LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers selected Michigan State guard Max Christie with the 35th overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night.
The Lakers didn't have any picks until Thursday morning, when they acquired a high second-round selection from Orlando in a trade for cash considerations and a second-round pick in 2028. Los Angeles traded away both of its own 2022 selections back in 2019 while acquiring Anthony Davis.
The 6-foot-6 Christie averaged 9.3 points and 3.5 assists last year with the Spartans. Although he hit just 31.7% of his 3-point attempts, his smooth shot and improving wing defense attracted attention as he elected to head to the NBA after just one collegiate season.
Christie is a Chicago-area native, as are Davis and Lakers swingman Talen Horton-Tucker.
The Lakers have a solid history of finding NBA-caliber talent outside the upper reaches of the past six drafts, and their scouting department identified Christie as a depth addition who could contribute more in the future to a team perpetually in win-now mode with Davis and LeBron James.
While most NBA scouts were undecided whether Christie can contribute to an NBA team immediately, the Lakers need low-cost supporting personnel. Most of their payroll likely will be going to James, Davis and Russell Westbrook, who is expected to exercise his $47 million player option to return.
New Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham said he is eager to coach Westbrook, whose ineffective play last year in his Lakers debut was a primary reason the franchise finished 33-49 and missed the play-in tournament. Injuries also doomed the Lakers, who had James, Davis and Westbrook in their lineup together for only 21 games.

Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott's late son, Zen, would have turned 1 on Thursday, and the grieving parents took to Instagram to reveal they'll pay homage with a sweet gesture.
Alyssa posted a video montage of Zen set to the tune of Vince Gill's "Go Rest High on That Mountain." The video included some of Zen's cutest moments, from snippets of Alyssa holding Zen and her daughter hanging out with the baby boy in the crib to Zen smiling while donning Mickey Mouse pajamas.
Alyssa captioned the post, saying, "Happy heavenly birthday Zen. At the root of all the emotions I have today there is insurmountable love. I always try my best to remain positive but right now I can’t help but cry out 'it’s not suppose to be like this.'"
She added, "In my mind I can see him smashing his cake and crawling around, tugging at my legs. But the reality is I will be the one to blow out his first candle. I will wish he was still here with us. GO REST HIGH 🤍 We miss you in the physical Son but feel you spiritually and fulfilling with you eternally. Happy Birthday! We love you Zen."
Hours later, Nick reposted the same video and wrote in his caption, "#REPOST The loving, nurturing, irrefrangible and strength filled Amazing Mother @itsalyssaemm said it way better than I could ever."
Back in December, Nick announced on his since-canceled eponymous daytime talk show that his 5-month-old son died of brain cancer and a subsequent tumor. Nick and Alyssa welcomed Zen back in June 2021, making him Nick's seventh child.
"Over the weekend I lost my youngest son to a condition called hydrocephalus that is pretty much a malignant, midline brain tumor -- brain cancer," he said on his show. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydrocephalus "is the buildup of fluid in the cavities (ventricles) deep within the brain. The excess fluid increases the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain."
"I always noticed he had a cough and so I wanted to check it out," he said. "He had this interesting breathing and by the time he was two months I noticed he had this nice sized head too -- a Cannon head. We didn’t think anything of it. But I wanted to take him to the doctor for his sinus and breathing. We thought it would be routine."
Just days after Zen's tragic death, Alyssa also took to social media and shared the heartbreak she's enduring with an emotional tribute.
"Oh my sweet Zen. The soreness I felt in my arm from holding you is slowly fading away. It’s a painful reminder that you are no longer here," Alyssa wrote in the emotional tribute. "I caught myself looking in the backseat as I was driving only to see the mirror no longer reflecting your perfect face back at me. When I close a door too loudly I hold my breath and wince knowing a soft cry will shortly follow. It doesn’t come. The silence is deafening."
"These last 5 months we have been in this race together. We would hand the baton off to each other. You kept me going," she continued. "It would be the middle of the night and you would smile at me. A surge of energy would fill my body and pure joy would radiate from within me. We were a team, both determined to see it through. It feels unbearable running without you now. I can’t."

All 33 major US banks pass Fed's annual 'stress tests'
This year's criteria involved handling a doubling of the unemployment rate, a contraction in real estate and huge stock market losses
The nation’s major banks are in good shape and can withstand a severe economic contraction, the Federal Reserve determined Thursday.
The 33 largest banks received a passing grade from the Federal Reserve following the latest annual "stress tests."
This year's scenario was being able to handle an unemployment rate that would more than double to 10%, a severe contraction in commercial real estate and stock market values that could cause losses of more than $600 billion.
Even in with those variables, the banks would still, on average, have a capital ratio 9.7%, well above the 4.5% required by law, the Fed said. Capital ratios are used as a measure of how strong a cushion a bank holds against unexpected losses.

With B.C. wildfires fires only predicted to get worse in the coming years, a panel of University of B.C. experts is calling for a more proactive approach to wildfire management.
After the three worst fire seasons on record occurred over the last five years, learning to live with wildfires should be at the forefront of prevention efforts, the group said in a news release Thursday (June 23).
“This means changing our ways of thinking and recognizing that we should approach wildfire management the same way we approach preparing for other natural disasters like earthquakes or floods—we don’t try to fight them; we proactively plan for the eventuality,” said UBC forestry researcher Lori Daniels.
Planning strategies should include policy that prioritizes risk reduction like prescribed burning, a traditional Indigenous practice.
“We need to consistently and meaningfully support Indigenous-led land stewardship at all levels,” Daniels said. “This includes reintroducing cultural burns to establishing a national Indigenous fire stewardship group in Canada.”
Along with the disruption of Indigenous stewardship, policies of fire suppression and climate change have changed the forests so they burn stronger and hotter.
Since the start of 2022, there have been 170 wildfires in B.C., according to provincial stats.
The panel is recommending more investment from the government to build FireSmart infrastructure. This includes everything from fire-resistant roofing to diversifying landscapes to be less fire-prone.
The researchers caution that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, but educating yourself can make all the difference.
“We are living in a new era of wildfires, and so we must think about how to co-exist with fire,” Daniels said. | https://www.coastmountainnews.com/news/learning-to-live-with-wildfires-should-be-at-core-of-prevention-efforts-experts-urge/ | 2022-06-24T05:22:16Z | https://www.coastmountainnews.com/news/learning-to-live-with-wildfires-should-be-at-core-of-prevention-efforts-experts-urge/ | false | 12 |
Museum’s new tiny treasure is small change
A tiny coin which lay buried beneath the Yorkshire soil for more than 1,300 years has been banked by a Leeds museum.
The ancient treasure is an example of a sceat, among the littlest coins ever made in Britain, and was unearthed by an eagle-eyed detectorist on a patch of local land.
After formally being declared treasure, it has been secured for the collection at Leeds City Museum, where a fascinating exhibition is exploring the remarkable story of money.
Made of silver, the coin dates from around 700 AD and, centuries ago, was pierced by its early Saxon owner, perhaps so it could be threaded and worn around the neck as a pendant.
Measuring less than 12mm in diameter, its intricate design includes a crowned head facing right, and on the reverse a beaded pattern with the letters TOTII, obscured by the pierced hole and some later damage. It may have been worn around the neck as protection or as a spiritual symbol.
Pierced sceattas (the plural for sceats) are uncommon and coins of this type are typically centred on the east and north-east of Kent, suggesting the Leeds example may have been a copy made at the time.
Kat Baxter, Leeds Museums and Galleries’ curator of archaeology and numismatics, said: “Like many of the remarkable coins in our collection, the sceat is a tiny object which has a surprisingly big story to tell.
“More than 1,300 years ago, someone decided they wanted to wear it as a piece of jewellery because it meant something specific and personal to them. Even after so many centuries buried in the ground, just seeing it today gives us a very real and direct connection to that person and reminds us of the history underneath our feet.
“It also helps us to understand more about the concept of value, and how we have assigned it to money and objects over the centuries for both their intrinsic worth and their symbolic meaning. We’re extremely grateful to responsible metal detectorists who uncover such interesting finds, and work with the Portable Antiquities Scheme to record them.”
The sceat acquisition coincided with Money Talks at Leeds City Museum, which explores the evolution of money and how our relationship with it has changed.
More than 30,000 people have already visited the exhibition, which closes this weekend.
Objects on display include ancient coin hoards, unusual examples of money from around the world as well as popular toys and games which have featured money and banking.
One much larger example includes some Swedish plate money, used in the 17th Century, which took the form of printed copper plates equal to the value of the currency it represented. The excessive weight inspired the adoption of a more manageable paper substitute.
Also on display is a plaster model of a shilling from Ireland, dating from before 1928. The sculptor, Percy Metcalfe, designed the Irish Free State coinage of 1928. Some of his designs featured animals important to Ireland’s economy, such as the bull, hare, salmon and Irish wolfhound.
This exhibition is sponsored by Leeds Building Society which was founded in 1875 by people working together to save and put home ownership within reach generation after generation.
Councillor Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council’s executive member for economy, culture and education, said: “Fascinating stories like this one are a powerful reminder of the value of museums, particularly their ability to capture our imaginations and inspire us to think about the connections we share with the people who have lived in Leeds long before us.
“It’s great to see museums and their exhibitions inspiring new additions to the collection which can now be part of telling those stories to future generations.”
Money Talks at Leeds City Museum is free to visit and is open until June 26. For more details, please visit: https://museumsandgalleries.leeds.gov.uk/events/leeds-city-museum/money-talks

From Boyd v. United States (1886), an early case that read the Fourth and Fifth Amendments broadly, indeed more broadly than they have been read since:. As, therefore, suits for penalties and forfeitures incurred by the commission of offences against the law, are of this quasi-criminal nature, we think that they are within the reason of criminal proceedings for all the purposes of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, and of that portion of the Fifth Amendment which declares that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself; and we are further of opinion that a compulsory production of the private books and papers of the owner of goods sought to be forfeited in such a suit is compelling him to be a witness against himself, within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, and is the equivalent of a search and seizure—and an unreasonable search and seizure—within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Though the proceeding in question is divested of many of the aggravating incidents of actual search and seizure, yet, as before said, it contains their substance and essence, and effects their substantial purpose. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2643108620300/federal-court-overturns-epa-s-decision-that-glyphosate-registration-is-lawful | 2022-06-24T05:28:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2643108620300/federal-court-overturns-epa-s-decision-that-glyphosate-registration-is-lawful | false | 3 |
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – This month the U.S. Inflation rate has reached its highest point in over 40 years, and retired teachers are feeling the impact.
Retired teachers are coming together with their worries ranging from keeping the lights on and fear of accidents in the future.
“From last month to this month, the electricity bill has doubled. Water bill has doubled. Insurance has gone up. I was paying $188 and it’s now $240,” said Lydia Carrillo, a retired school teacher.
Retiring in 2014, she’s no longer teaching but she’s had to get a part-time job, and is now back to full-time work.
“It’s hard when you’re retired and trying to keep up working long hours like I used to. It’s not the same.”
Retiring on a set pension, the state’s teacher retirement system hasn’t made a cost of living adjustment since 2013 only benefiting those who retired before 2004.
“If your income hasn’t gone up as much as inflation, you’re going to have to make some choices. That may be spending a little bit less in one place in order to do something else,” say Ray Perryman, Economist from The Perryman Group.
“Right now, I have friends who are without hot water right now because they can’t afford a water heater,” said Carrillo.
Carrillo is a member of the Texas American Federation of Teachers and is working with state legislature to find a solution to this problem.
“They do know the data. They have the statistics. It’s a matter of coming up with a formula that will help. When does that happen,” said Carrillo.
Carillo also shares cafeteria workers and bus drivers who have retired are also impacted.
For anyone who has retired from the school system, the Texas American Federation of Teachers has a newly formed retiree group.

In a remarkable reversal of tradition, some Republicans have proposed a generous, broad-based federal benefit that Democrats are likely to oppose because it soaks the rich — their rich.
U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and his GOP colleagues Richard Burr of North Carolina and Steve Daines of Montana, have created what they call the Family Security Act 2.0. The bill would revive one of the best parts of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better proposal, its permanent expansion of the child tax credit. It would provide the credit in a different and more useful form, a pure cash benefit as opposed to a credit against taxes owed.
And it would do so without costing the federal government a dime. The proposal would be completely paid for by reform of the confusing earned income tax credit (EITC) and, most importantly, repeal of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. | https://www.iolaregister.com/opinion/editorials/democrats-should-support-romney-bill | 2022-06-24T05:37:40Z | https://www.iolaregister.com/opinion/editorials/democrats-should-support-romney-bill | true | 1 |
GOP unity? Some aim for reconciliation after tough primaries
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Two days after losing a bitter primary to a rival she once deemed a "sellout" for occasionally working with Democrats, Katie Arrington appeared at a "unity rally" to urge South Carolina Republicans to come together and back Rep. Nancy Mace in the fall general election.
Republicans, Arrington said, "may fight like banshees inside the house, but once we walk out that door, it's one team, one fight."
The cordial tone was striking in a Republican Party increasingly defined by an absolutist approach to politics. Former President Donald Trump, who backed Arrington, once refused to commit to supporting his GOP rivals if they emerged on top in the 2016 presidential primary. Since then, the party's win-at-all-costs mentality has only deepened as any nods at compromise are rejected.
Sen. John Cornyn, for instance, was jeered at the Texas Republican convention last week after working with Democrats on modest changes to gun laws after a school massacre in the state last month. Eric Greitens, a GOP Senate candidate in Missouri, released an ad this week depicting him with a gun as he goes "hunting" for so-called RINOs, which stands for Republicans In Name Only. The video was so graphic that Facebook removed it and Twitter prevented it from being shared.
That's what made the scene in South Carolina so notable. Aware that the coastal congressional district is one of the few places in the state where Democrats have been competitive, Republicans said it was important to move past the party's internal divisions.
"We need to put our weight behind a selected candidate that most of the people wanted and be unified in that," said Roger O´Sullivan, a Mount Pleasant retiree who had voted for Arrington, but will support Mace going forward. "It´s not going to happen tonight, but it has to certainly happen by November."

Charleston-area voter JoAnne Knapp also expressed optimism for 1st District Republicans to come together even if they don't always agree, likening the division to a union of spouses who maintain their individual viewpoints, yet compromise when necessary.
"It´s kind of like a marriage," Knapp said. "If you stay steadfast in your ways, it´s not going to last."
Mace has angered many Republicans with her criticism of Trump, particularly after he sparked the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The violence, which unfolded during Mace's first week in office, undermined Trump's "entire legacy," she said at the time. And while she's a reliable conservative vote in Congress, she's occasionally worked with Democrats on issues such as advocating for the LGBTQ community, legalizing marijuana and strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure.
Acknowledging that "people still feel very passionate" about the direction of the GOP, Charleston County Republican Chairman Maurice Washington said he was "optimistic" that the party could unite against Democrat Annie Andrews in the fall.
"We´ve got to rid the party of `old guard, new guard,´ and lose that term, `RINOs,´" Washington said, of the moniker for those not seen by some as true conservatives. "That´s not about unity, that´s about trust. And unless we bridge that trust gap, along with the unity gap, we´re not going to be successful. ... But this is a good start."
Beyond South Carolina, other Republicans have made some effort to bring the party together after a difficult primary. After being soundly defeated in Georgia's GOP contest for governor last month, the Trump-backed David Perdue said he trusted voters and would "make damn sure" that Republicans defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams in the general election.
But some GOP efforts to encourage reconciliation have not always worked out as planned. At an event last month intended to rally Republicans around the party´s nominee for governor in Nebraska, the Trump-backed candidate in the race, Charles Herbster, made only a brief appearance and left without endorsing the winner, Jim Pillen.
And earlier this week in Alabama's Senate runoff, Rep. Mo Brooks acknowledged that the "voters have spoken" in choosing Katie Britt as the GOP nominee. But, he added, "they might not have spoken wisely."
And even in South Carolina, Arrington took a sharper tone just one day after the unity event. She called into a Charleston-area radio show to vow that, while she is "all for unity in the party" and would work to ensure Mace´s reelection, she would also "rally up" her supporters to impress upon Mace their viewpoint that she needs to tilt away from being conciliatory with Democrats.
"The only way to make her accountable is to stay on her," Arrington said.
"I´m going to become Nancy Mace´s worst nightmare," she continued. "She is going to have to understand that we are not going to be complacent. ... I want a Republican to be successful, but I want a conservative Republican to be successful."

