Which meal prep bags are best? People lead incredibly busy lives and it’s very common to find yourself hungry without any of the time you need to actually cook something worth eating. Sure you could go eat at Whataburger for the fourth time this week, but meal prepping on the one day you have the time to cook and storing everything you’ll want to eat for the week into meal prep bags is a far healthier and more affordable option. The best meal prep bag is the PrepNaturals Meal Prep Lunch Bag. This incredibly versatile bag comes with tons of additional add-ons like containers, ice packs, and even a pill dispenser. It can also serve as a gym bag for even more versatility. What to know before you buy meal prep bags Types of meal prep bags There are three main types of meal prep bags: backpacks, shoulder straps, and lunch boxes. - Backpacks: Backpack meal prep bags tend to be amongst the largest available, frequently storing up to six meals. They even have extra sections for water bottles and laptops, which makes them perfect as an all-around backpack option in addition to being insulated for food. - Shoulder straps: Shoulder strap meal prep bags can be found in most sizes from small to large depending on your wants and needs. The shoulder strap isn’t as comfortable to haul around as backpack-style meal prep bags, but it’s much easier than a lunch box-style meal prep bag. - Lunch boxes: Generally, the lunch box meal prep bag can only hold two meals and possibly a snack and/or water bottle. They’re meant to be thrown into larger bags like standard backpacks or gym bags, but you can also carry them with you if you’re having a picnic, for example. Size There’s more to size than just how many containers of food you can hold or how easy or difficult it is to haul your bag around. You also have to consider how the weight of the meal prep bag is affected once you’ve filled it with all the food. What to look for in quality meal prep bags Insulation Most meal prep bags are insulated. Not all insulation is created equally though, so make sure you’re purchasing a bag with the best possible insulation. Best practices for checking insulation quality is to read user reviews and consider how the bag seals. Pockets and additional compartments The main container isn’t the only compartment a meal prep bag has. Most meal prep bags also include little pockets or full bonus sections for storing snacks, utensils, and anything else you want to pack. Add-ons Meal prep bags can come bundled with a truly dizzying array of options and they vary from bag to bag. How much you can expect to spend on meal prep bags Meal prep bags as a general rule aren’t terribly expensive. You can find small and inexpensive meal prep bags for as little as $15, sometimes even less. You can also secure an excellent midrange meal prep bag for only double that amount. If you really want the top-of-the-line meal prep bags with superior insulation and huge sizes you could find yourself spending up to $100. Meal prep bags FAQ How can I tell if the containers I already have will fit in my prospective meal prep bag? A. The meal prep bag will list its dimensions on the product page, so it’s very easy to tell if your containers will fit inside them. Just measure what you have and compare it against your prospective meal prep bag’s dimensions. Will my meal prep bag keep my hot foods hot? A. Kind of. Even meal prep bags with the best insulation available will probably only be able to keep hot foods at a reasonable level of warmth, rather than the hot temperature they were when you put them in your container. You can help things along by using stainless-steel containers, as they retain heat much better than the usual glass and plastic containers. What are the best meal prep bags to buy?

At the end of 2020, Lexington Realty Trust (NYSE:LXP) owned 130 net leased properties across 29 states that were 98.3% occupied. Its current investment strategy is to acquire or develop Class A, primarily single-tenant warehouse/distribution properties in Sunbelt and Midwestern states. This has not always been LXP's focus. Five years ago, LXP's property portfolio was much more mixed, with heavy exposure to office as well as industrial. Today, 91% of real estate assets are industrial properties, up from 71% in 2018. Disposing of its office properties will continue to provide a capital source for expansion of the industrial portfolio. As with other real estate portfolio transitions, LXP's transition has been slow and painful, including a dividend cut. But it has also positioned the REIT for future success, with a clear and undiluted focus on a stable asset class, a strong balance sheet, an adequately low cost of capital, and a respectable cash pile to put to work. But, then again, LXP is late to the logistics real estate party, and cap rates have compressed significantly in recent years. As such, despite the positives listed above, growth is likely to be slow going forward. LXP is trading at 14.9x estimated 2021 AFFO and offers a well-covered dividend yielding 3.89%. In order to reach the threshold of a 7% yield-on-cost in ten years that I usually like to target (as a minimum), the dividend would have to grow by about 6% per year on average. I don't see that happening, and thus LXP is a pass for me. Image Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation LXP seeks to own and/or develop a certain class of industrial property - the huge, empty shell warehouse/distribution facility that can easily be retrofitted to fit the particular needs of various tenants. The REIT's portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.4 years, and 50.8% of it is leased to investment grade-rated tenants. In 2020, LXP purchased $611.8 million of properties, and they invested another $60.2 million in development projects. The ability to develop properties in its target space is an important asset, because development yields are typically higher by a point or two than the yields of stabilized properties purchased on the open market. Development yields typically range from 5.25% to 6% but have sometimes gone as high as 7.5% for shorter-term leases. Of course, these higher yields are offset somewhat by LXP's use of third-party merchant builders, who charge percentage fees (usually 4% of costs). Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation In other words, LXP is evolving toward the likes of Monmouth Real Estate (MNR) or Stag Industrial (STAG) - both industrial REITs largely focused on warehouse/distribution-type facilities. It is seeking to tap into the growing trend of e-commerce and high-demand for logistics and distribution space. And, like STAG, LXP's target markets are in growing cities in the Sunbelt and Midwest regions of the country. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation On the other hand, LXP is a bit more like MNR in its focus on the newness of its properties, in terms of building age. The average age of the buildings LXP acquired in 2020 was two years, while the average age portfolio-wide is 12 years. This ensures that the facilities are state-of-the-art and will have long useful lifespans, but it also means that the prices paid for them were quite high. This can be seen by looking at average cap rates LXP has paid for properties over the last five years (orange line below). Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation Over the last five years, LXP has disposed of 127 non-industrial assets for $2.5 billion and purchased 60 industrial properties for around the same amount. And yet, both revenue and FFO have continued to slide downward over this time period. This is primarily because LXP was disposing of its non-industrial properties at higher cap rates than what they paid for the industrial properties. This is the opposite of accretive capital recycling, regardless of whether it proves to be smart in the long run. CEO Will Eglin does believe it is the smart long-term move, as he said in the Q4 conference call: While we continue to experience some near-term dilution as we sell these assets, we believe that industrial property is demonstrably superior in terms of long-term cash flow growth. On the plus side, LXP's industrial leases tend to come with handsome rent escalations. Approximately 86% of leases have built-in escalations, and of those the average annual increase is 2.1%. This offers upside despite the low entry cap rates. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation That said, in 2020, LXP's dispositions (mostly of non-industrial assets) were completed at an average cash cap rate of 5%. I must admit, this is an excellent result and should keep revenue and cash flow roughly even as the proceeds are reinvested into industrial properties. LXP expects to market for sale, if not outright dispose of, most of the remainder of its office and other non-industrial assets, consisting of 18 properties, in 2021. The end of the portfolio transition is in sight. In the next year or so, LXP will be a pure-play single-tenant warehouse/distribution REIT. It should be noted, though, that the remaining non-core properties are the "scraps," so to speak. Management stated on the recent conference call that they will likely dispose of these assets in the low-double-digit cap rate range, which would be meaningfully less attractive than the dispositions carried out in 2020. The reason for the lower market value of these properties pertains primarily to remaining lease term. About 58% of leases expire by the end of 2024. Turning back to the core portfolio, we find that it conforms to LXP's goal of targeting Sunbelt and Midwest markets, and it is also concentrated in largely defensive tenant industries. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation And despite characterizing the portfolio as being focused on warehouse/distribution facilities, it should be noted that 15% of properties are used for manufacturing and another 5% for cold storage. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation Top tenants for LXP are high-quality, recognizable corporations that are often large and publicly traded. LXP's second largest tenant by base rent is the e-commerce giant Amazon (AMZN). FedEx (FDX) and Walmart (WMT) can also be found amongst the top ten. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation Due to the evident quality of its assets, management boasts that in 2020, they secured renewal leasing spreads of 17.5%. That is huge percentage growth in rent rates! However, there's a catch. In order to secure this high leasing spread, LXP had to invest in substantial tenant improvements - basically, renovations to facilities in order to enhance them or retrofit them specifically for a new tenant - to the tune of $2.57 per square foot for new leases and $3.45 per square foot for renewals. Keep in mind, LXP's buildings are massive behemoths, hundreds of thousands of square feet in size. Such tenant improvements cost around six months of rent for the average warehouse/distribution property, with annual rents per square foot in the mid-single digit range (say, $4-6 PSF). Moreover, in 2020, rent collection was not a problem for LXP. The REIT collected 99.8% of contractual rent, which is as much or more than the average industrial REIT collects in a normal, non-pandemic year. In the last year, LXP has made several improvements to its balance sheet, including deleveraging after a few big dispositions and paying down some of its higher interest rate debt. In 2020, LXP issued $400 million of 10-year senior notes (bonds) at slightly above a 2.7% interest rate, which is surprisingly low. The attractiveness of LXP's cost of capital is certainly a strength to keep in mind when considering the high desirability of its asset types. What's more, over the course of 2020, LXP also paid down $236 million of 4.5%-rate debt, $61.2 million of 4.25%-rate debt, and $51.1 million of 4.4%-rate debt. These are steps in the right direction, as far as cost of capital goes. Also in 2020, LXP repurchased 1.3 million common shares at an average price of $8.28 per share - not a bad use of spare cash, considering the low AFFO multiple on that price. That price is pretty much right at the bottom reached in March, 2020, during the peak of pandemic panic. I certainly approve of the timing of this share repurchase program more than most public companies' rather cavalier use of share repurchases. LXP enjoys a low net debt to EBITDA of 4.8x (or 5.1x including preferred equity), largely as a result of its deleveraging efforts over the last few years. And a little over two-thirds of the REIT's total capitalization is equity. Source: Q4 2020 Investor Presentation Now let's talk about the dividend. In 2020, AFFO per share came in at $0.76, while the annual dividend was a fraction of a penny over $0.42. That marks a very low payout ratio of 55.6%. In 2021, management has guided for AFFO per share of $0.72 - $0.76, and they recently declared an annualized dividend of $0.43 - a 2.4% raise from 2020's payout. That makes the payout ratio 58.1% based on the midpoint of 2021 AFFO per share guidance. With this low payout ratio as a base, management has made clear their desire to continue growing the dividend on an annual basis going forward. This goal of annual dividend growth comes off of a decidedly unimpressive dividend growth history. After cutting the dividend once during the Great Recession, LXP ended up cutting it again at the beginning of 2019 when it remained persistently too high for accretive equity issuance. In an ideal world, LXP's share price would rise until its AFFO multiple matched that of its industrial REIT peers, and management would raise the dividend a little bit faster than AFFO until the payout ratio reached the typical 70-80% range. Bringing the dividend to a 75% payout ratio would raise it to $0.555 per share annually, or a 5.0% dividend yield based on the current stock price. Assuming 2.5% average annual dividend growth going forward, even a 5% starting yield would result in a mere 6.4% yield-on-cost after ten years. That's not bad, but it doesn't meet my minimum threshold of a 7% 10-year YoC for conservative dividend growth investments. What's more, I'm not sure whether to consider LXP a "conservative" dividend growth stock at this point or not. Given its checkered past, some additional margin of safety is probably prudent. Since the REIT lacks that margin of safety right now, I consider it a HOLD. LXP is making some positive, smart moves to reposition its portfolio for the future. But it is doing so at a time when single-tenant, net leased warehouse/distribution properties are richly valued with relatively low yields. This focus on high quality / low yield assets will likely result in low single-digit growth going forward, which translates into similar dividend growth. Even with a low payout ratio today, low projected growth results in mediocre dividend growth prospects.

This article was written by My adult life can be broken out into three distinct phases. In my early 20s, I earned a bachelor's degree in Cinema & Media Arts (emphasis in screenwriting), but I hated working in Hollywood. Too much schmoozing and far too much traffic. So, after leaving California, I earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Western State Colorado University. I loved writing fiction, but it didn't pay the bills. In my mid-20s, I became a real estate agent and gained some very valuable experience in residential and commercial real estate. But my passion for writing never went away. Now, in my early 30s, I write for Jussi Askola's excellent marketplace service, High Yield Landlord, as well as its sister service, High Yield Investor. I also perform freelance research for a family office that owns and manages over 40 net lease commercial properties in Texas and Arkansas. Writing about finance and investing scratches that creative itch while paying the bills - the best of both worlds. I'm a Millennial with a long-term horizon and am fascinated with the magic of compound interest and dividend growth investing.

An international team of astronomers has combined the power of 64 radio telescope dishes for the first time to detect the faint signatures of neutral hydrogen gas across cosmological scales. The feat was achieved using the South African-based MeerKAT telescope, a precursor to the world’s largest radio observatory, the SKA Observatory (SKAO), which will probe the Universe in unprecedented detail. A primary aim for the SKAO is to understand the evolution and content of the Universe along with the mechanisms which drive its accelerating expansion. One way to achieve this is by observing the Universe’s structure on the largest scales. On these scales, entire galaxies can be considered as single points and analysis of their distribution reveals clues about the nature of gravity and mysterious phenomena such as dark matter and dark energy. Radio telescopes are a fantastic instrument for this since they can detect radiation at wavelengths of 21cm generated by neutral hydrogen, the most abundant element in the Universe. By analyzing 3D maps of hydrogen spanning millions of light-years, we probe the total distribution of matter in the Universe. The SKAO, which has its headquarters based at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire, is currently under construction. However, there are already pathfinder telescopes, such as the 64-dish array MeerKAT, in place to guide its design. Based in the Karoo Desert and operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), MeerKAT will eventually go on to be a part of the full SKAO. MeerKAT and the SKAO will primarily operate as interferometers, where the array of dishes are combined as one giant telescope capable of imaging distant objects with high resolution. “However, the interferometer will not be sensitive enough to the largest scales most interesting for cosmologists studying the Universe.” explained the co-lead author of the new research paper, Steven Cunnington. “Therefore, we instead use the array as a collection of 64 individual telescopes which allows them to map the giant volumes of sky required for cosmology.” “For many years I have worked towards forecasting the future capability of the SKAO. To now reach a stage where we are developing the tools we will need and demonstrating their success with real data is incredibly exciting. This only marks the beginning of what we hope will be a continuous showcase of results which advances our understanding of the Universe.” — Steven Cunnington The single-dish mode of operation has been driven by a team at the University of the Western Cape, with several observations already conducted with MeerKAT. This ambitious project involves many other institutions spanning four continents. In the new research submitted for publication, a team that includes Manchester-based astronomers Steven Cunnington, Laura Wolz and Keith Grainge, present the first ever cosmological detection using this single-dish technique. The new detection is of a shared clustering pattern between MeerKAT’s maps and galaxy positions determined by the optical Anglo-Australian Telescope. Since it is known that these galaxies trace the overall matter of the Universe, the strong statistical correlation between the radio maps and the galaxies shows the MeerKAT telescope is detecting large-scale cosmic structure. This is the first time such detection has been made using a multi-dish array operating as individual telescopes. The full SKAO will rely on this technique and this therefore marks an important milestone in the roadmap for the cosmology science case with the SKAO. “This detection was made with just a small amount of pilot survey data,” revealed Steven Cunnington. “It’s encouraging to imagine what will be achieved as MeerKAT continues to make increasingly larger observations. “For many years I have worked towards forecasting the future capability of the SKAO. To now reach a stage where we are developing the tools we will need and demonstrating their success with real data is incredibly exciting. This only marks the beginning of what we hope will be a continuous showcase of results which advances our understanding of the Universe.” Reference: “HI intensity mapping with MeerKAT: power spectrum detection in cross-correlation with WiggleZ galaxies” by Steven Cunnington, Yichao Li, Mario G.

