72 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari rescinded his government decision to suspend Nigeria’s basketball teams from all international competitions for two, factional president of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), Igoche Mark, has insisted that the struggle to liberate the game of basketball in the country continue.
He warned those spreading rumours that he has conceded his position as the duly elected NBBF President to Engr. Musa Kida to desist from making an already bad situation worse, saying his ultimate goal is to see the soul of Nigeria’s basketball rescued from shackles of doom.
Mark, though in a statement reacting to Thursday’s announcement which reversed Nigeria’s self-imposed ban from international basketball, welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to rescind his earlier directive withdrawing Nigeria from international basketball, but said he was saddened that the impasse in the NBBF stalled the participation of D’Tigress at the upcoming FIBA Women’s World Cup in Sidney, Australia; thus making the ladies the sacrificial lamb.
He insisted that the ladies should not be made to bear the brunt of the regressive infighting when those who had held the game down for years were responsible for the two years’ ban placed by the President.
“I must commend Mr. President for lifting the ban placed on basketball, indeed it is a great joy to all of us. I remain eternally grateful. However, I feel sad for our D’Tigress, because these ladies laboured and toiled to get the ticket but they have been replaced with Mali, and their efforts seem to have been wasted, while those that have held the game down are celebrating the President’s change of mind. Our ladies must not be the sacrificial lamb always.
“I am by this statement making a passionate appeal to all stakeholders of the game that in accordance with the mandate given to me by genuine stakeholders of Basketball on January 31, 2022, I remain the President of the NBBF. There was never a time that the Sports Ministry asked me to step down for anybody, besides, it is the responsibility of key basketball stakeholders to elect their NBBF President.
“The seat of the NBBF President is neither by appointment nor selection, those spreading the fake news that I have quit my mandate as NBBF President are either enemies of our beautiful game or mischief makers. This fight is not about Igoche Mark but it is for the liberation of basketball,” Mark declared. | https://leadership.ng/mark-hails-buhari-for-lifting-ban-on-basketball-insists-on-nbbf-presidency/ | 2022-06-27T13:14:41Z | https://leadership.ng/mark-hails-buhari-for-lifting-ban-on-basketball-insists-on-nbbf-presidency/ | true | 1 |
WAUCONDA, Ill. (AP) — The race to be Illinois’ next governor is also a battle among billionaires, including two whose names won’t appear on Tuesday’s primary ballot.
Republican candidates Darren Bailey, who as a state lawmaker fought pandemic measures such as mask mandates, and former prosecutor Richard Irvin, the first Black mayor of Chicago’s largest suburb, each has a benefactor who has pushed a different vision for the GOP and put their money behind it.
Billionaire businessmen Ken Griffin and Richard Uihlein — among the country’s biggest Republican donors — have combined to pour more than $60 million into the race. Griffin backs Irvin and Uihlein supports Bailey.
Billionaire Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, meanwhile, along with the Democratic Governors Association, has spent millions trying to ensure Irvin, an Army veteran and Aurora mayor, isn’t the GOP nominee.
The money has funded a monthslong barrage of ads that have attacked Irvin and propped up Bailey, the opponent Pritzker would rather face in November. The ads note Bailey’s strident far-right positions, including being “100% pro-life,” and his allegiance to former President Donald Trump — qualities that may help Bailey in a Republican primary but would be a liability for a general election in a state Trump twice lost by double digits. Trump endorsed him at a rally Saturday night in Mendon.
Although rich men in politics certainly aren’t rare, there may never have been a battle of the billions to match this one in a state election, particularly in a primary. It’s left Irvin, once considered the front-runner, scrambling to convince GOP primary voters that he’s the only one who can beat Pritzker.
“J.B. Pritzker is telling you that every time he takes out an ad. He’s telling you that ‘This is the guy I’m the most most afraid of,’” Irvin said during a stop at an Illinois manufacturing plant.
Irvin’s downfall may be a record that is considerably more moderate than that of his GOP rivals. Unlike Bailey and the four other men in the race, Irvin avoids saying if he voted for Trump or talking much about issues such as abortion, focusing instead on steps he would take to reduce crime and taxes. He has been criticized for saying “Black Lives Matter” during protests over police brutality that turned destructive in his hometown, then filming a TV ad where he said “All Lives Matter.”
Bailey has built a reputation during three years in the Legislature as an uncompromising conservative unafraid to take people on.
“People say J.B. Pritzker wants me to win this primary because he believes that I’m the easiest opponent to beat,” Bailey said during a campaign stop at a restaurant. “Well, I’ve got news for J.B. Pritzker: Be careful what you wish for because it’s coming. Friends, we’re going to win on Nov. 8.”
Bailey, a farmer from rural Xenia, jumped onto the statewide scene in summer 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he filed a lawsuit against Pritzker over a stay-at-home order the governor issued to slow transmission of the virus. Bailey was seen by supporters as a maverick when he was escorted from the floor of the Legislature for refusing to wear a mask in defiance of Democratic leaders. His backers like that he speaks often of his faith. Bailey, who speaks with a prairie twang, ends his nearly daily online video messages with prayer.
“He’s a godly man. He isn’t afraid to put his faith out there,” said supporter Ruth Bast, 63, of Springfield.
The three billionaires — Pritzker, Griffin and Uihlein — have a long history of clashing politically in Illinois and elsewhere.
Griffin, the founder and CEO of hedge fund company Citadel, has been a vocal critic of Pritzker’s administration, particularly over the issue of crime in Chicago. In addition to the $50 million he gave Irvin this cycle, he also spent millions to help get former Gov. Bruce Rauner elected in 2014 and on Rauner’s loss to Pritzker in 2018. He bankrolled a successful campaign to block Pritzker and other Democrats from changing Illinois’ tax structure to levy more on the highest earners.
In 2020, Griffin gave $37 million to the GOP’s Senate campaign arm, making him the PAC’s second-largest individual donor, according to OpenSecrets, which tracks campaign spending.
Asked at a forum last year if he would support Trump should he run for president in 2024, Griffin replied, “I think it’s time for America to move on,” adding that Trump had been “pointlessly divisive.”
In a statement to The Associated Press, Griffin criticized Pritzker for “interfering” in the GOP primary, saying “spending tens of millions of dollars in cahoots with his cronies attacking the most successful Black political leader in Illinois is despicable.” Pritzker has defended his actions, saying an ad attacking Irvin is “telling the truth.”
Uihlein, a founder of the office supply company Uline Inc., is a major Trump supporter who has a long record of donating to far-right candidates and groups. That includes PACs and people strongly opposed to abortion, and the House Freedom Fund, which backs the most conservative candidates and strongest Trump backers.
The other candidates seeking the GOP nomination are businessman Gary Rabine, venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf and attorney Max Solomon. Pritzker’s only rival in the Democratic primary is Beverly Miles.

Why organizations must move to a cloud-based infrastructure [Q&A]
The past couple of years have led to lots of new demands on IT and many businesses have turned to the cloud in order to meet them.
Whilst the initial assumption may have been that these changes would be temporary, much of the shift in working patterns looks like becoming permanent. We spoke to Alkira's CEO Amir Khan to find out more about what this means for businesses as they gear up for remote work on a long-term basis.
BN: What are the current challenges facing the cloud industry?
AK: There are a number of challenges in the cloud industry today, but the standouts are the prevalence of shadow IT, IT bloat and the inability to secure the cloud at all access points.
Shadow IT is a huge issue for organizations that have continued to support remote work, as well as organizations that span multiple locations. This has created silos, preventing teams from staying in alignment with each other.
IT bloat is especially common in enterprises that had to shift operations to a remote-first model in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Folks spun up infrastructure without much thought. Most assumed it would be temporary. Remote work is here to stay. So businesses now need to figure out the right architecture and security model for their users.
BN: How did the industry get to this point?
AK: The current challenges emerged from the influence of a variety of factors. The global pandemic prompted a rapid switch to remote-first work, which few organizations were prepared for. This resulted in quick, panicked cloud deployments to keep businesses operational, and in many cases, these stacks were not the right fit for the organization that rolled them out. Workers continue to work from home and from remote locations. And organizations realize their infrastructure isn’t working as well as intended. This means that many organizations have a bit of 'spring cleaning' to do to better optimize their infrastructure, ultimately better protecting their business and saving on overhead costs.
BN: What is so dangerous about IT bloat?
AK: Because deployments were rolled out so quickly, there are a wide range of challenges that were unintentionally created. These include duplicate IP addresses, unsanctioned internet access, unused networks and security resources, misconfigured security group settings and unaccounted for shadow IT resources. These can cause compliance violations, app reliability issues as well as compromise security and incur unnecessary overhead costs.
BN: What solutions are emerging to help combat these challenges? What can organizations do to avoid experiencing larger problems?
AK: It's critical to establish a single point of control which can help organizations modernize and unify the silos that have already been created. Additionally, finding ways to leverage, as opposed to replacing existing infrastructure can help organizations avoid creating even larger problems within the cloud deployment.
BN: How can businesses adapt to permanent remote work while still reducing IT bloat within their infrastructure?
AK: Remote work doesn't inherently create IT bloat. The bloat is created when teams must quickly deploy a new tool or instance to support a specific task and it persists when organizations lack visibility in their environments. With visibility, bloat can be eliminated. To achieve this visibility organizations need a single console to manage multi-cloud environments. This allows multiple teams to access the clouds without needing to go through different interfaces.
Additionally, enterprises can create automated templates. New resources spun up automatically have the right security and operational settings.
BN: What are the benefits of housing data storage and infrastructure in the cloud?
AK: With the right networking and security framework in place, data storage and the organization's infrastructure are much easier to access via the cloud, especially for organizations continuing to support remote workers. This also allows them to spin up additional capacity if and when it is needed.
A major benefit in the current environment is the ability to bypass the current supply chain issues that are impacting hardware-based vendors. Organizations relying on hardware are often waiting months to receive components, hampering modernization efforts and making the business less agile. Since there's no physical set up, additional deployments become easier to roll out, and can be completed in less time.
BN: Why do organizations need to prioritize a unified data storage structure?
AK: They have no choice. Customers are moving from data centers to centers of data that exist across public clouds, private clouds, in co-locations and data centers, and this data needs to be connected via a new type of network. If organizations don't make this unified infrastructure a priority, they risk falling behind and falling victim to the downsides of IT bloat.

(The Hill) — The state of Georgia is putting former President Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party to the test.
Trump-backed candidates have faced a handful of setbacks in recent primary races, but nowhere has that been as evident as Georgia. Trump’s revenge-driven push to take down Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) fell short, and his preferred congressional candidates failed to win their runoff races this week.
Overall, six of the president’s eight endorsed candidates in competitive races lost their primaries, with the two exceptions being Senate candidate Herschel Walker and Burt Jones, who is running for lieutenant governor.
Experts say Trump remains popular in the state, and his backing of Walker in particular made a difference in that race, but that his primary setbacks show the limits of his endorsement power and of his singularl focus on relitigating the 2020 election.
“The big takeaway of all of this is that we should be skeptical of any proposition that suggests an endorsement from Donald Trump is the be all end all of winning a race,” said Andrea Gillespie, an associate professor of political science at Emory University in Atlanta. “Endorsements are important, but you need more than endorsements to be able to win an election.”
Trump’s struggles in Georgia date back to the 2020 election, when he lost to Joe Biden by roughly 11,000 votes in a state that had not gone Democratic in a presidential race since 1992. Republicans then lost both Senate seats in the state’s January 2021 runoff elections after Trump used a campaign rally in the state to repeat false claims of fraud.
Georgia is also home to the two officials Trump perhaps blames most for his inability to keep the White House: Raffensperger, who resisted relentless pressure from Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 election and has since become a key GOP voice against the former president’s claims of fraud, and Kemp, who certified the state’s election results despite Trump’s efforts.
Both cruised to double-digit primary victories last month. Kemp defeated former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), whom Trump had persuaded to run, by more than 50 points. Raffensperger came out about 19 points ahead of Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.).
The former president’s bid to unseat Kemp was flawed from the start, experts said. Kemp, who won a first term in 2018 with Trump’s backing, is a popular incumbent who delivered on key conservative promises by enacting a restrictive abortion law, giving parents more control over their child’s education, raising teacher salaries and approving new voting laws.
Notably, some high-profile Republicans felt comfortable bucking Trump and throwing their support behind Kemp during the gubernatorial primary, including former Vice President Mike Pence, who is believed to be eyeing a 2024 presidential campaign of his own.
Raffensperger focused on outreach to Republicans and played a role in passing the new voting laws, which critics have said will make it harder for minorities to vote in certain areas.
As incumbents, both men also had the benefit of name recognition, campaign resources and the backing of other Republicans in the state.
“Perdue and Hice were running exclusively on the stolen election and nothing else,” said Alan Abramowitz, a political scientist at Emory University.
In two down ballot races, Trump-backed candidates also came up short in statewide primaries for insurance commissioner and attorney general. In both cases, the former president had endorsed challengers to allies of Kemp.
On Tuesday, Trump’s difficulties in Georgia continued.
Vernon Jones, a former Democrat who fully embraced Trump two years ago, lost by 20,000 votes in a runoff in the 10th Congressional District, while Jake Evans lost by nearly 14,000 votes in the 6th Congressional District.
In those cases, experts said Trump’s preferred candidates were up against better known and better funded candidates. In Jones’s case, he did not have ties to the district and was encouraged by Trump to run there instead of in the governor’s race.
Taken together, experts and strategists said the underwhelming performance of Trump’s preferred candidates in Georgia underscores the risks of his often emotional endorsements and reflects how the former president’s stamp of approval is often not enough to carry a lesser-known candidate over the finish line.
Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia, chalked it up to a combination of “bad candidates and not being willing to put money behind them.”
But Bullock and others cautioned against assuming Trump’s poor track record in Georgia meant voters in the state were ready to move on from him entirely. Bullock recounted seeing scores of Trump-Pence yard signs still visible in the northwest corner of the state, and polls have shown a significant number of Georgia Republicans still believe the 2020 election was stolen.
Seth Weathers, a Georgia Republican strategist, said he believes there is some fatigue with Trump among voters who likely didn’t support him in 2016 “but then got on board once he was in office.”
“But I think if he were to be on the ballot today in Georgia he would win by a pretty large majority,” Weathers said. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/why-trumps-preferred-candidates-keep-losing-in-georgia/ | 2022-06-27T13:19:05Z | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/why-trumps-preferred-candidates-keep-losing-in-georgia/ | true | 16 |
Just keep your returns: Stores weigh paying you not to bring back unwanted items
Published: Jun. 27, 2022 at 6:24 AM MDT|Updated: 56 minutes ago
(CNN) – The supply chain crisis has retailers considering the unthinkable: Instead of returning your unwanted items, just keep them.
Some of the biggest retail chains have reported in their latest earnings calls that they have too much inventory.
With the cost of storage rising, many stores are figuring out it’s cheaper to give customers their refunds and let them keep the merchandise.
It’s a trend that started with Amazon several years ago.
Walmart and Lowe’s refused to comment on the new return strategy, but several big box retailers are known to be practicing it.

Reproductive health providers have asked a state court in Tallahassee to block Florida’s new law limiting abortion from taking effect, arguing that the state constitution guarantees a broad right to privacy including abortion.
Planned Parenthood is among those seeking a temporary emergency injunction to stop the law approved this year by Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature and governor. A Florida synagogue also sued, saying the government intrusion violates the privacy rights and religious freedoms of Jewish women.
A judge set a hearing for 9 a.m. Monday in Tallahassee, days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion has no basis in the U.S. Constitution.
Florida currently allows abortions up to 24 weeks. The new law prohibits abortions beyond 15 weeks except to save the life or prevent physical harm to the pregnant woman, or in cases of a fatal fetal abnormality. It mirrors the Mississippi law that conservative justices used to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Violators could face up to five years in prison. Physicians or other medical professionals could lose their licenses and face administrative fines of $10,000 for each violation.
“The ban is blatantly unconstitutional under the state constitution,” the ACLU of Florida, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement.
Florida voters in 1980 amended the state constitution to guarantee a broad right of privacy, which includes the right to abortion, the abortion providers said in court papers.
In 2012, Florida voters reaffirmed the right to privacy by rejecting a ballot initiative that would have weakened its protections and would have prohibited state courts from interpreting the Florida Constitution to provide stronger protection for abortion than federal law, they said.
“Despite Florida’s history of protecting the right to abortion, the Florida legislature recently engaged in a brazen attempt to override the will of the Florida people,” the abortion providers said.
The state asked the judge to reject the request. In court papers, the state argued that abortion providers don’t have standing to make a claim of a personal right to privacy since they are acting as third parties on behalf of their patients, and failed to show they will suffer “irreparable harm” if the injunction isn’t granted.
“Doctors are not irreparably harmed simply because they cannot perform a procedure prohibited by state law,” attorneys for the state of Florida said.

The Vancouver, British Columbia-based Canadian Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd (NYSE: NYSE:MTA) announced on August 13, 2021 that its operating and financial results for three months ending June 30, 2021.
Revenue was $0.70 million in line with expectations, with gold equivalent production of 646 GEOs sold at $1,778 per ounce. Production was down 11.6% sequentially.
The company increased the number of royalties and streams held to 69 precious metal assets at the end of June 2021.
Brett Heath, President and CEO of Metalla Royalty, said in the press release:
The second quarter of 2021 represented another meaningful step in the continued growth of Metalla, with the acquisition of the 1.35% royalty on the Côté-Gosselin project, which is anticipated to become one of Canada's largest producing mines. We look forward to more accretive transactions in the second half of the year, building upon what has been one of the most active years for Metalla on the acquisition front.
Stock Performance: Metalla Royalty has dropped significantly since January.
We can compare MTA with Osisko Gold Royalties (NYSE: OR), Sandstorm Gold (NYSE: SAND), and my two long-term streamers Franco-Nevada (NYSE: FNV) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM). MTA is now down 13% on a one-year basis. The laggard in the group is still Sandstorm Gold.
The investment thesis is quite simple. The company remains at the development stage, and the risk is high. It is quite obvious when we look at the balance sheet. Invest with caution.
I recommend investing only a small cash amount in MTA as a long bet with a time horizon of about five years. I believe it is more essential to focus on trading the short-term volatility while keeping a core position. Trading about 60% of your total investment using Technical Analysis seems reasonable.
Note: The numbers are indicated in $US.
Data Source: Company release
The quarterly revenue came in at$0.70 million, with a net loss of $2.73 million. Revenue was derived mainly from NLGM, Higginsville, Wharf, COSE, and Joaquin.
Primary sources of cash flows from royalties and streams for 2021 are expected to be: Wharf, Higginsville, Joaquin, COSE, and NLGM.
The company expects 2,200 to 3,200 attributable gold equivalent ounces, in line with 2020. H1 2021 gold equivalent production will be weaker than H2 2021. MTA produced 1,377 GEOs in H1 2021.
Note: Generic free cash flow is the cash from operations minus CapEx.
The company is not generating free cash flow. As I said in my preceding article, Metalla is in the expansion phase. It is normal to experience negative free cash flow in this situation when spending cash to acquire new assets is high.
During the quarter ending June 30, 2021, free cash flow was a loss of $10.20 million.
Metalla Royalty produced 646 GEOs during 2Q21 sold at $1,778 per GEOs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, MTA generated an operating cash margin of $1,770 per attributable GEO, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, generated an operating cash margin of $1,754 per attributable GEO,
Metalla is net debt free which is an excellent financial element.
Cash on hand is $3.45 million, and long-term debt was $3.31 million at the end of June 2021.
The ATM raises the risk of dilution, and I am not particularly a fan of such financing. However, it is often the cheapest way to finance expansion.
On May 14, 2021, the company announced that it has entered into a new equity distribution agreement:
June 30, 2021, the Company distributed 515,532 common shares under the 2021 ATM Program at an average price of $10.02 per share for gross proceeds of $5.2 million. As of the date of this news release, the Company has distributed a total of 863,732 common shares under the 2021 ATM program for gross proceeds of $8.2 million;
Metalla is a newcomer in the streaming segment and already has significant growth potential with a total of 69 assets, including six new royalty and stream acquisitions in the last six months.
However, it seems that the stock has been overbought significantly and is about to retrace.
MTA forms a descending channel pattern with resistance at $7.8 and support at $6.85.
Since May-June, the stock has suffered a huge slide and has just found a new lower credible support just above $7.
The trading strategy is to take profits between $7.85 and $8.25 and wait for a retracement at or below $7 to accumulate again.
MTA will fluctuate with the gold price, most likely now. If the gold price continues to trade sideways as it did for the last weeks, I believe MTA will trade within the price channel that I have indicated above.