More than 8 million households across the UK will receive a cash payment from next month to ease the rising cost of living pressures, it has been announced. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said that claimants could benefit from the offer as soon as next month.
The first instalment of the £650 will land in bank accounts from July 14, continuing to the end of the month, reports Daily Record. People who claim both a means-tested benefit and Tax Credits from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will receive the £326 from DWP next month.
Claimants who only receive either Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credit will receive the first of their two payments later this year - a date has still to be announced. However, some people are still unsure if the payment for £326 is for an individual or if it’s per household.

Is the £650 cost of living payment per person or per household?
Forget the overall £650 payment for a minute.
This focuses on the upcoming payment for £326 because the qualifying date for the Autumn payment has not been announced and claimants’ circumstances may change between now and then.
The payment depends on your household circumstances:
- If you claim as an individual for any of the qualifying means-tested benefits - you will get one payment for £326 in July
- If you, claim as a couple for any of the qualifying means-tested benefits - you will get one payment for £326 in July
Essentially, this is the equivalent of one payment per claim.
Mixed households
Here's an example of a mixed household to help you understand who will qualify for the July payment. Four people live in a mixed household, two are claiming a qualifying benefit jointly as a couple, the other two adults have two separate claims.
Who gets what?
- Three payments for £326 will be made to the household in July - one for the couple, one each for the other two adults
- This is a total of three claims for four people under one roof, which means three payments.
We put this example to the DWP as mixed households were the most common query being asked about on Facebook. DWP said: “As long as the people in the house-share get their own separate Universal Credit claims already - so the couple have one claim, the two other adults have one claim each - giving a total of three claims in the house then, yes, it’ll be three payments to match the three claims.”

There are times when we can be inspired by observing examples of absolute integrity and honesty. Then there are times when we can be inspired toward Everyday Emes by seeing the consequences of actions and behaviors that we should avoid.
The concept of “dover emes bilvavo – being truthful in one’s own heart” can apply in many varied fields and areas.
Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l in his comments on the siddur derives a remarkable lesson. In the davening directly before the recitation of the Korbanos, the siddur states that a person should be a G-d-fearing person both in public and in private and that he should also always be “dover emes bilvavo” – speak truth in his heart. From the fact that the siddur felt the need to say that one should speak truth in his heart after it just said that one should be G-d fearing in public and private, Rav Chaim notes that it is possible for a person to fear heaven both publicly and privately, and yet still not speak truth in one’s own heart. This is possible because of the biases that we may harbor that can cloud our judgment.
In one particular hospital in a foreign country, there was a patient on a heart-lung machine who was in a vegetative state. The attending physician stated that there was nothing further that could be done for the patient and that he should be disconnected from life- support.
A young resident who was present suggested that a certain operation be attempted on the chance that it may relieve the underlying condition. The Chief Physician, who was known for his medical acumen and brilliance, however, refused the young resident’s suggestion.
The young resident brought his suggestion up again in front of the other senior physicians who said, “What do we have to lose?”
The operation was a success and the patient fully recovered. The Chief Physician however, never forgave the young resident and never spoke to him again. The Chief Physician eventually fell into obscurity. All of this happened, unfortunately, because he could not bring himself to admit that the young resident was right. Sometimes, even an expert can chas veshalom fall victim to not being able to admit error.

Lead Architects : Onorato di Manno, Andrea Tanci
Text description provided by the architects. Skyframe is a site-specific pop-up installation, designed for the fourth edition of FAR, the Architecture Festival of Rome. The installation is located in the Ostiense district, specifically in Piazza del Gazometro: an area strongly characterized by the presence of industrial archeology buildings of the twentieth century. The concept is inspired by the pure volumes and elementary geometric shapes of the paintings of the artistic movement “Novecento”.
Skyframe is conceived as a landmark, 5 meters high, capable of attracting passers-by and transforming the daily use of the square into a new individual experience of public space. Externally, the architectural object has a double nature: the XLam structure characterizes the base with a strong natural character, while the upper part is iridescent and reflects the shades of the sky and the surrounding urban landscape, thanks to the use of a coating “Rockpanel Platinum” panels.
The installation is therefore constantly changing and takes on ever-changing reflections and shades as the light changes, at different times of the day. The internal space, 160x160 cm square, is mono-material and features XLam walls that plant a telescope that frames the sky. The access is outlined by four portals that allow free and dynamic use of the architectural object.
The internal space, intimate and compressed, leads the visitor to look up and admire the sky of Rome at a precise moment of the day. Skyframe is configured as an interactive urban device that modifies the ordinary dynamics of the use of public space, showing how architecture can offer new ways of experiencing the city.
The social media project: The visitor can take their own photo of the Rome sky and share it using the #skyframerome hashtag or tagging the Instagram page @skyframerome. Every single photo will become part of a piece of a larger collection generated from the images of the various users. | https://www.archdaily.com/983989/skyframe-installation-set-architects | 2022-06-24T05:55:37Z | https://www.archdaily.com/983989/skyframe-installation-set-architects | true | 1 |

US Senate passes landmark gun violence bill
US Senate passes landmark gun violence bill
Washington: The Senate easily approved a bipartisan gun violence bill Thursday that seemed unthinkable a month ago, setting up final approval of what will be Congress' most far-reaching response in decades to the nation's run of brutal mass shootings.
After years futile Democratic efforts to curb firearms, 15 Republicans joined with them as both sides decided inaction was untenable after last month's rampages in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas. It took weeks of closed-door talks but senators emerged with a compromise embodying incremental but impactful movement to curb bloodshed that has come to regularly shock — yet no longer surprise — the nation.
The $13 billion measure would toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states put in place red flag laws that make it easier for authorities to take weapons from people adjudged dangerous. It would also fund local programs for school safety, mental health and violence prevention.
"Families in Uvalde and Buffalo, and too many tragic shootings before, have demanded action. And tonight, we acted," President Joe Biden said after passage. He said the House should send it to him quickly, adding, "Kids in schools and communities will be safer because of it."
The election-year package fell far short of more robust gun restrictions Democrats have sought and Republicans have thwarted for years, including bans on the assault-type weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines used in the slayings in Buffaloand Uvalde. Yet the accord let leaders of both parties declare victory and demonstrate to voters that they know how to compromise and make government work, while also leaving room for each side to appeal to its core supporters.
"This is not a cure-all for the all the ways gun violence affects our nation," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., whose party has made gun restrictions a goal for decades. "But it is a long overdue step in the right direction."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in a nod to the Second Amendment right to bear arms that drives many conservative voters, said "the American people want their constitutional rights protected and their kids to be safe in school." He said "they want both of those things at once, and that is just what the bill before the Senate will have accomplished."

The day proved bittersweet for advocates of curtailing gun violence. Underscoring the enduring potency of conservative cIout, the right-leaning Supreme Court issued a decision expanding the right of Americans to carry arms in public by striking down a New York law requiring people to prove a need for carrying a weapon before they get a license to do so.
McConnell hailed the justices' decision and Senate passage of the guns bill as "complementary victories that will make our country freer and safer at the same time."
The Senate vote on final passage was 65-33. A cluster of House Democrats who watched the vote in the chamber's rear included Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Ga., whose 17-year old son was shot to death in 2012 by a man complaining his music was too loud.
In the key roll call hours earlier, senators voted 65-34 to end a filibuster by conservative GOP senators. That was five more than the 60-vote threshold needed. The House planned to vote Friday and approval seemed certain. On both votes, 15 Senate Republicans joined all 50 Democrats, including their two allied independents, in backing the legislation.
Yet the votes highlighted the risks Republicans face by defying the party's pro-gun voters and firearms groups like the National Rifle Association. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Todd Young of Indiana were the only two of the 15 up for reelection this fall. Of the rest, four are retiring and eight don't face voters until 2026.
Tellingly, GOP senators voting "no" included potential 2024 presidential contenders like Ted Cruz of Texas, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Tim Scott of South Carolina. Some of the party's most conservative members voted "no" as well, including Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah. Cruz said the legislation would "disarm law-abiding citizens rather than take serious measures to protect our children."
John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, hailed senators who supported the measure for "coming together and putting the safety of the American people ahead of gun lobby priorities." While the Senate measure was a clear breakthrough, the outlook for continued congressional movement on gun curbs is dim.
Less than one-third of the Senate's 50 GOP senators backed the measure and solid Republican opposition is certain in the House. Top House Republicans urged a "no" vote in an email from the No. 2 GOP leader, Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, that called the bill "an effort to slowly chip away at law-abiding citizens' 2nd Amendment rights."
Both chambers — now narrowly controlled by Democrats — could well be run by the GOP after November's midterm elections. Senate action came one month after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde. Just days before that, a white man was accused of being motivated by racism as he killed 10 Black grocery shoppers in Buffalo.
Both shooters were 18 years old, a youthful profile shared by many mass shooters, and the close timing of the two slaughters and victims with whom many could identify stirred a demand by voters for action, lawmakers of both parties said.
The talks were led by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C. Murphy represented Newtown, Connecticut, when an assailant killed 20 students and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, while Cornyn has been involved in past gun talks following mass shootings in his state and is close to McConnell.
Murphy said the measure would save thousands of lives and was a chance to "prove to a weary American public that democracy is not so broken that it is unable to rise to the moment." "I don't believe in doing nothing in the face of what we saw in Uvalde" and elsewhere, Cornyn said.
The bill would make the local juvenile records of people age 18 to 20 available during required federal background checks when they attempt to buy guns. Those examinations, currently limited to three days, would last up to a maximum of 10 days to give federal and local officials time to search records.
People convicted of domestic abuse who are current or former romantic partners of the victim would be prohibited from acquiring firearms, closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole." That ban currently only applies to people married to, living with or who have had children with the victim. The compromise bill would extend that to those considered to have had "a continuing serious relationship."
There would be money to help states enforce red flag laws and for other states without them that for violence prevention programs. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have such laws.
The measure expands the use of background checks by rewriting the definition of the federally licensed gun dealers required to conduct them. Penalties for gun trafficking are strengthened, billions of dollars are provided for behavioral health clinics and school mental health programs and there's money for school safety initiatives, though not for personnel to use a "dangerous weapon."

While The Boys is a show known for its hardcore violence, the third season is also upping the ante when it comes to nudity. Following on from the introduction of a butt-naked Soldier Boy, the show's official Twitter account is now teasing an exceptionally graphic superhero orgy scene which will take the series to gratuitous heights, even by its own lurid standards.
Based on the "Herogasm" story from the source comics, the episode of the same name will feature multiple superpowered characters engaging in all kinds of sex acts, including "airborne penetration, dildo-based maiming, extra strength lube, icicle phalluses and cursing."
Showrunner Eric Kripke elaborated on the upcoming "Herogasm"—which is bound to break the internet—in a recent interview with TVLine, saying: "It's probably one of the more graphic hours of mainstream television that I think anyone will have seen... I think you have to really turn to porn to see things that are more graphic."
This is a pretty bold claim on Kripke's part, given that Season 3 opened with a pretty graphic scene of a slightly different nature. In the season premiere, fans were introduced to Termite, a supe with Ant-Man-like powers who is able to shrink and grow in size. In a now-unforgettable sequence, Termite shifted down to miniscule size and went inside his lover's penis to provide sexual stimulation... but due to an abundance of cocaine in the scene, he sneezed, reverting back to his usual size and exploding his partner from the inside out.
Kripke elaborated that "Herogasm" is one of the "most ambitious" episodes they have attempted to date, not only for its sexual content, but for the "major" twists and turns that the plot will take. "We wanted it to be like,'OK, oh wow, this is an event for several reasons,'" he said. | https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40392408/the-boys-herogasm-content-warning/ | 2022-06-24T06:08:12Z | https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40392408/the-boys-herogasm-content-warning/ | false | 1 |

“It means a lot of things,” he added. “It means that when we commit, when a wish actually happens, it’s something that somebody wants. And we are the goal, and the joy on his face.”
Back in November 2019, after Cena granted 600 wishes, he also talked about how he had told make-a-wish that he intends to prioritize his charity work over his career.
“I said, ‘If I’m ever needed for this ever, I don’t care what I’m doing, I’m going to drop what I’m doing and get involved because I think it’s the coolest thing,'” the star of suicide squad a People at that moment. “We’ve all experienced that joy of giving a holiday gift where you just hit the nail on the head – that’s the same gift I get from bringing people back to life, being able to give them wonderful emotional moments.” | https://d1softballnews.com/john-cena-breaks-the-make-a-wish-record-and-grants-more-than-650-wishes/ | 2022-06-24T06:21:06Z | https://d1softballnews.com/john-cena-breaks-the-make-a-wish-record-and-grants-more-than-650-wishes/ | true | 1 |
Chris Pratt reacts to controversy over him being cast as Mario in Super Mario Bros. film as he's not of Italian heritage
Chris Pratt opened up on the discussion of his landing the role of Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. film, as he's not of Italian heritage.
The Minnesota native, 43, spoke with Variety Wednesday about the notion some people could be put off by the accent he uses to play the famed video game plumber, as a number of people took to social media last fall skeptical of the casting decision.
'I worked really closely with the directors and trying out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of,' Pratt said, 'and can’t wait for people to see and hear.'
The latest: Chris Pratt, 43, opened up on the discussion of his landing the role of Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. film, as he's not Italian. He was snapped Wednesday in LA
The Guardians Of The Galaxy leading man clarified that the film is 'not a live-action movie' but 'an animated voiceover narrative,' adding, 'I’m not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. '
The Jurassic World Dominion actor said he's 'providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you’ve heard in the Mario world before.'
One of the film's producers, Chris Meledandri, told TooFab last November, said of Pratt's performance: 'All I can tell you is the voice that he's doing for us, and Mario, is phenomenal. Yeah I can't wait for people to hear it.'
Meledandri said that 'as an Italian-American,' he understood 'the comments,' adding that 'Charlie Day, who's playing Luigi, actually comes from Italian heritage. Yeah so that's our nod.'

Pratt said of his work in the film, 'I worked really closely with the directors and trying out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of and can’t wait for people to see and hear'
Meledandri told the outlet that the accent issue would be covered 'in the movie,' adding, 'So you'll see we definitely nod to that.'
He said that Pratt would not be saying phrases such as 'It's a-me, Mario,' noting, 'That's not the tenor of the performance throughout the film.'
In addition to Pratt and Day, the film's cast will include Jack Black as Bowser, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, and Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, among others.

