MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
Time now for My Unsung Hero from the team at Hidden Brain. My Unsung Hero tells the stories of people whose kindness left a lasting impression. Today, a story about what it feels like to be lost in a new place. It comes from Jamie Spurway of Glasgow, Scotland. In 1998, Jamie flew to the U.S. to study in California - his first time traveling overseas by himself. Luckily, he met a young Irish couple along the way. They were going to Venice Beach, and since Jamie didn't need to be at his final destination till the next day, he decided to tag along. Problem was, none of them knew how to get there.
JAMIE SPURWAY: I think we maybe took three or four, maybe even five different bus journeys, possibly going in different directions each time and always getting instructions from the driver so that they would just say a sort of, OK, first of all, you need to take the No. 22 down to such and such street. And then you get off there, walk around the block, then take the No. 57 to the - it was just an endless list of numbers and names that we didn't fully understand or remember. So we're getting more and more flustered, hotter. We probably hadn't packed much food or water, you know, just not very prepared in every respect. So it's not just that we were kind of tired and hungry.
There was certainly a level of anxiety growing in our minds as well. And so eventually, we decided, OK, we're going to need to just stop and try to figure this out properly and buy ourselves a map. So picture three people, two from Ireland, one from Scotland, going into this gas station to then buy a physical map and then stand outside the gas station wearing our backpacks. We could not have made ourselves look more conspicuous if we had tried. So we stood for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. And then this young woman comes up to us wearing a T-shirt that said, God answers prayers.
Now, I'm not a person of faith, but I admit that in that moment I did have a sense of, wow, has this person been sent from heaven? Because she just looked at us and said, do you guys need any help? And we enthusiastically say, yes, yes, we absolutely do. And we explained where we were trying to go to. And she said, OK, why don't you just get in the car and my mother and I will take you? And that's what we did. And on the journey, they discovered that, you know, I was going to need to travel to Newport Beach the next day. So they said, well, why don't you just come back and stay with us overnight? So not only did they drop off the Irish couple in Venice Beach, they then drove me back, and I stayed with them for a night. They gave me dinner, you know.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
SPURWAY: I think at the time, I was probably conscious of being really grateful, but I don't think I really appreciated just how unusual that level of generosity was. I really would like to be able to reach out and thank them because it was a pretty big thing that they did for one little Glaswegian lost in LA (laughter).

LIMA, Peru -- Hipólito Tica had saved for decades to finally build himself a proper house in a working class neighborhood of Lima. His problem was what to do about “the neighbors” — as he called the centuries-old mummies buried below.
The mechanic had known they were there since the day in 1996 when he tried to dig a latrine on the lot, which is a few yards (meters) from the El Sauce archaeological site on the eastern edge of the Peruvian capital.
Taking a break from hefting bricks, Tica told The Associated Press that he had been working to loosen the earth with a metal rod when the ground suddenly began to collapse.
“I got out of there fast as a spider,” he said.
Tica found a flashlight and went to check out the hole that had opened at his feet, some 5 meters (16 feet) deep and 3 meters (10 feet) wide.
“I saw some bundles — the light was bright enough; they were funerary bundles,” he said.
He wasn't sure what to do, who to tell.
Like roughly a half million other people around the edges of Lima, he had just moved in, building a rudimentary adobe structure on the unoccupied lot without owning a title. So drawing the attention of authorities to an archaeological find could cost him a home.
In spite of that, he said he broached word of the discovery to some archaeologists who were excavating Incan ceramics from nearby streets where the city was installing water lines. He said they didn't pay much attention. He didn't press the issue.
So he decided to just coexist with “the neighbors.” He covered the hole with an old door, a carpet he pulled out of an old car and a layer of dirt.
“Nobody noticed the hole,” he said.
As the years passed, Tico and his neighbors gradually won rights to the property in their new neighborhood, He planned to build a house of brick and cement and along with neighbors applied for water and sewage service — which required approval from the Secretary of Culture and a local museum to ensure to ensure that they would not harm archaeological remains.
There Tica, who had little formal schooling, began to learn about the Incas and other early Peruvian civilizations.
Building the house correctly would mean laying a foundation and filling in the hole where the bodies were buried.
“I was worried,” he said. Friends advised him: "Just cover it, fill it with cement and you're ready.“
But “I had a nagging worry that people in the future wouldn't know anything about this area. Part of history is here,” he said.
So he looked up an archaeologist, Julio Abanto of the Ruricancho Cultural Institute, who was doing research in the area, and told him, “I have a burial and I want you to see it.”
Abanto and his team got government permission for an emergency dig.
The archaeologist lowered himself into the hole with ropes and found three bundles, each of which contained more than one individual — it's not yet clear how many —belonging to a culture within the Inca empire more than 500 years ago.
One of the skeletons has a sort of crown, bits of copper and a silver bracelet, as well as a spoon-like implement used for coca leaf with an image of a bird pecking at the head of a fish. There were also shells of a sort of mollusk prized in the region.
Archaeologists are still studying the finds, but Abanto said they likely belonged to members of a local elite who had been conquered by the Incas.
Now the bricklayers helping Tica build the house chew coca leaf as they work — a common practice in the region — and sometimes bury a few leaves at the now filled-in burial site.
“In our city, it's possible in these most casual ways to find surprising heritage that helps us reconstruct our local history," Abanto said.
In this case, it was “a 21st century family living above another from 500 years ago.” | https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/peru-home-build-vexed-neighbors-inca-era-mummies-85976503 | 2022-06-30T07:48:35Z | https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/peru-home-build-vexed-neighbors-inca-era-mummies-85976503 | false | 16 |

According to officials at Yellowstone National Park, a 34-year-old man from Colorado Springs was gored by a bull bison at the destination on June 27.
The man was walking along a boardwalk near the Giant Geyser at Old Faithful when the bison charged his group. The group did not leave the area as the bison continued to charge, ultimately striking and goring the man.
The man sustained injuries to his arm and was transported to a hospital in eastern Idaho.
The incident remains under investigation at this time.
Yellowstone National Park is home to free-roaming bison, which can pose a dangerous threat to visitors when rules are not followed – one key rule being that 75 feet of distance must be maintained between visitors and all large animals, 300 feet if the animal is a wolf or bear.
This incident bears several similarities to another incident that took place on May 30, in which a 25-year-old woman got too close to a bison while on a boardwalk in the Old Faithful area of the park, getting gored as a result.
According to officials, these are the only two instances where a bison has struck a visitor in the park in 2022, both due to a visitor getting too close to the powerful animal.
Though the detail was omitted from the official reports, in many cases of this nature, the animal does not face repercussions, as they were responding naturally after being provoked.
When threatened, bison are known to defend themselves with strikes, charges, and by trampling. Despite their large size, bison are incredibly fast, capable of running at speeds of 35 miles per hour, coupled with extreme agility.
See a video of the most recent incident below:
This serves as an important reminder to always give wildlife a safe amount of space. Approaching an animal can be seen as a threat, which can result in the animal reacting accordingly.

Travis Barker's former stepdaughter has thanked fans for their love and support following the Blink-182 drummer being rushed to hospital on Tuesday night.
The rocker, 46, has reportedly been told he is suffering from pancreatitis, after being accompanied by his worried wife Kourtney Kardashian to West Hills hospital before he was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.
Amid the star's health battle, Atiana De La Hoya - daughter of his ex-wife Shanna Moakler and Oscar De La Hoya - has taken to social media to acknowledge the "outpouring of love" for her former stepfather.
Posting to her Instagram Stories, the 23-year-old wrote: "Thank you for the outpouring of love and prayers sent our way at this time. It is heard, felt and appreciated Xx."
Atiana then went on to share multiple videos of Travis and Shannon’s 18-year-old son, Landon Barker, performing on stage with Machine Gun Kelly at Madison Square Garden in New York City Tuesday night.
Travis was hospitalised shortly after the concert and just hours after cryptically tweeting: "God save me."
The now-ominous tweet sparked concern amongst fans when Travis was pictured entering an ambulance on Tuesday night, but many have since pointed out the phrase is also the title of a track by one of Travis' pals, Machine Gun Kelly.
It's since been reported by TMZ that his hospitalisation was a result of pancreatitis, with doctors believing it was triggered by a colonoscopy.
Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed over a short period of time and is a rare potential complication following a colonoscopy.
Symptoms include intense stomach pain, vomiting and fever.
Prior to sources close to the family allegedly speaking with TMZ, daughter Alabama Barker also took to her Instagram Stories to say: "Please send your prayers."
Later, in a now-deleted image originally shared on her TikTok page, 16-year-old Alabama posted a photo of herself holding her dad's tatted hand while he was sat upright in a hospital bed.
The snap showed Travis wearing a black brace over his wrist and thumb while he holds his phone in the other.
He was also seen wearing a white hospital identity band around his wrist, which Alabama covered with a pink heart emoji to hide Travis' personal details.
Wife Kourtney is yet to comment or break her online silence regarding her beau's health woes, but it's reported she 'won't leave' her husband's side.
Travis' medical emergency comes just over a month on from the drummer tying the knot with the reality TV star with a third ceremony at a lavish event in Italy on May 21.
The PDA-loving stars previously got 'married' during an impromptu and unofficial Las Vegas service after the Grammys back in April, they then held an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara with only a select few in attendance the following month.
The Mirror has previously contacted representatives for Travis for comment.

‘It’s scary how good some of England’s players are’ - Rice confident ahead of 2022 World Cup
After reaching the semi-finals in 2018, as well as the final of Euro 2020, England now have the squad to start dreaming of World Cup glory in 2022, according to Declan Rice.
The West Ham star was part of the engine room that drove the Three Lions to that European Championship final defeat against Italy, and is member of a generation of English players who have been tipped for major honours since they were teenagers.
Now 23, Rice is entering his peak years, and will head to Qatar in November as one of the Premier League’s leading midfielders, as well as a player that Gareth Southgate knows that he can rely upon to perform at a high level in pressure situations.
Editors' Picks
And it is Rice’s belief that the England squad this winter will be “scary”, even if some fans still need convincing that the team is capable of winning a first major tournament since 1966.
Will England win the 2022 World Cup?
“With the squad we've got, and the players coming through, we have to aim to win the World Cup,” Rice told GOAL during his appearance on Box 2 Box.
“Obviously, we were so close in the summer, but as an England fan as well as a player, some of the players we've got in the squad now are scary how good they are. There's ones coming through as well that obviously want the shirt and are excellent players.
“So I feel like we're in a good place, but that will only be realised if we go and win something major for the country.”
“I feel like if we went and won in Qatar, wow, it would be the first one since 1966, so it would be massive, and I feel like no-one expects England to do it,” he added.
“So us as players, our minds are in the right place, and I feel like every time we go to a tournament now, Gareth has changed that mindset with players in terms of believing we can win it.”
'I'd still be milking it if we'd won Euro 2020!'
Rice was one of the breakout stars of Euro 2020, as his midfield partnership with Kalvin Phillips flourished as the tournament went on.
And though England fell agonisingly short of lifting the trophy on home soil at Wembley Stadium, he did come away from the competition with a unique souvenir.
“I had this feeling with the Euros,” he explained. “Obviously, you can't think too far ahead, but when we got to the final, it was always what-ifs: ‘What if we win? What's it going to be like?’. I feel to this day, I would still be milking it!
“Toni Kroos- he retired after the Euros - and I got his last ever Germany shirt. Somewhere in Germany, they want that in a museum, and I've got it at home!”
Rice was speaking to GOAL as he took part in Box 2 Box - watch him face his biggest fear and more now! | https://www.goal.com/en-gh/news/scary-good-england-players-rice-confident-2022-world-cup/bltdf055b6c4b5fb318 | 2022-06-30T08:06:07Z | https://www.goal.com/en-gh/news/scary-good-england-players-rice-confident-2022-world-cup/bltdf055b6c4b5fb318 | true | 12 |

Despite their age, Hammer and Truitt were able to rekindle feelings of love.

Video: Anthony Edwards shows off his ridiculous quarterback arm
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is one of the more athletic players in the NBA today, and he showcased that athleticism while playing a different sport.
Edwards posted a video on TikTok Wednesday of him airing out an impressive deep touchdown pass. After the completion, the 20-year-old had a message for his hometown NFL team.
“Atlanta Falcons,” Edwards said. “I love ya’ll, but look. If [expletive] ever goes left, I’m trying out for the Falcons QB.”

— Anthony Edwards (@theantedwards_) June 29, 2022
While Edwards appeared to be joking, he has some serious arm talent.
As for the Falcons, the quarterback position is one of great uncertainty for them heading into the 2022 season. The team signed Marcus Mariota this offseason after trading Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts, but he is not guaranteed to be the team’s starter for Week 1. Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder, the No. 74 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has already drawn the praise of head coach Arthur Smith.
Edwards, an Atlanta native, looks to be on his way to a successful NBA career and won’t be giving the NFL a try any time soon. He averaged 21.3 points (19th-most in the NBA), 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals for the Timberwolves last season, and made the 2020-21 All-NBA team during his rookie year. Edwards is also one of the most ferocious in-game dunkers in the league. | https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/anthony-edwards-atlanta-falcons-quarterback/599818 | 2022-06-30T08:17:50Z | https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/anthony-edwards-atlanta-falcons-quarterback/599818 | false | 1 |

Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister on Wednesday night. The announcement was made via Facebook Live shortly after the Supreme Court ordered the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to take a floor test to prove its majority in the Assembly on June 30.
Earlier in the day, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had asked CM Uddhav Thackeray to prove his majority on the floor of the house on Thursday. In response, Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu had filed a plea in the Supreme Court challenging the same. However, The Supreme Court rejected the MVA government’s plea clearing the way for the floor test.

However, Uddhav Thackeray chose not to face the trust vote and resigned a day before the scheduled floor test. With the resignation, Uddhav Thackeray joined the list of Chief Ministers who resigned before a floor test.
Here’s a look at the CMs who resigned before a floor test in recent years:
KAMAL NATH, MADHYA PRADESH
MARCH 20, 2020: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath announced his resignation ahead of the Supreme Court-mandated floor test in the state assembly. Kamal Nath resigned because Congress did not have the numbers required to prove the majority in the house.

The trigger for his downfall was the rebellion by Jyotiraditya Scindia, who left Congress on March 10, 2020, and joined the BJP a day later. Twenty-two MLAs, many of them Scindia loyalists, had already resigned by then, in protest against what they called an insult to their leader.
"All that has happened in Madhya Pradesh in the last two weeks is a new chapter in the weakening of democratic principles, " Kamal Nath had said in the resignation letter that he handed over to Governor Lalji Tandon.
DEVENDRA FADNAVIS, MAHARASHTRA
NOVEMBER 26, 2019: Devendra Fadnavis resigned barely 80 hours after taking oath as CM for the second time. The move was necessitated after the resignation of his deputy Ajit Pawar, citing “personal reasons”.
“After Pawar’s resignation, we don’t have the majority. We will not do any horse-trading,” Fadnavis had said while tendering his resignation.
Fadnavis had taken oath for the second term on the morning of November 23 with Ajit Pawar as his deputy. The move had surprised many as Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was declared the CM-designate of the Congress-NCP-Sena’s MVA alliance a day earlier. After this, the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance decided to approach the Supreme Court against Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s decision to invite Fadnavis to form a government.

BS YEDDIYURAPPA, KARNATAKA
MAY 19, 2018: BS Yeddiyurappa, who was sworn in as the chief minister of Karnataka on May 17, 2018, resigned from his post on May 19, after the BJP failed to get the requisite numbers to show a majority ahead of the floor test in Karnataka assembly.
Before resigning, Yeddyurappa addressed the assembly, saying it was the BJP who had the numbers. “People have blessed us with 104 seats. The mandate wasn’t for Congress or JD(S). I have travelled throughout the state for the last two years and have seen the pain on the faces of people. I can’t forget the love and affection I received from people,”
In the 2018 Karnataka elections, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party but with a post-poll alliance, the Congress and the JD(S) successfully staked their claim to form the government.
NABAM TUKI, ARUNACHAL PRADESH
JULY 16, 2016:- In a Supreme Court judgment on 13 July, Nabam Tuki-led Congress was restored in Arunachal Pradesh. After the judgment Arunachal Pradesh Governor Tathagata Roy had reinstated Nabam Tuki as the state Chief Minister and asked him to take the floor test to prove the majority of his government in the House.
On July 16, however, just hours before the scheduled floor test, Tuki resigned as the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh.
JITAN RAM MANJHI, BIHAR
FEBRUARY 20, 2015: Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi resigned ahead of a trust vote in the state assembly. The resignation was announced by Principal Secretary to Bihar Governor Brajesh Mehrotra.
Manjhi was handpicked by Nitish Kumar to succeed him after he resigned in 2014 following debacle in the general election. The JD(U) Legislature party, while agreeing to decision had asked Manjhi to be the chief minister till the next Assembly poll after which Nitish Kumar would take over from him. But, the plan went awry and a power tussle began between Manjhi and Nitish Kumar. Manjhi, rebelled against Nitish Kumar, and was expelled by JD(U) and was forced to prove his majority | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/maharashtra-crisis-uddhav-thackeray-quit-before-a-floor-test-kamal-nath-fadnavis-yediyurappa-1968512-2022-06-30 | 2022-06-30T08:26:38Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/maharashtra-crisis-uddhav-thackeray-quit-before-a-floor-test-kamal-nath-fadnavis-yediyurappa-1968512-2022-06-30 | false | 2 |
A timber company has been fined $262,500 after a worker was fatally struck by a 580 kilogram pack of timber at a NSW central west sawmill in 2019.
On Thursday, District Court Judge Wendy Strathdee convicted Australian Softwood and imposed the penalty because of the firm's failure to implement proper policies and create a safe workplace.
Truck driver Thomas Williamson was hit by the timber while loading slabs onto the back of a vehicle at the Allied Timber Products sawmill in Raglan on July 22, 2019. He was unresponsive and airlifted to Westmead Hospital.

Suffering a traumatic brain injury, Mr Williamson was pronounced brain dead two days later.
SafeWork NSW launched the lawsuit after being notified of the incident.
Australian Softwood, which is a subsidiary of AAM Investment Group, purchased the sawmill in January 2019 and had no prior experience in running such a company, Judge Strathdee said.
The company could have taken a number of steps to eliminate or reduce risks to workers at the Bathurst sawmill, the judge added.
"I accept that this incident was as a consequence of an inadequate system which did not properly address the risks with regard to the loading of timber products," she wrote.
Noting steps the firm had taken to improve its workplace policies since the incident, Judge Strathdee said she had some comfort Australian Softwood would not reoffend.
She noted the effects of the tragedy on Mr Williamson's family after hearing victim impact statements read in court, including by his wife Debra Williamson.
"It would be impossible for anyone not to be deeply moved by her statement. Mrs Williamson's life has 'been destroyed' by the loss of her best friend, lover and soul mate," the judge wrote.
In a statement, Australian Softwood expressed deep remorse and apologised for Mr Williamson's death, saying it fully accepted the court-ordered fine.
"ASPL unreservedly apologises to the family of the driver, the Bathurst community, and anyone affected by this tragedy," it said.
Australian Softwood's cooperation with SafeWork NSW and its early guilty plea in December 2021 resulted in a 25 per cent discount of a $350,000 penalty imposed by the court.
The firm was also ordered to pay SafeWork NSW's legal costs of almost $38,000.
SafeWork NSW has been contacted for comment.

Asian shares were ending a rough quarter in a sombre mood on Thursday amid fears central banks' cure for inflation will end up sickening the global economy, though it is proving to be a fillip for the safe-haven dollar and government bonds.
As policy makers reiterated their commitment to controlling inflation no matter what pain it caused, data on U.S. core prices later in the session should only underline the extent of the challenge.
"Inflation can be sticky," warned analysts at ANZ. "It is broadening from goods to services and wage growth is accelerating.
"Even with rapid rate rises, it will take time for tightness in labour markets to unwind, and that means inflation can stay higher for longer."
That suggests it is too early to pick a peak for interest rates or a bottom for stocks, even though markets have already fallen a long way.
The S&P 500 has lost almost 16% this quarter, its worst performance since the very start of the pandemic, while the Nasdaq is off an eye-watering 21%.
On Thursday, S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures were both down 0.4% with little sign as yet that the new quarter will bring in brave bargain hunters. EUROSTOXX 50 futures and FTSE futures both fell 0.5%.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan eased another 0.5%, bringing its losses for the quarter to 10%.
Japan's Nikkei fell 1.4%, though its drop this quarter has been a relatively modest 5% thanks to a weak yen and the Bank of Japan's dogged commitment to super-easy policies.
The need for stimulus was underscored by data showing Japanese industrial output dived 7.2% in May, when analysts had looked for a dip of only 0.3%.
Chinese blue chips added 1.6% helped by a survey showing a marked pick up in services activity.
Analysts at JPMorgan expect a major rebound in China in coming months and felt that, with so much bad news priced into world markets, positioning argued for a bounce.
"It is not that we think that the world and economies are in great shape, but just that an average investor expects an economic disaster, and if that does not materialize risky asset classes could recover most of their losses from the first half," they wrote in a note.
DOLLAR IN DEMAND
For now, the risk of recession was enough to bring U.S. 10-year yields back to 3.10% from their recent peak at 3.498%, though that is still up 77 basis points for the quarter.
The yield curve has continued to flatten, and turned negative in the three- to seven-year range, while futures are almost fully priced for another Federal Reserve hike of 75 basis points in July.
The Fed's hawkishness has combined with an investor desire for liquidity in difficult times and gifted the U.S. dollar its best quarter since late 2016. The dollar index was trading up at 105.100 and just a whisker from its recent two-decade peak of 105.79.
The euro was struggling at $1.0452, having shed 5.6% for the quarter so far, though it remains just above the May trough of $1.0348. It also dropped to a fresh 7-1/2-year low versus the Swiss franc at 0.99663 francs.
The Japanese yen is in even worse shape, with the dollar having gained more than 12% this quarter to 136.50 and hitting its highest since 1998.
Rising interest rates and a high dollar have not been good for non-yielding gold which was stuck at $1,816 an ounce having lost 6% for the quarter. [GOL/]
Oil prices were flat on Thursday amid concerns about an unseasonable slowdown in U.S. gasoline demand, even as global supplies remain tight. [O/R]
OPEC and OPEC+ end two days of meetings on Thursday with little expectation they will be able to pump much more oil despite U.S. pressure to expand quotas.
September Brent rose 17 cents to $112.62 a barrel, while U.S. crude added 7 cents to $109.85.