PM Trudeau to meet India's Modi one-on-one at G7 sidelines
PM Trudeau to meet India's Modi one-on-one at G7 sidelines
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed G7 leaders virtually at their summit in Germany as they discussed the threat to global stability posed by Russia's invasion of his country.
The leaders met in a bright and beautiful meeting room in Schloss Elmau, Germany, a veritable mountaintop castle surrounded by blooming meadows and stunning vistas.
Zelenskyy appeared on a small monitor looking down on the group, stone-faced, in front of a grey background.
The conflict has been a running theme through Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's meetings with world leaders in Schloss Elmau, Germany, as well as last week at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Rwanda.
Trudeau spoke to Zelenskyy on the first day of the G7 summit to inquire what he needs from the leaders. According to Zelenskyy's Twitter account, the two spoke about increasing defence support for the embattled country.
The heads of the world's most developed economies dedicated their first session of the day to discussing the war and listening to Zelenskyy's pleas for more aid.
Before the meeting, Trudeau and summit host Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke during a walk from the manor building, or schloss in German, down to one of the meadows, nestled between the building and the mountain view.
"We are cautious that we will help the Ukraine as much as is possible, but that we also avoid that there will be a big conflict between Russia and NATO," Scholz told the media during a photo op with Trudeau.
The night before in Ukraine's capital city Kyiv, weeks of general calm were shattered by Russian missile strikes. The missiles hit a kindergarten and a residential building, killing one man and injuring a woman and child, the city's mayor said.
While G7 leaders have been united in their condemnation of Russia, they are also expected to meet with Narendra Modi, India's Prime Minister, who has been invited to the summit but who also tightened economic and diplomatic ties with Russia in recent months.
Trudeau will meet with Modi one-on-one in a private meeting as well.
On Sunday The United Kingdom announced new sanctions against Russia which would ban the import of Russian gold, the country's biggest non-energy export.
The U.K. government says the same will apply to Canada, the United States and Japan, which, as a combined effort, would shut Russia out of formal markets. The idea is to "ratchet up pressure on Russia's war machine," squeezing the country out of funds to finance the conflict.
Russia was poised to default on its foreign debt for the first time since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution Sunday, further alienating the country from the global financial system.
Russia calls any default artificial because it has the money to pay its debts but says sanctions have frozen its foreign currency reserves held abroad.

(The Hill) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is carefully cultivating a national network of support amid speculation of a 2024 presidential bid, even as he continues to downplay any notion that he has political ambitions beyond his home state.
The rising Republican star has amassed more than $100 million for his reelection campaign, a sum more on par with that of top-tier presidential contenders than a candidate for governor. He’s met with donors in South Carolina, stumped for Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt in Nevada and attended fundraisers in several states.
But DeSantis has also been careful to avoid many of the moves typical of someone weighing a run for the White House. Unlike other prospective candidates like Nikki Haley or Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), DeSantis hasn’t yet traveled to early primary and caucus states like New Hampshire or Iowa, nor has he weighed in extensively on midterm campaigns outside of his home state.
Multiple Republican strategists and operatives described DeSantis’s strategy as both brash and calculated, noting that he appears intent on cultivating his reputation among conservatives nationally while being careful to avoid any move that could put him directly in former President Donald Trump’s crosshairs.
“It’s like everything else in Republican politics in this country. It all comes down to how you deal with Trump,” Keith Naughton, a veteran Republican strategist, said. “If he was out campaigning, then Trump has more of a license to attack him and to really knock him down directly.”
“As long as DeSantis is just running for reelection and doing this passive-aggressive 2024 campaign — because he is running — Trump has a hard time going after him.”
Despite Trump’s preeminence among Republicans — he has repeatedly claimed that he would easily beat DeSantis in a 2024 primary matchup — there are signs that DeSantis could actually challenge that status.
A University of New Hampshire Granite State Poll released this week showed him pulling ahead of Trump among likely GOP primary voters in the first-in-the-nation primary state. He also topped Trump in the Western Conservative Summit’s 2024 straw poll earlier this month, marking the second year in a row that he finished in the top spot.
Andrew Smith, the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, said that Trump’s slide in the Granite State Poll is “part of a typical pattern.” While he remains perhaps the best-known figure in the Republican Party, voters often begin to look at other potential contenders as the presidential primaries draw nearer.
With DeSantis regularly grabbing headlines, that pattern appears to be playing out in his favor.
“A party’s losing candidate in the prior election is typically the best-known person in their party,” he said. “As the primary gets closer, new candidates emerge and attract more media attention, and therefore more voter attention, than the losing candidate from the previous election.”
DeSantis has brushed off questions about his future political ambitions. In an interview on Fox News earlier this month, DeSantis said that it would be “futile” to keep asking him about a potential White House bid. Asked if he would still run for president if Trump mounts another campaign, DeSantis didn’t offer up any ground.
“Nice try,” he said.
For now, DeSantis maintains that his primary focus is winning reelection this year, though with his massive war chest and a largely positive job approval rating, he appears well on his way to a second term in the governor’s mansion. He’s booked some $2.4 million in ad reservations through November, with the first spot set to debut next month.
But for a governor seeking reelection, DeSantis’s public schedule can look unusual at times.
He’s raised money in states like Wisconsin and California, attended Nebraska’s annual “Steak Fry” – a conservative gathering hosted by Gov. Pete Ricketts – alongside other prospective presidential candidates and has spent more time attacking President Joe Biden than either of the top Democrats challenging him for the governor’s mansion this year.
Trump has reportedly griped privately about DeSantis’s growing national clout, though both he and DeSantis have denied rumors that their relationship has grown rocky.
But in one notable change from the past, Politico reported this week that the Florida governor has no plans to seek Trump’s endorsement ahead of the November election.
One Republican donor who has given to both Trump and DeSantis said that the Florida governor had built up his own brand enough to forgo a Trump endorsement, calling it a “calculated decision.”
“He’s smart enough to know that if he gets too close to him, if he asks for the endorsement, he’s going to get sucked into all of Trump’s nonsense and all the demands,” said the donor, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the matter.
A former Trump aide said that the former president would almost certainly endorse DeSantis if he sought it out, but added that “it would come with some strings attached.”
“I think he still wants to hear that DeSantis won’t run if he does,” the aide said. “I don’t know if that’s part of it, but I think DeSantis has the right idea. He’s got enough of a reputation now to where the endorsement just doesn’t matter as much.”
In 2018, when DeSantis first sought the governor’s mansion, Trump’s endorsement helped him overcome what once appeared to be a longshot primary campaign against former state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
Since then, however, DeSantis has transformed himself into a political heavyweight in his own right.
He earned praise from conservatives for his laissez-faire approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as for his efforts to crack down on alleged censorship by social media companies. He has also emerged as a leading Republican voice against the teaching of so-called critical race theory in schools and has built a reputation as an opponent of what conservatives dub “woke” culture.
Naughton said that DeSantis’s focus on his work as governor has already given him a leg up over most of his potential competitors in a 2024 presidential matchup.
Other would-be candidates – former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or Haley, among others – are either not currently serving in public office or relegated to the minority in the Senate, Naughton said. DeSantis, by contrast, has a built-in megaphone in the governorship.
“Where DeSantis is — he’s got this great voter base in Florida,” Naughton said. “He’s an elected official, he’s an executive, he’s actually doing things and he’s kind of captured Republican imagination.” | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/desantis-builds-national-profile-out-of-trumps-view/ | 2022-06-27T13:30:45Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/desantis-builds-national-profile-out-of-trumps-view/ | false | 17 |
Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna insists the door remains open for the possible signing of Bristol City midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson, despite Nigel Pearson’s claims to the contrary last week.
Bakinson has not joined the City squad on their pre-season tour to the Alps and has been exiled to train with the Under-23s as he’s not part of Pearson’s plans moving forward following an acrimonious split at the start of the year when he decided to join Ipswich on loan.
Speaking on Friday, Pearson said that Ipswich had declined to take up their option to make the 23-year-old’s loan move into a permanent and City were now searching for “solutions” as to how to move Bakinson on before the end of the window.
McKenna, though, insists Bakinson remains a transfer possibility for the Tractor Boys despite having added defensive midfielder Dom Ball from QPR so far this summer.
“I think there’s still time on that option that we have, so we’ve not had discussions yet with Tyreeq or with Bristol City as I’m aware of,” McKenna told the East Anglian Daily Times. “That’s a position between ourselves and Tyreeq and his representatives.
“That’s, as far as I know, not a formal position from our club yet. We’ll have those discussions up until the deadline that I believe is in place.”
City will be requiring a fee for Bakinson having activated the option in his contract last November which keeps him under agreement at Ashton Gate until 2023.
Reading between the lines of Pearson’s words and McKenna’s position, it would seem that the original clause that allowed Ipswich first refusal on Bakinson was set too high and the Tractor Boys will only pay a more realistic figure for him.
Given Bakinson is persona non grata to his manager, and with little place in the squad or team, City could well be in a position where they have to take what they can get for the midfielder with clubs knowing the Robins are in a position where they have to sell.

With the end of June comes tennis season, and across the globe there's one particular tennis event that stands out above all. That, of course, is The Championships, Wimbledon.
The tennis tournament is the oldest in the world and is widely considered to be the most prestigious. Whether you're a tennis aficionado or a curious beginner, you've likely heard of The Championships.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of the equipment and it's really got me into the spirit of things, even if I'm no Ashleigh Barty.
I headed out to my nearest park decked out in Wimbledon attire and this is what I thought.
The most iconic item you can get from Wimbledon has to be the tennis skirt, it's a really soft material and I found it to be really comfortable. As you'd imagine it's easy to move in but it also feels chic and stylish.
I can see myself wearing this all summer long, even when I'm not on the court. I paired it with a long sleeved shirt by Wimbledon's own collection and it was perfect for an afternoon on the tennis courts.
Paired with the official Wimbledon visor and Ralph Lauren wristbands, I felt like I could handle anything.
I opted for my trusted ISAWITFIRST trainers to complete the look, but Nike and Adidas both have a dedicated range of shoes made specifically for tennis.
For those with a real love of the sport, you can feel just like your tennis favourites by investing in your very own Wimbledon racket and balls.
I tried out the Babolat Wimbledon Evoke Racket in a size G1 and the quality is immediately clear, it put every other racket I've ever used to shame. Paired with the 2022 Championship balls, in collaboration with Slazenger, I felt just like a tennis hero.
With the amount of equipment you need to play a tennis match, it goes without saying that you'll need a bag to shuffle your stuff to and from the courts. I opted for the Polo Ralph Lauren Canvas Duffle in white, it's perfect for transporting all of your tennis gear, and is fashionable enough to use year round.
With the Wimbledon detailing on one side you can show off your interests, but it's spacious enough to be a great carry-on or weekend bag for your next getaway.
After finishing up on the court, or watching courtside, it's best to wrap up a little. I opted for the beautiful Polo Ralph Lauren Cricket Sweater, which I instantly fell for.
It's so comfortable, with a heavy knit that will keep you toasty warm without sweating through. It's perfect for watching courtside or heading down to watch cricket too. I will be grabbing it for any marina side holidays I have coming up as it's without a doubt my favourite sweater.
You can watch The Championships, Wimbledon live here and fans of Tennis can tune in to Amazon Prime Video to watch all the latest global tennis matches. | https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/reviews/tried-playing-tennis-wimbledons-collection-24330113 | 2022-06-27T13:40:10Z | https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/reviews/tried-playing-tennis-wimbledons-collection-24330113 | true | 1 |
A Hollywood one-hit wonder has been sentenced to prison for breaking into a film while drunk after he missed the last bus home.
Jason Hoganson, who starred in 1988 film Empire State, spiralled out of control as he struggled to deal with his fame and traumatic childhood.
The 51-year-old has racked up more than 100 convictions for drink and drug abuses over the years, with his latest offence carried out on April 19 this year.
Just after midnight, he entered a property on Groat Market, in Newcastle where a resident became aware of him in his bedroom.
Hoganson then asked for a cigarette before leaving, according to the Mirror.
Newcastle Crown Court heard a doorman at neighbouring bar, Cosy Joes, approached the victim and said he thought a homeless man had kicked his way in through a communal entrance. When Hoganson left a few minutes later, one of the residents followed him while giving a description to police on the phone.
Police caught up with him in an alleyway and he was arrested and found to be in possession of a cap and jacket belonging to another resident. CCTV showed him entering the residence and leaving 20 minutes later with the clothing.
Hoganson, 51, of Wallsend, pleaded guilty to burglary and was jailed for eight months by Judge Sarah Mallett.
Nick Lane, defending, said despite Hoganson's previous record of 103 convictions, he is not a habitual burglar. He added: "He had consumed alcohol and had missed the last bus home. In his inebriated state he behaved in the way your honour has heard and very much regrets his actions.
"Through me, he would wish to apologise to the occupants in the address because he understands they would have been caused alarm by his actions."
Mr Lane said Hoganson's was a "sad case" as he had a traumatic childhood, having been taking into care at 13 and he has dealt with his issues by abusing drink and drugs. He added: "His life could have been very different.
"In 1988 he had a significant role in a Hollywood film, Empire State but he was unable to deal with his success in the role and (his traumatic childhood).
"In his own words he talks about tumbling down hills and getting his life stable again then a setback leading him into further use of illicit substances and a spiralling mental health crisis.
"He says he knows he should be dead by now given the abuse he had put his body through. He has self-harmed and has significant scarring to his face and other parts of the body.
"He now has a relationship with a lady and he wants to stop taking drugs and focus on her. Because of sentences and offending he has seen his mother only two times in the last six years."

In the final days of the legislative session, tenant advocates crowded outside the offices of state Senate and Assembly leaders, calling on the lawmakers to pass statewide good cause eviction.
But the measure failed to move forward — another reminder that for real estate, elections matter.
Tenant and environmental groups blamed the Assembly in particular for standing in the way of their legislative priorities, including good cause, the electrification of all new buildings in the state and allowing the state power authority to build, own and operate renewable energy projects.
In Tuesday’s primary election, the Working Families Party has backed a slate of Assembly Democrats focused on climate change measures, according to City and State, and many of the candidates also list good cause eviction as a priority. Several endorsements by the Democratic Socialists of America overlap with those of WFP, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has thrown her weight behind many of these candidates as well.
Blocking good cause and reviving a 421a-style property tax break are two priorities for the real estate industry next session, and electing moderates is key to making them happen. It’s not so much that eight or 10 lawmakers will swing votes in the 213-seat legislature, but that members of the Assembly and Senate are influenced by the results of competitive races and govern with the goal of avoiding a future primary challenge.
With that in mind, here are the NYC primary races industry professionals should watch Tuesday:
Governor
Hochul failed to get enough support for 485w, her proposed replacement to 421a, during the legislative session. But last week, while speaking at an event held by the Real Estate Board of New York, she pledged to push for “changes to support the industry,” next session.
Challenger Jumaane Williams, who has the backing of the WFP, criticized the comments on Twitter, adding that the governor was “promising [a] donor industry that after the election she’ll make the state more real-estate friendly.” Williams supported the repeal of 421a and the passage of good cause.
Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Suozzi is competing with Hochul for the moderate vote. He has criticized the governor’s approach to crime, and during a recent debate, accused Hochul of “irresponsibly” spending federal Covid relief funds, according to the New York Times.
Following the arrest of Lieutenant Gov. Brian Benjamin on bribery charges, Hochul named Rep. Antonio Delgado to serve out the remainder of Benjamin’s term and to be her new running mate. Williams is running with Ana Maria Archila, who is backed by Ocasio-Cortez, and Suozzi has tapped former Council member Diana Reyna.
A commanding victory for Hochul and Delgado would make it easier for them to deliver on the real estate priorities ignored by the legislature this year. Any other result would make it harder.
Contenders for the Republican nomination include former Westchester County executive Rob Astorino, Rep. Lee Zeldin, Andrew Giuliani and Harry Wilson. Polls show Hochul and Zeldin as the favorites.
Assembly District 82, Bronx
During the legislative session, tenant advocates targeted Assembly member Michael Benedetto for failing to support good cause eviction. Benedetto alleged that Housing Justice for All and others were trying to “bully” him into supporting it. Jonathan Soto, who previously worked for Ocasio-Cortez and has the endorsement of the Working Families Party, is challenging the incumbent and supports good cause as well as the demise of 421a. Algernon Quattlebaum, a chef and minister, is also vying for the seat.
Assembly District 32, Queens
The WFP has also thrown its support behind Anthony Andrews Jr over Assembly member Vivian Cook. The incumbent, who has served in the chamber since 1991, has the backing of party leaders including Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Rep. Gregory Meeks, Attorney General Letitia James and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Andrews, a former Democratic district leader in Southeast Queens, told the Queens Chronicle that he supports good cause.
“I want to expand protections for tenants; I am a tenant myself in a rent-stabilized building and I know how much power a landlord has over your housing security,” he told the newspaper. Cook is a co-sponsor of the good cause eviction bill.
Assembly District 70, Manhattan
Mayor Eric Adams threw his support behind incumbent Inez Dickens, who is facing a challenge from tenant advocate Delsenia Glover and Shawanna Vaughn, head of a nonprofit that works with families and children affected by gun violence and incarceration. Cortez and the WFP have endorsed Glover.
Adams has waded into other races to endorse incumbents, including Benedetto, who are being challenged by candidates backed by Ocasio-Cortez.
“Mayor Adams said from the very beginning that he’s not a socialist. He’s a Democrat,” Dickens told the New York Post. “We are Democrats! We are not socialists!…AOC and the socialists are trying to take over New York.”
Assembly District 54, Brooklyn
Activist Samy Nemir Olivares, who was endorsed by both the DSA and WFP, is challenging incumbent Erik Dilan. Dilan told City Limits that he supported the 2019 rent law and the eviction moratorium, though he is not listed as a sponsor of the good cause eviction bill. DSA-backed Sen. Julia Salazar unseated Dilan’s father, Martin Dilan in 2018.
Assembly District 81, Bronx
The WFP is supporting Jessica Altagracia Woolford, who previously worked for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, in her bid for Jeffrey Dinowitz’s seat.
“It doesn’t matter if we have Democrats in charge if they’re not the kind of Democrats who are really going to fight for good cause eviction,” Woolford told City and State.
Assembly District 65, Manhattan
Illapa Sairitupac, Denny Salas, Grace Lee and Alana Sivin are all vying for the seat to be vacated by Assembly member Yuh-Line Niou, who is running for Congress. The DSA and WFP endorsed Sairitupac. Salas told the Village Sun that he is a YIMBY “in a sense that I believe we need to build more housing.”
Assembly District 66, Manhattan
The WFP and YIMBY group Open New York have endorsed Ryder Kessler’s bid to unseat Deborah Glick. The incumbent has been an outspoken opponent of development in her district, most recently by fighting the rezoning of Soho and Noho.
Assembly District 60, Brooklyn
Adams is supporting incumbent Nikki Lucas, who also has the backing of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. The DSA, WFP and Ocasio-Cortez have endorsed challenger Keron Alleyne. | https://therealdeal.com/2022/06/27/here-are-the-elections-for-real-estate-to-watch/ | 2022-06-27T13:40:35Z | https://therealdeal.com/2022/06/27/here-are-the-elections-for-real-estate-to-watch/ | false | 1 |

