Roe Decision Will Affect Poor Women and Women of Color the Most
The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade will not stop abortions from happening, but will make them less safe in many states, Tulane University sociology professor Andrea Boyles says on LX News. But not all women will be affected equally. “This decision is raced, and it’s classed,” she says. | https://www.lx.com/politics/roe-decision-will-affect-poor-women-and-women-of-color-the-most/54747/ | 2022-06-25T03:00:07Z | https://www.lx.com/politics/roe-decision-will-affect-poor-women-and-women-of-color-the-most/54747/ | true | null |

The attorney for the family of Brian Laundrie on Friday released eight pages from Laundrie's notebook that was found near his remains in Florida in October last year, according to a news release obtained by CNN affiliate WINK.
In the notebook, Laundrie wrote in part, "I'm sorry to everyone this will affect. Gabby was the love of my life but I know adored by many. I'm so very sorry to her family, because I love them."
On another page, he wrote about Petito being injured and trying to help her.
"I don't know the extent of Gabby's ingerys (sic) only that she was in extreme pain. I ended her life, I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock. But from the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on without her," he wrote.
Petito's cause of death was ruled to be strangulation and the manner of death was homicide, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue said.
Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said he released the notebook pages after a meeting with the FBI and an attorney for Petito's family where they collected the personal belongings of Petito and Laundrie.
"As part of this return of property in FBI custody I was given Brian's notebook. I would like to share with the public the note that the FBI alluded to on January 21, 2022, that Brian claimed responsibility for the death of Gabby Petito," Bertolino said.
Bertolino released eight pages of the notebook and it is not known their order in the notebook that was recovered.
On the last page released, Laundrie wrote, "I have killed myself by this creek in the hopes that annimals (sic) may tear me apart. That it may make some of her family happy."
The last words on the page, written with a different pen than the previous ones said, "Please pick up all of my things. Gabby hated people who litter."
CNN has reached out to the FBI and the Petito family attorney for comment.

FSG have had fans anxious numerous moments in the history of their ownership, because of the fact that they were doing things differently by trying to bring high level quantitative methods and other more basic types of corporate managerial competence to football. Most of those occasions, they ended up winning praise for their excellent management.
Why havent they earned the benefit of the doubt of so many fans? Who knows what the recruitment, coaches and scouts have worked out that leads them to hold onto Salah for another year rather than cashing in? It wouldnt suprise me if, a few years down the line, Barnay Ronay and co. will write eulogies about Liverpools mastery of squad transitioning and contract negotiations with senior players, while some academic at Loughborough university or somewhere will add it to their module on managing major generational transition at organisations. And then everyone will try to copy us.
Thats not to say that the situation with Salah is actually just a product of Liverpools genius and will be proven to be the case, as I dont actually know, but it is to point out that our fans have been wrong sufficiently many times in relation to club decisions on squad management and recruitment in the FSG era that they should suspend judgement until matters play out.
But if we are here on Rawk to share our laymans opinions, then I, for one, think it would be crazy to allow both Mane and Salah to leave in one summer: that seems like too much change and loss of continuity in the dressing room etcetera. | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=335868.msg18397147 | 2022-06-25T03:57:38Z | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=335868.msg18397147 | true | 3 |
Examining the risk of explosion given specific conditions.
In the first article of this series, we have seen how and how much H2 is produced during underwater cutting. But is this gas by itself susceptible to explode? The answer is no. How, then, does an explosion occur?
We are generally taught that to trigger an explosion, we must bring together the three elements that are included in the fire triangle. These three elements are an oxidizer, a fuel and a source of ignition. While it is true that the mere presence of these three elements is enough to start a fire, it will not be enough to automatically start a gas explosion. To happen, it will also be necessary that the fuel / oxidizer mixture is confined in any enclosure in the form of a gas mixture in suspension and that the concentration thresholds in oxygen and fuel are conducive to explode.
If these six conditions aren’t met simultaneously, then the risk of explosion then becomes zero. Thus, to explode, our H2 must be mixed within a certain range with an oxidizer, which for us will always be the oxygen coming from the torch or eventually our breathing air in case of welding.
This range is defined on the one hand by the lower explosive limit (LEL) and on the other hand by the upper explosive limit (UEL). Below this LEL, there is too little combustible gas in the mixture to trigger ignition, while above this UEL there will be too little oxygen in the gas mixture to sustain the explosion.
However, not all flammable gases have the same explosive range and for the same gas it varies depending on the oxidizer (oxygen or air). For what concerns an H2 / O2 mixture, the explosion domain is between 4 and 95%.
Does this mean that there will be an explosion as soon as 4% hydrogen is reached? As nothing is found in our manuals, we have carried out in a series of tests on small vessels containing from 4 to 133 ml (0,24 to 8,11 in3) of H2/O2 mixture at ratios ranging from 5 to 100% and thanks to it we were able to trace an explosion pressure profile.
By looking at this profile, we can confidently say that the answer to the question posed above is no. From 4 % hydrogen, there is effectively a reaction with oxygen in the form of a “flash over” but without any sign of overpressure. A slight rise in pressure starts only from 8% hydrogen, and then accelerates from 12%.
We also note that the more the percentage of fuel gas increases, the more the explosion pressure will increase until it reaches a maximum when the ideal mixture (stoichiometric mixture in which all the oxygen as well as all the fuel is burned) is reached. Then the explosion pressure begins to drop until the upper explosive limit is reached and prevents any explosion. Now that we know that at least 8% of H2 is needed to generate a beginning of an explosion, let’s see if that percentage is reached during underwater cutting. Very little concrete information on this subject is currently available, but for the few that are, the results are diametrically opposed. On the one hand, there are those mentioned by two well-known trade associations that claim without further precision that this percentage of hydrogen is very high and on the other hand, the results of a few rare residual gas analyzes which on the contrary indicate extremely low percentages always below the LEL. So, which one to believe? The best was therefore to find the results by ourselves.
We have therefore realized another series of tests (15) in various cutting conditions into which the residual gases were recovered.
Some (9) of the gas samples were submitted to a flame to verify if they could generate an explosion while the gases from the other samples (6) were analyzed. If we except the explosion of a bag filled with a mixture of welding gases and air, no other bag exploded.
As for what concerned the gas analysis, none of the samples had a fuel percentage above 3%, which was therefore more in accordance with the results found on the internet.
How can such a low fuel percentage be explained?
Whether the cutting is performed using an oxy-arc or ultra-thermic electrode or by using a gas cutting torch, these two types of method always use oxygen.
This will allow, on the one hand, carrying out the combustion of the metal and on the other hand, thanks to the action of the pressure jet, to eliminate and drive these oxides out of the kerf. To carry out this flush, a fairly high cutting pressure is generally used (4 to 7 bars), which as can be seen on the graph generates a more or less significant consumption of oxygen.
Yet of all the volume sent through the electrode (or through the gas torch nozzle), only a small amount of the total volume of oxygen is burned during the oxidation of iron. Without entering into the details of a chemical equation, it is estimated that between 2 liters (122 in3) and 3 liters (183 in3) of O2 will be needed to cut 1 cubic centimeter (0.06 cu in) of steel. Clearly, this means that under normal conditions of use, the percentage of unburned oxygen present in the residual gases is relatively high and, according to published studies, generally exceeds 97% (thus less than 3% hydrogen).
On the other hand, this percentage of oxygen present in the residual gases can decrease if for one or another reason the cutting pressure (and therefore the flow rate) is reduced below the pressures prescribed by the manufacturer. Not only does this decrease the performance of the electrode, but it will therefore indirectly increase the percentage of hydrogen present in the residual gases.
This risk is then particularly present when the diver uses oxy-arc electrodes, because already in normal condition of use and due to its design, this type of electrode consumes as can be seen in graph 2, less oxygen than an ultra-thermic rod, and therefore less unburned oxygen is present in the gases which rise to the surface.
To fully understand what is described above, we can take inspiration from the following example:
Knowing that it takes +/- 3 l (183 in3) of oxygen to cut 1 cc (0.06 cu3) of steel (iron) and that this same volume of steel (1 cc) will produce by thermolysis about 8 ml (0.49 in3) of hydrogen, let’s check what the % H2 in the residual gas will be when a diver cuts a steel plate 35 cm (13.78″) long × 1 cm (0.39″) thick.
In our example, the diver will make 2 cuts at different pressures using a Ø 9.5 mm exothermic electrode (1.1 cm (0.43″) wide kerf) (table 1), as well as 2 cuts using a oxy-arc electrode Ø 7.9 mm (0.9 cm (0.35″) wide kerf) (table 2).
Finally, for comparison, the % H2 on another 35 cm (13.78″) × 5 cm (1.97″) thick cut (1 cm (0.39 ″) wide kerf) is also calculated (table 3).
As can be seen, the H2 concentration can rapidly increase if the diver is using a low oxygen pressure, but also if he cuts thick steel. Concerning the normal condition of use and in view of the results obtained during our different tests as well than those published on the web, it seems a priori that the risks to get a high concentration of hydrogen into the residual gases is limited. But CAUTION, this does not mean that explosions caused by hydrogen are not possible. Indeed, it would seem that in practice and during a gas cloud explosion in the open air, a freshly contained explosive mixture is sometimes characterized by a non-uniform composition in which various concentrations of the mixture can be met, some of which being explosive.
It is therefore not impossible that such a same situation can also be encountered underwater. Now, it must be known that the underwater cutting gas explosions are not always caused by hydrogen. They can also be caused by other fuels (mainly methane). Sometimes also unexplained explosions can occur incidentally when the gases are not confined at all. These are called “steam explosion” and may be due to a violent reaction of the incandescent slag with a cold liquid, which then causes the explosive fragmentation (nucleation) of the slag. Although these are possible with carbon steels, this type of explosion is however encountered more frequently when cutting so-called exotic metals such as zinc, aluminium, certain type of bronze, and even stainless steel, or thick steel pieces.
As you can see from these two articles, cutting underwater can generate the risk of explosion, the consequences of which are sometimes fatal. This is why this technique should only be undertaken after having carried out a correct analysis of the risks that may arise and by making sure in particular that no gas accumulation can occur or is already present near the cutting or welding area.
If this risk exists, it is then imperative to evacuate the gases which are present or which may accumulate, by practicing evacuation vents and by making sure to sufficiently ventilate the concerned area with an inert gas or, failing that, with compressed air to dilute the flammable mixture and keep it below its lower explosive limit.
If despite these measures, the risk analysis shows that there is still a risk of gas accumulation, then DO NOT CUT and choose another work technique.

Richard Walter Radecki, 61, of Pensacola, FL, passed away July 23, 2005. He was affectionately known as “Ragman” to every friend and acquaintance. He met no stranger and was loved by everyone.
He proudly and passionately served his country as a career US Navy Diver ascending to the rank of Master Chief. To simply say he earned the exalted designation of Master Diver is an understatement. He knew his trade from the big picture down to the smallest detail. From bowlines and square knots to 4-point moors and beach gear to fat ropes and wire; from advanced diving medicine to diving safety and standards.
His 30-year career in Navy diving culminated as Master Diver, Senior Instructor for the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC). He was a qualified Navy Instructor with over 4,000 hours of podium time. One of Richard’s wishes was that he be remembered as a good shipmate; to know that the men with which he served thought well of him. | https://www.underwatermagazine.com/2022/05/the-adci-hall-of-fame-inducts-richard-walter-radecki/ | 2022-06-25T03:58:12Z | https://www.underwatermagazine.com/2022/05/the-adci-hall-of-fame-inducts-richard-walter-radecki/ | false | 1 |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Most California taxpayers would get hundreds of dollars in cash to help offset the high price of fuel and other goods under a tentative budget compromise being discussed by legislative leaders and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The plan would return a portion of California's record-setting $97 billion budget surplus to taxpayers — but the money would only go to people who made below a certain income level.
Newsom and legislative leaders were still negotiating the state budget on Friday, with talks scheduled to extend into the weekend. While both sides had agreed to a framework for rebates, the overall numbers could change as other parts of the budget are finalized. But in general, the less money people make in a year, the more money they would get from the state.
The current proposal would return about $9.5 billion to taxpayers. Single people who make less than $75,000 per year and couples who make less than $150,000 per year would get $350 per taxpayer, plus an extra $350 for each dependent. That means a married couple earning $100,000 per year with one child would get $1,050.
Single people who make less than $125,000 per year and couples who make less than $250,000 per year would get $250 each plus their dependents. Single people making less than $250,000 per year and couples making less than $500,000 per year would get $200 each plus their dependents.
The proposal was confirmed by Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, a Democrat from Los Angeles. Santiago announced the plan in a news release late Friday afternoon, calling it an agreement between Newsom and the Legislature. But a representative for Santiago's office later clarified the deal has not yet been finalized.
“As prices increase on everything from gas to baby formula, this rebate will help the vast majority of California taxpayers, including undocumented Californians, with hundreds of dollars in direct cash assistance, providing critical relief during tough times,” Santiago said.
The statewide average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in California hit an all-time high of $6.44 last week. The average price was $6.35 cents per gallon on Friday compared to the national average of $4.93.
Republicans, who don't control enough seats in the state Legislature to pass anything, have called for Newsom and Democrats to temporarily suspend the state's gas tax — which at 51.1 cents per gallon is the second highest in the nation. The tax is scheduled to increase to 53.9 cents per gallon next week, an automatic adjustment that is part of a state law intended to keep up with inflation.
Newsom and Democratic leaders have refused to suspend the gas tax, arguing it would not guarantee a big enough price drop to benefit drivers. They also said it would cost construction jobs as the tax pays for highway maintenance throughout the state.
Instead, they pledged months ago to use the state's budget surplus to send money directly to taxpayers. But so far, nothing has happened because Newsom and legislative leaders have not been able to agree how to do it. Newsom had proposed sending the money to registered vehicle owners, while lawmakers wanted to send the money to tax filers.
The proposal announced Friday is a compromise. The money would go to taxpayers instead of vehicle owners, but the checks would be larger than legislative leaders had initially proposed. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/California-governor-lawmakers-near-deal-on-gas-17264919.php | 2022-06-25T04:00:20Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/California-governor-lawmakers-near-deal-on-gas-17264919.php | false | 20 |
Lawyer releases pages from Brian Laundrie’s notebook in which he admits to killing Gabby Petito
By Jamiel Lynch and Chenelle Woody, CNN
The attorney for the family of Brian Laundrie on Friday released eight pages from Laundrie’s notebook that was found near his remains in Florida in October last year, according to a news release obtained by CNN affiliate WINK.
In the notebook, Laundrie wrote in part, “I’m sorry to everyone this will affect. Gabby was the love of my life but I know adored by many. I’m so very sorry to her family, because I love them.”
On another page, he wrote about Petito being injured and trying to help her.
“I don’t know the extent of Gabby’s ingerys (sic) only that she was in extreme pain. I ended her life, I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock. But from the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn’t go on without her,” he wrote.
Petito’s cause of death was ruled to be strangulation and the manner of death was homicide, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue said.
Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said he released the notebook pages after a meeting with the FBI and an attorney for Petito’s family where they collected the personal belongings of Petito and Laundrie.
“As part of this return of property in FBI custody I was given Brian’s notebook. I would like to share with the public the note that the FBI alluded to on January 21, 2022, that Brian claimed responsibility for the death of Gabby Petito,” Bertolino said.
Bertolino released eight pages of the notebook and it is not known their order in the notebook that was recovered.
On the last page released, Laundrie wrote, “I have killed myself by this creek in the hopes that annimals (sic) may tear me apart. That it may make some of her family happy.”
The last words on the page, written with a different pen than the previous ones said, “Please pick up all of my things. Gabby hated people who litter.”
CNN has reached out to the FBI and the Petito family attorney for comment.

