F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: Prme Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said the current economic scenario of Pakistan required tactical solutions to address economic problems and stressed rising above politics to sort out the financial issues confronting the country.
Addressing the ‘Turn Around Conference’, he said economic self-reliance was the key to achieving the goals of development and prosperity.The event organized by Ministry of Planning Development and Special Initiatives gathered stakeholders from all walks of life with an objective to finding solutions to the country’s current socio-economic issues. The prime minister said Pakistan was facing many external and internal challenges which were compounded by the existing commodity super- cycle and geo-political situation.
He said as the economic growth did not offer enough opportunities for national progress, short-term measures could act as a catalyst for speeding up the growth.He said financial self-reliance was the top most priority of the coalition government.He said focusing on the areas of agriculture, agro-based industry and exports was vital to strengthen the national economy. He stressed the need for judicious utilization of the $2 billion tranche from the International |Monetary Fund (IMF) and pledged that every single penny would be spent prudently.
He also mentioned the support of China during the tough financial times and helping Pakistan in its journey towards economic stability. PM Sharif said there was no dearth of talent and potential in Pakistan and emphasized setting the right direction to achieve the goals of prosperity. He pointed out that several vital projects such as Reko Diq were abandoned in the past that damaged the development agenda of the country.He said also, many power generation projects were stopped that resulted in shortage of electricity and impacted the industrial growth.The prime minister expressed satisfaction that the conference engaged all the relevant stakeholders which could hold the development sector together from across the nation.He said wider and inclusive consultations of experts belonging to diversified fields could be helpful in providing solutions to come out of this economic quagmire.
Finance Minister Miftah Ismael said the government gave relief to people despite tough circumstances.He said the government imposed direct taxes and also the Super Tax to help the country become self-reliant.He said the previous government took Rs 20,000 billion loan in around four years which put a heavy burden on the national exchequer.He mentioned that tax had been levied on rich and vowed to also bring the traders and shopkeepers into tax net.
Federal Minister for Planning Development and Special Initiatives, Professor Ahsan Iqbal said the aim was to take input, understand and resolve hurdles in economic growth in order to place country’s economy back on track. He said the solutions of the conference would be aimed at short term results, adding that if substantial, these due deliverance compact ideas could be extended on to mid and long-term objectives.
He said the government had already taken necessary short-term actions to stabilize the economy and deal with the looming balance of payments crisis.However, he said, the government’s focus is to ferret out the medium to long-term solutions to optimise country’s economy to tap its full potential in line with Vision 2025.The conference was attended by representatives of political parties, federal ministries, provincial governments, national and international private sector entrepreneurs, international development and financial institutions, academia, think tanks, independent experts, NGOs and civil society. | https://thefrontierpost.com/self-reliance-needed-to-address-problems-pm/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=self-reliance-needed-to-address-problems-pm | 2022-06-28T20:56:28Z | https://thefrontierpost.com/self-reliance-needed-to-address-problems-pm/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=self-reliance-needed-to-address-problems-pm | true | 3 |

Robert Bryant
Thanks Chris. Good morning and thanks for joining us to review Axalta's second quarter financial results. We're very happy to report a quarter with stable topline sales growth ex-FX, expanded consolidated margins, and strong operating profit and earnings performance supplemented by excellent corresponding cash flow.
Underlying drivers remain broadly consistent with our first quarter results notably including acceleration in average price-cost gap closures as well as ongoing progress with Axalta Way productivity savings, which remain on track for our 2019 targets.
As you are aware Axalta's Board of Directors announced in June that we are conducting a review of strategic alternatives. The Board and management remain committed to maximizing value for our shareholders.
As I'm sure you can appreciate we're not prepared to share any incremental information regarding that review at this time and we thank you for your patience until we can share any conclusions.
Shifting to operating highlights for the quarter, as you can see on Page 3, consolidated constant currency net sales were stable in Q2. A reported 4.5% decline included a 3.5% negative foreign exchange impact as well as a 0.9% negative M&A impact, driven by the sale of our interest in a previously consolidated joint venture in China which we noted on our April earnings call and included in our updates to our full year guidance.
The flat organic net sales included lower volumes offset by equally strong price mix effects. Performance Coatings net sales were flat before currency effects and increased 1.2% before M&A-related impacts.
Transportation Coatings net sales decreased 2.4% ex-FX driven by lower Light Vehicle global production volumes. Price mix in Light Vehicle showed solid and encouraging positive acceleration as we continued to work with customers to adequately compensate for the ongoing raw material inflation experienced over the last two years.
We reported second quarter consolidated EBIT of $197 million, a 9% increase compared to the $182 million in the same quarter a year ago, driven by strong price mix drop through to earnings as well as including benefit from productivity efforts across the business, which included year-over-year benefits from stock-based compensation in the quarter.
The volume effects were a notably offset to profit growth, while ongoing variable cost inflation and FX also weighed on results, though to a lesser extent than Q1 as anticipated given the overlapping sequential headwinds seen during 2018.
Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.52 per share which compared with $0.46 per share in the prior year quarter with drivers consistent with those just mentioned at the operating level.
Looking at our end markets briefly, Refinish net sales increased 3.6% ex-FX in the quarter. We grew net sales ex-FX in the mid-single-digits across North America and EMEA, while other regions appeared to exhibit more tepid economic business conditions.
We continue to efficiently offset variable inflation with appropriate price management to sustain the broader margins of this business. In volume terms, we continue to see moderate pressure from the North America region, which we attribute to ongoing distributor channel destocking and continued adoption of our more efficient premium paint systems. We remain on track for full year expectations for both net sales and profit, bolstered by continued share gains and stable end market body shop demand.
Our Industrial coatings end market saw a net sales decline of 1.1% in the quarter ex-FX and before negative M&A-related impacts from the China JV sale. Drivers of this slight pullback in net sales ex-FX include low single-digit net sales decreases in North America and EMEA, offset by solid growth in Asia-Pacific excluding our JV disposition impacts. Overall, volumes were down mid single-digits, while average price mix increased low to mid single-digits.
The contraction correlates broadly to global industrial production indicators which remains low and appear to accelerate negatively somewhat in the period.
Looking ahead, we've somewhat reduced our volume assumption for the balance of the year though offset largely by better-than-expected price mix outcomes and additional cost control across the company. We also continue to invest in business and introduced many new products as per our plan.
Light Vehicle net sales declined 4.3% ex-FX for the second quarter, reflecting lower production rates for our OEM customers in most regions and more severe ongoing demand weakness persisting in China.
IHS production forecast for 2019 have been further reduced several times in recent months, now calling for a 3.7% global production decline versus a 1% lower assumption as of March end. The updated global production guidance now includes a 4.7% reduction from EMEA, a 2% decline in North America, and a 4.1% decrease for Asia-Pacific, including a negative 6.9% in China.
Commercial Vehicle net sales increased 4.5% ex-FX in Q2, including ongoing strong production of commercial trucks in the Americas and continued solid demand for non-truck customers across our business. Price mix was down slightly in the period, but margins for Commercial Vehicle have seen continued improvements due to volume contribution.
Regarding our balance sheet and cash flows, second quarter free cash flow was solid, and we reconfirmed our full year free cash flow targets of $430 million to $470 million. We finished the quarter at 3.5 times net leverage versus 3.6 times net leverage at March quarter end. We repurchased 1.6 million shares for a total consideration of $39.5 million in the second quarter at an average price of $24.90.
In terms of innovation investment highlights, in Refinish, we continued the launch of several new products in EMEA, including a new ultra high productivity primer sealer and a new waterborne base coat performance additive. We also launched our new premium refinish Standox product line in China.
In our Industrial market, we have partnered with a robotics company to introduce a real-time in line monitoring solution to optimize a process related to coating electrical motors, which enhances customer quality and productivity.
Finally in Transportation Coatings, Axalta continued it’s focused on harmonized coating technologies with the first commercial launch of a direct-to-plastic low bake basecoat quick coat system which significantly reduces overall cycle times for customers.
Regarding our 2019 execution priorities, we remain firmly focused on meeting our objective of generating profitable growth. The back half of 2019 is expected to be moderately challenging, given ongoing lower automotive OEM production rates in key markets we serve, as well as somewhat subdued industrial coatings demand in North America and Europe.
Further, we remain committed to actively managing our cost structure to ensure broad margin stability regardless of the volume backdrop. And our Axalta Way planning remains highly engaged and an integral part of our goal achievement.
I'll now turn the call over to Sean for further review of our financial results.
Sean Lannon
Thanks, Robert and good morning. Turning to slide four. Consolidated constant currency net sales decreased 1% year-over-year, including a flat result in Performance Coatings and a decrease of 2.4% in Transportation Coatings.
Excluding M&A impacts, which incorporate the sale of the interest in the consolidated JV in China, consolidated net sales would have been flat with Performance Coatings posting a 1.2% increase. The top line result was driven principally by solid ongoing price mix outcomes offset by volume pressure across most end markets and regions.
On the pricing side, Axalta posted ongoing strong recapture within Performance Coatings and acceleration within Transportation Coatings driven by sequential uptick in Light Vehicle which is our third sequential quarter with positive price recapture. FX translation was a 3.5% headwind for the period and the drop through impact of this was largely consistent with our overall corporate margins.
Key sources of pressure included the Euro, Renminbi and Brazilian Real. Q2 adjusted EBIT of $197 million was a 9% increase from the prior year and margins improved 210 basis points to 17.1%. This result was driven by strong price mix drop through as well as continued productivity benefits including a benefit from stock based compensation forfeitures in the quarter.
Our bottom line growth was delivered despite volume headwinds across most end markets the ongoing FX impact and raw material inflation at mid-single digit percent increases at the adjusted EBIT level, albeit at moderating rates against prior year comparisons as anticipated.
Turning to slide 5. Performance Coatings second quarter net sales were flat year-over-year excluding a 3.5% negative FX impacts and up 1.2% excluding the JV sale-related impacts previously noted. Organic growth drivers included a 4.7% increase in average price mix offset partially by a 3.5% decrease in volume. Refinish produced second quarter constant currency net sales growth of 3.6% versus the prior year quarter which was slightly faster growth sequentially relative to the first quarter driven by improved price mix contribution.
Net sales growth ex-FX was led by solid increase in North America and EMEA while other regions were more subdued in the period. Volumes in the period included somewhat weaker Asia Pacific and Latin America results along with a moderate impact from distributor channel inventory management in North America.
Axalta channel checks within customer body shops continued to suggest steady demands including steady purchase patterns from distribution. Total Refinish net sales ex-also continue to grow positively, despite the volume-related headwinds as the benefit of improved product mix and continued pricing benefits accrued positive net sales growth.
Industrial end market net sales ex-FX decreased 5.3% year-over-year in second quarter, but decreased 1.1% excluding the impact of the China JV sale. The modest decline was driven by volume pressure in most regions, offset by solid gains in average price mix from all regions. Volume pressure is fairly broad based and global industrial production in the period appear to be the primary underlying factor.
Performance Coatings second quarter adjusted EBIT of $128 million increased 17.2% year-over-year with strong continued price mix traction and benefits from productivity initiatives partially offset by volume drop through impact, continued variable cost inflation and negative FX impacts. Adjusted EBIT margins of 16.9% increased 300 basis points year-over-year, including both price mix tailwinds as well as cost reduction benefits against the prior year quarter.
Turning to slide 6. Transportation Coatings net sales decreased 2.4% year-over-year in the second quarter before FX headwinds of 3.6%. Segment volumes decreased 5.1% slightly offset by favorable price impacts from Light Vehicle.
Light Vehicle second quarter net sales decreased 4.3% excluding a 3.9% FX headwind. Volumes decreased mid-single digits overall driven by lower production rates globally in Light Vehicle and most notably from China. Average price mix accelerated sequentially from the first quarter reflecting the realization of initiatives noted in our last quarterly call and ongoing discussions with customers regarding the need to offset persistent inflation across the business for the last several years.
Commercial vehicle Q2 net sales increased 4.5% before FX headwinds of 2.6%. This growth reflects continued solid global vehicle markets, as well as non-truck submarkets such as bus, rail and recreational vehicles.
Global forecast updates for heavy-duty truck production remain steady for 2019 despite more moderate order rates seen in North America heavy truck this past spring as backlogs remain elevated in the region. Transportation Coatings generated Q2 adjusted EBIT of $40 million versus $38 million in second quarter of 2018 and associated margins of 10.1% in Q2, compared to 9% in the year ago period. The margin uptick included the benefit of price mix drop through as well as the tailwind from moderate productivity benefits offset in large part by volume declines and ongoing input cost inflation.
Turning to slide 7. Second quarter free cash flow totaled $104 million versus $107 million in the second quarter of 2018. The similar free cash flow outcome was driven by moderately greater working capital uses in the current period offset by lower capital expenditures compared to the second quarter 2018, which are largely timing related.
We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $577 million and a net debt balance of $3.3 billion versus $3.4 billion at March 31 end. Our net leverage ratio at quarter end was 3.5 times compared to 3.6 times at March 31, primarily reflecting a $76 million higher cash balance due to sequentially improved working capital performance and after deploying an additional $40 million for share repurchases in the quarter.
Turning to slide 8. We're updating our financial guidance for 2019. For net sales, ex-FX, we now assume no growth overall which incorporates our updated view on volume development from the end markets as we have noted, particularly impacted by lower Light Vehicle builds, but also reduced industrial global production demands. For reported net sales, we expect to be around 2% lower year-over-year, including an approximate 2%, FX headwinds versus approximately 1% to 2% in our prior assumption.
We have updated our original guidance range for adjusted EBITDA from $950 million to $1 billion to a range of $950 million to $975 million, reflecting continued volume headwinds particularly in Light Vehicle as well as FX headwinds of approximately 2% to net sales and around $20 million at the adjusted EBITDA level.
For adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS, we continue to assume low-single digit variable cost inflation at the cost of goods sold level and broadly similar sequential guidance constructs, but we anticipate some incremental cost reduction as well as price mix benefits as well as incremental stock-based compensation forfeiture benefits, which collectively offset the lower topline assumptions.
D&A is also about $10 million lower, principally due to FX translational impacts. Other line items remain consistent as you can see. There is the incorporation of lower share count from our buybacks in the first half contribute approximately $0.02 per share which are reflected in the adjusted EPS guidance. For quarterly phasing of results, we expect third and fourth quarter profit based on the midpoint of our adjusted EBIT guidance range to approximate 25% and 26% respectively of the full year total.
This concludes our prepared remarks. We will now be pleased to answer any questions. Operator, please open the lines for Q&A.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
At this time, we’ll be conducting a question-and answer-session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Paretosh Misra with Berenberg. Please proceed with your question.
Paretosh Misra
Thank you. Can you elaborate on the -- this 3.6% price mix contribution in the Light Vehicle's business? I'm actually curious about the mix part like how big is the mix component within this 3.6%? And what's driving that? And is that sustainable?
Robert Bryant
Good morning Paretosh and thanks for your question. In terms of the price achievements -- price mix achievement of 3.6% in the quarter, the majority of that is price and only a small amount of that is mix.
Paretosh Misra
Got it. And maybe just as a follow-up on the Refinish business, what -- can you elaborate a bit more about what are the volume trends that you're seeing? It sounds like you saw some weakness in North America and emerging market. Do you expect that to continue?
Robert Bryant
Well, I think as your question points out, when you think about Refinish, we have to look at it as a global market and actually our largest market for Refinish is actually in Europe. And as far as growth markets goes -- go our emerging markets are our largest potential growth area as we move forward. Specifically, if we talk about North America, the volume trends that we've seen there as we've explained in prior calls is predominantly driven by the shift from solventborne to waterborne coatings as well as the growth that we see in the MSO segments of the North America Refinish market. Those shops are just on average more efficient than average shops that are not owned by MSOs, and therefore they use slightly less paint from a volumetric perspective. So as we continue to innovate both in terms of the productivity of the product as well as the services that we provide we capture what is given up there on a volumetric perspective in price mix.
And then the third element has to do with behavior we see in the distribution channel and as we've highlighted previously distribution in terms of lowering their cost structure both at an operating level as well as a working capital level is a trend that we have seen continue in the industry given the consolidation as well as distributor's desire to increase their margin.
Paretosh Misra
Got it. Thanks. And good luck with everything.
Robert Bryant
Thank you, Paretosh.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Christopher Parkinson with Credit Suisse. Please proceed with your question.
Harris Fein
Thank you. This is Harris Fein on for Chris. I'm just curious how should we be thinking about the need for you to implement additional pricing specifically in Transportation Coatings versus just letting this price increase that you had in 2Q roll through the next few quarters?
Robert Bryant
If we look at the – what's happened over the last couple of years in terms of Refinish margins have been negatively impacted by fairly dramatic raw material inflation at a period in time when prices did not go up very much in the overall market. We're now seeing traction in terms of having those conversations with our Light Vehicle customers in terms of price increases and we had several of those discussions come to fruition and be realized actually in the first quarter, although it wasn't an impact of a full quarter. So you see a pickup in the first quarter of what's going on in the second quarter. And in addition, what you also see in Light Vehicle is just the ongoing impact of several other changes that we've made in terms of moving more customers to be on an index as well as other surcharge mechanisms. So the progress that we've seen there in the second quarter is not a one-time event. We would expect to see that on an ongoing basis, but perhaps not at exactly the same level. Specifically, with regard to second quarter, it's approximately roughly half price and roughly half mix effect in the second quarter for Light Vehicle.
Harris Fein
Got it. And just as a follow-up. In terms of the destocking that you saw in Refinish during the quarter, could you just point us any indictors that gives you confidence that that does represent any deceleration in demand from declining frequency and that it is just destocking? Thank you.
Robert Bryant
Given our close relationship with the end customers at the body shop level, we have a very good feel for what's going on in the repair shops. And what we can see there is the amount of activity at the repair shop level as well as just the size of the – and growth of the car park and accident rates give us confidence that the end market is actually continuing to perform as we had originally expected. And what you're just really seeing is the continued push by distribution to become more efficient.
Harris Fein

Our next question comes from the line of Ghansham Panjabi with Baird. Please proceed with your question.
Ghansham Panjabi
Hey, guys. Good morning. I guess, first-off going back to auto Refinish and sort of looking back in the last couple of years had volumes drawback for the industry played out the way you thought they would across your major regions sort of separating us some of the unique destocking elements that you've been impacted with? And then going forward what you think is reasonable for industry volume specific to Refinish on an ongoing basis across your major regions?
Robert Bryant
Ghansham as we look at that, I think the important thing to remember is that when you look at the Refinish business you really need to look at it at a net sales level, just structurally as the business operates. And in your customer base you're trying to push towards higher and higher productivity coating systems. So whether you're in Europe or whether you're in Southeast Asia or North America everybody is under pressure to become more efficient. So if you look at just volume trends, I think we'll be missing a very important part of the story. You really have to look at overall sales. And I think compared to our expectations, we've actually seen at a net sales level the overall end market growth that we would have expected. And I think we'll continue to see that growth in particular in emerging markets as you see the car parks and increasing grow – and increasing penetration of the middle class and growth of the middle class in those emerging markets.
Ghansham Panjabi
Understood. And so as you disaggregate the comment on net sales how much do you think price – how much do you think mix has impacted that component as you kind of think about volume mix and so on the evolution of higher productive coatings et cetera? What do you think the mix component is if you disaggregate that?
Robert Bryant
Well, we've certainly seen an increase in waterborne coatings. Much of that in developed markets is really driven by the just the natural evolution of the market. Then you have some markets where it's more regulatory driven such as China and then you're seeing other countries really push on the environmental regulatory side of the equation.
So therefore, we think that there's going to continue to be a push towards waterborne. But waterborne isn't the right solution necessarily for every situation and every body shop. So we do have high solids low VOC solventborne product that's the leading product in that category in the industry that has also experienced strong growth.
So I think overall we would expect to see the Refinish industry grow globally and each market and then we also expect to see some of the shifts that we had talked about in terms of more solventborne or less solventborne to more waterborne and then even in some jurisdictions that are predominantly solventborne an increase in the use of high solids low VOC solventborne.
Ghansham Panjabi
Okay. And just one final one. Understanding you're very limited on what you could say on the strategic review. But during this period, how should we sort of think about capital allocation as it relates to your free cash flow generation for 2019? Thanks so much.
Robert Bryant
I think nothing really changes as far as capital priorities. I think we remain focused on our M&A efforts. I think we're going to continue to drive the internal and organic projects those high-return projects that we've continued to voice-over and we'll continue to look at opportunistic share buyback. And to the extent, we're accomplishing something from an – M&A perspective. We'll continue to build cash on the balance sheet heading towards our net leverage target of 2.5 times. So that's kind of how we think about capital priorities today regardless of the strategic review.
Ghansham Panjabi
Thank you very much.