Mercedes-Benz EQS EV To Be Unveiled This July - Range Topping Variant Has 949Nm of Torque
Electric Vehicle EVThe Mercedes-Benz EQS flagship EV has been spotted in Malaysia and it wants to let you know that July 22 is its big day.
There's no denying it, all the rave at the moment is about all-electric cars, and it seems that Mercedes-Benz wants you to know that it too wants to play hard in this exciting new segment.
Going around social media are pictures of a heavily disguised Mercedes-Benz EQS, which on its side writes, "Under Wraps Till July 22". Apparently, it was spotted on the East Coast Expressway.
We suppose this is Mercedes-Benz's way of telling everyone that the car has arrived on our shores and that a preview/launch is imminent.
Mercedes-Benz EQS in Malaysia!
For those unfamiliar with the EQS, the electric vehicle is inspired by the Vision EQS first unveiled in 2019. It is Mercedes' first flagship all-electric member of the new S-Class range and the flagship model of the company's EV brand, EQ. The EQS is the second model to use the EVA platform (after the EQC SUV) and can be had in a 785km driving range (EQS 450+) configuration.
Initially, the EQS was offered as a rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+ variant, which is powered by a single electric motor on the rear axle producing a total of 333PS and 568Nm of torque, and the AWD EQS 580 4Matic which adds a motor on the front axle for a total power output of 532PS and 855Nm of torque.
The variants have grown quickly since then, where Mercedes now offers six different configurations, namely the EQS 350, EQS 450+, EQS 450 4Matic, EQS 500 4Matic, EQS580 4 Matic, and AMG EQS 53 4Matic+.
The base EQS 350 features a 90.6-kWh battery that is good for a range of 638 kilometres, while all other variants feature a 107.8-kWh battery with varying outputs and range.
The German EV can be juiced up via its 11-kW onboard AC charger or the optional 22-kW add-on. As for fast charging, the sedan supports up to 200 kW of DC fast charging, which Mercedes says can provide up to 300 km of range in just 20 minutes.
The technical specs for all variants are listed down below:
- EQS 350(rear motor) - 292PS/565Nm/638km of range
- EQS 450+(rear motor) - 333PS/568Nm/785km of range
- EQS 450 4Matic(front and rear motor) - 360PS/800Nm/685km of range
- EQS 500 4Matic(front and rear motor) - 449PS/855Nm/685km of range
- EQS 580 4Matic(front and rear motor) - 523PS/855Nm/676km of range
- EQS 53 4Matic+(front and rear motor) - 658PS/949Nm/586km of range
We're not sure what variants Mercedes-Benz Malaysia will introduce, but it makes sense for them to feel out the market by introducing the base variant and the EQS 450+, which has the highest driving range out of the lot.
We'll have to wait for July 22 to get a better idea, but who knows, they might just go all out and introduce the EQS 53 4Matic+ with nearly 1,000Nm of torque.

It's a record fit for a queen.
The head of the British royal family, Queen Elizabeth II, just became the second-longest reigning monarch in world history.
Taking the throne on Feb. 6, 1952, the queen has ruled the realm for 70 years and 127 days.
She just surpassed the lengthy reign of former Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who ruled from 1946 until his death in 2016.
French King Louis XIV remains in the top spot, having served as monarch for more than 72 years after taking the throne at age four and dying in 1715.
It's not the first time Queen Elizabeth II, who is 96, has set a royal record.
In 2015 she became the longest reigning monarch in British history, exceeding the tenure of Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother.
"Inevitably a long life can pass by many milestones — my own is no exception — but I thank you all and the many others at home and overseas for your touching messages of great kindness," the queen said at the time.
The United Kingdom just celebrated the queen's Platinum Jubilee, marking her seven decades on the throne.
She made several appearances during the festivities despite declining health, which has forced her to walk with a cane and miss other public events in recent months.

Okuma, Fukushima Pref. – Japan lifted an evacuation order Thursday morning for a part of Okuma, a town in Fukushima Prefecture, that had been in place since the March 2011 nuclear accident.
The removal of the evacuation order was the first for a difficult-to-return zone in the municipalities that host Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, which suffered a triple reactor meltdown after a massive earthquake and tsunami.

Dubai: Etihad Airways has resumed passenger flights between Abu Dhabi and Beijing. The airline’s flight EY888 landed in Beijing this morning, becoming the first regular direct international passenger service to return to Beijing under China’s latest COVID-19 mandate.
This is also the first flight between the two destinations since March 23 2020. On board were UAE diplomats, employees of Chinese enterprises with investments in the UAE, business travellers and students. “Today marks a significant moment in Etihad’s history as passenger flights resume to Beijing for the first time in over 800 days,” said Tony Douglas, Group CEO, Etihad Aviation Group. “The direct flights between Abu Dhabi and Beijing will undoubtedly facilitate the deepening of bilateral cooperation in various fields and promote stronger bonds among the people of the two nations.
“As global travel restrictions rapidly ease, Etihad is equipped to further increase operations to China and meet the rising demand from travellers in both locations to support the recovery of economic and social activities worldwide.”
The weekly service will commence on July 6, and will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring Business and Economy cabins. “Etihad continues to deliver on its commitment to facilitating a resilient and prosperous air bridge between the UAE and China, and beyond,” said Ahmed Al Qubaisi, Senior Vice President, Government International & Communications, Etihad Aviation Group. “This maintains passenger and cargo movement and supports economic and political exchanges between both nations.” | https://gulfnews.com/business/aviation/etihad-to-launch-weekly-flights-from-abu-dhabi-to-beijing-from-july-6-1.88945935 | 2022-06-30T09:02:38Z | https://gulfnews.com/business/aviation/etihad-to-launch-weekly-flights-from-abu-dhabi-to-beijing-from-july-6-1.88945935 | true | 1 |
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence knew about life under the spotlight well before the team selected him in last year’s draft. He was the No. 1 recruit coming out of high school in 2018 and was as advertised at Clemson where he was a national champion.
As a result, Lawrence is qualified to give those with plans to eventually play in the NFL advice. He’s especially qualified to give No. 1 recruits advice, and he did just that this week when asked about 2023’s top high school recruit, Arch Manning.
In a recent Q&A with The Spun, Lawrence said Manning should listen to those closest to him. He also said that if Manning shows up ready to learn and grow, he’ll be able to overcome any adversity he faces.
“I’m sure he has a lot of good people in his corner that can help him, but I’d say it’s really important to learn how to manage expectations.” Lawrence said when asked what advice he’d give Manning. “It’s important to block out all the noise. The only voices you should listen to are your internal expectations of yourself, your teammates, your coaches and family. You should try to block everything else out.”
“There’s going to be a lot on his plate, but you have to show up ready to learn and grow. You’re not going to be perfect from Day 1, but he is really talented and has a lot of abilities. He needs to carry that confidence over while knowing you do have to start over. You have to do that at every level. It’s something I’m going through right now in the NFL. So you need to realize you’re there for a reason, but you have to earn that respect from your teammates. He seems like a quarterback who’ll do great.”
Manning, who has committed to the University of Texas, will have plenty of experienced players from the NFL to lean on. As many are aware, his grandfather is Archie Manning, who spent 11 seasons in the NFL. He will have his uncles Peyton and Eli Manning to call on for help, too, as both have a combined total of 33 years of NFL experience.
As for Lawrence, he isn’t a bad choice to seek advice from, either, especially when considering how he was able to endure what was the most disastrous Jags season in history under Urban Meyer. However, better things could be on the horizon for Lawrence as the team has replaced Meyer with a former Super Bowl-winning coach in Doug Pederson. | https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/29/trevor-lawrence-offers-advice-to-2023s-no-1-high-school-recruit-arch-manning/ | 2022-06-30T09:02:51Z | https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/29/trevor-lawrence-offers-advice-to-2023s-no-1-high-school-recruit-arch-manning/ | false | 3 |
While the Jacksonville Jaguars have been known to be big spenders in recent free agency history, they’ve also been able to get several players on value contracts through undrafted free agency. Right now, that’s the case for their best offensive player James Robinson, whose set to have a cap number of $896,668 this season.
For this reason, Robinson was listed to NFL.com’s “best team that money can buy,” which was constructed by Anthony Holzman-Escareno. Operating under the league’s salary cap figure of $208.2 million, he made a 53-man roster, most of which had to be full of value contracts.
In the end, Holzman-Escareno not only took advantage of landing Robinson on his rookie deal, but three other rushers in Jonathan Taylor, Antonio Gibson, and Elijah Mitchell, all of whom were his top-3 running backs ahead of the third-year Jaguar.
James Robinson tore his Achilles in Week 15 and might not be ready to start the season, but the luxury of a productive, proven player on an undrafted deal was too good to overlook. His 2,403 scrimmage yards are the 11th-most in the NFL over the last two seasons.
While the Jags have only won four games in Robinson’s first two seasons, he’s more than done his part. As a rookie, he was able to accumulate 1,070 yards and seven rushing touchdowns in 2020 and 767 rushing yards with eight touchdowns last season. His yard per carry averages were 4.5 and 4.7 in those seasons, respectively, which puts him at a 4.5 yard per carry average this year.
As of now, it seems Robinson won’t be ready for the start of training camp, which means 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne is going to get a good look this summer. However, when Robinson returns the Jags definitely should have big plans for him as combining his skills with Etienne’s would give them one of the better backfields in football. | https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/30/jags-rb-james-robinson-lands-on-nfl-coms-best-team-money-can-buy-as-a-backup/ | 2022-06-30T09:02:57Z | https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/30/jags-rb-james-robinson-lands-on-nfl-coms-best-team-money-can-buy-as-a-backup/ | false | 1 |

Some 75 years to the day, Qantas was nationalised by the Chifley government, marking the beginning of a golden era for the national airline known for being ‘The Spirit of Australia’.
Fast toward to the present day and the carrier is going through heavy turbulence — from apologising to a customer for losing their father’s ashes, to cancelling one in 10 flights last month.
Then this week, there was a very public demand from the tagline’s author to Qantas CEO Alan Joyce to strip ‘The Spirit of Australia’ off all branding.
Qantas has also come under fire from its own sector. Travel agents are seething that the carrier slashed their multi-million-dollar commissions from 5% to 1% as of July 1, with a slew of other airline carriers following suit.

The latest stories, funding information, and expert advice. Free to sign up.
And customers are devastated, irate and everything in between.
There are stories of luggage disappearing for the entire duration of a trip away, flight disruptions leaving hundreds sleeping in a US airport, and hours-long waits on the phone to customer service agents who may or may not be able to help them, even though flight vouchers expire soon.
This week, SmartCompany readers shared their Qantas heartbreaks and horror stories.
Annie Oeding says she was a “very proud” Qantas cabin crew inflight manager for 30 years.
“Loved my job, my [people], our reputation, our safety contribution,” she said.
“I am now ashamed of the company and how [the] CEO has totally destroyed our wonderful international icon. I’m beyond sad.”
Oeding says she found it difficult to stomach that Qantas accepted government support during the pandemic but went on to sack 2000 staff, a decision the Federal Court twice declared illegal.
Another reader, who called themselves Ossie, says “Qantas used to be the company everyone was proud of, employees and non-employees alike”.
“Employee morale is so low it is heartbreaking. And it is only going to get worse, much worse, as the sense of love for the company they work is dead,” Ossie continued.
“In the past staff would go out of their way to make sure things went as smoothly as possible if there was a glitch, because they loved Qantas.
“Now most staff feel abused and have no interest at all in going the extra mile to make sure Joyce gets his bonuses.
“The only solution is [to] get rid of him and replace him with someone who actually does get what ‘The Spirit of Australia’ means.”
And some of the travel horror stories are enough to make you forget about booking that winter getaway interstate.
One reader, Nicole, arrived at her destination and was told her bags didn’t come too. So she filed a lost baggage claim.
Then, she was told her baggage claim had disappeared too, with no record of it on the system.
Dismayed, she filed a second baggage claim with a besieged staff member dealing with a crowd of 30 other people.
“Bags arrived five days later — website didn’t work so could not track the bag, no one in Sydney or Cooloongatta would answer the phone,” Nicole said.
Irene Freeman says her bags went AWOL too. She was forced to pay $300 so she would have clothes to wear on a cruise.
Two weeks later, her bags have still not been found, she says.
“No help from Qantas only to tell me to keep tracking … This is how our national carrier treats us.
“No compensation as yet, terrible service.”
Susan Wanmer says Qantas’ fall from grace shows how consumers trust a brand — “or lose trust in this case”.
Sure, Wanmer says, Qantas is reeling from the impact of the pandemic in terms of labour shortages, but “the customer does not care”.
“Communication, care of needs, show of customer-centric actions are needed consistently to mend and improve damaged relationships here,” she said.
“A company needs to personalise itself in this day and age and upgrade its understanding of service. It needs to ‘upmanage’ or internalise its pain, rather than sharing its justifications with consumers.
“Why? Because consumers are powerless in the commercial relationship … other than choosing to leave by voting with their feet.”

COVID-19: How Cases in the Grand Island, NE Metro Area Compare to Other Major Metros
The U.S. reported over 665,000 new cases of coronavirus over the seven days ending June 26, bringing the total count to more than 85.6 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. There have been more than 1,005,000 COVID-19-related deaths -- the highest death toll of any country.
New cases continue to rise, albeit at a slowing rate. In the past week, there were an average of 26.4 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 Americans -- a decrease from the week prior, when there were an average of 32.0 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.
While new data shows that the risk of contracting COVID-19 is high in almost every part of the country, cities continue to be the sites of major outbreaks and superspreader events. Experts agree that the virus is more likely to spread in group settings where large numbers of people routinely have close contact with one another, such as colleges, nursing homes, bars, and restaurants. Metropolitan areas with a high degree of connectivity between different neighborhoods and a large population may be particularly at-risk.
In the 50 largest metro areas, the incidence of COVID-19 grew at an average rate of 29.3 new cases a day per 100,000 residents in the past week -- 14.3% greater than the case growth in all counties outside of metro areas.
The Grand Island, NE metro area consists of Hall County, Merrick County, and Howard County. As of June 26, there were 26,201.6 confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 Grand Island residents, roughly in line with the national rate. For comparison, the U.S. has so far reported 26,532.2 cases per 100,000 Americans nationwide.
The incidence of coronavirus cases depends on a variety of factors and can vary even between neighboring counties. Within the Grand Island metro area, Hall County has the highest incidence of COVID-19 cases. As of June 26, there were 27,438.2 cases per 100,000 residents in Hall County, the most of any county in Grand Island, and far greater than the county with the lowest incidence. In Howard County, there were 18,934.1 cases per 100,000 residents -- the least of any county in Grand Island.
In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, city and county governments have ordered the closure of thousands of consumer-facing businesses. These measures have led to widespread job loss and record unemployment. In the Grand Island metro area, unemployment peaked at 11.4% in April 2020. As of November 2021, the metro area’s unemployment rate was 1.9%.
To determine how the incidence of COVID-19 in the Grand Island, NE metro area compares to the rest of the country, 24/7 Wall St. compiled and reviewed data from state and local health departments. We ranked metro areas based on the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents.To estimate the incidence of COVID-19 at the metropolitan level, we aggregated data from the county level using boundary definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population data used to adjust case and death totals came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey and are five-year estimates. Unemployment data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is seasonally adjusted.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to make history as Supreme Court's first Black woman justice
Jackson replaces retiring Associate Justice Stephen Breyer at a historic moment for the Supreme Court, days after its conservative majority overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
- Jackson, a 51-year-old appeals court judge, could serve on the high court for decades.
- She was confirmed by the Senate three months ago, picking up three GOP votes and all Democrats.
- Jackson is unlikely to upend the conservatives 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON – Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former public defender and Miami native who rose to become a judge on a powerful federal appeals court, will make history Thursday when she is sworn in as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
Jackson, 51, a Harvard-trained lawyer who was confirmed by the Senate nearly three months ago, will take the seat occupied by Associate Justice Stephen Breyer for nearly three decades. Breyer announced his retirement in January, clearing the way for President Joe Biden to name Jackson as his first pick for the nation's highest court.
Currently a judge on the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Jackson will take the oath of office at a fraught moment for the high court, as its decisions to overturn Roe v. Wade and expand access to handguns have exacerbated tensions among the justices and underscored divisions among Americans over culture war issues.
But none of that will be on display as Chief Justice John Roberts administers one oath of office to Jackson and Breyer – for whom Jackson clerked more than 20 years ago – administers the other. With that, Jackson will become the 104th associate justice – marking the first time women and people of color outnumber white men on the court.
When the justices return to Washington in October with Jackson in her seat, there will be four women and two African Americans on the nation's highest bench for the first time in the court's 233-year history.
Bio:What to know about Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, next Supreme Court justice
In her words:We watched 14 hours of Jackson's speeches. Here’s what we learned.
Insight:After hearings, experts debate how Jackson would interpret the Constitution
Jackson was confirmed 53-47, picking up the support of three Senate Republicans along with all Democrats. Because she is replacing Breyer, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton, Jackson is not expected to change the court's conservative tilt. Relatively young for a Supreme Court justice, Jackson could serve for decades.
Though Republicans largely praised Jackson's temperament, some accused her of being soft on crime and questioned her role defending alleged terrorists who were classified as enemy combatants after the 9/11 attacks. Though some of that criticism was sharp – unfair, according to Democrats – Jackson sailed through the hearings.
Because she sat on Harvard University's board of overseers, Jackson announced in March that she will recuse herself from a case pending at the Supreme Court challenging the affirmative action policies at Harvard College and at the University of North Carolina. Arguments in that appeal are expected to take place in the fall.
Jackson will be the first former federal public defender to serve on the Supreme Court. She will be the only justice with experience on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, a bipartisan agency that makes recommendations about criminal sentences in federal court On a court where many of her colleagues worked in presidential administrations before becoming appeals court judges, Jackson will be one of two justices – along with Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor – to have served as a trial court judge.
Defender:Jackson would be Supreme Court's first federal public defender
Justice:Review of Jackson's opinions shows outcomes cut both ways
Diversity:For Black women judges, blazing a trail has meant opportunity, scrutiny
Some of Jackson's decisions drew criticism from conservatives, including a 2019 case in which she ruled that President Donald Trump's former White House counsel, Don McGahn, had to testify as part of a congressional impeachment inquiry. She was also criticized on the right for ruling against a Trump effort to expand the number of immigrants in the country illegally who would be subjected to expedited deportation.
Those same critics rarely mentioned other cases in which Jackson sided with Trump, such as in a challenge to his controversial border wall. In another case, she ruled that federal immigration law allowed faster removals for certain migrants seeking asylum.
Jackson will arrive on the court after a historic term in which tensions between the justices spilled out into the open, a dramatic leak of a draft opinion in the abortion case undermined confidence in the court's protocols and protests erupted in response to that leak, including some that took place outside the homes of the justices themselves.
She has quietly watched those events following her confirmation, leaving her in the unusual circumstance of being a confirmed Supreme Court justice without an actual seat on the court for months. Breyer had always intended to retire at the end of the term, but his decision became public in January, prompting Democrats – with the slimmest of majorities in the Senate – to move quickly to confirm her.
"Justice Jackson’s swearing in reflects a long overdue but welcome historic milestone," said Elizabeth Wydra with the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center. "She will join a court at a historic crossroads, too, with two starkly different visions of the Constitution and our country represented by the conservative majority and more liberal dissenters." | https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/06/30/ketanji-brown-jackson-become-first-black-woman-supreme-court/7772768001/ | 2022-06-30T09:18:11Z | https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/06/30/ketanji-brown-jackson-become-first-black-woman-supreme-court/7772768001/ | true | 1 |
Supply chain snags and overcrowded ports have been a huge issue for the Biden Administration.
Consumer spending may have dipped a bit recently, but global demand remains high during the COVID pandemic. In fact, Bloomberg reports $150 Billion in profits for ocean-freight companies last year alone.
Well, there’s a contract negotiation involving more than 20,000 employees at West Coast ports that could up-end shipments of just about everything Americans use on a daily basis. The current contract expires on July 1.
Host Scott Tong gets the latest from Los Angeles Times business reporter Sam Dean.