OPINION:
In hindsight, the white suit was not a great idea.
On Tuesday this week, William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were back at it, helping unveil a new national monument at London's Waterloo Station.
So what did the Duchess, who has shown a cheering propensity towards businesslike get-ups of late, choose for the occasion? A crisp two-piece ensemble from Alexander McQueen which was blazingly white.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.One online publication then quickly sprang forth with the doozy of a headline, "Kate Middleton Looks Business Chic in White Suit to Celebrate Windrush Day."
The problem here is a) the term "white power" is clearly a deeply problematic term and it's usage is only made worse when you realise that b) Windrush Day celebrates the thousands of people from Caribbean nations who migrated to the UK after World War II and who have, at times, been treated terribly by the British government.
The thing about Kate's suit is that it was emblematic of one unfortunate thing: The couple has a racism problem.
Before anyone starts yelling, let me be very clear here: I am not accusing the Duke and Duchess of being racist, holding any sort of racist beliefs or knowingly doing a single thing that would earn them the praise of the MAGA crowd.
However, when it comes to anything vaguely adjacent to skin colour and prejudice, the Cambridges are at sea.
The spectre of racism is one which has loomed large over the entire House of Windsor since March last year when Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, turned up on global TV screens to denounce their treatment at the hands of the Palace.
The Duchess said when she was pregnant with her son Archie, there had been "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born". She also told Winfrey of her unborn child, "They didn't want him to be a prince or a princess. He wasn't going to receive security."
Meanwhile, Harry talked about the fact that "over 70 female members of parliament, both Conservative and Labour, came out and called out the colonial undertones of articles and headlines written about Meghan".

Advertise with NZME."Yet no one from my family ever said anything. That hurts," he said.
Buckingham Palace's response to the interview and their claims was stony silence for nearly two whole days, before putting out a purse-lipped statement saying that "the issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning" however, "recollections may vary".
The only HRH to actually publicly comment on the stinging allegations was William who later that same week off the cuff told reporters, "We're very much not a racist family."
In the 15 months since then, not a peep more has been uttered on the subject by a single senior Windsor.
The royal strategy seemed to be to treat the situation like a bear attack; lie very still and hope the danger passes by. But for all that the Palace might have been hoping the world would move on and simply forget the Sussexes' racism claims, they very clearly have not.
In polling done post-Oprah, ethnic minority Britons said they thought that the royal family was racist by a margin of 43 per cent as opposed to 27 per cent who disagreed.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Meanwhile, in research done in June this year, nearly equal proportions of 18-24-year-olds think that the UK should become a republic.
The thing is, the Sussexes' comments were not made in a vacuum but against the racial reckoning of the Black Lives Matter movement which resoundingly reached British shores. Statues were toppled and in the months since then, 69 tributes to slave traders and colonialists in Britain have been either taken down or changed since then.
Against this backdrop, it would be a serious error of judgment if William and Kate continued to turn a blind eye to the fact that, courtesy of the Sussexes, the royal family has, for many people, become synonymous with bigotry.
Again, I am not saying that they are racist but now that charges have been made, they can't just hope they will magically go away of their own accord.
The longer that anyone with an HRH fails to adequately and meaningfully respond to the Sussexes' claims, the worse they all look.
Moreover, how can either William or Kate morally or intellectually try to hold themselves up as proponents of equality when the family and institution they represent has been accused of contemporary racism?
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.How can they hope to have any credibility on the matter when Meghan's claims are still very much at the forefront of public consciousness?
There is a much bigger situation at play here, obviously.
Even if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had not uttered an incendiary word, the centuries of colonial rule presided over by British kings and queens is hardly something that can be swept under the rug or politely ignored.
More than three million men, women and children were abducted and shipped to the Caribbean. Between the 1660s and 1680s, the English in Barbados instituted the Slave Code, defined slaves as non-humans who were, according to the UN, " 'heathens' and 'brutes' not fit to be governed by the same laws as Christians".
Which is pretty much exactly the same time – 1689 specifically – in which William III, who owned half of the Royal African Company and which profited hugely from the slave trade, bought a modest "cottage" and re-made it into Kensington Palace.
That is, of course, right where the Cambridge family currently lives.

Advertise with NZME.Or take the Imperial Crown, which Kate could wear when she is crowned Queen and which features the 186-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond.
There is no single object which better exemplifies what has been termed the British Empire's campaign of "state sponsored theft". Both the Pakistan and India governments have repeatedly asked for the jewel back.
In 2020, campaigners called for The Order of St Michael and St George, one of the highest royal orders, to be redesigned given the image on the gong depicts a white angel with its foot on a black angel's head.
None of these – the palace, the diamond or the honour – are things that the current members of the royal family created but that they are still responsible for, at the very least, talking about the more problematic aspects of the monarchy's past.
They can't all pretend that the echoes of colonialism and racism are not still woven into parts of royal life.
I can predict the arguments many people will make at this point: It's impossible to prove you are not racist or that the empire crumbled long ago; it's not as if it was the Cambridges themselves who subjugated millions while strip mining assets. Why should the Duke and Duchess be made to pay for the sins of his forefathers?
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.However, if William and Kate want the monarchy to become a relevant and useful institution in British public life, ie survive, then they can't go around pretending that previous heads of the same body did not profit hugely from the brutalisation and suffering of people of colour.
Obstinate muteness is not an option here.
Obviously, they can't change the past but they can more openly acknowledge it.
Likewise, Harry and Meghan's accusations. I'm not suggesting a they-said/they-said war of words but the royal family still needs to put some sort of substantial response.
If William wants to be a leader he can't just give the issue of racism a wide berth and hope everyone will be suitably dazzled by how well he is doing on climate change or homelessness and forget to be concerned about it.
A paltry seven words – "We're very much not a racist family" – simply won't cut it.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.The Duke can't outrun, out-ignore or out-charity the fact that a very clear line can be drawn between the horrors of the monarchy's past and the present day.
What would be incredible to see is William taking part in some sort of national conversation about race in the UK and/or agreeing to a very frank public discussion about the monarchy's dark past. After all, admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
Or the Duke and Duchess could start much closer to home, given that in their team "diversity" means people who went to State school. Not a single one of the Cambridges' senior staff is a person of colour. (Overall, only 8.5 per cent of royal employees are from ethnic minorities.)
Perhaps if they had some non-white advisers then their Caribbean tour earlier this year may not have gone so spectacularly off the rails, with the couple photographed shaking the hands of black children through a fence and inspecting Jamaican troops while dressed up like two extras from Out of Africa.
The week-long escapade only reinforced the impression held by many that the royal family is an inherently antiquated and useless relic with no place in 21st century life.
During his speech at the opening of the Waterloo monument this week, William said the Windrush generation had been "profoundly wronged" before later declaring that "discrimination remains an all too familiar experience for black men and women in Britain in 2022".

Dems hope to harness outrage, sadness after abortion ruling
YARDLEY, Pa. (AP) — The shock quickly turned to sadness for Victoria Lowe.
The 37-year-old lawyer, working outside a cafe in suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania, said she couldn’t believe the Supreme Court stripped away the constitutional right to abortion that women have had her entire life. She started to cry.
“I don’t understand how they could reach this conclusion,” she said.
In the immediate aftermath of one of the Supreme Court’s most consequential rulings, it was too soon to know how deeply the political landscape had shifted. But in this politically competitive corner of one of the most important swing states in the U.S., embattled Democrats hope to harness the emotion from women like Lowe to reset what has been an otherwise brutal election year environment.
For much of the year, the threat to abortion rights has seemed somewhat theoretical, overshadowed by more tangible economic challenges, particularly inflation and rising gas prices. But the Supreme Court’s decision ensures that abortion will be a central issue in U.S. politics for the foreseeable future.
That’s especially true as restrictions begin to take effect. Pregnant women considering abortions already had been dealing with a near-complete ban in Oklahoma and a prohibition after roughly six weeks in Texas. Clinics in at least eight other states — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, South Dakota, Wisconsin and West Virginia — stopped performing abortions after Friday’s decision.
In Pennsylvania, the future of the procedure could hinge on November’s elections. For now, women here will continue to have access to abortion up to 24 weeks. Republicans are poised to change state law, however, should they maintain control of the legislature and seize the governorship in November. Doug Mastriano, the GOP nominee for governor, opposes abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.
Democrats in Pennsylvania and beyond initially appeared to unite behind their collective outrage, fear and sadness.
They planned widespread protests. From the White House on Friday, President Joe Biden urged protesters to keep the peace, even as he described the court ruling as “wrong, extreme and out of touch.”
The Democratic president also called on voters to make their voices heard this fall: “Roe is on the ballot.”
At the same time, members of the Democratic National Committee raised the prospect of a silver lining within the high court’s historic gut punch.
“Democrats have a real opportunity right now to harness this anger, to harness the sadness,” Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee said during a meeting of a DNC subcommittee. “We are setting the foundation to ensure that Democrats stay in the White House, so that the next time, there’s an opening on the bench, on the federal bench anywhere, that we’ve got a Democratic president making that appointment.”
Democratic-aligned groups moved to deploy the resources to warn of what’s at stake in this year’s midterms. NARAL Freedom Fund and Priorities USA Action immediately spent $300,000 on digital advertising.
Republicans, for their part, sought to downplay their excitement about winning the decades-long fight against abortion rights, aware that the ruling could energize the Democratic base, particularly suburban women. Before Friday’s ruling, Democrats close to the White House were increasingly pessimistic about the party’s chances of holding either the House or Senate in November.
Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, said she expected abortion opponents to turn out in huge numbers this fall, even if Democrats might be motivated by Friday’s ruling.
She called it “a great day for unborn children and mothers.” “Because it’s been a so-called right for 50 years doesn’t mean it was right,” Tobias said.
Polling shows that relatively few Americans wanted to see Roe overturned.
In 2020, AP VoteCast found that 69% of voters in the presidential election said the Supreme Court should leave the Roe v. Wade decision as is. Still, recent surveys tend to show other issues rising above abortion as the most important problems facing the country.
Thirteen percent of Democrats mentioned abortion or reproductive rights as one of the issues they want the federal government to address in 2022, according to a December poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s up from less than 1% of Democrats who named it as a priority for 2021 and 3% who listed it in 2020.
Other issues like the economy, COVID-19, health care and gun control ranked as higher priorities for Democrats in the poll. But the exponential rise in the percentage citing reproductive rights as a key concern suggests the issue was resonating with Democrats as the Supreme Court considered overturning Roe.
The fight for abortion rights — and the related political fallout — now shifts to the states.
Thirteen deep-red states have so-called “trigger laws” that will now ban abortion almost immediately, but the future of abortion access is less certain across several other more moderate states with Republican-controlled legislatures: Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin, among them.
In many cases, GOP legislatures have already approved restrictive abortion laws, including so-called “heartbeat” bills that would outlaw abortions before most women know they’re pregnant. Some legislation is tied up in the courts, while others have yet to move through Republican legislatures. Now that Roe has fallen, such laws — or more restrictive bans — could only be stopped by a veto from a Democratic governor or Democrat-backed court challenge, if at all.
Some states, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Texas, have decades-old abortion bans predating Roe that would now presumably take effect absent another challenge in their state courts.
Despite initial hope among Democrats that the upheaval would motivate their base, some on the front lines of the party’s uphill midterm fight aren’t so sure.
Jamie Perrapato, executive director of the pro-Democratic group Turn PA Blue, notes that Democrats produced record turnout across Pennsylvania in last year’s off-year elections. But so did Republicans, who ultimately dominated down-ballot races across the state.
“I feel sick. I hope this wakes people up. I hope they realize, even though it’s terrible, you can’t put your head in the sand,” Perrapato said. “But I don’t know. It’s a really bleak time.”
Back in Bucks County, Lowe said she votes Democratic and planned to vote in November even before Friday’s decision. Abortion rights are a top issue for her, even as inflation surges.
“I would say it is more important to me than the gas issue,” she said. “This is such a personal, fundamental human right that it’s bigger than the economy.”
Sitting next to Lowe at the cafe, 56-year-old Margaret Pezalla-Granlund also choked up when asked about the Supreme Court decision. Although they were strangers, Lowe offered her a tissue, and the women dried their eyes together.
Pezalla-Granlund was especially worried about her 15-year-old daughter. “She’ll be growing up in a really different situation than I had and I expected she’d have,” she said.
Such concern wasn’t limited to Democrats.
Not far away, 75-year-old Karen Sloan was smoking a cigarette outside a cafe in the Delaware River town of Bristol. A self-described Republican who supports abortion rights, she said Friday’s ruling upset her.
“I just can’t believe it,” Sloan said. “I’m not saying it’s right to take a human life. But there are circumstances it needs to be done.”
She said she would have voted in November even before the ruling, but now she’s planning to support candidates who back abortion rights. For her, the issue outranks high gas prices and inflation.
“You’re taking away someone’s rights and that to me is more important,” Sloan said. “It’s a big thing in the United States for women.”

Acting Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacob. Photo by Darren Bahaw
ACTING Commissioner of Police Mc Donald Jacob has disputed reports and a video which suggest police kicked a man multiple times in the head at the Jam Nkd event on June 16 at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain.
At a Ministry of National Security press conference on Friday, Jacob said based on his information, the man, who is a soldier, was struck on the shoulder.
“I wish to rebut the ‘repeated kicks in the head’ (comments). From our information, the person was struck, in some instances, on the shoulder. The medical (report)is there.
“So I would not want to endorse the use of the word ‘repeatedly.” I don’t know why we want to accelerate things and put things in that context.”
But a 19-second video of the incident on social media showed police engaging two men who they initially claimed were suspects in several break-ins of parked vehicles at the event.
The officers were then seen using pepper spray on the men. One man was pepper-sprayed, kicked in the leg as he rubbed his eyes, body-slammed and then kicked twice in the head while on the ground.
At the same time, another man was held in a choke-hold as he scuffled with police and was eventually subdued.
Jacob was responding to a question on the status of an investigation launched by the police Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) and complaint division into what was described as the excessive force police used to restrain the men.
A police report said between 6.45 am and 7.30 am the soldier, who is from Morvant, became aggressive and spat in the face of an officer while police were speaking to him as he tried to enter the event with his electronic ticket.
Inter Agency Task Force officers were called in and the soldier’s friend ran toward them, kicking one of the officers.
Director of the Police Complaints Authority David West said the PCA was also investigating. He could not be reached for comment on Friday.