Our next question comes from the line of Mike Sison with KeyBanc. Please proceed with your question.
Mike Sison
Hey, guys. Nice quarter. I think I heard you say that your guidance for the second half is 25%, third quarter 26% of the outlook fourth quarter so you'll have an acceleration into the fourth quarter. Could you maybe talk about some of the drivers of why the fourth quarter is going to be stronger than the third quarter?
Robert Bryant
We do see raw materials moderating as we get into the back half of the year so that's one big contributor. And then from an FX perspective we also see a little bit of strengthening. And last thing and not as notable but we do see our comps from an LV perspective improving slightly in the fourth quarter.
Sean Lannon
In the last component Mike would be the usual process of accumulating cost savings through the year which usually are most impactful and helpful in the fourth quarter.
Mike Sison
Got it. And just a quick one on Commercial Vehicle it's been – sounds like it continues to see good growth for you guys, anything in particular driving that? Is it new products market share gains just kind of your thoughts on that segment?
Robert Bryant
Yeah. The big driver is just the Americas heavy-duty truck market continues to do extremely well and given our market penetration there we're benefiting from that.
Mike Sison
Great. Thank you.
Operator
Our next question comes from line of David Begleiter with Deutsche Bank. Please proceed with your question.
David Huang
This is David Huang here for David. I guess, first as gross deflating the second half where are you at risk for pricing pressure? And I guess can Light Vehicle sustain pricing in a environment of weakened market demand and low raw materials?
Sean Lannon
Yeah, I think…
Robert Bryant
Could you repeat your question? I'm sorry. You came down -- you came through quite softly. We got part of your question, but not all of it.
David Huang
I guess, how do you think about second half gross are expected to deflate? Where are you at risk for pricing pressure? And when you think about Light Vehicle, can Light Vehicle sustain pricing in a environment of weak macro demand and lower raw materials environment?
Robert Bryant
I think as we look at our markets we do see raw material headwinds easing throughout the second half of the year based on purchases that we've made up till now. So barring a shock here and a big uptick in the third quarter in terms of what we're buying that would flow through in the fourth quarter. There still are headwinds. It's just that they're lower. So we still have year-over-year inflation. And as such I think our customer base understands our need to recoup that inflation.
And with regard to Light Vehicle, the gap in price capture to offset the raw material inflation that has occurred there over the last really 2.5 years now, two years is quite substantial. And so while there's been good progress on price increase there to offset those costs, there still needs to be more to offset more of the margin decrement that's occurred over the last two years.
David Huang
Thanks. And then how do you think about your 2020 EBITDA relative to your 2019 expectation?
Sean Lannon
At this point we haven't provided any guidance on 2020. Our regular cadence is to do that towards the end of the year so you can expect that towards the end of 2019.
David Huang
Thanks.
Operator
Your next question comes from line of P.J. Juvekar with Citi. Please proceed with your question.
Eric Petrie
This is Eric Petrie on for P.J. China auto sales were weak in the quarter, but do you by the view that auto dealer inventories in China have declined in the -- are now back to normal? And then what is your order book looking like?
Sean Lannon
Yeah. So we don't typically carry an order book or certainly one that we discuss in automotive that's a relative just-in-time delivery business and automotive manufacturers will carry generally a couple of weeks inventory that we're consistently replenishing. So our visibility into that short-term is about two weeks. We certainly discuss with our customers what their plans are longer-term.
We are aware that inventories in China are now quite low, which should be or at least could be helpful to the outlook for demand there, but we remain relatively cautious in terms of our guidance construct with regard to any acceleration of the China market at this point.
Eric Petrie
Thank you. And secondly could you just talk a little bit about the Industrial end market demand? And what you saw that did well or better or worse in the regions, especially the noted strength in Asia Pacific?
Robert Bryant
I think as others have seen in broader industrials as well as in coatings in the second quarter, we did see a softening in demand. And for us we've been experiencing an outsized growth in that end-market for a while. We did see some market softening in the second quarter.
As we go through our markets not too dissimilar from perhaps what others have commented in the wood business residential starts and remodels in the market were down about 5%. Fortunately, we've been able through new products, new customer gains and price increases to offset a large portion of that.
In the coil business, we have been impacted by lower demand in construction --agriculture and also lower steel imports have also dampened demands there somewhat. However, we do have a number of new products that have been launched in that market segment and more throughout the course of the year. So I think we're also fairly optimistic about our position within the coil market.
Our Energy Solutions business, what we see there is volumes down low-single digits, but price mix up mid-single digits. We have strengthened China given that the growth in that market there and that's been offsetting the softer demand that we see in Europe.
And then in our powder business, volumes have been flatter through the second quarter, but we have had price mix up in that business. So the global price increases that we've had there and some of the new business gains have really enabled us to offset some of the slowness that we saw in North America and EMEA and China is also a market that in the second quarter performed well for us.
Eric Petrie
Great. Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Aleksey Yefremov with Nomura Instinet. Please proceed with your question.
Matt Skowronski
Good morning. This is Matt Skowronski on for Aleksey. In Refinish last quarter you touched on how you saw some sales wins in the Americas. Were these fully implemented during 2Q? And if they weren't, how should we think about that cadence in the coming quarters?
Robert Bryant
So we've had very good commercial performance including some new business that is in the process of being converted. The conversion of that business actually takes time because you go on a shop-by-shop basis and convert each shop over to a new paint supplier. So we expect to see that benefit be relatively small this year but have a much larger impact next year.
Matt Skowronski
Thank you for that. And then just touching on something that you commented on earlier. In terms of raw materials, you mentioned you're pretty far along closing the gap in Light Vehicle or at least you made progress. Will that gap with raw materials and the price be completely closed by the end of the year?
Sean Lannon
No. So we're still, I would say early innings as it relates to Light Vehicle and just to correct something that was said earlier. The pricing you're actually seeing come through this quarter, it's predominantly price versus mix. So I just wanted to correct that point, but we still have a fair amount of work to do on the pricing side. And you've seen in the last three quarters, we've gotten price with that accelerating this quarter but there's still work to be done. And when you bridge over the performance, we are largely caught up on the performance side.
Matt Skowronski
Thank you.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Laurent Favre with Exane. Please proceed with your question.
Laurent Favre
Yes, good morning all. Two questions please. The first one on the raw material side. Can you give us a bit of an indication on what pressure or where are you seeing steel pressure into the second half on HDIs and things like that?
And then the second question on the strategic review, I appreciate that you don't want to speculate on the outcome but I was wondering if you could share anything on the process itself? For instance, have you hired consultants too? And are you sharing info with them on your business and are you asking them to look at what you could improve on your business itself? Or are you mostly doing it yourselves and getting in bankers to think about the M&A outcomes? Thank you.
Robert Bryant
Laurent on your second question, we won't be commenting on any of the details of the strategic review at this time. I think what we've said publicly is pretty much all we're going to say about that for now.
On your first question and looking at the raw material basket, just a little color by category. I think for Q3 at least we see resin prices finally starting to be flat, which is an improvement over our earlier expectation of slight inflation.
In isocyanates, we do continue to see price pressure there and expect them to be up year-over-year third quarter to third quarter. Solvents, we expect to be for the most part flat in the third quarter. Monomers is a category we do see -- due to some supply tightness there, we do continue to expect prices to be up. Pigments as it's usually the case kind of up. And then on additive side, we are seeing some relief there in the additive category with prices flattening out at least for the moment in particular the entire basket in the overall category is just reflective of where oil price has been. So again still headwind overall for us, but a lessening headwind compared to prior quarters.
Sean Lannon
And just to add two other notables that we've noted in prior quarters. We're still assuming about $30 million in headwinds as it relates to tariffs and you recall with oil really spiking in October of last year before we started to see the change, we're sitting on some high dollar inventory at the end of 2018 that largely turned in the first quarter of 2019.
Laurent Favre
Thank you.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Josh Spector with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Josh Spector
Hey, guys. Within performance, I was wondering could you breakdown the volume change year-on-year for the Refinish versus Industrial?
Sean Lannon
Yes. Josh, we haven't typically provided a bridge at that level. So we have noted the 3.5% lower volume offset by a higher price mix for the segment. We did have some decline in volume in Refinish offset by improved mid single-digit price mix and likewise some decline in volume in Industrial offset very well that price mix as well.
Josh Spector
Okay. And then on performance, I guess, if I look at what you did from an EBIT standpoint in the quarter and I look at prior years typically quarter-on-quarter into the September quarter is around maybe a $10 million decline sequentially. If I look at the guide that you have today, there's maybe closer to a $15 million $20 million decline. And I guess I think with some of the mix efforts and maybe a little bit of price benefit that it might have been more like a normal decline into the quarter. Curious what would be potentially driving that higher sequential decline versus what we typically see?
Sean Lannon
It's challenging to look at it on that basis in part because prior years had a lot of moving parts notably including the distributor destocking that occurred in 2017 and there was some correction for that in 2018 and the development of price mix in the segment over the last couple of years. So doing that particular type of analysis is a little bit challenging. So I prefer you think about it in terms of the current year dynamics predominantly. But you are correct that it is normal and typically seasonal to see a little bit of a step down 2Q to 3Q.
Josh Spector
Okay. Thanks.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Laurence Alexander with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question.
Dan Rizzo
Hi, everyone. This is Dan Rizzo on for Laurence. How are you?
Sean Lannon
Hey, Dan.
Dan Rizzo
If we think about how -- shifting Refinish customers to the coating systems to the higher margin coating systems, how does that process work? Is it -- I mean what's the length of it? Is it kind of involved or is there something that they accept? Or do you have to do a lot -- like kind of teach things?
Robert Bryant
It varies. If someone is switching from waterborne to solvent-borne there is an investment that's required in the paint booths. There is also training that's required of painters because the paint actually sprays differently. So if your question is kind of waterborne to solvent-borne, it's a fair amount of training and really kind of there's got to be a certain amount of throughput or there is a breakeven level where it makes sense for a shop to be solvent-borne or to be waterborne just based on the overall economics and outlook of the shop. Now if you're talking about switching from one competitor's paint system to another competitor's paint system, even if they're both waterborne or even if they're both solvent-borne, they spray differently. So there's also education and training that's required in that scenario.
Dan Rizzo
So it takes number of months to years to kind of do the switch over? How does that work?
Robert Bryant
A switch over of a body shop can be done in a weekend. The training and getting people up to an acceptable level of performance can take a few months. But again, it's largely a function of the quality of the painters. If we have painters that have been in the business for a while and highly skilled the process moves quite quickly. If you're in the shop where you've had a lot of painter turnover, the process may take longer.
Dan Rizzo
Okay. And then just one other question and then if we think about auto OEM trends what we're seeing in Light Vehicle, do you have any initial thoughts on Q4? And is there any likelihood of extended winter shut downs potentially for your customers?
Robert Bryant
As we think about our updated guidance and kind of going back to the January guide, we started off the year expecting to be slightly up. At the end of the first quarter, IHS was showing down 0.9% and now we're down at 3.7% based on what was recently published. So we're not expecting any sort of acceleration. I think as you look at our new top-line guidance it's now reflecting further volume declines following largely the IHS guidance.
Dan Rizzo
Thank you very much, guys.

Our next question comes from the line of Jeff Zekauskas with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.
Silke Kueck
Good morning. This is Silke Kueck for Jeff. How are you?
Chris Mecray
Good morning, Silke.
Silke Kueck
When you look at the restructuring announcement by the large auto OEM customers in terms of geographic turning down like a footprint in manufacturing, how do you think that might touch your business? And is that something that would be -- is that something you see like in 2020 or something that's like a longer term issue? Or do you think that's something that you feel this year?
Chris Mecray
Silke, its Chris. You know, there's actually been a series of announcements in different parts of the world. Probably the easiest way to answer that is that there is actually some impact in 2019 from announcements that were made last year including in North America and a little bit in Europe there's probably still some incremental impact that could occur in 2020 from announcements that have occurred this year.
In some cases we are not affected so it really is plant by plant. When I looked at it in detail I was relatively pleased at the direct impact to us relative to what I -- essentially first figured when I read those announcements. So overall while we can't completely duct the reality of some plant shutdowns globally, I would say that the impact to Axalta is moderate.
Silke Kueck
Okay. Secondly, I was wondering whether you can speak about your cash flows like you said the free cash flow was sort of like $30 million for the first six months. How do you think you'll get to your target full year end? And at what working capital changes do you expect to get those numbers?
Robert Bryant
Yes. I mean, we continue to drive working capital improvement. I mean, year-to-date we're fairly happy on where we're tracking against the full year guide. But as you bridge June to December the big areas of opportunity that we're driving towards are accounts receivable and inventory. AR just by a function of seasonality. That typically comes in but we expect that to tighten even more compared to the prior year, but we're on track to hit the guidance on why we're reconfirming the outlook that we provided last April.
Silke Kueck
So you think you'll go from like 30 to 475 by year end?
Sean Lannon
So we're reconfirming the range of 430 to 470…
Silke Kueck
Okay.
Sean Lannon
…for our free cash flow.
Silke Kueck
Okay. And the last question I have is that I was wondering whether you can talk about like the timing of the announcement of the strategic review? Like what prompted that and why now?
Sean Lannon
So Silke we've been asked quite a bit as you can imagine during the second quarter about that and essentially all we can say is that the Board made that announcement June 2019 and we haven't added anything specific to the context around that timing.
Silke Kueck
Okay. Thanks very much.
Sean Lannon
Thanks, Silke.

Our next question comes from line of Vincent Andrews with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.
Unidentified Analyst
Hi, guys. This is actually Steve on for Vincent. I just had maybe a question on the macro level. Looks like you guys cut your IP assumption from like 2.1 to 1.5, but your sales guidance was coming down quite bit more. So -- maybe if you could just bridge the delta in those two revisions that would be helpful?
Robert Bryant
Can you clarify the 2.1 referring to what?
Unidentified Analyst
Industrial production your assumption there?
Robert Bryant
Okay. Yes. I mean essentially you have an effect both on Industrial and Light Vehicle from that reduced Industrial production guidance, which is some of the underlying driver behind the outlook of those businesses, but maybe jump in if we miss anything in your question.
Sean Lannon
Yeah. I mean the biggest change -- so we did provide the macros in the deck, but the biggest change for the top line guide is really volumes within Light Vehicle, following IHS. We are seeing some headwinds as far as Industrial, but the broad change relates to the Light Vehicle.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay. That’s helpful. Thank you.
Operator
Our next question comes from line of Steve Byrne with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Please proceed with your question.
Luke Washer
Hi, guys. This is actually Luke Washer on for Steve. I wanted to touch on the inventory destocking in your Refinish business. Where do you think the distributors are in the stocking process? And do you expect this to continue in the back half of 2019 and then kind of into 2020?
Robert Bryant
It's difficult to say. I think the distributors overall are, as we said before, looking to become more efficient both in their operating cost structure as well as in the amount of working capital and where they are exactly on their process is something that I think you have to ask them.
But I think at the end market, the end market level again, we're seeing strong growth and overall globally, we had good price -- I'm sorry, we had good overall growth at 3.6%. And I think again, it's important that everybody not lose sight of the fact that we're in a global Refinish market, and within that market Europe is actually our largest market and North America is our second largest market. The area of the most amount of growth over the next five to 10 years will be Asia and emerging markets. So, I think it's just important to keep that full picture in context.
Luke Washer
Sure. That's helpful. And last question. You guys did quite well on the margins for your Performance Coatings, 300 bps. Could you maybe break out a little bit more on how much of that was driven by price mix versus actual price increases and maybe productivity enhancements?
Robert Bryant
Yeah. So on price mix, generally speaking, it was about 50-50 as far as actual price versus mix. We don't actually quantify productivity by end market, but we are continuing to see the benefits of Axalta Way, and you see that dropping through to margins.
Luke Washer
Great. Thank you very much.
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. And now, I would like to turn the call back to Robert Bryant for closing remarks.
Robert Bryant
Thank you. I just wanted to highlight that the second quarter was a very strong quarter for us. We executed extremely well. We achieved 4% price mix overall and that includes price realization in both segments and across all four regions. And in particular, our efforts to offset raw material inflation with price increases in Light Vehicle should through clearly in the quarter with price mix of a positive 3.6%.
We're also seeing raw material inflation headwinds finally starting to ease somewhat. So, the higher pricing, the lower raw material inflation, and the continued strong contribution from our Axalta Way cost reduction program, is having a great impact on our profitability and our margins.
Adjusted EBIT itself increased 9% year-over-year, and our adjusted EBIT margin expanded by 210 basis points. So if you flow that through to net income, net income also increased by 9% year-over-year and our adjusted earnings per share increased 13%, which was further aided by our share buyback.
Although Industrial demand and Light Vehicle builds are expected to be lower in Q3 and Q4, we believe that the strong performance of our Refinish and Commercial Vehicle businesses, our price increases, the easing of raw material inflation, and our cost reduction programs will position us well to hit our full year profitability goals.
So, just wanted to provide that overall summary and perspective on the second quarter here. And thank you very much for joining us today and we look forward to updating you again on our progress in October.

Food bank running short on supplies, asking for donations
SPARKS, Nev. (KOLO) - A look around the Warehouse of the Food Bank of Northern Nevada just off USA Parkway in Storey County shows that many of their shelves are empty.
Marketing director Jocelyn Lantrip says there are a variety of reasons for the shortage which impacts the 115,000 people they help every month.
“We are seeing a decline in donations,” she stated, adding that supply chain issues and freight costs also play a role.
“We are a little nervous when we see the shelf this empty because we do plan ahead,” she mentioned. “We don’t see the demand for food services declining right now.”
When it comes to what food is needed the most, Lantrip says entrees like canned tuna, chicken and beans are priority.
And contrary to what some people may think, most of their food does not go to homeless people, in fact 86% of their clients aren’t homeless, but still need the help.
If you want to come out and donate food, you don’t have to do it at the USA Parkway warehouse. There are several locations in the Reno area when you can drop food off.

TOLEDO, Ohio — With thousands of families across the country struggling to find the appropriate baby formula for their children, Christine Robinson could not sit back and watch mothers become desperate and anxious any longer.
Instead she created her own solution.
Robinson, a graduate of Bowling Green State University and mother of three from Doylestown Penn., developed a baby formula database through Facebook. The tool allows a person to broaden their search of formula by mobilizing “formula hunters” across the country.
Members of the Facebook group, Formula Hunters, fill out a form with their name, child’s formula brand and how soon they’ll run out. The information is pulled into a database and is prioritized by need and is viewable by the group, which has grown to more than 850 members since it launched in May.
For Robinson, the idea is simple in purpose, but impactful in meaning.
“Imagine you’re a mom and you need formula, so you’re calling stores, looking online and checking as many places as you can,” Robinson said. “It’s much more efficient to have hundreds of people in this group looking for your formula for you.”
The group is entirely donation-based to eliminate any possibility of price gouging or scams, and relies solely on the kind-hearted nature of strangers. Since the launch, more than 180 requests for formula have been fulfilled
Robinson is thrilled to see her idea become a real solution.
"It’s so helpful to know that we’re not in this alone and that we’re going to solve it together," she said. "I love the community we’ve been able to cultivate,” Robinson said.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The House Appropriations Committee has voted to increase funding for two border agencies by nearly $3 billion while slashing their funding for migrant detention and monitoring in the Fiscal Year 2023.
The committee on Friday voted to increase the budgets for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to $85.6 billion, a 3% increase of $2.79 billion from Fiscal Year 2022, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, told Border Report on Monday.
The funding bill still must pass Congress, but if approved, that money could mean the hiring of 250 new CBP officers; 300 new Border Patrol agents; 300 border processing officers, plus 1,000 new technicians and support staff for these agencies, said Cuellar, who is vice chairman of the House Appropriations Homeland Security Committee.
This would mean “both the men and women in green and the men and women in blue got money for new agents but also the support staff to make sure that they do the work at the airport, at the bridges and also in between the ports also,” Cuellar said via zoom as he was traveling from South Texas back to Washington, D.C.
Cuellar said the Appropriations Committee last week voted on the budgets for six agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security; and this week is scheduled to vote on six other agency budgets for the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
Because homeland security is such a divisive topic, he said, DHS funding always gets put into the omnibus budget bill at year’s end and often undergoes changes between the House and Senate.
Cuellar is hoping that during that time, funds can be increased for the Alternatives to Detention Case Management Program for Fiscal Year 2023. Currently, only $30 million is slated for the program, which received $75 million in the current Fiscal 2022 year.
This program allows some asylum-seekers who are not considered a risk to American communities to be released in the United States with special government-issued cellular devices that require them to check in with ICE agents every few hours or to be tracked via GPS ankle monitors.
The Appropriations Committee also voted to cut funding for migrant detentions in Fiscal Year 2023. Currently, they have approved funds to house 34,000; but if this budget bill passes, there would be funds for no more than 25,000 migrants to be detained, Cuellar said.
“It’s a decrease and I was the only Democrat to vote in favor of increasing it to put it back to about 34,000, the usual normal amount,” Cuellar said.
There were 23,290 migrants in U.S. detention facilities as of June 20, according to the latest data by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
Cuellar said he fears that if there isn’t adequate detention facility space for migrants who are deemed a threat, and not enough electronic monitoring devices dolled out to asylum-seekers, then thousands who cross the Southwest border could be given humanitarian parole and the U.S. government would rely on their word to show up for immigration court hearings and to regularly check in with ICE officials.
“The ones we want to keep in detention are the ones who might be a risk to the communities. But the ones that we can put a monitor on that is something I’ve been adding money to provide a more humane way for the ones who are a low-risk to communities,” Cuellar said.
Regarding the partisan divide over border security, Cuellar said lawmakers often make their positions known when the vote comes down to money.
“Some people feel we do too much; some people feel we don’t do enough,” he said. “So it’s been reduced but we’re hoping in conference we can get some of that back.”
Conference talks will likely begin in December as the government approaches the deadline for funding the federal workforce.
A five-week government shutdown occurred in early 2019 when lawmakers sparred over funding the border wall.
The Biden administration has halted border wall construction, and this budget bill instead has increased funds for virtual technology and includes:
- $100 million for border technology and $15 million for “innovative technology.”
- $165 million for the construction of a third Joint Processing Center on the southern border.
- $35 million for body cameras for ICE agents.
- $7 million for child exploitation investigations by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.
- $6 million for Carrizo cane control for Border Patrol agents to patrol the banks of the Rio Grande.
“With this bill, we are securing our borders by funding smart and effective investments in technology and operations. We are respecting the dignity of children and families by making border processing quicker and more efficient and improving conditions in short-term holding facilities,” Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, said in a statement. | https://www.abc27.com/national/proposed-border-budget-has-more-money-for-agents-less-for-detaining-migrants/ | 2022-06-28T21:12:14Z | https://www.abc27.com/national/proposed-border-budget-has-more-money-for-agents-less-for-detaining-migrants/ | false | 21 |
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 29. NATO countries at the summit in Madrid will officially invite Finland and Sweden to join the alliance, but the entry process itself will take longer. This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference in Madrid, Trend reports citing TASS
"Tomorrow the leaders of the alliance will decide on inviting Finland and Sweden to become its members. After this summit, they will hold the status of invited countries, then the ratification process will begin in all capitals, but I have absolute confidence in the trilateral memorandum of understanding that was signed today" , - he said.
The delegations of Türkiye, Sweden and Finland, after a meeting in Madrid, signed an agreement that takes into account Türkiye’s security requirements, and now Ankara is ready to support the entry of these countries into the alliance, Stoltenberg said.
“I am happy to announce that we now have an agreement that paves
the way for Sweden and Finland to join NATO. They have signed a
memorandum that addresses Türkiye's concerns, including arms
control and the fight against terrorism,” Stoltenberg said. In the
light of the progress made, Türkiye is ready to support the
accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO."
Finland and Sweden are ready to work with Türkiye on the
extradition of persons accused of terrorism, Stoltenberg said.
"Finland and Sweden, of course, are ready to work with Türkiye on <...> the extradition of terrorist suspects, but at the same time, extradition processes will take place in accordance with the European Convention on Extradition, the rule of law, the legal system in these countries "said the NATO Secretary General. | https://en.trend.az/world/3615171.html | 2022-06-28T21:12:59Z | https://en.trend.az/world/3615171.html | false | 3 |