Which weed killer for flower beds is best?
Weeds in your flower beds are not only unsightly, but they also steal water, nutrients and sunlight from your flowers. If you pull weeds out or cut them down, they only grow back, which is why you need a weed killer, also known as an herbicide.
The ideal weed killer would be easily applied to the entire bed, killing every type of weed without harming a single flower. It hasn’t yet been invented yet, so look for the one that best meets your needs. If you are looking for a weed killer gel that applies like a stick deodorant, take a look at the Roundup Precision Gel Weed and Grass Killer.
What to know before you buy a weed killer for flower beds
How do weed killers work?
Potent chemicals in weed killers are absorbed by plants through their leaves, roots or both. Once inside the weed, the roots die first, then the leaves and stems. You can see the leaves show spots, turn brown and droop soon after the weed killer is applied. Most weeds take anywhere from three to seven days to shrivel up and die. Once they have dried out, they can easily be removed from your flower bed, along with their dead roots.
Form
- Liquids are the most effective weed killers.
- Gels have the advantage of sticking to weeds’ leaves and stems better than liquids but are much more costly.
- Powders are used to coat plants with a layer of dust and are best for treating large areas. Their big disadvantage is that they’re easily blown onto nearby flowers.
- Granules are also used mostly for covering large areas. They can be shaken from a container or used in a device that scatters them.
Type of application
- Spray: Spraying lets you apply weed killer directly to your targets with a minimum of fuss and without harming nearby flowers.
- Spreader: Powdered and granular weed killers are spread across large areas with the same devices used to broadcast seeds and fertilizers. Avoid weed killers that are applied this way because they will kill your flowers, too.
- Direct: Gels are applied directly to the weeds without coming in contact with your flowers. As with spraying, direct application lets you coat leaves and stems thoroughly.
Glyphosate
This is the most common chemical used in weed killers. If you use herbicides containing glyphosate, you will need to apply the poison with great care so you do not harm your flowers. Glyphosate works only on the leaves of living plants and cannot stop weed seeds from germinating and growing. When used according to directions on product labels, glyphosate does not pose any risk to adults.
What to look for in a quality weed killer for flower beds
What weeds is your weed killer best at killing?
Most gardeners don’t know as much about weeds as they do about flowers. Those who do can choose weed killers designed to target the specific weeds that invade their flower beds. Those who want to protect against all invasive weeds should choose general-purpose herbicides made to kill a wide variety of weeds.
How long will an application of weed killer last?
Look for weed killers formulated to continue to kill weeds for weeks and months. They generally cost more, but the need for less-frequent reapplication will pay off in the long run.s
Rain resistance
Sometimes rain comes right after you’ve applied weed killer. If yours is not rainproof, it will wash away before it can do its job. Look for promotional and packaging information that tells you how well the weed killer stands up to rain.
Dedicated sprayers
Many weed killers come in gallon jugs with built-in sprayers. Weeds are a never-ending menace, so serious gardeners buy separate sprayers and fill them with concentrate.
How much you can expect to spend on a weed killer for flower beds
Prices are determined mostly by the size of the container. Quart-size bottles of concentrate cost $10-$20. Gallon jugs with spray mechanisms cost $10-$30. The exception is gels, where 5-ounce sticks cost $25-$30.
Weed killer for flower beds FAQ
Can I use any kind of weed killer on my flower beds?
A. It is best to use only weed killers that say they are safe to use in close proximity to flowers and other vegetation.
Can a product that kills weeds be safe for humans?
A. You will be safe if you follow all the directions printed on the label. Wearing gloves and a mask is always a good idea around any kind of poison or harsh chemicals.

Father’s Day in Cuba without Cigarettes
By Nike
HAVANA TIMES – We all know that cigarettes are bad for our health. But there are lots of smokers in Cuba. Just imagine, the land of tobacco without any cigarettes in stores and bodegas. Shortages in Cuba always begin with things that we produce nationally, I don’t know why.
The thing I do know is that lots of Cubans have the bad habit of smoking cigarettes, especially men and young people. Sunday was Father’s Day and on top of the list of shortages – such as not being able to drink a beer like so many fathers enjoy because it costs 200 Cuban pesos, or not being able to eat a piece of pork, as well as so many other things -, well there’s also the shortage of packs of cigarettes.
Aware of this, I went to every cafe in town to look for a pack of cigarettes for my husband. Despite being against encouraging this addiction, I tried to make an exception because it was Father’s Day and seeing as we can’t do anything else but have a family lunch, without beer and pork, I wanted to give him the pleasure of being able to light up a little after coffee.
A young woman at one of the cafes I visited told me that they didn’t have any, that I shouldn’t waste my time and gave me the address for a house where she bought a pack for 200 Cuban pesos.
That’s when I decided to buy him some cigars for 25 pesos each and roll some cigarettes for him out of them, we call these kinds of cigarettes Brevas o Tupamaros. That’s exactly what I did, and my husband was able to spend Father’s Day without the anxiety he gets from the withdrawal of nicotine in his blood.
I don’t agree with my husband’s habit of smoking, he’s even thinking of giving it up, but I understand he can’t do it cold turkey, that he needs to reduce the number of cigarettes he smokes slowly. I also understand that to give up an age-old addiction, you need a moment of peace, and I hope this moment comes soon because I’m sure there are many fathers who will lose their lungs to this crisis.
Smokers roam the streets like crazy. A woman approximately my age, dressed like a nurse, overheard me asking for cigarettes in the cafe and told me that she’d come from a store where they told her that they wouldn’t sell them to her, even if she was dressed like a surgeon, because she’d already got her rations-worth for this month.
Another smoker, a man this time, asked me if there were cigarettes anywhere to be found. I told him there weren’t and told him about the cigar alternative. I don’t think he liked the idea all too much. Smokers prefer their Criollos, H Upmann or Populares. These are Cuban brands of strong cigarettes that addicts like.
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of the fathers at Havana Times and among our readers, a very happy Father’s Day! | https://havanatimes.org/diaries/nike/fathers-day-in-cuba-without-cigarettes/ | 2022-06-24T06:37:19Z | https://havanatimes.org/diaries/nike/fathers-day-in-cuba-without-cigarettes/ | true | 1 |
By Sam NusseyTOKYO:
SoftBank Group Corp's founder and Chief Executive
Masayoshi Son on Friday reiterated the Japanese conglomerate was most likely to list British-based chip designer unit
Arm on Nasdaq, while stressing no decision has been made.
"Most of Arm's clients are based in
Silicon Valley and ... stock markets in the U.S. would love to have Arm," Son told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting.
Son said there were also requests to list Arm in London without elaborating on where they came from. The entrepreneur did not say whether the conglomerate is considering a secondary listing for Arm there.
The billionaire spent much of his presentation emphasising the business prospects for Arm, which the company has pivoted to listing following the collapse of an agreed sale to
Nvidia.
The Cambridge-based firm was listed in Britain with a secondary listing in the United States prior to its acquisition by SoftBank in 2016 for $32 billion.
Arm is an important source of capital for SoftBank, which has borrowed $8 billion against the unit's shares, in addition to procuring $13.2 billion using shares in Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd in prepaid forward contracts.
Son is under pressure from shareholders as valuations of the high-growth stocks he favours as investment targets fall and interest rates rise, with SoftBank's Vision Fund unit reporting a record loss in May.
SoftBank's shares have fallen by around a third since last year's annual general meeting. Son called on shareholders to take the long view on the company.
"Peaches and chestnuts take three years and persimmons take eight years, even fruit takes that long," Son said, quoting a Japanese proverb. "I'm confident if you wait five to 10 years there will be something delicious."
More than 40 years after founding the company, Son asserted his continuing fitness for his role as one of Japan's highest profile business leaders, joking that even if he can no longer drive as far on the golf course, he still isn't losing games.
"I'm still full of enthusiasm, confidence and dreams," the 64-year-old told shareholders.
"It's only my hair that's in retreat," Son said. | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/softbanks-son-says-nasdaq-listing-most-likely-for-chip-designer-arm/92428920 | 2022-06-24T06:37:19Z | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/softbanks-son-says-nasdaq-listing-most-likely-for-chip-designer-arm/92428920 | false | 7 |

TOKYO (AP) — The U.S. Navy’s top commander in the Pacific and the Japanese defense minister on Friday said that close cooperation between their naval forces is more important than ever in the region amid rising tensions over China, North Korea and Russia.
Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi told U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Sam Paparo that the American naval presence in the region is indispensable to maintain and strengthen a “free and open” Indo-Pacific, a vision of a rules-based framework that the two allies have promoted as a counter to China's rise.
Kishi noted that the regional security environment has further worsened since last year when Paparo took the post and said cooperation between the Japanese and U.S. navies “is only increasing.”
Paparo agreed that the security challenge is growing in the Pacific, adding that “tight coordination and integration" between the two navies “have paced and outpaced our potential adversary's operation.” Paparo said the Japan and U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of security in the Pacific.
After a decade of steady increases in military spending, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishi has pledged to further bolster Japan's military capability and spending over the next five years, while his government works on a revision to the national security strategy.
Japan's Defense Ministry has reported growing joint naval activity by Chinese and Russian warships around the Japanese coasts. Japanese authorities say Chinese coast guard ships repeatedly infiltrate the territorial waters around the Japanese-controlled East China Sea near the Senkaku Islands, which Beijing also claims and calls Diaoyu.
North Korea, which is advancing its missile and nuclear development, has test-fired missiles 17 times this year and there is growing speculation it is preparing another nuclear test explosion.

OT Caleb Lomu talks recent USC offer, visit and where Trojans stand
GILBERT, Ariz. -- USC jumped fully into three-star offensive tackle Caleb Lomu's recruitment rather late in the process, offering the Gilbert, Ariz., prospect during his unofficial visit to campus earlier this month.
But it sounds like the appeal of that Trojans offer and the Lincoln Riley factor were enough to get Lomu's attention and give him plenty to think about nonetheless.
"When I got that offer I was pretty excited. I talked to Lincoln Riley, he's a great dude. They said that they really want me," Lomu told TrojanSports.com. "They were excited to have me up there. I really wasn't expecting [the offer] -- from Lincoln Riley, that was pretty cool. I was just going in there just wanting to check it out not really worrying about that, but they offered me so that was a bonus for the trip for sure."

Dubai: Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society has revealed the possible date of Eid Al Adha. Ibrahim Al Jarwan said that, Saturday, July 9, is likely to be the first day of Eid Al Adha. He said this as per astronomical calculations
According to the UAE’s official holidays calendar, Arafah Day — which is marked on the day before Eid Al Adha — is also a day off. So, UAE residents will, therefore, enjoy a four-day holiday from Dhul Hijjah 9 to 12. As per astronomical calculations, this would likely be from Friday, July 8, to Monday, July 11.

The day of Eid-ul-Adha falls on the tenth day in the final (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar; Dhu-al-Hijjah. The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to God and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. Therefore, Eid-ul-Adha means the festival of sacrifice. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/06/23/likely-dates-of-eid-al-adha-revealed.html | 2022-06-24T06:58:00Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/06/23/likely-dates-of-eid-al-adha-revealed.html | false | 1 |

PMPC22 a window on the wonderful world of apps
The ABU guided Pacific radio and television professionals on a journey through the exciting world of broadcasting apps during the 12th Pacific Media Partnership Conference.
The two-hour Zoom forum on 23 June was described by PMPC chair Faiesea Matafeo as “one of the most useful conferences ever”, thanks to the participation of Pacific Islands media leaders and experts in the field of broadcasting apps.
ABU Secretary General Dr Javad Mottaghi spoke of the history of the PMPC since its inauguration by 25 Pacific Islands member organisations in 2010. He said he looked forward to being able to hold the next forum in person after two years of meeting online.
Among the leaders who addressed the forum were Ms Matafeo of SBC, FBC’s Riyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, the ABC’s Claire Gorman, the SIBC’s Johnson Honimae and the VBTC’s Warren Roberts. They all spoke of how COVID-19 had hit their operations.
Steve Ahern, Head of the ABU Academy, moderated the next session, a look at broadcasting apps, what they are and how they can be used to better run the business and serve audiences.
He went through the value of apps in keeping up with audiences who are spending more time on their mobile devices, in connecting with younger people, for reaching populations in more remote areas not covered by terrestrial transmission and for obtaining analytics data about who was using their services.
Mr Roberts of VBTC said the app-based approach had proved cheaper than having broadcasting transmitters in outlying islands and it had also sparked interest from NGOs eager to share content with their website.
FBC had built its own app and Digital Media Specialist Calvin Prasad demonstrated to participants how it worked and how it connected to audiences and advertisers.
There was also a presentation from Richard Phelps, Senior Digital Producer at All in Media, a company that has to-date developed apps for more than 8,000 radio groups around the world.
The final speaker was Stephanie Park, YouTube’s Singapore-based Asia-Pacific Program Manager, who led the conference through the essential aspects of YouTube’s news channel. | https://www.abu.org.my/2022/06/24/pmpc22-a-window-on-the-wonderful-world-of-apps/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pmpc22-a-window-on-the-wonderful-world-of-apps | 2022-06-24T07:02:49Z | https://www.abu.org.my/2022/06/24/pmpc22-a-window-on-the-wonderful-world-of-apps/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pmpc22-a-window-on-the-wonderful-world-of-apps | false | 1 |

Interview You Haven't Seen: Trump Has Brutal New 4-Word Description of Liz Cheney
Former President Donald Trump responded to Rep. Liz Cheney’s participation in the Jan. 6 Democratic hit job in an interview last week.
Trump was speaking with author and radio host Wayne Allyn Root.
The former president questioned why Congress is determined to focus on events from nearly a year and a half ago as the nation faces crippling inflation, devastating gas prices and an invasion of illegal immigrants at the southern border.
“We should have certainly some Republicans — real Republicans, I’m not talking about Cheney,” he said.
“Cheney’s worse than anybody on the panel. Worse than any Democrat.”
Cheney has served as one of two token Republicans on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s partisan Jan. 6 committee.
“It was a bad decision not to have representation on that committee,” Trump told Root.
“That was a very, very foolish decision because they try to pretend like they’re legit, and only when you get into the inner workings, you say, ‘What kind of a thing is this?’ It’s just a one-sided witch hunt.”
Cheney — the daughter of warmonger and former Vice President Dick Cheney — supported Trump during most of his term in office, only to go rogue on her party after the 2020 election.
Dick Cheney was closely involved in orchestrating the Iraq War during the George W. Bush administration, a blunder widely considered one of the worst foreign policy errors in American history.
Cheney has admitted that she feels “regret” for voting for Trump in 2020, according to Axios.
The Jan. 6 committee continues holding televised public hearings more than 15 months after the disturbance at the U.S. Capitol.
Amid her prominent role in the committee hearings, one of Cheney’s primary challengers has staked out a massive lead on the Wyoming Republican.
Trump-endorsed challenger Harriet Hageman has 56 percent support in polling for the Aug. 16 primary.
The Jan. 6 committee hearings have garnered pitifully low ratings, with the American public apparently more concerned about the abysmal economy under the administration of President Joe Biden.
Trump has emphasized the real-world crises facing the American public in response to the committee’s slick hearings.
When asked by Root if he plans to run for president in 2024, Trump responded coyly.
“You’re going to be happy.”

- China may soon review every single comment before it goes out on social media.
- China's internet watchdog released draft rules on Friday, calling for platforms to monitor comments.
- Social media users are concerned that the rules could further restrict what they can post online.