“Elsewhere” by Alexis Schaitkin (Celadon Books)
Sometimes it’s fun to read something that doesn’t fit in any particular category. “Elsewhere,” the new novel from Alexis Schaitkin (“Saint X,” 2020), is best described as a dark fairy tale, with elements of the supernatural, but with something very real to say about a topic all readers can relate to in one way or another — motherhood.
Mothers who read it will probably nod their heads the most. Schaitkin writes trenchantly about what it means to mother, the hardships and self-doubt balanced with the beauty and love. “A mother was a chance to hate someone as much as you loved them, caring and wounding, a push and pull that only tightened the knot that bound you,” writes Schaitkin from the perspective of her first-person narrator, Vera, a young woman growing up in a nameless, secluded mountain town, where mothers mysteriously vanish from time to time, a fact of life that everyone calls an “affliction.”
Vera’s mother disappeared when she was young and as the story progresses and Vera herself gives birth, the novel takes on an eerie quality, as she wonders if she’ll be next. Here she is nursing her child, Iris: “How could it be that she carried the potential to make me go, or to go herself one day? For the first time, I felt the full weight of our affliction: the peril of immense loss and the power of immense love, the two forces impossible to disentangle, for they were one and the same.”
The book’s other major theme is in the title. Residents of Vera’s hometown never leave except for the moms who vanish. They rely on a man named Mr. Phillips to arrive by train four times a year and bring them anything they can’t make or grow on their own. There’s a sense of comfort and peace in their town that trumps any curiosity they may have about what lies over the mountains. So when a stranger shows up one day, the townspeople fall all over themselves to ingratiate themselves to her. “We wanted her to have beautiful things. It pleased us to watch her see, taste, touch all we had to offer,” writes Schaitkin. Those good vibes don’t last when the stranger forms close ties to one of the town’s residents, setting in motion the rest of the novel.
Summarizing the subsequent plot points simply doesn’t do “Elsewhere” justice. This is a book best savored. It’s brief, just 223 pages, but filled with memorable lines like this that can be appreciated by mothers, fathers or anyone who has ever loved: “You do not get to keep what is sweetest to you; you only get to remember it from the vantage point of having lost it.” | https://www.sheltonherald.com/entertainment/article/Review-Elsewhere-ponders-the-meaning-of-17267890.php | 2022-06-27T13:44:39Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/entertainment/article/Review-Elsewhere-ponders-the-meaning-of-17267890.php | true | 15 |
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar tests positive for Covid-19
On June 22, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari said they were infected with the virus.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday said he tested positive for the coronavirus disease a day ago.
In a tweet, Pawar said he was doing well and the doctors have been advising him about his health.
“By your blessings I will soon defeat the virus and start working for you again,” he added. “Those who have come in touch with me should take care and if you observe any symptoms, please get tested immediately.”
Besides Pawar, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari tested positive for the infection on June 22.
Koshiyari said that he has mild symptoms of Covid-19 but that he has been admitted to a hospital as a precautionary measure.
Congress leader Kamal Nath had to cancel his meeting with Thackeray to discuss the Maharashtra political crisis. Nath had been appointed as an observer for Maharashtra after state minister Eknath Shinde went to Surat on June 21 along with several Shiv Sena leaders and Independents, putting the future of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in doubt.
Shinde is currently camping in Guwahati. | https://scroll.in/latest/1027054/maharashtra-deputy-chief-minister-ajit-pawar-tests-positive-for-covid-19 | 2022-06-27T13:45:51Z | https://scroll.in/latest/1027054/maharashtra-deputy-chief-minister-ajit-pawar-tests-positive-for-covid-19 | false | 2 |

WATERLOO — There is a basement shop on Waterloo Street that is straight out of Hogsmeade — the wizarding village near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The owner was known as Twilight Rabbit online, but uses her real name, Jessie Clayman at the brick-and-mortar shop called Dubleve Wands in the basement of 142 Waterloo St.
“Platform 9 3/4” says the train station sign on the wall — the magic spot on the platform for the Hogwarts Express train in the Harry Potter stories.
These books and movies have millions of devoted fans, with an estimated 500 million books sold worldwide. But even then, Clayman stands out as one of the most dedicated.
After she started making wands in 2010, Clayman used the name Twilight Rabbit to sell them on Etsy, an online marketplace for crafters.
She also sold wands at fairs, festivals and conventions. In October 2019, she opened her shop.
“I figured it was sustainable between festivals and what I would make at the shop,” said Clayman. “And then yeah, COVID.”
Wearing a witch’s hat and an N95 mask, Clayman sits behind a desk in the shop and talks about the importance of the Harry Potter books to her family.
“My mother really wanted us to read them as a family. She had started reading them to my baby brother. There is a nine-year difference in age,” said Clayman.
When she hesitated, Clayman’s mother urged her to try the first chapter on her own.
“I was hooked,” said Clayman.
So Clayman started reading the books to her younger brother. The books and stories weaved their way into the fabric of the family.
She was cat-sitting in Oakville for some relatives when the third book was expected, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” She walked for five hours through the suburbs to a bookstore on Lake Ontario only to be told it was not out yet.
In high school, Clayman was intrigued by tarot cards and eventually illustrated two decks of her own. She’s currently writing a companion book for them. Her cards are displayed in the shop too, near the wands.
She started making wands in 2010 while working for a costume business. When some new product arrived, Clayman and her manager were excited to open it. The box said “Harry Potter Wands.”
“The wands are an integral part to the Harry Potter story and plot,” said Clayman.
After opening the box, she stared at the brown, moulded plastic wands that looked like “fake poop.”
“I said: ‘I can do better.’ My boss said: ‘Prove it,’” said Clayman.
So she started making wands, and in 2016 struck out on her own selling them, at medieval fairs, Harry Potter festivals and the like.
She started with a dowel, stained it to make it look nice, wrapped fabric around one end for a handle and decorated it. A charm hangs off the end of the handle.
“The problem is, charms that are moulded to the wand means you can’t customize the wand,” said Clayman. “So it evolved, I add a link to my wand handles now.”
Fans can hang their own charms and decorate it toward “potions” or “quidditch,” said Clayman.
“They have really evolved. I am decorating them with Swarovski or Preciosa crystals because as a kid I was very sad when there was a plastic crystal in something, it didn’t shine,” said Clayman. “These shine.”
The wooden dowels are shaped by hand. She paints them with an air-drying polymer, and wraps the handle with fabric using hot glue. Some have what looks like a stone at the end of the handle.
“This is my latest iteration, where I have added on a polymer-clay pommel, a lot of them look like stone and a lot of time I try to make it look like painted-and-fired clay.”
Clayman’s wands and tarot cards take up a small amount of space in the shop. She displays the work of several other local artists, some of whom she met while renting space upstairs at the K-W Artists Coop.
When this space became available, she snapped it up. She sold hats and wands online during the worst of the pandemic, and since reopening the magic of word-of-mouth advertising helped the business grow.
Like the literary hero who inspired her, Clayman is generous with her friends.
“I wanted to keep the connections I have with local artists alive,” said Clayman. “It’s been hard on them. We didn’t have festivals to go to, we didn’t have conventions and so I offer my space to local artists for free.” | https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/2022/06/27/waterloo-wand-shop-was-inspired-by-harry-potter.html | 2022-06-27T13:49:30Z | https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/2022/06/27/waterloo-wand-shop-was-inspired-by-harry-potter.html | false | 1 |
Doctors have suffered a real-terms pay cut of 30% since 2008, medics have said, as they vowed to work to achieve pay restoration.
One medic warned that “it’s likely that industrial action will be required to move governments on this issue”.
Members at the British Medical Association’s (BMA) annual meeting in Brighton said that doctors’ pay has fallen against RPI since 2008 to the tune of up to 30%, which represents “career earnings loss amounting to millions of pounds” to each doctor.
One consultant described how she is “struggling to survive” as a single parent.
Delegates at the conference mandated the BMA to “achieve pay restoration to 2008 value for its members within the next five years”.
“Pay restoration is the right, just and moral thing to do, but it is a significant demand and it won’t be easy to win,” said Dr Emma Runswick, presenting the motion to the conference.
“Every part of the BMA needs to plan for how to achieve this.
“But I’m not foolish, I know that it’s likely that industrial action will be required to move the governments on this issue.”
She added: “It is outrageous that our pay has been cut by 30%.
“It is outrageous that doctors today are unable to afford mortgages and are delaying starting families due to falling pay.
“It is outrageous that our pay has been cut and it is sensible that we demand it back.”
Dr Runswick continued: “All around us workers are coming together in trade unions and winning big – last month bin men in Manchester 22%; Gatwick airport workers won a 21% pay increase two weeks ago; and in March cleaners and porters at Croydon hospital won a 24% pay rise.
“Those workers got together and used a key tool that trade unions have – the ability to collectively organise, collectively negotiate and collectively withdraw our labour… vote for this motion and I’ll see you on the picket lines.”
One doctor told the conference: “I am single parent who is struggling to survive on my consultant salary.”
Meanwhile delegates also called on ministers to urgently address NHS workforce shortages to help the health service deal with the record waiting list of patients.
A motion passed at the BMA’s annual meeting in Brighton called on governments to put in place a workforce plan and “take the money that is destined to pay the private sector to do NHS work and invests it in expanding the capacity of the NHS”.
Presenting the motion, Dr Jacqueline Davis told the conference: “There is an answer to the backlog and the unmanageable workloads facing exhausted NHS staff.
“The NHS is facing record demand with no additional capacity.
“Staff are leaving in droves and there’s no rescue plan beyond ‘work harder’.
“We know that staff shortages lead to critical incidents and who gets the blame? We do, the burden falls on us.
“It is a scandal and the victims are NHS staff and our patients waiting in pain and distress to be seen.”
Commenting on the workforce motion, Dr David Wrigley, deputy chair of the BMA council, said: “Even before the pandemic the length of time people were waiting for the care they needed was too high. But following the huge disruption and added pressure Covid-19 placed on the UK’s health services, waiting lists have now gone up to a perilous level.
“We have a record 6.5 million people waiting for treatment in England, as well as the significant ‘hidden backlog’ of people who have still to come forward for care after the worst of the pandemic, or whose referrals were cancelled.
“For both patients and doctors, these figures are deeply concerning.
“What is most unnerving for doctors – who have spent the last two years working at a pace and under a level of pressure they’ve never experienced before – is that plans to tackle this backlog in care lack any meaningful strategy to boost and support the workforce who will be responsible for it.
“Targets to reduce waits and delays are all well and good, but they are completely futile if there is no plan for more staff and proper resourcing.”
“And we cannot continue pouring money into expensive contracts with the private sector – dealing with its own Covid-related backlog – to do NHS work, when this would be better spent boosting capacity in the health service itself, something the Health Secretary seems to be ruling out.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/27/medics-in-pay-restoration-vow-after-30-real-terms-pay-cut-since-2008/ | 2022-06-27T13:49:35Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/27/medics-in-pay-restoration-vow-after-30-real-terms-pay-cut-since-2008/ | false | 11 |
Spirit Airlines Agrees To Frontier's Revised Offer, Says JetBlue Offer Not Superior
(RTTNews) - Spirit Airlines, Inc. (SAVE) on Monday received an open letter from Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (ULCC), parent company of Frontier Airlines, Inc., noting that its latest takeover offer gives Spirit stockholders the opportunity to realize significant upside in excess of $50 per share, delivering superior value compared to JetBlue's proposal.
The airline last Friday agreed to a sweetened offer by Frontier that includes more cash and increased reverse termination fee, after determining that JetBlue's revised offer is not a superior proposal.
Shares of Spirit Airlines were losing around 8 percent in Monday's pre-markect trading on the NYSE.
In its letter, Frontier said the agreed combination's value is well in excess of JetBlue's illusory proposal, which lacks any realistic likelihood of obtaining regulatory approval.
The company also noted that proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis support Frontier and Spirit transaction and have recommended that Spirit stockholders vote to approve the transaction at the upcoming Spirit Special Meeting of Stockholders on June 30.
Based on the improved terms offered by Frontier, the Spirit Airlines Board reiterated its recommendation that Spirit stockholders vote FOR the merger agreement with Frontier.
Under the revised terms, Frontier will increase the per-share cash consideration payable to Spirit stockholders to $4.13 in cash. This is in addition to the per-share stock consideration of 1.9126 shares of Frontier that Frontier previously agreed to pay Spirit stockholders.
Frontier has also agreed that $2.22 per share will be prepaid to Spirit stockholders on a record date to be determined as a cash dividend. The $2.22 per share dividend will be funded by Frontier.
Frontier will increase its reverse termination fee to $350 million to Spirit in the unlikely event the combination is not consummated for antitrust reasons.
The company further noted that the decision on JetBlue's offer was taken after extensive discussions with the airline, including negotiating further the terms of JetBlue's draft merger agreement and providing extensive additional due diligence to JetBlue and its advisors
The company urged stockholders to vote FOR the merger agreement with Frontier on the WHITE proxy card prior to the June 30 Special Meeting.
In pre-market activity on the NYSE, Spirit Airlines shares were trading at $22.65, down 7.63 percent.

John Cena is a 16-time world champion in WWE. In a career spanning nearly two decades, Cena has competed against numerous superstars.
He has picked up countless victories and battled many rivalries. Often, he has ended matches in the blink of an eye. However, there have been times when he has taken losses to new and upcoming superstars. John Cena has never shied away from giving the right superstars a push, and he has put himself down to get them over.
However, there are a few superstars who have surprisingly picked up a win over Big Match John. While Cena has competed at the top of the company for most of his career, a few enhancement talents and lower-card superstars have defeated him in singles competition.
One of Cena’s most surprising losses came against Kevin Federline (K-Fed) in 2007. The rapper pinned The Doctor of Thugonomics after he was attacked by Umaga. He is one of the few men in history to have gotten the better of Cena inside the squared circle.
In this article, we look at the five superstars who have surprisingly scored a victory over John Cena in WWE.
#5 R-Truth defeated his idol John Cena more than once
It is no secret that R-Truth is heavily influenced by John Cena. He claims that he used to watch all of Cena’s matches while growing up. The two men have had a couple of interesting rivalries during their careers.
In 2011, the two men got into an extended rivalry. In May that year, they collided in a match on RAW. Truth was playing a heel and outsmarted Cena in the match to make him leave the ring. He then attacked The Doctor of Thuganomics outside the ring and laid him out to beat the 10-count himself.
In June 2011, the two men collided in a tables match on RAW. John Cena lifted R-Truth to perform the Attitude Adjustment through a table, but CM Punk interfered to prevent it. Big Match John and Punk had an argument and Truth used the distraction to Spear Cena through a table to win the match.
R-Truth was unable to pin John Cena in either of his victories. However, he still defeated the 16-time world champion twice to write his name in the history books.
#4 Rhyno took down the WWE legend
Rhyno saw many ups and downs during his WWE career. The big man won the WWE Hardcore Championship thrice in his career and the United States Championship once. He was also the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champion along with Heath Slater.
Unfortunately, Rhyno never won a world championship in the company. However, he did defeat the man who has won the most number of world titles in WWE. Cena and Rhyno faced each other on five separate occasions.
In one of their matches on SmackDown in May 2003, Cena rapped his way into the ring looking extremely confident. Rhyno wasn’t ready to play around and pounced on him as soon as the match got underway.
John Cena recovered, but a distraction from Spanky proved to be too much for the 16-time world champion. The former Hardcore Champion took advantage and rolled him up for the three-count.
It was the only time Rhyno defeated Cena in a match. It was one of the earliest matches in which Big Match John competed. He worked hard to become one of the biggest superstars the company has ever produced. Meanwhile, Rhyno did not get the same treatment from the creative team.
#3 Curtis Axel defeated The Leader of the Cenation twice
In mid-2013, John Cena was involved in a rivalry with Curtis Axel and a few other superstars. Axel was being pushed heavily at the time and had Paul Heyman's backing.
The opportunity to work with a star like Cena helped him get more spotlight on his character. The then-WWE Champion took on Axel in a match on RAW in May 2013. The match went on with Cena retaining the upper hand for most of the contest.
An ambulance entered the arena, and Cena went to check on it. A superstar emerged from it and attacked the WWE Champion, causing him to get counted out.
A week later, the two men again faced off in a No-Disqualification match. Once again, A superstar came out to beat down Cena and put him through a table. Big Match John couldn’t make it back to the ring after the assault and was counted out by the referee.
The two wins were arguably the biggest of Curtis Axel’s career. He never became a main event-level talent and was released from the company during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
#2 Lord Tensai has picked up a win over John Cena
Lord Tensai competed under a few different names and gimmicks in WWE. He was booked as an unstoppable force in the company but did not have much success when it came to championships. During his career, Tensai won the Intercontinental Championship once.
One of the biggest accomplishments of his career came in April 2012. On an episode of Monday Night RAW, Tensai faced John Cena in an Extreme Rules match. The match was a hit as both men gave their best in the ring.
Big Match John came close to bagging another victory before David Otunga interfered in the match. Cena hit him with the Attitude Adjustment, and Tensai took advantage of the situation. He sprayed John Cena with his signature green mist before hitting a Sitout Chokebomb to pick up a clean victory over the multi-time champion.
It was a surprising win for the superstar, who remained on the mid-card for most of his career. Tensai also scored the biggest victory in the character he was playing and his first against Big Match John.
#1 John Laurinaitis pinned the 16-time world champion
John Laurinaitis competed in several matches during his time in WWE. He had an extended rivalry with John Cena that saw them compete in several singles and tag team matches on and off the screen.
At the Over The Limit 2012 Premium Live Event, the two men faced off in a No Disqualification match. Their contest was the main event of the show.
It turned out to be one of the most disappointing matches of Big Match John’s career. Had Cena won, Laurinaitis would have been fired, and anyone who interfered would have been fired.
John Cena pushed around Laurinaitis for more than 15 minutes and kept control of the match. There were many comedy spots in the contest and the creative team decided to stretch the main event of the night.
In the end, Big Show showed up to knock Cena out with a WMB, which allowed Laurinaitis to win the match. It was arguably one of the worst endings to a Premium Live Event.
Show had already been fired before the match and had nothing to lose in the finish. The result allowed Laurinaitis to retain his job and hand The Leader of the Cenation arguably the most embarrassing loss of his career.