Gov. Wolf Announces Federal Transit Administration Grant to Expand Access to Transportation Assistance Programs
Harrisburg, PA – Governor Tom Wolf today announced that the Pennsylvania departments of Transportation (PennDOT) and Human Services (DHS) have been awarded a $750,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to expand its Find My Ride (FMR) online tool, Pennsylvania's "one-stop shop" for access to human services transportation.
Pennsylvania was among 17 states that received funding through FTA's Innovative Coordinated Access & Mobility (ICAM) Pilot Program, which received millions more in funding thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
"Since taking office I have committed to expanding access to health care to ensure that Pennsylvanians have the opportunity to lead healthier lives," said Gov. Wolf. "This grant through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law builds upon my commitment and will help some of the commonwealth's most vulnerable citizens get to and from their health care appointments by reducing transportation barriers they would experience otherwise."
FMR Apply was developed collaboratively with transit agencies and streamlines the application process for the five largest transportation assistance programs in the state, including the Senior Shared Ride program, the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP), ADA complementary paratransit, the Persons with Disabilities program and the Free Transit Program. Additionally, FMR Apply allows third-parties, such as a family member or healthcare provider, to apply for services on behalf of a rider.
"Public transportation is available in every county in Pennsylvania, and people depend on it every day," said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. "Often, the folks who rely most heavily on the human services transportation system are the most vulnerable among us, and I'm proud that Find My Ride has made it easier than ever to access these services. We're grateful that these funds will help us make it even better, for both the people who help administer these critical programs as well as those who rely on them."
The new FTA funds will allow for the expansion of upgrades of FMR to simplify the public's access to the tool as well as streamline processes for healthcare providers and MATP administrators. Some examples of enhancements to the system supported by these new grant funds include:
- Allowing consumers to request fixed route and mileage reimbursement assistance directly via FMR and give them the option of having reimbursements transmitted directly to their bank account;
- Creating an interface between FMR and DHS's PROMISe system, which will allow MATP administrators to verify a consumer's MATP eligibility automatically;
- Allowing MATP administrators to issue fixed route tickets and passes directly to a consumer's mobile ticketing app; and
- Giving health care providers a means to verify a visit occurred using the system.
DHS' MATP program provides non-emergency medical transportation for Medicaid-eligible consumers who do not have access to transportation. MATP funds more than 4 million trips annually, and each county provides the type of transportation that is the least expensive while still meeting an individual's needs. Contact information specific to each county MATP provider can be found at matp.pa.gov.
"DHS is committed to do everything we can to make sure people have the assistance and resources they need to be able to live safely with dignity and independence in their communities. The Find My Ride tool is one way we can make this possible, and we're grateful for these funds to help support these efforts," said Acting DHS Secretary Meg Snead. "Nobody should let a lack of transportation keep you from getting to a doctor's appointment or filling your prescription, so I encourage anyone who might need assistance with transportation to reach out today."
Since the rollout of FMR Apply in May 2021 via transit agencies, assistance-program applications have been processed for nearly 8,000 Pennsylvanians and benefits to transit agencies, PennDOT, DHS, and customers have been considerable. Customers do not need to determine what programs they are eligible for, and this, coupled with the user-friendly application has resulted in an increase in applications submitted. Automatic data validation within the application has resulted in improved data accuracy, saving transit agencies time and money in processing applications. Transit agencies can process applications more efficiently, which allows transit users to access benefits more quickly.
In addition to FMR Apply, the FMR Educate site provides information on how to use public transportation and the kinds of public transportation options available.
Last month, employees from PennDOT, DHS and the Office of Administration (OA) were recognized with a Governor's Award for Excellence for the FMR tool.
More information on public transit and alternative transportation options like ridesharing, biking, and walking, is available on PennDOT's website.

The "Hocus Pocus 2" trailer will put a spell on you.
On June 28, Disney dropped a sneak peek of the highly anticipated follow-up to the popular 1993 Halloween film with the Sanderson sisters—played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy—reprising their iconic roles 29 years later.
The clip begins with a group of three high school girls discussing how they're going to celebrate one of their 16th birthdays. The teens then visit a shopkeeper, played by Sam Richardson, who tells the girls, "You know, legend has it, it's on the 16th birthday that a witch gets her powers."
Two of the girls then appear to read a spell, which causes the black flame candle to reignite. The ground beneath the teens splits and the Sanderson sisters appear.

"Lock up your children," Bette's character Winifred says. "Yes, Salem, we're back!"
The trailer ends with a man at a carnival asking the sibling witches if they're looking for a stage, to which Winifred mischievously replied, "Always."
"It's been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge," Disney said in a statement about the film June 28. "Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow's Eve."
The Anne Fletcher-directed film also stars Doug Jones, Hannah Waddingham, Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo, Lilia Buckingham, Froyan Gutierrez and Tony Hale.
"Hocus Pocus 2" will be available to stream on Disney+ on Sept. 30. | https://www.nbcmiami.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/see-the-sanderson-sisters-reunite-in-first-hocus-pocus-2-teaser-trailer/2794181/ | 2022-06-28T21:16:43Z | https://www.nbcmiami.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/see-the-sanderson-sisters-reunite-in-first-hocus-pocus-2-teaser-trailer/2794181/ | false | 1 |

A group of Calgarians is getting ready to march in support of Americans who are affected by the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The march will take place Sunday, July 3 at noon at the Hotchkiss Garden by the 4th Street C-Train station and will end at Olympic Plaza.

The organizers welcome anyone who has pro-choice testimony to share their experience once they get to the plaza.
On the event’s Facebook page they say, “Bring your signs, bring your friends, everyone who is pro-choice is welcome to join! Let’s show our support!”
Last Friday, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the historic 1973 ruling that constitutionally allowed women seeking an abortion the autonomy to do so without excessive government intervention.
States can now individually decide if they want to ban abortions.
Americans who want and are able to are allowed to come north of the border to access Canadian abortion clinics. The decision has some Americans wondering what life in Canada is like, with Google searches about Canada skyrocketing. | https://dailyhive.com/calgary/calgary-march-roe-v-wade | 2022-06-28T21:18:05Z | https://dailyhive.com/calgary/calgary-march-roe-v-wade | true | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — The news story that reportedly caused former President Donald Trump to throw his lunch against a White House wall came because of an interview that former Attorney General William Barr had arranged with The Associated Press.
The story, which was published on Dec. 1, 2020, quoted Barr as saying that the U.S. Justice Department had uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.
In testimony before the Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson recalled “hearing noise coming from down the hallway” around the time the AP interview was published.
She noticed a door propped open in a West Wing dining room room where Trump had eaten, and a valet who was changing a tablecloth.
“He motioned for me to come in and then pointed towards the front of the room near the fireplace mantle and the TV when I first noticed there was ketchup dripping down the wall and there was a shattered porcelain plate on the floor,” Hutchinson said.
The valet told her that Trump was angry about Barr’s interview with AP and had thrown his lunch against the wall, she said.
“I grabbed a towel to clean up ketchup from the wall,” she said.
The story had been written by AP Justice Department reporter Michael Balsamo, who had been told a day earlier that Barr wanted him to come in for lunch. In videotaped testimony to the committee, Barr said that he “felt it was time to say something” about the voter fraud claims.
Recognizing the importance of the statement when Barr said the department had uncovered no evidence of voter fraud, Balsamo asked him to repeat it, and he did. He quickly filed his story from an office in the Justice Department when lunch was over.
Neither Balsamo nor AP editors had any comment Tuesday about Hutchinson’s testimony.
Shortly after the interview that day, Barr went to the White House for a previously scheduled meeting with Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, for whom Hutchinson was a special assistant.
“I told my secretary that I thought I would probably be fired and told … not to come back to my office, so you might have to pack up,” Barr said in his videotaped testimony, released in an earlier hearing.
He was asked to see Trump, who was “as mad as I’ve ever seen him,” and suggested that the attorney general hated him.
Barr resigned as attorney general a few weeks later.

The signs are everywhere that America is on the precipice of fascism. Most frightening is the evidence that millions of Americans are craving authoritarianism, which is another guise for fascism. We can see it in the direst signs: rallies in support of extremist candidates, extremist candidates winning primaries for the upcoming mid-term elections, aggressive and open displays of hate by white supremacist groups, the documentation of more than 700 active hate groups across the U.S., the adoption of voter restrictions in at least 19 states with more states proposing similar restrictions, and the installation of officials committed to overturning election results if preferred right-wing candidates lose in ballot counts. Add to that surveys that show authoritarian leanings by growing numbers of Americans.
Yes, we can understand the pain, suffering, and dissatisfaction of people struggling against economic, social, and political forces that are diminishing their quality of life. And it's clear too that the basic needs of many families are not being met. In the face of these debilitating forces, it is not hard to understand the appeal of an authoritarian leader who promises to deliver relief. But the cost of that relief may be the destruction of democracy. In fact, history tells us that fascism will not improve the lives of citizens in the long term. On the contrary, it poses many dangers to the quality of life while removing the protections, freedoms, and options that democracy provides.
Unfortunately, too many Americans don't understand the basics of democracy and its adversary, autocracy or dictatorship. And that deficiency can be traced to the failure of our educational systems, which have been woefully deficient in teaching these subjects. For that conclusion, we don't have to look further than a report by the University of Pennsylvania that two-thirds of Americans can't name the three branches of government.
Fascism may entice people with immediate rewards and the elimination of the "thems" the leader and followers may not like, such as people of color, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, or immigrants in general. But history has shown that any group under fascism can quickly become the "thems." The new "thems" will discover too late that they have lost the rights and protections they had in a democratic society.
Consider that former Vice President Mike Pence endorsed every utterance of President Donald Trump, And then when Pence refused to comply with his request to commit the illegal act of overturning the results of the 2020 election, Trump echoed the Jan, 6th insurrectionists' call to "hang Mike Pence." In an instant, Pence became one of "thems."
What about gun ownership under authoritarianism. After recent gun violence tragedies, opposing sides in the controversy on gun control have doubled down, even though Congress has passed a gun control bill. One side believes that any gun control legislation is just the beginning of the takedown of the Second Amendment. They cling to this belief despite the fact that no proposals for sensible gun control threaten the Second Amendment. Pro-gun advocates firmly believe that an authoritarian leader will guarantee their right to own guns of any sort and number.
Those craving authoritarianism will be surprised to learn that one of the early actions an authoritarian regime will take is restricting gun ownership. History has shown that over the last 150 years authoritarian regimes on the right and on the left have taken guns away from the public. For verification, note the policies of current authoritarian regimes. Try to get a gun in Cuba, North Korea, or China. In Russia, you might be able to buy a gun. But first, you will have to submit to a psychiatric exam. Then if approved you must attend training sessions and will have to register the gun with the local police who will make periodic unannounced visits to your home to check on your gun--where it's kept, the firings and ammunition, and to be sure no gun in your possession can shoot more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
Authoritarian-ruled China has among the world's strictest gun control laws. In 2017 a woman who used air rifles to shoot balloons at her booth at a fun fair for tourists was given a three-year prison sentence. In Singapore, a democratic government with authoritarian leanings, if a gun is used in a criminal act, even if no one is injured or killed, it draws a mandatory death penalty sentence.

Finland, Sweden closer to joining NATO after Turkey drops opposition, leader says
MADRID (AP) - Turkey agreed Tuesday to lift its opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO, a breakthrough in an impasse clouding a leaders’ summit in Madrid amid Europe’s worst security crisis in decades triggered by the war in Ukraine.
After urgent top-level talks, alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said "we now have an agreement that paves the way for Finland and Sweden to join NATO."
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted Sweden and Finland to abandon their long-held nonaligned status and apply to join NATO. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had blocked the move, insisting the Nordic pair change their stance on Kurdish rebel groups that Turkey considers terrorists.
RELATED: Russia-Ukraine war could last years, NATO chief warns
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö said the three countries’ leaders signed a joint agreement after talks on Tuesday.
Turkey said it had "got what it wanted" including "full cooperation ... in the fight against" the rebel groups.
The agreement comes at the opening of a crucial summit dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders arrived in Madrid for a summit that will set the course of the alliance for the coming years. The summit was kicking off with a leaders' dinner hosted by Spain's King Felipe VI at the 18th-century Royal Palace of Madrid.
Stoltenberg said the meeting would chart a blueprint for the alliance "in a more dangerous and unpredictable world."
"To be able to defend in a more dangerous world we have to invest more in our defense," Stoltenberg said. Just nine of NATO's 30 members meet the organization’s target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense. Spain, which is hosting the summit, spends just half that.
RELATED: Finland brewery's NATO beer has 'taste of security'
Top of the agenda for leaders in meetings Wednesday and Thursday is strengthening defenses against Russia and supporting Ukraine.
Biden, who arrived with the aim of stiffening the resolve of any wavering allies, said NATO was "as united and galvanized as I think we have ever been."
Moscow's invasion on Feb. 24 shattered European security and brought shelling of cities and bloody ground battles back to the continent. NATO, which had begun to turn its focus to terrorism and other non-state threats, has had to confront an adversarial Russia once again.
"Ukraine now faces a brutality which we haven’t seen in Europe since the Second World War," Stoltenberg said.
Diplomats and leaders from Tuekey, Sweden and Finland earlier held a flurry of talks in an attempt to break the impasse over Turkey's opposition to expansion. The three countries’ leaders met for more than two hours alongside Stoltenberg on Tuesday before the agreement was announced.
Erdogan is critical of what he considers the lax approach of Sweden and Finland toward groups that Ankara deems national security threats, including the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, and its Syrian extension. American support for Syrian Kurdish fighters in combatting the Islamic State group has also enraged Turkey for years.
Turkey has demanded that Finland and Sweden extradite wanted individuals and lift arms restrictions imposed after Turkey’s 2019 military incursion into northeast Syria.
Ending the deadlock will allow NATO leaders to focus on their key issue: an increasingly unpredictable and aggressive Russia.
A Russian missile strike Monday on a shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk was a grim reminder of the war’s horrors. Some saw the timing, as Group of Seven leaders met in Germany and just ahead of NATO, as a message from Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is due to address NATO leaders by video on Wednesday, called the strike on the mall a "terrorist" act.
RELATED: European Union makes Ukraine a candidate for EU membership
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko traveled to Madrid to urge the alliance to provide his country with "whatever it takes" to stop the war.
"Wake up, guys. This is happening now. You are going to be next, this is going to be knocking on your door just in the blink of an eye," Klitschko told reporters at the summit venue.
Stoltenberg said Monday that NATO allies will agree at the summit to increase the strength of the alliance’s rapid reaction force nearly eightfold, from 40,000 to 300,000 troops. The troops will be based in their home nations, but dedicated to specific countries on NATO’s eastern flank, where the alliance plans to build up stocks of equipment and ammunition.
Beneath the surface, there are tensions within NATO over how the war will end and what, if any, concessions Ukraine should make to end the fighting.
There are also differences on how hard a line to take on China in NATO’s new Strategic Concept — its once-a-decade set of priorities and goals. The last document, published in 2010, didn't mention China at all.
The new concept is expected to set out NATO’s approach on issues from cybersecurity to climate change — and the growing economic and military reach of China, and the rising importance and power of the Indo-Pacific region. For the first time, the leaders of Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand are attending the summit as guests.
Some European members are wary of the tough U.S. line on Beijing and don’t want China cast as an opponent.
In the Strategic Concept, NATO is set to declare Russia its number one threat.
Russia’s state space agency, Roscosmos marked the summit’s opening by releasing satellite images and coordinates of the Madrid conference hall where it is being held, along with those of the White House, the Pentagon and the government headquarters in London, Paris and Berlin.
The agency said NATO was set to declare Russia an enemy at the summit, adding that it was publishing precise coordinates "just in case."

Deborah James ‘taught us how to live and how to die’
By Sarah McDermott
BBC News
- Published
Podcast host and campaigner Dame Deborah James has died, after announcing in May that she was receiving end of life care for bowel cancer. With her candid persona and infectious sense of fun, the presenter of the BBC's You, Me and the Big C touched the lives of many.
"She was one of the most remarkable women I've ever met," says BBC 5 Live presenter Tony Livesey, a friend and colleague of Dame Deborah. "She had this incredible zest for life, even in the face of her own death."
Diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer at the age of 35 in December 2016, James said, "my entire world changed".
She was married to Sebastien Bowen, a banker, for 13 years, and with whom she had two children, Hugo and Eloise. After her diagnosis, she left her job as a deputy head teacher and began writing a blog, which went on to become her award-winning, weekly column Things Cancer Made Me Say, in The Sun online.
James then shot to fame as one of the presenters of the BBC podcast You, Me And The Big C alongside Lauren Mahon and Rachael Bland, in which the trio discussed the nitty-gritty of living with a cancer diagnosis.
"They didn't want to pussyfoot around it [cancer], they didn't want to use euphemistic language - they wanted to call it for what it was," says Livesey.
"But at the same time, Debs never dialled down the fun. If you looked at her social media - if she wasn't dancing in the street, or singing, she was laughing in the face of cancer."
Listen to You, Me and the Big C: Deborah James' Last Dance in which she talks about stopping active treatment for cancer
James was a patient at the Royal Marsden hospital, where she underwent more than a dozen operations and multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She also received experimental cancer treatment.
It was while in an anaesthetic daze following one operation that she ordered a poo costume online. Although it had been designed for a six-year-old, she would wear it on her social media feeds and while recording her podcast to raise awareness about bowel cancer.
"We need to break the poo taboo," she said. "People are embarrassed, they don't want to talk about poo, but let's face it, we all do it."
She never gave up on the joy she found in her friends and family
BBC presenter Rachel Burden, who interviewed James many times, says that as well as caring passionately about supporting others dealing with cancer, James was vibrant, articulate and full of fun.
"What struck me most was how she always lived her best life, whether that was dancing at home with her kids, or cracking jokes from a hospital bed - always smiling, always beautiful, always truthful," Burden says.
"She has taught us how to live and how to die, never giving up on the joy she found in the love for her friends and family. She was immense."
James' irreverent approach gave her wide appeal - she had huge numbers of followers - more than 100K on Twitter and almost as big a following on Instagram - and had campaigned with a number of national charities including Bowel Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK.
She went on to set up the Bowelbabe Fund - named after her online handle - to fund research into personalised medicine for cancer patients, and to support campaigns to raise awareness of bowel cancer.
"She took a stage three bowel cancer diagnosis and turned it into an incredible force for good," says Genevieve Edwards of Bowel Cancer UK.
A keen runner, James described herself as loving fashion, make-up and jewellery.
"She was absolutely not defined by her cancer," says Dr Philippa Kaye, a GP and fellow bowel cancer patient who was a friend of James.
"Mother, campaigner, influencer, charity fundraiser, runner, make-up lover - all of those things made up Deborah, not just cancer."
If you have been affected by any of these issues in this story you can visit BBC Action Line.
James wrote a book, F*** You Cancer: How to face the big C, live your life and still be yourself which was published in 2018, and had planned to release another, How to Live When You Could Be Dead.
"I've got some ends to tie up," James said on the final part of You, Me and The Big C, "which include wondering if my book will ever be published".
Within days of an announcement that publication would be brought forward, James' second book was topping the Amazon bestsellers list through pre-orders.
What are bowel cancer symptoms?
- A persistent change in bowel habit - going more often, with looser stools and sometimes tummy pain
- Blood in the stools without other symptoms, such as piles
- Abdominal pain, discomfort or bloating always brought on by eating

By January 2020, doctors had declared James cancer-free, but she later discovered that the disease had returned and that she would require further surgery.
"We always knew it was going to catch me in the end," she said.
James turned 40 in October 2021 - a milestone birthday she had been told she would never reach.
There was a huge outpouring of love for her, both from the public as well as from many celebrity voices, following a social media post in which she said she had to deliver "the message I never wanted to write". Within hours donations to her fund had easily surpassed the initial target of £250,000, and continue to grow.
Days later James was honoured with a damehood, presented to her by Prince William at her parents' Surrey home.
She visited the 2022 Chelsea Flower Show to see a flower named after her which she said she hoped might one day feature in her daughter's wedding bouquet.
The white rose with dark green, glossy foliage has helped raise more funds for James' Bowelbabe Fund - donations to which far exceeded her expectations.
"It makes me feel utterly loved," she told the BBC, "it makes me feel like we're all in it at the end together."

