB on paid leave for the entire 2022 season, then awaiting how the courts would rule in the 24 lawsuits facing Watson.
Yes, that could have led to a suspension for part or all of 2023.
Now it’s likely that whatever the NFL does, it will be held to the 2022 season. Then Watson should be able to play in 2023, unless the league comes up with a stunning multiyear suspension.
There are still four lawsuits pending. But now that 20 have settled, that should set up the financial parameters to work out a deal taking care of those civil suits.
For the Browns, this has to be a relief. It would appear the worst-case scenario is over. Also, the nightmarish public relations battle over Watson’s conduct should be calmed down.
It is worth mentioning that Watson’s insistence on how he wanted to “clear my name” and didn’t plan to settle the lawsuits was nothing more than posturing. He had offered to settle a number of the suits a year ago.
So none of this was really about clearing his name. It was about making a deal – for both sides.
There will be people who say, “The civil suits are settled. There are no criminal charges. Let’s play ball.”
But most of the players suspended by the NFL weren’t criminally charged. That includes Kareem Hunt (eight games for a physical altercation with a woman) and Myles Garrett (six games for hitting Mason Rudolph in the head with a helmet during a game).
Tom Brady was suspended four games for deflating footballs. Receiver Calvin Ridley is suspended for all of 2022 for betting on football games.
No criminal charges in any of these examples.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Watson settling 20 cases “has no impact on the collectively bargained disciplinary process.’’
It’s hard to guess what the NFL will do. There are reports about Watson facing a severe penalty. And reports of the players union fighting hard to defend him, citing the improper conduct of some owners and the light penalties they received.
The league also must look into the actions of the Houston Texans, who reportedly supplied Watson with hotel rooms and Non-Disclosure Agreements to be given to the therapists when they met with Watson.
This is an ugly case on several fronts, not just Watson’s actions.
But for now, the NFL should be able to come up with a decision regarding Watson’s possible suspension. And that should happen soon.
For the Browns, Watson and the NFL, that should be good news. All sides need clarity in terms of what comes next.

NEW YORK (AP) — The maiden voyage of a cruise ship starring a boatload of musical theater stars — like Tony Award-winners Laura Benanti, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming and Lena Hall — will set sail next spring.
The Broadway Cruise — heading roundtrip from New York City to Bermuda, from March 31-April 5, 2023 — will also feature Tony-nominees Joshua Henry, Taylor Louderman and Jeremy Jordan, as well as Broadway favorites Randy Rainbow and Sierra Boggess.
Producers promise “intimate and grand scale shows and cabarets from Broadway’s coolest talent” as well as “tips and techniques from some of the best and brightest creative talent working today.”
Tony-nominated scenic designer David Korins will discuss his creative process when designing settings for the stage and Tony-nominated choreographer Kelly Devine will discuss the art of the dance. Chris Jahnke will serve as music director.
The cruise will borrow the Norwegian Gem, which accommodates 2,000 people. Cabin prices begin at $1,165 per person. The trip was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Cruise ships were an early source of outbreaks at the start of the pandemic. The CDC issued a no-sail order in March 2020, prompting a standstill that ended in June 2021 as cruise ships began to leave U.S. ports with new health and safety requirements.
All guests 12 and over — and all artists and crew — aboard The Broadway Cruise are required to be fully vaccinated and present proof of vaccination to board.

Time loops: they're not all they're cracked up to be. Sure, you can win a few quid at the race track and trick your girlfriend's leery co-workers into investing in doomed businesses, but you might just end up reliving your own death over and over and over again. It could go either way!
At least that's true of The Lazarus Project, Giri/ Haji writer Joe Barton's twisty, propulsive thriller, which is currently streaming on Sky and NOW. By the time the eight-episode series comes to its conclusion, we've seen just how dark Groundhog Day life can get. Though app-developer-turned-time-traveller George (Paapa Essiedu) succeeds in bringing about the end of the world in order to save his girlfriend Sarah's (Charly Clive) life, she breaks up with him soon after, and he finds himself in a far worse timeline than the one he blew up.
And then, in the finale, the Chinese government's dodgy time machine causes an explosion in space so massive that it wipes out all life on earth and triggers a perpetual three-week time loop (gotta love that failsafe). The time loop, which is still in play at the series' close, begins with George shooting fellow agent Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam) in the chest – meaning that Shiv is essentially just waking up and dying on repeat (until George figures out a way to save him). Oh, and the one person who might be able to reverse their fortunes, Janet (Vinette Robinson), is missing because she's been transported years back in time to 2012. It's a real fingertipper of a cliffhanger, teeing up a second run of episodes beautifully (Sky has not yet green-lit the series, but they've got Barton working on some scripts already to see where he might take the story). | https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/the-lazarus-project-finale-joe-barton | 2022-06-21T18:02:57Z | https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/the-lazarus-project-finale-joe-barton | false | 1 |
Tesla Inc TSLA shares are trading higher Tuesday as the stock rebounds after falling sharply last Thursday with the overall markets in the wake of the Fed's rate hike announcement.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point last week, representing the most aggressive rate hike since 1994. The rate hike pressured stocks across sectors and drove a selloff in tech-related names. Tesla's move lower was exacerbated after the EV company raised the prices of its vehicle models in the United States as raw material costs surge amid global supply-chain disruptions.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also said the company would cut its salaried workforce by 10% over the next three months. However, Musk reportedly walked back those comments in a recent speech during Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum.
According to an InsideEVs report, Musk said Tesla would reduce its headcount by closer to 3% to 3.5%, rather than the 10% reduction he initially said the company was aiming for. The Tesla CEO reportedly noted that Tesla's headcount will likely be higher a year from now than it is today.