FALLS CREEK — A new record was set at the DuBois Regional Airport in May, with a total 1,303 passengers, according to Manager Bob Shaffer. The previous record was 1,200 passengers in July 2019.
There were 651 passengers outbound for the month of May this year versus 379 passengers outbound last year for the month of May, Shaffer said at last week’s Clearfield-Jefferson Counties Airport Authority’s meeting.
Shaffer reviewed the total inbound/outbound passengers, which was 1,303 over 743 passengers in May 2021. He said the total inbound/outbound passenger year-to-date for this year is 3,902 over 2,389 in 2021.
“That’s a stellar month,” said Shaffer, noting that it’s the airport’s best month ever.
Shaffer also reported that there were more passengers going to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) than Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) in May — 324 passengers going to PIT and 327 passengers to IAD.
According to Shaffer, Southern Airways, the airport’s passenger carrier, had a 99 percent completion factor for both inbound and outbound flights in May.
“With only two cancellations, that’s fantastic, because across the board there’s cancellations, Delta, American, United,” said authority member Joe Varacallo. “(That’s an) Unbelievable amount of cancellations for various reasons. I know one of the reasons is lack of pilots. Where does the industry stand on the retirement age, moving from 65 to older? I know (Southern CEO) Stan (Little) mentioned that Southern’s looking and trying to push that, but across the board, can you just comment on that?”
Shaffer said he thinks that Little’s comment was that when the airline retirement age is 65, Southern can pick up those pilots then and fly them on Southern roots; Southern can go beyond that 65-year-old-age group. Shaffer said, “I think there is a push to increase the industry average,” and asked authority member Glenn Schuch if he can speak better on pushing the industry age limit.
“There is a push for that,” said Schuch. “They’re trying to be careful with it because if they extend the retirement age that makes the career choice less popular with the younger pilots, and they’re trying to recruit. It’s kind of a balancing act for them. So far that’s all that’s been discussed.”
Shaffer also reviewed the Southern Airways charts for the month of May. He said that 73.6 percent of passengers going to PIT were connecting to another flight and 64.5 percent of passengers going to IAD were connecting to another flight. He also said 35.5 percent who are going to IAD were staying local.
Shaffer also said that United Airlines was the popular connecting airline with American Airlines in second.
Shaffer reviewed the home zip code by county for the month of May. He said that 17.6 percent of the passengers were from Clearfield County; 12 percent were from Jefferson County; and 8.79 percent were from Elk County.
Shaffer reviewed a yearly chart supplied by Southern showing the growth from 2016 to present, and he said that May has been the best month ever so far.
Jet A fuel sales
Shaffer said the sales were up in May this year compared to last year. Total gallons sold in May this year was 15,370 gallons vs. 14,293 gallons last May. Jet A retail sales were up this year in May compared to last year. For the month of May this year, the airport sold 2,358 gallons vs. 1,679 gallons last May. He said 100LL sales for May this year were down from last year. This year in May the airport sold 947 gallons vs. 1,231 gallons last May.
Car rentals
Authority Chairman Jay Chamberlin said he and Shaffer met with Geoffrey Brackman from DuBois Airport Car Rentals on June 2, as per the agreement, to discuss if there were any issues. Chamberlin said Brackman has seen an increase in car rentals and he hopes that continues. | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/news/official-dubois-regional-airport-sees-best-month-ever/article_d2f7a8f2-f7db-11ec-9db8-db7bd5715a57.html | 2022-06-30T09:23:51Z | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/news/official-dubois-regional-airport-sees-best-month-ever/article_d2f7a8f2-f7db-11ec-9db8-db7bd5715a57.html | true | 1 |
'I'm scared!' Man, 56, asks Dave Ramsey if it's 'safe to retire' as inflation soars
DAVE RAMSEY reassured a caller that he is "safe to retire", despite inflation eroding away at savings.
During a video posted 13 days ago on The Ramsey Show - Highlights YouTube channel, Malcolm, 56, called in to ask the money expert if there was any point drawing from his pension in the next year as inflation continues to increase. In the US, inflation is currently 8.6 percent.
Malcolm explained that he had lived “pretty frugal” all of his life and has been able to save $1.2million (around £990,000) in his nest egg through workplace and private pensions.
He wanted to retire in the next few years but with the way the economy is at the moment, he was “really starting to worry”.
Malcolm said: “I know that amount sounds like, ‘Oh my gosh you’re a blessed guy’ and I truly am, but we know that $1million (around £825,000) isn’t what it was 10 years ago.
“Frankly I’m scared about retiring.”

His household income has averaged at about $250,000 (around £205,000) annually.
However Dave said with his nest egg he would need to cut back and be able to live on $100,000 (around £82,000) if he decides to retire next year and draw from his pension.
Dave asked Malcolm what mutual funds his money was invested into but he couldn’t answer as he did not know.
Mr Ramsey said: “You need to know. That’s why it’s scary. You don’t know what’s going on.
“You need to get with your guy on the phone today and say, ‘I’m scared. You need to explain to me what my money is invested’.
“You need to be in good growth stock mutual funds with long track records and then ask the guy what your track record is on your mutual funds.
“Let’s say you’re in a series of mutual funds that are properly invested, and the last 30 years the track record has been 11 percent on the portfolio that you hold, that would be a reasonably invested set of mutual funds.
“11 percent of $1million (around £825,000) is $110,000 (around £90,000).”
Mr Ramsey said that over a period of time, he could make 11 or 12 percent.
This has been a “track record” on the US stock market for 80 years.
As long as Malcolm takes off less than what he has averaged, he will be fine over time, the personal finance expert suggested.
Malcolm agreed with what Dave was saying but was worried about the current economic climate.
He said: “I know that is historically accurate but have we ever been in something like this before.”
Mr Ramsey explained it has been a lot worse, insisting this is “a walk in the park".
He continued: “Average bear market is only 13 months , and average time to recover from a bear market is only 27 months.
“So don’t let the bear scare you. It’s an opportunity to buy cheap shares.” | https://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/1633272/Dave-Ramsey-retirement-planning-inflation-investing | 2022-06-30T09:24:21Z | https://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/1633272/Dave-Ramsey-retirement-planning-inflation-investing | false | 1 |

Buckingham Palace says lessons have been learned after a review into bullying allegations made by royal staff against Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, though it declined to give any details about the report's conclusions.
The HR review was announced by the palace last March after the Times newspaper reported allegations had been made against Meghan, the American wife of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince Harry, including that she had reduced some of her assistants to tears and treated others so badly that they had quit.
The couple issued a statement in response denying she had bullied anyone, and in an interview with Oprah Winfrey shortly afterwards, she accused the palace of “perpetuating falsehoods”.
Michael Stevens, the queen's treasurer who is known as Keeper of the Privy Purse, said the privately-funded review, which was carried out by an independent law firm, had been set up to examine the handling of the allegations and to improve practices across all the royal households. | https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/2022-06-30-lessons-learned-says-palace-as-meghan-bullying-report-stays-secret/ | 2022-06-30T09:32:21Z | https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/2022-06-30-lessons-learned-says-palace-as-meghan-bullying-report-stays-secret/ | true | 1 |
Maharashtra Chief Minister Udhav Thackeray resigned from the post in an emotional address on Facebook Live on June 29. Thackeray, heading the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, announced his decision after the Supreme Court refused to stay the Maharashtra Governor’s direction to hold a floor test in the Assembly on June 30.
The political crisis in Maharashtra had reached the Supreme Court when Shiv Sena chief whip approached the apex court challenging the Maharashtra Governor’s direction.
The rebellion of a large section of Shiv Sena MLAs, led by senior party leader Eknath Shinde brought the MVA government on the verge of collapse. Shinde has been claiming that he has the support of around 40 Shiv Sena MLAs and several independent legislators.
The Shiv Sena with 55 MLAs, headed the MVA government. The Congress party having 44 MLAs and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) with 53 legislators were the alliance partners of the MVA government. The opposition BJP has 106 MLAs in the Maharashtra Assembly having a total strength of 288 members.
CVoter-IndiaTracker conducted a nationwide survey for IANS to know the people’s views about Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staking claim to form the government in the state in such a situation.
The survey highlighted that the majority of Indians believe that the BJP should take initiative to form the government in Maharashtra. During the survey, while 61 per cent of the respondents asserted that BJP should stake the claim to form a new government in the state, 39 per cent expressed completely different opinions on the issue.
Interestingly, during the survey, while the majority of NDA voters — 80 per cent stressed that it is the right time for the BJP to take the lead to form the government in the state, opinion of opposition voters was divided on the issue.
As per the survey data, while 56 per cent opposition voters said that the BJP should not take initiative to form the government, 44 per cent spoke in favour of the BJP taking the lead to return to power in the state.
Notably, during the survey, the majority of respondents from most of the social groups expressed their views in favour of the BJP staking claims to form the government. As per the survey data, 65 per cent UCH, 71 per cent OBC, 67 per cent SC and 63 per cent ST respondents spoke in favour of the BJP taking the initiative to the government. At the same time, the majority of Muslims — 70 per cent expressed a completely different opinion on the issue.

DANIELLE KURTZLEBEN, HOST:
And now it's time for sports.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
KURTZLEBEN: The Golden State Warriors come back to claim the NBA championship. WNBA superstar Sue Bird announces her retirement. And the 2026 men's World Cup could be coming to a city near you. Joining us now is Howard Bryant of Meadowlark Media. Good morning, Howard.
HOWARD BRYANT: Good morning, Danielle. How are you?
KURTZLEBEN: Great. So let's start with the Golden State Warriors. They beat the Boston Celtics on Thursday to claim their fourth championship in eight years. It was a great series, wasn't it?
BRYANT: It was a terrific series and a fantastic series for the Warriors, who'd come back after all of those injuries. It did not even seem that - people were talking about these dynasty being dead. It's very much alive. They showed their championship mettle when it counted the most. The Celtics were the better team for the first three games and about 44 minutes, until Game 4, when Steph Curry took completely over. And they never looked back. Golden State is by far the better team at the end of the series. And what a series for Steph Curry - once again, four championships, one of the, the great players of all time. And they really showed it.
This was - I'm sure the first championship was the sweetest, but this championship has to feel incredible for the Warriors for so many reasons and also for Klay Thompson, who missed pretty much two seasons due to injury. And probably sure, maybe he believed he was going to get back to the top, but in the back of your mind, when you have those kind of injuries, hoisting a championship trophy one more time feels more like a dream. And they made it happen. Unbelievable moment for them.
KURTZLEBEN: Well, let's talk more basketball and more greats of basketball. We're going to talk about Sue Bird, the Seattle Storm and WNBA legend. She announced she's calling it a career after this season. Tell us, what'll be her legacy?
BRYANT: Well, I think the legacy of Sue Bird is not really going to be in the accomplishments or in the achievements. It's going to be getting so many young girls and young women to be basketball players, to join in the WNBA, to grow the sport. She's going to be one of those Mt. Rushmore, Mt. Everest players who you look to whenever you think about the greatness of the players. I mean, male, female - you can't really top what she's done.
One of the things that when I think about these athletes, at some point, when she said she wanted to go back and play the way she did when she was a little girl. But my goodness, even she, I'm sure, could not have imagined two NCAA titles, four WNBA titles, five Olympic titles, a 38-0 as an Olympian, the all-time leader in assists for the WNBA. She's played 21 seasons for one team, for the Storm. The league's only 25 years old. It just tells you everything about what Sue Bird is and has been to the sport. And it's just one of the all-time greats - and clearly decided before the season began that this was going to be the last one. Thought it was going to be last year. Instead, it's going to be this year. So enjoy Sue Bird for the final season that we get her.
KURTZLEBEN: All right. Finally, a big week in the world of soccer. FIFA announced the host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup. It's taking place here in the U.S., in Canada, Mexico. Tell us, which cities made the cut?
BRYANT: Well, you've got - it's almost like a redux of 1994. You've got San Francisco Bay Area. You've got LA. You've got Kansas City, Boston. And it's going to be great. I'm looking forward to it. You've also got two Canadian cities, and you've got Mexico, as well. This is one of those moments where you're waiting to see if your city made the cut. All the time zones are represented. Obviously, D.C. didn't make it. Huge disappointment there. But anyone who remembers 1994 when the World Cup came to the United States is going to go out and get their tickets now because boy, that was a lot of fun, as well.
KURTZLEBEN: That's Howard Bryant of Meadowlark Media. His latest book is "Rickey: The Life And Legend Of An American Original." Thank you so much, Howard.
BRYANT: Thank you.

Tiny London flat just 2.5m wide is extortionate at £1,050-a-month… and it’s missing a key feature
A TINY studio flat in north London has been listed for rent at £1,050 per month – and it’s missing one very key feature
The room is located on Green Lanes, opposite Finsbury Park in North London, and has been described as an “excellent park view double studio flat”.
In photos, the room appears to be just over 2.5m wide, with a double bed pushed against the wall to allow just enough space for the front door to open.
At the foot of the bed – so close that the bed is almost a part of it – is the kitchen, with cupboards, a sink, fridge, oven and electric hob.
Obstructing the oven door is the door to the bathroom, which contains a small shower, toilet and sink.
The room also contains a single chair on which to enjoy your dinner - with no table - a window, TV, fitted wardrobe and full-length mirror.
You might be opposite the park but there is no garden or parking provided.
Most read in Money
The room is located on the second floor of a “lovely character building”.
At £1,050 per month, the studio is advertised as “excellent value for money” despite costing almost £300 more than the north London average of £751 pcm, according to rental website SpareRoom.
Meanwhile, the property is almost double the national average monthly rental cost of £595 pcm.
Thankfully, however, all bills and council tax are included in the price.
The room is available for individuals, including students.
The listing warns: “This property is a MUST SEE that will rent very quickly.”
It is currently listed with OpenRent and is available to rent immediately. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19046342/tiny-london-flat-extortionate-missing/ | 2022-06-30T09:40:45Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19046342/tiny-london-flat-extortionate-missing/ | true | 2 |

How old Is Love Island's Danica Taylor?
30 June 2022, 09:42
What is Danica Taylor's age? Here's everything we know about the Love Island star...
Love Island fans will know Danica Taylor hasn’t exactly been lucky when it comes to finding a partner on the show.
Arriving as a bombshell, the dancer first set her sights on Luca Bish, before sharing a kiss with Davide Sanclimenti.
But how old is Danica and where is she from? Here’s what we know…
- How much do Love Island contestants drink in the villa?
- Love Island merchandise: How to buy the 2022 water bottles and suitcases
- Gemma Owen's dad Michael reacts to Love Island dance challenge 2022
What is Danica’s age?
Love Island’s Danica is 21-years-old and hails from Leicester.
She said before entering the villa she is determined to go after what she wants, admitting: “I am definitely going to go in there and step on a few toes and I am more than happy to go after what I want.
“I feel like I am quite a relatable person. I’ve come from a small town but I’ve got a lot in me. I like to be silly. I’ve got an immature side and a mature side.”
Danica graduated university with a degree in dance and also works as a professional dancer.
She has even toured with international DJ Jax Jones and performed on stage.
How tall is Danica from Love Island?
Danica previously told Luca that she is just below 5ft3 but likes to round up.
The dancer previously explained why she’s currently single, and said: “My last relationship I was in for quite a long time, but he wasn’t meeting what I needed in a relationship.
“I need someone who can match my energy. I am an extrovert and in my previous relationship he was very introverted so we didn’t meet on a level.”
Her mum would also describe her as “a bit of a princess, a bit dramatic and always thinks [she is] right.”
She added: “I don’t really see competition, I am a very self-assured girl, I know myself, I know what I bring to the table and there are stunning girls in that Villa but I back myself.
“There’s obviously going to be competition because there are guys in there that I like that are already interested in other girls but I have no fear that I won’t be able to turn heads.” | https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/love-island/how-old-danica-taylor-age/ | 2022-06-30T09:42:18Z | https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/love-island/how-old-danica-taylor-age/ | false | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices are high, and drivers are paying more at the pump. But the OPEC oil cartel and allied producing nations may not be much help as they decide Thursday how much more crude to send to world markets.
That's because the 23-member OPEC+ alliance, which includes Russia, is struggling to produce enough oil to keep up with the rebounding demand for fuel since the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus, Western buyers are shunning barrels from Russia over its war in Ukraine, meaning there’s less oil on the market to go around.
OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, and its allies will decide whether to boost production in August beyond the increase of 648,000 barrels per day that the group agreed to at its last meeting. That boost was a modest step at providing some relief to soaring prices. Before, OPEC+ had been adding about 432,000 barrels per day monthly to put oil back on the market after cutting production dramatically during the height of the pandemic.
Gasoline prices around the world have reached painful highs. In the U.S., they surpassed $5 a gallon for the first time this month before dipping in recent days as global oil prices fell on fears of a recession. U.S. President Joe Biden has been under pressure to do whatever he can to reduce gasoline prices for struggling Americans, including urging Congress to suspend gas and diesel taxes, although many experts say there’s little he can do.
OPEC, on the other hand, could help lower prices by increasing production — in theory. But that doesn’t mean it will, even as Biden has urged the group to do so.
Production has fallen substantially behind OPEC+ quotas. Angola and Nigeria have longstanding shortfalls, among others, and questions have arisen about how much spare production capacity Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have in reserve.
There’s also little incentive for OPEC+ countries to boost production even if they are able, said Heather Heldman, managing partner at Luminae Group.
“At the end of the day, they’re worried about their economic bottom line, not the political fortune of a foreign leader,” Heldman said.
In addition, Biden is planning his first trip to Saudi Arabia as president, and both countries will want something positive to announce after that summit next month, Heldman said.
“From the Saudi perspective and Emirati perspective, there’s really no need to make any meaningful gesture now,” she said.
Russia's war in Ukraine has contributed to high oil prices fueling inflation around the world. At a summit of the Group of Seven leading economies this week, the U.S. pushed for a price cap on Russian oil imports to try to blunt the price spikes and reduce money from oil sales flowing into the Kremlin’s war chest.
The G-7 agreed to explore imposing the cap by tying it to services needed to sell oil such as insurance and shipping. Service providers would face sanctions if they facilitate the sale of oil over the cap. But the proposal left many important aspects open and will be the subject of talks in the weeks ahead.
The European Union, a key importer of Russian oil, also has approved a ban on 90% of Russian oil imports by year's end.
As of May, surplus production capacity in non-OPEC countries decreased by 80% compared with 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Surplus capacity is oil production that can be brought online within 30 days and sustained for at least 90 days. In 2021, about 60% of the surplus production capacity was in Russia, but much of that was eliminated as of May 2022 due to sanctions, the agency said.
High gasoline prices in the U.S. aren't just about rising oil prices and less oil on the market. Most American refineries are operating at capacity, so even if there was more oil produced, they wouldn't be able alleviate high prices by quickly turning it into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.
U.S. crude traded down 0.2% at $109.70 per barrel ahead of the meeting, while international benchmark Brent dropped 0.6% to $115.35 per barrel. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/OPEC-may-not-be-much-help-with-high-oil-17276014.php | 2022-06-30T09:42:22Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/OPEC-may-not-be-much-help-with-high-oil-17276014.php | true | 34 |
Forum highlights helium, rural businesses
TWIN ARROWS
Frankie “Navajo Grandma” Davis said if she becomes president, she will mine the reservation for its natural resources because it’s the tribe’s “God-given blessing.”
Davis was responding to a question of whether candidates supported resource extraction development last Tuesday at the third candidates for president forum hosted by the Navajo Entrepreneurship Coalition at the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort.
“It’s not just oil and gas,” Davis said. “You guys gotta get that out of your mind.
“We have two or three natural resources,” she said. “We have helium – I know everybody’s tired, every time you hear that word you want to throw up – but it’s found in only five places in the world. And the Navajo Nation is the only place that is where it is available now.”
Revenue streams
Tommy Rock, Diné, a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton University’s Department of Geosciences, said the Navajo Nation isn’t the only place helium is found.
Rock, who has a doctorate in earth science and environmental sustainability, showed the Times that Qatar, Algeria, Russia, Canada and China have significant helium deposits.
The Cliffside in Texas, Hugoton in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, Panhandle West in Texas, Panoma (Kansas) and Riley Ridge (Wyoming) are depleting fields from which most U.S.-produced helium is extracted.
Helium production in 2020 decreased in the U.S. and worldwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Navajo Nation Oil and Gas Co. CEO James McClure, on Jan. 23, said the helium supply has been dropping since about the 1990s, but the demand for it has increased. He describes helium as an inert colorless, nonflammable gas.
McClure said the Nation has about 40 sites, including the Sanostee and Teec Nos Pos areas, that can be developed for helium extraction to help the tribe’s coffers grow.
“We feel like the revenue streams could exceed $100 million for the Navajo Nation,” he said, referring to just two of the proposed helium development sites in Sanostee.
If all 40 sites were given the green light, McClure said potential profits for the tribe would increase drastically.
“If all 40 are successful, you’re talking about a potential billion-dollar project for the Navajo Nation’s benefit – that’s the royalty share,” McClure said. “And so, our view is it’s something – and that’s making some conservative assumptions on the price of helium.
“If the price of helium continues to go up, could be even larger,” he said. “So, we think it’s definitely a worthwhile opportunity financially to consider pursuing.”
Helium is the lightest element on Earth. Once it reaches the atmosphere, it will float away into space, added McClure.
Navajo Oil & Gas reps, such as Leonard Eltsosie, have been working with Speaker Seth Damon, who sponsored a bill to extract helium using fracking methods.
Despite being tabled and many residents voicing concern against it, Damon’s helium legislation has been kicked back to the Naabik’íyáti’ Committee, where it is still sputtering.
Oil & Gas also paid for radio time at the veterans’ forum in Farmington.
Eltsosie and former Kayenta Township manager Jarvis Williams, now at Oil & Gas, has attended all three forums.
At the June 14 forum at Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint, Davis also said she supports developing natural resources.
She said the tribe was sitting on a “vast wealth of natural resources,” calling the Nation a “little Saudi Arabia.”
“And that is a God-given blessing. Why are we ignoring it?” Davis asked.
Davis’s campaign website (https://navajopresident.com) said she would use oil and gas extraction money to eliminate drugs and alcohol by appropriating clinics to “help addicted Navajos.”
“The Navajo Police will be enlarged to do this,” her campaign site said.
Economic troublestribe’s economic woes and challenges. Each candidate was given two minutes to discuss their vision for the economy and afterwards the candidates were alowed three minutes to introduce themselves.
Candidate Greg Bigman said if the tribe eliminated the development of natural resource extraction, it would distress the general funds.
“Right now, roughly about 40% of Navajo revenue is dependent upon fossil fuels,” Bigman said. “So, to say that you’re going to eliminate it right now, it’s going to have a huge impact on the Navajo Nation’s general fund.”
According to the controller’s office, for fiscal 2023 oil, gas and coal are projected to provide $78 million, which is 36% of the $213.8 million total of projected general fund revenue.
Bigman also spoke of the closure of the Navajo Generating Station and Kayenta Mine negatively impacting the tribe.
Bigman said the tribe needs to turn to health care to diversify the economy on the reservation.
“There’s roughly about $4 billion that is in health care, and a majority of it moves off the Navajo Nation,” Bigman said. “So, there are several things like health care that are really important.
“One is not only health care and Medicaid services,” he said. “The other is home care for our elders, mental health for our students, those suffering from depression and suicide, and all these other mental disorders.”
Leslie Tsosie, from Standing Rock, New Mexico, also said she was for the development of resource extraction.
She said communities in Eastern Agency, specifically Navajo allottees, would be impacted by the proposed 10-mile buffer zone around the Chaco Culture National Historical Park if it is approved. Approval would create a 20-year moratorium around the park.
“The people over there are really suffering,” Tsosie said. “They have nothing. They’re not getting anything out of this.
“They are really frustrated,” she said. “And they really would like this help with our Navajo Nation.”
Agriculture, homes, land
Frank Dayish Jr. said three primary industries must be brought to the Navajo Nation – agriculture, home manufacturing, and land.
He said the tribe is already moving away from coal and other fossil fuels. As president, he would move toward developing solar and wind energy, which could provide electricity for Navajo homes.
“And with those three basic industries, every one job that is created there, three service sector jobs will be created in terms of communities we develop,” said Dayish, who worked at NASA as a contracting officer.
“So, those are the plans that we have in place that we want to continue to move forward with working for Indian Health Service,” he said. “I’m going to bring that experience here to the Navajo Nation.”
For small businesses to flourish on the reservation, Dayish said the “procurement and regulations” needed to be “reviewed and adjusted” and made easier for entrepreneurs.
Currently, according to Change Labs, a nonprofit that helps Indigenous entrepreneurs grow their businesses, 43% of Navajo residents live below the poverty line, and $219 million in sales tax revenue is lost to border town spending.
They also attribute several factors that contribute to the “stagnate growth” of small businesses on the reservation.
“The lack of infrastructure, limited small business financing, lack of support networks and mentors, and a history of exclusion from national and global economies,” Change Labs stated, are reasons why business development on the reservation is not evolving.
“As a result,” the nonprofit said, “the Navajo and Hopi nations continue to struggle economically, despite possessing resource-rich land and a young workforce.”
Small business owner Germaine Simonson, Diné, said she hasn’t been able to provide fuel for her customers because she’s been trying to get her fuel excise tax license from the Navajo Tax Commission.
Simonson owns Rocky Ridge Gas & Market near Hardrock, Arizona. She co-hosted the forum.
According to the tribe’s tax commission, a fuel excise tax is a tax on motor fuel imported onto the reservation. A fuel excise tax license is required for distributors, carriers, retailers and refiners to sell fuel on the reservation.
The fuel tax on the Nation is 18 cents per gallon and 25 cents a gallon for diesel. Retailers and carriers must file tax returns and pay the tax monthly.
$220M collected
The Navajo Tax Commission reports more than $14.2 million in fuel taxes in fiscal 2019 and more than $12.6 million in fiscal 2020 were collected.
Overall, the tax commission collected taxes from tobacco products, hotels, junk food and alcohol from fiscal 2019 and 2020 for a combined total of $220 million.
The Navajo Entrepreneurship Coalition, which is comprised of nonprofit and for-profit Navajo businesses and organizations, stated on its website that the Council is considering increasing sales tax rates from 6% to 10%. If the Council were to approve the tax hike, it would require small Navajo businesses and larger, corporate-owned companies to collect sales taxes as high as 10% from the Navajo and non-Native customers.
Simonson wondered if the Navajo Tax Commission copied sales tax ideas from bigger towns outside of the reservation.
Whatever their practices, Simonson said it was hurting her local customers who live in very remote areas and whose vehicles were not capable of traveling 30 to 35 miles to the nearest gas station.
“Last week, I was at the store, and a couple of elderly came in, and they said, ‘When are you going to get fuel? My ranch truck has just been parked because I can only go here, the short distance, to get fuel because it’s a ranch truck. I use it to haul water and to drive around the ranch to look for animals,’” Simonson said.
Simonson said she would like to sit down with Navajo leaders and discuss her experiences running a small business in rural Navajo.
“Let’s find solutions, let’s look at regulations and tax commission, and let’s really find some ways to support Navajo business because we need to find ways to start small businesses,” she said.
Candidate Buu Nygren said if he’s elected, he will make it easier for small Navajo businesses to get access to financing and business-site leases.
“(I will) remove some of the red tapes that are involved with business regulatory, and make sure that Navajo businesses come first,” he said. “They shouldn’t be a second, third or fourth priority. They should be the number one, and we should make it happen.”

