Dear Heloise: These are a few things I've done in my kitchen that have helped me get organized:
-- I arranged my spices alphabetically.
-- Always have paper plates available to use under items that might spill over in the microwave, or to use as a spoon rest or dustpan.
-- On the inside of my pantry door I have hooks to store my colanders, graters, large spoons and other utensils.
-- I use a rack designed for platters to hold the lids for my pots and pans.
-- All dog food is stored in plastic bins with tight lids. No more ants in the cupboard. -- Vickie T., Wilmore, Kentucky
Dear Heloise: I got tired of replacing the shelf liner in my cabinets. Finally, my husband suggested that we line all the bottom shelves with linoleum. It has been so much easier to get pots and pans out, plus I no longer have to cut and fit shelf lining papers. -- Emma G., Flint, Michigan

Dear Heloise: It's been ages since I last made your Vinaigrette Pasta Salad, and frankly, I have a craving for it right now. But I can't find the recipe. Since we're hosting a Fourth of July party, I'd like to make this for family and friends. Would you reprint the recipe? -- Ivy W., Seabrook, New Hampshire
Ivy, this is one of my summertime favorites. It's easy to make and tastes wonderful! You'll need:
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or jar, mixing vigorously. Makes 1 cup. Set aside to use shortly.
1 pound fettuccini, cooked, drained and cooled
6 ounces sliced salami, cut into 1/4-inch strips
6 ounces cooked ham, cut into 1/4-inch strips
6 ounces thinly sliced fresh spinach, romaine or escarole
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Combine all ingredients except the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over pasta; toss until well coated. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Do you ever lose those instruction booklets that come with kitchen appliances? We always did, and when something broke down, we had nothing to help us repair them. That meant calling in a repairman. Now, we have a two-drawer filing cabinet, and we file away the booklets that come with those appliances. This has prevented grated nerves and calls for an expensive repairman. -- Lori S., Provo, Utah | https://billingsgazette.com/organize-your-kitchen/article_de2e5c1a-f016-11ec-8346-1b9ffa314fd5.html | 2022-06-29T13:04:20Z | https://billingsgazette.com/organize-your-kitchen/article_de2e5c1a-f016-11ec-8346-1b9ffa314fd5.html | true | 6 |
- New 200MW/200MWh facility in Crane County achieved commercial operations and is one of the largest battery energy storage projects in ERCOT
- Jupiter Power's total dispatchable energy storage capacity is now over 450MWh, and the company has another 200MWh project in late-stage commissioning and over 500MWh of projects in late stages of development
- Jupiter Power's ERCOT battery energy storage projects provide fast-responding, firm dispatchable power to enhance reliability and time-shift renewable energy production to times of high consumer demand
AUSTIN, Texas, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jupiter Power LLC ("Jupiter Power") today announced that Crossett Power Management ("Crossett"), a battery energy storage facility located in Crane County, Texas, has commenced commercial operations.
Crossett, a 200-megawatt (MW) facility with 200-megawatt hours (MWh) of duration, is Jupiter's second transmission-connected project to begin operations, demonstrating Jupiter's continued commitment to the ERCOT market and representing a significant investment in Crane County.
Crossett joins Flower Valley II, a 100MW/200MWh transmission connected facility currently operating in Reeves County, Texas, and three distribution connected facilities, positioning Jupiter Power as the largest developer and operator of battery energy storage projects by total duration on the ERCOT grid. Additionally, Jupiter Power is commissioning a subsequent 100MW/200MWh project in West Texas that will be in commercial operations in the summer of 2022.
"We reach yet another significant milestone in our ERCOT battery energy storage portfolio with the commencement of commercial operations at the Crossett facility," said Mike Geier, Chief Technology Officer, Jupiter Power. "We have witnessed the strain that the Texas climate can put on the grid during unseasonably warm days. Jupiter Power's projects like Crossett and Flower Valley II are optimally sited where the grid needs support to enhance resiliency both cost-effectively and reliably."
Jupiter Power's fleet will improve reliability in ERCOT as Texas approaches peak summer demand. Battery energy storage facilities can "time shift" or store low-cost, off-peak energy and discharge it during periods of high demand. Battery energy storage can provide additional support to electricity grids to manage demand through ancillary services, managing load, congestion, and resiliency.
Jupiter is a leading energy storage infrastructure platform with deep trading, analytics, development, finance, operations, and construction capabilities and unparalleled intellectual property in dispatch optimization. Jupiter is backed by EnCap Investments L.P. and Yorktown Partners, and has offices in Austin and Houston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois.

This is the moment a hunter was caught stabbing a fox with a pitchfork in a horrific incident filmed by a secret camera. Paul O’Shea, 49, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty after he was exposed by anti-hunt campaigners on December 4 last year.
A disturbing video shows O'Shea dangling the fox by its tail and using a pitchfork to stab its neck. The fox desperately tries to defend itself as O'Shea pins it against a tree in a woodland near Coggeshall, Essex.
On June 22 O'Shea admitted to hunting a wild mammal with dogs and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. In a video shared by North London Hunt Saboteurs the fox is seen fighting with a small black dog after getting caught in netting.
O'Shea picks up the fox by its tail and removes the net before plunging a pitchfork into the animal's neck. The helpless fox tries to fight back before O'Shea forces it against a tree and again stabs with the pitchfork. O'Shea, of Mount Bures, will be sentenced at the same court on August 1.
Philip Walters, a member of North London Hunt Saboteurs, said: "We are very pleased that Mr O’Shea has pleaded guilty in light of the strong evidence we provided against him. We will continue to expose and prevent illegal fox hunting in Essex and further afield." | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/hunter-caught-stabbing-fox-pitchfork-7271092 | 2022-06-29T13:07:17Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/hunter-caught-stabbing-fox-pitchfork-7271092 | false | 2 |

On April 14, 2022, the Chief Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench (the "Court"), Tracey K. DeWare, answered an important language rights question in Acadian Society of New Brunswick v. The Right Honourable Prime Minister of Canada:1 must the person who holds the office of Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick be bilingual?
Background
On September 4, 2019, on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Privy Council Office recommended that the Governor General of Canada appoint Brenda Louise Murphy, a unilingual English speaker, as Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. In accordance with constitutional convention in Canada, the Governor General complied with the recommendation and signed the Order in Council appointing Ms. Murphy.
The Acadian Society of New Brunswick then brought an application seeking an order of the Court declaring that the Prime Minister's recommendation regarding the appointment of Ms. Murphy was unconstitutional in that it violated sections 16(2), 16.1(2), 18(2), and 20(2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the "Charter") and was not justified under its section 1.
New Brunswick is the only province in Canada where such constitutional guarantees protect the equality of both the French and the English linguistic communities.
Justiciability of the issue
In her judgment Chief Justice DeWare agreed to consider whether the Prime Minister's advice that led to the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor Murphy was compliant with the language rights conferred by the Charter on the people of New Brunswick.
After reviewing the Canadian case law on justiciability, the Court found that it now appears settled law that all government action, including the exercise of prerogative powers, is reviewable by the courts when violations of Charter rights are alleged.2
Substantive equality requires that New Brunswickers be able to interact with their head of state in the language of their choice
The Court began its analysis by noting that Canadian case law clearly establishes that the equality of the two official languages enshrined in the Charter creates obligations for the institutions of government and the legislature rather than for the individuals who work in them.3
The Court however held that it would be simplistic to disregard the provisions of the Charter at issue on the ground that the office of Lieutenant-Governor is held by an individual.4 On that point, it noted the uniqueness of the office, whose holder acts as head of state of New Brunswick. In the circumstances, the Court found that it was difficult to reconcile the appointment of a unilingual person with a purposive interpretation of the provisions of the Charter at issue or with the spirit of those provisions.5 In fact, according to Chief Justice DeWare, substantive equality requires that the members of both constitutionally recognized linguistic communities be able to interact directly with their head of state in the official language of their choice.6
Chief Justice DeWare did not distinguish between recommending the appointment of a unilingual French speaking person and recommending the appointment of a unilingual English speaking person as Lieutenant-Governor:
[56] The current application before the Court involves a unilingual anglophone Lieutenant-Governor. It is perhaps important to acknowledge that there has never been a unilingual francophone Lieutenant-Governor in the Province of New Brunswick. The legal arguments before the Court would be the same if the Lieutenant-Governor was a unilingual francophone; however, such a situation has never arisen in the Province of New Brunswick. A frank acknowledgment of this reality is helpful to the present analysis.
The Court therefore concluded that the Prime Minister's recommendation to appoint Ms. Murphy, a unilingual anglophone, as Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick violated sections 16(2), 16.1(2), and 20(2) of the Charter. The Court added that section 1 of the Charter was not relevant in the circumstances, especially since it was not argued by either of the respondents in the case, i.e., the Prime Minister and the Governor General.7
Remedy left to the federal executive branch
Concerned about the legal instability that might arise if the Court invalidated the Order in Council appointing Ms. Murphy as Lieutenant-Governor, Chief Justice DeWare refused to declare the Order in Council invalid and instead disposed of the case as follows:
[76] For all these reasons, the court orders as follows:
(i) Pursuant to sections 16 (2), 16.1 (2) and 20 (2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms a Lieutenant-Governor in the Province of New Brunswick must be bilingual and capable of executing all tasks required of the Role of Lieutenant-Governor in both the English and the French Languages; ...
The Court thereby left it to the federal executive branch to take "appropriate and prompt action ... to rectify the situation."8 The federal government has recently announced its intention to appeal the decision.9
Conclusion
If this decision is confirmed on appeal, it could have repercussions both in New Brunswick and at the federal level. We would note that the current Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary May Simon, is not fluent in French. A bill to require that the holder of the office of Governor General be bilingual is currently before the Senate.10 Clearly, this is not the last we will hear about the bilingualism of the Queen's representatives in Canada.

Rick Baldridge to Become Vice Chairman
CARLSBAD, Calif., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat Inc.

Baldridge will focus on the remaining steps to closing the Inmarsat acquisition, and the organizational integration planning and execution strategy to position the combined companies to achieve the financial and operational objectives underpinning the transaction - including cost, capital, and revenue synergies already identified.

Through their close and selfless partnership Mark and Rick have created and led an exceptional management team that is delivering outstanding growth in the satellite industry.
"A combination of technology and strategy leadership in a rapidly growing and dynamic market, plus integration of the best aspects of Viasat's and Inmarsat's executive, operational, and go-to-market skills will be required to achieve our objectives.

Magic-based battle royale Spellbreak shutting down
UPDATE: Acquired by Blizzard to work on World of Warcraft.UPDATE 1.30pm UK: Spellbreak developer Proletariat has been acquired by Blizzard, it has just been announced (thanks, Venturebeat).
All of Proletariat's 100-person staff will now be enveloped into Blizzard's World of Warcraft team, including work on its upcoming Dragonflight expansion.
Blizzard previously absorbed Vicarious Visions, the talented studio behind various Activision titles including the recent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. That studio ultimately ended up working on Diablo franchise and has now been renamed Blizzard Albany.
ORIGINAL STORY 11.45am UK: Spellbreak, the battle royale where everyone is a wizard, will shut down in 2023.
The game's developer Proletariat confirmed Spellbreak's end in a blog post today, and confirmed that servers will go dark early next year.
"Breakers, after more than four years of elemental magic and spell combinations, we've made the decision to end development of Spellbreak," Proletariat wrote. "Thank you to the millions of players who have joined us in the Hollow Lands since 2018; it's been an amazing journey."
Eurogamer took a look at Spellbreak back in 2020, and found it to be pretty fun. Each match's early game included the usual battle royale scavenging for loot (here - elemental gauntlets to let you wield specific powers).
The effects of the game's elemental magic could then be wielded and used in combat, and combined to create some flashy results - such as electrical tornadoes, or toxic gas that was set on fire.
"Our vision was to create a fresh, multiplayer action-spellcasting game with exceptional movement and class customisation that would give players the chance to unleash their inner battlemage," Proletariat reflected today.
"Spellbreak was an ambitious project that saw our team push new boundaries in design and development and we are excited to continue to innovate as we create new titles in the future. To all Spellbreak fans around the world, thank you for the support and dedication that made the game and community so special."

Ogun Workers are Right to Demand their Entitlements, Says PDP Chieftain
Sunday Okobi
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial candidate for Ogun Central, Ogun State, Chief Olumide Aderinokun, has called on the state Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to prioritise and pay attention to the grievances of the state workers.
Reacting to the workers’ resolution to embark on an indefinite strike from yesterday, Aderinokun noted that he observed that the state government is making life harder for public employees by deducting from their salaries “that has not been reviewed in years.”
The organised labour held a peaceful gathering at the Arcade ground, Abeokuta, last Monday which had leaders of the National Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) present.
The gathering ended with a decision to start an indefinite strike which will leave all public buildings, including schools, hospitals among others closed.
Worried by the decaying public service system in Ogun State, Aderinokun admonished Abiodun-led government to honour the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the organised Labour in 2020.
According to the PDP chieftain, “A government that prioritises the people’s needs would have averted this industrial action, because it is the least action the people deserve at this time of harsh economic circumstances.
“As a matter of fact, no one will question the workers for demanding the full payment of their salaries with the current reality we are facing in the country.
“Ogun State workers deserve better welfare and attention, just like on Monday when no government official answered their call at the Arcade ground. Civil servants are key players in the socio-economic development of the state.
“The government needs to honour the agreement they signed with organised Labour in September 2020. It is that simple, and a great leader should care for his workforce.” | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/06/29/ogun-workers-are-right-to-demand-their-entitlements-says-pdp-chieftain/ | 2022-06-29T13:24:34Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/06/29/ogun-workers-are-right-to-demand-their-entitlements-says-pdp-chieftain/ | true | 2 |

HONOLULU and PHOENIX, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Preserving Pearl Harbor's landmarks and the memory of our fallen heroes for future generations is a worthy endeavor. Restoration of the Ford Island Control Tower is part of that ongoing effort.
Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8741852-u-haul-ford-island-control-tower-renovations-pearl-harbor/
Pearl Harbor visitors now have access to an unforgettable new experience with The Top of the Tower Tour. The tour offers 360-degree views of America's WWII Aviation Battlefield from the tower's observation deck, thanks to an elevator gifted by the Shoen family of U-Haul®. The attraction opened on Memorial Day.
But there is work still to be done.
U-Haul invites the public to follow its lead and help the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum finish restoring the Ford Island Control Tower.
While $7 million has gone into tower repairs over the last decade, the task of replacing the tower windows remains. Half of the $800,000 needed to complete the final restoration phase must come from donations. This initiative will help preserve Pearl Harbor's hallowed grounds and an irreplaceable WWII landmark while honoring the veterans of the Greatest Generation.
Of course, unplanned giving is not always an option during difficult economic times. Simply sharing word of the restoration project and donation opportunity is appreciated. Taking The Top of the Tower Tour in Honolulu, Hawaii is another great way to provide support.
Pearl Harbor holds special significance for U-Haul, which was started by a U.S. Navy veteran and his wife in 1945 as WWII was coming to a victorious end. U-Haul has been headquartered in Arizona since 1967. The Top of the Tower Tour offers views of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial featuring the USS Arizona Memorial, as well as Battleship Row, where eight ships were bombed and four sunken, the Arizona among them. Veterans affiliated with U-Haul who served in the Pacific Theater are honored with a display in the tower lobby.
"Reopening the Ford Island Control Tower is another way to honor the memories and preserve the stories of the brave individuals who sacrificed their lives defending our freedom," stated Joe Shoen, U-Haul Chairman and son of founders L.S. "Sam" and Anna Mary Carty Shoen.
Today, U-Haul actively recruits veterans and offers them hiring preference, while also working with numerous charitable organizations that support veterans' causes. Well over 1,300 veterans are employed by U-Haul.
Details of the tower renovations can be found at pearlharboraviationmuseum.org.

I got COVID (again). I'm staying home (again). Why are so few following the rules?
After I tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago, my doctor prescribed the anti-viral Paxlovid, which would lessen the severity of the disease.

