Jersey election mission publishes initial response to vote
Observers of Jersey's election have published their preliminary findings on how the vote was carried out.
Representatives from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Election Observation Mission praised the rise in the number of candidates from diverse backgrounds who were elected and the increased number of contested elections.
However, they also highlighted issues in the delivery of election materials by Jersey Post and inaccuracies in the voter registration system which were seen on polling day, with some voters turning up at the wrong polling station in some areas where electoral boundaries had changed or new polling stations created.
The report also referred to concerns expressed by some during the campaign about the changes to the electoral system.
Among the other findings:
Vote.je did not publish information about the number of voters, invalid ballots or turnout at polling stations as is common practice in other jurisdictions.
The Jersey Election Authority, the body which oversaw the electoral process, should have been established sooner than six months before polling day as this 'impeded its full functioning'.
The team of Observers will publish a full report with more detailed findings in August. | https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-06-24/jersey-election-mission-publishes-initial-response-to-vote | 2022-06-24T16:12:23Z | https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-06-24/jersey-election-mission-publishes-initial-response-to-vote | false | 1 |

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Matt Williams, The Conversation
(THE CONVERSATION) Aside from the political and legal implications of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade – ending the constitutional right to abortion – are the real-world effects the ruling will have. Millions of women in the U.S. will be affected by the ruling.
Research by the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization dedicated to advancing reproductive rights, suggests that around 1 in 4 American women have an abortion by the age of 45, with those seeking the procedure more likely to come from low-income families. Many of these poorer women will be adversely affected by the additional travel and costs they are now more likely to face when seeking an abortion.
But the Supreme Court’s decision will touch the lives of women across America, regardless of economic status. Here are some articles The Conversation has published addressing the impact of overturning Roe on women’s health and well-being.
The risk to life of staying pregnant
The research is clear: Access to safe, legal abortion saves lives. Amanda Jean Stevenson, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, notes that women who are unable to access safe abortions suffer “a slew of negative consequences for their health and well-being.”
Stevenson’s research has looked at what would happen should the U.S. end all abortions nationwide. To be clear, this is not what will happen now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe. Instead, the decision to ban the procedure will be left to the states – around half of which are expected to prohibit or severely restrict abortion. Nonetheless, Stevenson’s data underlines an important point: Pregnancy carries a greater risk for women than having an abortion.
“Abortion is incredibly safe for pregnant people in the U.S., with 0.44 deaths per 100,000 procedures from 2013 to 2017. In contrast, 20.1 deaths per 100,000 live births occurred in 2019,” she writes.
Stevenson estimates that “the annual number of pregnancy-related deaths would increase by 21% overall, or 140 additional deaths, by the second year after a ban.” The jump in deaths would be even higher among non-Hispanic Black women.
Delays and third-trimester terminations
Women living in states that heavily restrict abortion access already face delays when it comes to obtaining a procedure to end their pregnancy. And this pushes some pregnant women into seeking terminations during their third trimester.
Abortions after 21 weeks of pregnancy remain exceedingly rare. When they do occur, it tends to be the result of one or two things, according toKatrina Kimport at the University of California, San Francisco. The first is new information relating to a pregnancy, such as problems with fetal development. The other reason is existing barriers to abortion access. State policies, such as bans on public insurance coverage of abortion, mean that economically disadvantaged women may not be able to afford an abortion when they first want one. Such delays can cause women to seek out the procedure later in pregnancy.
The Supreme Court ruling will inevitably worsen the problem for women living in states that ban abortion.
Kimport explains: “For people in states where abortion is banned, having to travel across state lines is likely to delay people in obtaining abortion care, potentially into the third trimester. And people in states where abortion is still legal may also be pushed into the third trimester as an influx of out-of-state patients could lead to delays for in-state patients.”
Abortion pills – a safe alternative
The Supreme Court decision allows states to put in place their own laws governing abortion. But when it comes to medication abortion, or abortion pills, it is more complicated.
Abortion pills, introduced into the U.S. in 2000, have opened up the options for women seeking to end a pregnancy. But up until the pandemic, they were highly regulated – for example, the medication had to be provided in person and at abortion clinics. The pandemic changed all this. Women could have the medication mailed to them after a telehealth consultation with a clinician. Gone, too, was the requirement that the patient undergo an ultrasound before being prescribed the pills.
Some conservative states are already eyeing laws to clamp down on abortion pills. But this might put them at odds with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which allows mail-order pharmacies to send out medication. Meanwhile, some liberal states have said they will enact laws protecting doctors who prescribe abortion pills to women living in states with abortion bans.
With pills set to become a new battleground in the abortion debate, The Conversation invited three experts – Claire Brindis and Daniel Grossman of the University of California, San Francisco, along with Lauren Owens of the University of Michigan – to contribute to a panel discussion on medication abortion. The key takeaways from that discussion: Abortion pills are effective and “very safe.”
Moreover, as Ushma Upadhyay of the University of California, San Francisco, found, the prescribing of abortion pills via telehealth consultations carries no additional risk. Writing up the findings of her study for a separate article for The Conversation, Upadhyay notes that “screening for a patient’s eligibility based on their medical history instead of physical exam or ultrasound was just as safe and effective as in-person tests and exams.”

Kyle Rittenhouse releasing video game to raise money for defamation lawsuits against media
Published: Jun. 24, 2022 at 10:39 AM CDT|Updated: 37 minutes ago
(CNN) - Kyle Rittenhouse says he is releasing a new video game to raise money to pay for defamation lawsuits against the media.
Rittenhouse, 19, was acquitted of shooting and killing two people and wounding a third during a protest in Wisconsin in 2020.
On Thursday, he announced his new game called “Kyle Rittenhouse’s Turkey Shoot” which allows players to shoot “fake news turkeys.”
“Play as Kyle Rittenhouse to destroy fake news turkeys in a simple point n’ shoot game for all ages to enjoy!” the game’s website reads.
The game is not yet available, although he is encouraging his fans to pre-order it for $9.99.

A North Texas school district has updated its dress code for the upcoming school year to ban hooded clothing as well as dresses and skirts for many of its grade levels, reasoning that the change will help students in their future careers.
The bans quickly elicited a backlash from parents, students and others who view the policy as unnecessarily restrictive, prompting one high school student to create a petition to "fight unreasonable dress code changes" announced by the Forney Independent School District (FISD).
The new policy, which applies to all 18 of FISD's schools, prohibits clothing such as hoodies, coats and jackets with hoods inside the school, and also forbids students in grades five and above from wearing dresses, skirts or skorts.
The dress code also requires students to wear solid colored shirts and slacks, shorts or capri pants in navy blue, black or khaki colors. Among the things the dress code prohibits are demin pants, sleeveless shirts, t-shirts, overalls or clothing with holes in it.
The district emphasized in its announcement of the policy change that the shift is intended to prepare students to enter the workplace. It also said the policy gives FISD "a positive and distinctive identity" and reflects the "values of the schools and community," according to a statement and video released by the district.
The video announcement published by FISD lays out the district's reasoning behind the new policy and features a voiceover from a student.
"I may be a little young to understand what professionalism means right now, but the skills I'm learning are an essential part of being successful in my future career," the student says. "Every profession has a dress code, whether it's scrubs, a welding helmet or a chef's apron. The way I dress plays an important role in professional and safety, both in the classroom and on the job site."
If a student violates the dress code, they will be "given an opportunity to correct the problem at school," the policy says. If the violation is not corrected, the student may be placed under in-school suspension until the violation is fixed or until a parent or other adult brings the child different clothing that fits the policy, it says.
The newly unveiled policy change has met resistance and criticism from residents who disagree with the bans and the district's reasoning, including parents Amy and Derick Hollaman, whose children attend FISD schools. The couple told CNN affiliate WFAA that they doubt the restricting will help students.
"A young lady should be able to choose what she wears," Derick Hollaman told WFAA. "They shouldn't be forced to wear pants."
One of their daughters, Forney High School student Brooklynn Hollaman, started the petition opposing the new dress code, arguing the policy is "completely wrong" and "unfair." The petition has gathered more than 3,500 signatures as of Friday, though it is unclear if the signatures are all from people within the district.
"There are so many important future workforce skills that we want to impart in our kids as they head off to have a successful future," FISD Superintendent Justin Terry says in the announcement video, listing characteristics including creativity, collaboration and "baseline employability skills" like showing up to work on time, communicating positively with coworkers, and following the expectations of an employer.
The dress code is made to "improve student self-esteem, bridge socio-economic differences among students, and promote positive behavior, thereby enhancing school safety and improving the learning environment," FISD said in its statement.

Al Davis, John Madden Named to California Sports Hall of Fame
Two of the greatest icons in the history of the Raiders franchise, longtime owner, coach, and general manager Al Davis and legendary coach John Madden, will be inducted into the California Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2022 on June 26.
The induction is just one of many honors the two have received in their respective careers. Both football titans are in Canton, Ohio's Pro Football Hall of Fame. Davis was inducted as part of the Class of 1992, while Madden was enshrined in 2006.
The Raiders won three Super Bowl titles while Davis served as owner and general manager, including one with Madden as head coach, the first-ever in the franchise's history in Super Bowl XI.
Madden led the Silver and Black to eight playoff appearances, seven division titles, and seven AFL/AFC title game appearances.
He and Davis won 103 regular-season games and nine playoff contests together.
Davis passed away in 2011, while Madden passed last December.

The two will join 11 other Raiders in the California Sports Hall of Fame, including franchise legends Cliff Branch, Tim Brown, Jim Plunkett, Jim Otto, and Marcus Allen.
Along with Davis and Madden in the Class of 2022 will be sportscasters Roy Firestone and Ted Robinson, and sports columnist Bill Plaschke.

Although the transgressive auteur’s attempts to create a cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s DUNE in the mid-’70s famously ended in failure, Alejandro Jodorowsky would soon continue a creative partnership with visionary artist Jean “Mœbius” Giraud; over the three-and-a-half decades that followed until the latter’s death in 2012, the two collaborated on numerous comic book projects, and while The Incal would arguably be their most celebrated effort together, their first was 1978’s The Eyes of the Cat (Les Yeux du Chat). Now, Cadabra Records has issued a new musical accompaniment to the graphically fantastical world first crafted by Mœbius and Jodorowsky 44 years ago, created by composer Fabio Frizzi, best known for his work with legendary giallo horror director Lucio Fulci. Clocking in at approximately 25 minutes, The Eyes of the Cat sees the exploratory musician creating an audio companion to the original comic using many pieces of equipment he employed at the time of the book’s original publication, combining vintage synthesizers with modern production sensibilities and blending aspects of metal, acoustic, ambient, and even jazzy passages to give a sonic resonance to the images first dreamt and drawn by Mœbius and Jodorowsky – what the composer refers to as “an ambitious luminaria.” Performed entirely by Fabio Frizzi and recorded and mxied with engineer Giuseppe Meddi at Octupus Music Factory Studio in Rome, The Eyes of the Cat is now available in three 150g vinyl variants – transparent yellow “Medux and the Hunt”, red mix “Eye of the Cat”, and hand poured yellow-and-black splatter over clear vinyl, the latter limited to 25 copies. All variants are printed on deluxe heavyweight gatefold tip-on jackets showcasing artwork from the graphic novel by Jean “Mœbius” Giraud, with extensive liner notes by Frizzi and Aaron Lupton, and including a 24″ x 36″ promotional poster.
Rumors had abounded in 2013 following the release of the Frank Pavich documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune that Danish filmmaker and Jodorowsky disciple Nicolas Winding Refn would direct a live action adaptation of The Incal, but he would refute these rumors in 2016. In November of 2021, Jodorowsky made an official announcement that New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi would be adapting the title for the big screen, calling him “exactly the right person for the project.” Waititi’s directorial credits including episodes of The Mandalorian, Flight of the Conchords, and What We Do In the Shadows, as well as Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder.

Break out the caviar. A truly lavish comedy has landed, fittingly enough, on the wealthiest of streaming services. Loot — streaming on Apple TV+ from June 24 — casts the fantastic Maya Rudolph as the wife of a tech CEO who has just divorced her husband. This leaves her marooned amid more money than she — or, truly, anyone — knows what to do with.
The premise is as immense as the parallel is clear. The story of MacKenzie Scott is unique and inspirational. Scott, who got $36 billion following her divorce with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has since emerged as one of the world’s most active philanthropists, giving away her billions so enthusiastically — Forbes estimates $12.5 billion in donations in less than two years — that she may single-handedly make up for several of Amazon’s misdeeds.

A comedy series is the right vehicle for this unlikely narrative, which would likely be painfully sanctimonious as a drama. Loot is created by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard, who also made Rudolph’s rather special 2018 Amazon comedy Forever. More pertinently, both were writers on Mike Schur’s superb Parks And Recreation, a series Loot emulates more than one would expect. Is this heroic philanthropic narrative best suited to a gentle, even generic, workplace sitcom? I’m not so sure.
Rudolph plays Molly Wells, formerly married to tech tycoon John Novak, his name bringing to mind the recently disgraced tennis legend. After walking out on Novak — played by Adam Scott, who stars in the most superlative of Apple TV+ shows, Severance — she finds herself unmoored, partying in exotic locations, mistaking bartenders for Sting and falling into swimming pools.
She is an unflattering news item. The famed David Chang may be her in-house chef, but Molly takes most meals alone in her mansion while ignoring overtures from men like Malcolm Gladwell (he sends her New Yorker articles; she replies with exclamation marks). Hers is a life devoid of purpose — until she realises that there exists a charity foundation in her name, striving to help the unhoused people of Los Angeles.
Thrilled by the idea of having an office — and, importantly, having her newly Novak-free name on the door — Molly starts going to the foundation regardless of the unambiguous discouragement from the foundation leader, the intimidating, no-nonsense Sofia Salinas, played by Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. Molly’s friend-slash-aide Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) is right behind her, while other inhabitants of the office include accountant Arthur (Nat Faxon) and Molly’s distant cousin Howard (Ron Funches).
As workplace comedies go, Loot has an excellent ensemble: Rodriguez is strong as the boss-lady unimpressed by wealth, Booster is highly entertaining as the obsequious assistant — a Birkin-only bag-man, if you will — and few comedians can deliver a line quite like the delightful Ron Funches. Surprised his billionaire cousin might be dating someone he considers beneath her, he says she can have anyone she wants. “They’ll probably make you a whole new Hemsworth,” he promises, “Give him a Gosling head.”
“Never give a man too much money, especially a nerd,” says a character, skewering all technology moguls. Another hears the term “Black Twitter” and trying to find a counterpart, regrettably comes up with “White Facebook.” When Molly dresses up for a gala and starts trying out an acceptance speech on Nicholas, he asks if she wrote that herself. “Look at me in this dress!”, she exclaims, aghast. “Do I look like a writer?”
Fair enough.
Despite the good lines, the writers may be the problem. Loot doesn’t engage with the premise’s ideas and questions. It is pleasant but unmemorable, which is criminal when Rudolph is doing such striking work. She makes empathy thrillingly palpable. Molly Wells is aggressively, desperately engaging with real people, connecting, trying to be one of them, trying not to judge them. This is a far cry from her mega-wealthy girlfriends forever trying to make the air around them more rarefied, their table more exclusive, their lives more out-of-touch. (In an early scene, when Molly says her yacht should have a full-time Crêpe-chef, it is suggested that they find one going through a divorce, likely to have more time to make pancakes at sea.)
The show does have meaty ideas — the seductive power of big-ticket causes over less glamorous ones, for instance, or the ineffectuality of simply throwing money at problems — and it all builds up to a big philanthropic idea in the season finale, one that could well make Loot an essential comedy in the future. However, even this potentially high-concept revelation isn’t exactly breaking new ground. The show would have been far richer had Molly had stumbled upon this within the first 2-3 episodes.

I’m reminded of the 1994 film Richie Rich, where Macaulay Culkin took a bunch of kids back to his cartoonishly rich estate only for them to freak out at the fact that he had his very own McDonald's. Watching Rudolph go from gigayacht to private jet, from Corsica to a dreamy candy room, feels a bit like that. It’s aspirational wish-fulfilment, and there are joys to be had in watching Maya Rudolph and her friends have a ludicrously grand time on Apple’s dime. The ironic thing is that despite Loot’s budget, intent and credentials, it feels disappointingly generic. For now, it’s an off-the-rack sitcom, one you’ve seen before. May next year be bespoke.
Streaming tip of the week:
Joel Kim Booster, the breakout performer from Loot, was great in the Fire Island film a few months ago and has a new comedy special out this week. Psychosexual (Netflix) is an unapologetic, original and deeply personal special, with punchlines you’ll remember for days.

