WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - The United States has not seen China evade sanctions or provide military equipment to Russia, a senior US official said on Thursday (June 30), adding that enforcement measures taken earlier in the week targeted certain Chinese companies, not the government.
The Commerce Department added five companies in China to a trade blacklist on Tuesday for allegedly supporting Russia's military and defence industrial base as Moscow carries out its war in Ukraine.
US officials have warned of consequences, including sanctions, should China offer material support for Russia's war effort, but have consistently said they have yet to detect overt Chinese military and economic backing of Moscow.
"China is not providing material support. This is normal course-of-business enforcement action against entities that have been backfilling for Russia," a senior Biden administration official told Reuters, referring to the Commerce blacklist.
"We have not seen the PRC (People's Republic of China) engage in systematic evasion or provide military equipment to Russia," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The United States has set out with allies to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for the invasion, which Moscow calls a "special operation", by sanctioning a raft of Russian companies and oligarchs and adding others to a trade blacklist.
China has refused to condemn Russia's actions and has criticised the sweeping Western sanctions on Moscow. Beijing also says that it has not provided military assistance to Russia or Ukraine, but that it would take "necessary measures" to protect the rights of its companies.
The Commerce Department action means US suppliers need a licence before they can ship items to listed companies. But the department also targeted dozens of other entities, including some in allied countries, such as the United Kingdom and Lithuania. | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/china-not-giving-material-support-for-russias-war-in-ukraine-us-official | 2022-07-01T02:05:43Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/china-not-giving-material-support-for-russias-war-in-ukraine-us-official | false | 10 |
Welcome to the beginning of our preview of the 2022 Iowa Hawkeyes football season as we take a look at each and every player on the roster counting down the days to kickoff inside Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, September 3rd. You can find each player preview, as well as the complete current roster on the countdown story stream here.
Next up in the countdown is #65, offensive lineman Logan Jones.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s one of my mom’s 700 sayings. It also happens to be true, and it very much pertains to Iowa football.
Logan Jones - Sophomore
Council Bluffs, IA (Lewis Central)
6’3”, 283 lbs
2022 Projection: 1st Team Center
Logan Jones terrorized Iowa high school players for years. He was one of those kids that made one say, “Is he still playing high school ball?!” Jones earned first team all-state in football his junior and senior years. He also won the Lineman of the Year award two times. His Lewis Central team went 21-3 his last two years. Jones was a team captain. He lettered four times in football. He also lettered 4 times in track; he won state titles in the shot and discuss. He earned 3 letters in basketball. In other words, he is exactly what Iowa looks for in a football player.
In 2020 Jones redshirted. In 2021 Jones did not see the field for the first 10 games due to injury. He played in the Illinois game. The Hawkeyes’ coaches then started looking at Tyler Linderbaum and Logan Jones and saying, “Yep, let’s run that back.” As you know, Tyler Linderbaum came in and was a defensive lineman. Lindy switched over to center and the rest is history. Logan Jones also came in and played as a defensive lineman. The rest is to be continued, but I like the young man’s makeup and I trust the Hawkeye coaching staff.
Jones will need to put on some more weight. One area where he is already flourishing is in the weight room. Jones set two Hawkeye football records for defensive tackles. His squat was 630 pounds and his hang clean was 435. Dang!
Here are some highlights from Logan Jones’ senior year in high school. WARNING - not for the faint of heart!
Tyler Linderbaum was an athletic, nasty football player for our Iowa Hawkeyes. There aren’t many Linderbaums out there, but there are so many comparisons between these two players I wouldn’t bet against Jones. Jones will continue to add weight, put in the work in the weight room, and work on his craft, and who knows what his ceiling will be. He is just a call / text away from one of the GOATS. | https://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2022/6/30/23189708/65-days-until-iowa-hawkeye-football-logan-jones-bhgp | 2022-07-01T02:06:06Z | https://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2022/6/30/23189708/65-days-until-iowa-hawkeye-football-logan-jones-bhgp | true | 1 |

(NEWS10) — Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a home on North Milton Road just outside the city of Saratoga Springs for what police said was a swatting incident. Swatting is when a prank call is made in an attempt to bring a large number of police officers to a specific location.