Adama Traore’s incredible body transformation revealed from scrawny kid to hulking hench Wolves winger
ADAMA TRAORE has shown off his bodybuilder physique while relaxing on holiday.
But he hasn't always been this way, with a pic of him on Spain Under-17s duty showing a skinny, lanky, somewhat awkward looking teenager.
The Spanish speedster was just 16 when the snap was taken, but 10 years on it is clear to see he has bulked up by packing on loads of muscle mass.
Traore, 26, has always been known for his speed and trickery.
But incredibly it was as recently as a few seasons ago that one prominent Twitter account said of him: "Adama Traore genuinely looks like he could be the best player in the world, until he has to cross the ball, or make a pass."
The same cannot be said now - and Barca's decision to loan him back in January can attest to that.
His change, though, has coincided with his radical body transformation.
Traore signed for Barcelona in 2004 and progressed through the youth ranks before making his one and only appearance for the senior side in December 2014.
He was ultimately deemed not good enough though and the following year moved to Aston Villa.
Relegation forced him into a rethink and he signed for Middlesbrough before going down with them too.
MOST READ IN FOOTBALL
You would have been forgiven for thinking he was cursed at that point but Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo clearly saw something building.
The Molineux gaffer authorised Traore's £18million move in August 2018 and a bulked up physique has coincided with powerful performances on the pitch.
His performances at Molineux would earn a return to Barcelona.
But he recently fired out a message to the world after failing to make his dream move permanent.
Traore said: “Every pain makes you stronger, every betrayal smarter.
“Every disappointment smarter, and every experience wiser. Warrior.”
Fans were quick to react to Traore’s topless photo, with one saying: “A footballer of his size is a dream.”
Another declared: “I would love to see him at Barcelona.”
One added: “Looking good bro.” | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10635214/adama-traore-body-transformation-wolves/ | 2022-06-30T09:42:43Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10635214/adama-traore-body-transformation-wolves/ | false | 4 |
HANGZHOU, China, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A treasure trove at the high-profile Sanxingdui archaeological site in Sichuan Province, China, has been unveiled to the public with a total of nearly 13,000 numbered relics unearthed, including 3,155 relatively intact relics in the newly discovered six sacrificial pits. Scantech's high-precision 3D laser scanners has been used for recording and restoring ancient artifacts unearthed.
Sanxingdui, an ancient site located in Guanghan in Sichuan Province, has been recognized as one of the most important ancient sites in the world for its vast size and long period, and enriched cultural contents.
From the end of 2020 until now, archaeologists have been seeking to uncover the mystery of this ancient civilization by adopting a brand-new archaeological research mode. By leveraging expertise across different disciplines and fields, they have confirmed that the site is dated to 3000 years ago, showing that the ancient Shu civilization is an integral part of Chinese civilization.
On-site 3D Scanning for Relics Excavated
High-tech methods for archaeology has been adopted to bring the charm of these treasure back to the public, among which 3D scanning plays an important role. Scantech is glad to be a joint force representing the world's fine craftsmanship and ingenious design.
Repair of an Bronze Sacred Tree
The object to be repaired is the bronze sacred tree No.3, one of eight magnificent trees unearthed from sacrificial pit No.2 of Sanxingdui in 1986.
There is no definite conclusion about the function of the tree. Some think it is related to a kind of tree described in Classic of Mountains and Seas, a Chinese classic text, and a compilation of mythic geography and beasts. Ancestors of the ancient kingdom of Shu used these sacred trees to communicate with heaven and earth and show their reverence and awe for their ancestors and gods.
Challenge of Replicating Artifacts in Broken State
Unlike the relatively intact and delicate artifacts displayed in a museum, relics excavated in these sacrificial pits were broken and crushed. Evidence suggests that the objects were shattered and thrown into pits after being used for ceremonial rites.
Being severely crushed, most of the relics excavated from the sacrificial pit of Sanxingdui were broken into hundreds of pieces, making them challenging to restore. In addition, thousands of years of oxidation and decay make the repair even harder. Undoubtedly, the conditions of these artifacts posed great challenges for excavation and restoration.
Given the enormous amount of bronze pieces, it was difficult and time-consuming for researchers to replicate all these broken artifacts with their bare hands, which is a long-standing problem for archaeology. It took more than ten years for archaeologists to repair sacred trees No.1 and No.2. Recently, the repair of sacred tree No.3 has ended.
Workflow of Reconstruction
Before conducting any restoration for the scared tree No.3, the archaeological researchers decided to assemble these pieces to see what it looked like virtually. The decision was to to ensure that there is no damage caused to the object before actual restoration and to accelerate the repair process.
The first step was to collect data. Traditionally, experts use conventional measurement methods and photography to record data, which takes a long time. The data captured are usually not complete and limited for use.
This time, for the Sacred Tree No.3, archaeologists used 3D scanning to capture the tree's data. They used our handheld laser 3D scanner to capture the data of 69 branches of the tree one by one. Thanks to its ultra-high scanning rate, Scantech's metrology 3D laser scanner assisted researchers in accurately obtaining complete 3D data of relic fragments in a short amount of time.
A model is then generated in 3D software to reconstruct 1:1-sized branches. The 3D model was virtually assembled by referring to similar relics of Sanxingdui from the same period.
Virtual assembly can help to replicate the divine tree No.3 to its original form digitally without damaging it before the actual repair. It simulates the repair process by virtually assembling these pieces, providing accurate data for shedding insights on subsequent reconstruction. The data captured were also stored and can be archived for further use.
After assembling all the broken pieces of the tree No. 3, archaeologists brought this delicate bronze tree back to life. The archaeology and restoration of cultural relics at the Sanxingdui Site are still in full swing. We believe new technologies will play a vital role in reviving more cultural treasures.

Here's why over 50% of South Africans don't trust our drinking water
A survey conducted to measure the opinions on the quality of drinking water suggests that over 50% of South Africans are not confident that the water they are consuming is entirely safe.
WaterCAN manager Dr Ferrial Adams says the lack of confidence in our tap water has led to many opting for bottled water instead, with residents in the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo doubting its quality more than those living in Gauteng and the Western Cape.
A recent Blue Drop report says the state of the municipal water is dire and that South Africans should start sitting up and taking note to bring a deeper awareness about the state of our water supply.
Though municipalities regularly test the country's drinking water for the Department of Water and Sanitation, Adams says the challenge South Africans face is the reports not being readily available to the public, something they are legally obligated to do.
They're not meeting standards but they need to make that information available for the public and they're not... by legislation, by law, if there's a problem with the water, they need to publicly state that.
Dr Ferrial Adams, Manager - WaterCAN
A major concern from South Africans includes the smell and presence of particles (and sometimes even amphibians) in the water, which is not helping their faith in the quality of the water coming out of their taps, leading to many feeling sick.
There are a lot of people who said that after drinking [tap water], they felt sick after a while or they were nauseous, etc... and I think the only time that municipality is really going to start sitting up and listening, is when more people start getting sick and it becomes a pandemic, which I think we're heading in that direction.

BRUSSELS, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Litigation Funders Association ("ELFA") has been established to serve as the European voice of the commercial litigation funding industry. With a focus on the EU, ELFA's objective is to represent the industry before EU clients, governmental bodies, international organizations, and professional associations, and to set good standards of practice to be promoted throughout the industry.
ELFA is founded by three leading litigation funders with a European footprint including Deminor, Nivalion AG, and Omni Bridgeway Limited. ELFA's current directors are Charles Demoulin (Chief Investment Officer, Deminor); Marcel Wegmüller (Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Nivalion AG); and Wieger Wielinga (Managing Director EMEA Omni Bridgeway), who will serve as ELFA's inaugural Chairman. The intention of the association is to be inclusive for all professional litigation funders of larger or smaller size.
"ELFA's membership will be comprised of professional funders who are active and present in the EU and is intended to include both large established funders as well as small, emerging funders," states Wielinga. "My co-founders and I saw a clear need for this level of inclusivity and concentration on the EU. What not everyone knows, is that the cradle of the legal finance industry lies here in the EU, where it was created thirty years ago. The establishment of ELFA is a natural next step in our industry's progression. We are already in discussions with a number of interested funders who are enthusiastic about joining ELFA."
The association invites prospective members who meet ELFA's membership criteria and adhere to the association's Code of Conduct which is central to ELFA's mandate. The code establishes and promotes high industry standards, general principles and best practices in the interests of clients to ensure that litigation funders follow the same institutional standards and processes clients expect of their other finance partners.
In this regard, states Demoulin, "The establishment of ELFA underscores the industry's maturation in the financial services community, while indicative of the growing need for dispute finding solutions." He continues, "Fundamentally, legal financing supports the rule of law. For companies, organizations or individuals with limited resources, litigation funding facilitates access to justice by ensuring that disputes are resolved based on the merits, not who has the bigger legal budget. Litigation funding helps restoring the balance."
Typically, a commercial legal finance provider will pay the fees and expenses associated with the pursuit of a claim or will advance a portion of the value of the pending claim, in exchange for a portion of the recovery of the judgment or award if the matter is successful.
Wegmüller notes, "Expanding the understanding of our industry, the role we serve in legal and financial contexts, and value we provide clients is one cornerstone of ELFA's purpose. ELFA aims to be the primary and trusted resource in the EU for information, research, commentary and inquiries concerning dispute funding and commercial legal finance."
The growth of legal finance globally has seen the emergence of associations representing other regions and industry participants. ILFA (International Legal Finance Association) represents the largest funders with international footprints and operations, and ALF (Association of Litigation Funders) represents funders active in England and Wales.
"With the legal finance industry incepted in the EU in the late 1980's and growing exponentially, particularly in recent years, it is time to organize our collective voice to ensure and promote our sector's continued transparency, sound principles, and intelligent consideration in the EU's legal forums and financial markets," concludes Wielinga. "We are convinced that litigation funding can contribute something valuable to the legal ecosystem."

Two of the nation’s largest pipeline companies are planning projects that would expand their businesses into petrochemical manufacturing.
Houston-based Enterprise Products has applied for tax abatements on two ethylene manufacturing facilities in East Texas that, if built, would cost a combined $10.5 billion. Energy Transfer of Dallas also plans to build an ethylene manufacturing facility along the Gulf Coast.
The potential projects would help meet soaring global demand for ethylene. Chemical-makers buy ethylene to make compounds such as polyethylene, a basic plastic used in packaging, and polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, polymers used in everything from construction to consumer electronics.
For pipeline companies, ethylene production is “a natural next step,” analysts said. Enterprise and Energy Transfer already take in natural gas, separating out its ethane — the precursor to ethylene — so it can be sold to chemical-makers, who then sell the resulting ethylene back to pipeline companies for transport and storage.
More ethylene manufacturing facilities need to come online in order to keep pace with growing demand for plastics, said Chris Mudd, managing director for Chiron Financial, a Houston-based energy investment banking firm. He said it would take at least one new ethylene manufacturing facility starting up each year.
“The way people live now,” he said, “there’s more demand for flexible packaging, which all comes from ethylene.”
The U.S. Gulf Coast is also a natural place to build one, he said, because natural gas is more affordable here.
Enterprise is proposing a $5.25 billion ethylene plant at its Mont Belvieu complex in Chambers County. The unit would have the capacity to produce 2,000 kilotons per year of ethylene. At that facility it also plans to build a $1 billion unit that processes ethylene into polymer-grade propylene, which is used to make plastics and fibers.
Enterprise also plans to build a $5.25 billion ethylene production facility at its Beaumont Marine East property along the Neches River in Orange County. That project could produce 2,000 kilotons per year of ethylene.
Energy Transfer, too, is looking to build a “world-class” petrochemical facility along the Gulf Coast, part of its plan to provide a coastal ethylene system to “connect the dots between Louisiana and Houston,” executives said during first-quarter earnings call in May.
The company is looking to strike deals with potential ethylene buyers for that project before it reaches a final investment decision, executives said.

Jeon Jong-seo won't forget dancing to BTS song in opening scene of 'Money Heist: Korea'
By Kim Boram
SEOUL, June 30 (Yonhap) -- Actress Jeon Jong-seo said Thursday she will not forget the opening sequence of the latest crime drama "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area," where she dances to a song by K-pop boyband BTS.
The Korean remake of the smash-hit Spanish series is Netflix's latest Korean-language original series set on the Korean Peninsula in 2026, when the two Koreas establish a joint economic area (JEA) as a first step toward unification.
The first episode opens with teenage Tokyo, a North Korean student played by Jeon, dancing to the lyrics of BTS song "DNA" on her headphones while walking down a staircase in Pyongyang.
"I practiced it a lot. I danced far more and longer than the scenes shown in the series," Jeon said in a media interview. "I felt a bit embarrassed when filming that sequence, but I don't think I'll ever forget this scene."
Jeon, who made her impressive silver screen debut with the thriller "Burning" (2018), said the eye-catching opening sequence features Tokyo, who is just an ordinary teenage North Korean girl with a longing for South Korea's prosperity.
But she later falls into the hands of the loan sharks in Seoul, where she hopes to settle in pursuit of the "Korean dream."
"She gets frustrated and hurt. Everything in the South goes beyond her expectations," she said. "A man called Professor comes to her and lends a helping hand when she is on the verge of death."
So Tokyo takes part in a great plot masterminded by Professor (Yoo Ji-tae) to overtake the mint at a joint economic area, which is an economic symbol of unification on the Korean Peninsula.
Jeon said her character, who also serves as the narrator of the series, is the character that is changed most in the Korean version from Tokyo played by Ursula Corbero in the Spanish original.
"In the original, Tokyo is a troublemaker who is suggestive, sexy and wayward. Very attractive," she said. "But the Korean Tokyo is very loyal to Professor, reasonable and tries to see situations with a calm and cold-headed eye."
The 27-year-old actress, a big fan of the Spanish version, said she was surprised with the huge change in the characteristics of Tokyo when reading the script for "Money Heist: Korea."
"It wasn't easy for me to portray the newly-created character and make my own point there," she said. "But this is not a show led only by Tokyo. So I focused more on creating the on-screen ensemble of the entire cast."
Released last Friday, the Korean version of Spain's "Money Heist" debuted at No. 1 on the streamer's latest weekly viewership chart of non-English TV shows. It had also placed second on a daily global chart for TV programs on Netflix released by streaming analytics company FlixPatrol as of Wednesday.
Jeon, who also starred in Hollywood film "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon" (2021), thanked global audiences for the popularity of her first TV series and said she tries to remain aloof from reviews or viewership ratings every time she appears in a film or TV series.
"I'm not bothered by such responses or successive runs of my shows," she said. "I just want to star in films or TV shows that many people love."

Lewis Hamilton looking forward to ‘homecoming’ as Mercedes’ F1 legend prepares for British Grand Prix this weekend
LEWIS HAMILTON is ready for the British Grand Prix this weekend, despite a difficult week.
On the F1 driver's Instagram he posted two pictures from his previous wins at the race alongside the caption: "Homecoming. See you soon Silverstone."
Hamilton has a fantastic record at the British Grand Prix winning the last three but the build-up to his home race has been marred by comments made by Nelson Piquet.
The Brazilian former F1 driver used a racist term when talking about Hamilton in an interview.
Fans have come to the seven-time world champion's support, fans online said: "We are behind you all the way."
Another stated: "We love you so much, Lewis. Always standing by your side."
Support continued ahead of Sunday's race: "There is a lot of love for you in every corner of the Earth. It's hammer time. Bring it home Lew."
Meanwhile, much attention is still focused on Piquet and the response from the likes of Red Bul.
There here have been calls for the 69-year-old to be banned from the paddock and F1 icon Damon Hill demanded punishment.
Piquet has apologised and insisted he did not intend for the remarks to be racist.