It’s been a busy week for many of the Bulloch All-Stars 12-U team. About half the team play for the Around the Horn travel team who played in the Perfect Game World Series which started last week.
The team’s success spilled into this week as they ended up as runners up in that tournament which ended Tuesday. From there the kids and parents packed things up and raced over to Mill Creek Park for the Georgia State 12-U baseball tournament which started Tuesday at 4:00. The team got to the park about 3:30 and promptly lost their opener to Wayne County 6-0.
Thankfully for them the tournament was double elimination and they then went on quite a run. In the loser’s bracket Bulloch beat Bryan County 11-2 on Wednesday and then had a pair of games Thursday. Bulloch defeated Tucker 19-1 and then knocked off Swainsboro/Emanuel County 8-4 moments later putting them into the loser’s bracket semifinals Friday.
Friday morning, they won their fourth straight game with an exciting 4-2 come from behind victory over Moultrie. After that, Bulloch ran out of gas as they lost again to Wayne County 14-0 ending their run with a third-place state finish.
“Really only one team will be celebrating at the end of this tournament,” said coach Josh Cole. “I have coached a lot of teams throughout the years and most of the time it ends with your guys feeling down. It’s hard in the moment but it’s important to look at what we were able to accomplish. I feel like we had the toughest district in the state and to finish third here is a great accomplishment.”
Cole was one of many parents who wrapped up eight days of baseball and admitted he felt the long stretch of games may have finally gotten to the kids.
“Many of these guys played three games in two different towns on Tuesday,” said Cole. “Eight straight days is a lot of baseball. If you look at expectations with all things considered I think this group really overachieved. Our guys put together a heck of a run having to come through the loser’s bracket. We won four-in-a-row to get to this game including a big win over a very good Moultrie team this morning.”
We made a great run into this tournament placing second in the district tournament,” said Cole. “We took the Vidalia team who is in the championship here all the way to the wore before losing 3-2. I couldn’t be prouder of these kids. They fought their butts off and had to switch positions and we were running out of pitching, but they didn’t complain and kept on fighting till the end.” | https://www.statesboroherald.com/sports/bullochs-12u-squad-comes-just-short/ | 2022-06-25T04:43:33Z | https://www.statesboroherald.com/sports/bullochs-12u-squad-comes-just-short/ | true | 1 |
DETROIT – In just the last five days six people have died in crashes on Metro Detroit highways.
Michigan State Police have said none of the crashes were accidents and all could have been avoided.
Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said every crash involved someone doing something wrong from impaired driving, distracted driving, following too close or crossing the median.
Statewide, the numbers are even worse -- more than 1,100 people died last year. In response, police said they’re getting more aggressive with tickets and fines.

Another question I get asked quite a lot, and I am only happy to answer on my channel. Achieving glamour skin tones starts on set, of course, with your subject, and how you go about shooting your image, but post work to enhance it is a must as well. I created a 20 min video reviewing exactly what it is I often do, using Capture One for RAW processing and Photoshop CC14 for further color work in regards to skin tones.
The image in this tutorial is otherwise unedited beyond what you see me do with the color. When I finalize this image for real, I will likely noodle with lots of other details to get my final look. That said, the color work I discuss here is exactly my usual approach to a deep glamour skin tone. Keep in mind, every image is different and requires improvisation when you dive into them depending on countless details. This is, however, my most common plan of attack on prepping and finalizing skin tones (and subsequently overall tones of my glamour images).
Play around with the Before and After below, but note that the After image has other small tweaks and additions as well to show how a final (or near final) image looks after I adjust my colors for glamour skin tones. Please note this approach can and should be modified to suit your own color work tastes and style. Try it out and see what results you get, and let me know what you think! | https://voonze.com/how-i-create-warm-skin-tones-in-glamour-photos-using-capture-one-and-photoshop/ | 2022-06-25T05:04:31Z | https://voonze.com/how-i-create-warm-skin-tones-in-glamour-photos-using-capture-one-and-photoshop/ | true | 1 |
As he gathered his notes to begin his introductory comments Friday, new Washington baseball coach Jason Kelly joked, “I’ve always wanted to pull a piece of paper out of my suit coat and feel important.”
But there was a more telling sartorial reference later in the news conference in the Omaha Room of the UW baseball facility, as Kelly discussed what he called his top priority: recruiting.
“That’s going to be A-1 as we get going,” he said. “I want to get done with this thing [the news conference], take off this tie and get back to work on that part of it. This is not what I do well. I want to keep going on some of the things that I do well.”
Husky athletic director Jen Cohen picked Kelly, 42, from what she said Friday was “a deep candidate pool and very competitive search” in part because of her belief he had the connections, personality and background to stock the program with top talent. She talked of Kelly’s “bold vision for the future” and “formula for sustainable success,” adding that “he just gets this place.”
That insider knowledge comes from seven years as the pitching coach under Lindsay Meggs, whose retirement this month created the vacancy Kelly filled. Kelly left UW in 2020 to take the same position at Arizona State. When the Sun Devils’ coach was fired two years later, Kelly became pitching coach at SEC powerhouse LSU this past season. He was with the Tigers at the NCAA regional three weeks ago when their season ended in a tough loss to Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg.
“As you know, it’s an emotional time,” he said. “We’ve got kids crying. Everybody’s kind of saying goodbye. … I get back on the bus, and I’ve got 165 missed text messages.”
Kelly joked that he thought maybe he picked his nose on the TV broadcast and people were chiding him. Instead, it was friends, colleagues and Husky alumni hitting him with Meggs’ retirement news and wondering if he was going to pursue the job.
“And I’ll be honest with you, I hadn’t thought about it. I was really happy where I was,” he said.
But when Cohen reached out and he delved into it more thoroughly, Kelly realized the opportunity was too great not to pursue. Which is how Kelly on Friday came to be holding up a No. 43 Husky jersey — he chose it because that was the number his late father, Mike, a former minor-leaguer in the Orioles’ organization, wore in football and baseball — for the obligatory photo op.
Kelly comes from an extraordinary baseball family with deep roots in the central coast of California. His brother, Dustin, is the hitting coordinator for the Cubs. An uncle, Pat, is a longtime manager in the Cincinnati Reds’ farm system. One cousin, Casey Kelly, was a first-round draft pick of the Red Sox and is now a pitching star in the professional league in Korea, while another cousin, Christopher, was a scout for the Padres. His grandfather was a three-sport Hall of Famer at the University of Upper Iowa. Kelly’s own pitching career ended in college at Missouri Valley College after Tommy John elbow surgery.
That’s when Kelly turned to coaching, starting out as a volunteer assistant at Cuesta College, a junior college in San Luis Obispo, California. Soon, he was volunteering at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo under coach Larry Lee and working the night shift as a manager at Albertson’s grocery store. When he couldn’t make it work financially, Kelly was on the verge of quitting coaching when Meggs called to offer the pitching coach job at Chico State. His career took off from there, especially when Meggs brought him to Seattle to run the Huskies’ staff.
Kelly said his connection to Washington actually developed at a young age, while watching the exploits of the quarterback at St. Joseph’s, his future high school in Santa Maria, California — a lefty named Mark Brunell, who would go on to star for the Huskies. As a result of their intense Brunell fandom, Kelly said, his brother had an “old-school Husky parka” while he rocked a Husky Starter jacket as a youngster.
“So I had a connection to this place before baseball was even a thought process in my mind at this level,” he said. “And then to get here, and as you know, the Northwest is a different place. You’ve got to fit in here. And you’ve got to really engulf yourself in this community, especially the baseball community up here; otherwise, they’ll push you away. And if they don’t think you’re in it for the right reasons, you’re going to have a tough time getting players.”
Kelly said his goal is to recruit Seattle and the state of Washington relentlessly — “we’re going to do our best to keep everybody here that wants to be here.” But he added that he hopes to recruit the entire West Coast — and beyond when the need arises.
“That may mean going into California to find a left-handed pitcher, that may mean going in Arizona to find a shortstop, and not necessarily being completely beholden to the Northwest,” he said. “I think if we can combine those things, we can maintain success for hopefully a long time.”
Asked if he thinks Omaha, Nebraska — site of the College World Series, a destination reached by Meggs and Kelly in 2018 for the first time in program history — is an attainable goal, he replied, “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. We’ve proven we can do it.”
The Husky program, however, couldn’t replicate that success in the subsequent four seasons. In discussing his sustainability plan to which Cohen alluded, Kelly said, “We want to get kids excited about Washington baseball, and that starts at the age of 10, at the youth camps that will be going on. Just making sure they understand that this is a place they can come get a top-notch education, get baseball opportunities to compete at the top of the Pac-12, and also aspirations of professional baseball.
“If we can combine all those things, we’ll develop an energy about us that kids are going to want to continue to come, and we can stack up recruiting classes. … It’s going to be about finding the right people. And if you do that, then the word-of-mouth spreads. You treat people right, you treat the players right, treat everybody right. And I think the momentum of that will allow us to continue to have success.”
Kelly lauded Meggs and his tenure at Washington. What his tenure will offer, he said, “is just kind of a breath of fresh air on a couple of new ways of doing things, and a couple of tweaks on how we may approach things, and just a different energy.”
That started Friday — especially when Kelly exited the podium and took off his tie. | https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/sports/new-uw-baseball-coach-jason-kelly-ready-to-start-stacking-up-recruiting-classes/article_82c6b926-f435-11ec-b0c0-c392688992fb.html | 2022-06-25T05:06:38Z | https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/sports/new-uw-baseball-coach-jason-kelly-ready-to-start-stacking-up-recruiting-classes/article_82c6b926-f435-11ec-b0c0-c392688992fb.html | false | 2 |

London IPOs in decline since Brexit vote as British companies flock to New York
London’s IPO market share has dropped since the Brexit vote as British companies seek to list in New York.
Listings in the UK are at their lowest in over 10 years despite the government relaxing some rules to attract IPOs and make London a post-Brexit listings favourite.
IPO activity in the country dropped to about 23 per cent of Europe’s IPOs in the five years following Britain’s decision to exit the EU in 2016, from near 30 per cent in the five years before it, Bloomberg data showed.
The UK’s IPO share was $76.4bn of Europe’s total share of $328.6bn from 2017 to 2021. It was $94.1bn of Europe’s total $323.5bn from 2011 to 2015.
The first half of 2022 has seen IPOs worth just $800m in the UK compared with $6.5bn total in Europe, six years after the Brexit vote. Six before the vote in the second half of 2010, the UK’s IPO share was $7.3bn compared to total Europe IPO activity of $25.8bn.
Major IPO failures recently have further dented confidence in the UK market. Companies like Deliveroo plc and THG plc have fallen over 60 per cent since their IPOs.
Record inflation and fears of a recession in the UK have further dented market optimism for IPOs. | https://www.cityam.com/london-ipos-in-decline-since-brexit-vote-as-british-companies-flock-to-new-york/ | 2022-06-25T05:08:02Z | https://www.cityam.com/london-ipos-in-decline-since-brexit-vote-as-british-companies-flock-to-new-york/ | false | 1 |

Rising gas prices are hitting wallets hard, and the city of St. Joseph isn’t immune.
Regular unleaded gas recently hit the highest average price in the history of St. Joseph at $4.58, according to AAA. Diesel gas is even worse — $5.36, also a historic record. This is particularly concerning for many city departments that use diesel fuel for their vehicles and equipment.
A fire truck carries about 75 to 100 gallons of gas, which is why the St. Joseph Fire Department is $34,000 above its gas budget for the year. In May, the department spent nearly $10,500 on gas. Fuel costs a year prior? Less than half that — $5,126.
“If you figure fuel prices have went up over 100% and we’re only 64% over budget, we’re holding our own,” said St. Joseph Fire Chief Kenny Cordonnier. “It’s still not the numbers you would like to see, but I mean this is something that the whole world’s facing, not just St. Joe Fire Department.”
The public works department has the most robust budget within the city with a lot of money going toward fuel. While the streets division hasn’t exceeded its budget, it’s spent more money on gas than it has in the last six years.
“There’s so many things that we deal with,” said Keven Schneider, the superintendent of streets. “We have to be prepared for a long winter, a lot of storms, floods, windstorms. We’ve been pretty lucky, but we’re about to run out of luck.”
To minimize costs, supervisors are asking workers not to leave vehicles idling and to carpool when possible.
“We’ve asked guys to shut trucks off at fire scenes instead of letting them idle unnecessarily and try to combine all your runs and go do all your stuff one time,” Cordonnier said.
The city council included increased department gas budgets for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1. But if prices continue to rise, it might not be enough. If that’s the case, the city council will have to amend the budget to find the money.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do,” Cordonnier said. “We’ll do the same thing everybody else does, we’ll get by the best we can.”

Biden says he’s considering a gas tax holiday
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday that he’s considering a federal holiday on the gasoline tax, possibly saving U.S. consumers as much as 18.4 cents a gallon.
“Yes, I’m considering it,” Biden told reporters after taking a walk along the beach near his vacation home in Delaware. “I hope to have a decision based on the data — I’m looking for by the end of the week.”
The administration is increasingly looking for ways to spare the public from higher prices at the pump, which began to climb last year and surged after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Gas prices nationwide are averaging just under $5 a gallon, according to AAA.
Gas tax holiday ‘worth considering,’ treasury secretary saysBiden said members of his team were to meet this week with CEOs of the major oil companies to discuss rising oil prices. Biden lashed out at oil companies, saying they are making excessive profits when people are feeling the crunch of skyrocketing costs at the pump and inflation. But Biden said he would not be meeting the oil executives himself.
“I want an explanation for why they aren’t refining more oil,” Biden said.
The Biden administration has already released oil from the U.S. strategic reserve and increased ethanol blending for the summer, in additional to sending a letter last week to oil refiners urging them to increase their refining capacity. Yet those efforts have yet to reduce price pressures meaningfully, such that the administration is now considering a gas tax holiday. Taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel help to pay for highways.
The Penn Wharton Budget Model released estimates Wednesday showing that consumers saved at the pump because of gas tax holidays in Connecticut, Georgia and Maryland. The majority of the savings went to consumers, instead of service stations and others in the energy sector.
Gas prices are high now, but they’ve been worse before: Here’s whenIn an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed an openness to a federal gas tax holiday to give motorists some relief.
Strolling on the beach with his daughter Ashley, granddaughter Naomi, and his granddaughter’s fiancé, Biden stopped frequently to chat with beachgoers who were spending the Juneteenth federal holiday at the beach.
He took a moment to offer assurances about inflation — the consumer-price index increased to a nearly 40-year high of 8.6% in May from the same month a year ago — and growing warnings from economists that a recession may be around the corner.
“We’re going to get though this, guys,” Biden told one group of beachgoers.
Last week, the Federal Reserve stepped up its drive to tame inflation by raising its key interest rate by three-quarters of a point — its largest increase in nearly three decades — and signaled more large rate increases to come.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that in his estimation, “the dominant probability would be that by the end of next year we would be seeing a recession in the American economy.”
Biden said he spoke with Summers, who served as treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, on Monday morning.
“There’s nothing inevitable about a recession,” Biden said.

Police are investigating a shooting involving ex-Mongols bikie Suleiman “Sam” Abdulrahim in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Sources have told The Age that Abdulrahim was shot as he left a funeral, before driving himself to Fawkner police station where an ambulance was called.
He was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class four-wheel-drive with bullet holes in the front driver’s side window has been surrounded with police tape outside the police station.
Ambulance Victoria said paramedics were called to an incident in Hadfield about 12pm on Saturday.
“Paramedics treated one person at the scene who has been taken to hospital in a critical condition,” Ambulance Victoria said in a statement.
A crime scene has been set up outside the Fawkner police station on Sydney Road in Hadfield, 15 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD.
Detectives are also scouring the corner of Box Forest Road and Sydney Road in Hadfield, less than 2 kilometres north of the police station.
The police helicopter has also been deployed.
More to come.

