Japanese automotive giant Toyota issued a safety recall for more than 2,000 of its all-electric SUV, the bZ4X.
Announced Thursday, the recall relates to the bZ4X's wheels. Toyota said owners of the vehicle would be notified through a variety of channels, starting June 23. Tokyo-listed shares of the company finished 0.7% lower on Friday.
"After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on the wheel of the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle," a spokesperson for Toyota said in a statement sent to CNBC via email.
"If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash," they added.
According to the spokesperson, the recall is "for all bZ4X vehicles in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Approximately, 2,700 vehicles are involved in this action."
The cause of the issue remains under investigation. "No one should drive these vehicles until the remedy is performed," the spokesperson said.
Toyota is well known for its hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles but is now attempting to make headway in the increasingly competitive battery-electric market, where firms like Tesla and Volkswagen are jostling for position.
"Toyota has been under pressure to up its game in EVs, so will be very disappointed that a recall has been necessary on its first mass-market electric cars," David Leggett, automotive editor at GlobalData, told CNBC.com via email.
"On the plus side though, the recall is an early one in the model lifecycle and on a mechanical part that is nothing to do with the car's electric powertrain," Leggett added. "They'll hope to quickly overcome the issue."
Toyota launched the bZ4X in Japan last month, and it is the first model in the company's bZ series. Last December, the company's president, Akio Toyoda, said Toyota planned "to roll out 30 BEV models by 2030."
According to the International Energy Agency, electric vehicle sales hit 6.6 million in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, EV sales came to 2 million, a 75% increase compared to the first three months of 2021. | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/24/toyota-issues-recall-for-electric-suv-following-concerns-about-wheels.html | 2022-06-24T13:19:44Z | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/24/toyota-issues-recall-for-electric-suv-following-concerns-about-wheels.html | false | 1 |
PARIS (AP) — Emmanuel Macron may be weakened at home after parliamentary elections forced him into political maneuvering, but on the international stage the French president has the resources to remain one of the most influential world leaders.
France’s foreign allies closely watched Sunday’s elections where Macron’s alliance won the most seats but lost its majority in the National Assembly, France’s most powerful house of parliament.
The outcome has made the 44-year-old centrist’s life significantly harder at home, rendering the implementation of his agenda — such as pension changes and tax cuts — more difficult. Yet it is not expected to derail his international agenda in the immediate future.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Macron has been at the epicenter of international diplomacy and, despite a historic shift in French politics and growing polarization, experts say that’s not expected to change.
“There will be much more contrast between the pressure he might have at home compared to his freer rein abroad,” said Laurie Dundon, a France-based senior associate fellow with the European Leadership Network.
Macron, who is in Brussels for a two-day European Council summit, will next week head to Germany for the G-7 meeting and, the week after that, to Spain for the NATO summit.
The French president holds substantial powers over foreign policy, European affairs and defense. He is also the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces.
France has provided significant financial and military aid to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion and sent its troops to bolster Europe’s defenses on its eastern flank. During the presidential campaign in spring, Macron’s popularity rose because of his leadership role in efforts to end the war: He championed ever tougher sanctions against Moscow while keeping an open line with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been in near-constant contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Macron, who won a second term against far-right candidate Marine Le Pen in April, even traveled to Kyiv in the week between the two rounds of the parliamentary vote earlier this month, along with other European leaders.
France’s support for Ukraine is widely popular at home according to opinion polls, and opposition leaders have carefully avoided criticizing it.
The platform of the leftist coalition led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which has become France’s main opposition force, is explicitly in favor of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. On the far right, Le Pen, who has long had ties to Russia, now says she supports a “free Ukraine” while expressing reservations over arms deliveries.
“Foreign policy is not a realm where either Le Pen or Mélenchon want to expend their energy when they have so many domestic issues to challenge Macron on,” Dundon said.
“Neither one of them wants to get involved in the messiness of the diplomacy on Russia and Ukraine,” she said.
First elected in 2017, the staunchly pro-European Macron has never hidden his ambition for a leadership role in global diplomacy. His reelection in April bolstered his standing as a senior player in Europe as it faces the war in Ukraine and its consequences for the continent and beyond.
France’s strong presidential powers are a legacy from Gen. Charles de Gaulle’s will to have a stable political system throughout the Fifth Republic he established in 1958, after the post-World War II period experienced successions of short-lived, inefficient governments.
The president represents the country abroad, meeting with foreign heads of states and governments. It’s the prime minister, appointed by the president, who is accountable to parliament.
The National Assembly has negligible power over the president’s foreign agenda although it keeps control of government spending.
“Parliament has not been asked to give its opinion on the dispatch of arms to Ukraine, nor on France’s external operations, notably in the Sahel, in the Middle East as part of the anti-ISIS coalition, or in Afghanistan,” Nicolas Tenzer, Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, wrote.
Parliament must, however, give its authorization for an extension of these operations after four months, he stressed.
The emboldened opposition, both on the left and on the right, could seek to use parliament’s power to force a debate. Every week, lawmakers are entitled to question government members — but not the president — including about foreign policy. It’s an opportunity to raise criticism on key issues.
But the debate in France is widely expected to remain focused on domestic policies.
In a sign that the president’s attention might be shifting at least temporarily to political realignment at home, Macron hardly mentioned his international agenda on Wednesday when he delivered his first speech since the parliamentary elections. He only briefly referred to the European meeting focusing on Ukraine.
“I will have only one compass: that we move forward for the common good,” he told the French.

New Calgary greenhouse to quadruple farm's production of food for people in need
New Calgary greenhouse to quadruple farm's production of food for people in need
With the grand opening of a new greenhouse, an urban farm in southeast Calgary is better positioned to navigate the difficulties of farming in Alberta.
From cold winters to unpredictable seeding seasons and common concerns about draught, it's no secret that farming in the region has its fair share of challenges.
Highfield Farm is now capable of growing at least twice the amount of food it had previously produced annually by expanding its indoor growing capacity.
The project was backed by $277,000 in funding through the Local Food Infrastructure Fund, delivered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Highfield Farm currently has about 15,000 square feet of garden space and more than 200 members who volunteer their time to garden and harvest fresh produce.
Almost all of the fresh food grown on the farm is donated to charities including the Calgary Food Bank and the Mustard Seed.
"We should easily be able to quadruple that amount of food harvested for now with this greenhouse," said Heather Ramshaw, operations manager at Highfield Farm, told CTV News in January.
"We're hoping this year and over the years to kind of develop our sales channels, if possible, to try and cover some of the costs of growing the food as well, but we're very happy to be able to provide fresh, whole local foods to food access organizations."
Friday's grand opening of the greenhouse is set for 11 a.m.

A full tank of petrol now costs more than £100 and diesel is edging ever closer to a frightening £2 a litre, leaving drivers struggling to find ways to save money.
Buying a new car isn’t a cheap option but if you’re in the market for new wheels, it’s worth knowing which will return the best MPG to save money in the long run.
Now, new research has identified the most fuel efficient new cars on sale in the UK as well as the most economical models from every major car brand.
The What Car? list has named the Mercedes-Benz C300e as the most economical car in the country, with the plug-in hybrid returning an official 470.8mpg.
It leads a list of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, with premium brands such as Volvo, Land Rover and Lexus joined by mainstream marques such as Volkswagen, Skoda and Toyota.
The Volvo S80 Recharge T8 took second spot with an official economy of 403mpg, followed by the Range Rover Sport P400e at 341.2mpg. Other models to feature in the list include the Skoda Octavia iV, Suzuki Across, Peugeot 308 and Ford Kuga.
PHEV cars offer staggering official economy figures thanks to the way they are lab tested. Real-world drivers rarely achieve the official figures, even with regular charging of the batteries, but the figures give an indication of how different models compare.
PHEVs’ electric-only ranges have also improved in recent years, with the C300e capable of up to 62 miles on a charge and the Volvo able to do up to 52 miles on battery power alone.
What Car? editor Steve Huntingford said: “Given the rising cost of living, things like fuel economy are an increasingly important consideration for car buyers.
“The good news is modern PHEVs, in particular, are capable of incredible efficiency if you do mostly short journeys and plug them in regularly.”
The What Car? List is dominated by plug-in hybrid models but if a petrol/electric model doesn’t fit your life, we’ve also compiled a list of the most efficienct non-hybrids currently on sale.
For buyers looking to save money, electric cars offer a cheaper per-mile running cost than even the best PHEVs but there are factors such as charger access and up-front prices to consider. But if an electric car is an option, we’ve got also a rundown of the cheapest new models, those with the longest ranges and some of the best used EVs to consider. | https://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/most-fuel-efficient-cars-uk-the-new-car-with-the-best-fuel-economy-mercedes-volvo-skoda-toyota-peugeot-ford-3740918 | 2022-06-24T13:21:40Z | https://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/most-fuel-efficient-cars-uk-the-new-car-with-the-best-fuel-economy-mercedes-volvo-skoda-toyota-peugeot-ford-3740918 | false | 16 |

By 2030 brands such as Jaguar, Bentley, Cadillac, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce plan to produce 100 percent electric lineups, but Moke America is already here.
Moke America CEO and founder Todd Rome brought back the Moke in 2016, with a few important changes. Not only is the open-air vehicle electric, but it's bigger, sturdier and more modern that its predecessor. In fact, Rome is all in on the electric car concept, and expects to see double digit growth over the next decade with traditional car companies leaning into electric vehicles. Between Americans feeling high fuel prices this summer and the growth of electric vehicles as an eco-friendly alternative to gas guzzlers, electric vehicles are just scratching the surface of the category's potential. And with over 4,000 Mokes on the road, and over $100M in sales since its inception, Moke America sees no signs of slowing down.
Each electric Moke is hand-built to order in Sarasota, FL., and customers can choose from 12 rainbow bright colors, multiple seating configurations and other stylish options. Starting at $21,975, the Moke is 100 percent electric, street legal and good for the environment. Classified as a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) or Low Speed Vehicle (LSV), the Moke reaches a top speed of 25 MPH and is street legal on all roads 35 MPH or less. Plug it into any 110 outlet for 40 miles of fun; no special charging stations required.
Celebrity owners include the Kardashians, who were each gifted a fully customized cruiser by matriarch Kris Jenner last Christmas, as well as Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner. Moke America has also injected its electric cars into one of the most popular movie franchises in the world with two special edition 007 Mokes available for sale, paying homage to James Bond's eternal style. Having partnered with luxury brands in the past such as Louis Vuitton, Vilebrequin and Fred Segal, the easy-breezy luxury cruisers have become a favorite of country clubs, vineyards and resorts.
The Moke is available to order online: www.mokeamerica.com. For media relations, please contact Vanessa Menkes at vanessa@vanessamenkes.com.

UK announces £2.7m funding for LGBT rights campaigners across the Commonwealth
The money will help organisations working to reform laws that fail to protect LGBT people from violence and discrimination.
Boris Johnson has announced £2.7 million in fresh funding to help LGBT rights activists fight discrimination and violence across Commonwealth countries.
The Prime Minister said the values held dear by the nations “should apply to everyone in society” as he unveiled the support package during a meeting of leaders of the Commonwealth in Rwanda.
The funding will help civil society organisations, including The Commonwealth Equality Network and Kaleidoscope Trust, working to amend discriminatory laws and policies still faced by many LGBT people in Commonwealth nations.
The Pride programme at July’s Commonwealth Games in the UK will also get £40,000 from the Government.
The three main athlete villages will have a Pride House presence for the first time at the Commonwealth Games.
Mr Johnson said: “The Commonwealth is a voluntary grouping of independent and equal nations, but as a collective it has long been a powerful force for good. The values that our members hold dear, from human rights to equality, should apply to everyone in society.
“I am immensely proud of the UK’s record on LGBT rights – the freedom to love who you want is a core British value and a vital component of any democracy. I hope (the) world will see these values in action at next month’s Commonwealth Games”.
Some of the money will go to a secure data storage system for LGBT refugees from Afghanistan.
The UK has invested more than £11 million in the promotion of LGBT rights across the Commonwealth since 2018.

Baz Luhrman’s “Elvis” is out at theaters today. Actor Austin Butler says he tried everything to tune into the character of Elvis Presley for the movie “Elvis,” including singing. His actually voice is featured in the singing scenes in the movie. Butler sings all of Elvis’ earlier “unguarded” performances in the movie. Then later on his real singing voice is blended with Elvis’ voice. Butlers voice is part of what landed him the role.
Interesting fact: Baz Lurhman says he received a tear filled audition tape from Austin and that initially got his attention. Than Baz received a phone call from Denzel Washington telling Baz to audition Austin for the part and that the kid would be perfect. Denzel was appearing in a show with Austin and couldn’t say enough great things about him.

John Green was in a taxi with his wife Maria on his way home from the airport after a holiday in Turkey.
"We got stuck in major traffic on the hottest day of the year with no water and my wife and myself were feeling really dehydrated and started to feel ill and worried how long we would be without water,” he said.
"My wife started to panic a bit because the heat in the car was quite intense.
“I saw a Tesco van in the distance so thought I would chance my arm and see if the driver could help and asked if he had any water on board.
“He was happy to help out and go through the deliveries to find me and my wife some water.
“I offered to pay but he said he was just happy he could help out – what a star!
“He also helped out some others that had diabetes and needed to eat before taking medication.”
And in a personal message to the Tesco driver – Ross Youngman from Crawley – John labelled him a ‘top man’ and said: “It's a shame there aren't more people like you in the world.”
And in a message to his Tesco bosses he said: “You must be so proud to have staff like Ross to represent your company.”
And he echoed the Tesco slogan: “Every little helps!”
Tesco manager at Crawley customer fulfilment centre Matt Price later praised Ross for helping the motorway users.
He said: “We’ve been so proud to hear about Ross’s actions and join in with those he helped in saying a big ‘thank you’ to Ross.
"We’re always looking to provide the best service but sometimes a small kindness can really make a big difference and Ross’s actions that day were inspiring, making quick decisions to support members of the public who were faced with a worrying situation.
"I know he is grateful to have received such a lovely response from so many people.

Kyiv to create territorial defense headquarters ahead of Russia's potential invasion
Kyiv authorities are establishing a territorial defense headquarters to ensure the capital city's security in the event of an all-out military invasion by Russia.
The city's territorial defense grid is going to be unfolded soon, according to a statement published on Dec. 27.
"Russia's allegations and threats, the concentration of the aggressor state's military power at our borders incline us to get ready for various scenarios," Kyiv Major Vitaliy Klitschko said.
"That includes the worst-case scenario. We need to have a clear emergency plan and processed coordination of activities among all services and their branches."
Security across the country in many ways depends on the capital city's safety, the official added. Kyiv is home to over 500 critical infrastructure facilities that need to be safeguarded in case of an emergency, according to the city administration.
Territorial defense units may help with spreading information among the population, train civilians for resistance, participate in the defense of the population, the state border and critical infrastructure facilities, among other things.
Ukraine aims to create a brand new territorial defense system as a standalone branch within Ukraine's Armed Forces. The territorial defense units are to be established all across the country, mainly in large urban communities, with contracted personnel keeping their civilian jobs and getting summoned for regular drills in their home regions.
The new homeland defense branch is expected to provide the military with a large reserve of manpower for auxiliary activities in the rear. In case of enemy invasion and occupation, territorial defense units are also expected to offer armed resistance, along with the regular military.
According to a bill signed into law by President Volodymyr Zelensky in early August, the Territorial Defense Forces branch is expected to enlist a total of nearly 11,000 reserve troops.
Kyiv also continues establishing its own weekend warriors formation, the 122nd Territorial Defense Brigade, which, according to the city administration, welcomes new recruits. In January, the formation is expected to carry out staff exercises.
The acute border crisis between Ukraine and Russia has been going on since November when Ukrainian and Western intelligence warned of the drastic resurgence of Russian military power in regions bordering Ukraine and in the Russian-occupied areas.
The buildup, along with the Kremlin's fiery rhetoric towards Ukraine and the West raised concerns about a possible large invasion, seriously escalating the eight-year static war in the Donbas that has claimed over 13,000 lives.
Despite the intense diplomatic effort by Western leaders, Russia has shown no signs of de-escalation. According to NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, the Russian buildup continued as of late December.
Ukraine's intelligence estimated that Russia now has nearly 122,000 troops deployed in regions within 200 kilometers from the Ukrainian state border.
Amid the tense situation, Moscow has repeatedly issued aggressive demands for NATO to accept a legal guarantee not to let Ukraine join the Alliance and cease its military presence in Eastern Europe.
Following an invitation from Stoltenberg, the Kremlin announced a NATO-Russia Council meeting over Ukraine due on Jan. 12. A day before that, Russia is also expected to have talks with the U.S. | https://kyivindependent.com/national/kyiv-to-create-territorial-defense-headquarters-ahead-of-russias-potential-invasion | 2022-06-24T13:28:55Z | https://kyivindependent.com/national/kyiv-to-create-territorial-defense-headquarters-ahead-of-russias-potential-invasion | false | 1 |

Israel-based Stratasys is planning a rapid expansion of its 3D printing sector in India. Ashok Leyland, Hero MotoCorp, AIIMS, Symbiosis, and IITs are among the clientele of the company, which has 30 years of experience in design prototyping, manufacturing tools, and production parts.
3D printing segment in India important for israel firm
The company believes that one of the key solutions to the supply chain problems facing the manufacturing sector is 3D printing. Stratasys' leadership was interviewed by CNBC-TV18's Abhimanyu Sharma, who also discussed the potential applications of 3D printing.
3D printing is widely used to produce a wide range of products, from landform 3D prints used to develop defence strategies, to the production of automotive lights.
Also read:
So how does 3D printing actually work?
This 3D printer, which functions like a regular inkjet printer but prints solid forms, uses an acrylic-based polymer material that is inserted into the cartridge. This is an entry level multi-material printer, where an in-built computer slices each layer of the inserted raw material to match the intended design.
What comes out in a few hours is not just a product, but also a solution that can reduce the industry's dependence on supply chains.
According to Guy Yair, EVP, EMEA and Asia, Stratasys, "The manufacturing sector is constantly changing, which is posing a problem for the supply chain. A time-honored innovation to replace conventional supply chains is 3D printing."
Automotive and consumer goods will benefit from the low cost of material and production for 3D printing, he added.
While an in-built AI software optimises printing to simplify processes, save time and raw material, over 5 lakh colours can be printed using a combination of materials. Stratasys says its 3D printers can produce any colour in the printed item, as long as the relevant code has been fed in.
Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, told CNBCTV18 that the company has "worked with the US Navy's air wing to provide them with 25 sizeable industrial 3D printers. Using distributed manufacturing, the US Navy fabricates components for their aircraft using our 3D printers".
Aircraft parts are printed using 3D printers in Germany and Japan, with data being transferred over secure networks. Using this technology, items like the side lamp on a Mini Cooper can be customised, which will create countless design opportunities, he added.
Zeif added that 3D printing is used to create medical training models for doctors and automotive parts like the carbon fibre brake pedal, which can't be easily broken.
The market for 3D printing is currently worth around $15 million. According to Stratasys, 3D printing has a significant growth potential and soon may enable 24-hour production.
Increasingly more industries are using 3D printing. Future developments in the automotive, healthcare, and defence sectors will see greater use of the technology. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/companies/3d-printing-segment-in-india-important-for-israel-firm-13930112.htm | 2022-06-24T13:32:01Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/companies/3d-printing-segment-in-india-important-for-israel-firm-13930112.htm | true | 2 |

FALKVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A man suspected of killing a woman and child in Ohio was found dead in Alabama from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, news outlets reported.
Dante Rashad Hawes, 32, of Dayton, Ohio, was found dead inside a vehicle Thursday afternoon in Falkville, Morgan County Coroner Jeff Chunn told news outlets. The man took his own life, Chunn said.
The vehicle was located just off Interstate 65 about 450 miles (724 kilometers) south of Dayton, where authorities found the bodies of a woman and girl dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside a home on Thursday morning.
Hawes was suspected of killing the two, who were his girlfriend and a young girl, Chunn said. Authorities didn't immediately identify the victims, and it wasn't clear how long they had been dead. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Man-suspected-in-2-Ohio-killings-found-dead-in-17262960.php | 2022-06-24T13:41:35Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Man-suspected-in-2-Ohio-killings-found-dead-in-17262960.php | true | null |

LAHORE: Former Punjab chief minister Usman Buzdar Friday approached the Lahore High Court (LHC) once again complaining that the provincial government has provided him with vehicles that are “malfunctioning and defective”.
“…the vehicles which have been provided to the applicant (Buzdar) are malfunctioning and are also defective,” the ex-chief minister’s lawyer said in a petition filed on his behalf after the case was shifted from the court’s Multan bench to Lahore.
The petition read that the staff members have not been provided or attached with Buzdar and it is imperative to “highlight that the police officers which have been provided to him are not fulfilling their duties in an efficient and well-organised manner”.
It further stated that as stipulated in the Section 21-A of the Punjab Ministers (Salaries, Allowances and privileges) Act, 1975, Buzdar is entitled to specific perks and privileges including the provision of staff members, police officers, vehicles, etc.
“…other facilities in terms of the aforementioned provisions have not been provided to the applicant, hence, this instant application before this Honorable Court,” the petition read. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/424267-usman-buzdar-moves-lhc-after-govt-allots-malfunctioning-defective-vehicles-for-security | 2022-06-24T13:43:08Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/424267-usman-buzdar-moves-lhc-after-govt-allots-malfunctioning-defective-vehicles-for-security | false | 1 |

West urges Ukraine to complete key judicial, anti-corruption reforms quickly
Western diplomats urged Ukraine to complete key anti-corruption and judicial reforms in a quick, fair and transparent way at the “Seven Years of Anti-Corruption Reforms” conference in Kyiv on Dec. 9.
The event was co-hosted by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP), the European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) and The United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The event's recording is available to watch in English here.
Judicial reform
Matti Maasikas, the EU ambassador to Ukraine, said at the conference that Ukraine’s judicial reforms “should be concluded swiftly and with full thoroughness.”
The reform plan envisages firing and rehiring members of Ukraine’s two main judicial bodies based on ethics and integrity criteria. It has been delayed for years but started moving forward this month.
Maasikas also said that “a reform of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine should be taken on.” However, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, which has a majority in parliament, has rejected the idea of holding a transparent competition for Constitutional Court jobs.
Anti-corruption prosecutor
Maasikas said that the selection of the anti-corruption prosecutor and a new head of the NABU should be carried out quickly and transparently.
The office of the chief anti-corruption prosecutor has been vacant since August 2020, when the previous holder of the job, Nazar Kholodnytsky, resigned. The selection process of his successor has been delayed for months.
The NABU head is expected to be replaced when incumbent Artem Sytnyk’s term ends in February 2022.
“Anti-corruption institutions started delivering tangible results, and vested interests are fighting back,” Maasikas said. “....Sustaining the independence and effectiveness of anti-corruption institutions - the NABU, NACP, anti-corruption prosecutor’s office (SAPO) and the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), should be a clear priority.”
Maasikas insisted on “guarantees for de-politicized and merit-based selection processes for leadership positions.”
“It will be crucial that the selection process for the new head of SAPO will be concluded without any further delays,” Maasikas said. “The process has been dragging on for far too long.”
Kristina Kvien, the U.S. charge d'affaires in Ukraine, welcomed the shift in the selection process of the new anti-corruption prosecutor.
“The U.S. urges continued progress to ensure that this selection process is without further interference and with full transparency. We would love to see it completed before 2022,” she said.
Vovk's role?
NABU chief Sytnyk told the conference that there are “constant attempts to postpone or disrupt” the selection of the chief anti-corruption prosecutor.
“They have exhausted every opportunity to delay this selection process, and unacceptable and non-transparent things are going on,” he added. “I don’t rule out that there will be a decision of the Kyiv District Administrative Court (to cancel the selection results).”
Oleksandr Kareyev, a candidate who has been vetoed by the selection panel, has already filed a complaint against the commission to the Kyiv District Administrative Court, headed by notorious judge Pavlo Vovk. The court accepted the lawsuit for consideration.
The Anti-Corruption Action Center believes that the President’s Office has been disrupting selection panel meetings because it does not want an independent prosecutor to be chosen.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied pressuring the selection process.
Sytnyk also complained that, although the NABU acquired independent wiretapping powers in 2019, the bureau still can’t exercise them as the law has not yet been implemented. The NABU must instead use the wiretapping equipment of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the National Police, which results in information leaks to suspects.
Tatarov case
Meanwhile, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention’s chief Oleksandr Novikov told the Kyiv Independent at the conference that the agency is checking whether Zelensky's deputy chief of staff Oleh Tatarov has a conflict of interest.
Tatarov was charged in 2020 with bribing a forensic expert. Zelensky has refused to fire or suspend him despite public outrage. A petition for Tatarov’s dismissal collected 25,000 signatures in June.
Back in 2020, the President’s Office claimed that Tatarov’s functions related to law enforcement had been suspended. However, Zelensky said on Nov. 26 that Tatarov still oversees law enforcement. Asked whether there is a conflict of interest, Zelensky said “probably not.”
Overall results
Although many speakers praised Ukraine’s supposed progress in enacting anti-corruption reforms over the past seven years, the overall statistics for top officials announced by Sytnyk are meager.
Six ministers and deputy ministers, 11 state agency heads, 20 members of parliament, 67 judges and 78 state firm executives have been charged in NABU cases so far, he said. Out of these, four judges, two regional government officials and two prosecutors have been convicted, Sytnyk added.
The conference featured many Western officials, including Claude Wild, Switzerland’s ambassador to Ukraine; Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod; Allan Pagh Kristensen, head of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative, and Eka Tkeshelashvili, the chief of party of Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions in Ukraine (SACCI).
The event was also attended by Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova; Maksym Hryshchuk, acting chief anti-corruption prosecutor; Anastasia Radina, head of parliament’s anti-corruption committee; Dmytro Zhovarovych, acting head of the ARMA; and Olena Tanasevych, head of the High Anti-Corruption Court.
Activists and experts from the Anti-Corruption Action Center, anti-corruption watchdog AutoMaidan and legal think-tank DEJURE, as well as investigative journalist Denys Bihus, also spoke at the conference. | https://kyivindependent.com/national/west-urges-ukraine-to-complete-key-judicial-anti-corruption-reforms-quickly | 2022-06-24T13:48:18Z | https://kyivindependent.com/national/west-urges-ukraine-to-complete-key-judicial-anti-corruption-reforms-quickly | true | 1 |
FedEx, UPS drivers write comments on package about family’s abortion sign
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE/Gray News) - It sparked outrage and conversation the second it was posted on social media.
A doorbell camera captured a FedEx delivery driver writing something on a box. Then a UPS driver pulls out a marker of his own and writes a message later that same day.
It was all centered around a sign in the family’s front yard that said, ‘Keep abortion safe and legal.’
The family who lives in the home said that the sign has been up for months, but they’ve never had any issues.
Recently, their doorbell camera captured a FedEx driver writing on a box while walking up their sidewalk to make a delivery.
The message reads, “It shouldn’t be but don’t worry it will be, just not in Kentucky. Because it is murder of a life. Good day.” The family said they believe that the message was in response to their yard sign.
“Literal shock,” Mallory Disbrow said. “I could not believe that a FedEx driver, wearing a FedEx uniform, would have written that. This isn’t a comment box on Facebook. This isn’t just something you drop and run away. I mean, we could absolutely knock on the door, have a conversation. I’d be willing to have a conversation about anything I put in my yard. That’s why I put it there.”
The story takes another twist when the couple’s surveillance cameras capture a UPS driver arriving later in the day. He appeared to read the message that the FedEx driver had written on the box, and proceeds to cross it out with a marker, writing instead ‘Continue to exercise your first amendment rights- UPS.’
“We create laws for humans. We need to be fair and expect others to treat everyone well, and we hope that’s the way our girls approach life,” Disbrow said. “We live on a street that has varying opinions about the world, and we all come together. We have a great street. We all come together. We have happy hours in the front yard.”
Disbrow’s husband, Chase Abell, said that the couple contacted FedEx, and an employee told them that they take these matters seriously. But they haven’t heard anything else.
“Why would somebody write a message like that on somebody else’s property?” Abell said. “I mean, we’re all entitled to our own opinions, of course, but I didn’t stop him and write nasty comments on his truck before he drove away.”
The couple said that they plan to keep the box as a memento to use to teach their children someday: “We’re just trying to set a better example, and try to make a better world for our girls, who are 20 months old.”
WAVE News reached out to both FedEx and UPS about the story. Reporters with WAVE have been in touch with UPS, but have not received a formal statement. FedEx has not yet responded.

London doctor turned down Nigerian 'organ-harvesting parents': Royal Free Hospital consultant refused to treat 15-year-old boy who was 'trafficked from streets of Lagos so senator and wife's sick daughter could have his kidney'
- Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, and Ike Ekweremadu, 60, are both from Nigeria
- Mr Ekweremadu is a People's Democratic Party politician from African country
- He was once Deputy President of nation's senate and is a principal in a law firm
- His wife is an academic and doctor in Abuja. Couple were visiting the UK in June
- Child alleged to have been trafficked for organs is now safe with the police
A NHS consultant blew the whistle on the former deputy president of the Nigerian Senate and his wife accused of trafficking a teenager they found on the streets of Lagos to harvest his organs for their sick daughter, a court has heard.
Ike Ekweremadu, 60, and Beatrice Ekweremadu, 55, are accused of taking the homeless youngster to the UK from Nigeria to transplant his organs to their daughter who is suffering from kidney failure.
The 15-year-old was given the passport of a 41-year-old in order to get into the UK, but did not know he was there to donate a kidney until he went a hospital appointment in London, a court heard yesterday.
After he arrived in the capital in February he had a string of medical appointments about kidney donation, but a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London, became concerned about the boy's real age and if he knew he was there to donate an organ, it is alleged.
Mr Ekweremadu has been an elected senator at the Abuja-based parliament since 2003 after moving into politics after years as a lawyer. His wife, five years his junior, is an academic and doctor and also a major public figure in Nigeria. They are believed to have four adult children. Both deny trafficking the boy.
Prosecutor Damla Ayas told Uxbridge Magistrates Court yesterday: 'The victim was 15. In Nigeria he was approached by both defendants. He was homeless on the streets of Lagos. They deceived him and promised him a better life in the UK. He was given a passport for a 41-year-old. The passport was illegally obtained by these defendants.
Ike Ekweremadu, 60, a People's Democratic Party politician in Nigeria and his wife Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, have been held on suspicion of plotting to harvest the organs of a child in the UK
Ekweremadu has been in the UK for at least the past fortnight having met with members of the Nigerian community in Britain in Lincoln (pictured right) and received a copy of the Magna Carta
A NHS consultant at the Royal Free in north London (pictured) blew the whistle on the former deputy president of the Nigerian Senate and his wife
'He was provided with a medical travel visa saying the purpose of the travel was to provide medical treatment for the defendants' daughter who was undergoing dialysis in relation to a number of health issues.
'It was premeditated, it was planned. Blood tests were obtained in Nigeria and he travelled to the UK in February this year.
Ekweremadu has been an elected senator at the Abuja-based parliament since 2003 after moving into politics after years as a lawyer
'He was taken to several medical appointments in particular a medical appointment at the Royal Free Hospital and was spoken to by a consultant about the organ harvesting for a kidney transplant.
'The consultant was concerned about his actual age and was concerned he was not aware he was the donor of the kidney. He only found out that the purpose of his visit was for an organ transplant when he visited the hospital.
Police were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery laws last month.
Ekweremadu has been in the UK for at least the past fortnight having met with members of the Nigerian community in Britain in Lincoln around ten days ago.
He tweeted: 'It was a pleasure and an honour to receive a letter of appointment by the University of Lincoln, UK, as Visiting Professor of Corporate and International Linkages. I also got a highly treasured gift - a copy of the Magna Carta. It was created in 1215, about 807 years ago'.
They arrested the couple two days ago at Heathrow Airport as they attempted to board a plane to Turkey - where it was suggested that the procedure could take place - the court heard.
Ekweremadu, 60, is said to have had £20,000 on him on at the time of his arrest, according to prosecutors.
The child is now under the care of safeguarding authorities and the Metropolitan Police, officials say.
The couple are two of the most famous faces in the West African state, and had been visiting the UK whe they were arrested
Ekweremadu and accountant wife Beatrice, 55, are charged with conspiracy to arrange or facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.
The senator was wearing a grey sweater while his wife was wearing a black and white knitted cardigan at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Prosecutor Damla Ayas said: 'It is conspiracy in relation to human trafficking offences for the purposes of organ harvesting. The victim in this case is 15 years old
'They the couple were interviewed at the police station. Both of the defendants have provided a prepared statement.
'Mr Ekweremadu in his prepared statement denied allegations of human trafficking.
'He said at no stage has he arranged transport for anyone with intention to exploit them.'
His wife similarly denied the allegations in her prepared statement, the court heard.
Gavin Irwin, representing Ekweremadu, said: 'There is no question this is a serious allegation. Mr Ekweremadu is a member of the senate in Nigeria.
'He has previously held an even more senior role as deputy president of the senate.
'He is a member of the bar in Nigeria. He is a principal in a law firm that bears his name.
'Those issues taken together go way beyond him being a person of good character…rather that he has led a blameless life as a public servant.'
Mr Irwin added that the allegations were 'nothing short of preposterous'.
Antonia Gray, for Mrs Ekweremadu, said: 'She has never been complicit or involved in any alleged illegal trafficking of any young person.
'She is a financial accountant…with an unblemished record.'
The couple have an address they could stay at in Willesden, northwest London, the court heard.
The prosecutor made an application to adjourn matters for 14 days.
Ms Ayas said: 'In respect of these offences Attorney General consent is required and the Crown require 14 days for that to be obtained.'
Magistrate Lois Sheard said: 'These are serious allegations and these matters are now adjourned until 7 July back here at Uxbridge.'
Ms Sheard remanded both defendants into custody ahead of their hearing next month.
The Ekweremadus are charged with 'conspiring to arrange or facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation....between 1 August 2021 and 5 May 2022 within the jurisdiction of Central Criminal Court'.
The investigation was launched by the Met's Specialist Crime team after detectives were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022.
The Met Police has confirmed that the boy is safe and being looked after. Mr Ekweremadu was held with Nwanneka Ekweremadu in Britain this month.
Mr Ekweremadu has been an elected senator at the Abuja-based parliament since 2003 after moving into politics after years as a lawyer.
His wife, five years his junior, is an academic and doctor and also a major public figure in Nigeria. They are believed to have four adult children.
The Metropolitan Police has said the child, who is under the age of 18, at the centre of the alleged plot is in care.
Organ harvesting involves removing parts of the body, often for cash and against the victim's will.
The investigation was launched after detectives were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022, the force said.

In 2017 a former Nigerian government minister claimed that migrants from his country were having their organs harvested after being sold into slavery.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a onetime aviation minister in Nigeria, claimed that 75 per cent of slaves who have their organs harvested in North Africa are from his country.
The Cambridge University-educated lawyer added that the victims have their 'bodies mutilated' and are 'roasted like suya [shish kebabs]'. He went on: 'Roasted alive! This is what Libyans do to sub-Saharan Africans who are looking for a transit point to Europe.
'They sell them into slavery and either murder, mutilate, torture or work them to death.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10948971/London-doctor-turned-Nigerian-organ-harvesting-parents.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-24T13:49:47Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10948971/London-doctor-turned-Nigerian-organ-harvesting-parents.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 9 |
(The Conversation) – When one of our students told us they were going to drop out of college in August 2021, it wasn’t the first time we’d heard of someone ending their studies prematurely.
What was new, though, was the reason. The student had become a victim of a cryptocurrency scam and had lost all their money – including a bank loan – leaving them not just broke, but in debt. The experience was financially and psychologically traumatic, to say the least.
This student, unfortunately, is not alone. Currently there are hundreds of millions of cryptocurrency owners, with estimates predicting further rapid growth. As the number of people owning cryptocurrencies has increased, so has the number of scam victims.
We study behavioral economics and psychology – and recently published a book about the rising problem of fraud, scams and financial abuse. There are reasons why cryptocurrency scams are so prevalent. And there are steps you can take to reduce your chances of becoming a victim.
Crypto takes off
Scams are not a recent phenomenon, with stories about them dating back to biblical times. What has fundamentally changed is the ease by which scammers can reach millions, if not billions, of individuals with a press of a button. The internet and other technologies have simply changed the rules of the game, with cryptocurrencies coming to epitomize the leading edge of these new cybercrime opportunities.
Cryptocurrencies – which are decentralized, digital currencies that use cryptography to create anonymous transactions – were originally driven by “cypherpunks,” individuals concerned with privacy. But they have expanded to capture the minds and pockets of everyday people and criminals alike, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the price of various cryptocurrencies shot up and cryptocurrencies became more mainstream. Scammers capitalized on their popularity. The pandemic also caused a disruption to mainstream business, leading to greater reliance on alternatives such as cryptocurrencies.
A January 2022 report by Chainanalysis, a blockchain data platform, suggests in 2021 close to US$14 billion was scammed from investors using cryptocurrencies.
For example, in 2021, two brothers from South Africa managed to defraud investors of $3.6 billion from a cryptocurrency investment platform. In February 2022, the FBI announced it had arrested a couple who used a fake cryptocurrency platform to defraud investors of another $3.6 billion
You might wonder how they did it.
Fake investments
There are two main types of cryptocurrency scams that tend to target different populations.
One targets cryptocurrency investors, who tend to be active traders holding risky portfolios. They are mostly younger investors, under 35, who earn high incomes, are well educated and work in engineering, finance or IT. In these types of frauds, scammers create fake coins or fake exchanges.
A recent example is SQUID, a cryptocurrency coin named after the TV drama “Squid Game.” After the new coin skyrocketed in price, its creators simply disappeared with the money.
A variation on this scam involves enticing investors to be among the first to purchase a new cryptocurrency – a process called an initial coin offering – with promises of large and fast returns. But unlike the SQUID offering, no coins are ever issued, and would-be investors are left empty-handed. In fact, many initial coin offerings turn out to be fake, but because of the complex and evolving nature of these new coins and technologies, even educated, experienced investors can be fooled.
As with all risky financial ventures, anyone considering buying cryptocurrency should follow the age-old advice to thoroughly research the offer. Who is behind the offering? What is known about the company? Is a white paper, an informational document issued by a company outlining the features of its product, available?
In the SQUID case, one warning sign was that investors who had bought the coins were unable to sell them. The SQUID website was also riddled with grammatical errors, which is typical of many scams.
Shakedown payments
The second basic type of cryptocurrency scam simply uses cryptocurrency as the payment method to transfer funds from victims to scammers. All ages and demographics can be targets. These include ransomware cases, romance scams, computer repair scams, sextortion cases, Ponzi schemes and the like. Scammers are simply capitalizing on the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies to hide their identities and evade consequences.
In the recent past, scammers would request wire transfers or gift cards to receive money – as they are irreversible, anonymous and untraceable. However, such payment methods do require potential victims to leave their homes, where they might encounter a third party who can intervene and possibly stop them. Crypto, on the other hand, can be purchased from anywhere at any time.
Indeed, Bitcoin has become the most common currency requested in ransomware cases, being demanded in close to 98% of cases. According to the U.K. National Cyber Security Center, sextortion scams often request individuals to pay in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Romance scams targeting younger adults are increasingly using cryptocurrency as part of the scam.
If someone is asking you to transfer money to them via cryptocurrency, you should see a giant red flag.
The Wild West
In the field of financial exploitation, more work has been done to study and educate elderly scam victims, because of the high levels of vulnerability in this group. Research has identified common traits that make someone especially vulnerable to scam solicitations. They include differences in cognitive ability, education, risk-taking and self-control.
Of course, younger adults can also be vulnerable and indeed are becoming victims, too. There is a clear need to broaden education campaigns to include all age groups, including young, educated, well-off investors. We believe authorities need to step up and employ new methods of protection. For example, the regulations that currently apply to financial advice and products could be extended to the cryptocurrency environment. Data scientists also need to better track and trace fraudulent activities.
Cryptocurrency scams are especially painful because the probability of retrieving lost funds is close to zero. For now, cryptocurrencies have no oversight. They are simply the Wild West of the financial world. | https://www.klfy.com/national/scams-and-cryptocurrency-can-go-hand-in-hand-heres-how-they-work-and-what-to-watch-out-for/ | 2022-06-24T13:51:50Z | https://www.klfy.com/national/scams-and-cryptocurrency-can-go-hand-in-hand-heres-how-they-work-and-what-to-watch-out-for/ | true | 31 |