On Twitter, Hamilton said in response: "It’s more than language.
"These are archaic mindsets need to change and have no place in our sport.
"Time has come for action."
It's been a season full of challenges for Hamilton who sits sixth in the standings.
He has not won a race this campaign and made the podium just twice.
This is down to problems with his car and the 'bouncing' his Mercedes does when going along the straights that have caused Hamilton severe back pain. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/9088054/lewis-hamilton-homecoming-silverstone-british-grand-prix/ | 2022-06-30T10:14:22Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/9088054/lewis-hamilton-homecoming-silverstone-british-grand-prix/ | true | 3 |

Lucy Renshall, who is in her first year of her studies at the University of Wolverhampton’s School of Sport, has moved to the top of the women's -63kg world rankings following an array of impressive performances over the past year.
The 26-year-old student secured her first Grand Slam title in Antalya in April last year, which helped secure her place on Team GB for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Following the Tokyo 2020 Games, a silver medal at the Paris Grand Slam and two further gold medals at the Baku and Abu Dhabi Grand Slam rounded off a fantastic end to the 2021 season.
Having started 2022 with a fifth place finish in Paris, Lucy was also able to retain her Antalya Grand Slam title, this April.
Originally from St Helens, Lucy moved to the West Midlands in 2013 to pursue her Judo career at the ‘Home of British Judo’ at the university’s Walsall campus.
Lucy says that the location of the British Judo Centre attracted her to study her degree at the University of Wolverhampton.
Alongside her studies, Lucy is also a WLV Sport Scholar, representing WLV Sport as she competes in judo championships and competitions across the world.
Lucy, who is currently in her first year studying BA (Hons) physical education and school sport said: “It was a goal of mine to be named ‘number one’ by the end of the year, so to have hit my target at just six months in, was such an incredible feeling.
“I was super excited when I heard the news, it was a relief but also really motivating for me to keep going and to know if you keep working hard - your goals and dreams really can come true.”
Natalie Gould, BUCS sport coordinator at the University of Wolverhampton said: “We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication Lucy has shown to achieve the world number one ranking.
“As a WLV Sport Scholar, she has been in integral part of the judo club, and we are looking forward to seeing what else she will achieve in her academics and judo career.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/06/30/wolverhampton-university-sports-student-ranks-world-number-one-for-judo/ | 2022-06-30T10:19:48Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/06/30/wolverhampton-university-sports-student-ranks-world-number-one-for-judo/ | true | 1 |

Narendra Modi on Government's Digital India Vision
Narendra Modi on Government's Digital India Vision
Bengaluru (Karnataka): The government is working towards providing high-speed internet to every village, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday while urging the world to make use of the opportunities in the digital and technology space and invest in India. Calling the present times an era of technology and underlining the benefits of technology as demonstrated during the time of the pandemic, he said it is important to invest even further in technology and innovation.
The Prime Minister was inaugurating the new 'smart' campus of Bosch India, a leading supplier of technology and services via video message. Modi said India is among the fastest-growing major economies, and investments have picked up in the last two years. Thanks to our youth, our start-up ecosystem is among the biggest in the world. In the tech world itself there are so many opportunities," he said.
The Prime Minister said that the government's vision of a Digital India includes integrating technology with every aspect of government. "I would urge the world to make use of these opportunities and invest in our nation," he said. The Prime Minister congratulated Bosch India on completing 100 years of its presence in India and noted the special significance of the event falling in the 75th year of India's Independence.
This (new smart) campus will certainly take the lead in developing futuristic products and solutions for India and for the world, the Prime Minister said, recalling his October 2015 visit to the Bosch facility here with the then German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Praising Bosch's work for innovation and scale, he highlighted the need for sustainability. India's growth is becoming greener with the installed capacity of solar energy increasing nearly 20 times in the last 8 years", Modi said and lauded Bosch's feat of achieving carbon-neutrality in both India and outside.

The Prime Minister urged Bosch to think of doing even more in India. Set goals for the coming 25 years of what your team can do. 100 years ago, Bosch came to India as a German company. But today, it is as much Indian as it is German. It is a great example of German engineering and Indian energy. This partnership will continue to grow stronger, he said.
Bosch India said it is expanding its AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) activities in India by transforming its headquarters in Adugodi here into a new smart campus called Spark.NXT. Over the last five years, Bosch said it has made an investment of Rs 800 crore in developing the campus, which has the capacity to potentially house 10,000 associates.
"The 76-acre site is Bosch's first smart campus in India and features multiple smart solutions based on sustainability, security, and user experience for associates, visitors, and facility management," the statement said. "The Spark.NXT campus will provide inspiring working conditions for associates to focus on the development of user-centric innovations for a better quality of life in India," said Filiz Albrecht, member of the board of management and director of Industrial Relations at Robert Bosch GmbH.
Soumitra Bhattacharya, managing director of Bosch Limited and president of the Bosch Group, India, said: "With our new Spark.NXT campus, the company continues to invest in smart and sustainable solutions that are 'Invented for life' and supports the government's vision for an Atmanirbhar Bharat."

Brian Link was fired up.
You could hear it in the East Chapel Hill social studies teacher’s voice Wednesday as he discussed Leandro, the state’s long-running school funding lawsuit.
For more than 25-plus years, Link said, members of the General Assembly from both parties have continually failed to follow the North Carolina Constitution, which requires the state to provide its children with sound basic education.
“Members of both parties have found it easier to do what some of the leaders said is happening in other areas of the budget, just kick the can down the road,” said Link, a member of N.C. Association of Educator’s board of directors.
Link made his comments during a press conference held in front of the Legislative Building in downtown Raleigh. The event was staged by Communities for the Education of Every Child NC as part of its “Leandro Advocacy Day.”
The group, which includes the NC Justice Center, planned visits with lawmakers and lunch at John Chavis Park later in the day. Policy Watch is a project of the Justice Center.
Link criticized state budget adjustments lawmakers revealed Tuesday because they don’t include money to fully fund the Leandro Comprehensive Remedial Plan. At issue for him, was nearly $800 million Superior Court Judge Michael Robinson said the state owes the public schools to meet its Leandro obligation this year.
“By all accounts, the budget revealed yesterday still falls hundreds of millions of dollars short of the required threshold spending set forth by Leandro just for the upcoming year,” Link said.
A Justice Center analysis shows a $443.1 million shortfall between the Leandro spending plan for 2022-23 and the budget proposal released by lawmakers Tuesday.
Leandro v. State of North Carolina was brought in 1994 by five school districts in low-wealth counties that argued their districts did not have enough money to provide children a quality education.
In 1997, the state Supreme Court issued a ruling, later reconfirmed in 2004, in which it held that every child has a right to a “sound basic education” that includes competent and well-trained teachers and principals and equitable access to resources.
The case is going back to court. The North Carolina Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for the week of Aug. 29 to determine whether the state can be forced to fork over an additional $785 million to public schools.
Gayle Headen, executive director of Wake County Smart Start, said early childhood education has been woefully underfunded in North Carolina. She said there’s a severe early childhood teacher shortage as a result.
“The shortage of qualified teachers has grown much worse during the pandemic and is now a full-blown crisis,” Headen said. “Classrooms are empty because there aren’t teachers to hire.”
Deborah Maxwell, president of the North Carolina State Conference of Branches of the NAACP, said that all students in urban centers and rural communities are entitled to sound basic education.
“Your education should not be dictated by where you live, or as we say, by your zip code,” Maxwell said. “It should be dictated by the fact that you live within the state of North Carolina.”
Maxwell noted that the state has one of the nation’s leading systems of higher education and the second-highest number of historically black colleges and universities.
However, the state’s system of public schools is “regressive” because districts are not funded equitably, Maxwell said.
“We cannot expect to have super, mega-companies come here when we cannot totally, properly across this state educate our students,” Maxwell said. “I should be able to take my grandchild and go from one county to another and know that the same level of services and treatment is available and affordable, but unfortunately it is not.”
Lliana Santillan, the executive director of El Pueblo, said lawmakers have spent too much time this year on divisive, “unnecessary” issues, such as House Bill 755, which would ban instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in Kindergarten through third grade.
Santillan said that “the time and energy that our legislators have spent on harmful bills such as HB 755, North Carolina’s ‘Don’t say gay bill,’ would be better spent on improving children’s access to high-quality education. | https://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2022/06/30/leandro-advocates-urge-lawmakers-to-focus-on-funding-for-sound-basic-education/ | 2022-06-30T10:41:49Z | https://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2022/06/30/leandro-advocates-urge-lawmakers-to-focus-on-funding-for-sound-basic-education/ | true | 1 |

Members of Middle Tennessee’s LGBTQ community, friends and supporters gathered Saturday and Sunday in Nashville to celebrate Pride Nashville.
The event came just a day after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 law legalizing abortion at the federal level, and has raised concerns the court could overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. Obergefell was the June 2015 ruling that legalized same sex marriage across the country.
But for the weekend, thousands turned out for a parade down Nashville’s Lower Broadway entertainment district and for a two-day festival at Nashville’s Bicentennial Mall.

The Chairman, NUJ, FCT Chapter, Mr Emmanuel Ogbeche, made the call on Wednesday at the Journalists for Disability Inclusion, (J4DI), stakeholders meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.
CVR: NUJ urges INEC to create special centres for persons with disabilities
The Nigerian Union of Journalists, (NUJ), has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), to create special Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), centres for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), for an enhanced inclusion.
Ogbeche, who was also the national coordinator, J4DI, said that the call was necessary because of the mass number of people at the registration centres, which put PWDs at a disadvantaged position.
“There is a need for special centres or designated points within the existing centres exclusively for PWDs.
“This is because talking about 2023, we want inclusion and if you look at the INEC data, there is the possibility that there are more persons with disabilities that have not been able to register, giving the shunting, the pushing and the distance.
“So we are making an appeal to INEC to consider setting special points exclusively for PWDs,’’ he said.
The chairman also expressed worry that most of the buildings of financial institutions in Abuja, especially those of banks, were not disability inclusive as they had no ramps, but only staircases with no support system for PWDs.
He said that it was high time journalists worked to enhance the inclusion of PWDs by, firstly, understanding the Disabilities Act, and other policies regarding disability.
He added that there was the need for media practitioners to have a foundation workshop in order to come to terms with certain nomenclature on PWDs .
“A basic understanding will help us build capacity in reporting effectively and to become agents of change,” he said.
President and Founder of the Albino Foundation, Jake Epelle commended the journalists for the J4DI initiating saying that had written their names in the sands of time by becoming the first entity to focus on PWDs issues.
“We are so proud of all of the work that many of you have done to see that history has suddenly become a reality, but a lot more has to be done.
“Please leverage on the platforms that we have created, access that we have been able to create, partners and very high profile individuals that we know to push the work further.
“ Prepare yourself, get ready, and get on with the job, a lot more has to be done to project what you do, many of your media houses need to ensure that you give visibility to this worthy cause,” he said.
Epelle called on J4DI to create an advocacy group to visit some prominent offices to seek support for the cause of PWDs in Nigeria.
Also, Ms Ladi Bala, the President, Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, (NAWOJ), congratulated the journalists for putting up such a group to beam the searchlight on the plight of PWDs in Nigeria .
Bala urged J4DI to bring more people on board in order to enlighten the public on PWD inclusion and the need to dispel stigmatisation among others.
She called on the journalists to build their capacities and be abreast with issues around PWDs in order to report them better.
“We need to understand the issues because when we do not understand these issues, we will not be able to fly with it very well.
“You cannot give what you do not have, so we need to understand the Disabilities Act, understand the issues around disabilities, and package it in such a manner that we dispel stigmatisation,’’ she said.
Similarly, Mr Patrick Osadebamwen, the secretary of J4DI, said that the group was created following a dream of having a voice that would promote inclusion across the board.
“The group would also advance the issues of the girl with disability in Abasima, the Bole woman by the roadside and all that concerns J4D1.
“These would be explored by engaging experts, acquainting ourselves with the law and effective utilisation of the media. All these would be followed through as a responsibility, not a favour,” he said.

Which ceiling light is best?
Changing up lighting is one of the easiest ways to alter the ambiance of a space. Ceiling lights are popular among consumers because they’re affordable and energy efficient, but with so many options, finding the right one for your home can be a daunting prospect.
The Lithonia Lighting White LED Wraparound Flushmount is a great choice because it’s easy to install and provides at least 50,000 hours of bright LED light.
What to know before you buy a ceiling light
Purpose
The first thing to consider when shopping for a ceiling light is how you intend to use it. Do you need a light for an efficient home office or a comfortable living room? Lighting can have a significant impact on both relaxation and productivity, so think about the following three types of lighting before making a selection. For more information, check out the complete ceiling light buying guide from BestReviews.
Ambient: This type of lighting provides uniform illumination throughout an entire room. Ambient lighting is usually rather warm and nondirectional, so many people like to combine it with other light sources to personalize the ambiance of their space.
Task: Usually found in a kitchen or home office, task lighting provides targeted illumination on a particular space like a desk or a stovetop.
Accent: Similar to task lighting, accent lighting highlights decor like a bookshelf or painting. Accent lighting is only occasionally found in the form of a ceiling light.
Mounts
You can mount ceiling lights in a variety of ways, depending on your design preference and the intended surface area.
Flush and semi-flush: Flush lights only extend a few inches from the ceiling. Semi-flush lights suspend a little more, usually about 6 to 8 inches from the ceiling. Flush mounts are ideal for ceilings less than 8 feet high, while semi-flush mounts are better suited for rooms with particularly high ceilings. Flush and semi-flush mounts are typically used for ambient lighting.
Recessed: These lights mount inside the ceiling itself, so they’re particularly suited for small rooms with low ceilings. Installation is usually costly and complex, so expect to pay more for this type of mount. Recessed mounts are perfect for task lighting and often found in kitchens or workshops.
Hanging: Usually found in the form of a chandelier or pendant, these lights are often stylish or highly decorative and serve as statement pieces in a room. Hanging lights are perfect for task lighting and usually combine with one or two other light sources.
Track: Almost exclusively used for accent lighting, track mounts appear as multiple lights built into a track that runs along the ceiling. The direction that these lights point is usually adjustable to highlight certain items on the wall.
What to look for in a quality ceiling light
Adjustability
If you plan to use a space for a variety of activities, consider a dimmable ceiling light. This feature lets you adjust a room’s illumination with a dial or slider. Since dim lights use less electricity, this kind of ceiling light can also save you money on your power bill.
Motion sensor
Some models come with a motion sensor feature. These lights turn on automatically when they detect movement in the room, making them perfect for a bathroom or basement. You may also want the motion sensor feature for home security purposes.
Certifications
You might come across a ceiling light that has an Underwriters Laboratories or Energy Star certification. These indicate that the product was manufactured to the highest safety and energy-efficient standards. UL tests the safety of consumer products, while Energy Star-certified ceiling lights are guaranteed to use less electricity than other light fixtures.
How much you can expect to spend on a ceiling light
The cost of a ceiling light can vary dramatically depending on the installation, size and type of fixture. You can expect to pay between $20-$150 for a midrange ceiling light.
Ceiling light FAQ
Why is my ceiling light flickering?
A. Flickering usually indicates that something is loose. Try tightening the light bulb or replacing it with an LED light bulb.
What are lumens?
A. A lumen is a unit of measurement used to determine the brightness of a light. Most rooms require 10-20 lumens per square foot.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday launched a $1 billion first-of-its-kind pilot program aimed at helping reconnect cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by road projects, pledging wide-ranging help to dozens of communities despite the program’s limited dollars.
Under the Reconnecting Communities program, cities and states can now apply for the federal aid over five years to rectify harm caused by roadways that were built primarily through lower-income, Black communities after the 1950s creation of the interstate highway system.
New projects could include rapid bus transit lines to link disadvantaged neighborhoods to jobs; caps built on top of highways featuring green spaces, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways to allow for safe crossings over the roadways; repurposing former rail lines; and partial removal of highways.
Still, the grants, being made available under President Joe Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure law, are considerably less than the $20 billion the Democratic president originally envisioned. Advocacy groups say the money isn’t nearly enough to have a major impact on capital construction for more than 50 citizen-led efforts nationwide aimed at dismantling or redesigning highways — from Portland, Oregon, to New Orleans; St. Paul, Minnesota; Houston; Tampa, Florida; and Syracuse, New York. Meanwhile, some Republicans, including possible 2024 presidential contender Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have derided the effort as the “woke-ification” of federal policy, suggesting political crosswinds ahead in an election season.
“Transportation can connect us to jobs, services and loved ones, but we‘ve also seen countless cases around the country where a piece of infrastructure cuts off a neighborhood or a community because of how it was built,” said Buttigieg, who was announcing the pilot program later Thursday in Birmingham, Alabama. He described Reconnecting Communities as a broad department “principle” — not just a program — to address the issue with many efforts underway.
“This is a forward-looking vision,” Buttigieg said. “Our focus isn’t about assigning blame. It isn’t about getting caught up in guilt. It’s about fixing a problem. It’s about mending what has been broken, especially when the damage was done with taxpayer dollars.”
The Transportation Department has aimed to help communities that feel racially harmed by highway expansions, with the Federal Highway Administration last year taking a rare step to pause a proposed $9 billion widening project in Houston, partly over civil rights concerns. That move likely spurred action in other places such as Austin, Texas, where environmental and racial justice groups recently filed a lawsuit to force the Texas transportation agency to better lay out the impacts of a proposed highway expansion there.
Buttigieg drew fire from some Republicans earlier this year when he said the federal government had an obligation to address the harms of racist design in highways. “There’s trees they’re putting in, they’re saying that highways are racially discriminatory. I don’t know how a road can be that," DeSantis said in February, dismissing it as “woke.”
Under the program, $195 million in competitive grants is to be awarded this year, of which $50 million will be devoted for communities to conduct planning studies.
The department will also launch a “Thriving Communities” initiative to provide technical support for potential projects that serve disadvantaged communities alongside the Housing and Urban Development Department.
The Transportation Department has previously estimated it could help as many as 20 U.S. communities under the new program to remove portions of interstates and redesign streets by tapping into other transportation funds. According to the department, communities that win the Reconnecting Communities grants but still need additional funds will be prioritized in their applications for other pots of federal transportation money. Dozens more communities could derive benefit from the planning grants.
“Prior to 2021, the idea that we would deal with highway infrastructure that has divided communities was very much a fringe idea," said Ben Crowther, coordinator for the Boston-based Freeway Fighters Network, which is supported by the Congress for the New Urbanism. “The Biden administration has really transformed that into mainstream thinking. We are thinking now this is something that is possible — that you can remove a highway and instead build safe streets that are walkable, add housing and address other community needs besides travel time.” | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Buttigieg-launches-1B-pilot-to-build-racial-17276039.php | 2022-06-30T10:46:44Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Buttigieg-launches-1B-pilot-to-build-racial-17276039.php | false | 34 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The new head of the government’s road safety agency says it will intensify efforts to understand the risks posed by automated vehicle technology so it can decide what regulations may be necessary to protect drivers, passengers and pedestrians.
In an interview Wednesday, Steven Cliff, who was confirmed last month as head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said the agency is assessing crash data recently reported by automakers and tech companies.
Any new regulations NHTSA may impose would fill what critics say is an urgent need to address the growing use of driver-assistance systems on U.S. roads. The systems have been linked to crashes involving deaths and serious injuries, though they also have enormous potential to prevent crashes. There are no federal regulations that directly cover either self-driving vehicles or those with partially automated driver-assist systems such as Tesla’s Autopilot.
Before developing any new federal standards, Cliff said, NHTSA wants to better understand how the new technology should perform.
Cliff spoke Wednesday to The Associated Press in his first on-the-record interview since being confirmed by the Senate.
He said that when he first joined the agency in February 2021, he was surprised to discover that NHTSA had no data on automated vehicle crashes. As a result, Cliff said, he challenged the agency to require such reporting. Last month, NHTSA released data from July 2021 to May, concluding that automated vehicles were involved in nearly 400 crashes.
Cliff cautioned that while he believes federal standards are needed to regulate driver assisted technology, he wants to avoid rushing to embrace new rules that might potentially end up compromising safety.
“Any time we put a regulation on the books, we have to define not only what standard that technology needs to be held to, but we need to have an objective way to measure the performance of the system to ensure that it actually complies with the regulation,” he said from his office at the Department of Transportation’s headquarters in Washington.
The agency, Cliff said, is also working on performance standards for automatic emergency braking, which it plans to require on all new passenger vehicles and heavy trucks. The braking systems, which can detect and stop for pedestrians, other vehicles and obstacles, show great potential to help stem rising traffic deaths in the U.S., he said.
NHTSA, he said, will set metrics for how the braking systems detect objects to ensure that the systems respond appropriately.
“That’s part of any of the standards that we put in place,” he said.
Cliff declined to discuss any details of regulations that might be forthcoming.
“It’s important for us to take the data that comes from those incidents, better understand it in an engineering context,” he said. “I think it’s important to move quickly but not so fast that we’re getting it wrong.”
Of the nearly 400 crashes that were reported by manufacturers, Teslas were involved in more than all other automakers combined. But Cliff noted that Tesla has driver-assist technology operating on nearly all of its roughly 830,000 vehicles on U.S. roads, which makes neat comparisons to other automakers difficult. The company also provides nearly instantaneous wireless reporting of crashes, so it receives data faster than other automakers.
Since Cliff’s arrival, the agency has stepped up enforcement efforts aimed at Tesla, including a push for a dozen recalls since the start of 2021. The agency is investigating why Teslas working on Autopilot seem to crash into emergency vehicles parked along freeways. And it has received more than 750 consumer complaints involving Teslas braking unexpectedly for no apparent reason.
At the same time, Cliff added, Tesla has been cooperative with NHTSA since his arrival at the agency.
“I think we work well with them,” he said, “and when we have identified that there are risks, they’ve taken action, and that’s appropriate.”
Cliff, 52, whose background is in chemistry and air pollution regulation with little auto safety experience, takes over the agency at a critical time. NHTSA has estimated that nearly 43,000 people were killed on U.S. roads last year, the highest such figure in 16 years.
Safety advocates say NHTSA has become more aggressive in regulating automakers since Cliff’s arrival from the California Air Resources Board, the state’s pollution regulator. Cliff, who first joined the California board in 2008 as an air pollution specialist, rose to become its deputy executive officer. Years earlier, he received a bachelor’s degree and doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego.
He concedes that he has had to become a quick study on auto safety. But he said that assessing the science and the data is similar to the work he did in California.
In December, Cliff told the Senate Commerce Committee that he would work to adopt regulations such as those urging seat belt use, and would implement mandates under the new federal infrastructure law to reduce drunken driving.
He said he believes that automatic emergency braking in new vehicles should help reduce fatalities and that the agency will take a “safe systems approach” to stem the deaths. Those approaches could include roadway design and reductions in speed limits.
In addition, he said, NHTSA is trying to understand why Black Americans die in crashes at a greater rate than other groups.
“In some cases,” Cliff said, “a lot of that has to do with infrastructure, but also the vehicles themselves. So improving the new vehicle fleet is part of the solution, but it’s also important that we educate drivers.” | https://www.news10.com/business/ap-business/new-nhtsa-chief-agency-to-scrutinize-auto-driver-technology/ | 2022-06-30T10:46:55Z | https://www.news10.com/business/ap-business/new-nhtsa-chief-agency-to-scrutinize-auto-driver-technology/ | true | 33 |
Channel 5 is to launch an exhilarating new series, Dinosaur – with Stephen Fry.
The series will be presented in a four-day landmark event by the actor, writer, and dinosaur enthusiast, Fry. Dinosaur- with Stephen Fry will chronologically tell the definitive story of 165 million years on earth – from the dawn of the dinosaurs to their extinction.
Stephen Fry:
“Dinosaurs have always been a passion of mine, so I jumped at the opportunity to lend my excitement and curiosity to immerse audiences back in time 250 million years. The attention to detail and technology in this series allows us to really delve deep in to some exciting new scientific discoveries about these majestic creatures. It is exciting to be working with Mentorn and Dock10 to bring this world to life, and Channel 5 for the very first time, as their factual landmarks are known for cutting through and resonating with new audiences across the UK”.
The ground-breaking series will run across four-episodes to air on Channel 5 in hour-long slots. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in a new and magical Dinosaur World, constructed with help from CGI experts, and scientists from the Natural History Museum.
Working with specialist Manchester-based production studio Dock10, who previously designed virtual studios for the Tokyo Olympics, the series will be anchored in a specially created space that allows the complete freedom to roam around an accurate representation of a prehistoric environment. Breaking new boundaries on Channel 5, the cutting-edge technology from Dock10 has mainly been used in sport, but will now be fully realised in factual television for the very first time.
Based on the latest research, Dock10 has designed incredibly accurate dinosaur species to populate the Dinosaur World. Each creature is brought to life by behind-the-scenes animators to move, walk, hunt and roar – like a dinosaur safari, audiences will see the creatures magically roving around. As Stephen gets up close with the awe-inspiring creatures, he will entertainingly inform audiences about each one, revealing interesting specialist factual content along the way. Stephen will take viewers on a journey through different prehistoric eras, highlighting iconic dinosaurs and uncovering new scientific discoveries.
Experts will also step into this photorealistic environment, tracking down dinosaurs across the landscape to reveal the secrets of the prehistoric world. Every episode will be packed with illuminating footage where Stephen, as well as an assorted cast of experts, will bring insights from the most fascinating dinosaur places in the UK. Also featured in every episode is our specially created DinoLab where through MythBusters-style experiments engineers will answer questions such as ‘how powerful was a T-rex bite?’, and did the raptors really have sharp claws that could disembowel prey?
Commissioning Editor, [Factual], Channel 5 & P+ Guy Davies:
“We are thrilled to be working with Stephen on such a ground-breaking series. Dinosaur offers everything audiences have always wanted to know in one entertaining and information packed TV event. It will be specialist factual content, but with an accessible and entertaining twist, using cutting-edge technology to really immerse the viewers in the magical and awe-inspiring world of the dinosaurs.” | https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/204211-ch5/ | 2022-06-30T10:47:25Z | https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/204211-ch5/ | true | 1 |

