Warning: This post contains spoilers from the Legacies series finale. When Legacies was canceled, it wasn't just the end of the show's four-season run. It marked the end of the Vampire Diaries universe, which had been on the air since 2009 when The Vampire Diaries premiered on the CW. During its impressive eight-season run, The Vampire Diaries launched a spin-off, titled The Originals, which ran for five seasons. The Originals then birthed Legacies, the latest installment in the ongoing story of vampires, witches, hybrids, tribrids, and so much more in Mystic Falls, Virginia (and also New Orleans). For those involved in the creation of those shows — and notably for Vampire Diaries co-creator Julie Plec, who served as an executive producer on all three — the ending was bittersweet. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2640934807000/this-is-us-creator-reveals-parts-of-series-finale-were-filmed-years-ago | 2022-06-22T19:42:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2640934807000/this-is-us-creator-reveals-parts-of-series-finale-were-filmed-years-ago | true | null |

Chevron Corp. has struck long-term deals to source liquefied natural gas from Cheniere Energy Inc., which Chevron said would allow it to harness growing U.S. natural gas production and Gulf Coast export capacity to meet long-term demand for the fuel.
Cheniere said two of its subsidiaries signed sale and purchase agreements that at the plateau would see Chevron buy a combined 2 million metric tons a year of LNG.
Under the first agreement, Chevron agreed to purchase about 1 million tons of LNG annually on a free-on-board basis, Cheniere said. Deliveries are set to begin in 2026, reach the full 1 million tons a year during 2027 and continue until mid-2042.
Under the second agreement, Chevron has agreed to buy about 1 million tons a year of LNG, with deliveries beginning in 2027 and continuing for roughly 15 years, Cheniere said. The agreement is subject to Cheniere making a positive final investment decision to construct additional liquefaction capacity at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal beyond the seven-train Corpus Christi stage three project, the company said.
The purchase price for LNG under the agreements is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee, Cheniere said.
Cheniere said its Sabine Pass LNG subsidiary and Chevron have additionally agreed to terms for the early termination of their LNG terminal use agreement in return for a lump sum payment to be made by Chevron this year.
The supply agreements underscore the growing demand for reliable LNG supply beyond 2040 and further support investment in additional LNG capacity beyond the Corpus Christi stage three project, Cheniere Chief Commercial Officer Anatol Feygin said.

Food
The Canteen at the Campfire Hotel is not like other hotel bars.
“They’ve really stepped it up and taken it upon themselves to support the queer community,” said Jamie Nesbitt, cofounder and vice president of OUT Central Oregon.
The trendy cocktail bar, located inside Campfire Hotel and situated just above the hotel’s pool, was concocted by owners of the Dogwood Cocktail Cabin, Doug and Phoebe Pedersen.
The cocktails are similar to those at its sister restaurant, but the food is more casual, with a focus on “toasties” — The Canteen’s version of a panini.
The most popular paninis are the Bahn Moi, a Vietnamese style banh mi sandwich with house smoked pork and pickled carrot, and the Cheese Louise, a twist on the classic grilled-cheese sandwich.
The Cheese Louise was perfectly toasted and had just a touch of sweetness. The additions of truffle cream cheese and arugula elevated the sandwich from the classic kids’ meal to an adult treat.
The cocktail menu at The Canteen is elaborate and inventive. The bar was out of lavender, so I ordered the Thai One On, a cocktail on the rocks with rum, coconut milk, matcha and soda water.
The matcha turned the cocktail a vibrant green and it tasted both creamy and light at the same time. It was decorated with a large basil leaf and a paper straw. The rum makes this cocktail taste like summer, making it the perfect mixed drink to sip poolside.
Service
While the server didn’t regularly check in on me, she was friendly and efficient. She gladly provided recommendations and the food was delivered promptly. When I was ready to leave, I had to grab her attention to get the bill.
Atmosphere
Late afternoon, the vibe at The Canteen was relaxed. Customers ordered drinks to enjoy poolside and others played board games inside the bar.
Thursday through Sunday, The Canteen will be exuberant. The hotel is proudly hosting its own PrideFest with a burlesque show Thursday night, a drag queen pool party and Plug-In-Pride performance by Ashleigh Flynn and The Riveters on Saturday, and a pool party Sunday.
In a press release, Heather Anderson, Campfire Hotel’s director of marketing said, “While we know the world observes June as Pride Month, at Campfire Hotel, You Are Welcome Here year-round.”
“You Are Welcome Here” is a project by OUT Central Oregon inviting businesses to display a sticker with the Progress Pride Flag representing the transgender community, BIPOC and Indigenous communities in addition to the LGBTQ+ community.

SILVER SPRING, Md., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an update on the steps it has taken, and will continue to take, to ensure that American consumers have access to safe and nutritious infant formula in the coming weeks and months.
"The FDA is working night and day to ensure that parents and caregivers can readily find safe and nutritious formula products for any child who needs it," said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. "I have personally spoken with infant formula manufacturers over the past several weeks and all have significantly increased their production efforts, which is resulting in more supply that will be available on stores shelves moving forward."
FDA Flexibilities Have Resulted in Approximately 365 Million Bottles Worth of Infant Formula
In the past month, the FDA has issued enforcement discretion letters for the importation of the infant formula products from six countries, with a total estimated quantity of 17 million cans, or about 365 million full-size, 8-ounce bottles. These products have already started to hit the U.S. market and more will appear on store shelves over the coming weeks and months.
Consumers should have confidence that the infant formula that is being imported to the U.S. through this process involved a thorough review of the information provided by the companies, including details about the product's nutritional adequacy and safety, microbiological testing results, labeling information, and importantly, details about the manufacturing facility's food safety production practices and inspection history.
Agency Continues Regular Inspections of Infant Formula Facilities
The FDA takes its responsibility seriously to ensure the foods we eat are safe and meet our rigorous standards for quality and safety – this is particularly true for infant formula. While the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires the agency to inspect domestic food facilities at least once every 3 to 5 years, the FDA has a policy of annually inspecting infant formula manufacturers because the products serve as the sole source of nutrition for some of our most vulnerable consumers.
This goal of annual surveillance inspections of these facilities has consistently been met over the years with the exception of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA continued to inspect facilities, including infant formula facilities. In fact, we inspected six firms in fiscal year 2020 (Oct. 1, 2019 - Sept. 30, 2020), including several during the height of the pandemic in the summer and fall of 2020. In order to develop a prioritized list of firms to inspect throughout 2021, the FDA evaluated the firms that we did not inspect in 2020 to focus on firms that met certain risk criteria, including a firm's inspection history, hazard signals such as consumer complaints, and other factors.
While the agency postponed certain food surveillance inspections during the pandemic, the FDA resumed its annual surveillance inspection schedule for infant formula facilities beginning in July 2021. In fiscal year 2021 (Oct. 1, 2020 - Sept. 30, 2021), we prioritized inspections of infant formula firms, conducting 16 domestic inspections throughout the year; including Abbott, Mead Johnson, Gerber, and Nestle. Since the start of fiscal year 2022 (Oct. 1, 2021), we have conducted 10 domestic infant formula inspections and one foreign, including Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Gerber.
Importantly, it is a firm's responsibility to ensure the consistent quality and safety of the products they produce. In addition to our oversight work, the FDA stresses the importance of a company's quality systems and culture. Ultimately, when problems are found it is the responsibility of the firm to correct those issues to keep consumers safe.
Latest Update on Certain Specialty, Metabolic Infant Formula Being Released by Abbott on a Case-by-Case Basis
The FDA is continuing to work to ensure infants and individuals with medical conditions who rely on certain specialty, amino acid-based and metabolic infant formula products have access to these life-sustaining products. Some of these products have been available on a case-by-case basis from Abbott Nutrition over the last several months because the risk of not having access to them could significantly worsen underlying medical conditions and in some cases pose life-threatening risks.
To date, this case-by-case release has provided life-sustaining products to more than 2,411 infants and individuals in need, and more than 280,000 containers of additional product remain accessible to those in need. The products are available on a case-by-case basis to patients, hospitals and institutions by calling Abbott Nutrition at 1-800-881-0876.
Abbott Nutrition tested certain product lots that Abbott has held in storage since the FDA's Feb. 17 warning and the company's voluntary recall due to concerns that they were manufactured under insanitary conditions. These products have now undergone enhanced batch testing and the company reports none of the batches tested positive for Cronobacter, a bacterium that can cause severe foodborne illness primarily in infants. The enhanced testing provides further safety assurances to those seeking access to these products.
It's important to note that even with the enhanced batch product testing being completed, the agency continues to recommend that parents and caregivers seeking access to these products first work with their child's medical provider to determine whether comparable products or other changes to feeding practices may be an appropriate substitute.
If comparable, alternative products are not available or appropriate, parents and caregivers using these products should consider following the FDA and CDC's most current advice on how to reduce the possibility of a Cronobacter infection. Because powdered formula is not sterile and can also be contaminated in homes, it is advised to wash hands with soap and water, especially before preparing bottles and feeding. Ensuring all surfaces and feeding items are clean when preparing infant formula will also reduce the potential for possible contamination.
Abbott's Sturgis Facility Update and Prior Inspections at the Facility
Abbott recently announced that recent severe weather and rainfall resulted in flooding in areas of the Sturgis facility on Monday, June 13. While this is an unfortunate setback and a reminder that natural weather events can also cause unforeseen supply chain disruptions, Abbott is working quickly to assess the damage and will be reporting its progress to the agency in the days ahead. We will return to the facility and work closely with Abbott so that the Sturgis facility can restart producing safe and quality formula products as quickly as possible.
Making sure that parents and caregivers have access to both safe and available infant formula remains a top priority for the FDA, and our teams are working night and day to help make that happen.
Separately, given the overwhelming public interest in the FDA's prior inspections of the Sturgis facility, the FDA is also releasing establishment inspection reports for several previous Abbott inspections.
As previously reported, during our 2019 and 2021 inspections, the agency collected and tested samples of finished products. These samples tested negative for pathogens. During these inspections, it was determined the firm had found batches of Cronobacter contaminated finished product and had taken the appropriate action to destroy three batches, two in 2019 and one in 2020, before distribution.
Our most recent inspection in January 2022 was a for cause inspection due to consumer complaints of infant illnesses following consumption of infant formula produced at Abbott's Sturgis facility.
Agency Review of Abbott Infant Formula Consumer Complaints
The work the FDA does to make sure the foods we eat are safe is constant. This work includes ongoing surveillance of every consumer complaint it receives about the products the agency regulates. To date, the FDA has reviewed and investigated a total of 129 complaints associated with Abbott Nutrition formula products. Of these, 119 complaints were reported after Abbott voluntarily recalled product on February 17.
The FDA has previously reported its review of complaints related to nine infant deaths. Only two were associated with the Abbott Nutrition Sturgis plant investigation, and despite extensive investigation the evidence does not rule in or rule out a definitive link between these infant deaths and the product produced at Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis plant.
The agency was notified of one additional consumer complaint on June 10, 2022, that resulted in an infant death in January 2022. The agency has initiated an investigation, given that the complaint referenced that the infant had consumed an Abbott product. However, the investigation of this most recent consumer complaint is in its preliminary stages and the agency will provide an update as it learns more.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The final phase of jury selection in the penalty trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz began Wednesday with prosecutors and defense attorneys asking candidates about their job histories, opinions on law enforcement and racial minorities, whether they own guns and if they could handle viewing gruesome crime scene photos.
The final 83 candidates remaining from about 1,800 who began the three-step process back on April 4 are being brought back to Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer's courtroom in four groups over two days, the first undergoing questioning Wednesday morning.
The 12 men and six women in that group come from diverse backgrounds. An airline pilot. A bank vice president who served in the French military. Grocery store and Walmart workers. A loading dock supervisor, a human resources manager, a special education teacher, a new self-help author, a librarian, computer techs, a longshoreman and retirees. They appeared to range from their 20s through their 60s and at least eight appeared to be racial minorities. About half said they own guns. Some are U.S. military veterans.
Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to murdering 14 students and three staff members at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. After the finalists are questioned, 12 jurors and eight alternates will be selected on Tuesday by the attorneys and judge for the four-month trial that will decide if Cruz is sentenced to death or life in prison without parole. The trial is expected to begin in about two weeks.
While lead prosecutor Mike Satz mostly asked the first group straight-forward questions Wednesday about the panelists' backgrounds, assistant public defender Nawal Bashimam followed with more wide-ranging and open questions, their motivation not always obvious. About half the men raised their hands when Bashimam asked if any panelists play violent video games and most panelists said they have strong animosity toward people who torture animals — both something Cruz did in the years before the shooting.
When Bashimam asked if any panelists believe in the existence of “white privilege” — the assertion that white people in the U.S. have societal advantages over minorities — about half raised their hands, including some of the white ones. The pilot, an Air Force veteran, interjected to strongly disagree, saying this country provides opportunities to all who work for it. The book author, who is Black, agreed with him.
All said they could remain fair toward Cruz even after they see crime scene and autopsy photos and w alk the still blood-stained and bullet-pocked Stoneman Douglas classroom building where the massacre occurred.
Some expressed concern when Bashimam told them their names and the questionnaires they completed as part of the process will eventually become part of the trial's public record, but Scherer stepped in to mollify their anxiety. She said if anyone tries to talk to them during the trial, they should report that to her.
The jury selection process was expected to take only about a month, but turned into a slog because of attorneys' illnesses and controversies.
Those included a threat by Cruz's lead public defender, Melisa McNeill, to withdraw if Scherer proceeded when a member of her team became ill. Scherer resumed the trial the following day, the ailing attorney sitting at the defense table. That resulted in a defense motion that the judge remove herself from the case as biased. Scherer rejected that motion..
Still undecided is a motion by the defense to delay the trial because of the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 21 dead. The defense argues that the shooting has again raised emotions in Broward County and makes it impossible for him to get a fair trial currently.
During Tuesday's final selection, each side can try to convince Scherer that certain candidates are biased and ask her to dismiss them. If she refuses, they will each also have at least 10 peremptory challenges where they can dismiss a potential juror for any reason except race or gender.
When a jury is finally seated, it will have to decide whether the aggravating factors such as Cruz’s multiple victims, his planning, the terror he created and the cruelty he showed outweigh such mitigating circumstances as his long history of mental and emotional problems, his possible sexual abuse and the death of his parents. For Cruz to get death, the jurors must unanimously agree. If one or more vote for life, that will be his sentence. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/School-shooter-s-jury-selection-enters-final-17258469.php | 2022-06-22T19:49:08Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/School-shooter-s-jury-selection-enters-final-17258469.php | false | 18 |
GRAINS-Wheat firms after Russia strikes Ukraine port; soybeans weak; corn mixed
By Mark Weinraub
CHICAGO, June 22 (Reuters) - U.S. wheat futures firmed on Wednesday, rebounding from a sharp decline a day earlier as investors covered short positions following a Russian strike on a port in Ukraine that renewed fears about supply shortages, traders said.
"Wheat was mostly higher today ... after Russia unleashed a missile attack damaging at least two export elevators," brokerage ED&F Man Capital said in a note to clients.
Soybean futures fell for the seventh time in eight sessions, crashing to their lowest level in more than a month as a steep fall in the crude oil market weighed on prices. Corn was mixed, with old-crop contracts rising on short covering while forecasts for good weather for pollination during early July pressured the back-month contracts.
"It is all about the weather at this point," said Greg Grow, director of agribusiness at Archer Financial Services. "We had a weather premium in the market Friday. The market kind of flipped when the weather forecast started to look more favorable."
Chicago Board of Trade July soft red winter wheat futures settled up 3/4 cent at $9.76-1/2.
Wheat traded higher throughout much of the day, with traders noting that the market's 5.9% decline on Tuesday spurred investment funds to unwind some bearish bets, but closed well below its session peak.
Additionally, Russia's strike on Mykolaiv cast doubt on prospects for Ukrainian ports being reopened, just one day after Turkish moves to help negotiate sea passage for Ukrainian grain pushed wheat prices to their lowest level since March 29.
"Everyone keeps talking about shipping corridors but it doesn't add up," a European trader said.
CBOT July corn futures were up 7-1/4 cents at $7.68 a bushel and CBOT December corn was down 7-3/4 cents at $6.93-3/4.
CBOT July soybeans were 28-1/2 cents lower at $16.52-3/4 a bushel, touching their lowest level since May 18.