TSLA Price Action: Tesla has a 52-week high of $1,243.49 and a 52-week low of $601.34.
The stock was 10.72% at $719.96 at press time, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

My Hero Academia Sales Prove the Manga's Final Act Is a Hit
The final arc of Kohei Horikoshi's epic superhero Shonen series is currently playing out in the pages of My Hero Academia's manga, with Deku and his friends at UA Academy facing down the likes of All For One, Shigaraki, and scores of antagonists that make up the League of Villains. While the Shonen franchise has always seen good sales when it comes to its story playing out in Weekly Shonen Jump, it seems that the last storyline of the series is giving Kohei Horikoshi's tale a big bump when it comes to the number of copies sold.
My Hero Academia is set to adapt the story of the War Arc this fall, with the sixth season of the anime set to see Shigaraki's Paranormal Liberation Front face off against both the young heroes of Class 1-A and the professional crime fighters that are working their hardest to hold together Hero Society. With the latest trailer giving fans a hint as to how Studio BONES is set to approach one of the biggest fights of the series to date, it will be interesting to see if the War Arc adaptation is also able to propel sales in a similar fashion as the final arc of the manga series has.
Twitter User Josu_Ke shared a sales chart that shows how My Hero Academia has increased sales since the beginning of the final arc of the superhero Shonen franchise, with Volume 33 becoming the highest-selling volume of the series to date thanks in part to the beginning of the Final Arc:

MHA is currectly on what we could say its peak selling point for now, with vol.33 recording a new all-time high.
With season 6 of the anime coming, the series is on a super great state. pic.twitter.com/LeVwoXLcV9
Recently, My Hero Academia released two new OVA specials, one of which saw the students of UA Academy participating in a baseball exhibition while the other further explored the internship that Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki had working under the number one hero Endeavor. With these two specials set to stream around the world later this year, 2022 is a great year for fans of Deku and his friends, though the Final Arc might not see all our heroes escape the battle against All For One and Shigaraki with their lives.
Do you think My Hero Academia's sales will continue to rise as the story of the Final Arc unfolds? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of UA Academy. | https://comicbook.com/anime/news/my-hero-academia-big-sales-manga-final-arc/ | 2022-06-21T18:13:12Z | https://comicbook.com/anime/news/my-hero-academia-big-sales-manga-final-arc/ | false | 1 |

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, Tuesday said that the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi would lose, noting that Nigerians are not ready for him to become president.
Aliyu disclosed this while fielding questions in a programme on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm.
Babangida who said it was too early for Obi to become president, noted that he had been rooting for Obi to become Alhaji Atiku Abubaka’s running mate.
His words: “Peter Obi is my good friend and a former member of my former Governors forum. “A very excellent person. His candidature, in terms of the Presidency, – I think he will make some name now. But he may be able to make it only in 2027, 2031. But 2023? Too early.
“Even though the young people might go for him, the name is not dropping everywhere else. I doubt if Nigerians are ready for him now as a presidential person.
“I would have loved him as a Vice President. Many of us were rooting for him to be Vice President to Atiku again.”
Mr Peter Obi is currently the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP and has gained the support of the Nigerian youths. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/peter-obi-may-make-it-in-2027-2031-not-2023-babangida-aliyu/ | 2022-06-21T18:16:10Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/peter-obi-may-make-it-in-2027-2031-not-2023-babangida-aliyu/ | true | 1 |