China may soon review every single comment before it goes out on social media, sparking fears of further censorship in a country that already has one of the world's most restrictive media environments.
On Friday, China's internet watchdog published a new set of draft rules on its website, instructing content platforms to review all online comments before they are published and to report any "illegal and bad information" found to the authorities.
The new rules are designed to "safeguard national security and public interests, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens," the notice read, adding that the public can provide feedback on the regulations by July 1.
While the regulations have yet to be implemented, Chinese social media users have already expressed concerns that their online spaces for free speech will be further eroded. According to the South China Morning Post, draft regulations in China "are usually passed without major revisions."
On the Twitter-like Weibo platform, the hashtag "comments will be reviewed first then published" has received more than 35.2 million views.
"I can't imagine what it'll be like to see only one particular voice (of opinion). Will people think that in real life, there is only a single voice?" a Weibo user wrote.
Content platforms in China actively censor online posts that are critical of the government, or which are deemed politically or culturally sensitive — such as posts complaining of the food shortages in Shanghai amid the city's brutal Covid lockdown.
However, online comments are traditionally less closely monitored, according to the MIT Technology Review.
Without providing details, the outlet said that there have recently been "several awkward cases where comments under government Weibo accounts went rogue, pointing out government lies or rejecting the official narrative."
Earlier this month, one of China's most famous influencers, Li Jiaqi, abruptly went off-air when he promoted a tank-shaped ice cream, just a day before the anniversary of the heavily-censored 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. However, as Insider previously reported, some of his fans still managed to allude to the historical event in online comments on Weibo. | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/china-social-media-censorship-review-every-single-comment-weibo-2022-6 | 2022-06-24T07:09:24Z | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/china-social-media-censorship-review-every-single-comment-weibo-2022-6 | false | 2 |

Groestlcoin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “About the algorithm: – Is an iterated hash function, where the compression function is built from two fixed, large, different permutations. The design of Grøstl is transparent and based on principles very different from those used in the SHA-family.The two permutations used are constructed using the wide trail design strategy, which makes it possible to give strong statements about the resistance of Grøstl against large classes of cryptanalytic attacks. Moreover, if these permutations are assumed to be ideal, there is a proof for the security of the hash function. – Can and is accelerated by the hardware AES support present in most modern Intel CPUs, which helps reduce the efficiency gap between a CPU and other implementations. Groestl (old GPU/CPU) – Groestl makes wide range of trade-offs between throughput, latency, and power consumption. Because of this, groestl uses less power per hash than other algos. Due to the less complex hashing, groestl performs well on older GPU’s as well as CPU’s. – Is the single most efficient algorithm for GPUs in the cryptocurrency market. It has been shown to have the lowest power consumption, heat and noise of recently released algorithms, allowing for a quieter and more effective mining environment. – Is set to be the future of mining, Groestlcoin is proud to be the first to utilize this new efficient algorithm. – Is a recently proposed cryptographic hash algorithm that has common structure and features with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The objective of this paper is to present the design of a high speed joint implementation of Grøstl and AES with minimal resources using a pipelining method. The advantage of this implementation is that it efficiently provides both cryptographic hash function and block cipher. The system is targeted to the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. The paper presents a complete description of the design and implementation, as well as an analysis of the resulting synthesis and comparison to other proposed implementations of the Grøstl hash function. – Is a byte-oriented SP-network which borrows components from the AES. The S-box (substitution-box) used is identical to the one used in the block cipher AES and the diffusion layers are constructed in a similar manner to those of the AES. As a consequence there is a very strong confusion and diffusion in Grøstl. – Is a so-called wide-pipe construction where the size of the internal state is significantly larger than the size of the output. This has the effect that all known, generic attacks on the hash function are made much more difficult. – Has good performance on a wide range of different platforms and counter-measures against side-channel attacks are well-understood from similar work on the AES. About the AES acceleration: The compression function f is based on a pair of 256- or 512-bit permutation functions P and Q, and is defined as: f(h, m) = P(h ⊕ m) ⊕ Q(m) ⊕ h The permutation functions P and Q are heavily based on the Rijndael (AES) block cipher, but operate on 8×8 or 8×16 arrays of bytes, rather than 4×4. Like AES, each round consists of four operations: 1.AddRoundKey (the Grøstl round keys are fixed, but differ between P and Q) 2.SubBytes (this uses the Rijndael S-box, allowing sharing with AES implementations) 3.ShiftBytes (expanded compared to AES, this also differs between P and Q, and 512- and 1024-bit versions) 4.MixColumns (using an 8×8 matrix rather than Rijndael's 4×4) Grøstl divides the input into blocks and iteratively computes hi = f(hi-1, mi). However, Grøstl maintains a hash state at least twice the size of the final output (512 or 1024 bits), which is only truncated at the end of hash computation. “
Buying and Selling Groestlcoin
It is usually not possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as Groestlcoin directly using US dollars. Investors seeking to trade Groestlcoin should first buy Ethereum or Bitcoin using an exchange that deals in US dollars such as GDAX, Gemini or Coinbase. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Ethereum or Bitcoin to buy Groestlcoin using one of the exchanges listed above.

In the two years documentary filmmakers shadowed former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the most jarring moment for them was in the kitchen of her Tucson, Arizona, home.
As cameras were rolling, she and her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly, nonchalantly opened the freezer. Kelly grabbed a plastic container and revealed it holds the piece of Giffords' skull that had to be removed after she was shot.
“This stays in here next to the empanadas and the sliced mango," Kelly said.
Giffords' response was “Sera, sera," referencing the song “Que sera, sera” or “What will be, will be."
The scene from the film is emblematic of Giffords' openness to reflect on but not languish in the 2011 shooting that changed her life. That desire is what led her to allow cameras into her life for two years — all as a pandemic was progressing.
“For me it has been really important to move ahead, to not look back,” Giffords told The Associated Press while in Los Angeles to promote the film. “I hope others are inspired to keep moving forward no matter what.”
From the filmmakers behind Academy Award-nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary “RBG,” the film “Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down” is partly an intimate look at Giffords' recovery after the January 2011 shooting that left six people dead and 13 others wounded outside a Tucson supermarket. But the movie, which arrives in theaters July 15, is also an insider view of how she and Kelly navigated gun control campaigns and later a Senate campaign. The movie could not be any timelier with gun reform being debated in government, schools and the U.S. Supreme Court.
“It’s just a fascinating story about how Gabby came back from an injury that so many people just don’t even survive,” said Betsy West, a co-director. “After meeting Gabby on Zoom, we saw just what a great communicator she is. And we had a sense that we might have a lot of fun despite the very difficult subject of gun violence.”
At the same time, they wanted to strike the right balance of how much to look back at the shooting.
“We certainly didn't want to shy away from January 8. Obviously, that's something that changed her life,” said Julie Cohen, the film's other director. “But Gabby is defined ultimately by everything that she's achieved before and after that. We wanted it to show that achievement.”
The film also doesn’t avoid discussing Jared Lee Loughner, the gunman in the Tucson shooting. Interviews with law enforcement, journalists and a video made by Loughner lay out how he was able to buy a semiautomatic weapon despite a history of mental illness. He was sentenced in 2012 to life in federal prison without parole.
“We did not want to dwell on the shooter but we also wanted to explain what had happened,” West said. “Gabby and Mark did not shy away from going to the sentencing hearing to make a very impassioned plea for life imprisonment. That was a very important part of the film.”
Recent mass shootings including the deaths of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, and 10 supermarket shoppers — all Black — in Buffalo, New York, have put gun violence back at the forefront. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun permitting law. The case involves a state law that makes it difficult for people to get a permit to carry a gun outside the home. The justices said that requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
Also on Thursday, the U.S. Senate easily passed a bipartisan gun violence bill. Weeks of closed-door talks resulted in an incremental but landmark package in response to mass shootings. The House will vote Friday.
Much like after Uvalde, the documentary recaps how gun control debates reached a fever pitch after 26 children and two teachers were shot to death by a gunman at a Newtown, Connecticut, school. Giffords and other advocates, including some Newtown parents, were called “props” by National Rifle Association officials. Having spent time with Giffords and others impacted by gun violence, the film's directors say their voices are central to the discourse.
“To say that somehow Gabby shouldn't be speaking about gun violence because she's experienced violence? It just doesn't make any sense,” Cohen said.
A crucial element of the documentary came from videos Kelly had of Giffords in the Tucson hospital and at a rehab facility in Houston. These included then-President Barack Obama — who is interviewed in the film — and Michelle Obama’s visit to an unconscious Giffords’ bedside. They also include the first few months of speech therapy.
The bullet penetrated the left hemisphere of Giffords' brain that services language ability, causing her to suffer from aphasia. You see in old videos Giffords sob out of frustration as she struggles to read and get stuck on saying “chicken.”
Giffords said watching those videos can make her sad, but she is determined to be upbeat.
“I'm getting better. I'm getting (better) slowly but I'm getting (better) surely," Giffords said.
Giffords is the third movie West and Cohen have produced on a female icon. Last year, they released “Julia,” a documentary on the influence of TV chef and author Julia Child. “RBG” was a critical and commercial hit when it came out four years ago. The filmmakers say while Giffords and Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg, who died in 2020 at age 87, are very different personalities, they think viewers will see a lot of similarities. They both have toughness, persistence, optimism and are at the heart of “feminist love stories.”
Giffords often has to remind people that she still has a voice even if speaking doesn't come easily — whether it's on gun safety or other issues. She said she genuinely feels the climate is different now but people have to be patient because change is “slow," and Washington, D.C., is "really slow.”
She plans to refocus on making tougher federal background checks a reality through her Gun Owners for Safety coalition. The bill the Senate approved would only strengthen background checks for buyers age 18 to 20.
If there's one message she wants viewers to take from the documentary, it's “fight, fight, fight every day," Giffords said. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Giffords-documentary-comes-as-gun-debates-stay-17262526.php | 2022-06-24T07:22:23Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Giffords-documentary-comes-as-gun-debates-stay-17262526.php | true | 64 |

I will not scrap CBC, but encourage further talks with teachers Ruto
EDUCATION

Grace Ng'ang'a
| Jun 24th 2022 | 4 min read
Deputy President William Ruto yesterday unveiled a 45-point charter to overhaul the education sector, should his coalition win the August 9 General Election.
Dr Ruto also promised to review the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) to address current challenges identified by teachers and parents.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) presidential candidate said his government will not scrap CBC but rather strengthen it by encouraging further engagements with parents, teachers and other stakeholders.
While launching the Kenya Kwanza education charter at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA), Nairobi, Dr Ruto said this will be part of the manifesto to be launched next week.
KEEP READING
He said a Kenya Kwanza government would rely on the curriculum review by Unesco to seal gaps that have been pointed out.
“We commit to continue our robust engagement with the public to facilitate the assessment of the current curriculum and education structure towards finding a sustainable solution that will capture the essence of a knowledge-based system,” Dr Ruto said.
“The conversation we want to have is, that we are now five years into CBC. The Unesco guidelines give us the latitude that every five years we have to review the education curriculum and this is the moment. We have had concerns from parents, teachers, and various stakeholders,” he added.
Dr Ruto said to ensure access to education by all, his government would deal with the perennial shortage of teachers.
He promised Sh25 billion for the transfer and hiring of more teachers mainly in marginalised areas. Dr Ruto said this would be implemented in two phases beginning the first year that the UDA government takes over.
“For each phase, we will hire 58,000 teachers beginning next year when we form the government, to close that gap,” Dr Ruto said.
He said the existing funding model for higher education that consolidates universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) funding board and Helb, will be collapsed and a funding council formed dubbed the National Skills and Funding Council.
The DP also said his administration would focus on infrastructure development of institutions since “education is the greatest enabler of the bottom-up economic model.”
He pledged to complete 250 vocational institutes across the country and an additional 52 TVETs within two years.
The DP also plans to abolish the delocalisation policy by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and replace it with a programme that will acknowledge that teachers are a national resource. He said teachers will be at liberty to choose the counties and schools they want to work for.
He promised to convert the current Teachers Management Institute to the Kenya School of Education to better manage the learning institutions.
In their presentation, secondary school principals through their chairman, Kahi Indimuli, demanded that the next government establishes a minimum essential package for schools with low enrollment.
This then would mean a shift from the current arrangement where every learner in public secondary school gets a flat capitation of Sh22,244. Currently, the government funds the education sector at 25.9 per cent of the national budget.
Ruto said also promised to implement a minimum essential package for schools that are low enrolled to ensure the same quality of education is offered irrespective of size.
On education support facilities, he promised a special service tariff for water, electricity and internet connection in all learning institutions to make education affordable.
Other proposals include the establishment of a national education fund to mobilise grants, bursaries and scholarships from private and public sponsors, to cater for non-tuition costs.
Currently, parents meet the cost of transport, meals, uniform and boarding fees under the Free Primary Education and the Free Day Secondary Education.
Ruto said Kenya Kwanza commits to among others enforce a 100 per cent return to school policy for all teenage mothers and ensure they automatically benefit from the bursary, develop a framework for a multi-disciplinary approach to assets, places, and support learners with special needs.
He promised to increase funds for research and development institutions from the current 0.8 per cent to two per cent of GDP.
“The domesticated teacher recruitment and deployment at entry-level will be per the UNESCO teacher deployment practice which treats education as culture process conducted within a people’s culture context at the local level,” he said.
Others present included Kenya Kwanza principals Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula.

Death toll from Afghanistan’s quake rises to 1,150 people
GAYAN, Afghanistan (AP) — The death toll from a devastating earthquake in Afghanistan continued to climb days after it turned brick and stone homes into rubble, killing 1,150 people and wounding scores more, according to the latest figures carried in state media on Friday.
The country of 38 million people was already in the midst of a spiraling economic crisis that had plunged millions deep into poverty with over a million children at risk of severe malnutrition.
The magnitude 6 quake has left thousands without shelter. State media reported that close to 3,000 homes were destroyed or badly damaged in Wednesday’s earthquake.
Aid organizations like the local Red Crescent and World Food Program have stepped in to assist the most vulnerable families with food and other emergency needs like tents and sleeping mats in Paktika province, the epicenter of the earthquake, and neighboring Khost province.
Still, residents appeared to be largely on their own to deal with the aftermath as their new Taliban-led government and the international aid community struggle to bring in help. Villagers have been burying their dead and digging through the rubble by hand in search of survivors.
The Taliban director of the state-run Bakhtar News Agency said Friday the death toll had risen to 1,150 people from previous reports of 1,000 killed. Abdul Wahid Rayan said at least 1,600 people were injured.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has put the death toll at 770 people.
It’s not clear how death toll counts are being reached, given the difficulties of accessing and communicating with the impacted villages. Either grim toll would make the quake Afghanistan’s deadliest in two decades.
In the district of Gayan, at least 1,000 homes were damaged by the earthquake. Another 800 homes in the Spera district of Khost province were also damaged. While modern buildings withstand magnitude 6 earthquakes elsewhere, Afghanistan’s mud-brick homes and landslide-prone mountains make such quakes more dangerous.
In villages across Gayan district, toured by Associated Press journalists for hours Thursday, families who had spent the previous rainy night out in the open lifted pieces of timber of collapsed roofs and pulled away stones by hand, looking for missing loved ones. Taliban fighters circulated in vehicles in the area, but only a few were seen helping dig through the rubble.
There was little sign of heavy equipment — only one bulldozer was spotted being transported. Ambulances circulated, but little other help to the living was evident.
Many international aid agencies withdrew from Afghanistan when the Taliban seized power last August. Those that remain are scrambling to get medical supplies, food and tents to the remote quake-struck area, using shoddy mountain roads made worse by damage and rains. U.N. agencies are also facing a $3 billion funding shortfall for Afghanistan this year.
Germany, Norway and several other countries announced they were sending aid for the quake, but underscored that they would work only through U.N. agencies, not with the Taliban, which no government has officially recognized as of yet.
Trucks of food and other necessities arrived from Pakistan, and planes full of humanitarian aid landed from Iran and Qatar. India humanitarian relief and a technical team to the capital, Kabul, to coordinate the delivery of humanitarian assistance. India says its aid will be handed over to a U.N. agency on the ground and the Afghan Red Crescent Society.
In Paktika province, the quake shook a region of deep poverty, where residents scrape out in a living in the few fertile areas among the rough mountains. Roads are so difficult that some villages in Gayan District took a full day to reach from Kabul, though it is only 175 kilometers (110 miles away.)
One 6-year-old boy in Gayan wept as he said his parents, two sisters and a brother were all dead. He had fled the ruins of his own home and took refuge with the neighbors.

the goalkeeper Alex Muralha was once again listed in Coritiba to face the Inter on Friday, at 9:30 pm, in Beira-Rio, in the opening of the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. He was left out of the classic Atletiba in the last game by choice.
The return of Muralha, however, involves the reserve Marcão being vetoed by the medical department with low back pain. With no other option in the squad, the coaching staff called up the experienced goalkeeper, who has an uncertain future at Alto da Glória. Rafael William continues as a starter for the second game in a row.
Left-back Egídio, right-back Natanael and forward Fabrício Daniel were called up by coach Gustavo Morínigo. The trio had also been left out of the bench against Athletico. The midfielder Régis was not listed by choice.