A display of damaged Russian weapons in central Warsaw serves as a reminder of the horrors of the war in Ukraine but also shows that Russia’s aggression can be defeated, officials have said.
Ukraine’s deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar and the head of Poland’s prime minister’s office, Michal Dworczyk, inaugurated the exhibit in Warsaw’s Castle Square, which was painstakingly rebuilt after its destruction during the Second World War.
Mr Dworczyk said the damaged T-72 tank, a self-propelled howitzer and elements of Russian missile systems show that Moscow’s army – once considered invincible – can be defeated.
The equipment fell into the hands of Ukrainian forces early in the war that started when Russia invaded on February 24.
The tank was destroyed on March 31 in fighting near the village of Dmytrivka, west of Kyiv.
Ms Maliar said the equipment also demonstrates the effectiveness of Ukraine’s defence systems – some of which have been provided by European countries – and underscore the need for more such support.
The display, called For Our Freedom And Yours, opened on the eve of a Nato summit in Madrid that aims to boost the strength of the military alliance’s rapid reaction force and military support for Ukraine.
Ms Maliar said Russia’s artillery is 10 times more powerful than Ukraine’s.
Kyiv has been urging its western allies to provide more military equipment and munitions to support its defence against Russian attacks in the east of the country.
There are plans to take the weapons display to the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe, Ms Maliar said.
Ukraine’s neighbour Poland has been a staunch supporter of Kyiv, seeing Ukraine’s resistance as defending all of Europe. | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/war-damaged-russian-weapons-go-on-display-in-poland-41794991.html | 2022-06-27T13:57:46Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/war-damaged-russian-weapons-go-on-display-in-poland-41794991.html | false | 51 |

Great Britain’s Jodie Burrage came to the aid of a ball boy who was taken ill during her first-round defeat to Lesia Tsurenko.
The youngster looked unsteady on his feet early in the second set of her 6-2 6-3 loss and the 23-year-old Briton attended to him, offering an energy gel from her bag and a drink.
The crowd also helped out, passing some Percy Pig sweets to her during a five-minute delay.
The ball boy was later treated by paramedics and left in a wheelchair.
The loss saw Burrage, whose impressive form in the run up to Wimbledon has seen her climb into the top 150, become the first Briton to lose at this year’s tournament. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4465605/jodie-burrage-comes-to-the-aid-of-unwell-ball-boy-at-wimbledon/ | 2022-06-27T14:03:19Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4465605/jodie-burrage-comes-to-the-aid-of-unwell-ball-boy-at-wimbledon/ | true | null |
Innovation allows redundant connection to multiple mobile carriers to enable non-stop EV charging connectivity for Electric Vehicle (EV) charger operators and EV drivers
ORLANDO, Fla., June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NovaCHARGE, an innovation-driven leader in Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), today announced it has completed successful pilots of a new Hot Standby feature that provides mobile network redundancy and eliminates single-point failover at the mobile carrier level. This feature enables more robust EVSE communications to address the critical need for timely EV charging in Fleet, Workplace, Public, and High-density Residential customers.
In the past, if the connection to a carrier degraded or was lost, EV drivers had to find another way to charge, or risk being stranded. Now, if a mobile carrier goes offline for any reason, the other carrier can be utilized by all the chargers at a site. Any failover and switch to a different carrier is completely automatic.
The success of the pilots in the City of Brevard, North Carolina, and the City of Orlando, Florida, assures that anyone managing EV chargers can tap into 100% redundancy with their mobile carriers by utilizing the hot standby feature. Before this pilot, operators were stuck with a single mobile carrier and a single point of failure.
"This expansion of EV charging infrastructure is part of Orlando's continued efforts to transform the city into one of the most environmentally friendly, socially inclusive, and economically vibrant cities in America," said Chris Castro, Orlando's Director of Sustainability and Resilience. "By expanding this more reliable critical infrastructure throughout the community this will help to support the growth of clean, zero-emission transportation solutions for city operations, residents, and visitors."
In the City of Orlando, NovaCHARGE replaced the single gateway in place and re-configured the City's chargers to support two gateways, one that is connected over the 4G-LTE service to mobile carrier ATT and a second that points to the Verizon mobile network. NovaCHARGE successfully deployed the same redundant configuration in Orlando's Blue Jacket Park adding another layer of reliability for the city's EV drivers.
"Our new hot standby feature extends the usefulness of our charger product line and cements NovaCHARGE's lead in the delivery of highly available, reliable, and sustainable EV hardware and software," said Oscar Rodriguez, chairman and CEO of NovaCHARGE. "We are especially pleased to debut this feature that ensures the critical robustness and high-availability needed to deliver reliable charging station access for drivers."
The NovaCHARGE Hot Standby solution will be on display for customer demonstrations this week at EPRI's Electrification 2022 Show (Booth #1323), in Charlotte NC.

TelevisaUnivision had something to sell in this year’s TV upfront market that many of its English-language counterparts did not: growing linear audiences.
The Spanish-language media giant has finished its upfront negotiations and expects to see rising volume of advance commitments for its advertising, according to a person familiar with the matter. This person says TelevisaUnivision anticipates a double-digit-percentage increase in volume, with CPMs, or the cost of reaching 1,000 viewers, rising as much as 8% to 9%.
Like other TV networks in the midst of selling upfront inventory this year, TelevisaUnivision noted significant advertiser interest in sports and streaming. Advertisers proved interested in the company’s soccer broadcasts, and saw ad investment in its streaming-video outlet, ViX more than double. According to the person familiar with the matter, 70% of clients who made investments in linear TV inventory also purchased ad time on ViX to gain incremental reach.
This is the first upfront completed by the company since Univison and Grupo Televisa late last year completed a $4.8 billion deal and vowed to create a new streaming outlet out of one Univision had already launched called PrendeTV. Streaming serves a different purpose than it might for others. “We went into streaming because it was a destination for our consumers, not because we needed it” to generate impressions to offset shortfalls in linear ratings, Donna Speciale, president of U.S. sales and marketing for TelevisaUnivision, told Variety in May. “We didn’t need it. Our audience craved it.”
TelevisaUnivision saw growth in commitments from technology, pharmaceutical and financial advertisers. The new outlays from the latter two are significant for the company, which has been working to increase revenue from those sectors, which have not spent as heavily on Spanish-language media in the past. | https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/televisaunivision-upfront-advertsiing-streaming-1235304027/ | 2022-06-27T14:09:17Z | https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/televisaunivision-upfront-advertsiing-streaming-1235304027/ | false | 2 |

Mother accused of stabbing children inside burning home, deputies say
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46/Gray News) – A 40-year-old woman is accused of stabbing her children inside a burning home in Atlanta Friday, according to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.
A neighbor called 911 around 9:30 Friday night to report the house fire and said that a woman inside the home was trying to stab the children, authorities said.
Investigators said seven children were inside the home when the fire started.
Firefighters found two children unresponsive when they arrived at the home. Police said an infant and another child were found with burns at the top of the stairs inside the house.
A 3-month-old with apparent stab wounds and a 9-month-old were pronounced dead at the scene, WGCL reported.
A 5-year-old died from his injuries after being taken to a nearby hospital.
Authorities said three other children between the ages of 5 and 11 were also taken to the hospital for treatment.
WGCL reports a 14-year-old and 16-year-old jumped from a second-floor window and weren’t hurt.

Vilnius (Lithuania), Jun 27 (AP) A cyberattack temporarily knocked out public and private websites in Lithuania, the country's Defense Minister said Monday, with a pro-Moscow hacker group reportedly claiming responsibility.
A distributed-denial-of-service (DDOS) attack targeted a secure national data network. The State Tax Inspectorate and Migration Department were also among the public agencies forced to suspend online services for several hours. They came online again later the same day.

The incident came a week after Russian officials threatened to retaliate because Lithuania restricted the transit of steel and ferrous metals under EU sanctions. The ban on goods under European Union sanctions was announced by Lithuanian authorities earlier this month and prompted a flurry of angry retorts from Moscow, with the Kremlin denouncing the move as unprecedented and unlawful.
Moscow has accused Lithuania and the EU of violating international agreements, threatening a “non-diplomatic” response. Local authorities in Lithuania had warned that cyberattacks were likely to follow.
The ministry didn't name the hackers but the Baltic News Service said the pro-Kremlin group “Killnet” had claimed the attack. (AP)

Saints Players With Most to Prove in 2022
We're just about three weeks away from the Saints rookies reporting to training camp on July 19. Veterans will join up the following week on July 26, and practices will get underway by the end of next month. New Orleans is looking to get back into the postseason after a successful five-year run came to an end last season. Despite a season full of adversity, they narrowly missed the playoffs,
This is a hungry team that's certainly made some enhancements and upgrades from last season, but there are still some lingering questions. Part of that hinges on some particular players and their potential going into 2022. The Saints News Network Team got together once again to weigh in with their player that has the most to prove this upcoming season and why.
Brendan Boylan - Tyrann Mathieu
Weirdly enough, I am convinced that the Honey Badger has the most to prove during Training Camp this summer. Mathieu joins New Orleans as one of the biggest offseason moves of the past two decades. Between his excellent play on the field and being a New Orleans native, Mathieu carries high expectations this season to be an immediate impact player and lead one of the league’s best defensive units.
There is pressure to being a hometown hero playing for your hometown team for the first time. That pressure is on Mathieu to prove right from the jump that he is the player all of Who Dat Nation knows he can be.
Bob Rose - Marcus Davenport
An obvious choice here is Jameis Winston, but I think the 25-year-old Davenport has just as much to prove on the defensive side. He's always flashed the potential of a perennial Pro Bowler, but has been held back because of injuries and inconsistency.
Davenport had the most productive year of his career last season, but was still unavailable for six games. With Cam Jordan entering his 12th season and Payton Turner still unproven, Davenport needs to stay on the field. If he can, I believe he has the potential to be the league's defensive MVP.

Kyle T. Mosley - Andrus Peat
Andrus Peat has had a year of starting a family, sustaining another significant injury, and is now without his offensive linemate left tackle Terron Armstead. The Saints' former top draft pick's career has been uneven. He has three years remaining on his five-year, $57M extension. Can Peat stay healthy, protect Winston, and anchor the left side with either James Hurst or first-round pick Trevor Penning for 2022-23? We shall see.
There's plenty of candidates that have a lot on the line going into the new season, and honestly any of the top players facing their contract year could get top billing. However, Michael Thomas is the guy that feels like he has the most to prove in 2022. Being 2019's Offensive Player of the Year seems like such a long time ago, and for a player who was completely ascending, 2020 and 2021 were really difficult seasons all around.
The fluke injury at the end of Week 1's win against the Buccaneers during the COVID-riddled season set the stage for Thomas to get shut down and placed on injured reserve. There was also the whole fight incident with C.J. Gardner-Johnson in between there. Thomas returned in Week 9 and ended up putting together a few decent games, but he really wasn't the same and had to be shut down for good by Week 14.
Fast forward to the offseason in 2021, and there was the debacle with the offseason surgery and apparent miscommunication. Those fences ended up getting mended after quite a heightened period of not knowing what the future held. Thomas was expected to be back at some point during a year where New Orleans absolutely needed him, but in early November we learned that there was a setback and he wouldn't be in the mix for the season.
Even missing as much time as he did, Thomas is still in the Top 5 of receiver receptions since 2016. We've seen Thomas around the facility, and he's doing rehab. He wasn't ready to go during minicamp, but all signs are pointing to training camp of him being out there. The rehab videos have circled, and New Orleans may use a cautious approach with him to ensure there's nothing left to chance.
Regardless of when Thomas comes back, it's a very important milestone. He can be extremely dominant when in the lineup, and the supporting cast actually may take some pressure off him to perform at an elite level. The chemistry is something to develop with Jameis Winston, but it'll work.
For some, getting No. 13 out there could be the best thing to happen for the Saints. He'll have the chip on his shoulder, and will have a lot of critics and doubters to silence.

Civil and reproductive rights groups say the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is yet another attack on communities of color which will leave millions of Black and brown women without access to abortion care.
Since the ruling became public Friday, leaders of Black, Latino, Asian American and Native American groups have condemned the court's decision. Their communities would be among the hardest hit by abortion restrictions, leaders say, due to myriad issues, including existing health care access disparities, financial hardship and a long history of criminalization.
"We are not surprised. The courts have never served our communities," said Lupe M. Rodríguez, executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice. "Once again, the Supreme Court has gone against the will of the people."
Their comments came as protests erupted across the country and several states prepared to quickly implement their abortion "trigger" laws, created to ban abortion if Roe v. Wade fell.
In many states, Black and Latino women receive abortions at higher rates than White women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which collects data from state health agencies.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade underscores the economic hardships and maternal health crisis Black and brown women face, with many advocates saying forced pregnancies would only worsen their outcomes. For example, Black women are three times more likely than White women to die of pregnancy-related complications. Abortion rights leaders also worry poor Black and Latino women will not have the money to travel out of state for an abortion.
Poor women of all races are impacted
The Guttmacher Institute, a research group supporting abortion rights, says poor or low-income woman represent 75% of abortion patients.
CNN senior political analyst Nia-Malika Henderson said one of the main reasons why women choose to get an abortion is because they cannot support a child financially.
As abortion rights are determined by each state, the question is whether state officials will expand the social safety net for women who are forced to carry their babies to term.
"They will have to get all sorts of medical care. Will there be paid family leave at these jobs? We know this is going to fall disproportionately on women who are poor of all races; White, Black, Latino, Asian," Henderson said. "They can't afford to go to another state where they can get an abortion."
Isra Pananon Weeks, interim executive director and chief of staff of the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum, said many Asian American and Pacific Islander women work in low-wage, front-line service jobs with no health insurance or paid medical leave.
Abortion care is "riddled with language barriers, cultural stigmas, and low rates of insurance coverage among our most vulnerable community members" and traveling and getting an abortion was already "difficult if not impossible," Weeks said.
"Gutting Roe cuts off access to abortion care and puts the well-being and financial stability for millions of AAPI women and families at tremendous risk," Weeks said.
'We need to fight back'
Black-led social justice groups said the gutting of Roe v. Wade is just the latest example of lawmakers stripping their rights.
The NAACP released a statement with one leader saying the Supreme Court decision sets the country back to a "dangerous era where basic constitutional rights only exist for a select few."
Portia White, policy and legislative affairs vice president for the NAACP, likened the abortion ruling to lawmakers suppressing the Black vote.
"They've stripped away our right to vote, and now women have lost their right to their own body. What's next?" White said. "We cannot allow our future to rest in the hands of those determined to crush every bit of it. We need to fight back."
White said the NAACP will be mobilizing voters for the "most critical midterm election America has ever faced" in November.
Movement for Black Lives leaders said the Supreme Court move is "another affront to Black lives in this country with those in power continuously proving that they do not care about the health and well-being of Black people."
"As a Black liberation movement guided by Black feminist values and a commitment to abolition, we see the fall of Roe for what it is: another avenue for the state to criminalize, surveil and harm the most vulnerable among us," the group said in a statement.
Reproductive rights advocates from the Latino community also rejected the decision.
UnidosUS president Janet Murguía said the Latino community already knows what it feels like to have their rights taken away and have ordinary activity criminalized. Murguía said advocates are concerned abortion bans will make poor women and women of color more vulnerable to being prosecuted and penalized.
"As a civil rights organization, we believe we must side with protecting women's rights, and not with a process that eviscerates them," she said. "A majority of women -- and a majority of Latinas -- want the freedom to make their own decisions regarding their health and well-being, and believe these decisions should be a private matter between them and their health care provider."
The Native American community will also suffer without abortion access, advocates say.
Crystal Echo Hawk, founder and executive director of IllumiNative, said Native American women and girls will face an increase in violence because they may be forced to stay in a bad relationship with an abusive partner or trafficker if they are pregnant.
"Reproductive rights and systemic violence are intrinsically linked, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color women, transgender, nonbinary and Two-Spirit persons already face some of the highest rates of sexual violence and maternal death," Echo Hawk said. "Access to abortion and reproductive care is foundational to safety and well-being. This is a matter of life or death for many in Native communities."

Supreme Court’s abortion ruling sets off new court fights
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade moved Monday to courtrooms around the country as anti-abortion advocates looked to quickly enact statewide bans and their opponents sought to buy more time.
The high court’s decision Friday to end constitutional protections for abortion opened the gates for a wave of legal battles from all sides.
Many of the court cases will focus on “trigger laws,” adopted in 13 states in anticipation of the ruling and designed to take effect quickly. Lawsuits could also target old anti-abortion laws that went unenforced under Roe, and cases over abortion restrictions that were put on hold awaiting the Supreme Court ruling are also starting to come back into play.
“We’ll be back in court tomorrow and the next day and the next day,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which argued the case that resulted in Supreme Court ruling, told reporters in a video call Friday.
On Monday, a Florida judge is considering a request from abortion rights advocates to block a new state law, which bans abortions after 15 weeks with some exceptions and is set to take effect July 1. The Planned Parenthood Association of Utah has already challenged a trigger law with narrow exceptions. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and an abortion-rights group filed an emergency motion Saturday seeking to block a 2021 law that they worry can be used to halt all abortions.
Brigitte Amiri, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Reproductive Freedom Project, said the organization is looking at “all options” to protect access to abortion. As of Saturday, abortion services had stopped in at least 11 states — either because of state laws or confusion over them.
In some cases, the lawsuits may only be a play for time. Even if courts block some abortion bans or restrictions from taking hold, lawmakers in many conservative state could move quickly to address any flaws cited.
Challenges to trigger laws could be made on the grounds that the conditions to impose the bans have not been met, or that it was improper for a past legislature to bind the current one to a new law. Laura Herner, a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, said trigger bans or restrictions could also be challenged using equal protection arguments.
She said other challenges might call into question whether laws sufficiently and clearly allow for exceptions to protect the life or health of a pregnant woman.
Newly written bans, too, will likely face challenges. Instead of relying on a constitutional protection at the federal level, abortion rights supporters will be making the case that state constitutions guarantee the right to abortion.
A judge is hearing arguments on that issue Monday in Florida, where attorneys are seeking an emergency injunction to stop a new law from taking effect Friday. The ban beyond 15 weeks have exceptions to save the pregnant woman’s life or prevent physical harm or in cases where the fetus has a fatal abnormality. The ACLU of Florida argues it violates the state’s constitution.
Still other cases could be filed as states try to sort out whether abortion bans in place before Roe was decided — sometimes referred to as “zombie laws” — apply now that there is no federal protection for abortion.
For instance, Wisconsin passed a law in 1849 banning abortions except to save the life of the mother. Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, said he does not believe it’s enforceable. Pro-Life Wisconsin and other abortion opponents have called on lawmakers to impose a new ban.
In the meantime, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said it was immediately suspending all abortions, though the district attorneys in the counties that include Madison and Milwaukee have both suggested that they would not enforce the ban.
In Michigan, Planned Parenthood was proactive, challenging a 1931 abortion ban ahead of the Supreme Court ruling. In May, a judge said the ban could not be enforced because it violates the state’s constitution. Abortion rights supporters are now trying to get a proposed state constitutional amendment on the ballot in November to spell out that people can make their own decisions about abortion and birth control.
Advocates and experts also expect to see court fights over state efforts to pursue legal action against people who cross state lines to seek abortions — or to protect people from such action.
Idaho, Oklahoma and Texas have adopted laws that allow people to seek bounties against those who help others get abortions. There’s a question over whether that means people can be pursued across state lines — and some states are acting ahead of time to prevent that.
For instance, the California Legislature, controlled by Democrats, passed a bill Thursday to shield abortion providers and volunteers in the state from civil judgments imposed by other states. In liberal Massachusetts, Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, signed an executive order on Friday that prohibits state agencies from assisting other states’ investigations into anyone who receives or delivers reproductive health services that are legal in Massachusetts.
“It’s going to be very confusing and have a lot of moving parts and the patients are really going to be the ones who bear the brunt of this. There’s going to be a lot of confusion about where people can access abortion,” said Amiri, of the ACLU.