St. John the Baptist, St. Elizabeth and the Dobbs Decision
John the Baptist and his mother teach us how to react to the overturn of Roe and Casey.
June 24, if it were not the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart for most American Catholics, would be the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist — and indeed, in some places both feasts are celebrated together. It is also, providentially, now the day of the overturn of Roe and Casey, due to the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Poor St. John, of “he must increase, I must decrease” fame, occasionally gets overshadowed by the Sacred Heart, due to his natal feast being near the end of June; but in this case the occlusion is fortuitous, and serves as a reminder of what St. John was all about.
We tend to think of St. John as a bit crazy. Whether he’s played by the aged-but-still-hulking Charlton Heston who dunks Roman soldiers in the water or by an equally-frenetic but much smaller David Amito (who really does look like he lives on grasshoppers), John the Baptist is a nut: unapproachable, unlikeable, unrelatable.
What we sometimes forget is that St. John, like Jesus himself, simply combined what we think of as contradictory things and in so doing showed their unity. St. John railed against hypocritical religious authorities and lewd rulers, but he also was an advocate for justice who accepted sinners and foreigners for his baptism, on the condition that they stopped injuring others by their sins (Luke 3:10-14). And when people encountered this near-unique combination of mildness and sternness, of justice and mercy, they had a rational reaction: “All were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ” (Luke 3:15).
John’s heart is, in other words, so conformed to the Christ whose forerunner he is that he is stern with those who require sternness, and mild towards those who require mildness. His concern is not what others may think of him, nor for some notion of consistency as the world understands it: he meets people where they are, while simultaneously not swerving an inch from what God would have of them.
One presumes that John learned this — what part of it was learned humanly, and not directly from the Holy Spirit — from his parents. St. Elizabeth his mother shows just this combination of mildness and firmness shortly after his nativity.
“And it came to pass,” Luke writes, “that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary. And his mother answering, said: ‘Not so; but he shall be called John.’ And they said to her: ‘There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name’” (Luke 1:59-61).
The single-mindedness of Elizabeth is astonishing. Here she is, a new mother, surrounded by her relatives; they start offering advice, as relatives are wont to offer new moms. And Elizabeth, like most new moms — especially one who is older and has no doubt seen friends have their own babies — is filled with a singular mixture of confidence and doubt. On the one hand, she’s certainly done her research and therefore knows what she needs to do. On the other hand, the experience of giving birth is so overwhelming that it turns expectations upside down and can make one doubt what one already knows.
So here is Elizabeth, in this state that most mothers can recall fairly vividly. And then her relatives start questioning — of all things — what to name her son. Imagine her frustration! And her fear. For it is not only that she and Zachary have discussed and decided on the matter already; it is worse than that: it has been prophesied that the child shall be called John; God’s messenger has said so. To call him anything else would seem a rebuke, a rejection of God’s promises, that both holy and servile fear would dictate against. God’s purposes will not be thwarted: the Messiah would come, whether or not these too-helpful relatives get their way here and now; and God surely would not continue Zachary’s punishment because of some other persons’ mistake.
Still, these are the moments when, humanly speaking, it is easy to forget that God is in command of the situation; it is easy, humanly speaking, to become upset with kindly people who (though they may not know it) are thwarting our best purposes or (worse yet!) what we have discerned with some certainty as God’s will.
There is no record of whether or not Elizabeth got flustered in the moment. One rather suspects that her silence, like that of her cousin Mary the Mother of God, is to be taken as an indication of her calm resolve. Presumably she stood her ground in some way and did not surrender to the relatives’ facially reasonable protestations; perhaps she herself refers the matter to Zachary, or perhaps the relatives, frustrated by her stubbornness, do so. In any case, “they made signs to his father, how he would have him called” (Luke 1:62).
Zachary of course backs his wife up to the hilt (it’s his tongue, after all!) and writes “John is his name” (Luke 1:63). Not, “Sheesh, listen to my wife, will you?” or “Please, for the love of mud, call him John!” but once again, as in Elizabeth’s case, with a simple, single-minded stubbornness, he sticks to his (their) guns in the matter. He does not ask or demand that the name be given to the boy, but rather states that this is the boy’s name. Whatever happens at the circumcision, whatever legal name he is given, in the eyes of heaven the boy is a reminder of God’s graciousness: that is, essentially, who or what this herald of the Messiah is.
And the relatives, who evidently either do not know or do not believe in the story of Zachary and the angel, “all wondered” (John 1:63) — not at a miracle; there has been no miracle yet! They simply cannot understand Elizabeth’s and Zachary’s stance.
Then of course comes the miracle: Zachary speaks or, rather, Zachary prophesies — that is to say, the Holy Ghost speaks through him; and hearts and minds are changed.
That should be a reminder to all of us about how to act and speak, how to help and how to stay out of the way, what to say and when to keep silent in the wake of Dobbs. | https://www.ncregister.com/blog/st-john-the-baptist-st-elizabeth-and-dobbs | 2022-06-25T05:29:00Z | https://www.ncregister.com/blog/st-john-the-baptist-st-elizabeth-and-dobbs | false | 1 |
New Delhi, June 25: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday termed the 1975 emergency, which was declared 47 years ago, as a "dark chapter" in the history of the country.
"The imposition of emergency in India 47 years ago is such a dark chapter in the history of this country, which can never be forgotten. On this day, all Indians should not only dedicate themselves to the defence of democracy but should also take a pledge to maintain the dignity of the constitution and institutions," Singh tweeted.
आज से ४७ साल पहले भारत में आपातकाल का लागू होना, इस देश के इतिहास का ऐसा काला अध्याय है, जिसे कभी भूला नहीं जा सकता।
आज के दिन सभी भारतवासियों को लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के प्रति न केवल स्वयं को समर्पित करना चाहिए बल्कि संविधान और संस्थाओं की गरिमा बनाए रखने का भी संकल्प लेना चाहिए।
— Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) June 25, 2022
Emergency was declared for a 21-month period from 1975 to 1977 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Officially issued by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed under Article 352 of the Constitution due to the prevailing "internal disturbance", the Emergency was in effect from June 25, 1975, until its withdrawal on March 21, 1977. Sinha Reaches out to PM Modi, Rajnath Singh to Seek Support for Presidential Polls.
The order vested upon the then Prime Minister the authority to rule by decree, allowing elections to be suspended and civil liberties to be curbed. The final decision to impose an Emergency was proposed by Indira Gandhi, agreed upon by the President, and thereafter ratified by the Cabinet and the Parliament (from July to August 1975), based on the rationale that there were imminent internal and external threats to the Indian state. The Emergency is considered to be one of the most controversial periods of independent India's history.

Editor’s note: Here are remarks shared by Congresswoman Alma Adams on June 24 regarding Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Today is a sad day. The Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.
I’m thankful to Congresswoman Deborah Ross, Congresswoman Kathy Manning, my dear friend Calla Hales of A Preferred Women’s Health Center, and all of my colleagues on the call for taking the time out to talk about one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our lifetimes.
First, for those of you in the state of North Carolina, let me say loudly and clearly: Abortion care is still legal today in the State of North Carolina. Let me repeat that: Abortion care is still legal today in the State of North Carolina as well as many other states.
However, this abhorrent ruling doesn’t end with abortion. Justice Alito writes in his opinion that overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey should be used to invalidate the entire idea of a right to privacy and leads Justice Thomas to saying we should reconsider Obergefell, Griswold, and Lawrence. That means this Supreme Court is comfortable overturning the constitutional right to Marriage Equality, the right to use contraceptives, and the very right for same-sex couples to have relationships.
So I’m angry. I’m angry as Hell today. Because this decision is fundamentally wrong.
This decision will affect everyone, but the impact will fall hardest on who already face barriers to care: Black and Brown women, those who live in rural areas or have lower incomes and can’t afford to cross state lines for care, young people and LGBTQ people, and women in abusive relationships.
These five justices were appointed by two presidents who lost the popular vote. Yet, they have overturned what was a 7-2 decision in 1973, a decision that 69% of Americans across the political spectrum support today and that Americans have considered settled for half a century.
The Supreme Court has now greenlit forced pregnancy, taking away freedom for pregnant people to make this intensely personal decision for themselves, and given it away to politicians.
Every situation and every pregnancy is different. We should trust people, not politicians, to make their own decisions about their health and their lives.
The court's majority has no respect for other precedents that have been won in recent decades: the right to interracial and same-sex marriage, the right of queer people to exist in public, the right to contraception, and more.
House Democrats have passed bills to protect LGBTQ rights and abortion rights, as well as to end discriminatory insurance coverage bans on abortion to expand access — but all have been blocked by Republicans in the Senate. Those Senators who voted no have an obligation to reconsider their decision.
We clearly need not just a Democratic majority, but a clear pro-choice majority in the Senate, as we do in the House.
This decision doesn’t change the fact that abortion is still health care, and people will still need to access it. It’s now going to be a state-by-state fight to get people the care that they need.
Despite this disastrous decision, we will continue to work in Congress for reproductive justice and equality, and enshrine the bodily autonomy of women and parents in the law.
We need to reform the filibuster, so a Jim Crow procedure is not standing in the way of action to protect people’s human rights.
Let’s continue to take this righteous anger to the streets and to the voting booths.
We need to protect abortion providers and support patients and organizers who are working to get our neighbors the care they need
At home in North Carolina, our governor must continue to protect and expand access to abortion, so no one is denied the health care they need, and so we can serve as a haven for those who will come from other states.
I will work with legislators and advocates to fight any proposal from the North Carolina General Assembly that uses this ruling as an opportunity to turn back the clock for women. | https://www.thecharlotteweekly.com/mmhweekly/adams-on-supreme-court-ruling-this-decision-is-fundamentally-wrong/article_557e3bd8-f3e5-11ec-a50d-27c31ebfe16c.html | 2022-06-25T05:38:23Z | https://www.thecharlotteweekly.com/mmhweekly/adams-on-supreme-court-ruling-this-decision-is-fundamentally-wrong/article_557e3bd8-f3e5-11ec-a50d-27c31ebfe16c.html | false | 1 |

OSLO, Norway (AP) — Two people were killed and more than a dozen injured early Saturday in a mass shooting in Norway’s capital, Oslo, police said, as the city was gearing up for an annual Pride parade.
The shooting happened outside a downtown Oslo bar that is popular among the city’s LGBTQ community, witnesses and local media said.
A suspect was arrested and police don’t believe any other people were involved, police spokesman Tore Barstad said.
Barstad said the motive was not immediately known and it wasn’t clear whether the shooting had any connection to the Pride parade that was to be held Saturday in Oslo.
“Police are in contact with the organizers of the Pride event this Saturday. There will be a continuous assessment of what measures police should take to protect that event and whether this incident has a connection to Pride at all,” Barstad told reporters.
He said 14 people were receiving medical treatment, eight of whom have been hospitalized.
Olav Roenneberg, a journalist from Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, said he witnessed the shooting.
“I saw a man arrive at the site with a bag. He picked up a weapon and started shooting,” Roenneberg told NRK. “First I thought it was an air gun. Then the glass of the bar next door was shattered and I understood I had to run for cover.”
Norwegian media said the shots were fired outside the London Pub, which describes itself as the most popular gay bar in Oslo since it opened in 1979.
“The shooting outside London Pub in Oslo tonight was a cruel and deeply shocking attack on innocent people,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a Facebook post.
He said that while the motive was unclear, the shooting had caused fear and grief in the LGBTQ community.
“We all stand by you,” Gahr Stoere wrote.
Christian Bredeli, who was at the bar, told Norwegian newspaper VG that he hid on the fourth floor with a group of about 10 people until he was told it was safe to come out.
“Many were fearing for their lives,” he said. “On our way out we saw several injured people, so we understood that something serious had happened.”
Norwegian broadcaster TV2 showed footage of people running down Oslo streets in panic as shots rang out in the background.
Oslo Pride organizers said they were in close contact with the police.
“We are shocked and saddened by the tragic incident, and we are following it closely,” Oslo Pride said in a Facebook statement. “Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.”
Norway is a relatively safe country but has experienced violent attacks by right-wing extremists, including one of the worst mass shootings in Europe in 2011, when a gunman killed 69 people on the island of Utoya after setting off a bomb in Oslo that left eight dead.
In 2019, another right-wing extremist killed his stepsister and then opened fire in a mosque but was overpowered before anyone there was injured. | https://www.abc4.com/news/international-news/ap-international/norwegian-police-say-2-killed-in-mass-shooting-in-oslo/ | 2022-06-25T06:02:45Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/international-news/ap-international/norwegian-police-say-2-killed-in-mass-shooting-in-oslo/ | true | 3 |

Netherlands boss Parsons singles out England as Euros favourites
June 25 (Reuters) - Netherlands manager Mark Parsons said England are favourites to win the Women's European Championship because of the depth of their squad, the strength of the Women's Super League (WSL) and the support of a home crowd.
England secured a thumping 5-1 victory over the Netherlands in a warm-up match on Friday, with substitute Beth Mead scoring twice in a dominant second-half display.
"England will be favourites in the Euros," Parsons told reporters. "The quality of players, the home crowd, the resources the WSL has been putting in, the work the clubs have been doing -- it all comes together and it's very hard to see they're not favourites."
Parsons also highlighted the influence of England coach Sarina Weigman and assistant coach Arjan Veurink, who were both part of Netherlands' backroom staff when they won the Euros in 2017.
"They're very, very good," Parsons said. "I think opponents watching the last 30 minutes will be worried. You have a top, top coach that's been there and won it. Arjan and Sarina are doing some strong work."
England, twice runners-up at the Euros, kick off their campaign with a match against Austria at Old Trafford on July 6 before facing Norway and Northern Ireland.

When you see your unfolded laundry piled up on an unmade bed — or perhaps tucked away in a corner of your room — you probably don’t automatically notice the artistic beauty in the haphazard randomness of textured cloth and colors.
Artist Sofie Ramos would likely view the heap of clothes in a slightly different way.
Ramos — who is based in San Francisco and Los Angeles — epitomizes the adage of “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” with her colorful creations that speak to both the bounty and the burden.
Items that would otherwise end up in a landfill make their way into her vibrant installations, that are unapologetically maximalist, bright and strangely charming.
In “Year of the Flood,” a stop-motion video that is displayed at her latest contribution at BMoCA, nostalgia oozes from a stack of objects that commands attention. Viewers can see the evolution and build of her creation that features a Disney’s “Pocahontas” pillowcase, a backpack, heart-shaped balloons, cotton-ball rain clouds, an umbrella and so much more.
A small bookcase is piled high with blankets, vintage suitcases and a full duffle bag adorned with shiny gift-wrap bows. Although a thick coat of blue paint generously covers much of the mismatched items, other pops of color stand out in the sea of indigo.
At one point in the video, a red ladder — adorned with a pink boxing glove — springs up from the bulky heap. The sight of this manages to echo a theme of resilience, a keep on keepin’ on visual metaphor.
Ramos has repurposed the materials found in this stop-motion video for a fresh installation at BMoCA.
“I packed all the objects up from that and shipped them over here to make a new version,” Ramos said. “I never make the same installation twice, but it is all the same objects and still uses the underwater theme. It’s much different in their space than it was in my studio.”
Brilliantly blending the familiar with a dreamlike aesthetic, Ramos is an architect of play, whimsy and fantasy.
Barbells, suitcases, working clocks and bed frames have shown up in her Lisa Frank-esqe palette offerings.
These are the surreal spaces sure to coax out your inner child. Her use of pool noodles and trampolines may just transport onlookers to carefree days of youth.
At times, her inviting and offbeat slices of life are reminiscent of an elevated version of a DIY fort a child would construct by slinging blankets over a chair or two, with some taking on the look of a bouncy castle.
There’s a palpable freedom in her immersive vignettes that manage to elicit cheer and a celebratory essence.
The way pieces are juxtaposed against each other often defies gravity. It isn’t uncommon to see a chair on its side propping up a hodgepodge of stuff that looks as though one slight touch could result in it all tumbling down.
Ramos has set up installations in gardens and galleries throughout the country, bringing joy to unexpected spaces.
In her Instagram profile, Ramos has the phrase ‘like life but brighter.’ And brightness is exactly what radiates from these jovial offerings. It’s like interior design gone rogue.
We caught up with the California creative to find out more about her intriguing creations, what she hopes viewing them ignites in onlookers and more.
Kalene McCort: What sparked your interest in this sort of installation work? Have you always been a collector, drawn to stuff?
Sofie Ramos: I love trash, and I want to save and reuse everything, always have. I have been able to do this through these paintings in space that use objects/garbage as a way to make marks and create new, more vivid and intense worlds.
KM: Your pieces are so layered. Do you often hit up yard sales and thrift stores to find your materials?
SR: I prefer when people give me their old things, but I love a good thrift store.
KM: What are you hoping viewers take away from your work?
SR: I hope people are inspired to both make things themselves and salvage their own old objects. I also don’t mind when viewers come away questioning where the art ends and what qualifies as art.
KM: Before starting, do you have an idea of what shape you want to construct or do your installations evolve organically as you pile up pieces?
SR: I prefer to improvise and incorporate each specific space into a new site-specific piece. Check out my stop-motion video in the show — “Year of the Flood” — to see my process and the evolution of a space over time.