HOUSTON (AP) — A day after Houston outfielder José Siri called his bat-flip home run celebration against the New York Mets “an error," he seemingly backtracked Wednesday with a profane tweet that was later deleted.
While not addressing the incident directly, Siri's tweet said: “(expletive) bad opinions. have fun.” It was quickly deleted before Wednesday's game.
Houston was up 7-2 in the eighth inning against the Mets on Tuesday when Siri snapped an 0-for-10 slump with a solo homer to the train tracks above left field in Minute Maid Park. He flipped his bat and admired the shot for a several seconds before trotting to first base, a sequence manager Dusty Baker was not happy with.
“He should have ran,” Baker said after the game. “Back in our day, the next guy would have gotten drilled.”
Siri was asked about the incident after the game and seemed contrite.
“I know I made an error there," Siri said Tuesday night through a translator. “I spoke to some of our guys and, yeah, I just made an error."
New York third baseman Eduardo Escobar said something to Siri as he rounded third base after the homer, and catcher Martín Maldonado talked to Escobar for quite a while when Escobar came to bat in the ninth inning.
Siri said he didn't know what Escobar said to him.
“I really couldn’t hear anything," he said. “I was just running."
Mets manager Buck Showalter said some of his players were upset by Siri's actions, but that many of them were unfazed.
“There are certain things that you do talk about — right and wrong — but you don’t want to impose the way you were brought up in the game (on them)," Showalter said. “ (Like) ‘hey, guys, you’re supposed to be mad at that.'"
Showalter added that a player's teammates will often police things like that, but that there's one sure way to prevent it.
“The way you keep it from happening (is) don’t let him hit a ball over the fence, too," Showalter said.

With summer starting, it can be easy to focus on the positives such as warmer weather, trips to the beach, ice-cream and more.
Unfortunately, the joys of summer are also accompanied by a much less exciting realization: mosquitoes are back.
And the bad news is there may be more of them this year.
According to Orkin Canada pest control, mosquitoes may become more pervasive this summer due to a mild winter mixed with stagnant water from excess snow and rain, potentially creating abundant breeding grounds.
The good news is that there are things you can do to protect your home from these unwelcome guests.
Trimming vegetation and eliminating stagnant water in outside areas like pools, fountains and gutters can decrease breeding grounds. Additionally, replacing outdoor bulbs with yellow bulbs can help, as they are less attractive to mosquitoes.
While these pesky creatures can be an annoyance, they can also be dangerous. Mosquito bites can transmit several illnesses, including West Nile virus, malaria and Zika virus.
UBC researcher Dan Peach has spent his career studying the more than 50 mosquito species of B.C.
He is now working on a citizen-led project to learn more about the provinces mosquito populations in the hopes using his findings to determine how they may shift in the coming decades due to climate change.
Research from Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) suggests that Canadians will likely face an increased risk of mosquito-borne diseases in the years ahead thanks to climate change.
More information on how to keep mosquitoes from sucking the fun out of summer can be found at orkincanada.ca.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fanatics founder Michael Rubin is selling his stake in the company that owns the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils.
Rubin, worth an estimated $8 billion according to Forbes, said on social media posts he was “s hifting from part-owner ” of the teams run by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and “back to life-long fan.”
Rubin was part of the ownership group when it purchased the 76ers in 2011 for $290 million. But as Fanatics has grown, and expanded into sports betting, and other business ventures have taken off, Rubin decided it was time to sell his estimated 10% stake in HBSE.
The 76ers were valued at $2.45 billion, according to a Forbes. That was the 11th highest value among the NBA’s 30 teams. The Devils are valued at $775 million, 15th in the 32-team NHL.
“As our Fanatics business have grown, so too have the obstacles I have to navigate to ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers,” Rubin wrote.
Rubin frequently sits courtside at Sixers’ games and rubs elbows with some of the biggest sports starts and celebrities that also attend the games. Rubin is co-chairman of the Reform Alliance, which aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture in the justice system. He worked to free rapper Meek Mill from prison and in 2018 arranged for a helicopter to take Mill from prison to a Sixers’ playoff game.

GRANTS INCLUDE TWO $1 MILLION GIFTS TO CREATE ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS AT HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
- FUNDING OF $37.6M, UP 17%
- RECIPIENTS INCREASE BY 6% TO 609 GRANTEES
- NUMBER OF NEW GRANTEES MORE THAN DOUBLES TO 52
NEW YORK, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shubert Foundation announced today a record $37.6 million in unrestricted grants to not-for-profit theatres, dance companies, academic theatre training programs, and related service agencies. As a leader in funding for the arts the Foundation has also made two $1 million gifts to create endowed scholarships for Theatre students at the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Spelman College and Morehouse College.
"We are delighted to increase both our funding and the number of our grantees this year," said Diana Phillips, President of The Shubert Foundation. "While it has been exciting to see life return to the performing arts, Covid has dealt a terrible blow and there remains enormous need everywhere."
Ms. Phillips continued, "Responding to this need, and committed as we are to broadening access and eliminating barriers, we welcomed smaller budgeted first-time applicants without requiring audited financial statements this past year. I am pleased to announce that 18 of the 50 new grant recipients were added to our roster because of this change."
"The Shubert Foundation has long supported education in the performing arts, both through our relationship with The New York City Public Schools and our Shubert Scholars Program at colleges and universities," said Chairman Robert E. Wankel. "This year, to further expand opportunities for college students of color to gain broad experiences in the performing arts, our Board approved two $1M endowments for scholarships at two HBCUs," added Mr. Wankel.
In acknowledging this $1M gift from The Shubert Foundation, Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D., President of Spelman College said, "Spelman College is honored to receive such a generous endowment gift from The Shubert Foundation in support of the developing theater artistry of women of color. With the College's expansion and renewal of our theaters and performing spaces underway, the support of our promising young students is the perfect complement."
David A. Thomas, Ph.D., Morehouse College President said, "Creativity is the most important talent the world will need in the future. This gift will ensure that men of color are able to use their unique artistic talents to communicate ideas, bridge cultural barriers, problem-solve, and serve as catalysts for motivation, excitement, reflection, and introspection. Leadership in the arts is one of the most critical fulfillments of the Morehouse mission."
The Shubert Foundation is a leader in providing general operating support to professional resident theatre and dance companies that develop and produce new American work. As always, funds are unrestricted, empowering the organizations supported to utilize the funds as they see fit. To ensure support to the widest range of recipients, The Shubert Foundation maintains an open-door policy. The Shubert Foundation is also the largest funder of theatre education for the NYC Public Schools. Additionally, the Shubert Scholars Program provides scholarships for students in university programs in theatre arts.
The Shubert Foundation was established in 1945 by Lee and J.J. Shubert, in memory of their brother Sam. Today, the Foundation is the nation's largest funder of unrestricted aid for not-for-profit theatre and dance companies. Since the establishment of The Shubert Foundation grants program in 1977, more than $575 million has been awarded to not-for-profit arts organizations throughout the United States. For more information, visit https://shubertfoundation.org.
The Foundation also continues to expand the Shubert Archive. Created in 1976, the Archive contains more than a century's worth of production designs, scripts, sheet music, publicity materials, photographs, correspondence, business records and architectural plans. The collection is available to researchers, writers, historians and theatre professionals. For more information, visit https://shubertarchive.org.
Morehouse College is the largest men's college in the United States and the only college with a mission to educate Black men. A private, liberal arts institution founded in 1867, Morehouse is the nation's top producer of Black men who go on to receive doctorates and the top producer of Rhodes Scholars among HBCUs. The home of notable alumni, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, Morehouse has the top-rated core curriculum of any HBCU nationwide, according to the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, and Academic Influence named Morehouse one of the two most influential HBCUs of the 21st century.

Founded in 1881, Spelman College is a leading liberal arts college widely recognized as the global leader in the education of women of African descent. Located in Atlanta, Spelman is the country's leading producer of Black women who complete Ph.Ds in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder launched a "shadow investigation" to ultimately detract from another internal investigation into the team's reported toxic workplace, according to findings by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
In a memo shared by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the committee said that Synder built a "dossier" meant to discredit those who had come forward with allegations of harassment in the Commanders organization.
"In addition to deploying private investigators, Mr. Snyder abused the subpoena power of federal courts to obtain private emails, call logs, and communications in an effort to uncover the sources of the Washington Post's exposés, undermine their credibility, and impugn their motives," the memo said.
Synder's work alongside his team of lawyers was meant to "discredit his accusers in the eyes of the NFL and offer up an alternative target for the investigation."
The initial findings of the committee were released Wednesday ahead of a hearing about the football team's workplace during which NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testified.
Findings from the committee allege that Synder and the Commanders, along with the NFL, worked to make sure that the findings of the investigation led by D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson were not released.
Goodell said in his testimony that the NFL had not received a written copy of Wilkinson's report, but, according to the committee investigation, the league "was briefed on the Wilkinson Investigation's findings 16 times—including at least two personal briefings for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and four briefings submitted in writing."
Those findings have not been made public.
Part of Snyder's efforts to find an alternative person to blame for the culture of the organization can likely be attributed to a desire to conceal his own behavior and impact, the committee said.
Snyder's refusal to take action against a coach who was accused of groping a public relations employee, and the decision to fire two cheerleaders who had engaged in consensual relationships with former tight end Chris Cooley, who did not face any repercussions, were two examples given by former chief operating officer David Pauken that were cited in the report.
But they are far from the only allegations of misconduct that Snyder has faced.
In February, former cheerleader and marketing manager Tiffani Johnston said during a roundtable focused on toxic workplace culture that during a work dinner Snyder had placed his hand on her thigh underneath a table.
Johnston added that later that night, Snyder placed his hand on her lower back and tried to aggressively direct her into his limo before Snyder's attorney intervened. Johnston said that at the time of the incident a senior coworker told her not to report it.
How the organization handles allegations of misconduct came into focus in 2020 after The Washington Post published exposes featuring interviews with former team employees who recounted the inappropriate and toxic environment they were subjected to during their tenure.

The Futureverse Foundation invests in underrepresented artists, creatives, and communities in order to build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces—in both the metaverse and real world.
NEW YORK, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Non-Fungible Labs, a New Zealand-based NFT and blockchain-based technology company and home to FLUF World, a collection of metaverse-ready unique 3D avatars, land, music and games, today announced a meaningful new chapter for their community and creatives globally, the launch of The Futureverse Foundation, a charitable foundation with advisors artist Alexandra Grant and actor Keanu Reeves.
Through their shared value of advancing socio-economic equity and support of artists globally, The Futureverse Foundation is designed to support underrepresented artists and exhibit their work on digital and physical platforms. The Futureverse Foundation will make grants to support diverse and underrepresented artists and nurture their unique artistry on global platforms. The Futureverse Foundation also seeks to help keep the metaverse widely accessible, healthy, and evolving.
In anticipation of the launch of the Futureverse Foundation, Non-Fungible Labs has provided a donation to Nana Oforiatta Ayim, to support her work curating the Ghanaian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2022. Oforiatta Ayim was given 100,000 euros in support of her curatorial concept based on a mobile museum, showcasing the work of Na Chainkua Reindorf, Afroscope and Diego Araúja, in an exhibition designed by architect DK Osseo Asare.
Grantees will be selected via a nomination process, with consideration going to underrepresented artists and creatives. The cooperative mission will also be looking to the FLUF World community to bring causes and organizations for consideration that they're passionate about.
The Futureverse Foundation is set up to give back to the arts community indefinitely, cementing its founders' commitment to creating a better world for artists. Non-Fungible Labs' commitment with The Futureverse Foundation has made the capability for global impact even stronger. For example, since the inception of Non-Fungible Labs' FLUF World in 2021, over two million dollars has been raised for causes such as homelessness and support for Ukraine.
"Funding for the arts is a challenge for every artist and arts non-profit. Dreaming up a new model for arts philanthropy with the Non-Fungible Labs team that can have a lasting impact in both the digital and real realms has been one of the most exciting projects I've worked on, that has already had real impact," says Alexandra Grant. "Our creative future is going to be lived between the real and the digital, and it's our responsibility to include more people in that creative space."
"I am honored to be joining Non-Fungible Labs' efforts in cooperation with Alexandra Grant for the extraordinary program and opportunity of the Futureverse Foundation, in support of artists and creators globally," says Keanu Reeves.
"We feel that AI artists giving back to artists in the physical world is the embodiment of what the metaverse is and where it's going," says Brooke Howard-Smith, co-founder of FLUF World. "It's important to us that we do our charitable part and use our influence to inspire the collective to be generous and kind. Partnering with a renowned philanthropist like Alexandra Grant is the first of many incredible initiatives we hope to embark on to create a better future for artists everywhere."
FLUF World's digital ecosystem, built on the Ethereum blockchain, is beloved by a growing community of collectors and creators. With a mission to create the most open, inclusive creative & sustainable community possible, FLUF World fosters connections with artists, collaborators and FLUF Owners – FLUFs are their genesis collection of 10,000 metaverse ready avatars. Recognized for its rapid growth and innovation, owners also have full derivative rights to their FLUF assets, unlocking a world of creativity, expression and monetization. WIth FLUFs being dynamic NFTs, customisable in the underground, Nonfungible labs has turned NFTs into content distribution channels.

Having spent significant portions of her childhood and adolescence living in Mexico, France, and Spain, some of the basic questions that fuel her practice are: How do the languages we speak and the images we see form how we think and exchange ideas?

Companies building on Stellar can now leverage Nium's global platform for near-instant payouts without pre-funding requirements
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nium, the global platform for modern money movement, and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), a non-profit organization that supports the development and growth of the open-source public blockchain Stellar, today announced a partnership to enable payouts to 190 countries.
Businesses can now facilitate fiat payouts to 190 countries on Stellar, a network purpose-built for fast and efficient payments. Stellar's faster, more convenient approach to cross-border payouts improves upon the traditional correspondent banking system, accelerating the receipt of funds, reducing settlement risk, and removing pre-funding requirements.
"The scale at which Nium is able to offer cross-border payouts around the world is further enhanced by the speed with which we are able to deliver payments for businesses," said Joaquin Auyso, Head of Nium Crypto. "Our approach to modern money movement on Stellar innovates on legacy approaches well past their prime. It showcases both Nium's global reach and real-time payment capabilities to a thriving network of business leaders and innovators."
By launching an API connection that conforms to Stellar interoperability standards, Nium will be able to provide clients on the Stellar network with a suite of payment services that can scale as their global money movement needs evolve and progress. In addition to its ability to send payments anywhere in the world, Nium offers enhanced real-time payment capabilities. With Nium, businesses are not required to build their own payment infrastructure. Instead, they can simply build their brand on top of an existing platform and leverage Nium's regulatory licenses and authorizations in over 40 countries.
This integration is noteworthy for senders of cross-border payments, who can benefit from Nium connecting them to new markets, as well as for Stellar-connected wallets, which can leverage Nium's fiat on/off ramps to expand into new countries. Nium's integration with the Stellar network will allow companies to facilitate near-instant payouts without having to prefund their local treasuries.
"This integration truly drives home the value that blockchain-powered cross-border payment solutions bring to the current financial system," said Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation. "At SDF, we are always working to fill up the map and connect the network to more of the globe. Together with Nium, we are thrilled to expand the reach of the Stellar network so significantly."
Nium is the global platform for modern money movement. It provides banks, payment providers, and businesses of any size with access to global payment and card issuance solutions. Its modular platform powers frictionless commerce, helping businesses pay and get paid across the globe. Once connected to the Nium platform, businesses are able to pay out in more than 100 currencies to over 190 countries – 100 of which in real time. Funds can be received in 35 markets, including Southeast Asia, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, India, and the US. Nium's growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries, including Europe (SEPA), the UK, Australia and Singapore.

Surfer hospitalised after shark attack on Northern California coast
Surfer taken to hospital with injuries to stomach and leg
A surfer was hospitalised after a shark attack on Wednesday off the Northern California coast.
Someone on shore at Lover’s Point Beach in the town of Pacific Grove saw what appeared to be a struggle in the water and called 911, according to witnesses.
Emergency responders arrived at 10.47am and pulled the surfer, who was still conscious, out of the water, according to the Monterey Herald.
The man was later taken to the hospital with injuries to the leg and stomach, Pacific Grove city councilman Joe Amelia told KSBW.
“They got to him quickly,” a local fire official told the Carmel Pine Cone.
Officials have shut down the beach for the time being, roping off entrances with caution tape and signs warning about sharks.
The beach will be closed for 48 hours, according to California State Parks protocol.
People could see the shark from the beach, Pacific Grove resident Rhonda Navarro told KION.
The Independent has reached out to the Pacific Grove Police Department for more information.