On the other hand, left-back Diego Porfírio, right-back Warley and forward Adrián Martínez are suspended. Guilherme Biro and Léo Gamalho should be the substitutes. Egidio and Clayton are the other alternatives for the wing and attack, respectively.
A likely lineup has: Rafael William; Matheus Alexandre, Henrique, Luciano Castán and Guilherme Biro (Egídio); Willian Farias, Matías Galarza and Thonny Anderson; Igor Paixão, Alef Manga and Léo Gamalho.

S.Korea plans to establish diplomatic mission to NATO in Brussels
By Soo-hyang Choi
SEOUL, June 22 (Reuters) - South Korea plans to set up a delegation to NATO in Brussels, the national security adviser said on Wednesday, as Seoul pushes to strengthen its partnership with the organisation and play a bigger role on the global stage.
Speaking to reporters about President Yoon Suk-yeol's planned attendance at a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meeting this month, National Security Adviser Kim Sung-han said Seoul would seek to bolster relations with NATO members in the face of an "unpredictable" international situation.
As part of the efforts, South Korea is talking with NATO about information sharing, combined exercises and joint research to counter emerging security threats, he said.
Yoon, inaugurated in May, has said his main foreign policy goal is to make South Korea a "global pivotal state" with a focus on promoting freedom, peace and prosperity based on its liberal democratic values.
Although the June 29-30 meeting in Madrid is expected to focus on the Ukraine crisis, Yoon plans to drum up international cooperation against North Korea's nuclear programme, Kim said.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had said the upcoming summit is expected to agree on an assistance package for Ukraine that will help the country move from old Soviet-era weaponry to NATO standard gear.
South Korea plans to announce additional humanitarian support to Ukraine at the meeting, but Seoul was not considering lethal aid, Yonhap reported.
The new president could also hold a trilateral meeting with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts on the sidelines of the NATO summit, Yonhap said, citing a presidential official as saying Yoon's attendance does not represent a policy against China or Russia.

On Father’s Day, J-Lo raved about her fiancé Ben Affleck. And Jennifer Lopez once more demonstrated her love for her partner by paying him a visit on the set of his as-yet-untitled Nike movie in Los Angeles on Tuesday. With a pair of black pants that cinched into her dance-trained frame, she drew attention to her slim waist. Her hair was worn down in large, flowing curls that fell past her chest and gave her outfit a glossy touch.
Jennifer Lopez Visits Fiance Ben Affleck On The Set Of The Nike Movie
A fitting white tank top tucked into her pants helped the Get Right singer highlight her toned body. With a silver chain bracelet and a striking manicure, she spruced up the appearance. Ben and Matt continued working on their film while acting casually.
Ben appeared to be in a good mood as he spoke with Matt while holding a large iced coffee. Both of them were dressed in black tops, pants, and stylish sneakers.
A new film about Nike’s success in landing a deal with Michael Jordan in the 1980s stars is written by and is being produced by Ben and Matt. Damon will play Sonny Vaccaro, the real-life man who, in defiance of all the doubters, secured the agreement with Jordan even though more established shoe firms Converse and Adidas were in the running. They originally met as young children growing up in Massachusetts.
This was not the first incident where the 52-year-old music sensation visited her fiance on the movie set of Nike. She also visited her fiance 4 days ago, this time accompanied by daughter Emme.
During the filming of his upcoming film about Michael Jordan and Nike, Ben Affleck was encouraged by Jennifer Lopez. The megastar, 52, walked by and spent some time holding the filmmaker, 49, by the hand while she was dressed in a long white dress. Emme, Lopez’s 14-year-old daughter from her previous relationship with Marc Anthony, joined them.
The Bronx fashionista combined her eyelet dress with a long beige sweater that she knotted in the front. A scoop neck collar with ruffles that extended around its entire perimeter adorned the dress. With her hair pulled back in a casual updo, Jen sported a warm yet stylish appearance. She wore substantial gold hoops and left long sections of her hair out in front, giving it a lovely framing.
J-Lo added height to her 5 feet 5-inch frame by pairing the feminine outfit with a pair of beige espadrille wedges. She didn’t wear a hat or sunglasses because it was a normal bright day in Southern California and the sun was shining directly into her eyes. She held her daughter’s hand while at one point placing one hand in her sweater’s pocket. Emme sported a long-sleeved black top, a pair of Jordan sneakers, and brown cargo pants.
Ben, Emme’s soon-to-be stepfather, once embraced the adolescent with a warm arm. Affleck, who is both directing and starring in the film, was decked out in a burgundy t-shirt bearing a disturbing portrait of Charles Dickens. The actor’s George Clooney-directed movie, “The Tender Bar,” was mentioned in a sentence on the back of the garment. It was worn by the father of three with a pair of black sneakers and traditional blue trousers.
Matt Damon, a close friend and longtime associate of Affleck, was also present. The Hollywood hottie sported brown cargo pants with a traditional baseball-style t-shirt in grey and black. He was sporting a light-colored pair of well-used sneakers and a black hat with a camouflage brim. He moved around the movie set with a cup of coffee in his hand.

A County Durham school has welcomed back a former pupil who went on to advise three American presidents and serve as a US national security council director.
Dr Fiona Hill, who attended Bishop Barrington Academy in the late 1970s and early 1980s, described her journey from Bishop Auckland to the White House to current pupils and urged them to follow their own dreams.
The visit was organised by Durham County Council’s international team and also saw Dr Hill answer pupils’ questions during a session led by Professor Rob Lynes, Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Global) at Durham University.

The children heard how during her career in the US, Dr Hill was a security advisor to George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, sharing her expertise in Russian and European affairs.
She rose to international prominence in 2019 as a witness in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, with her comments about how her background and accent had held her back in the UK in the 1980s resonating with many in the region.
Last year, Dr Hill published a memoir, There is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century, a title inspired by her father’s words when he encouraged her to leave the North East if she wanted a successful career.
Dr Hill, who has acknowledged that great progress has been made since the 1980s, was a great supporter of County Durham’s shortlisted bid to be UK City of Culture 2025.
She is passionate about raising aspirations among young people, creating opportunities, and shining a light on County Durham and the wider region.
Dr Hill, now a senior fellow at the Centre on the United States and Europe in the Foreign Policy programme at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, said: “I am genuinely excited not just to be back in Bishop Auckland but visiting Bishop Barrington school.
"It is fantastic to see how much it has been transformed since I attended, and to meet with pupils who are starting out on the rest of their lives.
“I’m thrilled and delighted that this has been possible, and I hope my visit has given some of the pupils a bit of inspiration and some ideas of what they would like to achieve.”
Headteacher at Bishop Barrington Academy, Grant Sowerby, added: “It has been a real pleasure to welcome Dr Hill into school. Dr Hill’s career shows that there are no limits on what students at Bishop Barrington Academy can achieve; her journey embodies the Academy mantra of Opening Doors to the Future.
"Today’s talk will undoubtedly inspire students to aim high and work hard to achieve their goals.”
Cllr Elizabeth Scott, Durham County Council’s Cabinet member for economy and partnerships, said: “We were absolutely delighted to welcome Dr Hill back to Bishop Barrington Academy to share incredible stories of her fascinating career with students. Her talk was truly inspirational, and I’m sure Dr Hill’s story will stay with pupils and encourage them to believe in themselves and work hard towards their dreams.”
Launched last year, the Durham Global Alliance is focussed on young people aged four to 30 and brings together organisations with a shared commitment to forging international partnerships. Its objectives are to create exciting international opportunities for young people, while ensuring activities are coordinated more effectively and resources are shared.

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were higher in Asia on Friday, despite data suggesting economies are slowing. The advance tracked gains on Wall Street, where the market is headed for its first weekly gain after three weeks of punishing losses.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index added 1.2% to 26,491.97 and the Kospi in Seoul jumped 2.4% to 2,369.16. Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 2% to 21,707.92 and the Shanghai Composite index added 1% to 3,354.63.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.8% to 6,577.40. Shares also rose in India and Taiwan.
U.S. and European futures also were higher.
Market players are looking ahead to U.S. inflation data due next week. They appeared to shrug off preliminary data showing a slowing of factory activity in several countries including Japan.
The manufacturing manager surveys of “several developed economies came in lower-than-expected in both the manufacturing and services sector, which points to a broad-based moderation in economic activities," Jun Rong Yeap of IG said in a commentary.
A report Friday showed inflation in Japan remained at 2.1% in May, pushed higher by energy costs and a weaker currency. However, underlying core inflation, which excludes volatile costs for energy and fresh foods, remained at 0.8% and the central bank is unlikely to follow the example of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks in raising interest rates, analysts said.
The Bank of Japan “isn’t convinced that this will be sustainable because wage growth remains soft and higher energy costs are weighing on corporate profits and consumer sentiment," Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said in a report.
On Wall Street, trading was wobbly as investors focused on another round of testimony before Congress by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He told a House committee the Fed hopes to rein in the worst inflation in four decades without knocking the economy into a recession, but acknowledged “that path has gotten more and more challenging.”
The S&P 500 ended 1% higher at 3,795.73 after having been down as much as 0.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% to 30,677.36 and the Nasdaq gained 1.6% to 11,232.19.
Smaller company stocks also gained ground. The Russell 2000 rose 1.3% to 1,711.67.
Trading has been turbulent in recent weeks as investors try to determine whether a recession is looming. The benchmark S&P 500 is currently in a bear market. That means it has dropped more than 20% from its most recent high, which was in January. The index has fallen for 10 of the last 11 weeks.
On Thursday, Powell stressed: “I don’t think that a recession is inevitable.” He has said it's ”certainly a possibility" and that the central bank is facing a more challenging task amid the war in Ukraine essentially pushing oil and other commodity prices even higher and making inflation even more pervasive.
Powell spoke to Congress a week after the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by three quarters of a percentage point, its biggest hike in nearly three decades. Fed policymakers also forecast a more accelerated pace of rate hikes this year and next than they had predicted three months ago, with its key rate to reach 3.8% by the end of 2023. That would be its highest level in 15 years.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that fewer Americans applied for jobless benefits last week, though it was slightly more than economists expected. The solid job market is a relatively bright point in an otherwise weakening economy, with consumer sentiment and retail sales showing increasing damage from inflation.
As higher prices stretch pocketbooks, consumers are shifting spending from big ticket items like electronics to necessities. The pressure has been worsened by record-high gasoline prices that show no sign of abating.
Big technology and health care companies did much of the heavy lifting. Microsoft rose 2.3% and Johnson & Johnson rose 2.2%.
Energy stocks fell as the price of U.S. crude oil dropped 1.8%. Valero fell 7.6%.
Early Friday, U.S. benchmark crude oil was up 36 cents at $104.63 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the basis for pricing for international trading, shed 9 cents to $106.55 per barrel.
Bond yields fell significantly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 3.09% from 3.15% late Wednesday.
The U.S. dollar fell to 134.73 Japanese yen from 134.94 yen. The euro rose to $1.0539 from $1.0524. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Asian-shares-gain-as-investors-shrug-off-downbeat-17262606.php | 2022-06-24T07:51:43Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Asian-shares-gain-as-investors-shrug-off-downbeat-17262606.php | true | 17 |

A robust and profitable private sector is important to supporting the African continent to have strong health systems, medical sector players have said.
They made the observation on Wednesday, June 22, 2022 during the "Our Common Health: Delivering Equitable Healthcare," a session held at the CHOGM2022 Business Forum in Kigali.
"We need to build profitable healthcare MSME (micro, small, and medium-sized healthcare enterprises) providers in each community, who can provide care that is relevant to their community and make money doing that so that they can pay the staff that they employ," said Gregory Rockson, CEO of Mpharma, a firm that engages in fixing drug supply in Africa.
At the event, it was indicated that lack of good salary or income is the major factor that has been resulting in medical brain drain in Africa - a situation where doctors or healthcare providers leave the continent for other parts of the world in search for greener pastures.
"One of the biggest problems we face today is lots of doctors, health workers migrating from the continent to the West. And I don't blame them for doing that. I would want a good salary; I would want to be able to take care of my family," Rockson said.
"And, unless we can actually begin to create profitability, and when we create health programmes that actually underlie sustainability, I do think 20 years from now, we will come back and we will so talk about strengthening health systems in Africa, and we will be talking about donors, and humanitarian aid," he expressed.
"Philanthropy is great, but I believe that the future of the health systems has been built on the back of profitable healthcare MSMEs."
Underscoring the need to build strong health systems in Africa, Professor Fisseha, the Director of Global Programs at the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, said that "what we saw with COVID was the global mechanisms that we put in place thinking they will focus on equity, they will protect marginalised communities, they were going to be inclusive, clearly failed us.
"So, with COVID, all those global solidarities were now at the door, and nationalism took place, and everybody was scrambling for vaccines and Africa was left on its own," she said.
She indicated that when a country has good governance, leadership, and national plan, it can put in place a mechanism that really builds a strong primary healthcare system.
"I am all for global solidarity, but I am also very skeptical that we can get together and talk about global solidarity without building the capacity of locals and nationals and frankly building a robust private sector that can relieve some of the burdens," she said.
"Governments cannot pay salaries of the workforce, and that's why they are migrating. So, having a robust private sector that's based on technology [is necessary]," she noted.
However, she said that a functional Government is key to having a thriving private sector, indicating that governments can create an enabling environment, the right policies, and the right infrastructure for businesses to thrive.
The need for vaccine equity
While vaccine manufacturing in Africa is currently nascent, demand is set to more than double in volume over the next decade from about 1 billion doses currently to over 2.7 billion doses in 2040, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).
By value, excluding future demand for Covid-19 vaccines and most other new vaccines yet to be developed, the public market for vaccines in Africa is expected to reach an estimated $3 billion to $6 billion by 2040, it indicated.
Currently, it added, local African manufacturing supplies about 1 percent of the total continental demand, and manufacturers are consolidated across just five countries (South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Senegal). Remaining supply [of more than 90 percent] is dependent on global providers including large multinational corporations (Merck, Sanofi, Pfizer, and GSK) or large, incumbent developing countries vaccine manufacturers (DCVMs).
Talking about innovating for vaccine equity, Holm Keller, Executive Chairman of kENUP Foundation said that the ground-breaking for the construction of an mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant by German biotechnology firm BioNTech in Rwanda, is expected to be held on Thursday, June 23, 2023 in Kigali.
kENUP Foundation is a global non-profit public benefit foundation supporting research-based innovation in the wider health industries for societal benefit.
Keller said that they are expecting the first vaccine to be manufactured there to be against malaria.
"So, hopefully something that can contribute to eradication [of malaria], as a preventive malaria vaccine for both small children and adults," he said.
"So tomorrow is a really big day not only for Africa, but also for the whole world. It is a substantive contribution to overcome vaccine access that can only be overcome if we look at the demand and be met locally," he said.
Localising vaccine manufacturing could reduce reliance on foreign aid and supply, mitigate risks of supply chain disruption and priority vaccine access, and generate substantial economic impact through job creation, increased investments, and increased intracontinental trade, according to Africa CDC. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206240062.html | 2022-06-24T07:54:44Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206240062.html | true | 1 |