This day will bring a few obvious examples of why the universe is not our friend. How this works is like this: You'll attempt something, and you will think this is your best work; someone will tell you it's terrible, and you'll be upset.
The upset will turn to anger, and in your anger, you'll ignore all advice and put out the same 'terrible' product again, with the same reaction from those around you. Anger rules the day and turns your actions into rebellions, all of which you lose out to.
In other words, you can't win today. You'll want to.

You'll try but today isn't about getting your way at all. It's about thinking you're right, ignoring the parameters, and getting penalized for doing it all the wrong way.
The moon's conjunction with Uranus is the transit that rules rebellion and emotional response; you are all fight, and nothing to back it up. You'll challenge anyone who disturbs your ideal, yet you still won't get your way.
And so, today isn't going to be all that great for three signs of the Zodiac, simply because it's hard to be turned down for doing something you think is top-notch that everyone around you thinks is trash.
Who the heck are these people to judge your hard work? Well, they may not be anybody, but that's not going to stop them from condemning your efforts anyway. As I said, you can't win today. Maybe tomorrow? Could be.

Taurus, Virgo, and Aquarius are three zodiac signs with rough horoscopes on Friday, June 24, 2022.
1. Taurus
(April 20 - May 20)
What really bugs you about today is that you know you're doing your best and that the work you do is not only excellent, it's rare — and should be respected. That's where things go wrong. Today's transit, moon conjunct Uranus in your zodiac sign, will put you in a situation where you are most obviously disrespected.
This will push your buttons like nobody's business, and knowing you, Taurus, you'll only be open with your opinion on the matter. You're not going to take this kind of disrespect, and your reaction will be hostile and provocative; you will challenge those around you to get into the 'ring' with you because you feel so irate that you can't let people get away with putting you down like this. How dare they!
You work so hard, and you get DISRESPECTED for your actions? Oh no, that's not happening on your watch. Today's moon conjunct Uranus ensures a hostile day filled with a moment of having to defend yourself.

2. Virgo
(August 23 - September 22)
There's someone at your workplace who isn't exactly fond of you, and you know it. You've always known it, but you had no idea just how vicious that person could be, and today, during moon conjunction Uranus, you may just find out. This person is bound to start an argument with you today simply to get your goat, and guess what?
Your goat will be gotten, so to speak, and you'll react like a tornado; they'll be lucky to survive your onslaught of flying words. You won't try to keep the peace or ignore what this person says. In fact, you'll overreact to such a degree that you will probably end up deserving to be disliked even more by this person.

Where things go wrong is that the other people in your work environment will side with the person who doesn't like you. You'll again be in a situation where all you feel is disrespected, trod upon, and taken advantage of.

3. Aquarius
(January 20 - February 18)
If there's one thing you really detest, it's having your choice taken away from you. During moon conjunction Uranus, that's exactly what's going to happen. You have some obvious boundaries, one of which will be crossed today by someone you are close to. They will take it upon themselves to make a decision that concerns you — but they won't ask you for your approval.
They'll simply go ahead and instate this option. You will freak out because you don't want to be signed up for anything, and how dare they do this to you!? You will rebel against their efforts by not showing up for whatever they have in mind for you.
Your lack of presence will be read as disrespect, and your relationship with this person will start to unravel. Don't they know by now that you don't take away Aquarius' choice? Did you not send the memo? Actually, you did. They just didn't listen.

DALLAS (AP) — The largest pilots union has approved a contract that would boost the pay of pilots at United Airlines by more than 14% over the next 18 months, potentially clearing the way for similar wage hikes throughout the industry.
The deal reflects the leverage currently held by unions, with the industry facing a pilot shortage that has resulted in cancellations worldwide and fewer flights.
The Air Line Pilots Association said Friday that the council overseeing relations with United approved a tentative two-year agreement that covers about 14,000 of the airline’s pilots.
The contract would need to be ratified by rank-and-file pilots to take effect. Voting will run through July 15.
United CEO Scott Kirby called the deal an industry-leading contract that would help both the union and the airline.
United, based in Chicago, is the first major U.S. airline to reach an agreement with its pilots since negotiations across the industry were put on hold because of the pandemic. Union groups at other big airlines have been watching the United contract talks closely as a potential guide in their own negotiations.
Federal law creates a long and difficult process before airline workers can legally go on strike, but pilots at the big airlines have picketed airports and other locations to pressure management into bigger pay hikes. Pilots have complained that thinly staffed airlines are asking them to work too many flights, with more pilots reporting fatigue.
The United contract, which the union valued at $1.3 billion over two years, would be retroactive to the start of 2022 and give three pay raises totaling more than 14.5% through the end of next year. The union said it includes better overtime and premium pay, a new retirement plan, a new 8-week paid maternity leave benefit and improved scheduling provisions.
The deal is likely to raise concern on Wall Street about rising expenses. Airlines have already seen their costs per seat rise more sharply as travel has rebounded from the worst of the pandemic.
JPMorgan airline analyst Jamie Baker said the deal probably exceeds United’s previous expectations for rising costs. He said pilots at Alaska, American, Delta and Southwest will use the United tentative agreement in their negotiations, and that other work groups at United will seek similar increases to those of the pilots. | https://www.wate.com/news/business/ap-business/pilots-in-line-for-big-raises-amid-global-travel-disruptions/ | 2022-06-25T06:26:10Z | https://www.wate.com/news/business/ap-business/pilots-in-line-for-big-raises-amid-global-travel-disruptions/ | false | 35 |
Feb. 2, 1975—June 24, 2022
GREENWICH — Brian Christopher “Buelly” Buell, 47, OFG (Originally from Greenwich) answered his last call on Friday, June 24, 2022 following a courageous battle with esophageal cancer.
He was born in Glens Falls, NY on February 2, 1975, to Jeffery and Maureen (O’Malley) Buell.
Brian lived and breathed firefighting, it was his passion. This became evident as a young child, as he loved the television show “Emergency!” He joined the Greenwich Fire Department Explorer Program at 14, where he began his service to his community and would eventually become the youngest Lifetime Member of the department. He worked his way up through the ranks and was currently deputy chief. He also was a New York state fire instructor. He would do anything for anyone who needed assistance.
The fireman’s creed was truly part of his soul, “When I am called to duty, God wherever flames may rage, give me strength to save a life, whatever be its age. Help me to embrace a little child before it’s too late or save an older person from the horror of that fate.” Brian always answered the call to serve, and he will be missed by many.
Brian graduated from Greenwich Central School in 1994. He worked at Curtis Lumber, DeCrescente Distributors, Washington County Department of Public Works, and the Village of Greenwich Department of Public Works, where he currently served as water treatment plant operator.
When he wasn’t at the firehouse, which was rare, he enjoyed his family, sitting on the porch of “2-9”, just spending time with friends, and taking random brewery tours with his wife and friends.
He was predeceased by his two infant sons, Dominick Warren Buell and Kain Gregory Buell.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his beloved, loving wife, Carrie (Brown) Buell; his children: Ryan (Morgan) Buell of Rensselaer, Stephen Buell of Greenwich, Rachel Witham of South Glens Falls and Bailey Buell of Queensbury; bonus children: Jayden Hughes and Chase Goldson; three grandchildren: Tucker and Maverick Buell and Layne Buell; his brother Daniel (Corrina “Edna”) Buell; two aunts; several cousins; and his brothers and sisters of the Greenwich Fire Department.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, June 27, 2022 at St. Joseph’s Church, Greenwich, NY. Burial will follow in the Greenwich Cemetery.
Family and friends may call from 2:00-7:00 p.m. on Sunday at Flynn Bros., Inc. Funeral Home, 80 Main St., Greenwich, NY 12834.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to the Greenwich Fire Department.
Online condolences and messages to the family may be made at www.flynnbrosinc.com. | https://poststar.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/brian-christopher-buelly-buell/article_02bf506f-f38b-5c4d-ba6a-f1a4e8cc0fbb.html | 2022-06-25T06:28:46Z | https://poststar.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/brian-christopher-buelly-buell/article_02bf506f-f38b-5c4d-ba6a-f1a4e8cc0fbb.html | false | 1 |

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Seattle manager Scott Servais saw Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout become the first player in MLB history to hit four game-winning home runs in a single series against his Mariners pitching staff last weekend.
With Trout coming up as the potential tying run in the eighth inning Friday night, he wasn't about to make another mistake.
On a night when Trout had already homered and drove in two runs, Servais intentionally walked the three-time AL MVP with one out and a 1-0 count in the eighth. Trout was left stranded when Andres Muñoz struck out Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh, and the Mariners held on for a 4-3 victory.
“That would have been a bad decision. We've learned a little bit,” said Servais about the late-game decision. “Andres did a nice job working around the edges, and then when we fell behind in the count, put him on base and make the other two guys try to get us.”
Julio Rodríguez homered and scored twice, Eugenio Suárez had three hits and an RBI, and Seattle won its fourth straight.
Jesse Winker also had three hits while Chris Flexen (3-8) went five-plus innings to record his first victory since May 27.
Trout had a solo shot in the fourth inning — his sixth homer against the Mariners this season — and an RBI triple in the sixth. But for the most part Servais was happy with the way they limited the damage that Trout could do.
“He homered but there was no one on base which was huge," Servais said.
Rodriguez lined a curveball from Oliver Ortega just inside the foul pole in left field with one out in the fourth for a solo shot to extend Seattle’s lead to 3-0. He scored the Mariners' first run on a single by Suarez off Michael Lorenzen (6-5) in the first.
Suarez had two doubles and gave Seattle a 4-1 advantage in the sixth when he came home on Taylor Trammell's hit.
Paul Sewald retired the Angels in order in the ninth for his sixth save in eight opportunities.
Trout factored in all the Angels' runs. His fourth-inning homer to bring the Angels within 3-1 was his 22nd this season, which is tied for second in the majors. It was also the 53rd of his career against Seattle, which moved him past Rafael Palmeiro for most against the Mariners.
Trout added an RBI triple in the sixth inning when rookie center fielder Rodriguez misread the liner and had it go over his head before it rolled to the wall. Trout scored on Ohtani’s grounder to pull the Angels within a run.
“I don't know if there is a center fielder that makes that play. How do you defend it? It took another gear and a left turn there,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said.
FOR STARTERS
Flexen allowed three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks. It was the first time in 13 games a Seattle starter has allowed more than two runs.
Lorenzen labored for three innings. The right-hander gave up two runs on four hits and also walked four. He had five strikeouts but faced 18 batters. It is the first time in nine years a Halos' starter has thrown at least 85 pitches in the first three innings.
CENTURY MARK
Trout has 100 career extra-base hits against Seattle (36 doubles, 11 triples, 53 home runs), which is the most against the Mariners. Palmeiro and Trout were tied with 98 going into Friday.
WALK THIS WAY
Trout drew his 112th career intentional walk in the eighth inning, which ties him with Vladimir Guerrero for the most in franchise history.
LOTS OF TRAFFIC
The Mariners didn't go down in order all night and left 16 runners on base. The last time they stranded that many was Sept. 18, 2012, against Baltimore.
Seattle, which was 3 for 15 with runners in scoring position, left the bases loaded in the third and eighth innings.
A BIT OF REVENGE
Justin Upton, who was released in spring training after four-plus seasons with the Angels, had an RBI single in the third inning to extend Seattle's lead to 2-0.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Mariners: 1B Ty France underwent an MRI on his left arm. He was out of the lineup after being involved in a collision during Thursday's game at Oakland. France was taking the throw at the bag when he collided with Oakland’s Sheldon Neuse.
ROSTER MOVE
The Angels designated OF Juan Lagares for assignment and called up OF Monte Harrison. Lagares re-signed with the Angels on May 8 but was batting .183 in 20 games.
UP NEXT
Mariners: RHP Logan Gilbert (7-3, 2.28 ERA) is fourth in the AL and seventh in the majors in ERA.
Angels: LHP Patrick Sandoval (3-2, 2.70 ERA) allowed one run on four hits in six innings against the Mariners last Saturday.

Northern Sunrise County will be implementing a land acknowledgement before its meetings in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation.
But it will only occur once a year with wording to be determined.
Council agreed at its June 14 meeting to proceed with the acknowledgment. Reeve Carolyn Kolebaba stated as she did at a previous meeting that it should only occur once a year at the organizational meeting in October, not at each meeting.
Council agreed. Councillor Jason Javos said the acknowledgement “loses its meaning” and impact if repeated too many times.
A first motion by Councillor Gaylene Whitehead to read the acknowledgment at each meeting was defeated. A second motion to read at the organizational meeting passed.
Council was presented with three choices:
- “Northern Sunrise County acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 8 territory, the ancestral and present-day home to many diverse First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to work, live and learn on the traditional territory of the original caretakers of this land. We acknowledge the history of this land, and we are thankful for the opportunity to walk together in friendship, where we will encourage and promote positive change for present and future generations.”
- “I want to acknowledge that we are meeting on Treaty 8 territory, and we honour and acknowledge all of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples who have lived, traveled and gathered on these lands for thousands of years.”
- “I would like to acknowledge we are meeting today in Northern Sunrise County located within the ancestral and traditional territory of the Indigenous peoples of this area. This land has been and will continue to be home to the Cree, Dene, and other First Nations and of the Metis within the boundaries of Treaty 8.

Indian women face USA in three-nation U23 football event
The Indian women's football team will look to beef up its attack when it takes on USA in the second match of the three-nation U23 tournament at Laröds IP, Sweden on Saturday.
The Indian women's football team will look to beef up its attack when it takes on USA in the second match of the three-nation U23 tournament at Laröds IP, Sweden on Saturday. It was an injury-time goal which had spoilt India's broth and despite putting up a spirited effort, they lost 0-1 to Sweden in the opening match and the Suren Chettri-coached side will look to produce the goods against USA.
"If we want to win, we need to score," Chettri said in a release. "We will play the way we played against Sweden and focus on attacking more this time. "It was sad to lose the last game but the girls had put up their best effort against the number 2 in World FIFA ranking. We played a really good defending game, whatever skills we had we tried to show on the pitch and we will be doing the same tomorrow," he maintained. One of the players who stood firm for 90 minutes but conceded an injury-time goal was goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan.
"Aditi is an experienced player and she played a mature game last day. I would say she had put up all the effort for the team, but unfortunately, we lost," Chettri said. Aditi too looked to take the positives and vowed to come stronger on Saturday. "There are a lot of positives from the last game and the team is motivated to come back even stronger against USA," he said. "It was disappointing to concede in the last moment but everyone gave their best effort and I am proud of the girls. We understand the difference between the ranking and standard of the play, and hopefully, we will continue to perform well tomorrow as well."
Speaking about her own performance against Sweden, Aditi said, "I am really happy with my performance, and the game against Sweden was probably my best game so far. "As a senior player, this is a kind of performance you expect from yourself. I am happy that I could contribute to my team against a tough opponent." | https://thebridge.in/football/indian-women-usa-three-nation-u23-football-event-32709 | 2022-06-25T06:47:30Z | https://thebridge.in/football/indian-women-usa-three-nation-u23-football-event-32709 | false | 1 |

About BioVie Inc
BioVie Inc. is developing BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) an Orphan Drug candidate for the treatment of ascites due to advanced liver cirrhosis. First-to-market Orphan therapies typically receive 7 years of market exclusivity in the US for the designated use(s). It is being investigated as a potential new therapy for patients suffering from ascites, and future development opportunities include hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis. The initial disease target for BIV201 therapy is ascites, which is a serious complication of advanced liver cirrhosis. The Company has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial protocol that is summarized on www.clinicaltrials.gov, trial identifier NCT04112199. The FDA has never approved any drug specifically for treating ascites, and the Company is not aware of any competing drugs in late-stage development for ascites. The active agent in BIV201, terlipressin, is approved for use in about 40 countries for the treatment of related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis but is not available in the US or Japan. The Company has invented a patent-pending prefilled syringe that has been cleared for use in our upcoming Phase 2 trial subject to certain additional standard analytical tests. This novel BIV201 delivery system is expected to greatly simplify at-home patient treatment and improve patient compliance by enabling easy injection of the liquid concentrate into the IV bag connected to the infusion pump. Room temperature stability has been achieved for 9 months providing an important advantage because, to the best of the Company's knowledge, all other terlipressin products sold globally must be stored under refrigeration. The novel prefilled syringe format also avoids the manual mixing of minute (2 - 4 mg) quantities of terlipressin powder in saline solution, thereby reducing the possibility of dosing errors during reconstitution and improving sterility. BioVie has begun applying for global patent protection for this novel terlipressin delivery system. The Company has also received Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) and has FDA Fast Track status.