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Authorities in Ecuador on Friday accused a mob of attacking a military and police convoy, seriously injuring 17 soldiers and burning three trucks near the country’s capital, where Indigenous protesters blocking roads have brought the city to a near halt.
Army Gen. Edwin Adatty, commander of the Quito task force, said protesters shot rifles and fireworks and carried other weapons during Thursday's attack.
“This is not a social protest. It is an exaggerated, disproportionate social violence for political purposes,” he said. The convoy had been trying to free private vehicles and food-carrying trucks that had been blocked by protesters.
The demonstrations are part of a national strike that the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities began June 14 to demand that gasoline prices be cut by 45 cents a gallon to $2.10, price controls for agricultural products and a larger budget for education. Protests have been especially violent in six provinces in the north-central part of the South American country.
The confederation on Thursday said a demonstrator died of pellet wounds in the chest and abdomen while protesting near the National Assembly in Quito, where about 100 other people suffered a variety of injuries. Two other deaths were previously reported.
Police tweeted that officers were also injured by pellets.
Quito is experiencing food and fuel shortages because of roadblocks and other disruptions from the unrest. Production Minister Julio José Prado said that nearly 600 private vehicles and food-carrying trucks are trapped in Nanegalito, a community about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Quito.
In the capital, groups of protesters have roamed the city attacking vehicles and civilians and forcing the closure of businesses, some of which were looted. They have also punctured the tires of buses, forcing passengers to walk.
The organization Human Rights International said that that four of its staff members were physically attacked and robbed while “carrying out research and verification work on the protests” in Quito.
“We reject these actions, and we call for dialogue,” that organization tweeted.
The situation prompted several embassies, including those of Germany, Britain, Canada and the U.S., to issue a public statement expressing concerns about “the fundamental rights of all citizens,” and calling for the parties to negotiate and reach “concrete agreements.”
The U.S. Department of State issued an advisory Wednesday warning travelers about the widespread protests. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Protesters-in-Ecuador-attack-military-police-17263452.php | 2022-06-24T16:33:40Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Protesters-in-Ecuador-attack-military-police-17263452.php | false | 13 |
Updated June 23, 2022 at 12:27 PM ET
Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] put out a new advisory warning that even tiny amounts of some of PFAS chemicals found in drinking water may pose risks.
Scientists are finding PFAS everywhere. When products like this end up in landfills, these pollutants seep into our soil, air, and drinking water. That's how PFAS are ending up in food, wildlife, and even our bloodstream.
So, how do we navigate a world filled with harmful chemicals?
Arlene Blum is a biophysical chemist and the executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute, and she spends a lot of her time educating the public about PFAS, including members of Congress.
She guides us through what PFAS are, why they're a problem, and what can be done about them.
What are PFAS?
Short for "per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances," PFAS are a class of thousands of man-made chemicals that have been around since the 1940s.
And as the nickname suggests, "forever chemicals" are here for a long time. They don't break down, which has led to widespread contamination.
Manufacturers use PFAS to make products resistant to oil, heat, stain, or water. They are found in everything from cosmetics, to outdoor gear, non-stick pans, food wrappers, and countless others, according to the CDC.
Blum says PFAS are her "favorite" because they are the best and the worst.
"They're the best in that they're very useful at keeping things dry, keeping grease out of things," she said. "But they're the worst because... they never break down, and all of the ones that have been studied have been found to be harmful."
In 2016, the EPA said PFAS were not a threat at low levels: 70 parts per trillion. The agency just changed that advisory, lowering the "safe" threshold to essentially zero. PFAS still pose risks at levels so low that they're not detected, the EPA said.
What do PFAS do to your health?
In short, nothing good.
Scientists are still learning about the effects of PFAS on humans, but studies show these chemicals can harm different systems in the body.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry says exposure to PFAS may lead to higher risk for kidney or testicular cancer, increased cholesterol levels, and damage to the liver and immune system.
Additionally, a study published in the journal Hypertension found that PFAS can lead to high blood pressure in middle-aged women.
Blum says that even though everyone likely has PFAS in their body, that doesn't mean every person will develop these conditions. These are potential side effects that have been found as a result of exposure to these pollutants.
What's being done about this?
U.S. government officials have taken a number steps to address PFAS pollution on the state and federal level.
Along with the recent drinking water advisory, the EPA announced $1 billion in infrastructure grant funding to address pollution from PFAS and other chemical contaminants. Their goal is to improve health protections with things like water testing.
In October 2021, the White House announced initiatives to protect communities and the environment from PFAS. The Biden administration listed steps for eight government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, to tackle PFAS pollution.
Several officials testified before a Senate committee hearing in 2021 about the Department of Defense's measures to deal with these chemicals, specifically at defense sites around the country. According to the DOD, it has invested more than $1.5 billion in PFAS research and cleanup efforts and is trying to help people on the frontlines that have been affected the most – like blood testing for firefighters that are exposed to the PFAS in firefighting foam.
Blum says that government regulation would force companies to take action, but the responsibility also falls on the private sector to stop using PFAS in their products.
"Manufacturers can move faster than the government," she said. "But the possibility of government regulation definitely moves them forward."
What can I do?
Well, that's complicated.
Blum pointed out that this burden shouldn't fall on the shoulders of the consumer, and PFAS can be hard to avoid completely. She says it's really up to the manufacturers and the government to stop – or ban – using these chemicals.
Plenty of companies have pledged to stop using these compounds in any products, including some clothing, fast food, and outdoor sports brands. The Green Science Policy institute put together a list of brands of products that are PFAS-free.
According to Blum, if you already own something that contains PFAS, it's safe to use as long as you're using it correctly (for instance: don't overheat your non-stick pans). She just asks that you look for another alternative when it's time to replace them.
"You can wear your jacket, you can use your pan, but don't buy another one [that was manufactured with PFAS]," she said.

Yash Dubey and Shubham Sharma pulled the rug from under heavyweights Mumbai's feet by scoring tons and led Madhya Pradesh to a giant leap towards their maiden Ranji Trophy title.
Mumbai's first innings score of 374 looked good on the second day but Dubey and Sharma added 222 runs for the second wicket. MP was 368/3 at the end of day three.
Madhya Pradesh need only seven more runs to take a decisive first-innings lead and unless they suffer a collapse in the fourth innings, the title is theirs for taking.
The duo set the field on fire. Rajat Patidar then used his newfound confidence to hammer 67 with 13 boundaries.
MP would certainly want to stretch their innings as much as possible so that Mumbai have no chance to make a comeback in the game.
The biggest disappointment for Mumbai was their spinner Shams Mulani who bowled too many loose deliveries.
Dhawal Kulkarni and Tushar Deshpande also showed below-par performances.
When Mulani came in, Sharma hit a six, leaving his skipper Prithvi Shaw frustrated.
While Dubey hit 14 boundaries and Sharma had 15 hits and a maximum to his credit, what stood out during their partnership was their running between the wickets.
Dubey and Sharma ran 76 singles between them in their double-hundred-plus partnership.
Arman Jaffer missed a catch of Sharma at a short point, Mumbai hardly created any chances although Mohit Avasthi could be credited for bowling one channel.
Dubey did repeat the ‘Sidhu Moosewala’ celebration (thigh thump and index finger pointed towards the sky) but it was more about driving home a point for Sarfaraz Khan, who was sledging the duo.
By the time, Sharma was caught behind off Avasthi and Dubey gave Mulani something to cheer after another 72-run third-wicket stand, some of the Mumbai players were on their hunches.
Patidar was smashing them for fun and the writing is clearly on the Wall.
Madhya Pradesh is walking away with the title unless there is a miracle in the last two days.
In the 1998-99 season, when the first time MP reached the final, they had lost to Karnataka.

The Supreme Court on Friday formally overturned its 49-year-old landmark Roe v. Wade decision, and with it ended a half-century of constitutionally guaranteed abortion rights in the United States.
The 6-3 decision in the case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, was telegraphed in May by an unprecedented leak of an early draft of the majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito. But even though the final, official version was slightly less strident than the leaked document, the impact is the same. The right to an abortion has been eliminated as if it never existed at all. The decision about whether to allow the procedure now falls to individual state governments, and only 16, plus the District of Columbia, have passed laws to preserve the option, while two others have state constitutional protections that have been cited by state courts as protections for abortion.
The majority opinion, whose signers included Justice Clarence Thomas and all three justices appointed by President Donald Trump — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — said in no uncertain terms that 1973’s Roe, and a 1992 case that reaffirmed that right, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, were wrongly decided.
“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,” wrote Alito. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Chief Justice John Roberts, an abortion opponent who had telegraphed when the case was argued in December that he was in favor of upholding the Mississippi law at the center of the case, agreed with the judgment but filed his own, concurring opinion in which he said he would not have gone as far. “I would take a more measured course,” he wrote. “The Court’s opinion is thoughtful and thorough, but those virtues cannot compensate for the fact that its dramatic and consequential ruling is unnecessary to decide the case before us.”
On the other hand, the three remaining liberals on the court, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer, who is retiring at the end of this term, pulled no punches.
“One result of today’s decision is certain: the curtailment of women’s rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens,” wrote Breyer, in a dissent signed by all three of the liberals. “Yesterday, the Constitution guaranteed that a woman confronted with an unplanned pregnancy could (within reasonable limits) make her own decision about whether to bear a child, with all the life-transforming consequences that act involves. … But no longer. As of today, this court holds, a State can always force a woman to give birth, prohibiting even the earliest abortions.”
It is hard to overstate the impact of the court’s action. While the Supreme Court has in the past reversed long-standing decisions, most notably in cases involving race relations, the court has never granted a right and then erased it.
In this case, the impact is also immediate. Thirteen states have so-called trigger laws that ban abortion, set to take effect upon Roe’s reversal. Other states have had pre-Roe abortion bans that could become active again, and some have post-Roe restrictions that are blocked by courts but could also take effect. In all, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks reproductive health policy, 26 states are likely to ban or severely restrict abortion now that they are formally allowed to.
Reaction from those who support abortion rights was swift, although there is little they can do immediately to stop the wave of bans or restrictions. The House of Representatives has a majority of members who support abortion rights in at least some circumstances, but any legislation that would write abortion protections into federal law would lack the votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a statement released quickly after the decision, said: “Today, the Republican-controlled Supreme Court has achieved the GOP’s dark and extreme goal of ripping away women’s right to make their own reproductive health decisions. Because of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, the Republican Party and their supermajority on the Supreme Court, American women today have less freedom than their mothers.” | https://shepherdgazette.com/conservatives-on-supreme-court-as-expected-end-nationwide-right-to-abortion/ | 2022-06-24T16:36:28Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/conservatives-on-supreme-court-as-expected-end-nationwide-right-to-abortion/ | false | 2 |
Ruckus in Punjab Assembly over law & order
Pointing to the killing of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala last month, he said there has been many incidents to show that the law and order situation is bad.He insisted that Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan should fix time and allow a discussion on it.The Speaker responded by saying that ample time will be given to the members during the the budget session at an appropriate time.Congress members also protested that they wanted to raise burning issues during the zero hour but were not allowed.

Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Punjab Assembly on Friday as the opposition Congress moved an adjournment motion seeking a discussion on law and order, a demand which was rejected.
The Congress members rushed to the well of the House and raised slogans.
Senior Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa said the opposition's adjournment motion was rejected on the grounds that the ''matter is sub-judice''.
''How can entire law and order issue be sub-judice, one or two or few cases may be sub-judice,'' argued Bajwa, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly. Pointing to the killing of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala last month, he said there has been many incidents to show that the law and order situation is bad.
He insisted that Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan should fix time and allow a discussion on it.
The Speaker responded by saying that ample time will be given to the members during the the budget session at an appropriate time.
Congress members also protested that they wanted to raise ''burning issues'' during the zero hour but were not allowed. As the party members rushed to the well of the House, they were joined by BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal and lone Bahujan Samaj Party members.
Later, the Congress members also staged a brief walkout. Bajwa also wanted that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who was present in the House at that time, should clarify ''his video statement that his life was in danger''.
''Can there be anything more important if the head of a state says his life is in danger. We are very concerned. We would not have sought this discussion on the law and order situation had the chief minister not said in a video during the Sangrur bypolls campaigning that his life was in danger,'' he said. Later, the Speaker said that the chief minister will respond to this on Saturday.
Bajwa claimed that politicians, commission agents, businessmen among others were getting threat calls.
''Our former deputy chief minister O P Soni has also received a threat call and has given a police complaint in this regard,'' he said.
On the Speaker saying that being a senior and experienced member the Congress leader should cooperate, Bajwa responded, ''What good will the experience be if I am shot in the evening...everyone's life is important, we are concerned about the safety of all.'' Moving the motion of thanks and initiating discussion on the Governor's Address, AAP senior leader Aman Arora took on the previous regimes for allegedly patronising the gangsters.
While referring to opposition having raked up the law and order issue, he said it needs to be seen from a wider perspective.
He said the three-month-old Bhagwant Mann-led government was doing its best to set right the wrongs done in the past.
Intervening in the discussion, Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said Moosewala and many others' security was curtailed and the details were made public.
This murder could have been prevented if the threat, which he was already facing, taken seriously by the government, said Warring.
''During the past 90 days, 70 lives have been lost, that is why we are saying detailed discussion on law and order is needed,'' he said.
Aman Arora said according to the National Crime Records Bureau, the number of heinous crimes in the state have come down this year.
Taking part in the discussion on the Governor's Address, Bajwa said Punjab has passed through difficult times in 1980s and 1990s.
''We need to take law and order issue seriously,'' said Bajwa.
Referring to Punjab Police investigations in the Moosewala killing case, Bajwa questioned ''how had (gangster) Lawrence Bishnoi (the alleged mastermind in the case) used mobile phone in the Tihar jail.'' PTI SUN VSD RDK

Hull City have bolstered their ranks by agreeing a deal to sign Portuguese defender Tobias Figueiredo. The 28-year-old was an unused substitute in Nottingham Forest's 1-0 Championship play-off final win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley last month, but played 26 times for the Reds in what proved to be a historic campaign.
Figueiredo had been an ever-present at Forest since signing from Sporting Lisbon, initially on loan, in January 2018. The defender has proven himself a no-nonsense stopper at Championship level and could be a great addition to the Tigers’ squad.
He will become the fourth major signing at the MKM Stadium this summer, joining Allahyar Sayyadamnesh, Adama Traore and Ozan Tufan as City boss Shota Arveladze looks to strengthen his squad for the Championship campaign.
Figueiredo began his career with Sporting in his native Portugal, beginning with the academy sides. While he did play for the first team, he enjoyed loan spells at Reus and Nacional, before moving to England with Forest, again initially a loan. A permanent move followed in 2018.
He has played for his country at every level up to Under-23, winning 65 caps for Portugal at youth level.