Global B2B e-commerce company, Alibaba.com, partners with AliResearch to co-publish a report that reveals telling research on the survival of Micro- Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) throughout and beyond the pandemic in time for MSME Day 2022.
GENEVA, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate MSME Day 2022 on June 27, Alibaba.com and AliResearch Institute, Alibaba Group's research arm, published the report "Challenges, Responses, and Transformation of MSMEs in the Post-Pandemic Era". The report takes a multi-focal look at how Micro- Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) fared through the pandemic to provide a better understanding of what action businesses took in order to survive, revealing key findings that include:
- MSMEs are critical to the global economy, comprising 90% of businesses worldwide and contributing 70%+ of global employment and 50-60% of GDP.
- MSMEs were hit hard by the pandemic, with micro-businesses suffering disproportionately: up to 70% of global MSMEs saw sales decline with two-thirds reporting their sales dropped by 40%.
- MSMEs offline business has been severely disrupted by lack of demand while online sales have skyrocketed; digitization is an effective way for MSMEs to risk-proof their business: the survival rate of MSMEs is 7 percentage points higher in the regions with the highest ecommerce than in those with the lowest.
This research report was led and drafted by Professor Gan Li, an economist at Texas A&M University, and his academic research team, based on key findings from a quantitative survey among MSMEs led by Alibaba.com and AliResearch, as well as studies through a wide variety of relevant public and academic information sources. The report is available in multiple languages and can be downloaded here.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 27 June as Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day (A/RES/71/279) in order to raise awareness of the contribution that small businesses make to sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth and, shared prosperity and decent work for all.
One of the most significant observations of the Alibaba.com report is that MSMEs are not only the backbone of the post-pandemic economic recovery but also a key contributor to a more inclusive and diverse economy. According to the report, MSMEs account for 90% of businesses, 70% of employment, and 50~60% of GDP worldwide. In the US, 28% of small businesses are minority-owned, and 33% are women-owned[1].
The research also uncovered that of all MSMEs, the pandemic took the largest toll on smaller MSMEs. This was to be expected since many smaller businesses simply did not have the resources or infrastructure to roll with the punches of repeated shutdowns, local restrictions, shortages, and other issues caused by the pandemic.
Less than a quarter of MSMEs escaped the negative effects of the pandemic-- with only 23.5% of MSMEs not suffering from a decline in sales. Two-thirds of MSMEs had business drop by 40%. These statistics only begin to encompass the effects of the pandemic that has now been going on for over two years,
"We have to recognize that MSMEs are not only critical economic players but their health and prosperity are also critical to a full and sustainable global economic recovery. Consequently, we have released this report to help return MSMEs to the center stage and facilitate broader and more practical discussions about supporting MSMEs and equipping them for greater economic impact." Said Hongbin Gao, Vice-president of Alibaba Group, Head of AliResearch Institute
Digital transformation has proven to be a lifeline to many MSMEs during the pandemic, by reducing their costs, providing timely access to information, optimizing workflows, and expanding into new markets. Although e-commerce was already very popular in retail, the pandemic has sped up its adoption in the wholesale and manufacturing industries.
The research revealed that the survival rate of MSMEs is 7 percentage points higher in the regions with the highest e-commerce penetration than in those with the lowest. In addition, the economic downturn was less severe in regions with higher e-commerce penetration rates.
Andrew Zheng, Vice-President of Alibaba.com, said, "The pandemic has changed global trade forever. There is no denying that businesses and individuals have suffered tremendously. However, the creativity and ingenuity that MSMEs have put into action to overcome the many hurdles created by the pandemic are nothing short of impressive. E-commerce may have served as a survival mechanism throughout the pandemic, but moving forward, it will remain a valuable tool for global trade. Social selling, live commerce, virtual trade shows, and request for quotation (RFQ) marketplaces allow sellers to get creative in how they reach their audiences and make it easier for them to connect with their ideal clients. Through digitization, MSMEs can also easily access insights related to internet traffic, demand forecasting, and other key analytics that empower them to make better decisions for their businesses."

Katie Price is reported to the police AGAIN: Reality star, 44, is accused of trying to pass message to her ex Kieran Hayler's fiancee despite restraining order - as she suns herself in Thailand days after dodging jail
Katie Price's former husband Kieran Hayler has reported her to police again over claims she tried to pass a message to his fiancee, it emerged today.
Mr Hayler, who split from Price in 2018, spoke to officers last week and alleged she had asked one of their children to 'pass a message to his fiancee Michelle Penticost'.
The glamour model, 44, avoided jail again last week after claiming she 'misunderstood' the rules of a restraining order banning her from contacting Miss Penticost, who she had called a 'gutter s**g'.
'Kieran claims that Katie told one of their children to 'tell Michelle she can't send her to prison' - he spoke to police about it last week as he feels like this breaks the rules of the restraining order,' a friend told The Sun.
Katie Price is currently in Bangkok, Thailand, where she is seen Facetiming her son Harvey yesterday

Mr Hayler's representative confirmed to MailOnline that he had made the report to police and said investigations were ongoing.
Price's agent has been contacted for comment.
The former I'm A Celebrity contestant faced the prospect of a stint behind bars after admitting her later restraining order breach.
She was convicted earlier this year, just weeks after flipping her BMW X5 having spent the night drinking and taking cocaine - her ninth driving offence.
Price - who attended court wearing an all-green outfit and was heard to tell a reporter to 'suck my d**k' after she was asked about the prospects of a prison sentence - had been banned from contacting Ms Penticost directly or indirectly for five years in June 2019.
This was after she hurled a foul-mouthed 'tirade of abuse' at her during a row in a school playground.
The message read: 'Tell your c***ing w***e piece of s**t girlfriend not to start on me.
'She has a restraining order so shouldn't try antagonise me as she is in breach and I'm sure she doesn't want people knowing that she was having an affair with you behind my back. That gutter s**g.'
The court heard the offence was committed due to Price's use of the words 'tell your', which was an indirect attempt to communicate with Penticost.
It was also said that her message to Mr Hayler may have been triggered by an Instagram post by Ms Penticost, which she denies was aimed at Price.
But at Lewes Crown Court last week Price was told she would not be going to prison, but would have to do 170 hours of community service and pay £1,500 costs.
Judge Stephen Mooney told Price: 'In my judgement, this offence was committed out of anger.
'The words you used were highly offensive and inflammatory so the breach cannot be considered minor.
'In my judgement, balancing the aggravating and mitigating factors, the appropriate sentence is a medium-level community order.'
The usual suspect: Katie Price's rap sheet in full including drink-driving BMW crash, bankruptcy, restraining order breaches and string of speeding fines... after she dodged jail AGAIN
By Chay Quinn and Tom Pyman for MailOnline
Katie Price avoided jail again last week after claiming she 'misunderstood' the rules of a restraining order when she sent a 'vile and nasty' message about her ex-husband's fiancee.
The court heard the offence was a committed due to Price's use of the words 'tell your', which was an indirect attempt to communicate with Penticost.
This was a contravention of the restraining order Penticost got against Price following a vicious tirade in a school playground.
Price avoided jailed but Lewes Crown Court gave her 170 hours of community service and she was ordered to pay £1,500 costs.
Her latest brush with the law is the most recent in a string of incidents during her 20-year career as a glamour model and reality TV star.
The former I'm A Celeb star, 44, was convicted earlier this year, just weeks after flipping her BMW X5 having spent the night drinking and taking cocaine - her ninth driving offence.
Price - who attended court wearing an all-green outfit and was heard to tell a reporter to 'suck my d**k' after she was asked about the prospects of a prison sentence - had been banned from contacting Miss Penticost directly or indirectly for five years in June 2019.
MailOnline takes a look at Katie Price's chequered legal history below...
2003
Katie Price escaped a speeding charge after police failed to arrest her within 12 weeks of allegedly clocking 70mph in a 40mph zone in her Range Rover.
2008
After talking on the mobile phone while driving on April 18, Price landed three penalty points.
2009
Price failed to provide the identity of the driver after her car was allegedly caught speeding in a 30mph zone and was later handed four penalty points after being clocked at 99mph and was handed four points on her licence.
2010
Price was convicted for failing to be in proper control of her horsebox after veering into another lane in February and was given three points on her licence, bringing her total to 10.
2010
Then in December she banned from driving for six months after doing 83mph in a 70mph zone in her home county of West Sussex.
2012
Two years later, Katie was disqualified for 12 months for failing to respond to two speeding tickets in September.
2018
Katie landed a six-month ban in February 2018 for speeding after totting up 12 penalty points for speeding.
2018
In July, photos emerged of her driving while still banned.
2018

Officials in Devon turned to specialist gangbusters from Merseyside to tackle rampant drug dealing from Liverpool county lines gangs.
The Devon and Cornwall police area is the eighth most affected by illegal drugs supplied by Merseyside gangs, according to Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez. Ms Hernandez spoke following a series of raids involving officers from Merseyside Police which helped lead to the arrests of 40 people earlier this month.
Those raids, across Torquay and Teignmouth, followed another series of raids involving the Merseyside officers in May, which saw 43 people and a number of weapons seized in Plymouth. The Merseyside officers involved were part of an initiative dubbed Project Medusa, which aims to tackle county lines drug-dealing.

Ms Hernandez praised the "specialist" officers. She said: "One of the places where drugs have a hold over too many people is Torquay, my home town, so it was great last week to see a huge amount of police action on drug dealing.
"Around 100 officers in total, including 30 from the specialist Operation Medusa team from Merseyside Police, swept through Torquay and Teignmouth. After a huge amount of work a total of 40 people had been arrested, drugs and weapons had been seized and South Devon was significantly safer.
"I’d like to thank both the Merseyside team and the local officers who put a considerable amount of effort into preparing intelligence for this operation to ensure that the Liverpudlians had plenty of property, people and vehicles to search.
"Well resourced by the Home Office, the specialists in county lines dealing know exactly what and who to look for, their undercover officers look the part, wear the right labels, hair styles and trainers as those they are looking for. They have portable automatic number plate recognition kit, pursuit vehicles and lots of experience from similar operations around the country.
"Their role is to stem the supply of drugs from Liverpool to Devon and Cornwall. This is a real problem with our force area ranked eighth of 43 in England and Wales for the supply of drugs from Merseyside."
The most recent raids involved the seizure of "multiple kilograms" of cocaine, heroin and amphetamines, a "significant" amount of cash, a number of bladed weapons, 12 vehicles, mobile phones and electronic scales.
Ms Hernandez added: "The idea is to tell dealers, wherever they be in London, Liverpool or anywhere else, that our communities will not tolerate drugs. And, as those picked up last week are finding out, if they decide to drop off narcotics in our neck of the woods, they may well be staying for longer than they had planned."
Merseyside Police Inspector Darren Wallace said: "Project Medusa is dedicated to cutting these County Lines dead and as this operation has shown, regional boundaries do not matter. We work with partners in other forces to trace those organised criminals responsible and help those who may be exploited by these gangs."

iRhythm Technologies (IRTC) Moves 5.1% Higher: Will This Strength Last?
iRhythm Technologies IRTC shares rallied 5.1% in the last trading session to close at $115.62. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 19.5% loss over the past four weeks.
iRhythm Technologies recorded a strong price increase before its second-quarter 2022 earnings release with the latest Zacks Consensus Estimate showing significant upward revision for its quarterly revenues compared to the year-ago reported number. The company is expected to release its fiscal first-quarter earnings on Aug 4, 2022. iRhythm Technologies held an investor presentation on Jun 16, where it reiterated its full-year revenue outlook and confirmed that CY 2023 process is currently underway, with proposed rule expected in July 2022. These developments raise optimism regarding the stock.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.94 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -59.3%. Revenues are expected to be $99.2 million, up 22.1% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For iRhythm Technologies, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised marginally higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on IRTC going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

MOSCOW — More than four months after she was arrested at a Moscow airport for cannabis possession, a Russian court has set the start date of the criminal trial of U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner for July 1.
The Phoenix Mercury star was also ordered to remain in custody for the duration of her criminal trial. She could face 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of large-scale transportation of drugs. Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in the U.S., acquittals can be overturned.
On Monday, the court in the Moscow suburb of Khimki extended Griner’s detention for another six months after she appeared for a preliminary hearing held behind closed doors. Photos obtained by the AP showed her appearing in handcuffs. Griner had previously been ordered to remain in pretrial detention until July 2.
Griner’s detention and trial come at an extraordinarily low point in Moscow-Washington relations. She was arrested at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport less than a week before Russia sent troops into Ukraine, which aggravated already-high tensions with sweeping sanctions by the United States and Russia’s denunciation of U.S. weapon supplies to Ukraine.
Amid the tensions, Griner’s supporters had taken a low profile in hopes of a quiet resolution, until May, when the State Department reclassified her as wrongfully detained and shifted oversight of her case to its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs — effectively the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.
That move has drawn additional attention to Griner’s case, with supporters encouraging a prisoner swap like the one in April that brought home Marine veteran Trevor Reed in exchange for a Russian pilot convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy.
Russian news media have repeatedly raised speculation that she could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “The Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence on conviction of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization.
Russia has agitated for Bout’s release for years. But the discrepancy between Griner’s case — she allegedly was found in possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil — and Bout’s global dealings in deadly weapons could make such a swap unpalatable to the U.S.
Others have suggested that she could be traded in tandem with Paul Whelan, a former Marine and security director serving a 16-year sentence on an espionage conviction that the United States has repeatedly described as a set-up.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, asked Sunday on CNN whether a joint swap of Griner and Whelan for Bout was being considered, sidestepped the question.
“As a general proposition ... I have got no higher priority than making sure that Americans who are being illegally detained in one way or another around the world come home,” he said. But “I can’t comment in any detail on what we’re doing, except to say this is an absolute priority.”
Any swap would apparently require Griner to first be convicted and sentenced, then apply for a presidential pardon, Maria Yarmush, a lawyer specializing in international civil affairs, told Kremlin-funded TV channel RT. | https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky-and-wnba/2022/6/27/23184795/brittney-griner-trial-date-set-in-russian-court | 2022-06-27T14:48:00Z | https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky-and-wnba/2022/6/27/23184795/brittney-griner-trial-date-set-in-russian-court | false | 65 |
HZG Group
Frank Carsten Herzog, left, with Kerstin Herzog, right.
HZG Group has raised €60 million for its HZG Additive Manufacturing Tech Fund, which will support early-stage start-ups across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The fund has been closed at the upper limit of €60m due to a ‘significant oversubscription.’ Initially, the fund closed at €50m, with €25m being invested by Kerstin Herzog and Frank Carsten Herzog – the original founders of Concept Laser. Since then, renowned family offices, experienced entrepreneurs and other investors are said to have subscribed to the remaining shares of the fund.
Investments made by the HZG Additive Manufacturing Tech Fund will focus on all areas of additive manufacturing and related industrial fields, encompassing machines, processes, applications and services in the context of Industry 4.0. The organisation expects to carry out two to three investments per year, with a research and development centre in Lichtenfels currently being built ‘at the highest international standards.’ This site is being developed in partnership with NADDCON, another brand of the HZG Group which ‘bundles the necessary infrastructure for testing and optimising applicable digital technologies of the future.’
“We were confident that our offer would attract investors. However, being able to close the fund so fast came as a pleasant surprise,” commented Frank Carsten Herzog, founder and Managing Partner of HZG Group. “We are in the fortunate position of having assembled a hand-picked group of investors with whom we will be able to engage in intensive dialogue. With our combined experience, proven track record and access to an excellent 3D printing infrastructure, we aim to effectively support young entrepreneurs, taking them to the next level and establishing them as industry partners.”
“As a technology leader in eye laser systems, SCHWIND eye-tech solutions is constantly working on innovative solutions,” added Rolf Schwind, one of the HZG fund investors. “Additive technologies allow us to rethink our high-tech products. The clear focus of the HZG Fund on 3D printing and the experience of Frank Carsten Herzog and Kerstin Herzog as pioneers in this field convinced me to continue investing in this future topic.”

Solution can now be sold in the U.S. and around the world, providing customers an alternative to the SAS language environment
TROY, Mich., June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI), paid and fully satisfied the 2019 North Carolina judgment SAS Institute obtained against recently acquired World Programming (WPL), a UK-based technology company that specializes in data analytics software. Shortly thereafter on March 3, 2022, the North Carolina court lifted the injunction that had previously prevented WPL from licensing its solutions to new customers in the United States. Altair can now license WPL solutions to customers in the United States and around the world.
With its payment of the 2019 North Carolina judgment, Altair brought an end to nearly 12 years of litigation between SAS and WPL except for an appeal filed by SAS in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit after a federal court in Texas ruled against SAS on its copyright and patent claims.
"WPL exemplifies our dedication to open architecture technology, which we believe is the best way people can harness innovation, improve products, and get the most from their work. Offering the flexibility to translate and interchange coding languages will allow organizations to build the foundation for more robust, powerful, and agile organizational processes," said James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. "Now, companies in any industry across the globe can embrace open-source languages and technology while simultaneously leveraging the decades of investment they've put into the SAS language."
WPL's technology has been brought into the Altair suite of data analytics solutions and allows users to develop and execute software solutions in multi-language coding environments. Customers can utilize modern, open-source languages like Python, R, and SQL alongside established, legacy languages like the SAS language. These products include:
- Altair SLC: Runs programs written in the SAS language syntax without users needing to translate it or license third-party products. Also features a built-in SAS language compiler that runs the SAS language and SQL code and utilizes Python and R compilers to run Python and R code and exchange SAS language datasets, Pandas, and R data frames.
- Altair SmartWorks Hub: Gives users and organizations centralized governance and deployment services for every step in the data analytics lifecycle. Also lets organizations control access to data sources and deployed applications, stores audit logs about all user actions, and gives all users the power to handle tasks once considered the exclusive domain of information technology (IT) and DevOps teams.
- Altair Analytics Workbench: Empowers users to break down data silos, improve productivity, and reduce costs by giving teams a single platform where all users can connect, prepare, discover, and model any data. Also gives users an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface that lets them include Python, R, and SQL code into their SAS language programs – without needing to license third-party programs to run the SAS language programs.
With the acquisition of WPL, Altair is the first company to give organizations an alternative environment with the flexibility to leverage their decades of investment in the SAS language alongside modern, open-source coding languages, giving them the true power of a hybrid approach. Customers don't have to reprogram old code if they want to incorporate existing SAS language code into new platforms where R, SQL, or Python is the dominant language. Additionally, organizations can use the newly acquired WPL technology to integrate SAS language code that has been running on outdated servers into new servers without having to worry about incurring additional power-based licensing costs.
Altair SLC, Altair SmartWorks Hub, and Altair Analytics Workbench are available via Altair Units, which gives customers easy access to Altair's entire portfolio of software solutions.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Heat advisories continued Monday for much of Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley as a ridge of high pressure sat over the West Coast.
Temperatures away from the coast were expected to remain well above normal, topping out in triple digits in many areas, the National Weather Service said.
The conditions kept firefighters on alert.
In Riverside County, a wildfire that triggered evacuations in Jurupa Valley on Saturday was significantly contained by Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The immediate coast escaped the heat due to low clouds and fog that were slow to clear or did not clear at all.
Forecasters said hot and dry conditions will continue Tuesday and then the arrival of a low-pressure system will begin gradual cooling on Wednesday. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Heat-wave-keeps-grip-on-much-of-California-17268002.php | 2022-06-27T14:53:37Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Heat-wave-keeps-grip-on-much-of-California-17268002.php | false | null |