Opinion columnist
I feel like a schmuck.
After I tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago, my doctor prescribed the anti-viral Paxlovid, which would lessen the severity of the disease. The only hitch, she explained, was that a small percentage of those taking this drug experience "rebound," also called "rapid relapse," meaning they develop symptoms anew after apparent recovery. Even worse, they test positive again shortly after a negative test. She pointed out that even more people might be rebounding than early data showed. | https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2022/06/29/covid-rebound-case-feel-schmuck/7750312001/?gnt-cfr=1 | 2022-06-29T13:34:25Z | https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2022/06/29/covid-rebound-case-feel-schmuck/7750312001/?gnt-cfr=1 | false | null |
NEW YORK, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PILATO ENTERTAINMENT - Multi-platinum supergroup ASIA soon will announce an extensive US tour set to promote the 40th Anniversary of its multi-platinum debut album and a new ASIA IN ASIA box set. The tour, originally set for August as a co-bill with Alan Parsons Live Project, has been rescheduled for early 2023 to accommodate a medical procedure needed by Mr. Parsons. Dates will be announced shortly.
This will be the ASIA's first tour since 2019 with founding members Carl Palmer (drums); Geoff Downes (keyboards, bkg vocals); with Billy Sherwood (bass, bkg vocals); and new member guitarist and lead vocalist Marc Bonilla.
"We were hoping to be out this August, however moving the tour to early next year so we can remain on a co-bill with The Alan Parsons Project will be well worth it," said Carl Palmer. "I am so thrilled that ASIA has finally been able to perform after three years off the road due to the pandemic. We have much to celebrate."
"ASIA has been through a lot during these last four decades," adds Geoff Downes, "but the music has always endured. The fans have never left us, nor we them. This tour will be historic."
In addition to its 40th Anniversary, the band will promote ASIA In Asia – Live At The Budokan, Tokyo, 1983, a deluxe box set containing: 2LP, 2xCD, 40 page 12" book, Blu-ray video, memorabilia and more, through BMG Records. Also available are LP, CD and digital formats.

ASIA, Geoff Downes (Buggles & YES), Steve Howe (YES) and Carl Palmer (ELP) with special guest vocalist and bassist Greg Lake (ELP), visited Japan to promote their phenomenally successful debut album (1982) and Alpha (1983). Their performance at the Budokan Arena on December 6th, 1983, made history as first live simulcast on MTV. Lake stepped in on short notice, replacing John Wetton due to illness.
ASIA was a rock 'supergroup' bringing together Wetton, Palmer, Downes and Howe who had already amassed tens of millions in sales with their collective bands of the 70s. Leaving behind their progressive roots, ASIA embraced the commercial FM rock sound that dominated US airwaves and took the new MTV video channel, by storm. The single Heat Of The Moment was a world-wide monster smash while its debut album spent 9 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts becoming the biggest selling LP of 1982.

The Antigua and Barbuda Football Association’s (ABFA) Technical Director, Sowerby Gomes, has denied reports of disquiet among members of the national under-20 men’s football team regarding the methods employed by head coach, George “Cajawawa” Warner.
Speaking on the Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Gomes said he personally had not received any reports or complaints from any player during their Group D campaign in Honduras last week, in which the young Benna Boys were beaten in all three of their matches, and finished at the bottom of the table.
“Nothing could be furthest from the truth. The players did have a meeting, as with all national teams, just to get themselves all psyched up for the game, but in terms of having a meeting to discuss displeasure in the coach or coaching staff, there was no such meeting. In fact, the players had a meeting in which I was present and expressed certain things they were looking for, but none of them ever expressed to me any displeasure in regards to the coaches or coaching style,” he said.
Reports had surfaced that players expressed dissatisfaction over Warner’s coaching methods and what were termed “abrasive” communication skills while they were in Honduras for the CONCACAF tournament.
In contrast, Gomes said he received positive reviews regarding the performance of the team and it’s coaching staff, despite the poor results.
“After our first games [against Honduras], the head scout for Chicago Fire, Andy Herron, approached me to have an audience with [me] and the coach. What he [expressed] was the method of play of the team and he lauded the efforts of the coaching staff and the way in which the coaches were pushing the players,” he said.
“He [said] … he saw a level of play where, in spite of the fact they were down, the fight that they saw, the togetherness in attack, the togetherness in defense, how they make lateral runs … the games could have changed either way had we put away those chances,” the former national and Villa defender added.
Highlighting one of the few positives coming out of the team’s participation in the championships, Gomes pointed out midfielder Zahiem Green who finished with the highest number of passes in Group D and the third best overall following the group stages.
“We had one of our young players in the midfield — young Zahiem Green — who would have made 166 passes, and 160 completed out of 166. It speaks volumes because we had to be in a great deal of possession for him to make those complete passes, so we can see the development in stride. But all in all, we need to finish when we get our opportunities,” he said.
Antigua and Barbuda, despite being competitive in the first 45 minutes of the matches, lost all three matches in Group D and failed to score a single goal throughout. They were beaten 3-0 by both Honduras and Costa Rica before going under to Jamaica 2-0 in their final encounter. | https://antiguaobserver.com/furthest-from-the-truth-gomes-denies-reports-under-20-players-were-dissatisfied-with-coachs-methods-attitude%EF%BF%BC/ | 2022-06-29T13:36:39Z | https://antiguaobserver.com/furthest-from-the-truth-gomes-denies-reports-under-20-players-were-dissatisfied-with-coachs-methods-attitude%EF%BF%BC/ | false | 1 |

MONTRÉAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2022 / St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTCQB:SXOOF)(FSE:85G1) is pleased to announce that, following three weeks of fieldwork and the completion of approximately 75% of the planned surface exploration campaign, several new pegmatites have been identified on the Company’s Notre-Dame Project in Québec.
The Patro zone pegmatite was discovered near the center of the project and is characterized by two to possibly three horizons of 6 to 20 meters wide. The total length is still unknown. The second zone, the Team Zone, is located at the eastern limit of the Company’s current claims block. Its average thickness is 2 to 3 meters and, although dislocated, can be traced over a distance of at least 300 meters.
Several pegmatite dikes have been identified at surface by the Company. Eighty samples were taken in the outcrops identified as pegmatite dikes. All the newly discovered dikes crosscut either gneiss or paragneiss. Furthermore, the carbonatite identified by the Québec government during a previous exploration effoart in 2021, the “Grand Lac Brochet” rare earth showing, has been resampled by the Company’s contracted field geologists and sent to ALS laboratories for assays. The carbonatite horizon is 5 to 10m wide and can be traced over 75 meters of outcrop. The carbonatite seems to be linked to a North-South kilometric prospective structure.
A total of 210 samples were collected in this first exploration phase and sent to ALS laboratories for assays. All results are pending. The second portion of the initial phase of the exploration effort should allow the Company to define a detailed map for each zone of interest identified. Channel sampling, trenching, and an initial drilling campaign will be planned based on the results obtained from the completed phase of the exploration campaign.

FQHC executives report that piecemealed technology is a significant contributor to staff and patient retention challenges
BRADENTON, Fla., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2000, the number of patients served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) has tripled. In 2020 alone, it is estimated that more than 29 million people received care at an FQHC. And as demand grows, so do the challenges.
From staffing shortages to financial constraints and upheavals in Medicaid coverage, the landscape is changing. These challenges are handcuffing the vast majority of FQHCs in their efforts to provide greater healthcare access to their underserved communities. These findings, including how using multiple disjointed point solutions contributes to this growing list of challenges, comprise a new report from Qure4u, an all-in-one digital health platform that optimizes patient care before, during, and after visits.
The report, titled "Mounting FQHC Challenges Point to Need for Integrated Technologies," is based on an independent survey of 71 FQHC leaders nationwide and was conducted in March 2022 by healthcare consultancy Sage Growth Partners and commissioned by Qure4u. This report finds that staff recruitment and retention is a top FQHC strategic imperative (60%) in the next 12-24 months, followed by improving the patient experience (44%) and recovering patient volumes (33%).
Other key findings include:
- 33% of FQHC leaders said budget and financial limitations continue to impede their mission.
- 83% of FQHCs fall within the middle of the technology adoption curve, while 34% are ready to try a new technology at an early adoption stage.
- 87% said the most important technology is a digital solution platform that addresses a variety of use cases, rather than using niche solutions from multiple vendors.
"As a physician, I am keenly aware that point solutions added haphazardly to practice workflows often end up causing more problems than they solve," said Monica Bolbjerg, MD, co-founder and CEO of Qure4u. "Solutions from various vendors that don't integrate with EHRs create more burden for patients and burnout for staff. The research confirms that, for FQHCs, a holistic platform is critical."
The report shares that nearly all FQHCs offer telehealth (97%) and patient portal (92%) solutions. Some also use digital patient experience tools for personalized care plans (49%), payment collection (46%), and self-scheduling (45%).
Within the next year, FQHCs expect to invest further in digital front door technologies. For 66% of respondents, this term refers to a strategy to optimize patient access and experience, while (45%) said it relates to implementing processes that reduce manual tasks for staff members. To that end, investment for digital patient intake (27%), self-scheduling (23%), and remote patient monitoring (23%) tools top the list.
Of respondents likely to purchase new technology within the next two years, 96% said that a single-platform solution is important. They said that training (62%), tech support (61%), and data-only interfaces (58%) rank as the main concerns with point solutions. Many stated that maintenance of multiple vendor contracts (49%) and the inefficiency created by multiple sign-in requirements (46%) disrupt staff workflows.
FQHC leaders value a single technology platform that integrates digital front door, telehealth, and remote patient monitoring with a seamless interface. All respondents said that it would increase clinical efficiency, increase patient engagement (86%), and decrease staff time spent on manual tasks (57%).

Immediately following the conclusion of this study, we are planning to launch a second study with human size implants that mimic commercial products. These studies will advance us to the significant stage of human clinical trials."
CollPlant's bioprinted regenerative implants aim to overcome the challenges of existing breast procedures that use silicone implants or autologous fat transfer. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 350,000 people have reported adverse events involving breast implants between 2009 and 2019. Reports range from autoimmune symptoms to breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). CollPlant's regenerative breast implants are comprised of the Company's proprietary plant-derived rhCollagen, an ideal building block for regenerative medicine implants attributed to better bio-functionality, superior homogeneity, and improved safety. The printed implant is intended to degrade over time while promoting natural tissue regeneration and integration with host tissue. 3D bioprinting technology enables scalable production of highly precise and repeatable constructs, which can be customized to the individual anatomy of patients. The implants are designed to withstand physiological loads and to provide what CollPlant believes is a safer, more natural, and long-lasting alternative to current breast reconstruction and augmentation procedures.
To date, CollPlant has successfully produced prototypes of 3D bioprinted implants designed to regenerate breast tissue and evaluated these in a series of preclinical studies. The Company is now approaching an important milestone with the launch of a large animal study that involves the implantation of reduced-size 3D bioprinted implants in a clinically relevant porcine animal model. The study, which is planned to be concluded within six months, will evaluate adipose tissue regeneration, tissue integration, vascularization of the implant, implant degradation rate, and host tissue response to the implant. The study will also include screening of compositions and optimization of the surgical procedure, which will serve as the basis for the design of a pivotal large study with human size implants.
In the product development process, CollPlant uses computational modeling tools that enable an optimal design of the implant in terms of geometry, materials, physical properties, and biological environment. The modeling takes into consideration the internal anatomy of the breast tissue and the behavior of an implant, post-implantation. The implant testing is rigorous and includes static and dynamic loading in order to mimic breast tissue behavior under different conditions and comply with the most stringent safety requirements.

Since Miles Teller made his breakthrough performance as an ambitious jazz drummer in the award-winning film Whiplash, he has starred in many notable films and is recognized as a widely acclaimed actor. Some of his most notable projects include The Divergent Series (trilogy), Top Gun: Maverick, and, most recently, Spiderhead, which was released on Netflix.
Many will find it hard to believe that Teller was paid a mere $8000 for his role as Andrew Neiman in the Oscar-winning film Whiplash. It was, however, a sacrifice worth making because his role in the film has led him to be one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood.
‘The Spectacular Now’ (2013)
The coming-of-age romantic drama film, The Spectacular Now, which stars Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley as the leading roles, is based on Tim Tharp’s 2008 novel of the same name. It follows the story of two high-schoolers, Sutter and Aimee, and an unexpected romance that blossomed between the two. Recognized actors such as Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bob Odenkirk, and Brie Larson also play supporting roles in the film.
Film critic Roger Ebert praised the film’s authenticity by recognizing that the main characters “speak and feel like real 18-year-old middle-American human beings. Do you have any idea how rare that is?” He also compared Teller’s performance in the film to John Cusack’s iconic role in Say Anything. Spin’s Phoebe Reilly also complimented Teller and Woodley for their “absurdly natural performances” and Sutter (Miles Teller) being “uniquely irresistible.”
‘War Dogs’ (2016)
Todd Philips’ black comedy-crime film War Dogs stars Miles Teller as a massage therapist, David Packouz, and Jonah Hill as a US government arms dealer, Efraim Diveroli. David gets offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from his old friend Efraim to make big bucks by joining him and his company AEY Inc. as an international arms dealer. They live the high life for quite some time, but things quickly take a turn after they land a $300 million deal to supply the Afghan forces.
War Dogs grossed $86.2 million worldwide, with $14.3 million grossed in its opening weekend. Despite an impressive cast, including Ana de Armas and Bradley Cooper starring alongside Teller and Hill, the film received mixed reviews from the viewers and critics. It scored 57 out of 100 on Metacritic, suggesting its “mixed or average reviews.”
‘Whiplash’ (2014)
Miles Teller made his breakthrough performance in Damien Chazelle’s 2014 award-winning psychological drama film, Whiplash. He plays a determined jazz drummer, Andrew Neiman, who goes to extreme lengths and is pushed to his limits by his abusive instructor, Terence Fletcher (J. K. Simmons). Paul Reiser played Teller’s father in the film.
During its premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, it won the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize for drama. The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy praised Teller’s performance, writing: “Teller, who greatly impressed in last year’s Sundance entry The Spectacular Now, does so again in a performance that is more often simmering than volatile.” Fortunately, Teller knew how to play the drums and only needed lessons to learn jazz drumming. The film's editor Tom Cross said Teller “did probably 99 percent of the drumming” himself.
‘The Divergent Series’ (2014 - 2016)
Teller posed as the central antagonist, Peter Hayes, across the three films of The Divergent Series. His character is depicted as competitive, cruel, violent, and often a danger to others. Teller shares the screen with his The Spectacular Now co-star Shailene Woodley, and others such as Theo James, Jai Courtney, Ashley Judd, Zoë Kravitz, and Ansel Elgort.
Despite the success of the first and second films, the third film of The Divergent Series performed poorly at the box office, and this caused the cancelation of the fourth film. For this reason, the last film was left on a cliffhanger.
‘Footloose’ (2011)
Footloose (2011) is a remake of the original 1984 musical film of the same name. Miles Teller plays the role of Willard Hewitt, who becomes friends with the protagonist of the film, Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald), and tells him about the ban on unsupervised dancing in the town of Bomont, Georgia.
The film received mixed reviews, with some favoring it and others not so much. Entertainment Weekly’s Lisa Schwarzbaum praised Wormald’s performance and said he “handily owns the role for a new audience." Others, such as Roger Ebert, described the film as “a film without wit, humor or purpose” and criticized it as being too close to the 1984 original.
‘Only the Brave’
Only the Brave is a biographical drama film based on Sean Flynn’s GQ article, “No Exit” The film follows the story of a firefighter crew from Prescott, Arizona, known as the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who lost 19 to 20 members in the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire. The ensemble cast includes Josh Brolin, James Badge Dale, Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, and many more.
Despite an impressive ensemble cast, the film was a box-office flop, having just grossed $26.3 million against a budget of $38 million. And although it wasn’t highly successful at the box office, the film has a fairly high rating of 7.6/10 on IMDb and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’
Top Gun: Maverick is the sequel to the 1986 Top Gun. It was released just before Netflix’s Spiderhead, with the film still showing on many screens worldwide. Miles Teller plays the role of Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, a pilot in the mission training group, and he stars alongside Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, and more.
In an interview with Men’s Journal, Teller mentioned all the hard work that he and the whole team put into the film, “There is no green screen in a Top Gun movie,” He further noted that the production of Top Gun: Maverick was the longest shoot he had ever been a part of, as it took a whole year to shoot the film. Teller also had to undergo three months of flight training before shooting the movie so that he would be familiar and get “comfortable with the crafts.”
‘Too Old to Die Young’
Miles Teller jumped on the television wagon for his first significant leading role in a crime drama miniseries, Too Old to Die Young. He plays a grieving corrupt police officer, Martin Jones, who had just lost his partner, Larry (Lance Gross). Martin later learns that the man who shot his partner is Jesus Rojas (Augusto Aguilera), whose mother Martin killed.
Too Old to Die Young was rated 7.3/10 on IMDb and 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Gregory Ellwooddescribed the series as “dated and tired and Refn should have known better,” while others, such as The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw, gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said, “Too Old to Die Young is macabre, and nauseating in many ways, but very well made and very watchable.” Teller’s performance and Nicolas Winding Refn’s directing style received praise, but the series was criticized for its depiction of sexual violence and treatment of female characters. And in 2019, Amazon released a statement that there wouldn’t be a second season for the miniseries.
‘Bleed for This’
In this biographical film, Teller takes on the role of champion boxer Vincenzo “Vinny The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza alongside Aaron Eckhart, Katey Segal, Ciarán Hinds, and Ted Levine. He struggled with his reputation after losing to Roger Mayweather for the WBC World Light Welterweight Title due to his lack of diligence. After a few matches, he fights Panamanian boxer Robert Duran but suffers a critical neck injury, and the doctor later tells him that he may not be able to walk again.
The film has a rating of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the website’s consensus reads, “Bleed for Thisrises on the strength of Miles Teller’s starring performance to deliver a sold fact-based boxing drama that takes a few genre clichés on the chin but keeps on coming.” Variety’s Peter Debrugealso described Teller’s performance as “terrific.”
‘The Offer’
After Too Old to Die Young, Teller decided to star in yet another television miniseries called The Offer. The biographical drama miniseries tells the story of the development and production of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather (1972). Miles Teller plays the role of Albert S. Ruddy, the producer of The Godfather (1972) and other award-winning projects such as Million Dollar Baby.
Ruddy is also one of the executive producers of The Offer. Despite a rating of 8.7/10 on IMDb, its counterpart, Rotten Tomatoes ranked The Offer at a mere 50%, with the website consensus summarising the series as “Overstuffed with unnecessary subplots and cloying links at showbiz history, this is an Offer you can refuse.”
‘Rabbit Hole’
Miles Teller made his feature film debut in Rabbit Hole. The film stars Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart as the leading roles of a grieving couple who had just lost their four-year-old son, Danny. Teller plays the character of Jason, the teenage driver of the car that accidentally hit Danny.
Rabbit Hole received a standing ovation at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. Variety’s Peter Debrugedescribed the film as “a refreshingly positive-minded take on cinema’s ultimate downer: overcoming the death of a child.” In an interview with Digital Spy, Teller opened up about his experience working on his first film. He recalled Kidman’s refusal to talk to him on set because she wanted to display their broken relationship on and off-screen. There was never any bad blood between the two, but Teller remembered the process as a “horrible” experience. | https://collider.com/miles-teller-performances-to-check-out-after-spiderhead/ | 2022-06-29T13:51:36Z | https://collider.com/miles-teller-performances-to-check-out-after-spiderhead/ | true | 1 |
Justice Ladiran Akintola ruled that the lawmakers should maintain the status quo pending the hearing of the application for interlocutory injunction filed by Olaniyan’s counsel, Chief Afolabi Fashanu (SAN).
Court restrains Oyo Assembly from impeaching Deputy Governor
The Oyo State High Court in Ibadan on Wednesday ordered the state House of Assembly to suspend the impeachment move against the Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan.
Akintola, thereafter, adjourned the case until Tuesday, for the hearing of the respondent’s reply.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olaniyan instituted the suit against the House of Assembly, the Clerk and the Speaker, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin, over the impeachment action against him by the lawmakers.
Fashanu had earlier filed an application for interim injunction restraining the Assembly from taking any step in pursuant of the impeachment of the applicant.
He prayed the court to rule that status quo should be maintained, pending the hearing, so that the application would not be defeated
Counsel to the respondents, Mr A. A. Olabiyi, orally applied to the court for extension of time to respond to the motion .
Olabiyi said that he was served the motion on notice at the close of work on Tuesday.
NAN recalls that following the defection of the deputy governor from the Peoples Democratic Party to All Progressives Congress, subsequently the legislative initiated impeachment moves against him two weeks ago.
He was accused of financial recklessness, gross misconduct and insubordination, among other allegations.