The US Supreme Court on Friday took the dramatic step of overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that recognized a woman's constitutional right to an abortion and legalized it nationwide, handing a momentous victory to Republicans and religious conservatives who want to limit or ban the procedure.
The court, in a 6-3 ruling powered by its conservative majority, upheld a Republican-backed Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. The justices held that the Roe v. Wade decision that allowed abortions performed before a fetus would be viable outside the womb - between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy - was wrongly decided because the U.S. Constitution makes no specific mention of abortion rights.
A draft version of the ruling indicating the court was likely to overturn Roe was leaked in May, igniting a political firestorm.
Mississippi's law had been blocked by lower courts as a violation of Supreme Court precedent on abortion rights.
Jackson Women's Health Organization, the only abortion clinic remaining in Mississippi, challenged the 2018 law and had the support of Democratic President Joe Biden's administration at the Supreme Court. The law allows abortions when there is a "medical emergency" or a "severe fetal abnormality" but does not have an exception for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
A federal judge in 2018 struck the law down, citing the Roe precedent. The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2019 reached the same conclusion.
Roe v. Wade recognized that the right to personal privacy under the U.S. Constitution protects a woman's ability to terminate her pregnancy. The Supreme Court in a 1992 ruling called Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey reaffirmed abortion rights and prohibited laws imposing an "undue burden" on abortion access.
Chief Justice John Roberts denounced the May 2 leak of Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion in the case and announced an investigation to identify the culprit. Supreme Court leaks are extremely rare, especially concerning internal deliberations before a ruling is issued. Following the leak, Biden condemned the overturning of Roe as a "radical" step and urged Congress to pass legislation protecting abortion access nationally.
Thousands of people rallied for abortion rights in Washington and other cities after the leak, including some protesters at the homes of some conservative justices. A California man armed with a handgun, ammunition, a crow bar and pepper spray was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Maryland home on June 8 and charged with attempted murder. Read full story
The justices in 2016 struck down a Texas law imposing strict regulations on abortion facilities and doctors. The justices in 2020 struck down a Louisiana law that similarly placed restrictions on doctors who perform abortions. But the court has become more conservative in recent years with the addition of three appointees made by former President Donald Trump.
Since 2018, the court lost two champions of abortion rights. Liberal Justice Ruther Bader Ginsburg died in 2020, being replaced by Amy Coney Barrett, who as an academic before joining the judiciary signaled support for overturning Roe.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, a conservative who sometimes sided with the liberal justices on social issues such as abortion and LGBT rights, retired in 2018 and was replaced by Kavanaugh. Kennedy was part of the majority in the 1992 decision and voted to strike down the Texas abortion restriction in 2016.
Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017 replaced the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who was an abortion opponent.
Opinion polls show a majority of Americans support abortion rights. But overturning Roe has been a goal of anti-abortion activists and Christian conservatives for decades, with annual marches in Washington including in January of this year.
The number of U.S. abortions increased by 8% during the three years ending in 2020, reversing a 30-year trend of declining numbers, according to data released on June 15 by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supporters abortion rights. Read full story
The U.S. abortion rate peaked in 1980, seven years after the Roe ruling, at 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women of child-bearing age - 15-44 - and stood at 13.5 per 1,000 in 2017 before increasing to 14.4 per 1,000 women by 2020. In 2020, there were 930,160 U.S. abortions, with 20.6% of pregnancies ending in abortion in 2020, up from 18.4% in 2017. Mississippi experienced a 40% increase in abortions performed from 2017 to 2020.
Globally, abortion rights generally have been increasing. The U.N. World Health Organization said around 73 million abortions take place globally each year, including 29% of all pregnancies.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — After weeks of ferocious fighting, Ukrainian forces have begun retreating from a besieged city in the country's east to move to stronger positions, a regional governor said Friday, the four-month mark in Russia's invasion.
The planned withdrawal from Sievierodonetsk, the administrative center of the Luhansk region, comes after relentless Russian bombardment that has reduced most of the industrial city to rubble and cut its population from 100,0000 to 10,000. Ukrainian troops fought the Russians in house-to-house battles before retreating to the huge Azot chemical factory on the city's edge, where they remain holed up in its sprawling underground structures in which about 500 civilians also found refuge.
In recent days, Russian forces have made gains around Sievierodonetsk and the neighboring city of Lysychansk, on a steep bank across a river, in a bid to encircle Ukrainian forces.
Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk have been the focal point of the Russian offensive aimed at capturing all of the Donbas and destroying the Ukrainian military defending it — the most capable and battle-hardened segment of the country’s armed forces. The two cities and surrounding areas are the last major pockets of Ukrainian resistance in the Luhansk region — 95% of which is under Russian and local separatist forces' control. The Russians and separatists also control about half of the Donetsk region, the second province in the Donbas.
Russia used its numerical advantages in troops and weapons to pummel Sievierodonetsk in what has become a war of attrition, while Ukraine clamored for better and more weapons from its Western allies. Bridges to the city were destroyed, slowing the Ukrainian military's ability to resupply, reinforce and evacuate the wounded and others. Much of the city’s electricity, water and communications infrastructure has been destroyed.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said Ukrainian troops have been ordered to leave Sievierodonetsk to prevent bigger losses and move to better fortified positions. Ukraine's military spokesman declined to confirm the retreat order, saying government policy prevents comments on Ukrainian troop movements.
“Regrettably, we will have to pull our troops out of Sievierodonetsk,” Haidai told The Associated Press. “It makes no sense to stay at the destroyed positions, and the number of killed in action has been growing.”
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking in Washington on condition of anonymity, on Friday called the Ukrainians' move a “tactical retrograde” to consolidate forces into positions where they can better defend themselves. This will add to Ukraine’s effort to keep Russian forces pinned down longer in a small area, the official said.
Haidai noted that while the retreat is under way, some Ukrainian troops remain in Sievierodonetsk, facing massive Russian bombardment that has destroyed 80% of buildings.
“As of today, the resistance in Sievierodonetsk is continuing,” Haidai told the AP. “The Russians are relentlessly shelling the Ukrainian positions, burning everything out.”
Haidai said the Russians are also advancing toward Lysychansk — from Zolote and Toshkivka, adding that Russian reconnaissance units conducted forays on the city's edges but its defenders drove them out. The governor added that a bridge leading to Lysychansk was badly damaged in a Russian airstrike and is unusable for trucks. Ukrainian military analyst Oleg Zhdanov told the AP that some of the troops moving away from Sievierodonetsk are heading to the fight in Lysychansk.
In other battlefield reports, the Russian Defense Ministry declared Friday that four Ukrainian battalions and a unit of “foreign mercenaries” totaling about 2,000 soldiers have been “fully blocked” near Hirske and Zolote, south of Lysychansk. The claim couldn’t be independently verified.
Following a botched attempt to capture Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, in the early stage of the invasion that started Feb. 24, Russian forces have shifted their focus to the Donbas, where the Ukrainian forces have fought Moscow-backed separatists since 2014.
After repeated requests to its Western allies for heavier weaponry to counter Russia's edge in firepower, four medium-range American rocket launchers have arrived, with four more on the way. The senior U.S. defense official said Friday that more Ukrainian forces are training outside Ukraine to use the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, and are expected back in their country with the weapons by mid-July.
The rockets can travel about 45 miles (70 kilometers). Also to be sent are 18 U.S. coastal and river patrol boats. The official said there is no evidence Russia has been successful in intercepting any of what has been a steady flow of military aid into Ukraine from the U.S. and other nations. Russia has repeatedly threatened to strike, or actually claimed to have hit, such shipments.
IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged music fans at the Glastonbury Festival to “spread the truth about Russia’s war.” Speaking to the crowd at the British music extravaganza by video on Friday before a set by The Libertines, Zelenskyy said, “We in Ukraine would also like to live the life as we used to and enjoy freedom and this wonderful summer, but we cannot do that because the most terrible has happened – Russia has stolen our peace.”

An official with the pro-Moscow administration in the southern city of Kherson that was captured by Russian troops early in the invasion was killed in an explosion Friday. The pro-Russian regional administration in Kherson said that Dmitry Savlyuchenko died when his vehicle exploded in what it described as a “terror attack.” There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

RIVERDALE, Md. – The Prince George’s County Police Department is urging anyone with information on a shooting Tuesday evening in Riverdale to contact detectives. The victim in this case is a 14-year-old boy who detectives believe was not the intended target.
He remains hospitalized with serious injuries but is in stable condition at this time. A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.
On June 21, 2022, at approximately 6:25 pm, officers responded to the 6000 block of 66th Avenue for a shooting. The victim was outside suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his legs.
Good Samaritans had applied pressure to his wounds before officers arrived. The officers then placed a tourniquet on the victim until medical personnel arrived on the scene.
The preliminary investigation revealed the victim and his mother had just exited a laundromat when two suspects opened fire in their direction. The suspects then fled the area.
Investigators are actively working to determine a motive and identify the suspects.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call 301-699-2601.

Designs for an ‘impressive’ aqueduct can be drawn up in the latest stage of the ambitious multi-million pound Chesterfield Canal restoration project. The Chesterfield Canal Trust will now be inviting tenders to design the aqueduct, which will be 37 metres long and stand ten metres above the River Doe Lea, at Staveley.
The cost of the designs will be met with £91k funding from Chesterfield Borough Council, however, the group still needs to source the funds for the building project itself, which will exceed £1 million. Rod Auton, the trust’s publicity officer, said once the structure is complete it will be ‘famous’, adding: “People will come to see it.
“It will be really big and impressive.” He explained that when the canal was first built in the late 18th Century there were just two culverts, or tunnels, built to allow the river to pass beneath it.

When the waterway fell into decline, the Environment Agency made adjustments to the area to address flooding issues, which the new Doe Lea Aqueduct will bypass. The steel structure promises to be a feat of engineering, and Mr Auton said there were challenges that needed to be addressed, such as the lack of nearby roads and the existence of overhead power lines, which will prevent the use of a crane.
“The abutments on either side have got to be really big and you have got to dig down to bedrock, which will be 40/50 feet down, to have supporting pillars for the abutments,” the retired teacher continued. He said the weight of the water once the canal is operational will also need to be considered.
The group is hoping the complete restoration of the 46-mile waterway by 2027, the 250th anniversary of its original opening in 1777. Mr Auton said their ability to stick to this date was dependent upon funding.
The trust celebrated success earlier this year when they were awarded £5.3million from the Staveley Town Deal, which will go towards extending the canal half a mile from Hartington Harbour onto the Staveley Puddlebank. They are now hopeful they will be able to get financial backing for the aqueduct build, possibly in the form of sponsorship.
With all the investment currently in Chesterfield and Staveley towns, the group hopes the canal will attract tourists. They aim to start work on the aqueduct in 2024 in line with the other planned works on that stretch of canal, subject to design and funding.

Does a woman have the right to choose abortion? This question is at the heart of a social debate reignited by a legal turnaround in the United States.
The American Supreme Court has overturned a constitutional right granted in a landmark 1973 ruling, called Roe vs Wade, which had legalised abortion across the country. A leaked document containing the views of judges had already shaken the US, and pro-choice protesters have been out on the streets.
But what is this judgment from five decades ago that's now been overturned?
Whose names are these?
Jane Roe was a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey, who was 22, unmarried, unemployed, and pregnant for the third time in 1969, when she sought to have an abortion in the state of Texas. By the time the US Supreme Court ruled in her favor, McCorvey had given birth to a girl whom she placed for adoption. Others did get the right to abort as a result of her legal battle, though.
Henry Wade was the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, whose job it was to enforce a state law prohibiting abortion (except to save a woman's life). Technically, he was the person that Roe/McCorvey sued when she sought the abortion.
What was the 1973 verdict?
The question before the US Supreme Court was: Does the American constitution recognise a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy by abortion? The court said a woman's decision to have an abortion during the first three months of her pregnancy must be left to her and her doctor.
Since this was a decision of the Supreme Court, it overruled all other legal tangles around the abortion across the US.
What happens after the overturn?
A reversal of the 1973 judgment means that individual states can decide on legality of abortion. In a country that has seen deeply divided political and social opinions over the past few years, this will mean different laws across the US.
Religious and social conservatism is widespread particularly in the southern and western states. Conservatives, traditionally Republican Party supporters, argue that life begins at conception.
The liberals, mostly seen as Democratic Party supporters, maintain that this is about a woman's right to choose. So, in a relatively liberal California, the governor had said "we are going to fight like hell" against any overturning.
But leaders in conservative states like South Dakota, Arkansas, Georgia and Indiana planned special legislative sessions to ban abortions as soon as the Supreme Court overturned the binding judgment.
Many states have tough laws already, though the Row-vs-Wade judgment meant they could not cross a line. With the judgment reversed, at least 13 states have laws that allow them to ban abortion immediately or within 30 days. These laws would have exceptions if the life or health of the woman is in danger. But many do not make exceptions for pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest.
However, experts say that even if the Supreme Court overturned Roe-vs-Wade, more than half the US states may still allow abortions; but most of the mid-west and the south may not.
What can women do?
Laws against abortion put many women at risk of back-alley abortions outside institutional care.
In effect, with the Roe-vs-Wade binding is removed, the US will look very different for different people, according to an article in the New York Times.
For women in the relatively liberal Democratic states, and for women elsewhere who have the means to travel to a clinic, abortion may still be accessible.
But poor women, especially in many Republican states, may find traveling to other states for in-clinic abortions to be an impossible challenge.
Where's the politics at?
Traditionally, the Democratic Party has been pro-choice, something borne out by President Joe Biden's stand on abortion. The country has mid-term elections this autumn, and President Biden has vowed to make abortion rights a defining issue.
The Republicans and other conservatives have largely stuck to their stance, which they call "pro-life", against abortions rights. And they will see the overturning as a victory.
Interestingly, a survey by CNN showed that just 30 per cent of Americans wanted the court to completely overturn Roe-vs-Wadee, whereas 69 per cent opposed such a move. | https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/roe-vs-wade-explained-whats-the-abortion-law-that-has-us-on-the-edge-3097994 | 2022-06-24T16:50:04Z | https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/roe-vs-wade-explained-whats-the-abortion-law-that-has-us-on-the-edge-3097994 | false | 1 |

BRUSSELS (AP) — The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Friday he has asked judges for authorization to resume his investigation “as quickly as possible” into the so-called war on drugs in the Philippines.
Judges last September authorized Prosecutor Karim Khan to investigate alleged crimes against humanity between Nov. 1, 2011 and March 16, 2019, linked to the deadly crackdown.
However, the probe was suspended last November after the Philippines said in a letter to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan that it already is investigating the crimes and so the international court doesn’t have jurisdiction.
“The court may only exercise jurisdiction where national legal systems fail to do so, which is certainly not the case in the Philippines,” the letter said, citing domestic investigations.
However, Khan has now sought to resume his probe, saying in a statement that “I have concluded that the deferral requested by the Philippines is not warranted, and that the investigation should resume as quickly as possible.”
More than 6,000 mostly poor drug suspects have been killed, according to government pronouncements, but human rights groups say the death toll is considerably higher and should include many unsolved killings by motorcycle-riding gunmen who may have been deployed by police.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has defended the crackdown as “lawfully directed against drug lords and pushers who have for many years destroyed the present generation, especially the youth.”
Duterte has denied condoning extrajudicial killings of drug suspects although he has openly threatened suspects with death and has ordered police to shoot suspects who dangerously resist arrest.
The ICC is a court of last resort for cases that countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute. Under the court’s rules, a country can request deferral of an investigation if it is already investigating the crimes. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Intl-court-prosecutor-seeks-to-reactivate-17263456.php | 2022-06-24T16:59:05Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Intl-court-prosecutor-seeks-to-reactivate-17263456.php | true | 39 |
Johnny Depp's Lawyer Camille Vasquez Helps Save Flight Passenger in Medical Emergency
Camille Vasquez, one of Johnny Depp's attorneys in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, reportedly rushed to the aid of a fellow American Airlines passenger after he had a mid-flight medical emergency. TMZ reports that Vasquez and a bodyguard were on a flight from Los Angeles to New York this week when an unnamed man in his 70s fell to the floor while walking past Vasquez in first class.
Vasquez and the bodyguard reportedly jumped from their seats to help the man before a doctor on board took over. The plane eventually returned to LAX where the man, who was at that point conscious, was escorted off the plane by EMTs.
The outlet reports that Vasquez got in touch with her brother-in-law, who is a doctor, to help her determine if the man suffered a heart attack or brain bleed as a result of his fall. Her bodyguard reportedly used his Apple Watch to check the man's heart rate.
Flight attendants on the plane reportedly gave Vasquez bottles of merlot and champagne, calling her "Wonder Woman," in order to thank her. A spokesman for American Airlines, Derek Walls, told PEOPLE, "On June 20, American Airlines flight 184 with service from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York (JFK) returned to Los Angeles due to the medical needs of a customer."
Vasquez helped lead Depp to victory in court earlier this month following the six-week defamation trial he brought against Heard. He won all three defamation claims in the cast and was awarded $15 million in damages by a seven-person jury, though the judge reduced the amount that Heard will have to pay to $10.35 million. Depp was also found to have defamed Heard on one of three claims in her countersuit. She was awarded $2 million in damages. | https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/johnny-depp-lawyer-camille-vasquez-helps-save-flight-passenger-medical-emergency/ | 2022-06-24T16:59:44Z | https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/johnny-depp-lawyer-camille-vasquez-helps-save-flight-passenger-medical-emergency/ | true | 1 |

Hackers stole $100 million, crypto company says
Published: Jun. 24, 2022 at 12:55 PM EDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
(CNN) - Hackers have stolen $100 million from California-based cryptocurrency firm Harmony, the company said Thursday.
The thieves hit a “bridge,” a program that allows the transfer of cryptocurrency.
It’s unclear who’s behind the heist.
Harmony tweeted Thursday night that they’re “working around the clock” in their investigation alongside the FBI and multiple cyber security firms.
Harmony joins a long list of cryptocurrency firms that have been plundered by hackers for millions of dollars at a time.
A tracking firm said hackers have stolen over $1 billion from cryptocurrency bridges this year alone.

Montrealer Bennedict Mathurin Was Drafted Into The NBA & Wore Family Pictures On Stage
Congrats, Bennedict!!
A star is born. The Indiana Pacers selected Montrealer Bennedict Mathurin to join their team during the 2022 NBA Draft on Thursday. Mathurin was the sixth pick overall.
According to ESPN, the 6'6" 20-year-old grew up in Montreal to parents from Haiti.
He went on to attend the NBA Academy Latin American in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, the first Canadian to do so.
Mathurin's sister and mother attended the draft with him.
"Family is everything for me," he said after the event, revealing photos of his sister and brother, who is deceased, stitched inside his suit jacket. "Family is my main motivation. It's why I wake up every day and try to be the best."
\u201c"family is everything for me." \n\n@BennMathurin explains the special meaning behind his draft night fit.\u201d— Indiana Pacers (@Indiana Pacers) 1656043083
"I'm extremely proud," Mathurin's sister tearfully told ABC.