The Analyst Takeaways: An alliance or merger between Robinhood and FTX could bring together two companies with complementary business models, Repetto said in a note on Robinhood.
“A strategic partnership between HOOD and FTX could be a win-win scenario,” Repetto noted.
The analyst points to Robinhood having early success and being disruptive in the online trading sector. The company’s zero commission trading has been adopted by others, taking away a disruptive edge it had.
“While HOOD has a strategy of diversification, cost control, and continued product innovation, current consensus estimates do not have it reaching profitability until 2025,” he continued.
For growth, Robinhood is looking towards cryptocurrency and international markets. Robinhood launched crypto wallets and added additional cryptocurrencies to its platform in the second quarter.
FTX is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world and brings with it an international audience.
“FTX brings one of the largest, international spot and derivative crypto exchanges in the world and SBF’s innovation has potential to disrupt and disintermediate the futures clearing model of tomorrow,” the analyst said.
FTX is pushing into U.S. stock trading as one of its pillars of growth, a move that could increase its customer base and bring more people to its cryptocurrency platform.
“We believe HOOD’s culture of innovation and brokerage expertise, regulatory knowledge, and strong U.S. retail brand and presence could be highly desirable for FTX,” he noted.
Bankman-Fried acquired a 7.6% stake in Robinhood earlier this year, paying an average of $11.52 for Robinhood shares.
Aside from a merger or partnership with FTX, the analyst points to Robinhood having $6 billion of cash on its balance sheet.
One sticking point for a merger would be how the founders of Robinhood feel about a deal due to a dual-class share structure.
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood shares are down 2.80% to $8.87 on Tuesday at market close.

Which HP touch-screen laptop is best?
For many users, a laptop needs to offer versatility and accessibility, catering to those who use a machine for work or entertainment. A touch-screen laptop combines power and accessibility, serving users who enjoy streaming, browsing, collaborating, gaming and even working.
One of the computer industry leaders, HP features a range of touch-screen laptops for a variety of purposes. The Elitebook 850 G8 is HP’s latest top option, although it best serves business uses. Power, size and how and where you use your laptop will all influence finding the best HP touch-screen model available.
What to know before you buy an HP touch-screen laptop
Who will benefit from a touch-screen laptop?
Some users will benefit more than others from touch-screen laptops. Those who have a set workstation or desk at home may not find the versatility of a touch-screen laptop useful. On the other hand, for those who may enjoy browsing and enjoying content from the bed, couch or on the move, a touch-screen laptop offers immense convenience.
They are ideal for shopping online, watching content or playing games. Concerning work, those in design or other creative fields or anyone in a situation where they may need to collaborate and work with others will find a touch screen to make such tasks more efficient and precise. For more information on what else HP can offer, check out the buying guide at BestReviews.
Operating system
Most HP touch-screen laptops feature Windows 10, a popular and trusted operating system that typically comes with trials for security software as well as Microsoft Office. However, for those on a budget, or anyone who enjoys Google products, HP also offers a handful of touch-screen Chromebooks. Using Google OS, Chromebooks require a regular internet connection since most programs are online. These tend to be inexpensive, lightweight and low on storage.
Size
HP touch-screen laptops range in size from around 10 inches up to 17 inches; size is measured from one diagonal to the other. The size will influence weight and portability — smaller options are easier to wield and take with you on the go, but it limits the field of view and interaction.
Consider how you’ll use the laptop and what other devices you may have. For example, if you have a sizable monitor or a large TV that a laptop may connect to or cast to, a smaller option is likely ideal. On the other hand, if the touch-screen laptop is mostly used at home, maybe a large option is more viable.
What to look for in a quality HP touch-screen laptop
Convertible model
Convertible laptops feature a hinge that allows the device to open 180 degrees and sit flat on a surface or flipped over completely and be used as a tablet. This design allows for more versatile and convenient usages, especially when working with others or relaxing on a couch. In addition, the hinge is rigorously tested for durability and functionality.
Specs
Consider the RAM and storage options when investing in a new touchscreen laptop. Most HP models offer 8GB or 16GB of memory; more memory allows for smoother multitasking and the ability to switch between more intensive programs with ease. A couple of options offer 32GB for intense usage.
Most touchscreen laptops offer either 265GB or 512GB of storage, although a handful offer 1TB at a higher cost and increased size. Again, consider how often you’re working online and saving items against what kind of files you will keep on your laptop offline. For those with an external hard drive, a touch-screen laptop with a lot of storage may not be necessary.
Connectivity
Note the ports available on the laptop and what devices you may need to connect. Most feature at least one HDMI or DisplayPort input, both of which offer high-speed, faithful transmission of audio and video. At least one USB port is likely to be included as well.
How much you can expect to spend on an HP touch-screen laptop
HP touch-screen laptops vary widely in price due to size, power and usage. Chromebooks are on the lower end for around $300, while high-performance models can cost up to and more than $1,000.
HP touch-screen laptop FAQ
What’s the difference between the HP Envy series and HP Spectre series?
A. The HP Envy series features touch-screen laptops of both the traditional clamshell variety, which folds and opens like a normal laptop as well as the convertible form. Spectre touch-screen laptops currently are all convertible. Generally, Envy laptops start at a lower price and are suited for varied, casual use, while Spectre models are geared toward more intensive performance.
What kind of security features come with HP touch-screen laptops?
A. Most laptops feature a fingerprint reader to grant access, while some also include a facial recognition scanner to operate. Moreover, for those concerned about privacy online, certain models feature a webcam Kill Switch button to shut down video as well as a mute button to secure conversations. Finally, for those working, some options come with HP Wolf Security for Business to offer even more freedom and peace of mind for those working.

SEATTLE (AP) — Motorists will pay more for a Washington license plate starting July 1.
It’s likely to be the most noticeable change as parts of a $17 billion bill to pay for transportation projects in the state start taking effect, The Seattle Times reported.
On Friday, the price of a new plate will rise from $10 to $50, while replacing a lost plate will increase from $10 to $30. For motorcyclists, the cost of a license plate will go from $4 to $20 and a replacement will cost $12, also up from $4.
Money from license-plate fees has gone to a fund used for work on the state’s roads and highways. The additional money from the fees will go into an account earmarked for projects in the new transportation package.
The state issued around 1.5 million new plates in each of the last two years. The price bumps are projected to raise some $2 billion over the next 16 years.
A new carbon-trading system in Washington is also estimated to raise over $5 billion. Additionally, federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure bill is estimated to provide around $3.4 billion. The Legislature also approved a one-time, $2 billion transfer from the state’s general fund for transportation improvements.
The overall package was passed with almost no Republican votes — a change from previous measures that won bipartisan support.
While large portions of the $17 billion will go toward major highway projects — including a new Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia River, the Puget Sound Gateway project connecting Highway 167 to I-5, building a new Highway 520 bridge over Portage Bay in Seattle and more — it also spends heavily on transit and “active transportation” projects for walkers and bikers.
Additionally, the process for planning how Washington will meet its goals of phasing out new gas-powered cars by 2030 officially kicks off Friday, as does the process for cities to apply for state grants to expand transit service or facilities. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Washington-state-license-plates-prices-increase-17272260.php | 2022-06-28T21:37:28Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Washington-state-license-plates-prices-increase-17272260.php | false | 24 |
A passenger on board the Amtrak train that crashed into a truck and derailed in Missouri on Monday, killing four people, has described the accident as "hell on Earth."
Charles Hoffman was in one of the carriages that overturned at 12:42p.m. CT on the trip between Los Angeles and Chicago.
"I was riding backwards, so that was a blessing because I didn't fly forward on the impact, but all I heard was a bam, bang, boom," he said. "And all of a sudden the train dropped down, which I thought was probably when it went off track."
"And then it was like, bam, bam, bam, bam, riding down the wooden railroad ties."
"It overturned, fell to the left, and it skidded, skidded, skidded forever. I felt like it, anyway."
Hoffman said his window smashed and rocks from the tracks came streaming in.
Amtrak said the train was carrying about 243 passengers and 12 crew members when it collided with a dump truck at a crossing. Three passengers and the driver of the truck died and more than 100 more were injured.
Hoffman said in the moments after the crash, he tried to gain his bearings and see through the dust that filled the carriage.
"All I heard was, 'Are you OK? Anybody in here?" And I'm like, 'I'm in here,'" he said. "I had a long ways to go to get out, but I just kind of rolled my way out. I'm big guy and I kind of pushed my way up. I felt like I had Hercules strength with my adrenaline pumping."
Hoffman got to the top of the overturned carriage and said he was stuck up there for a while until onlookers showed him how to climb down the exposed wheels.
He was taken to hospital where staff tested him for cardiac issues because his heart rate was so high.
After a day in the emergency department, Hoffman said he finally made it home.
"The whole night when I was trying to fall asleep I kept getting flashbacks, and like visuals and things running through my head and it made it very hard to sleep," he said.
"I will say I'll never be on a train again for many years, many, many years."
"I feel blessed to be alive, but bumped up, bruised up, and kind of tattered and sore."
On Monday, the National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a 14-person team to investigate the incident.

ATLANTA (AP) — A British filmmaker who shot interviews with Donald Trump and his inner circle in the final months of the former president's administration has been subpoenaed to testify in a Georgia investigation into whether Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in the state.
Footage shot by Alex Holder includes interviews from the campaign trail, as well as footage shot before and after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. His lawyer, Russell Smith, confirmed Holder will appear before a special grand jury in Atlanta.
“Alex is cooperating, and he is to appear to testify on July 12,” Smith said in an email.
The special grand jury is part of an investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. In a letter sent to top state elected officials in February 2021, Willis said she was looking into “potential violations of Georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local government bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election’s administration.”
The subpoena, which is dated Tuesday, also demands: “All video footage and other materials related to the docuseries ‘Unprecedented.’”
The U.S. House committee investigating the Capitol attack also subpoenaed Holder's footage, and he said last week that he had complied with the congressional subpoena. Smith said last week that Holder sat for a two-hour deposition with the committee.
Holder has said his series had been bought by a streaming service and was to be released in three parts this summer. The hours of video footage includes exclusive interviews with Trump, his children and then-Vice President Mike Pence while on the campaign trail, Holder has said.
Willis, the prosecutor, began investigating possible illegal attempts to interfere in the state's general election shortly after she took office in January of last year. She asked earlier this year for a special grand jury to help the investigation. The panel was seated in May and this month began hearing from witnesses, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Willis has confirmed that her team is looking into a January 2021 phone call in which Trump pushed Raffensperger to “find” the votes needed for him to win the state. She has also said they are looking at a November 2020 phone call between U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.
Trump has repeatedly called his conversation with Raffensperger “perfect” and has denied any wrongdoing. Graham has also said he did nothing wrong.

Kentucky junior center Oscar Tshiebwe man-handled opposing frontcourts throughout the 2021-22 season, averaging 17.4 points and 15.1 rebounds to earn Southeastern Conference and consensus National Player of the Year honors.
The 6-foot-9, 255-pound Tshiebwe could have declared for the NBA Draft as a borderline first- or second-round draft pick. But with the chance to earn upwards of $2 million in Name, Image and Likeness deals at UK, according to Stadium.com’s Jeff Goodman, Tshiebwe opted to return to school, becoming the first national player of the year to do so since North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough in 2009.
Opportunities to earn NIL money have given college football and basketball players another option to ponder before making decisions to enter the pros as underclassmen.
Underclassmen still dominated the lottery of the 2022 NBA Draft. The first seven picks were players who left college either after their freshman or sophomore seasons. But more of the borderline first-round picks, such as Tshiebwe, Gonzaga forward Drew Timme, Indiana center Trayce Jackson-Davis and Michigan center Hunter Dickinson, opted to return to school. Timme has NIL deals with Dollar Shave Club, Boost Mobile and a Spokane, Washington, area casino, while Dickinson has a deal with Outback Steakhouse. Terms of all the deals were undisclosed.
“We all recognize that there was something for them to be had with another year of college basketball from a development standpoint and now also from a monetary standpoint, so it works for them,” Sporting News and Big Ten Network college basketball national analyst Mike DeCourcy said. “Whereas three years ago we were seeing …. a couple of dozen players or thereabouts who would leave early entry and not even get picked.”
First-round NBA Draft picks receive four-year contacts, with two years guaranteed and two team options. Most of the four-year contacts for NBA first-round rookies ranged from $20 million to $40 million in value.
Second-round picks come into the league with no guaranteed deals. Some can get stashed away in the NBA’s developmental league, the G League, on two-way contracts worth $250,000 annually.
Miami point guard Nijel Pack, a former All-Big 12 point guard, showed the earning potential a star college basketball player could generate in the NIL era when he agreed to a two-year, $800,000 deal to promote the app LiveWallet after transferring from Kansas State.
“That’s not an easy number to match,” DeCourcy said. “You’d have to be quite a college star to get that in Europe. You’d have to be a significant player, and you certainly aren’t going to get that as a G League regular.”
Indiana University basketball players Jackson-Davis and forward Race Thompson both earned money off NIL deals during the 2021-22 season, with Thompson appearing in a commercial for an Indiana bank.
“There's some little things, but I wouldn't say NIL was the reason I came back,” Thompson said. “It really was just about me becoming the player that I want to become, and then again trusting in these coaches to push me to be that player.”
Jackson-Davis, a former first-team All-Big Ten standout and likely preseason All-American, should cash in with more deals this year as the best and highest profile college player in a basketball-mad state.
“I wouldn't consider the NIL to be a big reason why I stayed even though I know there's probably going to be money there and opportunity there, which I'm blessed to be in that situation,” Jackson-Davis said. “Obviously, I'm going to use it to my advantage, but I'm here to play basketball, and I'll finish my degree.”
In football, Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford announced his return for the 2022 season before the school’s Outback Bowl appearance in Tampa. Last December, the soon-to-be fourth-year starter shared he would use an additional year of eligibility, his sixth with the program.
In April, Clifford announced the creation of Limitless NIL, believed at the time to be the first player-founded NIL agency. In an article with ESPN’s Pete Thamel during the rollout of Clifford’s company, the quarterback said he “made more than $100,000” in NIL deals in 2021. Clifford, however, didn’t explicitly cite his NIL returns in 2021 as the primary motivator for his return for another season.
He did credit his early experiences with the nascent changes and their potential long-term impact as driving forces for creating his agency. He hopes to take what he’s learned during the NIL process and help his colleagues in college athletics better navigate the space and understand its intricacies.
“I believe that where NIL is heading, there needs to be very strict direction,” Clifford said during the spring. “If there’s not, it can either go left or right. I would love to see, for the next generations to come, it can really be a life-changer for everybody.”
Including Clifford, Limitless NIL has seven employees. The quarterback’s younger brother, Penn State wide receiver Liam Clifford, is the company’s chief development officer. Former Penn State defensive lineman Aeneas Hawkins works as Limitless NIL’s chief athlete officer.
The client list for Limitless includes Penn State safety Ji’Ayir Brown and Penn State men’s and women’s basketball players Myles Dread and Anna Camden.
“We’d been working on that together for a while, just tag-teaming it,” Liam Clifford said this spring. “That’s been so much fun. I’ve learned so much. The most I’ve learned the last few months has been working with Limitless. Picking different CEO’s brains and doing a bunch of stuff like that, it’s been really fun.” | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/sports/nil-a-factor-in-players-returning-to-school/article_9b8e1764-f71f-11ec-a814-9b76a55c9aa8.html | 2022-06-28T21:43:27Z | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/sports/nil-a-factor-in-players-returning-to-school/article_9b8e1764-f71f-11ec-a814-9b76a55c9aa8.html | false | 11 |

Taking control of your finances is a very important step that I believe everyone should take. However, it’s understandable that the process may be a bit daunting to some. This is especially true today, as investors have to deal with immense volatility in the stock market. Regardless, there are principles that new investors should follow regardless of what the market looks like. In this article, I’ll discuss three stocks you should buy to start your portfolio.
Start with a company you’re familiar with
When looking for stocks to add to a new portfolio, it would be a good idea to start by looking at companies you’re already familiar with. This is because you should already be familiar with how those companies work and how they generate revenue. Knowing all of that beforehand can allow you to spend more time looking for other companies to add to your portfolio. For example, think of the company you bank with. If you’re pleased with the service you receive, I’d suggest buying shares of that company.
Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS)(NYSE:BNS) is an example of a very popular bank across Canada. It’s a member of the Big Five, a group of leading banking companies which stand atop the Canadian banking industry. Bank of Nova Scotia has been a solid performer over its history, providing investors with a steady return. It also pays shareholders an attractive dividend, and it has been doing so for the past 189 years. If you’re stuck on a stock to add to your portfolio, Bank of Nova Scotia and similar companies could be a place to start.
Look for companies with good cash flow
New investors should also keep in mind whether a company has good cash flow. This is important because it could help companies survive during recessions and other periods of economic uncertainty. An example of a company with excellent cash flow would be insurance companies. These businesses tend to receive a steady flow of cash each month via premiums paid by their customers. However, insurance companies lose money when covering claims, which, if you’re familiar with any insurance company, they don’t tend to be very eager to pay.
Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC)(NYSE:MFC) is one insurance company that new investors should consider buying for their portfolios. With about $1 trillion of assets under management, it’s the largest insurance company in Canada and one of the largest in the world. Manulife’s excellent cash flow has allowed it to increase its dividend in each of the past seven years.
Invest in Dividend Aristocrats
If you haven’t noticed by now, the stocks that I’ve been suggesting that new investors add to their portfolios tend to be dividend payers. This is because dividend stocks tend to be much less volatile than growth stocks. In addition, historically, dividend stocks have outperformed growth stocks during market corrections. When looking for the best dividend stocks to invest in, investors should consult the list of Canadian Dividend Aristocrats. This is a list of companies that have grown dividend distributions for at least five consecutive years.
Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR)(NYSE:CNI) is an example of a great dividend stock to consider. It has increased its dividend in each of the past 25 years. That makes it one of only 11 TSX-listed companies to achieve that milestone. A leader in an important industry, Canadian National should continue to see a lot of demand in the coming years. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/28/new-investor-start-a-portfolio-with-these-3-stocks/ | 2022-06-28T21:44:47Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/28/new-investor-start-a-portfolio-with-these-3-stocks/ | false | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee held a surprise hearing Tuesday delivering alarming new testimony about Donald Trump’s angry, defiant and vulgar actions as he ignored repeated warnings against summoning the mob to the Capitol and then refused to intervene to stop the deadly violence as rioters laid siege.
Witness Cassidy Hutchinson, a lesser-known White House aide, rebuffed Trump's team warnings against testifying and provided first-hand knowledge of what she saw and heard in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, a proximity to power that gives stunning new details in the panel’s year-long investigation.
With calm, detailed recollections, Hutchinson testified about a defiant Trump who knew there were guns and other weapons in the rally crowd at the White House, sent his supporters to the Capitol anyway and tried unsuccessfully to physically pry the steering wheel from his presidential limousine driver so he could join them.
Before joining the White House, Hutchinson had worked in some of the most conservative Republican offices on Capitol Hill. She was hired as special assistant to the president and promoted up to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Here are highlights from the sixth hearing.
ANGRY, DEFIANT, VULGAR TRUMP
Trump was angry and defiant on the morning of Jan. 6, as he assessed the size of the crowd for his rally in front of the White House, upset that not everyone who had answered his summons to come to Washington could get in to see him because of the security lines.
Told that guns, knives and other weapons were being confiscated from the security screenings, Trump didn’t care. “They’re not here to hurt me,” the president said. He wanted to take away the magnetometer stations to allow more people inside the grounds, regardless of their weaponry.
“Take the effing mags away,” an agitated Trump barked at security moments before taking the stage, Hutchinson recalled.
WHITE HOUSE LAWYERS WORRY OF CRIMES
Trump’s lawyers at the White House were trying to tamp down the president’s speech to the crowd he had summoned for his “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, and they were trying to stop his plans to go to the Capitol that day when Congress would be certifying the election results for Joe Biden's victory.
Hutchinson testified that lawyer Eric Herschmann said it “would be foolish” to include some of the language the defeated president wanted to add to his speech — comments like fighting for Trump, or him telling the crowd “I’ll be there with you.” Herschmann warned such language shouldn’t be included for legal concerns and because of the optics it would portray.
That language ultimately stayed in the script as Trump rallied the crowd to “fight like hell” and promised he would join them at the Capitol.
Days before Jan. 6, White House counsel Pat Cipollone suggested there were “serious legal concerns” if Trump went to the Capitol with the crowd, Hutchinson recalled.
“We need to make sure this doesn’t happen,” she recalled Cipollone saying in the run-up to the rally.
The morning of Jan. 6, Cipollone restated his concerns that if Trump did go to the Capitol to intervene in the certification of the election, “We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable.”
Hutchinson then described what happened after the rally as Trump climbed into the presidential limousine, the “beast," as it is called, as relayed to her later by Trump's deputy chief of staff for operations.
Trump, inside the vehicle, tried to pry the steering wheel away from the driver, demanding to be taken to the Capitol.
PROXIMITY TO POWER, AND KETCHUP
The hearing opened with a calm, even-spoken Hutchinson explaining her job responsibilities advising Meadows, often handling his cell phones, as the committee showed an architectural rendering of the layout of the West Wing.
Hutchinson's office was situated between the Oval Office on one side and Meadow’s office on the other. Hers was also next to that of the vice president’s staff.
She had an upfront view of conversations across the offices and beyond.
Hutchinson described fielding a desperate phone call as she stood backstage at Trump's rally that day from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who was upset that Trump had sent the crowd to the Capitol when she had promised they would not go.
She also told of helping the White House staff mop up ketchup off the walls of the Oval Office dining room after Trump, learning that his attorney general, William Barr, told The Associated Press there was no fraud on a scale to tip the presidential election, apparently hurled a plate of food at the wall.
In one gripping scene Hutchinson recalled walking Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani out of the White House when he asked if she was "excited about the 6th.”
“We’re going to the Capitol, it’s going to be great, the president’s going to be there, he’s going to look powerful,” she recalled Giuliani saying.
When she returned inside and told Meadows of that conversation, he told her a lot was going on.
“Things might get real, real bad,” Meadows told her, she recalled.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — At least 2 million Americans don’t have running water or a working toilet at home, a crisis that costs the U.S. economy $8.58 billion each year, according to a report released Tuesday by nonprofit DigDeep.
These water access issues disproportionately impact Indigenous tribes, people of color, immigrants, low-income people and those living in rural areas -- communities that have been largely excluded from past investments in water infrastructure, according to the report.
“Closing the water access gap will help correct these inequities, and directly benefit underserved communities," the report says.
California-based DigDeep compiled the report, “Draining: The Economic Impact of America’s Hidden Water Crisis," using U.S. Census and other data to estimate the price tag of life without a toilet or tap.
The study found households without water and sanitation access spend an average of $15,800 a year more than other households in healthcare costs, lost productivity at work and at school and other issues. Purchasing bottled drinking water costs a family an average of $1,350 a year — an estimated $291 million for all households living without access across the country.
In many cases, those costs amount to more than that household’s annual income.
“People are really feeling this at the gas pump and in their home budgets and no one’s feeling it more than people who are already spending a third or half of their monthly income just to get enough water to survive,” DigDeep CEO and Founder George McGraw told The Associated Press.
Families living in places like West Virginia and Navajo Nation in the western U.S. spend hours each week hauling water from streams, wells, or grocery stores, McGraw said. They have a higher risk of waterborne disease, diabetes, physical injury and acute mental stress.
The report estimates that the increased risk of disease, physical injuries from hauling water, and greater overall healthcare bills that come from lack of water and sanitation access across the U.S. cost a total average of $762 million a year. Each year, the water access gap causes 219,000 cases of waterborne illness and kills an estimated 610 people, according to the report.
In 2019, DigDeep released a report with US Water Alliance revealing that more than 2.2 million Americans live without running water or a flush toilet at home.
“Now we are finally able to measure the true magnitude of those impacts in real dollars. We must close the water access gap," McGraw said. "As this report shows, we can’t afford not to.”
The report suggests a number of recommendations to close the water gap, including that Congress appropriate around $42 billion in new spending to create long-term, sustainable water and sanitation access for all Americans. That includes $18.4 billion over the next 10 years.
DigDeep estimates that closing the water access gap could create nearly $200 billion of economic value over the next 50 years. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Report-Lack-of-water-access-costs-U-S-8-6B-17272418.php | 2022-06-28T21:50:58Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Report-Lack-of-water-access-costs-U-S-8-6B-17272418.php | true | 18 |
Colombian prison riot sparks fire, killing 51 people
By Stefano Pozzebon, CNN
A fire inside an overcrowded Colombian prison killed 51 inmates in the early hours of Tuesday morning, authorities said, marking one of the deadliest incidents of its kind in the country’s recent history.
The fire broke out amid a chaotic scene inside the penitentiary in the western Colombian city of Tolua.
At about 2 a.m. local time, a fight broke out among prisoners, according to Colombian Justice Minister Wilson Ruiz. One inmate set a mattress ablaze during the brawl, and flames spread across the prison wing, Ruiz said at a news conference Tuesday.
“The penitentiary personnel tried to take care of it themselves, but the flames were too strong and we had to wait for the arrival of the firefighters to control the situation,” Ruiz said.
Twenty-four people were injured, including an unspecified number of guards.
The prison is a middle-security penitentiary where inmates serve either minor sentences or finish the last few months of their incarceration, Ruiz said.
Colombian prisons are notoriously overcrowded. On average, most are 20% over capacity, Ruiz said. The penitentiary where the fire broke out in Tolua, however, was 17% over capacity, making it one of the country’s least overpopulated prisons, he added.
Deadly fighting and rioting in prisons are not uncommon in Colombia and neighboring countries. In March 2020, 24 inmates died in a riot in the Picota penitentiary in Bogota as they were protesting coronavirus measures within the penitentiary system.
The previous year, more than 50 were killed — including 16 who were decapitated — in a Brazilian prison. And scores were killed in a blaze that broke out at a jail in Venezuela in 2018.