Jim Miller (34-16, 1 no contest, 28 finishes) will hit the octagon on the preliminary card (8 p.m. on ABC) of the UFC 276 pay-per-view Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas against Donald Cerrone (36-16, 2 no contests, 27 finishes), extending his UFC record to 40 appearances with the promotion in the rematch with “Cowboy.” The 38-year-old Sparta, N.J., native spoke recently via phone with Scott Fontana for this week’s Post Fight Interview before his first UFC welterweight bout, which was put together on short notice after original opponent Bobby Green withdrew last week.
Q: You’re about to hit 40 fights in the UFC. First to do it. Are you able to take stock of your career and appreciate accomplishments like that?
A: Yes and no. Originally, I planned on being done at 34 years old, so for a little bit beyond that (laughs). So we’ve definitely gone well beyond what I originally planned. I’ve always been the hardest on myself. Nobody can talk s–t about me like I tell myself in my own head (laughs). It’s always been that way. I’ve always expected more out of myself, and that’s why I’ve been able to do the things that I’ve done because of holding-myself-accountable type of s–t. But sometimes, especially when somebody pisses me off, it’s like, “Well, hold on a second. Wait a minute here.” Getting to 40 fights in the UFC is pretty ridiculous, and having the only fight that I’ve ever had to pull out of be because I got COVID. … But there are times where I think about it, and it’s like, “Wow, I’ve done some pretty cool stuff and some stuff that nobody will ever do. It doesn’t happen that often though because, honestly, I’ve just been living in it. I’ve just been fighting.
Q: Your goal is to compete at UFC 300 after having fought at UFC 100 and 200. Is it your goal for that to be your last fight?
A: I think so. That’s another two years, and that’s four to six fights. It’s a lot, but it’s not a lot at the same time (laughs). There’s definitely a side of me that’s ready to hang them up and focus on something new. But I still do love it. I love fighting and I feel like I’m learning every day. And that’s really what it comes down to. I’m making progress in a lot of areas. Obviously, I’m not the 26-year-old athlete that I was, at 38 now, so there’s definitely limitations that I have these days that I didn’t back in the day. But on the flip side, I feel like I’ve made a ton of ground in technique and just figuring myself out. I still get tunnel vision, and I fought with a lot of tunnel vision early in my career. I lost fights because of it, and I feel like I’ve been learning more about myself in the last few [years] and how to get the most out of myself and get the most out of the skill set that I have, and I feel like I can carry that through another couple fights.
Q: You had 4 KOs or TKOs in your first 16 years as a pro, and then you pick up two in a row after you turn 38. To what do you attribute that?
A: That’s kind of the blessing in disguise of Lyme disease. I lost my athleticism and was still fighting (laughs). It took me years to get it back, and like I said, it’s not like [how] I was when I was in my 20s. There were a few years there where I was not the athlete that I should have been, fighting in the UFC. But I was still making ground in my technical abilities. I was still learning, I was still adapting, and I feel in my maturity as a man now — as an old man is the division — I feel like it’s helping me, and I’m being a little bit more [tactical] and setting things up more and realizing, like, hey man, it only takes one opportunity. Whereas when I was young, it was just static (yells). Just go! (laughs) That’s why I’ve got so many submission attempts because I pounced on things that weren’t necessarily there. Now, granted, I use them to set up other other positions and get that snowball going, but I feel like I’m a lot more calculated in the way that I fight.
Q: Do you recall your first experience watching MMA?
A: I was at a wrestling camp with the high school team. I was going into the eighth grade; both my brothers were on the high school team, so I went to camp with them. One of the coaches, who ended up being my coach and was the assistant at the time, he brought a VHS of, I think, UFC 3 or something like that. I remember watching it, and I was like, that’s scary as s–t, and I kind of want to do it (laughs).
Q: You can fight any person who ever lived. Who do you pick?
A: Teddy Roosevelt.
Q: Typical walkaround weight between fights?
A: These days, about 175 [pounds]. It used to be pushing 190, and then in 2016, when I was on doxycycline the first time for my Lyme, I ended up going to the bathroom so much (laughs), and I couldn’t keep weight on, and I lost, like, 15 pounds. It was pretty bad (laughs).
Q: Typical weight on fight night for a lightweight bout?
A: About 172.
Q: Fight-day routine before competition?
A: Not necessarily. I’m the type that I do not like to eat within hours before, so I’ll eat a good breakfast, and that’s about it. I’ll maybe have a bar, a shake or something like that for lunch. I perform so much better on an empty stomach. That’s the only thing I worry about is, like, “Hey, just don’t eat too late” because then I’ll be in the fight, and I’ll be burping it up (laughs). My stomach, I guess, just does not work quickly, especially nowadays.
Q: What’s your favorite fight of yours from your regional days?
A: Probably my first one. I was so freaking nervous leading up to that fight. Still to this day, I’ve never won a street fight, so I’d never been in a fight before, a real one. I remember not being able to sleep for weeks leading up to it, [thinking] what the hell am I doing? Didn’t have the easiest camp. Got a giant cauliflower ear, dealt with some other s–t. Ended up getting to this fight super nervous, and Dan [Miller, my older brother,] went out and fought two fights before me. So I go out, I corner him, he triangles this kid in [2:20]. And I remember the weight gets lifted off my shoulders, and I’m going back to continue my warmup and I’m skipping (laughs). Like, “Hey! Stop! Man up a little bit here, Jimmy.” Then I went out and fought hard and got the “W.”
Q: Who in MMA do you most admire?
A: Demetrious Johnson … just his technical ability and athleticism. There are plenty of guys that are athletes and technical, but he is a guy right that [was] going for submissions in the last little bit of a fight, as the champ, knowing you’ve got the fight in the bag, I love that. I love that style. I love that mindset of just going for that finish and and always pressing for it.
Q: What’s the coolest technique in combat sports?
A: I’d have to say [Johnson’s] armbar [against Ray Borg], where he picked them up and swung over for the armbar. That was hot. The name [Mighty Wiz Bar] sucks (laughs). They should work on that part. But the technique was awesome.
Q: Is there a great MMA movie?
A: Nothing I’ve seen.
Q: Favorite movie?
A: “Red Dawn.” Obviously, the original. That remake was garbage.
Q: Favorite outdoor activity?
A: I love hunting. It’s part of my life. It’s more of a lifestyle thing than, like, fishing. I look at fishing as more of a pastime and a hobby. But getting to fish with my kids is pretty cool.
Q: Favorite video game?
A: I got the kids a [PlayStation 5] for Christmas, and I got to play the “UFC” game, show them that I’m on there (laughs). But I’m not a video game guy.
Q: What’s a perfect day for you that doesn’t involve fighting?
A: Just spending time with my family. I wouldn’t call myself a busybody (laughs), but I like to do stuff. I like to accomplish things. Get s–t done. So maybe get some stuff done around the house. There’s always something, and I like to knock some tasks off of the list. Having barbecue or something like that; my family and friends over and cooking for the people that I love and hanging out and relaxing. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/29/jim-miller-leaning-toward-ufc-300-in-2-years-for-final-fight/ | 2022-06-29T14:04:42Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/29/jim-miller-leaning-toward-ufc-300-in-2-years-for-final-fight/ | false | 3 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — A multinational task force designed to seize Russian oligarchs’ wealth has blocked and frozen $30 billion in sanctioned individuals’ property and funds in its first 100 days in operation, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday.
That’s on top of the yachts, other vessels and luxury real estate that have been impounded as well as $300 billion in Russian Central Bank funds that have been immobilized, the department said.
“We continue to increase Russia’s cost of its war,” Treasury said of the REPO task force, short for Russian Elites, Proxies and Oligarchs.
The program is designed to drain Russia of its resources as President Vladimir Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine, but civil rights advocates have raised concerns about potential overreach.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Attorney General Merrick Garland convened the REPO task force in March in conjunction with a number of other countries, which work together to investigate and prosecute oligarchs and other individuals allied with Putin. The European Commission has set up its own Freeze and Seize Task Force to work in conjunction with the REPO group.
The collective has worked to impound bank accounts, assets and properties. For instance, earlier this month, the U.S. announced sanctions on God Nisanov, one of the richest men in Europe, and Alexey Mordashov, one of Russia’s wealthiest billionaires, along with his wife and two adult children.
“REPO members will continue to track Russian sanctioned assets and prevent sanctioned Russians from undermining the measures that REPO members have jointly imposed,” Treasury said.
With sanctions increasing, there are growing concerns that seizures are being carried out on non-Americans outside of the judicial review process, with big consequences for sanctioned individuals who may not be able to challenge the seizures.
Attorney Tom Firestone, who specializes in international investigations for business clients, said seizures “can have consequences for innocent people who have nothing to do with the war — we need to be careful not to penalize innocent people.”
“We’ve seen a tremendous expansion of the sanctions,” Firestone said. “The U.S. government is going after a variety of targets. There is a lot of uncertainty about where it is all going.”
The American Civil Liberties Union has contested bills — including the House-passed Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act — that would make seizure of Russian assets easier for the government.
The government said that in a wartime environment that has spawned a worldwide food crisis “we are seeking to maximize the impact of sanctions on designated persons and entities while guarding against spillover that affects global commodities markets and food supplies.” | https://wgno.com/news/business/30b-from-russian-oligarchs-frozen-under-repo-seizure-effort/ | 2022-06-29T14:05:28Z | https://wgno.com/news/business/30b-from-russian-oligarchs-frozen-under-repo-seizure-effort/ | true | 35 |
New Infographic Reveals Significant Speed and Scale of Regulatory Activity, Creating a Historical Compliance Challenge
ATLANTA, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions released the findings from a special edition of its Sanctions Pulse infographic focused on the sanctions that have emerged because of the Russia conflict against Ukraine. LexisNexis Risk Solutions analyzed sanctions data from core issuing regulators, the European Union (EU), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI, UK), to measure how significantly the sanctions landscape has changed through increased global sanctions on Russian entities, as well as current and future implications for compliance professionals.
Unprecedented sanctions activity over the past few months in response to the ongoing situation in Ukraine has spurred regulators to apply new sanctions and update and expand pre-existing regulations. It is the speed and scale of activity that shows no sign of ending anytime soon that constitutes a challenge for compliance professionals. With data analyzed from February 21, 2022, to March 31, 2022, there were 40 total updates to the EU, OFAC and OFSI lists, with a +2,384-net count of added destinations relating to Russia alone, compared to 150 net designation additions for all sanctions programs over the same period last year.
The findings show that regulators issued significant list updates across the six-week period, many concentrated towards the beginning of the conflict and sometimes several times in one day. This has had considerable implications for compliance professionals facing a combined challenge of scale, speed and complexity as they contend with a higher stack of alerts, additional pressures on the sanction list update processes and burdensome alert remediations.
Sanctions trends observed over the past several years accelerated in a matter of weeks in response to the situation in Ukraine. The United States, EU and United Kingdom led a common front, followed by countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Many European countries aligned with the EU including Ukraine, Georgia, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and the Balkan states, excluding Serbia. This activity extends beyond the West, with Japan, South Korea and Singapore implementing similar sanctions.
"No one can predict how the sanctions landscape will evolve in the coming months, but the scope of regulator activity concerning the situation in Ukraine has already made for a perfect sanctions storm, deploying virtually all typologies of sanctions to restrict dealings with certain individuals, companies, aircraft, ships, items or locations," said Vincent Gaudel, financial crime compliance expert, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "While governments are imposing these sanctions and restrictions to fulfill certain foreign policy objectives, the onus is on private companies to abide by them, resulting in massive compliance challenges which are unlikely to disappear anytime soon. The impact of this European conflict is global and will have an ongoing effect on global trade and economics, with supply chains and international relations experiencing disruption in the longer term."

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The Shreveport City Council voted to hold a special election to fill the City Marshal position after the sudden death of Charlie Caldwell, Jr.
Former Marshal Caldwell drowned in early May in an apparent boating accident in Destin, Florida.

UK extends steel tariffs, breaching WTO obligations
PAY ATTENTION: Click “See First” under the “Following” tab to see YEN.com.gh News on your News Feed!
Britain has extended steel tariffs for another two years to protect its ailing industry, the government said Wednesday, breaching World Trade Organization obligations.
Trade minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan cited "global disruptions to the energy markets and supply chains" for the decision.
"A strategic steel industry is of the utmost importance to the UK, especially given the uncertainty of political and economic waters that we are currently all charting," Trevelyan told parliament.
"Trade remedies are one of the ways that government can protect their businesses.
"They tackle issues of dumping, of unfair government subsidies, or ... give businesses time to adjust to unforeseen increases in imports," the minister added.
The energy-intensive steel sector in Britain, already suffering at the hands of cheap Chinese imports, now faces sky-rocketing production costs as fuel prices surge.

Tariffs for certain steel product categories imposed on developed countries and China have now been extended to June 2024.
"It is in the economic interest of the UK to maintain these safeguards, to reduce the risk of material harm if they were not maintained," Trevelyan told lawmakers.
After Britain's departure from the European Union, the country rolled over quotas and tariffs on 10 steel products until mid-2024.
The UK has now decided to extend temporary safeguards on five other categories for "a further two years", Trevelyan said.
"I have... concluded there would be serious injury, or the threat of serious injury to UK steel producers, if the safeguards on the five additional categories were to be removed at this time," the minister added.
WTO breach
Wednesday's decision sets the government on a collision course with the WTO.
"The decision to extend the safeguards on the five product categories departs from our international legal obligations under the relevant WTO agreement," Trevelyan conceded.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday said the government had to make "tough choices" to support the production of steel, used heavily in construction.
Johnson's political standing is in peril after two crushing by-election defeats last week.
One was in the former industrial city of Wakefield, a seat in northern England that had switched to the Conservatives at the previous general election.
The government hopes action on steel will bolster support in such areas, observers say.
Britain's steel industry has been severely depleted in recent decades, with former state-owned British Steel struggling to survive in the face of international competition.
Among the nation's remaining producers is Indian-owned Tata Steel.