The incident took place around 7:45 p.m. Thursday. Police said a call came in for a person with a weapon. New York State Police and Saratoga County Sheriff deputies responded to the fake call.
The area was blocked off until it was confirmed as a swatting incident. Police said there is no emergency and no threat to the public. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. | https://www.news10.com/news/saratoga-county/police-called-to-saratoga-county-home-in-swatting-incident/ | 2022-07-01T02:12:32Z | https://www.news10.com/news/saratoga-county/police-called-to-saratoga-county-home-in-swatting-incident/ | true | null |

Ethan Paligo is a stalwart behind the plate for the Bennington Post 13 American Legion baseball team. It turns out he can pitch a little, too.
Paligo threw five innings of two-hit ball, setting the tone in a 2-1 win for Bennington against Rutland Post 31 on Thursday at St. Peter's Field.
"Ethan hadn't pitched in almost two years. I gave him the ball and he did great out there," said Post 13 coach Ryan Greenslet.
Paligo kept Rutland off balance throughout his outing. He had just one strikeout, but pitched to contact and let the defense make plays behind him.
"The defense is what you're counting on and they backed him up well," Greenslet said. "We had minimal errors today."
Mathew Wasieleuski pitched two scoreless innings of relief after Paligo was taken out one batter into the sixth inning.
Rutland had its share of chances, but rarely capitalized. Despite only having five hits, Post 31 had runners on base all game long. Rutland left multiple runners on in five innings, including the last four of Thursday's game.
The lone run Post 31 pushed across came via a balk by Paligo in the fifth inning.
"We didn't hit the greatest, but we did have runners in scoring position quite a bit," said Rutland coach Aaron Bloomer. "We couldn't get the timely hit. The (Bennington) pitchers kept us off balance. They did a very good job, the first and second pitcher."
Bennington was coming off a rough showing on Tuesday, where it fell to Lakes Region 10-3, and over the weekend, Post 13 dropped two to Bellows Falls.
With only three spots up for grabs for Southern Division teams in the state tournament, it's important to rack up wins and avoid lengthy losing streaks.
"They buckled down and didn't get rattled much. I try to tell these kids all the time to just go out there and have fun and do the best they can," Greenslet said. "When they start getting razzled, that's when things can go bad."
Bennington's bats weren't at their best, but they did enough to win. Wasieleuski had an RBI infield single in the first inning and that held up for a while.
Post 13 got an important insurance run in the top of the fifth. Rutland starter Matt Greeno had been rolling after a shaky first inning with three hitless frames, but Bennington led off the fifth with two straight hit and got another hit after a flyout.
The insurance run came in on a sacrifice fly by AJ Brown that scored Nat Greenslet.
"Most of the time, in a game like this, you have to make something happen. Usually it only takes one or two hits and the kids will come alive," coach Greenslet said.
Greeno was a hard-luck losing pitcher in Thursday's game. The Mount St. Joseph right-hander gave up eight hits, but was dominant for stretches. Greeno fanned eight Bennington batters.
"Greeno pitched awesome. He literally kept us in the game the whole time," Bloomer said.
Rutland (3-5) has a tough challenge on Saturday, hosting White River Junction for a doubleheader St. Peter's Field.
Bennington (3-6) has the weekend off, but will meet Post 84 on Tuesday at Mount Anthony Union High School. | https://www.rutlandherald.com/sports/bennington-holds-off-rutland/article_8233e11d-e8f5-51ca-8d2f-497c4e6dfc82.html | 2022-07-01T02:34:06Z | https://www.rutlandherald.com/sports/bennington-holds-off-rutland/article_8233e11d-e8f5-51ca-8d2f-497c4e6dfc82.html | false | 1 |
Ethane Carrier Pacific INEOS Grenadier Named in Houston
One of the world’s largest ethane carriers was named Pacific INEOS Grenadier during a ceremony held Tuesday in Houston.
The 230-meter-long, 99,000 CBM very large ethane carrier (VLEC) and is the latest ship to join the INEOS fleet. It will be operated by Pacific Gas.
Built in Jiangnan, China, the ship is fitted with Type B tanks, a new design for transporting liquified ethane that optimizes vessel capacity. The ship also has the potential to carry other products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and ethylene.