Lamborghini team JLOC targeting Le Mans comeback in 2024 The JLOC team that made four appearances at the Le Mans 24 Hours with the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT is targeting a return to the French endurance classic in two years. Known for its long association with Lamborghini both in Japan and abroad, JLOC has expressed its desire to field the Huracan GT3 Evo II in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2024, when GT3 regulations come on stream to replace the current GTE machinery. JLOC has been a seasoned campaigner of Lamborghini’s GT3 cars in SUPER GT’s GT300 class for more than a decade, and currently fields two examples of the Huracan in the Japanese series. It was also responsible for bringing Lamborghini back to Circuit de la Sarthe in 2006 when it ran a Murcielago R-GT built by Reiter Engineering in the GT1 class, although the car’s debut outing and all successive appearances ended in retirement. Lamborghini is currently gearing up to fight for overall honours at Le Mans with an LMDh contender to be built around a Ligier LMP2 chassis, but JLOC wants to add to the success of the Huracan GT3 which has already claimed class win in several enduros including Rolex 24 and Sebring 12 Hours. “We continue to discuss Le Mans even now,” JLOC team director Isao Noritake told Motorsport.com. “We are waiting for GT3 cars to be allowed in 2024. “By then we will have the Evo 2, and we want to challenge Le Mans again in 2024. I’ve always wanted to go back there. Now I think we can do a much better job, and we have the car to do it.” #87 Bamboo Airways Lamborghini GT3 Photo by: Masahide Kamio The arrival of GT3 cars in Le Mans is likely to lead to an oversubscribed entry for the French classic, which prompted Noritake to suggest a full WEC programme would be the easiest way to be sure of a slot on the grid. “It’s possible we could do the full WEC,” he said. “Lamborghini will probably have two cars [in 2024]. That’s another thing we are discussing with them. “Thanks to our long relationship, Lamborghini has been able to participate in motorsport after they exited F1 [at the end of 1993], so there’s a lot of people that think that way, and I have their respect." The second ‘Evo’ update to the Huracan GT3 was unveiled earlier this year, and is expected to debut in the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona next January. Noritake said Lamborghini also wants JLOC to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championsip opener, but says WEC is the priority for the team to add to its existing SUPER GT programme. “They want us to race at Daytona, because America is an important market and they have a lot of budget [to support customer teams]," he said. “Our biggest goal is the WEC though. "The Evo 2 will make its debut at Daytona next year. We hope to have at least one car [in SUPER GT] in 2023, and depending on the car's availability, we’d like to run a second car as well."

Ahead of its debut at the Le Mans 24 Hours, its sights are firmly fixed on LMP2 glory – and a future in Hypercars next year... Why a fifth Toyota win at Le Mans is far from a certainty in 2022 Toyota is the clear favourite for its fifth Le Mans 24 Hours success in a row, but not as much as it was in 2021. Although its opposition is unchanged, the credentials of Glickenhaus and Alpine have now been proven, while Balance of Performance tweaks have also served to level the playing field. Here's what we can expect at the Circuit de la Sarthe for the 90th edition of the endurance classic. The British rookies targeting a good first impression at Le Mans Three young Britons will make their first starts in the Le Mans 24 Hours this weekend in the highly-competitive 23-car GTE Am field.

Study led by University of Chicago scientist deepens the mystery about the climate of early Mars. Mars once ran red with rivers. The telltale tracks of past rivers, streams, and lakes are still visible today all over the planet. But about three billion years ago, they all dried up—and no one knows why. “People have put forward different ideas, but we’re not sure what caused the climate to change so dramatically,” said University of Chicago geophysical scientist Edwin Kite. “We’d really like to understand, especially because it’s the only planet we definitely know changed from habitable to uninhabitable.” Kite is the first author of a new research study that examines the tracks of Martian rivers to see what they can reveal about the history of the planet’s water and atmosphere. Many scientists had previously assumed that losing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helped to keep Mars warm, caused the trouble. But the new research findings, published on May 25, 2022, in the journal Science Advances, suggest that the change was caused by the loss of some other important ingredient that maintained the planet warm enough for running water. But we still don’t know what it is. Water, water everywhere—and not a drop to drink In 1972, scientists were astonished to see pictures from NASA’s Mariner 9 mission as it circled Mars from orbit. The photos revealed a landscape full of riverbeds—evidence that the planet once had plenty of liquid water, even though it’s dry as a bone today. Since Mars doesn’t have tectonic plates to shift and bury the rock over time, ancient river tracks still lie on the surface like evidence abandoned in a hurry. This allowed Kite and his collaborators, including University of Chicago graduate student Bowen Fan as well as scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Planetary Science Institute, California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Aeolis Research, to analyze maps based on thousands of pictures taken from orbit by satellites. Based on which tracks overlap which, and how weathered they are, the team pieced together a timeline of how river activity changed in elevation and latitude over billions of years. Then they could combine that with simulations of different climate conditions, and see which matched best. Planetary climates are enormously complex, with many, many variables to account for—especially if you want to keep your planet in the “Goldilocks” zone where it’s exactly warm enough for water to be liquid but not so hot that it boils. Heat can come from a planet’s sun, but it has to be near enough to receive radiation but not so near that the radiation strips away the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can trap heat near a planet’s surface. Water itself plays a role, too; it can exist as clouds in the atmosphere or as snow and ice on the surface. Snowcaps tend to act as a mirror to reflect away sunlight back into space, but clouds can either trap or reflect away light, depending on their height and composition. Kite and his collaborators ran many different combinations of these factors in their simulations, looking for conditions that could cause the planet to be warm enough for at least some liquid water to exist in rivers for more than billion years—but then abruptly lose it. But as they compared different simulations, they saw something surprising. Changing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere didn’t change the outcome. That is, the driving force of the change didn’t seem to be carbon dioxide. “Carbon dioxide is a strong greenhouse gas, so it really was the leading candidate to explain the drying out of Mars,” said Kite, an expert on the climates of other worlds. “But these results suggest it’s not so simple.” There are several alternative options. The new evidence fits nicely with a scenario, suggested in a 2021 study from Kite, where a layer of thin, icy clouds high in Mars’ atmosphere acts like translucent greenhouse glass, trapping heat. Other scientists have suggested that if hydrogen was released from the planet’s interior, it could have interacted with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to absorb infrared light and warm the planet. “We don’t know what this factor is, but we need a lot of it to have existed to explain the results,” Kite said. There are a number of ways to try to narrow down the possible factors; the team suggests several possible tests for NASA’s Perseverance rover to perform that could reveal clues. Kite and colleague Sasha Warren are also part of the science team that will be directing NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover to search for clues about why Mars dried out. They hope that these efforts, as well as measurements from Perseverance, can provide additional clues to the puzzle On Earth, many forces have combined to keep the conditions remarkably stable for millions of years. But other planets may not be so lucky. One of the many questions scientists have about other planets is exactly how lucky we are—that is, how often this confluence exists occurs in the universe. They hope that studying what happened to other planets, such as Mars, can yield clues about planetary climates and how many other planets out there might be habitable. “It’s really striking that we have this puzzle right next door, and yet we’re still not sure how to explain it,” said Kite.

CAMARILLO, Calif. -- The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline fell by 4 cents per gallon in the past two weeks to $5.05 for regular grade, it was reported Sunday. It was the first drop in nine weeks and came with a drop in oil prices amid deepening global inflation fears, industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said. “As lower gasoline prices make their way through distribution to retail, consumers will likely see further declines in coming days," Lundberg said. The average price at the pump as of Friday was still $1.90 higher than it was one year ago. Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas was in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $6.39 per gallon. The lowest average was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at $4.39 per gallon. According to the survey, the average price of diesel rose 3 cents to $5.89 a gallon.

Suspects linked to the killing of at least 40 people in a church in south-west Nigeria have been detained by a regional security force, the authorities there say. Gunmen stormed the St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state, during a service earlier this month and opened fire. The suspects are being held by a force set up by the south-west state governors, known as Amotekun. It is a separate organisation from the police. Amotekun commander Adetunji Adeleye told the BBC that the suspects were at different stages of interrogation. He did not give any details about those being held but said a vehicle and some weapons were recovered. Amotekun will need to hand the suspects over to the police if they are going to be prosecuted as it does not have the power to take people to court. As well as the at least 40 people who died on 5 June, more than 100 others were injured during the attack. The Nigerian government blamed the killings on the militant group, Islamic State of West African Province (Iswap). But the jihadists have not said that they carried out the attack. Source: BBC

(Bloomberg) — Crypto is undergoing a historic bout of volatility, but options traders are seeing positive signs within the market in the wake of the ruckus and controversy that overtook digital-asset lenders and others in the sector. Most Read from Bloomberg Chris Bae, chief executive and co-founder at structured-derivative-solutions provider EDG and a former trader at UBS and Goldman Sachs, is looking at open interest and is tracking global exchanges that offer options trading. “It doesn’t suggest that liquidity has thinned dramatically,” Bae said in an interview. “There’s a lot of data that suggests the maturity of the market has progressed and that in the options market in particular, it’s business as normal, to a large degree, when taking into context the environment that we’re in.” Bae added that bid-ask spreads seem reasonable. The environment, of course, has been strained by a number of hacks, as well as combustions of stablecoin projects and foldings of big-name crypto hedge funds. Over the past few weeks, lenders, in particular, have shown instability, with Celsius Network and Babel Finance freezing withdrawals, and Three Arrows Capital, a major crypto hedge fund, facing liquidity troubles. And it’s all coming amid a less-accommodative monetary-policy background, where the Federal Reserve and other global central banks are furiously raising rates to combat price increases. To be sure, the market is much different than during last year’s bull run. Open interest, or the total number of outstanding contracts, has come way down from its highs. OI is down a little more than $7 billion from a record of about $15 billion in October 2021, according to data from Skew. Volume is currently slightly below $600 million, compared with an all-time high of more than $8 billion also in October. Patrick Chu, head of institutional coverage APAC at Paradigm, a liquidity provider for crypto derivatives, says that the drop in OI is reflective of market sentiment. During bear markets, interest tends to wane. Options can serve two functions, he says. One is hedging, and the second is speculation. “For one, the amount of assets deployed shrinks so there is less to hedge. For two, speculations, people have a very strong long-only bias in crypto, so when the market goes bear, people get rekt,” a reference to the word “wrecked” that is often used in the crypto community. Still, Chu says, his firm has been seeing “more and more TradFi players” — or traditional-finance participants — showing interest in options. And they are entering the market, he says. That could help explain why OI levels have remained stable, despite all the turmoil within the crypto industry. That institutions are playing a bigger role bears out in other data, too. A report from the Amber Group, a digital-asset company, showed that its desk saw an increase in put-option buying demand in the wake of the liquidations seen over the past few weeks. “Risk mitigation is especially worthy of consideration under current market environments,” the note said. Meanwhile, Luke Farrell, a trader at crypto market-maker GSR, says he’s noticed a huge change in the options space over the past two years relative to prior cycles. Institutions, he says, have been coming in, whereas crypto, prior to 2017, was heavily influenced by retail participations. Today, institutions are using options for tailor risk-management solutions or to hedge portfolios or positions. In addition, he says, investors can play with options on an expanded number of coins, a trend that spurs holders to want to use them for risk-management solutions. Finally, Farrell says, Bitcoin miners, many of whom have found themselves in hot water amid price slumps for digital tokens, are hedging their future production, a change from last year when, amid a bull market, they weren’t buying protective options. “They are willing to pay a little bit to protect on the downside of turning below their cost productions,” he said. “That’s been an interesting shift.” Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek ©2022 Bloomberg L.P.

Independents consider disrupting Senate after PM cuts staff allocation By Dana Daniel Crossbench senators are considering joining forces next month to disrupt government debate in parliament’s first sitting week and hand the government an embarrassing loss of control as the prime minister digs in on his decision to cut the number of advisers for independents and minor parties. According to several Senate sources with knowledge of the discussions, some senators are considering a motion to set aside government business and debate “appropriate staffing allocations”. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese informed the crossbench on Friday he had cut their staffing allocation to a quarter of what it was in the previous parliament, leaving them with only one adviser each to work through reams of legislation. Independent Senator Rex Patrick has been talking to crossbench senators about strategies they could employ in retaliation for the staff cuts. Patrick, who is days away from leaving the Senate after losing his seat at last month’s election, said the Albanese government “will have to change its position”. “It is folly to go to war with the crossbench and the Greens,” Patrick said. “They can disrupt the Senate procedurally, to the point of taking control of it with the assistance of the Coalition, through to disrupting the legislative agenda of the government.” Another tactic being discussed is using their balance of power to appoint an opposition senator as Senate President. Any of these strategies would require cooperation from the opposition and the Greens. Albanese, who is travelling to Europe ahead of a NATO summit, told reporters on Sunday the independents’ staff allocations were being wound back for “fairness and equity” and crossbenchers should not have more advisers than his backbenchers. He said the government had also cut $1.5 million from its own staffing budget, but did not specify whether this would result in fewer advisers. “Sacrifices have been made across the board,” Albanese said. Between 2007 and 2015 under prime ministers Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, federal crossbench senators were allocated two advisers. In 2016, Malcolm Turnbull increased the allocation to three advisers, then in 2020 Scott Morrison raised it to four – two advisers and two assistant advisers – along with the usual electorate office staff. Under Albanese’s new staffing proposal, the crossbench members will all retain four lower-paid and less specialised electorate advisers, who deal with constituency matters, rather than legislation, media and stakeholders, meaning they will still have one more staff member than a government backbencher. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said this was a “common sense” approach intended to correct the situation where crossbench MPs had “twice as many staff as a backbench MP in the electorate next door”. “I don’t think [that’s] reasonable or fair,” Chalmers told ABC Insiders on Sunday morning. Education Minister Jason Clare said independent and minor party MPs should get on with the job and make use of the Parliamentary Library, which Albanese was granting extra resources. “I think most Australians would say: ‘Well, you’ve been elected, now knuckle down and do the job’,” Clare told Sky News. But Patrick said it was “quite unreasonable” to compare the staffing needs of independent MPs with government backbenchers, who did not ordinarily draft private members’ bills or receive telephone calls from journalists asking for their position on legislation. “Independents do a lot more than backbenchers, who simply follow the party in terms of voting and are gagged from talking to the media,” he said. Patrick rejected the government’s claim that the Parliamentary Library would be able to compensate for the lost advisers as “a ridiculous suggestion” given the service was only reachable during business hours and did not provide real-time advice on media, legislative or procedural issues. Two key federal Senate crossbenchers, David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie, have threatened to vote against the government’s legislation in response to the cuts. Albanese said public threats by crossbenchers to veto legislation “have not been echoed by the ones that I’ve spoken to” and his conversations with independents would continue to be constructive and courteous. Independents in the NSW parliament operate with three electorate staff and one parliamentary staffer. Independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich said while staffing at a state level was appropriate, “federal electorates are three times the size and their staffing should reflect it”. In Victoria, where independents hold the balance of power in the state’s upper house, crossbenchers are allocated 2.5 electoral office staff and parliamentary advisers are allocated depending on how many members the party has. State upper house independent Rod Barton, who only has one parliamentary adviser, said it was “extremely challenging” to deliver for constituents without an extra adviser and his federal counterparts were “rightly angry.” “It will be extremely difficult for crossbenchers to get across multiple and complex pieces of legislation in the timeframes required,” he said. A spokesperson for Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party said independent and minor party MPs “should have adequate staff to allow our laws to be adequately scrutinised”. “Parliamentary advisers do work that electorate officers often cannot,” the spokesman said. Reason Party leader Fiona Patten, who has one parliamentary adviser, said she “would love to be resourced at the same level” as federal senators whose advisers were also paid higher salaries. Liberal Democratic Victorian upper house member David Limbrick said his minor party had three parliamentary advisers, which he shared with fellow upper house member Tim Quilty. He said stripping back his team “would make analysing legislation and making informed decisions very difficult.” with Sumeyya Ilanbey and Lucy Cormack Cut through the noise of federal politics with news, views and expert analysis from Jacqueline Maley.