The Volta Regional Branch of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has added its voice to the call on government to grant public sector workers a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
The call for COLA which originally emanated from the Trade Union Congress last month is for government to add 20% more to the salaries of public workers.
At a press conference held in Ho on Tuesday, Chairman of NAGRAT-Volta, David Gellie said the demand for a Cost of Living Allowance is justifiable due to the rising cost of commodities on the market.
“It is trite knowledge that the cost of living in Ghana today is rising with the speed of light which has and continue to affect the livelihood of our members who are sacrificing to build this nation," he said.
“You can all attest to the fact that prices of goods and services have seen an astronomical rise coupled with over 50% increment in petroleum products from January 2022 to date and this unfortunate situation has aggravated the already precarious state of the Ghanaian teacher,” he lamented.
According to NAGRAT-Volta, despite these challenges, the “government has shown great insensitivity” and appears unconcerned about their demands.
The Association has threatened to lay down its working tools if the government does not heed the call by the end of June.
“We have come to our wits end; we can no longer bear the pain. We, therefore, demand of our leadership that if at the end of June, 2022, our call for COLA is not heeded to, thy have no option than to pay heed to the clarion call of our members to lay down our tools.” | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/NAGRAT-Volta-threatens-strike-action-over-COLA-demands-1566344 | 2022-06-21T18:19:52Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/NAGRAT-Volta-threatens-strike-action-over-COLA-demands-1566344 | false | 4 |
Less than 24 hours after Kraaifontein safety structures, community and faith leaders marched for peace, frustrated residents attacked and killed a man who they believe was behind a spate of robberies.
The incident, which is being investigated by police, occurred on Saturday at around 11.30am in Phase 7, Wallacedene, reports Cape Argus.
Police spokesperson André Traut said: “Kraaifontein Police are investigating the death of a 37-year-old man, following the discovery of a body on the corners of Lincoln Road and First Avenue in Belmont Park, Kraaifontein.
“Investigating officers suspect that the victim was beaten to death by community members who accused him of a crime. The circumstances are being investigated and arrests are yet to be made,” Traut said.
Kraaifontein Community Policing Forum (CPF) chairperson Rob Bissette said the forum was still gathering information about the incident, but was disappointed to learn of its occurrence.
The march on Friday saw residents calling for an end to violence against women and children.
Wallacedene Development Forum secretary, Masilakhe Benni Ngqebe, said the march was planned by Kraaifontein SAPS after a shocking gender-based violence attack in Wallacedene.
He said: “Some time ago, we had a case where a woman was badly assaulted and set alight by her partner.
“I think our police realised the need to be active in the space of raising awareness and thus hosted this march. | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/news/skelm-killed-by-a-mob-9defa88d-4192-4e8e-b23e-43c770cd69a9 | 2022-06-21T18:19:55Z | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/news/skelm-killed-by-a-mob-9defa88d-4192-4e8e-b23e-43c770cd69a9 | true | 1 |
Officers from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wrocław, south-western Poland, led to the arrest of a 38-year-old man in the Netherlands, who was placed under a European Arrest Warrant. Suspected of being associated with a criminal group dealing in drugs, he had been hiding for two years.
As disclosed to the Polish Press Agency (PAP) by the spokesman of the Lower Silesian police, the suspect was detained in a hotel in the Hague and, as part of the extradition procedure, was seized by Polish officers.
“Crimes involving the 38-year-old, who was considered very aggressive and dangerous, took place two years ago in the Zgorzelec district, south-western Poland,” the services said.
“According to the information we had, the wanted man acted as part of an organised criminal group dealing with drug distribution. Earlier, with the intention of taking a victim’s life with a hit-and-run on a man, he drove off from the scene providing no help to the victim. He also failed to comply with a court ban on driving motor vehicles,” they added.
From Europe to Africa
Already long wanted, the suspect was hiding in Europe and Africa, continually changing his place of residence and using personal data of other persons.
The police announced that the man is now in custody, where he will spend at least three years. His fate will now depend on the court’s decision.

'OFFICER MIKE,' THERAPY DOG DONATED BY K9S FOR WARRIORS, PROVIDES CARE AND COMFORT TO FIRST RESPONDERS
SURFSIDE, Fla., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Officer Mike may be the newest member of the Surfside Police Department, but in his six months walking the beat, he has already made an undeniable impact on his fellow officers.
That's because Officer Mike is not your average man in blue. He is a fluffy goldendoodle and retired Service Dog who came to the Surfside Police Department courtesy of K9s For Warriors' Station Dog program. He is trained to lower anxiety and stress among officers following the Champlain Tower collapse one year ago this week.
K9s For Warriors, the nation's largest provider of trained Service Dogs for military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual assault, and the Town of Surfside formally introduced Officer Mike to the public today in a ceremony at Veterans Park in memory of the lives lost one year ago.
"At K9s For Warriors, we know heroes are found in every community. That's why we're dedicated to providing life-saving dogs to our first responders, just like we do for our military veterans," said Rory Diamond, CEO of K9s For Warriors. "Our Station Dog program gives law enforcement and first responders an unconventional tool, a therapy dog, to help alleviate the stress and trauma they experience daily while serving our communities. We are thrilled Officer Mike is doing just that for our officers in Surfside after experiencing such devastating loss almost one year ago."
Surfside Police officers were among the first to arrive at the site of the Champlain Tower collapse on June 24, 2021. The catastrophic collapse claimed the lives of 98 people and local first responders heard the cries of those underneath the rubble, feeling helpless as they were unable to reach them. The hours, days, and months that passed since that devastating day have been anything but easy for the first responders and law enforcement who worked tirelessly to save as many people as they could.
Recognized as a therapy dog through the American Kennel Club, Officer Mike is providing relief, love, laughter and at times, a needed distraction for the department and town. The Town of Surfside brought him in to help their officers stay present and adequately process their emotions following traumatic events and have already seen an immensely positive impact on the officers, first responders, and staff. During the weeks and months since he became a Station Dog, Officer Mike has also been there to help comfort victims' families and community members.
"I am truly proud to have Officer Mike serving as our Station Dog," said Rogelio Torres, Chief of Police. "In addition to providing emotional support for our officers and community, he is an outstanding ambassador for our Police Department and a real extension of our extraordinary team."
As part of its mission, K9s For Warriors partners with law enforcement and first responder agencies to donate reliable, high quality K9s to provide emotional support to law enforcement officers, firefighters, dispatchers, victims, and others who are repeatedly exposed to traumatic events in the line of duty. Although these dogs are not Service Dogs and are not qualified to be paired with a veteran, they have retired from Service Dog work or received extensive training from K9s For Warriors' trainers prior to starting their career as a Station Dog.
"Time and time again, K9s For Warriors has seen the effects a Service Dog has on a Warrior as they continue to confront their service-related trauma," said Greg Wells, K9s For Warriors Station Dog manager, K9 For Warriors graduate, and former law enforcement. "Those experiences are not dissimilar to the stressors that our law enforcement and first responder communities accumulate during their careers. As former law enforcement and a military veteran, it means more to me than I could ever explain to share the healing power of dogs with the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day in our communities."
"Surfside's Police Department, Town Administration, and residents are forever grateful to the incredible team at K9s for Warriors for blessing us with Officer Mike," said Andrew Hyatt, Town Manager. "Over the past few months, his presence has brought a loving, warm energy to a community in need of healing."