At the ceremony, Randa Duncan Williams, chairman of the general partner of Enterprise Products, formally named the ship and became its official godmother. The vessel is named in honor of INEOS’ Grenadier 4X4 rugged off-road vehicle that is soon to launch in America.
David Thompson, CEO of INEOS Trading & Shipping, said, “Today’s ceremony was very special for INEOS. It highlights perfectly the immense breadth of the company which now spans from chemicals and energy, to fashion and automotive. Seeing the Grenadier 4X4 next to the VLEC was simply spectacular. In February this year we launched the Pacific INEOS Belstaff, then the world’s largest ethane carrier, and today alongside our highly anticipated Grenadier 4X4 we have added the second of the world’s largest VLECs to our growing fleet.”
The INEOS ethane fleet now consists of 12 vessels including four VLECs, and eight ‘Dragon’ ships. The Dragon ships have been regularly transporting ethane across the Atlantic for over six years. | https://www.marinelink.com/news/ethane-carrier-pacific-ineos-grenadier-497765 | 2022-07-01T02:37:19Z | https://www.marinelink.com/news/ethane-carrier-pacific-ineos-grenadier-497765 | false | 1 |
- Participated USD 4M in Series A round of Sabanto through Hico Capital
- Investment decision based on market growth and Sabanto's differentiated competitive edge… contributing to sustainability as well
- "Investing in a variety of promising business domains around the world, to build a foundation to upgrade our business portfolio"
SEOUL, South Korea, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hico Capital, US based investment arm of SK networks, has invested in a US AgTech startup.
SK networks announced on June 30(CDT) that the company will invest USD 4 million, via Hico Capital, its US investment subsidiary, in the Series A round for tractor automation solution provider, Sabanto (based in Chicago, Illinois, USA). Total funding amount is USD 17 million which will be used to fund commercialization and continued development the technology.
Sabanto is a startup offering an automation solution for farming tractors and differentiates itself from competitors by delivering an automation solution deployable in conventional tractors currently in operation. In addition, as the solution is offered as an open platform, it is compatible with most of the tractor brands. The automation solution is attractive with this wide range of adaptability as it can enable customers to access autonomy-embedded tractor without replacing the existing tractors. Sabanto is on track for a commercial launch of its product to farmers in the third quarter of this year. In addition, Sabanto has been pilot testing with the US Air Force since last year, with the final phase of testing to be completed in the third quarter of this year.
Hico Capital has made its investment decision based on the considerable growth potential of AgTech industry as well as Sabanto's differentiated technologies. The US agriculture industry faces a series of challenges including aging farmers, shortage of labor, and rising costs, which have prompted the government and the market to consider automation technology as a possible solution. The global autonomous tractor market is estimated to grow at 20% per annum. Sabanto is expected to benefit from the industry tailwind, driven by the increasing demand for automation.
Samuel Kim, Managing Director at Hico Capital commented, "The AgTech industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the United States, and Sabanto's automation tech offerings will not only boost the operational efficiency of tractors but also contribute to the sustainability in agriculture," and he added, "This investment will allow us to support startups with innovative technology and potentially forge partnership with SK networks' businesses in the future."
Founded in 2020, Hico Capital is a subsidiary of SK networks based in Silicon Valley to facilitate investments in frontier tech opportunities and to expand its local networks. Hico Capital has made a number of investments to date, including Standard Cognition and MycoWorks.

Q: Recently we had a package delivered containing a product that we had not ordered. The delivery name and address were for a company that we owned several years ago but it is now defunct. The invoice indicates that it was charged to a credit card account that we no longer have. Is this some sort of convoluted scam? We have never had any use for this product so certainly we would never have ordered it. What should we do with it?
A.K.
Answer: The product is yours to keep, donate or throw away. Any time you receive an item you did not order, you are under no obligation to return it or pay for it.
It could be an attempt to get personal information or to pressure you into paying for goods that you didn't order.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the investigative division of the U.S. Postal Service, says this about receiving merchandise you didn’t order:
• Don’t pay for it and don’t be talked into paying for it.
People are also reading…
• If it was delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, you can mark it, “Return to Sender” and the USPS will return at no charge.