One photography technique I’ve always been interested in learning is how to photograph ink in water. The resulting images are beautiful on their own, but having a library of ink clouds and paint explosions for use in composite work is also super valuable. In this video tutorial, I’ll show you some of the best tips and tricks I’ve learned capturing ink in my own studio. The dreamy and surreal textures created by ink dissolving into water are unlike anything else. When you drip ink or paint into the water, you never know if you will experience a slow ballooning effect or something that looks more like sinister tentacles spreading throughout. The density of the ink you use, the way the colors are introduced into the water, the temperature, and the currents or movement are all variables that will determine what happens the few seconds after the medium hits the water. The Colors First, let’s talk about the types of material you can use to color your water and how the resulting images will look. The first material you will want to experiment with is Liquitex Acrylic Ink. This dense ink is great if you want to capture the classic cumulus cloud look that billows out like a soft piece of cotton. This ink is definitely the most expensive of the bunch, but the results will be thick, dense, and vibrant. The next option is using normal craft store Acrylic Paint. It’s impossible to know the density of every type of paint, so you will need to experiment with your paint before you start photographing it. The best technique I found was to mix a teaspoon of paint with a teaspoon or tablespoon of water to get the correct density. If the paint is too think, it will not expand in water and will plummet to the bottom of the tank. If it is too thin, it will dissolve quickly with little variety in density of color. You will also find that paint that isn’t mixed well can show lumps or particles in the resulting image, so make sure you mix it thoroughly. If you are using or mixing paint that doesn’t come in a container with a nozzle, I found that buying a few 3ml Pipettes and Condiment Squeeze Bottles will make your life a lot easier when it comes to injecting or dripping the paint into your water tank. The most obvious dye to use for this technique is food coloring or Rit clothing ink dye. Both of these materials can be found at most grocery stores and are a good starting point if you want to test your overall setup and lighting. The food coloring will look similar to the acrylic inks mentioned above, but they usually thin out much quicker and have a much more transparent look compared to the acrylic ink. To keep with the cloud analogy, food coloring often looks like cirrus clouds found high in the atmosphere. I’ve found that they are also a little less dense, which causes them to be more buoyant in water. You can experiment with dissolving a little salt or sugar in with your mixtures, but beware, a little goes a long way. The clothing dye that I tried using created a very powdery effect that almost looks like exploding color powder, similar to what you’d see at a color run. It’s a cool effect for sure, but it may not be entirely what you are looking to capture. The Tank The next thing you are going to need to purchase is a good tank. Your goal here is to have a tank that can hold enough water, with enough width and depth to allow you to photograph the ink clearly as it dissolves. At first, I bought a large 10 Gallon Aquarium, which I thought would be the ultimate tank for this kind of photography, but I quickly realized 10 gallons of water gets pretty difficult to carry when you need to pour it out. I then picked up a Two Gallon Aquarium that worked much better but was still pretty large if capturing the initial plumes of ink is all you are setting out to photograph. I will say that a glass tank is better than an acrylic tank because the glass tank won’t show scratches or fog up if cleaning materials scuff up the walls. If you want to get this system streamlined even more, you could probably build a tank with a drain at the bottom that quickly empties the colored water and a refill hose to make the process even faster. The Gear The nice thing about this type of photography is you don’t need any specialized camera gear to get good results. For my shoot, I wound up using the Tamron 24-70mm G2 lens mounted to a Nikon D850 DSLR Camera and mounted my entire camera to a Manfrotto Tripod to stabilize the whole thing. I thought using a macro lens would be even better, but I found that the depth of field was so small, which caused most of my image to be out of focus. No matter how well you pre-focus and drip your ink, you will probably have much of the ink plumes fall outside of the in-focus plane, which will make the majority of your image blurry. Therefore, I found it best to place my camera further away from the glass, zoom in, and create a large depth of field consisting of several inches instead of several centimeters. In order to light up the background and the ink, you can use either constant lights like my favorite RGB color LED panels, or you can use flash. Flash is going to allow you to freeze the action of the dissolving ink much better, which will ultimately result in sharper images with more clarity. Without getting too technical, it will also benefit you to use flashes with a faster flash duration since the ink does dissolve pretty quickly. For my setup, I placed one Profoto B10 Strobe on my background, and another one pointed down on my tank using a Smith Victor Tabletop Lightstand. Your light modifier will affect the overall highlights and shadows, so you will want to experiment with those, but for me, I liked the look of a Profoto Reflector Dish fitted with a 20-degree grid from the Profoto Spot Grid set. Again, any flash system will work, and if you can get enough light output when shooting with a smaller aperture, you might find that small speedlights actually give you an even faster flash duration. The Final Results Once you have everything set up and you’ve done a few test runs in a smaller glass or shallow Tupperware, it’s time to crank out a bunch of experiments. You can definitely perform each run by yourself, but having an assistant fire the camera or pour the ink will make your life a lot easier. Also, play around with shooting against both white and black backgrounds for different effects. You will be tempted to focus most on the initial drops of ink, but try to keep shooting as different inks mix together, because often you will find some interesting frames when the tank fills with different dyes and inks. It also helps to open your images on your computer after each session to make sure you aren’t overlooking anything like clarity, sharpness, color density, or water bubbles. It’s going to be unlikely that you capture a perfect frame that doesn’t need some retouching. For this particular photoshoot, I used ACDSee’s Photo Studio Professional 2020 to not only adjust my raw files, but I was also able to clean up all the bubbles, debris, and light leaks in my favorite images. This software is pretty powerful, and if you are looking for an alternative to expensive programs that require you to pay a subscription each month, Photo Studio Professional 2020 could be a great alternative for you.

Delonte West is working hard to get back on his feet. The former NBA player was spotted in another viral video this month, panhandling on the streets of Virginia when a fan recognized him and posted the footage online. Unfortunately, this is far from the first time we’ve seen West in this situation, making matters all the more upsetting. In response to the viral clip, Delonte gave a statement to TMZ insisting he’s fine, just in between jobs at the moment. “It is what it is,” West told the outlet last week. “I got children. I’m in between jobs. People can help me as much as they can, but you know, as a man I gotta do what I gotta do for my babies.” Now, we’ve got a new update on the former baller, who landed a new flooring job! After some people heard about his tough situation, they decided to help out. According to TMZ, the team at the Beyer Subaru car dealership in Alexandria, Virginia saw the stories about West and noticed he had been asking for money nearby, which is when they put their heads together to figure out a way to help him earn some. With how much West has struggled with mental health and addiction, it’s always good to see him get back on his feet. Hopefully, this is the start of a new chapter.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Riding a wave of success after a 7-2 road trip, the Guardians had high hopes for their three-game test against an upward-trending Boston club this weekend. The results, despite remaining competitive in two of the three contests, indicate Cleveland still has some work to do in order to hang with the big boys of the American League East. Boston’s Rich Hill kept Cleveland hitters off balance through six innings on Sunday, benefitting from three double plays turned by the Red Sox defense to hand the Guardians a 8-3 loss at Progressive Field.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden rarely mentions his predecessor by name. But as he spoke to a nation processing a seismic shift in the rights of women, he couldn’t ignore Donald Trump’s legacy. “It was three justices named by one president — Donald Trump — who were the core of today’s decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right for women in this country,” Biden said Friday after the Supreme Court’s conservative majority voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling from 1973 that provided constitutional protections for women seeking abortions. The abortion decision marked the apex in a week that reinforced the former president’s ongoing impact in Washington more than a year and a half after he exited the White House. A court that includes three Trump-appointed conservatives also decided to weaken restrictions on gun ownership. And across the street at the Capitol, which was ravaged by a mob of Trump supporters in the final days of his presidency in 2021, new details surfaced of his gross violations of democratic norms. The House’s Jan. 6 committee used a public hearing last week to spotlight the intense pressure that Trump put on top Justice Department officials to overturn the 2020 election, along with discussions of blanket pardons for cooperative members of Congress. The developments were a reminder of the awkward political bargain social conservatives embraced to achieve their grandest ambitions. In refusing to consider Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee during the final year of his presidency, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., ensured that the next president would be able to make his mark on the court. As Trump pledged to transform the Supreme Court’s ideological leanings —- even providing a list of the judges he would choose from — reluctant conservative Republicans and evangelical Christians rallied behind Trump, a thrice-married man who had previously described himself as “very pro-choice.” “When he ran in 2016, he promised that he would appoint conservative and pro-life judges to the federal courts starting with the U.S. Supreme Court. And he kept his word,” said Ralph Reed, an evangelical leader and chair of the The Faith and Freedom Coalition, who was criticized in some corners for his embrace of Trump. “Those in the faith community that felt it was worth taking a chance on Donald Trump in 2016 have been vindicated.” The GOP is now at something of a turning point in its relationship with a man who has fundamentally transformed the party with his populist, “Make America Great Again” agenda and his fight against the establishment Republicans who used to control the party. There’s a growing debate within the party about whether Trump’s resonance is beginning to fade as he lays the groundwork for a third presidential run in 2024. Other leading Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, and Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, are taking increasingly bold steps toward White House bids of their own. And many of Trump’s own supporters are eagerly embracing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as Trump’s natural successor as they look to the future. Pence, Pompeo and DeSantis are among those who have made clear that a Trump candidacy would not influence their own decisions about whether to run. If they do run, they will all be competing for support from the same conservatives who fueled Trump’s rise. Trump himself seems somewhat uncertain about how to navigate the political fallout from the past week, particularly the abortion ruling. He has privately expressed concern to aides that the decision could energize Democrats going into the November elections, The New York Times first reported. Indeed, in a Fox News interview after the abortion opinion was released, Trump said that, “in the end, this is something that will work out for everybody.” Asked about his own role in the eventual decision, Trump responded that, “God made the decision.” Trump grew more emboldened as Friday unfolded, raising money off the decision and issuing a statement in which he took full credit for what he called “the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation.” He said that it and “other decisions that have been announced recently, were only made possible because I delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected and strong Constitutionalists confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. It was my great honor to do so!” At a Saturday night rally, Trump took another victory lap to cheers from the crowd. “Yesterday the court handed down a victory for the Constitution, a victory for the rule of law, and above all, a victory for life,” he told supporters, who broke into a chant of “Thank you Trump!.” While Democrats are hoping the decision will galvanize its voters heading into November’s midterm elections, Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign and White House adviser, argued the decision would be beneficial to Trump’s future political prospects, helping to cement his standing with conservative voters if he runs again. “President Trump has been accepting his share of the credit for the Trump Court’s decision, as he should,” Caputo said. “This is yet another confirmation of his transformational presidency. Suburban Republican angst is a progressive myth; real suburban Republicans know their handwringing is performative: This decision simply moves the abortion issue to the states where it has always belonged.” Meanwhile, the Jan. 6 committee and related investigations, including a special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, looking at whether Trump and others illegally meddled in the 2020 election, continue to loom. As the committee has held a series of public hearings, few Republicans have surfaced to defend Trump’s actions, which increasingly drew comparisons to President Richard Nixon’s actions during the Watergate scandal 50 years ago. The committee last week showed how a defeated Trump tried to use the Justice Department for his own political ends, much the way Nixon fired his top ranks in the “Saturday Night Massacre” before his resignation. John Dean, who served as White House counsel to Nixon and famously testified against Nixon in hearings about the scandal, said that watching the three Trump-era Justice Department officials recount how Trump pressured them to investigate baseless allegations and threaten mass resignations brought him back to conversations he had had with Nixon. “I did fall back and was reminiscent of my March 21 ‘Cancer on the presidency’ conversation with Nixon where I kept pushing and escalating the problems. And he clearly had made up his mind,” he recounted. “Nothing I could say seemed to get through.” He said he hoped the Jan. 6 hearings would help the public “understand the seriousness of what Trump tried to do, that he is a threat to democracy and those who support him are a threat to democracy. Authoritarianism and democracy just don’t work together.”

Man Who Got Trans Surgery Realizes Too Late That He's Made a Huge Mistake, Then He Tries to Use the Bathroom We may soon be adding the letter a “D” to the seemingly endless initialisms that accompany “LGBTQ….” But this time it’s for “de-transitioner.” Ritchie Herron, 35, a civil servant living in Newcastle, England, is one of the growing number of individuals who mistook a struggle with mental health for gender dysphoria, according to the U.K. Daily Mail. Four years ago, Herron underwent an irreversible vaginoplasty operation, which he claims to have regretted the moment he woke up from surgery. During an interview published by the Daily Mail on Saturday, Herron said, “My first thought as I came round was ‘Oh God! What have I done?'” In addition to his emotional anguish, he told the newspaper that the simple act of emptying his bladder continues to be a painful, 10-minute process and his sex drive is nonexistent. He added that his crotch area is numb and “shell-shocked.” Herron is currently in the process of suing the U.K.’s National Health Service for being fast-tracked by an NHS “gender clinic” into “making the biggest mistake of his life.” The Daily Mail reports that, in the last decade, referrals to gender clinics has surged by an alarming 1,700 percent and most of these patients are children or young adults. Herron said he had “suppressed his homosexuality” for decades and now realizes that his “confusion” was caused by his inability to accept he was gay. According to the Daily Mail, Herron “says he buried his sexuality, which left him with depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder.” “[I]n his 20s, he stumbled across the idea of gender dysphoria in an internet chatroom. Older men on the forum convinced the vulnerable young man he ‘must be trans,’” the Daily Mail reported. “At that time for Ritchie, it felt like a lightbulb moment. After a series of breakdowns, in 2012 he decided to seek professional help.” Still on the NHS’s long waiting list in March 2014, he took out a payday loan to pay for a psychiatrist at a private gender clinic where “he was diagnosed with ‘transsexualism’ after just two 30-minute appointments,” the Daily Mail reported. He assumed the name of Abby, started wearing women’s clothes, and began taking testosterone blockers. In March 2015, Herron was referred to the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service and began seeing a psychiatrist at the NHS gender clinic in Newcastle. Herron told the Daily Mail: “The first question you get asked there is, ‘Do you want genital surgery?’ I wasn’t sure. But I’d heard you could get therapy if you were on the waiting list for surgery, so I said yes.” Concerned he was making a mistake, a close family member attended one of his appointments and, according to Herron, “She told the doctor I was on a high dose of antidepressants and had lots of complex issues, and yet they were referring me for gender treatment.” Still, in July 2015, he received a referral for the surgery. He said he wasn’t ready yet but kept receiving therapy, according to the Daily Mail. Two years later, he received a second referral. When he indicated he still wasn’t ready, he was informed he would be discharged from treatment at the clinic. His therapy, he said, had been a “lifeline.” The thought of ending therapy threw him into turmoil. He said he’d been feeling suicidal at the time. In May 2018, Herron had the surgery. He’s discovered since that surgeons have left him with a radically altered body that is no closer to being that of a woman than it was before. Attorney Peter Harthan is representing Herron in his lawsuit against NHS. Harthan told the Daily Mail that his client and others like him face “a lifetime of medical care and consequences” and “cannot be put back together again.” “My concern is clinicians failed to identify red flags and change direction,” Harthan said, according to the newspaper. “Proper consideration needs to be given to issues such as [obsessive-compulsive disorder], internalized homophobia, depression, drug use, sexual abuse and childhood trauma as potential reasons for patients’ rejecting their sexed body.” Herron told the Daily Mail, “I’m proof the whole system has to become far more robust. How many more people are there out there like me?” “This is an avalanche waiting to happen. Transition is now being sold to people on a mass scale … In a few years, I’m sure we’ll have law firms asking people if they transitioned and would like to claim compensation.” Herron is now in the process of de-transitioning. according to the Daily Mail. And he’s not alone. A number of transgenders have revealed public regrets about their decisions. Here is Herron discussing his situation in a YouTube interview in May: WARNING: The video contains language some viewers will find offensive. Young people, believing that changing their sex is the answer to their problems, might sign up for the surgery too quickly, only to become deeply disillusioned afterward. Herron, who posts on Twitter under the handle TullipR, explains: Perhaps Gender Clinics are overwhelmed because we explained away puberty, social awkwardness, trauma, OCD, Same sex attraction, gender non conformity and autism in a neat all-inclusive package that comes with its own community, available online 24/7. — TullipR 🦎🌈♂ (@TullipR) May 19, 2022 Imagine telling someone going through puberty that discomfort with your body is a sign of gender dysphoria. — TullipR 🦎🌈♂ (@TullipR) June 12, 2022 From his story, it looks like he was a vulnerable young man who was quickly pressured into this diagnosis and, eventually, to undergo surgery. Many young people, particularly adolescents, are mixed up and like Herron, think transitioning will solve their problems. Unfortunately, health professionals, school counselors and hip parents are often too quick to agree with them. Cases like Herron’s are a wakeup call. Rather than glamorizing this dangerous trend and worrying about offending transgenders, society needs to take a closer look at the irreversible damage it’s already inflicted on so many people. Responsible parties (and indeed the whole rotten system) should face a reckoning. These people are destroying the futures of vulnerable young people to the applause of Western liberals everywhere.

Three different Aurora players -- Morgan Stone, Mariah Nguyen and Morgan Turner -- scored in the match; two goals came on penalty kicks in the first half. "So many players have points which is impressive. That's helped build our confidence -- that anybody on the team can score at any time," head coach Nicole Lukic said. "Lots of quality minutes for lots of players today." The Lions' lone goal came off of the foot of Krystal Kohenskey, their leading scorer on the season. Aurora FC is in pole position for a playoff spot with just three games left in the regular season. They lead their division with 25 points, with the Green Bay Glory in second with 17.