SINGAPORE - Residents in Tengah town will have access to various electrified Toyota models through a car-sharing pilot between Toyota distributor Borneo Motors and energy provider SP Group.
The announcement was made at a signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding between the two parties on Thursday (June 30).
When launched in June next year, the cars can be booked through the SP smartphone app or the Kinto Share app operated by Borneo Motors.
This will be the first time that users of SP Group's services can hire a car through its smartphone app.
Ms Jasmine Wong, the chief executive of Inchcape Singapore and Greater China, which owns Borneo Motors, said: "With this initiative, we combine our expertise in electrified vehicles with SP Group's eco-charging solutions to embark on a significant step in steering the nation towards a more responsible and sustainable way of living."
In addition, Borneo Motors and SP Group will set up an innovation and experience centre in the housing estate to help Tengah residents learn about sustainable mobility solutions.
Borneo Motors launched Kinto Share last year for its on-demand car-sharing service with Lexus models. On its website, prices for daily rental start from $198.
The collaboration with SP Group will see the vehicles being parked at dedicated carparks in the Tengah township. The exact details are still being worked out.
This is the first time Kinto Share will serve a housing estate.
Currently, users of the car-sharing service pick up the vehicles from the Lexus Boutique in Leng Kee Road. They can also pay for doorstep delivery and retrieval.
SP Group and Borneo Motors are also conducting joint research in electrification, focusing on areas such as user behaviour and vehicle energy consumption, to further develop their future electric mobility programmes.
The pilot, which runs for five years, will initially have eight Toyota models, seven of which are hybrids that do not require access to an EV charger. The eighth is the bZ4X, the Japanese car brand's first fully-electric vehicle, which will be officially launched in Singapore by then.
A plug-in hybrid model is said to be in the pipeline.
To encourage take-up, Tengah residents will be offered preferential rates for both the car rental and EV charging.
Located in the western part of Singapore, Tengah consists of five districts with 42,000 residential units.
Touted as a "smart-energy town", it features EV-ready carparks. Solar panels located on the top of residential blocks supply the needed electricity to power selected parking lots with EV chargers. | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/tengah-residents-to-get-first-dedicated-car-sharing-service-from-june-next-year | 2022-06-30T10:47:50Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/tengah-residents-to-get-first-dedicated-car-sharing-service-from-june-next-year | false | 1 |
KYIV (REUTERS) - Russian forces have withdrawn from Ukraine's Snake Island, a strategic outpost in the Black Sea, Russia's defence ministry and Ukraine's president's office said on Thursday (June 30).
"KABOOM! No Russian troops on the Snake Island anymore. Our Armed Forces did a great job," Andriy Yermak, head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office, wrote on Twitter.
Russia's defence ministry confirmed Russian troops had withdrawn from Snake Island, calling it a "goodwill gesture" and saying the troops had fulfilled the tasks assigned to them.
The Russian ministry added the move showed Russia was not impeding UN efforts to organise a humanitarian corridor to export agricultural products out of Ukraine.
Snake Island, which Russia occupied on the first day of its invasion, achieved fame when Ukrainian border guards stationed there rejected a Russian warship's demand for their surrender.
Ukraine's southern military command wrote on Facebook that following a successful operation involving missile and artillery units, Russian forces had evacuated from Snake Island in two boats.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the Ukrainian and Russian accounts. | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/russian-forces-withdraw-from-black-seas-strategic-snake-island | 2022-06-30T10:49:34Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/russian-forces-withdraw-from-black-seas-strategic-snake-island | false | 6 |
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts’ Jewish community is on edge after the launch this month of a mysterious pro-Palestine website listing the names and addresses of scores of local institutions — a number of them Jewish — and making calls to “dismantle” and disrupt them.
The Mapping Project is an interactive map of Massachusetts that lists nearly 500 local colleges, police departments, companies and nonprofits, and accuses them of complicity in a range of “harms,” from ethnic cleansing to colonialism, “surveillance” and Zionism, or Jewish nationalism.
The list includes some of the state’s most globally recognized institutions, from Harvard and MIT to Raytheon, General Electric, Moderna and Fidelity Investments.
But dozens of smaller Jewish organizations are also named, including Gann Academy, a Jewish high school in suburban Boston, and New England Yachad, the regional branch of a national organization for Jewish people with disabilities.
Jewish advocates complain many of the non-Jewish organizations appear to have made the cut simply because of their ties to Jewish groups.
“Jewish institutions are like the pin in the middle of the map, and everything spreads from there,” said Robert Trestan, head of the New England office of the Anti-Defamation League, speaking during an online briefing Wednesday highlighting concerns about the site.
The ADL, a group that opposes Jewish discrimination and bigotry, is among those named on the Mapping Project.
“It plays into this trope that powerful and wealthy Jews are inordinately influencing global affairs,” added Justin Finkelstein, an extremism expert with ADL, noting that 30 of the 38 non-government organizations named on the site are Jewish.
U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins, of Massachusetts, who was also among the event’s speakers, promised to speak with the FBI about whether the site crosses the line from free speech to being dangerous and criminal.
“This language is dangerous for sure,” she said. “We need to see what we can do to root this out.”
Last week, a bipartisan group of 37 members of Congress called on the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to investigate, provide “enhanced security” for organizations listed on the website and to work with social media companies and internet service providers to prevent further distribution of the site.
“We must not turn a blind eye to this incitement,” wrote U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, and other lawmakers.
Spokespersons for the FBI and other federal agencies have declined to comment, as have the site’s creators.
But in a statement posted on the website, the creators maintain it simply illustrates the ways in which “institutional support for the colonization of Palestine” is tied to “policing and systemic white supremacy,” as well as “US imperialist projects” and other injustices.
“Our goal in pursuing this collective mapping was to reveal the local entities and networks that enact devastation, so we can dismantle them,” the statement reads. “Every entity has an address, every network can be disrupted.”
Internet company GoDaddy, where the website’s domain name is registered, reviewed the website and concluded it didn’t violate its domain name registration agreement, spokesperson Nick Fuller said in a statement.
The 1984 Hosting Co., of Reykjavík, Iceland, which is hosting the site, said in an email that it facilitates freedom of speech but doesn’t “host those who advocate violence, terror, suppression or hatred.” The company declined to comment when asked specifically about the concerns from the Jewish community.
Local Jewish leaders say the website’s launch comes as antisemitism rises in New England.
More than 100 antisemitic incidents such as vandalism, harassment and assault were recorded in Massachusetts last year, up 48% from the prior year, according to the ADL’s annual report. The incidents are up more than 40% overall in New England, excluding Connecticut, according to the report.
Among last year’s incidents in Massachusetts was the stabbing of a rabbi near a Jewish day school in Boston and the Duxbury High School football team’s use of antisemitic terms in its play calling.
Jeremy Yamin, a vice president at Combined Jewish Philanthropies, a Boston nonprofit named on the Mapping Project, said local Jewish groups have been reaching out in recent days to see how they should respond.
He has been encouraging them not to overreact, but also make sure their security plans, equipment and staff training are up to date.
“We’re really focused on long-term preparation,” Yamin said. “This is serious, antisemitic speech, but it’s also part of a spectrum of issues we’ve been dealing with for some time.”
Rabbi Ron Fish, who has a son entering Gann Academy, said he’s confident the Waltham private school is taking the necessary precautions and won’t hesitate to send his son to classes when they resume in the fall.
“The targeting of children is horrific,” said Fish, also a director of antisemitism education and advocacy at ADL. “The Mapping Project was guilty of engaging in such an outrageous and dangerous act. But hiding is no answer.” | https://www.news10.com/news/national/pro-palestine-mapping-website-raises-alarm-in-jewish-groups/ | 2022-06-30T10:51:16Z | https://www.news10.com/news/national/pro-palestine-mapping-website-raises-alarm-in-jewish-groups/ | false | 31 |

Adds context
MILAN, June 30 (Reuters) - Advertising revenues in Italy for commercial broadcaster MediaForEurope (MFE) MFEA.MI, MFEB.MI will be only flat in the first six months of the year, the head of the group's advertising unit said.
Another executive had said last month that revenue was expected to be in positive territory in the first half. Mediaset has previously targeted growth of 1% for the year as a whole.
"We see the first half more or less flat, or something close to that," said Stefano Sala, chief executive of Publitalia.
Sala highlighted how the market in June did not perform as well as in the same month last year, when it benefited from advertising linked to the European soccer championship which Italy went on to win.
Sala added that MFE was satisfied with its deal with sports streaming service DAZN, for which it handles the advertising business connected with the Italy's Serie A soccer league.
"We are in excess of 80 million euros in revenues linked to Serie A," he added at an event held on Wednesday evening.

TEL AVIV, Israel, LONDON and NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Apiiro, the leader in Cloud-Native Application Security, today announced the expansion of its platform from code to runtime. Apiiro can now connect application risks in runtime back to the source code to proactively fix critical risks and reduce the remediation time by 90%.
The Cloud has transformed the way development teams design, develop, build, and deploy applications. Developers are moving fast, and the number of changes and releases is increasing exponentially, as are the risks.
In the era of cloud-native application development, the remediation lifecycle is getting longer and more complex because risks are distributed across design, code, open source, Infrastructure-as-Code, APIs, Source Control and CI/CD servers, as well as cloud infrastructure.
Fixing critical risks such as design flaws, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and architecture drifts early in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is essential for business growth. Yet, developers are not able to fix them because they don't have the necessary context and are constantly bombarded with noisy alerts and false positives from an overload of siloed tools across the Software Supply Chain.
Apiiro's patent pending technology is able to visualize the application architecture, connect any type of cloud-native application risk to a container image that is running in GCP, Azure and AWS via a simple API integration, and provide developer-first contextual remediation workflows.
The Log4Shell vulnerability has dramatically changed the CNAPP market. Customers with legacy SCA solutions have invested months of manual labor to prioritize code repositories with the highest risks to the business, map code to runtime and identify code owners who can fix the risks.
"Apiiro provides full visibility of a risk I have not had before. This is a unique capability I have not seen in any product I have tested, it helps identify the most critical risks and reduce the MTTR," said Roy Avrahamy, Senior Application Security Engineer.
Using the Apiiro Risk Graph, security teams and developers can understand the full context, export a comprehensive Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM), connect the dots between application risks that are running in their cloud environment to the source code and implement guardrails for proactive remediation.
"A year after winning the RSA Innovation Sandbox and being nominated by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in DevSecOps, the CNAPP market has evolved dramatically and we believe that innovation will always be the key for our success," said Idan Plotnik, co-founder and CEO of Apiiro. "The unique approach we are bringing to the CNAPP market allows security teams and developers to proactively remediate critical risks across the Software Supply Chain even faster."

Police say the incident happened on Lexington Avenue and East 95th Street around 8:25 p.m. Wednesday.
The 20-year-old victim was pushing a 3-month-old baby in a stroller when a man, wearing an all-black hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants, walked up from behind and shot the woman in the head at point-blank range.
A 10-year-old who witnessed the murder said it was a single gunshot.
"I just heard a huge noise. It was just one, but it was extremely loud, like, 'Boom!'" the child said. "I seen a lot of people running, and then I saw a few people. Like, I saw a woman down there, she fell. And at first, I thought, 'Is she ok?' And then I saw people calling 911 and cops pull up."
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died about an hour later.
The search continues for man who walked up behind a woman and shot and killed her while she was pushing a baby in a stroller. This is on 95th between Lexington and Third Ave on the Upper East Side. @nypdtips is asking for information. https://t.co/1i4PWolfzp pic.twitter.com/3mUlRrmgcP

Police say the baby was also rushed to the hospital but was unharmed.
The shooter fled the scene.
New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke at the scene of the incident after he spent the day addressing the proliferation of guns on city streets.
"When a mother is pushing a baby carriage down the block and is shot at point-blank range, it shows just how this national problem is impacting families," Adams said. "We are going to find this person that is guilty of this horrific crime. We are going to find him and bring him to justice."
No arrests have been made so far.
Police are asking for the public's help tracking down the shooter.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch flag carrier KLM announced Thursday it is repaying the last portion of loans it got from from the Netherlands government and banks to help it survive when the COVID-19 pandemic threw global aviation into a tailspin.
The carrier is paying back 277 million euros ($290 million) to the government, the last outstanding loan out of a total of 942 million euros. KLM earlier this year paid back the rest of the loans to banks.
The announcement came a before day CEO Pieter Elbers is to be replaced by Marjan Rintel and against a backdrop of weeks of backups and canceled flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport as the busy aviation hub struggles with staff shortages also blamed on the pandemic.
“KLM colleagues battled their way through the COVID19-crisis in 2020 and 2021. The current operational situation at Schiphol is also demanding and again asks a great deal of our people and our customers. I’d like to sincerely thank everyone at KLM for their huge efforts,” Elbers said.
KLM slashed its workforce and cut costs to survive the pandemic and has seen air travel rebound since travel restrictions were eased, allowing it to fully pay back loans.
However, the carrier warned it is not yet out of the woods, with high inflation, rising costs, the war in Ukraine and ongoing COVID-19 infections casting a shadow over the future.
“As a result, KLM has decided to retain access to future credit” totaling 2.4 billion euros from the government and banks, but added that “current forecasts show that KLM has sufficient financial resources available for the years ahead.”
Earlier this month, the chief of the Air France-KLM airline alliance said it would take weeks or months to get new security staff in place to lighten pressure on the Amsterdam airport, which has seen flight cancellations, damaging delays and big travel headaches as global air travel rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/KLM-pays-back-last-of-Dutch-government-pandemic-17276058.php | 2022-06-30T11:08:00Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/KLM-pays-back-last-of-Dutch-government-pandemic-17276058.php | false | 22 |
Sudan Gears Up For Mass Protest Against Generals
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published June 30, 2022 | 01:40 PM
Khartoum, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Jun, 2022 ) :Activists in Sudan have called for mass rallies Thursday to demand the reversal of an October military coup that prompted foreign governments to slash aid, deepening a chronic economic crisis.
The protests come on the anniversary of a previous coup in 1989, which toppled the country's last elected civilian government and ushered in three decades of iron-fisted rule by Islamist-backed general Omar al-Bashir.
They also come on the anniversary of 2019 protests demanding that the generals, who had ousted Bashir in a palace coup earlier that year, cede power to civilians.
Those protests led to the formation of the mixed civilian-military transitional government which was toppled in last year's coup.
Security was tight in the capital Khartoum on Thursday despite the recent lifting of a state of emergency imposed after the coup.
Troops and police blocked off roads leading to both army headquarters, the site of anti-Bashir protests in 2019, and the presidential palace, witnesses said.
Shops around the capital were largely shuttered.
An AFP correspondent said internet and phone lines had been disrupted since the early hours, a measure the Sudanese authorities often impose to prevent mass gatherings.
Sudan has been roiled by near-weekly protests as the country's economic woes have deepened since army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan seized power last year.
More than 100 people have been killed in protest-related violence, according to UN figures, as the military has cracked down on the anti-coup movement.
"June 30 is our way to bring down the coup and block the path of any fake alternatives," said the Forces for Freedom and Change, an alliance of civilian groups whose leaders were ousted in the coup.
Activists have called for "million-strong" rallies to mark the "earthquake of June 30".
Small-scale demonstrations took place in the run-up to call for a huge turnout on Thursday.
UN special representative Volker Perthes called on the security forces to exercise restraint.
"Violence against protesters will not tolerated," he said in a statement, adding that nobody should "give any opportunity to spoilers who want to escalate tensions in Sudan".
The foreign ministry criticised the UN envoy's comments, saying they were built on "assumptions" and "contradict his role as facilitator" in troubled talks on ending the political crisis.
Alongside the African Union and east African bloc IGAD, the United Nations has been attempting to broker talks between the generals and civilians, but they have been boycotted by all the main civilian factions.
The UN has warned that the deepening economic and political crisis pushed one third of the country's population of more than 40 million towards life-threatening food shortages.

"As our clients seek to expand their use of renewable biofuels, Lifecycle stands ready to support them. The investment from GEF Capital will help the company continue to scale to meet an increasingly diverse set of customers looking for solutions to meet their carbon emissions goals".
"Lifecycle Renewables falls squarely within our core investment theme of supporting companies that provide innovative climate change and pollution mitigation solutions" said Daniel Prawda, Managing Partner at GEF Capital who led the Lifecycle investment. "At a time when institutions are seeking strategies to attain Net Zero targets, Lifecycle provides an easy, low cost, low risk and highly effective step towards decarbonizing emissions tied to heating".
Catherine Lien, a Vice President at GEF Capital who co-led the investment in Lifecycle added: "We are very excited to partner with Lifecycle Renewables' management team to support the continued growth of the business and the further adoption of LR100™. As innovators of low-carbon fuel solutions, Lifecycle Renewables has developed the types of novel approaches to emissions reduction that are becoming increasingly critical to support the energy transition and combat climate change. We look forward to working with the Lifecycle team to expand these solutions to meet market demand."
Boenning & Scattergood served as exclusive financial advisor to Lifecycle Renewables and WindSail Capital Group, Lifecycle Renewables' financial partner since 2017.

AN adopted sports fan was stunned to discover his long-lost dad is a legendary US boxing commentator - making him sole heir to a £200million fortune.
Simon Edwards tracked down his extended birth family in Galway, Ireland, who told him his birth dad is American household name ‘The Colonel’ Bob Sheridan, 78.
Simon - who now refers to himself as Colonel Jnr - told how he contacted Bob via an agency the day the childless widower laid his wife to rest.
And Bob, famous for commentating on Muhammed Ali’s 1974 Rumble in the Jungle fight with George Foreman, in Zaire, knew instantly he was his son.
Since discovering his famous dad, stunned Simon has had messages of support from superstars Angelia Jolie and J-Lo.
The dad-of-two Simon, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, told SunSport: “I always dreamed of being reunited with my long lost father.
“As a boxing fan I knew exactly who he was, so it was fair to say it came as a pretty big shock. It’s just been so wonderful getting to know him.
“To other people it must seem amazing that this famous person is my dad, but for me it’s amazing to just know who my dad is and be in touch with him
“I’d probably still be as blown-away if he was a plumber from down the road.