• You can throw it away, as long as it’s not a hazard to put it in the trash.
• “If you opened it and you like it, you may keep it. By law, you may keep unsolicited merchandise and are under no obligation to pay for it,” the service said.
USPIS also advises you to change passwords, and monitor your credit report and credit card statements.
If the package was from Amazon, eBay, or another third-party seller, notify them and file a fraud report.
Q: I saw a comment on Facebook and the person said when he was 9 years old (around 1970) he was out rolling up Winston-Salem Journal newspapers at 3 a.m. and would finish his route in time to start school. Was there a minimum age requirement for newspaper delivery workers in that time period?
J.S.
Answer: Frank Clayton, who recently retired as the production manager for the Winston-Salem Journal, turned being a paper boy into a long career with the newspaper.
He said that paper carriers had to be at least 12 years old.
“In the 60’s and 70’s most newspaper carriers were kids. You had to be at least 12 to get a route in your name. Your parents had to sign the contract as well
“I started delivering around age 9 but it was as a helper to the kid who delivered on my block. I knew several kids whose younger siblings assisted in delivering newspaper.
“Papers were delivered to porches or mailboxes in those days. We also delivered morning and night. Average route was 75-90 customers back them.”
Q: There is an unoccupied house in my neighborhood where the grass has not been cut in months. The weeds are now over 4 feet high. In addition to being a terrible eyesore, I am concerned about snakes and other critters taking up residence in this jungle? Isn't this against some regulation? The home is within the city limits.
N.B.
Answer: Section 62-2.6 (a) of the Winston-Salem Municipal Code states, “Turf grasses shall not exceed eight inches in height.”
You can report the violation to CityLink at 311 or 336-727-8000. You can also report it through the city’s website, www.cityofws.org.

After five years, celebrated video game Cuphead has another offering: The Delicious Last Course. The original game won legions of fans with sumptuous animation hand-drawn on paper in the style of 1930s cartoons, complete with a roaring big band soundtrack. Now, after a Netflix show, a comic book series, and a few middle-grade novels, the game has new downloadable content that's just as gorgeous, imaginative, and brutally difficult as before.
Tough-as-nails crockery
If you've been playing Elden Ring over the past few months as I have, you know what it's like to fight the same boss a hundred times. The surging joy you feel when overcoming a challenge that initially seems impossible. Beating Elden Ring is a badge of honor to gamers.
Cuphead, initially released in 2017, is a run-and-gun platformer that's just as punishing and rewarding. It follows two walking, talking pieces of dishware, Cuphead and Mugman, who gambled at a casino and lost their souls to the devil. Always one to bargain, the devil indicates that they can stave off damnation by collecting "soul contracts" from bosses that range from a pair of boxing frogs to a giant mermaid who transforms into a snake-haired medusa.
If that sounds surreal – that's very much the point. The game emulates the lunacy of 1930s cartoons, and even replicates production techniques of the era. Cuphead's animators spend years drawing each frame on paper before their drawings spring to life in glorious technicolor gameplay. Stir in a frantic score recorded by a real life big band orchestra, and you've got an aesthetic feast unlike any in the business.
Returning to form
The game's popularity led to a lackluster Netflix spinoff show – which features digital animation trying to pass itself off as 1930s technique. With predictable plots and half-baked humor, the show didn't make me laugh once in three episodes. I can safely say that Cuphead is much better as a video game inspired by cartoons than as an actual cartoon.
Blessedly, we've finally got more game to enjoy. After five years and plenty of painstaking labor, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is available to download. It adds a new area, new weapons, new charms, and a new playable character, Ms. Chalice, who first appeared as a damsel-in-distress in the original game.
Get ready for another loony premise: Cuphead and Mugman met a ghostly Ms. Chalice when they rescued her from a vase in a mausoleum. In The Delicious Last Course, Ms. Chalice finds a way to regain her corporeal form by feeding an "Astral Cookie" to either Cuphead or Mugman – temporarily swapping bodies with them. She introduces the pair to Saltbaker, a burly salt-shaker who is also a baker (naturally). Your goal is to complete his "Wondertart" recipe to permanently bring Ms. Chalice back to life by collecting baking ingredients guarded by five main bosses.