With the US Supreme Court overturning its 50-year-old landmark Roe v. Wade decision which granted women a constitutional right to abortion, tech companies have told employees that they can apply for "relocation without justification" and the firms will do everything to support employees and their dependents.
Google's chief people officer Fiona Cicconi sent an email to employees, saying that Googlers can "apply for relocation without justification" and that people in charge of the relocation process "will be aware of the situation" in assessing their requests.
"If you need additional support, please connect 1:1 with a People Consultant. We will be arranging support sessions for Googlers in the US in the coming days. These will be posted to Googler News," the letter read.
Microsoft told TechCrunch that it will "do everything (it) can under the law" to support its employees and their dependents in accessing healthcare regardless of where they live across the US.
Microsoft will continue to pay travel expense assistance for "lawful medical services" where access to care is "limited in availability in an employee's home geographic region".
Airbnb said that its "US healthcare coverage supports reproductive rights, and we have taken steps to ensure that our employees have the resources they need to make choices about their reproductive care".
Ride-hailing platform Lyft also expanded its funds to cover drivers in other states.
"We believe access to healthcare is essential and transportation should never be a barrier to that access. This decision will hurt millions of women by taking away access to safe and private reproductive healthcare services," a Lyft spokesperson was quoted as saying.
An Uber spokesperson said that the company "reiterated to employees that Uber's insurance plans in the US already cover a range of reproductive health benefits, including pregnancy termination and travel expenses to access healthcare".
"We will also continue to stand behind drivers, reimbursing legal expenses if any driver is sued under state law for providing transportation on our platform to a clinic," the company said.
Twitter has, however declined to comment.
Following the Supreme Court's decision on Friday, abortion rights will now be determined individually by the 50 states.
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have state laws protecting abortion and will remain unaffected by the Supreme Court order.
About 17 states do not have any explicit laws either upholding abortion rights or prohibiting abortion, according to one study and nearly half of all 50 states are expected to make abortion difficult or impossible.

Which Justices Voted to Overturn Roe {June} Read Here!
Do you know who voted against Roe in the right to abortion case? There has been a case for the right to abort after 15 weeks of pregnancy. People of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are extremely eager to know the results of the case. Unfortunately, most voters voted to uphold the law that seeks to ban abortion in 15 weeks, a contradiction set by Roe. Stay tuned to this article to know Which Justices Voted to Overturn Roe in this case.
Table of Contents
Why is the news on-trend?
There has been a constant debate about the ban on abortion in 15 weeks against the contradiction by Roe that allowed abortion in 24 weeks of pregnancy, where the fetus would almost be visible from outside the womb and survive outside the womb. To this report, six justices ruled in favor of sustaining the ban, but overall, the majority of the five judges led to the overtake of Roe Vs. Wade. The Justices who voted are Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barett, and others.
Which Justices Voted to Overturn Roe v Wade?
Chief Justice John Roberts supported the 6-3 majority and criticized the other five judges by mentioning that they were too far in their decision. The court’s decision to overrule Roe’s point of view would cause a serious effect on the legal system. Alito said that Roe and Casey must be overruled and that there was no decision or reference to abortion, and the constitution protects no such right. Further, Alito said that the reason was exceptionally weak and that it could cause serious damage to the entire judiciary.
Details of Which Justices Voted to Overturn Roe
The Supreme court’s decision overruled nearly 50 years of legalized abortion, and many people were unaware of who the judges were that helped the court reach this conclusion. First, the longest-serving Judge, Clarence Thomas, voted with his fellow mates. Still, later, he had a different opinion saying that it would affect many other things related to the matter, which put Alito to question him, that the decision is made solely on abortion of the fetus and is very unlikely that it would cause any harm to the other issues. So, in this article, we have answered Who Voted for Roe v Wade Overturn and requested people to go through the same.
Those unaware of the matter can read the full news here and know the whereabouts of the case.
Summing Up
The case has become one of the most famous cases, but still, many people do not know who the judges of the case are. The people recognized only Justice Thomas. We have tried to recognize all the judges with their names so that the public knows who is leading this case, answering Which Justices Voted to Overturn Roe.
What are your comments on the judges that are handling the case?

Elderly people with low incomes will now have an easier time when they apply for a free TV licence under new Government rule changes. There will now also be far less paperwork for those applying for a free licence.
Government reforms wish to reduce the "administrative burden" of applying for a free TV licence, with the system currently being that applicants must send in supporting documentation for their claim to the BBC. Now the BBC will be able to verify automatically if someone is eligible without them having to prove it themselves.
While it's likely to make things far more simple in the long run for many, it's not too far-fetched to assume there will be some administrative mistakes, and rather than filling out an application, people will need to know what the criteria is before applying, therefore our sister site BirminghamLive has rounded up below everyone who's entitled to a free TV licence.

Who's entitled to a free TV licence?
If you’re aged over 75 and you or your partner are in receipt of Pension Credit, you’re entitled to a free TV licence. Previously, all over-75s received a free TV licence, but this ended in July 2020 due to BBC budget cuts.
A standard colour TV Licence otherwise costs £159 a year and a black and white licence costs £53.50. If you are blind (severely sight impaired), you can apply for a 50 per cent concession.
The licence fee itself is expected to be scrapped in 2027, when the BBC’s current royal charter ends. Culture secretary Nadine Dorries has indicated that the broadcaster will need to find a new, as yet unspecified funding model after that date.
How to apply for a free TV licence
If you’re eligible, you can apply for a free TV licence online via the TV Licensing website. You can also request an application form by calling 0300 790 6117 between 8.30am and 6.30pm from Monday to Friday.
Under new reforms announced by the Government, applicants for a free TV licence will no longer need to produce documentation to prove their eligibility. Instead, the BBC will be able to verify with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) whether an application is valid.
"We want everyone to claim the benefits to which they are entitled, including Pension Credit which acts as a gateway for other benefits such as the free TV licence. This change will help reduce the administrative burden on over-75s and put their minds at ease," said pensions minister Guy Opperman.

With this year's World Cup in Qatar clouded by labor and human rights issues, there's a push for the North American cities awarded games for the 2026 tournament to commit to livable wages, equitable hiring and worker protection.
The Dignity 2026 coalition has brought together groups including the AFL-CIO, Human Rights Watch and the Independent Supporters Council to work with FIFA and the individual host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The coalition has met several times in the past few months with soccer's international governing body to discuss its commitment to these issues. With last week's announcement of the 16 cities that will host games, the effort has become more targeted.
They say FIFA is listening, but has not pledged to require minimum standards.
“That means looking at fair living wages, targeted local hiring, strong health and safety protections and agreements that make sure workers have a voice on the job. So we have given them about nine points that we would like to see implemented across all of the host cities. Because one of the things we have found is the cities haven’t gotten guidance about what the expectations are,” said Cathy Feingold, director of the international department at the AFL-CIO. “And so we think the best way to handle this is to make sure there are very clear binding frameworks that unify all of the host cities.”
FIFA did not respond to a request for comment.
This year's World Cup starts in November. Critics say the first World Cup in the Middle East is problematic because of Qatar’s history of human and labor rights abuses. There have been widespread reports of abuse of the migrant workers who have built the estimated $200 billion in projects that include stadiums, transport and other infrastructure.
Qatari officials and FIFA have said the World Cup has accelerated positive changes in the nation’s laws and society. And indeed, the nation has introduced a minimum wage and dismantled the “kafala” sponsorship system binding workers to their employer.
The U.S., Canada and Mexico bid for the World Cup included a 90-page plan to address human rights. Some of the groups in Dignity 2026 were involved in the plan's formulation.
“We know very well that what’s on paper, doesn’t always mean what’s put into practice. And so what we’ve come together to do is really translate that document that at this point is non-binding and make sure its implemented in the host cities," Feingold said.
Four years ago when the joint bid was awarded, there were concerns about the implications of then-President Donald Trump's orders barring travel to the United States from a number of Muslim-majority countries. Trump later assured FIFA that travel for the event would not be impeded, and President Joseph Biden subsequently overturned the orders.
Of rising concern are U.S. laws in some states targeting the LGBTQ community, including laws that impact transgender children and athletes, as well as measures that impact reproductive rights and voting access.
In Canada, the marginalization of indigenous communities is under scrutiny, while Mexico has struggled to reign in fans who use homophobic chants at soccer matches.
Dan Hunt, the president of FC Dallas and head of that city's bid committee, said the 2026 World Cup is unique because the stadiums already are in place, so there will not be massive construction projects. The Dallas area's bid centered around AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
Hunt said the Dallas committee incorporated human rights into its bid, including making sure the LGBTQ community has a voice. The bid committee was also concerned with sex trafficking that often occurs around big events, he said.
“There are things we’re going to have to focus on in regards to the workers here," Hunt said. “Worker safety is a major issue that every company faces. So more to come on that.”
Minky Worden, director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch, said the World Cup is a unique chance to shine a light on human and workers' rights and pave the way for change.
“The World Cup should not be a human rights horror show," Worden said. "We have the example of the World Cup in Russia — no LGBT rights, no workers rights, North Korean slave labor building the St. Petersburg stadium. We have the example currently of Qatar with no migrant worker’s rights, thousands dead, no LGBT rights, no women’s rights and by the way, no press freedom.
“So the idea is, for the love of God, can’t we do better?”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rookie right-hander Graham Ashcraft bounced back from two poor starts, pitching a career-high eight innings to help the Cincinnati Reds stop their seven-game losing streak Friday night with a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
Nick Senzel drove in two runs and Mike Moustakas scored twice to pace the Cincinnati offense.
Ashcraft (4-1) faltered only in the fourth inning, when Evan Longoria belted a two-out homer, and in the eighth — when Mike Yastrzemski lashed an RBI single. That followed a double-play comebacker Ashcraft induced from Tommy La Stella to dampen a potential Giants rally.
Hunter Strickland worked the ninth against his former team for his third save.
Ashcraft permitted six hits and walked none while striking out eight. He gave up 10 runs and 17 hits over 9 2/3 innings in his previous two starts.
Cincinnati opened the scoring with two runs in the second off starter Alex Cobb (3-3). Kyle Farmer reached on an infield single and scored on Moustakas’ double. Senzel also doubled to knock in Moustakas.
Senzel and Jonathan India executed a double steal to set up a run-scoring groundout by Donovan Solano in the fifth. That was the final run charged to Cobb, who went 4 1/3 innings. He allowed three runs, two earned, and five hits while walking one and striking out four.
Moustakas doubled again in the sixth off left-hander Jake McGee and came home on Senzel’s single.
FRESH ARM
San Francisco recalled RHP Yunior Marte from Triple-A Sacramento and optioned RHP Zack Littell to the same club.
Littell yielded three runs in four innings spanning his last two appearances, including a 40-pitch stint in the second one.
“Zack has pitched a lot for us, and this last outing was relatively taxing,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “I don’t think it’s any secret we want to be in a position to protect our bullpen, and today we felt we needed to get an arm on the roster that could give us two, two-plus innings if necessary.”
TRAINER'S ROOM
Reds: Placed RHP Jeff Hoffman on the injured list and recalled RHP Jared Solomon to fill his spot. ... LHP Nick Lodolo (low back strain) is scheduled to make his fourth rehab appearance Wednesday for Triple-A Louisville at Toledo. “He’s going to make one more start and then be back the first week of July as a starter with us,” manager David Bell said. “Around the 4th or 5th if everything goes well next time out."
Giants: SS Brandon Crawford returned to the lineup. He exited Tuesday’s game at Atlanta with a bruised left knee following a collision with catcher Travis d’Arnaud. ... OF LaMonte Wade Jr. went 2 for 5 with a double, a home run and two RBIs as the DH with Triple-A Sacramento in a rehab game Thursday. He was expected to play the outfield for seven innings Friday. “We’ve seen with LaMonte that we want him to feel confident in his performance and his health,” Kapler said. “And when we bring him back to the major league level, we want him to feel like he can do everything he needs to do on the baseball field without any restrictions. And so we’re going to be patient with that.”
UP NEXT
Reds LHP Mike Minor (1-3, 6.97 ERA) faces Giants RHP Logan Webb (6-2, 3.26) on Saturday.