These Are The States That Would Ban Abortion If Roe Fell
There are at least 13.
The May 2 leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson has prompted widespread concern that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. It’s not a fun conversation to have, but it’s the reality that this country is living in. So if Roe v. Wade is overturned, these states might ban abortion — and things could get very ugly very fast.
In 1973, Roe v. Wade gave pregnant people in this country the right to an abortion on the federal level — a right that up until now has been upheld under the 14th Amendment’s implied right to privacy. But in his leaked draft opinion, Justice Samuel Alito argued that the right to an abortion is “not deeply rooted in the nation’s history and traditions” or “implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,” indicating that the court intends to overturn Roe, and thus, the federal right to abortion. If that happens, abortion won’t immediately become illegal on the federal level; instead, that decision would fall to individual states, meaning that states could choose whether or not to allow abortion within their borders. But since some states have already made it very difficult to get an abortion, there are definitely some areas where getting a legal abortion may be completely off the table.
As of June 2022, at least 13 states, including Louisiana and Texas, have “trigger laws” on the books, which means that those states would immediately ban most or all abortions the moment the Supreme Court overturns Roe. The other 11 states with trigger laws are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Wyoming. Louisiana and three other states — Tennessee, Alabama, and West Virginia — have also amended their state constitutions to declare that abortion rights are specifically not protected under their states’ laws. In other words, these states have prepared in advance for the potential overturning of Roe.
Many other states also have extremely restrictive laws concerning abortion, even if they don’t have trigger laws or outright bans in place. According to reproductive rights think tank the Guttmacher Institute, 22 states have laws that could, or already do, restrict abortion access in a post-Roe United States. Of those, seven states have made it clear that they plan to restrict abortion to the greatest possible extent if Roe is overturned. And of course, there’s the Mississippi law at the center of Dobbs v. Jackson: In 2018, Mississippi passed a law to prohibit almost all abortions after 15 weeks — well before a pregnancy is actually viable. By bringing this case before the Supreme Court, the state of Mississippi is directly challenging the abortion protections codified in Roe v. Wade.
But there are also states that will definitely protect abortion if the country’s highest court decides to overturn the federal right to abortion. As of June 1, 16 states and the District of Columbia have abortion protections in place, per the Guttmacher Institute, with Colorado, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. all protecting the right to an abortion through pregnancy. There are also a few states — Hawaii, Alaska, New York, and Washington — which had passed laws allowing abortion access prior to Roe, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which could mean they would legalize it on the state level again, should Roe fall.
In fact, New York has bolstered its abortion protections in advance of the Dobbs decision, per Politico, with Gov. Kathy Hochul signing a package of laws on June 13 that would protect abortion patients and providers alike from out-of-state legal retribution. However, even those who live in states that will protect abortion rights will see an impact from bans in other states — abortion providers in states like New York will likely see an uptick in patients traveling in from states where abortion becomes restricted or illegal.
“In many states, like California and New York and Connecticut, abortion will still be available, but people from the states where abortion is made illegal will travel to the states where it’s legal,” Carrie N. Baker, Ph.D., a professor of the study of women and gender at Smith College, previously told Elite Daily. “And so for people in states where it’s legal, waiting periods will get longer, it will take longer to access abortion.” In states like Oklahoma and South Dakota, clinic closures have already resulted in patients traveling further to seek abortion care, per The New York Times.
Even though Roe v. Wade hasn’t been officially overturned yet, it’s becoming more likely that this will happen — not only because of Alito’s leaked draft opinion but also because of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority. As of 2022, the court has a 6-3 conservative majority, following President Trump’s appointment of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. According to Politico, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Justice Clarence Thomas all voted in the majority with Alito ahead of the leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson.
The prospective overturning of Roe has prompted waves of concern among reproductive rights advocates. Many Americans have already felt the devastating consequences of abortion restrictions in states that currently limit abortion care, facing longer wait times, prohibitive transportation and lodging costs, and even the criminalization of miscarriage in some states. At the same time, advocates are also concerned that a repeal of Roe v. Wade could jeopardize other civil liberties, such as birth control access or same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson in late June or early July.