By Chinenye Anuforo Industry collaboration is very essential to successful deployment of 5G Services in Nigeria, so says the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, who in Lagos, urged industry stakeholders to stand with the Commission to explore the prospects and potentials of the new technology, which is enormous. Danbatta, who spoke at the 90th Edition of the Telecom Consumer Parliament (TCP) hosted by the Consumer Affairs Bureau of the Commission, said the policy framework for the deployment has come into place and will facilitate deployment of services by the recent winners of the 3.5GHz spectrum auction, MTN Nigeria Communications Ltd and MAFAB Communications Ltd. He said the Commission has set out the regulatory instruments needed for fast deployment of the new versatile technology for the benefit of the consumers and the stakeholders. Danbatta, therefore, invited the support of all stakeholders to ensure that 5G technology is deployed in Nigeria in a manner beneficial to all telecom consumers and to support the emergent Digital Economy Policy of the Federal Government of Nigeria. He highlighted the potential use cases for 5G networks as broadly categorised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to include Enhanced Mobile broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC), as well as Ultra-reliable and Low-latency Communications (uLLC) “We will continue to collaborate with stakeholders across sectors to ensure faster deployment of 5G services, and accelerate the growth of Nigeria’s broadband infrastructure,” he said. He identified some challenges in the deployment to include limited frequencies with the required spectral efficiency, skilled professionals with requisite knowledge of the technology, fewer number of 5G-enabled devices, and cost of deployment but stated that the industry must work to turn the challenges into opportunities rather than seeing them as obstacles. Prof. Danbatta said the issues that should militate against or slow down the deployment of 5G technology are themselves opportunities that can potentially create new revenue streams or new subsectors in the industry. In the panel discussion on the presentation titled “5G Networks: Opportunities and Challenges” by Director, Technical Standards and Network Integrity, Bako Wakil, the Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management of NCC, Adeleke Adewolu, who chaired the panel session, urged all participants to exploit the opportunities offered by the 90th TCP to contribute to the deployment of 5G Network in Nigeria. “We must conclude this Telecom Consumer Parliament with solutions to challenges that are associated with 5G deployment in countries that had deployed the services ahead of Nigeria. We must also have a clear roadmap on how the opportunities offered by the technology can be maximized for the benefit of Nigerians” Adewolu said. The event was attended by representatives of Mobile Networks Operators (MNOs), the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Association of Telecom Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF), Association of Telecoms Cable TV and Internet Subscribers (ATCIS), and other key stakeholders in the telecom industry.

For the actress, this decision is a big ‘bullshit’ and a ‘war’ declared to women. Furious, the Oscar-winning star commented, “I’m outraged! What the Supreme Court did is MERD*. Something has to be done! Guns have more rights than women,” she wrote, in reference to the Supreme Court’s new ruling that allows American citizens to carry guns on the street. “Stop this war on women and keep your laws from our bodies. We have to banish together and NOT accept this! We can’t just post about it, we must DO SOMETHING about it.” Read+: Halle Berry regrets few black actresses at Oscars The actress joined in her speech to other celebrities such as Stephen King, Taylor Swift, among others.

According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the production team then immediately stopped recording and the police were called to investigate the situation, so that no one was at risk. “No one hesitated to call the police (…) Scotland Yard came, but the agents ruled out that it was a live bullet casing”. After what happened last year, productions have become much more attentive to all these details, and the use of real firearms is prohibited on any film set. follow Otox at the Google News and receive alerts on the main news about celebrities, soap operas, series, entertainment and more!

Rudy Giuliani was attacked by a worker at a ShopRite on Staten Island on Sunday while campaigning for his son, leaving the 78-year-old former New York City mayor shaken, witnesses and law-enforcement sources said. Giuliani told The Post he almost went down when he was hit but regained his composure — even as his attacker kept cursing at him. “My dad is tough as nails,” Giuliani’s gubernatorial-candidate son, Andrew Giuliani, said. Witness Rita Rugova-Johnson told The Post she was “stunned” during the attack at the supermarket on Veterans Road. “I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite,” Rugova-Johnson said. “We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up scumbag?’ “[The attacker] was on duty at the time,” the witness said. “The cops arrested him.” Sources said police took the assailant into custody at the store. The suspect, a 39-year-old from Staten Island, will be charged with second-degree assault involving a person over age 65, law-enforcement sources said. The man has no prior arrests, sources said. Cops were called to the supermarket shortly before 3:30 p.m., sources said. It is unclear if the former mayor sought medical attention after the attack. “He’s doing fine,” Andrew later said of his father. “But it’s a sad day when New Yorkers’ greatest crime fighter, ‘America’s Mayor,’ is attacked. I blame the left-wing for encouraging violence. This is crazy.” He said his father was in good spirits and even quipped that ” ‘I ran into the only person who is not voting for Andrew Giuliani.’ ” ‘I’m feelin’ good,’ ” he said his dad assured him. Rudy Giuliani, also a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, was campaigning for his son, including by posing for photos, at the time of the attack, said his partner, Dr. Maria Ryan, to The Post. The younger Giuliani is seeking the Republican nomination for New York’s governor, running in the primary against Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino and businessman Harry Wilson. “Rudy was assaulted,” Ryan said. “He’s a 78-year-old man with a bad back and bad knees.” Additional reporting by Joe Tacopino ,

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate Praise and lament for the overturning of abortion rights filled sacred spaces this weekend as clergy across the U.S. rearranged worship plans or rewrote sermons to provide their religious context -- and competing messages -- about the historic moment. Abortion is a visceral issue for deeply divided religious Americans. Some are sad or angry in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s seismic Dobbs v. Jackson decision Friday. Others are grateful and elated. At St. Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh, the Very Rev. Kris Stubna discarded his planned Sunday homily and focused on the decision, calling it “a day of great joy and blessing.” He said the overturning of the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade ruling was the result of prayers and efforts of many Catholics and others. “This law violated the very law of God, that every life is sacred,” he said. “A person cannot support abortion and still be a faithful member of the church.” Stubna’s comments would be considered divisive by some since U.S. Catholics disagree on abortion rights. Supporters include high-profile members of the faith like President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who face Communion restrictions as a result. Not everyone sat through Stubna’s entire homily. Although unable to ask their reasons, an Associated Press photographer saw one woman leave during it. Security personnel estimated three others also exited early. Views on abortions are not just polarizing within denominations; the divisions span the religious landscape. “SCOTUS just dealt a terrible blow to women, to girls, to all childbearing people, to freedom,” said the Rev. Jacqui Lewis, senior minister at Middle Collegiate Church, a multicultural Protestant congregation in Manhattan. She mourned the overturning of Roe, expressing deep emotions during a service Sunday, saying, “It took safe legal abortions off the table, opening the door for states to rush in and crush reproductive justice. We are reeling. Spinning. So hurt we can hardly move. We are feeling the loss, the pain of it.” A majority of adults from Buddhist, Hindu, historically Black Protestant, Jewish, mainline Protestant, Muslim and Orthodox Christian faiths support legal abortion in all or most cases, according to a Pew Research Center’s Religious Landscape Study. Rabbi Sarah DePaolo carved out time at the start of Friday night’s Shabbat service at Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot in Irvine, California, to express her disappointment, urging community members to support each other and create space for the fearful. “One of the most upsetting things about this decision is that while it claims to represent people of faith, it does not represent our faith,” DePaolo said. “It does not reflect our Jewish law. It does not reflect our traditions. It does not reflect our community.” Catholics are split on the issue while most evangelical Protestants, Jehovah’s Witnesses and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say abortion should be illegal in all or most instances, according to the Pew Research Center study. The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, views the ruling as a moral and spiritual victory. On Sunday, he told his California congregation at New Season that now is the time for an unprecedented adoption movement. “We’re gonna adopt babies, but we’re gonna adopt moms, pregnant moms ... who have abortions because they can’t afford to have a baby,” he said. Southern Baptists, who are members of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, are staunch supporters of anti-abortion views. On Sunday, several pastors praised the ruling from their pulpits. The congregation at First Baptist Concord in Knoxville, Tennessee, broke into applause when Pastor John Mark Harrison addressed it. He invited a panel of advocates to explain how everyone can continue supporting those with unwanted pregnancies via mentorship, fostering, adoption, addressing systemic issues and more. “There's so much anger and emotion," Harrison said. "What we need to understand is that we’re not called to fuel the emotions of the right or the left. We’re called to walk in and through the gospel of Jesus Christ ... and minister to real people in real times of crisis.” At Central Church, in College Station, Texas, lead Pastor Phillip Bethancourt echoed that overturning Roe is not the finish line: "It’s the starting gate of a new chapter. Abortion should be not just be unlawful but unnecessary and unthinkable.” David Rhoades, lead pastor of Broadview Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas, said in an email the court decision was on a par with the Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth, and will reverberate for years. He hoped church members left Sunday's service with a clear understanding of what they must do next, including ”minister to both the baby and its mother, and continue to work to elect pro-life representatives.” Other faith leaders doubled down on their support for abortion rights. Women should be able to make their own decisions, preached the Rev. Fletcher Harper at the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour in Secaucus, New Jersey. “Outlawing abortion is a sinful act that perpetuates male domination and the subjugation of women,” he said. “It extends the coercive power of the state into a place where it should have no business.” During a service Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, director of music Mary Pratt read aloud a denominational statement affirming it would remain “committed to reproductive justice." Pratt said members were shocked and grieving, although they expected the outcome. “They were looking for reminders of why we need to get back out and fight," she said. The start of services at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Durham, North Carolina, included two verses of “We Shall Overcome” and a prayer by the Rev. Melinda Keenan Wood for those outraged, heartbroken and fearful about Roe's demise. “We know that this decision will be measured in deaths, incarcerations and life-altering trauma as politicians rush to control the most painfully intimate of decisions,” Keenan Wood said. A prominent Black pastor in Columbus, Ohio — Bishop Timothy Clarke of the First Church of God — tried to strike a balance in his Saturday message to congregants, acknowledging conflicting views on abortion and calling on the church to show compassion. “I know and love persons in both camps,” Clarke said. “They are sincere, committed. ... They truly see this as a life altering issue." ___ Meyer reported from Nashville, Tennessee, and Crary from New York.

The new film has been heavily praised and promoted by Priscilla and her daughter, The King’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley. There has been universal praise for Austin Butler’s evocation of the greatest icon in music history. However, many fans, as well as Elvis’ own family (on his mother Gladys’ side) and Linda Thompson have all questioned why so many important people and moments were erased – especially in the portrayal of the star’s final years. Linda posted today: “Elvis did not curl into a fetal position and give up on life in 1973.” The movie shows Priscilla finally leaving Elvis after his historic televised concert, Aloha From Hawaii, on January 14, 1973. Fans have already pointed out this is not at all true. The couple actually separated in February 1972 and quickly filed for divorce. The actual divorce was finalised in October 1973, but Elvis had already been with Linda for fifteen months by then, since July 1972. Linda has already spoken out once about being dropped from Elvis’ story, saying: “I literally saved his life on several occasions… So any inclusion or exclusion in any movie ever made can never erase the important role I played in his life and he in mine. But every true fan already knows that. Thank you all for your loyalty.” And now the row has centred on the extraordinary Aloha From Hawaii show, where Linda was proudly by an extremely happy and healthy King’s side. Linda added: “Further proof that Elvis did not curl into a fetal position and give up on life in 1973. He had more years of happiness…living, loving and laughing!” In fact, despite that popular impression of many years of overweight decline, Elvis looks remarkably healthy and full of life in the show. He had been on a diet, cut back on prescription pills and was invigorated and inspired. And Linda previously also made it clear she would defend her place in his history: “Yes, after the first year he began to have short-lived “dalliances“ but they were never anything more than that. Facts: I always knew where his heart was. I was his only live-in girlfriend for those years. We shared incredibly intimate times together including his hospital stays. I was at every Vegas engagement, every tour, every holiday, every important event of his during those years. That defines a real girlfriend. Not someone who has an occasional rendezvous.” Linda added: “I am very confident of my place in his history. And those who know… Really know. I’m just saying.” Her comments about the portrayal of his final years were also echoed by Elvis’ fiancée, Ginger Alden, who he dated for the final eight months of his life. Ginger posted: ‘I am sure fine acting was done by the cast, showcasing what made Elvis unique and special to so many of us. Please remember through some ups and downs, he did go on to love, laugh and enjoy his later life.” Source link

'Mitt Romney Republican' is now a potent attack in GOP primaries SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney isn't up for reelection this year. But Trump-aligned Republicans hostile toward the Utah senator have made his name a recurring theme in this year's primaries, using him as a foil and derisively branding their rivals “Mitt Romney Republicans." Republicans have used the concept to frame their primary opponents as enemies of the Trump-era GOP in southeast Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The anti-tax group Club For Growth, among the most active super PACs in this year's primaries, used “Mitt Romney Republican” as the central premise of an attack ad in North Carolina's Senate primary. But nowhere are references to Romney Republicanism as common as they are in Utah. Despite his popularity with many residents here, candidates are repeatedly deploying “Mitt Romney Republican” as a campaign trail attack in the lead-up to Tuesday’s Republican primary. “There are two different wings in the Republican Party,” Chris Herrod, a former state lawmaker running in suburban Utah’s 3rd Congressional District, said in a debate last month. “If you’re more aligned with Mitt Romney and Spencer Cox,” he added, referring to Utah’s governor, “then I’m probably not your guy.” The fact that his brand has become potent attack fodder reflect how singular Romney's position is in U.S. politics: He's the only senator with the nationwide name recognition that comes from being a presidential nominee and the only Republican who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump twice. “It’s kind of a puzzlement, actually,” said Becky Edwards, an anti-Trump Republican running in Utah's Senate primary. As one of the most famous members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Romney is revered by many in Utah, where the church is a dominant presence in politics and culture. He won praise for turning around Salt Lake City's 2002 Winter Olympics after a bribery scandal. After moving to Utah full-time more than a decade ago, he breezed to victory in the state's Senate race in 2018. He did not respond to requests for comment on this story. Herrod, who went to Las Vegas to campaign for Romney in 2012, said in an interview that referring to Romney was effective shorthand — a way to tell voters about his own belief system as well as that of incumbent Republican Rep. John Curtis. Herrod has attacked Curtis for his positions on energy policy and for founding Congress' Conservative Climate Caucus. “In the midst of a campaign, it’s kind of tough to draw a line. I just put it in terms I thought people would understand,” Herrod said. The Curtis campaign said the congressman was more focused on legislation and passing bills than branding. “Congressman Curtis doesn’t spend his time labeling himself or other Republicans,” his campaign manager, Adrielle Herring, said in a statement. Much like Herrod, Andrew Badger, a candidate running in northern Utah's 1st Congressional District, frames his primary campaign as a “tug of war” between two competing factions within the Republican Party. He describes one as the moderate, compromise-friendly wing embodied by Romney and the other as the conservative wing embodied by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a frequent guest of FOX News who is often the Senate's lone “no” vote. Both Badger and Herrod acknowledge attacking Romney may turn off some voters, four years after he easily defeated a right-wing state lawmaker in Utah’s Republican primary and a Democrat in the general election. But they question the durability of his support given how the last six years have broadly transformed Republican politics. “There’s a lot more frustration, and it’s only building. I don’t think he would win in a vote today, certainly not in a Republican primary,” Badger said. 2022 primary election voter guide:Candidates, issues and how to vote in Southern Utah Badger in his campaign has focused on simmering outrage stemming from the 2020 election and anger over coronavirus mandates and how race, gender and sexuality are taught in K-12 schools. He has attempted to draw a direct line between Romney and his opponent, incumbent Rep. Blake Moore, by attacking Moore for being one of 35 House Republicans to vote to create an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection. In a district where support for Trump remains strong, he’s likened Moore’s vote to Romney’s two votes in favor of impeachment. “These folks like Mitt Romney and Blake Moore, they always cave to the left when the pressure gets turned on them,” Badger said. “We’re not going to compromise for the sake of compromise.” Moore did not vote for impeachment. After the Senate scuttled the commission, Moore, along with all but two House Republicans, voted against the creation of the Jan. 6 select committee that ultimately convened. In response to Moore being labeled a “Mitt Romney Republican," Caroline Tucker, the congressman's campaign spokesperson, said he could be best described a “Big Tent Republican” who doesn't think the process of lawmaking requires abandoning his conservative principles. Jason Perry, director of University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics, said the label “Mitt Romney Republican” may appeal to some Republican primary voters, but given Romney’s popularity, it likely won’t work in Utah, he said. “They’re appealing to a segment of the Republican Party but probably do not have the numbers on that far-right side to be successful,” Perry said.