Beyond the flat fields and prairies of west-central Minnesota is, surprisingly, one of the tallest peaks in Minnesota.
Climb a short but steep trail to the top of Inspiration Peak in Otter Tail County and wonder at the expansive vista of miles of fields, forests and lakes.
"I think it's a hidden gem," says Erik Osberg, who works for Otter Tail County to promote the area and draw new residents. "It offers a 'wow' moment."
For years, this stunning view between Alexandria and Fergus Falls was a well-kept secret — until famed novelist Sinclair Lewis sparked new interest in the remote spot.
The hills, which rise 1,750 feet above sea level, were first called Gaskibugwudjiwe by the Ojibwe. Early white settlers translated that into the Rustling Leaf Mountains and aptly deemed the highest point Inspiration Peak. It became public parkland in 1931, but it was more than a decade later that the area attracted buzz.
In 1942, Lewis, the winner of the 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature, wrote that he had returned to explore his home state and found, to his "considerable chagrin over my ignorance," that Minnesota rivaled New England for its scenic beauty.
For six weeks, the Sauk Centre, Minn., native trekked across the state and noted his "favorite discoveries," including the Leaf Mountains. In his writing, which was published in the Minneapolis Tribune (the Star Tribune's predecessor), he instructed visitors to climb the equivalent of a couple of city blocks "to a bald top from which there is to be seen a glorious 20-mile circle of some 50 lakes scattered among fields and pastures, like sequins fallen on an old Paisley shawl."
He added that he hoped authorities would never build a road to the top, ruining "the enchanting peace and seclusion of this place for contemplation."
He also lamented Minnesotans' lack of interest in exploring their own state. His Minneapolis friends were "canny and traveled persons," eagerly traveling to far-flung European spots, and yet they didn't know of the Leaf Mountains, he wrote. In fact, Lewis questioned if the governor had ever stepped foot on Inspiration Peak.
Today, Lewis is widely credited with bringing attention to Inspiration Peak thanks to his compelling campaign. But its secluded location still draws fewer visitors than other spots.
"It's certainly not as well-known as any of the North Shore peaks," Osberg says. "It's kind of off the beaten path. ... You don't usually just stumble upon it."
For visitors who seek out the spot, Osberg says they, too, can have that "moment of discovery" that Lewis did, marveling at the high vantage point.
A place to contemplate
The hills owe their origin to multiple glaciers tens of thousands of years ago. Glaciers created drumlins, or ridges, that stretch across the region and left behind deposits of sand and debris forming moraines, or mounds, including Inspiration Peak. In fact, west-central Minnesota is unusual for its diverse geological features, says Ben Eckhoff, an area naturalist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which manages Inspiration Peak, one of nine state waysides.
"That difference [in topography] is some of probably the most dramatic of anywhere else," Eckhoff says. "You've got all of these flat, low rolling farm fields and all of a sudden there's this giant hill out of nowhere."
The trail climbs 200 feet in elevation, winding a quarter mile through dense woods to the overlook, which is about 400 feet above the surrounding area. The sandy top of Inspiration Peak is covered with native prairie grasses that have been there for hundreds of years and flowers including bush clover and goldenrod. The trail is also popular for chasing fall colors when oak trees tinge red.
With no fee or reservation needed, the DNR can't track visitor numbers, but Eckhoff says the parking lot fills up on autumn weekends with some 100 people at a time.
Unfortunately, more visitors in recent years have veered off the designated trail, which ends at the overlook. By creating their own paths, hikers have worsened erosion of the sandy soil, so Eckhoff urges staying on the half-mile loop.
As you walk in Lewis' footsteps to the top, follow the author's advice for quiet contemplation. That's what Eckhoff does, envisioning how the panoramic view looked with fewer trees when Lewis stood there nearly a century ago.
"There's nowhere else like that really in that part of the state, where you can see as far as you can see," he says. "You can really picture what historically that area looked like and how its been transformed over time." | https://m.startribune.com/one-of-minnesotas-highest-peaks-offers-picturesque-vistas-off-the-beaten-path/600184533/ | 2022-06-24T07:56:34Z | https://m.startribune.com/one-of-minnesotas-highest-peaks-offers-picturesque-vistas-off-the-beaten-path/600184533/ | true | 2 |
LAS VEGAS — A knife-wielding psychiatric patient fatally stabbed one man and wounded another inside a Las Vegas hospital Thursday, according to police.
The stabbings occurred in a secured area where psychiatric patients are treated at University Medical Center, said Lt. Jason Johansson, a spokesperson for Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.
Johansson said how the suspect, a man in his 40s, obtained the knife was under investigation.
The suspect's name wasn't immediately released by police and neither were the identities of the two stabbing victims, both men in their 20s.
Johansson said the suspect left his room early Thursday morning and went to an adjacent one and got into an argument with the first patient, who was in soft restraints when he was attacked and fatally stabbed.
The assailant then went into a hallway and began stabbing a man who was on a gurney.
"That victim thankfully was able to get up and flee toward the exit door to that area of the hospital along with a charge nurse who was in that area," Johansson said.
The extent of the second man's injuries weren't immediately available.
"Within about a minute, security within the hospital responded to the area where the double doors are that are secured going into that area" and the suspect went back into his room, according to Johansson.
He said corrections officers happened to be at the hospital at the time on an unrelated assignment and they took the suspect into custody without incident.
Johansson said the stabbings occurred in an area where psychiatric patients receive treatment such as Legal 2000.
Authorities said people are placed on a Legal 2000 hold when they are considered a danger to themselves or others, and they can be held for up to 72 hours of psychiatric observation. | https://m.startribune.com/patient-at-vegas-hospital-fatally-stabs-1-person-wounds-2nd/600184661/ | 2022-06-24T07:57:22Z | https://m.startribune.com/patient-at-vegas-hospital-fatally-stabs-1-person-wounds-2nd/600184661/ | true | 4 |
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rico's Comptroller Office released a report Wednesday saying the island's Senate made nearly $30,000 worth of "extravagant, excessive and unnecessary" purchases from 2013 to 2020.
The report comes as the U.S. territory tries to emerge from the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and remains under the eye of a federal control board overseeing the island's finances. Puerto Rico declared in 2015 that it was unable to pay its more than $70 billion public debt.
The report found that the items bought included a $2,545 sofa, two chandeliers worth $1,200 each, three chairs valued at $675 each, two laptops worth more than $9,000 and an $870 console table, among other things.
The Comptroller Office said it wasn't clear whether any effort was made to contact the Senate's warehouse to see if it had any of the furniture sought by a former legislator who was not identified.
In addition, $8,200 was spent to buy 225 red shirts for a 2015 sporting event that already included official shirts, the report said.
"This expense turned out to be unnecessary, because it was of no use to the public," the report said.
The office also found that the Senate paid more than $16,000 to update online systems, but those were never installed.
The report said the Senate improperly spent nearly $75,000 on medical insurance for 10 police officers serving as bodyguards for political leaders when those officers already had their own insurance via the police department.
The report issued various recommendations, including that the president of the Senate ensure such spending is not repeated.
Those who served as president of Puerto Rico's Senate during the years covered by the comptroller's investigation could not be immediately reached for comment. A spokesman for the current Senate president, José Luis Dalmau, said he wasn't immediately available for comment. | https://m.startribune.com/report-puerto-rico-senate-made-extravagant-purchases/600184397/ | 2022-06-24T07:59:55Z | https://m.startribune.com/report-puerto-rico-senate-made-extravagant-purchases/600184397/ | true | 15 |
Sonipat, June 24: The O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) has been honoured with the prestigious World Congress on Disaster Management - Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDM-DRR) Award 2022 for its significant contribution in the field of Disaster Management and Disaster Risk Reduction through research and academic excellence towards strengthening capacity of various stakeholders and innovative practices.
The awards were presented by G. Kishan Reddy, the Union Minister of Tourism, Culture and Development of North Eastern region of India. Spiralling risks of disasters and persistent adverse impacts of disasters on the lives, livelihoods, economy and environment have posed serious threats to sustainable development.
As per the global database of disasters, during the past two decades there were as many as 12,732 disasters in which 1.47 million people lost their lives, 3.9 billion people were affected adversely, and economic losses of USD 2.47 trillion was suffered around the world. WCDM-DRR Award Conferred Upon IMD for Outstanding Contribution in "Weather Forecasting.
The WCDM-DRR awards honoured the Central, State governments, Universities, Institutions, PSUs, CSOs, Individuals and Armed Forces, who have excelled in this field by bringing new practices, improving existing ones, upgrading the tools and skills and fostering innovation. A total of 35 individuals, organisations and universities were honoured for their contribution to disaster management.
The awards were a follow up to the 5th World Congress on Disaster Management held between November 24 and 27 in New Delhi last year. The 5th WCDM focussed on strengthening capacity for building resilience to disasters through expert deliberations on three critical issues �technology, finance and capacity.
In his chief guest address, G. Kishan Reddy said, "We always salute the tireless efforts of frontline volunteers working at the forefront in times of disaster. It is heartening to see that the important bodies and societies are also recognising the efforts of those involved in disaster management.
Through the DRR awards, we have an opportunity to recognise the work of institutions, organisations and individuals. I want to thank the WCDM for bringing all practitioners on one platform to discuss various strategies in disaster management."
The Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar said, "JGU's efforts towards disaster management and sustainable development have resulted in the prestigious DRR award. The award showcases our commitment to creating a world based on sustainable development and having graduates who are sensitised to the most pressing challenges that the world faces today, including such key concerns as climate change. The award speaks volumes about this young university's endeavours towards a healthier and safer environment by implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. JGU released the first-of-its-kind 'Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals: Role of Universities and Civil Society in Protecting the Environment Report', mapping its compliance towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. Setting a global benchmark, JGU has become one of the first universities to fully commit to and implement the SDGs on its campus, despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Significantly, the efforts that we are making today have the potential to transform the future and help address the challenges of disaster management by bringing universities to the centre of knowledge creation, research, experiential learning, innovation and broader engagement with the youth."
Speaking on the recognition, Prof. Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik, Professor and Registrar, JGU said, "India is among the most vulnerable countries in respect to climate change, according to the Global Climate Risk Index Report 2021. In recent years, disasters have become frequent across the country. The world is facing one of the worst pandemics in hundred years and given the severe impact on economic and social development, it is imperative to build resilience to disasters through teaching, research, capacity building. Therefore, at JGU, we are also offering courses on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in complex security environments; environmental hazards and disaster resilience."
Highlighting the significance of disaster management, Justice J.R. Midha, former judge, Delhi High Court said, "For the last two years and more, the whole world is struggling against COVID and the disaster management authorities as well as the persons who have contributed in terms of innovative work and have contributed to control the pandemic have put in great efforts. The more we are interfering with nature, we have to be ready to face its consequences and we should take efforts to prevent such things happening in the future."
Echoing his thoughts, Justice M.M. Kumar, former Chief Justice, Jammu and Kashmir and former judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh said, "The subject of disaster management has assumed greater significance. Whenever there is a crisis, we must know how to emerge out of it. I appreciate the type of books that have been released today. It shows how much labour has been put in this field and I'm sure that in the days to come there would hardly be any disaster that cannot be solved with the help of this literature."