Ed Sheeran and his co-songwriters have been awarded over £900,000 in legal costs after winning their High Court copyright trial over the hit Shape Of You earlier this year.
At a trial in March, the singer and co-writers Snow Patrol’s John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon faced accusations that their track ripped off a 2015 song by Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue.
However, Mr Justice Zacaroli concluded Mr Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously” copied a phrase in the song.
Mr Sheeran, his co-authors and their music companies originally launched legal proceedings in May 2018, asking the High Court to declare they had not infringed Mr Chokri and Mr O’Donoghue’s copyright.
Two months later, Mr Chokri – a grime artist who performs under the name Sami Switch – and Mr O’Donoghue issued their own claim for “copyright infringement, damages and an account of profits in relation to the alleged infringement”.
The pair had alleged that an “Oh I” hook in Shape Of You is “strikingly similar” to an “Oh Why” refrain in their own track.
But in his previous judgment, Mr Justice Zacaroli concluded “Mr Sheeran had not heard Oh Why and in any event that he did not deliberately copy the Oh I phrase from the Oh Why hook.”
He dismissed the counterclaim and granted a declaration to Mr Sheeran and his fellow songwriters that they had not infringed the copyright in Oh Why.
Following the ruling, lawyers for Mr Chokri and Mr O’Donoghue had said that Mr Sheeran and the other claimants should pay their own legal costs, claiming they had failed to provide documents and demonstrated “awkwardness and opacity”.
However, in a ruling on Tuesday, Mr Justice Zacaroli said that the lesser-known songwriters should pay the legal costs, ordering an interim payment of £916,200.
A further hearing is expected to assess and finalise the sums.
“I consider it is appropriate that the claimants’ success is reflected in an order that their costs are paid by the defendants, without reduction save for that which is made as part of the process of detailed assessment,” Mr Justice Zacaroli said.
The judge dismissed arguments that the defendants would have changed their approach to the case if some documents and explanations about how Shape Of You was written had been provided earlier.
Mr Justice Zacaroli said: “None of the disclosure or explanations, once provided to the defendants, caused them to alter their approach at all.
“Instead, they not only maintained their attack on Mr Sheeran but broadened it by asserting that he was a ‘magpie’ who habitually misappropriated song ideas from other writers.”
During the 11-day trial in central London, Mr Sheeran denied he “borrows” ideas from unknown songwriters without acknowledgement and insisted he “always tried to be completely fair” in crediting people who contribute to his albums.
In a video message after the ruling in April, Mr Sheeran said: “Claims like this are way too common now and have become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there is no basis for the claim, and it’s really damaging to the songwriting industry.
“Lawsuits are not a pleasant experience and I hope with this ruling it means in the future baseless claims like this can be avoided. This really does have to end.” | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/music/4442010/ed-sheeran-and-co-writers-awarded-legal-fees-after-high-court-copyright-win/ | 2022-06-21T18:25:33Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/music/4442010/ed-sheeran-and-co-writers-awarded-legal-fees-after-high-court-copyright-win/ | false | 11 |

B.C. honey bee keepers are reporting a loss of 32 per cent of their colonies from through the winter – higher than a typical year, according to a survey published by the province.
While some colony loss is to be expected, this year’s losses are about 20 per cent more than what beekeepers say they would be happy or satisfied with, the voluntary survey completed by both professional and hobbyists found.
The survey received a strong volume of responses from Vancouver Island, Fraser Valley and Okanagan, with beekeepers in those areas reporting similar levels of losses. Beekeepers from northwestern B.C. reported higher average losses than the rest of the province, however, the data from the region is more inconsistent.
For Jeff Lee, he and his wife saw a loss of about 30 per cent at their business, Honey Bee Zen Apiaries in Creston.
“If I had 10 per cent [losses], I would be happy, 15 is still good too,” Lee said.
There are competing perspectives on the cause of this year’s colony loss. According to professor Leonard Foster from the University of British Columbia: “it’s complicated.”
Foster, who studies colony loss as part of the UBC’s BeeHIVE Research Cluster, suspects that weather patterns will play an increasingly significant role in colony loss.
He is careful to note that “there isn’t a direct relationship between any single extreme weather event” and colony loss, and that broader climate trends are more indicative than any individual storm or heat dome.
The varroa mite is a pest that beekeepers often cite as the cause of their losses. The mite originated in Asia and carries viruses that can be deadly for Canadian honeybees, which are usually from Europe or Oceania.
In 2018, Lee and his wife reported losses nearing 90 per cent because they did not appropriately prepare their colonies for the mites in time. Since then, they have begun treating their bees in August, which is generally enough to carry their colonies through the winter.
Towards the end of the winter, Lee’s colonies seemed to have fared well. He tracked his losses at 10 per cent at the end of February and 15 per cent at the end of March.
However, the bees that beekeepers maintain over the summer are not the same ones that they keep over the winter.
Winter bees have a life cycle of approximately six months while summer bees are much shorter, at about six weeks.
Once spring arrives, winter bees tend to have enough life leftover to begin preparing for the first batch of summer bees. However, this year, an unseasonably cold spring meant that the winter bees could not go about their preparations as they ordinarily would. This change caused a spike in losses.
Lee suspects that the cold spring (as well as the warm fall from last year) threw off his mite treatment timeline and resulted in a greater loss to the pests than in a typical year.
Since their losses in 2018, Lee and his wife have found new ways to address colony loss. Instead of simply enduring the losses or going out and buying entirely new colonies from abroad to replace their old ones, the couple now focuses on building their own colonies by only buying new queen bees and redistributing their current bees.
The process is lengthier than simply buying replacements, but is more cost-effective, according to Lee.