Sinclair (SBGI) Soars 5.5%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?
Sinclair (SBGI) shares ended the last trading session 5.5% higher at $20.99. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 16.7% loss over the past four weeks.
Increased optimism over speculated soft-launch of the company's local sports streaming service in five markets including Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, Milwaukee and Tampa drove the stock higher.
This television broadcasting company is expected to post quarterly loss of $3.35 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +16.9%. Revenues are expected to be $1.65 billion, up 2.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Sinclair, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on SBGI going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

More than $5,000 raised for former South Side teacher in need of kidney, pancreas
Brandon Talley has dedicated his life to Columbus' South Side, and the community he is so passionate about is stepping up to help him.
The 43-year-old taught at Siebert Elementary School and worked at Schiller Park for about two decades, but he is now on the transplant list for a kidney and a pancreas.
“If I wasn’t from the South Side, from here, I wouldn’t be able to do it," Talley said. "This is what made me strong and the person I am today — these streets out here.”
More:Owners of Columbus Castings site plan to build three light-industrial buildings
Community Grounds started a fundraiser for Talley a couple of weeks ago and it culminated with an event over the weekend with the help of Guardians for Heart, a character group that routinely partners with the coffee shop for community events.
The fundraiser raised over $5,000 to help Talley with his medical expenses. Many of his family, friends and former students came to the event to show their support.
"(The money) really would help me out a lot," he said.
Community Grounds owner Tara Mullins-Cosme has watched her friend get sicker and struggle to keep up with his medical bills. She’s known Talley since her son was in elementary school, and she said Talley was a crucial support system for him at the school and rec center.
Mullins-Cosme routinely posts updates about his condition on the coffee shop’s Facebook page to raise awareness and rally support from the community.
“Our son has special needs,” Mullins-Cosme said. “(Talley) was one of the first people to believe in him and push him and say what he thought he could do.”
Talley's diagnosis
Talley has stage four kidney failure and has been on dialysis since June 2020.
“I always assumed dialysis was for an old person,” he said. “I never thought I would need dialysis.”
Kidney failure doesn’t run in his family, so his diagnosis came as a complete shock to him.
“I was real angry at first,” he said.
More:Organ transplants were slashed at start of the COVID pandemic. But 2021 saw the most ever.
He went on the kidney transplant list in October 2020. More than 90,000 people in the United States are waiting for a kidney donation, according to Donate Life America.
He needs a living donor for his kidney, and the average wait time for a new kidney is three to five years, according to the National Kidney Foundation.
He travels Downtown for dialysis three times a week for four and a half hours at Fresenius Kidney Care.
Because of his kidney failure, his heart stopped working, so he had surgery to fix his heart at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center around Christmas 2020.
“It's heartbreaking," said Amy Arnold, a friend of Talley's who teaches fourth grade at Siebert Elementary. "He was a person who was full of life. He is putting everything into fighting this illness.”
Talley — who found out he was diabetic while playing football at Otterbein University — has also been on the transplant list for a pancreas since November 2021.
The average wait for a pancreas transplant is about 20 months, according to the Mayo Clinic. 900 people in the United States are waiting for a new pancreas, according to Donate Life.
“Nothing in life is fair," Talley said. "I try to have a positive attitude about it.”
His faith in God, his parents and his two kids help him press on as he waits to get his organ transplants.
He anxiously waits for the phone to ring saying there is a kidney or a pancreas for him,
“God hears your prayers and He’s going to answer them eventually so it’s having that patience," he said.
'It teaches you how to survive'
To Talley, the South Side is more than an address. It's a neighborhood that’s shaped who he is and has chosen to help the next generation.
“It teaches you how to survive," he said. Now he lives in Schumacher Place and frequents Schiller Park and the Parsons branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
He grow up off of Thurman Avenue and went to Heyl Elementary and Barrett School — both schools are now closed — and South High School. He was the P.E.A.K. teacher at Siebert for 18 years where he helped with student discipline before stopping because of his diagnosis.
More:CSX plans on demolishing 95-year-old roundhouse on Far South Side. Some want to save it.
“I stayed in this community the whole time," Talley said. "I showed people that you can come from nothing. You still can be a positive person and a role model in this community. I was able to make a difference by staying in my community.”
Talley doesn’t meet a stranger on the South Side.
“I know hundreds of kids that can look on their childhood and see the difference Brandon made," said Arnold, of the South Side.
Talley made it a point to mentor children on the South Side, especially those who’s fathers were no longer in their lives, often playing basketball or taking them to the movies, Arnold said.
“He’s just that person that stable pillar for so many of the people who are South Siders," Arnold said.

Global B2B e-commerce company, Alibaba.com, partners with AliResearch to co-publish a report that reveals telling research on the survival of Micro- Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) throughout and beyond the pandemic in time for MSME Day 2022.
GENEVA, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate MSME Day 2022 on June 27, Alibaba.com and AliResearch Institute, Alibaba Group's research arm, published the report "Challenges, Responses, and Transformation of MSMEs in the Post-Pandemic Era". The report takes a multi-focal look at how Micro- Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) fared through the pandemic to provide a better understanding of what action businesses took in order to survive, revealing key findings that include:
- MSMEs are critical to the global economy, comprising 90% of businesses worldwide and contributing 70%+ of global employment and 50-60% of GDP.
- MSMEs were hit hard by the pandemic, with micro-businesses suffering disproportionately: up to 70% of global MSMEs saw sales decline with two-thirds reporting their sales dropped by 40%.
- MSMEs offline business has been severely disrupted by lack of demand while online sales have skyrocketed; digitization is an effective way for MSMEs to risk-proof their business: the survival rate of MSMEs is 7 percentage points higher in the regions with the highest ecommerce than in those with the lowest.
This research report was led and drafted by Professor Gan Li, an economist at Texas A&M University, and his academic research team, based on key findings from a quantitative survey among MSMEs led by Alibaba.com and AliResearch, as well as studies through a wide variety of relevant public and academic information sources. The report is available in multiple languages and can be downloaded here.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 27 June as Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day (A/RES/71/279) in order to raise awareness of the contribution that small businesses make to sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth and, shared prosperity and decent work for all.
One of the most significant observations of the Alibaba.com report is that MSMEs are not only the backbone of the post-pandemic economic recovery but also a key contributor to a more inclusive and diverse economy. According to the report, MSMEs account for 90% of businesses, 70% of employment, and 50~60% of GDP worldwide. In the US, 28% of small businesses are minority-owned, and 33% are women-owned[1].
The research also uncovered that of all MSMEs, the pandemic took the largest toll on smaller MSMEs. This was to be expected since many smaller businesses simply did not have the resources or infrastructure to roll with the punches of repeated shutdowns, local restrictions, shortages, and other issues caused by the pandemic.
Less than a quarter of MSMEs escaped the negative effects of the pandemic-- with only 23.5% of MSMEs not suffering from a decline in sales. Two-thirds of MSMEs had business drop by 40%. These statistics only begin to encompass the effects of the pandemic that has now been going on for over two years,
"We have to recognize that MSMEs are not only critical economic players but their health and prosperity are also critical to a full and sustainable global economic recovery. Consequently, we have released this report to help return MSMEs to the center stage and facilitate broader and more practical discussions about supporting MSMEs and equipping them for greater economic impact." Said Hongbin Gao, Vice-president of Alibaba Group, Head of AliResearch Institute
Digital transformation has proven to be a lifeline to many MSMEs during the pandemic, by reducing their costs, providing timely access to information, optimizing workflows, and expanding into new markets. Although e-commerce was already very popular in retail, the pandemic has sped up its adoption in the wholesale and manufacturing industries.
The research revealed that the survival rate of MSMEs is 7 percentage points higher in the regions with the highest e-commerce penetration than in those with the lowest. In addition, the economic downturn was less severe in regions with higher e-commerce penetration rates.
Andrew Zheng, Vice-President of Alibaba.com, said, "The pandemic has changed global trade forever. There is no denying that businesses and individuals have suffered tremendously. However, the creativity and ingenuity that MSMEs have put into action to overcome the many hurdles created by the pandemic are nothing short of impressive. E-commerce may have served as a survival mechanism throughout the pandemic, but moving forward, it will remain a valuable tool for global trade. Social selling, live commerce, virtual trade shows, and request for quotation (RFQ) marketplaces allow sellers to get creative in how they reach their audiences and make it easier for them to connect with their ideal clients. Through digitization, MSMEs can also easily access insights related to internet traffic, demand forecasting, and other key analytics that empower them to make better decisions for their businesses."

UPDATE 1-Rugby-Spain's disqualification from 2023 World Cup confirmed
Portugal replaces Romania in the Final Qualification Tournament in November 2022. The Spanish Rugby Federation's (FER) board of directors said in April that three members of Alcobendas Rugby Club falsified a copy of the passport belonging to Gavin van den Berg, who is of South African origin, in order to make him eligible to play.
Spain's appeal against their disqualification from next year's Rugby World Cup in France for fielding an ineligible player during the 2021-22 Rugby Europe Championship has been dismissed, the sport's Independent Appeal Committee announced on Monday.
"The Independent Appeal Committee reviewed the original decision of the Independent Judicial Committee based on the evidence that was before it," the Appeal Committee said in a statement. "Having considered detailed submissions from the Spanish Union and World Rugby, the Independent Appeal Committee dismissed the appeal."
The committee said that with respect to World Cup qualification, the 10-point deduction applied to the European qualification table by the Independent Judicial Committee stands, meaning Romania qualify as Europe 2 into Pool B replacing Spain. Portugal replaces Romania in the Final Qualification Tournament in November 2022.
The Spanish Rugby Federation's (FER) board of directors said in April that three members of Alcobendas Rugby Club falsified a copy of the passport belonging to Gavin van den Berg, who is of South African origin, in order to make him eligible to play. Spain secured a World Cup berth for the first time since 1999 after finishing second in the Rugby Europe Championship (REP) but were disqualified from next year's tournament for fielding Van den Berg in two matches in the qualifiers.
World Rugby, the sport's governing body, launched an investigation after a complaint about Van den Berg's eligibility was filed by Romania, who had missed out on automatic qualification after finishing just behind Spain. FER vice president Jose Maria Epalza said Romania had handed World Rugby a photograph of Van den Berg at a wedding in South Africa in 2019 two weeks before he had supposedly left for Spain, according to the date in the copy of the player's passport supplied to the federation.
In order to be eligible, Van den Berg would have needed to spend 36 months residing in Spain, including at least 10 months in each year. Van den Berg, however, had spent more than two months out of Spain in 2019. He has not commented on the allegations but an independent judicial committee said his travel stamps had been tampered with without the knowledge of Spain or the player.
In accordance with World Rugby regulations, the decision of the Independent Appeal Committee is final, with no further right to appeal.

15-month-old child dies at hospital after testing positive for fentanyl, police say
ATHENS, Ga. - Athens-Clarke County police are investigating how a 15-month-old child died at a Georgia hospital with fentanyl, opiates and benzodiazepines in their system.
An official statement from the police department said Athens police received a call from Children’s Hospital of Georgia in Augusta.
Hospital officials reported to police the child was receiving treatment and tested positive for multiple drugs.
The hospital later reported to police the child died.
FATHER OF PAULDING COUNTY CHILDREN, WHOSE MOTHER ACCUSED OF MURDERING THEM, ASKS FOR HELP
Benzodiazepines, sometimes called "benzos," are sometimes used to treat anxiety. The National Institutes of Drug Abuse says research indicates drug abusers are taking benzodiazepines in combination with opioids knowingly or unknowingly. Fentanyl is a powerful sedative that drug dealers mix the cheaper fentanyl with other drugs.
It isn't immediately clear why Athens police are investigating the death in Augusta. Police ask anyone with information to contact detectives at 762-400-7103 or jason.cook@accgov.com. | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/15-month-old-dies-at-hospital-after-testing-positive-for-fentanyl-police-say | 2022-06-27T15:05:24Z | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/15-month-old-dies-at-hospital-after-testing-positive-for-fentanyl-police-say | false | 1 |

Supreme Court rules that high school football coach DID have a constitutional right to pray at the 50-yard line after his team's games - and was wrongly punished for it
- The case pits First Amendment rights to free speech against the separation of church and state
- The high court's ruling could pave the way for fewer restrictions on religious liberty in schools
- In a 6-3 ruling the court sided with former coach Joseph Kennedy, who was put on leave for refusing to stop his prayers at the 50-yard-line
- The school had argued that they did not want students to feel pressured to join Joseph Kennedy in prayer
- Kennedy's lawyers argued that their client had only been offering silent, solitary prayers
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of a former Washington high school football coach who ho was put on leave for praying at the 50-yard line after his team's games.
In a 6-3 ruling the high court sided with former coach Joseph Kennedy, who was put on leave when the school said that his prayers violated separation church and state.
Kennedy, a Marine, said the Bremerton School District infringed on his religious freedom by refusing to let him continue praying at the midfield after games following an incident where students joined him in the prayer in September 2015.
The district claimed to have received a slew of complaints and threats following news of Kennedy's prayers for allegedly influencing students to join him.
SCOTUS, which had first declined to hear Kennedy's case in 2019, ruled Monday that his prayers were protected under First Amendment rights to free speech.
The decision is the latest in a line of Supreme Court rulings for religious plaintiffs. In another recent example, the court ruled that Maine can't exclude religious schools from a program that offers tuition aid for private education, a decision that could ease religious organizations´ access to taxpayer money.
Former Bremerton High School football coach Joseph Kennedy (pictured in March), a Marine, said the district infringed on his religious freedom by refusing to let him continue praying at the 50-yard line after games. The Supreme Court will hear his case on Monday
Kennedy said he would happily return to the district to coach again if he wins the case
Kennedy, pictured with students after the 2015 game, said he never forced students to join him. At least one player spoke out anonymously to say he felt pressured to play
The case pitted First Amendment rights to free speech against the separation of church and state.
At issue was whether a public school employee praying alone but in the public view of students represented unprotected 'government speech' and if not then does it violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from making any law 'respecting the establishment of a religion.'
The Supreme Court ruled 'no' on both ends.
'The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,' Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority.
'A government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment.
'And the only meaningful justification the government offered for its reprisal rested on a mistaken view that it had a duty to ferret out and suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination.'
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a member of the court's liberal bloc, wrote a dissent Monday claiming that the coach decision 'sets us further down a perilous path in forcing states to entangle themselves with religion.'
She was joined in her dissent by Justice Stephen Breyer and Justice Elena Kagan.
The conservative justices' ruling comes as no surprise given that after a lower court ruled against Kennedy they issued a public statement on the preliminary ruling.
While the school had argued that they did not want students to feel pressured to join Joseph Kennedy in prayer, Kennedy's lawyers argued that their client had only been offering silent, solitary prayers of thanks after his team's games.
Kennedy, a Marine and Washington state assistant high school football coach, said the Bremerton School District infringed on his religious freedom by refusing to let him continue praying at the midfield after games following an incident where students joined him in the prayer in September 2015.
Lawyers for the district said Kennedy was allowed to pray by himself, but following three more instances of the coach praying with students on the field and in locker rooms, he was placed on administrative leave and his contract was dropped in 2016, the New York Times reported.
The district added that it had received a slew of complaints and threats following news of Kennedy's prayers for allegedly influencing students to join him.
Richard B. Katskee, a lawyer for the Bremerton School District, said that school was entitled to ask employees to refrain from public prayer if students felt pressured into joining. But some of the court's conservative justices poked holes in this argument.
They said that the school initially argued that they needed to stop Kennedy from praying because the school would be perceived as endorsing religion. They suggested that fear of coercion was a rationalization made after the fact. '
Despite the school district's order, Kennedy was pictured in October 2015 praying while surrounded by students. His attorney's claim that stopping him from prayer violates his freedom of religion while the district contends that letting him lead prayers is a violation of the student's own freedom of religion
The school district said Kennedy was not allowed to lead prayers with students on the field after they joined him in 2015 (pictured). After repeated instances, the district opted to drop his contract in 2016, with Kennedy choosing not to apply again
'It's not audible to all players,' said Justice Brett Kavanaugh. 'They're not all there. They don't have to be there. It's not a team event. ... You're relying on it being visible, and then the question is, how far does that go? The coach does the sign of the cross right before the game. Could a school fire the coach for the sign of the cross?'
Katskee, of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said that such a display would be 'perfect fine,' so long as the coach wasn't addressing the team or making himself the center of attention.
'I don't know how we could write an opinion that would draw a line based on not making yourself the center of attention as the head coach of a game,' Kavanaugh said.
But liberal justice Elena Kagan implied that the school could be worried that students could feel pressure to take part in prayer to win the coach's favor.
Kagan said the school could have thought: 'We're worried that the students will feel he gets to put me into a football game, or not. He gets to give me an A in math class, or not. And this is a kind of coercion that's improper for 16-year-olds,' Kagan said.
Kennedy contended that praying at the 50-yard is his own personal ritual, which he has done since 2008, and that he has never asked any students to join him.
After a few games, some of the players asked him what he was doing and he told them he was 'thanking God for you guys' before a couple of players, who said they were Christian, asked if they could join.
'It was never any kind of thing where it was a mandatory thing,' he told the Times.
Although Kennedy claims no one has ever felt pressured to join him, one student player had come forward anonymously to say he joined in one of the prayers despite his own beliefs due to fear of losing play time.
When the school district learned of Kennedy's practice in 2015, it told him he needed to stop praying with students or engaging in overtly religious activity while on duty as a coach. He continued to pray on the field, though his lawyers say he stopped leading students in doing so, and was placed on paid leave.
His contract expired and he didn't reapply to coach the following year, the school says. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10957481/Supreme-Court-backs-high-school-football-coach-placed-leave-praying-games.html | 2022-06-27T15:15:40Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10957481/Supreme-Court-backs-high-school-football-coach-placed-leave-praying-games.html | true | 1 |