Hamilton Paramedics took two people to hospital following a four-vehicle crash on Highway 6 near Mount Hope on Thursday evening.
Supt. Dave Thompson says the pair were taken to a trauma centre in “serious but stable” condition after four vehicles came together on the roadway between Haldibrook Road and Leeming Road.
OPP say the crash, which included a transport truck, closed a portion of Highway 6 from Unity Side Road to Leeming for hours.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — After two years of real-life drama and isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, the stars and shows of daytime television are gathering in person to hand out trophies at the Daytime Emmys.
Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner of “Entertainment Tonight” host the awards, which return to a full-capacity live ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The 2020 edition went virtual for the first time because of COVID-19. Last year’s show was pre-taped with a limited audience on hand.
The 49th annual awards air Friday at 9 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Presenters include Drew Barrymore, Deidre Hall, Tamron Hall and Cameron Mathison. Michael Bolton will sing his new song “Beautiful World” and perform during the In Memoriam segment.
For the first time, a soap and its spinoff are pitted against each other in the daytime drama series category. NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” goes against the Peacock streamer “Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.” Also contending are “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” both on CBS, and ABC’s “General Hospital.”
“The Young and the Restless” headed into the show with a leading 18 nominations, including six in the main acting categories. “General Hospital” has 17 nods. Those are two of four remaining soaps still airing on the broadcast networks.
Pat Sajak is competing against himself and three others in the game show host category. He’s nominated for his longtime gig on the syndicated “Wheel of Fortune” as well as for the celebrity edition that airs on ABC.
With Ellen DeGeneres having recently retired from her talk show, Kelly Clarkson is poised to take over her mantle in addition to DeGeneres’ old timeslot. The singer could nab a third straight entertainment talk show host trophy, and her syndicated show is vying for its second consecutive honor.
John Aniston, father of Jennifer, is being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his 37-year role as Victor Kiriakis on “Days of Our Lives.”
Last week’s Creative Arts and Lifestyle ceremony crowned some famous names.
Patti Scialfa, wife of Bruce Springsteen, has her own trophy to add to the family shelf. She was an executive producer on PBS’ “Shelter Me: Soul Awakened,” which won for daytime special.
John Legend, already an EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), added a Daytime Emmy as an executive producer of PBS’ “The Black Church,” which won for short form daytime program.
DeGeneres’ eponymous show won for writing team for a daytime non-fiction series, earning the comedian the final Daytime Emmy of her decorated 19-year run. | https://www.woodtv.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/daytime-emmys-return-to-live-in-person-show-yr-tops-noms/ | 2022-06-24T14:00:12Z | https://www.woodtv.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/daytime-emmys-return-to-live-in-person-show-yr-tops-noms/ | true | 37 |
He’s got a cannon for an arm, but isn’t so sure anyone needs to be armed with an AR-15.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters Tuesday that he’ll be ready when the NFL season starts in the fall and he hopes lawmakers huddle up and do their jobs, too. That, according to the 25-year-old play-caller, means coming up with a plan that to curb mass killings in the U.S.
“With everything that’s going on, if you’re not going to outlaw everything, you’ve got to at least make it harder to get all those crazy guns that everybody’s using,” Burrow said at a press conference Tuesday.
The nation’s most recent group slaughters took place in May when one 18-year-old gunman killed 10 grocery shoppers in Buffalo and another shot dead 19 children and educators in a Texas grade school. Legally purchased AR-15 style assault rifles were used in both massacres. Burrow thinks buying such firearms should be made more difficult.
“You’ve got to go through a rigorous process to be able to buy something like that, I think,” he said. “Hopefully, the people that get paid to make those decisions figure that out. My job is to play football, but hopefully the politicians can figure that out.”
Burrow was drafted by the Bengals with the top pick in 2020, but announced his arrival as a force to be reckoned with in the NFL by bringing his once lowly team to the Super Bowl in 2022. On Monday, he posted a photo from training camp that he captioned “My Spidey sense is starting to tingle a bit,” seemingly referencing the superhero Spider-Man who says that when he feels something exciting is about to happen. Former Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. responded to that Instagram picture of Burrow at practice by writing “The one.”
Beckham, whose Los Angeles Rams defeated the Bengals in February’s Super Bowl, is currently a free agent. Both super jocks played college football at Louisiana State University where each competed for a national championship. Beckham’s Tigers fell short against Georgia in 2012. Burrow was successful against those same Bulldogs in 2020.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The latest Manning quarterback, and the nation’s top recruit for next year’s class, has verbally committed to a future SEC school: Arch Manning tweeted Thursday that he plans to play at Texas.
The quarterback’s message included a photo of him dropping back for a pass while wearing a Longhorns shirt.
Manning is going into his senior season at Isidore Newman, a prep school in New Orleans where his Super Bowl MVP uncles Peyton and Eli also played. Arch Manning’s father, Cooper, is the older brother of Peyton and Eli.
Peyton Manning played his college ball at Tennessee. Eli Manning followed their father and Arch’s grandfather, Archie, in playing at Ole Miss.
Texas is currently in the Big 12, but is moving to the Southeastern Conference by the 2025 season, and maybe sooner.
The Longhorns, who were 5-7 last year, will go into coach Steve Sarkisian’s second season with Hudson Card and Quinn Ewers competing to be the starting quarterback.
Card was the starter at the beginning of last season before being replaced after only two games by Casey Thompson, who has since left for Nebraska.
Ewers is a former five-star high school recruit from the Dallas area who barely played during one season at Ohio State before coming home and joining the Longhorns for spring drills. He was the top quarterback recruit in the 2021 class, though he skipped his senior season in high school.

Ligue 1 outfit Lyon have launched an offer for Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia, who has also been linked with Manchester United and Newcastle United.
As claimed by The Mirror, Lyon have tabled an offer worth £12million to Feyenoord as the Eredivisie giants are braced for Malacia's exit. Arne Slot's side were previously approached for the 22-year-old left-back by both Manchester United and Newcastle United.
The Premier League duo were quoted in excess of £15 million for the Netherlands international. The Mirror claims that Malacia emerged as one of the top names on Erik ten Hag's wish list as soon as he became the new manager at Old Trafford.
The Dutch manager reportedly had his eyes on the 22-year-old in order to provide competition to Luke Shaw. However, as per the report, Lyon have stolen a march on the Red Devils, with the English giants putting all their energy into signing Frenkie de Jong. Lyon are currently managed by former Ajax coach Peter Bosz, who is an admirer of the 22-year-old.
A bombarding left-back who has the energy to charge up and down the left flank, Malacia is quite sound defensively as well. A youth graduate at Feyenoord, the Dutchman has already made 136 appearances for the club till date. The 22-year-old has scored four goals and provided 10 assists in the process.
How will Manchester United benefit from signing Tyrell Malacia?
Since his big move to the club from Southampton back in 2014, Luke Shaw has not entirely justified his prodigious talent at Old Trafford. The England international has struggled with both injuries as well as inconsistency over the years at Manchester United.
Shaw had a fantastic Euro 2020 campaign with England but could not carry his form at club level last season. Alex Telles was brought in from Porto to provide competition for the England international in 2020 but the Brazil international has also not been up to the mark.
Telles can be decisive while moving forward but leaves splenty to be desired defensively. It is quite clear why Erik ten Hag is keen on signing a new left-back and Malacia could prove to be the perfect signing for the Red Devils.
Malacia has been described as a 'pit-bull' in the Netherlands for his no-nonsense attitude off the pitch. He made his international debut in September 2021 in a 4-0 win against Montenegro. He has been capped five times for the senior side and will be in strong contention to be part of Louis van Gaal's Netherlands side for the World Cup.

In this week’s episode of The Baggage Reclaim Sessions, I talk about how potentially scary news about a relative’s health ended up teaching me some powerful lessons about managing anxiety and worry.

5 key topics in this episode
- Are you a best/better-case scenario or worst-case scenario kind of person? My default, the groove my brain goes to in potentially scary situations, is anticipating and doing what are essentially dress rehearsals of worse-case scenarios! Over the years, my awareness of this has helped me to pull back from anxious thoughts and to have a sense of humour about my habits. Know your default settings so that you can develop tools for self-managing and self-soothing.
- Don’t overfeed your anxiety and worry fish. Anxiety and worry will take whatever you feed them! You don’t have to jump on every anxious train of thought, nor do you have to ride a train of thought to a horror destination. You can compassionately intervene on these anxious trains of thought so that you don’t derail your wellbeing.
- How we typically respond to anxiety and fear is our protective device. It’s not about how someone else responds being right or wrong; it’s about self-awareness and compassion. It’s also being honest about our habits instead of tricking or judging ourselves. We’ve all travelled a journey to this point that influences the way we typically think, feel and behave today–our emotional baggage. This self-awareness also means that we can practice empathy with others instead of assuming everyone should feel, think and act similarly.
- Compassionately acknowledge the fears revealed by your anxiety and worry. In my case, acknowledging the fear of carrying all of the responsibility of our parent made space for compassion and meaningful conversations around expectations and roles.
- Express your anxieties to safe people so that you don’t isolate yourself and experience loneliness. You can access support but you also get some context. Connecting with others over our difficulties also lets us see where we don’t necessarily want to assume the worst.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The family of Missouri U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens has been subjected to “serious threats” in the days since he released a violent campaign video in which he declares he’s “hunting” RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only, the lawyer for his ex-wife said in court Thursday.
Attorney Helen Wade said during a court hearing in the former couple’s child custody case that Sheena Greitens has received written threats, noting her email address is a public record because she’s an employee at a public university.
“We live in a country where this kind of rhetoric has resulted in violence,” she said. “It’s in writing, `Wouldn’t it be awful if someone hunted down and killed Eric Greitens and his entire family. Golly that would be terrible.′ That’s one of them. The other one is so horrible I can’t read it aloud in court.”
The hearing was part of the case to decide whether custody of the couple’s two sons should be overseen by a court in Missouri or in Texas, where Sheena Greitens and the boys now live. In a March affidavit as part of the case, Sheena Greitens accused her ex-husband of verbal and physical abuse.
Greitens, who resigned as Missouri governor in June 2018 after an extramarital affair spawned a criminal charge in St. Louis, has repeatedly called the abuse allegations lies. He accused Sheena Greitens of collaborating with people he considers RINOs in an effort to sabotage his Senate campaign.
The 38-second campaign ad that dropped Monday shows Eric Greitens brandishing a shotgun. An armed tactical team breaks into a home and throws what appear to be flash-bang grenades. Greitens enters through the smoke and says: “Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”
Eric Greitens said the ad was meant to be humorous and not taken literally. He was not at the hearing.
“I’m disappointed Eric isn’t here today because we were hoping that we would be able to get him to make a statement clearly denouncing the use of any sort of violence against my client,” Wade said.
Eric Greitens’ attorney, Gary Stamper, said in court “it’s disingenuous to suggest” that Greitens “would want harm to befall her.” Stamper said later in a statement that the two threats provided in a document from Wade were not death threats, but he still denounced them.
In a phone interview with The Associated Press after the hearing, Sheena Greitens said she was left shaken by the video earlier this week.
“Eric and his attorney have spent the last thee months trying to tie me to what they call a RINO conspiracy involving Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell,” Sheena Greitens said. “Which is completely fabricated. It is completely untrue and Eric knows it is untrue.
“But to be tied repeatedly to RINOs for three months in a ton of Eric’s public rhetoric, and then to see a video Monday talking about hunting down RINOs and tagging and bagging them, yeah, it did make me worried for my safety and the safety of my kids.”
Sheena Greitens provided the AP with copies of 2018 email exchanges in which she accused her then-husband of abuse. She said the emails are proof that despite Eric Greitens’ claims that the allegations contained in the March affidavit came out of nowhere to sabotage his campaign, he’s known about them from the outset.
Stamper, in a statement to the AP, noted that Sheena Greitens said in 2020 that it was in the best interest of the boys to spend time with their father. He questioned why she would do so if he was abusive.
“We believe that the ex-wife’s continued and most recent efforts to drag their children into the press are not in their best interests,” Stamper said.
Eric Greitens is among 21 Republicans running for the Senate seat being vacated by incumbent Roy Blunt’s retirement. Most polling has shown Greitens at or near the top of the field, though in close competition with U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler and Attorney General Eric Schmitt.
Some GOP leaders fear that if Greitens wins the Aug. 2 primary, he could lose in November. With the Senate evenly divided, the GOP can’t afford to lose what would otherwise be a safe seat.
Greitens is a former Navy SEAL officer and Rhodes Scholar who was largely unknown in politics before he was elected governor in 2016. With abundant charisma, good looks and his military background, Greitens was seen by many as a future presidential contender. He didn’t hide his ambition, reserving the website EricGreitensForPresident.com.
His star seemed to fade as fast as it rose. In January 2018, he admitted to a 2015 extramarital affair with his St. Louis hairdresser and a month later, he was indicted on an invasion-of-privacy charge that accused of taking a compromising photo of the woman.
In short order, a Missouri House committee began investigating campaign finance issues, and Greitens faced a second felony charge in St. Louis related to campaign finances. Both charges were eventually dropped. Under the risk of the charges being refiled, and still facing possible impeachment, Greitens resigned in June 2018. Eric and Sheena Greitens divorced in 2020.
In the March affidavit, Sheena Greitens said her ex-husband demonstrated such “unstable and coercive behavior” as his political career appeared to be collapsing in 2018 that steps were taken to limit his access to firearms. She said in the interview that friends, security workers and others shared her concern and tried to keep Eric Greitens away from his gun.

US repatriates Guantanamo prisoner back to Afghanistan after court ruled he was detained unlawfully
By Kylie Atwood, CNN
The Biden administration repatriated a Guantanamo Bay prisoner to his home country of Afghanistan on Friday after a federal court ruled he was unlawfully detained, an administration official said.
The prisoner, Asadullah Haroon Gul, also known as Haroon Al Afghani, was born in Afghanistan and has been detained in the Guantanamo prison since 2007.
“DOD, supported by other parts of the US government, transferred him out of Guantanamo Bay, facilitating his repatriation to his native country, Afghanistan,” the administration official said. “He flew on a US aircraft to Doha and then we worked with the Taliban and the Qatar government to facilitate his transfer to Kabul.”
The transfer also comes as the Taliban leadership in the country has prevented girls above 6th grade form going to school, and as the country faces an economic and food crisis that is expected to kill thousands.
US diplomats who work at the US office for Afghan affairs in Doha engaged with Taliban officials on this topic — which they considered an area of mutual interest — to figure out the logistics of how to make this work, the official explained. There was not any higher level engagement with the Taliban required, the official said.
Late last year, a federal judge ruled that Gul’s detention was unlawful and the Periodic Review Board, which is a panel of officials from different US national security agencies, also cleared him for transfer. Those two decisions triggered the Biden administration to begin working on repatriating Gul.
Gul, an Afghan national who grew up largely in a refugee camp in Shamshato, Pakistan, was accused of being a member of an extremist group called Hezb-e-Islami/Gulbuddin, which was known as HIG at the time. It has since become known as Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan (HIA). HIA was deemed an “associated force” of al Qaeda by the US government.
Gul conceded that he had been a member of HIG, now known as HIA, at the time, but his defense attorneys argued that the group entered into a peace treaty with the Afghanistan government in 2016.
Gul has been detained at Guantanamo since June 2007.
“A court made the decision that we needed to move this individual somewhere and the most feasible option, the most realistic option is generally going to be repatriation and here seems like it may well prove to be repatriation,” said a source familiar with the matter.
A few factors played into the administration’s efforts to repatriate Gul to Afghanistan, even while the Taliban is currently in control of the country. One of those factors: there are no US service member still in Afghanistan after the US withdrew from the country last fall.
The Taliban also gave assurances to the US government that Gul would not emerge as a threat to the US homeland or to American allies, the US official said.
“We had conversations about how important it is that this individual does not pose threat to the US or to our allies. We received assurances back,” the official said.
The transfer of Gul to Afghanistan comes as tensions between the US and the Taliban remain high over Mark Frerichs, a veteran and contractor who was kidnapped in Kabul in late January 2020, is believed to be held by the Haqqani network, which is a close affiliate of the Taliban.
“We also have to find a way to get Mark home. We are working diligently on that. We hope there is good news in the weeks to come on getting him home at last,” the official explained.
The Periodic Review Board, which first determined that Gul should be cleared to leave, is a government entity created during the Obama administration to determine whether detainees being held at the prison were guilty or not. The Biden administration continues to rely on the board to dictate which prisoners should be sent home.
With Gul’s transfer, 36 detainees remain at the prison, with more than a dozen cleared for transfer.
“They’ll be continued efforts to do what comes after those recommendations, which is approach countries whether their countries of origin or where that’s not feasible or available or advisable other countries and seek to work out repatriation or transfer arrangements that are mutually satisfactory,” the source familiar with the matter explained.