SILVER SPRING, Md., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an update on the steps it has taken, and will continue to take, to ensure that American consumers have access to safe and nutritious infant formula in the coming weeks and months.
"The FDA is working night and day to ensure that parents and caregivers can readily find safe and nutritious formula products for any child who needs it," said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. "I have personally spoken with infant formula manufacturers over the past several weeks and all have significantly increased their production efforts, which is resulting in more supply that will be available on stores shelves moving forward."
FDA Flexibilities Have Resulted in Approximately 365 Million Bottles Worth of Infant Formula
In the past month, the FDA has issued enforcement discretion letters for the importation of the infant formula products from six countries, with a total estimated quantity of 17 million cans, or about 365 million full-size, 8-ounce bottles. These products have already started to hit the U.S. market and more will appear on store shelves over the coming weeks and months.
Consumers should have confidence that the infant formula that is being imported to the U.S. through this process involved a thorough review of the information provided by the companies, including details about the product's nutritional adequacy and safety, microbiological testing results, labeling information, and importantly, details about the manufacturing facility's food safety production practices and inspection history.
Agency Continues Regular Inspections of Infant Formula Facilities
The FDA takes its responsibility seriously to ensure the foods we eat are safe and meet our rigorous standards for quality and safety – this is particularly true for infant formula. While the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires the agency to inspect domestic food facilities at least once every 3 to 5 years, the FDA has a policy of annually inspecting infant formula manufacturers because the products serve as the sole source of nutrition for some of our most vulnerable consumers.
This goal of annual surveillance inspections of these facilities has consistently been met over the years with the exception of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA continued to inspect facilities, including infant formula facilities. In fact, we inspected six firms in fiscal year 2020 (Oct. 1, 2019 - Sept. 30, 2020), including several during the height of the pandemic in the summer and fall of 2020. In order to develop a prioritized list of firms to inspect throughout 2021, the FDA evaluated the firms that we did not inspect in 2020 to focus on firms that met certain risk criteria, including a firm's inspection history, hazard signals such as consumer complaints, and other factors.
While the agency postponed certain food surveillance inspections during the pandemic, the FDA resumed its annual surveillance inspection schedule for infant formula facilities beginning in July 2021. In fiscal year 2021 (Oct. 1, 2020 - Sept. 30, 2021), we prioritized inspections of infant formula firms, conducting 16 domestic inspections throughout the year; including Abbott, Mead Johnson, Gerber, and Nestle. Since the start of fiscal year 2022 (Oct. 1, 2021), we have conducted 10 domestic infant formula inspections and one foreign, including Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Gerber.
Importantly, it is a firm's responsibility to ensure the consistent quality and safety of the products they produce. In addition to our oversight work, the FDA stresses the importance of a company's quality systems and culture. Ultimately, when problems are found it is the responsibility of the firm to correct those issues to keep consumers safe.
Latest Update on Certain Specialty, Metabolic Infant Formula Being Released by Abbott on a Case-by-Case Basis
The FDA is continuing to work to ensure infants and individuals with medical conditions who rely on certain specialty, amino acid-based and metabolic infant formula products have access to these life-sustaining products. Some of these products have been available on a case-by-case basis from Abbott Nutrition over the last several months because the risk of not having access to them could significantly worsen underlying medical conditions and in some cases pose life-threatening risks.
To date, this case-by-case release has provided life-sustaining products to more than 2,411 infants and individuals in need, and more than 280,000 containers of additional product remain accessible to those in need. The products are available on a case-by-case basis to patients, hospitals and institutions by calling Abbott Nutrition at 1-800-881-0876.
Abbott Nutrition tested certain product lots that Abbott has held in storage since the FDA's Feb. 17 warning and the company's voluntary recall due to concerns that they were manufactured under insanitary conditions. These products have now undergone enhanced batch testing and the company reports none of the batches tested positive for Cronobacter, a bacterium that can cause severe foodborne illness primarily in infants. The enhanced testing provides further safety assurances to those seeking access to these products.
It's important to note that even with the enhanced batch product testing being completed, the agency continues to recommend that parents and caregivers seeking access to these products first work with their child's medical provider to determine whether comparable products or other changes to feeding practices may be an appropriate substitute.
If comparable, alternative products are not available or appropriate, parents and caregivers using these products should consider following the FDA and CDC's most current advice on how to reduce the possibility of a Cronobacter infection. Because powdered formula is not sterile and can also be contaminated in homes, it is advised to wash hands with soap and water, especially before preparing bottles and feeding. Ensuring all surfaces and feeding items are clean when preparing infant formula will also reduce the potential for possible contamination.
Abbott's Sturgis Facility Update and Prior Inspections at the Facility
Abbott recently announced that recent severe weather and rainfall resulted in flooding in areas of the Sturgis facility on Monday, June 13. While this is an unfortunate setback and a reminder that natural weather events can also cause unforeseen supply chain disruptions, Abbott is working quickly to assess the damage and will be reporting its progress to the agency in the days ahead. We will return to the facility and work closely with Abbott so that the Sturgis facility can restart producing safe and quality formula products as quickly as possible.
Making sure that parents and caregivers have access to both safe and available infant formula remains a top priority for the FDA, and our teams are working night and day to help make that happen.
Separately, given the overwhelming public interest in the FDA's prior inspections of the Sturgis facility, the FDA is also releasing establishment inspection reports for several previous Abbott inspections.
As previously reported, during our 2019 and 2021 inspections, the agency collected and tested samples of finished products. These samples tested negative for pathogens. During these inspections, it was determined the firm had found batches of Cronobacter contaminated finished product and had taken the appropriate action to destroy three batches, two in 2019 and one in 2020, before distribution.
Our most recent inspection in January 2022 was a for cause inspection due to consumer complaints of infant illnesses following consumption of infant formula produced at Abbott's Sturgis facility.
Agency Review of Abbott Infant Formula Consumer Complaints
The work the FDA does to make sure the foods we eat are safe is constant. This work includes ongoing surveillance of every consumer complaint it receives about the products the agency regulates. To date, the FDA has reviewed and investigated a total of 129 complaints associated with Abbott Nutrition formula products. Of these, 119 complaints were reported after Abbott voluntarily recalled product on February 17.
The FDA has previously reported its review of complaints related to nine infant deaths. Only two were associated with the Abbott Nutrition Sturgis plant investigation, and despite extensive investigation the evidence does not rule in or rule out a definitive link between these infant deaths and the product produced at Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis plant.
The agency was notified of one additional consumer complaint on June 10, 2022, that resulted in an infant death in January 2022. The agency has initiated an investigation, given that the complaint referenced that the infant had consumed an Abbott product. However, the investigation of this most recent consumer complaint is in its preliminary stages and the agency will provide an update as it learns more.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Tara Sweeney's campaign does not plan to sue over a finding released by Alaska elections officials that Sweeney cannot advance to the special election for U.S. House following the withdrawal of another candidate, Sweeney's campaign manager said Wednesday.
“We made the decision that this is not a candidate fight,” Sweeney campaign manager Karina Waller said in an interview. “This is on the ranked choice voting procedures that the voters approved, and ... this is not our fight.”
Independent Al Gross placed third in the June 11 special primary, behind two Republicans — former Gov. Sarah Palin and businessman Nick Begich — and ahead of Democrat Mary Peltola, a former state lawmaker. Gross, an orthopedic surgeon, was positioned to advance to the August special election as one of the top four vote-getters under a new open primary system. But late Monday, he suddenly announced plans to end his campaign.
Sweeney finished fifth in the vote count, completed Tuesday. State elections officials aim to certify the results by Saturday.
Gail Fenumiai, director of the Division of Elections, cited the timing of Gross' withdrawal in saying that state law does not permit the fifth-place candidate to advance to the special election. Gross withdrew Tuesday, and because the withdrawal occurred less than 64 days before the election, the law does not allow the division to put the fifth-place finisher from the special primary on the special election ballot in his place, she said.
Fenumiai said the division would remove Gross' name from the special election ballot.
She outlined the division's position in a letter to an attorney for Begich's campaign, which had sought clarification on the process.
Fenumiai said anyone who disagrees with the decisions should sue immediately. She said the division needs a final determination from the courts by Tuesday to print ballots and keep the special election on track.
Kim Reitmeier, president of ANCSA Regional Association, which represents leaders of regional Alaska Native corporations, released a statement Wednesday on behalf of the third-party group the association set up to support Sweeney's candidacy.
“At present we are reviewing this dynamic situation, but at this time we have no plans to sue the Division of Elections," she said.
Sweeney served as an assistant secretary of Indian Affairs in the U.S. Interior Department during the Trump administration. She also was previously an executive with Arctic Slope Regional Corp.
Begich's campaign manager, Truman Reed, in a statement said the law “must be strictly adhered to” and that Begich campaign agrees with the Division of Election's determination.
The Palin and Peltola campaigns did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
This was the first election under a system approved by Alaska voters that ends party primaries and institutes ranked voting for general elections.
The special election will feature ranked voting and determine who will serve out the late Republican Rep. Don Young's term. Young, who held the seat for 49 years, died in March.
The August regular primary and November general election will determine who will serve a new, two-year term, starting in January.
Waller said the Sweeney campaign has not made a final decision on whether to pursue a run in the regular primary.
The withdrawal deadline for that primary is Saturday. Several candidates have dropped out, including Gross and Republicans John Coghill and Josh Revak. Democrat Christopher Constant's campaign last week said he intended to withdraw. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Sweeney-does-not-plan-suit-over-Alaska-House-17258666.php | 2022-06-22T20:24:13Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Sweeney-does-not-plan-suit-over-Alaska-House-17258666.php | true | 22 |
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan issued instructions to the government departments to reduce the number of web portals to ensure that citizens don’t face problems.
Chouhan said, “Citizens have to use different portals for different services. All portals have different complexities. This adds to the problems of the citizens.”
He said departments should work towards reducing the number of portals. Portals of the same nature should be integrated keeping in view the convenience of citizens. Work towards creating a unified portal for various services by setting timelines should be done.
CM was addressing a meeting related to Citizen Service Delivery Portal at his residence office.

'Liverpool’s number one fan forever' - Mane promises eternal love despite €41m Bayern Munich transfer
Sadio Mane has proclaimed himself Liverpool's "number one fan forever" after sealing his transfer to Bayern Munich this week.
The forward has made a €41 million (£35m/$43m) switch to the Bundesliga champions, bringing down the curtain on a glittering six-year stay with Jurgen Klopp's Premier League heavyweights.
Mane leaves Anfield as one of the club's most celebrated overseas recruits - and even though he will no longer be among the Reds, the Senegal international insists they will remain close in his heart, with his plan to support them now he has departed.
Editors' Picks
What has Mane said about supporting Liverpool?
"After every one of my games in Munich, I will come to the dressing room and I will watch Liverpool, for sure, because I am going to be Liverpool’s number one fan forever," Mane told the club's website in his farewell message.
"I just want to say good luck to them and I have an eye on them. For sure, they will be even better because I know the boys: great players, great talent, great maturity and attitude, so of course, Liverpool will always stay even better, for sure.
"I still have my house in Liverpool and everything so for sure I will come back, of course, and I would love one day to come back to Anfield to say hi, and to watch Liverpool playing because for me, I am going to be Liverpool’s number one fan – after the supporters!"
What has Mane said about his fellow attackers?
Elsewhere, Mane paid tribute to fellow forwards Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, alongside whom he helped fire Liverpool to major success at home and abroad, including Premier League, Champions League and Club World Cup honours - and added that the Reds will still thrive even with his departure.
"Bobby and Mo – what players!" he added. "Playing alongside these great players, they make everything easier for me. I think I am just supporting this and especially Bobby, who always dropped and made space for me and Mo, I think it was just incredible.
"Liverpool still have great players and you have now Diogo [Jota] and [Luis] Diaz. It’s normal, it’s the best club in the world, so I wish them all the best, but for me football is always about dedication and to work very, very hard. That’s what I trust and those players did it and are doing it, so I think it will work always well for them." | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/mane-liverpool-number-one-fan-bayern-munich-transfer/blte14ffe9f9ff328e0 | 2022-06-22T20:25:07Z | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/mane-liverpool-number-one-fan-bayern-munich-transfer/blte14ffe9f9ff328e0 | true | 13 |

Some people think about sun safety only when they spend a day at the lake, beach, or pool. But sun exposure adds up every time you are in the sun. Children need special care. They tend to spend more time outdoors. They can burn easier, and may not know about the dangers too much sun can cause.
We all need some sunshine. It's our main source of vitamin D, which helps us take in calcium for stronger, healthier bones. But it doesn't take much time in the sun for most people to get the vitamin D they need. Repeated, unprotected time under the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause skin damage, eye damage, skin cancer, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other heat related illnesses.
The summer sun is hot! It’s important to always practice sun safety but especially when experiencing a heat wave. Heat related illnesses are preventable.
Follow these tips to stay safe in the summer sun!
• Avoid staying out in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Seek shade!