The ZRBF is a long-term development initiative with an overall objective of contributing to the increased capacity of communities to protect development gains in the face of recurrent shocks and stresses development of Zimbabwe
Participants and beneficiaries who attended the National Nutrition Learning Event in Gweru last week said the program's care group approach makes it easier for the community to adapt to the effects of droughts, cyclones and adverse weather patterns which have seen most people's crops dying before they are ripe, leaving millions under severe hunger.
Headman Sinikiwe Musike from Zvishavane said his community has shifted focus to growing drought-resistant crops as opposed to the cash crops which are highly susceptible to harsh weather.
The program is targeting 18 districts in semiarid and vulnerable districts in Zimbabwe, These are the district of convergence in receiving Hazards such as Human-wildlife conflict, droughts, floods, and heatwaves.
"The changing rain patterns have made us focus on growing small grains which can adapt to climate changes. ZRBF programme taught us about the richness of our indigenous crops and fruits and we now feel like we were tricked to believe that only maize can make healthy food," he said.
The ZRBF is supported by the Ministry of Lands Agriculture Water and Rural Resettlement (MLAWRR) The European Union (EU) The Embassy of Sweden, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Department for International Development (DFID).
It seeks to ensure that development programmes are designed and based on evidence concerning the shocks and stresses that affect the well-being of rural communities in Zimbabwe as well as their capacities to withstand and recover from these shocks
The program is targeting 18 districts in semiarid and vulnerable districts in Zimbabwe, These are the district of convergence in receiving Hazards such as Human-wildlife conflict, droughts, floods, and heatwaves
One of the implementing organisations, Nutrition Action Zimbabwe (NAZ), has been working with the government in prioritising care groups to spearhead nutrition projects in communal areas across the country.
The ZRBF is supported by the Ministry of Lands Agriculture Water and Rural Resettlement (MLAWRR) The European Union (EU) The Embassy of Sweden, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Department for International Development (DFID).
Deputy Director for Nutrition in the Ministry of Health, Handrea Njovo said: "The government is committed to the survival of children and women in the country and in this regard has made great strides to address child and maternal health issues in the context of international and regional agreements aimed at improving maternal and child health."
He added that nutrition plays a significant role in the development of the nation and the attainment of Vision 2030.
"Therefore, investing in nutrition promotion prevails as a powerful instrument to provide a productive and prosperous nation towards the achievement of Vision 2030 which is to transform Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-class," he said.
Njovo said investing in nutrition extends to address adversities induced by climate change.
"The nutrition component implemented in the ZRBF project aimed to build and strengthen beneficiaries' capacities to withstand shocks and disasters as well as build resilience in the face of climate change-induced adversities by improving their absorptive, adaptive and transformative capacities," he said. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206290614.html | 2022-06-29T14:15:28Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206290614.html | false | 2 |
Situated in the heart of downtown Nashville's energetic SoBro neighbourhood, Four Seasons encompasses 235 guest rooms and suites, a new chef-driven dining concept, a full-service spa and resort-style pool deck, stunning event spaces, and more
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The all-new Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville, anticipated to open this September, is now accepting reservations. Ideally situated just one block from the entertainment hub of Broadway in Nashville's celebrated SoBro district, Four Seasons will enter a city that is enjoying exponential growth and has broadened its appeal on the international stage.
"With every new location, Four Seasons takes inspiration from the local community and culture, celebrating what makes it special today, and proudly contributing to its future," notes Antoine Chahwan, Four Seasons President, Hotel Operations - Americas East. "Nashville's creative spirit makes it one of the country's most exciting destinations, and it will soon be home to a truly exceptional Four Seasons experience."
A striking addition to the city skyline, the 40-storey glass tower designed by Soloman Cordwell Buenz architects is an understatement in luxurious style. Sunlight streams in from all sides, with panoramic city and river views in every direction. Light-filled interiors crafted by Marzipan and HOK pay homage to Tennessee's iron industry heritage, while making thoroughly modern use of steel, copper, bronze and the state's native black walnut.
An art collection featuring local and international artists speaks to the city's reputation for attracting creativity, including more than 700 reproductions by Berlin-based multi-disciplined contemporary artist Gregor Hildebrandt.
Four Seasons Hotel Nashville will join the city's vibrant culinary scene with an exciting new dining concept; introduce a resort-style experience for guests with a sun-soaked rooftop pool deck; unveil a beautiful new spa; and host memorable weddings, galas and more in its light-filled event spaces. Guest accommodations, including 193 rooms and 42 suites, are between the 7th and 14th floors, and the Hotel is also home to 144 fully serviced Four Seasons Private Residences on its uppermost floors.
"Opening up for reservations brings us one step closer to our opening day, and we simply can't wait," says Richard Poskanzer, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Nashville. "The city's authentic Southern hospitality and our own commitment to treating our guests with genuine warmth and care are a perfect match. From the beginning, we've been welcomed with open arms, and with a large proportion of our staff being recruited locally, we feel a part of this incredible community even before opening our doors."

Well-known worldwide as Music City, Nashville has more recently grown into a must-see global destination offering up a plethora of attractions to would-be visitors, including endless options in live sports, dining, the arts and more. Four Seasons Hotel Nashville could not be better placed to offer future guests the experience they desire, with its prime location just steps away from all the city has to offer. The Hotel also enjoys close proximity to a number of different neighbourhoods of Nashville, all offering a unique character and vibrancy with their home-grown retail offerings, independent coffee shops and eateries.
A sports fan's dream, the Hotel is walking distance to the homes of the Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Predators, and is within easy reach of GEODIS Park, the home of Nashville SC, the city's Major League Soccer team. Nashville's reputation as a city of the arts is demonstrated by established institutions such as The Frist Art Museum, in addition to a number of community-level art organizations.
And of course, there is the music. The Grand Ole Opry, Bluebird Café, Ryman Auditorium – the famed music venues that continue to launch legends are just the start of a memorable time in Nashville. The city is a must-stop on major tours by international artists across all genres, and there are countless smaller venues - many just a block from Four Seasons in the Lower Broadway neighbourhood - where great music and good company can be enjoyed. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home to the Nashville Symphony, is next to the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, just steps from Four Seasons.
A culinary renaissance has been evident across the city's dining scene is recent years, fast-growing Nashville's reputation as a foodie's paradise, showcasing Michelin-starred chefs in a respected fine-dining scene, as well as an array of multi-cultural street food and farmers' markets.
Four Seasons Hotel Nashville will introduce Mimo Restaurant and Bar, blending Southern Italian cuisine with Southern influences, where culinary excellence can be savoured in a relaxed atmosphere. Whether kicking off a day of exploration at breakfast, savouring a long lunch or dinner that highlights local artisans and purveyors, or meeting friends for a lively evening of creative cocktails and local brews, Mimo is a place that both locals and visitors will soon call their own.
"Artists and creators come to Nashville to make a name for themselves, and to find inspiration in the extraordinary diversity of talent – and that includes the many chefs, mixologists, brewmasters, farmers and producers in the region. Four Seasons will showcase their products and stories, with evolving menus that also reflect the creativity and passion of our people," says Poskanzer, whose nearly two decades with Four Seasons were largely spent focussed upon food and beverage before being promoted to senior management roles.
Settled into a poolside lounge enjoying a range of inventive drinks crafted and delivered by attentive Four Seasons servers, guests might imagine that they are in some exotic locale, but in fact it's the incredible pool deck at Four Seasons in downtown Nashville. Here, days will be enjoyed in and around the infinity-edge pool, enjoying an al fresco lunch on the deck, or an evening of drinks under the stars with friends.
The Spa at Four Seasons is on the same level - but this is not a place of hushed tones and muted lighting. This Spa will encourage friends to come together to socialize while they are pampered by expert therapists and salon stylists. Guests can round out a day with a workout in the state-of-the-art fitness centre designed by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak.
With two ballrooms and six additional event spaces offering the latest in conference technology on the Hotel's fifth level, not to mention its central location, Four Seasons Hotel Nashville will offer the city's premier address for weddings, social events, business meetings and conferences.

Snap is launching an optional subscription service offering "exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features," it announced. The $4 a month service is aimed at "passionate" snapchat users and launching this week in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The exclusive features are modest to start with, including the ability to change the app icon, see who re-watched a story and pin a friend to the top of your chat history as a "BFF," Snapchat SVP Jacob Andreou told The Verge. Some of those features like BFF will only be available to subscribers, but others may filter over to the main Snapchat app.
Snap relies mainly on its advertising model for revenue, so the new service is a break from that. It also makes money selling hardware like its Spectacles smart glasses and new Pixy drone, but that revenue is relatively small change compare to its ad business. The company recently announced a hiring freeze during its last earnings report and saw its stock price plunge dramatically over the last two months. | https://www.engadget.com/snapchat-is-a-new-subscription-service-for-power-users-125633027.html?src=rss | 2022-06-29T14:19:37Z | https://www.engadget.com/snapchat-is-a-new-subscription-service-for-power-users-125633027.html?src=rss | true | 3 |

- The Chevrolet Express and its twin GMC Savana will take their final bows after the 2025 model year.
- The pair will be replaced with electric models similar to the new BrightDrop Zevo 600, though with much smaller capacity.
- The van pair’s basic designs can be traced back to the 1971 model year, with an all-new model for 1997 and its last major update for the 2003 model year.
Last of the big-box American-style cargo and passenger vans, the Chevrolet Express and its badge-engineered GMC Savana clone finally will be discontinued after the 2025 model year, with battery-electric vans replacing them in the 2026 model year, according to a competitive analysis source.
Unlike Ford’s new E-Transit battery-electric full-size van, the Express/Savana replacements will be based on GM’s EV-specific “skateboard” chassis and Ultium modular battery pack, and it could be similar in design to the all-electric BrightDrop Zevo 600 commercial fleet delivery van, though very likely quite smaller.
The Zevo 600 has cargo capacity of “more than 600 cubic feet,” while the current Chevy Express/GMC Savana has capacity of 284.4 cubic-feet for the long-wheelbase version.
BrightDrop delivered its first 150 Zevo delivery vans to Federal Express last week. Un-sexy as this part of the EV business is, it’s huge, with perhaps the best potential to quickly get the automotive business out of carbon-spewing internal-combustion engines. FedEx plans to eventually have 2500 BrightDrop vans in its fleet, on the way to an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2040.
The lame-duck GM van twins—their tooling long ago paid off—fall short of Ford and Ram competitors based on much fresher European styling—though the strategy to go directly from 35-year-old designs to EVs might prove smartest. The Chevy/GMC’s basic designs can be traced back to the 1971 model year, with an all-new model for 1997 and its last major update for 2003.
By comparison, the Ford Transit, with three roof height options, has cargo capacity of 246.7-542.2 cubic feet (excluding bare-chassis vans from any of these brands available with larger “cube” cargo boxes that cannot be accessed from the driver’s seat).
The BrightDrop Zevo 600’s range of 250 miles practically doubles the Ford E-Transit’s top-range of 126 miles on low-roof versions. The Zevo 600 can be recharged at the rate of 170 miles an hour using a 120-kilowatt fast charger.
Ford has delivered some 2022 E-Transits and says the average commercial customer drives 74 miles per day. The 2023 model is now available for order, with cargo and cutaway chassis cabs available.
The 2026 BV1 Chevy Express/GMC Savana replacements will add significant volume to GM’s Ultium battery platform—key to easing the cost of the new technology—while the E-Transit is based on the conventional gas-powered Transit van. Ford might not have that disadvantage for long: A dedicated battery-electric Ford E-Transit is expected about the 2027 model year, according to another source in competitive analysis. Stellantis’ Ram is expected to offer a ProMaster EV, also based on the current ICE model, about the 2024 model year.
What about window vans? The 2022 Chevy Express/GMC Savana can be configured for seating of up to 15, but there’s no intel, yet, that the BV1 will be available as a family bus. Another key segment for EV conversion—school buses—proves modern battery chemistry makes high-capacity EV passenger vehicles viable.
The World Resources Institute this month announced it has tracked commitments for 12,000 battery-electric school buses out of the nation’s fleet of about 500,000, largely consisting of 10,000 diesel-to-EV conversions planned for Midwestern schools as part of the organization’s e School Bus 4Kids initiative. It gets a big push from government: Conversions will be funded by the $5-billion clean school bus program included in last year’s $1.2-trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

NEW REPORT: Value of Teacher Pension Benefits at Lowest Point Since 1965
The omnibus report also reveals that a majority of America's educators are denied a path to retirement income security
NEW YORK, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report assessing the landscape of public retirement benefits offered to public school employees in the United States finds that the value of teacher pension benefits is at its lowest point in modern history (using data going back to 1965), Equable Institute estimates that state governments have cut the value of pension benefits offered to new K–12 teachers by 13% from a high point in 2005, equivalent to a $100,000 reduction in the lifetime value of pensions on average for teachers hired today versus teachers hired before the Great Recession.
States have cut the lifetime value of pension benefits offered to new teachers by $100,000 on average since 2005.The Retirement Security Report: Teacher Edition evaluates all 316 public state and local retirement benefit tiers that currently have enrolled teachers and non-instructional employees to assess the state of teacher benefits in the United States. The resulting omnibus analysis is comprised of four parts – a primary paper entitled "The National Landscape of Teacher Benefit Security" and three special reports evaluating the value of teacher retirement benefits over time, the best states for new teachers, and the elements of quality retirement plan design, respectively.
Using Equable's Retirement Benefit Score methodology, the report reveals that a majority of educators are not provided a path to retirement income security, when measured against the benchmark of achieving 70% replacement of pre-retirement income at least by age 67. Specifically, the analysis shows:
- Since the Great Recession, 45 state retirement systems have introduced a new tier or class of benefits, that have generally reduced the value of pension benefits offered to new members. Teachers who started in the classroom in 2005 can expect that the average lifetime value of their pension will be approximately $768,000 when they reach normal retirement age. However, teachers hired during the 2022-23 school year will only be eligible to earn a pension worth just $668,000 by the time they put in the same years of service.
- When averaging across all entry ages and career tenures, there are only 10 retirement plans that serve all workers well. Four are traditional pension plans, four are hybrid plans, and 2 are defined contribution plans.
- Short-Term teachers (less than 10 years of service) and Medium-Term teachers (10-20 years of service) are not served well by their retirement plans on their own regardless of plan type. This includes pension, defined contribution, hybrid, and guaranteed return plans. Leaving aside legacy retirement plans, only 12 out of the 264 plans currently available to new teachers serve Medium-Term teachers well and just 2 of 264 plans serve Short-Term teachers well.
- Full-Career teachers (those who reach normal retirement age) are typically served well by their retirement plans no matter what the plan design type, with 82.3% of plans open to new hires projected to provide adequate retirement income security. However, Full-Career teachers only account for one-third of the teacher workforce.
- Pension plans have declined in quality. Of the 316 plans in Equable's database, the top performing pension plans are legacy plans which are unavailable to new teachers.
"There is a historic idea that if you can get a job with a pension plan that you'll have a good retirement, and for some people who became teachers two or three decades ago that was true. But we've found that the value of pension plans for new educators is falling," said Anthony Randazzo, executive director at Equable. "This doesn't mean that states should abandon pension plans, but it does mean all stakeholders should look closer at whether pension plans being offered to new individuals joining the teaching workforce are actually being enrolled in an adequate retirement plan."

About the Retirement Security Report Teacher EditionThe Retirement Security Report Teacher Edition is an extension of the first iteration of Equable's Retirement Security Report (RSR) released last year. The RSR is a universe of in-depth research, interactive tools and other resources to shed light on the quality and value of retirement benefits for all public workers. All RSR projects are based on data from our comprehensive benefit database of retirement plans offered to public workers and use an open-source scoring methodology that accounts for three primary criteria: Eligibility, Income Adequacy (based on a 70% pre-retirement income replacement rate), and Flexibility & Mobility.
About Equable InstituteEquable is a bipartisan non-profit that works with public retirement system stakeholders to solve complex pension funding challenges with data-driven solutions. We exist to support public sector workers in understanding how their retirement systems can be improved, and to help state and local governments find ways to both fix threats to municipal finance stability and ensure the retirement security of all public servants.