A kaleidoscope of surreal bosses
Each of the five main bosses are so arrestingly animated and visually interesting that it's worth trying and failing against them dozens of times just to soak it in. There's a cherry-nosed giant whose beard carpets the ground like snow. He'll open his mouth to reveal gnomes stirring a cauldron of goop to fling at you. During his next phase he rips off his beard and dons huge hand puppets to pummel you with.
Another boss battle is a literal "dogfight." You have to balance on a small plane as a bulldog pilot flings bones at you. During the last phase, the canine's aircraft itself turns into a menacing enemy. Another fight pits you against a gang of bugs. It begins with a bow-tied spider who speeds around the map, leaving webbed bombs in your path. Defeat him and you'll face a fashionable firefly who dances to a gramophone that radiates painful lasers. The final phase involves an anteater who's so big you can only damage his snout as he tries to lick you to death.
While The Delicious Last Course has plenty of challenges – including an optional gauntlet of fights based around anthropomorphic chess pieces – playing as Ms. Chalice gives you a new way to beat them. Unlike Cuphead and Mugman, Ms. Chalice has a distinct double-jump, special dash, and invincible roll. You can play as her through the original game too, giving old players a new reason to dive in again.
I've never been the type to torture myself with video games. So when games like Elden Ring and Cuphead were released, I didn't expect to enjoy them, let alone get good at them. They're both great games, I just didn't think they were for me. I was totally wrong. Every minute is rewarding, and you can always learn from your mistakes to get better. The Delicious Last course offers even more of that scrumptious gameplay–and for $7.99, it's a bargain meal.
Cuphead, The Delicious Last Course was released today on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Nine people, including a teenager, were wounded Thursday evening in gunfire outside a neighborhood grocery shop in Newark, police said.
All of the victims are expected to survive and police are searching for a vehicle believed to have been involved in the shooting, Acting Newark Public Safety Director Raul Malave told reporters at the scene.
Five of the victims, including a 17-year-old, brought themselves to a hospital. Four other victims were taken to a hospital by emergency responders, Malave said.
Officers responded to the residential neighborhood at about 6:19 p.m. after an alert from the city's ShotSpotter system, which can detect gunfire. Police were looking for a white Honda Pilot that was stolen in Jersey City, Malave said.
It wasn't immediately clear how many people were shooting or why the gunfire started. | https://www.cp24.com/world/police-shooting-in-newark-wounds-9-all-expected-to-survive-1.5970797 | 2022-07-01T03:00:22Z | https://www.cp24.com/world/police-shooting-in-newark-wounds-9-all-expected-to-survive-1.5970797 | false | null |
Workforce challenges have hit just about every industry in West Virginia, though some have been feeling the pinch for longer than others. It was necessary years ago to start looking for solutions in the field of nursing. Efforts have been underway here to attract, retain, educate and support nurses, and it seems as though some are bearing fruit.
West Virginia’s Center for Nursing released its 2021 data to provide “the public and stakeholders with vital information about the current state of the nursing workforce in West Virginia and offers areas where we can improve,” according to Gerald Bragg, chair of the West Virginia Center for Nursing’s board.
From 2020-21, the number of registered nurses working here increased by 2 percent. According to the Center for Nursing, that means efforts to expand nursing programs, recruit out-of-state nurses and help those with lapsed licenses to re-enter the field are working.
Meanwhile, during the same period, the number of RNs and advanced practiced registered nurses under the age of 50 increased as well. New nurses are entering the workforce.
But there is still a problem. More than 13.6 percent of nurses licensed in the Mountain State are instead working in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland.
This means, “The state should consider additional ways to retain nurses in West Virginia and recruit out-of-state nurses who are already licensed in West Virginia to join the state’s nursing workforce,” according to the Center for Nursing.
We are making progress. There is proof that efforts to tackle some aspects of the shortage have been effective. Officials should heed the advice of the Center for Nursing and get to work on convincing some of those licensed to work here to do so. It is likely the most difficult part of the challenge, but one that must be addressed. | https://www.register-herald.com/opinion/challenge-remains-to-fill-nursing-ranks/article_4cfbc51c-f8d0-11ec-b5f3-af6f3cf0ae9b.html | 2022-07-01T03:02:57Z | https://www.register-herald.com/opinion/challenge-remains-to-fill-nursing-ranks/article_4cfbc51c-f8d0-11ec-b5f3-af6f3cf0ae9b.html | false | 4 |

‘The pain will never go away’: Daughter killed on 26th birthday, father says
DOUGLAS, Ga. (WALB/Gray News) - Troopers in Florida are investigating an incident where a 26-year-old woman died on her birthday.