Kim Kardashian says she spoke to therapists and waited six months before introducing children to Pete Davidson
Reality star shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West
Kim Kardashian has spoken candidly about introducing her four children to her boyfriend Pete Davidson, with the Skims founder revealing that she waited six months and consulted friends, family and therapists before doing so.
The Kardashians star, 41, discussed the introduction of the Saturday Night Live comedian, 28, to the four children she shares with ex-husband Kanye West: North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three, during an appearance on the Today show on Tuesday.
According to Kardashian, who has been dating Davidson since October 2021, she sought advice from her loved ones, such as sister Kourtney Kardashian, and professionals, before introducing her children to her new boyfriend.
When asked by Today host Hoda Kotb how she decided when to introduce Davidson to her family, she replied: “Luckily, I have a sister who has been through it all, and we talked about it.” Kardashian’s sister Kourtney, who shares three children with her ex Scott Disick, recently married Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
Kardashian said she also “consulted with a few therapists,” as well as friends who have “been through it”.
According to the reality star, she “definitely” wanted to wait until she had been dating Davidson for six months before introducing him to her four children. “That was like the marker,” she explained.
Kardashian also acknowledged that it’s “different for everyone, and different things work for different people,” before noting that you “just have to do what feels right and try to be as respectful and cautious as possible”.
During the interview, Kardashian noted that she also waited a while to begin dating after her divorce from West, following nearly seven years of marriage. “I waited a while, I waited a good 10 months before I was ready to open myself up, and I think you definitely need that time to yourself,” she explained. “Then, once you’re ready to get out there, I felt like I just wanted new energy, and something different, and it definitely took me by surprise.”
Kardashian’s comments come after Davidson, who has already dedicated multiple tattoos to his reality star girlfriend, unveiled ink that appeared to be dedicated to the Skims founder’s children.
In May, the comedian was photographed with a tattoo of the initials KNSCP, which many fans speculated stand for the names of Kardashian and her children.
The former SNL star also has a tattoo dedicated to Kardashian that reads: “My girl is a lawyer,” as well as a branding of her name.

CAIRO (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman departed for Jordan after wrapping up a visit to Egypt on Tuesday following talks with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
The two leaders discussed a wide range of topics, including ties between the two regional heavyweights and President Joe Biden’s Middle East visit next month, according to el-Sissi's office.
The two countries signed 14 investment deals worth $7.7 billion in fields including infrastructure, renewable energy and the pharmaceutical industry, according to Saudi Commerce Munster Majid bin Abdullah Al Qasabi.
All the deals save one are private sector agreements. They include a $1.5 billion deal between Saudi Arabia’s Acwapower and Egypt’s state-run electricity company to build a wind power plant, according to Egypt's Cabinet.
A joint statement also said Saudi Arabia would lead efforts to inject $30 billion of investments in Egypt. The statement did not elaborate.
Bin Salman arrived in Cairo on Monday evening on the first leg of his regional tour, which includes stops in Jordan and Turkey. The crown prince received a warm welcome in Cairo: El-Sissi was at the airport for both his arrival and departure.
Bin Salman departed Cairo on Tuesday for Amman for talks with King Abdullah II of Jordan, who will also attend a Saudi Arabia-hosted summit with the American president. The summit will include the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Iraq and Egypt.
Biden is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia at the tail end of his July 13-16 Middle East trip that includes stops in Israel and the occupied West Bank. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Saudi-crown-prince-concludes-Egypt-visit-heads-17255712.php | 2022-06-21T18:30:22Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Saudi-crown-prince-concludes-Egypt-visit-heads-17255712.php | false | 11 |