Auckland stabbings: 'Grab your kids and run,' shouted man who chased alleged knife attacker
A man who intervened during the Auckland stabbings attack on Thursday said he doesn’t want to be thought of as a hero and hoped anyone else would do what he did.
Ian Kingon, 58, was one of four men who followed the alleged attacker from Murrays Bay to Mairangi Bay in Auckland’s North Shore.
Police said four other people were stabbed, and all went to hospital with moderate injuries.
The man was “corralled” by four members of the public, including Kingon, before one of them stopped the alleged attacker with a walking crutch.

* Auckland stabbing: How the attack unfolded in two North Shore beach suburbs
Police said the men showed “extreme bravery”.
In the final moments of the episode, Kingon put himself between the alleged attacker and a group of women with their children, who were playing at Mairangi Bay beach.
“Grab your kids and run!” he shouted at them.
“If he gets near these kids there’s going to be carnage,” Kingon recalls thinking.
“There was panic galore.
“I just did what needed to be done,” said the man who shunned the word “hero” when it was put to him.
The alleged attacker moved towards Kingon, his back now turned to the other men in pursuit. Kingon said one of those men had grabbed a walking crutch from a man nearby, and swung at the alleged attacker with the crutch.
He missed.
But a second swing connected with such force it snapped the hospital-grade walking crutch in two, Kingon said.
Within a couple of minutes police arrived. Kingon said the entire pursuit had lasted somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes.
“I feel for all the people that witnessed that... It’s absolutely terrifying when your children are under threat,” he said.
Kingon was working from home and was out for a lunchtime walk, taking his neighbour’s dog with him.
“It was such a gorgeous day.”
He said he was on Gulf View Rd, at the corner by Murrays Bay beach when a woman “came up, shouting for help”.
“She’d been stabbed on the beach and the man was still there,” he said.
Kingon and another man set off in pursuit of the alleged attacker.
“As I got there, the man was on the beach trying to stab the next woman.”
Kingon said the woman dodged the attack began running away along the beach.
Kingon and the second man followed the alleged attacker, who turned back onto Beach Rd, running past the Murrays Bay Sailing Club.
They followed along Beach Rd and up Bournemouth Terrace.
Kingon said the man would turn to look at him and the other man in pursuit, but he didn’t threaten them.
“I did say to him, ‘Do you want to stop and talk?’”
Kingon described the man’s demeanour as “unemotional” and “detached”. He didn’t speak to the two men in pursuit.
He said they didn’t try to physically overwhelm the man and instead they just followed him. The second man’s wife joined them and said she was on the phone with emergency services.
As the group progressed through Mairangi Bay, they were joined by two tradies.
The man ran down a pathway and down a flight of stairs, where Kingon said the man began to lose his legs from under him. At this point he said the only words of the entire chase: “Oh s..., oh s..., oh s....”
Kingon said the four men continued to follow the alleged attacker down Montrose Terrace, to where it runs beside Mairangi Bay beach.
Eventually, the man reached some fencing that was blocking the street during construction of a new wastewater system.
He was stuck, with three men on one side and on the other, Kingon, who had moved between the man and families enjoying a day on the beach.
“I think he was starting to feel like he didn’t have anywhere to go...” said Kingon. “There’s three there and one there. ‘Let me go towards the one.’”
The man was brought to the ground.
“And he went down and the four of us were able to get around him and say, ‘Do not get up.’” | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300621526/auckland-stabbings-grab-your-kids-and-run-shouted-man-who-chased-alleged-knife-attacker | 2022-06-24T14:25:34Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300621526/auckland-stabbings-grab-your-kids-and-run-shouted-man-who-chased-alleged-knife-attacker | false | 1 |
Newer Omicron strains, waning immunity, and breakthrough infections among vaccinated are the major reasons for the current Covid peak seen in India, including the national capital, said doctors on Friday.
According to the Union Health Ministry data update on Friday, India recorded 17,336 new Covid-19 infections and 13 new deaths in the last 24 hours. The active caseload stands at 88,284.
With 1,934 cases, infection numbers in national capital Delhi doubled in the last 24 hours. In Karnataka, 858 fresh cases and one death occurred on Thursday. Maharashtra accounted for the highest number of Covid-19 cases at 5,218, with daily cases jumping by 60 per cent compared to the previous day.
States like Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Gujarat are reporting more than 1,000 cases daily.
“The cases are rising because of Omicron and its sub-variants as there are several sub-lineages of the circulating virus. The most circulating subvariant at the moment are of BA.2, and there are a few cases of BA.4 and BA.5. Though they are just the sub-variants, they also have their sub-lineages,” Dr. Akshay Budhraja, Senior Consultant, Respiratory & Sleep Medicine, Aakash Healthcare Dwarka, told IANS.
“It is important to know that those who are vaccinated are not 100 per cent protected against the virus as our immunity begins to wane after six months… vaccinated people also have the probability of getting re-infected,” he added.
Budhraja said the mass vaccination is protecting people against developing any severe complications – the reason why most people are only suffering from upper respiratory symptoms, not lower respiratory symptoms like Covid pneumonia, and hospitalisation is also low at the moment.
However, in some states including Delhi, and Maharashtra, there has been a marginal increase in Covid-related hospitalisation.
According to Dr Ankita Baidya, Consultant – Infectious Diseases, HCMCT Manipal Hospitals, Dwarka, “a smaller number of Covid patients are coming with lung” conditions.
However, Dr Neha Gupta, Consultant, Infectious Disease, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, said patients are presenting more severe symptoms than during the earlier Omicron wave in January.
“During this wave, we have seen patients having moderate-severe Covid-19 which is a little more in severity as compared to the Omicron variant,” Gupta told IANS.
An analysis by the country’s Covid genome sequencing facility Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) reports that Omicron BA.2 sub-variant was detected in over 83 per cent of the samples sequenced in May and June, media reports said.
While the percentage of BA.1, BA.3, BA.4 and BA.5 has been found in less than 10 per cent samples, Omicron and its sub-lineages have been the dominant circulating variant in India from January 2022. In May, the proportion of Omicron sublineages BA.2.12.2, BA.1.1.529, BA.3, BA.4, BA.5 increased, the report said.
So can we say that a fourth wave of Covid has hit India?
This is not a fourth wave, said Budhraja, “but Covid spikes which may differ in timing in different parts of India. Fourth wave can only occur if there is presence of a new variant altogether, not just a different subvariant”.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry has directed officials to continue to focus on surveillance and whole genome sequencing to scan any possible mutations while stressing on adequate testing and effective monitoring to assess the spread of Covid-19 in a timely manner.
“Sequencing is a highly resource-heavy and time-consuming process. That being said, sequencing is essential to understand the direction in which the virus evolves. However, sequencing is not essential to diagnose or treat Covid 19. Hence resource allocation is better made towards vaccination, awareness and prevention and treatment,” Dr Pavithra Venkatagopalan, Director, Covid Task Force, Awareness, Rotary Club of Madras Next Gen, told IANS.
She emphasised the need for “aggressive vaccination for everyone”.

Solidarity behind Ukraine’s Russia fight atop summit agendas
WASHINGTON (AP) — Back-to-back world leader summits in Europe this weekend will focus on uniting Western nations behind Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion and overcoming Turkey’s opposition to NATO membership for Finland and Sweden.
The Group of Seven leading economic powers — the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — are set to hold their annual gathering Sunday through Tuesday in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, which holds the G-7’s rotating presidency this year.
After the G-7 concludes, leaders of the 30 countries in the NATO alliance will then gather for their annual summit, which is being held Wednesday through Thursday in Madrid.
A look at some of the key issues and themes on the table as President Joe Biden prepares to join both summits:
UKRAINE UNITY
Russia’s war in Ukraine will loom large over both summits as leaders seek to project a united front against Kremlin aggression that has devastated Ukraine and plunged Europe and much of the world into economic and other crises.
Nations represented at the back-to-back gatherings have sent billions of dollars in aid and arms to Ukraine and closed ranks in their strident condemnation of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
Ukraine got another boost Thursday when European Union leaders swiftly and unanimously approved its application to become a candidate to join the 27-nation bloc, though the process of joining will likely take years.
The United States and European Union have imposed damaging economic sanctions on Moscow and Putin’s oligarchs, but major markets including China and India continue to buy Russian oil, watering down the effects of Western sanctions.
NATO FOR FINLAND AND SWEDEN
A major unresolved issue for the NATO summit is membership for Finland and Sweden.
Russia’s war in Ukraine spooked both Nordic countries enough that they abandoned long-held neutrality policies and applied to join the military alliance. All 30 member nations must sign off on the applications. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg supports the bid, and Biden demonstrated his strong backing by hosting both countries’ leaders in the Oval Office.
But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan so far has stalled their quick admission, objecting to membership and pressing both countries to alter their stance on Kurdish rebels that Turkey considers terrorists.
All sides have been trying to find a way through the impasse, but whether Erdogan’s concerns can be addressed to his satisfaction in Madrid remained an open question. Sweden and Finland were invited and are expected to attend.
COUNTERING CHINA
Founded to contain the Soviet Union, NATO is set to declare for the first time that confronting China’s rise is also part of its mission.
In Madrid, the alliance will unveil a new “Strategic Concept,” the first update to its guiding principles since 2010, that explicitly references addressing challenges from China. The alliance also has invited Pacific leaders from Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia to the summit.
The document marks a significant milestone in efforts by the U.S., under multiple presidents, to expand the alliance’s focus to China, even in the face an increasingly bellicose Russia.
The Biden administration maintains that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has “firmed up” democracies on the threats from autocracies in both Moscow and Beijing.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin accuses NATO of trying to “start a new Cold War” and warned against the alliance “drawing ideological lines which may induce confrontation.”
CLIMATE
Leaders of the G-7 economies will consider backing a package of new climate change measures that senior officials agreed to last month. These effectively require countries to quit burning coal for electricity by 2035, transparently report on their fossil fuel subsidies and ensure electric cars dominate new auto sales by the end of the decade.
Senior G-7 officials also acknowledged for the first time the need to provide developing countries with additional financial aid to cope with the loss and damage already happening because of global warming. Wealthy nations have long resisted such a move, fearing they could be on the hook for costly compensation payments for decades of greenhouse gas emissions.
Poor countries want the G-7 to commit actual money, having seen past pledges for $100 billion in climate aid by 2020 go unfulfilled.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hopes they will also back his idea for an international “climate club” whose members would agree on minimum standards to avoid a patchwork of rules and emissions-related tariffs.
ENERGY
Russia sees Europe’s need for natural gas as a wedge issue that could weaken the alliance backing Ukraine. That means Biden must bring as much liquefied natural gas from the U.S. to Europe as possible, which requires new terminals for shipping. Natural gas prices in the U.S. futures markets are up roughly 70% so far this year.
Russia is also a major oil producer, and the war has sent global benchmark prices up about 40% so far this year, causing higher gasoline prices in the U.S. and around the world.
Biden views near $5-a-gallon gas in the U.S. as a risk for fellow Democrats heading into the midterm elections, a preview of the risks European leaders could face this winter due to natural gas costs.
Shortages of natural gas and higher prices are putting tremendous financial pressure on Germany, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Bulgaria, Finland, the Czech Republic and Denmark, among others.
Russia has cut exports of natural gas needed to generate electricity and provide heating, causing Germany, which has relied on Russia for 35% of its gas imports, to call on factories to cut power usage and shift toward coal as an energy source.
FOOD SECURITY
Summit participants will also discuss how Russia’s war is affecting global food security.
Russia is blocking about 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain from being shipped to the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia, potentially worsening hunger and food security in those regions. A global fertilizer shortage is also of concern.
In response, Western powers have pledged billions of dollars in assistance. The U.N. has been working on a deal that would enable Ukraine to export food, including via the Black Sea, and let Russia bring food and fertilizer to world markets without restrictions.
To deliver Ukraine’s food supplies to the world, Europe is also looking to increase shipments by railroads and trucks, but their efforts have made up for only a fraction of the Black Sea ports capacity.
Russia blames Western sanctions for the crisis, although the measures imposed by Europeans do not prohibit the import and transportation of Russian agricultural goods or payment for Russian imports.
GLOBAL INFLATION AND THE ECONOMY
The repercussions of higher food and energy costs appear likely to tip much of Europe into a recession, creating a troubling dynamic as Germany and other countries juggle both high inflation and the risks of a severe downturn.
G-7 leaders likely will focus on how to simultaneously encourage growth while also reducing inflation, a unique challenge as central banks raise interest rates to slow economic activity.
The value of the euro has tumbled over the past year relative to the U.S. dollar as multiple reports point to a slowdown taking hold.
Biden, meanwhile, also is fending off predictions by top economists that a U.S. recession is likely. He told The Associated Press in an interview last week that a downturn is “not inevitable.”
But avoiding a recession would require the Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rates in order to pull inflation down from a 40-year high without causing a spike in unemployment.
DOMESTIC SHADOWS
Biden will arrive at both summits in a different place politically than he was last year.
He is trailed to Europe by a U.S. public approval rating in the high 30s — the lowest of his presidency — and with consumers complaining about sticker shock at the grocery and gas pump. He also faces the prospect of his party losing control of Congress in November’s elections.
While Biden is abroad, the conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court could issue a long-awaited decision potentially overturning the court’s landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a legal right to abortions.
Some of Biden’s counterparts are in similar straits.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is weakened after surviving a recent no-confidence vote. He suffered fresh blows this week when voters rejected his Conservative Party in two special elections and the party chairman quit after the results were announced.
French President Emmanuel Macron overcame a strong challenge from a far-right rival to win reelection in April, but his centrist alliance later failed to win an absolute majority in parliamentary elections.

Hay fever and asthma sufferers may have noticed symptoms get worse in recent weeks as pollen levels across the UK rise.
The hay fever season starts at different times across the UK and the type of pollen in the air will differ according to the time of year.
There are around 30 different types of pollen that can cause hay fever and it is possible to be allergic to more than one, so the onset of symptoms may vary depending on your allergy.
When does hay fever season start?
In the UK, hay fever is usually worse between late March and September, particularly when the weather is warm, humid and windy as the pollen count is at its highest.
The type of pollen in the air differs depending on the time of year, with tree pollen occurring first from late March through to mid-May.
This is followed by grass pollen which lasts from mid-May until July, and weed pollen comes later from the end of June to September.
Grass pollen also has a second peak which tends to occur in the first two weeks of July before levels slowly decline.
Pollen levels are very much dependent on the weather conditions during spring and early summer, with lower temperatures causing less pollen to be produced. Spring rainfall is also key, as a dry season reduces the amount of pollen production.
The start of the hay fever season is also dependent on where you live, according to the Met Office.
Those who live in the north of the UK will see a later start and a shorter season as there is generally less pollen. Urban areas have a lower pollen count than in the countryside, while inland areas have higher counts than around the coast.What pollen allergy is most common?
Around 30 different types of pollen can cause hay fever and it is possible to be allergic to more than one, meaning symptoms could be worse at different times of the year.
Most people are allergic to grass pollen which is most common from late spring to early summer.
Other pollen types can also trigger symptoms, with tree pollen - released during spring - affecting around 25% of people.
Symptoms usually occur when the pollen count (the number of pollen grains in one cubic metre of air) exceeds 50 and will typically be worst in the early evening when the count is at its highest.
Around two in every 10 people suffer with pollen allergies and it is most common among those who suffer from asthma or eczema, or have a family history of allergies.
What are the symptoms?
The NHS says the most common symptoms of hay fever include:
- sneezing and coughing- a runny or blocked nose- itchy, red or watery eyes- itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears- loss of smell- pain around your temples and forehead- headache- earache- feeling tired
If you have asthma you may also have a tight feeling in your chest, be short of breath, or wheeze and cough.
Hay fever symptoms can last for weeks or months, unlike a cold which usually goes away after one to two weeks.
Are there any treatments?
There is currently no cure for hay fever and it cannot be prevented. However it is possible to relieve symptoms with some simple treatments and home remedies. These include:
- putting Vaseline under your nose to trap pollen- wearing wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes- showering and changing your clothes after being outdoors- staying indoors when possible- keeping windows and doors shut- vacuuming regularly and dusting with a damp cloth- buying a pollen filter for the air vents in your car and a vacuum cleaner with a special HEPA filter
A pharmacist may also be able to give advice on the best treatments and may recommend antihistamine tablets, drops or nasal sprays to help ease itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and a blocked nose.
You should avoid cutting or walking on grass to reduce the risk of making symptoms worse. It is also advisable to not keep fresh flowers in the house, avoid drying clothes outside and not to smoke or be around smoke. | https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/read-this/the-months-hay-fever-is-worse-depending-on-pollen-type-you-suffer-from-3744047 | 2022-06-24T14:33:26Z | https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/read-this/the-months-hay-fever-is-worse-depending-on-pollen-type-you-suffer-from-3744047 | true | 17 |

Evergreen Nephrology will partner with nephrologists to transform kidney care for patients across Delaware
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Evergreen Nephrology is announcing a joint venture with Nephrology Associates, PA, providing comprehensive kidney care services to patients in all three Delaware Counties, Cecil County Maryland and parts of Delaware County Pennsylvania. Evergreen Nephrology focuses on partnering with nephrologists in local markets to transform kidney care for patients and believes that nephrologists are best positioned to lead this charge.
"As we enter the new era of value-based care in medicine, we at Nephrology Associates could not be more excited to partner with Evergreen Nephrology. We anticipate that this alliance will allow us to take on the challenges of managing complex patients more effectively, ultimately enhancing the lives of our patients with chronic kidney disease," said William J. Dahms, Jr., DO, FASN, Partner at Nephrology Associates, PA.
"I am proud to announce today that Evergreen Nephrology is partnering with Nephrology Associates, PA. We will work hand in hand with Nephrology Associates to transform and better the lives of people living with kidney disease," said Adam Boehler, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Evergreen Nephrology. "At Evergreen, we believe that physician practices are best positioned to meaningfully transform patient care."
Since 2015 more than 12,000 people per year died waiting for a transplant or were removed from the waiting list after becoming 'too sick to transplant.' Additionally, minorities and people of color are adversely affected by kidney disease and yet are less likely to receive a kidney transplant. Evergreen Nephrology and its nephrologist partners believe that the status quo is unacceptable and are committed to providing best in class care for people suffering from kidney disease. This includes delaying disease progression, shifting kidney care to the home, and getting patients needed organ transplants.
The United States spends more than $130 billion dollars a year fighting kidney disease, often because nephrologists are not involved in patient care early enough. Evergreen partners with nephrologists to provide them resources to invest in an expanded care model, the financial backing needed to take total cost of care risk, and a technical platform built for a value-based environment. Evergreen will also partner with dialysis providers and hospitals to share risk and enable better outcomes for patients.
About Evergreen
Evergreen Nephrology was built with the mission to transform kidney care by putting nephrologists in the driver's seat. By empowering nephrologists, providing financial backing, best-in-class clinical resources, and analytical insights and tools, Evergreen strives to slow disease progression, improve clinical outcomes, and increase quality of life for people living with CKD and ESRD. In addition to providing high quality healthcare and strategic partnerships, Evergreen intends to launch a Medicare Advantage Plan in 2023.
Evergreen Nephrology's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Adam Boehler drove efforts at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center (CMMI) and the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to introduce the Kidney Care Choices (KCC) models that empower nephrologists as they care for their patients. In addition to transforming dialysis delivery, the HHS team set new standards for organ procurement to increase transplantation. Adam and fellow Co-Founder Abe Sutton were awarded the 2019 President's Medal from the American Society of Nephrology.
About Nephrology Associates, PA
Nephrology Associates, PA is a Delaware medical practice dedicated to providing high quality and comprehensive kidney care services to patients in all three Delaware Counties, Cecil County Maryland and parts of Delaware County Pennsylvania. The nephrology practice was founded over 45 years ago and includes 28 Nephrologists, 16 Advanced Practice Providers and a dedicated staff servicing patients in hospitals, one of 8 office locations, multiple dialysis centers and many other healthcare settings across our service area.