“It’s so exciting to have all these plans to fly to America and meet him and make him part of my life.
“And of course it’s totally surreal to be getting messages from people like Angelina Jolie.
“But if I’m honest, I’ve managed to bag a place stewarding at Wembley for the European Championship - and I’m a bit worried all this might get in the way.”
He added: “My mum and dad here are over the moon - they’ve always said if I wanted to find them they would be behind me.”
Curious Simon tracked down his extended family to Galway and visited them in 2019 - sadly learning his birth-mum Rosemary Ruane, had died in 1985.
He was told the unmarried hotel manager was one of nine daughters from the same Catholic family and had travelled to London to give birth after falling pregnant.
Simon was born in Newham, London, in 1980 and put up for adoption through the Catholic Children’s Society.
He was placed with retired British Aerospace scientist Mike Edwards and former healthcare worker Sue, who he still considers to be 'his real parents'.
During his 2019 visit Simon’s new-found family revealed to him his dad was Bob, who was an Irish-American baseball player, who visiting his family’s land in Galway in 1979.
The Colonel’s family owned the land where Simon’s mum worked in a hotel and she befriended the US star before they had an affair.
Overjoyed Bob said: “I was lost for words when I was told, I have spent every day on the phone with Colonel Jnr.
“It has given me a new lease of life and I’m looking forward to the reunion with junior in Las Vegas later this year.
“I can’t wait to just have a beer with my son and getting to know him. I love him more than words express.”
Bob told SunSport: “I had just buried my wife.
"I was besides myself when the chaplain from my military regiment said to be ‘I know you feel cheated by the Lord, but remember he only gave his own son 33 years on this Earth.
“I got home and had a Guinness and I really felt like I had nothing left in my life.
“Then I got a call from an agency saying, ‘You have a 41-year-old son - and I said ‘are you sure?’
“They said all you have to do is see him once and you’ll know he’s your son. He looks just like you, he’s a great athlete like you.
“I was thinking, an hour ago I had nothing to live for - now I have a son.
“I asked how did this happen? Then I remembered this lovely girl I had been dating before I met my wife."
Sheridan explained: “She was the manager of the Shannon Shamrock hotel where I had my farm there.
“Rosie told me I could go into the hotel for whatever I needed, a shower, food - anything.
“I asked her what would she get out of it? And she said, ‘I want you’.
“It seemed like a simple request for the likes of me and we were lovers and that’s when Simon was conceived.”
The Colonel added: “The first time I spoke to him I knew he was my boy. He sounds like me, he talks the same way as me.
“My sports number was always six, Simon told me he played high level cricket and football and his number was always six.
“Even down to the number on our uniforms we were the same.
“It’s just been such a blessing, I can’t wait to meet him and take him to meet my brother’s family in Boston.
“I only wish my wife had lived to see our son.”
Sheridan is famous for his booming baritone and has called ringside action for over 10,000 fights, including nearly 1,000 world title bouts and 100 heavyweight title fights.
He is known as the Colonel because of his rank in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts.
The Colonel says the relationship has been confirmed by DNA, making him the 'only heir to my fortune'.
Simon, who also stewards at Lord's so he can be part of the cricket, has a day job as a senior credit controller. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/14383899/bob-sheridan-heir-steward-dad/ | 2022-06-30T11:14:54Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/14383899/bob-sheridan-heir-steward-dad/ | false | 4 |
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — The recurring cries of “Come on, Andy!” at Centre Court meandered somewhere along the continuum from pushing to pleading as two-time champion Andy Murray’s shortest stay at Wimbledon came to a close.
Unable to overcome big John Isner’s big serves, the way he always has in the past, the revered Murray lost in the second round to the 20th-seeded American 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (3), 6-4 on Wednesday night at the All England Club, capping a disappointing afternoon and evening in the grass-court Grand Slam tournament’s main stadium for the locals.
Prior to Murray vs. Isner, the host country’s other leading player, reigning U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu, was eliminated by Caroline Garcia of France 6-3, 6-3.
Asked whether he plans to be back a year from now, the 35-year-old Murray replied: “It depends on how I am physically. If physically I feel good, we’ll try to keep playing. But it’s extremely difficult, with the problems I’ve had with my body the last few years, to make predictions.”
Murray needed multiple operations on his hip and now has an artificial joint. He also recently dealt with an abdominal issue that hampered his preparations last week.
In addition to becoming Britain’s first men’s singles title winner in 77 years at Wimbledon when he claimed the trophy in 2013 — and adding another in 2016 — Murray always had managed to make it to at least the third round in his 13 prior appearances. He lost that early twice, in his 2005 debut and in 2021.
“It’s no secret that I am most definitely not a better tennis player than Andy Murray. I might have been just a little bit better than him today. It was an incredible honor to play him on this court, in front of this crowd,” said the 37-year-old Isner, who won the longest match in tennis history by a 70-68 score in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010 and reached the semifinals there in 2018. “At the age I’m at now, I need to relish these moments. This was one of the biggest wins of my career.”
Murray can still hit crisp, clean groundstrokes, and he accumulated merely 13 unforced errors to 39 winners against the 6-foot-10 (2.08-meter) Isner. And Murray can still return about as well as anyone, often getting serves topping 130 mph (210 kph) back over the net. But he could not quite do that enough: Isner hit 36 aces — moving him four away from Ivo Karlovic’s total of 13,728, a record since the ATP began tracking that stat in 1991 — and delivered another 60 unreturned serves across the match’s nearly 3 1/2 hours.
Murray, who entered the day 8-0 against Isner, only managed to obtain two break points. Both came after about a dozen minutes of play, right after Isner broke to go up 2-1 in the opening set.
Isner erased the first with a drop volley winner, part of a tremendous display of deft touch up at the net, where he won the point on 43 of 61 trips forward.
“This is why I still play,” Isner said. “This is why I work hard.”
When the second break chance for Murray arrived moments later, Isner got out of the game this way: 128 mph (206 kph) ace, 126 mph (203 kph) ace, 134 mph (216 kph) service winner.
Murray made things interesting by taking the third-set tiebreaker, celebrating by hopping around and shouting and pumping his right fist while the crowd rose and roared.
But Isner quickly broke to go up 3-2 in the fourth and that, essentially, was that.
How did Isner hold off any chance of a comeback by Murray?
“I served,” Isner said with a laugh. “That’s really all it came down to. I guess I didn’t give him many opportunities to spin his web and get me tangled up in it. If I got embroiled in too many rallies with him, it just wasn’t going to go well for me. I had an incredible serving day and I needed every single bit of it to beat him.”
Next for Isner is a third-round matchup against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner. Other men who won Wednesday included three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic and No. 5 Carlos Alcaraz, while No. 3 Casper Ruud — the runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the French Open — lost 3-6, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 to Ugo Humbert, and No. 15 Reilly Opelka was defeated by Tim Van Rijthoven 6-4, 6-7 (8), 7-6 (7), 7-6 (4).
Only four of the top 11 men in the ATP rankings are in the bracket after Day 3.
In addition to No. 10 Raducanu’s exit, No. 2 Anett Kontaveit lost to Juke Niemeier of Germany 6-4, 6-0, and No. 9 Garbiñe Muguruza, the champion at Wimbledon in 2017 and the French Open in 2016, was beaten by Greet Minnen 6-4, 6-0.
Women’s winners included 2021 runner-up Karolina Pliskova, No. 8 Jessica Pegula, three-time major champion Angelique Kerber and 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko.
Raducanu won the championship at Flushing Meadows in September as an unseeded player who went through qualifying at age 18.
Since then, she’s had a birthday — and has not made it past the second round at a major.
“There’s no pressure. Like, why is there any pressure? I’m still 19. Like, it’s a joke. I literally won a Slam,” Raducanu said. “Yes, I have had attention. But I’m a Slam champion, so no one’s going to take that away from me. Yeah, if anything, the pressure is on those who haven’t done that.”

After losing more than 80% of their value in less than a year, shares of DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU) are trading at a more sensible valuation than investors are used to seeing. Now that this high-growth stock has been pressed down to value stock prices it could be a good time to buy.
DocuSign's latest big fall was a response to a disappointing forward outlook the company shared with investors recently. On closer inspection, though, the company's long-term outlook is a lot better than its stock price performance suggests.
Let's weigh the good news against the bad to see if buying DocuSign stock at its new, more reasonable valuation makes sense right now.
Reasons to remain cautious
The company's CEO, Dan Springer, recently stepped down to make room for new leadership. The disappointing first-quarter earnings report he delivered a couple of weeks earlier pushed the stock about 25% lower in a single trading session.
Board Chairman Mary Agnes Wilderotter will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a new leader. Wilderotter spent over a decade at the helm of Frontier Communications. Unfortunately, we still don't know if her previous experience will help this company maintain its lead in the agreement services space.
When reporting first-quarter results, DocuSign had to walk back its forecast for sales to new customers plus subscription renewals, a metric the company refers to as billings. Instead of between $2.706 billion and $2.726 billion, the company expects billings to fall between $2.521 billion and $2.541 billion for its fiscal year that ends Jan. 31, 2023. Hitting the midpoint of this revised range would translate to a growth rate of just 3% year over year.
The slowdown could be caused by competition from a slew of small start-ups and a big contender. Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), the company that invented the portable document format (PDF), runs a competing e-signature service. Since Adobe's software subscriptions are a must-have for all manner of creative endeavors, getting these customers to choose DocuSign could become an uphill battle.
DocuSign shares have fallen hard, but they're still trading at around 36.6 times forward-looking earnings expectations. That's a reasonable multiple for a company with a double-digit growth rate, not one that's struggling. If the company flashes any more signs of stagnation ahead, this stock could tumble a lot further.
Reasons to buy DocuSign
Springer's abrupt departure is disturbing, but it tells us that DocuSign's board of directors is taking its corporate governance role seriously. The board didn't stop with Springer, either. A handful of new members on the executive team could help the company maintain its leading share of the market for agreement services.
While the stagnation we're seeing could be caused by competing services that keep popping up like dandelions, it could also be a case of pandemic pull forward. Businesses that weren't accustomed to working with clients at a distance had to scramble for solutions during the pandemic's early days. Now that most of us are back to business as usual, we probably should expect at least some of those businesses to cancel their subscriptions.
For many of DocuSign's customers, turning to a lower-priced competitor isn't worth the high switching costs that would follow. One of the brand's selling points is easy integration with software from Microsoft, Salesforce, and a growing list of vendors.
DocuSign generated $497 million in free cash flow over the past year. This means the company has the resources it needs to stay one step ahead of the competition.
A buy now?
The market for e-signature services hit an estimated $3 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $35 billion by 2029. Despite dozens of smaller competitors, DocuSign still has an 80% share of the market for e-signature services.
If DocuSign can retain even half of its present market share, its shareholders will come out way ahead in the long run. Instead of buying this volatile stock now, though, it's probably a good idea to wait a few quarters to make sure the company's reshuffled management team is up to the task.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York will ban people from carrying firearms into many places of business unless the owners put up a sign explicitly saying guns are welcome, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday.
The Democrat said she and legislative leaders have agreed on the broad strokes of a gun control bill that is poised to pass as soon as Thursday, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state’s handgun licensing law.
Because of the court’s ruling, ordinary New Yorkers will, for the first time in more than a century, be able to get a license to carry a gun outside the home for personal defense. Previously, it was hard to get an unrestricted handgun license unless you worked in law enforcement or security.
But Hochul said she also wanted to protect the rights of property owners who decide they don’t want firearms on the premises.
Businesses that want guns around would have to put up a sign reading, “Concealed weapons welcome here,” or words to that effect, Hochul said. “Otherwise the presumption will be in the state of New York that they are not.”
“We’re going to protect the rights of private property owners allow them to not have to be subjected to someone walking into their workplace or a bar, restaurant with a concealed weapon,” Hochul said.
Gun rights groups bristled at the idea that firearms could be banned from many places by default.
“She’s telling business owners how they need to conduct their business if they want to stay open. These are unconstitutional mandates, and I think it’ll be struck down by the courts,” said Aaron Dorr, the executive director of the New York State Firearms Association.
The push to pass new restrictions follows the Supreme Court’s decision striking down a provision in New York’s licensing law which required people to show an unusual threat to their safety to carry a handgun.
The state is setting new requirements for getting a handgun permit, Hochul said, including mandating 15 hours of in-person fire range training. The legislature will also enact new rules around firearm storage in homes and vehicles, she said.
Hochul and fellow Democrats also plan on creating a comprehensive list of “sensitive places” where the average citizen will be banned entirely from carrying firearms, including government buildings, hospitals, schools and public transit.
A handful of states, including California, are considering similar steps to revise gun control measures after the Supreme Court ruling.
New York would be the first state to pass a law to allow concealed weapons only in businesses that explicitly allow it, according to David Pucino, deputy chief counsel for Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
In many states where carrying guns is common, the onus is usually on businesses to post signs saying firearms aren’t allowed. Some states, including Louisiana and South Carolina, require people to get permission to bring firearms into private dwellings.
“The state is responding in a very strong way to address the new risks created by the court, but in a way that fits into the framework the court has put forward about what a constitutional set of gun laws look like,” Pucino said.
The Supreme Court ruling said states could ban firearms in particular locations but warned it would be unconstitutional to simply ban guns in all densely populated areas.
Hochul said she is still working with lawmakers to hammer out specifics of the gun control legislation, including on her proposal to bar people with a history of dangerous behavior from getting handgun permits.
Lawmakers will also require background checks for all purchases of ammunition for guns that require a permit, Hochul said.
That’s something already required in several states, and a 2013 state law also would have required such checks in New York once the state set up a database. But legislative leaders and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo agreed in 2015 to halt work on that database.
Dorr, the executive director of the New York State Firearms Association, said requiring background checks would hassle law-abiding gun owners without helping public safety.
“No criminal is going to walk into a retail store to purchase ammunition,” Dorr said. “This is an absurd attempt to demonize law abiding gun owners one more time.”

If Joe Biden wants to run for re-election, he should say so clearly and soon — and then start acting like it. Alternatively, if the president is not sure he wants to run again, he should take that as a strong sign that he shouldn’t — and then make that announcement soon, too.
The point, you may have noticed, is that whatever he does, he needs to do it soon.
Yes, it’s abnormally early for an incumbent president to be making an official announcement. But for all modern incumbents, a re-election campaign has been a foregone conclusion. For Biden, it isn’t. And for many Democrats in Washington, the presumption now — partly because of his age and party because of his policies — is that he’s not running.
Many Democrats see his tenure thus far as reflecting tendencies they usually see in a lame-duck president. He’s prioritized ambitious foreign policy goals — rallying the world against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and fighting a trade war with China — over domestic issues such as inflation. He’s compromised his diversity goals to hand out senior jobs to old friends such as Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough, while simultaneously outsourcing most of the staff work to the left wing of the party. (The Office of Presidential Personnel, for example, is run by a former chief of staff to Representative Pramila Jayapal.)
None of this means that he won’t run for re-election. But it does mean that many who prefer a moderate “Bidenist” Democratic Party to a more progressive one believe that he won’t — and are currently casting around for alternatives to Vice President Kamala Harris.
It continues to be the case, however, that the best standard-bearer for the Bidenist faction of the party is none other than Joe Biden himself. That means he has to become more like Primary Candidate Joe Biden — the one who prioritized popularity and electability over legacy items for the history books — and less like President Joe Biden, who in March 2021 convened a roundtable meeting with historians to discuss his potential legacy and his “think-big, go-big mentality.”
This is the kind of thing presidents normally do in the March after they get re-elected. That’s when they turn the page on practical politics in favor of efforts to define themselves in the eyes of history.
It rarely works out. George W. Bush capped his re-election with a doomed push to privatize Social Security, prompting a huge public backlash, and a grandiose Second Inaugural Address that vowed the “untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of the world.”
First-term Bush, like most first-term presidents, was more pragmatic and focused on giving the people what they wanted. Even at the height of his post-9/11 public approval, his administration focused on “compassionate conservative” agenda items such as including prescription drug coverage in Medicare and expanding eligibility for SNAP benefits. The hard-right pivot after re-election was supposed to leave a more lasting legacy, but it flopped politically. And that political failure helped discredit Bush-style politics in Republican circles.
Barack Obama, similarly, was laser-focused on public opinion during his first term. He advanced progressive social and cultural causes, but consistently “lead from the rear,” ending the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in late 2010, when doing so was overwhelmingly popular, and only endorsing marriage equality after advocates pushed its approval rating up above 50%. Not until his second term did he start throwing caution to the wind, taking big political risks for the sake of diplomatic breakthroughs with Cuba and Iran.
The problem here was similar to that which Republicans had faced eight years earlier: While Obama didn’t need to stand for re-election again, other Democrats did. Fighting with the Israel lobby and Cuban emigrés was politically costly. Donald Trump’s election in 2016 largely undid those legacy items, and even Biden’s presence in the White House can’t put the diplomatic Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Now the Biden administration is being similarly reckless with its politics — hostile to fossil fuel extraction amid high energy costs, picking aggressive fights over transgender issues that could be easily ducked, and more focused on the benefits of student loan relief than on its impact on inflation.
In retrospect, the historians’ advice to Biden to go big was borderline absurd. There’s a reason congressional Democrats ran consistently weaker than his presidential campaign — a margin of the public was voting for Biden despite the progressive agenda, not because of it.
Biden’s core promise was a return to normalcy and the expurgation of Trump from the political system. He’s actually delivered on more of this promise than most people realize, yet his historical legacy may still suffer. It could be something like: “Really high inflation discredited Democrats, allowing authoritarian elements in the Republican Party to regain control of the government.”
The best way for Biden to secure his legacy would be to focus on popularity with the cold calculation of Bill Clinton and crush the opposition with the ruthlessness of LBJ. Of course if Biden truly doesn’t want to run again, then acting like a lame duck is probably unavoidable. But either way, the best thing for the country, and for Biden, would be for the president to clarify his plans and act decisively on them — sooner rather than later.

Here is all you need to know about Katie Boulter ahead of her second round Wimbledon match against Karolina Pliskova
Great Britain’s Katie Boulter earned the biggest win of her career so far after beating Caroline Garcia in the Birmingham Classic and will now face Karolina Pliskova in the second round of Wimbledon.
Boulter received a wildcard to enter the maindraw of Wimbledon 2022 and beat France’s Clara Burel to make it through to the second round.
This year has been a breakout year for the young British star after reaching the quarter finals of the Birmingham Classic, beating Caroline Garcia in the process, as well as reaching the Round of 16 at the Eastbourne International.
Boulter will play Karolina Pliskova later today
Here is everything you need to know about the Brit…
Who is Katie Boulter?
Katie Boulter is a 25-year-old British tennis player from Woodhouse Eaves in Leicestershire.
As well as playing tennis, Boulter was a keen pianist before her tennis career escalated and she also has an interest in fashion – making an appearance in Vogue magazine in 2018.
She is currently in a relationship with Australian tennis player, Alex de Minaur.
Career highlights
After getting into tennis at 5 years old, Boulter went on to represent Great Britain three years later.
In January 2014, Boulter was a finalist at the Australian Open girls’ doubles event with Ivana Jorovic.
Four months later, she won her first senior singles title over Eden Silva and also won the doubles title alongside Nino Stojanovic at the same event.
2018 was possibly her most successful year in tennis, first winning her first $25k singles title in April before winning a second at the $60k event in Fukuoka, Japan.
After receiving wildcards for both the Nottingham Open and the $100k grass-court event in Southsea, Boulter was handed a wildcard into the Wimbledon main draw, where she won her first-round match over Veronica Cepede Royg.
Boulter began the 2019 season with defeat to Greet Minnen in Tasmania, before getting knocked out in the second round of the Australian Open by Aryna Sabalenka.
After competing at the St. Petersburg Ladies’ Trophy, the Mexican Open and the Miami Open, Boulter ended the year ranked 100th.
Over the next two years she was beaten in the first round of the Australian Open twice, as well as the US Open.
Katie Boulter in 2022
After featuring in several ITF Challengers earlier in the year, Boulter made it the Round of 16 at the Lyon Open, the first round of the Indian Wells Masters; Round of 16 at Nottingham before losing to Simona Halep in the quarter finals of the Birmingham Classic.
Halep was the second seeded player at the Birmingham Classic but Boulter did beat the number 55 (and former WTA ranked number 4) Caroline Garcia on her way to that quarter final match.
At the Eastbourne International, Boulter beat Karolina Pliskova, the current world number seven to reach the last 16.
Boulter will hope to complete this feat once more as the two come face to face in the second round of Wimbledon.
When is Katie Boulter playing at Wimbledon?
Boulter will take to Centre Court later today, Thursday 30 June 2022, for her second round match against the Czech Republic’s Karolina Pliskova.
The match will be available to watch on BBC One or BBC iPlayer.

Despite losing her first-round Wimbledon encounter against Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko in straight sets, 23-year-old Jodie Burrage of Britain won the hearts of the home crowd after coming to the aid of a ball boy, who nearly fainted on the court. The Brit provided the young boy with some sweets and energy gel before he was given medical assistance and taken off the court.
As seen in the video below, Jodie Burrage was quick to notice a sick ball boy on the court when she rushed to her bag and got him some Gatorade and gel. Speaking of the incident, the 23-year-old told reporters that it was distressing to see the young ball boy in such a condition, stating that she knew a bit of how he felt, having had a panic attack once in the juniors.