My Stack is Bigger than Your Stack, So What?
Martech stacks must be judged by effectiveness, not size.
How big should a martech stack be? The answer is, as big as it needs to be, which I know isn’t a helpful answer. On our platform we have almost 1,000 stacks under management, ranging from 10 products to more than 250. Our own stack has 43 and we are a small company with a limited marketing budget.
It’s virtually impossible to benchmark stacks from a size perspective due to a lack of consistency regarding:
- The categories to be included – Only marketing tech or marketing tech + sales tech + adtech (some consider ad tech entirely separate from martech) + service tech + data sources? Note: we see data sources showing up more and more in tech stacks.
- The types of products included – Generally it’s purchased products, internally developed ones and those acquired and managed by agencies on the company’s behalf. But what about free products? Our data shows most companies don’t bother tracking them because it’s seen as too difficult or unimportant because it doesn’t impact the budget. This is a mistake. Some free products are critically important gems that are important to know about.
- How comprehensive it is – Some companies choose to look only at their critical foundational platforms. We, on the other hand, catalog every single piece of technology we use.
- The scope – Some companies have one comprehensive source of truth (aka stack), while others manage technology at a department, business unit or geographical perspective and manage multiple stacks. We’ve even seen companies building stacks for specific marketing objectives e.g., lead acquisition, engagement etc.
Read next: Here’s how startups and small companies should build their marketing stacks
In building your stack, don’t focus on trying to find a guide to tell you how big your stack should be. Instead work from the ground up:
- Establish your foundational technology infrastructure. For most companies this includes:
- A way to create campaign materials,
- A system to be your source-of-truth for data,
- A way to manage prospect and customer relationships,
- A means to acquire and nurture leads and engage customers,
- One or more systems to support collaboration,
- Tools to analyze and assess results.
- Tools to manage assets, budgets and technology, and a platform to facilitate online sales if needed.
You may not need discrete tools for each function, depending on your environment your marketing automation platform may also function as your CRM and email platform.
- Consider things beyond core functionality:
- Suitability for the size and skills of your team. If you choose a product that is too complex than your team can handle, it will never be fully utilized and you will not get enough of a return on your investment.
- How well everything works together. Can critical data get where it needs to go? Find out if your products can easily integrate before you buy them. Otherwise you will have to develop custom integration code (depending on the system it could be a six-figure cost).
- Scalability. You should be able to use your foundational elements for 3-5 years. That means they must be able to grow with the company. It’s a huge task to swap systems out, taking from six to 18 months to do.
- Cost. It’s important to understand on a product-by-product basis and at the stack level how your purchases factor in and impact customer acquisition costs (CAC).
- What do you need to achieve your objectives? With more than 9,000 martech products on the market, how do you sort through them? Your marketing goals will focus your efforts in the right place. Also, it’s critically important to consider whether the technology you already have can handle your expected future needs. One of the key contributors to stack bloat is redundant functionality within the stack. This is caused by looking at each set of technology requirements on its own and not considering the stack as a whole.
Remember, the need to create new campaigns, leverage new channels, improve targeting, etc., means you are going to add more technology to your stack. That’s okay, as long as you keep the CAC impact in mind.
Is smaller better?
There’s an idea going around that we should all make our stacks smaller via consolidation. The argument is that a smaller stack will be easier to manage and less costly – but will it? Replacing five products with one product doesn’t guarantee easier stack management and lower costs. A new product could add a new level of complexity and require a long implementation and onboarding period and extensive training. It could also cost significantly more than the products that are being replaced.
Consolidation is a favorite theme of vendors with large multi-function systems that want you to use their product over everything else. There are times when this makes sense, particularly when integrations are involved, but there are plenty of times when it doesn’t. As yet there is no single platform that can deliver the functionality needed across the stack so don’t waste any time thinking about that.
Consolidation can be needed when a stack gets out of control due to lack of centralized oversight and purchasing. Then bloat becomes obvious through skyrocketing expenses without the ability to demonstrate return on investment. We’ve worked through this process with a number of customers and in every situation it’s because of redundant contracts, products and functionality. If you have processes in place to prevent this, your only risk of bloat is keeping products that didn’t live up to expectations or no longer serve your marketing objectives. This is easily avoided by establishing performance benchmarks and conducting regular stack reviews.
If we can’t define the optimum size of a tech stack then we certainly can’t look at a stack and say “that needs to be consolidated.” Stop worrying about stack size, the perfect size for your stack is one that ensures you meet your marketing objectives in a cost-effective way.

Microcatheter Market is Projected to Expand at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2018 to 2026
Microcatheter Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, USA, June 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Transparency Market Research (TMR) has published a new report titled, “Microcatheter Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026”. According to the report, the global microcatheter market was valued at US$ 162.3 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to reach nearly US$ 304.5 Mn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of around 7.5% from 2018 to 2026. Rise in adoption of minimally invasive procedures, technological advancements, increase in target patient population are likely to fuel the global microcatheter market from 2018 to 2026. Improved hospital infrastructure in developed markets such as North America and Europe, rise in medical tourism in Asia Pacific, and advantages of minimally invasive procedures are expected to drive the microcatheter market during the forecast period.
Rise in Adoption of Minimally Invasive Surgeries to Propel Market
Embolization is a minimally invasive surgery that marks a significant advancement in medical technology. Embolization procedures are used in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms and peripheral vascular diseases. Adoption of minimally invasive surgeries has been increasing significantly due to various advantages including less post-operative pain, less blood loss, reduced hospital stay, and faster recovery. This is likely to propel the microcatheters market during the forecast period.

Increase in target patient population and Technological Advancements
Increase in the geriatric population, which is prone to neurovascular and cardiovascular diseases, is projected to drive the microcatheter market. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, nearly 30,000 people in the U.S. suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year.
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases account for around 17.3 million deaths each year, which is expected to increase to about 23.6 million by 2030. Technological advancements such as introduction of double coaxial guiding catheter technique, which is employed to treat chronic total occlusion (CTO) is driving the market. This technique places one guide catheter inside another. The advantages of passive support provided by a large guide catheter are combined with the ability to actively engage the smaller catheter into the target vessel. These developments are likely to add value to microcatheters and drive the global microcatheter market

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African police are investigating the deaths of at least 20 people at a nightclub in the coastal town of East London early Sunday.
It is unclear what led to the deaths of the young people, who were reportedly attending a party to celebrate the end of winter school exams.
Local newspaper Daily Dispatch reported that bodies were strewn across tables and chairs without any visible signs of injuries.
“At this point we cannot confirm the cause of death,” said health department spokesperson Siyanda Manana.
“We are going to conduct autopsies as soon as possible to establish the probable cause of death. The deceased have been taken to state mortuaries,” Manana added.
Police Minister Bheki Cele was on Sunday morning expected to visit the scene.
The owner of the club, Siyakhangela Ndevu, told local broadcaster eNCA that he had been called to the scene early Sunday morning.
“I am still uncertain about what really happened, but when I was called in the morning I was told the place was too full and that some people were trying to force their way into the tavern,” he said.
“However, we will hear what the police say about the cause of death,” Ndevu added. | https://www.informnny.com/news/at-least-20-dead-in-south-african-club-cause-not-yet-known/ | 2022-06-27T15:19:59Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/at-least-20-dead-in-south-african-club-cause-not-yet-known/ | false | 48 |
Robert Garcia has suggested Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol should have a rematch at super middleweight.
Garcia, in an interview with Fight Hub TV, said:
“I think Canelo will probably stay at 168 for a while. I think Bivol says he wants to get down to 168, so maybe do it at 168.”
Watch the full interview here:
Dmitry Bivol has said that he is willing to take the rematch at super middleweight, and that he would even relish facing Canelo in the lower weight class.
Canelo Alvarez is the Undisputed Champion at super middleweight, holding the WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF World Championships. Bivol has said that it is his dream to become undisputed.
Bivol made his professional debut in 2014, and has never fought below light heavyweight. It would be difficult for the Russian to go down to a weight that he has never fought at before. However, if both boxers are willing to entertain the bout, it remains a possibility.
Canelo Alvarez must first defeat Gennadiy Golovkin. The Mexican will defend his Super Middleweight Championships against his long-term rival on September 17.
If Canelo does come out on top, his promoter Eddie Hearn has said that he will fight Bivol next. The weight class of a potential bout has not been confirmed.
Robert Garcia believes other factors may have influenced Canelo Alvarez’s defeat to Dmitry Bivol
In the same interview, Robert Garcia alluded to something potentially happening during Canelo's training camp.
Garcia said:
“Bivol clearly won, there is no doubt that he won, but there is so many things that happen in boxing when it comes to training camps. A lot of fighters get injured during training camps and still fight like that. A lot of fighters get sick before the fight and maybe because its Canelo and he is pound for pound the best in the world, he is unstoppable and he is unbeatable people think that he is not human and he can't get sick or can't get injured or have personal problems that will affect him in the fight. I did not see the Canelo we are used to seeing.”
Before the bout, Garcia predicted that Canelo would win by KO. Garcia was not the only one, as Canelo entered the bout as a betting favorite. Canelo himself has not revealed that anything went wrong with his camp or that he entered the bout with any issues.
The fight did not end up like most predicted. Bivol took control of the fight and won via unanimous decision.

Russia appears to have defaulted on its international debt for the first time in over a century, after Western sanctions made the country's efforts to pay its overseas creditors impossible.
Here's what happened
Like any country, Russia sold bonds to investors abroad and at home to support its economy, promising to pay interest in euros and dollars. But after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the United States and Europe pushed to weaken the Russian war chest, freezing the country's access to foreign currency assets held overseas.
This put Russia on default watch as early as the spring. But Moscow kept paying its debts from currency reserves at home. In May, however, the U.S. Treasury blocked even those transfers to American investors.
With that, two Russian interest payments — worth about $100 million combined — got stuck after Russia transferred them out of its coffers in May. On Sunday night, the clock ran out on a grace period for these payments, and several reports say bondholders have not received this money, meaning a default.
However, an official declaration of default is unlikely. Major credit ratings agencies, which might typically declare, face sanctions barring them from Russian business. And investors themselves may prefer to stay out of the limelight as they sort out how they might get at least part of their money back.
Russia rejects this as artificially made by Western sanctions
The Kremlin on Monday called any default label unlawful, because the country does have the money and has been trying to pay. The latest workaround attempt involved Russia transferring rubles through its unsanctioned banks and inviting creditors to convert the money into euros or dollars.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has said for weeks that any default declaration would be artificial and manufactured by the West, because Russia had made the payment transfers before they were due, and it was up to the bondholders to claim their money.
Politically, any default chaos would play into President Vladimir Putin's frequent argument at home: that Western sanctions are less about his actions in Ukraine and more about inflicting misery on the Russian people by any means necessary.
The U.S. and Europe, for their part, argue Russia fully controls its financial fate by refusing to stop its war in Ukraine.
In practical terms, little impact is expected immediately
Russia last defaulted on its international debt in 1918, following the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1998, Russia defaulted on ruble-denominated bonds, which roiled global markets on edge from the Asian financial crisis.
But now, Russia already faces most punishments that might befall an economy in default. Marquee businesses like McDonald's, Starbucks and Nike have left. Its financial system is increasingly isolated. The ratings agencies have already downgraded it.
Still, Russia continues to rake in money for its oil and gas exports. And it has managed to artificially prop up the ruble to the strongest level in seven years. Some creditors, whose bonds face a default, might eventually sue Russia to get their money, but that process would be quite messy and would likely take years.
Will the default chip away at Russia's standing with still-friendly countries? Will Russia be able to borrow on the international market going forward? Will it need to, given its energy revenues? Or will sanctions eventually deplete its coffers and push its economy to unravel?
These are some of the long-term questions, as investors decide whether they see default as Russia being cornered or further burning its own bridges with the world.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has told fans at a concert that he intends to renounce his United States citizenship following the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade -- a controversial move that eliminates the federal constitutional right to abortion nationwide.
During a performance as part of the band's Hella Mega tour at the London Stadium in the UK on Friday, Armstrong expressed his frustration as he told the crowd: "F**k America. I'm f***king renouncing my citizenship. I'm f**king coming here."
He went on to say there's "too much f**king stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f**king excuse for a country," before urging fans to be prepared, saying: "You're going to get a lot more of me in the coming days."
Armstrong is one of a number of American artists who have spoken out about the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the past few days. At Britain's Glastonbury Festival, several performers, including Phoebe Bridgers, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Olivia Rodrigo, made a point of condemning the decision.
Bridgers led a "F**k the Supreme Court" chant and criticized "irrelevant motherf**kers trying to tell us what to do with our f**king bodies," while teen star Olivia Rodrigo brought Lily Allen onto the stage and dedicated Allen's song "F**k You" to the five Supreme Court justices who voted in the majority opinion to overturn the landmark ruling that had protected abortion as a federal right in the US for almost 50 years.
Rodrigo described herself as "devastated and terrified" by the news before she told Glastonbury crowds that "so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this," and then dedicated the track to Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett -- who, Rodrigo said, "don't give a sh*t about freedom."
Lamar, who performed as one of the festival's final headliners on Sunday night, ended his powerful set with a plea for women's rights, chanting the words "Godspeed for women's rights, they judge you, they judge Christ," while wearing a crown of thorns soaked with fake blood.

Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has criticised the EU for trying to revive the Iran nuclear talks, Israeli media reported on Sunday. He accused the bloc of ignoring threats against Israeli citizens.
Politico reported Lapid as telling EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell that reviving the talks "is a strategic mistake that sends the wrong message to Iran," following the latter's surprise visit to Tehran. On Saturday, Borrell said that negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme would resume within days.
Prior to going to the Iranian capital, Borrell apparently sent a message to Lapid that his visit would be an "attempt to bring Iran back to the nuclear agreement negotiations, and to remove the last obstacles."
Iran: 'Talk of planned Istanbul attacks is Israel's conspiracy to ruin Turkiye relations'
Lapid slammed the EU and Borrell over the alleged "lack of care for the lives of Israeli citizens," a reference to the alleged Iranian threats against Israelis in Turkiye. Borrell claimed that he raised the issue of Iranian threats during his meeting with officials in Tehran.
The Politico report said that Lapid's criticism was generally viewed by Borrell's office as part of an ongoing Israeli effort to sabotage the negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme.
Iran and world powers, including the US, signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal in 2015. Under the administration of former President Donald Trump, however, the US withdrew unilaterally from the deal in 2018. | https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220627-israel-minister-criticises-eu-for-trying-to-revive-iran-nuclear-talks/ | 2022-06-27T15:29:20Z | https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220627-israel-minister-criticises-eu-for-trying-to-revive-iran-nuclear-talks/ | false | 1 |

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of directors at Haviland Enterprises Inc., a globally recognized manufacturer and distributor of specialty and commodity chemistry headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has appointed Meg Post as President and CEO, following her promotion to President in the fall of 2021. Effective July 1, Post will take over for Mike Karasiewicz, who announced his retirement after serving as Haviland's President and CEO since 2018.
Post joined Haviland in 2018 as Vice President of Finance and was named Chief Financial Officer in 2020 before she was named President the following year. Prior to joining Haviland, Post spent more than a decade at Adamy Valuation, where she provided financial and valuation advisory services to middle-market companies. Post is a graduate of Grand Valley State University.

"I'm very excited to step into this new role, and I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Haviland through its next phase of growth and transformation."
"Meg has been a critical part of the company's growth and success over the last several years," Karasiewicz said. "Her commitment to employee engagement and development, safety, and strategic alignment will drive growth and success for the company's employee-owners."
Karasiewicz joined Haviland's Board of Directors in 2014, then succeeded Bernie Haviland as President and CEO in 2018.
Throughout his time at Haviland, Karasiewicz led the company through a cultural and leadership transformation, restructuring the business and forming the company's Senior Leadership Team. He brought a focus on safety, customer service, and transparent communication to all levels of the business and his leadership also brought record levels of sales and profitability to the company.
As president and CEO, Post will also succeed Karasiewicz as a member of Haviland's Board of Directors. She will lead Haviland into its 90th year of operations and 10th anniversary of being a 100 percent employee-owned company.
"Leading an employee-owned company is an incredibly rewarding opportunity, and I'm excited to continue fostering our culture of employee engagement, transparency, and growth through operational excellence," Post said.

N95 Mask With Nanoparticle Coating Developed Using 3D Printing Technology
Researchers have developed a reusable, recyclable, washable, odourless, non-allergic and anti-microbial N95 mask by using 3D printing technology. The four-layer mask whose outer layer is made up of silicon has a shelf life of more than 5 years depending upon the use.
Apart from its well-known uses to prevent infections like COVID 19, the mask can also be used by workers in different industries where they are exposed to high volumes of dust like cement factory, brick kilns, cotton factories and pain industries. It can be modified according to the requirement by changing the filter configuration according to the place in which it will be used and can help prevent severe lung diseases such as SILICOSIS. A trademark and a patent have also been filed for the mask called Nano Breath.
A 4-layer filtration mechanism has been provided in the mask wherein the outer and first layer of the filter is coated with nanoparticles. The second layer is a high-efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) filter, third layer is 100 µm filter and fourth layer is moisture absorbent filter.
Dr. Atul Thakur, Dr. Preeti Thakur, Dr. Lucky Krishnia, and Prof. P. B. Sharma, Dinesh Kumar research scholar from Amity University Haryana (AUH) and Prof. Rakesh Srivastava from University of Nebraska, USA have jointly developed this product that has immense potential as a prophylactic.
A Zetasizer Nano ZS, a facility supported by ‘Fund for Improvement of Science & Technology Infrastructure’ (FIST) project of the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India which enables high temperature thermal analysis for ceramic materials and catalysis applications, has been used to carry out this work. It is a high performance, versatile system for measuring particle size, zeta potential, molecular weight, particle mobility and micro-rheology. | https://pragativadi.com/n95-mask-with-nanoparticle-coating-developed-using-3d-printing-technology/ | 2022-06-27T15:38:54Z | https://pragativadi.com/n95-mask-with-nanoparticle-coating-developed-using-3d-printing-technology/ | true | 4 |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowley has released its inaugural sustainability report to assess and establish a transparent reference point to measure progress toward its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals to build a more sustainable tomorrow. The report marks a key milestone in Crowley's ambition to become the most sustainable and innovative maritime and logistics company in the Americas.
The report builds on Crowley's recent announcement to achieve net-zero emissions using a science-based approach by 2050 and outlines the company's strategy and impacts in its ESG activities. Priority areas include: adopting low- to zero-carbon fuels and supporting new energy development; increasing talent diversity, growth and retention; and supporting people and communities.
"The needs of our planet and people are changing, and alongside our partners, we are working each day with customers to reduce the environmental footprint of their supply chain utilizing ocean transport, which continues to be the greenest way to transport goods," said Tom Crowley, chairman and CEO. "We are proud of our accomplishments and initiatives captured in this first report, which will serve as the baseline against which we will measure our evolution for years to come. Our commitments are deliberately ambitious, and we are establishing partnerships and standards to ensure success – matching our commitments with measurable action and year-over-year progress."
Highlights from the 2021 Sustainability Report, Bravely Advancing What's Possible, include:
- Rigorous short- and long-term efforts to decarbonize operations. Crowley aims to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions across the entire business by more than 3.7 million metric tons per year, pursuing a path aligned with the latest climate science to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
- Investment in liquified natural gas (LNG) as a reliable and lower-emissions alternative to traditional fuels. Crowley has safely delivered 40 million gallons of LNG to support cleaner, more resilient energy throughout Puerto Rico and has invested in infrastructure on the island to enhance LNG availability for customers in the region.
- Advancement of alternative power technology and vessels such as the fully electric, battery-powered tugboat eWolf — the first of its kind in the U.S. — and a public-private partnership to develop an offshore wind services terminal in Salem, Massachusetts.
- Developing strategies to support more resilient supply chains, such as through near-shoring and "blue water highways" that serve communities with sustainable and efficient transportation on water and land.
- Enhancing Crowley's commitment to diversity and equity in business through targets for 2030 to ensure 37% of suppliers are diverse and 27% of purchases come from small businesses.
- Activation of the employee-led Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in Action (IDEA) Council to drive a supportive and inclusive work environment.
- Nearly $200,000 donated by employees to local organizations through the Crowley Cares Foundation and more than 530 volunteer hours completed by team members in the first six months of the program.
- An endowment of $2.5 million to the University of North Florida for a new center of excellence that will grow a talent pipeline of leaders trained in transportation and logistics, including state-of-the-art data analytics and supply chain tools.
"We see tremendous opportunity to build a more sustainable maritime and logistics industry that makes not only the global supply chain, but also our world, more resilient," said Crowley's Alisa Praskovich, vice president of sustainability. "We have made progress over the last year to understand our impacts and set ambitious ESG goals, and are prepared to help lead our customers, and our industry, toward a lower-carbon future for all."
The report also includes information on Crowley's public and private ESG partnerships, digital transformation and focused community efforts in the Caribbean and Central America.