Washington Puts the Red (Raspberries) in Red, White and Blue
How to celebrate Washington Red Raspberry Harvest Month this July
LYNDEN, Wash., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Fourth of July approaches, farmers in Whatcom County are hustling to harvest a significantly larger crop of red raspberries than they saw after last year's record heat – and they are calling on residents across the state to celebrate Washington's status as America's top producer of frozen raspberries.
"Most people even here in Washington don't know that about 90 percent of the frozen raspberries produced in the U.S. are grown right here in our state," said Henry Bierlink, executive director of the Washington Red Raspberry Commission (WRRC). "This July, we're calling for a statewide celebration of Washington red raspberries, which are intensely flavorful, packed with nutrients and harvested in a very short window of time. These delicious berries are frozen within hours of being harvested for enjoyment year-round here in Washington and across America."
From the Northwest Raspberry Festival to special product offerings at Macrina Bakery in Seattle to Rubicon Bakers Vegan Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes in Kroger stores nationwide, there are many ways to celebrate Washington Red Raspberry Harvest Month this year.
The Northwest Raspberry Festival will take place for the first time since the pandemic began. On July 15-16 in Lynden, festivalgoers can enjoy live music, great food and drinks, a lively three-on-three basketball game, and of course, raspberries and raspberry-forward dishes. Representatives from the WRRC will be available to talk about the raspberry industry. Bakers from Macrina Bakery will join them on Friday afternoon with delicious samples, followed by samples from Rubicon Bakers on Saturday morning.
Macrina Bakery locations across the Seattle area are featuring special products made with Washington-grown raspberries, including a Chocolate Raspberry Muffin (gluten free and vegan), a Raspberry Lemon Coffee Cake (gluten free) and a Raspberry Oat Scone (vegan). These special products will be available for a limited time during the month of July at all locations.
In May, the WRRC and Rubicon Bakers announced the nationwide launch of the Vegan Lemon Raspberry Cupcake, which features Washington red raspberries, in Kroger stores. The WRRC is donating $1 to FareStart for every package of cupcakes sold, up to $10,000. FareStart is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Wash. that transforms lives, disrupts cycles of poverty, and nourishes communities through food, life skills and job training. FareStart's work is in line with Rubicon Bakers' social mission to provide opportunities for those with significant barriers to employment.
Throughout the summer, the WRRC is also partnering with baking bloggers and influencers to promote using frozen Washington red raspberries in baking. As part of the promotion, the WRRC is hosting the #RazzYourBaking Challenge on Instagram, encouraging consumers to bake with frozen Washington red raspberries and share their creations for a chance to win $500.

SAU Extends its Recruitment Reach to Fresno, CA; Creates Transfer Portal to 4-Year Education
RALEIGH, N.C., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saint Augustine's University (SAU) — founded in 1867 to educate freed enslaved persons — extends its student recruitment and reach to the West Coast. By establishing the HBCU Urban Access Hub, SAU launches student access in Fresno, California, to the historically Black college and university (HBCU) learning experience for the first time.
The HBCU Urban Access Hub is an innovative collaboration with community colleges across the country to provide students with a pipeline to a four-year education where there is no HBCU. Saint Augustine's University's HBCU Urban Access Hub will connect community college students in Fresno to opportunities to transfer to SAU for a four-year education.
Participating community college students receive an incentive to continue their education via a Community College Transfer Grant valued at $8,945/annually. They will also receive:
- Guaranteed admission to SAU and are eligible for the Community College Transfer Grant (CCTG), so long as they have earned an associate degree in an area of study offered at SAU
- Automatic grant renewal for one academic year provided the student maintains a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.8
- Academic support to encourage students to earn at least 30 credit hours during the prior year and perform 40 hours of community service
"Expanding to Fresno, California, makes sense. I consider Fresno my second home. I graduated from Fresno City College and Fresno State University. So, this is my way of giving back to a place that has given me so much," said Dr. Christine Johnson McPhail, president of Saint Augustine's University.
The SAU recruitment team will hold in-person information fair Friday, July 1, from 1-6 p.m. at the Fresno Doubletree 2233 Ventura Street, Fresno, Ca. 93721. Recent graduates, rising seniors, community college transfers, and adult learners are all encouraged to attend. Scholarships are also available. Eligible students have an opportunity to gain on-site acceptance to Saint Augustine's University. For more information, please call 919.516.4630.
Founded in 1867 by the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, the mission of Saint Augustine's University is to sustain a learning community in which students can prepare academically, socially and spiritually for leadership in a complex, diverse and rapidly changing world.

After the Italian Open, Shapovalov lost five successive matches heading into Wimbledon. The Canadian was seeded 13th at the grasscourt Major and was up against Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
He won the opening set 6-1 but the Frenchman bounced back to win the next two sets. However, Shapovalov won the fourth and fifth sets to book his place in the second round.

Denis Shapovalov vs Brandon Nakashima prediction
Shapovalov will enter the match as the favorite to win but the Canadian needs to be consistent. The 23-year-old will rely heavily on his serve but he is also susceptible to making many unforced errors. Shapovalov served 12 double faults in his last match and will need to rein them in if he wants to stand a chance against the American.
His one-handed backhand is a formidable weapon and the Canadian will look to be aggressive from the very first point and gain the upper hand.
Nakashima served very well in his last match, serving eight aces and winning 54 out of 77 points on his first serve. However, he too made several unforced errors (35) and will have to play more efficiently against the Canadian.
Nakashima will look to make the most out of his service games and backhand, while also trying to force his opponent to make errors.
However, if Shapovalov's starts the match strong and is able maintain his form, the Canadian will likely reach the third round at SW19.
Pick: Shapovalov to win in four sets. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/wimbledon-2022-denis-shapovalov-vs-brandon-nakashima-preview-head-to-head-prediction-odds-pick | 2022-06-29T14:37:29Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/wimbledon-2022-denis-shapovalov-vs-brandon-nakashima-preview-head-to-head-prediction-odds-pick | false | 1 |

Burlington City Council approves city budget in unanimous vote
City councilors approve a city budget that will increase infrastructure, push the city to reach its net-zero goals. and pledges to rebuild the city's police department.
City councilors approve a city budget that will increase infrastructure, push the city to reach its net-zero goals. and pledges to rebuild the city's police department.
City councilors approve a city budget that will increase infrastructure, push the city to reach its net-zero goals. and pledges to rebuild the city's police department.
The Burlington City Council approved the city budget in a unanimous vote during Monday night's city council meeting.
The new budget will increase infrastructure, push the city to reach its net-zero goals and pledges to rebuild the city's police department.
Mayor Miro Weinberger says it comes at a time when public safety concerns are increasing.
"This rebuilding plan is very important we have a real problem with respect to the number of officers we have we had almost 100 officers just, a little more than a couple of years ago and we've dropped all the way now to the point where we have just a few more than 50," Weinberger.
The Burlington Police Department needs to hire two dozen officers in order to reach their authorized cap of 87.
The new budget includes sign-on bonuses, competitive contracts, and possible housing stipends.
Agreements on a pay increase are also in the works for current officers.
Acting Chief Jon Murad says while the budget will help the department it will still take time to see the results.
"It takes longer to rebuild things than it does to break them and right now this agency is not where we want it to be. for us to build it back to where we want it to be in fact improve it and build new capacities that's something that this budget gives us the tools to do and I'm excited to begin on that road," Murad said.
City officials say the unanimous approval takes the city in the right direction despite the tension over the last couple of years.
"It's taken us some time to get there I know there's been some debate and controversy but I do think we got to a good point last night," said Ben Traverse, city councilor for Ward 5.
"You saw it in unanimous support for this budget that again deals with recruitment and retention efforts of our police department while also transforming us with some of these new alternative public safety resources."
The budget also plans to expand resources for other public safety personnel bumping up the number of community service officers from 10 to 12.
Along with the number of community service liaisons which is set to increase from three to six.
Jeff Nick, commissioner at the Church Street Marketplace says the rebuilding efforts will bring safety back to the city.
"We need and deserve public safety downtown and I think now we're taking those steps to bring it back," Nick said.
Murad says rebuilding begins now and is hopeful the city will be able to bring more officers in the academy in the coming months. | https://www.mynbc5.com/article/burlington-city-council-approves-city-budget-in-unanimous-vote/40451208 | 2022-06-29T14:58:30Z | https://www.mynbc5.com/article/burlington-city-council-approves-city-budget-in-unanimous-vote/40451208 | false | 1 |
Russia-Ukraine live updates: 20 dead, 40 still missing from mall strike
(NEW YORK) — Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” into neighboring Ukraine began on Feb. 24, with Russian forces invading from Belarus, to the north, and Russia, to the east. Ukrainian troops have offered “stiff resistance,” according to U.S. officials.
The Russian military has since launched a full-scale ground offensive in eastern Ukraine’s disputed Donbas region, capturing the strategic port city of Mariupol and securing a coastal corridor to the Moscow-annexed Crimean Peninsula.
Here’s how the news is developing. All times Eastern:

NATO to identify Russia as its ‘main threat,’ Spanish PM says
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S?nchez, who is hosting a NATO summit in Madrid, said Russia will be identified as the alliance’s “main threat” in its new strategic concept unveiled during the summit.
“The strategic concept of Madrid will be naming Russia as the main threat of the allies,” S?nchez told Spanish media on Wednesday. NATO previously considered Russia a strategic partner.
S?nchez stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was the only person “responsible for this substantive change.”
During a speech at the NATO summit on Wednesday, the Spanish Prime Minister said the summit carried a clear signal for Putin.
“We are sending a strong message to Putin: ‘You will not win,'” S?nchez said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Facebook on Tuesday that thousands of Ukrainian soldiers had mastered the use of weapons supplied by Western countries, while other troops are in ongoing training.
Reznikov said Ukrainian specialists were training on aviation and other types of high-tech weaponry, including artillery systems and means of reconnaissance.
“We are learning at a fast pace,” the defense minister added. “Any weapon in the hands of the [Ukrainian] Armed Forces becomes even more effective.”
In his speech at the NATO summit on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy repeated his plea for more weapons supplies, highlighting Ukraine’s need for more modern artillery systems.
To break Russia’s artillery advantage, Ukraine needs “much more modern systems, modern artillery,” Zelenskyy said.

Missile strike on mall may have been mistake
Russia’s recent missile strike on a shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, which killed at least 20 people, may have been “intended to hit a nearby infrastructure target,” the U.K. Ministry of Defense said Wednesday in an intelligence update.
The ministry called it “a realistic possibility” and noted that “Russia’s inaccuracy in conducting long range strikes has previously resulted in mass civilian casualty incidents, including at Kramatorsk railway station” on April 9.
“Russian planners highly likely remain willing to accept a high level of collateral damage when they perceive military necessity in striking a target,” the ministry said. “It is almost certain that Russia will continue to conduct strikes in an effort to interdict the resupplying of Ukrainian frontline forces.”
“Russia’s shortage of more modern precision strike weapons and the professional shortcomings of their targeting planners will highly likely result in further civilian casualties,” the ministry warned.

20 dead, 40 still missing from mall strike
Twenty people are dead and 59 are wounded from Russia’s missile strike on Monday at a mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, according to Kyrilo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Forty people remain missing, Tymoshenko said.
“Several fragments of bodies have been found ripped off limbs and feet of the people,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the United Nations Security Council.
He said if Russia denies the devastation was wrought by one of its missiles, he asked the U.N. send an independent representative to the site of the attack to verify for itself.
First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the U.N., Dmitry Polyanskiy, flatly denied carrying out strikes against any civilian target.

Sean Penn meets with Zelenskyy

Biden: Ukraine ‘standing up’ to Putin ‘in ways that I don’t think anyone anticipated’
President Joe Biden and Spanish President Pedro Sanchez delivered remarks Tuesday on new areas of cooperation between the two countries and efforts to keep supporting Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
Biden did not mention Monday’s strike on the Ukraine mall that killed 18, but said the invasion has “shattered peace in Europe and every norm since WWII.”
Biden said he and Sanchez discussed the need to continue to provide weapons to Ukraine.
The Ukrainians “are standing up in ways that I don’t think anyone anticipated, showing enormous bravery, enormous resolve,” Biden said.
He said he believes Putin’s objective is to “wipe out the culture of Ukraine.”
Biden said NATO allies will be “standing as one” to support Ukraine and teased more military posture commitments in Europe. Biden said the U.S. and Spain are working on an agreement to increase the number of Navy destroyers stationed at Rota Naval Base in Spain.

One of the stars of Love Island has said that she plans to head for Hollywood if everything goes well.
Danica Taylor has seen her popularity skyrocket since she entered the iconic villa a couple of weeks in to this year's series.
The bombshell, 21, who is a professional dancer on the outside, has entered the villa and tried her best to turn heads, with viewers being shown clips of her getting close to both Davide Sanclimenti and Andrew Le Page.
After her boss admitted that she expected Danica not to return to work, an old video from Danica's YouTube has revealed what her true ambitions might be.

The clip in question is from 2019 and sees Danica answer questions from her Instagram followers.
Asked that if she wasn't to pursue dance, what could she see herself doing, Danica replied: "Life's too short, I would love to do everything. So, I'd love to be a dentist, don't ask me why, or a lawyer. In terms of performing and stuff like YouTube, if that doesn't work then I will go back and study law.
"I do dance, but essentially I want to be a performer. I would like to do singing, acting and dancing. Out of all three of them, if I could be talented in any of them it'd be acting. I'd love to be in a Hollywood film.
"That is my main ultimate goal. Whether that's dancing, singing, action, anything. Being in films is my 'way over there' goal."
In last night's episode Danica pulled Andrew for a chat and told him: "You are a fully grown man, you will do whatever you want to do.
"But actually, I just need to be honest with you and what I feel and what vibe I get. I do enjoy getting to know you."
Andrew agreed and said: "Yeah, I do enjoy our chats to be fair."
Danica continued: "Obviously, I think this is more for me to just let you know I do fancy you, I'm open to getting to know you a bit more.
"I enjoy our conversations, you make me feel very comfortable and I'm just letting you know so you've got the heads up."
It's all heading towards a dramatic recoupling on Wednesday evening's episode.

Which picture printers are best for the iPhone?
Have you ever been in a situation where you wish you had a small printer ready? Well, a portable printer is exactly the answer.
But don’t think of these gadgets as a way to print out spreadsheets or reports on the way to work. Instead, these are printers that can put your adventures onto photo paper in a matter of seconds. The iPhone’s camera is fantastic, but even when you share your snaps on social media, some compression reduces the quality. With a portable printer, you can capture, print and share your valuable moments on the spot.
Desktop vs. portable
Picture printers for Apple’s iPhone generally come in two sizes, while both are still a fraction of a traditional printer’s dimension.
- Desktop: Not to be confused with the size of a traditional printer, a desktop photo printer is much smaller, but not small enough to carry around in a pocket or a bag easily. You would still need to place it on a sturdy surface to print photos.
- Portable (or mobile): A portable printer is about the size of a power bank or about two iPhones stacked up, and can easily fit in your bag. Depending on the manufacturer, they often use Zink Technology to produce the images. This means that the printer doesn’t have ink cartridges or ribbons, but uses heat to activate the pigments in the photo paper.
Printing quality
Of course, the most important aspect of any printer (whether for iPhone photos or traditional paper), is the quality of the end product. Here it can vary widely, but two key aspects to look for are the dots per inch and the size of the paper. Generally, more dots per inch produce a clearer image.
Connection method
Most portable printers connect to the iPhone through a Bluetooth connection. It’s a relatively simple process and follows the same steps as you would to connect a wireless speaker. However, some printers let you dock the iPhone in a tray, which charges the phone and reads the information simultaneously.

Justice family-owned coal firm reaches debt settlement
CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — A coal firm controlled by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s family has reached a nine–digit settlement agreement with a Swiss bank.
Bluestone Resources Inc. has agreed to pay up to $320 million to lenders, The Gazette Mail reported. Credit Suisse Asset Management announced the agreement on Friday.
Bluestone CEO Jay Justice, Gov. Justice’s son, said the proceeds from any sale of Bluestone entities would be shared between the Justice family and lenders.
“We have negotiated a settlement which enables us to take advantage of the favorable market conditions for met coal and secure the position of the mines and the employees and communities who depend on them for the foreseeable future,” Jay Justice said in a statement released by Credit Suisse.
A total of $850 million is still outstanding after the finance group Greensill Capital loaned the governor’s companies that much in 2018. Greensill filed for bankruptcy last year.
Justice said last year that he personally guaranteed the $850 million in loans, putting him on the hook for paying back the remaining balance, the newspaper reported. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2648380922363/justice-family-owned-coal-firm-reaches-debt-settlement | 2022-06-29T15:11:38Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2648380922363/justice-family-owned-coal-firm-reaches-debt-settlement | true | 2 |
STOCKHOLM, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AlzeCure Pharma AB (publ) (FN STO: ALZCUR), a pharmaceutical company that develops a broad portfolio of small molecule candidate drugs for diseases affecting the central nervous system, with projects in both Alzheimer's disease and pain, today announced that the company has completed the clinical phase I study (multiple ascending dose, MAD) with repeated dosing of the drug candidate ACD856, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease.
Data show that ACD856, the primary drug candidate within the company's NeuroRestore platform, has good tolerability and safety. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that the substance has suitable pharmacokinetic properties with rapid uptake into the body as well as relevant and dose-dependent exposure in the CNS.
The MAD Phase I study is AlzeCure's third clinical study with ACD856, the company's leading drug candidate in the NeuroRestore platform. The substance is being developed as a symptom-relieving treatment for disease states where cognitive ability is impaired, for example in Alzheimer's disease. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of the drug candidate after repeated dosing.
"We are very pleased that ACD856 has a very good profile for further clinical development," said Johan Sandin, CSO at AlzeCure Pharma. "With its potential to improve memory function in a variety of diseases, ACD856 may play a significant role in the treatment of indications where these key functions are impaired, such as Alzheimer's disease, sleep apnea, traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease."
The company started the study in September 2021 and is now presenting according to plan results from this clinical study with ACD856. Preparations are now being made to initiate further clinical trials. These upcoming studies are focused on evaluating early effect-signals in humans.
"The results for the NeuroRestore candidate ACD856 follow the previous positive clinical results with the substance, and we are now looking forward to the continued clinical studies," said Martin Jönsson, CEO of AlzeCure. "I also see that these data will stimulate potential partnership and out-licensing discussions and increase interest in the NeuroRestore platform."