ANDERSON –The very first ritual of training camp is checking in, getting processed, moving personal items into a dormitory and starting the paces that will be your existence for the next three weeks.
Andrew Luck and 89 other players went through that process today at Anderson University, the summer home of the Colts.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened, other than this was the next step of Luck's football career. He and Colts fans hope it is as storied as his Stanford days, and the rookie signal-caller is grounded and focused.
"Yeah, you know it's nice. I try not to get too caught up in, 'Oh I'll never have this feeling again,' or whatever that may be," said Luck when asked about another "first" in his life progression. "I'm just glad to be out here and have training camp sort of getting to go."
Luck is a poised individual who has handled accomplishments calmly. While taking his next step, Luck noted that it did hit him that he actually is in an NFL camp.
"It did. I definitely had a little bit of that feeling," said Luck. "You get your dorm room, you take your clothes out, put your sheets down on the bed. It definitely hits you. … I think you get a lot of the same stuff (as when he was a college freshman) – (a) dorm room, don't know what to expect. It's great to be here.
"Obviously, (I'm) a little nervous. I think it's good to be a little nervous about things. I'm very excited to get going, anxious."
Luck and many of his teammates took a bit of an edge off camp with on-field work during the week at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. He found those sessions helpful after the team had stopped formal work in mid-June.
"It's always nice to get extra work in, especially as a quarterback coming into a new system and having missed a couple of the OTA's," said Luck. "It's nice to sort of go through the shock again of starting practice where the first day may be a little easier for the rookies now because we've been out there running and doing all that."
The Colts begin practices on Sunday. The team will conduct 26 sessions at Anderson, and the first preseason game is August 12 versus St. Louis in Lucas Oil Stadium. This is a time where practices and pressure graduate to a different level.
"I think you get a little more sense of urgency because training camp is the beginning of the season really," said Luck. "You understand there are games coming up. I think you put a little more pressure on yourself to make sure you really are in the playbook and understanding the maybe nuances of what is going on."
Camp will be a time to firm up a foundation for the team, and an identity will be forged to a greater extent. Luck is ready for the challenge.
"It'll be very important, so many new guys, new coach, new system," said Luck. "I think just to have practice reps and to be around each other all day for however many weeks it is, is going to be very beneficial."
Luck admits to liking the camp scene because of what it presents.
"I do," said Luck. "Your life turns very simple. I appreciate that during camp. You really have football to focus on and not much else. That excites me."
Among Luck's personal items now residing in the player's dormitory is a personal iPad. It rests very near another one that contains the club's playbook. Both, undoubtedly, have been in use recently.
He knows his knowledge of the playbook will be refined more by practice, and he has a goal for what would determine a successful camp.
"I think it's very cliché, 'Get better each practice.' I know that's a very boring answer, but in my mind I just have to keep getting better," said Luck. "(I'm) getting there (with the playbook), I think you never can know enough. Practice reps will definitely help. I hope I just continue to improve playbook-wise every day." | https://www.colts.com/news/luck-in-camp-7704939 | 2022-06-24T14:37:23Z | https://www.colts.com/news/luck-in-camp-7704939 | false | 1 |

Wimbledon to give free tickets to Ukrainian refugees
June 24 (Reuters) - Wimbledon will give Ukrainian refugees free tickets to the tournament's 'Middle Sunday' and donate 250,000 pounds ($307,100) to those affected by Russia's invasion of the country, the organisers of the grasscourt Grand Slam said on Friday.
Following the invasion, Wimbledon banned Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament, resulting in the men's ATP Tour and women's WTA Tour taking away its ranking points.
Russia describes its actions in Ukraine as "special military operation" while Belarus is a key staging area.
Ukrainian refugees in the boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth as well as their sponsors and charity delivery partners will be eligible for tickets, the All England Club and the Lawn Tennis Association said.
The donation of 250,000 pounds will be made to the Tennis Plays for Peace initiative and the British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal on behalf of Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.
"On the eve of The Championships I believe it's important that we acknowledge those that are suffering so greatly due to the unrelenting conflict imposed upon Ukraine," LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd said in a statement.
Wimbledon will be a 14-day tournament from this year, with matches scheduled on Middle Sunday, traditionally a day off, as organisers no longer need a whole day to get the courts back into shape due to improved technology.
Middle Sunday is also known as People's Sunday because, on some occasions in the past, tickets have been made available on general sale on that day when rain delays have resulted in some matches being postponed.
"They (Ukrainian refugees) will be joined on Middle Sunday by local residents, COVID heroes from the NHS and social care, and a variety of schools, charities and community groups," the two associations said.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama judge who belittled the governor over her age and gender and repeatedly cursed in court was removed from duty and could be ousted from office, records show.
Mobile County Circuit Judge James T. Patterson was suspended after the Judicial Inquiry Commission, which investigates complaints against judges, accused him of violating judicial ethics with a string of remarks about Republican Gov. Kay Ivey and repeated profanity in court.
A judge since 2017, Patterson is a Republican who has referred to his remarks as bad jokes.
Patterson referred to the 77-year-old Ivey as “Gov. MeMaw,” a disparaging term used by some critics, in an order complaining about her decision to make most people remain at home during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the commission alleged, and he regularly used profanity while presiding over court sessions and in written orders.
Investigators said Patterson made an inappropriate remark about everyone in court being able to speak English when he saw a potential juror who appeared to be of Asian descent.
Patterson quickly apologized to the jury pool for the remark, which he called a “stupid, stupid joke,” and subsequently denied any racism in a public post on social media.
“The liberals call everyone they disagree with a racist nowadays. I am nothing of the kind,” Patterson wrote in 2019, according to the commission's complaint. He defended his repeated use of “dead a— broke” to refer to Alabama's underfunded court system, saying he has led the fight to increase funding.
Patterson apologized to Ivey in a letter in which he said his “Gov. MeMaw” remark “was a poor attempt at humor in the midst of this Covid-19 mess,” but continued using the term in reference to Ivey in discussions with lawyers, investigators found.
Patterson hasn't submitted a response to the commission charges, which were filed last week and will be considered by the Court of the Judiciary. If convicted, Patterson could face penalties as severe as removal from office. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Alabama-judge-cited-for-remarks-against-governor-17263166.php | 2022-06-24T14:57:27Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Alabama-judge-cited-for-remarks-against-governor-17263166.php | true | 13 |

The Championship Pavilion overlooking the 18th Hole on Mout Juliet Estate
The atmosphere is electric at Mount Juliet as the last of the preparations of the Horizon Irish Open take centre stage. It’s the final groom of the Estate before the golfing gods descend upon Kilkenny. With the purse of €3,000,000 to play for, 156 world class golfers will make up the playing field.
Championship Pavilion
Mount Juliet General Manager Mark Dunne and his entire team have certainly pulled out all the stops this year. We caught up with them this week to see what lessons they learnt from last year’s Open, when they had just over a month to prepare. This year’s tournament is looking very different with lots of treats in store for spectators and golfers on the 500 acre Estate.
Mark Dunne & Siobhan Donohoe celebrating on the 18th Hole, at the end of the 2021's Tournament
When people ask Mark Dunne what it will be like this year, his response is simple: “It will just be so much fun," he said. "Last year we were test event number seven for reopening the country and we were very conscious of that. Everything we had in our plans to make it a spectacular event had to be taken away, yet it was hugely successful. From a test event perspective, it was well received, and it was nice to be part of returning to sport.”
“Last year we did it in six weeks, from start to finish. Even though the atmosphere here this year is different, we all feel a lot happier with the work all completed, this time last year was a lot more frantic!”
“This year it's not the case, from Wednesday, right through to Sunday it’s going to be so really good. It’s not the same tournament at all, everything has changed. You’ll see it from arrival at the welcome tent to all the way through, everything is different, because we have had more time.”
The Mount Juliet and European Tour team are bringing the party back to golf with a week of entertainment for the whole family. At the end of play for the Pro-Am on Wednesday, the ever popular Toploader will take to the stage to entertain the crowd, no doubt we will be Dancing in the Moonlight too!
Limerick band Hermitage Green will kick off the weekend with a performance on Saturday July 2. Taking to the main stage on Sunday July 3 is 17-year-old Cork singer‘Allie Sherlock. Both acts will take to the stage as soon as the final putt drops each evening.
Siobhan O’Sullivan, Director of Sales & Marketing
With 5,000 spectators a day permitted last year, and no hospitality allowed, what will this year’s Mount Juliet Estate look like with up to 18,000 visitors every day and what is on offer for them.
“The village is at least a third bigger in size this year, the festival atmosphere will be amazing, and we can celebrate more," said Siobhan O’Sullivan, Director of Sales & Marketing on the Estate. There will be free park and ride from Stoneyford and Thomastown and paid shuttle buses to and from Kilkenny."
“Wednesday is always a good day for the family and not just for golfers, because there are some celebrities around. The whole tournament will be a lot more relaxed with more food areas in various locations around the Estate. In the Festival Village, there are the festival beer tents and pop ups from Taste Kilkenny and Golf Ireland, with various interaction tents.”
Siobhan Donohoe & Siobhan O'Sullivan at The Manor House, 2021 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open
Throughout the week we will have an afternoon tea option at the Manor House, please book this in advance to avoid disappointment. There will also be a Nespresso and Piaff Champagne tent at the Manor House, if you want to pop down for some bubbles.”
“We’ll also have Sky Sports TV back and this year NBC Golf is joining us too, so the eyes of the world will be on us. It’s putting us back on the map for being one of the top Parkland courses in the world.”
2021's Winner Lucas Herbert with Director of Golf Matt Sandercock
“It will be a couple of years before we have the Open in the South East again, so it would be nice to have Seamus Power from the South East win at Mount Juliet. However, Lucas Herbert is coming back to retain his title - so watch this space!”

As we move toward the end of Q2, it’s time to start thinking about earnings. Looking back at the quarter, analysts are predicting earnings growth of 8%, which may rise to 11% heading into next year. It’s a rosy picture, but it’s also not a sure thing. GDP contracted in Q1, by nearly 1.5%, and some estimates are showing 0% growth in Q2. Such results would meet the technical definition of a recession – and recession is hardly the usual environment to find robust earnings growth. Looking at current

When the sun comes out the layers come off and for some that means more than just a cardigan and jumper. Naturists across the country will be looking to enjoy the sunshine on their skin and we have five locations in Kent where you can do just that.
The site walkingclub.org.uk lists dozens of nudist beaches across the whole country, some are official 'naturist' beaches, whilst some are just areas of already popular beaches. The site provides regular updates on the beaches and also give the chance for fellow nudists to share their thoughts and reviews of the locations.
Perhaps we should point out that stripping off is not compulsory on these beaches. And if you're just looking for beautiful places to visit - fully dressed - then they are still very much worth a visit.

But if you are so inclined, here are the five places you can get your kit off in Kent:
Botany Bay, Margate
The beautiful beach at Botany Bay has two areas. The main (southern) beach is the one favoured by most visitors and is popular with families. The naturist area is to the northwest or the beach and comprises of a sandy beach with a narrow strip of sand dunes.
It involves a short walk to get to this part of the beach and it tends to be fairly quiet. Most naturists tend to settle on the edge (or in) the dunes. The dunes are backed by low chalk cliffs and can be overlooked from the clifftops, and sometimes walkers do stroll along the waters edge.
Sandwich Bay, Sandwich
Sandwich Bay is situated about five miles South of Ramsgate. The naturist area of the beach is at the north end and is backed by sand dunes and a golf course. Access to the beach is via a 'Private Estate' which levies a toll for use of the roads to the beach and golf course.
The naturist area at the north end of the beach is a one-mile walk from the Bay's public car parking area. It states on walkingclub.org.uk that 'As the dunes start so the beach seems to become less 'textile' and the further north you go the more naked couples you will find.'
Long Rock Beach, Swalecliffe
This beach is situated in a small nature reserve half way between Whitstable and Herne Bay. This beach was previously designated for naturist use, however signs were replaced stating that 'Naturism Is Not Condoned On This Beach'. The signs are reported to have now been taken down.
This beach itself consists of pebbles with sand and exposed mud at low tide, and is not the most picturesque. Windbreaks are advised as there is no natural shelter and it can get quite windy. Plus points for this beach is that the tide goes out a long way and the beach is quite gently sloping, and easily accessible without having to walk long distances.
Shellness, Isle of Sheppey
Shellness is an official nudist beach and can get quite busy in the summer. The naturist section of the beach is actually known as “Shell Beach” and is located before you reach the hamlet of Shellness, which is surrounded by private land.
The beach is located near Leysdown-on-Sea at the far eastern end of the Isle of Sheppey on the north Kent coast. It is half a mile beyond (south-east) of the main beach at Leysdown.
Abbots Cliff/The Warren, Folkestone
This beach is made up of pebble and shingle beneath high chalk cliffs. Bathers are advised not to sit directly under them as cliff falls are frequent. The anti nudity by-law applying to other beaches in the 'Borough of Folkestone' may not apply at The Warren, since there is a suggestion that the land in this area belongs to the railway authority.
However the walkingclub.org.uk website does state that there has recently been a report of bathers being asked to stop by police. The beach is between Samphire Hoe Country Park and 'The Warren' Country Park at the end of Folkestone's seafront. It is possible to park and gain access from Samphire Hoe at low tide.
An alternative way to get there is a two mile trek along the sea wall from the Eastern Pleasure Beach off Wear Bay Road, Folkestone.

Business Disruption Feared by Corporate, Sustainability Leaders if Roe vs. Wade Rollback Occurs: Survey
Women+ in Climate Tech Survey Also Reveals Projected Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Budgets and Hiring
RALEIGH, N.C. and LONDON, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Women+ in Climate Tech, a global organization amplifying the voices of women+ in climate, today released the results of its survey on two issues impacting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG): projected ESG budgets and hiring given market tumult and inflation, and potential business impacts of a rollback of reproductive rights (i.e. Roe vs. Wade).
With just over 100 respondents—close to 47% of whom are sustainability officers, 24% are other corporate leaders, 23% climate founders and entrepreneurs, and 6% are investors—the survey revealed:
- Despite market tumult and inflation, companies remain bullish on ESG. 66% of respondents say ESG budgets and hiring will grow over the next 12 months.
- Reproductive health is of concern to ESG professionals, the majority of whom are women. Companies can consider this as they strive to maintain a competitive advantage in hiring and retaining ESG talent. 81% of respondents worry that a potential rollback of US reproductive rights (i.e. Roe vs. Wade) will cause business disruption of some kind, and 97% report that expanded corporate reproductive health benefits would positively influence their decision to work at a company.
"Companies can understand, from these results, that their peers do not intend to scale back their ESG ambitions, despite market uncertainty. Therefore, maintaining competitive advantage and momentum on climate means doubling down on ESG budgets and hiring," says Helen Bertelli, Co-Founder of Women+ in Climate Tech. "Given the necessity for swift action on climate, this is encouraging."
"In addition, respondents are concerned about the future of reproductive rights in the United States. After 50 years of reproductive rights embedded in the American economy and society, a potential rollback of Roe v. Wade is likely to have deleterious effects on both. States which curtail reproductive rights are likely to pay a significant economic price," says Paul Whiteley, Emeritus Professor of political economy at the University of Essex, United Kingdom, and consultant on this survey.
"At a time when female talent is in high demand, especially in fast-growing such as climate tech and sustainability and after COVID's deleterious effects on women workers, it is clear from this survey that supporting reproductive rights with actions such as expanded health benefits, may help companies in the race to recruit and retain talent," continued Whiteley.

AP cabinet approves renaming new district
- Country:
- India
A month after protests erupted over renaming a district, the Andhra Pradesh cabinet on Friday approved a proposal to rename the new Konaseema district as Dr B R Ambedkar Konaseema.
Konaseema district was carved out of the erstwhile East Godavari in April as part of the reorganisation of districts in the state.
Last month, the state government issued a draft notification for renaming the district as Dr B R Ambedkar Konaseema and invited suggestions from people.
This led to protests from certain sections in the region and culminated in arson in Amalapuram town, in which the houses of state Transport Minister Pinipe Viswarupu and ruling YSR Congress MLA P Satish were torched.
More than 250 people, including some followers of the minister and activists of YSRC, TDP, BJP and Jana Sena, were arrested in connection with the arson.
The proposal to rename the district was placed before the state cabinet, which met here on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
With the cabinet approving the proposal, a formal notification renaming the district would be issued in the next few days, official sources said.