As nearly two dozen states move to ban or restrict access to abortion following Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights protests continued across the country. Marchers streamed through downtown Boston on Saturday, with changes of "What do we want? Abortion rights," according to GBH's Jeremy Siegel. The scene outside Government Center in Boston a day after #SCOTUS overturns #RoeVWade — Jeremy Siegel (@jersiegel) June 25, 2022 @GBHNews pic.twitter.com/b8dOMgm9oF In Philadelphia, Democratic attorney general and candidate for governor Josh Shapiro held a rally near the Liberty Bell, putting November's election in focus. With a GOP majority in both chambers, the Keystone State could restrict abortion if a Republican wins the gubernatorial race. Shapiro told the crowd of more than a thousand, "The reason why I'm hopeful today is because you're here," reported WHYY's Emily Rizzo. I’m at the National Constitution Center in Philly, where Josh Shapiro and other local officials are rallying in support of abortion rights. After speaking to just a few people, there’s lots of anger and concern that so much hinges on this race for governor. pic.twitter.com/gQ1iZbxX4O — Emily Rizzo (@_emilyrizzo_) June 25, 2022 In a statement, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate, said, "Roe v. Wade is rightly relegated to the ash heap of history." He is the prime sponsor of a bill to restrict abortion in Pennsylvania. In Washington, D.C., protesters in favor of abortion rights continued gathering in front of the Supreme Court building, NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports. Anyway here are some photos of people out protesting. pic.twitter.com/OAVFFhseFs — Danielle Kurtzleben (@titonka) June 25, 2022 One man even slept on top of D.C.'s Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge as a form of protest, Business Insider reports. While most rallies were entirely peaceful, deputies with the Arizona Department of Public Safety fired tear gas at demonstrators outside of the capitol building in Phoenix on Friday. It briefly disrupted the legislative session, according to KJZZ's Ben Giles. "Republican state Sen. T.J. Shope said senators briefly evacuated the chamber and sheltered in an underground tunnel connecting the House and Senate before returning to work," he reported on Saturday.

The Detroit Lions have a variety of players that could take the next step and become Pro Bowlers during the 2022 season. From wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and EDGE Julian Okwara, to offensive linemen Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell, the list is rather expansive. Yet, for the sake of this piece, let’s take a look at the three members of the Lions that I believe have the best chance of being Pro Bowlers during the upcoming season. CB AMANI ORUWARIYE Oruwariye is on the verge of gaining the status of a shutdown cornerback. The fourth-year pro is coming off a season in which he amassed a career-best six interceptions, to go along with a career-high 11 passes defensed, a fumble recovery and 57 total tackles. He was by far Detroit’s best cover corner a year ago, and if he can at least come close to sustaining his production from a year ago, he’s got a solid shot at locking up his first career Pro Bowl nod. RB D’ANDRE SWIFT The all-purpose yards darling for the Lions has a chance to earn his first Pro Bowl berth, if he can stay healthy for a full season. It’ll be easier said than done for the third-year pro, as he’s never suited up for more than 13 games in a season. However, when he has played, he’s been productive as both a runner and a pass-catcher. The Georgia product amassed a team-high 617 yards and five touchdowns, on a career-best 151 rushing attempts, in 2021. It was good for 4.1 yards per carry. Additionally, he recorded 62 receptions for 452 yards and two scores a season ago. Those 62 catches were good for the second-highest total on Detroit’s roster in 2021. And, for the year, he totaled 1,069 yards from scrimmage. I think the 23-year-old can add to that mark and become an even more versatile threat for the Lions’ offense in 2022. And, if such occurs, he has a solid opportunity at becoming a Pro Bowler for the first time. EDGE AIDAN HUTCHINSON I know I might be setting the bar too high for Hutchinson in his first year as a pro. However, he was the No. 2 overall pick for a reason, and he’s expected to be a game-changing pass rusher for a long time at the NFL level. He’s also been “all business” in his short time as a member of the Lions. “He’s been all business. I told my wife this last night. I was like, ‘You know what’s great about him is he’s quietly getting better right in front of us.’ He doesn’t say anything. He listens,” Detroit head coach Dan Campbell told reporters during minicamp. “He’s like a sponge in there. He absorbs the information. He watches how things are done and the way coaches want them done, and then he’s got a motor and he goes. He learns and gets better every day. You just see it. So, I love that about him. Every day, there’s growth right in front of us.” From all accounts, Hutchinson, who produced a single-season University of Michigan record 14 sacks in his final season with the Wolverines, is trending in the right direction. Pro Football Focus believes he’ll be an impact defender right away, too. The site is projecting the Michigan native to account for 57.0 pressures, 9.4 sacks and 16.5 run stops in 2022, PFF’s best statistical projection for an EDGE defender from the 2022 draft class. If Hutchinson puts together those numbers, he has a chance at earning a trip to the Pro Bowl in his very first season as a pro. This article was produced by the staff at Sports Illustrated/All Lions.

The Los Angeles Lakers can breathe a sigh of relief as the Boston Celtics fell to the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals. The Lakers just endured their worst season ever when you consider the talent on the roster and the championship expectations heading into the 2021-22 season, so a Celtics title would have been an absolute disaster. Instead, the two iconic franchises remain tied with 17 championships apiece and both squads will look to break the deadlock again during the 2022-23 season. For the Warriors, their return to prominence is nothing short of remarkable given their dynasty looked to be over. Stephen Curry finally quieted any doubters by earning his first Finals MVP and Golden State will look just as formidable next year. His series against the Celtics is a perfect explanation for why LeBron James named him as the player he would most like to hypothetically play with. In fact, analysts like ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith have already picked Curry and the Warriors to win the 2023 NBA Championship. Smith also emphasized this would put Curry’s ring count over players like LeBron James, via ESPN’s “First Take”: “I got the Warriors repeating. They are winning the NBA championship again next year. This time next year, Steph Curry will surpass LeBron James, and he will have five chips. He will tie Kobe Bryant. He will surpass Shaquille O’Neal. He’ll have more chips than Shaquille. He’ll have more chips than LeBron. He’ll have just as many as Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. The Golden State Warriors are winning the championship again next year.” The media loves to drum up drama between James and Curry as the two superstars have had their fair share of Finals battles. Curry holds a 3-1 edge over James in the Finals, but the latter has been dominant in each series and even led an improbable comeback down 3-1 in the 2016 Finals. Lakers fans might not be too bothered by Curry possibly surpassing James in championships, but the latter’s fans would probably find that as a worst case scenario. While Curry is set up to win again next season, James and Los Angeles will need to find their way back to the top the hard way. Tracy McGrady says Stephen Curry not on same level as Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson Despite his Hall of Fame resume, Curry has not quite won over everyone when it comes to his place amongst the all-time greats. For example, Tracy McGrady believes Curry has yet to reach the same level as Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson. Have you subscribed to our YouTube channel?

Yoon to depart for Spain to attend NATO summit By Lee Haye-ah SEOUL, June 27 (Yonhap) -- President Yoon Suk-yeol is set to depart for Spain on Monday to attend a NATO summit and meet with world leaders to discuss security and economic issues on his first overseas trip as president. South Korea is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) but has been invited as a partner nation, along with Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Yoon will be the first South Korean president to attend a NATO summit. On the sidelines, Yoon plans to hold a three-way summit Wednesday with U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the first such gathering in four years and nine months since the last meeting was held in September 2017. However, an anticipated one-on-one meeting with Kishida will not take place, officials said, as protracted rows over historical disputes, such as wartime forced labor and sexual slavery, still weigh on relations between the two countries. Other events Yoon plans to attend in Madrid include bilateral summits with the leaders of Finland, NATO, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Britain; a gala dinner hosted by Spanish King Felipe and Queen Letizia on Tuesday; a dinner with South Korean residents in Spain on Wednesday; and a lunch meeting with Spanish businesspeople on Thursday. First lady Kim Keon-hee will travel together with Yoon. Yoon's attendance at the NATO summit will achieve three purposes, including strengthening the "value alliance" based on a liberal democracy with the 30 NATO member states and partner nations, according to National Security Adviser Kim Sung-han. The president will also build the foundation for a "comprehensive security network" with NATO states and explore ways to effectively respond to emerging security threats, such as cyber and aerospace threats, and climate change, Kim told reporters last week. On the occasion of the NATO summit, South Korea has announced plans to establish a mission to NATO in Brussels, Belgium, where the organization is headquartered. During the series of bilateral summits, Yoon will discuss economic issues, such as nuclear power, semiconductors and renewable energy; seek international support for South Korea's bid to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan; and strengthen cooperation over North Korea's nuclear weapons program, presidential officials said. In addition, Yoon is expected to have pull-aside meetings with the president of the European Commission, and the leaders of Canada and Romania. No bilateral meeting, including a pull-aside, is planned between Yoon and Kishida, as it is unlikely to produce results, presidential officials said, noting the two countries have yet to hold detailed talks on their historical disputes since the Yoon administration took office on May 10. The possibility of a bilateral summit was a focus of media attention as it would have been the first between the two countries in 2 1/2 years. In his speech to NATO members and partner nations on Wednesday, Yoon will recall the history of cooperation between South Korea and NATO since the two sides established a partnership in 2006, presidential officials said. He will also talk about Europe's evolving security goals and areas for cooperation between South Korea and NATO states on emerging security issues, and call for NATO's interest and cooperation with regard to North Korea's nuclear issue. First lady Kim will take part in an official program for spouses, including visits to the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, a glass factory and the Reina Sofia Museum. National Security Adviser Kim will stay behind in Seoul, given the security situation amid concern about a possible North Korean nuclear test. In the event North Korea carries out such a provocation while Yoon is out of the country, the government has prepared immediate to mid- to long-term response measures under every scenario, including who will preside over a National Security Council meeting in Seoul and how the president will connect virtually, presidential officials said. The president will return to Seoul on Friday. hague@yna.co.kr (END)

Which 4K TV is best? 4K TVs aren’t just increasingly common. Few 1080p TVs are still on the market, and these are becoming exceedingly outdated. Aside from brighter and bolder TVs, the mainstream adoption of the Ultra HD standard also means lower prices, even for high-performance models. In fact, you can now get your hands on a TV with support for advanced techniques, like HDR, without spending an absolute fortune. Widely considered the best 4K TV on the market, the LG C1 is the latest in LG’s line of premium OLED. What to know before you buy a 4K TV Size 4K TVs range in size from 42 inches all the way to 88 inches. They all have the same number of pixels, so as a TV gets larger, it will be easier to see pixelation when up close. Most people sit roughly 6-8 feet away while watching TV, which is why 55-inch and 65-inch TVs are the most popular by far. It’s OK to err somewhat on the side of a larger TV, as you still won’t be able to pick out individual pixels with the naked eye if you’re sitting 7 feet away from a 72-inch screen. At a certain point, though, too large of a TV will make it hard to pay attention to the entire screen at once, making it difficult to enjoy most content. Programming Different TVs excel when watching various kinds of content. Movies, for example, benefit from HDR as there are simply most movies rather than TV shows encoded with HDR formatting. Sitcoms or dramas tend to look better on IPS panels because they have significantly wider viewing angles than more common VA panels. While sporting events also tend to benefit from wide viewing angles, courts and fields of consistent colors can fall victim to inconsistent grays and colors, which can be distracting in the middle of a game. Finally, if you plan on gaming on your new 4K TV, there’s a host of other features to look for. What to look for in a quality 4K TV Contrast ratio On its most basic level, the contrast ratio is the measured difference between two on-screen colors. In real-world terms, a high contrast ratio lets a TV display the boldest parts of a scene accurately while maintaining deep, consistent black and gray levels throughout the frame. It’s one of the most worthwhile features to keep your eye on when selecting a 4K TV. Wide color gamut The volume of colors that a display can produce is called the gamut, and it’s an important aspect to consider on both entry-level and high-end 4K TVs. Not only does a wide color gamut make the content look bolder, but it’s also an absolute must-have if you plan on taking advantage of HDR content. High refresh rate A 60Hz panel updates the image on screen 60 times per second, and a 120Hz panel does so 120 times per second. For years, 60Hz was the only refresh rate available on 4K TVs, but with the advent of HDMI 2.1, that’s finally changing. While it’s true that most recorded content won’t directly benefit from this upgrade, there are indirect benefits. Movies, which are still recorded at 24 FPS, play more smoothly on a 120Hz panel than a 60Hz panel, for example. Frame interpolation Also known as motion smoothing and proprietary names like Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus, frame interpolation is a method modern 4K TVs use to essentially estimate what’s going to come in between two frames of video data and simulate the in-between frame. Almost all 4K TVs have this. This helps eliminate the “soap opera effect,” which is when shows are recorded at a very high frame rate and appear unnaturally smooth. Advanced gaming features Now that the latest consoles support 4K output at 120Hz, gamers can finally take full advantage of high-end 4K TVs. Those same high-end TVs are also increasingly equipped with premium gaming features, like auto low latency mode, which detects when you’re using a game system and enters into a gaming mode with low input lag. Even more important is having a variable refresh rate, which lets the TV match its refresh rate to the frame rate output of the gaming console. This eliminates screen tearing and stuttering you’d otherwise see when the frame rate and refresh rate don’t match. How much you can expect to spend on a 4K TV You can spend as little as $300 on a basic 4K TV, while the biggest premium models can easily approach several thousand dollars. For what’s realistically the best image quality on a set as large as 82 inches though, look to spend in the neighborhood of $4,000-$5,000. 4K TV FAQ Are OLED TVs worth the money? A. That depends. A couple of the top-rated TVs on the market use OLED technology. Across the board, OLED TVs are significantly more expensive than all but the top-of-the-line LCD models. Also, because all OLED TV panels are manufactured by LG Display, there isn’t a lot of difference in the performance of various OLED TVs, so you’ll see diminishing returns as you consider more exorbitant OLED models. However, every OLED TV currently available is pretty much guaranteed to be a premium TV set. Do I need HDMI 2.1? A. Maybe. HDMI 2.1 is a relatively recent standard that adds a few important features, like an enhanced audio return channel, making it significantly easier to wire a surround sound setup. Probably the most important part of the HDMI 2.1 standard is the increased bandwidth, allowing for a 4K image at 120Hz. If there’s a chance you’ll invest in the latest-generation gaming console, then HDMI 2.1 is the kind of future-proof feature you may want to consider. What are the best 4K TVS to buy? Top 4K TV What you need to know: The top choice among experts and movie buffs alike, this high-performance OLED TV packs tons of features and a nearly perfect picture. What you’ll love: The technology driving this one uses self-illuminated pixels, which means there’s no color washout when viewed from an angle, blacks look perfectly black instead of gray and there’s no light bleed or blooming like you’ll find on many LCD TVs. Its 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 compatibility make it an ideal HDR-capable display for the latest gaming consoles. What you should consider: It’s quite expensive, and if you want it to remain in absolutely perfect condition for many years, you might have to take some extra precautions when using it for gaming to avoid long-term burn-in. Most users, however, shouldn’t have to worry about burn-in. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Top 4K TV for the money What you need to know: Once known mostly for its user-friendly Roku operating system, TCL’s line of 4K TVs has expanded to include premium image quality at a low price. What you’ll love: This is a budget-friendly 4K TVs with impressive performance. It’s among the rare TVs in its price range with both local dimming and quantum dot technology, which combine to deliver a great HDR experience. What you should consider: It doesn’t offer a variable refresh rate, and it’s limited to a 60Hz output, so it’s not optimal for those who have already invested in the latest gaming hardware. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Worth checking out What you need to know: Essentially in the middle of Samsung’s 4K TV lineup, the Q80A combines some of their high-end features with a mid-range price. What you’ll love: The quantum dot filtration that Samsung popularized is on full display here, delivering an impressive color gamut that makes movies and games look great. It’s also equipped with the most useful gaming features like a variable refresh rate. It also offers direct full-array backlighting, which lets the screen dim and brighten different sections to bring out highlights in HDR content. What you should consider: Like most TVs that have VA panels, its viewing angles are relatively narrow. Plus, while it’s not Samsung’s top-of-the-line model, it’s not exactly cheap.

Updated June 26, 2022 at 6:20 PM ET As nearly two dozen states move to ban or restrict access to abortion following Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights protests continued across the country. In Alabama, hundreds gathered on Saturday in Birmingham, reciting poems, dancing and spreading hugs, all in support of reproductive rights, according to WBHM's Miranda Fulmore.