About NeuroRestore
NeuroRestore is a platform of symptom-relieving drug candidates for disease states in which cognitive ability is impaired, e.g. Alzheimer's Disease, sleep apnea, traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease. NeuroRestore stimulates several important signaling pathways in the brain, which among other things leads to improved cognition. In preclinical studies with NeuroRestore we have been able to show that our drug candidates enhance communication between the nerve cells and improve cognitive ability. NeuroRestore stimulates specific signaling pathways in the central nervous system known as neurotrophins, the most well-known being NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) and BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor). The levels of NGF and BDNF are disturbed in several disease states and the signaling is reduced. The impaired function impairs communication between the synapses, i.e. the contact surfaces of the nerve endings, as well as reducing the possibility of survival for the nerve cells, which gives rise to the cognitive impairments. Neurotrophins play a crucial role for the function of nerve cells, and a disturbed function of BDNF has a strong genetic link to impaired cognitive ability in several different diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury and sleep disorders. There is also a link between BDNF signaling and depression, something that has been further strengthened in recent years.
About Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. Alzheimer's disease is a lethal disorder that also has a large impact on both relatives and the society. Today, preventive and disease modifying treatments are missing. The main risk factors to develop Alzheimer's are age and genetic causes. Even though the disease can start as early as between 40 and 65 years of age, it is most common after 65 years. Significant investments in Alzheimer research are being made because of the significant unmet medical need and the large cost of this disease for healthcare and society. The total global costs for dementia related diseases is estimated to about 1,000 billion USD. Given the lack of both effective symptomatic treatments and disease modifying treatments, the need for new effective therapies is acute. The few approved drugs on the market today have only a limited symptomatic effect and can produce dose limiting side effects. A disease modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease is estimated to reach more than $15 billion in annual sales. In Sweden, approximately 100,000 people suffer from Alzheimer's disease with a healthcare cost of about SEK 63 billion yearly, which is more than for cancer and cardiovascular diseases combined.

Two-vehicle Crash South of Bellevue
BELLEVUE, Idaho (KLIX)-No one was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash late Friday night south of Bellevue. According to the Blaine County Sheriff's Office, first responders were called out at around 11 p.m. to State Highway 75 just outside of town where a Ford Fiesta crossed the centerline and struck a Toyota minivan causing it to rollover. The sheriff's office said a 23-year-old woman and 26-year-old man from Fairfield were in the minivan and were checked out by medical personnel on scene before they went by private car to the hospital. The 21-year-old Hailey man driving the Ford was also checked out at the scene. He was given a citation for failure to maintain a lane and driving on an expired license.

Iran launches rocket into space as nuclear talks to resume
TEHRAN, Iran — (AP) — Iranian state television said Sunday that Tehran had launched a solid-fueled rocket into space, drawing a rebuke from Washington ahead of the expected resumption of stalled talks over Tehran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers.
It's unclear when or where the rocket was launched, but the announcement came after satellite photos showed preparations at Imam Khomeini Spaceport in Iran's rural Semnan province, the site of Iran's frequent failed attempts to put a satellite into orbit.
State-run media aired dramatic footage of the blastoff against the backdrop of heightened tensions over Tehran's nuclear program, which is racing ahead under decreasing international oversight.
Iran had previously acknowledged that it planned more tests for the satellite-carrying rocket, which it first launched in February of last year.
Ahmad Hosseini, spokesman for Iran's Defense Ministry, said Zuljanah, a 25.5 meter-long rocket, was capable of carrying a satellite of 220 kilograms (485 pounds) that would ultimately gather data in low-earth orbit and promote Iran's space industry. Zuljanah is named for the horse of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.
The White House said it was aware of Iran’s announcement and criticized the move as “unhelpful and destabilizing.”
The launch comes just a day after the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, traveled to Tehran in a push to resuscitate negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program that have stalemated for months. A few significant sticking points remain, including Tehran's demand that Washington lift terrorism sanctions on its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
Borrell said on Saturday that talks over the nuclear deal would resume in an unnamed Persian Gulf country in the coming days, with Iranian media reporting that Qatar would likely host the negotiations.
Former President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed crushing sanctions on Iran. Tehran responded by greatly ramping up its nuclear work and now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.
In a further escalation that limits the international community's view into its nuclear program, Iran removed over two dozen International Atomic Energy Agency cameras from its nuclear sites this month. The agency's director called the move a “fatal blow” to the tattered nuclear deal.
Tehran's rocket launches have raised alarm in Washington amid the unraveling of the nuclear deal. The U.S. warns the launches defy a United Nations Security Council resolution calling on Iran to steer clear of any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
The White House on Sunday said it was committed to using sanctions and other measures to prevent further advances in Iran’s ballistic missile program.
The U.S. intelligence community’s 2022 threat assessment, published in March, claims such a satellite launch vehicle “shortens the timeline” to an intercontinental ballistic missile for Iran as it uses “similar technologies.”
Iran, which long has said it does not seek nuclear weapons, maintains its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military component.
Even as Iran's government has sharpened its focus on space, sending several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launching a monkey into space, the program has seen recent troubles. There have been five failed launches in a row for the Simorgh program, a type of satellite-carrying rocket. A fire at the Imam Khomeini Spaceport in February 2019 also killed three researchers.
The launch pad used in the preparations for the launch of the Zuljanah rocket remains scarred from an explosion in August 2019 that even drew the attention of then-President Trump. He later tweeted what appeared to be a classified surveillance image of the launch failure. Satellite images from February suggested a failed Zuljanah launch earlier this year, though Iran did not acknowledge it.
Meanwhile, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in April 2020 revealed its own secret space program by successfully launching a satellite into orbit. The Guard operates its own military infrastructure parallel to Iran's regular armed forces.

Fuel, transport subsidies help keep German inflation at 7.6%
BERLIN (AP) — Inflation in Germany eased slightly in June compared to the previous month, in part due to new subsidies that helped rein in the price of gasoline and public transport.
Official figures released Wednesday show inflation hit 7.6% this month, down from 7.9% in May, which was the highest since the early 1970s.
Germany temporarily lowered taxes on diesel fuel and gasoline at the start of the month and introduced an ultra-cheap ticket that allows people to use all local and regional public transportation for 9 euros (less than $10) a month. The measures are due to last for three months.
Like elsewhere across the world, inflation in Germany has been stoked by the war in Ukraine, which has led to a rise in energy costs and food prices. | https://news.yahoo.com/fuel-transport-subsidies-help-keep-142830389.html | 2022-06-29T15:28:20Z | https://news.yahoo.com/fuel-transport-subsidies-help-keep-142830389.html | false | null |

Jahiem White's Road to WVU: A Move That Led Me to My Godmother
What’s good Mountaineers?
I wasn’t going to post again until mid-July but with gaining four new commits this past weekend I thought I would put something together! Momentum is strong and we are building something special.
So, I’m going to start this post with my sixth grade year. You’ll see why, in the end.
I was raised by a single mom. My mother is the strongest woman I know. She comes from a long line of strong, hard-working women. Our family motto is “Grind For Better” or GFB. That’s my Twitter banner and also the tattoo on my left arm. As kids, we always came first. So, in sixth grade, we left Florida for Pennsylvania because my mom had family in York. I wasn’t happy about it. I enrolled at Phineas Davis Elementary School. I was placed in my homeroom and met my teacher. My teacher loved sports. She came from a family that loved football and Penn State. I spent the first few weeks in her room watching NFL clips on ESPN featuring running backs. One day, she asked me if I had ever heard of Barkley (he was still playing for PSU). I said no. She sat down and plugged his name into Google and told me to check him out. I did. She asked me what I thought about him after school that day. I told her he wasn’t that great. She laughed, and rolled her eyes. Eventually, I admitted that he was great, and that she was right. His jersey now hangs above my bed in my room.
Read More
We moved back to Florida my seventh grade year. Again, in the spring of that year I moved back to PA and ended back up at Davis. I went to see my sixth grade teacher my first day back. I sat in her room and watched clips of Barkley doing his thing. My teacher, Amanda, knows that I have a lot of energy. I need to be busy. So, she reached out to the high school football coach, Coach Stoner, and asked him if I could join spring football workouts. He said yes and I started working out with the team. I also played AAU basketball with the PA Rens for a season.
I stayed in PA living with my mom and brothers. When my mom was working and wasn’t able to take me somewhere, I would call Amanda. My teacher became my godmother. Her family became my family. Because she teaches in the district I play for, she is on me about my grades and Coach Stoner doesn’t play either. So, when people say “student-athlete”, I know that there is no football without grades.
My first varsity game was against McCaskey, a team from Lancaster. I started at slot. I think I had 3 TD’s that game. I love one-handed catches. I’m good at those. Coach saw something special that night. I had a great freshman year at slot and got some time at RB. My sophomore year is when I had my breakout games. Coach called my godmom and told her that I was “special”, and to set up a Twitter account. So, I set up my account, and started making connections. I have been blessed with teammates that work hard to protect me on the line, and to make those stops on defense. It helps to have a QB that has his own D-I offers and a coaching staff that is dedicated to making you a “student-athlete”. Sixth grade was the year that changed everything. A move I hated, ended up being a blessing.
I’m ending with a quick story. As I told you my god-family loves PSU. They are alumni. We went to Beaver Stadium for a game my freshman year, I think. I remember walking into Beaver Stadium and watching Dotson warm up. I also remember Amanda pointing to the recruits and saying you will be there one day. Fast forward to last Fall and we stood together on the sideline at PSU, Maryland, Temple, etc. At the WVU game I knew I wanted to commit. I looked at her and said “I’m home”. She cried. She always cries when I do something good. It’s a running joke that when I score you can look up and see her cry. So, please make sure that we have Kleenex in the stadium at WVU, because I plan to make her cry, a lot…
** Side note – Even though my god-parents are PSU alumni, they have removed the football flag from the garage. They are hunting a new WVU flag to hang in it’s place. #HAILWVU #TAKEMEHOME23 | https://www.si.com/college/westvirginia/recruiting/jahiem-whites-road-to-wvu-a-move-that-led-me-to-my-godmother | 2022-06-29T15:30:12Z | https://www.si.com/college/westvirginia/recruiting/jahiem-whites-road-to-wvu-a-move-that-led-me-to-my-godmother | true | 1 |
National Cultural Forum (NCF) chairman Daniel Kazibwe alias Ragga Dee has called upon fellow artists to stay orderly amid the raucous that is surrounding the Uganda Musicians Association (UMA) polls.
Ragga Dee made the plea to fellow musicians advising them to follow and respect the postponement of the UMA polls as the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development and Hon. Betty Amongi decided.
Speaking in an interview, Ragga Dee stressed that it is okay for the Ministry to intervene in the affairs of the arts industry.
He also noted that he is hopeful that the intervention will bear fruits as the musicians’ association will be supported financially.

I humbly request artistes to stop acting like grasshoppers that are trapped in a bottle ready to be eaten. If the Ministry has intervened, it is here to support us as the Musicians Association of Uganda.
Ragga Dee
He also gave an insight on how dangerous it would be if UMA elections polling stations were only set in the Central, abandoning other regions of Uganda.
If you dare hold elections in Central only artists in other regions will never see the elected president as their president. They will ask, Who elected this president.
Ragga Dee
Ragga Dee further requested musicians to be professional and encouraged them to act mature enough during this period of time since it is a tricky moment. | https://mbu.ug/2022/06/29/stop-acting-like-grasshoppers-ragga-dee-requests-musicians-be-orderly/ | 2022-06-29T15:33:40Z | https://mbu.ug/2022/06/29/stop-acting-like-grasshoppers-ragga-dee-requests-musicians-be-orderly/ | false | 2 |

MANASSAS, Va. — Editor's Note: This video is from June 2022 about federal gun legislation.
A man was shot and injured in Manassas late Monday night, sparking an investigation, according to Prince William Police.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting just before midnight on Sudley Road, nearby Balls Ford Road.
Officers arrived to the scene and found a 29-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound.
Medical aid was provided to the man before rescue personnel arrived at the scene. The man was taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation determined that the victim was approached by an acquaintance who fired multiple shots before leaving the scene on foot.
Police say the victim did not provide information on what led up to the shooting or the person involved.
The police K-9 search for the suspect was unsuccessful in locating him in the area. But, officers did find a nearby business with damage consistent with being struck by a projectile and shell casings in the parking lot.
Police said the suspect was wearing all black clothing, but there is only a vague description available.
Anyone who has information regarding this incident or the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to contact Prince William Police at 704-792-7000. | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/man-shot-injured-in-manassas-virginia/65-7b30c73f-d1e3-4c40-87ab-5ab5c6df29ea | 2022-06-29T15:34:44Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/man-shot-injured-in-manassas-virginia/65-7b30c73f-d1e3-4c40-87ab-5ab5c6df29ea | true | 1 |
Erja Lyytine has announced the release of a new album Waiting For The Daylight. The record is due October 7, but you can hear the first single, Bad Seed, below.
The album is Lyytine’s ninth record and was reportedly written and recorded during her pandemic downtime, at a point when, like many musicians, the blues guitarist and songwriter was pondering an existence without shows and a life away from the road.
It certainly feels like some pent-up energy is being untapped on Bad Seed. It's a Southern-tinged rocker that intersperses some of Lyytine classic influences – including some heavy, Page-y pentatonics – with a contemporary blues swagger and a hook-heavy chorus. There’s also a duelling solo that sees the guitarist dolling out an impressive call and response.
“I wanted to make a track that you could dance to,” expands Lyytine. “This track has a fat groove and instantly makes you want to move. In the solos, two guitars vary. A regular guitar and a slide guitar have a conversation. It’s one of my favourites on the album and our first single release.”
The single will also open the record, while the (as-yet-unreleased) title track, Waiting For The Daylight, is said to offer up Lyytine’s “most mesmerising and emotive” solo to date. We’re also taking the fact that she’s appearing on the cover with a custom G&L ASAT Z-3 Semi-Hollow electric guitar in blue sparkle finish as a promising sign of good things to come...
Lyytine’s previous efforts, not least 2019’s Another World (which featured Jennifer Batten and Sonny Landreth), helped her place in both our best modern blues riff poll (with Snake in the Grass) and nab a significant share of the 60,000+ votes in our best blues guitarist poll, so consider our appetites suitably whetted.
The multi-talented guitarist has handled all the six-string duties on the record, alongside vocals, violin and keys, while her band comprises Harri Taittonen (keys/Hammond organ), Tatu Back on bass guitar and Iiro Laitinen on drums.