- AUD/USD bears are in control, for now, and target a break of 0.6900.
- The bulls could be lurking not far below.
As per the prior series of analyses this week so far, AUD/USD Price Analysis: A break from 0.6950 is on the cards, AUD/USD bulls seek a break of 0.6925 for 0.6950 target area, AUD/USD Price Analysis: The break into 0.6930s has summoned the bulls to target the 0.6950s, the pair continues to play the ranges but the bias stays with the upside longer-term.
AUD/USD daily chart scenarios
The M-formation's neckline failed to fend off the bulls and the high lows may have invalidated the bearish prospects of a move towards 0.67 and 0.66 in the meantime.
Instead, as illustrated below, the volume profile and price imbalances to the upside could make for a path of least resistance as follows:
AUD/USD H1 chart sell-buy scenario
From a shorter-term outlook, there is the possibility of a liquidity grab from below high volume areas into buyer's protective stops and fresh sell orders in anticipation of a longer-term bear trend, encouraged by the moves lower from 0.6950.
If this were to play out, then 0.6870/80 could be an area of renewed demand as per the mod point of the bullish order block. A short squeeze could eventuate in a surge higher and a bullish trend into higher liquidity and price imbalance mitigations on the daily chart.

MADRID (AP) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the NATO summit in Madrid this week aims to showcase the Western allies’ united front in defense of democratic values in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while increasing the bloc’s deterrence capabilities.
In an interview with The Associated Press a day before the summit begins Tuesday, he reiterated that the alliance would not tolerate any territorial aggression against its members.
“We have to transmit a message of deterrence, that we are ready to defend every centimeter of allied territory,” Sánchez said.
Russian President Vladimir “Putin is not just invading Ukraine. What he wants is to destabilize, weaken the security, the prosperity of Europe.”
Speaking at the palace that hosts the prime minister’s office and residence in Madrid, Sánchez said the chief aim of the NATO summit was to send “a message of unity in line with democracy, security, international order, based on rules that, unfortunately, Putin and the Russian Federation have blown to smithereens with the invasion of Ukraine.”
A key issue will be boosting NATO’s military presence on its eastern flank, as well as satisfying Spain’s demand to not ignore budding threats on the southern fringe of the alliance, especially from unstable African areas such as the Sahel.
NATO’s secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg, said Monday the alliance will increase the size of its rapid reaction force to 300,000 troops. The force currently has about 40,000 soldiers.
Stoltenberg also said the allies will discuss how to respond to the growing influence of Russia and China in NATO’s “southern neighborhood.”
The Madrid summit, which opens with a state dinner Tuesday followed by discussions on Wednesday, was announced a year ago with eyes set on a new “Strategic Concept,” the once-in-a-decade renewal of vows by NATO members that outlines the threats to the alliance and its response.
But after Moscow launched its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, a key issue has become Finland and Sweden’s ending of their non-aligned and neutrality stance to apply for NATO membership, something that has greatly irked Russia.
NATO’s proclaimed unity is being put to test on the issue, as Turkey, which has the second-biggest army in the alliance after the United States, is looking for guarantees from Finland and Sweden regarding Kurdish groups that Ankara regards as terrorists.
The leaders of the three countries announced they would hold a special meeting Tuesday in Madrid.
“The incorporation of Finland and Sweden, before or after, will be made possible,” Sánchez told the AP. “We would like it to be in the Madrid summit, I don’t deny it but, evidently, if it’s not the case, the talks will continue.”
Sánchez, a Socialist politician who has led Spain’s first national coalition government since early 2020, is facing criticism from Unidas Podemos (United We Can), a far-left party that holds five of the 22 seats in the Cabinet, for its backing of NATO’s military commitment to Ukraine.
Some United We Can members have said they won’t back Spain’s national budget next year if it increases military spending while Spaniards grapple with runaway inflation and other economic hardship.
Without specifying a timeframe, Sánchez said Spain was committed to increasing its defense budget from just over 1% of GDP — the second-lowest share of all European NATO members — to the 2% committed by all allies “in the next decade.”
Two of the most-watched items at the summit will be Russia and China when it comes to NATO’s new strategic roadmap for the next 10 years.
Sánchez said the “Strategic Concept,” which was last updated in Lisbon in 2010, will see Russia transformed from being considered a NATO partner to becoming “the principal threat to the security of the Atlantic Alliance.”
Regarding China, Sánchez said that Beijing “represents a challenge that also offers opportunities for collaboration,” indicating that Spain doesn’t support classifying Beijing’s assertiveness as a threat, as some allies may want.
Pressed by the global disruption the Ukraine war is unleashing on energy and food supplies and the prospect of a serious recession, some European leaders have started to call for a negotiated end of the war, even if that involves territorial sacrifices by Ukraine.
But Sánchez steered clear of supporting those calls.
“It’s a decision that Ukraine must take, not us,” he said. | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/international/ap-international/the-ap-interview-spanish-pm-says-nato-summit-to-show-unity/ | 2022-06-28T22:06:02Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/international/ap-international/the-ap-interview-spanish-pm-says-nato-summit-to-show-unity/ | false | 42 |

PHILADELPHIA, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud allegations on behalf of investors who purchased the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. ("FHS" or the "Company") (NYSE: FHS) on or traceable to the Company's March 2021 initial public offering (the "Class Period").
If you purchased the ADSs of FHS during the Class Period, would like to discuss Berger Montague's investigation, or have questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact attorneys Andrew Abramowitz at aabramowitz@bm.net or (215) 875-3015, or Michael Dell'Angelo at mdellangelo@bm.net or (215) 875-3080 or visit: https://investigations.bergermontague.com/first-high-school-education-group/
Whistleblowers: Anyone with non-public information regarding FHS is encouraged to confidentially assist Berger Montague's investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.
According to the complaint, FHS, its senior management, and the underwriters of its IPO made materially false statements in the IPO offering documents and failed to disclosed that: (i) the new rules, regulations, and policies to be implemented by the Chinese government following the Two Sessions parliamentary meetings were far more severe than represented; and (ii) the regulations being considered by the Chinese government were leading to a slowdown of government approval to open new educational facilities which would have a negative effect on FHS's enrollment and growth.
Soon after the IPO, media reports stated that attendees of the Two Sessions conference had proposed stricter regulations to rein in the for-profit education industry. On May 12, 2021, news reports revealed that the impending government crackdown on for-profit educational companies in China would be much more drastic and far reaching than previously publicly known. Then, on May 14, 2021, China's state council announced rules that it would further tighten regulations on compulsory education and training institutions.
Thereafter, on July 23, 2021, China unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its education sector, banning companies that teach the school curriculum from making profits, raising capital, or going public. These drastic measures effectively ended any potential growth in the for-profit tutoring sector in China.
By May 10, 2022, FHS ADSs closed below $1 per ADS – more than 90% below the price at which they were sold in the IPO.

Rossen Reports: 911 can find you faster with this new technology
When you call 911, minutes are what separate you or someone you love from life or death in a serious emergency.
Data shows that 80% of 911 calls come from a mobile device but dispatch centers can struggle to find them. Now, new technology is cutting down 911 response time by pinpointing the caller's location.
AT&T is partnering with Intrado to introduce a new feature called Locate Before Route. It automatically transmits wireless 911 calls to the appropriate dispatch centers on a nationwide basis. Calls are now routed quicker and more accurately.
Watch the story above: See the new technology in action with our Chief National Consumer Correspondent Jeff Rossen.
Usually when someone calls 911, the call pings off a cell phone tower and gets routed to a dispatch center based on the location of the tower. But whatever tower that call hit is just a point of reference for 911. It’s not the exact location.
Now, the cell phone tower is almost getting taken out as the middleman. The caller's phone and its GPS provide a precise location.
JR Luna is the Vice President and General Manager for the state of Florida with AT&T.
“Prior to this technology, we were using cell sites, which could be up to a 10-mile radius from your call. This really allows first responders to know within 50 yards where an emergency could be happening," Luna said.
That’s right, the location of 911 calls will shrink from 10 miles to 50 yards. That’s half of a football field!
"This will shave seconds off of emergency calls and it will make a difference for emergency responders getting to emergencies faster," Luna said.
Dan Koenig is the senior manager for 911 Program Services for the Public Safety Department in Palm Beach County. Koenig said this technology will play a huge part in saving lives.
“Cell phone towers can be several miles away. So your call can go to other jurisdictions," Koenig said.
That means that when someone calls 911, it could go to another county based on the location of the tower that picked up the call.
“It could go to the city next door. The call taker would have to go through and question the person, taking up some time and then they would have had to transfer the call," Koenig said. “When you’re dialing 911, you’re already in some sort of distress. This way we can help the caller and ease them.”
Just like apps that use GPS to find and locate users, that's all being tied into 911.
“When 911 was first developed, it was before we had smartphones.” Vice President of Technology for Intrado John Snapp said. “The challenge was that 911 isn’t an app on your phone that’s running. The phone has it, but we couldn’t get it off the phone ... Now it’s using that exact location. We’re able to get that location off your phone and utilize it. And also use the other location that we had before which is where the network would ask the phone for the location.”
Snapp said 911 is getting the best of all the worlds now thanks to this technology.
Situations this will really help save lives in:
- The caller gets into an accident or an emergency but doesn't know their location
- A child calls 911 but doesn’t know their address.
- The 911 caller isn't able to speak
- The caller is in a location in which a further dispatcher could pick up the call rather than a closer one.
AT&T users don't need to do anything to get the feature. There’s no switch to flip or button to tap. It’s automatic no matter what type of phone you have.
Verizon said it also uses an Emergency Call Server platform which allows Verizon to locate a device and route the call to the most efficient public safety answering point. T-Mobile says it launched location-based routing and has been working with public safety answering points to implement it. | https://www.wlky.com/article/rossen-reports-911-new-technology/40448042 | 2022-06-28T22:11:17Z | https://www.wlky.com/article/rossen-reports-911-new-technology/40448042 | true | 20 |
Robert Milkins made a winning start to the new season by topping Group 24 at the Championship League, the first ranking event of the campaign at Leicester's Morningside Arena.
The Gibraltar Open champion rolled in breaks of 78 and 69 to defeat Sanderson Lam 3-0 before knocks of 63 and 67 helped him complete a 3-1 victory over Allan Taylor.

With Andy Hicks defeating Taylor and Lam respectively by the same 3-1 margin, Milkins only needed a draw with Hicks to ensure his spot in stage two.

Hicks made 93 and 61 to start and finish the match, but Milkins did enough to win the group by edging out the 1995 world semi-finalist in claiming the second and third frames.
“I think it’s worse sometimes when you know when you only need to nick a point," said Milkins. "He was a better player than me in that match and he deserved to win it. It’s just the way it goes sometimes.
It’s a slow start to the season so it keeps you motivated and keeps you wanting to practice. I haven’t played much, to be honest. My table hasn’t been great.
"I am getting it reclothed in a week’s time then I can really start to put some hours in. I played okay today. I played well in patches. I thought I played solid in the first two matches.
"Overall, I am quite pleased. I have nothing to lose now. I just keep going. Even today, I felt like the weight was off my shoulders.”
Aaron Hill made a break of 101 in a 3-0 win against Craig Steadman with 2-2 draws against David Grace and Ben Hancorn securing his progress from Group 13.
Grace finished on five points alongside Hill, but needed a 3-0 victory over Steadman and a higher break than 101 to advance.
In the end, a 3-1 success saw him edged out by Hill on frame difference following earlier 2-2 draws with Hancorn and Hill.
32 winners from stage one will progress to contest eight groups in stage two between 25-27 July with the final on 29 July.

The former governor of the central banks of Canada and England says the risk of a recession in the United States and globally is “uncomfortably high” but that Canada is likely to fare better in a slowdown than most other countries.
Mark Carney predicted the severity of an economic malaise, which could begin within the next year, won’t match that the one that was triggered by the financial crisis.
“That recession, if it comes, will be relatively mild. This isn’t 2008, for [the U.S.], but it’s also not 2001 either,” Mr. Carney said at an Alberta Relaunch 2022 conference in Calgary.
A recession won’t be as painful as the last global one because there aren’t the same imbalances in the U.S. economy. The banks are not in as precarious a situation, and there is not the same oversupply of houses and cars. Meanwhile, consumer finances are not in as rough shape as 2008, he said. “People are starting to be crimped, but, on the whole, they are not over their skis in debt,” Mr. Carney said.
However, it may surpass the recession that accompanied the dot-com crash of 2000-2001, when central banks were better positioned than today to “flood in support” to limit the damage. In addition, at that time the world was in the process of liberalizing trade, which helped the situation, he said.
Today, Canada, and Alberta in particular, can take advantage of global energy systems that are undergoing a shift to lower-carbon sources, and that can buoy our economy.
“We are in a better position than virtually every other country,” Mr. Carney said. “We have the potential to have the benefit of what’s needed in the reworking of the energy system and the transition, which is why need to act with speed so that we get the investment and the knock-on benefits from that.”

Here are the highest-paid NBA players for the 2022-23 season originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Russell Westbrook is locking in a major payday for next season.
The Los Angeles Lakers point guard reportedly plans to pick up his $47.06 million player option for the 2022-23 season.
Westbrook declining the option to hit free agency would have been an absolute stunner, as he likely wasn’t going to be able to fetch anything close to that massive salary figure on the open market. The nine-time All-Star, who turns 34 in November, is coming off the worst season of his 14-year career.
So as Westbrook plays out the final season of the five-year, $206.8 million supermax deal he signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder back in 2017, where does he rank among the NBA’s highest-paid players for 2022-23?
Who are the highest-paid NBA players?
Not only is Westbrook the highest-paid Laker over both LeBron James and Anthony Davis for next season, but he’s also close to being the highest-paid player in the entire league.
Sports
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is the only player set to earn a higher base salary than Westbrook in 2022-23 at $48.07 million. However, if James Harden exercises his $47.3 million player option with the Philadelphia 76ers, he would take over second place from Westbrook.
The second-highest-salary slot was occupied by John Wall until he took a buyout from the Houston Rockets that saw him surrender $6.5 million. Wall now sits 10th in the NBA at $40.8 million, though he will be tacking onto that total whenever he signs with a new team, which reportedly is expected to be the Los Angeles Clippers.
Westbrook is one spot ahead of teammate LeBron James, who will make $44.4 million next season. Like Westbrook, James is entering the final year of his contract.
Two of Westbrook’s former teammates are right behind James, with Kevin Durant ($42.9 million) in fourth and Paul George ($42.4 million) in fifth. But George may not be long for the top five.
If Bradley Beal declines his $36.4 million player option, he’d be eligible for a five-year, $248 million deal from the Washington Wizards in the upcoming free agency period. That mammoth contract would have a starting salary of $42.7 million and move Beal into fifth ahead of George.
Ahead of free agency, here’s a look at the 30 highest-paid players by base salary for next season, according to Spotrac:
1. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors: $48,070,014
2. Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Lakers: $47,063,478
3. LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers: $44,474,988
4. Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets: $42,969,845
5. Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers: $42,492,568

T-6. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers: $42,492,492
T-6. Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers: $42,492,492
9. John Wall, free agent (from Houston Rockets): $40,866,760
10. Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors: $40,600,080
11. Rudy Gobert, Utah Jazz: $38,172,414
12. Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers: $37,980,720
13. Khris Middleton, Milwaukee Bucks: $37,948,276
14. Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat: $37,653,300
15. Tobias Harris, Philadelphia 76ers: $37,633,050
T-16. Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks: $36,600,000
T-16. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks: $36,600,000
18. Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets: $36,503,300
T-19. Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors: $35,448,672
T-19. Ben Simmons, Brooklyn Nets: $35,448,672
T-21. Kristaps Porzingis, Washington Wizards: $33,833,400

Saving strategies change as inflation continues climb
More Americans keeping cash on hand
InvestigateTV - Rising inflation has led to a significant change in the way Americans are saving money, according to a recent Nerdwallet survey, as 7 in 10 consumers said they’re switching up their penny-pinching habits.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in June that inflation rose 8.6% over the last year.
The survey also found consumers are keeping more money in their checking accounts.
Chanelle Bessette, a personal finance and banking expert with NerdWallet, said some savers are choosing riskier alternatives like cryptocurrency.
“Even if folks have been trying to change around their savings strategy, to compensate for inflation, they actually could start looking into savings accounts again as an option because rates have started going up,” Bessette said.
Bessette said it’s important for consumers to keep cash on hand in case of an emergency and to shop around for the best interest rate.
She added that is important to keep comparison shopping for the next several months if interest rates change, to make sure you’re getting the best return on your money.