Former Drinking Water and Sanitation Secretary Parameswaran Iyer, who spearheaded the Swachh Bharat Mission, was on Friday appointed as the CEO of Niti Aayog, according to a government order.
He will replace Amitabh Kant, who will demit office on June 30.
Iyer has been appointed for two years or until further orders, whichever is earlier, the personnel ministry order stated.
According to the order, Iyer's appointment has been made on the same terms and conditions as were applicable for Kant.
A 1981-batch IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre, Iyer is a well-known sanitation specialist, and best known for spearheading Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's flagship scheme the Swachh Bharat Mission between 2016 and 2020.
Iyer had taken voluntary retirement from the Indian Administrative Service in 2009.
He had also worked as a senior rural water sanitation specialist at the United Nations.
Outgoing Niti Aayog CEO Kant played a key role in Niti Aayog's policy making, with a focus on digital India, asset monetisation, divestment, aspirational districts programme and electric vehicles, among others.
He was appointed as the CEO of the Niti Aayog on February 17, 2016, for a fixed two-year term.
Kant was later given an extension till June 30, 2019.
His term was further extended for two years till June 2021, and then another one-year extension was given till June 30 this year. | https://www.rediff.com/business/report/the-man-who-spearheaded-swachh-bharat-mission-is-niti-ceo/20220624.htm | 2022-06-24T15:09:24Z | https://www.rediff.com/business/report/the-man-who-spearheaded-swachh-bharat-mission-is-niti-ceo/20220624.htm | true | 7 |
Tenants and landlords in B.C. who go through a dispute resolution hearing now have more recourse if they feel they have been treated unfairly.
Hearings are now being recorded, which means that there is an official record of what was said, and how people behaved during the process – including landlords, tenants and arbitrators. Housing advocates are celebrating the change, although they say work still needs to be done on fixing a process that has broken down in recent years.
Tenants and landlords have long complained about arbitration hearings, which typically last one hour and are held by phone. Until a few weeks ago, when the recordings went into effect, there was no record of the hearings – even though the decisions impact lives and livelihoods, whether it’s a tenant dealing with a nightmare landlord, or vice versa. Now, a copy of the recording can be requested from the Residential Tenancy Branch.
Dispute-resolution officers are not required to have a legal background, and parties only receive a written decision after the hearing. Recordings of the hearings had been previously prohibited and only allowed in special circumstances if advance permission had been given. If granted, the party requesting the recording had to hire a court report to attend the hearing, and then pay for transcripts for all parties.
“Tenants and landlords have been pushing for [recordings] for 20 years,” says Al Kemp, who has worked as a rental housing management consultant for 25 years. His clients include small landlords and large property managers, and he’s also executive director of the Manufactured Home Park Owners Alliance of BC.
The technology to record the thousands of hearings that are held each year was only developed in more recent years, he adds.
“But we kept pushing and technology did change … and so we’ve overcome that hurdle. Now, either party at a hearing can request a copy of the recording, and that’s what’s come into place, and so we all cheered.
“There are a few – and I want to stress, it’s a few – arbitrators who do not follow the proper process. They are supposed to listen to each party’s story in an informal environment and make a decision that’s legally binding.”
Tenants’ advocates and the Office of the Ombudsperson also supported the new move.
“It will help everybody concerned, the government, the courts, landlords, tenants, and people like myself, who serve and educate rental housing providers to know the facts,” Mr. Kemp said.
The recordings are one of 23 recommendations that came out of a 2018 provincial task force that was appointed by Premier John Horgan and chaired by MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert, whose West End constituents regularly complained about the dispute resolution process.
Renters make up half of Vancouver residents, and there are about 650,000 renters in the province. Unless someone wants to try to take their case to the Supreme Court, arbitration hearings are their only option when there is a dispute.
Mr. Chandra Herbert had heard the stories about tenants being treated rudely and spoken over by arbitrators, and decisions that seemed arbitrary, depending on the skill of the arbitrator.
“It’s an area of the Residential Tenancy Branch process I found incredibly frustrating because people can make mistakes, whether they be an arbitrator or someone who makes stuff up, whether it’s a landlord or a tenant.
“And without an ability to record what actually goes on, it can be incredibly unfair and justice cannot be served. There are a number of stories I have from constituents and people across the province that were treated unfairly. Maybe a key piece of evidence was rejected unfairly and yet they can’t prove it beyond hearsay.”
Mr. Chandra Herbert wants to see another recommendation from the task force become reality, and that’s elimination of a policy that allows age restrictions on rentals by strata corporations. Stratas provide a significant share of the secondary rental market in B.C.; however, they can also put restrictions on renting, including a no-kids ban.
“One thing that’s come to me recently and I’m trying to raise it up the pole, is a strata’s ability to ban families. Under our human rights rules and Residential Tenancy [Act] rules, you can’t discriminate based on age.
“I came across a young family looking to buy a condo, and they found condos that have rules that nobody under the age of 25 or 35 can live there. I understand it with seniors’ buildings. That seems reasonable. But if you are a young couple and you find out you are having a baby, you get evicted or you leave.
“That’s not the message we want to be sending.”
Quentin Wright is the executive director of non-profit Mole Hill Community Housing Society and he is grateful that hearings will be recorded, but he says there are other problems still to be addressed. A big problem in the past couple of years is the length it’s taking for serious cases to be heard. Mr. Wright had a problem tenant on his hands, a person who was harassing other tenants with abusive, racist language.
Because of its mandate, the society does its best to not evict its tenants. Doing drugs, for example, is not cause for eviction. But the problem tenant risked the well being of other tenants, so a line had been crossed.
“We have pretty strong policies about trying to retain tenancies, not evict people,” Mr. Wright says. “Every day we have people coming in here, suffering different forms of homelessness, super precarious housing situations.”
A growing backlog of cases at the Residential Tenancy Branch meant it took six months for his case to be heard, and to win the right to evict the tenant.
Mole Hill is a low-income housing project on city-owned land, a collection of 28 heritage houses that comprises 170 units of below-market housing for single people, families and seniors. The complex includes a daycare and a group home. They also lease out a couple of suites to people visiting from outside the city, undergoing heart surgery at St. Paul’s Hospital.
Mr. Wright attends about three or four hearings a year to settle disputes. He called the level of unpredictability “unbelievable.”
The new recordings should help maintain consistency of decisions and also help maintain standards. It’s been an unnecessarily stressful process for inexperienced tenants and small landlords who hadn’t prepared properly for a hearing.
Mr. Kemp said that the government should beef up funding for the RTB so that it can get through its bloated backlog. However, he’s not seeing enough action by government to fix the system, and amid a housing crisis.
“Prior to the pandemic, the branch had measures they had to meet, like if you applied for a hearing for unpaid rent, you were entitled to a hearing within four or six weeks. They were generally meeting those objectives. If it’s a monetary claim, it might be scheduled in three months, and that’s fine because there’s no time sensitivity.
“But what began to happen is hearings stretched out to three and four and five months. … Jump ahead from January, 2021 to today and the delay in getting hearings is as bad or worse than it’s ever been.
“There is a famous saying that ‘justice delayed is justice denied.’ That’s the major problem.”

Chinese President Xi announces additional USD 1 billion for Global Development Fund
We will also increase input to the UN Peace and Development Trust Fund he said, adding that such efforts will further support cooperation under the Global Development Initiative GDI initiated by him earlier.For the third day on Friday, Xi who hosted the 14th BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa on Wednesday and Thursday, attacked the US for sanctions against Russia in the ongoing Ukraine war and forming new alliances to contain China.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday announced an additional USD 1 billion to the USD 3 billion already committed by China to the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund as he held a high-level dialogue on global development in virtual format, a day after hosting the 14th BRICS summit. "China will allocate more resources for global development cooperation," Xi told the meeting.
"We will upgrade the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund to a Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, and add USD 1 billion to the fund on top of the USD 3 billion already committed," he said. "We will also increase input to the UN Peace and Development Trust Fund" he said, adding that such efforts will further support cooperation under the Global Development Initiative (GDI) initiated by him earlier.
For the third day on Friday, Xi who hosted the 14th BRICS, (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) on Wednesday and Thursday, attacked the US for sanctions against Russia in the ongoing Ukraine war and forming new alliances to contain China. "The protectionist policies will boomerang. Anyone attempting to form exclusive blocs will end up isolating himself; maximum sanctions serve nobody's interest, and practices of decoupling and supply disruption are neither feasible nor sustainable," he said.
He also said development is being politicised and marginalised by some countries that are forming ''small yards with high fences,'' imposing maximum sanctions, and deliberately creating division and confrontation. His criticism against US, EU sanctions was the dominant theme of his speeches at the BRICS Business Forum on Wednesday and the 14th BRICS summit on Thursday. "It is important that we pursue development in real earnest and build an open world economy, and shape a global governance system and institutional environment that are more just and equitable," he said. He called for jointly fostering global development partnership. Developed countries should fulfil their obligations, developing countries should deepen cooperation, and the South and the North should meet each other halfway, Xi said.
Recalling his experience of working as a farmer in a small village in China in the 1960s, Xi said "there I experienced first-hand the hardships in farming and saw how the local people struggled to make ends meet." "Half a century later, I revisited the village and found the villagers no longer in want of food or clothing, as evidenced by the happy smiles on their faces", he said, stressing placing development at the centre of the international agenda.
Xi called for implementing the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and building a political consensus that development is valued by all people and cooperation is jointly pursued by all countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has eroded the gains of global development over the past many years, and the implementation of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been confronted with headwinds, Xi said. Meanwhile, people around the world have even stronger aspirations for peace, development and cooperation, with the emerging markets and developing countries firming up the resolve to stay united and seek self-strengthening, he added.

The CDC says it is closely monitoring what it calls “one of the worst outbreaks of meningococcal disease among gay and bisexual men in U.S. history” in the state of Florida.
The health agency first issued a warning back in April regarding an outbreak of the disease, which it said was disproportionately spreading amongst gay men.
In a press release issued Wednesday, it said it had now counted 24 cases and 6 deaths among gay and bisexual men.

It has again called for gay and bi men to speak to a health adviser about getting the meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), which is free in Florida because of the outbreak.
“Getting vaccinated against meningococcal disease is the best way to prevent this serious illness, which can quickly become deadly,” said José R. Romero, M.D., Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
“Because of the outbreak in Florida, and the number of Pride events being held across the state in coming weeks, it’s important that gay and bisexual men who live in Florida get vaccinated, and those traveling to Florida talk to their healthcare provider about getting a MenACWY vaccine.”
If you’re likely to be traveling to Florida, speak with a health provider about being vaccinated at least two weeks before visiting the state.
The two most common types of meningococcal infections are meningitis (an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and bloodstream infection, both of which can quickly become deadly.

In a separate development, a clinic in New York City yesterday invited gay and bi men to get the Monkeypox vaccine. The call-out came after the number of cases in the US of the previously rare infection topped 156. The outbreak in the US follows a similar outbreak in Europe, which is disproportionately impacting gay and bisexual men.
In New York City, around 30 cases of monkeypox have been diagnosed, with most among gay men.
Yesterday, the New York City Health Department issued a statement saying, “Vaccination is available for people who may have been recently exposed to monkeypox. Eligible people can get the two-dose vaccine at the Chelsea Sexual Health Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Appointments are recommended.”
As news spread quickly online and via word-of-mouth, all the appointment slots were booked up. More than 100 were reportedly queuing for up to a couple of hours for walk-in slots.
🚨BREAKING: If you are 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ in NYC and had multiple sex partners over the last 14 days you can get vaccinated for monkeypox today at the Chelsea Clinic (303 9th Ave.)Vaccines are availble 11 am to 7 pm Monday, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, & Sundays.

With no advanced notice or outreach NYC announced in the middle of the day that they’d vaccinate men who have sex with men against monkeypox.

— Liam Stack (@liamstack) June 23, 2022
In response to the surge in demand, the NY Health Department later said, “All vaccination appointment slots have been filled through Monday, June 27. Unfortunately, walk-in vaccinations will also not be available at this time. We are requesting additional supply from the CDC to meet the high demand. Check back on Sunday for appointments for the following week.” | https://www.queerty.com/6-gay-bi-men-die-meningococcal-disease-cdc-urges-vaccination-20220624 | 2022-06-24T15:10:12Z | https://www.queerty.com/6-gay-bi-men-die-meningococcal-disease-cdc-urges-vaccination-20220624 | false | 1 |
The stunning canvas took Ryan over 200 hours to complete
Ryan Coyle, an art teacher at Saint Patrick’s and Saint Brigid’s College in Claudy, was asked to paint a piece for the Bloody Sunday exhibition at the Free Derry museum.
The canvas masterpiece entitled 'Crosses' is one metre wide and one and half metres high and focuses on Bloody Sunday; the march, the victims, the families and the ongoing campaign for truth and for justice.
Ryan, who moved to Strabane from Derry with his parents when he was three weeks old, said he was honoured to have been asked to create this piece.
Ryan said he felt immense pressure painting such a significant part of history
"This is my biggest piece to date both in scale and as a project as a whole. It was an absolute dream to be involved with this project. Irish culture and Irish history is so important to me.
"A few months back I was delighted to be selected to exhibit as part of the ‘Bloody Sunday to Brexit’ exhibition along with seven other artists.
"After a few busy months and many late nights, my painting was finally complete and is still on display at the Museum of Free Derry.
"In this piece I was asked to incorporate the march and the present day. I tried to make links between the march itself and everything the families have been through in their subsequent campaign for the truth.
"Each of the victims or the families are represented and I have also tried to represent those injured on the day. I felt an immense pressure being asked to paint something so important and focused on such a morbid part of history.
"I felt not only the time pressure to get it completed on time, but for the approval of the families. So far, the families have responded to it well, that is what means the most; I really wanted to capture their loved ones and their journey since in their fight for justice."
Ryan usually spends up to 30 hours on one portrait. This canvas includes over 18 close up portraits and Ryan spent over 200 hours to create the piece with many intricate profiles and detailing, "I love working in black and white and I love painting portraits but I was only given a theme; it wasn't a specific commission that I'm used to where I paint someone's parents or a celebrity.
"To have that artistic license and that creative freedom was amazing, and for such a significant piece, really was an honour."
Ryan creates many stunning pieces, receiving commissions from near and far, including a request to paint the late John Hume for a customer in Spain.
Ryan's commissioned piece of the late John Hume
Ryan said that was a special moment for him, “I was over the moon to have been asked to work on this specific piece.
“It's the second time I've painted him. I came across this image a while back and I was eager to paint it as soon as I saw it.
“I was delighted when my client chose this as the image she wanted. John Hume was a true great. What he did for the people of Derry is immeasurable and he is loved across our community.
“I recently passed a few prints of this piece to some of the Hume family. It is very rewarding to know that they have got my paintings of him in their homes and that makes it all very worthwhile to me.”

I Marvel at its Blooms!
My first introduction to this beautiful flower was during a typical visit to the nearest supermarket. They had a lovely display of these bright red waxy bulbs that promised to yield beautiful blooms. I quickly purchased one for my wife and mother. The significant sell feature was the following:
- These self-sustaining bulbs needed no water.
- No direct sunlight
- Anything they required was packaged within the red waxy bulb.
- They would yield multiple beautiful flowers.
Even a fool like me could grow this flower, and grow they did. For this reason, I continued to look for these beauties over the last couple of years. This year was different. My wife jumped up a level and bought me a pre-started bulb in a box.
The box had a bulb, a growing medium, and a small pot. The enclosed directions stated the following: Take the bulb and plant it into the growing medium within the pot. Protecting 1/3 of the bulb and keeping the medium (soil) moist but not saturated for optimal growth.
This is what it yielded and is continuing to deliver in just a few weeks. Say hello to the Apple Blossom Amaryllis, an actual dummy-proof flower.
I aim to kick it up a notch and see if I can get this bulb to continue to bloom over the next year, understanding it needs a dormant phase. I may be getting overconfident. I want to give a special shout-out to these two works I came across in a search after writing this. They are a bit more eloquent than mine.

(KTLA) — The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a commercial airline pilot reported seeing a jet pack near the Los Angeles International Airport.
The sighting happened around 2:45 p.m. Thursday, about 15 miles east of the airport.
It’s not the first time the FAA has been alerted about possible jet pack sightings near LAX. Several sightings have been reported since October 2020, and there have been continued reported sightings every few months.
The FAA has worked with the FBI to investigate each jet pack sighting, and so far none — including Thursday’s reported sighting — have been verified. In fact, back in November 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department released video of some strange-looking balloons that they theorized could be responsible for the jet pack reports.
The video, captured sometime in November 2020, shows a skeleton-like balloon, possibly an inflatable Jack Skellington character from the “Nightmare Before Christmas” film.
It remains unclear at this time what the reported jet pack sightings actually are, but some experts have said it’s unlikely to be a person due to the high altitude of the sightings. Another theory that has been floated, other than balloons, is that it’s a high-powered drone with a mannequin attached. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/pilot-reports-seeing-jet-pack-near-lax-again/ | 2022-06-24T15:22:14Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/pilot-reports-seeing-jet-pack-near-lax-again/ | true | 25 |

BERLIN (AP) — The head of the United Nations warned Friday that the world faces “catastrophe” because of the growing shortage of food around the globe.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the war in Ukraine has added to the disruptions caused by climate change, the coronavirus pandemic and inequality to produce an “unprecedented global hunger crisis” already affecting hundreds of millions of people.
“There is a real risk that multiple famines will be declared in 2022,” he said in a video message to officials from dozens of rich and developing countries gathered in Berlin. “And 2023 could be even worse.”
Guterres noted that harvests across Asia, Africa and the Americas will take a hit as farmers around the world struggle to cope with rising fertilizer and energy prices.
“This year’s food access issues could become next year’s global food shortage,” he said. “No country will be immune to the social and economic repercussions of such a catastrophe.”
Guterres said U.N. negotiators were working on a deal that would enable Ukraine to export food, including via the Black Sea, and let Russia bring food and fertilizer to world markets without restrictions.
He also called for debt relief for poor countries to help keep their economies afloat and for the private sector to help stabilize global food markets.
The Berlin meeting's host, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, said Moscow's claim that Western sanctions imposed over Russia's invasion of Ukraine were to blame for food shortages was “completely untenable."
Russia exported as much wheat in May and June this year as in the same months of 2021, Baerbock said.
She echoed Guterres' comments that several factors underlie the growing hunger crisis around the world.
“But it was Russia's war of attack against Ukraine that turned a wave into a tsunami,” Baerbock said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted that Russia has no excuse for holding back vital goods from world markets.
“The sanctions that we’ve imposed on Russia collectively and with many other countries exempt food, exempt food products, exempt fertilizers, exempt insurers, exempt shippers,” he said.

By- The Police have arrested five (5) more CCC Five supporters for attending the opposition’s activist Moreblessing Ali.
This takes to 10, including Members of Parliament, Job Sikhala (Zengeza West) and Godfrey Sithole (Chitungwiza North), the number of CCC supporters arrested.
The Harare Magistrate Court denied bail to the CCC MPs and three supporters of the opposition party, Misheck Guzha, Adious Makoma and Precious Jeche.
Sikhala and Sithole, who have been appearing in court in leg irons, were remanded in custody to 6 July.
Magistrate Gibson Mandaza said Sikhala and Sithole are “a threat to public security” and likely to re-offend if released on bail. Mandaza ruled that Sikhala had already disregarded a High Court order that barred him from using Social Media.
The ruling on the trio’s bail application will be delivered Thursady at 3 PM.

Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade; states can ban abortion
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday’s outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.
The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.
The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step.
It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.
WARNING: Video may contain graphic content.
Alito, in the final opinion issued Friday, wrote that Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to abortion, were wrong the day they were decided and must be overturned.
“We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives,” Alito wrote.
Authority to regulate abortion rests with the political branches, not the courts, Alito wrote.
Joining Alito were Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The latter three justices are Trump appointees. Thomas first voted to overrule Roe 30 years ago.
Chief Justice John Roberts would have stopped short of ending the abortion right, noting that he would have upheld the Mississippi law at the heart of the case, a ban on abortion after 15 weeks, and said no more.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — the diminished liberal wing of the court — were in dissent.
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,” they wrote.
The ruling is expected to disproportionately affect minority women who already face limited access to health care, according to statistics analyzed by The Associated Press.
Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, which is at the center of the case, continued to see patients Friday. Outside, men used a bullhorn to tell people inside the clinic that they would burn in hell. Clinic escorts wearing colorful vests used large stereo speakers to blast Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” at the protesters.
Mississippi is one of 13 states, mainly in the South and Midwest, that already have laws on the books that ban abortion in the event Roe is overturned. Another half-dozen states have near-total bans or prohibitions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
In roughly a half-dozen other states, the fight will be over dormant abortion bans that were enacted before Roe was decided in 1973 or new proposals to sharply limit when abortions can be performed, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.
More than 90% of abortions take place in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, and more than half are now done with pills, not surgery, according to data compiled by Guttmacher.
The decision came against a backdrop of public opinion surveys that find a majority of Americans oppose overturning Roe and handing the question of whether to permit abortion entirely to the states. Polls conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and others also have consistently shown about 1 in 10 Americans want abortion to be illegal in all cases. A majority are in favor of abortion being legal in all or most circumstances, but polls indicate many also support restrictions especially later in pregnancy.
The Biden administration and other defenders of abortion rights have warned that a decision overturning Roe also would threaten other high court decisions in favor of gay rights and even potentially, contraception.
The liberal justices made the same point in their joint dissent: The majority “eliminates a 50-year-old constitutional right that safeguards women’s freedom and equal station. It breaches a core rule-of-law principle, designed to promote constancy in the law. In doing all of that, it places in jeopardy other rights, from contraception to same-sex intimacy and marriage. And finally, it undermines the Court’s legitimacy.”
And Justice Clarence Thomas, the member of the court most open to jettisoning prior decisions, wrote a separate opinion in which he explicitly called on his colleagues to put the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage, gay sex and even contraception cases on the table.
But Alito contended that his analysis addresses abortion only. “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” he wrote.
Whatever the intentions of the person who leaked Alito’s draft opinion, the conservatives held firm in overturning Roe and Casey.
In his opinion, Alito dismissed the arguments in favor of retaining the two decisions, including that multiple generations of American women have partly relied on the right to abortion to gain economic and political power.
Changing the makeup of the court has been central to the anti-abortion side’s strategy, as the dissenters archly noted. “The Court reverses course today for one reason and one reason only: because the composition of this Court has changed,” the liberal justices wrote.
Mississippi and its allies made increasingly aggressive arguments as the case developed, and two high-court defenders of abortion rights retired or died. The state initially argued that its law could be upheld without overruling the court’s abortion precedents.
Then-Gov. Phil Bryant signed the 15-week measure into law in March 2018, when Justices Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were still members of a five-justice majority that was mainly protective of abortion rights.
By early summer, Kennedy had retired and was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh a few months later. The Mississippi law was blocked in lower federal courts.
But the state always was headed to the nation’s highest court. It did not even ask for a hearing before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ultimately held the law invalid in December 2019.
By early September 2020, the Supreme Court was ready to consider the state’s appeal.
The court scheduled the case for consideration at the justices’ private conference on Sept. 29. But in the intervening weeks, Ginsburg died and Barrett was quickly nominated and confirmed without a single Democratic vote.
The stage now was set, although it took the court another half year to agree to hear the case.
By the time Mississippi filed its main written argument with the court in the summer, the thrust of its argument had changed and it was now calling for the wholesale overruling of Roe and Casey.
The first sign that the court might be receptive to wiping away the constitutional right to abortion came in late summer, when the justices divided 5-4 in allowing Texas to enforce a ban on the procedure at roughly six weeks, before some women even know they are pregnant. That dispute turned on the unique structure of the law, including its enforcement by private citizens rather than by state officials, and how it can be challenged in court.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in a searing dissent for the three liberal justices that their conservative colleagues refused to block “a flagrantly unconstitutional law” that “flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents.” Roberts was also among the dissenters.
Then in December, after hearing additional arguments over whether to block the Texas law known as S.B. 8, the court again declined to do so, also by a 5-4 vote. “The clear purpose and actual effect of S. B. 8 has been to nullify this Court’s rulings,” Roberts wrote, in a partial dissent.
In their Senate hearings, Trump’s three high-court picks carefully skirted questions about how they would vote in any cases, including about abortion.
But even as Democrats and abortion rights supporters predicted Kavanaugh and Gorsuch would vote to upend abortion rights if confirmed, the two left at least one Republican senator with a different impression. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine predicted Gorsuch and Kavanaugh wouldn’t support overturning the abortion cases, based on private conversations she had with them when they were nominees to the Supreme Court.
Barrett was perhaps the most vocal opponent of abortion in her time as a law professor, before becoming a federal judge in 2017. She was a member of anti-abortion groups at Notre Dame University, where she taught law, and she signed a newspaper ad opposing “abortion on demand” and defending “the right to life from fertilization to natural death.” She promised to set aside her personal views when judging cases.
Trump, meanwhile, had predicted as a candidate that whoever he named to the court would “automatically” vote to overrule Roe.

SHANGHAI, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group Co., Ltd.'s (Shanghai Electric) first EW8.X-230 wind turbine generator rolled off the production line at the Putian manufacturing facility on June 10, representing a new milestone in China's offshore wind power parity market.
Based on the Poseidon platform, the EW8.X-230 is a generator designed for the medium-low wind speeds normally experienced just above the sea surface off the Chinese shoreline, as well as the different stresses placed on the equipment dependent on wind direction.
Despite the average low wind speeds, the generator provides a cost-effective solution for the utilization of wind as an energy resource to drive the development of wind farms and allow China to meet the targets of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as we enter the era of offshore parity.
Incorporating Shanghai Electric's 10 years of experience with offshore platforms, the Poseidon platform is known for its advanced blade design, reliable paddle and yaw system, efficient and low energy consumption cooling system, as well as optimal electrical system. The company's proven production, transportation and maintenance solutions also provide a solid foundation for the reliability of the platform. With the highly integrated new-generation semi-direct drive chain technology from Shanghai Electric, the platform delivers a significant reduction in kilowatt-hour costs across the whole life cycle of wind farms.
The system uses 100-meter carbon fiber blades, leverages intelligent Sensor Roller technology and manages the digital design, production and O&M across the whole life cycle. With the company's latest LeapX control system, the EW8.X-230 reduces the operating load of the whole system while establishing an intelligent interconnection with Shanghai Electric's Fengyun system to continuously improve utilization rate and customer yield.
Based on an average annual wind speed of 7.5 meters per second, the system can generate 28 million kWh annually, meeting the annual electricity demand of 14,500 households while reducing coal consumption by nearly 10,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 24,000 tons.

Sydney’s inner-city set for sparkling rooftop pool in $200m project
Sydney’s inner-city is set to get a rooftop infinity pool to rival any beach setting when TFE Hotels opens its first Collection brand boutique-style property within the TOGA group’s $200 million mixed-used project.
Set in Surry Hills, TFE’s 102-room hotel will offer a rooftop pool with sweeping city views in the heart of the popular dining and shopping precinct in early 2024. The hotel will be the fifth under the Collection banner, which includes Brisbane’s Calile Hotel and New Zealand’s first five-green-star hotel, The Hotel Britomart.
TFE is the hotel arm of the TOGA group and will be part of the mixed-use development, which covers 1.2 hectares and includes 122 apartments and up to 12,000 square metres of retail and commercial space. TOGA will also incorporate a 517-square-metre public pedestrian thoroughfare linking Marriott Street and Baptist Street.
It is currently under construction, and the developer and hotel have worked closely with the local community to ensure the project incorporates the eclectic nature of the inner-city precinct.
Located near Sydney’s new tech hub and the home of the Atlassian tower and new Central Park developments, the inner-city areas are undergoing a development surge. TOGA has combined a number of properties to create the project, which also includes reusing the former Bank of NSW building on Cleveland Street.
TFE Hotels chief executive, Antony Ritch said that as with all Collection hotels, guests can expect a distinct design-led hotel with “bespoke service and attention to the individual”.
“The addition of curved brickwork, stone pathways, and the cloister – an activated restaurant and bar space within the hotel – rounds out the guest experience,” Ritch said.
“Surry Hills is home to one of the city’s premier restaurant, dining, and boutique precincts. This Collection property will become a destination in its own right.”
Ritch added that with many people opting for staycations, domestic tourists are exploring their own cities and looking for hotels that offer an experience rather than just a bed.
“Sydney is made up of micro cities and micro environments. And each one of them is so different that you can have vacations just around Sydney, and Surry Hills is one of those incredibly vibrant areas that has cafes, a dining precinct, and an eclectic cultural scene,” he said.
TOGA managing director and chairman of TFE Hotels Allan Vidor said the Surry Hills Village development brought together the best of Surry Hills and Redfern into one “stylish destination”.
“This will be a curated precinct of sophisticated retail, a new bespoke hotel, stylish residences, a progressive workspace and contemporary event spaces,” Vidor said.
“Important to our vision is the legacy we create and leave for the communities in which we develop, and we see that Surry Hills Village will be a place that people can live, work, stay and visit for many years to come.”
Fink Group, owner and operator of some of Sydney’s leading restaurants, including Quay, Bennelong, Firedoor and Otto, will sit at the centre of the dining destination.
TOGA development and construction chief executive Fabrizio Perilli said the project is a city within a city.
“We are quite excited with where we’re at, and what’s ahead of us,” Perilli said.
“It’s a unique parcel of land that is not going to come around again. There is only one opportunity to purchase an apartment in the precinct and where we’re attracting many owner-occupiers.”

The Senate voted Thursday to rubber-stamp the government’s extreme intoxication bill after the House of Commons rushed its passage yesterday.
Senators had adopted a motion Thursday afternoon to see Bill C-28 through all stages by the end of day.
As with the House’s similarly expedited process, the Senate motion provides for its legal and constitutional affairs committee to study and report on the issue by a deadline in March 2023.
The bill’s passage and its pending royal assent means that the Criminal Code will be amended to create criminal liability in cases of violent crime where the defendant can prove they were “in a state of negligent self-induced extreme intoxication.”
It is a response to a Supreme Court ruling in May that struck down similar language as unconstitutional.
Justice Minister David Lametti and Marci Ien, minister of women and gender equality, issued a statement after the bill’s passage, saying they were very pleased.
“The Criminal Code will now ensure that individuals who consume drugs and/or alcohol in a criminally negligent manner are held criminally responsible if they harm others while extremely intoxicated,” the statement read. “The coming into force of this legislation is an important step toward ensuring that our criminal justice system supports victims and survivors of crime — women, children, and Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons. It sends a strong message that will hold offenders to account and keep communities safe.”
The two said the Criminal Code “now clearly states that any person who voluntarily consumes intoxicants in a criminally negligent manner, becomes extremely intoxicated and harms others will be held criminally responsible for such acts.”
Lametti had called for its speedy passage so the gap in the law could be addressed before Parliament rose for a summer break.

- Jennifer Meyer made a rare comment about her split from estranged husband Tobey Maguire, who she separated from back in 2016
- During an interview on World’s First Podcast, she described their breakup as 'the most beautiful experience'
- 'I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death and we have the most beautiful family,' she gushed
- Meyer, who is best friends with Gwyneth Paltrow Jennifer Aniston, filed for divorce in 2020, four years after announcing their separation
- The former couple, who began dating in 2003, share 15-year-old daughter Ruby and son Otis, 13
Los Angeles jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer made a rare comment about her split from Tobey Maguire during an interview on World’s First Podcast.
While speaking to her close pals Erin and Sara Foster, the mom-of-two, 45, gushed about her very amicable split from the Spider-Man actor, 46, back in 2016 following nine years of marriage and two children.
'I was able to make a conscious decision about how this breakup was going to go and trust that the universe had my back, had our back as a couple for our children, for all of these things, and really, it’s been the most beautiful experience of my life having this beautiful breakup,' she reflected.

The daughter of former movie mogul Ron Meyer added: 'I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death and we have the most beautiful family.'
Meyer, who calls Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox some of her best friends, officially filed for divorce in 2020, four years after announcing they called it quits.
The former couple, who began dating in 2003, share 15-year-old daughter Ruby and son Otis, 13.

Happy family: The former couple, who began dating in 2003, share 15-year-old daughter Ruby and son Otis, 13 (pictured in 2016)
At the time they released a statement to People that read: 'After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple.
'As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.'
Even after all this time, their divorce has yet to be completed.
Tobey - who broke up with model Tatiana Dieteman after more than three years together back in February - has talked about wanting 'security and comfort' in his life following a rocky childhood.
All over now: Tobey recently broke up with model Tatiana Dieteman after four years of dating in February; the former couple is seen in 2019
His parents were teenagers when he was born and split when he was only three; he had a tumultuous upbringing as a result. His family were 'very poor' and at one point spent time in a shelter.
He explained at the time: 'Growing up the way I did, I had a very serious ambition to make some money, to have some security and comfort in my life.'
He had a drug and alcohol problem during his teenage years, but told the Guardian in 2013: 'I stopped consuming any mind-altering substances when I was 19 years old. And I've been abstinent since then.'
When asked if he drinks alcohol, he replied: 'Not at all. And I'm a vegan.'
Friendlier than ever: Tobey is best known for his film Spider-Man, which was the biggest movie of 2003, grossing over $400 million; seen in 2016
In 2007, Maguire told David Letterman he loved his new life as husband and father.
'It's a very dramatic change,' said the former child model and actor. My whole life is in transition now with friendships and where I'm gonna live, you know, just your whole perspective. It's great.'

SHANGHAI, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group Co., Ltd.'s (Shanghai Electric) first EW8.X-230 wind turbine generator rolled off the production line at the Putian manufacturing facility on June 10, representing a new milestone in China's offshore wind power parity market.
Based on the Poseidon platform, the EW8.X-230 is a generator designed for the medium-low wind speeds normally experienced just above the sea surface off the Chinese shoreline, as well as the different stresses placed on the equipment dependent on wind direction.
Despite the average low wind speeds, the generator provides a cost-effective solution for the utilization of wind as an energy resource to drive the development of wind farms and allow China to meet the targets of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as we enter the era of offshore parity.
Incorporating Shanghai Electric's 10 years of experience with offshore platforms, the Poseidon platform is known for its advanced blade design, reliable paddle and yaw system, efficient and low energy consumption cooling system, as well as optimal electrical system. The company's proven production, transportation and maintenance solutions also provide a solid foundation for the reliability of the platform. With the highly integrated new-generation semi-direct drive chain technology from Shanghai Electric, the platform delivers a significant reduction in kilowatt-hour costs across the whole life cycle of wind farms.
The system uses 100-meter carbon fiber blades, leverages intelligent Sensor Roller technology and manages the digital design, production and O&M across the whole life cycle. With the company's latest LeapX control system, the EW8.X-230 reduces the operating load of the whole system while establishing an intelligent interconnection with Shanghai Electric's Fengyun system to continuously improve utilization rate and customer yield.
Based on an average annual wind speed of 7.5 meters per second, the system can generate 28 million kWh annually, meeting the annual electricity demand of 14,500 households while reducing coal consumption by nearly 10,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 24,000 tons.
About Shanghai Electric
Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727) is a large integrated equipment manufacturing group specialized in energy equipment, industrial equipment and integration services. It is committed to providing customers with solutions to technology integration and systems incorporating green, eco‐friendliness, intelligence and Internet.

Kolkata, June 24 (PTI) JM Financial Mutual Fund, amid volatility and negative sentiments due to economic headwinds in the capital market, remained optimistic to launch 4-5 New Fund Offers (NFOs) and expanding assets under management between Rs 7,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore by FY23, a top official said on Friday.
It now stands at Rs 3,000 crore.

The mutual fund house said it does not foresee any major dip in Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) inflows going forward which had witnessed a steady growth to around Rs 11,000 crore per month. This category of investors look at long-term returns and is aware of such short-term blips, the official said.
"We have at least 4-5 NFOs lined up in equity, debt and balanced funds by FY23. We had been delaying the launch due to stretched valuations and given the corrections taking place in the market. Over the next 2-3 months, we hope to launch three NFOs as we expect the market to offer value hunting in the next two quarters. We also hope Sebi will allow NFOs from July onwards," JM Financial MF MD & CEO Amitabh Mohanty said on the sidelines of the inauguration of its Kolkata branch.

Sebi has stopped the launch of any new NFOs until the industry adopts new norms which are extended till July 1, 2022 for compliance.
"We are rebuilding ourselves from a low base. Our AMC is now Rs 3,000 crore but by this fiscal on the back of the new fund launches we expect AUM to grow to Rs 7,000-10,000 crore depending upon the market conditions," Mohanty said.
As a part of its next phase of expansion, the mutual fund will improve both physical branches and digital footprint to tap the national footprint.
"We have now 13 physical branches but will increase it to 20 in the next two years. But, our major focus will be on digital onboarding systems for both investors and distributors," JM Financial MF Chief Business Officer Seemant Shukla said.
JM Financial AMC has strengthened its fund managers and relationship team at the corporate office and branches across the country to further grow its market penetration, partner engagement and client servicing, he said.

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young has spent most of the offseason in Colorado rehabbing his knee injury. Young, who tore his ACL in November, was back in Ashburn this spring for OTAs and minicamp. While Young didn’t participate in the on-field workouts, he spent time with the coaches and also spoke to the media regarding his progress.
Young noted his outstanding progress but wisely did not promise a return date.
While in Colorado, Young has worked extensively with his trainer, Chris Knott. Young is following Dr. James Andrews’s rehab plan and spent time with Washington’s new head trainer Al Bellamy this spring.
However, Young is not just training with Knott in Colorado. Washington’s star defensive end is also working out with future Hall-of-Fame pass-rusher Von Miller.
Miller posted a picture on his Instagram with Young, courtesy of Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.
And in actual football news … @youngchase907 was training with @VonMiller in Colorado.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) June 23, 2022
Miller had a legendary run with the Denver Broncos before he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams last season. Miller won his second Super Bowl with the Rams and signed a free-agent deal with the Buffalo Bills in March. In 150 career games, Miller has 115.5 sacks.
The Commanders hope Young follows a similar career trajectory. | https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/24/washington-commanders-de-chase-young-working-out-with-von-miller-bills-rams-broncos/ | 2022-06-24T15:45:06Z | https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/24/washington-commanders-de-chase-young-working-out-with-von-miller-bills-rams-broncos/ | false | 1 |

(NewsNation) — Contrary to what researchers originally thought, sharks actually spend a considerable amount of time in urban areas, according to a new study.
Marine ecologist Neil Hammerschlag, a professor at the University of Miami who led the study, said large land predators tend to avoid big cities, only coming out where and when there are fewer humans. Those who worked on the study expected sharks in the ocean to do the same.
But they didn’t find anything to suggest that sharks are avoiding the sights, sounds and general bustle of the city. Instead, they found, sharks are “urban adapters,” meaning they do go around cities, though still largely relying on natural areas.
A news release from the University of Miami said the study speculates sharks could be attracted to shore because of land-based activities such as the discarding of fish carcasses.
This shouldn’t be a cause for alarm for beachgoers, though, Hammerschlag said on NewsNation’s “Morning in America.”
Although sharks may go to urban areas, they still tend to avoid people. The United States only saw 47 unprovoked shark bite incidents in 2021, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History’s International Shark Attack File. Of those, one was fatal. Worldwide, there were a total of 137 alleged shark-human interactions, but only 11 fatalities.
“The fact that there are so few bites and shark bites are so rare just points to the fact that humans are not on the menu,” Hammerschlag said. “Sharks really don’t represent a real danger to humans. And I think that the take-home message is to just be aware of your surroundings and just be conscious and try to be good neighbors with the sharks.”
One place in Florida has a particularly high number of shark sightings: Volusia County. According to researchers, 36% of all shark bites nationwide have happened there, and at Volusia County beaches, people are 10 times more likely to be bitten by a shark than anywhere else in the U.S.
Recently, Pacific Grove, California, saw its first shark attack since 1952. A man was rushed to the hospital Wednesday with shark bites on his stomach, arm and leg. He’s expected to survive, thanks to a couple celebrating their anniversary who heard trouble in the water.
Nurse Amy Johns and her husband, Paul Bandy, an off-duty police officer, both saw the man struggling after being attacked. Surveillance video shows Bandy swimming out and grabbing hold of the bloodied man. Once on shore, Johns applied a tourniquet and helped until emergency services arrived. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/trending/sharks-closer-to-city-than-some-may-think-study-finds/ | 2022-06-24T15:47:28Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/trending/sharks-closer-to-city-than-some-may-think-study-finds/ | false | 17 |
What the end of Roe v. Wade means for Washington state
Friday's highly anticipated Supreme Court opinion means the end of Roe v. Wade — but in Washington state, it doesn't mean the end of legal abortion.
State of play: Three decades ago, Washington voters took it upon themselves to enact a state law protecting abortion rights.
- The measure they approved, Initiative 120, insulates the state from most potential impacts of Roe being overturned.
- That 30-year-old law guarantees a person's right to end a pregnancy at any time before a fetus can survive outside the womb (generally considered 24 weeks into pregnancy), or even later to protect the health of the birth parent.
Separately, a new Washington state law approved earlier this year bans lawsuits against people seeking abortions and those who aid the procedure — a response to anti-abortion laws recently passed in conservative states.
Yes, but: Now that Roe is overturned, state officials and abortion advocates in Washington state expect to see an influx of new patients from states like Idaho, which has a trigger law that will criminalize abortion now that the Supreme Court has ruled.
What's next: Gov. Jay Inslee told Axios last week that he wants to go even further by passing a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights in Washington state.
- Such an amendment would be more difficult to overturn than the current law, he said, and would provide even more assurance that abortion will stay legal in Washington.
- But a constitutional amendment is a political long shot: it would require a two-thirds vote within the state Legislature to get on the ballot. And Democrats' majorities in the Legislature aren't quite that strong.
The big picture: Instead, lawmakers are more likely to focus on stopping religious hospital mergers that could restrict abortion access.
- Legislators also told Axios they are looking at ways to protect Washington doctors — as well as incoming patients — from the reach of other states' laws that seek to punish people who participate in abortions.