The AP CBCID police have got clearance from the High Court on Wednesday to question YSR Congress rebel MP from Narasapur, K Raghurama Krishnam Raju, in the case related to campaign against the state government.
The high court dismissed the quash petition filed by the MP who alleged that the CID had filed false cases against him. He also alleged that the CID sleuths have harassed him and caused physical injuries to him. He further said that the CID police have beaten him up and wanted relief from the case.
However, the court dismissed his petition and permitted the CID police to question him. The court also told the CID to question the MP at Hyderabad’s Dilkush guest house.
The case was related to the MP’s series of press meets where he accused the government of promoting Christians and accused chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy of heavy corruption and nepotism. The case was actually filed under sedition sections but they were withdrawn as the Supreme Court withdrew these sections.
Raghurama Krishnam Raju had been venting his anger against the state government and the chief minister for the past two-and-a-half years. He had pledged to defeat the party in the next elections and had filed several cases against the government and the chief minister.
He also intervened in the CBI cases against Jagan Mohan Reddy and wanted the court to speed up the trial, which further intensified his war against Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party. He is accused of acting at the behest of opposition leader N Chandrababu Naidu for his criticism against the government.
It is now to be seen when the CID would make its move to question the MP. | https://www.telugu360.com/ap-cid-to-question-raghurama-gets-clearance-from-hc/ | 2022-06-29T15:40:07Z | https://www.telugu360.com/ap-cid-to-question-raghurama-gets-clearance-from-hc/ | true | 1 |

Syracuse TV, Film Star Mary Mara Likely Drowned in St. Lawrence River: NYSP
An actress from Central New York who appeared in numerous hit TV shows and popular films is believed to have drowned while swimming in the St. Lawrence River.
New York State Police were called to investigating a possible drowning just after 8:00 a.m. Sunday at a location on Old Farm Road in the Jefferson County town of Cape Vincent. Troopers identified the woman as 61-year-old Mary Mara, a TV and film actress who made appearances or was featured in a dozen movies in the 1990's including 'Mr. Saturday Night' and Love Potion No. 9.
On TV Mara played roles in countless classic series - from Law and Order, to NYPD Blue and ER, to Ray Donovan, Shameless, Criminal Minds and General Hospital.
First responders, including members of the State Police and Cape Vincent Fire and Ambulance, reported no obvious signs of foul play on Mara as she was removed from the water. While it appears the death was accidental drowning, Troopers say her body will undergo an autopsy at the Jefferson County Medical Examiner's Office to determine her exact cause of death. | https://wibx950.com/woman-61-likely-drowned-while-swimming-in-st-lawrence-river-nysp-investigating/ | 2022-06-29T15:45:27Z | https://wibx950.com/woman-61-likely-drowned-while-swimming-in-st-lawrence-river-nysp-investigating/ | true | 1 |

NEW YORK, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nonprofit Finance Fund is thrilled to announce Aisha Benson as its next CEO and President.
Benson, a leader with a substantial track record advancing racial equity in community development finance, was selected after an extensive nationwide search and brings exceptional industry expertise, deep networks, and a passion for social justice to the position. She will be NFF's third permanent CEO and President in its 42-year history.
"Aisha is the right leader at the right time to support NFF's efforts to help mission-driven organizations achieve communities' aspirations," said Henry A. J. Ramos, NFF Board Chair. "Her vision, experience and relationships are an exciting match as NFF continues its tremendous growth."
Benson will start on August 8, and will be based in New York. She joins NFF from TruFund Financial Services, where as Executive Vice President and COO she was instrumental in developing strategy, securing new business, fundraising, and overseeing lending and tax credit services.
Benson serves on several key industry boards, including the Opportunity Finance Network, NMTC Coalition (Board Chair) and New York CDFI Coalition (founding member and Vice President). She also serves on the advisory boards of the Community Development Entities of US Bank and Coastal Enterprises.
"NFF has earned a reputation for challenging status-quo finance and philanthropy and advocating for the nonprofits we rely on for so much," said Benson. "I look forward to leveraging my industry expertise and lived experience to further hone NFF's strategy and approach to integrating the flow of capital and advisory services in ways that maximize community collaboration and create transformational, sustainable outcomes for communities of color."
Benson takes the helm from NFF interim CEO and President Trella Walker, who along with Executive Transition Team colleagues Kristin Giantris and Andrea Briscoe has been leading NFF since June 2021 when longtime CEO Antony Bugg-Levine announced his planned departure.
Over the past ten years, NFF has increased its loan portfolio by 400 percent, built a diverse team with a broad range of expertise, and accrued $54 million in net assets without donor restrictions (as of Dec. 2021) to invest in its mission. Recent initiatives including the Strategic Innovation Fund, COVID-19 recovery zero-interest loan funds, the State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey, and Rising Together exemplify NFF's commitment to using its assets and resources in service of community-based nonprofits, particularly those led by and serving people of color.
As Walker moves on from NFF she will continue her longstanding consulting practice focused on strategy and impact, organizational change management, and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) and belonging—all areas of deep expertise she drew on to help NFF navigate a season of transition.
"It has been a true honor to help move NFF forward by strengthening our ability to serve communities of color with staff and resources aligned with our strategy and now Aisha can advance our commitment with great fervor and fortitude," said Walker. "I am excited to see NFF's next chapter."
"We are deeply grateful to Trella and the Executive Transition Team for skillfully guiding NFF in bold pursuit of its strategy, and know that other mission-driven organizations will benefit from her sage counsel," said Ramos. "To be in such a strong position, especially amid more global changes in our field and in the world, is a testament to the skill and determination of this team in service of NFF's mission."
Benson was selected as part of a comprehensive, nationwide search led by NPAG in partnership with NFF's board.
Nonprofit Finance Fund® (NFF®) is a nonprofit lender, consultant, and advocate. For more than 40 years, we've worked to strengthen nonprofit organizations and improve the way money flows to social good.

For decades, the legal battle over abortion focused on the U.S. Supreme Court and its guiding document, the U.S. Constitution.
Now, with Roe v. Wade overturned, the legal spotlight has shifted to the states, where abortion supporters and opponents must contend with 50 different constitutions that, in many places, guarantee rights more broadly than their federal counterpart.
The legal chaos has already begun. In a half-dozen states and counting, lawsuits argue that new restrictive abortion laws are in violation of state constitutions.
So, too, the stakes have grown for ballot measures scheduled this year to amend those constitutions, whether to protect the right to an abortion or eliminate it.
"For anyone who thought, 'Oh, Roe v. Wade is done and now this whole thing is over' — I have bad news," Mary Ziegler, an abortion law expert at the University of California Davis, tells NPR. "This is just going to be an even more complicated chapter that we're entering into."
And experts say the uncertainty could continue for years to come, given the relative ease of amending state constitutions and the judicial elections in many states that can result in rapid changes to a court's ideological makeup.
Six lawsuits (and counting) appeal to state constitutions
In the days since the Dobbs decision, abortion rights organizations have filed lawsuits challenging state courts to find a right to abortion in at least four states, including Utah, Kentucky, Idaho and Mississippi. (Some other active legal challenges, including lawsuits in Wisconsin, Louisiana and Texas, do not ask judges to evaluate the constitutionality of abortion rights. Rather, they point to administrative errors or other enforceability questions as reasons for judges to invalidate the laws.)
#MISSISSIPPI: We have filed a lawsuit on behalf of Jackson Women’s Health Organization to prevent Mississippi from enforcing its trigger ban, which would prohibit nearly all abortions in the state. As of right now, abortion remains legal in Mississippi. #AbortionIsEssential
— Center for Reproductive Rights (@ReproRights) June 27, 2022
They join two lawsuits in Florida and Michigan that were filed in anticipation of Roe being overturned. At question in Michigan is a nearly-century-old abortion ban that had long gone unenforced. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in April that would ban abortions after 15 weeks. It has since been challenged by Planned Parenthood, which has asked a judge to block the law before it takes effect at the end of the week.
All of the legal challenges emphasize the disruptions to a person's life and the risks to their health and economic security that come with pregnancy and childbirth.
But the lawsuits are not identical. Each appeals to specific lines of legal theory unique to each state, citing different state provisions and different case histories to support their arguments.
In Utah, Planned Parenthood's suit argues that the state's trigger ban violates seven different sections of the Utah state constitution. A judge has temporarily blocked Utah's abortion ban as a result of the lawsuit — allowing abortions there to resume for 14 days.
The Idaho lawsuit points to a history of legal decisions by the Idaho Supreme Court that advocates say indicate a right to "intimate familial decisions," including procreation. In Kentucky, the ACLU has appealed to that state's legal traditions of privacy and self-determination.
BREAKING: We’re suing Kentucky in state court to stop two extreme abortion bans.
— ACLU (@ACLU) June 27, 2022
Since the Supreme Court’s decision, abortion has been effectively banned in Kentucky, and people have been forced to remain pregnant against their will or flee the state.
And in Mississippi, Jackson Women's Health Organization — the abortion clinic at the center of the Dobbs case — filed a new lawsuit Monday.
"Mississippians still have a separate and independent right to privacy under the Mississippi Constitution that the Mississippi Supreme Court held encompasses a right to abortion," the lawsuit states, citing a 1998 decision by the state court that remains legally binding, the clinic's lawyers argue.
State constitutions often offer broader rights than the U.S. Constitution
Like the U.S. Constitution, no state's constitution explicitly includes a right to abortion (or other reproductive rights, like the use of birth control).
But many describe rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Others demand equal protection under the law.
And unlike the U.S. Constitution, 11 states explicitly guarantee a right to privacy, an important legal underpinning of the original Roe decision in 1973.
"There's all kinds of generally phrased provisions in state constitutions that can be used to anchor litigation," said John Dinan, a professor of politics at Wake Forest University.
State constitutions vary so widely that legal decisions by their supreme courts don't always align with a state's predominant political ideology, experts said.
Courts in conservative states like Montana and Tennessee, for example, have struck down laws designed to limit abortions through imposing waiting periods or onerous regulations for clinics.
Another example is Florida, said Ziegler, where a privacy clause was added to the state constitution in 1980. "Ever since then, Florida has had fewer abortion restrictions than you would have expected because of that state's constitutional provision," she said.
The rise of anti-abortion constitutional amendments
In the 2000s, anti-abortion activists vexed by state supreme courts began to turn to a simple solution: Amend the constitutions to explicitly eliminate the right to abortion.
State constitutions are generally much easier to change than the federal Constitution. Once a state legislature has proposed an amendment, most states require only a simple majority of voters to approve it. (Voters have amended their state constitutions more than 700 times since 2006, according to Ballotpedia. By contrast, no effort to amend the U.S. Constitution — which requires a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate, along with ratification by 38 states — has been successful in decades.)
In 2014, Tennessee became the first state in the nation to enact an amendment that expressly declared no right to abortion in the state's constitution. Alabama, West Virginia and Louisiana have since followed suit.
In August, voters in Kansas will become the first to consider such an amendment in a post-Dobbs political reality. Kentucky will vote on another in November.
In Kansas, the state's supreme court voted in 2019 to find a right to abortion in the state constitution's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" clause. That ruling remains in effect today — meaning abortion is legal in Kansas despite Dobbs. That could change if voters approve the amendment in August.
Abortion-rights groups are also looking to amendments
Now, abortion rights advocates are turning to the amendment solution, too.
Four states and the District of Columbia have already codified the right to abortion throughout pregnancy, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that advocates for abortion access. That includes New Jersey and Colorado, which passed those measures earlier this year.
In Vermont, voters in November will consider a first-of-its-kind constitutional amendment guaranteeing "personal reproductive autonomy." On Monday, in the wake of the Dobbs decision, legislators in California approved a similar ballot measure to put to voters in November.
An abortion rights group in Michigan backed by the ACLU, is working to gather enough signatures to do the same there.
Judicial elections and appointments make state supreme courts easier to change
While the U.S. Supreme Court justices have lifetime appointments, state courts can change much more rapidly, experts note.
High court judges in 38 states are subject to elections, according to the Brennan Center — whether they are elected directly by voters, or appointed initially then later face retention votes. In many states, partisan governors or legislatures appoint judges.
"This is all going to be very much in flux and very much open to popular influence and popular votes in elections," Dinan said. "You can have one state supreme court voted in. Then several years later, it can change."
Look at Iowa, he said, where this month the state supreme court overturned a ruling from just four years ago that had outlined a broad right to abortion. Since the original ruling in 2018, the state's Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, was able to replace four of the court's seven judges, opening the door for a new decision.
No matter which view of abortion voters may take, the new focus on state constitutions heightens the importance of voting in state elections. According to Ballotpedia, nearly 90 state supreme court seats are on the ballot this year.
"States have been doing this the whole time, and the stakes have been higher than most Americans realize," Ziegler said. "I think this is something that's probably overdue in terms of people paying more attention and understanding the importance of state constitutions for the rights we have."

Justices say veteran who lost job as Texas trooper can sue state
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a former state trooper to sue Texas over his claim that he was forced out of his job when he returned from Army service in Iraq.
The justices ruled for Army veteran Le Roy Torres under a federal law that was enacted in 1994 in the wake of the Persian Gulf war to strengthen job protections for returning service members.
By a 5-4 vote, the high court rejected Texas’ claim that it is shielded from such lawsuits. “Text, history, and precedent show that the States, in coming together to form a Union, agreed to sacrifice their sovereign immunity for the good of the common defense,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the court.
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by three other conservative justices, dissented, arguing that “when the States ratified the Constitution, they did not implicitly consent to private damages actions filed in their own courts—whether authorized by Congress’ war powers or any other Article I power.” Article I refers to the part of the Constitution that spells out Congress’ power.
Torres says he suffered lung damage from exposure to open burn pits on his base in Iraq. He spent a year in Iraq and was discharged as a captain after nearly 19 years in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Separately, Congress is nearing final passage of a sweeping expansion of health care and disability benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were exposed to the open pits that were set ablaze with jet fuel to dispose of tires, batteries, medical waste and other materials.
The state and Torres dispute what happened when he returned to Texas, unable to resume his job as a state trooper because of the damage to his lungs. He eventually resigned and later filed his lawsuit. A state appellate court dismissed it, and the justices stepped in.
Congress first allowed returning service members to sue states to keep their jobs in 1974, recognizing discrimination because of opposition to the Vietnam War.
In March, the court allowed the Navy to take account of sailors’ vaccination status in deciding on deployments, narrowing a lower court order. Three justices, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, dissented from the high court’s order.
They also dissented Wednesday, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

The future of education lies in addressing the challenge to equity and access, with technology bringing a turning point in the Indian education system, according to CBSE officials.
"The future of education lies in addressing the challenge to equity and access. Technology forums or emerging areas of technology have brought about a turning point in the Indian education system. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is for everyone to see how technology is playing and driving the systems and processes of education.
"It is also necessary to place the impetus on the process of curriculum development as we adopt and adapt as per the requirements of the industry," Biswajit Saha, Director-Skills and Training, CBSE said.
"To build a tech-savvy education hub in India, the private and the public sector need to come together and drive the technologically enhanced curriculum under the ambit of the 21st century skills. A technologically enhanced learning ecosystem is needed to move to an outcome-based approach to gauge where and how education is truly being delivered to solve gaps in equity," he added.
Saha made the comments during a roundtable on the transformational shift in the education sector brought by the pandemic and evolution of the education ecosystem.
According to Navtez Bal, Executive Director, Microsoft India, the World Economic Forum estimates that more than 1.2 billion children in 186 countries got affected by school closures due to the pandemic.
"Technology played a pivotal role in maintaining learning continuity at this time and is enabling schools, teachers and students around the world to do more than ever before. At Microsoft, our aim is to create immersive and inclusive experiences that inspire lifelong learning, stimulate the development of essential life skills, and support educators in guiding and nurturing student passions," he said.
Microsoft has been working on the digital transformation of the education ecosystem in India, working closely with policymakers, schools, teachers and students to transform learning outcomes with technology. Recently, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) collaborated with Microsoft to introduce coding and data sciences in school curriculum.
School principals shared their transition to online learning which was accelerated by the pandemic when a nationwide lockdown was announced to contain the spread of coronavirus and ultimately led to prolonged school closures.
Bhupinder Gogia, principal, Sat Paul Mittal School said, "To make learning engaging during the pandemic, we leveraged technological tools for virtual classes and to collaborate. The pandemic taught us to be open towards the idea of accepting answers from students on platforms, including both online and offline. We realised not every child is confident about voicing their opinions in an offline class."
Paramjeet Kaur Dhillon, founder principal, Kamla Nehru Public School said her school had started preparing as early as December 2019.
"Our teachers were already empowered and we prepared our lessons using OneNote, and Sway and Adobe. We used all possible tech tools and we were up and about by April 2020 to manage the move to a virtual classroom. I strongly believe that empowered educators lead to engaged classrooms.
"We have efficiently leveraged technology as the hub of learning, enabling accessibility in education, implementing gamification and I am proud to say that we have AI learning in addition to design thinking, web designing, multimedia, etc for our students," she said.