We always have the opportunity to smile and make our day an opportunity to meet those aspects that, though insignificant, will give us great satisfaction when we go to sleep. Do you dare to connect with the bright side of life?
Fantastic, subjective, nomadic, that’s how we perceive it. We miss her every time we notice her absence. They say that happiness is a temporary state, but it is also a collection of eternal moments because, although limited, they cause impressions that last in us forever.
They say that no one can live happily for long, on the one hand, because of the pain we all experience throughout life, and on the other, because it is not easy to direct the large number of experiences we live in positively. Experiment on a daily basis.
We say we go across the world in search of happiness, but so often we have it at our fingertips, yet we can’t even glimpse this valuable potential clearly. Or are we not happy every time we rest under the shade of a big tree, when we put our bare feet on the grass or at those times we begin to walk aimlessly, despite our consciousness, to take on dimensions of ourselves and everything around us?
And even knowing the luxury that such experiences bring us, frankly: How many times a day do we practice them?
Learning to implement concrete practices for dignified living was one of the great themes on which all civilizations, particularly the Greek philosophers, reflected. Plato said about it: “It is self-knowledge that leads man to happiness,” referring to the need to integrate the mind with the soul, and in the same vein his student Aristotle had when he said: “Happiness depends only on ourselves.” The approach represents a gateway to deep communication and self-knowledge.
Epicurus also made the subject his own, but for him, besides being a personal endeavour, a universal mechanism had to be set in motion: keep it as bright as possible and not afraid of the coming of darkness, that always unexpected visitor who surreptitiously awaits. , crouching, even in the bright moments, waiting to enter the scene. “True happiness lies in mastering fear,” he thought.
What can make us happier?
Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, the fathers of positive psychology, studied the link between happiness and spirituality and concluded that belief in something greater than oneself provides a moral framework that becomes enduring emotional support, as it allows the creation of meaning, purpose, and hope. A study from the University of British Columbia, Canada, concluded that children who grow up in spirituality are happier, even when they do not practice it alongside a particular religion or go to any temple: “When they believe in the value of life, love of family, friendship and joy, boys are less a tendency to melancholy,” its authors say.
The joy of the heart is as deep as a magnet that points to the path of life, it was one of the great teachings that Mother Teresa of Calcutta left us.
Israeli researcher Tel Ben-Shahar, Ph.D. in psychology and philosophy from Harvard University, has developed a six-step guide for learning to celebrate life in every moment and in each of them there is a common denominator: the need to be whole in every moment. It is one of our actions and above all we choose to be thankful. To achieve this, he explains, it is necessary to put aside self-demand and simplify our way of living to the fullest, and accept the idea that nothing will last forever because our essence, like any other living being, is to move according to ever-changing laws.
For him, the important thing is to understand that our human universe is governed by lights and shadows, which are never final. “It is impossible to try to live without negative feelings, because they are part of life, and they are as natural as joy, happiness, and well-being. By accepting negative feelings, we will be able to open ourselves up to enjoy positivity and joy.” About the way we perceive ourselves and others.
Social media and (in) happiness
Perhaps it is modern man who must deal with the greatest challenge that humanity has faced in all of its history: to achieve the necessary discernment to find those little causes capable of making your days happy and not to be distracted by the little false mirrors of colour. It is provided by redundant information, material goods and technological innovations.
In fact, a study from Stanford University indicates that we would be much happier if we stopped using Facebook for at least a month. why? Because when analyzing the behavior of 2,844 people who entered a “breakaway mode,” they noticed less emotional impact in the way they began to perceive their fears and anxiety and to feel that they always lacked something to reach the goal. Expected wellness.
British writer Bertrand Russell in his book The Conquest of Happiness begins with the conviction that “many unhappy people can become happy if they make well-directed efforts.” The work is divided into two parts: causes of unhappiness and causes of happiness. To explain the first reason, Russell finds a few possible causes: competition, boredom, excitement, fatigue, and envy. As well as the feeling of sin, obsession with persecution, and fear of the opinion of others, aspects which, according to what he writes, must be eradicated from our events if what we seek is to be free beings in the full exercise of our destiny.
On the contrary, among the “reasons of happiness,” Russell refers to the first and main one: the need to break the barriers of our ego and meet with the other.
The question imposes itself in all its breadth: Is happiness a responsibility, a job, a practice, an opportunity…? The Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant declared “Happiness, more than desire or choice, is duty” when formulating a theory based on a moral imperative: to do good in order to be happy. Or, better to say, not to do what we consider morally wrong.
The apostle Paul says to the Galatians in his epistle: “Let us examine each one of his conduct, and so that he will be able to find in himself, and not in others, a reason to be satisfied.”
However, the question is as profound as it is special: How does this spark that embraces the body and soul ignite with its wonderful warmth in each? It is clear that there is no universal law to determine the happiness of every person on earth. But perhaps there is a common denominator for most of us: the attraction of emotions that allow us to experience our senses. Smells, textures, shapes, words, colours, flavors, sounds, caresses… There is no one who is not moved by the possibility that beauty can be found in any of these experiences, and even more so if they are shared (again, it is worth quoting Aristotle: “Man is a social being by nature.”
Only that, to achieve this fullness, it will be necessary to deactivate the threads that weave unexplained disappointments in our minds, and only disgust for it. Instead, we can feel sad or nostalgic from time to time and that’s also what makes us human. But we must not lose sight of the fact that the present moment gives us innumerable answers to all the great doubts that attack us daily. Why and why are we in this world? What is our real goal? When, how, with whom and why do I feel happy?
Perhaps we don’t know right away, because the existential adventure is as rich and special as the soul of each person. However, there is an exercise that must be learned early on: formulating questions correctly enables us to detect and accept lights and shadows. This, they say, is the path to wisdom (that which lasts a lifetime). Happy trip!

Young brass musicians could soon be playing in far flung parts as a Northamptonshire-based award-winning brass band takes to the road for concerts at home and abroad.
Youth Brass 2000, Premier Section National Youth Champion Brass Band of Great Britain for the past seven years, is on the lookout for players to join their group.
Welcoming brass players of all abilities, up the the age of 19, the Chairman of Youth Brass 2000, Don Collins, is eager to recruit more teenagers for their trip to Italy later this year and to Sweden in 2023.
He said: “You might imagine that the waiting list to join Youth Brass 2000 would be very, very long but you would be very, very wrong. Like most brass bands at the moment, recruitment is challenging.
“Because of the band’s totally independent status, there are no natural feeder channels into the band - no senior band connections, no music hub connections, no school or natural community links, plus being in the East Midlands, we`re not exactly in the middle of brass banding territory.”
Mr Collins thinks that the band’s success might be off-putting.
He said:” Maybe young players are deterred by the band’s amazingly high profile and national and international successes and presume the entry standards are incredibly difficult.
"We have no entry requirements at all, just full commitment. To be fair, we have managed to attract many young brass players from far and wide.
"Who wouldn’t enjoy the fabulous concerts we play plus all the major contests we participate in? We are currently National Youth Champions, The Brass in Concert Youth Champions, The British Open Youth Champions, 4 Bars Rest Youth Band of the Year and Butlins Premier Section Youth Champions.”
Any new members could look forward to an annual tour, this year to Lake Garda in Italy, and would be able to represent England in the Premier Section of the European Youth Championships in Malmo, Sweden in May 2023.
The group are keen to point out they are set up with a safeguarding and a team of registered licensed chaperones.
Mr Collins said: “For reassurance to any parents of prospective new members, the band is a fully constituted registered charity with a fully elected non-paid committee. We are all DBS checked, plus we have five registered licensed chaperones and the full complement of a fully-trained safeguarding team.
“Financially, we don’t receive any Arts Council or any other external funding. We have no major sponsor but we do try very hard to keep costs down so being part of Youth Brass 2000 won’t break the bank.
“It`s been a difficult couple of years for everyone, but we at YB2K are really working hard to keep this part of our British heritage alive and kicking.”
Formed in 1989 from the embers of the Rigid Containers Youth Band founding leader Eddie Pain, set out to form the ‘best youth band in the world’.
The band rehearse at Wilbarston Village Hall.

BOSTON — Not too long ago, draft night always seemed to give the Celtics a significant chance to reshape their roster. On Thursday night, Brad Stevens felt comfortable leaving the core of his team alone.
For the second consecutive year, the Celtics had a quiet draft night after trading away their first-round pick in an earlier deal. With every rotation player from an NBA Finals team under contract for next season, Stevens indicated that he felt no pressure to look for a player who would make an immediate impact. Though Stevens said he looked into the possibility of moving up from the Celtics’ position in the second round, he stayed put at No. 53 and drafted J.D. Davison, a 19-year-old guard out of Alabama.
“Tonight was about finding somebody that we could invest in,” Stevens said, “that we could put a lot of time into, that we could help grow in their young career and hopefully help them — help J.D. in particular, but whoever we picked in that spot — get better and really start their career off on the right foot with an investment from the staff and the organization for the long term. We weren’t looking for anyone necessarily that was going to come in and change the game for our team at 53.”
Davison can fly. Even at 6-foot-3, he has a history of soaring blocks. As Stevens said, “All you have to do is turn on a couple of minutes of clips and you can see the upside.” It won’t even take that long. Just check out when Davison challenged Walker Kessler, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. The Timberwolves selected Kessler with the 22nd pick because of how well he protects the rim, but Davison unfurled an extremely loud dunk onto the 7-footer’s head:
Despite highlights like that, it also doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes to discover why Davison slipped into the late second round. After entering college as ESPN’s 15th-ranked recruit in his class, the teenager averaged 8.5 points per game during his lone season at Alabama. He shot just 30.1 percent from the 3-point arc and committed 4.5 turnovers per 40 minutes. The Athletic’s draft expert, Sam Vecenie, wrote in his NBA Draft guide that Davison is “just lacking in terms of his skill level and his feel for the game” at this point of his career. Vecenie believed Davison “made a substantial mistake” leaving for the NBA after his freshman year. He obviously needs some seasoning.
The Celtics still think Davison has a foundation they can build upon. In their situation, with a playoff rotation full of returners plus tools like a big traded-player exception to chase additional help, they aren’t worried about what Davison will provide during his rookie season. Stevens believes the Celtics are “in a position roster-wise where we can focus on the development of a young player or two.” In other words: The rotation is already full, the bench could be even deeper next season, and whoever takes the 14th or 15th roster spot probably won’t see much time on the court. In all likelihood, Davison will be groomed far away from the public eye early in his career.
“Barring anything crazy here, he’s not going to have a ton of pressure to come in and impact us right away or move the needle for us right away,” Stevens said. “He’ll be able to compete for minutes just like anybody else. At the same time, he can grow, develop, focus his attention on improving. I think that’s really an important place to be for a young player. We got a really good team. He’ll be able to put some heat on us with his speed on both ends of the floor that I’m looking forward to.”
Before selecting Davison, the Celtics did look into draft-day trade possibilities, according to Stevens. He considered the price to move up “just too much.” He noted that it “didn’t make much sense” to deal “significant players on our team” or future draft assets the Celtics could potentially offer alongside one of their traded-player exceptions.
“That was one of the things about tonight,” Stevens said. “We wanted to make sure we were smart about all of our future assets and not shifting our team without very, very obvious moves that would help us. Those things didn’t present themselves so we will stay at it to see if we can find some things to help improve us.”
Stevens has said he would like to target additional scoring and playmaking this offseason. He has a number of traded-player exceptions, including one worth about $17.1 million, that could be valuable pieces. The Celtics should also have the taxpayer midlevel exception to use in free agency. After reaching the finals, they could even be a possible landing spot for ring-chasing veterans willing to accept a minimum deal.
“We’ve known who fits into our trade exception and who we might be able to target around the league and have discussions about (it),” Stevens said. “It really comes down to cost. If the costs are appropriate, you continue discussions, and if they are not, you table it for now and maybe return to those later. At the end of the day, trade exceptions are a tool, but it’s not our only avenue. I think we’ve got the ability to do some small things in free agency with the taxpayer midlevel and the ability to add minimums. If that (bigger trade exception vanishes) because we don’t find the right deal, we still have two other TPEs to use towards the trade deadline.”
The decisions on how to use those roster tools will come later. On draft night, the Celtics added a young, explosive guard with a chance to become a contributor one day. Stevens said the Celtics weren’t able to see Davison in a draft workout, but they spent plenty of time scouting him in person this year. Stevens attended one of Davison’s practices at Alabama, just one of the times the Celtics front office was able to evaluate him live.
“We saw several games live as a staff,” Stevens said. “So we’re very well versed in who he is and what he brings to the table and also what he’s got to work on. But the most important thing right now is how do we help him transition smoothly? This is a big life moment for him, and then in a couple of days you’re on a plane to Boston and in a whole new place. And how do we help him really start off on the right foot? I can’t wait to get him in Summer League practice and get him going.”
In Summer League, Davison will play alongside recent Celtics second-round draft picks Yam Madar and Juhann Begarin, who both played overseas this past season. Davison’s athleticism should stand out regardless of who’s on the court with him.
“Very young, very explosive, that’s pretty obvious,” Stevens said. “He has the ability to get inside the paint and make plays and has some things that he’ll have to improve on, but has a lot of physical tools. A good competitor. And obviously, I think, played in a really good program for really good coaches. And so we’re looking forward to getting him up to Boston.”

How The CCP Is Stalling China’s Legal System – Analysis
By Meng Ye*
Amid the global ‘democratic recession’ and new trend of ‘autocratic legalism’, Xi Jinping’s China is a prime example of how strengthening the law and legal institutions can occur not merely in conjunction with deepened authoritarianism, but in service of it.
The notorious removal of Xi’s term limit came in the form of a constitutional amendment, along with the formal enshrinement of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) leadership. Some interpret this as adding weight to the constitution — and legality in general — within Chinese governance.
The Supreme People’s Court continues to play a vital role in the unification of law interpretation. Local courts are eager to show their innovative applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in reducing the arbitrariness of rulings. They are supposedly less prone to ‘illegitimate’ interventions under increasingly systematised and ‘legitimate’ political control by the Party.
Barriers to administrative litigation cases have allegedly been alleviated by the new case registration system introduced in 2015, while structural reforms to local courts have further curtailed local government influence over the judiciary. Some local courts have even been able to constrain government decisions on land disputes through protest-driven litigation.
None of these cases occurred to the detriment of the Communist Party’s authority over the judiciary. They have instead appeared during a period in which the Party’s ideological and political control over virtually all state institutions has become ever more stringent.
With an increasingly professionalised judiciary — relatively autonomous in its decision-making yet subordinate to the regime — capable of handling vast disputes, it is as if Xi’s China is demonstrating to fellow autocrats how it is ‘properly’ done. But are we truly seeing a real-world reconciliation of deepened authoritarianism with some form of ‘rule of law’?
A closer look reveals a much more nuanced picture. While the sheer volume of administrative cases increased by over 50 per cent upon the introduction of the new system in 2015, the growth rate was not unreasonably high considering the total number of all case types increased by over 40 per cent in the same period. After 2015, the growth rate for administrative cases dropped down to 13.2 per cent, while that of all cases ..
The new system does not seem to have increased public access to administrative litigation against government behaviours in any meaningful way — especially considering the strong trend of rising cases. The proportion of first-instance administrative litigation among all types of cases ruled by local courts across the country barely rose from 9.49 per cent in 2014 to 9.97 per cent in 2019. The percentage of cases in China won by plaintiffs increased marginally but remained at the exceedingly low rate of around 13 per cent in 2015.
Administrative litigation is an important indicator of the extent to which courts can counteract the political influence of local party and state actors. ‘Local protectionism’ has been a preeminent feature of the Chinese judiciary as a structural loophole enabling corruption and resistance to central guidelines.
Post-2013 judicial reforms have targeted local party-state power over the judiciary by centralising court personnel and budgetary management to the provincial level. But implementation remains substantially incomplete. Less developed provinces have barely started implementing budgetary centralisation, while local governments in more developed regions remain responsible for significant parts of monetary budgets and material equipment.
The establishment of the new anti-corruption mechanism has systematically weakened the judiciary’s already-inferior status vis-a-vis party committees without bringing about any significant vertical centralisation. An initial analysis cautions that the use of AI in Chinese courts might further curb judges’ decision-making discretion and autonomy, rather than facilitate it. It is reasonable to assume that the supremacy of party committees over all other state institutions — a core feature of Chinese authoritarianism — has itself obstructed many of the reform outcomes the CCP desired.
It certainly is true that the CCP has moved further away from the liberal concept of ‘rule of law’ and is striving to construct a legal framework that sustains its ‘neo-totalitarian’ rule. But the efficacy with which it has managed to do so is far from clear, even when measured against objectives like reducing local protectionism and granting courts sufficient autonomy to sustain regime legitimacy.
Questions remain as to how conducive the CCP’s intensifying supremacy is to achieving many of its own policy goals. If China is a testing ground for the extent to which authoritarian regimes can rely on ’legality’ — stripped of the democratic, normative core of the ‘rule of law’ — to help sustain political rule, there may be some hard limits to how far these efforts can go.