Governor Tom Wolf released the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and the dismantling of the landmark Roe v. Wade, which had protected access to abortion:
“First and most importantly, it is critical that everyone understands that abortion services are available and unharmed in Pennsylvania by today’s Supreme Court action. Providers may still provide reproductive health care services and patients should continue the health care plan they’ve developed with their physicians.
“Nonetheless, I am deeply disappointed in today’s Supreme Court opinion and the impact this decision will have nationwide. The right to bodily autonomy—and privacy as a whole—is under attack in this country. We must do more to protect the rights of women and pregnant people in every state across the country that doesn’t have a governor willing to wield their veto pen.
“As we approach a critical election cycle here in Pennsylvania, I cannot stress enough how important it is to exercise your personal right to vote. Elections matter.
“This decision did not happen overnight. Right-wing extremists have been strategically planning to dismantle decades long decisions to further their agendas and divide our country with policies designed to infringe upon our freedoms. They have done so one vote at a time, one election at a time across our beloved nation. We cannot allow this to continue.
“Americans are feeling defeated and angry today, and I don’t blame them. However, as long as I am governor, I vow to protect abortion access and reproductive health care in Pennsylvania.
“To women and pregnant people in surrounding states and across the country where this isn’t the case, you are safe here in the commonwealth.”
Since taking office, Gov. Wolf has championed abortion access by vetoing three different anti-abortion bills passed by Pennsylvania’s General Assembly and vowed to veto the rest. | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/578319893/gov-wolf-reacts-to-dismantling-of-roe-v-wade-elections-matter | 2022-06-24T17:17:54Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/578319893/gov-wolf-reacts-to-dismantling-of-roe-v-wade-elections-matter | false | 4 |
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria is grappling with widespread fuel shortages that are forcing motorists to spend hours in lines to buy gas and causing prices to surge for transportation and basic commodities.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has caused prices to import fuel go up by more than 100% but retailers complain they can only charge the price set by the government, causing them to operate at a loss.
The government’s promises that the shortages will soon end have not improved the situation. Fuel retailers are pleading with the government to deregulate the market to allow them set their own prices.
But the Nigerian government this week insisted that the pump price must remain the same.
“The war in Ukraine has caused an increase in the diesel price (but) you have not allowed them (retailers) to increase the price … to recover that cost. So where are they going to get the extra money?” asked Clement Isong, CEO of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria.
Nigeria’s current gas shortage — the third in 2022 — is because gas retailers are struggling with rising costs, Isong said. The cost of transporting gasoline to the depots has gone up by 80% in the past few months, he said.
“People are suffering,” he said, urging the government to allow higher prices. “What we are saying is, do it (raise the price) slowly, let it not stay fixed,” said Isong.
Gasoline shortages are frequent in Nigeria even though the country is one of Africa’s biggest producers of crude oil. Nigeria produced an average of 1.42 million barrels per day in May, according to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. However, the country must import most of its fuel because it has very few functioning refineries.
Some gas stations have gone ahead and increased their prices, which has reduced their lines, while others in Abuja, the capital, continue to sell at the government-set pump price.
The way out of the gas shortage is to allow gas stations to charge more, said Uwadiae Osadiaye, senior vice president, energy and industrials at FBNQuest Merchant Bank.
“Adjust the pump price higher so that tanker drivers are not running into a loss,” he said. Other fuel sellers agree that deregulation is “the most efficient way” out of the continued petrol scarcity.
Taxi driver Bagana Usman says his daily earnings have dropped by 60% because of the long waits he endures to get gas. He spent most of Thursday in a line for fuel.
“My prayer is for this fuel scarcity to end so that everybody will survive,” the father of two said. “Let us continue our work.” | https://www.wtrf.com/news/international/nigerians-blame-fuel-shortage-on-ukraine-war-fixed-prices/ | 2022-06-24T17:20:53Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/international/nigerians-blame-fuel-shortage-on-ukraine-war-fixed-prices/ | true | 32 |
A new competition is offering modified car creators the chance to have their pride and joy immortalised as an official Hot Wheels model.
The world-famous toy car brand has launched its annual Legends Tour with a search for the UK’s wildest and most eye-catching homegrown creations to go wheel to wheel with other customised cars from around the world.
Last year’s global winner was Lee Johnstone, from Somerset, whose Volvo P1800 Gasser wowed judges, including Ian Callum, the Scots designer behind the Aston Martin Vanquish and DB9, and the Jaguar F-Type and I-Pace.
This year, entrants will be pitting their full-sized machines against Hot Wheels hopefuls from 14 other countries in the dream of having their real life car turned into a 1:64 scale model.
And, to mark the Legend’s Tour’s fifth anniversary, owners will have two opportunities to win, with a fan favourite from each region also in the running to be recreated as a diecast model.
The competition is open to owners of any customised car that “embodies the Hot Wheels spirit”, from pre-war hot rods to modern hypercars and extreme hot hatches. To enter, owners need to upload a short video walkaround of their car to the competition website before 31 August 2022.
This year’s judging panel includes new presenters and avid car modifiers Helen Stanley and Jonny Smith (The Late Brake Show), as well as Ian Callum. The panel will be looking for the vehicle in the UK that “best embodies Hot Wheels performance, authenticity and ‘garage spirit’.”
Ten UK finalists will be selected and gathered together in front of a live audience for the judging process in early October. Car Throttle followers will vote for their favourite, while the judges will select the UK winner. The Grand Final will take place in the US in November.
“As the Hot Wheels Legends Tour expands around the globe, we have been blown away by the passion, enthusiasm and effort that goes into creating these spectacular cars that fuel popular culture and deserve to be Hot Wheels models,” said Ted Wu, global head of vehicle design at Mattel. “Having seen how fans loved our first winner outside the US, we decided to immortalise a regional winner alongside the overall victor. Two Legends are better than one.”
Last year’s winner, Lee Johnstone said: “I never imagined that we would win but it’s been amazing to be part of the design process and meet the team that is responsible for creating the toy cars that fans of any age love.
“You just can’t beat that thrill of seeing your car scaled down in the Hot Wheels pack. I’d urge anyone to enter just to share that moment. It’s unforgettable!” | https://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/hot-wheels-legends-tour-offers-modified-car-fans-the-chance-to-have-their-car-added-to-famous-toy-range-3743236 | 2022-06-24T17:21:57Z | https://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/hot-wheels-legends-tour-offers-modified-car-fans-the-chance-to-have-their-car-added-to-famous-toy-range-3743236 | false | 18 |
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — More than 50 tenants at a Santa Fe apartment complex are being forced to move out because of electrical issues.
Residents of the Railyard Flats told Albuquerque's KOB-TV that they lost power Friday and were told by management to leave by July 6.
In a statement, Railyard Flats said repairing the electrical issues could take months because of back order and supply chain problems. But residents will be placed in hotels through July 8. They will also be allowed to break their leases with no penalty.
Residents are worried about finding a new home in a short amount of time. Helen Wang says she only moved to Santa Fe a couple weeks ago and it took her months to find an apartment.
Donna Huaman-Castillo and her daughter are still staying in their apartment for now. They are taking cold showers and sleeping on air mattresses.
It was not immediately clear if the outage was related to the one that left more than 10,000 Santa Fe customers without power Thursday morning.
Public Service Company of New Mexico says that outage was caused by a crow touching a 46,000-volt line at a transformer station.
Power was restored after 45 minutes. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Santa-Fe-complex-residents-must-move-after-power-17263480.php | 2022-06-24T17:23:13Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Santa-Fe-complex-residents-must-move-after-power-17263480.php | false | 12 |

(The Hill) — The first state abortion bans have taken effect after the Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, driving home the immediate consequences of the monumental decision.
Abortion bans are now in effect in Louisiana, South Dakota, Kentucky, and Missouri, and more states are expected to soon follow.
Thirteen states have “trigger” laws that ban abortion in the event of Roe v. Wade being struck down. Not all of those trigger laws go into effect immediately, but in three states they do: Louisiana, South Dakota and Kentucky, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
In Missouri, which first required the change’s certification from the state attorney general, Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Friday quickly certified that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, putting the ban into effect.
“With this attorney general opinion, my Office has effectively ended abortion in Missouri,” said Schmitt, who is currently running for the U.S. Senate.
His office said there are exceptions to the ban for a “medical emergency.”
“My Office has been fighting to uphold the sanctity of life since I became attorney general, culminating in today’s momentous court ruling and attorney general opinion,” Schmitt added.
Six other states could soon follow, according to Guttmacher, once their requirement of certification from the state attorney general or other official occurs: Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming.
Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban had originally brought the issue before the high court.
Three more states have trigger bans that will take effect in 30 days: Idaho, Tennessee and Texas.
In Kentucky, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear blasted the trigger law taking effect.
“Today’s decision triggers an extremist Kentucky law that creates a total ban in Kentucky that will eliminate all options for victims of rape or incest,” Beshear tweeted.
The cascade of state abortion bans illustrates that abortion will be illegal in most cases across many of the states controlled by Republicans. Women in those states seeking abortions could have to travel hundreds of miles, at significant cost, to try to find a provider.
Overall, Guttmacher estimates that abortion is likely or certain to be banned in 26 states.
“Even with today’s horrible decision, abortion is still legal in most of the country. People who need care should go to abortionfinder.org,” Planned Parenthood said in a statement. | https://www.fox46.com/nexstar-media-wire/first-state-abortion-bans-kick-in-following-supreme-court-ruling/ | 2022-06-24T17:38:36Z | https://www.fox46.com/nexstar-media-wire/first-state-abortion-bans-kick-in-following-supreme-court-ruling/ | true | 17 |
My wife has no idea I use Viagra every time we make love
DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife has no idea that I need to use Viagra every time we make love.
Without it, I can’t get, or keep, an erection strong enough.
I’m 58 and have been depending on the pills, which I buy online, for the past 18 months.
My wife is 55 and we have been married for 30 years.
They’re stashed away in my wash bag, and I swallow one shortly before we go to bed when it’s clear she’s in the mood.

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.
I’m terrified she will find them and realise I’m no longer able to satisfy her naturally.
It makes me feel like less of a man. I also feel very uncomfortable keeping this a secret.

DEIDRE SAYS: Having erection problems is distressing but common in men as they age.
It’s not a good idea to self-prescribe Viagra, as there may be an underlying medical cause.
My support pack, Solving Erection Problems, has more information.
Please make an appointment with your GP.
Perhaps you could tell your wife you need to see a doctor as a way to discuss this issue.
She loves you for more than your ability to have sex. Stop keeping secrets and let her support you. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/18989713/my-wife-has-no-idea-viagra/ | 2022-06-24T17:38:38Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/18989713/my-wife-has-no-idea-viagra/ | true | 3 |
Momentum is building for the University of Wisconsin football program’s 2023 recruiting class after a slow start.
The Badgers have secured oral commitments from 11 prospects for next year’s class, with 10 of those pledges coming in May and June. UW doesn't have to worry about the 25-player signing limit after the NCAA changed rules this spring lifting the limits for two years and it’s in hot pursuit of some four-star prospects who will help boost its rankings.
UW currently holds the No. 28 class in the country per 247Sports and is No. 25 in Rivals’ rankings; both recruiting sites rank the Badgers’ current class as eighth-best in the Big Ten Conference.
UW’s recruiting returns to this point under the direction of Mickey Turner has revealed some trends that are likely to continue as the program builds out the rest of its class, and exposed a key position the Badgers are a bit behind.
Here are four takeaways from UW’s 2023 recruiting class thus far.
People are also reading…
1. Out-of-state focus
Only one Wisconsin product is orally committed to the Badgers’ 2023 class. That’s rare for a program that’s historically done well keeping its top in-state players from leaving, but so far the Badgers have only offered a scholarship to one Wisconsin native, according to 247Sports’ database. This year’s in-state class doesn’t have the same talent level as the 2022 class in which five four-star prospects called Wisconsin home.
Just one of the state’s eight three-star prospects — Milwaukee tailback Nate White — has been offered a scholarship by UW. White orally committed to UW in May.
Without in-state talent to build around, Badgers coaches have branched out with some success, particularly in Illinois. Three of the team’s prospects hail from Illinois, all from the Chicagoland area. UW has also pulled sought-after players like cornerback Jace Arnold (Georgia), running back Jaquez Keyes (Ohio) and outside linebacker Jordan Mayer (Pennsylvania) out of talent-rich states.
2. Quick turnarounds
Some of these future Badgers decided to commit pretty quickly after receiving their offers.
Offensive lineman James Durand tweeted that he received an offer from UW on March 26, and less than six weeks later on May 6, he announced his commitment to the football program. Keyes posted his offer in an April 16 tweet, and less than a month later, declared he wanted to become a Badger on May 13.
Projected safety Justin Taylor holds the quickest publicly announced offer-to-commitment timeline in the class of 2023 currently. He disclosed the offer from UW on May 11, and two days later, tweeted his decision to commit.
Of course, relationships and interest can and have developed prior to offers being delivered to recruits. Durand told the State Journal last month how coach Paul Chryst came out to see him during his track season in late February. Taylor recalled the relationship between he and UW began “at the beginning of the spring evaluation period” when outside linebackers coach Bobby April III visited his high school, Nazareth Academy, in La Grange Park, Illinois.
Wide receiver Trech Kekahuna, who previously played for Saint Louis School in Honolulu, Hawaii, took an unofficial visit to Madison last November. However, he announced an offer from the Badgers on June 6 after a UW camp, then declared his commitment less than two weeks later on June 19 after returning for an official visit last weekend.
3. QB needed
UW doesn’t have a quarterback committed yet, which is out of the norm. UW, Michigan, Ohio State and Rutgers are the only Big Ten programs without a signal-caller orally committed to their 2023 classes.
The Badgers didn’t sign a scholarship quarterback in the 2020 class, but it’s been since the 2015 class that the program had to wait until June for a quarterback commitment. UW’s sights seem set on Pierre, South Dakota, prospect Lincoln Kienholz after their pursuits of four-star recruits JJ Kohl and Brayden Dorman came up empty.
Kienholz is a three-star recruit who visited UW this month, but wouldn’t be a player expected to compete right away. UW’s quarterback recruiting for the 2024 class is already underway, so if UW loses out on Kienholz to other interested schools like North Dakota State and Wyoming, it could look to add a transfer to bridge the gap. Returning starter Graham Mertz has two seasons of eligibility remaining after 2022.
Quarterback is one position at which it’s fair to question whether UW’s year without a recruiting staff hurt its ability to land a highly rated prospect in this class. QBs are recruited earlier in their high school careers and are in heavy contact with their suitors throughout the process. Chryst was the team’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator on top of his other duties last season, but he hired Bobby Engram for the OC and QB coach roles this season.
4. Big targets in range
Fans concerned with the Badgers’ ranking in the bottom half of the Big Ten thus far can take solace in the fact that UW will shoot up those charts if it’s able to land some of its top remaining targets.
Chief among them would be four-star linebacker Tackett Curtis. Curtis is the No. 81 prospect and No. 7 linebacker in the nation, according to 247Sports, and he’s been a priority for April and defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard on the recruiting trail. He took an official visit to Madison on the first weekend of June, but visited USC last weekend and was reportedly set to visit Ohio State this weekend.
The Many, Louisiana, product told Rivals this week he’s looking to make his decision by the end of July.
Offensive tackle Joe Crocker, who’s ranked as a four-star prospect by Rivals, was also in Madison the first weekend of June and has been a focus for the staff. UW has just one offensive lineman committed thus far in Durand, the three-star recruit who plays for Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona. Securing a pledge from Crocker would continue deepening the offensive line position and act as a pillar to build around for this class.
Consensus four-star cornerback Braeden Marshall would bolster an already solid defensive back class built by Leonhard and cornerbacks coach Hank Poteat. Marshall officially visited UW the weekend of June 10 and he’s set to announce his decision July 30. UW is in competition with a host of programs including Clemson, Nebraska, North Carolina and Pittsburgh for the Lake City, Florida, recruit’s services.
Marshall previously announced official visits to Central Florida, UW and North Carolina — the latter for this upcoming weekend — and has since posted pictures on his Instagram page from Central Florida, UW and Pittsburgh earlier this month.
Other recruits for UW fans to keep an eye on include tight end Zach Ortwerth, defensive lineman Ashton Sanders, and another trio from Illinois – defensive lineman Jamel Howard Jr., defensive back Kahlil Tate and offensive lineman Christopher Terek.
Sanders is set to decide between California and UW on Friday evening.

That is why she asked one of her dancers to dress like her and be seen in the venue for great artists while she enjoyed the festival.
This is how she told it herself in an interview with AppleMusic: “It’s something I’ve done occasionally in different places and it’s pretty cool when it works. Everyone present thought it was me. No one knew it wasn’t meliterally no one.”

The first images of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the ‘Barbie’ movie are filtered
Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are in charge of interpreting Barbie and Ken in the real-action film of Barbie. In fact, this Thursday the first images of this pair of actors getting into the skin of their characters have already been leaked.
For the occasion, both make even a stylistic match. And it is that judging by the image everything seems to indicate that they are recreating a cowboy scene. To do this, the gorgeous 31-year-old Australian actress wears a long, lush blonde wig, a bubblegum pink outfit and a white hat. For her part, the handsome 41-year-old actor has dyed his hair peroxide blonde and wears a black denim jacket with white details and fringes.