"He just said he was feeling really faint," explained Burrage. "He couldn't actually really talk. It was quite distressing to see. Just tried to get him some sugar, gave him a Gatorade and a gel. The gel is not the nicest thing, so they managed to find some Percy Pigs sweets somewhere along the line in the crowd, which he got down and then started to feel better. He was not in a good spot and I just tried to help as much as possible."
Speaking of the incident she herself had during her junior career, the 23-year-old Brit added, "I actually had a panic attack once in juniors here, so I've been where he is. I kind of know a little bit how he was feeling."
As far as the Wimbledon first-round match was concerned, it was a disappointing day for home favourite Jodie Burrage as she lost 6-2, 6-3 to Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko. While the Brit had a reasonable win percentage of 71% on her first serve, she was extremely disappointing when it came to her second serve, as the percentage fell to a meagre 42%. Moreover, with her failing to convert any of her five break points, she always seemed second-best in the match. | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/tennis-news/wimbledon-british-player-comes-to-ball-boys-rescue-after-he-faints-on-court-watch-articleshow.html | 2022-06-30T11:26:55Z | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/tennis-news/wimbledon-british-player-comes-to-ball-boys-rescue-after-he-faints-on-court-watch-articleshow.html | true | 1 |
Pfizer+Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of PAXLOVID™ (nirmatrelvir [PF-07321332] tablets and ritonavir tablets) for patients who are at high risk for progression to severe illness from COVID-19. PAXLOVID is currently authorized for emergency use for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. The submission provides the longer-term follow-up data necessary for acceptance and potential approval.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 50-60% of the U.S. population is estimated to have one or more risk factors for progressing to severe COVID-19 illness.1 These risk factors include any of the following: being aged 65 and older, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, physical inactivity, chronic kidney or liver disease, and immunocompromised conditions such as cancer, among others.2
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and be highly unpredictable, we must remain vigilant in protecting those who are at greatest risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, as they remain vulnerable to potential hospitalization or even death,” said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pfizer. “Data from our clinical development program, coupled with the more than 1.7 million patients around the world who have been prescribed our oral treatment to date, reinforce PAXLOVID as an important treatment option for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in patients at greater risk of progression to severe symptoms, regardless of vaccination status. We look forward to working with the FDA toward full regulatory approval for PAXLOVID.”
The NDA submission is supported by non-clinical and clinical data for PAXLOVID. It includes results from the Phase 2/3 EPIC-HR study (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in High-Risk Patients), which found that, compared to placebo, treatment with PAXLOVID reduced the risk of hospitalization or death from any cause by 88% in non-hospitalized, high-risk adult patients treated within five days of symptom onset; results from the final Clinical Study Report showed an 86% reduction in relative risk. The submission is also comprised of the most recent analyses from the Phase 2/3 EPIC-SR study (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in Standard-Risk Patients), which included data from both vaccinated patients with, and unvaccinated patients without, risk factors for severe COVID-19. While the novel primary endpoint of self-reported, sustained alleviation of all symptoms for four consecutive days was not met, the data were supportive of the efficacy and safety data observed in EPIC-HR for use in patients at increased risk of progression to severe COVID-19 illness. The NDA submission also includes:
-
An integrated analysis of data across the EPIC-HR and EPIC-SR studies, which showed an 84% reduction (p<0.0001) in hospitalizations or death, compared to placebo and regardless of vaccination status, in patients with at least one risk factor for progression to severe COVID-19 illness who were treated with PAXLOVID (12/1,400 [0.857%] PAXLOVID-treated patients versus 73/1,406 [5.192%] placebo recipients) within five days of symptom onset.
- In EPIC-HR, there was an 86% relative risk reduction in hospitalizations or death through Day 28 in PAXLOVID-treated patients [9/1,039] with no deaths, compared to placebo [66/1,046] which included twelve deaths.
- In EPIC-SR, there was a 57% relative risk reduction in hospitalizations or death through Day 28 in PAXLOVID-treated patients [3/361] with no deaths, compared to placebo [7/360] which included one death.
- Available safety data for PAXLOVID, which have been generally consistent in more than 3,500 PAXLOVID-treated participants across the EPIC clinical development program, including EPIC-HR, EPIC-SR, and EPIC-PEP3 studies, as well as in reported post-authorization safety experience.
- Data from the EPIC-HR, EPIC-SR and EPIC-PEP studies which showed a consistent reduction in viral load with PAXLOVID, including across both the Delta and Omicron variants.
- Data which show that the frequency of return of detectable nasal viral RNA following PAXLOVID treatment was low and generally similar among PAXLOVID and placebo recipients.
PAXLOVID is currently approved or authorized for conditional or emergency use in more than 65 countries across the globe to treat COVID-19 patients who are at increased risk for progressing to severe illness. As of the end of May 2022, Pfizer had shipped more than 12 million treatment courses of PAXLOVID to nearly 40 countries around the world.
Please see Full Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Prescribing Information available at www.fda.gov and www.PAXLOVID.com
About PAXLOVID™ (nirmatrelvir [PF-07321332] tablets and ritonavir tablets)
PAXLOVID is a SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) inhibitor (also known as SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitor) therapy. It was developed to be administered orally so that it can be prescribed early after infection, potentially helping patients avoid severe illness (which can lead to hospitalization and death). Nirmatrelvir [PF-07321332], which originated in Pfizer laboratories, is designed to block the activity of the Mpro, an enzyme that the coronavirus needs to replicate. Co-administration with a low dose of ritonavir helps slow the metabolism, or breakdown, of nirmatrelvir in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus.
Nirmatrelvir is designed to inhibit viral replication at a stage known as proteolysis, which occurs before viral RNA replication. In preclinical studies, nirmatrelvir did not demonstrate evidence of mutagenic DNA interactions.
Current variants of concern can be resistant to treatments that work by binding to the spike protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. PAXLOVID, however, works intracellularly by binding to the highly conserved Mpro (3CL protease) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to inhibit viral replication. Nirmatrelvir has shown consistent in vitro antiviral activity against the following variants: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Lambda, Mu, and Omicron BA.1 and BA.2.
PAXLOVID is generally administered at a dose of 300 mg (two 150 mg tablets) of nirmatrelvir with one 100 mg tablet of ritonavir, given twice-daily for five days. One carton contains five blister packs of PAXLOVID, as co-packaged nirmatrelvir tablets with ritonavir tablets, providing all required doses for a full five-day treatment course.
Our Commitment to Access
Pfizer is committed to working toward equitable access to our oral COVID-19 treatment, PAXLOVID, for high-risk patients in need, aiming to deliver safe and effective oral treatment as soon as possible and at an affordable price. If authorized or approved, during the pandemic, Pfizer will offer its oral therapy through a tiered pricing approach based on the income level of each country to promote equity of access across the globe; high and upper-middle income countries will pay more than lower-income countries. To date, Pfizer has shipped more than 12 million treatment courses of PAXLOVID to nearly 40 countries around the world.
Pfizer has established a comprehensive strategy in close partnership with worldwide governments, international global health leaders, including WHO’s Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A), and global manufacturers to optimize supply and access of PAXLOVID all around the world. This includes:
- Multilateral Supply Agreements: Signed agreement with UNICEF to supply up to 4 million treatment courses of PAXLOVID to low- and middle-income countries in 2022; Signed letter of intent with Global Fund for up to 6 million PAXLOVID treatment courses for supply to 130 Global-Fund eligible countries in 2022 and 2023, subject to the signing of a definitive agreement and regulatory approval or authorization.
- Expanding Access to Patent-Protected Medicines in Lower-Income Countries: Launched An Accord for a Healthier World, a first-of-its-kind initiative to enable sustained, equitable access to high-quality medicines and vaccines for 1.2 billion people living in lower-income countries. Pfizer has committed to provide its patent-protected medicines and vaccines available in the U.S. or European Union, including PAXLOVID, on a not-for-profit basis to 45 lower-income countries around the world and will collaborate with government and global health leaders to address barriers that limit access beyond supply, like diagnosis, education, infrastructure, storage and more.
- Accelerating Testing and Treatment: Signed a letter of intent to join COVID Global Accountability Platform (COVID GAP), a joint initiative of COVID Collaborative and Duke University, along with Open Society Foundations and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). Subject to a definitive agreement, the company will provide treatment courses of PAXLOVID, as well as funding and expert resources, to support the consortium’s efforts aimed at accelerating testing and improving access to treatment in under-resourced parts of the world.
- Treatment Donation: As part of its humanitarian response, Pfizer donated 200K treatment courses of PAXLOVID to Ukraine.
- Voluntary Licensing: Signed a voluntary license agreement with Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) to enable the development and distribution of generic versions of Pfizer’s oral treatment to further expand long-term global supply and access. MPP has signed sublicense agreements with 38 manufacturers, who will supply the generic versions in 95 low- and lower-middle-income countries.
Risk Factors for Severe Illness Due to COVID-19
People with certain risk factors or medical conditions are more likely to become severely ill with COVID-19.2 According to the U.S. Centers+for+Disease+Control+and+Prevention, people more likely to get very sick with COVID-19 include those aged 65 and older and people with certain underlying conditions or risk factors such as cancer, chronic kidney, lung, or liver disease, cystic fibrosis, dementia or other neurological conditions, diabetes (type 1 or 2), disabilities, heart conditions, HIV infection, an immunocompromised condition or weakened immune system, mental health conditions, being overweight or obese, physical inactivity, pregnancy, sickle cell disease or thalassemia, smoking (current or former), recipients of a solid organ or blood stem cell transplant, stroke or cerebrovascular disease, substance use disorders, and tuberculosis.2 Similarly, according to the World+Health+Organization, COVID-19 is often more severe in people aged 60 and older or with health conditions like lung or heart disease, diabetes, or conditions that affect their immune system.2
About the EPIC-HR Final Results
In the final analysis of the primary endpoint from all patients enrolled in EPIC-HR, an 89% reduction in COVID-19-related hospitalization or death from any cause compared to placebo in patients treated within three days of symptom onset was observed, consistent with the interim analysis. In addition, a consistent safety profile was observed.
0.7% of patients who received PAXLOVID were hospitalized through Day 28 following randomization (5/697 hospitalized with no deaths), compared to 6.5% of patients who received placebo and were hospitalized or died (44/682 hospitalized with 9 subsequent deaths). The statistical significance of these results was high (p<0.0001). In a secondary endpoint, PAXLOVID reduced the risk of hospitalization or death from any cause by 88% compared to placebo in patients treated within five days of symptom onset; 0.8% of patients who received PAXLOVID were hospitalized or died through Day 28 following randomization (8/1039 hospitalized with no deaths), compared to 6.3% of patients who received placebo (66/1046 hospitalized with 12 subsequent deaths), with high statistical significance (p<0.0001). In the overall study population through Day 34, no deaths were reported in patients who received PAXLOVID as compared to 13 deaths in patients who received placebo.
Results from the final Clinical Study Report showed an 86% reduction in risk of COVID-19 related hospitalization or death from any cause through Day 28 in PAXLOVID-treated patients, relative to placebo. For the pre-specified endpoint of all-cause mortality at Week 24, no deaths were reported in patients who received PAXLOVID as compared to 15 deaths in patients who received placebo, representing a 100% relative risk reduction (p<0.0001).
In the EPIC-HR trial, in a secondary endpoint, SARS-CoV-2 viral load at baseline and Day 5 have been evaluated for 1,574 patients. After accounting for baseline viral load, geographic region, and serology status, PAXLOVID reduced viral load by approximately 10-fold relative to placebo when treatment was initiated within three days of symptom onset, indicating robust activity against SARS-CoV-2.
Treatment-emergent adverse events were comparable between PAXLOVID (23%) and placebo (24%), most of which were mild in intensity. Fewer serious adverse events (1.6% vs. 6.6%) and discontinuation of study drug due to adverse events (2.1% vs. 4.2%) were observed in patients dosed with PAXLOVID, compared to placebo, respectively.
All other secondary endpoints for this study, which are available on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04960202) and EudraCT (2021-002895-38), were not yet available for this review.
U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization Statement
PAXLOVID has not been approved but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an EUA, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high-risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.
The emergency use of PAXLOVID is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.
AUTHORIZED USE
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the emergency use of the unapproved product PAXLOVID for the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.
LIMITATIONS OF AUTHORIZED USE
- PAXLOVID is not authorized for initiation of treatment in patients requiring hospitalization due to severe or critical COVID-19
- PAXLOVID is not authorized for use as pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of COVID-19
- PAXLOVID is not authorized for use for longer than 5 consecutive days
PAXLOVID may only be prescribed for an individual patient by physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants that are licensed or authorized under state law to prescribe drugs in the therapeutic class to which PAXLOVID belongs (i.e., anti-infectives).
PAXLOVID is not approved for any use, including for use for the treatment of COVID-19.
PAXLOVID is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of PAXLOVID under 564(b)(1) of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
PAXLOVID is contraindicated in patients with a history of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions (eg, toxic epidermal necrolysis [TEN] or Stevens-Johnson syndrome) to its active ingredients (nirmatrelvir or ritonavir) or any other components of the product.
Drugs listed in this section are a guide and not considered a comprehensive list of all drugs that may be contraindicated with PAXLOVID. The healthcare provider should consult other appropriate resources such as the prescribing information for the interacting drug for comprehensive information on dosing or monitoring with concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inhibitor such as ritonavir.
PAXLOVID is contraindicated with drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening reactions:
- Alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin
- Analgesics: pethidine, propoxyphene
- Antianginal: ranolazine
- Antiarrhythmic: amiodarone, dronedarone, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine
- Anti-gout: colchicine
- Antipsychotics: lurasidone, pimozide, clozapine
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia agents: silodosin
- Cardiovascular agents: eplerenone, ivabradine
- Ergot derivatives: dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors: lovastatin, simvastatin
- Immunosuppressants: voclosporin
- Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor: lomitapide
- Migraine medications: eletriptan, ubrogepant
- Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: finerenone
- Opioid antagonists: naloxegol
- PDE5 inhibitor: sildenafil (Revatio®) when used for pulmonary arterial hypertension
- Sedative/hypnotics: triazolam, oral midazolam
- Serotonin receptor 1A agonist/serotonin receptor 2A antagonist: flibanserin
- Vasopressin receptor antagonists: tolvaptan
PAXLOVID is contraindicated with drugs that are potent CYP3A inducers where significantly reduced nirmatrelvir or ritonavir plasma concentrations may be associated with the potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance. PAXLOVID cannot be started immediately after discontinuation of any of the following medications due to the delayed offset of the recently discontinued CYP3A inducer:
- Anticancer drugs: apalutamide
- Anticonvulsant: carbamazepine, primidone, phenytoin
- Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator potentiators: lumacaftor/ivacaftor
- Herbal Products: St. John’s Wort (hypericum perforatum)
There are limited clinical data available for PAXLOVID. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with PAXLOVID use.
Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions Due to Drug Interactions: Initiation of PAXLOVID, a CYP3A inhibitor, in patients receiving medications metabolized by CYP3A or initiation of medications metabolized by CYP3A in patients already receiving PAXLOVID, may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP3A. Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease concentrations of PAXLOVID, respectively. These interactions may lead to:
- Clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications
- Clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of PAXLOVID
- Loss of therapeutic effect of PAXLOVID and possible development of viral resistance
Consult Table 1 of the Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for clinically significant drug interactions, including contraindicated drugs. Drugs listed in Table 1 are a guide and not considered a comprehensive list of all possible drugs that may interact with PAXLOVID. Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during PAXLOVID therapy; review concomitant medications during PAXLOVID therapy and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the concomitant medications.
Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with PAXLOVID including urticaria, angioedema, dyspnea, mild skin eruptions, and pruritus. Cases of anaphylaxis, TEN, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have also been reported with components of PAXLOVID (refer to NORVIR labeling). If signs and symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue PAXLOVID and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care.
Hepatotoxicity: Hepatic transaminase elevations, clinical hepatitis, and jaundice have occurred in patients receiving ritonavir. Therefore, caution should be exercised when administering PAXLOVID to patients with pre-existing liver diseases, liver enzyme abnormalities, or hepatitis.
Because nirmatrelvir is co-administered with ritonavir, there may be a risk of HIV-1 developing resistance to HIV protease inhibitors in individuals with uncontrolled or undiagnosed HIV-1 infection.
Adverse events in the PAXLOVID group (≥1%) that occurred at a greater frequency (≥5 subject difference) than in the placebo group were dysgeusia (6% and <1%, respectively), diarrhea (3% and 2%), hypertension (1% and <1%), and myalgia (1% and <1%). The proportions of subjects who discontinued treatment due to an adverse event were 2% in the PAXLOVID group and 4% in the placebo group.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-authorization use of PAXLOVID. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Abdominal pain, nausea
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Malaise
Required Reporting for Serious Adverse Events and Medication Errors: The prescribing healthcare provider and/or the provider’s designee is/are responsible for mandatory reporting of all serious adverse events and medication errors potentially related to PAXLOVID within 7 calendar days from the healthcare provider’s awareness of the event.
Submit adverse event and medication error reports to FDA MedWatch using one of the following methods:
- Online: https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fmedwatch%2Freport.htm
- Complete and submit a postage-paid FDA+Form+3500 and returning by mail/fax
- Call 1-800-FDA-1088 to request a reporting form

PAXLOVID is an inhibitor of CYP3A and may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Co-administration of PAXLOVID with drugs highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events is contraindicated. Co-administration with other CYP3A substrates may require a dose adjustment or additional monitoring.
Nirmatrelvir and ritonavir are CYP3A substrates; therefore, drugs that induce CYP3A may decrease nirmatrelvir and ritonavir plasma concentrations and reduce PAXLOVID therapeutic effect.
Pregnancy: There are no available human data on the use of nirmatrelvir during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug‑associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Published observational studies on ritonavir use in pregnant women have not identified an increase in the risk of major birth defects. Published studies with ritonavir are insufficient to identify a drug‑associated risk of miscarriage. There are maternal and fetal risks associated with untreated COVID-19 in pregnancy.
Lactation: There are no available data on the presence of nirmatrelvir in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. A transient decrease in body weight was observed in the nursing offspring of rats administered nirmatrelvir. Limited published data reports that ritonavir is present in human milk. There is no information on the effects of ritonavir on the breastfed infant or the effects of the drug on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for PAXLOVID and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from PAXLOVID or from the underlying maternal condition. Breastfeeding individuals with COVID‑19 should follow practices according to clinical guidelines to avoid exposing the infant to COVID‑19.
Contraception: Use of ritonavir may reduce the efficacy of combined hormonal contraceptives. Advise patients using combined hormonal contraceptives to use an effective alternative contraceptive method or an additional barrier method of contraception.
Pediatrics: PAXLOVID is not authorized for use in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age or weighing less than 40 kg. The safety and effectiveness of PAXLOVID have not been established in pediatric patients. The authorized adult dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable serum exposures of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir in patients 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg as observed in adults, and adults with similar body weight were included in the trial EPIC-HR.
Systemic exposure of nirmatrelvir increases in renally impaired patients with increase in the severity of renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is needed in patients with mild renal impairment. In patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥30 to <60 mL/min), reduce the dose of PAXLOVID to 150 mg nirmatrelvir and 100 mg ritonavir twice daily for 5 days. Prescriptions should specify the numeric dose of each active ingredient within PAXLOVID. Providers should counsel patients about renal dosing instructions. PAXLOVID is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min based on CKD-EPI formula) until more data are available; the appropriate dosage for patients with severe renal impairment has not been determined.
No dosage adjustment of PAXLOVID is needed for patients with either mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. No pharmacokinetic or safety data are available regarding the use of nirmatrelvir or ritonavir in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C); therefore, PAXLOVID is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Disclosure Notice
The information contained in this release is as of June 30, 2022. Pfizer assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this statement as the result of new information or future events or developments.
This release contains forward-looking information about Pfizer’s efforts to combat COVID-19 and PAXLOVID (including qualitative assessments of available data, potential benefits, expectations for clinical trials, the anticipated timing of data readouts, regulatory submissions, regulatory approvals or authorizations, a new drug application submission in the U.S. for appropriate individuals at high risk of progression to severe illness and potential in high-risk COVID-19 patients, and efforts toward equitable access), involving substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, including the ability to meet anticipated clinical endpoints, commencement and/or completion dates for clinical trials, regulatory submission dates, regulatory approval dates and/or launch dates, as well as risks associated with preclinical and clinical data (including the data discussed in this release), including the possibility of unfavorable new preclinical, clinical or safety data and further analyses of existing preclinical, clinical or safety data, including the risk that final results from EPIC-SR could differ from the interim data; the ability to produce comparable clinical or other results including efficacy, safety and tolerability profile observed to date, in additional studies or in larger, more diverse populations following commercialization; uncertainties regarding the commercial impact of the results of the EPIC-SR and EPIC-PEP trials; the ability of PAXLOVID to maintain efficacy against emerging virus variants; the risk that serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with PAXLOVID use; the risk that preclinical and clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations and assessments, including during the peer review/publication process, in the scientific community generally, and by regulatory authorities; whether regulatory authorities will be satisfied with the design of and results from these and any future preclinical and clinical studies; whether and when any drug applications or submissions to request emergency use or conditional marketing authorization for any potential indications for PAXLOVID may be filed in particular jurisdictions and if obtained, whether or when such emergency use authorization or licenses will expire or terminate; whether and when regulatory authorities in any jurisdictions may approve any applications or submissions for PAXLOVID that may be pending or filed (including the new drug application submission for PAXLOVID in the U.S. for appropriate individuals at high risk of progression to severe illness and submissions in other jurisdictions), which will depend on myriad factors, including making a determination as to whether the product’s benefits outweigh its known risks and determination of the product’s efficacy and, if approved, whether it will be commercially successful; decisions by regulatory authorities impacting labeling or marketing, manufacturing processes, safety and/or other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of PAXLOVID, including development of products or therapies by other companies; risks related to the availability of raw materials for PAXLOVID; the risk that we may not be able to create or scale up manufacturing capacity on a timely basis or maintain access to logistics or supply channels commensurate with global demand, which would negatively impact our ability to supply the estimated numbers of courses of PAXLOVID within the projected time periods; whether and when additional purchase agreements will be reached; the risk that demand for any products may be reduced or no longer exist which may lead to reduced revenues or excess inventory; uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19 on Pfizer’s business, operations and financial results; and competitive developments.
A further description of risks and uncertainties can be found in Pfizer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and in its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, including in the sections thereof captioned “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results”, as well as in its subsequent reports on Form 8-K, all of which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov and www.pfizer.com.