AUGSBURG, Germany (KTSM) – Ricardo Pepi finally found the back of the net for FC Augsburg.
The San Elizario native that was sold to the Bundesliga side from MLS’ FC Dallas back in January, scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 5-0 preseason victory over TSV Schwaben Augsburg on Tuesday.
Though the goal won’t count towards his official total for the 2022-23 season, it had to feel good for the 19-year-old striker from the Borderland.
After scoring 13 goals in his final season with FC Dallas in 2021, Pepi failed to find the back of the net for Augsburg in 11 Bundesliga matches after his transfer went through.
His goal in an early preseason match could be a sign of things to come for the young star, who played a big role for the United States Men’s National Team during 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying.
The 2022-23 Bundesliga season officially gets underway August 6 vs. SC Freiburg. | https://www.ktsm.com/sports/local-sports/ricardo-pepi-nets-goal-for-fc-augsburg-in-preseason-match/ | 2022-06-28T22:20:40Z | https://www.ktsm.com/sports/local-sports/ricardo-pepi-nets-goal-for-fc-augsburg-in-preseason-match/ | true | 1 |

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Stitt was a political outsider when he first ran for and won office in 2018. Now, with his GOP opponents polling in single digits, Stitt is largely expected to cruise to victory in Tuesday's primary.
The governor, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has largely held to familiar party lines, signing a bill to allow for the permitless carry of firearms and resuming capital punishment in the state, following two botched executions in 2014 and 2015.
Stitt has also touted that he would sign every bill in opposition to abortion that came to his desk, and he's arguably done that. In May, he signed into law a bill that was deemed at the time the most restrictive abortion bill in the country, which effectively banned all abortions beginning at fertilization.
But, Stitt's administration has come under fire over the misspending of pandemic relief funds, accusations of improper pressure put upon the state's pardon and parole board and a scandal involving a local barbecue chain operating restaurants at state parks.
Stitt is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, but his tense standoff with Oklahoma tribes following the McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling in 2020 has drawn the ire of many, including those inside his own party. During a legislative fight with the governor last month, one lawmaker classified Stitt's behavior toward tribes as "racist and hateful."
The Democrats
On the other side of the ticket, two women are vying to be the Democratic nominee for governor.
The state's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Joy Hofmeister, flipped her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat last fall claiming Stitt had hijacked her former party. She has criticized Stitt's handling of the pandemic and referred to his leadership as divisive and ineffective.
Even in a ruby red state where more than half of voters are registered Republicans and just 31% are registered Democrats, Hofmeister is expected to give Stitt some competition in the general election. But, she will first have to hold off former state lawmaker Connie Johnson on Tuesday.
While Republican primaries are closed in Oklahoma, Democratic primaries are open to Independent voters.
U.S. Senate
A crowded field of 13 Republicans is vying to fill the remainder of longtime U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe's term. Inhofe, who has held the seat since 1994, announced in February he was retiring at the end of the year.
Leading the race to replace him is U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin and former Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon. Both are enrolled citizens of tribal nations - Mullin is Cherokee and Shannon is Chickasaw. If either is elected, they will become the only current Indigenous U.S. senator and just the fifth in the history of the Senate.
Other candidates include state Sen. Nathan Dahm, Inhofe's chief of staff Luke Holland and Scott Pruitt, who led the Environmental Protection Agency under President Trump for less than two years before months of ethics scandals and investigations led to his resignation.
The race is likely headed for an August runoff, with the top two candidates advancing.
In the other U.S. Senate primary, incumbent James Lankford is heavily favored against Tulsa pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, who has been endorsed by Trump allies Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@icorio.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 icorio.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.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) operates as a technology infrastructure provider and offers marketing reach to businesses with their users and customers. The company operates through its Core Commerce; Cloud Computing; Digital Media and Entertainment; and Innovation Initiatives and Other segments. It is based in Hangzhou, China.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) came in at 7.2% for BABA, indicating a low return. However, the company’s capital employment and revenue have increased, indicating business growth.
Over the past year, BABA’s stock declined 48% to close its last trading session at $118.73. It has gained 27.1% over the past month and 11.6% over the past five days.
Here are the factors that could affect BABA’s performance in the near term:
Mixed Financials
For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, BABA’s revenue increased 8.9% year-over-year to $32.19 billion. Income from operations came in at $2.64 billion, up substantially from its negative year-ago value. On the other hand, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per ADS decreased 24.5% and 23% from the prior-year period to $3.12 billion and $1.25.
Mixed Profit Margins
BABA’s trailing-12-month EBITDA margin, net income margin, and levered FCF margin of 15.74%, 7.30%, and 6.78% are 29.9%, 14.1%, and 99% higher than the respective industry averages of 12.11%, 6.39%, and 3.41%.

Mixed Analyst Expectations
The consensus EPS estimate of $1.54 for the quarter ending June 2022 indicates a 40.1% year-over-year decrease. Likewise, the consensus revenue estimate for the same quarter of $30.61 billion reflects a decline of 5.5% from the prior-year quarter.
However, Street EPS estimate for fiscal 2024 of $8.86 reflects a rise of 20.2% year-over-year. Likewise, Street revenue estimate for the same year of $155.60 billion indicates an improvement of 13.2% from the prior year.

Bottom Line
The company’s top-line growth is promising. However, its bottom line has declined in its most recent quarter. Moreover, the stock is trading above its 50-day moving average but below its 200-day moving average. Also, with analysts expecting the company’s revenue and EPS to decline in the ongoing quarter, I think it might be wise to wait for a better entry point in the stock.
How Does Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) Stack Up Against its Peers?
While BABA has an overall POWR Rating of C, one might consider looking at its industry peers, Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (FFHL), which has an overall A (Strong Buy) rating, and NetEase, Inc. (NTES) and FinVolution Group (FINV), which have an overall B (Buy) rating.

Before deciding to divorce, Barry and Kim tried living apart from each other.
As seen on their reality show, Kim moved out of the family home.
She shared in a confessional: "Barry and I have decided to live separately for a while.
"The easiest way to do that right now is whenever one of our rental properties is vacant, I pack a bag and I go and I stay there."
She continued: "I never thought it would be like this. It's just a time of a lot of change right now, and I'm not sure exactly what that's going to look like."
Barry made an attempt to salvage their marriage, according to Kim.
"Barry tried for a little bit, but at some point, I felt like he's not really trying," she said.
Meanwhile, he admitted: "Looking back on my relationship, I think I just missed lots of opportunities to show Kim I love her. Like taking time to go out on a date, that was a concept that I couldn't put action to."

Virginia Beach — Joe Maloney and Kalven Kolvas share a love of water.
The Navy pals — Maloney is a senior chief and Kolvas is a retired chief — had worked in explosive ordnance disposal and deployed to Iraq together in 2011. Two years ago over some beers, the two decided to create a business focused around the water with a fun experience in mind.
In July 2021, they launched Chesapeake Bay Pedal Club as Virginia Beach’s premier cycleboat pub.
“After years of being beer-loving connoisseurs, we always thought the pedal pubs in Nashville were an awesome idea that combined the outdoors, beer and fun with family and friends,” Maloney said. “We thought how cool it would be to have one on the water.”
After some research, Maloney found a company that custom-builds human-powered pontoon boats with a paddle wheel. The boat features 10 cycle stations facing a bar with built-in coolers, a seating area and a bathroom.
The concept is simple. Everybody pedals together and it turns the paddle wheel at the rear of the boat that propels it forward. “We do have an engine so people don’t have to pedal if they want to just relax and enjoy the ride,” Maloney said.
The 37-foot boat can reach speeds of 3-4 knots when everybody is pedaling, but usually averages 2 knots, Maloney said.
Pickup and drop-off is at the Owl Creek Boat Ramp adjacent to the Virginia Aquarium. The boat cruises the perimeters of Lake Rudee and Lake Wesley out to the tip of the rock jetty.
Inside Business
Two-hour public cruises for 16 passengers ($38 per person) and private cruises for 20 people ($525 total) are available Saturday and Sunday. From corporate outings to team building, bachelorette to birthday parties and date nights to family outings, Maloney said the crowds always enjoy a good time.
They also offer sunset cruises ($550 private and $43 public) 7-9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. All cruises, public or private, are bring your own beer, wine and snacks.
Michele Ambrogi, of Shadowlawn, has been on six cruises.
“I went for the first time with a group of friends around the Fourth of July last year and had a blast,” Ambrogi said.
In August, she booked a 1970s-themed birthday party with 15 friends. When her father came in from out of town, they went on a sunset cruise together.
“It’s like spin class, but way more fun,” she said. “It’s one of those things you can’t wait to do again and I’m already planning my next one.”

Two people are dead in Peachland following a report of a shooting at a home, Monday night (June 27).
RCMP received a report about 4:30 p.m. from a woman stating she had received a call from a friend saying a homicide had taken place and they were considering self-harm.
Police responded to Garraway Place and set up a containment perimeter. According to Dawn Roberts the director of BC RCMP communication services, officers were unsuccessful in reaching those inside after multiple attempts.
At about 6:20 p.m., the RCMP Southeast District Emergency Response Team entered the home and found one person dead with what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds with a weapon nearby. A second person was also located deceased in the home.
“It is believed that the two people were known to each other and that there is no further ongoing threat to the public,” stated Roberts.
According to neighbours, RCMP had not previously been to the residence in the past.
While the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation and is working with the BC Coroner’s Service to identify the deceased individuals and the exact cause of death, the Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO BC)has also been called in.
The IIO BC is investigating to determine whether police actions contributed to the deaths.
The IIO BC is a civilian-led police oversight agency responsible for conducting investigations into incidents of death or serious harm that may have been the result of the actions or inactions of a police officer, whether on or off duty.

Three protesters of the pressure group, Arise Ghana have been rounded up by personnel of the Ghana Police Service for involving in violent demonstration.
They were arrested in connection with the confusion that characterized the demonstration.
The demonstration at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle by the group turned violent as the protesters and policemen clashed.
Police had to fire teargas into the crowd after some protesters decided to push the police who had built a barricade to stop them from taking unapproved routes by moving from the Kwame Nkrumah Circle towards the Ringroad Central leading to the Jubilee House as all attempts by the police to persuade them to use the court approved routes did not yield the expected result.
The altercation happened after organisers met with top officials of the police service to discuss the way forward following an obstruction when protesters tried moving from Obra Spot.
Police officials on the ground had suggested that organisers stick to the court’s assigned route for the demonstration, that is from Obra Spot through the Independence Square.
But organisers of the Arise Ghana demonstration who did not agree to this insisted that they will use the Ring Road Central area through Ako Adjei Interchange to the Jubilee House.
After the meeting with the police, organisers returned to address the crowd about the situation but during this period, aggrieved protesters went against the police and tried pushing back the barricade.
Consequently, the police fired teargas to disperse the crowd who at a point was not only pushing against the police but attacking the police by pelting them with stones and objects, resulting in the injury of some officers who were on the ground to provide protection.
A statement issued by the police said 12 of their personnel got injured as a result of the incident.
According to the police, “so far 12 officers who sustained various degrees of injury and were treated at the Police Mobile Hospitals have been transferred to the Police Hospital for further treatment.”
As if that was not enough, the demonstrators also damaged police properties including their vehicles in the process.
The demonstrators further regrouped and burnt lorry tires on the road around cycles but police managed to put all the fire off.
According to the police, they had no option in the cause of the incident as they had to fire teargas and water cannons to subdue the rioting and restore order.
Police said they have cleared all the roads and urged road users if possible to use alternative routes as they take steps to disperse rioting crowd.
They have therefore assured the public all involved in the violent demonstration will be brought to book.

On June 28, dozens of clubs demonstrated with tributes on social media in celebration of International LGBTQIA+ Pride Day. The date refers to the Stonewall Uprising, which took place in 1969 in the United States.

- In a letter to her son, Cristiane recalls her tough childhood and ambitions: “Why am I going to stop dreaming?”
In the Brazilian Serie A, clubs like Flamengo, Botafogo and Fluminense demonstrated during the morning of Tuesday. São Paulo, Palmeiras and Corinthians also followed the same line.
Vasco’s historic landmark
Last year, Cruz-Maltino launched a manifesto against homophobia and transphobia in Brazilian sport. Shortly after, however, then captain Leandro Castan posted a biblical passage on social media and received criticism from the crowd. He was going against German Cano, who raised the rainbow flag in celebration of a goal.
A year later, Vasco became even more incisive. In addition to the Code of Ethical Conduct, the club launched an advertising campaign – changing the sponsor symbol – and also took to the field with fireworks in the colors of the LGBTQIA+ flag, in the last round of Serie B.
On the occasion, employees also had personalized flags around the lawn, and the fans themselves prepared banners in defense of diversity. The midfielder Yuri Lara, on the field in the match, highlighted the club’s role in the fight.
– Vasco has always been a club that fought against prejudice, that fought for all causes, whether against homophobia and racism. We have to applaud this action and fight for the cause.

Falcão, one of the biggest names in futsal history, is the new responsible for the career of Iran Ferreira, better known as Luva de Pedreiro. In addition, the eternal number 12 will also take care of the influencer’s friends, such as goalkeeper and cruiser Luva — who helped Iran record the videos that went viral on social media.
The former player published a text on his social networks confirming that it was Iran who sought him out for help in the future.
“GET what’s yours! Thank you for looking for me and choosing me to help you! The world hugged you and your #Tropa @goleirodoluva @cruzadordoluva and so did I! ALL decisions will be yours and your family’s, because what is little For one, it can be a lot for another! I introduce you to good people and super professionals who will be with you day by day and will put everything on the table for you to decide! We don’t own you, we don’t have a captive chair for anything, any agency that has good things for Iran “Luva de Pedreiro”, will be welcome! Welcome, in the way and the way YOU DECIDE! #Gracasadeuspai”, wrote Falcão.
Falcão made it very clear in the statement that Iran will be free to make any kind of decision alongside his family.
Glove de Pedreiro has more than 33 million followers on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. He broke boundaries and is successful in all corners of the world.
Change of entrepreneur after troubled relationship
Glove de Pedreiro and his former manager Allan Jesus have had troubled episodes in recent weeks. During a live on Instagram, Iran Ferreira stated that she would take a break from her career, and stopped following the businessman the next day.
The controversy was reinforced after a text published on the website Metrópoles revealed that Luva had, in two bank accounts, balances of around R$ 7,500, considered negligible due to his sponsorships and the reach of his accounts on social networks.
In response, Allan Jesus said that the information was frivolous, and selectively ascertained.
A report from UOL Esporte of last Friday (24) pointed out, based on data obtained from the Board of Trade of the State of Rio de Janeiro, that the influencer does not have full control of the company created to manage his career and the resources obtained in advertising contracts.
Iran Ferreira’s share in Cara da Luva de Pedreiro Produções Artísticas SPE LTDA is 45%, as the text showed, while Allan Jesus and influencer Victor Melo, together, account for 55% of the company. Sought to explain the division of society, Jesus did not respond. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/29/falcao-is-the-new-responsible-for-irans-career/ | 2022-06-28T22:41:49Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/29/falcao-is-the-new-responsible-for-irans-career/ | false | 2 |

Longtime PlayStation Fans Will Likely Love the New PlayStation Plus
Jun. 28 2022, Published 6:10 p.m. ET
In mid-June 2022, Sony made drastic changes to its PlayStation Plus subscription service, offering a series of tiers for players to subscribe to with different perks, combining it with the now-defunct PlayStation Now.
Players can choose between the Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers for the service, but are any of them actually worth it? While we've already covered the differences in the tiers, let's break down why it may (or may not) be worth the extra money.
Do any of the PlayStation Plus tiers come with same-day access to new games?
One of the appealing features of PlayStation Plus's biggest rival, Game Pass, is that it comes with same-day access to a lot of highly anticipated titles with the subscription. Certain games, like Starfield and Hello Neighbor 2, will be available for subscribers the day that these games launch even though their releases are still a long ways off.
But do subscribers to PlayStation Plus have that same perk? Unfortunately, no matter the tier, there is not same-day access for new games. This is probably one of the biggest downsides to the subscription service.
In place of same-day access, those who have a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription will be granted free trials of new games, giving you the chance to try it before you buy it. If you decide to buy the game after the trial, all of your progress will transfer over to the game.
It's unclear just how many games will have free trials with them, though many first-party games do have a discount if you have the subscription.
Is the new PlayStation Plus worth it?
At the end of the day, whether or not you invest in the new PlayStation Plus will depend on your own gaming preferences.
The PlayStation Plus Extra tier may be worth it for many gamers, especially if you tend to bounce between games and aren't committed to reaching the platinum trophy for all of your titles. With the Extra tier, you'll have access to an entire library of PS4 and PS5 games, letting you play through many of the most popular games available for the consoles at no extra cost.
While the Premium tier offers an even bigger library of games, it's best for those who have been longtime PlayStation fans, as it offers such an extensive backlog dating back to the first PlayStation console. That being said, if you tend to bounce between your PlayStation and PC when gaming, then the cloud streaming feature may be enough to convince you to get the top tier.
Ultimately, if you plan to play games online with your friends at all, you'll have to have at least the PlayStation Plus Essential tier, as that's the only way to play online. The pricier tiers don't offer as many benefits as Xbox's Game Pass does, though many reviewers claim it shows the potential of what the company's subscription service could do. Unless you're looking for a bigger library of games for the fraction of the cost, you may be able to pass on it. | https://www.distractify.com/p/is-playstation-plus-worth-it | 2022-06-28T22:42:05Z | https://www.distractify.com/p/is-playstation-plus-worth-it | false | 1 |
The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing women’s constitutional right to an abortion, drew swift reaction from Wisconsin and Dane County elected officials, most denouncing the decision.
State Senator Jon Erpenbach, who represents Waunakee, said in a statement Friday that the action “stripped away a fundamental constitutional protection from millions of Americans.”
“They chose to take this country backward and ignore legal precedent and the will of the people,” Erpenbach said.
With an 1849 Wisconsin law now in place prohibiting abortions, women’s health care decisions will no longer be based on what their doctors decide is best, Erpenbach added.
The Wisconsin Medical Society also weighed in with a statement saying:
“Today’s decision raises concerns that could result in significant interference with the physician-patient relationship – the sanctity of which is the bedrock of our healthcare system. Defaulting to a law first created in 1949 is not the best path forward.”
Dane County officials also weighed in, as County Board Chair Patrick Miles called the day “sad and disappointing.”
“An existing, anachronistic Wisconsin law that makes abortion illegal at any stage of pregnancy without exception for rape, incest or the health of the patient is now enforceable,” Miles said in a statement. “We know this ruling will disproportionately affect low-income communities, communities of color, people who are disabled, immigrants, young people and members of the LBBTQ+ community.”
County Executive Joe Parisi called the decision “nothing short of horrific” and pointed out that the Wisconsin State Legislature failed to update the 1849 statue banning abortions in the state.
“Let me be clear — Dane County has and will continue to be a progressive beacon for the rest of the state,” Parisi said. “We will do all we can to support women and people who give birth so that we can ensure all the people in our county can be as healthy and safe as possible,” Parisi said.
Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett urged those protesting to do so peacefully. As far as enforcement, Barrett said he has to “prioritize my limited resources to focus on crimes that most directly affect the people I serve. These crimes include gun violence, homicides, sexual assault, vehicle thefts, human trafficking, impaired driving and domestic violence to name a few.”
Barrett added that the department lacks the resources and expertise to investigate “medical professionals conducting medical procedures in medical facilities.”
Columbia County Sheriff Roger Brandner said the decision won’t change the current operations.
“Our obligation will alway be to protect and serve our citizens. Our detectives are very busy with current investigations and I don’t expect this decision to affect us,” Brandner said.
The Supreme Court’s decision drew praise from one Wisconsin Senator.
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson called it a “victory for life and for those who have fought for decades to protect the unborn.”
Each state will decide “at what point does society have the responsibility to project life,” Johnson said.
U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin lashed out at Republicans, noting that they “have taken Wisconsin women back to 1849 and it is Republicans who want to keep us there with support for having politicians interfere in the freedoms of women who will now have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers have for decades.”
Baldwin urged constituents to “fight with their voice and their votes because we will not be taken back.”

Corrections officer killed in ‘senseless’ drive-by shooting
Posted/updated on: June 28, 2022 at 4:18 pm(MISHAWAKA, Ind.) -- A young Indiana corrections officer who hoped to become a police officer has been killed in a drive-by shooting, authorities said.
St. Joseph County correctional officer Rhema Harris was killed around 6 p.m. Sunday "in yet another senseless act of violence," St. Joseph County Sheriff William Redman said.
Harris, 28, was inside her home in Mishawaka, which is just outside of South Bend, when one bullet struck her in the chest, Mishawaka police's detective bureau division chief Dan Gebo told ABC News.
The shooter then sped away and has not been identified, Gebo said.
The shooting was believed to be a retaliation in a feud, Gebo said, stressing that the corrections officer was not the target and she was just "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Several people were in the house with Harris, including minors, Gebo said.
Authorities have talked to several witnesses and persons of interest, Gebo said.
Harris was hired as a St. Joseph County correctional officer in July 2021 and was assigned to the midnight shift at the jail, Redman said.
"Rhema proudly served her country in the United States Army," Redman said. "She received a national defense service award, global war on terrorism service medal and an Army service ribbon, before being honorably discharged in 2016."
She hoped to become a St. Joseph County police officer, Redman said.
This drive-by shooting comes amid a concerning rise in gun violence. The U.S. lost 20,923 people to gun violence-related incidents last year, excluding suicides. Last year marked a big increase from 2020, when 19,515 died from gun violence, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
There are 200 million to 350 million guns in the U.S., according to estimates for this year from the World Population Review.