In Gee Chun is alone atop the Women’s PGA Championship following a sensational start.
In fact, no player has ever been further ahead after 18 holes at a women’s major.
Chun breezed to an 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a five-stroke advantage after the first round at Congressional. While most of the field slogged through the day on the wet Blue Course, Chun birdied seven of eight holes during one stretch. She was seven shots ahead when she finished her round and ended up tying a record for the largest 18-hole lead at a major.
Mickey Wright led this tournament by five after the first round in 1961.
“I don’t know what golf course In Gee is playing,” defending champion Nelly Korda said after finishing her round of 71.
Chun was playing the same course as everyone else — one that went through a full restoration last year. There was heavy rain in the area overnight and more precipitation during play Thursday morning. That softened the course but also made Congressional’s length — 6,809 yards for this first round — more of a factor.
No big deal for Chun, a two-time major winner.
Sports
Get today's sports news out of Los Angeles. Here's the latest on the Dodgers, Lakers, Angels, Kings, Galaxy, LAFC, USC, UCLA and more LA teams.
“The course, after a lot of rain, feels longer,” the 27-year-old South Korean said. “At the same time, greens were softer. So I think it was just a balance.”
Although there was plenty of golf left to play, Chun’s big lead certainly turned heads.
“I can’t stop staring at the leaderboard,” Justin Thomas tweeted. “Leading by 7 halfway thru day 1!!!!”
Pornanong Phatlum and Hye-Jin Choi shot bogey-free rounds of 69 to cut Chun’s lead to five, but that was still a big enough advantage to tie Wright’s mark. The 1961 tournament was one of a record four victories by Wright at this event. Chun is trying for her first.
Chun did set a major championship record — for men or women — when she won the Evian Championship in 2016 at 21 under. She also won the U.S. Women’s Open the previous year.
Paula Reto and Jennifer Chang were at 2 under. Korda and playing partner Brooke Henderson were part of a nine-player group at 1 under. One example of how challenging the course was: Korda hit driver, hybrid and 7-wood while making par on the 587-yard ninth hole.
“That’s the longest par 5 I’ve ever played,” she said. “I was happy to play the front nine even.”
Chun, who started on the back nine, birdied Nos. 15, 16, 17 and 18. After a bogey on No. 1, she rebounded with three more birdies in a row.
Chun hit all 14 fairways and said she passed the time by discussing non-golf topics with caddie Dean Herden.
“We talk about the kiwis because I love to eat kiwis on the course,” she said. “It’s really tough to find a good kiwi from the supermarket. Luckily, we have a good Korean supermarket near here, so I got a good gold kiwi from there.”
If Chun keeps playing like this, she might find it easy to relax on the course, but she’ll have a talented group of challengers chasing her. Jennifer Kupcho, who won her first major at the Chevron Championship earlier this year, was 1 under. Phatlum’s impressive round included an ace on the 199-yard second.
Inbee Park, Lydia Ko and world No. 1 Jin Young Ko all shot 72, one stoke better than U.S. Women’s Open champ Minjee Lee.
In fact, if not for Chun, a lot of players could feel pretty close to the lead.
“I feel like I played really well. The course is really hard,” Kupcho said. “I don’t really know how In Gee is 8 under right now. That’s definitely an outlier.”
NOTES: Emma Talley (78) finished while putting with a wedge after her putter was damaged during the round. ... Lizette Salas and Cristie Kerr both shot 80. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/in-gee-chun-races-to-record-tying-5-shot-lead-at-womens-pga/2924037/ | 2022-06-24T17:49:54Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/in-gee-chun-races-to-record-tying-5-shot-lead-at-womens-pga/2924037/ | true | 31 |

We from Mydreams we had the pleasure of interviewing her.
Can you describe who Gloria Bennati is and how she approached music?
“I think I’m a simple person, careless, emotional and with big dreams. My passion for music was born with me and the first memory I have are the long car journeys with my parents who sang the songs of Mina and Celentano. Singing with them, my mother heard my voice and took me to singing lessons. ‘

New York politicians react to Supreme Court's abortion rights decision
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, ending nearly five decades of constitutional protections for abortions. The outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half of the states.
We've gathered statements from New York's leaders regarding the landmark decision.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY)
"Today, the Supreme Court took away the right of millions of Americans to make decisions about their own bodies. This decision is a grave injustice.
"I want everyone to know that abortion remains safe, accessible, and legal in New York. History shows us that when abortion is banned, abortion becomes unsafe for women. Low-income individuals and people of color will be harmed the most.
"New York has always been a beacon for those yearning to be free. Our state will always be a safe harbor for those seeking access to abortion care. To anyone who is working to deny abortion access, our message is clear: not here, not now, not ever."
Attorney General Letitia James
“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. But make no mistake: We will not go back to the inhumane and restrictive pre-Roe era."
Speaker Carl Heastie (D-NY)
"This is a horrifying step backwards for our country, and an attack on women, their bodily autonomy and their ability to make potentially lifesaving health care decisions.
"We will continue fighting to protect women’s rights to reproductive healthcare, and for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and for all Americans."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
"Today, more than half of the American population became second-class citizens, stripped of their constitutional right to privacy and bodily autonomy, regardless of where they live.
"This ruling proves that our judicial system no longer represents the will of the American people and no longer represents logic, science, or equal justice under the law."
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)
"Today's historic Supreme Court decision is a victory for the sanctity of life, it will save countless innocent children.
House Republicans are incredibly grateful for the pro-life movement's tireless efforts for decades leading to this day to give a voice to the voiceless and protect our most vulnerable - unborn babies.
As a new mom, I know that there is nothing more extraordinary than the miracle of life. And I stand unified with my Republican colleagues in protecting and promoting the right to life."
Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-NY)
“Although the SCOTUS decision announced today will have a limited impact on New York as legislation is in place to protect reproductive rights, it has concerned many New Yorkers.
Several Supreme Court nominees when questioned had stated this is “settled law” leading to worry that other cases involving contraception and women’s health care will be revisited.” | https://www.mynbc5.com/article/new-york-politicians-surpreme-courts-abortion-rights-decision/40407058 | 2022-06-24T18:02:38Z | https://www.mynbc5.com/article/new-york-politicians-surpreme-courts-abortion-rights-decision/40407058 | true | 1 |
Paparazzi denounces Dua Lipa for uploading her photos to Instagram without permission
Singer Dua Lipawhich will offer a concert in Mexico in September as part of its Future Nostalgia Tour, was sued by photographer Robert Barberawho accuses her of posting photos of herself taken in 2018 on her Instagram account without the permission of the author.
The also model, who could repeat her role as an actress in the live action of Barbie, had already faced legal problems under the same fault, when the Integral Images agency argued in 2021 that it used an image of its collaborators where he leaves an airport wearing a hat, although it was dismissed with prejudice. This is in addition to those who claim that she allegedly plagiarized her hit ‘Levitating’ from her.
The court documents filed in the District Court of Californiain the United States, argue that the interpreter committed a copyright infringement on a snapshot in which he wore a black sweater with the word ‘heroes’ in capital letters, which he has since deleted.
“Without the permission or authorization of the plaintiff, the defendant voluntarily selected, copied, stored and displayed each of the plaintiff’s copyrighted photographs,” says the lawsuit written by attorney Craig Sanders via Billboard.
What does the plaintiff ask Dua Lipa?
According to Barbera’s defence, the British advertise your music and promote brands and business interests in your social network, so profited financially by increasing traffic, in addition to harming your potential market.
The photographer requests actual damages and return of all profits attributable to the imagean order prohibiting Lipa from infringing on any of her other jobs, in addition to bear the costs of the lawsuit.
In 2019 and 2020 the same creator unsuccessfully sued Ariana Grande to publish and in 2013 the person involved was the Canadian Justin Bieber. | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/23/paparazzi-denounces-dua-lipa-for-uploading-her-photos-to-instagram-without-permission/ | 2022-06-24T18:02:59Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/23/paparazzi-denounces-dua-lipa-for-uploading-her-photos-to-instagram-without-permission/ | false | 1 |

Kim Iversen: Biden’s TOTS FOR SHOTS rollout FAILS as parents don’t show to vaccine sites
Kim Iversen reviews the success of the Biden administration’s campaign to vaccinate babies and toddlers against COVID-19.
According to the CDC the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks.
Children who get COVID-19 can get very sick, can require treatment in a hospital, and in rare situations, can even die. After getting COVID-19, children and teens can also experience a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems. Getting eligible children vaccinated can help prevent them from getting really sick even if they do get infected and help prevent serious short- and long-term complications of COVID-19.
Vaccinating children can also keep them in school and daycare and safely participating in sports, playdates, and other group activities.
Emerging evidence indicates that people can get added protection by getting vaccinated after having been infected with COVID-19. So, even if a child has had COVID-19, they should still get vaccinated.
Serious reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in children and teens are rare. When they are reported, serious reactions most frequently occur the day after vaccination.
Rare cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) have been reported after children and teens got a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. New studies have shown the rare risk of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccination—mostly among males between the ages of 12 and 39 years—may be further reduced with a longer time between the first and second dose.
In children ages 5 through 11 years, there were 11 confirmed reports of myocarditis out of 8 million doses given of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine between November through December 2021.
In reports of myocarditis following mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination from December 2020 to August 2021external icon, the risk of myocarditis was highest following the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in adolescent and young adult males.
Reporting rates were around 70 cases per million doses in males ages 12 through 15 years and 105 cases per million doses in males ages 16 through 17 years.
Everyone ages 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 booster shot. Currently, a booster shot is not recommended for children younger than 12 years of age.
The CDC says Getting a booster enhances or restores protection against COVID-19, which may have decreased over time. People ages 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised should receive 4 total doses of COVID-19 vaccine—a primary series of 3 doses, plus, when eligible, 1 booster dose.
In March of 2022, the CDC expanded eligibility for an additional booster dose for certain individuals who may be at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. Boosters are safe, and people over the age of 50 can now get an additional booster 4 months after their prior dose to increase their protection further. This is especially important for those 65 and older and those 50 and older with underlying medical conditions that increase their risk for severe disease from COVID-19 as they are the most likely to benefit from receiving an additional booster dose at this time.
The CDC says layered prevention strategies — like staying up to date on vaccines and wearing masks — can help prevent severe illness and reduce the potential for strain on the healthcare system. Everyone ages 2 years and older should properly wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public in areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is high, regardless of vaccination status.
According to Pfizer and the CDC, potential side effects from the vaccine include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Other side effects could include tiredness, headache, muscle pain, fever, chills, and nausea. In rare cases, people have experienced serious health events after the COVID-19 vaccination. Any health problem that happens after vaccination is considered an adverse event. According to the CDC: Although the overall risks are low, if you are pregnant or were recently pregnant, you are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 compared to people who are not pregnant. CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older, and boosters for everyone ages 5 years and older if eligible.
COVID-19 vaccines available for children include:
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines
Moderna COVID-19 vaccines
Everyone should continue to follow all current prevention measures recommended by CDC and based on latest COVID-19 Community Level data.

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision allowing states to ban abortion immediately stirred alarm Friday among LGBTQ advocates, who feared that the ruling could someday allow a rollback of legal protections for gay relationships, including the right for same-sex couples to marry.
In the court's majority opinion overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Justice Samuel Alito said the decision applied only to abortion. But critics of the court's conservative majority discounted that statement.
And in a separate concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should review other precedents, including its 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage, a 2003 decision striking down laws criminalizing gay sex and a 1965 decision declaring that married couples have a right to use contraception.
“Let’s just be clear. Today is about this horrifying invasion of privacy that this court is now allowing, and when we lose one right that we have relied on and enjoyed, other rights are at risk,” said Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, who is now running as a Democrat for the Ohio House.
Abortion opponents celebrated the potential for states to ban abortion after nearly 50 years of being prevented from doing so. Some also argued that the case did not have implications beyond that, noting Alito's specific statement.
“And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right,” Alito wrote. “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”
Still, said Paul Dupont, a spokesman for the conservative anti-abortion American Principles Project, conservatives are optimistic about the potential for future victories on cultural issues, though getting more states to ban abortion is “a huge enough battle.”
“If there is a thought that this could apply elsewhere, you know, they're not going to say it here, and we're just going to have to see,” Dupont said.
Many abortion opponents insist that overturning Roe will not affect access to birth control or LGBTQ rights. Other factors could protect those rulings too: The Obergefell decision that legalized same-sex marriage was based on equal protection, and hundreds of thousands of couples have relied on it to wed, a precedent that many courts would be loath to disturb.
Still, a sharp increase in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in the U.S. and opposition to some forms of birth control from some quarters on the right have advocates concerned that those rights are vulnerable.
The court's three most liberal members argued that the majority decision “breaches a core rule-of-law principle, designed to promote constancy in the law" and “places in jeopardy” other rights.
At the White House, President Joe Biden pledged to do everything in his power to defend a woman’s right to have an abortion in states where it will be banned. He warned that the ruling could undermine rights to contraception and gay marriage: “This is an extreme and dangerous path.”
Then there is Thomas' concurring opinion, which Sarah Warbelow, legal director for the pro-LGBTQ-rights Human Rights Campaign, called an invitation for “stirring up fringe organizations, fringe politicians who want to harm the LGBTQ community.”
“There are clearly members of the court who have an outdated notion of what America looks like today and have a fantasy of returning to their painted idealism of a 1940s, 1950s America, certainly not what it really was in the 1940s and '50s,” she said. “And that is terrifying.”
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, a Democrat, called the decision “dangerous” and warned that it carves the nation into two parts. He predicted there will be “a tsunami of radical litigation and legislation aimed at further eroding rights we have taken for granted."
“Make no mistake — this is just the beginning of a systematic right-wing effort to rewrite decades of bedrock legal precedent,” he said.

(NEXSTAR) – A driver in Washington state fled the scene of an accident after getting an expensive McLaren 600LT sports car wedged underneath a guard rail earlier this week.
Trooper Robert Reyer of the Washington State Patrol shared news of the collision early on Tuesday morning on Twitter, confirming an investigation into a “hit and run” involving the 2020 luxury vehicle.
Included with Reyer’s tweet were several photos of the car, which appeared to have gotten stuck directly under a guard rail on State Road 512, near Tacoma. The car also looked to be totaled.
When asked if there were any known injuries, Trooper John Dattilo said Friday morning that the WSP could not confirm one way or the other.
“We aren’t sure on injuries since we haven’t spoken to the driver,” Trooper Dattilo told Nexstar.
WSP officials did not say whether they believed the McLaren was the only vehicle involved in the accident.
Speaking with The Oregonian earlier this week, Dattilo said these kinds of accidents — where drivers abandoned their cars because they don’t want to “get in trouble” — are very common.
“But it’s not necessarily common for it to be a $200,000 McLaren, though,” Dattilo told the outlet.
Police added that the car had dealer plates and was registered to a resident of Washington state. It was not reported stolen.
Dattilo told Nexstar that officials had yet to make contact with the driver of the McLaren as of Friday and were still working to contact the owner.
A McLaren 600LT sold for upwards of $259,000 during its 2020 model year, according to Car & Driver. McLaren, a British auto manufacturer, describes its 600LT models as “not [cars] for the faint-hearted” on its official website.

Diego Alves, the sorcerer goalkeeper who saved 3 penalties from Cristiano Ronaldo
Pararigori among the best in history, crowned by Courtois, Diego Alves is the nightmare of CR7. But he also opposed Messi and Griezmann.
Cristiano Ronaldo takes the ball in his hands and places himself on the spot. His Real Madrid are beating Valencia 1-0 and have just seen the penalty kick awarded with which he could close the score. But the air is rather tense: the opposing goalkeeper comes out of the goalposts and starts walking towards the Portuguese. He smiles, he wants to tell him something. The other Real players sense the danger and rush to prevent contact. Marcelo, who knows that character quite well, holds him by the shirt trying in every way to send him back between the posts. He smiles too, but in reality he is terrified. Because he knows he is in front of Diego Alves. Who is not a goalkeeper: he is one sorcerer.
When Ronaldo, after long and interminable minutes, takes a run and kicks, he is convinced to score. As he has often done in the course of his career, after all, and as he still happens to do. But the witch-keeper’s curse, once again, is successful: Diego Alves dives to his left with a moment of advance, senses the trajectory, cushions the shot. And then he blocks the ball later. In one of the following actions, the two find themselves near the goal, with the ball far away. And CR7 can not help but reserve an affectionate hug to the sorcerer. His nemesis.
That Real Madrid-Valencia, which for the record will finish 2-1 for Zidane’s team, will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 29, 2017. And it is the third chance out of four attempts in which Diego Alves saves a penalty kick against Cristiano Ronaldo. Like him, no one ever. The Portuguese phenomenon managed to score for him only once, in January 2015. He had already been hypnotized six years earlier, in 2009, in his first season in La Liga, when the Brazilian goalkeeper played in Almeria. And he will be again four months later, in May 2015.
Chosen by Goal