Editor's note: This story includes descriptions of violence.
NOVYI BYKIV, Ukraine — She is fair, and she is stubborn. Those are the words Viktoria Andrusha's mother and sister use to describe her. Russian soldiers took the 25-year-old Ukrainian teacher away in late March.
Andrusha and her three older sisters grew up in the village of Novyi Bykiv, about 60 miles east of Kyiv. After graduating college, she taught middle school math in Brovary, a suburb closer to the capital.
Bombs started falling in Brovary almost as soon as the war began. So she went to stay with her parents back in Novyi Bykiv, thinking it would be safer. But no.
On Feb. 27, Russian soldiers invaded the village. They came to Andrusha's home a month later. Based on some pictures and messages they found on her phone, they accused Andrusha of informing the Ukrainian army about Russian troop movements. And they took her away. She is still missing.
United Nations human rights workers documented over 200 cases of enforced disappearances of civilians between February, when the Russians launched their invasion, and late May. Mainly the perpetrators are Russian military or affiliated armed groups.
NPR spoke to five Ukrainian civilians who had been detained by Russian soldiers, transported across the Russian border and held in the same two facilities for several weeks in March, April and/or May. The first facility was a tent camp in Glushkovo, Russia. The second was a jail in Kursk, 250 miles from the Ukrainian border.
Now back home, the interviewees shared parallel stories of violence and humiliation.
They came forward to speak to the media, despite fear of retaliation, because they wanted to help Andrusha's family. She was seen in both places. And those who didn't see her heard rumors about the brave teacher from Brovary.
"On the day they left, she just came up to me, kissed me, and she asked for warm socks," says her mother, Kateryna Andrusha, with tears in her eyes. "And then she asked the soldiers' permission to say goodbye to her father."
The soldiers came back a few days later and arrested Kateryna, who is a local official. They kept her in the basement of a private home nearby, blindfolded, for three days.
Later the family found out that Viktoria was also briefly held in an abandoned building, just a short walk away from Kateryna's office in the village council.
"The Russians didn't let me go, they just ran away," says Kateryna. Because on March 31, the Ukrainian army reclaimed the town of Novy Bykiv.
As the citizens of the town picked up the pieces of their lives, the Andrusha family started to hear from people who had seen Viktoria in captivity. What they heard scared them.
He went from a pit, to a tent, to a jail
"You feel like you're half alive and half dead," Misha, a 27-year-old Ukrainian taxi driver and video blogger, says about his experience being held incommunicado by Russian soldiers.
He says the Russians arrested him on March 7, after he had been helping the Ukrainian army, including by driving a Russian prisoner of war to a checkpoint in his taxi. The Russians held him captive for 35 days. He doesn't want his last name used because he fears further retaliation.
Misha spent the first two days of his captivity outdoors, in a pit in the ground lined with cardboard, in freezing weather. He was wearing only a T-shirt at first, which was ripped while the soldiers were examining his many tattoos to see what they might reveal about his loyalties.
At some point, they gave him a jacket that was taken off a Ukrainian soldier. This gesture made Misha think that they didn't want him dead, at least not right away.
Then Misha rode in an armored personnel carrier across the border to a tent camp in Glushkovo, Russia, that at the time held, he estimated, about 150 people. As all the interviewees reported, the tents were surrounded by barbed wire, guarded by German shepherds and snipers. Detainees were allowed to leave the tents only in a group, holding hands with prisoners on either side and moving at a run. They were allowed only a few minutes at a time to use the bathroom or cram food into their mouths — endless rounds of kasha and cabbage soup, Misha complains. The guards would hit them with batons for moving too slowly.
Volodymr and Tetiana, a married couple in their 50s, who also don't want to use their last names to protect them from Russian retaliation, tell NPR they first met Viktoria in the tent camp. Tetiana and Viktoria shared a tent. They were among very few women in captivity, especially civilian women. Tetiana says the guards didn't hit the women as much as the men.
All five also say Glushkovo was nowhere near as bad as the second facility they were taken to, in Kursk. "The tent camp was nothing special," says Volodymyr. "The detention center was hell."
Viktoria stood up to the guards
"On the first day [in Kursk], they beat us for six hours," says Misha. "They used boxing gloves and stun guns. They wanted to show us who was in charge." The stun gun gives an electric shock that leaves you shaking, he says. And they used it on the back and legs — he thinks that was so as not to make marks that were easy to see.
The jail smelled of fresh paint, Misha says. Once a week, someone would visit the prisoners, introducing himself as a civilian Russian prosecutor. This is the person, United Nations human rights experts say, who in the Russian legal system would be tasked with both overseeing the prisoners' welfare as well as prosecuting the case against them. He asked after their well-being.
But Misha and another former captive, Serhei, both say the people running the prison reminded them of their beating on the first day, and warned them to tell the prosecutor that everything was fine, that they were being treated well.
Serhei and Misha don't know each other. Serhei, 28, works in Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry. He says Russian troops arrested him outside Kyiv in late February for having a navigation device in his car. The Russians stabbed his hands. He suffered severe frostbite in his feet after being held captive outdoors. When he got to the tent camp, he saw a Russian doctor, who amputated parts of his feet.
In Kursk, he was beaten anyway. His surgery wounds got infected and he lost a lot of blood. Only then, much weakened, was he allowed to lie down during the day.
Serhei didn't see Viktoria himself, because women and men were held separately. But he heard about the young math teacher. She had a reputation for defiance.
Viktoria's eldest sister, Iryna, says of the people who have come forward in response to her social media posts about her missing relative, "All of them told me that in captivity, Russians made Ukrainians learn Russian songs and the Russian national anthem. And they said that Viktoria refused to do it."
Iryna continues, "We don't know the truth, exactly. But I know I was told that she spoke Ukrainian, only Ukrainian, and even when Russian soldiers yelled at her, they tried to make her speak Russian, but she refused and spoke only Ukrainian."
This is the Viktoria that Iryna and Kateryna know well. Stubborn. Fair.
In enforced disappearances, the families are also victims
Matilda Bogner, head of the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, says there are four categories of international human rights violations and potential war crimes evident in the stories told to NPR, as well as in dozens of similar cases she has documented.
The first is the detention of civilians who don't pose any immediate security risk.
The second is forcible deportation across borders.
The third is enforced disappearance, which means holding people without allowing communication with the outside world or telling anyone where they are. In these situations, says Bogner, "The families are considered victims as well, because they go through hell trying to find their family member."
Holding people secretly, without any form of due process, also sets the stage for other potential violations — torture, even murder. And those constitute the fourth category of violation: the beatings NPR heard about, the punishing cold, insufficient food, denial of medical care, and humiliation.
It's unclear where, when, or whether these victims will have a day in court. Ukraine's government sentenced three captured Russian soldiers last month and officials say they've documented 14,000 other possible war crimes and counting. The International Criminal Court could step in, and Bogner says there's also talk of setting up a special tribunal.
But first, people in detention have to try to get home alive. The people NPR talked to say they were all released in exchange for Russian soldiers who were held captive by the Ukrainians.
In Misha's case, his followers on YouTube and the social media app Telegram spotted a story about his arrest that ran in the Russian media. This gave his wife and mother-in-law the clues they needed to pressure Ukrainian officials to set up a trade.
Prisoners were being swapped frequently, says Misha, and before they left, there was what he called a "goodbye ceremony."
In Misha's telling, the jailers formed two lines on either side of a corridor. They put sacks on the ground to make it slippery. They forced the prisoners who were being released to run down the corridor, singing Russian songs. As they did, they hit them again with the stun guns.
Misha thinks he recognizes the person he was swapped with on April 10. He says he was "a skinny, dark-haired Russian guy" — the same man, he thinks, that he drove to the checkpoint in his taxi not long before he was first arrested. The Russians set fire to that taxi, a brand-new Mercedes that Misha had just bought for $25,000.
Meanwhile Viktoria Andrusha's family doesn't know for sure if she's still in Kursk. They are contacting everyone they can think of, trying to arrange an exchange for her release.
"I hope every day, and I wait for her," says her mother Kateryna.
They're not the only ones waiting for her. Her big sister Iryna says, "All of her students' families are sending us messages, saying how is Viktoria? Where is Viktoria?"

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday that recent actions in the state will help keep abortion safe, legal and accessible, despite the U.S. Supreme Court decision's on Friday to officially reverse Roe v. Wade.
In anticipation of the expected ruling on the 1973 abortion rights decision, Hochul and the Legislature took preemptive steps in June to protect those rights.
In a statement issued moments after the ruling was announced, Hochul said, “This decision is a grave injustice.”
“History shows us that when abortion is banned, abortion becomes unsafe for women,” the governor said. “Low-income individuals and people of color will be harmed the most.”
The new laws in New York protect the right to an abortion for patients both from New York and from states where the procedure will be banned now that Roe has been overturned.
They include prohibitions on other states to extradite a patient or a health care practitioner to face abortion-related charges if the procedure was conducted legally in New York. The state also does not have to honor a subpoena request from another state if it relates to abortion services in New York.
And health care professionals can’t be charged with professional misconduct or be denied medical malpractice insurance for performing a legal abortion.
The state budget designated $25 million to support abortion care facilities in New York, and an additional $10 million to beef up security at the clinics.
A proposal for an amendment enshrining abortion rights into the state’s constitution has not yet been approved by the governor and the Legislature.
Three years ago, New York updated the 1970 laws that legalized abortion in the state and codified the abortion rights in Roe v. Wade into state law.
Hochul said the amendment got bogged down, though, in details over its exact wording.
"They are close,” Hochul said. “It is simply a matter of language changes.”
Hochul is not ruling out an agreement on an amendment before the end of the year, but she said it might not be fully resolved until next year, meaning the earliest date the measure could go before voters would be 2025.
State Attorney General Tish James said in a statement that, “Today’s ruling is a vicious, dangerous, and deliberate attack on our most basic freedom as humans. Every single person in this country should have the right to make their own decisions about their own bodies.”
James promised that New York will always be a “safe haven” for anyone seeking an abortion, and she said she will “work tirelessly” to preserve that access.
Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called the decision “abhorrent" and said it will have a “life-altering affect” on millions of women.
Anti-abortion groups praised the court’s decision.
Jason McGuire with New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, an evangelical Christian lobbying group, said he and his group “sometimes doubted that we would live to see the day when our prayers would be answered.”
He said the court has ruled “correctly” that there is no constitutional right to abortion.
New York State’s Catholic Bishops, in a statement, said that they “give thanks to God for today’s decision.” | https://www.wxxinews.org/capitol-bureau/2022-06-24/hochul-says-court-decision-a-grave-injustice-but-says-nyers-right-to-abortion-is-protected | 2022-06-24T15:58:10Z | https://www.wxxinews.org/capitol-bureau/2022-06-24/hochul-says-court-decision-a-grave-injustice-but-says-nyers-right-to-abortion-is-protected | false | 3 |
ChenMed Healthcare Allies Respecting Individuality and Sexuality for Members and Associates (CHARISMA) Employee Resource Group Encourages Employees to Recognize Equality Observances
MIAMI, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ChenMed, one of the largest providers of primary care for Medicare eligible seniors, is celebrating "Equality for All" month during June, acknowledging two marginalized groups in U.S. history – Black Americans and LGBTQ+ members.
In honor of Juneteenth, ChenMed Employee Resource Group AWARE2 (All Working Together to Achieve Racial Equity and Equality) encouraged team members to wear representative apparel and colors and invited them to share their perspectives and feelings about the significance of this day. They were provided with Juneteenth branded index cards on which they could write what Juneteenth means to them, which were then posted next to a special Juneteenth banner in ChenMed medical centers and Home Office. Leaders of the medical centers were encouraged to provide team members with a meal sourced from Black-owned businesses. In addition, managers were supplied with a montage video featuring ChenMed family of company employees singing the Black National Anthem ("Lift Every Voice and Sing") and asked to play it at a team meeting. AWARE2 advocates for racial equality and social justice in the workplace and the communities ChenMed serves through education and outreach.
"We believe in creating an inclusive culture at ChenMed and celebrating Juneteenth and honoring LGBTQ+ pride month are some of the ways we do that," said Stephanie Chen, chief legal and culture officer at ChenMed. "If we act with respect, kindness and love – for everyone – we believe it can move us forward as a company and as a nation."
To acknowledge the Stonewall Riots, ChenMed is partnering with its employee resource group CHARISMA (ChenMed Healthcare Allies Respecting Individuality and Sexuality for Members and Associates). This employee resource group supports ChenMed LGBTQ+ team members as they strive for inclusion, serve our patients, and support our communities. CHARISMA, in collaboration with the Culture Team, is encouraging ChenMed employees to wear attire that commemorates equality and recognizes the role the Stonewall Riots played in the development of the Gay Rights Movement.

The U.S. Department of Transportation defines mishandled bags as checked luggage that passengers report lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered while in an airline’s custody during domestic nonstop flights. In April 2022 alone, the department said that more than 219,000 bags were mishandled.
A report by aviation tech company SITA found that the rate of luggage mishandling increased by 24% in 2021. Transfers and international flights tend to have a higher risk of mishandling. And even the best luggage set might not be able to withstand the abuse.
One way to avoid this issue is to use a luggage shipping service. Using these services allows you to travel without dragging heavy bags around or worrying about getting them back in good condition.

Nicolas Cage has never been one to adhere to the traditional leading-man trajectory. Throughout his tenure as one of the movie business’ most unpredictable actors, he’s performed in Hollywood blockbusters (National Treasure), meta mind-benders (Adaptation), and Cannes Palme d’Or winners (Wild At Heart). Cage has always been full of surprises. Most surprising of all is that he turned down two of his biggest roles. Why?
It all comes down to his relationship with his son, Weston. Cage married his current wife, Riki Shibata in 2021. In January, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child together, However, Cage also has a son with his third wife, Alice Kim. Kal-El, who was named in honour of, you guessed it, Superman. He was born in October 2005, just a year after his parents married. Cage’s oldest child is his son Weston Cage Copolla, who he had with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton. Cage and Fulton dated for a couple of years before Weston’s birth in 1990, but broke up when he was a year old and, for the majority of his childhood, Fulton had full custody of Weston- fearful that Cage would have a negative influence over him.
When Cage was given the opportunity to spend time with Weston, he made it his number-one priority, He even turned down two gigantic roles because they would have taken him away from his son. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, Cage revealed that he turned down roles in both The Lord of The Rings and The Matrix franchises because they would have forced him to leave Weston behind in Los Angeles. When Peter Jackson realised that he’d cast Aragorn too young, he was forced to find a replacement at short notice. Cage was one of the actors he approached, offering the actor the role for 2001’s The Fellowship Of The Ring.
The multi-film contract would have required Cage to spend three years in New Zealand. The actor, not wanting to abandon Weston, turned down the offer, which was eventually taken up and immortalised by Viggo Mortensen. “I always put my family first,” Cage said, “And I have turned down some enormous opportunities as a result of that.” Around the turn of the millennium, Cage was in the process of divorcing his first wife, Patricia Arquette. This was just one of the many factors that convinced him to turn down another iconic role: Neo in The 1999 film The Matrix. Cage later told the Hollywood Reporter that he has no regrets about his choice. “A version of Nick Cage that doesn’t want to spend time with his kid doesn’t exist,” he said.

Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
In the wake of yesterday’s spectacularly dispiriting loss to the Mariners, today seems like a fitting day to take stock of what we like—and don’t like—about the Oakland Athletics in 2022.
Let’s start with the easier part: what’s not to like about the A’s.
- They have the worst record in MLB at 23-48.
- They’re on pace to lose a franchise record 109 games.
- They have the third lowest payroll in MLB.
- They are “tanking” even though the incentive to do so has been greatly diminished.
- They might move to Las Vegas.
- They are one of just five MLB franchises that still don’t pay players for extended spring training.
That last point isn’t talked about often, but sadly it is not too surprising. Grinding in the minor leagues is tough. Some incremental gains have been made thanks in part to efforts by the non-profit Advocates for Minor Leaguers. In the past couple of years, most organizations have acquiesced to pressure to pay players for extended spring training, a period in between regular Spring Training and the minor league season in which participants carry an extra heavy workload of training and playing games.
But as Evan Drellich at The Athletic reported yesterday, the A’s are one of just five holdouts that are still not paying for extended spring training. The other four include the Angels, Brewers, Marlins, and Reds.
Drellich spoke with a number of players who detailed their struggles to keep up with the demands of playing and training while only being paid for about three months of the year. Some minor-leaguers struggle with poverty and even food insecurity. Some quit baseball altogether—these pressures on many players in the minor leagues could be a force of attrition in the talent pool that keeps the game alive.
The matter of pay for extended spring training is part of a class-action lawsuit, Senne vs. the Commissioner’s Office, which is in settlement talks and may result in an agreement to pay for minor league players’ efforts outside of the regular season both prospectively and retroactively.
The refusal of MLB organizations to pay fair wages to minor-leaguers is exploitative and disgraceful, and as of today, the A’s are among the worst offenders. They could make a huge difference by sending the $9 million in revenue sharing the organization is getting this year to support their minor-league players. That’s less than a year of Billy Butler! But I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The A’s did not respond to The Athletic’s requests for comment on the story.
So what’s to like about the A’s in 2022? Well, speaking for myself: they’re still the green-and-gold-clad team I’ve loved all my life, in large part because they are the closest MLB team to my birthplace, which is Stockton. The franchise has a rich history and many past successes. I love almost all of the players; they may be terrible as a team, but that is almost entirely the fault of ownership.
They also have the best fans in all of baseball! But that’s about all I’ve got right now. How about you?

There’s bad, and then there’s this.

The PTI vice-chairman had alleged that the Punjab government was violating the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) code of conduct ahead of the by-elections on 20 seats of the provincial assembly, prompting Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja to take notice. The Chief Election Commissioner had taken notice of Qureshi’s allegations and had directed the Provincial Election Commissioner to probe the matter and submit a report in this regard.