Which oil mister is best? For many people, the thought of spraying oil doesn’t go past an aerosol can for greasing baking sheets, but there are many culinary occasions in which a spritz of oil makes a massive difference. Whether coating a grill during a cookout, dressing a salad or greasing a pan for clean release, having an oil mister provides a one-stop upgrade to your kitchen set. Learning how to find and use the best oil mister for you is often less straightforward, but this top pick from Delta won’t lead you astray. What to know before you buy an oil mister Reducing oil use If you want to cut back on your oil intake or save money on how much oil you use, an oil mister can definitely help. Because of the control that comes with the mist, you can get oil spread evenly across dishes and surfaces without pouring or spreading by hand, which reduces the amount of oil you consume over time. For more detailed information, check out this full article from BestReviews. Preventing food sticking The most obvious use of an oil mister is greasing pans. Whether you’re baking, roasting, grilling or frying food, spraying the pan with oil will prevent sticking and breaking without adding too much extra oil into your dish. Finishing dishes A spritz of olive oil or vinegar can be the perfect finishing touch on top of a delicious salad or a juicy salmon without the need for basting or tossing. A light mist from an oil mister also gives added moisture so that your seasonings will stick to your food. What to look for in a quality oil mister Trigger vs. pump There are two main mechanisms that oil misters use: triggers and pumps. Pumps, which are the most common, work like a typical cooking spray that you press with one finger. Trigger mechanisms, on the other hand, work by pulling the trigger toward yourself with one or two fingers, like a typical household cleaning spray bottle. Trigger mechanisms tend to be more durable and produce a more even coat, but they are typically pricier. Material The most common materials for oil misters are plastic, glass and stainless steel. Each has benefits and disadvantages. Plastic is cheaper and easier to produce than other options and is shatterproof. Plastic can crack, however, and some users avoid it because it can be hard to fully remove grease residue or for environmental reasons. Glass is nonporous, meaning it won’t absorb the flavor or grease from the oil, which helps when switching between different oils. Glass is more fragile, however, and may shatter when dropped with enough force. Stainless steel doesn’t shatter or crack, making it the most durable. It also maintains temperature without being affected by light. The downside to stainless steel is it can smudge easily and is not clear, so it can be hard to tell when the oil is running out. Capacity You want your oil mister to hold the right amount of oil for how much you will be using it. If you plan to use it daily or almost daily, you’ll want a high-capacity mister, so you don’t have to refill it too often. If you’ll be using your mister infrequently, opt for a space-saving model with a smaller capacity so you can use up the oil before the bottle needs cleaning. Spray type It is important to remember that some oil misters will emit more of a stream of oil than an actual mist. If that even coating mist is a priority for you, pay attention to the description when choosing a product. How much you can expect to spend on an oil mister Overall, you can expect to pay between $10-$30 on an oil mister. Cheaper models can be found below $10, but they typically wear out or malfunction after a shorter amount of time than others. Mid-range misters cost between $10-$15, which are decent, easy to use and inexpensive. For $15-$25, you’ll find high-end misters with large capacities and full mists. Oil mister FAQ Can I use my oil mister for other liquids? A. Oil misters are designed for oil, which is viscous, so thinner liquids don’t work as well. However, many misters handle vinegar, wine and other liquids quite well. Check the product information on your particular oil mister to see if it’s recommended for use with other liquids. How often should I clean my oil mister? A. A good rule of thumb is to clean your mister every time you go to refill it. If you don’t refill it often, six to eight weeks is a safe window for cleaning. If you don’t clean it regularly, it could get clogged or the oil may start to spoil. Are oil misters dishwasher safe? A. This will generally depend on your particular model. Handwashing is usually safer, but some mister bottles do well in dishwashers. Those that say they’re dishwasher safe usually refer only to the bottle portion, not the spray mechanism itself. What’s the best oil mister to buy? Top oil mister What you need to know: This large capacity oil sprayer is easy to use and consistent, ideal for families or large households. What you’ll love: This stainless steel bottle protects your oil from light and holds up to 16 ounces of oil. Pump free, consistent and usable with a variety of oils, this is a great all-around pick. What you should consider: The mist trigger mechanism can take some getting used to. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Top oil mister for the money What you need to know: This glass oil mister has the essentials at a budget-friendly price. What you’ll love: Easy to pump and straightforward, this mister dispenses just the right amount of mist for a perfect salad. It can be used with oils, vinegars and wines. What you should consider: Because the bottle is glass, dropping it may cause it to shatter. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Worth checking out Chefvantage Premium Olive Oil Mister What you need to know: This minimalistic oil mister provides a clog-free spray without needing a lot of pumping and will look nice resting on the counter.

Game, set and matchy matchy: JO ELVIN explains coordinated separates — the foolproof way to look pulled together - Jo Elvin reveals how to make coordinated separates work - Says a favourite co-ord in her wardrobe is a wool polo-shirt and cropped trousers - Adds that whatever co-ord you go for you will look very put together Sometimes when dressing in the morning, I'll put on a top and trousers, look in the mirror and think: 'Do these two things go together?' I suffer from occasional 'fashion blindness' because my head is too full of stuff. No woman can make flawless style decisions every single day. In the face of such sartorial crises, I undress and reach for an outfit that's done all the thinking for me: the mighty co-ord — where the top and bottom are matchy-matchy in colour and a fancy print. No fuss. No stress. Those two things do go together. More pressing affairs can now be addressed. A favourite co-ord in my wardrobe is a wool polo-shirt and cropped, flared trousers in the same black and green diamond-print. In it, I look like I'm off to play golf in Florida in 1974. But in a good way. Indeed, I always think of the co-ord's first heyday as the 1970s. Margo from The Good Life comes to mind. I reckon she'd have added a natty headscarf to hers. There's nothing more useful than the co-ord for its genius blend of comfort and glamour. The pink and white, loose-flowing number from Essentiel Antwerp? A perfect summer party or wedding option: pretty and dressed-up, but in a floaty, breathable fabric that will keep you the coolest guest on any hot summer night. I bet co-ord super fan, Trinny Woodall, would team it with platform trainers, but it'll also look fabulous with a strappy heel. I know some of these bold prints are daunting and may get you stared at on the train. If that makes you tense, there are more subtle options. I've seen a lovely cotton and lace trouser co-ord in Zara in periwinkle — striking, yes, but in no way crackers. There's no reason why a print phobia should deprive you of this particular brand of no-brainer dressing. But whatever option you go for, I guarantee this: in a co-ord, it won't matter how inwardly crumpled you might be feeling on any given day, you'll always look immaculately put together. That's a rare kindness from the fashion gods, so I'll take it.

Consell is manipulating the economy and will show management with a crisis in the making Konsel’s argument for the remainder of the legislature will be led by the administration and the good health that the autonomy’s economic indicators have. Recent bets by Volkswagen and Ford to the Valencia community have given the Valencia government reasons to strengthen this profile of serious management capable of attracting investment even with competition from other leading industrial regions. The pocket weighs a lot when choosing a ballot, and they at Botanic believe it will help turn the page on the coalition’s worst week after the inclusion and subsequent resignation of Monica Ultra. The strategy is as straightforward as it is risky. The global economic scenario has been showing signs of jitters for weeks, and if the worst omens materialize, it could make it difficult for Consell to sustain that boom story from the fall. The inflation spiral does not subside, financial markets are returning to put the debts of some countries like Spain at rock bottom and recession appears in the United States and the European Union in the face of 2023, the year of elections. A diabolical global situation in which the independent government has a very limited margin of intervention beyond the launch of some specific aid packages, but the Council links its fate to it. Especially President Ximo Puig, a figure who is subjected to revenue capture or wear and tear from the move, in the absence of seeing the role of partners. Likewise, they at the Generalitat have an additional handicap in this task of defining the administrative profile: the two great economic parameters, the massive Sagunt battery factory and the longevity of the Almussafes factory, will remain ‘invisible’ in the numbers when I go to the polls. It represents a historic opportunity to address the long-awaited change in the C. Valenciana production model and has the potential to turn autonomy into the new mobility standard in Europe, but it will not have an impact on the real economy until halfway. Of the decade, as the massive Volkswagen plant won’t be active until at least 2026 and Mussafah still faces a convulsive period with potential layoffs until Ford-promised models arrive from 2025. Zemo Puig himself warned of this after the announcement of the American automaker: the abyss has been averted but there are still bitter pills in the resort area. In any case, Ford’s election freed the trio, especially the president, from the opposition’s suffering due to their inability to seize the investment, which Saarland’s Prime Minister, Anke Rellinger (SPD) considered. already suffering. “Award-winning zombie scholar. Music practitioner. Food expert. Troublemaker.”

Levelling up the UK’s cities will require investment that goes “far beyond anything currently being contemplated” by the Government, a think tank has said. A report published on Monday by the Resolution Foundation found that differences in income were both “significant” and “persistent”, with only traditionally poorer areas of inner London such as Hackney and Newham significantly improving their position over the last 25 years. At its most extreme, the report found that income per person in the richest part of the country, Kensington and Chelsea, was 350% higher than income per person in Nottingham, the poorest part. Even at less extreme levels, the difference remains stark. Per capita income in Oxford, in the top 25% of local authority areas, is still 20% higher than that in Torbay, in the bottom 25% of areas. These gaps are reinforced by differences in income from investments. In 2019, residents of Camden received an average of £9,135 from investments, while those in Knowsley – one of the most deprived boroughs in the country – received an average of just £806. Lindsay Judge, research director at the Resolution Foundation, said: “Britain is beset by huge economic gaps between different parts of the country, and has been for many decades. While progress has been made in reducing employment gaps, this been offset by a surge in investment income among better-off families in London and the South East. “People care about these gaps and want them closed, as does the Government via its ‘levelling up’ strategy. The key to closing these gaps is to boost the productivity of our major cities outside London, which will also lead to stronger growth overall.” But closing those productivity gaps will be challenging and expensive. In another report due to be released on Thursday, the Resolution Foundation will argue that current Government policies do not go far enough. Taking Manchester as an example, where productivity is 30% lower than in London, the think tank said closing that gap would require tens of billions of pounds of investment, more graduates working in the city and an extra 300,000 workers moving to Greater Manchester. Henry Overman, Professor of economic geography at the LSE, said: “Those looking for Britain’s productivity problems can find them in our under-performing major cities. “Addressing this challenge will require Britain to completely turn around its poor record on investment, to take hard-headed decisions on where this investment should be prioritised, and for cities to embrace growth.” Subscribe or register today to discover more from DonegalLive.ie Buy the e-paper of the Donegal Democrat, Donegal People's Press, Donegal Post and Inish Times here for instant access to Donegal's premier news titles.

This year’s first direct flight from Armenia to Tunisia launched YEREVAN, JUNE 24, ARMENPRESS. This year’s first direct flight from Armenia to Tunisia is launching today. The flight is operated by Tunisian airline Novelair, which entered the Armenian market in cooperation with the Anriva Tour travel agency. This year’s first direct flight is starting with media tour within the frames of which several reporters of Armenian media outlets, including ARMENPRESS state news agency, will have an opportunity to get acquainted with tourism opportunities of Tunisia and presented it in details. Tunisia is yet an undiscovered tourism destination for Armenians. It didn’t have a demand among Armenian tourists because of the absence of direct flights and tourism offers. Tunisia also requires a visa, and in the past obtaining a visa was a difficult procedure because the citizens of Armenia were getting a Tunisian visa from the Embassy of that country in Moscow, Russia. But now, all these problems are solved if an Armenian tourist planning to visit Tunisia buys the packages offered by Anriva Tour, which are sold by all Armenian travel agencies. The visa is provided in the airport like in Hurghada’s (Egypt) case. The flight duration to Tunisia is 4 hours. The flights from Yerevan will be operated once a week. The last flight of this year is scheduled on September 30. Before the COVID-19 pandemic Tunisia was quite an active tourism destination for many countries of the world. Tunisia is hosting several million tourists every year. The country is famous for both its seaside resort, as well as cultural and historical sites. Tourists visit here to enjoy the Tunisian beaches, to get acquainted with the historical and beautiful sites, do shopping in the Eastern market and also to be in the world’s largest desert – the Sahara. In fact, for Armenians Tunisia could become an alternative tourism destination to Egypt. What to consider when traveling to Tunisia? What tourism sites to visit in Tunisia? What are the local beaches? What services do hotels offer? What can be bought in Tunisia? The answers of these and other questions will be available soon in our articles. Reporting by Anna Gziryan

A political support group for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for the 2023 elections was a blessing to the country when he was the Vice President to former President Olusegun Obasanjo between 1999 and 2007. In a statement on Sunday signed by the national publicity secretary of Atiku Support Organisation (ASO), Dr. Victor Moses, the group described Atiku as “the best vice president Nigeria has ever had since 1960 independence.” The group was reacting to a statement by former President Obasanjo, on Saturday, who said he made a mistake in the choice of his presidential running mate ahead of the 1999 presidential election. The former President, who was apparently referring to Atiku in his statement, said: “One of the mistakes I made was picking my number two when I wanted to become the President. But because it was a genuine mistake, God saved me.” But, reacting to Obasanjo’s assertion, the pro-Atiku group said,… Source: Leadership Newspaper

Kids raising money for kids: celebrating Stollery Superstars Kids raising money for kids: celebrating Stollery Superstars The seventh annual Stollery Superstars Party was held Sunday, celebrating children who raised money to help other children. The Stollery Children's Hospital is a pediatric hospital with some of the "highest inpatient volumes of any children's hospital in Canada," according to Alberta Health Services. "This is all about making kids feel special, telling them the impact they're having, making a day where we can celebrate them," said Martin Schuldhaus, the Stollery's vice president of marketing and communications. The children raise money through events like lemonade stands, making and selling jewellery and even donating Christmas and birthday presents. "As a parent, there's a lot of pride when you see your children be selfless and make that choice," said Schuldhaus. "Giving their birthday money and giving up Christmas gifts and realizing that you can have an impact on someone else that you don't even know, I think that's really powerful. "It teaches young people the power of philanthropy, it teaches them how to build their communities, teaches them really good values, and the parents tell us that all the time, that this is really special for (kids) and their siblings." So far, the program has raised over $1 million, with last year's fundraising total being $205,745. "I wanted to help those children get out of the hospital and get better," said seven-year-old Eliana Bulfon. "It's nice to help all the sick children because it's sad they have to deal with all that while we're outside having fun," added her older brother Marco Bulfon. Some of the money raised is going towards initiatives at the hospital like mental health care and renovating the Beach, a play space and area for therapeutic programs for patients and families. Around 90 Stollery Superstars were able to make it out to Sunday's event.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 27. Military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkey is developing in an ascending line, Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan, Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov said in an interview with AZERTAG, Trend reports. "First of all, it is sincere relations between the heads of the states of the two countries that give impetus to this. Our strategic alliance is based on friendship and brotherhood. The political and moral support provided by comradely Turkey to Azerbaijan during the Patriotic War is undeniable. As you know, on June 15, 2021, in Shusha, the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey signed a Declaration on strategic alliance between the two comradely countries. I would say that this Declaration has an exceptional role in the further development of bilateral relations. The activities arising from the declaration are rigorously carried out in the Azerbaijani army. Experts of the engineering and fortification units of the Turkish Armed Forces provide us with direct assistance in clearing our liberated territories of landmines and unexploded munitions. Thus, Turkish instructors, together with the personnel of engineering units, conduct special courses on mine clearance and other courses that meet international standards. By the way, I should note that the personnel of engineering units in total cleared about 21 thousand hectares of our territories from mines and unexploded munitions in our liberated territories. During the clearing of territories, 9464 unexploded munitions, 6126 anti-personnel mines, 2172 anti-tank mines, and in general about 18 thousand munitions were found and destroyed," he said.

ANTWERP, Belgium - The Canadian women’s 3x3 basketball team earned a silver medal at the FIBA World Cup 2022 on Sunday after dropping a 16-13 decision to France. Michelle Plouffe had seven points, four rebounds and five blocks for Canada. Her sister, Katherine Plouffe, had six points and seven rebounds. “The Canada team is really a great team,” said Marie-Eve Paget of France. “You’re not in the final if you’re not a great team. We played against them in a friendly game before the World Cup and we lost twice, so this is revenge.” Hortense Limouzin scored on a fadeaway jumper to give France a three-point lead with less than a minute to play but Katherine Plouffe responded to make it a two-point game. Michelle Plouffe deflected the ball out of bounds off a French player to give Canada possession with 17.2 seconds remaining. However, the Canadians were unable to score on their next possession. Paget was fouled and she sealed France’s victory at the line with 3.1 seconds left. It was the first gold medal for France at this event and the first silver for the Canadians, who beat Lithuania 16-14 in the semifinals earlier in the day. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 26, 2022.