Not even a year earlier, September 2016, Diego Alves had already experienced a day as a hero. This time by opposing the Argentine Szymanowski, of Leganés. With 17 executions from the spot he was saved officially the record holder of La Liga history, overcoming a sacred monster like the former Barcelona Andoni Zubizarreta. He still is today, of course: 25 only in the Spanish league. Also counting his beginnings in Atlético Mineiro and then Flamengo, the team he has played for since 2017, and including both regular and extra time as well as the final lotteries, the total comes to 40. In 2016/17 he pardoned it you are in a single La Liga season, surpassing the main records of Pepe Reina and Manzanedo. Impressive.
“As a penalty keeper I choose him – he said in 2021 Thibaut Courtoiswhen asked to “build” the perfect goalkeeper based on the various fundamentals – He has a very high average of saves, almost 50%. I believe that in this case he is the ideal goalkeeper ”.
To those who occasionally ask him what the secret of his success is, Diego Alves replies: “It’s all a psychological warfare”. And it is true. Once, before one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s executions, the sorcerer went to the opponent and told him: “Don’t pull it to my right”. Ronaldo instead kicked him right there. And he saw it rejected. Another time she also tried it with Leo Messiwhich he had already stopped previously: “I already saved one for you, you know? Do you remember?”. True also here: in a Valencia-Barcelona of the Copa del Re, in 2012. But the Argentine did not get excited and broke the curse.
Speaking of Messi: ten years ago he might have saved a penalty, but Diego Alves is the goalkeeper most beaten by the Argentine phenomenon. 21 times in 17 comparisons, to be precise. At the beginning of 2021, in a marketing action, Leo sent the Brazilian a beer for each goal conceded: 21, in fact. Filipe Luís, teammate of Diego Alves at Flamengo, enjoyed making fun of him: “If you had played in Spain for another two years, you would have opened a bar”.
Then, of course, Messi has the same value as Jael. Because a penalty saved is a penalty saved everywhere. In 2018, the Brazilian center forward of Grêmio, regardless of the risks and dangers, took the spot during a match against Flamengo. In front of him, Diego Alves himself. Who with all the tranquility in the world came out of the poles, he took a bottle of water and started drinking. By deconcentrating the opponent, who obviously missed the execution. After the game, the sorcerer simply said: “I was thirsty”. But laughed.
The list of famous people hypnotized by Diego Alves is endless. There are Messi and Ronaldo, the greatest. But also Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa, Mario Mandzukic and Fernando Llorente, Carlos Bacca and Ivan Rakitic. The first to experience the curse on himself was Frédéric Kanouté, Sevilla, in April 2008. The Andalusians, in the running for a place in the Champions League, were overwhelmed at home 4-1 by Almeria. And at the end of the season they missed fourth place only due to the unfavorable direct clashes against Atletico Madrid.
“The penalties saved against Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the ones that have had the most media repercussions of all – Diego Alves told the site ‘abc.es’ – because they are the two strongest players of all, but for me all penalties require special attention. Then if you win better, because parrying has served a purpose. If we lose, I leave the field sad. I prefer to win a match than to save a penalty ”.
Twice in his career, Diego Alves has rejected penalties two in the same game. The last time he did it in 2019, in a Vasco da Gama-Flamengo, blocking first Yago Pikachu and then Bruno César. Three years earlier he had said no in sequence to Gabi and Griezmann, without preventing Atletico Madrid from winning 2-0 at Mestalla.
“How can I do? I watch the weekly La Liga highlights and draw my conclusions from there – Diego Alves said at the time – even there are no studies, there is nothing for sure, because at the last moment the attacker can change sides, make a Panenka, think of something different … There are a thousand ways to score a penalty. I have always said that every goalkeeper has a peculiar characteristic: I manage well to save penalties. The goal is very large and when a player kicks from the spot he has several options, but I’ve always been lucky, ever since I was a child. It is something that I naturally succeed. I have never hunted for records ”.
And to think that Diego Alves, as a child, seems to be destined to do anything but excel in sport. During his childhood in Ribeirão Preto, in the State of Sao Paulo, he was hit by one facial paralysis. To heal he takes steroids, which however have the side effect of make its weight rise exponentially.
“I came to weigh 70 kilos – he told the Brazilian portal ‘UOL’ in 2012 – I was obese. No diet, I’ve always played sports. I ran, I trained. I never stopped playing football, I liked going to goal. And at 12, with the growth, I lost weight again ”.
As soon as he gets better he is a kind of phenomenon, little Diego. With the shirt of Botafogo of Ribeirão Preto shows off to such an extent that it gets noticed byAtlético Mineiro. He made his debut in the first team in 2005, at the age of 20. It is the year of the relegation of the Galo from national Serie A to Serie B, but Danrlei and Bruno play in goal. In 2006, finally, the former third begins to find space. But no one notices his qualities: out of five penalties he doesn’t even save one. He extensively remade the following season, parrying the first penalty of his career in Sidnei, of Tupiand repeating itself against Dodô, of Botafogo.
Felipe Melo opens a door to Europe for Diego Alves. In 2007 theAlmeria finds an agreement with Atlético Mineiro, but the future goalkeeper-sorcerer niche. He will tell: “I didn’t know anything about the club”. The compatriot, who arrived there recently, calls him and convinces him. Marriage is done. Diego Alves takes the red and white goal, is beaten by the first two penalty takers but then opposes Kanouté. In February of 2008 keeps the door closed for 618 minutes, passing Iker Casillas: everyone in the stadium stands up to applaud him. These are the best years in the history of the club, which remains in Liga for four seasons in a row. Then, in 2011, relegation comes. And Diego goes to Valencia to continue to amaze.
At Mestalla there are saved penalties, sometimes in series. But also a very serious knee injury which, between 2015 and 2016, stopped him in the pits for almost a year. However, forcing him to skip the Copa América, for which he had been called up. The joys are other. The qualifiers for the groups of the Champions League, for example, or the semifinal of the Europa League in 2014. In addition of course to the hype that is being created around his name in those years. To win something, however, Diego Alves must return to his homeland. Also because over time Valencia begins to consider him bulky, a burden in the locker room.
The Flamengo he takes it in 2017, but 2019 is the year of grace: in exactly 24 hours the Copa Libertadores, that of Gabigol’s brace at River Plate, and Brasileirão rained down in Rio. His sorceries also work in Rio de Janeiro: against Emelec in the second round of that Copa, for example. Or in the aforementioned classic with Vasco, that of the two saved penalties. At 37 he struggles to make a comeback after the farewell of Paulo Sousa, who had put him aside to make room for the younger Hugo Souza. But the best years are behind us. Perhaps because a nemesis like Ronaldo, to be countered and hypnotized over and over again, is gone. | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/24/diego-alves-the-sorcerer-goalkeeper-who-saved-3-penalties-from-cristiano-ronaldo/ | 2022-06-24T18:22:16Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/24/diego-alves-the-sorcerer-goalkeeper-who-saved-3-penalties-from-cristiano-ronaldo/ | false | 1 |
'Pitch Perfect' Fans Are Attacking Rebel Wilson’s Bikini Instagram With Fire Emojis
In case you're wondering what Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson is up to, she's enjoying life in paradise. In between announcing her new relationship with girlfriend Ramona Agruma and promoting her Netflix film Senior Year, it's impossible to believe she has any downtime. While she has been relaxing on vacation, her followers couldn't help but obsess over keen fashion sense.
Earlier this month, on June 16, the Bridesmaids comedienne took a second to post on Instagram from her European getaway, looking absolutely beautiful under the sun. Posing against the backdrop of a pristine blue ocean, Rebel paid homage to the 1960s with an orange three-piece bikini, white shades and blond wavy hair.
"☀️ 💗☀️," she captioned her pic.
Given how she's been super active lately, it's nice to see Rebel take a breather for herself while lounging on a boat. And we get it — she's been jet-setting to Italy with Ramona, swimming in Iceland and attending numerous public events. She also got the chance to meet and take a snap with Prince Harry during a recent Santa Barbara polo match! If that doesn't scream a more inclusive social life, then we don't know what does.
Reacting to Rebel's stunning bikini Instagram, fans and celebrity friends alike headed over to her comments section to let her know just how much they loved her look.
"💕💕💕💕💕💕," Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton wrote. "Beauty!!" commented actress Melanie Griffith. "Hellooooo 🔥🔥🔥," her Pitch Perfect co-star Brittany Snow added.
"You look amazing Rebel! What I love the most though is how confident and comfortable with yourself you look! Thank you so much for sharing x," wrote one fan.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia determined to start new period of cooperation - statement
ISTANBUL, June 22 (Reuters) - Turkey and Saudi Arabia emphasized determination on a new period of cooperation in bilateral relations during talks in Ankara, as the two countries aim to fully normalise ties that were ruptured after the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
In a joint statement following the talks between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country's de facto ruler, and Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan, the two countries said they discussed improving relations and investment in sectors from energy to defence among others.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 24 (UPI) -- Europe's growing need for gas caused by Russia's war on Ukraine is increasing interest in speeding exploration and drilling of gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea -- and pushing Lebanon and Israel to try settle their years-long maritime border dispute.
The arrival of a floating gas exploration ship, operated by London-based Energean, to the Karish field off the Mediterranean coast earlier this month has revived the dispute and raised tension between the two countries, which are still in a state of war.
The Karish field, which contains 1.4 trillion cubic feet of proved and probable gas reserves, is located south of the southern boundary of the disputed area.
The rising tension prompted the Lebanese government to call for stopping Israel's exploration efforts and to ask Amos Hochstein, an American who has been mediating indirect talks since 2020, to intervene.
In a recent turn of events, Lebanon presented a new "more realistic" offer to Hochstein, a senior adviser for energy security at the U.S. State Department, during his visit to Beirut last week, an official source told UPI on the condition of anonymity.
"It is clear that it [demands] more than Line 23 and backed away from Line 29, which it considered as the negotiation line," said the source, who has been involved in the negotiations for years.
Last year, the Lebanese delegation to the talks, made up of Army generals and experts, presented a new map that would add 550 square miles (referred to as line 29) to the disputed 330 square mile area (referred to as line 23) of the Mediterranean Sea that each side claims is within their own exclusive economic zones. The negotiations stopped while Lebanon never officially claimed Line 29, which would give it part of the Karish field.
Debt-stricken Lebanon, which hopes to enter the club of oil producers, has wasted almost a decade adopting different delimitation methods and negotiation tactics. Israel, meanwhile, has developed offshore natural gas rigs and started exploration activity outside the disputed area, which is potentially rich in oil and gas and that both countries claim.
Lebanon, the source said, is waiting for Hochstein to come back with Israel's reply to its new proposal, which would give the Karish field to Israel and the Qana field to Lebanon.
He emphasized that his country "will never accept, not now nor tomorrow nor next week, that Israel keeps on drilling in an area that they allegedly claim is outside the disputed zone while we cannot do the same in our own area," the Qana field.
A consortium of international companies, Total, ENI and Novatek, were awarded the right to explore in 2018 with the aim to find natural gas, but "have been pressured not to start drilling" in the Qana field, according to the source.
He, however, noted that Hochstein confirmed Israel's gas-drilling rig, stationed in the Karish gas field, is located in Israeli territory and will not pump gas from the disputed area.
That might have, at least temporarily, defused tension that reached "a dangerous level," with Lebanon's heavily armed Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel exchanging threats over Karish gas drilling, according to the source.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned that it will not allow Israel to extract gas from the field until negotiations with Lebanon are completed. Israeli Army Chief Aviv Kochavi threatened to respond with "overwhelming force" in any next war with Hezbollah.
It is yet to be seen whether Lebanon's new compromise would open the door for resuming the negotiations and averting confrontation.
But backing away from Line 29 has angered opposition politicians, energy experts and activists in Lebanon.
"Whatever the Lebanese part has proposed to Hochstein, it is not linked in any way possible to a technical or legal basis. We are no longer talking about technical matters, law of the sea or international laws. I don't know what this could be called," Marc Ayoub, an energy researcher affiliated with the American University of Beirut's Issam Fares Institute, told UPI.
Ayoub argued that by getting behind Line 29, Lebanon "has started from a position which is weak because Line 23 has a lots of defaults." It also raised questions about "a political compromise" and what is the "political price for that."
He explained that while the Karish field has been in operation since 2013 and the Qana field not yet explored, "you are comparing a field that will be producing in three months' time to a field that is still prospective."
"We don't know what Qana includes until we drill. There are speculations that it could contain some high prospects of oil and gas. But we don't know how much and whether it will succeed or not," Ayoub said. "We need three to five years to know if there is gas and oil and how much.. and this if they allow the international companies to drill" in Lebanese waters.
By then, Lebanon will be missing great opportunities to join the many gas deals underway in the region accentuated by the Ukraine war and Europe's needs for gas supplies.
In fact, it won't be in Israel's interest to reject Lebanon's offer if it wants to develop Karish and increase its gas production. Earlier this month, Israel, Egypt and the European Union signed a memorandum of understanding to export Israel's natural gas to EU countries, which are trying to reduce dependence on the supply from Russia.
"They [EU officials] are looking for the fields that are already explored and here we are talking about Israel and Egypt," Ayoub said, arguing that pressures are being exerted on Lebanon "for the sake of Israel because no company will start working in Karish without security guarantees and a maritime demarcation line."
With Lebanon's collapsing situation and acute financial crisis, he said, the message is clear: "You will not produce gas unless we say when, with whom and how... One can be weak but can negotiate from a strong position, preserving the minimum of national dignity."
A Beirut-based Western diplomat argued that Israel needs an agreement as much as the Lebanese, saying, "There is an open door."
But would Hezbollah, which previously stated that it will agree on any demarcation line adopted by the Lebanese government, accept such a compromise?
"Let's say it gives Hezbollah an exit strategy to avoid having to resort to options that could spark a war," Riad Kahwaji, a Dubai-based Middle East security and defense analyst who heads the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, told UPI.
Kahwaji said Israel is focusing on Iran and is sending clear messages to Hezbollah and Lebanon of adverse consequences if Hezbollah decides to step in to back Iran militarily in case of an Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities or its arms depots in Syria.
"All these threats, although in a way are linked to the gas field-border dispute between Lebanon and Israel, it is not the whole story, it is part of the story," he said.
It is clear, he added, that Hezbollah does not want to provoke a war as it "allowed the Lebanese government, which everybody knows it has a strong influence over it and over the president, to show flexibility and make concessions to the Israelis to try to de-escalate."
Regardless of how the border issue in Lebanon is resolved, Kahwaji said Hezbollah is trying "to delay the inevitable" as much as possible because "it is always hopeful" there could be a nuclear deal reached by Iran, the United States and the Europeans that will prevent any attack from Israel. | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/24/lebanon-Lebanon-Israel-Mediterranean-gas-fields-border-dispute/9331656091466/ | 2022-06-24T18:31:00Z | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/24/lebanon-Lebanon-Israel-Mediterranean-gas-fields-border-dispute/9331656091466/ | true | 2 |
Hero dog dies after protecting children from mountain lion attack
DENVER, Colo. (KCNC) – A dog in Colorado sacrificed her life to keep her family safe from a mountain lion.
“Any time the kids were outside, she was five steps behind them,” said Virginia Havens, the dog’s owner. “They would play in the sandbox, she was keeping watch everywhere, all the time.”
Havens says Lady, a Chihuahua/pit bull mix, was a classic nanny dog and was by her four children when a mountain lion crept up behind them.
“Lady was posturing for defense and she took off the opposite direction here just to circle back to get momentum for her charge,” Havens explained.
The tiny pup took on a fully grown, 6-foot mountain lion.
“The mountain lion had her head in his jaws, and she was doing her best to, you know, get out of the hold. I heard her crying out, which made me more frantic because she was my fur baby,” Havens said.
Havens called police, who shot at the cat with non-lethal rounds, allowing Lady to get away.
“When she got to the door I screamed. She was just a bloody mess. Her eye was bulging, she had labored breathing and a hole in her skull,” Havens recalled.
They rushed her to an animal hospital, but Lady was too badly injured.
“She was absolutely our hero,” Havens said.

Wade on Friday, leaving abortion rights up to the states to decide. At least 13 states in the country have so-called "trigger laws" banning most abortions that will take effect immediately or within weeks of Roe v. Wade being overturned. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights research group, those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming, which just passed its trigger law in April. | https://www.legitgov.org/more-2-dozen-states-restrict-abortions-after-roe-v-wade-overturned-dobbs-decision | 2022-06-24T18:32:21Z | https://www.legitgov.org/more-2-dozen-states-restrict-abortions-after-roe-v-wade-overturned-dobbs-decision | true | null |
AFC Leopards to get Ksh60m per FKF Premier League season from Spotika
Football Kenya Federation Premier League side AFC Leopards will earn Ksh60 million per season from their new sponsor, Spotika.
Leopards secured the betting firm as their new partner after Betsafe – with whom they had signed a sponsorship deal for three years only to be terminated with one year to go – exited before last season was concluded.
"Basically, our key concern is to ensure we create a conducive atmosphere for our players by promptly paying their salaries and allowances," Dan Shikanda, the AFC Leopards chairman, said, as quoted by The Star when they unveiled Spotika.
Editors' Picks
"We've witnessed a mass exodus of star players in recent years, and this deal will most certainly prevent such situations in the future."
The unveiling was attended by high-profile government officials, including Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and Director of Immigration Alex Muteshi.
On his part, Ingwe’s assistant head coach, Tom Juma, welcomed Spotika’s arrival and revealed that even their traditional rivals, Gor Mahia, will soon unveil a new sponsor.
"This is definitely very good news. We are now certain of a good performance next season given our title contention in the preceding season was watered down by financial difficulties," Juma stated.
"I believe with such sponsorship, the community clubs will get back on their feet. I'm told Gor Mahia will also be unveiling their sponsors in the coming days, and that means we shall be having a very competitive league next season, especially between the two arch-rivals.
"The league was crippled by the absence of sponsors, something that led to Mathare United's downfall towards the end of the season. We hope that more sponsors will come on board to rescue the community clubs that have endured tough times, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic."
GOAL understands that Gor Mahia are in talks with BetAfriQ, a sister company to Spotika, over a possible partnership.
Betsafe sponsored both Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards since 2020, but the company terminated the sponsorship deal in 2022, throwing the two local giants into financial turmoil.