Why men should get tested for the BRCA gene
(CNN) - The BRCA genetic mutation puts people at risk for certain cancers.
Most people associate it with breast cancer, but the gene carries risks for both men and women.
At age 61, Steve Kalister’s father lost his battle to an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Because of his father’s battle, Kalister decided to get genetic testing done.
”I’ve long had concerns about what my risk might be,” he said. ”I’m 50 years old now and certainly want to be around for my family.”
His tests came back BRCA 2 positive.
Having that gene mutation increases his risk of certain cancers including prostate, pancreas and breast.
”Hereditary cancer can be inherited from your mom or your dad, whether you’re a male or a female. So, for example, if you’re a male who’s coming in to see me, you can inherit cancer risk from your mother,” Lindsey Byrne, a licensed genetic counselor at Ohio State University College of Medicine, said.
Byrne says it is important to know your family history on all sides.
If there is cancer in your family, she suggests talking to a doctor to see if genentic testing is right for you.
”It helps us to know who’s at higher risk and when to start screening,” Byrne said.
Since his results, Kalister has changed his lifestyle to limit his risks and makes sure he gets routine tests done yearly.
”It really is kind of a knowledge is power thing for me,” he said.

Supreme Court’s abortion ruling sets off new court fights
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The fall of Roe v. Wade shifted the battleground over abortion to courthouses around the country Monday, as abortion foes looked to quickly enact statewide bans and the other side sought to buy more time.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Friday to end constitutional protections for abortion opened the gates for a wave of litigation from all sides.
Many of the court cases will focus on “trigger laws,” adopted in 13 states in anticipation of the ruling and designed to take effect quickly. Lawsuits could also target old anti-abortion laws that went unenforced under Roe, and cases over abortion restrictions that were put on hold awaiting the Supreme Court ruling have also started to come back into play.
“We’ll be back in court tomorrow and the next day and the next day,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which argued the case that resulted in Supreme Court ruling, told reporters in a video call Friday.
On Monday, abortion rights advocates asked a Florida judge to block a new state law, which bans abortions after 15 weeks with some exceptions and is set to take effect this week. Attorneys hoping to stave off a ban on abortion in Louisiana filed a lawsuit arguing state laws are unclear on when a ban can take effect and what constitutes an exception.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and an abortion-rights group filed an emergency motion Saturday seeking to block a 2021 law that they worry can be used to halt all abortions. The Planned Parenthood Association of Utah has already challenged a trigger law with narrow exceptions.
Brigitte Amiri, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Reproductive Freedom Project, said the organization is looking at “all options” to protect access to abortion. As of Saturday, abortion services had stopped in at least 11 states — either because of state laws or confusion over them.
But in some cases, the lawsuits may only be a play for time. Even if courts block some abortion bans or restrictions from taking hold, lawmakers in many conservative state could move quickly to address any flaws cited.
That’s likely to be the case in Louisiana. The state’s Republican attorney general, Jeff Landry, took to Twitter on Friday to say bans with “trigger” provisions passed in anticipation of the ruling were immediately in effect. The only three clinics providing abortions in the state closed that day.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed Monday in state court in New Orleans — including one of those clinics — don’t deny that Louisiana can now ban abortion. Instead, they contend current laws are confusing and unconstitutionally vague, according to the legal brief.
Days before Friday’s Supreme Court decision, Gov. John Bel Edwards, an anti-abortion Democrat, signed a measure into law that supporters said would clarify and eliminate any conflicts in anti-abortion laws already in state statutes. The sweeping bill includes prison terms of up to 10 years for any doctor who performs an abortion.
Like other anti-abortion statutes already on the books, it contained trigger language saying it would take effect if Roe was overturned. The lawsuit argued that left multiple, conflicting trigger mechanisms in state law.
Attorneys behind the lawsuit also alleged state law was still unclear on whether it banned an abortion prior to a fertilized egg implanting in the uterus. And while the new law provided an exception for “medically futile” pregnancies — in cases of fetuses with fatal abnormalities — the plaintiffs noted the law gave no definition for the term, leaving it up to the state health department to develop.
That makes it impossible for doctors to know what is and is not prohibited under the law, Joanna Wright, one of the attorneys filing the Louisiana suit, said.
Challenges to other trigger laws could be made on the grounds that the conditions to impose the bans have not been met, or that it was improper for a past legislature to bind the current one to a new law. Laura Herner, a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, said trigger bans or restrictions could also be challenged using equal protection arguments.
She said other challenges might call into question whether laws sufficiently and clearly allow for exceptions to protect the life or health of a pregnant woman.
Newly written bans, too, will likely face challenges. Instead of relying on a constitutional protection at the federal level, abortion rights supporters will make the case that state constitutions guarantee the right to abortion.
A judge heard arguments on that issue Monday in Florida, where attorneys sought an emergency injunction to stop a new law from taking effect Friday. The ban beyond 15 weeks has exceptions to save the pregnant woman’s life or prevent physical harm or in cases where the fetus has a fatal abnormality. The ACLU of Florida has argued it violates the state’s constitution.
Still other cases could be filed as states try to sort out whether abortion bans in place before Roe was decided — sometimes referred to as “zombie laws” — apply now that there is no federal protection for abortion.
For instance, Wisconsin passed a law in 1849 banning abortions except to save the life of the mother. Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, said he does not believe it’s enforceable. Pro-Life Wisconsin and other abortion opponents have called on lawmakers to impose a new ban.
In the meantime, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said it immediately suspended all abortions, though the district attorneys in the counties that include Madison and Milwaukee have both suggested that they would not enforce the ban.
In Michigan, Planned Parenthood was proactive, challenging a 1931 abortion ban ahead of the Supreme Court ruling. In May, a judge said the ban could not be enforced because it violates the state’s constitution. Abortion rights supporters are now trying to get a proposed state constitutional amendment on the ballot in November to spell out that people can make their own decisions about abortion and birth control.
Advocates and experts also expect to see court fights over state efforts to pursue legal action against people who cross state lines to seek abortions — or to protect people from such action.
Idaho, Oklahoma and Texas have adopted laws that allow people to seek bounties against those who help others get abortions. There’s a question over whether that means people can be pursued across state lines — and some states acted to prevent that.
For instance, the California Legislature, controlled by Democrats, passed a bill Thursday to shield abortion providers and volunteers in the state from civil judgments imposed by other states. In liberal Massachusetts, Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, signed an executive order on Friday that prohibits state agencies from assisting other states’ investigations into anyone who receives or delivers reproductive health services that are legal in Massachusetts.
“It’s going to be very confusing and have a lot of moving parts and the patients are really going to be the ones who bear the brunt of this. There’s going to be a lot of confusion about where people can access abortion,” said Amiri, of the ACLU.

Supreme Court rules for inmates seeking reduced prison terms
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court made it easier Monday for certain prison inmates to seek shorter sentences under a bipartisan 2018 federal law aimed at reducing racial disparities in prison terms for cocaine crimes.
The justices ruled 5-4 that trial judges who are asked to resentence inmates may look at a wide range of factors, including some that have nothing to do with crack cocaine offenses that had produced longer stints in prison, disproportionately for people of color.
The high court settled a disagreement among the nation’s appellate courts over what judges should do in these cases.
The case before the justices involved Carlos Concepcion, who is serving a 19-year sentence after he pleaded guilty to possessing at least five grams of crack cocaine with an intent to distribute.
But the length of Concepcion’s prison term really was determined by previous state court convictions that made him a career offender under federal law.
In 2019, Concepcion asked for a reduced sentence under the First Step Act that President Donald Trump signed into law a year earlier. Concepcion argued that the law made him eligible for a shorter term, but he also pointed to his earlier convictions, one of which had been thrown out and others of which were no longer considered violent crimes under intervening Supreme Court decisions.
Still, the judge refused to consider changes to his sentence.
“The District Court in this case declined to consider petitioner Carlos Concepcion’s arguments that intervening changes of law and fact supported his motion, erroneously believing that it did not have the discretion to do so,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her opinion for the court.
An unusual group of justices joined her, Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch.

Oxfordshire council looking for turtle pool owner after fly-tip
- Published
A council wants to hear from the former owner of a distinctive turtle paddling pool which was found fly-tipped.
Cherwell District Council thinks they could lead them to the offender who chucked waste in Green Lane, Yarnton, that was reported on 18 June.
Councillor Dan Sames, member for cleaner and green communities, said enough waste was dumped to "fill a Transit van".
Artificial grass, wooden pallets, polystyrene and doors were also left.
"The person who commissioned this clearance work, or a neighbour who recognises this very distinctive paddling pool, could help us identify where the waste has come from," Mr Sames said.
"This is a significant fly-tip, with enough waste to fill a Transit van having been irresponsibly left to despoil a country lane.
"We would also appeal to anyone who may have seen a large tipper truck acting suspiciously in the area."

Activating in the Decentraland Metaverse World, the International Superstar's Music Video for the Track "Slidin'" will be Re-Created for Fans to Experience, and Make It Their Own
-The artist, now the biggest global music icon crossing into the Decentraland Metaverse, has 52.2 million followers and 1.2 billion views on the social media platform TikTok.
-Jason Derulo's activation, going live June 29th in Decentraland (Decentraland.org), shows another success in a series of many Metaverse experiences representing TerraZero and Atlantic Records' ongoing collaboration.
-In a rare occurrence, Jason Derulo will assume his own avatar, created by TerraZero, and traverse the Metaverse–interacting with fans in the experience and across Decentraland.
-TerraZero will give one lucky user and their friends an exclusive pool party at Metaverse digital twin recreation of the mansion and pool scene from the artist's latest music video.
VANCOUVER, BC, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - TerraZero Technologies Inc. ("TerraZero" or the "Company"), a Metaverse technologies firm and interactive experience development studio, has partnered with Atlantic Records and Jason Derulo for a new kind of immersive activation in the Decentraland Metaverse.
An amazing array of brands enter the Metaverse. Even though the creative opportunities are limitless, few truly engage with their audiences in a way that transcends a simple marketing campaign. Many celebrities do the same–with few artists and public figures engaging with their fans in the digital space with zero barriers.
That's why Jason Derulo is the perfect superstar to enter the Metaverse with TerraZero Technologies. With over 52.2 million followers and over 1.2 billion views on TikTok alone, Jason Derulo is one of the most innovative A+ artists on the planet–and now, the Metaverse.
Recently, TerraZero Technologies, Inc., a Metaverse and technologies firm and interactive experience development studio, partnered with Atlantic Records to expand the label's horizon of activations across multiple Metaverse worlds. To make a big splash, Atlantic and TerraZero collaborated with Jason Derulo on a series of unique activations in the Metaverse.
The moment of truth: recreate Jason Derulo's music video for "Slidin'" in Decentraland as an experience built by TerraZero, premier the video, give fans a chance to stylize the environment themselves, and give away an exclusive Metaverse pool party, hosted by TerraZero, at the Metaverse mansion from the music video to one lucky fan and their friends.
The event and music video premiere in the Metaverse go live in Decentraland (decentraland.org) on Wednesday, June 29th.
"I would've given anything for this kind of connection with my idols growing up," Jason Derulo says. "The Metaverse, and how people can come together to experience something special… This is definitely the future of the Internet–the way TerraZero is doing it and what we made together. I've always been a gamer at heart, which has always found its way into how I've written my music, and cultivated my career. Being an avatar in the Metaverse and connecting with people directly is a new way to show who I am beyond the screen and speakers. It's super real in a very unreal way."
A very unique part of this activation is the approach from Jason, himself–who will be attending the premier himself, as his own avatar, created by TerraZero. Jason's avatar will also be popping up in locations around the Decentraland Metaverse leading up to the premier, which will be captured by TerraZero in a new kind of experiential content creation dubbed, "limitless worlds".
The concept, spearheaded by TerraZero's Chief Metaverse Officer Ryan Kieffer and Chief Experience Officer Brandon F. Johnson, presents new kinds of interactions and stories which merge figures like Jason Derulo from the real world with infinitely open-ended stories and moments that would never be possible, let alone interactive and social, in any other way, in any other medium.
Dan Reitzik, CEO of TerraZero Technologies, sees this kind of activation as only the beginning of what artists like Jason Derulo can do as multi-faceted entertainers, "Jason is fantastically talented, and an amazing artist to work with–but when he goes on tour, Jason can only perform to the crowd that's before him. In the Metaverse, we want to bring a global crowd to artists like Jason Derulo. Why play to just 20,000 people in an arena when you can play to 20,000,000 in the Metaverse?"
Jason Derulo fans and Metaverse users everywhere are invited to enter the TerraZero giveaway at https://terrazero.com/slidin/

An exclusive look at Chris Froome’s Tour de France setup
From his Factor frame to the Hammerhead cycling computer, ride like a pro with this kit
It’s nearly July, which can only mean one thing: Tour de France fever has returned. This year the storied bike race starts in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, before returning to its homeland for the normal mix of mountainous alpine stages, thrilling time trails and, of course, its scenic finish at the Arc de Triomphe.
Hopefully we’ll see the fans return in full force this year, with the route lined by flags of different nations and supporters cheering on their favourite members of the pro peloton. Will Pogačar wear the yellow jersey once more? Will Roglič stay on his bike? Will anyone that’s not Slovenian get a look in?
One team that will certainly be hoping for a changing of the guard is Israel-Premier Tech (IPT), which is home to seven-time Grand Tour winner Chris Froome. The four-time champion is confirmed to race again this year, and his optimism is fuelled in part by the tech he’ll be riding with. “Going into such an important race as the Tour de France, especially with all eyes on you, means it’s crucial to have tech with me that I can trust,” Froome tells us.
If you’re the sort to fantasise about riding a stage with the greats, then you’ll no doubt be interested in what kit the pros are pedalling during this year’s race. Because the only difference between you and a yellow jersey is a spending spree – right?
We like your optimism. Handily, the guys over at Israel-Premier Tech have been kind enough to give us an insight into their gear, so you know exactly what’s powering their amazing efforts. Read on for all the details about this top team’s kit, as ridden by some of the best cyclists in the world.

Cycling computer
Hammerhead karoo 2: £359, Hammerhead.io
We don’t want to ring our own cowbell, but here at IndyBest, we previously named the karoo 2 our favourite cycling computer for tech lovers (we called it perfect for “data geeks”), so it’s no surprise to us that it’s the IPT’s favoured gadget. It can generate routes to follow and collects every kind of data point you can think of.
“The biggest advantage of the Karoo 2 is the clarity of the maps,” says Froome, “It’s never going to be possible to do a recon ride of every stage, but at the same time it’s crucial to know what you have in store. Every detail matters when it comes to a race like the Tour de France, so this is when the relationship between our different technology partners is really important.”
The pro cycling team has been working with Hammerhead to develop features such as “climber”, which detects inclines along your route and delivers metrics about them to your screen. “Being to see the elevation up ahead helps me stay ahead of my competition,” says Froome. The brand will also be using all the data generated by the IPT team during the Tour de France to create software updates for karoo-owning mortals. Très bien.
Bike
Factor ostro vam: From £5,200, Factorbikes.com
There’s no bigger challenge for pro cyclists than the Tour de France – and no bigger challenge for bike makers. A team’s chosen steed has to be able to tackle it all, from sprints to climbs, in a supremely lightweight package that will still provide a modicum of comfort for riders during a 5-hour stage. Enter the Factor ostro, a purebred racer with the kind of aggressive geometry perfect for the TDF. The frame weighs just 780g. That’s – according to the scientific research we’ve just done – about the same as a third-drunk bottle of Pimms. Overkill for the commute? Nahhhh – any opportunity to train.
Wheels
Black Inc five: £3,150, Blackinc.cc
Sure this set of wheels costs more than your average bike, but don’t forget, this is the top tier. Black Inc’s top-spec carbon wheels for stage racing are the fives, which clock in at 1.318kg and have been created with aerodynamics, handling and speed in mind. Traditional spokes? Who needs ‘em. They’re also tubeless compatible, optimised for 25-28mm tires and feature long-life bearings for exceptional durability. You’ll go far on these.
Groupset
Shimano dura ace Di2: £2,150, Shimano.com
There’s only one choice when it comes to groupsets: Japanese brand Shimano’s top-of-the-range dura ace Di2 will be accompanying Dowsett and Froome throughout their 2022 Tour de France. This first 12-speed groupset by the brand is also semi wireless and electric only – there’s no mechanical option, cause we’re in the future baby! If nothing but the smoothest ride will do for your Sunday club run, you can’t get better than this (although you may literally not be able to get this, due to supply issues plaguing the bike industry: you’ll have to buy parts of the groupset as they come into stock, or one already attached to a top-end bike frame).
Saddle
Selle Italia saddles: From £94.40, Selleitalia.com
When it comes to cycling, there’s not much that the Italians don’t do best. That even applies to supporting your nethers. The IPT team are keen Selle Italia fans, with their award-winning glutes perching on these fine pillows of leather designed specifically for long days of pedalling. Here at IndyBest, we also love the brand – we’ll tell anyone who will listen about how our sit bones were saved by Selle Italia.
Cranks/power meter
Rotor cranks: From £649, Rotorbike.com
Sure, you’re all hooked up to a heart rate monitor, and you’ve got your GPS data from thousands of rides available to peruse on your Strava. But if you love crunching numbers, then nothing gives more insight than a power meter. The IPT team boast Rotor cranks on their steeds, which enable them to judge how much effort they’re expending, and whether they’ve got enough left in the tank to get to the sprint finish. It’s tech that’s essential in the top echelons of the sport.
Handlebars
Black Inc integrated barstem: £490, Blackinc.cc
An integrated unit purports to provide huge aerodynamic advantages in the peloton when compared to traditional stem and bar setups. Again, IPT has turned to Black Inc for its components, with the brand’s bars coming in custom sizes to offer each rider the perfect cockpit for their style of riding. Clocking in at only 320g of carbon fibre, this is top-of-the-range stuff.
Tyres
Maxxis high road: £29.99, Cycleking.co.uk
Not got a spare couple of grand lying around for any of the above? Well you can still roll like the pros for an altogether more reasonable outlay with these high road tyres from Maxxis. They’re made from the brand’s hypr compound, which decreases rolling resistance and increases traction in wet conditions according to them. And for convenience when you’re not climbing Ventoux, they’ve got folding beads, making them easy to store.

Sanctions cause Russia to default on foreign debt
updated
Russia is understood to have defaulted on its foreign debt for the first time since 1917 after it was frozen out of the international financial system for invading Ukraine.
Bondholders did not receive payments after Russia missed its Sunday deadline to meet a 30-day grace period on the interest payments of $100 million on two Eurobonds that were originally due on May 27, according to Bloomberg.
Russia owes $40 billion in total but has not been able to pay interest or repay its debts after it was shut out of the international financial system for invading Ukraine in February. Its foreign debt burden is relatively low as a result of the Kremlin’s policy to partially protect the economy from international sanctions after the 2014 invasion | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/russia-defaults-on-foreign-debts-wbnt3srqk | 2022-06-27T15:59:40Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/russia-defaults-on-foreign-debts-wbnt3srqk | true | null |

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