• If you must work in direct sunlight, take regular breaks in the shade.
• Limit strenuous activity, especially during the hottest part of the day.
• Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water.
• Dress for the conditions! Cover up with clothes that protect you. Guard as much skin as possible when you are out in the sun. Wear loose, lightweight, and light colored clothing.
• Use sunscreen and lip balm!
o Choose a product that covers all types of the sun’s rays (UVA, UVB) and a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
o Put on a good amount of sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outdoors.
o Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, toweling dry, or sweating.
o Sunscreen doesn’t protect from all UV rays. Don’t use sunscreen as a way to stay out in the sun too long.
• Cover your head with a wide-brimmed hat. Be sure it shades your face, ears, and neck. If you wear a baseball cap, remember to protect your ears and neck with sunscreen.
• Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB absorption for the best protection for the eyes and the nearby skin.
• NEVER leave children or pets in a vehicle- even in the shade or for a short time.
• Check up on those most vulnerable- children, elderly, the sick, and those without air conditioning.
• Follow these habits even on cloudy or overcast days. UV rays can travel through clouds.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian official overseeing the country’s push to join the European Union said Wednesday that she’s “100%” certain all 27 EU nations will approve Ukraine’s EU candidacy during a summit this week.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed similar optimism, calling it a “crucial moment” for Ukraine. Ukraine’s membership bid is the top order of business for EU leaders meeting in Brussels.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna said the decision could come as soon as Thursday, when the leaders’ summit starts.
Stefanishyna said the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark had been skeptical about starting accession talks with Ukraine while it is fighting Russia’s invasion but are now supportive. Asked how confident she was that Ukraine would be accepted as an EU candidate, she said: “The day before the summit starts, I can say 100%.”
The EU’s executive arm threw its weight behind Ukraine’s candidacy last week. Stefanishyna described the European Commission’s endorsement as “a game-changer” that had taken the ground out from under “the legs of those most hesitating.”
EU candidate status, which can be granted only if the existing member countries agree unanimously, is the first step toward membership. It does not provide any security guarantees or an automatic right to join the bloc.
Ukraine’s full membership will depend on whether the war-torn country can satisfy political and economic conditions. Potential newcomers need to demonstrate that they meet standards on democratic principles and must absorb 80,000 pages of rules covering everything from trade and immigration to fertilizers and the rule of law.
Stefanishyna told the AP that she think Ukraine could be an EU member within years, not the decades that some European officials have forecast.
“We’re already very much integrated in the European Union,” she said. “We want to be a strong and competitive member state, so it may take from two to 10 years.”
To help candidates, the bloc can provide technical and financial assistance. European officials have said that Ukraine has already implemented about 70% of the EU rules, norms and standards, but have also pointed to corruption and the need for deep political and economic reforms.
In a virtual talk to Canadian university students on Wednesday, Zelenskyy described the Brussels summit as “two decisive days” that he, like Stefanishyna, thinks will result in approval of Ukraine’s EU candidacy.
“That is a very crucial moment for us, for some people in my team are saying this is like going into the light from the darkness,” the Ukrainian president said. “In terms of our army and society, this is a big motivator, a big motivational factor for the unity and victory of the Ukrainian people.”
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said he spoke with Zelenskyy on Wednesday and guaranteed him that Belgium would support Ukraine’s candidate status.
“Considerable efforts will be needed, especially in the fight against corruption and the establishment of an effective rule of law,” De Cross said. “But I am convinced that it is precisely the (post-war) reconstruction of Ukraine that will provide opportunities to take important steps forward.”
In other developments:
— Press freedom group Reporters Without Borders said a Ukrainian photojournalist and a soldier accompanying him appear to have been “coldly executed” during the first weeks of the war as they searched in Russian-occupied woods for a missing camera drone. The group sent investigators to the woods north of the capital, Kyiv, where the bodies of Maks Levin and serviceman Oleksiy Chernyshov were found April 1. The group said its team counted 14 bullet holes in the burned hulk of their car and found litter seemingly left by Russian soldiers.
— Russian forces have captured three villages in the heavily contested eastern region of Ukraine, a local official said. Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the villages are near Lysychansk, the last city in his province still fully under Ukrainian control. The Russians have also taken a strategic coal village, Toshkivka, enabling them to intensify attacks, Haidai said.
— The Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday that Russian forces killed up to 500 Ukrainian servicemen in strikes Tuesday against a shipbuilding plant in Mykolaiv. The ministry also said Ukrainian forces evacuated up to 30 wounded and eight dead American and British fighters from near Mykolaivka, a town in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian officials have not confirmed those claims; instead, they reported more Russian shelling of Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv. Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzianyk said in some battles, for every artillery shell Ukrainian forces fire, the Russian army fires at least six.
— Satellite images of Snake Island appear to show damage from a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-occupied island in the Black Sea. The Maxar Technologies images taken Tuesday show three new scorched areas that were not there four days earlier. Russia and Ukraine offer conflicting accounts of the attack. The Ukrainian military’s southern command said it inflicted “significant losses” on Russian troops in an attack using “various forces and methods of destruction,” while the Russian Defense Ministry said its air defenses successfully repelled the Ukrainian assault. Russian forces captured the small rocky island in the first days of the war and have used it to strengthen their control over the northwestern part of the sea.
— Russian officials said a drone strike caused a fire at an oil refinery in southwestern Russia on Wednesday. The blaze engulfed a piece of machinery at the Novoshakhtinsk plant in the Rostov-on-Don region. Authorities said dozens of firefighters quickly contained the fire and no one was hurt. Ukrainian authorities have not confirmed the strike.
— Turkey’s defense ministry said Wednesday that a Turkish ship was allowed to leave the Russian-occupied Azov Sea port of Mariupol following talks between Turkish and Russian defense ministry officials. A ministry statement said a Turkish freighter, Azov Concord, was the first foreign ship to be allowed to leave Mariupol. The ministry did not say what the freighter was carrying. The war has halted critical grain exports by sea. Turkish and Russian military delegations met in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss a possible deal for the shipment of Ukraine’s grain through the Black Sea.
— French armed forces conducted a surprise military exercise in Estonia, deploying more than 100 paratroopers in the Baltic country that neighbors Russia, the French defense ministry said Wednesday. The airborne operation, dubbed “Thunder Lynx,” enabled, at short notice, the dropping of about 100 French paratroopers “over an area secured by Estonian soldiers,” the statement said. The exercise in Estonia, a NATO member, was executed as an act of “strategic solidarity” during Russia’s war in Ukraine.

While Shiv Sena workers have made a name for themselves in implementing the will of their political bosses on the streets of Mumbai, the current crisis initiated by Eknath Shinde has caught many of the party’s street enforcers off guard, as they face off against their own partymen.
One such instance took place on Tuesday night after reports that Minister of Water Supply and Sanitation Gulabrao Patil – who was not part of the initial groups of MLAs who went along with Shinde to Surat – had gone missing.
A Sena leader called his workers from south Mumbai with instructions from the top brass that Patil be traced at all cost.
The south Mumbai-based Sainiks, led by Shakha Pramukh Pandurang Sakpal, got on the job and launched a massive search through the night but were able to trace Patil only on Wednesday morning outside his residence in Nariman Point outside Mantralaya.

“We got a call at 11 pm and were told to look for Patil. We looked for him everywhere possible, including the St Regis hotel in Lower Parel, but as we could not find him, we decided to camp near his official residence in the morning. We managed to get hold of him around 8.30 am on Wednesday,” said a party worker.
As soon as Sakpal saw the Jalgaon MLA, he asked him to call Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who has been trying to get in touch with the minister since Tuesday evening.
Sources in the party said that Patil misguided the Sena workers, claiming that he had spoken to their chief. “We were told that he has some work in Mantralaya and will go to Varsha bungalow to meet the CM after that,” said a source.
However, Patil went inside Mantralaya instead of heading to Varsha, escaped in a private vehicle. A source said, “His official vehicle is still inside Mantralaya and he escaped while we were waiting for him outside the Secretariat.”
“Patil headed towards Chembur via the Eastern Express Highway… Our Sainiks also followed him but he vanished,” said a party worker.
A source added, “He disappeared from Chembur… We believe prior arrangements had been made near Chembur from where he was taken to the airport.”
Patil was later seen with other rebel Sena MLAs in Guwahati. When contacted, Sakpal said, “Patil told me that he is coming with us but he had made up his mind, so he kept us in the dark and escaped.”
The Shiv Sena, meanwhile, has asked local shakha pramukhs and prominent party leaders in Mumbai to keep an eye on all the MLAs who are still in Mumbai. This has, however, created a sense of discomfort among many of these MLAs. One MLA, who is at present in the Thackeray camp, told The Indian Express that he was being harassed by the Sainiks.

Calgary Police today are asking people to come forward with details regarding Tara Niptanatiak’s death. The 35-year-0ld Cambridge Bay mother of four was found inside a waste container in the city’s Ramsay neighbourhood on February 25, 2022. An autopsy found her death was not suspicious, but “however, the circumstances surrounding how she ended up in the container remain under investigation”, the Calgary Police added in a social media post.
A review of CCTV footage found Niptanatiak did not enter the alley “under her own abilities and may have been placed there”.
“Her death is not believed to be suspicious, but we know there are people out there who know what happened to Tara and we want to speak with them,” said Martin Schiavetta, Calgary Police Homicide Unit Staff Sergeant.
At the time of death, she had short, dark hair, was wearing dark clothing with a North Face winter jacket and had a red sleeping bag in her possession.
Anyone with any information about this incident are asked to contact police at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
“Tara was the kind of person that helped those in need before helping herself, she was one of a kind. She loved life, and those who knew her knew that to be true,” said Rolonda Niptanatiak, Tara’s sister.
“She was the most beautiful person, not just the way she looked but her heart. She was so kind and full of life.” | https://www.nnsl.com/news/tara-niptanatiaks-body-placed-inside-waste-container-but-death-still-not-suspicous-calgary-police/ | 2022-06-22T20:41:15Z | https://www.nnsl.com/news/tara-niptanatiaks-body-placed-inside-waste-container-but-death-still-not-suspicous-calgary-police/ | false | 1 |
CHICAGO -- Ida Nelson is doing more than just scooping up delicious treats, she's also using her business to change and shape her community.
Trying to find activities to keep her kids entertained during the pandemic, Ida turned to making ice cream. But she didn't want to just make vanilla and chocolate. Looking in her cabinets, she found blueberries, lemons, cream cheese and graham crackers and blended them together to make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream!
Her flavor combos only exploded from there as she built Ida's Artisan Ice Cream & Treats.
Banana Pudding, Mango Tajin, Strawberry Sublime (which has cilantro in it!), Brownie Batter and the colorful Unicorn Magic are just some of her unique flavors. And her use of few and fresh ingredients per recipe means she's creating quality "artisan" treats.

Look Around

After my water aerobics class this morning I realized I didn’t have much at home for a quick lunch so I stopped by the store. My hair was still a little wet on the ends, but I was just planning to scoot in and out.
I quickly picked up a few items and went through the checkout. I had to do a double take when I saw the price! As I left the store I randomly spoke to the shopper next to me.
“Wow! These prices are crazy. I don’t know what people with families to feed are doing.”
The well-dressed attractive lady I had spoken to replied, “My niece has really been struggling so our families are going to move in together and share expenses.”
When I spoke to her I had no idea that her family was suffering. But most of us on occasion have had to watch our pennies fairly closely. I can imagine starting out with a young family only to watch the prices of nearly everything going through the roof.
I don’t think it’s the government’s job to feed and clothe the populace. Actually, in my humble opinion, I think that is part of the problem we are facing now.
There are help wanted signs almost everywhere I look. I make no apology for thinking the best way for a person to get ahead is by working hard, but I do think that it is our job as individuals and churches to help people when times are hard.
It was never intended for the government to take on the role of the church. But it is definitely our role as Christians to meet needs when and where we can. In times like these I think we should all keep our eyes open to the plight of people around us and step up to help.
Maybe we can only give a little or do a little for someone else, but a little help can be the difference in hope or despair to someone in a bad situation. I remember years ago I was at a teacher’s conference and the speaker told a little story to make her point. It went something like this:
An old man was walking down the beach after a huge storm had blown in thousands of starfish. He spotted a young boy in the distance who stopped his walk every few steps to throw something into the sea.
The old man called out, “Hello there young man. Do you mind if I ask what you are doing?”
“I’m throwing starfish into the water. They are stranded here on the sand and will die in the hot sun.”
The old man answered, “There are so many starfish. There is no way you can help them all. How could you possibly make a difference?”
The young boy bent down to throw another starfish into the ocean. Then he smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”

A child rapist described as "cold and calculating" by a judge had his sentence slashed by the Court of Appeal.
Brandon Mullin, now 20, was sent to a young offenders institution for 13 years with an additional three years on licence at Liverpool Crown Court in November, 2021.
However his legal team launched an appeal on the grounds the sentence was unduly harsh, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Lawyers for Mullin argued the boy's own traumatic upbringing and immaturity had not been reflected in the sentence and three years have been knocked from the period of detention.
The judge who passed the original sentence, Garrett Byrne, said the victims of Mullin's abuse had been subjected to the "worst neglect he had ever seen" at the hands of their mum.
Judge Byrne said the two children and their other brothers and sisters grew up in a chaotic and filthy environment without adequate food and clothing, basic hygiene, medical care, any toys or love.
The mum of the victims, who cannot be named to protect the identities of her children, was jailed for 12 years after admitting five counts of child neglect and an additional charge of possessing drugs with intent to supply. All the children have since been taken into care.
The court heard her complete lack of parental oversight meant Mullin, formerly of Kensington, was able to prey on two of the children while still a child himself.
He subjected them to horrendous sexual abuse, including the rape of the boy, and was convicted of 10 sexual offences against them.
During the original sentencing Judge Byrne described Mullin as a "cold and calculated individual" who had no regard for the impact of his actions on his victims and had displayed no remorse for his "wicked deeds".
He said: "The harm you have caused these children is incalculable. You have caused them physical, emotional and developmental harm. The harm will last the rest of their lives."
However lawyers for Mullin argued to the Court of Appeal that the boy's own traumatic upbringing and immaturity had not been reflected in the sentence handed down in Liverpool.
Presiding judge Mrs Justice McGowan allowed the appeal, knocking three years from the period of detention.
She said: "The offending in this case was appalling. The consequence to the victims is severe and long-lasting, but we bear in mind very much, as the learned judge did, that this offending was committed by a child who had been brought up in extremely difficult circumstances, who was thought to lack the maturity even of another 13, 14 or 15-year-old.
"We take account, as the learned judge did, of all those circumstances that led the judge to conclude the appellant was dangerous and we agree with that finding. The learned judge did bear in mind the appellant’s age at the time of the offending and his relative young age at the time of sentencing.
"But we accept the submission that the adjustment made for the lack of maturity at the time of the offending and the relatively young age at the time of sentence were not fully reflected in the terms imposed."
The appeal court agreed with Judge Byrne that Mullin was a "dangerous" offender as defined in sentencing law.
This means he will only be eligible for early release after a minimum of two thirds of the period of detention, and then only if a Parole Board deem him a low enough risk to the public.
Mullin was re-sentenced to 10 years detention and an additional four years on licence. He is also subject to a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.
At the sentencing of the victims' mum in October last year, Judge Byrne said while the she didn't "participate" in the abuse, her neglect "led" to it. He told her: "You were rarely there, choosing instead to prioritise your own needs over those of the children."
He added that her neglect meant Mullin "was afforded the opportunity of sexually abusing them ". The judge said: "If your basis of plea is you had no responsibility for that, then I reject it.
"I accept you didn't know about the abuse. But if you exercised greater control... that abuse may not have occurred."
David Polglase, who prosecuted both the mum and Mullin, said agencies and professionals had tried to support her.
However, he said a family support worker noted she was "clever" in "giving out the right signals but then not complying", while the judge observed she would "pay lip service but fail to follow through with action".
The court heard a turning point came when one of her children, a little boy, was found " wandering the street, barefoot, with no coat, in cold weather, in wet clothes and with a wet nappy".
Judge Byrne said the only positive to emerge from the case was that the children were now being looked after by loving, caring foster parents. | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cold-calculating-child-rapist-sentence-27305303 | 2022-06-22T20:51:31Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cold-calculating-child-rapist-sentence-27305303 | false | 2 |
DALLAS — In baseball's 100-plus-year history, there have been pitchers with more wins, less strikeouts and lower earned run averages than Nolan Ryan.
But Ryan had an edge on everyone else in one very important category: Fear.
The Texas flamethrower was notorious for being "effectively wild," brushing batters off the plate with 100 mph heat. His imposing stature and rocket arm made him a Texas legend.
And he had the track record to back it up: Three-hundred and twenty-four wins, seven no-hitters, a 3.19 career ERA and an all-time best 5,714 strikeouts.
Now, he's on the big screen.
The "Facing Nolan" documentary, which premiered at Globe Life Field earlier this year, will hit hundreds of theaters across the country on Thursday. Here's the full list of viewing locations.
“When I watch the film, I really kind of reflect back on how long 27 years is,” said Ryan, now 75, of his career. “It almost made me tired, and the commitment that I had to make to compete for that long. But I took a lot of pride in being in shape and being able to compete with people that were half my age.”
Ahead of Ryan's big-screen debut, here are five accomplishments and moments that made him a legend:
7 no-hitters
The first of several "we likely won't see that again" takeaways from Ryan's career begins and ends with his no-hitters. All seven of them.
Only Dodgers legend Sandy Koufax comes close to this mark, with four no-nos, and the next best is Justin Verlander, who has three.
Ryan tossed his first no-hitter with the California Angels in May 1973, and added another two months later. He threw two more no-nos with the Angels, in 1974 and 1975; one with the Astros in 1981; and two with the Rangers, in 1990 and 1991.
His final no-hitter came against the Blue Jays at Arlington Stadium on May 1, 1991, when he struck out 16 batters. He was 44.
5,714 strikeouts
This is the one that won't be topped, not even in the current strikeout-happy era.
Ryan sits comfortably atop the all-time strikeout rankings, more than 800 ahead of Randy Johnson. The active strikeout leader, Justin Verlander, has 3,094.
Ryan's swing-and-miss prowess was a combination of his overpowering fastball, his longevity in the game and his durability, which we'll get to in a second. For context, last year's strikeout leader, Robbie Ray, notched 248. Ryan hit 300 strikeouts six times in his career
235 pitches in one game
Plain and simple: This will never happen again.
Today a pitcher surpassing 100 pitches is more rare than ever. On June 14, 1974, Ryan doubled that number, and then some.
In a matchup against the Red Sox, he threw 13 innings of three-run ball, totaling 235 pitches. And he struck out 19 batters along the way, then a single-game record.
“In those days," Ryan later told the Los Angeles Times, "I was my own closer."
From 19 to 46
Those are the ages Ryan's career spanned, from a teenager making his debut with the Mets in 1966 to his final run with the Rangers in the early 1990s.
A few of the early 20th Century hurlers pitched more innings than Ryan. But in the modern era, only Phil Niekro had more, throwing 5,404 to Ryan's 5,386. And no one's career lasted more seasons than Ryan's 27.
Beating up Robin Ventura
C'mon now. We couldn't leave a list of Ryan moments without including THE moment.
That's not to overshadow Ryan's pitching But one of the iconic images of his career wasn't a pitch.
Intentional or not, Ryan had plunked White Sox hitter Robin Ventura in the back. Ventura responded by charging the mound.
Almost instantly, Ryan, 46, put the 26-year-old third baseman in a headlock and started throwing punches, and a bench-clearing brawl ensued.
The end result was that iconic image of Ryan, his lip and jersey bloodied, staring in for another pitch.
He ended up throwing seven innings of one-run ball. He'd take the mound six more times before retiring. | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/sports/mlb/facing-nolan-ryan-documentary-theaters-tickets-5-things-that-made-nolan-ryan-a-texas-legend-ahead-of-his-big-screen-debut/287-247c47b0-dd29-4cc1-be5a-a68f5cbd0680 | 2022-06-22T20:51:55Z | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/sports/mlb/facing-nolan-ryan-documentary-theaters-tickets-5-things-that-made-nolan-ryan-a-texas-legend-ahead-of-his-big-screen-debut/287-247c47b0-dd29-4cc1-be5a-a68f5cbd0680 | true | 2 |