Industry Dynamics:
Cannabis Testing Market: Growth Drivers
- The market is fostering with medical cannabis legalization and increasing cannabis testing labs.
Medical cannabis has shown to be helpful in a number of medical uses, including lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients, managing muscular spasms in multiple sclerosis patients, boosting appetite in AIDS patients, and minimizing chemotherapy-induced nausea. Medical cannabis is legal in a number of countries due to its health benefits. Italy, Brazil, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, North Korea, Canada, and Australia have all approved it in the last few years. Furthermore, 25 states in the United States legalized medical cannabis, with four states-Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado legalizing cannabis for use for both recreational and medical purposes. Thus, with the rising legalization of cannabis, an increase in adoption of its testing is been witnessed which in turn is fostering the growth of the global cannabis testing market. In addition to this, the increasing number of cultivators and the growing necessity for the safety & efficacy of cannabis products are also some of the key factors that are fueling the market growth.
Cannabis Testing Market: Restraints
- The cannabis testing market may be hampered by a lack of universal testing standards.
For delivering a precise and accurate dose of cannabis for medical purposes, certain standards of quality control and regulation are essential. There is, however, a lack of consistency in quality standards among countries. For example, different states in the United States have varied rules and variances governing medical and adult-use cannabis. Various states have different possession limits. The wide range of legislation governing the use of medical cannabis presents a considerable problem for testing laboratories when assessing the quality of these products. Such disparities between states in the United States and between European countries may stymie business growth.

Global Cannabis Testing Market: Opportunities
- Growing necessity of heavy metal testing for cannabis is likely to drive the market during the forecast period.
Besides pesticides, microbiological organisms, and residual solvents, heavy metals are one of the most common pollutants detected in cannabis and its derivatives. Furthermore, heavy metals are highly poisonous and can cause poisoning and other issues when exposed. As a result, heavy metal testing for cannabis and its derivatives is becoming extremely prevalent. Several government agencies have made heavy metal testing for cannabis products mandatory. All such factors coupled with the use of advanced instruments like HPLC techniques are likely to generate ample opportunities for the growth of the global cannabis testing market during the forecast period.
Global Cannabis Testing Market: Challenges
- High cost associated with the set-up of cannabis testing laboratories acts as a major challenge for the market.
One of the most critical challenges in this market is the high startup expenses for cannabis testing laboratories. These labs must invest a large amount of money in order to purchase and maintain expensive, modern analytical equipment. Accreditations & certifications such as ISO certification processes, software requirements, standardization & upgrades of equipment, and the need for qualified experts all add to the operating costs. Also, because of the ambiguity in the cannabis testing market, many banks refuse to fund or provide any other type of support to these laboratories. Furthermore, several governments are working on a plan to impose taxes on cannabis testing labs. Thus, the high cost associated with the set-up of cannabis testing laboratories poses a major challenge for the market growth.
Global Cannabis Testing Market: Segmentation
- The global cannabis testing market is divided based on technology, test type, and region.
Based on the technology, the global market is split into spectroscopy and chromatography. By test type, the market is categorized into mycotoxin testing, terpene testing, heavy metal testing, residual solvent screening, pesticide screening, and potency testing.

India's arrangements for crude oil procurement well understood, says foreign secretary
At the media briefing Vinay Mohan Kwatra informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Germany for the G7 Summit on 26-27 June and will also travel to UAE on his return to India
New Delhi: India's trading arrangements for crude oil procurement are determined purely on national energy security consideration, Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said on Friday.
At a media briefing here today ahead of PM Modi's visit to Germany for the G7 Summit, the foreign secretary when asked what India's approach will be if it faces flak for its procurement of Russian crude oil at the summit, said that India's consideration for crude oil purchases is appreciated across the countries.
"Whatever are the trading arrangements that India puts in place with regard to the purchase of crude oil all over the world is determined purely from the consideration of energy security of India. India's consideration for crude oil purchases very well understood. It is appreciated across the countries. I don't see that as any point of assuming any pressure," the foreign secretary said.
Modi will visit Germany for the G7 Summit on 26-27 June and will also travel to UAE on his return to India. At the invitation of the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the prime minister will be travelling to Schloss on the midnight of 25 June, he said.
Modi will hold bilateral meetings and discussions with the leaders of G7 as also the guest countries on the sidelines of the G7 Summit.

In an effort to strengthen international collaboration on these important issues, other democracies such as Argentina, Indonesia, Senegal and South Africa have also been invited.
From Germany, Modi will travel to the United Arab Emirates on 28 June.
Responding to a query on whether the row over the Prophet remark could crop up during Modi's visit to UAE, the foreign secretary at the said that Gulf nations have a clear understanding on New Delhi's position and he does not think there will be any further talk on this matter.
"Gulf nations have a clear understanding over India's position and situation, and we have clarified it on various occasions. I do not think there will be any further talk on this," Kwatra said in the media briefing.
"This will be PM's first meeting at the same time with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan since his election as the new President of the UAE and the Ruler of Abu Dhabi," the foreign secretary said.

Here's Everything to Know About the New USA Series Snake in the Grass (Including the Reality Stars in the Cast)
New reality TV series Snake in the Grass is on its way to push people to their physical—and paranoid—limits. Coined a “survival of the sneakiest,” each week will see a group of players tough it out in the Costa Rican jungle, take part in challenges, and most importantly, try to sniff out which one of them is a saboteur intent on tanking all of their games.
Here’s everything you need to know about Snake in the Grass, from the premiere date to how the game works to some of the famous faces that will be appearing on episodes.
When does Snake in the Grass premiere?
Snake in the Grass premieres Monday, August 1 at 11 p.m. ET/PT following WWE Monday Night RAW.
How does Snake in the Grass work?
According to a press release from USA, “the players will compete in a series of grueling and mind-twisting challenges, from retrieving game pieces suspended on high wires over a 500-foot canyon, to scaling the face of a cliff to solve puzzles. With each successfully completed challenge, the competitors win a clue that helps reveal the identity of the Snake. Not wanting their identity revealed, the Snake will do whatever it takes to prevent the players from winning the clues by sabotaging their journey any chance they get.
After overnighting in the remote and rugged Central American jungle, the group will meet in ‘the Snake Pit’ where they must determine who they think the saboteur might be. If the three players can successfully reveal the identity, they will win the $100,000. If they get it wrong, the Snake walks away with all the money for themselves.”
Reality TV fans may see similarities between Snake in the Grass and the series The Mole, which ran on ABC in spurts from 2001 to 2008. Both shows have some sort of saboteur element to them. Though while The Mole had the same group of players going through the entire season, Snake in the Grass will feature a new group every episode.
Who is in the Snake in the Grass cast?
The cast of Snake in the Grass was revealed in June 2022. As mentioned above, each episode will feature four of the below players taking part. The cast includes some notable names who have previously cut their teeth on shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and Naked and Afraid.

Tottenham report: Spurs in talks with Barcelona over deal for defender
By Tom Hancock published
Clement Lenglet could be about to swap the Camp Nou for North London
Tottenham (opens in new tab) are continuing to work on a loan deal for Barcelona (opens in new tab) centre-back Clement Lenglet, according to reports.
Lenglet has slipped down the pecking order under Xavi and could be on his way out of the Camp Nou this summer.
And, per ESPN (opens in new tab), Barca are hoping to persuade Spurs to take the France international off their hands.
The report adds that while Barca would prefer to sell, they are open to a loan deal given that Spurs are prepared to cover a significant chunk of the 27-year-old's wages.
This is Antonio Conte's first summer transfer window as Spurs boss, and adding a left-footed centre-back is thought to be a priority for the Itallian.
That said, Ben Davies has enjoyed something of a resurgence since Conte took charge; Lenglet would not necessarily walk straight into the starting 11.
Marseille (opens in new tab) have also been linked with a move for Lenglet, who won't think twice about leaving Barca if deemed surplus to requirements - according to his former France U21 coach, that is.
Speaking earlier this week, Pierre Mankowski said (opens in new tab): "If he realises that the door is closed at [Barcelona], he will not hesitate to change to go to a lower category club."
However, Mankowski added that he felt Lenglet would struggle with the pace and physicality of the Premier League.
Still, Spurs appear keen, and Lenglet could be the next new face through the door in what has been a fairly busy summer so far at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, with Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster all arriving.

20 million views and counting: Moosewala’s posthumous song becomes a rage online
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s posthumously released song SYL garnered nearly 20 million views and 2.5 million likes on his YouTube page within hours apart from being widely shared on Instagram and other social media platforms.
Over 1.2 million user comments were posted on the YouTube page alone as fans paid emotional tributes to the slain musician whose latest work sparked intense conversations over the politically charged nature of the song. The title SYL refers to the Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal and the lyrics warn that Punjab will not share its river waters if the injustices meted out to it are not stopped, bringing up years of militancy in the state that led to widespread fear and social tumult.
The song, leaked on social media a day earlier, was officially uploaded at 6pm Thursday on YouTube and its teaser on Instagram received more than 8 million views; the musician’s account has 10.6 million followers on Instagram, over 3 million of those added after his murder on May 29.
Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, who went by the stage name Sidhu Moosewala, sings about the politically complex four-decade-old issue of the construction of the SYL canal. Visuals accompanying the song showcase events Punjab has witnessed since 1947. Apart from the SYL dispute with neighbouring Haryana, the song talks about the post-Independence undivided Punjab, the issue of states’ sovereignty under a federal system, the 1984 riots, the incident of the Sikh flag being hoisted at the Red Fort during the farmers’ agitation, and calls for the release of Sikhs taken political prisoners. It ends with the message: “Each one of you is the last hope for protecting Punjab’s river waters to prevent the state from turning into a desert.”
Moosewala, no stranger to controversy in his lifetime, opens SYL on a controversial note with a statement by Aam Adami Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha member Sushil Gupta after his party formed the government in Punjab: “Now we have a government in Punjab. In 2024, the AAP will form the government in Haryana, too. In 2025, water will reach every farm in Haryana. This is not our promise but our guarantee.”
The song features excerpts from a statement by Meghalaya governor Satya Pal Malik on the farm laws: “Indira Gandhi knew that she would be killed and she was. They killed former army chief General AS Vaidya in Pune and Dwyer (Sir Michael O’Dwyer, the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab in whose tenure the Jallianwala Bagh massacre happened) in London. I have said that don’t test the patience of the Sikhs.”
The song appears to glorify Sikh militant Balwinder Singh Jattana, who killed two officials at the SYL head office at Chandigarh in 1990. The visuals also feature images of militant leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and army movement during Operation Bluestar. Jattana, who was associated with pro-Khalistan outfit Babbar Khalsa, along with three accomplices killed the officials preparing plans for the construction of the canal. Their action halted the construction of the canal and it has still not resumed.
Jattana was also suspected to be involved in a bomb attack on former Punjab DGP Sumedh Singh Saini in August 1991. Four family members of Jattana were allegedly killed by Punjab Police officer Ajit Singh Puhla on August 29, 1991. Jattana was killed in an encounter by Punjab Police on September 7 that year.
Moosewala demands that Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana be merged with Punjab.
Haryana and the Union territory of Chandigarh were carved out of Punjab in 1966 and most of the hilly areas included in Himachal Pradesh.
Earlier, Moosewala’s family appealed to music producers not to share or release any of the singer’s unfinished tracks with anyone except his father Balkaur Singh. During a prayer meeting in Mansa earlier this month, Balkaur Singh said he would keep the musician alive through his songs for six-seven years.
Moosewala was shot dead on May 29 at Jawahar Ke village in Punjab’s Mansa a day after the state government curtailed his security cover.
According to his family, Moosewala completed the audio recording of SYL and the video shoot conceptualisation was in progress when he was killed. He was scheduled to visit Canada for concerts this summer and the plan was to release the SYL song just before that during the Sangrur bypoll, which was held on Thursday.
Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has been named as the prime suspect in the murder case, which has been ruled as a result of an inter-gang rivalry. Soon after the murder, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar took responsibility for the killing, saying it was revenge for the murder of Vicky Middukhera, who was a close friend of the Bishnoi gang.
Punjab police have said that a total of 13 accused have been arrested in the murder case so far, including two main shooters Priyavrat Fauji (26) and Kashish (24), arrested by Delhi police on June 20. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/20-million-views-and-counting-moosewala-s-posthumous-song-becomes-a-rage-online-101656094888544.html | 2022-06-24T18:49:23Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/20-million-views-and-counting-moosewala-s-posthumous-song-becomes-a-rage-online-101656094888544.html | false | 2 |

Biden Points and Says 'That Guy' Is the CDC Director, But There's One Major Problem
Just days after falling off his bike after coming to a complete stop, President Joe Biden fired up the gaffe machine once again on Tuesday.
According to CNN, Biden visited a vaccination clinic in Washington, D.C. to celebrate vaccines becoming available for children under 5. This, in and of itself, was arguably a mistake.
Children under 5 are at the lowest risk of major health problems relating to COVID-19, so vaccinating them is not necessary in most cases.
Furthermore, given the myriad of side effects vaccines have shown, many people feel it is not worth the risk to vaccinate children who are not at high risk from COVID-19.
During the event, Biden bragged that the United States was “the only country in the world doing this right now.”
This would seem to beg the question, “Why have other countries decided not to vaccinate young children?” Nonetheless, Biden continued to brag about the development.
Sadly, touting vaccines for young children without addressing the possible risks was not the worst gaffe Biden made on Tuesday.
While speaking to a group of parents and children at the clinic, Biden tried to identify Dr. Ashish Jha, who serves as the Biden administration’s COVID response coordinator.
“”You see Dr. Jha, see that guy right there?” Biden said. “He’s the guy that’s running the CDC for me these days, basically.”

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 21, 2022
The current director of the CDC is Rochelle Walensky, according to its official website. In saying that Jha is “running” the CDC, Biden made one of two mistakes, neither of which inspire confidence.
The first possibility is that Biden does not know who his CDC director is. This may seem outlandish, but given Biden’s propensity to misidentify seemingly obvious people, it very well may be the case.
The second option is that Biden said the quiet part out loud and admitted Jha is making decisions for the entire CDC, despite not being in a position to do so.
The CDC is supposed to inform Americans about all diseases and public health threats, not just COVID-19.
While Jha was appointed by Biden to oversee one disease, the CDC director is supposed to oversee the broader issue of public health in America.
If Biden meant what he said about Jha running the CDC, he would be admitting that he has allowed the response coordinator for one disease to make decisions for the CDC as a whole.
This would be grossly inappropriate, but Biden’s history of attempting to use COVID-19 as a political tool suggests it is possible.
In either case, Biden had a major slip-up on Tuesday, and moments like that one are becoming all too common.

American Academy of Pediatrics updates safe sleep guidelines for babies
(CNN) - About 3,500 babies die in sleep-related incidents each year in the U.S., but many of those deaths can be prevented.
For the first time in six years, the American Academy of Pediatrics has put out updated guidelines to help babies sleep safely.
“There are lots of factors that play into the dangers,” Dr. Michael Goodstein, a member of the AAP task force on sudden infant death syndrome, said.
The AAP said co-sleeping under any circumstances is not safe for infant sleep, whether that’s on the couch or in a bed.
“We recognize that sometimes you may unintentionally fall asleep with the baby,” Goodstein said. “So, I recommend that parents create kind of a safe sleep zone in the bed when they do this feeding, to move away from the pillows, the loose bedding, things that could create that added risk.”
Parents can also set alarms to help remind them to take their child back to the crib.
The AAP said babies should sleep in the same room with their parents for at least six months, separately on a firm flat surface, covered in a snug, fitted sheet, with no added bedding or bumpers.
“You want to avoid anything that’s soft, plush or loose,” Goodstein said. “Babies start to move around, we don’t want things getting up over their heads. We don’t want overheating. We don’t want things to obstruct the nose and mouth that increase the risk of suffocation.”
The AAP also warned against the use of commercial devices that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS or other sleep-related issues, including wearable monitors.
New consumer product safety commission regulations will ban all products marketed for infant sleep that have more than a 10% incline.
The AAP said keeping babies at a large incline for long periods of time can be dangerous because babies’ heads can fall forward during sleep which puts them at risk for suffocation.

The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill on gun safety 234 to 193 on Friday, exactly one month after a mass shooting in Texas took the lives of 19 children and 2 adults.
The Senate passed its version of the bill late on Thursday night by a 65-33 vote, and it now goes to President Joe Biden to sign into law. It is the first gun control measure to come out of Congress in nearly three decades.
The narrow bill focuses on mental health and school safety, and includes incentives for states to pass "red-flag laws."
The legislation resulted from negotiations among 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats that began after two mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas, in May.
"This bill is a compromise," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who led the negotiations, right before the Senate vote began. "It doesn't do everything I want. But what we are doing will save thousands of lives without violating anyone's Second Amendment rights."
The Senate begins its two-week July 4 recess after Friday.