Fayetteville restaurant uses robot during labor shortage
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - At a time when good workers are hard to find in the restaurant business, there is a recipe for success.
Jeremy Caro is general manager of Dua Vietnamese in Fayetteville and has come up with a unique way to deal with the labor shortage.
He found the perfect employee named Beemo. It’s his robot server who never misses a day of work.
“She’s making a very strong case for employee of the year,” Caro said.
And the robot always has a good attitude.
“I guess that’s great not getting an attitude from the robot. Yes, don’t program an attitude into the robot,” customer Donna Hawkins said.
Management purchased the robot to fill one of their open server positions and it can serve up to three tables at a time by itself.
“You’d think that it would be impersonal, but it seemed personable. It was kind, considerate, courteous, friendly,” customer Jim McKeithen said.
“Fast, very nice, very short and simple. Here’s your food, let’s go,” customer Jennifer Sanchez said.
And nothing seems to slow it down.
“Beemo our robot here is the best thing. It has helped me when I only have two servers or even one on the floor and I get through the night without any complaints,” Caro said.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Serena Williams has lost her first singles match in nearly a year, getting beat by 115th-ranked Harmony Tan of France in a third-set tiebreaker at Wimbledon.
Williams was two points from victory but could not finish the job and bowed out with a 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) defeat on Tuesday night.
They played at Centre Court with the arena's retractable roof closed after the first set.
Williams is a 23-time Grand Slam champion but the 40-year-old American had not competed in singles since she got injured in the first set of her first-round match at the All England Club on June 29, 2021.
She has won Wimbledon seven times. This was only the third first-round exit in 80 career Grand Slam appearances for Williams. One came at the French Open in 2012 and one at Wimbledon a year ago when she had to stop playing because of an injured leg.
This was Tan's Wimbledon debut. | https://www.cp24.com/sports/at-wimbledon-serena-williams-loses-1st-match-in-a-year-1.5966984 | 2022-06-28T23:02:53Z | https://www.cp24.com/sports/at-wimbledon-serena-williams-loses-1st-match-in-a-year-1.5966984 | true | 9 |

Washington [US], June 29 (ANI): Google has released the third build for Android 13 Beta 3. In order to solve the essential fixes for beta testers, Google had to release not one, not two, but three builds of this month's beta build.
According to GSM Arena, the only purpose of Android 13 beta 3.3 is to fix problems, no new features are included. A conflict between the launcher and the keyboard was resolved, and another fault where actions like swiping "back" would cause the UI to crash was fixed. These issues made using the beta version of the app less than ideal.
A fault that prevented Pixels from connecting to well-known Wi-Fi networks and another that led to the device freezing when plugged in and needing to be restarted were both fixed.
Additionally, "Connectivity Thermal Power Management," which was responsible for the erratic performance and short battery life, has been improved.
Given that the June Beta 3 was supposed to establish "Platform Stability," which wasn't done straight away, there have been a lot of updates released this month.
App developers are expected to begin concluding compatibility testing for apps, SDKs, and libraries with this build.
Beta 4 should be arriving in July with the public builds expected to arrive soon after that, but with no real-time frame. We normally expect to see Android updates arrive on Google Pixel devices just before new ones are released which normally happens sometime in October, as reported by GSM Arena.
The Beta 3.3 update should be rolling out to compatible Pixel devices. Make sure you install the update if you're running the beta so you can get these bugs squashed.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Prime Minister Philip Davis has contradicted the CEO of Bahamas Power & Light, suggesting there will be no BPL fuel charge hike in the foreseeable future.
BPL’s new CEO Shevonn Cambridge recently told a local daily the company will increase its fuel charge in the next month or two.
Davis, however, said the government’s approach to allowing an increase in BPL fuel charges mirrors its stance on allowing the National Insurance Board (NIB) contribution rate to increase.
He was speaking to the press at the Lynden Pindling International Airport after returning from Rwanda where the latest Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting was held.
“Any future or further burden on the Bahamian people has to be looked [at] in the context of the previous answer that I gave in respect to national insurance,” Davis said.
While actuaries insist The Bahamas must raise NIB contribution rates to protect the fund, Davis reiterated yesterday that his administration has no plan to follow that recommendation because it would be too burdensome for Bahamians.
This same principle, he suggested, applies to increasing BPL charges and fees.
He said the government is looking for other ways to reduce fuel costs, a matter that was discussed extensively during his recent international trips.
“For example,” he said, “the voices of (Small Island Development States) were being heard about the sanctions being placed on Venezuela and we’re now seeing movements to relieve the sanctions so that the Venezuela oil and other related products could now be exported from Venezuela.
“So our voices are being heard in respect to that.
“Trinidad, for example, they have a reserve of gas, which was being stagnated because of the relationship they have with Venezuela.
“We have made strong representations with the US to lift the sanctions in respect to that and we hope to see that move very soon.
“So, if our efforts to remove the other pressures that feed into increasing the cost of fuel, if those are released as we expect them to, then there may not be a need for us to consider raising any further bills on the backs of Bahamians.
“But these are some of the things that we do when we travel.
“So, from the Summit of Americas, you would have noted since then, the Americans have allowed Venezuela to export to European Union.
“So, the next step now is to deal with our situation here in the Caribbean and we just have to follow through on that.
“We have to deal with that this weekend in Suriname.
“That’s high on the agenda, energy security…Once the valve is released for Venezuela to provide fuel, we’ll see a very significant downward trend on the cost of fuel. “
The Davis administration also nixed BPL’s plans announced in February to raise fuel costs.
At the time, the company said it would increase the fuel charge from 10.5 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to 13.7 cents per kWh.
The prime minister, meanwhile, said his government is still working to solve the problem of soaring gas prices.
“[We are] still working out what else can be done recognizing that most of the cost related to fuel is not within our control,” he said.
“What is in our control and what I’ve been doing is letting our voice be heard about some of the initiatives and policies in the industrialized world that is causing the increase in oil.
“Quite apart from the invasion in Ukraine, there are also other issues, like the sanctions on Venezuela that has impacted the cost of fuel, particularly for us.
“If those sanctions are lifted, it helps and so we have been agitating.” | https://ewnews.com/no-further-burden-pm-suggests-no-fuel-hike-will-be-allowed?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-further-burden-pm-suggests-no-fuel-hike-will-be-allowed | 2022-06-28T23:07:26Z | https://ewnews.com/no-further-burden-pm-suggests-no-fuel-hike-will-be-allowed?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-further-burden-pm-suggests-no-fuel-hike-will-be-allowed | true | 1 |
Groundbreaking and renowned painter Sam Gilliam has died at the age of 88 after leaving behind a body of pioneering artwork, including the stained draped canvases that he was famous for.
Gilliam had a great influence on his fellow artists and friends in the art world, managing to change how the world saw what a painting could be. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Gilliam produced innovative work in the color field space, becoming associated with the Washington Color School movement which came out of Washington, D.C. in the 1950s, putting a strong emphasis on large fields of color in an artist's work.
Gilliam was known for allowing himself to place minimal control over his art, experimenting with staining techniques, and permitting the pigments to soak into his pliant canvases in order to watch the stains diffuse.
Gilliam's friend, 85-year-old sculptor Melvin Edwards, said that their group was "always asking why the other had done something a certain way,” he told the New York Times. "That was the nature of Sam’s work: It always questioned space,” he said.
Gilliam was close friends with fellow artists like Edwards and painter William T. Williams who spoke multiple times a day and owned pieces of each other's work. 44-year-old Artist Rashid Johnson saw Gilliam as a role model telling the Times, “I knew his work far before we met, and he had so much influence on me.”
Gilliam's friends are working on how to best preserve his life's work and how to put his successes on display and tell the story of his decision to stay in Washington, D.C.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has put some of Gilliam's work on display in an exhibit titled, "Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom: The Era of Segregation 1876-1968."
The museum wrote that Gilliam's work upheld "a personal commitment to creating innovative and colorful abstract works." The museum wrote of his influence saying, "He has been and will continue to be an inspiration to all artists with an idea and the determination to think outside the box to create masterpieces." | https://www.kshb.com/news/national/influential-painter-sam-gilliam-dies-at-the-age-of-88 | 2022-06-28T23:19:08Z | https://www.kshb.com/news/national/influential-painter-sam-gilliam-dies-at-the-age-of-88 | false | 10 |
Woody Allen Drops Career Bombshell On Alec Baldwin
A day before the live stream began, Alec Baldwin posted a video promoting the upcoming interview. Although he smiled and appeared cheerful for the video, the caption accompanying the post told a slightly different story. “Let me upfront by saying that I have ZERO INTEREST in the judgments and hypocritical posts of anyone here,” Baldwin wrote (via NBC News). “I’m obviously someone who has my own beliefs and couldn’t care less about the speculations of others. If you think a trial should be done via an HBO documentary, that’s your problem.”
With that disclaimer out of the way, the interview proceeded as planned. Speaking to Baldwin from his New York home, Woody Allen revealed his plans to retire from Hollywood after “one or two more” projects, telling the embattled “Rust” actor, “I’m going to do one more, and I” Let’s see how it feels” (via Times Union). Allen added: “A lot of the thrill is gone. It’s not as fun as it used to be.”
The comments came as around 2,600 viewers on Instagram watched, many of whom clearly weren’t expecting such a bombshell. Allen went on to reveal exactly why he plans to retire from the film industry. Remarkably, Allen’s reasoning for the move seems unrelated to his advanced age or controversial nature. | https://washingtonsources.org/woody-allen-drops-career-bombshell-on-alec-baldwin/ | 2022-06-28T23:20:53Z | https://washingtonsources.org/woody-allen-drops-career-bombshell-on-alec-baldwin/ | false | 1 |
Britney Spears’ ex, Jason Alexander, has been ordered to stand trial on a felony charge after allegedly breaking into Spears’ home on the day she married Sam Asghari.
According to the Associated Press, Ventura County Judge David Worley ruled that Alexander, 40, would go on trial for a felony stalking charge after concluding during a two-hour preliminary hearing on Monday, that there was enough evidence against him.
In addition, according to court documents obtained by the publication, Alexander will face misdemeanor trespassing charges, vandalism, and battery. Alexander, who remains in jail, pleaded not guilty to all charges, through his lawyer.
According to People, per the booking form with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, Alexander's bail is set at $100,000.
According to Rolling Stone, Spears’ former security guard, Richard N. Eubeler -- who was fired shortly after the incident on the singer's wedding day -- testified that Alexander allegedly tried to break through Spears' bedroom door, which was locked, upon entering the residence.
"He started reaching into his right pocket," Eubeler claimed about Alexander's alleged reaction when he noticed the door wouldn't open. "I drew my weapon and held it to my chest."
Earlier this month, a source confirmed to ET that the “Baby One More Time” singer “fired her whole security team, following the wedding day incident."
"Jason Alexander trying to crash their wedding was a complete disaster and no one understood how it could have possibly happened," the source said. "Britney felt that her security team was underprepared and she was very flustered and overwhelmed."
Alexander, who was married to the pop star briefly in 2004, allegedly barged his way into Spears' Thousand Oaks, California, home on her wedding day, demanding to see Spears. He was tackled by security and ultimately arrested by Ventura County Sheriff's deputies responding to a trespassing call.
On June 13, Spears was granted a temporary restraining order against Alexander, which orders him to stay 100 yards from the singer.

The overturning of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade, which federally protected the right to an abortion, has led to many questions about potential impacts in other areas of reproductive health care.
Some people on social media have expressed concerns about access to contraceptives following the Supreme Court’s decision on June 24.
VERIFY viewer Cierra also texted the team to ask, “Is birth control banned now?”
THE QUESTION
Did the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade ban birth control?
THE SOURCES
- Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
- Griswold v. Connecticut
- Liza Fuentes, senior research scientist at the Guttmacher Institute
- Center for Reproductive Rights
THE ANSWER
No, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade does not ban birth control.
WHAT WE FOUND
The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization eliminated the constitutional protection for abortion, which was established by Roe v. Wade in 1973 and reaffirmed by Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. It did not change other constitutional rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, including access to contraception.
“The Court emphasizes that this decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” a summary of the majority opinion, written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, reads.
In 1965, the court ruled in Griswold v. Connecticut that the use of contraception by married couples was included under the right to privacy inferred from the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The same tenant of a right to privacy was used to protect abortion in Roe v. Wade, grant the right to engage in private, consensual sex acts in Lawrence v. Texas, and legalize same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas emphasized in his concurring opinion that other cases not pertaining to abortion aren’t currently impacted by the ruling, writing in part that Griswold is “not at issue.”
“Thus, I agree that nothing in [the Court’s] opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” Thomas wrote.
Thomas did add that the court should “reconsider” precedents like Griswold that affirmed a right to privacy in future cases. His comments have led to concerns from advocates about potential future rollbacks of LGBTQ rights and other reproductive health protections.
In their dissenting opinion, the three justices who opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade said they “suspect the prospects of this Court approving bans on contraception are low.” However, the opinion will “fuel the fight to get contraception, and any other issues with a moral dimension, out of the Fourteenth Amendment and into state legislatures,” they added.
Both Liza Fuentes, a senior research scientist with the Guttmacher Institute, and a spokesperson for the Center for Reproductive Rights told VERIFY there are no states that ban contraceptives entirely. However, some states limit minors’ access to contraception, and adults are impacted by barriers such as required prescriptions for some birth control methods, the Center for Reproductive Rights added. | https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/verify/scotus-verify/birth-control-contraception-not-banned-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/536-fe3373e3-1b16-49c6-8cf9-bc786e54b03b | 2022-06-28T23:26:00Z | https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/verify/scotus-verify/birth-control-contraception-not-banned-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/536-fe3373e3-1b16-49c6-8cf9-bc786e54b03b | true | 12 |
Serena Williams’ comeback at Wimbledon ended against 115th-ranked Harmony Tan, who beat the 23-time Grand Slam champion in the first round.
The Frenchwoman defeated the seven-time Wimbledon champion 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) on Centre Court in a memorable debut at the All England Club.
For the 40-year-old Williams, it was her first singles match since exiting Wimbledon a year ago in the first round because of an injury.
Williams was leading 5-4 and was two points from victory, but Tan broke to even the set. Williams then saved a match point in the 12th game to force a tiebreaker.
The loss was only the third for Williams in the first round of a Grand Slam match.
Last week, Williams qualified to play after receiving a wildcard to play in the women's singles event.
Earlier this month, Williams took to social media to announce her return and captioned a picture of her tennis shoes on a grass court, saying, "SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022. See you there." | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/serenas-comeback-ends-in-1st-round-at-wimbledon | 2022-06-28T23:27:47Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/serenas-comeback-ends-in-1st-round-at-wimbledon | false | 11 |
It looks like those rumors of Johnny Depp reprising his role of Jack Sparrow are not coming to fruition.
A representative for the actor denied recent reports that Depp was slated to return to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, telling NBC News that "this is made up."
In the wake of his defamation suit against ex-wife Amber Heard, rumors spread like wildfire that Depp was to return as Sparrow, and Disney was set to pay him $301 million, Forbes reported.
Jerry Bruckheimer, famed producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, put those rumors to bed by telling The Times that Depp was "not at this point" returning.
But he gave a glimmer of hope when he added, "The future is yet to be decided."
Depp accused his former wife of libeling him with a 2018 Washington Post op-ed describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse."
A jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages, and Heard was awarded $2 million in her countersuit.
After Heard's op-ed was published, Depp was dropped from "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Fantastic Beasts." | https://www.wtkr.com/entertainment/depp-not-in-talks-to-reprise-pirates-of-the-caribbean-role-rep-says | 2022-06-28T23:29:11Z | https://www.wtkr.com/entertainment/depp-not-in-talks-to-reprise-pirates-of-the-caribbean-role-rep-says | false | 11 |

MADERA, Calif. (AP) — The parents of a 2-year-old boy who was found dead in an orchard days after they reported him missing in 2020 pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter charges in his death, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Briseida Sran and Sukhjinder Sran pleaded guilty Monday to the death of their son Thaddeus, who they reported missing on July 15, 2020. They told police they had last seen him when they put him to bed the previous night.
The Srans were arrested on July 24, 2020, a day after police found the remains of their son, which appeared to have been burned, in an agriculture fire pit in a remote area outside the city of Madera.
Brieseida Sran admitted to the killing of Thaddeus and to the 2015 killing of their 4-month-old daughter, Divina Sran, Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno said.
Briseida Sran faces 28 years in prison. Her husband, Skhjinder Sran, pleaded guilty to the killing of Thaddeus but there is no evidence he was involved in the killing of Divina, Moreno said. Sukhjinder Sran faces 11 years in prison.
The coroner’s office was not able to determine a cause of death for either child and a motive in their killings remains unknown, Moreno said.
“They are not saying and cannot be required to say,” Moreno said.
Thaddeus was born prematurely and had a feeding tube. He was non-verbal and required special care.
Their daughter, too, had serious medical issues, according to the couple’s attorney, Roger Nuttall.
The couple is scheduled to be sentenced on July 29. | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Parents-plead-guilty-in-death-of-their-2-year-old-17272710.php | 2022-06-28T23:39:04Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Parents-plead-guilty-in-death-of-their-2-year-old-17272710.php | true | 11 |

My culture fix: Richard E Grant

The Times
My favourite author or book
Alice in Wonderland. I first read it when I was a boy, in tandem with the record featuring Joan Greenwood and Stanley Holloway, both of which I read and listened to transfixed — I have ritually reread it every year since. It’s unofficially the best guide to understanding the English class system that I have come across. The imaginative leaps quintessentially sum up the literary creativity of this small island.
The book I’m reading
I always have a minimum of three on the go. I devoured Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus — the heroine is a scientific version of Nigella Lawson, who seduces everyone with logic and neutrons in the 1960s. Also Theo Fennell’s I Fear for This | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/my-culture-fix-richard-e-grant-nwldfz8q8 | 2022-06-28T23:40:08Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/my-culture-fix-richard-e-grant-nwldfz8q8 | true | 1 |

FOR THE STAR
A one-time-only screening of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" benefiting the St. Helena Public Library will start at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1, at the Cameo Cinema.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a 1961 romantic comedy directed by Blake Edwards, written by George Axelrod, adapted from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name, and starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a naïve, eccentric café society girl who falls in love with a struggling writer. It was released by Paramount Pictures in 1961 to critical and commercial success.
Nominated for five Academy Awards (winning two), with the music (including "Moon River") nominated for six Grammy Awards (winning five), the film was selected in 2012 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Ticket price of $50 includes movie admission, popcorn and wine (adults only). Tickets are $25 for guests under 21 years old.
There are sponsorship and advertising opportunities available. Contact the St. Helena Public Library, Friends and Foundation at friends@shpl.org .
15 iconic director-screenwriter partnerships
15 iconic director-screenwriter partnerships
Motion pictures are a collaborative art by nature, but the vision arguably starts with the screenplay as the blueprint for the entire project. The director ultimately brings that idea into the real world and onto the screen. Though often considered the primary or singular genius or author, the director’s artistry entwines with that of the writer—and arguably the cinematographer and the rest of the crew.
There’s a fusion of imagination when screenwriters and directors work together, resulting in some of the best and most iconic cinematic masterpieces ever made. To exemplify this collective brilliance, Giggster surveyed film history and highlighted 15 unmissable director-screenwriter partnerships. To qualify, the pair had to make at least three features together.
Some duos stayed in their writing and directing lanes, some just wrote together whereas others directed, and some were on both sides of the writing-directing fence. Most of the partnerships on this list feature duos who eventually went their separate ways, even after working together for decades, such as sibling forces Joel and Ethan Coen and Lilly and Lana Wachowski. Other pairs listed here collaborated on debut films or early on in their careers, marking a distinct style that’s decidedly linked to one another.
Discover 15 of the most prolific director-screenwriter partnerships below.

Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh
Married with two children, director Peter Jackson and screenwriter Fran Walsh have co-produced and collaborated on motion pictures since they first met in the 1980s. Their first collaborations were known for campy gore, including the Muppets-gone-wild-themed “Meet the Feebles” and the horror film “Dead Alive.”
Jackson and Walsh also co-produced and co-wrote the acclaimed “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, considered a technical marvel for its use of computer-generated imaging, or CGI, in adapting J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novels. They co-wrote the trilogy with Philippa Boyens and with Stephen Sinclair on just the second entry.
In 2003, Jackson and Walsh both shared Academy Awards for “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” for Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. Jackson also won for directing, while Walsh also shared the Oscar for Best Original Song. The pair first drew critical success with the true-crime thriller “Heavenly Creatures” in 1994 and have since collaborated on 2005’s “King Kong” and “The Hobbit” trilogy.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland
Danny Boyle directed “The Beach” in 2000 starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and though the film was poorly reviewed and DiCaprio’s performance panned, the adaptation of Alex Garland’s acclaimed 1996 novel would give way to a fruitful partnership between Boyle and Garland. Soon after, the duo collaborated on 2002’s “28 Days Later,” which inaugurated a zombie film renaissance, inspiring the 2007 sequel “28 Weeks Later,” TV’s “The Walking Dead” series, and countless other entries in the zombie genre.
“28 Days Later” introduced fast-moving zombies, which are equally as terrifying as the other humans in the apocalypse. Boyle directed with Garland writing the script and Cillian Murphy starring. The trio worked together again on 2007’s sci-fi thriller “Sunshine,” in which a space crew attempts to reignite the dying sun. Garland wrote his directorial debut, 2014’s “Ex Machina,” while Danny Boyle directed 2017’s “T2 Trainspotting,” a sequel to his 1996 hit.