Travellers are being forced to line up for days to resolve issues at Perth’s passport office as the Commonwealth Government tries to clear a growing backlog of claims.
Camp chairs, sprawling queues and security guards managing the fiasco have become common sights outsight outside the Australian Passport Office’s William Street outpost in the CBD.
People have been arriving at the office daily from 5.30am to secure an early spot in the queue before the APO’s doors open at 8.30am.Staff have turned to asking people to leave the area – and return once they’ve received text message instructions – to ease tensions with surrounding businesses who are growing frustrated with the queues, it is understood.
Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Tim Watts blamed the previous Morrison Government for the blowout in wait times, claiming it did not prepare for the “expected” surge of passport applications following the reopening of Australia’s international borders. An additional 1100 staff have been promised for the APO by September to handle the surge in claims and applications.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has warned people to expect a six-week wait for passport claims to be processed. “We are experiencing high demand for passports since the reopening of Australia’s international border,” DFAT said in a statement earlier this month.
“In the first three months of this year, we issued nearly 400,000 passports, more than double the total number we issued over the same period in 2021.”
Joondalup mother-of-two Louisa Walker has been waking up at 4.45am to secure an early spot in the line, hoping to speak to staff about her eight-year-old daughter’s passport, which she applied for in early March.
Ms Walker and her husband are hoping to travel to the United Kingdom with their two their young daughters to see their elderly and ill parents for the first time in three years.
She was turned away from the APO Perth office for the third time on Friday, without her daughter’s passport.
The family has flights booked for Wednesday.
“My youngest daughter’s passport came back within three weeks, but they told me my eldest’s (passport) has been ‘lost in the system’,” Ms Walker told The West Australian.
“So I waited a while, thinking it would turn up, but then a month ago I got a bit nervous and rang the help line. “After six hours on hold they told me it had all been approved but been lost in a print queue, they escalated it to find out.“I rang back a week later and was told ‘that has been escalated on an old system, so that hasn’t been flagged with anybody, I’ll flag it now with a human in Perth’.”
Ms Walker said she was told yet again, her request had been filed by staff on yet another “old system”, prompting her to visit the APO in person.
She was told by staff on Friday her daughter’s passport was stuck in Adelaide and she would not be able to speak to APO staff until receiving further written instructions.
Others have shared similar experiences of changing instructions from APO staff as well as being sent away from the Perth office after lining up for hours on multiple different days. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/travel/australian-passport-office-queues-stretched-as-backlog-of-requests-continues-to-be-cleared-c-7288106 | 2022-06-24T08:05:50Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/travel/australian-passport-office-queues-stretched-as-backlog-of-requests-continues-to-be-cleared-c-7288106 | false | 1 |
It took a while, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve conceded. There have been tough times, both with health and the chemistry of the team. Too many losses.
But, finally, maybe, the Lynx might be onto something.
The latest proof: Thursday's 100-88 victory over Phoenix at Target Center on a night when the Lynx celebrated the 50th anniversary of Title IX legislation and the return of center Sylvia Fowles. They shot better than 50%. They set season highs for first-half points (60) and total points. The spacing and flow developed while a cartilage problem in Fowles' right knee kept her out of action for five games remained in force upon her return.
So, after a second victory over Phoenix in three days — the Lynx have won 18 of their last 21 vs. Phoenix — the Lynx have an honest-to-goodness winning streak. And perhaps some direction.
"For me, as a coach, from a chemistry standpoint, this is as good as it's been all season," Reeve said. "We really had to go through some real challenges in regard to that. But we've made progress."
Fowles returned, knowing her knee probably won't be 100% the rest of the season, with a minutes limit — "We'll see how long that lasts," she said. "Been down that road before." — and an energy level that was palpable. She scored 14 points with 10 rebounds in 22 minutes.
Fowles said the team really started coming together four games ago. It was during a morning shootaround prior to a game with Seattle — one the Lynx lost by two points — that the team some had what Fowles called heart-to-heart talks about what it takes to win. That loss was followed by a heartbreaking one-point loss at first-place Las Vegas.
And now, two wins. Reeve said the feeling is different. Instead of coaches pleading for effort during time outs, the players are saying it. On the court, opponents' runs are being cut short, then answered.
That was the case Thursday. The Lynx used a 20-2 run from late in the first quarter into the second to go up 14. They led by as many as 16. Six times the rest of the way the Mercury (6-12) cut that lead under 10. But they never got closer than six, and each time the Lynx responded.
All five starters scored in double figures for Minnesota (5-13), led by point guard Moriah Jefferson, who had 21 points and five assists. She also had five turnovers, something Reeve was on her about most of the game.
Damiris Dantas and Kayla McBride each scored 15 and Aerial Powers scored 12.
But the Lynx reserves — led by Jessica Shepard's nine points and nine rebounds — outscored the Mercury bench 23-11.
Depth and balance.
"It's everyone putting it on the line," Fowles said. "We've been sticking to that."
The Lynx had a 42-23 edge on rebounding, 11-2 on the offensive glass, an 18-4 edge on second-chance points and a 46-30 edge in points in the paint while still managing to put up eight three-pointers.
Jefferson is starting to really feel at home with the Lynx. Dantas is working back into form after missing nearly a year with a Lisfranc injury in her foot. The team is playing a connected style of basketball that was missing for much of the first weeks of the season.
"I think it was just about continuing to find that chemistry," Jefferson said. "Going through those difficult situations has really brought us together."
Note
With Fowles back, the Lynx had to end Nikolina Milic's hardship contract. But there is a strong chance the Lynx will find a way to keep Milic — who was on the bench in street clothes Thursday night — with the team. That development could come as early as next week. | https://m.startribune.com/sylvia-fowles-returns-lynx-win-second-in-a-row-over-phoenix-100-88/600184816/ | 2022-06-24T08:06:11Z | https://m.startribune.com/sylvia-fowles-returns-lynx-win-second-in-a-row-over-phoenix-100-88/600184816/ | false | 1 |
Monkeys are out of control, especially in India. With no humans occupying the streets, they’ve taken over the streets and are free to act like weird mafiosi. In the latest case, apes stole three blood samples infected with coronavirus
The crime took place at Meerut Medical College in Uttar Pradesh on the morning of the 29th.
According to the technician who was the victim of the theft, everything happened very quickly.
He was carrying the samples in a hospital yard when they were snatched by the ape.
READ MORE: Lace-shaped worm is hooked by accident while fishing
He still filmed the monkey on the tree, but chewing and spilling the contents of the samples.
Those who live close to the hospital fear that the apes could be vectors of the disease.
You might be wondering if monkeys can get the virus?
SEE ALSO: Residents are ‘trapped in their homes’ by a huge pile of garbage
Well, not even the smartest scientists know, but so far there is no evidence that they can, so the residents of Uttar Pradesh can rest assured, for now.
But there are other strange cases involving monkeys, all carefully reported here at HOUR 7! Starting with a case in March when hundreds of them fought over food in Thailand
we already commented here at HOUR 7 how monkeys are becoming an increasing problem in India. And it’s Thailand’s turn to experience its own version of the ape revolt, with a shocking scene: rival gangs with hundreds of monkeys staged a pitched battle in a square in the Lopburi region, in the center of the country.
And to make it even more bizarre, the fight was over A BANANA
WATCH THIS: Millions of cicadas will leave the earth and science predicts ‘devastating singing’
But such commotion has a reasonable reason.
The number of tourists in the country has plummeted because of the coronavirus pandemic
READ MORE: Scientists want to save the world by reducing cow flatulence
And the bunch of monkeys was fed just by tourists with open hands
With less food, the result is a wave of ape fury and destruction.
Some claimed that the episode is the first step towards the consolidation of the Planet of the Apes.

But their number increased because of lack of food
‘They looked more like wild dogs than monkeys. They went crazy for the food’
‘I’ve never seen them so aggressive’, he adds.

The multitude of monkeys is precisely one of the attractions of Lopburi
Most of them live on the grounds of former Buddhist temples in the region. According to a report in the Bangkok Post, the gang demographics are divided between those who live in these ancient temples and those who live in the city. Also in March, a gang of them invaded a city hall and put the employees on the run!
Something serious is happening in Thailand. Due to the lack of tourists, monkeys are without food and begin to exhibit increasingly aggressive behavior. The newest episode starring wild ape gangs in the country involves the invasion of a town hall
According to reports published in the tabloid Daily Star on the 14th, the animals are in a frantic search for food, which has drastically decreased after the vertiginous fall of tourists, caused by the global covid-19 pandemic
Without the visitors’ easy food, they went into ignorance and now don’t even respect public buildings.
The new victim is the prefecture of the paradise city of Prachuap Khiri Khan

Vehicles are also being destroyed and show that the problem is increasingly serious in the country.
In an April case in Indonesia, a monkey on a motorbike tried to kidnap a child! See the full story below
Fiction has just been sucked into a vortex generated by a video recorded in the village of Tanjungsari, Indonesia. A monkey on a possibly motorbike crosses an alley and tries to kidnap a child. Yes, we are also trying to understand that there
The mysterious recording begins with the crook walking quietly in his vehicle
The scene is surreal in itself, with the little monkey looking like a motorcyclist with a license and all.
But then he showed his true intentions

This time by a long way. Crime has become serious and very scary
The monkey just ran and ended the surreal moment when a man appeared screaming and scared him away.
After some investigation on Reddit, users began to give controversial opinions about the video. One claimed that it looked like someone was training the animal for street fun sessions, while another noted that the bike actually had no engine. You can’t be sure of anything, just that the images are some of the strangest we’ve ever seen on the web. The video complete can be seen on twitter

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — Malaysian crack women’s badminton doubles pair Pearly Tan-M Thinaah hope to maintain their momentum in the Indonesian Open at the Malaysia Open to be held at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil here from June 28 to July 3.
The world number 10 are scheduled to face world 22nd ranked pair Liu Xuan Xuan-Xia Yu Ting of China in the first round which will be their second meeting after a second round clash at the Thai Open last month which was won by Pearly-Thinaah.
Pearly expects them to face stiff opposition from the Chinese pair, but is still positive that they will be able to put on an excellent performance and is excited to be playing on home turf.
“Of course I am excited because at Istora Senayan, Jakarta the home crowd was there. I am looking forward to Malaysian fans being there (at Axiata Arena) and really looking forward to the competition...(however) the draw is really tough because (in) the first round we (will) play a tough Chinese pair.
“I think they are quite a good pair so it is really a tough draw for us but we just hope to keep the momentum going,” she said when met at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM), Bukit Kiara here yesterday.
Pearly-Thinaah, who won the Swiss Open last year, advanced to the semi-finals of the Indonesian Masters at the Istora Senayan Stadium before exiting in the second round of the Indonesian Open, which also took place at the same venue last week.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old said the announcement by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on the status of the Malaysia Open, which will be upgraded from Super 750 to 1000 in the World Tour, was further motivation for the national shuttlers to raise their game to a higher level.
“However, for me all supers are the same because all good players also come to join (Super 500, 750 & 1000), not so different, just hope to focus in every match,” she said, admitting that although BWF prize money was now higher, the mission to bring glory for the country was her priority.
Men’s doubles player Aaron Chia said: “Indeed, when you go up to 1000, for players there is more enthusiasm. Furthermore, playing at home, you can say in the biggest tournament among several tournaments, that injects confidence as well.
On Sunday, BWF announced the upgrade of the status of the Malaysia Open from Super 750 to Super 1000 starting next year until 2026. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/06/22/pearly-thinaah-hope-to-keep-momentum-going-at-malaysia-open/13649 | 2022-06-24T08:17:11Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/06/22/pearly-thinaah-hope-to-keep-momentum-going-at-malaysia-open/13649 | true | 1 |

A team of wildlife biologists in the US has discovered and managed to capture the largest ever Burmese python found in the state of Florida. The female serpent, measuring nearly 18 feet in length, weighed 215 pounds or approx. 97.5 kg and was found to be carrying 112 eggs. The python was caught by biologists from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in the Everglades wetland area in December last year. However, zeroing in on the largest reptile wasn’t easy for the researchers.
As part of their research program, the biologists implant radio transmitters in their male ‘scout’ snakes and monitor their breeding behaviours, movements, and habitat use. These scout snakes help the researchers spot breeding aggregations and huge reproductive female snakes.
“How do you find the needle in the haystack? You could use a magnet, and in a similar way, our male scout snakes are attracted to the biggest females around,” said Ian Bartoszek, wildlife biologist and environmental science project manager for the conservancy.
Once tracked, the biologists then proceed to remove the breeding female along with the eggs developing in her from the wild. For their biggest catch, the biologists tracked their male scout named Dionysus or Dion who led them to a region of the western Everglades. The snake had been frequenting the region prompting the biologists to suspect that a female python could be there.
Their suspicion turned out to be true as the scout not only led to a female snake but the largest ever found in Florida rill date. The huge python was then taken for necropsy where researchers discovered that it had 122 eggs developing in the snake’s abdomen.
Moreover, during an assessment of the serpent’s digestive contents, biologists found hoof cores inside her. This indicated that the reptile devoured an adult white-tailed deer in her last meal.
The Burmese python is considered an invasive species in Florida which means that it is not native to that environment and affects other species of the ecosystem. “The removal of female pythons plays a critical role in disrupting the breeding cycle of these apex predators that are wreaking havoc on the Everglades ecosystem and taking food sources from other native species,” Bartoszek highlighted.

The New Zealand-born second-rower joined Tigers from Huddersfield Giants on a 12-month deal in pre-season and has now re-signed for three more years.
The 32-year-old revealed it wasn’t a straight-forward decision, but he is happy to be staying and has his sights set on silverware.
“At the start of the year I made the decision I was going to head back to Australia with my young family,” Edwards revealed.
“My kids were missing family and the missus wanted to head home.
“At the time, it was snowing and raining every day so it was harder to convince them, but as the year has gone on, my partner started to come around and enjoy it here.
“Her business has started to flourish and she has got a good support network which has made it a bit easier.
“The sun has made it a bit easier too.
“It was a hard decision but one I’m comfortable with now.”
Edwards played for Sunday’s visitors Catalans Dragons before Huddersfield, but feels he has found a home at Castleford.
“Parramatta was my home and is all I’d known in the NRL,” he reflected.
“I didn’t leave there on the best terms and it was hard for me to move on mentally.
“Since then I’ve struggled to find somewhere I belong.
“I spent a couple of years at Catalans and then I was at Huddersfield, [but] this feels like home to me and where I belong.
“I’ve only been here half a year but I’ve played the best football of my whole career here.
“The biggest thing was it feels like home with the coaching staff and the players.
“I’ve been searching for that feeling since I left Parramatta.”
Of what Tigers could achieve during his new deal. Edwards insisted: “I want to win stuff in the next three years.”
He said: “The big thing for me was knowing the club’s recruitment and retention plans heading into next year and the next few years.
“It’s only upwards from here.” | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/castleford-tigers-kenny-edwards-signs-new-long-term-contract-3743813 | 2022-06-24T08:25:17Z | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/castleford-tigers-kenny-edwards-signs-new-long-term-contract-3743813 | false | 1 |
The arrival of the Liverpool team generates great excitement on matchdays at Anfield, but when does the bus arrive and where can you see it?
There have been some memorable welcomes for the Liverpool team bus at Anfield in recent years.
Fans are particularly keen to greet the players for big European nights or important Premier League encounters.
Here, we explain where you can welcome the team bus on matchdays.
Where does the bus come in?
The Liverpool team bus, it’s actually two buses as of 2022, arrives down Anfield Road to the corner of the Main Stand and Anfield Road End.
It then enters the stadium and parks up by the player’s entrance, neither of which are accessible to supporters.
Stewards ensure the roads close to Anfield are kept clear and the bus is escorted into the stadium.
How long before a match does the bus arrive?
Typically, the bus will arrive at Anfield just 75 minutes before kickoff. Get there around 90 minutes before kickoff is our advice.
Can fans welcome the bus on arrival?
Yes. Supporters are able to greet the coach on Anfield Road and the surrounding streets.
For the biggest games, supporters create a sea of red as the team arrives, lining the streets with flags and flares as the bus nears the stadium.
Plans are sometimes organised among supporters to welcome the team at certain times in certain areas.
Some Liverpool players have filmed the scenes from inside the bus in the past.
What does the bus look like?
You can’t miss it.
Having travelled in a black, neutral coach with no Liverpool branding prior to Jurgen Klopp‘s arrival, the manager decided he wanted something that stood out and represented the club in a clearer fashion.
The bus is bright red with the words ‘We Are Liverpool’ and ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ printed across the sides.
It was first introduced in January 2017 and remains the coach the Liverpool team travels on for home and away matches.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the team have actually arrived in two coaches – the red one and the black undecorated one.
Does the Anfield Road End redevelopment change anything?
It is highly unlikely that the bus will change its course or arrive in a different area as the redevelopment of the Anfield Road End nears completion.
After construction is complete, Anfield Road itself will allow cars from the other direction again, where the team bus used to arrive from, driving past The Arkles pub, so the entry route could change back to that again.
Work on the stand remains on track to be completed in the summer of 2023. | https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/06/when-and-where-the-liverpool-team-bus-arrives-on-matchdays-at-anfield/ | 2022-06-24T08:27:34Z | https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/06/when-and-where-the-liverpool-team-bus-arrives-on-matchdays-at-anfield/ | false | 1 |
The Centre has extended a Z category cover of armed CRPF commandos to the opposition's presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha, officials said on Friday. The squad has taken over the task after the Union home ministry directed the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) VIP security wing to ensure protection to the 84-year-old Sinha.
The armed personnel, about eight to ten working in shifts, will escort Sinha whenever he moves across the country, they said. A higher Z-plus cover of CRPF commandos has also been accorded to the NDA presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu. Sinha is expected to file his nomination on June 27 following which he will travel across the country seeking votes in his favour.
The presidential election would be held on July 18 to elect a successor to incumbent Ram Nath Kovind and the result would be out on July 21. Kovind's term will end on July 24.

(Photo:YouTube)
The trailer for Ranbir Kapoor’s film Shamshera was released on Friday. The film which has already created quite the buzz on the internet for being a visual treat is centred around Ranbir’s character as he battles the antagonist of the film, Sanjay Dutt character – Daroga Shuddh Singh.
Set in the 1800s, the film is about a dacoit tribe who are fighting for their rights and independence from the British. The film is touted to be a story of heroism, and patriotism while also revolving around the character of Shamshera as he struggles to fight for the same.
The trailer for the film tangentially touches upon the storyline and seemed to be entertaining, thanks to Ranbir's quirky avatar. The film also seems to be a visual spectacle of massive proportions. Ranbir seems to be an expert decoit with has his heart in the right place, playing a double role, the character seems both awe-inspiring and amusing.
The trailer was complete with glimpses from a few songs that will be a part of the film. But more importantly, Shamshera showcases Ranbir Kapoor in a completely new avatar.