Family Aguero shares Surfside survival story a year after condo collapse
MIAMI - A couple is sharing their survival story nearly one year after the Surfside building collapse.
Janette and Albert Aguero narrowly escaped Champlain Towers South early that morning on June 24th, 2021. They were staying in a family-owned unit, 1106, nearly 15 feet away from the side of the building that collapsed.
Albert and Janette were with their two children, who were awake when part of the structure came down. Albert told CBS 4, "I can still visualize concrete walls looking like Jell-O."
Albert thought it was an explosion. His son thought a plane crashed into the building. When Albert went out onto the balcony first responders told them to get out if they could. He said, "I got up, I went to the living room and looked out the balcony. It looked like we were enveloped in smoke."
The Aguero family left the unit with just the clothes on their backs. As they exited into the hall they saw the two elevator shafts, as just gaping holes and the apartment unit next door to them was sheared in half. Aguero said it all started to hit him as they were walking down the stairs. He told CBS 4, "I think that's when it really hit me because that wall partially collapsed, and I could see the ocean at that point."
The family of four made it out to the beach in 10 minutes. That's when Janette picked up the phone and called her mother-in-law. She said, "The first thing out of my mouth is the building fell... and she's like what? And I'm hysterical because I'm looking at an entire building in shambles. The whole back of it was just gone... And you know you walked into that building seeing those people, seeing children playing at the pool, seeing kids having fun at the beach...it was gone...it was gone."
Shortly after the sun came up people gathered at the community center. That's where Janette says the survivors guilt started to sink in. She said, "You just wish you didn't exist. You wish you could disappear. Vanish. Because nothing I could say here it's going to make you feel any better."
The family currently lives in a mid-rise building outside of New York City. To this day they are still haunted by the sights and sounds of that night. "There isn't a night I go to sleep that I don't think what if it happened again. There isn't a moment I don't put my head down on a pillow and think my daughters how far away for me? How quickly can we get out of here?", Janette said.
The Agueros did help an elderly woman out of the building that night. They keep in touch with her.
They told us they will not be coming down Friday for the one-year service, because they don't feel it's right.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota announced Wednesday that he suffered a serious injury to his right hand and is potentially facing amputation of a finger.
The Republican lawmaker said he was working in his yard over the weekend when he sustained the injury that required immediate surgery.
“I continue to remain in North Dakota close to medical care as there is a high risk of infection and the possible need for amputation,” Cramer said in a statement. “I am alert and in good spirits.”
The injury means Cramer will miss the remaining days of votes and hearings this week as the Senate is advancing a bipartisan gun safety package, which could pass by week’s end.
The landmark package, Congress’ response to mass shootings in Texas and New York that shook the nation, did not receive Cramer’s support. He and other Republican senators expressed criticism of the package’s inclusion of “red flag” laws that make it easier to temporarily take firearms from people adjudged dangerous Nineteen states mostly dominated by Democrats and the District of Columbia have them, but Republicans have blocked efforts in Congress to pass federal legislation on the subject.
“If we’re not going to pass a federal red flag law, and we shouldn’t, why would we incentivize states to do something that we think is a bad idea?” Cramer told AP last week.
He said in his statement Wednesday that he plans to return to Washington after the Fourth of July holiday recess and expects “to be doling out a lot of left-handed fist bumps.” | https://www.cbs17.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/sen-kevin-cramer-injures-hand-may-face-finger-amputation/ | 2022-06-22T20:58:27Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/sen-kevin-cramer-injures-hand-may-face-finger-amputation/ | true | 32 |

Biden calls for 3-month suspension of gas and diesel taxes
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is calling on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months — an election-year move meant to ease financial pressures. But it’s not clear Biden has the votes to suspend the taxes. Many lawmakers in his own party have expressed reservations. Biden says he knows the move wouldn’t reduce “all the pain but it will be a big help.” If the gas tax savings were fully passed along to consumers, people would save roughly 3.6% at the pump. Prices average about $5 a gallon nationwide. Biden also wants states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide similar relief.

Powell: Fed aims to avoid recession but says it’s possible
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sought to reassure the public that the Fed will raise interest rates high and fast enough to quell inflation, without tightening credit so much as to throttle the economy and cause a recession. Testifying to the Senate Banking Committee, Powell faced skeptical questions about the Fed’s ability to tame inflation, which has surged to the top of Americans’ concerns as congressional elections near. Democrats wondered whether the Fed’s accelerated rate hikes will succeed in curbing inflation or might instead just tip the economy into a downturn. Several Republicans charged that the Powell Fed had moved too slowly to begin raising rates and now must speed up its hikes. ___
US stocks give up afternoon gains and end slightly lower
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks gave up an afternoon gain and ended slightly lower on Wall Street Wednesday. Energy companies helped pull the market lower after crude oil prices sank. The S&P 500 fell 0.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq lost 0.1%. The price of U.S. crude oil fell 4%. Investors closely watched testimony to Congress from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He reaffirmed the central bank’s determination to raise interest rates and slow inflation. Bond yields mostly fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 3.16%.

‘Groundhog Day’ at IRS: Returns pile up, phone delays worsen
WASHINGTON (AP) — An IRS watchdog says customer service issues are worsening at the tax-return-processing agency. A new report from the National Taxpayer Advocate says taxpayers are experiencing longer wait times on the phone, there’s an even bigger backlog of paper returns than there was a year ago, and delays in processing paper returns have been running six months to one year. The report on taxpayer challenges is submitted twice a year to Congress. The latest edition comes one day after the IRS said it’s on track to eliminate its 2021 backlog of tax returns. The IRS contends the report’s numbers are “neither the most accurate nor most recent figures.” and that the agency ”continues to make substantial progress on the inventory.”

US importing baby formula from Mexico to ease shortage
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is providing logistical support to import the equivalent of about 16 million 8-ounce baby formula bottles from Mexico. That starts this weekend as part of efforts to ease nationwide supply shortages caused by the closure of the largest US manufacturing plant. The Department of Health and Human Services is expediting the travel of trucks that will drive about 1 million pounds of Gerber Good Start Gentle infant formula from a Nestlé plant to U.S. retailers. That’s nearly double the amount imported to the U.S. to date. Cargo flights from Europe and Australia already have brought baby formula into the U.S., and more will come this weekend.

Walmart expands health services to address racial inequality
NEW YORK (AP) — Walmart is expanding health care coverage for employees who want to use a doula, a person trained to assist women during pregnancies. It's part of an effort to address racial inequities in maternal care. After first offering doulas to employees in Georgia last year, Walmart said Wednesday that it will expand the same benefit to its employees in Louisiana, Indiana and Illinois. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. Walmart says it chose to extend coverage to states where the impact would be immediate. It said the mortality rate in Louisiana is five times higher for Black mothers than it is for white mothers and that in Indiana, 33 counties don’t have OB-GYN services.
___ UK to see 2nd national rail strike after talks hit stalemate
LONDON (AP) — Britain is facing the second of three national railway strikes after new negotiations between union and employers ended in deadlock. The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union accused the government of “wrecking” Wednesday’s talks. It said the 24-hour walkout by 40,000 cleaners, signalers, maintenance workers and station staff would go ahead as planned on Thursday. Rail infrastructure company Network Rail said it was “disappointed that the RMT have again chosen to walk away from negotiations.” The union held a daylong strike on Tuesday that brought the U.K. rail network to a crawl, with only a fifth of passenger services running. Another walkout is planned for Saturday.

Thousands of Dutch farmers protest, fearing government cuts
STROE, Netherlands (AP) — Thousands of farmers have gathered in the central Netherlands to protest the Dutch government’s plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia. They drove their tractors across the country in slow-moving convoys and snarled traffic on major highways Wednesday. The protest was organized after the government published steep nationwide targets for cutting emissions. Calling it an “unavoidable transition,” the government mandated changes that will likely make many farmers drastically reduce their livestock or get rid of them altogether. Farmers claim their livelihoods and those of thousands of people who work in the agricultural services industry are on the line.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months — an election-year move meant to ease financial pressures that was greeted with doubts by many lawmakers.
The Democratic president also called on states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide similar relief, and he delivered a public critique of the energy industry for prioritizing profits over production. It would take action by lawmakers in Washington and in statehouses across the country to actually bring relief to consumers.
“It doesn’t reduce all the pain but it will be a big help,” Biden said, using the bully pulpit when his administration believes it has run out of direct levers to address soaring gas prices. “I’m doing my part. I want Congress, states and industry to do their part as well.”
At issue is the 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on gas and the 24.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on diesel fuel. If the gas savings were fully passed along to consumers, people would save roughly 3.6% at the pump when prices are averaging about $5 a gallon nationwide.
Biden’s push faces uphill odds in Congress, which must act in order to suspend the tax, and where many lawmakers, including some in his own party, have expressed reservations. Even many economists view the idea of a gas tax holiday with skepticism.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered a noncommittal response to Biden’s proposal, saying she would look to see if there was support for it in Congress.
“We will see where the consensus lies on a path forward for the president’s proposal in the House and the Senate,” Pelosi said.
In his speech, Biden tied higher energy prices to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said, “defending freedom, defending democracy was not going to go without cost for the American people and the rest of the free world.” The president noted that lawmakers backed sanctions against Russia and aiding Ukraine despite the risks of inflation from resulting energy and food shortages.
Democrats, Republicans and independents in Congress chose to support Ukraine, “knowing full well the cost,” he said.
“So for all those Republicans in Congress criticizing me today for high gas prices in America: Are you now saying you were wrong to support Ukraine?” Biden said. “Are you saying that we would rather have lower gas prices in America than (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s iron fist in Europe? I don’t believe that. ”
The president said “states are now in a strong position to be able to afford to take some of these actions,” thanks to federal support from the 2021 COVID-19 relief bill. But there is no guarantee that states will tap into their budgets to suspend their taxes on gas or to deliver rebates to consumers, as Biden is requesting.
Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, called the idea of a gas tax holiday a “gimmick” that allowed politicians to “say that they did something.” He also warned that oil companies could offset the tax relief by increasing their prices.
The administration is saying that gas tax suspensions at the federal and state levels as well as energy companies pouring their profits into production and refining capacity could cut gas prices by $1 a gallon.
High gas prices pose a fundamental threat to Biden’s electoral and policy ambitions. They’ve caused confidence in the economy to slump to lows that bode poorly for defending Democratic control of the House and the Senate in November.
Biden’s past efforts to cut gas prices — including the release of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve and greater ethanol blending this summer — have not delivered savings at the pump, a risk that carries over to the idea of a gas tax holiday.
The president can do remarkably little to fix prices that are set by global markets, profit-driven companies, consumer demand and aftershocks from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the embargoes that followed. The underlying problem is a shortage of oil and refineries that produce gas, a challenge a tax holiday cannot necessarily fix.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimated that the majority of the 8.6% inflation seen over the past 12 months in the U.S. comes from higher commodity prices due to Russia’s invasion and continued disruptions from the coronavirus.
“In the immediate near term, it is critical to stem the increase in oil prices,” Zandi said last week, suggesting that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and a nuclear deal with Iran could help to boost supplies and lower prices. Republican lawmakers have tried to shift more blame to Biden, saying he created a hostile environment for domestic oil producers, causing their output to stay below pre-pandemic levels.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell mocked the gas tax holiday as an “ineffective stunt” in a Wednesday floor speech. “This ineffective administration’s big new idea is a silly proposal that senior members of their own party have already shot down well in advance,” he said.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, the Democratic chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he would not support suspending the gas tax. “I’m going to be working against it. I have the largest committee in Congress, so we’ll see.”
DeFazio said a better course would be to tax oil companies on “windfall profits.”
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he would look at the proposal because Biden has proposed it.
“What I’m not sure is that it in fact will have the intended effect in terms of the retail price, whether in fact we will save the consumer money,” Hoyer said. “Do I think we have the votes? We haven’t counted, so we don’t know yet.”
Administration officials said the $10 billion cost of the gas tax holiday would be paid for and the Highway Trust Fund kept whole, even though the gas taxes make up a substantial source of revenue for the fund. The officials did not specify any new revenue sources.
The president has also called on energy companies to accept lower profit margins to increase oil production and refining capacity for gasoline.
This has increased tensions with oil producers: Biden has judged the companies to be making “more money than God.” That kicked off a chain of events in which the head of Chevron, Michael Wirth, sent a letter to the White House saying that the administration “has largely sought to criticize, and at times vilify, our industry.”
Asked about the letter, Biden said of Wirth: “He’s mildly sensitive. I didn’t know they’d get their feelings hurt that quickly.”
Energy companies are scheduled to meet Thursday with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to discuss ways to increase supply. | https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/biden-calls-for-3-month-suspension-of-gas-and-diesel-taxes/article_9ce8d543-168a-5b5a-8621-c86672345ab5.html | 2022-06-22T21:14:50Z | https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/biden-calls-for-3-month-suspension-of-gas-and-diesel-taxes/article_9ce8d543-168a-5b5a-8621-c86672345ab5.html | true | 65 |
Boy, 11, sole survivor of crash that killed family on way home from summer vacation
CARTER COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ/Gray News) – An 11-year-old was the sole survivor of a crash in Kentucky that killed the boy’s parents and younger brother, officials said.
According to Kentucky State Police, 41-year-old Jitu Galani, 39-year-old Nitu Galani, and the couple’s 4-year-old son died in the crash Saturday night.
Troopers said Jitu Galani, the father, was driving a 2014 Honda CRV and missed the entrance to Carter Caves State Resort Park, where the family was planning to camp. When he put the vehicle in reverse to head back toward the entrance, the vehicle went over an embankment, fell into a creek, and landed on its top, investigators said.
The 11-year-old boy managed to get out of the vehicle and flag down a park ranger for help. Officials said the boy only suffered minor injuries.
Troopers said that all four people inside the vehicle were wearing seatbelts.
According to the coroner, the family planned to camp with friends overnight at the park before heading home to Beavercreek, Ohio, after vacationing in Virginia Beach. Beavercreek is in the greater Dayton area.
Crews with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet are assessing the crash site to see if anything can be done to improve that section of road. According to a spokesperson, they received a request for a guardrail to be placed in the section where the accident happened. Engineers are assessing that request.