COLORADO SPRINGS — On Sunday, the Flying W Ranch remembered the destructive Waldo Canyon Fire from 10 years ago and celebrated the resilience of the Mountain Shadows community. “This just really hits home and that’s why we’re here celebrating,” said Bill Wysong, president of the Mountain Shadows Community Association. On this day ten years ago, this neighborhood looked much different. “Ashes and embers were falling on the car,” said Dorian Lee, board member for the Mountain Shadows Community Association. “I was stuck in traffic. It took forever to get out of the neighborhood.” “I was driving into my garage getting ready to evacuate just because it didn’t look good,” Wysong said. “And then, there was no fire on the ridge. Just smoke. And within five or ten minutes it was burning a third of the way down the ridge.” Despite the loss and devastation, the day was about the community that rose from the ashes. “Within I think three or four months, the first home was being built and that couldn’t have happened without all the support — the many volunteer organizations,” Wysong said. First responders and officials from the Marshall Fire in December came out as well. “Just a sign of fellowship and support to show them that there is light at the end of the tunnel,” Lee said. Neal Shah, a member of the Superior Board of Trustees, said the Colorado Springs community emerging after the fire was encouraging for their city. “From them, I was both inspired and surprisingly hopeful about what our community could do together,” Shah said. This remembrance was about regrowth and seeing the positives. “Whenever there’s a reminder… another fire, another community burns… it’s tough. But, the positive is, we did make it through, the community didn’t burn, and we all came together,” Wysong said.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Friday he has asked judges for authorization to resume his investigation “as quickly as possible” into the so-called war on drugs in the Philippines. Judges last September authorized Prosecutor Karim Khan to investigate alleged crimes against humanity between Nov. 1, 2011 and March 16, 2019, linked to the deadly crackdown. However, the probe was suspended last November after the Philippines said in a letter to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan that it already is investigating the crimes and so the international court doesn’t have jurisdiction. “The court may only exercise jurisdiction where national legal systems fail to do so, which is certainly not the case in the Philippines,” the letter said, citing domestic investigations. However, Khan has now sought to resume his probe, saying in a statement that “I have concluded that the deferral requested by the Philippines is not warranted, and that the investigation should resume as quickly as possible.” More than 6,000 mostly poor drug suspects have been killed, according to government pronouncements, but human rights groups say the death toll is considerably higher and should include many unsolved killings by motorcycle-riding gunmen who may have been deployed by police. Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has defended the crackdown as “lawfully directed against drug lords and pushers who have for many years destroyed the present generation, especially the youth.” Duterte has denied condoning extrajudicial killings of drug suspects although he has openly threatened suspects with death and has ordered police to shoot suspects who dangerously resist arrest. The ICC is a court of last resort for cases that countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute. Under the court’s rules, a country can request deferral of an investigation if it is already investigating the crimes. MIKE CORDER, BRUSSELS , MDT/AP

Elon Musk, one of the most talked-about names in the world with regard to the age of electric cars and space, recently shared a cartoon on social media referring to the conquest of Istanbul – a caricature of a Byzantine soldier thinking “did I lock the gate?” while resting. It is possible to attribute many meanings to the cartoon in question with reference to global and regional developments. However, the messages Musk highlights in other posts he shares just a few hours after this cartoon show that the caricature of the guard has a completely different implied meaning than the current political, regional and global issues. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to combine Musk's posts that follow this cartoon where he refers to a fantasy documentary-style comedy film that satirizes today's world and then subsequently criticizes married couples from well-educated parts of the country for not having children. His following post, “Is TikTok destroying civilization? Some people think so,” is undoubtedly linked to the above. The fact that he took these messages and social media shares to the next level by saying “not only TikTok, maybe all social media platforms in general,” and in doing so included Twitter where he recently made a big investment move, are messages that should be read carefully. Musk's posts and following tweets convey three messages. The first has to do with the anxieties caused by an era leading to hyper-digitalization and a new space move. The metaphor of the Byzantine soldier thinking about the gate indicates that it is not possible to prevent the coming of a new age. Compared with the military wisdom, technological leap and logistical and tactical achievements in the conquest of Istanbul, the "open gate" reference is a very unnecessary detail indeed. Also, linking the transition to a new era that opens to hyper-digitalization and a new space move with absurd reasons by ignoring the wisdom, technology, innovation, R&D and science behind it is similarly an example of the abdication of reason. Thus, the second message in Musk's posts is that humanity must rapidly pass into the “Age of Reason” but it is being dragged into intentional idiocrasy, a global abdication of reason led and caused by the global social media platforms in an environment of mental contamination, a bombardment of disinformation. For this reason, Musk also shares his interpretation of the fictional comedy film, which refers to the anxiety he feels about the abdication of reason faced by mankind today, it's almost like a documentary “reflecting today.” Lastly, the third message is that it is pointless for human beings to try to prevent or avoid the great transformations and new eras that await civilization and waste time on superficial questions and superstitions, such as wondering whether the gate is open or not, or simplifying or explaining it with superficial approaches. Just as the success of the Ottoman conquest was a civilizational leap, hyper-digitalization and the new generation space race are precursors of a new civilizational leap. Turkey, with all its moves, will continue to be one of the important actors in this new civilizational leap.

Poway sets up ‘ALERT’ tip line to help prevent shootings POWAY, Calif. — Poway City Council unanimously decided to activate a new 24-hour tip line in an effort to prevent tragedies like the synagogue shooting and several other shootings just recently like in Uvalde and Buffalo. “In almost every case, there were behavioral warning signs ahead of time,” Poway Mayor Steve Vaus said. This citywide tip line would be available for anyone concerned that someone they know may be planning an act of violence or be a danger to themselves. Vaus said for people in many situations, calling 911 doesn’t feel right, so this new number has been created. That number is 855-56-ALERT. Callers will be able to anonymously report critical information like if they are worried about someone’s behavior or saw a social media post threatening an act of violence. “It’s a way that we can maybe get ahead of something prevent something. If we save one life, it’s well worth it,” Poway Councilmember Barry Leonard said. Lightning, thunder detected in parts of San Diego CountyThere were some concerns raised about getting the right resources to someone who is legitimately struggling with mental health, which the sheriff’s department addressed. Ultimately callers will leave a message at the alert number and it will be immediately forwarded to the Poway sheriff station and vetted from there to see what the best action would be. While it’s only for Poway, Vaus hopes other cities will consider something similar. “The cost of this six-month pilot program is $190. It costs nothing and it adds an extra layer of security. You can’t beat that,” Vaus said. The city will test out the “alert” program for six months and then come back to city council with a report and decide if it should be made permanent.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A Rhode Island police officer accused of punching a woman at an abortion protest while he was off-duty has now been charged in connection with Friday’s demonstration at the State House. In a Saturday evening news release, state police said Providence patrolman Jeann Lugo, 35, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct. Jennifer Rourke, the chair of the progressive Rhode Island Political Cooperative seeking the Democratic nomination for a state Senate seat, said she had been punched in the face at least twice by Lugo, who – at the time – was running for the GOP nomination for the same seat. Providence police said earlier Saturday that Lugo had been suspended from his job with pay pending an investigation, and Lugo subsequently ended his campaign. Friday’s protest outside the Rhode Island State House in Providence was in response to the decision released the same day by the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had provided a constitutional right to abortion. Video of the event posted online shows a physical altercation at the protest right before a woman appearing to be Rourke is seen being hit. The video does not show what happened between Lugo and Rourke beforehand. In a call with the Associated Press on Saturday, Rourke said that as she was attempting to escort a counterprotester who had agreed to leave off the premises, another physical altercation broke out during which she was punched in the face multiple times. She confirmed she pressed charges against Lugo. State police say Lugo turned himself in Saturday, was arraigned before a justice of the peace and then released. He’s due in court again on July 8. Lugo didn’t respond to requests for comment on Saturday and Sunday, but told the Boston Globe before charges were announced that he “stepped in to protect someone that a group of agitators was attacking.” Lugo had also told the Providence Journal he was “not going to deny” the punching allegation, but added that “everything happened very fast.” Rourke told the AP she had never interacted with Lugo before and did not know he would be at the protest. “I’m disappointed he chose to use violence in this way. As a police officer, he’s trained to deescalate. He did not do what he was trained to do,” she said. Rourke sought medical care and received a CT scan on Saturday afternoon. She said she was doing OK but was experiencing a lot of tenderness in her face and ringing in her ears. Two other people were also charged following the Friday event that briefly turned violent. One of the two people, Nicholas Morrell, of Warwick, said in a Sunday message that he is 30, not 31 as police said, and he had “video evidence of the entire thing (and) I was arrested for standing there.” The other person who was arrested did not respond to a social media message Sunday seeking comment.

Most women are not working full-time during most of their working lives, which holds them back from management positions and accentuates the pay gap with men, according to data released on Monday. Men on average out-earn women across all working age groups. At every age group less than 50% of women were full-time in 2021, according to the Wages and Ages: Mapping the Gender Pay Gap by Age data series. This has been issued by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, a federal government body. The data comes from private sector employers with 100 or more employees. The divergence in working patterns between men and women starts from age 35, when men are mainly working full-time and women mainly working part-time or casually. After 35 women are more than twice as likely to work part-time and casually than men. Get daily business news. The latest stories, funding information, and expert advice. Free to sign up. Men over age 55 are twice as likely to be in management as women. Of those women in management at the same age, two thirds are in lower ranks. Men also earn more than women across each generation in the workplace, according to the data. The gap is greatest at 55-64 where men out-earn women by almost one third (31.9%). This is more than $40,000 on average a year. Even those women in senior executive and CEO jobs aged 55 and above face a big pay gap — they are earning about $93,000 annually less on average than male counterparts. The agency says “that in 2021 at no age were more than 50% of women working full-time, yet higher paid management opportunities were almost exclusively reserved for full-time workers. In all age groups, more than 90% of managers were working full-time”. On average, companies with more part-time managers have more women at executive levels. WGEA director Mary Wooldridge said if the trends in the data continued, millennial women now working would earn only 70% of men’s earnings by the time they were 45. “Millennial women in the workforce 35 and under are currently reaching management at equal rates as men,” Wooldridge said. “We have a generation of Australian women who are highly educated, and over the last decade have been outnumbering men in higher education enrolments and completion. “If organisations want to unlock the potential that these women can provide after the age of 35, there needs to be a shift in workplace structures surrounding them. Creative workplaces will reap the talent rewards today and in the future.” She said: “Too many employers are missing a huge talent pool by not encouraging and enabling women to work additional hours or in the managerial ranks.” She highlighted the importance of gender-neutral parental leave. childcare subsidies and support, and flexible work policies. “Leading employers are creating or redesigning roles to support part-time management and job-sharing structures,” Wooldridge said.

MLA Carla Beck made history by becoming the first female leader of the Saskatchewan NDP on Sunday at the Delta Hotel in Regina. Beck secured 3,244 votes to Kaitlyn Harvey’s 1,492 in the leadership race, which was was prompted by incumbent leader Ryan Meili’s announcement that he would be stepping down. In June, he said that he would be leaving politics all together and is resigned his seat in Sasaktoon Meewasin on July 1. “The only way I can thank you is to win back and take back this province for the people of Saskatchewan,” Beck said in her victory speech. The NDP hasn’t always got things right, she said, but they “stand on the shoulders of giants” and owe it to the generations that come to get things done right now. “If we tell our own stories and share our vision and fight for it, then we can win, then we can deliver the positive change, the future that we all want for our province, our kids and grandkids,” she said. She received the support of six NDP caucus members and over a dozen former NDP MLAs. Beck is the member of the legislative assembly for Regina Lakeview. She defeated Kaitlyn Harvey who is a Metis lawyer in Saskatoon. In her campaign, Harvey pitched a focus on Saskatchewan’s climate change plan, an issue she said is being ignored by the provincial government and underplayed by Beck and her supporters. She also asked party members to support a petition made by the Liberal leader Jeff Walters, who has called for an enquiry into the Saskatchewan government’s handling of the pandemic. Beck says she is focused on rebuilding the party and finding “common ground” to create trust with voters. “The Premier’s unwillingness to look at some of the issues that are so plainly in front of us, you know, saying he doesn’t care about emissions, doing nothing about the mental health addiction, suicide crisis in this province, how our schools are being funded, how there are health care centres that are closed due to lack of staffing all across this province. And it’s time that we had a government that took the calls, met with people and built those solutions.” Ryan Meili said, “You might not necessarily think of social worker and politician as a natural fit but what she’s got is a real ability to do because of that background and of course, her time as an MLA and a school board trustee, is to connect with people. She really has that emotional intelligence.” When asked about the seat in Sasaktoon Meewasin Ryan said it would mean trouble if the NDP looses it. “Nothing is a given, and especially with byelections when turnout can be so small.” The byelection is expected before the end of the year.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday hailed as a martyr an Italian missionary nun slain in Haiti, where she cared for poor children. The diocese of Milan says Sister Luisa Dell’Orto, 64, was slain “during an armed aggression, probably with the aim of robbery,” in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital. The Vatican’s official media said Dell’Orto, gravely wounded, was taken to a hospital, where she died soon after. Francis in remarks to the public in St. Peter’s Square expressed his closeness to the nun’s family members and noted she had lived there for some 20 years, dedicating herself above all to helping poor children who lived on the street. “I entrust her soul to God, and I pray for the Haitian people, especially the little ones, so they can have a more serene future, without misery and without violence, ” Francis said. Dell’Orto “gave her life to others, until the point of martyrdom,” the pontiff said. The nun, who was born in Lombardy, northern Italy, had run a home for children in a very poor suburb of Port-au-Prince, the Milan diocese said. Haiti, a Caribbean country, is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.

Which laptops for Minecraft are best? Since its release in 2009 as a simple 3D building block game, Minecraft has grown substantially in popularity and complexity. It’s now available across multiple platforms, including the Xbox, Nintendo Switch and the personal computer. At its core, Minecraft as a game is not very demanding when it comes to graphics and space requirements. However, plenty of modified versions of the game exist that require a more powerful system with better graphics than before. To play the game at its best with all the possible shaders and mods, you may need a powerful machine like the ASUS 2021 Flagship TUF A15 Gaming Laptop. What to know before you buy a laptop for Minecraft Screen specs Most laptops have a screen size ranging from 14 to 17 inches. Although it’s possible to play Minecraft on nearly any size screen, the game looks its best on a Full HD (1080p) screen that’s at least 15.6 inches. Smaller screens may result in unnecessary eye strain, while lower resolution may diminish the quality of the image. That said, Minecraft is a pixelated game, so it can also be played on 720p. There isn’t a lot of noticeable difference between 1080p and 720p, but the former offers slightly smoother and clearer images than the latter. This is especially helpful for those playing with shaders or who want to see the game in greater detail. Cooling solutions Many laptops run hot when running intensive games or software. Minecraft doesn’t usually cause overheating, which makes it ideal for laptops. However, the game does use a lot of CPU and RAM. For those who have complex builds in the game or who run the game on higher settings, overheating or thermal throttling could occur. Thermal throttling is basically a safeguard built into all laptops and desktops where the system reduces its own performance to help mitigate the heat. For laptops, heating is particularly an issue given their smaller fans and their overall form factor. One way to solve this is to consider elevating the laptop or purchasing a cooling pad. Game settings and modifications Most of Minecraft’s settings are customizable, but running the game on its higher settings does draw on a lot of power from the laptop. To play Minecraft on an entry-level laptop with a weaker processor, you’ll need to decrease things like render distance, graphics VSync and Video Settings in the game itself to improve performance. But if you want to play Minecraft on its highest settings or if you enjoy playing with mods, you’ll need a more powerful laptop capable of handling it. For some people, especially those who stream Minecraft, a desktop may be a better option since even a midrange desktop should be enough to play the game. What to look for in a quality laptop for Minecraft GPU or graphics card Laptops have either an integrated graphics card or a dedicated graphics card. Integrated: These graphics cards are integrated with the same chip that has the laptop’s CPU. Integrated graphics cards usually offer less graphical output than dedicated ones. For Minecraft, unless it’s modified, an integrated graphics card should be sufficient. Dedicated: Dedicated, or discrete, graphics cards are separate from the CPU. They perform all the graphic work themselves, rather than share a space with the CPU. With a modern dedicated graphics card, a laptop can run most computer games at their maximum graphics settings with ease. Unlike an integrated graphics card, this option allows the computer to run special effects and beautiful textures, as well as render the game at greater distances. The downside is that these graphics cards usually run hotter when displaying graphics-heavy games. Consider a dedicated graphics card if you’re playing with powerful shaders or mods, since they completely overhaul the original graphics of the game. The two main companies that make graphics cards are NVIDIA and AMD. The recommended system requirements for Minecraft in its base form, without any modifications, is the NVIDIA Geforce 700 Series or AMD Radeon Rx 200 series. CPU The CPU, or central processing unit, is required to run any program on a computer. It’s what allows games like Minecraft to run at optimal levels. To play Minecraft Java Edition, the recommended minimum CPU is an Intel i5-4690 or an AMD A10-7800 APU. If you have a lot of complex builds, Redstone contraptions or mods running, you may need a better processor or one from the latest generation. RAM RAM, or random-access memory, is also an important consideration when purchasing a laptop for Minecraft or any other game. Most modern games require 8GB RAM at minimum, though many higher-end laptops now offer 16GB. For Minecraft, the recommended amount of RAM is 8GB. However, more RAM can be useful for those who stream the game or have multiple applications going at the same time while playing. Refresh rate and FPS Minecraft is a moderately fast-paced game where good reaction time is important if you want to survive. Vanilla (unmodded) Minecraft normally runs at a high FPS (frames per second), so you need a laptop that has a minimum refresh rate of 60Hz. The refresh rate is specifically tied to your screen. If the screen runs at 60Hz, that means it’s only capable of showing 60 frames per second. 60 FPS is enough for most people to play the game without any problems. However, the higher the FPS, the faster the game can run. Different laptop screens offer different refresh rates, but the standard options are 60Hz, 144Hz and 240Hz. Typically, the higher the refresh rate, the more expensive the screen. The FPS of a laptop is limited by the refresh rate. In other words, even if a game could run at a higher FPS, it won’t go higher than the refresh rate. How much you can expect to spend on a laptop for Minecraft Entry-level laptops that can run Minecraft at its minimum settings cost between $600-$800. For better graphics or some modifications or shaders, look for a midrange laptop that costs between $1,100-$1,400. Higher-end machines, such as those by MSI or Alienware, with dedicated graphics cards may cost $2,000 or more. Laptops for Minecraft FAQ How much storage space does Minecraft need on a laptop? A. Vanilla Minecraft only requires around 2GB storage space. Heavily modded Minecraft may take up around 8GB of disk space though. For faster load times, save the game to a Solid-State Drive (SSD). What else should I consider when purchasing a laptop for Minecraft? A. When playing Minecraft on a laptop, it’s advisable to have a wired mouse. The trackpad on some laptops may lag, which could ruin gameplay or cause character death. Also, consider getting an elevated cooling pad to keep your laptop from overheating. Cooling pads plug directly into a laptop and help prevent thermal throttling while playing the game. They may also provide a slight performance boost, depending on the laptop. Another optional accessory is an external hard drive, since this can help save space on the laptop itself. What’s the best laptop for Minecraft to buy?