Kutaisian tribes lived to Four-time major champion Naomi Osaka announced the launch of her new media company on Tuesday.
Called Hana Kuma, which translates to "flower bear" in Japanese, the company is a partnership with LeBron James' SpringHill Company and will produce documentaries as well as scripted and unscripted series.
"What excites me is being able to inspire people and tell new stories, particularly ones that I would have wanted to see when I was a kid," Osaka said in an interview with The New York Times. "I always wanted to kind of see someone like me."
Hana Kuma's first project, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is a documentary about former Hawaiian congresswoman Patsy Mink, who was the first woman of color elected to Congress and the sponsor of Title IX.
James, who co-founded SpringHill in 2020 with Maverick Carter, praised Osaka's "grace and power" to the Times and said he believed the partnership would "help empower her to do even more great things."
Hana Kuma is the latest high-profile business venture for Osaka, whom Forbes named the highest-paid female athlete in history in 2020. Last month, she announced the launch of her new athlete management agency alongside her longtime agent, Stuart Duguid. The agency, called Evolve, signed fellow tennis star Nick Kyrgios as its first client earlier this week.
Osaka hasn't fared quite as well on the court in recent months. She is currently ranked No. 42 in the world but hasn't played since losing in the first round of the French Open.

Rep. Schiff played a video of election-denying protesters chanting “stop the steal” outside the home of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. The protestors could be heard calling Benson a “threat to democracy," a “tyrant” and a “felon.”
Benson, in a taped interview with the committee, was then heard describing the ordeal.
“We started to hear the noises outside my home, and that’s my stomach sunk, and I thought: It’s me,” Benson was heard saying. “We don’t know what’s going to — and the uncertainty of that was the fear. Like are they coming with guns? Are they going to attack my house? I’m here with my kid. You know, it’s, I’m trying to put him to bed. And so it was — that was the scariest moment, just not knowing what was going to happen,” she said.
The committee also played clips of Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling’s repeated pleas to the president and others to speak out against the violent threats election workers faced in 2020.
“It’s all gone too far,” Sterling said at a Dec. 1 press conference, listing out threats election workers in his state faced. “It has to stop. Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions. This has to stop, we need you to step up, and if you’re going to take a position of leadership, show some.”

‘You all are absolutely wrong’: Collin Morikawa commits to PGA Tour after LIV Golf rumours
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Collin MorikawaAmerican professional golfer
Collin Morikawa has committed to the PGA Tour after speculation over a move to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series.
Rumours spread after last week’s US Open with the two-time major winner linked as one of the next signings for the rebel tour, which returns in Portland, Oregon next week for its second event.
But with Brooks Koepka and Abraham Ancer understood to have signed for Greg Norman’s breakaway tour, the 25-year-old took to Twitter to dismiss the rumours and reaffirmed his future remains on the PGA Tour.
“Just your #11 money winner on PIP here to say good morning to everyone! Last week at my press conference, I said the media loves creating drama,” said Morikawa, who will defend his Open Championship at St Andrews next month.
“Sure enough, I woke up this morning to everyone thinking I’m next. Not to say I told you so but…I told you so.
“To state for the record, once again, you all are absolutely wrong. I’ve said it since February at Riviera that I’m here to stay on the PGA Tour and nothing has changed. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some cereal to pour in my milk.”
Sources have told The Independent that Koepka and Ancer will join Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed and Pat Perez as the latest players to defect from the PGA Tour.
Koepka’s brother, Chase, competed in the inaugural LIV event at Centurion Club earlier this month alongside major champions Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Charl Schwartzel, who earned an eye-watering £3.85m for winning in Hemel Hempstead.
The second 54-hole LIV event will take place at Pumpkin Ridge beginning on 30 June. | https://sports.yahoo.com/absolutely-wrong-collin-morikawa-commits-144538872.html?src=rss | 2022-06-21T18:37:51Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/absolutely-wrong-collin-morikawa-commits-144538872.html?src=rss | true | 2 |

Bart Scott remains one of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady’s biggest detractors — even after all these years of success.
The retired New York Jets linebacker and ESPN analyst has always been hesitant to give credit to his longtime rival, the Patriots. And so it should come as little surprise that Scott issued the following take on ESPN Radio on Monday.
Scott explained why he preferred facing Brady over Peyton Manning, the NFL’s other generational talent who entered the NFL at about the same time.
“I’d rather go against Tom Brady every day of the week. I believe that’s how everybody feels,” Scott said. “I lost as a No. 1 seed to Peyton Manning with the Baltimore Ravens. Peyton Manning gives you a different set of anxiety. With Tom Brady, it was more about Bill Belichick and the entire team, the execution and them having a game plan. But something in the first quarter meant something totally different in the second.”