Bollywood’s Badshaah or King Khan is celebrating his 30th year in the film industry and on this special occasion, he has a more special gift in store for his fans. Shah Rukh Khan, just now, dropped his look from his much-anticipated film Pathaan. The short teaser he shared on social media, shows him holding a gun and standing with his back to the camera. His face is partially visible and it is rugged and bloodied. The clip ends with his voice-over that says, “Jaldi milte hai, Pathaan se.”
The film will release on January 25, 2023.
Sharing the teaser, SRK wrote, “30 yrs and not counting cos ur love & smiles have been infinite. Here’s to continuing with #Pathaan. Celebrate #Pathaan with #YRF50 on 25th January, 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”

Needless to say, fans were more than excited as they were already expecting some announcement regarding his upcoming film- Pathaan, Dunki or Jawan. In Pathaan, the actor reunites with Deepika Padukone. The film also stars John Abraham. One fan wrote, “For so long you have been my strength. It sounds stupid perhaps but it is true. You have no idea… without you my life wouldn’t have be how it is now. Thank you SO SO MUCH for 30 years of love ❤️”

Santos suffered a 4-0 rout against Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil, but will have the opportunity to redeem itself from this score in the second confrontation that will be in Vila Belmiro
Santos was thrashed by Corinthians 4-0 last Wednesday (22), in the first leg valid for the Copa do Brasil, played at Neo Química Arena. During the programHit Ready‘ this Thursday (23), the journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira commented on the coach’s statements after the match.
When asked about the reaction of the Santos cast before the commander’s interview, the commentator of the Young pan stressed that no team is hostage of player. “It seems that the football player is a superior entity. Screw it if the player likes it or doesn’t. The guys enter the field, they don’t play anything, the team is humiliated, the Santos fan is ‘P’ of life, then he’ll be worried if the guy will like it or not. Screw it if he won’t like it.”
“That has to change. What are you talking about? The club can never be hostage to any player. They are hostages because the leaders are remiss and bananas many times. Then they leave the loofah in the coach’s hand, use it as a shield, don’t get involved in the tackle and often the group wins”, added Mauro.
The technician’s statements Fabian Bustos had a lot of impact. The commander highlighted that the team was not ‘competitive‘ and criticized the attitude of the cast during the confrontation. with this rout suffered in the classic, the coach is pressured in the position. “A shame. Really, a shame. I don’t know with what face I’ll look at the people of Santos”.
“A shame for what we did and how we behaved on the pitch without competing. We have to change our attitude and do what we did against Palmeiras, Inter, Atlético-MG… This is our team. Not today’s team, which was a shame. I don’t remember seeing what I saw today in my last five or six years.”, declared during a press conference. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/24/it-seems-to-be-a-superior-entity/ | 2022-06-25T07:53:06Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/24/it-seems-to-be-a-superior-entity/ | false | 2 |
Since February, organisers have been fundraising to help reach their £10,000 target to get the project off the ground, with Blackpool owner Simon Sadler among those to donate.
The figure has now been reached and work on the mural is set to begin on July 8.
When completed, the iconic image of Blackpool’s greatest ever son will sprawl across the side of the Armfield Bar, a venue named in his honour, which is located a stone’s throw from Bloomfield Road.
“The goodwill and generosity of Blackpool supporters from all over the globe has helped us to reach the fundraising total,” organisers announced.
“Barring unforeseen interruptions and freak weather conditions, the artist hopes to have the mural ready in time for Blackpool’s pre-season friendly against Rangers on Saturday, July 16.
“On behalf of the members of The Armfield Club and the Armfield family, thanks so much to everybody who has taken time to contribute and to support the project.
“From raffles to auctions to selling cakes on match days, every little bit has helped and underlines just how much this project has been one created by the supporters for the supporters.
“Similarly, the JustGiving page lists over 250 separate contributions, which in the current financial climate is a tremendous and generous achievement.”
Organisers also plan to create a wall plaque inside the Armfield Bar to list the names of all the supporters and groups who contributed to the fundraiser.
While the design of the mural was voted on via a public poll in December of last year, slight tweaks are still being considered.
“Our reasoning behind this is twofold,” organisers explained.
“One, as we would genuinely like to make this design the best design it can possibly be and two, this has been foisted upon us as a result of restrictions which are now placed on business advertising on buildings (something we were not aware of in December).
“Let’s make this design the best it can possibly be.
“The chosen design will stay substantively the same, so please do not worry if you voted for it, we are not thinking of replacing it.
“However, like all things, we are always on a journey of improvement and a few interesting suggestions have been made from observers.”
It’s been suggested the postcode of Bloomfield Road - FY1 6JJ - could be added to the design, while an image of silhouetted supporters could also be incorporated, or some colour in the form of tangerine scarves.
"The idea to add the silhouettes of fans was added by the artist (Matt Bishop) on the suggestion of one of Jimmy’s two sons (John Armfield),” organisers added.
"As Jimmy was a true man of the people, John said anything that incorporates the fans and supporters and builds on that connection would be ideal.”
If you have any ideas, email [email protected], with ‘Mural Design Ideas’ as the subject.
Updates on the project can be found on The Armfield Bar’s Twitter (@ArmfieldClub) and Facebook (Armfield Club Blackpool) pages. | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/work-set-to-begin-on-huge-mural-of-blackpool-fc-legend-jimmy-armfield-near-bloomfield-road-3744764 | 2022-06-25T07:56:04Z | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/work-set-to-begin-on-huge-mural-of-blackpool-fc-legend-jimmy-armfield-near-bloomfield-road-3744764 | false | 1 |
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The heavily armed men appeared around the small farming village in Ethiopia’s Oromia region, frightening residents already on edge after recent clashes between government troops and rebels.
“The militants assured us that they will not touch us. They said they are not after us,” resident Nur Hussein Abdi told The Associated Press. “But in reality, they were surrounding our whole village for a deadly massacre. What happened the next day was a total bloodbath.”
Abdi escaped by hiding on a rooftop, a horrified witness to one of the worst mass killings in Ethiopia in recent years. Hundreds of people, mostly ethnic Amhara, were slaughtered in Tole village and the surroundings on June 18 in the latest explosion of ethnic violence in Africa’s second most populous nation.
Multiple witnesses told the AP they are still discovering bodies, with some put in mass graves containing scores of people. The Amhara Association of America said it has confirmed 503 civilians killed. Ethiopian authorities have not released figures. One witness, Mohammed Kemal, said he has witnessed 430 bodies buried, and others are still exposed and decomposing.
Kemal begged Ethiopia’s government to relocate the survivors, saying the armed men had threatened to return.
“They killed infants, children, women and the elderly,” resident Ahmed Kasim said. The Amhara Association of America said the dead include a 100-year-old and a one-month-old baby, and some people were killed in a mosque where they had tried to hide.
Residents and Oromia regional officials have blamed the Oromo Liberation Army, an armed group that Ethiopia’s government has declared a terrorist organization. An OLA spokesman denied it, alleging that federal troops and regional militia attacked the villagers for their perceived support of the OLA as they retreated from an OLA offensive.
Again, Ethiopians are left wondering why the federal government failed to protect them from the violent side of the country’s ethnic tensions — and why ethnic minorities in a federal system based on identity are left so vulnerable.
Teddy Afro, Ethiopia’s much celebrated pop star, released two songs this week highlighting the crisis that has worsened in the past four years and dedicating his songs to civilians who have lost their lives.
“It’s never an option to keep quiet when a mountain of death comes in front of me,” one of his lyrics says.
On Friday, thousands of students at Gondar University in the neighboring Amhara region protested the killings and demanded justice.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, has said security forces have launched a military operation against the OLA, but many Ethiopians appear skeptical after seeing the deadly cycle play out in the past.
The president of the Oromia region, Shimelis Abdisa, on Thursday acknowledged that it will be difficult to arrange security in every location, but said the current operation “will cripple the enemy’s ability to move from place to place.”
Ethnic Amhara are Ethiopia’s second-largest ethnic group but have found themselves under attack in some areas where they are in the minority. Several dozen were killed in attacks in the Benishangul Gumuz and Oromia regions over the past three years alone.
“Ethnic Amharas who live outside of their region do not have legal and political representation, which results in no protection,” said Muluken Tesfaw, a community activist who tracks abuses against the Amhara. “There were even speeches by Oromia region government officials that seek to reduce Amharic-speaking people.”
“An anti-Amhara narrative has been spreading for over 50 years now,” said Belete Molla, chairman of the opposition NaMA party. “The Amhara living in Oromia and Benishangul are hence being targeted.” He also accused some members of the Oromia region’s ruling party of “working for or sympathizing with the Oromo Liberation Army.”
The latest mass killings brought international alarm. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, has urged Ethiopian authorities to hold “prompt, impartial and through” investigations. The U.S. State Department called on Ethiopians to “reject violence and pursue peace.”
Ethiopia continues to struggle with ethnic tensions in several parts of the country and a deadly conflict in the northern Tigray region that has severely affected the once rapidly growing economy, but the prime minister is adamant that better days are ahead.
“There is no doubt that Ethiopia is on the path of prosperity,” he declared in a parliament address this month.
But Ethiopians who escaped the latest attack seek answers.
Nur Hussein said he and other Tole villagers had called nearby officials about the appearance of the armed men shortly before the violence exploded. “Their response was muted. They said there were no specific threats to respond to. But look at what unfolded,” he said. “God willing, we will get past this, but it is a scar that will live with us forever.” | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Total-bloodbath-Witnesses-describe-Ethiopia-17265128.php | 2022-06-25T08:01:50Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Total-bloodbath-Witnesses-describe-Ethiopia-17265128.php | true | 31 |

Ranbir Kapoor kept his first paycheck of ₹250 at Neetu Kapoor's feet, says she 'cried’
- Ranbir Kapoor talked about his first paycheck and how he kept it at mom Neetu Kapoor's feet. He also spoke about how she reacted. Ranbir received ₹250 for assisting on dad Rishi Kapoor's Prem Granth.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor has spoken about his first paycheck of ₹250 and what he did with it. In a new interview, Ranbir said that after he received it for Prem Granth, he kept it at his mother Neetu Kapoor's feet 'like a good boy'. He also spoke about how Neetu reacted to the gesture. Ranbir also talked about his secret Instagram handle and on making it a public account. (Also Read | Ranbir Kapoor was only offered the son's part in Shamshera: 'I really had to convince Aditya Chopra and Karan Malhotra)
Ranbir is the son of Neetu and her husband, late actor Rishi Kapoor. He also has an elder sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahani. Ranbir assisted his uncle Rajiv Kapoor, director of Prem Granth (1996), on the sets of the film. The film stars Rishi alongside Madhuri and is an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
In an interview with Mashable India, when asked about his first paycheck, Ranbir said, "My first paycheck was ₹250 that I got while assisting on Prem Granth. Like a good boy, I went to my mother's room and I put it on her feet. She looked at it and she started crying. It was one of those filmy moments that I performed."
On his secret Instagram account, Ranbir said, "The thing is that I don't post and I have no followers. So what's the point?...I have nothing. So there's no point. But never say never. I could make my account public. But as of right now, I am okay. I am doing decently without social media. But like I said never say never."
Recently, speaking with Bollywood Hungama, actor Varun Dhawan talked about Ranbir’s secret Instagram account. “Woh secret account Alia ka hai (It's Alia Bhatt’s secret account),” he had said. Neetu, who was also present during the interview, had laughed at his response. Ranbir tied the knot with Alia in a private ceremony on April 14 this year. Only close friends and family were invited to their wedding, which took place at Ranbir's Mumbai home.
Meanwhile, Ranbir will be seen in the upcoming movie Brahmastra Part One: Shiva along with Alia, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy. The film is set to release on September 9. He also has Animal in the pipeline alongside Rashmika Mandanna.
He will also be seen in Shamshera, which is based on the pre-independence era, in which he portrays a double role. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor in prominent roles. It's set to release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on July 22, 2022. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/ranbir-kapoor-put-first-paycheck-at-neetu-kapoor-s-feet-101656138374324.html | 2022-06-25T08:30:21Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/ranbir-kapoor-put-first-paycheck-at-neetu-kapoor-s-feet-101656138374324.html | true | 2 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@brokeredcapital.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one brokeredcapital.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

She's About To Be Marrying Her Sister's Ex-Boyfriend And She's Not Inviting Her Sister To The Wedding
A 24-year-old woman doesn't have the best relationship with her family, and she quickly got out of her home growing up.
After she left her house, she did continue to have a great relationship with her brothers, who are older than she is.
Aside from her, her 27-year-old sister also couldn't wait to move out of their family home, and since her sister did, she hasn't exactly kept in contact with her.
About 4 or 5 years ago this all happened, and at the same time, she met a man named Charlie.
"....I found out one year into my relationship with Charlie that my sister had dated him in their freshman year of college," she explained.
"It was shocking but mostly weird that it had never come up - he did mention her from time to time but she has a very common name and I was never curious and they dated for like less than 6 months."
"I bombarded Charlie with questions, genuinely confused as to how we hadn’t found out earlier."
When she did learn that Charlie had dated her sister, she reached out to her sister to tell her that she was currently in a relationship with him.
Her sister claimed that she had been with Charlie for far more than half of a year, and he was the first guy that she had been in love with.
Her sister then sent her a bunch of screenshots of messages she had with Charlie and even photos of them back when they were together.
Eventually, she just blocked her sister so she could move on with her life and not have to look at her sister's past with Charlie.
In hindsight, she doesn't believe she owed it to her sister to tell her about Charlie anyway since it's not like her sister was in her life, but she was trying to do the right thing.
It's been years since then, and Charlie has felt more comfortable telling her about what happened with her sister.
Charlie revealed to her that he stopped dating her sister after her sister cheated with another guy.
Anyway, circling back to her own relationship with Charlie, he asked her to marry him a year ago and she of course excitedly shared the news on social media.
Her sister managed to see that she was engaged, and her sister sent her a text to say sorry for how she acted.
"She said that she had been in the wrong and that she was glad me and Charlie had found each other," she said.
"I accepted her apology and we have been civil for the past months, she has been sharing wedding Pinterest boards with me and recently she texted me asking if she could be a bridesmaid which I thought was such a mad request since I am not considering even inviting her."
"Charlie says it's up to me as she is my sister but I do not want her there, not even in a mean way, I don't want to actively exclude her as a punishment, I just don't want her to be a part of my wedding or my life, which she has never been."
Her older brothers do not agree with her choice to not invite her sister to her wedding, and they believe it's a mean move.
Her brothers also would like her to give her sister another opportunity to have a relationship with her and be in her life, as she did say sorry so that's an olive branch.
Several of her friends are on the same side that her brothers are, so now she's wondering if she should change her mind and invite her sister after all.
Do you think her sister deserves an invite to her wedding, or should she keep her away from her big day?

‘We’re About to Become a Divided Country’: NBC’s Pete Williams Lays Out Consequences of Overturning Roe
NBC News correspondent Pete Williams said the United States is about to become a “divided country” while spelling out the consequences of the Supreme Court ruling overturning the right to abortion established almost 50 years ago in Roe v. Wade.
By removing the Constitutional protection for abortion, the ruling allows states to determine their own restrictions on the procedure. About half the states have already said they will ban abortion.
“This is the first time the Supreme Court has ever granted a constitutional right, which it did so when Roe was decided in 1973, and then took it away,” Williams said. “A popular right that was widely recognized.”
Williams explained what this decision — which overturned two rulings, Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood — means for abortion in America.
“Those two rulings stood for the proposition that states could not ban abortion before the age of viability,” Williams said. “They could restrict it during that period up to about 23 weeks, but they couldn’t ban it.”
“Now, the Supreme Court has taken that guarantee away,” he said.
Williams noted that 13 states passed “trigger laws” which would make abortion illegal once the Supreme Court made its decision.
In a few of those states, Williams said, the bans take effect immediately. In others, the ban will come as soon as the Supreme Court decision is certified by state attorney generals.
States that have not passed trigger laws are expected to move to ban abortion in the wake of this decision.
“In roughly half the country, abortion is as of now or soon will be illegal,” Williams said. “We are about to become a divided country, where abortion is legal in about half the states, illegal in half the states.”