Akira Kurosawa and Hideo Oguni
Japanese auteur director Akira Kurosawa collaborated on several iconic classics with the prolific screenwriter Hideo Oguni, but their first film was the critically acclaimed “Ikiru,” which follows an aging bureaucrat who vows to change his life after a terminal diagnosis. Kurosawa co-wrote the screenplay with Oguni and their frequent collaborator Shinobu Hashimoto.
In addition to “Throne of Blood,” “The Hidden Fortress,” and several other action-adventures and historical dramas, the two collaborated on the iconic and influential 1954 martial arts classic “Seven Samurai,” also co-written with Hashimoto. Set in post-feudal Japan in the late 1500s, “Seven Samurai” perfected a now-familiar plotline featuring brave, rogue fighters protecting an isolated community. It was notably remade in the U.S. as “The Magnificent Seven” in 1960 and again in 2016, with all three Japanese writers receiving a “based-on” credit for both. The duo’s final collaboration was 1985’s acclaimed epic “Ran,” co-written with Masato Ide and loosely based on Shakespeare’s “King Lear.”
Toho Company
Lana and Lilly Wachowski
The sibling team responsible for the iconic “Matrix” franchise with its 21st-century themes around identity, technology, and systemic oppression, co-wrote the first three films in the series, with just Lana Wachowski directing the fourth entry, 2021’s “The Matrix Resurrections.” “The Matrix” is known for its thrilling visual design and innovative action sequences. The two debuted with 1996’s “Bound,” a retooling of a noir crime thriller that centers on a gangster’s moll (Jennifer Tilly) and her girlfriend (Gina Gershon) in a tense doublecross of the men who usually win.
After the huge success of “The Matrix” trilogy, the pair wrote and directed “V for Vendetta,” “Speed Racer,” “Cloud Atlas” (with Tom Tykwer), and “Jupiter Ascending,” the latter of which, while visually striking, came across as overblown, convoluted sci-fi and was a critical and financial flop. However, they both collaborated on the first season of the TV series “Sense8,” acclaimed for its rich storytelling and radical approach to empathy in its tale of humans connected from across the globe.

Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader
Travis Bickle, the archetype of the psychotic loner played by Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver,” was imagined by screenwriter Paul Schrader and brought to life with Martin Scorsese’s gritty, striking direction. The two collaborated on four films, including “Raging Bull”—again, with DeNiro in the starring role, this time as the real-life boxer Jake LaMotta. Both “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull” are stylish, visual dramas known as masterpieces of Scorsese’s early career.
The two changed gears with 1988’s controversial “The Last Temptation of Christ” starring Willem Dafoe as a very human Jesus struggling with divinity. Its revisionist take on biblical stories sparked protests and bans from Christian groups. The pair’s latest collaboration was 1999’s “Bringing Out the Dead,” starring Nicolas Cage as a Manhattan paramedic, the film’s philosophical narrator, ruminating on saving lives while answering calls for gunshots and drug overdose victims.
“Bringing Out the Dead,” while far less iconic than Scorsese and Schrader’s other films, received decent reviews. Among its stars include John Goodman, Patricia Arquette, Queen Latifah, Ving Rhames, and Marc Anthony, as a strung-out, suicidal drug addict.

Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody
Diablo Cody won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar in 2008 for “Juno,” her debut script and director Jason Reitman’s second feature film. “Juno” follows a pregnant teenager giving up her baby for adoption, but the sentimental premise was made with wry humor and a sense of realistic cool; Elliot Page played the teen, with Jennifer Garner as the adoptive mom. Cody and Reitman also collaborated on “Young Adult” and “Tully,” both starring Charlize Theron and both centering on the experience of pregnancy and motherhood.
The pair’s films present female experiences in unglamorous, authentic modes. In “Young Adult,” Theron plays a young adult novelist who finds herself returning to her hometown and making a play for her ex-boyfriend now that he is married with a newborn. “Tully” explores the psychological impact of the final weeks before and after labor and delivery in a mother’s life. Cody’s scripts are body-centered, looking at the physical details of her character’s experience, completed by Reitman’s realistic tone and pacing that captures everyday life with wit and respect for despair and sadness.

Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond
Garnering 10 Academy Awards nominations, “The Apartment” is considered a classic of American cinema. Director Billy Wilder co-wrote the witty, poignant script with I.A.L. Diamond; together, they won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, with Wilder also taking home Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. The pair’s collaborations created film dialogue known for breezy humor with acerbic commentary just under the surface.
The two co-wrote “Some Like It Hot,” with the final exchange between Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown celebrated as some of the best lines in a film ending ever. The two are known for ironic romances with wry dialogue that turns convention on its head. Some of their more well-known Hollywood hits are “Love in the Afternoon,” “Irma la Douce,” and “Kiss Me, Stupid.”

Joel and Ethan Coen
Though Joel Coen was often credited singularly as director, both he and his brother, Ethan, co-wrote, co-produced, and co-directed their long oeuvre of American masterpieces starting with their acclaimed debut, “Blood Simple,” in 1984. Their next collaboration was the stylish comedy “Raising Arizona,” with Nicolas Cage as an ex-con longing to be an adoptive dad; the film’s themes mixed the sentimental and the humorously depraved.
Their sixth feature was the now-classic crime thriller “Fargo,” for which Frances McDormand (spouse of Joel) won a Best Actress Oscar and the brothers won Best Screenplay. The film’s focus on normal people caught up in corruption is a frequent theme also seen in “No Country for Old Men,” “True Grit,” and “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.” The Coens films often delve into criminality with humor and irony alongside a stoic visual style that captures subtle details of average lives.
The pair also won the three top Oscars (for writing, directing, and Best Picture) for the 2008 Western “No Country for Old Men.” 2021’s acclaimed “The Tragedy of Macbeth” marked the first major solo effort between the two, with just Joel writing and directing.

Krzysztof Kieślowski and Krzysztof Piesiewicz
When director Krzysztof Kieślowski died in 1996, his longtime screenwriter collaborator Krzysztof Piesiewicz said Polish cinema died with him , falling into crisis after losing one of its greatest directors. The pair met over their interest in a documentary on the justice system—Piesiewicz was a lawyer in his lifetime.
The two made several films together as well as “Dekalog,” a 10-part cinematic TV series, before creating the acclaimed “The Double Life of Véronique,” starring Irène Jacob as two women who look the same and somehow lead entwined lives. They are best known for the “Three Colours” trilogy—encompassing “Blue,” “White,” and “Red”—released in succession in 1993 and 1994. The trilogy gets its name from the colors of the French flag and explores entangled stories with themes about equality and liberation.

Frank Capra and Robert Riskin
Robert Riskin wrote a series of successful plays in the 1920s before making his way to Hollywood with a successful career in screenwriting. Riskin was known for witty dialogue that seemed natural and breezy in its use of popular slang. Riskin’s most well-known efforts were directed by Frank Capra. Their first collaboration was the newsroom-set comedy “Platinum Blonde,” which introduced themes around class, motifs they’d return to again and again in romantic comedies.
Their most famous film is the classic comedy “It Happened One Night,” with its influential love-hate romantic plot in which a socialite and news reporter are thrown together, finding themselves falling for each other despite initial conflict and vast differences. The film won the top five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Screenplay Adaptation. Riskin was especially skilled at adapting novels, including the bestseller “Lost Horizon,” now considered one of Capra’s best films.

Federico Fellini and Tullio Pinelli
Tullio Pinelli worked with Federico Fellini across four decades, including penning both his debut feature film, “Variety Lights,” and his last, 1990’s “The Voice of the Moon.” While Tullio wrote the scripts for several major Italian films, including the popular comedy “Amici miei,” he also wrote or contributed the story to Fellini’s best-known masterpieces. Tullio first trained as a playwright, so when he began to write for motion pictures, his talent was giving dramatic structure to Fellini’s more surreal fantastical bents.
Tullio co-wrote “The Road” and contributed to the story for “Nights of Cabiria,” both starring Giulietta Masina in lead roles in dramas that focused on the often harsh experience of women in a culture structured around objectification and harm. Pinelli wrote and collaborated with Fellini (along with Ennio Flaiano) on his masterworks—“La Dolce Vita” and the autobiographical ode to movie-making “8½,” starring Marcello Mastroianni as a director immersed in his memories as he creates his next film.

Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson
1996’s “Bottle Rocket,” co-written by Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson, was first a short film and later made into a feature film. It launched the careers of actor Wilson and brother Luke, as well as auteur director Anderson. “Bottle Rocket” was a small, independent film that drew critical attention to Anderson’s wry, eccentric style. He’s known for surreal whimsy in a visual style that’s funny in its detachment from heartbreak.
The two also co-wrote Anderson’s second and third films, “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” with Owen as part of the all-star ensemble cast in the latter. Anderson’s early works perfect his visual style as a chic ironist, but these films also use sharp, witty dialogue to discuss topics like depression, suicide, and loss. In “Rushmore,” an eccentric high school student stages plays, including an adaptation of the film “Serpico” and an elaborate Vietnam war melodrama, exploring themes of artifice alongside humorous emotionality.

Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo Arriaga
Guillermo Arriaga was a successful novelist before partnering on three films with Alejandro González Iñárritu early in the director’s career. Arriaga wrote the screenplays for Iñárritu’s first three major films, “Amores perros,” “21 Grams,” and “Babel.” The former, starring Javier Bardem, was a striking debut, earning critical acclaim while also being popular with audiences. Though the two continued to collaborate, conflicts arose over creative control , with Arriaga desiring a more substantial credit as co-creator for “21 Grams.”
The dispute came to a head during the release of “Babel,” in which Iñárritu along with members of the cast and crew published an “open letter” in a major Mexican magazine criticizing Arriaga for demanding sole credit for his work. Reportedly, Arriaga’s script for “Babel” underwent significant revisions. The pair parted ways with Arriaga writing and directing 2008’s “The Burning Plain.” Since then, Iñárritu won back-to-back Best Director Oscars for 2015’s “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” for which he also won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, and 2016’s “The Revenant.”

Ang Lee and James Schamus
Ang Lee and James Schamus collaborated on Lee’s first six of seven feature films across a dozen years, the lone exception being 1995’s “Sense and Sensibility,” which was adapted from Jane Austen’s novel by actress Emma Thompson, who also starred and won an Oscar for her writing effort. Before and after this romantic drama, Schamus wrote a series of highly acclaimed films directed by Lee, including their 1992 debut, “Pushing Hands.” Their next efforts also featured Asian characters and immersed audiences in intimate family milieus with themes of love and tradition.
Both co-wrote the scripts along with Neil Peng on “The Wedding Banquet” and Hui-Ling Wang on “Eat Drink Man Woman.” They followed these efforts with the 1970s-set tragic drama “The Ice Storm” and the Western “Ride with the Devil.” The pinnacle of their collaboration was the iconic “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” known for its gorgeous martial arts choreography. Their collaborations, characteristic of Lee’s works, jumped between genres as with the superhero movie “Hulk,” which sadly had a middling critical and box office performance, likely due to the duo’s new take on the green hero and multiple co-writers and revisions.

Vittorio De Sica and Cesare Zavattini
Screenwriter Cesare Zavattini, who penned “Some Ideas on the Cinema,” in 1952, a treatise on neorealist theory, worked with several major Italian directors including Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini. Zavattini is best known for the Vittorio De Sica-directed masterpiece “Bicycle Thieves,” a classic of world cinema known for its heart-wrenching story about a desperate, out-of-work dad searching for a stolen bike with his young son in tow.
The collaborations between de Sica and Zavattini produced some of the major masterpieces of Italian neorealism, a political and aesthetic movement aimed at eliciting empathy in audiences by creating a sense of real life using a documentary-like style. Some of their post-World War II works include “The Gates of Heaven” and “Miracle in Milan.” 1946’s “Shoeshine” focuses on children caught up in a failing juvenile system, while 1952’s “Umberto D.” followed an elderly man adrift and desperate with no social support to help him survive. De Sica and Zavattini’s partnership created a deeply evocative emotional cinema intended to portray the authentic suffering of everyday people.

Video calls for patients as care switches to NHS app
The NHS app will host video consultations and let patients make and rearrange hospital appointments within two years, ministers have pledged.
Patients will receive notifications from GPs via the app as part of reforms to rapidly expand the use of technology in health and social care.
Sajid Javid, the health secretary, said: “Ensuring more personalisation and better join-up of the system will benefit patients, free up clinician time and help us to bust the Covid backlogs.”
The government plans to create 10,500 specialist data and tech positions as it promotes the use of digital health and social care records to improve information sharing between everyone caring for a patient. Registered care home managers could be given access to GP records.

Ex-Liberty High golfer wins Southern Nevada Amateur
Jackson Parrish’s stellar golf season continued over the weekend when he claimed the prestigious Southern Nevada Amateur for his third title of the year and second in two weeks.
Parrish, a 2021 graduate of Liberty High, finished at 9-under 135 on the Sun Mountain course at Paiute Golf Resort for a four-shot victory over Matt Mitchell. Josh Goldstein was third, seven shots behind.
Parrish shot rounds of 69-66 on the challenging Sun Mountain layout in a stellar performance that included more eagles (three) than bogeys (two) to go with five birdies. One of those eagles was the icing on the cake, holing out from the 18th fairway in the final round.
“It was weird,” Parrish said. “I wasn’t making a ton of birdies but made plenty of eagles. I took advantage of some good shots, especially into the par 5s.”
The win comes two weeks after Parrish captured the Reflection Bay Amateur. Yet he believes there is plenty of room for improvement, pointing to his bunker play and course management as areas he wants to focus on.
“I only made two bogeys in this tournament, and that’s good out here,” he said. “I just want to make sure to avoid making any huge mistakes. That can happen quickly at a course like this.”
In the Senior division, James Corey settled down on the back nine Sunday to finish at 1-over 145 to claim the title by one shot over Steven Fink and David Koch.
The first-round leader after a 71, Corey opened the second round with four bogeys in his first six holes to see his lead vanish. But birdies on Nos. 11 and 16 to go with 10 pars in the final 12 holes got him to the house with a 74 to claim the title.
The 16th was the key hole, as Corey made birdie and Koch bogey for a two-shot swing and a final exchange of the lead.
In the Silver division, Cyrus Whitney finished at par 144 for a four-shot victory over Mike Campbell. Whitney’s final-round 71 was the division’s only subpar round of the tournament.
Other winners included Matthew Affleck (championship net), Jack Kalmanson (senior net) and Loren Little (silver net).
Coming home
Morgan Goldstein, winner of the 2020 Nevada State Women’s Amateur, is leaving Iowa after three seasons to play for UNLV.
Goldstein, who played at Faith Lutheran High, was a two-time Academic All-American at Iowa, where she had four top-10 finishes and seven top-25 finishes. Among her junior accomplishments, Goldstein won the prestigious Drive, Chip and Putt competition at Augusta National in 2015 when, as a 13-year-old, she recorded the only perfect score in the competition’s history.
“We’re very proud to have Morgan come home to play,” UNLV coach Amy Bush-Herzer said. “She has come up through the junior ranks here in Las Vegas and brings with her extensive experience playing in national tournaments and in the Big Ten.”
Knight scholarship
UNLV has announced a new scholarship to be offered annually in honor of Dwaine Knight, the Hall of Famer who stepped down last year as the winningest coach in program history.
The Knight Scholarship will be awarded to one UNLV men’s golfer each year.
“Coach Knight is one of the all-time UNLV legends,” athletic director Erick Harper said. “The program that he built and the success that it achieved is extraordinary, and we continue to celebrate him and his legacy. This scholarship is just one way that we can recognize all that he has done for our university and community.”

A passenger on board the Amtrak train that crashed into a truck and derailed in Missouri on Monday, killing four people, has described the accident as "hell on Earth."
Charles Hoffman was in one of the carriages that overturned at 12:43p.m. CT on the trip between Los Angeles and Chicago.
"I was riding backwards, so that was a blessing because I didn't fly forward on the impact, but all I heard was a bam, bang, boom," he said. "And all of a sudden the train dropped down, which I thought was probably when it went off track."
"And then it was like, bam, bam, bam, bam, riding down the wooden railroad ties."
"It overturned, fell to the left, and it skidded, skidded, skidded forever. I felt like it, anyway."
Hoffman said his window smashed and rocks from the tracks came streaming in.
Amtrak said the train was carrying about 243 passengers and 12 crew members when it collided with a dump truck at a crossing. Three passengers and the driver of the truck died and more than 100 more were injured.
Hoffman said in the moments after the crash, he tried to gain his bearings and see through the dust that filled the carriage.
"All I heard was, 'Are you OK? Anybody in here?" And I'm like, 'I'm in here,'" he said. "I had a long ways to go to get out, but I just kind of rolled my way out. I'm big guy and I kind of pushed my way up. I felt like I had Hercules strength with my adrenaline pumping."
Hoffman got to the top of the overturned carriage and said he was stuck up there for a while until onlookers showed him how to climb down the exposed wheels.
He was taken to hospital where staff tested him for cardiac issues because his heart rate was so high.
After a day in the emergency department, Hoffman said he finally made it home.
"The whole night when I was trying to fall asleep I kept getting flashbacks, and like visuals and things running through my head and it made it very hard to sleep," he said.
"I will say I'll never be on a train again for many years, many, many years."
"I feel blessed to be alive, but bumped up, bruised up, and kind of tattered and sore."
The National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said on Tuesday that a team of 15 had arrived in Missouri to investigate the collision.
Homendy said they were downloading the "event recorder," which would provide information like the speed the train was travelling and when the engineer blew the horn, and they had begun interviewing some of the 12 crew members on board.

Handshakes as Turkey signs agreement to support Finland and Sweden joining Nato
Turkey has signed an agreement to support Finland and Sweden's bid for Nato membership.
The foreign ministers of Sweden, Turkey and Finland shook hands after signing documents.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that the memorandum addressed Turkey's concerns around arms exports and the fight against terrorism. | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-61975382 | 2022-06-28T23:56:00Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-61975382 | true | null |
Inspire your team. Deliver results. Keep costs under control.
Those have always been top responsibilities for leaders and managers at work. But their job duties have grown more time-consuming and complex thanks to the stress of the pandemic, searing political discord, urgent social justice issues, geopolitical earthquakes, the Great Resignation and now recession fears.
Keeping employees focused and happy through it all -- while striving to accommodate everyone's scheduling needs, health concerns and personal obligations on top of their own bosses' demands -- has been ... well, a lot.
"We've never been here, where the entirety of the workforce is experiencing social, economic and psychological change," said attorney Claire Deason at employment law firm Littler Mendelson P.C., who advises clients on their remote work arrangements and the pandemic's impact on the workplace.
That has changed how leaders -- from the C-suite to middle management -- think about work and what they really want in their lives.
C-suite blues
A recent survey of 2,100 respondents from four countries conducted by Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence found that "nearly 70% of the C-suite are seriously considering quitting for a job that better supports their well-being." A large majority of executives (81%) said improving their well-being is now more important than advancing at work.
Meanwhile, in the first five months of 2022, global outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas found that 668 US-based CEOs have left their positions, making it the highest January-through-May total recorded since the firm began tracking monthly CEO changes in 2002.
"The CEO exodus continues. Economic conditions, rising inflation, and recession concerns are making boards rethink leadership and leaders rethink if they want to take on these challenges," said Andrew Challenger, the company's senior vice president.
Middle managers in a tough spot
When it comes to middle management, a survey earlier this year by Gartner of 1,000 mid-level leaders in 13 countries found that roughly a quarter said they feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and 25% said they don't feel mentally engaged at work.
Among other things, they're now under pressure from leadership to get things "back to normal" even though the lives and outlook of the people they manage no longer fit a pre-pandemic normal.
What's more, managers themselves have their own personal pressures and mental health strains to contend with.
And like so many other employees, they too may want to work more flexibly.
But when it comes to working remotely, a lot of companies have different rules for higher-ups than for the rank-and-file, Deason said. The senior executives are often expected to be in the office. And managers who want to rise in the ranks may feel they should do the same, even if they prefer to work from home and are already managing a team that's working remote a lot of the time.
Another major stressor for middle managers: Many are relatively new, hired after a wave of more tenured managers decided to retire early during the pandemic, Challenger said.
"They're learning to be a manager to teams that are remote. And there's not a lot of wisdom or experience they can get from [more tenured managers]. That is exhausting," he noted.
More equilibrium ahead
There is also more pressure on managers to hold teams together when employees have more power than ever and quit rates have been at record highs. And the latest five-month layoff rate was the lowest recorded since Challenger started tracking it in 1993.
"Companies have been hanging onto people and are loathe to let them go in this environment," Challenger said.
He anticipates the hot labor market may start to cool a bit by the end of this year, amid concerns about the economy.
But that cooling may just temper the quit rate, not cause it to plunge. And it may increase layoffs, but not hugely.
Should both those levers move as Challenger predicts, that may settle at least one of the exhausting ambiguities managers and executives have had to contend with lately: How many days people will work in the office versus remote.
To date there's been a big disconnect between what employers want and what their employees want. "Employers going for hybrid may think four days a week and employees think it should be zero," Challenger said. "As the labor market cools, we'll get closer to a new post-Covid equilibrium."