The Jan. 6 committee is extending its public hearings into July, after receiving additional evidence relevant to its investigation. This evidence includes hours of footage of former President Donald and his associates, filmed by a British documentarian.
In a 6 to 3 decision, the Supreme Court voted to strike down Roe v. Wade this week. In the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

KIM Kardashian has been slammed once again by fans for letting her kids behave badly.
On a work trip to New York this week, the mom-of-four was accompanied by her sons, Saint, six, and Psalm, three.
On the way to the Tonight Show studios, Saint was seen screaming “Hi weirdos” and “If you’re watching this, I hate you!” during an Instagram Live which Kim shared on her profile.
Later, during an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Saint and Psalm, who were sat in the audience with Kim’s friend, interrupted filming.
It caused Kim to ask them to stop, reminding them that they were at work with mom and needed to behave.
Fans were quick to pull Kim up on her parenting, with many stating she should have a better grip on her kids and their behaviour, or claiming the kids have no manners and are spoiled.
Kim reportedly chooses to follow the Koala method of parenting, a parenting style that promotes a close attachment between parents and their children.
The method's supporters believe children will feel more secure and be more independent as they get older as a result of this.
It may explain both why Kim had her kids alongside her – if they didn’t want to be away from mom - and it may also explain their obnoxious behaviour.
Obnoxious behavior often stems from children having a problem dealing with others - so perhaps they have a hard time with authority, or they are feeling anxious or insecure.
Most read in Lifestyle
It’s important to remember though, this doesn’t excuse the behavior.
Whether a child is obnoxious occasionally or all the time, it is the parent’s job to teach and guide them by setting boundaries and challenge any inappropriate behavior, which Kim did on the night in question.
She was likely quite embarrassed by her kid’s behavior; nobody likes their children being obnoxious, particularly in public, but most kids will experiment with obnoxious behavior at some point.
And if Kim wants to avoid any more public displays of unruly behavior, there are a few things that she can work on to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
WHAT CAN KIM DO?
Teaching her kids’ empathy, so they understand the impact of their behavior on others, and having a good talk about how they should behave before entering any public settings are both good starting points.
Also reminding them a better way to respond if they are feeling a little anxious, and then letting them know what the consequences will be should they choose not to behave appropriately.
Kim’s younger son, Psalm, is only three and shouldn’t be expected to behave as his older siblings.
Kim may want to consider whether taking him to a talk show, where he was expected to sit quietly, was the right decision.
Her work schedule is a busy one, so being a koala mom may be trickier the more work she takes on.
Making sure the kids get plenty of mom time when she is not working will help the kids feel more secure.
Kids often act up as a means of getting attention, so making sure any good behavior is recognized can be helpful.
Equally, ignoring certain obnoxious behaviors – such as making loud noises repeatedly - can halt negative attention-seeking.
Kim was right to call out her kid’s behavior as it happened but could have perhaps done so privately.
Doing it so publicly could have caused embarrassment to the kids and, if they were acting out because they felt anxious, this could make things worse.
In this situation, it was the responsibility of the person caring for the kids (Kim’s friend) to manage.
Like managing any behavior, it is important to understand why kids are acting the way they are.
But there also needs to be clear boundaries in place and manageable, fair consequences for overstepping them.
The biggest key for ensuring that kids respect boundaries? Be consistent.
No moving the goal posts and follow through on the consequences – don't make empty threats.

PAIGE VANZANT is fuelled by her past failure as she gears up for a huge bout in London this summer.
The former UFC star posted a video of her latest gym workout online in preparation for her fight.
VanZant is set to feature on BKFC's card at Wembley Arena in August against a yet unnamed opponent.
The fight was supposed to be on July 9 but has been pushed back to August 20.
After losing her first two fights, it's a must-win bout for Paige in London next month.
And she showed her followers on Friday that she's still hard at work in the gym.
Paige posted a video of her latest workouts as she continued her training camp.
She added the caption: "Failure gave me strength. Pain was my motivation. Coming back for more."
Paige has recently been delighting fans with a series of glamorous snaps on social media.
Earlier this week, she treated her followers to more wild photos, this time from in the jungle.

Paige posted three images of her posing next to a tree while wearing a revealing leopard print swimsuit.
She added the caption: "Find me where the wild things are."
Recently she left very little to the imagination in a blue bikini with mushroom symbols on the top.
And she posted a hilarious caption to go with the new photo, which read: "If psychedelic mushrooms can grow from s**t, so can you."
Last month she joined forces with model Airwrecka for a sultry tag-team photoshoot. | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/5634060/paige-vanzant-bare-knuckle-gym-workout/ | 2022-06-24T19:04:03Z | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/5634060/paige-vanzant-bare-knuckle-gym-workout/ | true | 2 |
Mary Kay Inc. Partners With the Society of Investigative Dermatology (SID) to Award Educational Grants to Academic Research Fellows for Advancement in Research to Promote Skin Health
Mary Kay Inc., a global leader in skincare innovation, recently sponsored and revealed its inaugural Mary Kay Skin Health/Skin Disease Research Grants awardees for researchers conducting groundbreaking, innovative studies in skin health and skin disease at the 2022 Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220623005229/en/
“As a decades-long leader in global cosmetics and skincare innovation, Mary Kay remains committed to enriching women’s lives across the world,” said Dr. Lucy Gildea, Mary Kay’s Chief Innovation Officer, Product and Science, at the event. “We also have a steadfast commitment to producing the highest quality products and conducting breakthrough skin science research. We recognize collaboration is crucial to new discoveries, and partnerships with scientific, medical, and academic communities are vital collaborations—which is why we’re thrilled to award these scientific grants.”
The Mary Kay Skin Health/Skin Disease Research Grants were announced at last year’s meeting in partnership with SID. The $25,000 grants were to be awarded to four researchers conducting incredible work in skin research to uncover new perspectives and invention strategies. In the months following the 2021 SID meeting, the company received applications from scientists across the country.
The four grant awardees ultimately selected were:
- Dr. Allison C. Billi, MD, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor in the Dept of Dermatology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Billi’s primary research goal is to understand “what drives photoaging.” The grant will fund research to identify targetable pathways that help prevent or potentially reverse the effects of photoaging.
- Dr. Angel S. Byrd, MD, Ph.D. and Assistant Professor at Howard University College of Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor at JHUSOM (Departments of Dermatology). Dr. Byrd’s work focuses on the genetic basis of melasma. This grant will fund research to help discover unknown genetic causes of melasma to design personalized treatment options.
- Dr. Mae Alexandra Carpenter, Ph.D. Trainee at Wright State University. Dr. Carpenter’s work explores how damaged DNA-containing particles are released and how they activate inflammatory pathways. Funding this research will help develop new therapeutic approaches to reduce UVB photosensitivity in autoinflammatory diseases.
- Dr. Jennifer Powers, MD and Clinical Associate Professor in the Dept of Dermatology at the University of Iowa. Dr. Powers is interested in the influence of the microbiome and the healing environment on wound healing and scar formation. Funding for this research will help understand how the immune system and microbiota interact to modify scar formation from ulcers and surgical wounds.
“Congratulations to each of our 2022 grant award recipients,” added Dr. Gildea. “These individuals were carefully chosen in collaboration with the Society for Investigative Dermatology—and we are thrilled to support their research.”
The sponsorship and grants revealed at SID are just the latest efforts by Mary Kay to reinforce the company’s long-standing commitment to advancing skin health research and development. Mary Kay holds more than 1,600 patents for products, technologies, and packaging designs in its global portfolio. | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/kYbe97Xb6gJqAWpG | 2022-06-24T19:08:08Z | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/kYbe97Xb6gJqAWpG | true | 1 |
NPR’s Sarah McCammon joins Here & Now‘s Celeste Headlee to discuss the implications of the Supreme Court ruling Friday that struck down nearly 50 years of a constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

Nora Aunor, BTS & Paul McCartney make headlines
Bring out the laurel wreath. Nora Aunor, the Superstar is now a National Artist in the category of Film and Broadcast Arts. She is the first actress and big motion picture and television star to be conferred the honor. This is like bridging that huge gap between phenomenal success and exalted artistry. She did it and I cannot think of anyone more deserving. Can you?
Every time something like this happens to Aunor, I cannot help but think about her singing career. Before Himala and The Flor Contemplacion Story and Minsan May Isang Gamo-gamo and all those acclaimed films happened, there was Nora Aunor, the singer. The puny 14-year-old girl from Bicol came to Manila riding on her extraordinary singing voice.
That was how she started. She was a contesera in the barrio entablados in the province. Then, she joined the Tawag ng Tanghalan, a nationwide amateur singing contest on television and emerged Grand Champion. Nora’s sweet torchy tones could sing anything. Moonlight Becomes You and Tindera, Handog and The Music Played, etc., etc.
If you want more proof, just listen to her take on Pearly Shells. It was an inane novelty tune but she sang it like she meant it and got everybody going Hawaiian. I remember Willy Cruz telling me that “Good singers make good actors,” while we were watching Nora record a simple tune that would later become memorable. No wonder, she did become a great actor.
It is unfortunate that Nora had to stop singing. I do hope she recovers her voice. Still, I am happy that she got the National Artist Award. This, after all, is the highest honor that this country can bestow on an artist.
In Nora’s case, I like to think that it encompasses everything, acting, singing, producing, I mean everything including her being a most intriguing, fascinating and unforgettable human being. Maybe we can now describe her as GOAT, the greatest of all time.
Also from the headlines. The Army is in uproar. BTS is off to temporary retirement. After over 10 years, the boys of BTS are taking time off from their careers. Which is just as well. Being in a boy band is one of the most confining situations ever.
This is loss of independence at the most exciting time of a young man’s life. For the most part, it has been do this, don’t do that for these boys for more than a decade. Sing like this, dance like this, don’t talk like that, etc., etc. because being BTS is big business.
In fact, shares of their management company HYBE dropped 25 percent and erased almost two trillion won from its market value on the day that the hiatus announcement came out. To stabilize the investors, HYBE countered that BTS will not really be absent but will be doing other things.
Whatever. I am glad that these boys are taking time out. Whether the reason is to go solo, to rest from exhaustion, to do compulsory military service or to date and find a girlfriend, they should do this now. Anyway, there is that new album Proof to enjoy while they are gone.
Big news, too, is that Paul McCartney turned 80 years old last June 18. And I think. How can this happen? Wasn’t it not too long ago when he was a mop-topped cutie singing Yesterday. Now that is indeed yesterday. I am sad that time does not stop moving. Yet, I am also glad McCartney is still around, fit and healthy and making music.
McCartney has a Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II and is the most successful songwriter of all time. He has sold over 600 million records as a Beatle and over a hundred million as a solo act or with Wings. He is probably worth a billion or two. Not bad for a kid from a working-class neighborhood in Liverpool.
Not bad for us, too. Can you imagine what our lives would have been like without Hey Jude, Across the Universe, And I Love Her, Blackbird, Carry That Weight, Do You Want to Know a Secret, Eleanor Rigby, The Fool on the Hill, Here There and Everywhere, In My Life… etc., etc.
“There are places I’ll remember all my life/ though some have changed/ some forever, not for better/ some have gone and some remain/ all these places have their moments/ with lovers and friends I still can recall/ some are dead and some are living/ in my life I’ve loved them all.”
Happy birthday, Sir Paul.

Lotto Winner In BC 'Couldn't Sleep' After Winning A $10.9M Jackpot & Plans To Travel Abroad
She bought the ticket because her friend was late for dinner!
A lotto winner in B.C. had trouble getting some shut-eye after scoring a $10.9 million win playing the Lotto 6/49. After getting that kind of money, who can blame her for not being able to sleep!
The lucky Lotto 6/49 jackpot winner, Trang Dang, was in shock after she found out that she had won big in the May 28 draw. Dang lives in Burnaby and bought her ticket from a Safeway store on McBride Boulevard in New Westminster.
She happened to purchase the ticket while she was waiting on her friend, who was actually running late for their dinner plans. Dang decided to grab some groceries while she waited, and picked up the lottery ticket.
Thankfully Dang's friend was running behind schedule that day, or she might have never bought the winning ticket.
After checking her ticket on the lotto app, Dang told her mom about the big news first.
"My mom was very excited. She plays the lottery even more than me," she said.
Dang already has a few ideas of how to use her new riches, including finding a new home and travelling to Europe. She hopes to go to Italy, France, and Spain.
Dang said that the massive win is "life-changing and has made things so much easier."
She isn't the only lottery player in B.C. that's gotten lucky lately. A Lotto Max winner in the province couldn't believe his win at first and now wants to take a road trip across Canada with his new money. | https://www.narcity.com/vancouver/lotto-winner-in-bc-couldnt-sleep-after-winning-a-109m-jackpot-plans-to-travel-abroad | 2022-06-24T19:17:35Z | https://www.narcity.com/vancouver/lotto-winner-in-bc-couldnt-sleep-after-winning-a-109m-jackpot-plans-to-travel-abroad | true | 1 |
CAIRO (AP) — Qatar’s emir arrived in Cairo late Friday for talks with Egypt's president, his first visit to the country following years of frayed ties and a boycott of Doha by four Arab states, including Egypt.
With Qatari and Egyptian flags flowing over the tarmac, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani was greeted at the airport by President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, a courtesy only granted to leaders of heavyweight allies.
The two were expected to discuss on Saturday key regional issues ahead of President Joe Biden’s anticipated trip to the Middle East next month and to deliberate on ways to further improve bilateral diplomatic and economic relations, local media reported.
The emir's visit came less than two months after his government announced that it would invest $5 billion in Egypt, another lifeline to the country's economy which has been dealt a blow following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The announcement came during a March visit by Qatar Foreign Minister Mohammad bin Abdulrahman.
Egyptian-Qatari relations deteriorated in 2013, when Egypt's military removed from power the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, who was backed by Qatar, and cracked down on his Muslim Brotherhood.
Doha, Qatar's capital, eventually became a haven for fleeing Egyptian Islamists, and the state-owed Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera Television took a decided stance against el-Sissi's government.
In 2017, Egypt joined Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in a boycott of Qatar in an effort to force Doha to change its policies. With a wide-ranging trade embargo, a ban on Qatar-bound flights from their airspace and a media blitz, they called on Doha to end close relations with Turkey, Iran and Islamists across the region.
Qatar rejected the quartet’s demands, which included that it shutter its Al Jazeera news network, expel a small contingency of Turkish troops from its territory and cut ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. It also denied claims by the quartet that it supports extremists.
The boycott pushed the gas-rich nation in closer alliance with Turkey and Iran while Doha also continued to strengthen ties with Washington.
The rift finally ended in 2021, when Qatar signed a declaration with the four to normalize relations. Since then, ties have improved and top officials have exchanged visits.
El-Sissi also met with the emir in November, on the sidelines of the climate change summit in Glasgow, and most recently in February, when they both attended the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Photographs of the two from the events warmly shaking hands came as early signs of renewed rapport. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Qatar-s-emir-in-Cairo-for-1st-time-since-Arab-17263841.php | 2022-06-24T19:19:01Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Qatar-s-emir-in-Cairo-for-1st-time-since-Arab-17263841.php | true | 16 |
OHIO (WJW) — Cleveland Right to Life will have a press conference Friday in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The press conference will take place at 3 p.m. at 901 West Superior Ave., Cleveland.
The Supreme Court Friday 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.
“Roe and Casey have been a blight on the American judicial landscape for nearly five decades,” said Kate Makra, Executive Director of Cleveland Right to Life. “There is no constitutional right to abortion, and I am heartened that the Supreme Court has finally acknowledged that. Tragically, the decision has come too late for the more than 63 million innocent souls who have been slaughtered in the womb in the name of choice since 1973.”
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. | https://fox8.com/news/cleveland-right-to-life-reacts-to-roe-v-wade-decision/ | 2022-06-24T19:19:32Z | https://fox8.com/news/cleveland-right-to-life-reacts-to-roe-v-wade-decision/ | true | 1 |
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican Gov. Chris Sununu on Friday vetoed a bill that would have permitted pharmacists to dispense a parasite drug to treat COVID-19 by means of a standing order without a prescription.
Some Americans have been turning to ivermectin to treat the virus, a cheap drug used to kill worms and other parasites in humans and animals. Health experts and medical groups have been pushing to stamp out use of the drug, warning that it can cause harmful side effects and that there’s little evidence it helps.
Sununu said in a news release that New Hampshire currently only has four instances in which pharmacists can dispense medication without a prescription: smoking cessation, contraception, substance use disorder, and treatment for sexual assault.
He said all of them “have gone through rigorous reviews and vetting to ensure they meet all the necessary protocols prior to a medication being dispensed via standing order."
He also said ivermectin remains available for individuals if prescribed by their doctor.
“Patients should always consult their doctor before taking medications so that they are fully aware of treatment options and potential unintended consequences of taking a medication that may limit other treatment options in the future," Sununu said.
The bill also would have established a commission to study the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Sununu-vetoes-bill-to-dispense-ivermectin-by-17263863.php | 2022-06-24T19:20:49Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Sununu-vetoes-bill-to-dispense-ivermectin-by-17263863.php | true | 15 |