- Closes $7.5 Million Second Tranche Investment from DaVita
- $30 Million in Total Capital Raised This Quarter
- Receives Additional Feedback from FDA on its IND Application
WIXOM, Mich., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMTI), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the treatment of iron deficiency and anemia management and improving outcomes for patients, today provided an update on its recent capital raise and a clinical update on safety enhancements to its planned Phase 2 clinical trial of Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) in home infusion patients.
On June 16, 2022 Rockwell Medical closed the second $7.5 million tranche of the previously announced DaVita, Inc (NYSE:DVA) stock purchase agreement under which DaVita agreed to purchase up to $15 million in convertible preferred stock in two tranches. This investment, in addition to the recently announced $15 million financing, brings the total gross amount raised by Rockwell this quarter to $30 million. There were no commissions paid on either investment.
"This capital, when combined with the initiatives we completed earlier this year, will extend our cash runway meaningfully, during which time we will continue advancing our Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) development programs and improving our dialysis business," said Russell Skibsted, Executive Vice President, CFO and CBO. "We plan to restructure and grow our dialysis business to generate improved gross margins and cash flow. On the development side, with the rapidly growing trend toward medical care at home, we are preparing to conduct our Phase 2 clinical trial of FPC in home infusion patients, a population with a significant unmet burden from iron deficiency anemia, pending submission of additional CMC microbial data in support of FDA clearance to begin this trial."
Due to the fact that the eventual commercial presentation of FPC) for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia and maintenance of hemoglobin in patients receiving infusion therapy in the home setting, a single dose sterile unit, is still in development, the planned Phase 2 proof of concept study design requires that three units of the existing FDA-approved IV product be compounded into a single unit for each patient dose. Because of this necessary step, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested that Rockwell perform a microbial challenge study, a standard study testing the potential for microbial growth. Successful completion of this study will add an additional layer of safety for clinical trial patients.
"We are pleased to provide the FDA with the additional data requested and fully support the generation of any data that will further assure the safety of the patients that will participate in our study," said Marc Hoffman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Rockwell Medical. "We continue to make progress toward clearance of our IND. We believe the requested microbial challenge study will have minimal impact on our proposed Phase 2 program timeline or cost as the tests will be conducted in parallel with the clinical study start-up activities."
Home infusion therapy is a rapidly growing segment of home healthcare. Many patients receiving home infusion therapy have diseases that are associated with a high rate of iron deficiency and anemia, and current treatment options are not well suited for use in the home setting.
Rockwell Medical is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing its next-generation parenteral iron technology platform, Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC), which has the potential to lead transformative treatments for iron deficiency in multiple disease states, reduce healthcare costs and improve patients' lives. The Company has two FDA-approved therapies indicated for patients undergoing hemodialysis, which are the first two products developed from the FPC platform. Rockwell Medical is also advancing its FPC platform by developing FPC for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients outside of dialysis, who are receiving intravenous medications in the home infusion setting. In addition, Rockwell Medical is one of two major suppliers of life-saving hemodialysis concentrate products to kidney dialysis clinics in the United States. For more information, visit www.RockwellMed.com.
Home health is an area of medicine experiencing significant growth – a trend that will likely continue over the next decade due to an aging US population, the need to control costs, the desire to improve patient outcomes, and the convenience of home healthcare. Home infusion therapy, an important part of some home care regimens, allows patients with diseases requiring regular infusions of intravenous medications to be treated in the comfort of their home and has been proven to be a cost-effective, safe, and efficacious alternative to inpatient care for a variety of therapies and disease states, both acute and chronic. Treating IDA as part of an existing home infusion regimen more effectively, calls for an innovative approach. Rockwell Medical is developing a technology to manage iron in the home infusion setting. Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) is Rockwell's novel next-generation parenteral iron is anticipated to enter a Phase II study for the treatment of IDA in the home infusion setting in 2022.

Mackenzie Says Green Bond Buyers Could Get Carbon Offset Reward
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- The dilemma of buying green bonds at higher prices than conventional securities with comparable credit quality could be eased if the ethical notes were deemed a tool for investors to deliver on their own net-zero greenhouse gas emission pledges, according to fund managers at Mackenzie Investments.
“Right now it’s the same creditor, the same issuer, there is zero benefit for holding a security, which is yielding less, unless you want to do something good,” said Konstantin Boehmer, a fixed-income portfolio manager at Toronto-based Mackenzie, which oversees C$195.7 billion ($151.3 billion) of assets. “But there’s no financial benefit for the client.”
The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), whose members include Morgan Stanley and ABN Amro NV, released a proposal late last year that includes calculating avoided greenhouse emissions related to the projects financed with green bonds. The draft, which was up for public feedback for several weeks, is focused on green bond deals issued by non-financial companies. PCAF officials didn’t reply to emailed requests and calls about the current status of the proposal.
“Maybe we’ll get to a state in the future where people are looking at green bonds as an equivalent to having carbon offset,” said Boehmer. “Maybe on some of my exposures, instead of buying the carbon offsets I will own more green bonds in my portfolios.”
To be sure, institutional investors are buying green bonds as well as other environmental, social and governance-labeled securities -- sometimes at premium prices -- in part because ESG investment vehicles attract and retain clients’ cash. For instance, the value of sustainable mutual funds and ESG-focused exchange-traded funds globally rose by 53% last year to $2.7 trillion, with a net $596 billion flowing into the strategy, according to data provided by Morningstar Inc.
The potential use of green bonds as a carbon offset is being assessed at a time when countries including Canada are setting up their ESG war chests, including carbon credit markets. Earlier this year, the federal government released a set of targets its industries must meet for the country to reach its greenhouse gas emission goals, and previously pushed ahead with a carbon tax.
Bloomberg Philanthropies supported PCAF’s works, the document said. Bloomberg Philanthropies is the philanthropic organization of Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, which owns Bloomberg News.
“If you want to buy carbon offsets, you pay real dollars to do it,” said Boehmer, adding that such change may take years.
Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions is aware of the PCAF consultation and looks forward to reviewing the public results, an official for the regulator said in an email. Bank of Canada didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
“It is part of a discussion of smaller groups and we have one -- I’m part of it -- we’re working on a subgroup for the Bank of Canada where that is being discussed,” said Boehmer. “If you generate some additional financial benefits for having green bonds, that needs to be properly audited.”

Britain's defence intelligence service believes that Russia's momentum in the war in Ukraine will slow in the next few months as its army exhausts its resources, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a group of European newspapers.
In comments released on Wednesday by Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Johnson said President Vladimir Putin's forces were pushing forward in the eastern Donbas region, wreaking destruction but at a heavy cost in soldiers and weapons.
"Our defence intelligence service believes, however, that in the next few months, Russia could come to a point at which there is no longer any forward momentum because it has exhausted its resources," Johnson was quoted as saying in the interview.
"Then we must help the Ukrainians to reverse the dynamic. I will argue for this at the Group of Seven summit (in Germany at the weekend)," he said.
"In as much as the Ukrainians are in a position to start a counter-offensive, it should be supported. With equipment that they demand from us," he said.
Asked what a victory for Ukraine, or failure for Putin, would look like, Johnson said:
"That we at least regain the status quo that was there before Feb. 24 and that its (Russia's) troops are repulsed from the areas they invaded".
The interview was also given to France's Le Monde and Italian and Spanish newspapers. | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/06/22/russian-momentum-in-ukraine-could-slow-for-lack-of-resources-british-pm | 2022-06-22T21:25:49Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/06/22/russian-momentum-in-ukraine-could-slow-for-lack-of-resources-british-pm | false | 8 |
Human remains identified by authorities as woman missing since 2015
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - Remains discovered last month in Ohio have been identified as a woman who had been missing since 2015, according to authorities.
Kristy Thomas was last seen alive on June 19 of that year. Her mother, Kimberly Osborne, spoke to WOIO about Thomas’s death.
“I was mad, angry, and hurt I had to tell Kristy’s son,” Osborne said. “That was the hardest part.”
On May 13, a worker found bones in a field in Slavic Village, a neighborhood located on the South and East Side of Cleveland.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office compared Osborne’s DNA to the remains, confirming they belonged to Thomas on June 17.
“I knew something was wrong because she would’ve contacted her son,” Osborne said. “Everyone tried giving me that hope and I got that hope back but now it’s shot down again.”
Thomas’s family previously said she was last spotted just a few streets away from where her remains were found.
Osborne also said she didn’t know her then-25-year-old daughter was missing until she received a suspicious phone call telling her that her daughter disappeared. She said she still does not know who made that call.
“It’s a little bit of closure but it ain’t fully closure until I know what happened to my daughter, and then I can lay her to rest properly,” Osborne said.
It’s not known when or where Thomas died, or how long her body was in the location where her remains were found.
Thomas’s family also made a statement on a Facebook page created to help in the effort of bringing Thomas home:
“I can’t put into words how I feel right now but just know, this is our first step towards healing. We don’t have to wonder if she is alive or an angel. She gained her wings. We love you so much Kristy.”
The Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to determine the cause of death.

- Closes $7.5 Million Second Tranche Investment from DaVita
- $30 Million in Total Capital Raised This Quarter
- Receives Additional Feedback from FDA on its IND Application
WIXOM, Mich., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMTI), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the treatment of iron deficiency and anemia management and improving outcomes for patients, today provided an update on its recent capital raise and a clinical update on safety enhancements to its planned Phase 2 clinical trial of Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) in home infusion patients.
On June 16, 2022 Rockwell Medical closed the second $7.5 million tranche of the previously announced DaVita, Inc (NYSE:DVA) stock purchase agreement under which DaVita agreed to purchase up to $15 million in convertible preferred stock in two tranches. This investment, in addition to the recently announced $15 million financing, brings the total gross amount raised by Rockwell this quarter to $30 million. There were no commissions paid on either investment.
"This capital, when combined with the initiatives we completed earlier this year, will extend our cash runway meaningfully, during which time we will continue advancing our Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) development programs and improving our dialysis business," said Russell Skibsted, Executive Vice President, CFO and CBO. "We plan to restructure and grow our dialysis business to generate improved gross margins and cash flow. On the development side, with the rapidly growing trend toward medical care at home, we are preparing to conduct our Phase 2 clinical trial of FPC in home infusion patients, a population with a significant unmet burden from iron deficiency anemia, pending submission of additional CMC microbial data in support of FDA clearance to begin this trial."
Due to the fact that the eventual commercial presentation of FPC) for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia and maintenance of hemoglobin in patients receiving infusion therapy in the home setting, a single dose sterile unit, is still in development, the planned Phase 2 proof of concept study design requires that three units of the existing FDA-approved IV product be compounded into a single unit for each patient dose. Because of this necessary step, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested that Rockwell perform a microbial challenge study, a standard study testing the potential for microbial growth. Successful completion of this study will add an additional layer of safety for clinical trial patients.
"We are pleased to provide the FDA with the additional data requested and fully support the generation of any data that will further assure the safety of the patients that will participate in our study," said Marc Hoffman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Rockwell Medical. "We continue to make progress toward clearance of our IND. We believe the requested microbial challenge study will have minimal impact on our proposed Phase 2 program timeline or cost as the tests will be conducted in parallel with the clinical study start-up activities."
Home infusion therapy is a rapidly growing segment of home healthcare. Many patients receiving home infusion therapy have diseases that are associated with a high rate of iron deficiency and anemia, and current treatment options are not well suited for use in the home setting.
Rockwell Medical is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing its next-generation parenteral iron technology platform, Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC), which has the potential to lead transformative treatments for iron deficiency in multiple disease states, reduce healthcare costs and improve patients' lives. The Company has two FDA-approved therapies indicated for patients undergoing hemodialysis, which are the first two products developed from the FPC platform. Rockwell Medical is also advancing its FPC platform by developing FPC for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients outside of dialysis, who are receiving intravenous medications in the home infusion setting. In addition, Rockwell Medical is one of two major suppliers of life-saving hemodialysis concentrate products to kidney dialysis clinics in the United States. For more information, visit www.RockwellMed.com.
Home health is an area of medicine experiencing significant growth – a trend that will likely continue over the next decade due to an aging US population, the need to control costs, the desire to improve patient outcomes, and the convenience of home healthcare. Home infusion therapy, an important part of some home care regimens, allows patients with diseases requiring regular infusions of intravenous medications to be treated in the comfort of their home and has been proven to be a cost-effective, safe, and efficacious alternative to inpatient care for a variety of therapies and disease states, both acute and chronic. Treating IDA as part of an existing home infusion regimen more effectively, calls for an innovative approach. Rockwell Medical is developing a technology to manage iron in the home infusion setting. Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) is Rockwell's novel next-generation parenteral iron is anticipated to enter a Phase II study for the treatment of IDA in the home infusion setting in 2022.

Covid: Two Welsh health boards bring back face masks
- Published
Rising Covid numbers have prompted two health boards to ask staff and visitors to wear face masks in their hospitals.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show infections were at their highest in Wales for a month in the week up to 11 June.
Now, Aneurin Bevan and Cwm Taf Morgannwg heath boards have said people will be asked to wear masks at all or some of their hospitals.
The BBC has asked Wales' other health boards if they are taking any action.
On 30 May, the necessity to wear a mask in health settings was the last of the Welsh government's coronavirus rules to go.
Aneurin Bevan health board said the move was driven by "the increasing prevalence of Covid-19 in the community, the increased number of Covid-19 ward outbreaks and the numbers of staff absent with Covid-19".
It said it would continue to review the policy, which has been implemented with immediate effect, and update people accordingly.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board said it had an increasing number of patients with Covid in two of its hospitals, Royal Glamorgan and Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda.
To protect patients, staff and visitors it said it was asking staff and visitors to wear masks in all areas of those hospitals, as well as socially distancing as much as possible.
This too has started immediately and will be reviewed daily.
Hywel Dda health board said it was not a legal requirement for visitors to wear masks, but "from time to times it may be necessary to ask visitors to wear additional PPE, such as face masks, to help minimise the risk of spread of infection in hospital".
It added: "Any requirement to wear PPE will be communicated clearly by the nurse in charge of the ward."
A Public Health Wales spokesman said although it did not run any wards or clinical areas in hospitals, its screening division programmes did work in hospitals, so its staff would "follow local guidance which includes the use of face masks in some places".

The Suwalki Gap is sufficiently protected by Polish and allied troops, said Poland’s defence minister on Wednesday.
The gap, which stretches about 100 kilometres along the Lithuanian-Polish border and lies sandwiched between Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, has long been regarded as a vulnerable point in Nato’s defences, if conflict breaks out with Russia.
A Russian attack through the gap could cut off the Baltic states. A few days ago, The Politico website, citing several military strategists, wrote that in the event of a clash between Russia and Nato the gap would probably be the “first point of contact.”
Mariusz Blaszczak told reporters at a press conference that the Suwalki Gap, was “sufficiently protected” by allied forces deployed as part of Nato’s enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) and “through the expansion and development of units making up (Poland’s – PAP) 16th Mechanised Division.”
“An important element in building security and strength in this part of our country is cooperation with Lithuania,” the defence minister added. “Because our primary task is to deter the aggressor and to not allow the aggressor to cross the border onto the territory of Poland.”

-Changed Drynurse spawn to prevent infinite farming. If the new duplicate is also a Drynurse, duplicate will drop no rewards. This is just a temporary solution for now. | https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/8988803/ | 2022-06-22T21:39:44Z | https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/8988803/ | false | null |
Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., June 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southern California’s taste, smell, and beauty innovator, Sensegen, announced its natural fragrance survey results, gearing up for exhibiting its “New Naturals” initiative at the World Perfumery Congress (WPC), Booth #523, June 29 – July 1, 2022, in Miami, Florida. Sensegen is a division of Blue California ingredients.
“We’re very excited to share our results of the natural fragrance survey, revealing consumer knowledge of natural fragrances and what is appealing, trend-setting in personal care and beauty products,” said Angelique Burke, senior perfumer at Sensegen. “The era of truly natural perfumery is here; we are bringing nature back into perfumery by harnessing classic fragrance molecules from biology rather than deriving them from petroleum.”
Sensegen’s New Naturals are bio-designed fragrances that are natural (plant-based), safe, and sustainable. They perform and are as pleasant as synthetics, yet more complex than blends of essential oils, which thus far have been the only option for natural fragrance seekers. No such fragrance initiative exists on the market today.
An ideal example of a New Natural is Sensegen’s entire class of plant-based musks that gives perfumers the best natural alternative to synthetics. Once coveted and exclusive, the musk fragrance became banned for the inhumane treatment of the Musk Deer --- the only source at the time. After that, the highly sought-after musky olfactive character was solely a synthetic option for perfumers.
“The lack of availability of natural musks, combined with the ubiquity, performance, and wide acceptability of this olfactive character, has created a huge challenge for natural fragrances to compete in the marketplace,” said Burke. "Today, Sensegen can offer a far-reaching range of natural and sustainable creations, which proudly stand their ground in the market.”
Sensegen asked 1,000 consumers about their personal care routines and beauty regimens in an online survey. Survey respondents were also asked about their attitudes and understanding of personal care/beauty care products as it relates to scented, as opposed to unscented products, label reading, purchase decision influencers, and familiarity and understanding of natural fragrances.
While 66% of consumers said natural fragrances were naturally derived fragrances, approximately 14% thought it meant no added fragrance, and 5% said it was the same as unscented.
Later, survey participants were shown an explanation of New Natural Fragrances and a product concept containing the new natural fragrance. The data shows that 74% of those respondents would choose the New Natural fragrance concept versus the synthetic. This was a 5% increase over consumers’ choice before being presented with information on the new natural fragrance.
“From this natural fragrance survey, we concluded that there’s a gap in understanding and awareness regarding such terms used in labeling fragrance and fragrance-related statements,” said Natasha D’Souza, senior director, global sensory and consumer insights at Blue California. “There hasn’t been a better time for brands to make exceptional, sustainable products and educate consumers on how they are adopting a more natural position for the benefit of the planet and humankind."
Interested parties and media members inquiring about the natural fragrance survey can stop by Sensegen’s booth #523 at the WPC or contact Sensegen. The Sensegen booth will have smelling products from sustainable, 100% bio-based materials. Fragrances include samples of fine fragrance, personal care, and home care.
The World Perfumery Congress is hosted by Perfumer & Flavorist.
Sensegen™, is the science of good sense. We’ve got nature down to a science and create the perfect sense.
As a division of Blue California Ingredients, our innovative taste, smell, and creative beauty center is dedicated solely to delivering plant-based, natural, and sustainable solutions. Our diverse team of experts collaborate with advanced bio-techniques and collaborate as a team to provide unique consumer-validated ingredients.
At Sensegen™, we’ve pioneered a way of formulating nature without compromise or harm, providing one-of-a-kind solutions for Taste, Smell, and Beauty.