--Ascletis presented Phase IIb clinical trial results of subcutaneous PD-L1 antibody ASC22 for functional cure of CHB at oral session of EASL ILC 2022 on June 25, 2022, Beijing Time --The Phase IIb clinical trial results further demonstrated the potential of ASC22+NAs treatment as a functional cure for CHB --On-treatment ALT flares might be used as a predictor or monitor of patients' responses to the CHB treatment HANGZHOU, China and SHAOXING, China, June 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascletis Pharma Inc. (HKEX:1672, "Ascletis") today announces the latest Phase IIb clinical trial results of subcutaneous PD-L1 antibody ASC22 (Envafolimab) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) at an oral parallel session of the International Liver Congress™ 2022 (ILC 2022) held by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). The interim report is based on a randomized, single-blind, multi-center Phase IIb clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of ASC22 in treatment of CHB patients (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04465890). In 1.0 mg/kg ASC22 cohort, 75 CHB patients were randomized to be treated with 1.0 mg/kg ASC22 (n=60) or placebo (PBO, n=15) once every 2 weeks (Q2W) plus nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) for 24-week and then followed for another 24 weeks. The following sets forth the key findings from the Phase IIb clinical study on ASC22: - 42.9% patients with baseline HBsAg ≤100 IU/mL (n=7) obtained sustained HBsAg loss. - ALT flares were observed on 21% patients in ASC22 group (n=48) while none in PBO group. - Patients with ALT flares had more HBsAg reduction. Among the three patients with sustained HBsAg loss, two experienced ALT flares. - One patient obtained sustained HBsAg loss starting at Week Four after two doses of ASC22 and experienced a transient seroconversion of anti-HBs at Week 28. This patient stopped NAs treatment three days after 24-week treatment of ASC22, and HBsAg still remained negative until end of the study. - Most adverse events (AEs) (97.5%) were Grade 1-2, and no study drug-related serious adverse event (SAE) was reported. "For the past years, Ascletis has been dedicated to developing therapy for the functional cure of CHB. ASC22 is the most advanced clinical stage immunotherapy in the world for CHB functional cure, i.e. HBsAg loss, through blocking PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. It's a great honor that our industry leading clinical trial result on immunotherapy has been recognized by the reviewers and scientific committee of EASL and accepted as oral presentation in ILC. We are very encouraged by the promising efficacy and safety profile that ASC22 has achieved as a potential functional cure for CHB. We expect to further advance the clinical studies to benefit more patients." Said Dr. Jinzi J. Wu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ascletis. CHB remains to be a significantly unmet medical need globally, with approximately 86 million people in China and 1.59 million people in the U.S. infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) [1]. NAs inhibit only reverse transcription of HBV RNA into HBV DNA and do not inhibit the transcription of HBV cccDNA into HBV RNA, thus have no inhibitory effect on HBsAg. Abstract presented at ILC 2022 is as follows: ALT flares were linked to HBsAg reduction, seroclearance and seroconversion: interim results from a phase IIb study in chronic hepatitis B patients with 24-week treatment of subcutaneous PD-L1 Ab ASC22 (Envafolimab) plus nucleos(t)ide analogs Presentation Type: Oral Presentation Session: Abstract session: Hepatitis B emerging therapies Presenter: Prof. Guiqiang Wang, Director of Infectious Diseases Department and Liver Disease Center of Peking University First Hospital Presentation time: June 25, 2022, Saturday, 15:15-15:30 (Beijing Time) [1]Lim J K, Nguyen M H, Kim W R, et al. Prevalence of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in the United States [J]. The American journal of gastroenterology 2020, 115(9): 1429-38. About EASL EASL is the world's leading medical association dedicated to liver diseases research. As the annual flagship event with over 10, 000 representatives participating every year, ILC is one of the most influential congress on hepatology research globally where the advances, best practices and latest scientific breakthroughs are shared with the global community.

LONDON (AP) — Paul McCartney’s Glastonbury Festival show was two years late. Fans thought it was worth the wait. The former Beatle pulled out all the stops — and brought on big-name rock ’n’ roll guest stars — for a 2½-hour concert at the southwest England festival on Saturday night. McCartney was due to play Glastonbury in 2020. That year’s festival and the 2021 edition were both scuttled by the coronavirus pandemic. Now, at 80, he’s the festival’s oldest-ever solo headliner. McCartney and his band treated the huge crowd to Beatles classics like “Get Back,” “Hey Jude,” “Blackbird” and “Let it Be,” along with solo hits including “Live and Let Die” and newer material. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl came on to play “Saw Her Standing There” and “Band on the Run.” Then Bruce Springsteen and McCartney — the Boss and the Beatle — dueted on Springsteen’s “Glory Days” and the early Lennon-McCartney song “I Wanna Be Your Man.” McCartney paid tribute to Beatles bandmate George Harrison, who died in 2001, by performing the Harrison-penned “Something.” Thanks to technology, he sang with footage of John Lennon, murdered in 1980, on “I’ve Got a Feeling.” “I think I’ve probably just seen one of the most legendary performances ever,” fan Jake Richardson said after the show. Actor-comedian Steve Coogan, who was also in the crowd, described the experience as “quite overwhelming.” “I don’t think there’s anyone else in the world who can just give such unadulterated joy to people,” he told the BBC. Glastonbury wraps up Sunday with a headline set by Kendrick Lamar. Some 200,000 people are attending the four-day festival at Worthy Farm in southwest England, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The 3,000 performers included Billie Eilish, Ziggy Marley, Megan Thee Stallion, Foals, Olivia Rodrigo, Diana Ross, Herbie Hancock and the Pet Shop Boys. Guests also included environmental activist Greta Thunberg, who made a passionate speech about climate change, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who addressed the festival by video on Friday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — When the Angels made a late decision Sunday to go with little-used reliever Andrew Wantz as their opener on the mound, the Mariners suspected they might be about to get payback for a fastball that got awfully close to Mike Trout’s head the previous night. The Halos insist that wasn’t their intent — and yet Wantz threw a pitch behind Julio Rodriguez’s head in the first inning and then hit Jesse Winker in the hip to start the second. A wild, angry brawl ensued, resulting in the ejections of six players and both managers. The fracas will be remembered by both teams a whole lot longer than the Angels’ 2-1 victory over Seattle. “That probably shouldn’t happen in the game, what happened out there today,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Emotions running high, but it was pretty clear what was going on. They switched, put an opener in there to throw some balls at us. Got out of hand from there, and kind of a black eye.” Both teams threw numerous punches in the melee that began when Winker charged the Angels’ emptying dugout after yelling at Angels interim manager Phil Nevin. “Look, you play eight games in a matter of a week against the same team, things like this happen,” Nevin said after LA’s eighth game in 11 days against Seattle. “The scheduling, tensions, that’s baseball sometimes, unfortunately. There’s some ugly incidents once in a while. I think that’s just what happened today.” The game was delayed about 18 minutes by the four minutes of mayhem. Along with both managers, the Angels lost Wantz, closer Raisel Iglesias and reliever Ryan Tepera, while the Mariners lost Winker, Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford — three of the first four hitters in their lineup. “My only comment is it’s classless,” Seattle starter Marco Gonzales said. “To throw at Julio, who’s a kid, over something that happened last night when we were trying to win a ballgame in the ninth inning (and not) put the tying run on base, it’s just classless to come out and change your pitcher before the game. It’s clear. The intention is clear.” Wantz’s pitch behind Rodriguez certainly appeared to be a response to Erik Swanson’s 95 mph fastball near Trout’s head in the ninth inning Saturday night, a throw that infuriated the three-time AL MVP. Wantz insisted that wasn’t the case. “I was pretty amped up for my first start, and the first one just got away from me,” Wantz said. “It was sweaty. I was sweating. First day game I’ve pitched in (in the majors), and that’s that. Second one to Winker was a cut fastball inside and (I) just yanked it. That’s all I’ve got to say.” Umpires issued warnings to both dugouts after Wantz’s pitch behind Rodriguez, but Winker and the Angels set it off an inning later, with both benches and bullpens emptying. Servais and Gonzales both felt the umpires erred by not ejecting Wantz immediately. “I’m not aware of the incident with Trout from last night,” crew chief Adrian Johnson told a pool reporter. “You’re talking about the pitch that went over his head. That was nothing for us to issue warnings today. What happened today was a guy got hit. We had warnings in.” Injured Angels star Anthony Rendon threw an open left hand to Winker’s face during the scuffle, notable because his right hand is in a cast: The Halos’ $245 million third baseman is already out for the year for the second straight season. When Winker finally left the field, he made obscene gestures with both hands at the jeering Angels fans behind Seattle’s dugout. “The only thing I’m going to apologize for is flipping the fans off,” Winker said. “That’s it. As fans, they’re spending their hard-earned money to come watch us play a game, and they didn’t deserve that, so I apologize to the fans, especially the women and children.” After the field cleared, Iglesias returned a few moments later to throw large containers of sunflower seeds and gum onto the infield while screaming at the umpires, infuriated by his ejection. The rest of the game went off without incident. Luis Rengifo homered and David MacKinnon drove in the tiebreaking run with a single in the seventh for the Angels, who avoided a series sweep with just their fourth win in their last 18 home games. Gonzales (4-8) pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning of a hard-luck loss for the left-hander and the Mariners, who finished 5-1 on an impressive road trip — although the finale was overshadowed by the fisticuffs. Seattle scored the game’s first run in the sixth on the first homer in 22 games by Abraham Toro, who replaced Crawford atop the Mariners’ lineup. Rengifo tied it in the seventh with a solo homer off Gonzales, somehow golfing a changeup well below the strike zone all the way over the fence in left-center for his third homer of the season. Monte Harrison then drew a walk and scored on a two-out single off Andrés Muñoz by MacKinnon, who has driven in a run with each of his three career hits since reaching the majors last week. SMART PLAY Harrison alertly made sure his run counted by diving headfirst into home right before the Mariners threw out Trout at third. ANGEL ARMS José Suarez (1-2) protected the Angels’ depleted bullpen when he relieved Wantz and struck out eight over six innings of five-hit ball. Oliver Ortega then got six outs for his first career save, helped greatly when Max Stassi threw out Adam Frazier trying to steal second for the second out of the ninth. TRAINER’S ROOM Angels: 2B Matt Duffy left with lower back tightness in the fourth inning. UP NEXT Mariners: George Kirby (2-2, 3.12 ERA) takes the mound in Seattle on Monday to open a series against Tyler Wells (5-4, 3.34) and the Baltimore Orioles. Angels: Noah Syndergaard (4-6, 3.86 ERA) makes his 12th start in a home series opener against Lucas Giolito (4-4, 5.40 ERA) and the Chicago White Sox. Thor has pitched 8 1/3 scoreless innings in his two career starts against the Sox. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Canterino, who has been on Double-A Wichita's 7-day injured list since June 8 with a right elbow strain, is scheduled to resume a throwing program this week at the Twins' spring training site in Fort Myers, Fla., Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports. Canterino was cleared to resume throwing after meeting with renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister a few days earlier. The right-hander was previously shut down in mid-August of last season with a strained elbow, so the Twins will more than likely have the 24-year-old build back up slowly in Florida. Canterino submitted a 1.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB across 34.1 innings for Wichita prior to landing on the shelf.

Wimbledon: Ticket queues, no rest day and a farewell for Sue Barker — everything you need to know about SW19 How do I get Wimbledon tickets? There was no public ballot this year as the majority of ticket-holders in attendance have had their seats rolled over from the cancellation of the 2020 championships. The best way of securing entry at short notice is to join the famous queue, which returns this year and will offer a limited number of show-court tickets for those camping overnight, and ground passes for everyone else. Returns will also occasionally be made available on the Wimbledon website. Is there play on middle Sunday? Yes. For the first time, Wimbledon has become a 14-day tournament after ditching the traditional rest day on middle Sunday.

Constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, Chief Mike Ozekhome, has called on the Nigeria Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers to endeavour to uphold its professional practice and weed out bad eggs within the body. Ozekhome stated this while delivering a keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 52nd annual national conference of the Nigeria Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Port Harcourt on Thursday. He said the issue of corruption was also in the institution, saying, “A client came to me and said he wanted to value his demolished property. I asked him, ‘how much?’ He said, ‘N200 million’ and I said we can go with that. “The following day, he came back and said the property was N750 million. I asked, how? You were here yesterday and said it was N200million. Now, you have come to say something different, why? “He said one of his estate valuer friends told him he could jerk up the property to any level,” he said, stressing that it was an issue of corruption which must be tackled. “The problem of corruption can be seen in your organisation like it is in any other organisation. Then, there are quacks in the system. You must check these so that your image is not dented. “When you are doing your job, you are not immune to being sued and your defense is not going to be that ‘I just valued the land’. “Planning that has been given to you to estimate without a corresponding professional advice can lead to your personal culpability, as an individual and as a company. “You can never be excluded from negligence. You will be held liable in an offence related to your profession. Even under the Advance Fee Fraud Act, the Criminal Code, there are areas where you will be held liable for malfeasance and for breach of trust. “I recommend that you work hard to champion the cause of creating awareness in your core competency areas to make your profession different from others,” he stated. He urged the body to ensure that building and managing cities in the country was put in the forefront, saying, “You must ensure that there are training and retraining of your members and people who work with you.” Continuing, he said, “Look at the ways you can make big cities, our future cities to promote urban agriculture. Over 800million people worldwide practise urban agriculture.” He said the role of the body was key, saying, “So you have gone past the stage of being hungry. You are Jack of all trades and master of all,” he stated. Declaring the conference open, former Governor of Rivers State, Sir Celestine Omehia, said holding the conference in Port Harcourt was historic. “As an annual conference, decisions are taken, many things are being ordered and organised according to the theme of the conference. “It will go down in history that decisions, plans, ideas to elevate Nigeria to a higher level to cities like New York and other cities in the world were taken in Rivers State under the able leadership of the President of NIESV, Emma Wike “We in Rivers State used to pride ourselves that outside Lagos State, Port Harcourt is the most beautiful, most developed city in Nigeria. “The Rivers State government is ready and willing to join hands with any institution and anybody in the development of Rivers State. Your role is enormous, your role is needed in the development of the state,” he added. As a body, he said, “You can go beyond the functions of individual members of the institution to correct the ills in the development of the state. “In some areas, we have floods because some people go out of their way to build on the waterways,” Omehia said.