Real Digital will be guaranteed by the Central Bank. It is the possibility of using new technologies, with the reduction of paper costs. In other words, the new money will function as an extension of physical currency, with the promise of faster payments.
Real Digital and money control
According to an article published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the Central Bank will have full control of the population’s money through Real Digital.
That’s because the system will allow the Central Bank to stop people’s withdrawals. Or even freeze and postpone the redemption of the money.
BC’s expectation is that Real Digital will stimulate innovation. This would be through smart contracts, as well as scheduled payments and more personalized solutions.
In addition, the entire Real Digital environment is regulated and secure. Another advantage is that digital currency should have less volatility in prices compared to cryptocurrencies.
In the case of companies, they will be able to use Real Digital through a regulatory environment. Individuals will be able to make transfers between accounts and payments.
The digital version of the real has been studied by the Central Bank since 2015. Since then, several advances have been made and new tests should improve the Digital Real before its wide release. The expectation is to create the possibility of new business models, with a more inclusive banking system.
Digital banks will be able to turn deposits into tokens to access the new services. And such tokens can be converted into Real Digital. But all within a schedule, with scheduling and daily limit so that deposits become real digital. Thus, the Central Bank will be responsible for controlling the flow of money. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/23/real-digital-should-expand-control-of-money/ | 2022-06-24T08:36:53Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/23/real-digital-should-expand-control-of-money/ | true | 1 |

“Today is as special a day as the goal I scored in the Champions League final,” said Vini Jr.
– I’ve always dreamed of this moment here, I’ve always dreamed of making my family’s dream come true, of helping those who need it as much as I needed it when I was little. I know it’s only been one year, but we’re already helping a lot of people – declared the striker.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court gave Republican legislative leaders in North Carolina a win Thursday in a fight over the state's latest photo identification voting law.
The 8-1 decision does not end the three-year-plus dispute over the voter ID law, which is not in effect and has been challenged in state and federal courts. The Supreme Court's ruling just means that the legislative leaders can intervene in the federal case to defend the law. A lower court had ruled the lawmakers' interests were being adequately represented by the state's attorney general, Democrat Josh Stein.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote: "Through the General Assembly, the people of North Carolina have authorized the leaders of their legislature to defend duly enacted state statutes against constitutional challenge. Ordinarily, a federal court must respect that kind of sovereign choice, not assemble presumptions against it."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
North Carolina voters amended the state constitution in 2018 to include a voter ID mandate. Lawmakers then passed the law at issue in the case to put in place the change. The law requires voters to show a photo ID to vote — a driver's license, a passport or certain student and local government identifications.
Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the measure, but lawmakers overrode it. The state NAACP and several local chapters immediately sued in federal court to halt enforcement, arguing that the law discriminates against Black and Latino voters in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act.
North Carolina's House speaker, Tim Moore, and Senate leader, Phil Berger — both Republicans — wanted to intervene in the federal case to defend the law alongside lawyers for the state, saying Stein would not adequately fight for the law. A federal judge said no, that lawmakers' interests were being adequately defended by lawyers in Stein's agency. A three-judge federal appeals court panel ruled for the lawmakers before the full federal appeals court reversed the decision, ruling 9-6 that lawmakers should not be allowed to intervene.
Berger praised the Supreme Court ruling, saying that previous opposition by Stein and Cooper to voter ID had resulted in "intentionally sandbagging" the law's defense.
"North Carolinians overwhelmingly support voter ID, and they deserve nothing less than the strongest representation from those who would uphold the will of the voters and our constitution, not a tepid defense by an attorney general who has a record of opposing voter ID," Moore said in a news release.
A spokesperson for the attorney general's office, Nazneen Ahmed, wrote in an email that Stein "has and will continue to vigorously defend state law" and did not formally oppose the legislators' efforts to join in the defense. In a legal brief to the justices, Stein and other state lawyers wrote that respect needed to be given to the executive branch's powers to defend the state in court.
As for the law itself, it was initially blocked by the judge in the case, who said it was "impermissibly motivated, at least in part, by discriminatory intent." But the three-judge appeals panel reversed her decision and sent it back to U.S. District Court, where a trial has yet to start.
In litigation in state court, judges struck down the law as tainted by racial bias. North Carolina's Supreme Court has said it will take up the case, but no date has been set for oral arguments.
Separately, North Carolina's highest court has also already heard arguments in a lawsuit over whether the constitutional amendment mandating voter ID should have been allowed on the November 2018 ballot in the first place. A state judge had ruled that the GOP-controlled legislature lacked authority to put the amendment and one other on the ballot because lawmakers had been elected from racially biased districts two years earlier. That decision was later overturned on appeal before going to the state's highest court, where a ruling is pending.

On March 28, 2022, five members of the Phoenixville Area School District board voted to approve the sale of the old Kindergarten Center located at 100 School Lane in Phoenixville to Toll Brothers Inc. for $4.6 million despite overwhelming public outcry against the sale and little to no public deliberation. This after only having the item listed on public agendas for a few months, and with most of the board there for less than 6 months.
I became involved in late 2021 when a community member contacted me with concerns over an item on an agenda to sell a parcel of land in the borough of Phoenixville. What started as a simple request for more information and due diligence has now turned into a legal matter. The question is, why is the board rushing the process to sell a property they held for years pending possible future use? What is the rush now?
The old Kindergarten Center in Phoenixville is a large parcel in a part of the Borough that is walkable to downtown, in a neighborhood of small bungalow-style houses and without direct access to major roadways. Suddenly, the five board members, without any special hearing or detailed public deliberation or transparent due diligence, pushed through a vote against overwhelming public opposition.
Some of the questions brought to the board included concerns about stormwater, drainage, contamination and loss of habitat, as well as the fact that development could cause irreparable environmental harm. Another question asked was with regard to tax increases due to development. According to the Chester County Planning Commission report, Return on Environment, development can cost taxpayers $1.11 per tax dollar while open space can cost as little as $.07 per dollar (https://www.chescoplanning.org/OpenSpace/ROE-CommunityCost.cfm). There are other reasons to preserve open space according to this report, from increased property values to the health and wellness of the community.
Why then did 5 members of the Phoenixville Area School board vote to sell this parcel of land that is one of the last large open spaces in the Borough of Phoenixville, especially given the fact that over 1,000 community members signed a petition and the borough wanted to buy the land and keep as open space?
Dozens of community members spoke, echoing the petition, asking the board not to approve the sale and many spoke at the only two board meetings where the vote was to take place, overwhelmingly (all but one person spoke against the sale), asking them to not allow the sale for a proposed minimum of 80-plus townhomes, putting high-density housing development in an area that is not even zoned for that type of development.
It is up to the board to prove this sale benefits taxpayers, and so far, they have failed. The only reasons stated by board members so far are that the district isn’t in the “business of property management.” Spoiler alert, yes they are, and the second the board keeps repeating, that this sale has been discussed since 2017, again, spoiler, no it has not.
The idea that the school district, one of the largest property owners in the area, which rents out both buildings and fields and employs numerous maintenance staff and built a “maintenance” building does not engage in property management is confusing, what are they doing if not managing the properties they own and rent?
On the second point, that supposedly this was discussed since 2017, the board had no substantive conversations about selling the land, and in fact, had agreed to hold the land pending the proposed Phoenixville commuter rail project.
The Phoenixville Area School District board agreed to hold this parcel of land from early 2018 until after I left the board at the end of 2019, and as far as I know, that was in place in 2020 as well. The first discussion of the sale seems to have been some time in 2021. And it is important to note that every member of the current board has been there 2 years or less, and some only a few months. So this idea that “the board” had conversations for 4 years is ridiculous.
From a lack of due diligence to allegations of misinformation, this sale is under scrutiny. In a highly questionable move, videos of past meetings were suddenly “deleted” by the district, videos that certainly would show what was, and what was not, discussed.
We now have a group working to protect open space. The coalition is raising money for legal fees, https://gofund.me/5ce5ef89, and filed a complaint with the Chester County Court of Common Pleas, alleging violations of the Sunshine Law.
The complaint alleges serious violations including failure to properly disclose meetings. In addition, there are questions about the information the district posted on the website, seemingly in an effort to justify the sale. Repeated questions on why the factors and variables seem to be incorrect have gone unanswered, as have many questions and concerns brought to the board, where taxpayers implored the board for additional study to ensure this sale was truly in the best interest of taxpayers.
During the April 25 PASD board meeting, I reminded the board of their oath of office and challenged them to explain how their vote upheld that oath. It should be noted that not a single member who voted has articulated a single reason why they voted for this sale, or how it upholds their oath.
Each of you swore an oath to uphold the PA Constitution. Now, please explain how your vote meets the requirement of this specific article:
Article I Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution states: The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people
This property belongs to taxpayers. Not the district. You are trustees for us, and yet the 5 who voted to sell ignored the overwhelming calls for additional review.
Organizers are planning a Community Town Hall for Sunday, June 26, from 3 to 5 pm on Washington Ave, overlooking the Kindergarten Center parking lot. The PASD school board meets on June 27 at 7 pm and members of the public are encouraged to attend and speak. Those interested in more information can contact the Phoenixville Area Friends of Open Space by emailing pxvareafriendsofopenspace@gmail.com

Scottish Open: Edinburgh's Meadowbank to stage 2022 world ranking event
Last updated on .From the section Snooker
Edinburgh's new Meadowbank Sports Centre will host this year's Scottish Open as the tournament returns to Scotland for the first time since 2019.
It is the first professional snooker event in the capital for 19 years, with Meadowbank opening to the public next month following a £47m rebuild after the stadium's closure in 2017.
The Scottish Open runs from November 28 to December 4.
The previous two editions were staged in Milton Keynes and Llandudno.
John Higgins, runner-up to Luca Brecel last year in Wales, said: "It's brilliant news for the Scottish players as we have really missed the chance to play in our home tournament over the last couple of years.
"I think there's a lot of support for snooker and a lot of people playing the game in Edinburgh. I would love to win it in front of my own fans."
With the top 16 seeded players all taking part in the world ranking event, the 70-player field is set to include the likes of Higgins, Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson and world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/61921672 | 2022-06-24T09:24:18Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/61921672 | false | 1 |
What Doug Ford's new cabinet faces: inflation, housing crisis, union talks
Cabinet swearing-in scheduled for 11:15 a.m. outside the Ontario Legislature
Ontario Premier Doug Ford will unveil his new cabinet on Friday morning in what is forecast to be glorious sunshine outside of Queen's Park.
But after that, stormy economic and political weather looms for Ford's second-term government.
Ontario confronts the highest rate of inflation in nearly 40 years, an economic reality that will have a strong influence on everything from the amount of tax revenue the government brings in to the amount of pressure public sector unions exert for higher wage increases.
The new cabinet also faces a housing affordability crisis that has spread to all corners of the province, an overburdened health-care system weakened by more than two years of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, and a long list of promises to be kept.
Ford and his newly appointed ministers are scheduled to be sworn in at 11:15 a.m. in an outdoor ceremony in front of the legislature.
As previously reported by CBC News, observers expect the new cabinet to be larger and more diverse than Ford's first in 2018.
Here's a look at the five biggest issues facing Ford and his ministers:
1. Inflation
The rapid rise in the cost of living is a far-reaching economic problem that no provincial government can be expected to solve, yet it's a problem that stands to have a profound effect on much of what the Ontario government does.
The Progressive Conservatives' measures to make life more affordable have so far focused primarily on making driving more affordable: scrapping Ontario's $120 vehicle registration fee, ending tolls on provincially owned highways, and promising to reduce the gasoline tax by 5.7 cents a litre for six months, effective July 1.
Inflation will in many ways help the government's coffers: when consumer goods cost more, sales tax revenue increases. Inflation doesn't seem to be hurting corporate profits so far, so the province can also expect its corporate tax revenues to rise accordingly.
Of course, inflation also makes it more expensive for the government to buy stuff and to build stuff, so expect to see the price tags for the government's big construction projects balloon past their budgets.
But the biggest inflationary concern for the government will be what it does to public sector wages. Salaries account for roughly half of the province's annual operating budget.
2. Public sector contract talks
Whether it's teachers, nurses, hydro workers, police officers, road maintenance crews or Service Ontario staff, they're all seeing inflation eat into their take-home pay. That is bound to lead to public sector unions asking for higher wages whenever their next round of bargaining begins, the argument being that any annual wage increase of less than the rate of inflation amounts to a pay cut.
An annual inflation rate of 7.7 per cent sets a dramatically higher bar for pay increases than the public sector has seen for decades.
Add in the fact that the Ford government capped annual public sector pay hikes at 1 per cent through its Bill 124 at a time when private sector pay hikes were higher, and you've got significant pent-up demand for wage catch-ups.
It all sets the stage for some tough negotiations, starting with education workers. Don't forget that Ontario was seeing schools closed province-wide by teachers' strikes only weeks before the schools were closed as a result of COVID-19.
One of the stumbling blocks in those 2020 talks: the government was offering teachers one per cent wage hikes, and the unions wanted increases at the rate of inflation. Back then, inflation was running at around two per cent.
It will be particularly interesting to see how contract talks with health-care workers are handled, given all the praise Ford lavished on them during the pandemic. They'll understandably want the government to puts its money where its mouth is.
3. Health system
Ford's new minister of health will step into the shoes of Christine Elliott following her decision to leave politics.
Elliott's successor will inherit responsibility for a $68-billion system that is struggling to cope with staffing shortages, record wait times in emergency rooms, and a huge surgical backlog, even though there's currently a lull in COVID-19 cases in the province's hospitals.
The health minister will most immediately need to deal with the human resources crunch in health care and ensure the system is prepared for whatever new variant of COVID-19 might emerge in the fall. The new minister will also want to move further on the health-system reforms the government began pre-pandemic designed to tackle the root causes of the hallway medicine problem.
Sources close to the government have previously told CBC News that former solicitor general Sylvia Jones is the front-runner to be health minister, with Prabmeet Sarkaria, the former head of Treasury Board, also under consideration.
The last iteration of Ford's cabinet included an associate minister focused on mental health. Look to see whether that post stays in place as a signal that the issue remains a government priority.
4. Housing affordability
The soaring cost of buying a home has receded slightly in the past few months, since the Bank of Canada jacked up interest rates in an attempt to rein in inflation.
Still, the average sale price of a home in Ontario in May was 8.7 per cent higher than it was in May of 2021, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.
The government is promising to clear the way for 1.5 million new homes to be built in Ontario over the next decade, a target set by the province's housing affordability task force. But the government didn't exactly embrace much of the rest of the task force's recommendations, such as its call for greater density in neighbourhoods of single family homes.
The housing action plan the Ford government unveiled this spring is in large part focused on speeding up municipal approvals for development projects, and observers in the sector question whether that will go anywhere near far enough to boost the housing supply to a level that begins to rein in prices.
Housing is a candidate for getting its own associate minister in Friday's new cabinet, a move that would acknowledge the importance of the issue as well as offer an extra hand to the minister of municipal affairs and housing.
5. Keeping promises
Ford's won re-election on the simple slogan of "Get It Done" and a mantra of being the party saying "Yes." The lengthy list of things Ford said "Yes" to provides a handy scorecard to mark the government against over the coming months and years.
A few of the promises to keep your eye on:
- Will the province become, as Ford promised, a manufacturing hub for electric vehicles?
- Will the PC government really manage to open up northern Ontario's Ring of Fire as a major source of critical minerals?
- Will the many major infrastructure projects promised by the government (highways, transit, hospitals, and 30,000 new spaces in long-term-care) be built on time and on budget? | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-ontario-cabinet-preview-1.6497872?cmp=rss | 2022-06-24T09:24:24Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-ontario-cabinet-preview-1.6497872?cmp=rss | true | 3 |