Greetings and welcome to the CVR Partners, LP First Quarter 2020 Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host Mr. Jay Finks, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer. Thank you. You may begin.
Jay Finks
Thank you, Michelle. Good morning, everyone. We appreciate your participation in today’s call. With me today are Mark Pytosh, our Chief Executive Officer; Tracy Jackson, our Chief Financial Officer; and other members of management.
Prior to discussing our 2020 first quarter results, let me remind you that we are a variable distribution MLP. We will review our previously established reserves, current cash usage, evaluate future anticipated cash needs and may reserve amounts for other future cash needs as determined by our general partner’s Board. As a result, our distribution, if any, will vary from quarter-to-quarter due to several factors, including but limited to operating performance, fluctuations in prices received for finished goods, capital expenditures and cash reserve deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors of the general partner.
Let me also remind you that this conference call may contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined under federal securities laws. For this purpose, any statements made during this call that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words outlook, believes, anticipates, plans, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
You are cautioned that these statements may be affected by important factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our latest earnings release. As a result, actual operations or results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.
This call also includes various non-GAAP financial measures. The disclosures related to such non-GAAP measures, including reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our 2020 first quarter earnings release that we filed with the SEC, yesterday after the close of the market.
With that said, I’ll turn the call over to Mark Pytosh, our Chief Executive Officer. Mark?
Mark Pytosh
Thank you, Jay. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for today’s call.
The summarized financial highlights for the first quarter of 2020 included net sales of $75 million, a net loss of $21 million; EBITDA of $11 million; and there is no cash available for distribution this quarter.
During the first quarter of 2020, we experienced third-party outages at Coffeyville facility that led do approximately 10 days of unplanned downtime. During the downtime at Coffeyville, we proactively completed maintenance work at the facility that allowed us to move its planned turnaround from the fall of 2020 to the summer of 2021. Aside from these third-party issues, Coffeyville operated as expected in the quarter.
The ammonia plant operated at 86% utilization, below the first quarter of 2019 at 96%. The unplanned downtime from the third-party outages impacted Coffeyville’s utilization rate by approximately 9%.
We had strong utilization at the East Dubuque facility following the completion of its planned turnaround last fall. At East Dubuque, the ammonia plant operated at 101% utilization, compared to utilization of 69% in the prior year period. As a reminder, the fall of 2018 was severely impacted by wet weather, which caused additional ammonia inventory of East Dubuque to be carried into the first quarter of 2019. We managed our storage capacity levels by reducing ammonia utilization during that period last year.
Our combined operations produced approximately 201,000 gross tons of ammonia, and 78,000 net tons of ammonia available for sale for the first quarter of 2020. This compares to production of 179,000 gross tons of ammonia, and 41,000 net tons of ammonia available for sale in the prior year period. We produced 317,000 tons of UAN in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 335,000 tons of UAN last year. We sold approximately 284,000 tons of UAN during the first quarter of 2020 at an average price of $166 per ton. In addition, we sold approximately 54,000 tons of ammonia during the first quarter of 2020 at an average price of $264 per ton. Year-over-year, pricing remained soft for UAN and ammonia, which were down 25% and 28%, respectively.
UAN pricing continued to be impacted by additional imports into the U.S. from Russia and Trinidad, as a result of the EU tariffs. The ammonia market also remained well-supplied with customers having carried over inventories after the poor fall application season which put pressure on pricing. Natural gas pricing was lower as well, helping offset some of the UAN price weakness.
In the first quarter, we saw normal activity from our customer base as they prepared for the spring planting season. So far, spring application has been robust, and we continue to expect a healthy increase to planted corn acreage, compared to last year, which I will discuss further in my closing remarks.
I will now turn the call over to Tracy to discuss our financial results.
Tracy Jackson
Thank you, Mark.
Turning to our results for the first quarter of 2020. We reported net sales of $75 million and an operating loss of $5 million, compared to net sales of $92 million and operating income of $9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net losses for the first quarter of 2020 were $21 million or $0.18 per common unit and EBITDA was $11 million. This compares to a net loss of $6 million or $0.05 per common unit, and EBITDA of $26 million for the prior year period. The year-over-year decline in EBITDA was driven predominantly by lower prices for ammonia and UAN.
Direct operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $35 million, in line with the prior year period. Excluding inventory impacts, direct operating expenses were $39 million, also consistent with the prior period.
Turning to capital spending. During the first quarter of 2020, we spent $6 million on capital projects, which was primarily maintenance capital. We estimate total capital spending for 2020 to be approximately $19 million to $23 million, of which $14 million to $16 million is expected to be maintenance capital. Turnaround expenses for the full year are expected to be less than $1 million.
Looking at the balance sheet, as of March 31st, we had approximately $83 million of liquidity, which was comprised of $58 million in cash, availability under the ABL facility of $50 million, less $25 million of cash included in our borrowing base.
Within our cash balance of $58 million, we had approximately $37 million related to customer prepayments for the future delivery of products. Our long-term gross debt and finance lease obligations of $647 million, including the current portion remains unchanged.
In assessing our cash available for distribution, we generated EBITDA of $11 million and had total cash needs of $15 million for debt service, and $4 million for maintenance capital expenditures. In addition, we released $3 million of cash reserves from prior quarters for maintenance turnaround and other operating needs. As a result, there was no cash available for distribution.
Looking ahead, we estimate our ammonia utilization rate for the second quarter of 2020 to be between 95% and 100%. We expect direct operating expenses to be approximately $35 million to $40 million excluding inventory impacts, and total capital spending to be between $6 million and $10 million.
With that, I’ll turn the call back over to Mark.
Mark Pytosh
Thanks, Tracy.
In the first quarter, we saw normal customer activity levels as customers were preparing for the spring planting season. During March, as a result of COVID-19, we took measures in our facilities to have non-essential employees work remotely, and adjusted staffing schedules and locations to maximize social distancing. We also modified our load-out process to protect our employees, contract workers and drivers by allowing the execution of a typical compressed application schedule.
Even with these added measures, we were able to ship record levels of ammonia in April from both of our plants. While the fall ammonia application season was below expectations due to wet weather, spring ammonia application has been robust throughout the Midwest.
Looking to the spring, the USDA estimated in its most recent planting intentions report that the U.S. farmers will plant 97 million acres of corn. This survey was taken in early March, in our opinion did not take into account a significant decline in ethanol and corn prices in the weeks after the survey and before the spring planting season. We still estimate planted corn acres to be between 92 million and 95 million acres, which will be a healthy increase compared to last year. We think it is too early to predict the timing and strength of recovery in demand for gasoline and ethanol, which will be driven by the pace of reopening of the U.S. economy and by ethanol exports.
Ethanol accounts for approximately one-third of domestic demand for corn. Despite these impacts from COVID-19, spring planting is following a normal pattern, and we expect to see large product movements in the second quarter. During the quarter, we continued to see UAN price at a discount to urea on a per pound of nitrogen basis. The dynamics we discussed on our last call regarding the impact of EU tariffs on product from Russia and Trinidad continue to impact the market. However, as we entered April, urea prices strengthened and led to increasing prices for UAN. Although UAN is still valued at a discount to urea, we believe on the margin that UAN will be favored versus urea for the remainder of the spring for topdress and sidedress nitrogen application.
Continuing to offset some of the pricing issues has been lower natural gas cost. Natural Gas prices used in production were significantly lower in the first quarter of 2020, averaging $2.42 per MMBtu as compared to $3.83 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2019. Pricing for the remainder of 2020 looks attractive where the forward strip is averaging $2.56 per MMBtu.
Outages caused by the third party air separation plant at Coffeyville resulted in downtime of 10 days from December to March. During this downtime, we took the opportunity to clean, repair or replace and inspect vessels and piping, replace catalysts and certify equipment. As a result, we determined that the maintenance work that had been done supports our decision to push back Coffeyville’s planned turnaround from the fall of 2020 to the summer of 2021. In addition, we are moving the East Dubuque turnaround planned for the fall of 2021 to the second half of 2022.
With the weakness across the stock market from the COVID-19 pandemic, our unit price has fallen below $1, and we received a continued listing notice from the New York Stock Exchange. We have until January 1, 2021 to regain compliance. We will consider the appropriate actions to take, if necessary as we get closer to that date. Given the performance of the units recently, we feel they are significantly undervalued, and the Board has authorized a unit repurchase program of up to $10 million. The authorization does not obligate the partnership to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by our general partner’s Board of Directors at any time.
I want to reiterate that the partnership will continue to focus on maximizing free cash flow by safely operating our plants reliably and at high utilization rates, while focusing on the health and safety of our employees, prudently managing our cost, being judicious with our capital by selectively investing in reliability projects and incremental additions to production capacity, and maximizing our marketing and logistics activities.
In closing, I would like to thank all of our employees for their focus on being healthy and safe, flexible and committed to helping the Company execute at a high level at a critical time of the year for our customers. We all look forward to gradually returning to more normalized conditions.
With that, we are ready to take any questions, Michelle.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Adam Samuelson with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Adam Samuelson
Yes. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone is safe.
Mark Pytosh
Thank you. You too.
Adam Samuelson
Thank you. Mark, thinking about the market and understanding kind of an outlook for strong spring, but given some of the dynamics facing -- potentially facing the market in the second half of the year and potential for lower corn acreage next year, if corn holds where it is and ethanol demand is where it is. Can we get -- your view of the UAN cost curve and where you sit on it?
Mark Pytosh
Well, first of all, Adam, let me address the market. Because we’re I would say in a pretty early days of kind of experiencing the recovery aspect of it. Obviously, we have the benefit of -- our parent company is in the refining business. And so, we have the ability to kind of watch the dynamics of where gasoline is headed -- gasoline demand, in particular ethanol. And gasoline demand fell about 50% starting in March. And most of the estimates that have been tossed around here in the last few days by other -- by refiners have been that that has bounced to maybe 60% or 65% of normal. And so, everyone’s concerned. We share that concern about where gasoline demand is going to be and the draw on ethanol. But I think it’s pretty early to make that call in the first week of May. But there’s some encouraging signs about gasoline demand. So, just to put that out there.
On the cost curve, globally, ever -- pretty much all the producers globally have seen benefit in the last 12 months from low natural gas prices, LNG prices have gone down offshore. We’ve seen -- obviously you can see in our numbers and the other producers in North America, how low natural gas has been. What I would tell you there, again, early days, we don’t really know yet, but it appears that some of the -- what’s been driving that down, may be taken out of the marketplace.
The biggest driver probably globally has been associated natural gas from oil drilling. And obviously activity there has fallen dramatically in the last month. And the associated gas component will be following there. I mean, if you look further out on the natural gas curve, I would say conditions appear to be changing the other way. It’s not going up dramatically. But, I think the benefit globally of what low prices have meant probably is it bottomed. The benefit we have being in the U.S. is we’ll probably -- I would expect the U.S. to sustain the lowest natural gas prices in the world. So, I would expect U.S. producers, when you combine natural gas plus lower transportation cost that we will be by far the lowest cost producers in the world, as it relates to delivering fertilizer in the Midwest in the U.S.
So I think we will be -- we retain, in fact, probably get more of a spread in our competitiveness in 2021 as compared to what it’s been like later in 2019 and 2020. So, I expect it to improve actually.
Operator
Thank you. We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I’d like to turn the call back over to management for any closing remarks.
Mark Pytosh
Just want to again thank all our employees for courageous efforts this quarter and the work they’ve done, the support to be healthy and safe and support to Company. And I wish everybody on the call to be careful and be safe. And look forward to talking to you in the summer and hopefully in brighter conditions. Thank you very much for participating today.

Stocks droop into red after Fed Chair underscores bank's resolve to "restore price stability"
Stocks gave up afternoon gains and ended slightly lower on Wall Street Wednesday, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave testimony to Congress, addressing the central bank's response to stubborn inflation that has thrown global markets into turmoil.
Energy companies helped pull the market lower after crude oil prices sank. The S&P 500 fell 5 points, or 0.1%, and both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq lost 0.2%.
The choppy trading follows a solid rally on Tuesday in what has been a turbulent period for the broader market, with daily — and sometimes hourly — swings from sharp gains to losses. The benchmark S&P 500 is currently in a bear market, which means it has dropped more than 20% from its most recent high in January. It has also fallen in 10 of the last 11 weeks, but is holding on to gains so far for this week.
Much of the loss has been tied to concerns about rising inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to aggressively raise interest rates in order to temper inflation's impact on consumers and businesses.
Investors, worried that the Fed risks bringing on a recession, closely watched Powell's testimony to Congress in which he reaffirmed the central bank's determination to raise interest rates and slow inflation.
"We're not trying to provoke and don't think that we will need to provoke a recession," Powell said. "But we do think it's absolutely essential that we restore price stability, really for the benefit of the labor market as much as anything else."
Bad for Biden
The Biden administration is very aware of the political risks of runaway inflation in an election year. The number of people who say things in the country are going badly overall is at the highest level of President Biden's tenure, according to a CBS poll from May, as pessimism about the market, the economy and prices outweighs optimism about both jobs and coronavirus.
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden called on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months with hopes of easing financial pressures at the pump.
Yet suspending the 18.4 cent levy on regular gas might not do much to lower prices for motorists, say energy experts, who caution that boosting consumer demand as domestic supplies remain constrained could actually increase fuel costs over the longer term.
Powell's appearance on Capitol Hill Wednesday was the first of two days of testimony as part of the central bank's semi-annual monetary policy report.
"For now, the fundamental catalyst for a more sustained rebound seems fragile, with all eyes on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony ahead to further drive expectations of policy outlook and inflation," Yeap Jun Rong, market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a commentary.
Last week, the Fed hiked its key short-term interest rate by triple the usual amount — the most since 1994. It has also just begun allowing some of the trillions of dollars of bonds it purchased through the pandemic to roll off its balance sheet. That should put upward pressure on longer-term interest rates and is another way central banks are yanking supports earlier propped underneath markets to bolster the economy.
The Fed's moves are happening as some discouraging signals have emerged about the economy, including sagging spending at retailers and soured consumer sentiment. The Fed could consider another mega-hike at its next meeting in July, but Powell has said increases of three-quarters of a percentage point would not be common.
Fears of recession, stagflation
Amid rising concerns about a possible recession, economists are keeping an eye on stagflation — a term coined in the 1970s defined as "persistent inflation combined with stagnant consumer demand and relatively high unemployment."
"The danger of stagflation is considerable today," the World Bank warned in a June 7 report. "Several years of above-average inflation and below-average growth are now likely."
The worries over inflation and interest rates have been worsened by a spike in energy prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The price of U.S. crude oil is up about 52% for the year. That has taken a bigger bite out of people's wallets at the gas pump and is prompting a slowdown in spending elsewhere.
Oil prices fell back on Wednesday, with benchmark U.S. crude shedding $5.04 to $104.48 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, declined $4.73 to $109.92 a barrel.