Putin's ‘toxic masculinity’ to blame for Ukraine war, says Boris Johnson
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia
- Boris JohnsonPrime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2019
- Justin Trudeau23rd Prime Minister of Canada
Boris Johnson has said Vladimir Putin is an example of “toxic masculinity” and would not have invaded Ukraine if he was a woman.
Speaking at the G7 summit in Germany on Tuesday, Mr Johnson condemned the Russian president for a "crazy macho war" and suggested it had happened because of his gender.
The Prime Minister was asked by ZDF, a German broadcaster, whether his plan to deal with Mr Putin was to ridicule him, after he was caught on camera joking about photos of the Russian president posing topless on horseback.
“If Putin were a woman, which he obviously isn’t, but if he were, I really don't think he would have embarked on a crazy macho war, an invasion of violence, in the way that he has,” Mr Johnson said.
“If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, it’s what he is doing in Ukraine.”
His comments came after world leaders openly mocked Mr Putin for a series of staged photographs where he could be seen engaging in outdoor pursuits.
At the summit on Monday, Mr Johnson joked with Justin Trudeau the pair should take their jackets off to emulate Mr Putin’s photo opportunity.
The pair laughed about how hot it was in one meeting room, where there was no air conditioning.
The Canadian Prime Minister said: "We’re going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display."
Mr Johnson replied: "There you go! We’ve got to show them our pecs."
Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, added: "Horseback riding is the best though."
At the G7 summit, jokes were made about the photo of Putin with his bare torso on a horse.
Boris Johnson suggested that the G7 leaders undress to the waist, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went even further and suggested saddling horses.#Ukraine #poland #russia pic.twitter.com/mzpEgG9btI— Mateusz Sobieraj (@MateuszSobiera3) June 26, 2022
The Prime Minister used the G7 summit to argue that Western countries should not cave to Mr Putin's demands and support a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that would involve annexing Ukrainian territory.
The leaders have since said that the war should not be settled prematurely and have committed to supporting Volodymyr Zelensky in his fight against Russia.
In a communique on Tuesday, they condemned the attacks and called on other states including China to do the same.
The United States has promised to send more air defence weapons to Ukraine, while the UK has underwritten more loans to the country from the World Bank, bringing Britain's total financial support to £1.5bn. | https://news.yahoo.com/putins-toxic-masculinity-blame-ukraine-143743444.html | 2022-06-29T16:01:21Z | https://news.yahoo.com/putins-toxic-masculinity-blame-ukraine-143743444.html | false | 3 |
Yemen car bomb targeting security official leaves 4 dead
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A car bomb targeting a top provincial security official in the southern Yemen city of Aden killed four people Wednesday and wounded 10 others, Yemeni officials said.
A car carrying explosives detonated while the convoy of a security official from a neighboring province was driving by, the officials said. Three of his guards were wounded, but the dead were all civilians.
The top security official for Lahj province Brig. Saleh Sayed was not seriously hurt, added the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Videos from the scene showed the dead and injured lying in a minibus, while a cloud of black smoke rose from the explosion site.
The bombing was the latest to target security officials in the key port city, which serves as the headquarters of Yemen's internationally recognized government.
Aden has been the seat of the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi since the Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized the capital of Sanaa in 2014, triggering the country’s protracted civil war.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. The city has been rocked by frequent bombings in recent years blamed on local affiliates of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. The Houthis have also targeted the city with ballistic missiles and explosives-laden drones. | https://news.yahoo.com/yemen-car-bomb-targeting-security-144441284.html | 2022-06-29T16:01:40Z | https://news.yahoo.com/yemen-car-bomb-targeting-security-144441284.html | false | 13 |

Acidity can be a nagging problem in summer but you can fix it with this easy-to-make sherbet.
This hokum sherbet can reduce acidity and improve gut health
The summer season can worsen already existing digestive problems. Topping the chart of digestive issues is acidity. Acidity is a common condition that plagues the lives of several people. The condition gets worse during the hot months. If you suffer from acidity quite often, you don't always have to rely on medicines to solve the issue. In fact, traditional food ingredients carry the secret to solving acid reflux in the body. Nutritionist Lovneet Batra shares her insight in an Instagram post. She suggests a drink made with kokum and fig. These ingredients are super helpful to treat acidity.
Here's why kokum fig sherbet is helpful for acidity:
- Hydrocitric acid (HCA) is a major acid found in kokum, which suppresses fatty acid synthesis and induces weight loss.
- Basil seeds are known to detoxify your body and act as a stomach cleanser.
- Figs are a great way to boost your fibre intake and promote healthy bowel habits.
In order to make kokum fig sherbet, you'll need these ingredients:
1⁄2 cup semi-dried kokum
1⁄2 cup soaked fig
½ tsp ginger juice
Pinch of cumin seed powder
1 tsp soaked sabja seeds
2 cups water
Follow this method to make kokum fig sherbet:
1. Combine the semi-dried kokum and half a cup of water in a bowl, mix well and keep aside for 30 minutes
2. Strain the kokum water and keep it aside.
3. Blend the soaked kokum in a mixer using half the kokum water and blend till coarse. Keep aside.
4. Combine the remaining half kokum water and soaked fig in a small pan. Mix well while cooking on a medium flame for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl and let it cool completely.
6. Once cooled, add the coarse kokum mixture and mix thoroughly to combine all the goodness together. Strain and pour the syrup using a strainer.
7. Add the roasted cumin seeds powder, and ginger juice to enhance the flavour.
8. At the time of serving, add 2 tablespoons of this syrup along with soaked sabja seeds into a tall glass along with a three-fourth cup of chilled water.
Take care of your digestive system this summer with these nutritious foods and drinks.

"True Detective: Night Country" will star Kali Reis with the previously announced casting of Jodie Foster. It will be HBO's fourth season of the series.
Writer-director-showrunner Issa López will spearhead the latest season. The plot will focus on six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station in Ennis, Alaska, who vanish without a trace. The upcoming season will be filmed in Iceland.
Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) try to solve the mystery while dealing with their own demons. The last time Foster played a detective was in her Oscar-winning role in "The Silence of the Lambs," in which she played FBI agent Clarice Starling.
Reis is a professional boxer and made her film debut in "Catch the Fast One," which earned her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best female lead.
Foster also serves as an executive producer on the series.

Sister hails `down to earth and funny´ tennis star ahead of Wimbledon match
Sarah Beth Grey’s older sister has given a personal insight into the Liverpudlian tennis star’s childhood, her secret artistic side-talent, and how she qualified for Wimbledon just four months after undergoing heart surgery.
Grey will be playing alongside fellow Briton Yuriko Miyazaki, known as Lily, against America’s Asia Muhammad and Japan’s Ena Shibahara in the women’s doubles on Wednesday afternoon.
Britain’s number 12 was told she had a potentially dangerous, abnormal heart rhythm after a routine check-up, and underwent cardiac ablation to fix it in February this year.
Incredibly, she recovered quickly enough to make her third appearance at the Championships this year.
The 26-year-old, who goes by her middle name Beth, is from West Derby in Liverpool and is one of seven children – three older sisters, one younger brother, and two younger half-brothers.
She is especially close with her 29-year-old sister Amy Grey, who told the PA news agency that they shared a bedroom as children and were home-schooled together.
When asked how she was feeling for Beth ahead of her first Wimbledon 2022 game, Amy told the PA news agency: “I’m feeling a mixture of really excited for her and a bit nervous as well because it’s a big deal, playing at Wimbledon.
“I spoke to her this morning, she’s feeling excited to get out there and compete, and I know she’s playing with Lily who’s obviously really talented and played in the main draw yesterday and did really well.”
Amy added that Beth’s heart problem came as a shock to the family.
“She’d had a couple of instances of fainting during the pandemic, but you could put that down to a lot of things, so I don’t think she expected it, but she sensed that maybe something wasn’t quite right,” she said.
“It was quite shocking and quite scary, my mum was really worried.
“We were all just really hoping for the best for her, because we know how hard she works and how passionate she is about playing tennis and when you hear that might not be possible any more… we all felt relief when it was sorted.
“She did recover really quickly, I remember worrying that she wouldn’t in time.”
Amy described her sister as “really down to earth, upbeat and funny”.
“She’s always made people laugh around her and I know she’s got a lot of close friends,” she said.
She added that aside from tennis, the athlete is also “really good at drawing”.
“When she’s not training, she likes to draw to wind down,” she told PA.
“It’s always been something that she’s done – sketching, that sort of thing – when she’s not competing.
“She does cartoons and stuff like that, really random, but she’s really good at them.”
Amy said that all their siblings – who range in age from 10 to 32 – will be watching Beth’s Wimbledon game from scattered locations around the UK, as will their parents Joanne Grey and Cliff Askew. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10965745/Sister-hails-earth-funny-tennis-star-ahead-Wimbledon-match.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-29T16:17:34Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10965745/Sister-hails-earth-funny-tennis-star-ahead-Wimbledon-match.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 8 |

Welcome to the discussion.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.

- First international B2B SaaS company for publisher DPG Media
- Boosts recruitment industry and other marketplace verticals
Aimwel’s marketplace advertising technology platform fully automates marketing campaigns for the recruitment and staffing industry. Other marketplace verticals are to follow in due course.

We know how to grow and seize a great opportunity.”
Addressing needs of recruiters and jobseekers amid Great Resignation
With staff shortages at an all-time high amid the Great Resignation, the needs of both the recruitment industry and talent have changed drastically. There are fewer active jobseekers and applications for a high volume of vacancies.
“Job boards need support in delivering the expected results for recruiters, and that’s where we come in. The 2.5 billion USD recruitment advertising technology market is booming,” says Lauri Koop, CEO of Aimwel, a DPG Media company. “With employees in high demand and more types of media channels grabbing their attention, we have found the perfect product-market fit to attract active and passive jobseekers alike.”
Fully automated cross-media lead generation in a cookieless world

“Working with an innovative technology partner like Aimwel is helping us to run our paid traffic and job application generation in a more efficient, agile and transparent way. They understand both our strategic needs and opportunities, and can translate that into the set-up of our marketing campaigns,” said Simon Wingate, Managing Director at Reed.co.uk.
Aimwel’s SaaS technology enables optimal cross-media partnerships and a stronger performance, generating more applications per job posting at a lower cost.
“Industry knowledge, efficiency and transparency are what defines DPG Media’s Aimwel. We get to maintain a direct dialogue with our existing clients, while Aimwel brings a technological added value that impacts the overall performance and the client’s budget management,” says Harley van Swaay, Head of Programmatic Agency Relations EMEA at Talent.com.
Patent-pending AI technology fully developed by publisher
As an industry first, Aimwel is the first job board advertising technology platform fully developed by a publisher. Standing on the shoulders of publishing powerhouse DPG Media, Aimwel has the know-how to create campaigns that integrate well on niche sites, display and social media.
Aimwel’s data-driven AI lets users run and optimise fully automated campaigns with the right media mix at category level and, importantly, also for individual job postings.

- Partnership to transform the manufacturing industry with immersive experiences across the lifecycle from design through operation
- Companies will connect NVIDIA Omniverse and Siemens Xcelerator platforms to enable full-fidelity digital twins and connect software-defined AI systems from edge to cloud
MUNICH, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens, a leader in industrial automation and software, infrastructure, building technology and transportation and NVIDIA, a pioneer in accelerated graphics and artificial intelligence (AI), today announced an expansion of their partnership to enable the industrial metaverse and increase use of AI-driven digital twin technology that will help bring industrial automation to a new level.
As a first step in this collaboration, the companies plan to connect Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital business platform, and NVIDIA Omniverse™, a platform for 3D-design and collaboration. This will enable an industrial metaverse with physics-based digital models from Siemens and real-time AI from NVIDIA in which companies make decisions faster and with increased confidence.
The addition of Omniverse to the open Siemens Xcelerator partner ecosystem will accelerate the use of digital twins that can deliver productivity and process improvements across the production and product lifecycles. Companies of all sizes will be able to employ digital twins with real-time performance data; create innovative industrial IoT-solutions; leverage actionable insights from analytics at the edge or in the cloud; and tackle the engineering challenges of tomorrow by making visually rich, immersive simulations more accessible.
"Photorealistic, physics-based digital twins embedded in the industrial metaverse offer enormous potential to transform our economies and industries by providing a virtual world where people can interact and collaborate to solve real-world problems. Through this partnership, we will make the industrial metaverse a reality for companies of all sizes," said Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens AG. "For over a decade, our digital twin technology has been helping customers across all industries to boost their productivity and today offer the industry's most comprehensive digital twin. When Siemens Xcelerator is connected to Omniverse, we will enable a real-time, immersive metaverse that connects hardware and software, from the edge to the cloud with rich data from Siemens' software and solutions."
"Siemens and NVIDIA share a common vision that the industrial metaverse will drive digital transformation. This is just the first step in our joint effort to make this vision real for our customers and all parts of the global manufacturing industry," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. "The connection to Siemens Xcelerator will open NVIDIA's Omniverse and AI ecosystem to a whole new world of industrial automation that is built using Siemens' mechanical, electrical, software, IoT and edge solutions."
This partnership brings together complementary technologies and ecosystems to realize the industrial metaverse. Siemens is uniquely positioned at the intersections of the real and digital world, information technology and operational technology. The Siemens Xcelerator platform connects mechanical, electrical and software domains across the product and production processes and enables the convergence of IT and OT.
NVIDIA Omniverse is an AI-enabled, physically simulated and industrial-scale virtual-world engine that enables for the first time full-fidelity live digital twins. NVIDIA AI, used by more than 25,000 companies worldwide, is the intelligence engine of Omniverse in the cloud and autonomous systems at the edge. NVIDIA Omniverse and AI are ideal computation engines to represent the comprehensive digital twin from Siemens Xcelerator.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has moved its demolition bulldozers to Dutse Makaranta, a community in Bwari Area Council, where over 100 buildings have been marked in its ongoing fight against buildings obstructing waterways.
This came on the heels of the demolition of multiple structures at Trademore Estate and other places where flooding has been wreaking havoc.
Senior Special Assistant to FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement, Ikharo Attah, who led the demolition team on Wednesday to the community, said it would be very irresponsible for any government to wait for residents who were not willing to obey extant directives.
Attah, who expressed utmost disgust that occupiers and owners of the buildings on waterways in the community have deliberately refused to heed warnings, said the administration was welding the big stick to save lives, properties and environment.
He noted that it was an act of God that the heavy flooding that swept through the area four days did not leave any record of death, sparing the government any careless social media backlash.
Attah explained that the owners and occupiers of the buildings on the waterways have been warned and asked to leave the area from the onset, but refused to comply, hence the forceful ejection. | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/abuja-flooding-over-100-buildings-to-go-at-dutse-makaranta-waterways/ | 2022-06-29T16:21:15Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/abuja-flooding-over-100-buildings-to-go-at-dutse-makaranta-waterways/ | false | 1 |

Twin supercomputers provide three times the computing capacity to support advanced weather modeling for NOAA
FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), announced today that NOAA's National Weather Service will begin running its operational weather, water, climate and space weather forecast models on GDIT's twin supercomputers.
Meteorologists will produce weather forecast products using output from these model runs. These forecasts are critical for public safety and every economic sector in the U.S., including agriculture, transportation, urban planning, air quality monitoring and the management of emergency response, energy and natural resources. They also inform space weather impacts on communications, electrical power grids and satellite operations.
The identical supercomputers, named Dogwood and Cactus, are architected, deployed, operated, and maintained by GDIT. They significantly upgrade the computing capacity, storage and interconnect speed of NOAA's Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) program and support next-generation weather forecasting models. Dogwood and Cactus are currently ranked No. 49 and 50 fastest in the world by TOP500.
"These supercomputers are a game-changer for NOAA," said Ken Graham, director of NOAA's National Weather Service. "With enhanced computing and storage capacity, we can deploy higher-resolution models to better capture small-scale features like severe thunderstorms, more realistic model physics to better capture the formation of clouds, precipitation and a larger number of individual model simulations to better quantify model certainty. The end result is even better forecasts and warnings."
To provide greater reliability, the supercomputers are located on opposite parts of the country – Dogwood in Virginia, and Cactus in Arizona – with one serving as the primary operational supercomputer and the other as the backup system. The two supercomputers are identical to ensure rapid failover if the primary production role needs to move from one site to another.
Each supercomputing system operates at a speed of 12.1 petaflops, approximately three times the capacity of the previous systems used by NOAA. They ingest billions of observations per day provided by sensors on the ground, ocean buoys, weather balloons and weather satellites. NOAA's environmental data serves as the basis of all weather forecasts in the United States.
"Timely and accurate weather forecasts protect every American citizen, every segment of the economy and play an increasingly important role in emergency preparedness and response to severe weather events," said Kevin Connell, GDIT vice president and general manager for Science and Engineering. "With triple the computing capacity of NOAA's current system, GDIT's WCOSS supercomputers will enable future upgrades to the National Weather Service's models that are essential for accurate and timely forecasts and warnings to protect life and property and enhance the American economy. We are proud to support NOAA on this mission-critical program."
As the largest high-performance computing (HPC) systems integrator for the federal government, GDIT and its High Performance Computing Center of Excellence support complex programs across the civilian, health, defense and intelligence sectors. In addition to WCOSS, GDIT currently operates supercomputing environments for NOAA Research and Development; High-End Scientific Computing portfolio of modeling and visualization tools for the Environmental Protection Agency; and the HPC Modernization Office User Productivity Enhancement and Training program for the Department of Defense.