Joe Biden took office with the intent of holding Saudi Arabia at arm’s length, if not farther. But circumstances have changed, and next month Biden will make a stop in the oil-rich kingdom during his first presidential journey to the Middle East.
Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince and de facto ruler, is no less odious today than he was when Biden spoke of making Saudi Arabia a “pariah” in the wake of the assassination of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
But the House of Saud has long been allied with Washington, a valuable counterweight to Iran in the region and a quiet ally of Israel. And on the scales of evil, MBS’ reign of repression is outweighed by Vladimir Putin and the daily atrocity that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
That invasion, and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its allies, have roiled the global energy markets and are a major (but not sole) factor in escalating gas prices in this nation and others. Biden would doubtless prefer to freeze out the Saudis, and the Russians, and the Iranians, and the Venezuelans; such a morally satisfying policy is economically impractical. Presidents have the duty of dealing with the world as it is, not as they wish it to be.
At least MBS is not getting Biden’s visit for free. The White House announced the trip after Saudi Arabia this month helped nudge OPEC+ to ramp up oil production by 648,000 barrels per day in July and August, and the kingdom agreed to extend a United Nations-mediated cease-fire in its seven-year war with Yemen. That’s far more than President Donald Trump ever got out of North Korea for his photo op meetings with Kim Jong Un.
Biden’s rapprochement with Riyadh is the acceptance of an unfortunate geopolitical reality. That contrasts to the behavior of a number of prominent professional golfers, most notably Phil Mickelson, eager to take Saudi money and burnish the kingdom’s reputation.
Mickelson and the others cite their beef with the established PGA Tour. Regardless of the legitimacy of their problems with the PGA, that doesn’t justify entangling themselves with MBS. The Saudi government may be a necessary geopolitical evil; it’s not necessary to athletics.

Almond oil: Know its benefits for skin and hair
Almonds or commonly known as badam, are one of the most delicious yet healthy nuts. The oil extracted from these, too, are no less in terms of nutrition content and are highly-recommended for all.

New Delhi: Almonds or commonly known as badam, are one of the most delicious yet healthy nuts. The oil extracted from these, too, are no less in terms of nutrition content and are highly-recommended for all.
Almond oil can be extracted in two different ways and each of these ways gives rise to two different types of almond oils—refined almond oil and unrefined almond oil. Refined oil is the one wherein the oil is extracted under high heat and pressure whereas, unrefined oil is the one where the oil is extracted by pressing the almonds without using heat. Unrefined almond oil is the form that provides higher benefits to the body as they have all the nutrients intact, whereas, refined almond oil can be used for commercial purposes.
If you are considering using almond oil for personal use, buy the unrefined cold-pressed one as they have the nutrients and other benefits still intact, unlike the refined one. Here are the benefits of almond oil for the skin and hair.
- It keeps the skin moisturised. Almond oil is emollient which keeps the skin moisturised by preventing water loss from the skin.
- It helps the skin from sun damage. Almond oil has
Vitamin E which helps to protect the skin from sun damage. - Almond oil has biotin or Vitamin B7 which helps to keep the hair strong. Also due to its non-stickiness, it can help to control frizz and keep the hair hydrated.
- Due to its moisturising nature, almond oil can be used by people with skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis as it helps to keep the skin moisturised.
- Almond oil has antifungal properties as well which makes it a product that is useful to fight fungal infections such as ringworm. Due to the same, it can also be used on the scalp for dandruff or any other fungal or bacterial infections.

Aduke, a HND1 student of Bartholomew College of Health, told her friends that the incident happened at Fatai’s residence.
According to her friends, Fatai had invited her to his house without giving her any hint of what he was about to do.
When she arrived at his home, she met some of his friends, all male, in his living room.
He then started to interrogate her, accusing her of engaging in hookups.
Things took a different turn when he and his friends forcefully grabbed her hands and legs and began to flog her with a cane.
At a point, he pulled her pant and flogged her bare butt. He had a change of heart and wore her pant back.
Aduke took to her Whatsapp status to share videos from the scene.
The matter was reported to the police and the boys were picked up.
Her friends are alleging that the matter might have been swept under the carpet.

A man already jailed on murder charges has been accused of setting fire to a Capital District business in 2017.
Saratoga County Sheriff’s deputies began investigating after someone broke into Curtis Lumber on State Route 67 in the Town of Ballston after the business closed on Nov. 27, 2017.
The suspect spent hours on the property sabotaging electrical and gas systems in several buildings, damaging computer systems, and tampering with the 911 system on a Verizon Wireless tower located on the property, according to police.
He also set fire to a storage building that was filled with sub-flooring, police said.
Total damage was estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Investigators eventually concluded that Anthony Paradise Jr., age 44, was the man responsible for the break-in, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office.
On June 9, he was charged with multiple crimes relating to the incident, including arson, burglary, and criminal tampering, all felonies.
Paradise was already jailed in Greene County awaiting trial for murder.
He’s accused of strangling and killing his 38-year-old cellmate, Delmus Tanner, in November 2018, the Albany Times Union reports.
Paradise was serving a 16-month to four-year sentence for robbing a Saratoga Springs bank in 2017, the outlet reports.
“I would like to thank Saratoga County Sheriff Mike Zurlo and the criminal investigation for their diligence and persistence in solving this very unusual crime," said Jay Curtis, owner of Curtis Lumber. "We are extremely pleased and look forward to this being behind us.”