Uvalde Mass Shooting Hearings Continue
Law enforcement officials in Texas continue trying to decide if the officers responding to a school shooting in the town of Uvalde acted properly or not.
So far, the investigation seem to be leaning towards a finding that the officers could have acted sooner, which might have saved some of the lives of the 19 children and 2 teachers that were gunned down.
A Texas State Senate Committee is hearing testimony from witnesses and responding agencies to Robb Elementary where the shootings took place on Testimony came out about the May 24th mass shooting says doors were unlocked and the officers were on scene and had the proper equipment, but waited for more than an hour before confronting and killing the gunman.

The retail giant is looking to change that perception, however, with the launch of Ikea Kreativ’s Scene Scanner, as announced in an official company blog post. This virtual design tool uses nifty AI-enhanced tech to allow consumers to try furniture items before committing to a purchase. Ikea How does it work? Download and install the Ikea iOS app and scan your room using the built-in analyzer. You can erase any item of furniture from the scan and replace it with something from the Ikea catalog. If you don't feel comfortable scanning your own home, there are 50 virtual showrooms to arrange furniture in. The scanning process does seem slightly cumbersome, requiring enough photos to make a panoramic shot and some smartphone twirling, but Ikea says the software uses these photos to make a "wide-angle, interactive replica of the space, with accurate dimensions and perspective." Ikea Ikea Kreativ’s Scene Scanner doesn’t deduce measurements to ensure an item of furniture will fit in your space, but it does give you a pretty close approximation regarding size, and it certainly allows for a better idea of the item’s overall design and whether it matches your current aesthetic. The service is exclusive to iPhones, for now, with an Android version coming later in the summer. Scene Scanner is currently only for US residents, with a worldwide launch expected next year. Ikea also plans to keep updating the app, adding support for ceiling-mounted fixtures and textiles soon. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!

These words aptly describe a 47-year-old man from Waterford suburb in Bulawayo who allegedly forced his 17-year-old niece to touch his penis to turn him on and excite him before he forced her to repeatedly suck it for about 30 minutes.
As if that was not enough, the uncle, who cannot be named in order to protect the identity of the victim, when he was about to ejaculate, stopped the victim and tried to force his pen!s into her vag!na but without success.
After he failed to insert his penis, he went on to repeatedly rub it against her vagina and later ejaculated on it.
Circumstances are that on an unknown date but sometime in January this year and at around 10am, the victim met the alleged sex predator at the City Hall where he had invited her to come and take groceries and money which had been sent to her by her father who is based in Botswana.
After meeting him, the accused later drove with the victim to one of the supermarkets in the city centre claiming he wanted to collect his money.
On their way, the accused started touching the complainant’s legs while passing sexy comments saying: “You have nice legs, nice structure, nice nails and nice hairstyle”.
The accused man then forced the complainant to touch his penis and the complainant told him that she didn’t like what he was doing.
On their way back the accused reportedly drove to a secluded place near the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) and as he was driving there, he continued touching his niece’s legs and he forced her to also touch his penis.
It is reported that in the process he suddenly stopped his car and forcibly kissed the victim. He went on to unzip his pair of trousers and took out his penis and forced the complainant to suck it for about 30 minutes.
In the midst of the forced romance the accused then stopped the complainant telling her that he was about to ejaculate and, in the process, he removed her pants before he instructed her to open her legs widely.
After the complainant complied, the accused then tried to force his penis into her vagina but without success. He then repeatedly started rubbing his penis on her vagina and in the process, he ejaculated on it.
The seemingly traumatised victim then told the accused that she didn’t like what he had done to her and the accused subsequently asked for forgiveness.
In a bid to buy her silence he gave her US$11 and instructed her to go home while he drove back to town.
When the complainant reached home, she narrated the ordeal to her grandmother who told her not to tell anyone.
The matter, however, came to light on 12 May 2022 when the complainant relocated to Harare where she narrated the ordeal to her other uncle who then escorted her to Highlands Police Station to report the matter.
Investigations by the police later led to the arrest of the accused who has since appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Nomagugu Maphosa charged with aggravated indecent assault and attempted rape.
He was not asked to plead and was remanded out of custody to June 23 on $20 000 bail.

Can resign but will next CM be a Sainik: Uddhav Thackeray
- Thackeray’s speech, broadcast live on social media, came on a day marked by high drama as rebel MLAs – led by his one-time lieutenant and state urban development minister Eknath Shinde – flew from Surat to Guwahati under police protection, and gained in strength.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was battling for its political survival on Wednesday as chief minister Uddhav Thackeray made a last-ditch emotive appeal to rebel lawmakers who are threatening to pull down his government and shatter the three-party ruling alliance.
Thackeray’s speech, broadcast live on social media, came on a day marked by high drama as rebel MLAs – led by his one-time lieutenant and state urban development minister Eknath Shinde – flew from Surat to Guwahati under police protection, and gained in strength.
“If any of them (rebel MLAs) come to me or even give out a statement, and say that they do not want me as CM, I am ready to resign... I am preparing my resignation letter,” he said, breaking his silence on the biggest crisis of his career. “But can they guarantee that the next CM will be a Sainik?”
The message appeared to be directed at Shinde, who is tipped to become deputy CM in case he sides with the BJP and manages to get the rebels needed to split the Sena without attracting disqualification.
In Mumbai, an increasingly desperate Thackeray remained huddled in meetings with coalition partners, and in the evening, moved out of the CM’s residence to family home Matoshree, the seat of Sena power and the residence of his father, Balasaheb Thackeray, ostensibly in a bid to be seen as the rightful heir to his legacy.
Television beamed visuals of Thackeray and his family driving out of Varsha bungalow as crowds of Sena supporters jostled to catch a glimpse, and reaching Matoshree amid a throng of people, even as the government inched closer to collapse as two more Sena legislators joined the rebel camp in Guwahati late in the evening.
Shinde remained adamant that Sena needs to snap ties with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress to quell dissidence.“It’s essential to get out of the unnatural alliance for the survival of the party. Decisions need to be taken now in the interest of Maharashtra,” tweeted Shinde in Marathi.
The crisis broke late Monday night after the MVA suffered a loss in the legislative council polls, its second defeat in a week after the RS elections. Shinde and his loyalists drove to a hotel in Surat, where they camped all day, only moving to Guwahati around midnight amid heavy police presence. In Mumbai, the 61-year-old Thackeray harked on the Sena’s legacy and his position as the scion of Balasaheb. “We have seen several challenges when we were not in power. What’s worse that could happen; we will fight. Till the common Shiv Sainik is with me, I am ready to face any challenge.” “If my own people do not want me, I don’t want to stick to power. I am ready with my resignation letter even if one rebel comes and tells me face to face that he doesn’t want me as chief minister,” he said.
In the 18-minute speech, he admitted to being inexperienced, thanked his coalition partners, and said that a surgery prevented him from meeting people in the past two-three months. “These days there is a talk about the Shiv Sena not being the party of Balasaheb and giving up Hindutva…hindutva is Shiv Sena’s breath. I was the first CM to speak about hindutva in the legislative assembly,” Thackeray said.
As night fell, Thackeray was locked in meetings with NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Congress’s Kamal Nath, hammering out a plan to reach out to the rebels. “The chief minister is moving from Varsha to Matoshree. We are not enamoured by power. We are warriors, we will continue to fight and the truth shall prevail. Matoshree is the main power centre for Shiv Sena,”said Sanjay Raut, MP.
The 58-year-old Shinde is a Sena strongman who rose through the ranks in the 1980s and became the de facto number two in the party cadre after the death of founder Bal Thackeray. But the rise of a new guard of more moderate faces in the party, led by Aaditya Thackeray, may have left him and other members of the old guard (who were more intimately tied with right-wing and hardline regional politics) disenchanted, especially after the Sena broke its 25-year-old alliance with the BJP in 2019. Shinde, who spoke to Thackeray’s emissaries on Tuesday without any breakthrough reached, continued to demand that the MVA – which came together after the 2019 assembly election to pip the BJP to the post – be disbanded.
There are 288 members in the state assembly, of which one seat is vacant. The effective strength of the House, therefore, is 287. The Sena has 55 members, the NCP has 53 (of this, two people, Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh, are in jail, and therefore, will likely not be allowed to participate in assembly proceedings) and Congress 44. They have the support of three smaller parties and nine independent members. Together, the MVA has 166 members. The BJP has 106 lawmakers. It is backed by two smaller parties and four independents. Its strength is 112.
A letter sent by Shinde to governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and acting speaker Narhari Zirwal appended the signatures of 30 Sena lawmakers. Out of this, Nagpur MLA Nitin Deshmukh returned to Mumbai on Wednesday and said he had been taken to Surat without his consent. But in the evening, two more Sena lawmakers – along with two independents – landed in Guwahati and met Shinde, taking his tally to 31. To circumvent the anti-defection law and avoid disqualification, Shinde needs two-thirds of the Sena’s original strength, ie, 37 members. In his speech, Thackeray also targeted the rebel group. “Some people are alleging or creating an air that this is not the Shiv Sena that Balasaheb built. We are still taking forward his ideals. After Balasaheb passed away in 2012, we contested on our own in the 2014 polls. We had the same ideology of Hindutva then, we have the same today and will remain in the future. We got 63 MLA at that time, and some people enjoyed ministerial berths in that government. That too was Shiv Sena of Balasaheb,” said Thackeray, in a veiled jibe at Shinde. Shinde was given PWD (public utilities) portfolio in the Devendra Fadnavis government between 2014 and 2019.
Hours later, Shinde hit back, saying the MVA government boosted the alliance partners (NCP and Congress) but not Shiv Sena. “While allies grew stronger, Shiv Sena and Shiv Sainik were left demoralised,” he said, indicating he was unwilling to budge.
The BJP, which largely watched from the sidelines even as the rebels received police protection in two states ruled by the party, insisted it has nothing to do with the drama playing out within the Sena
“Congress and NCP will extend full support to MVA government. I also had a word with Sharad Pawar Ji who told me that NCP will continue supporting MVA...no other intent. I’m sure Shiv Sena rebels will not taint the state of Shivaji Maharaj,” Maharashtra Congress observer Kamal Nath said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/can-resign-but-will-next-cm-be-a-sainik-uddhav-thackeray-101655929744973.html | 2022-06-22T22:07:12Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/can-resign-but-will-next-cm-be-a-sainik-uddhav-thackeray-101655929744973.html | false | 2 |

Pyotr Tolstoy, head of the Russian delegation at the OSCE PA, said that the decision of the British government to not issue visas to the Russian delegation to participate in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA) summer session makes the decisions adopted in their absence "illegitimate and void" for Moscow, TASS reported. Tolstoy said that he has informed the members of the OSCE PA that the resolutions and decisions taken in their absence will be "illegitimate" and void." The State Duma Deputy Speaker said that Russia reserves the right to "withdraw" from the organisation which he stressed is being led by "Russophobes."
In the statement, Pyotr Tolstoy said that the organization led by "Russophobes" has been hindering the efforts of Russia on the parliamentary platform. He accused the British government of "rudely and categorically" not granting visas to delegations of parliamentarians from Russia and Belarus, as per the TASS report. Notably, the UK is all set to host the OSCE PA summer session from July 2 to 6 in Birmingham. He asserted that the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Leadership has been unable to "influence the politicized decisions" taken by the British authorities.
Earlier, First Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council's International Affairs Committee Vladimir Jabarov had announced that the British government did not grant visas to the Russian delegation to participate in the annual session of the OSCE PA. He stressed that the issue of removing the Russian delegation from the assembly could be raised in the annual session of the OSCE PA. Vladimir Jabarov emphasised that all the members of Russia’s Federal Assembly have been placed on the sanctions list by the United Kingdom.
Vladimir Jabarov said that they had called on the Assembly’s leadership to look into the matter regarding the visa of Russian lawmakers. He, however, said that the UK government did not issue the visa to the Russian delegation irrespective of the "purpose of their visit." He called Britain's decision against the Russian parliamentary delegation 'a direct and flagrant violation of the 2016 OSCE PA Declaration. It is pertinent to note here that ever since the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, UK government has been imposing sanctions against Moscow's lawmakers, entities and oligarchs. Furthermore, the British government has been supporting humanitarian, defence and economic support to Ukraine.

During a break between Golden State’s Western Conference finals games against Dallas, then-Warriors top assistant Mike Brown jumped on a plane to San Diego to watch his new star De’Aaron Fox work out and take the Sacramento guard and his family to lunch.
Brown got right back on a plane afterward to rejoin Golden State for playoff preparations.
At last Tuesday, Brown was formally introduced as the Kings’ new coach, just one day after celebrating the Warriors’ fourth championship in eight years with a victory parade through San Francisco.
“I’ve been heavily involved,” Brown said of getting going with the Kings as the schedule permitted. “I’ve talked to every single player on multiple occasions.”
Sacramento hired the well-traveled Brown in May but he stayed with the Warriors through their postseason run that ended with the franchise’s fourth championship in eight years last Thursday night in the clinching Game 6 at Boston.
“First of all, I’d like to start out by thanking everyone in Warrior land,” Brown said.
The 52-year-old Brown will be tasked with ending the league’s longest playoff drought ever at 16 years. He takes over for previous Warriors top assistant Luke Walton, hired by the Kings away from Golden State in 2019 before his firing last November. Alvin Gentry took over on an interim basis before the Kings finished 30-52.
Sacramento’s .366 winning percentage was its worst since the 2017-18 season.
Brown is determined to build a consistent winner in the state capital.
“One of the main reasons that I was brought here was to bring some leadership in a lot of different areas,” he said. “I’ve been with a lot of different teams in my 30 years. I’ve experienced something that I believe can get organizations over the top, not just in one year but year in and year out, and that’s having a winning culture. My job is to lead in that area. Every organization out there, in my opinion, has a soul. The stronger that soul is the better that organization will be.”
Brown previously had two stints as head coach in Cleveland, where he guided the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2007, and also coached the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since moving to Sacramento in 1985, the Kings have had only one stretch of success, making the playoffs in all eight seasons under coach Rick Adelman from 1999-2006. Adelman was fired in 2006 and remains the only coach in the Sacramento era to post a winning record in any season.
“We conducted in the front office here a very robust, thorough, comprehensive process,” Kings general manager Monte McNair said. “We wanted to ensure that we found the right coach. We did a lot of research and it came down to three key things for us: experience, successful head coaching experience, relationships, the ability to build relationships across the organization, and leadership — leadership as a head coach and leadership for everything that we’re trying to do here.”
On several occasions, Brown stepped in for Warriors coach Steve Kerr, most recently when Kerr dealt with COVID-19 and missed three playoff games.
Now, it’s time for a new chapter that he hopes will produce a regular contender much like where he has been.
And when someone congratulated Brown on the Warriors’ title, Brown showed off his signature warm smile and cracked: “Can you say that again?”
“I’ve got four,” he added, holding up four fingers and chuckling. | https://www.nba.com/news/mike-brown-introduced-determined-to-build-kings-into-consistent-winners | 2022-06-22T22:09:34Z | https://www.nba.com/news/mike-brown-introduced-determined-to-build-kings-into-consistent-winners | true | 19 |

(The Hill) – The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is pressing pause on its hearings for next week and picking up again in July.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the committee, told reporters Wednesday that they would hold off on the two final hearings it had planned for this month.
“There’s been a deluge of new evidence since we got started. And we just need to catch our breath, go through the new evidence, and then incorporate it into the hearings we have planned,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told reporters.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) similarly mentioned a “mountain of new information.”
“I don’t think we’ve established a date yet, but we have a mountain of new information that’s come in that we have to go through,” Lofgren told The Hill.
The committee has recently received more information from the National Archives, and Raskin said it has also received a “deluge” of information from various sources — a comment that comes after the committee flashed its web address in the hopes of enticing new witnesses.
The new evidence includes recently turned over video footage from a British documentarian of the attack as well as interviews with former President Trump, his adult children and former Vice President Mike Pence — a figure the committee has been unable to convince to speak to investigators.
The shift will leave Thursday’s hearing as the final event for the month of June. That session will focus on Trump’s pressure campaign at the Department of Justice.