Authorities said A’Ryshanae McTear was walking on Interstate 10 in Jacksonville, Florida, when two vehicles struck and killed her on June 25.
WALB reports her family doesn’t know why she was walking alone on the highway. They described McTear as the glue that kept their family together.
The 26-year-old’s father, Latrell Wallace, said his daughter was an honor student who had just graduated college with her medical and phlebotomist degree. She was starting her career in the medical field.
Wallace said McTear went to Jacksonville from Douglas with her two friends to celebrate her 26th birthday. He said the family was waiting for her to return because they had a family cookout planned.
“We don’t know what happened. This is the hardest thing I ever did in my life,” Wallace said.
McTear leaves behind her nieces, nephews and her siblings.
“This will never go away. The pain will never go away for this family. Saying goodbye to her will never happen. We will never get to say goodbye to our daughter. We will never have closure because we don’t know what happened,” Wallace said.
McTear ‘s family said they plan to celebrate her life with a balloon release in her honor.

Silver Price Outlook:
- Silver prices broke out of multi-week symmetrical triangle to the downside as anticipated, falling to fresh yearly lows.
- A steeper drop towards 18.7064 may be in its early stages.
- However, recent changes in sentiment suggest that silver prices have a bullish bias in the near-term.
Fundamentals Spur Technical Breakdown
Silver prices established a fresh yearly low today, continuing a stretch of sharp selling pressures after the symmetrical triangle noted last week gave way. These are the lowest levels seen since July 2020, and there’s little reason to think that the worst is over yet.
It remains the case that fundamental headwinds remain significant. The ongoing rise in US real yields – nominal US Treasury yields less US inflation expectations (as measured by breakevens and inflation swap forwards) – coupled with global recession concerns has curated a difficult environment for silver prices. Accordingly, nothing has changed: the “weak fundamental narrative for silver prices underpins a still-weak technical outlook.”
Silver Prices and Volatility Relationship Flips
Both gold and silver are precious metals that typically enjoy a safe haven appeal during times of uncertainty in financial markets. While other asset classes don’t like increased volatility (signaling greater uncertainty around cash flows, dividends, coupon payments, etc.), precious metals tend to benefit from periods of higher volatility as uncertainty increases silver’s safe haven appeal. It may take another surge in US equity market volatility for silver prices to find some stability in the short-term.
VIX (US S&P 500 VOLATILITY) versus Silver Price TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: DAILY PRICE CHART (June 2021 to June 2022) (CHART 1)
US stock market volatility (as measured by the US S&P 500 volatility index, VIX, which tracks the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options) was trading at 28.87 at the time this report was written. The 5-day correlation between the VIX and silver prices is -0.79 and the 20-day correlation is -0.32. One week ago, on June 23, the 5-day correlation was +0.85 and the 20-day correlation was -0.46.
SILVER PRICE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: DAILY CHART (June 2021 to June 2022) (CHART 2)
In setting a fresh 2022 low today, silver prices broke through a confluence of Fibonacci retracements that help gird the prior yearly low back in May. This was anticipated, as in last week’s commentary it was noted that “the consolidation that’s emerged has taken the shape of a symmetrical triangle. In context of the preceding move to the downside, the triangle’s favored breakout direction would be lower.”
Momentum has taken a turn to the downside. Silver prices are below among their daily 5-, 8-, 13-, and 21-EMA envelope, which is in bearish sequential order. Daily MACD is now falling while below its signal line, and daily Slow Stochastics are back in oversold territory. A ‘sell the rally’ perspective remains appropriate.
SILVER PRICE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: WEEKLY CHART (November 2010 to June 2022) (CHART 3)
As noted previously, “a drop below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 2011 high/2020 low range at 20.6500 would offer a strong confirmation signal that the next leg lower has begun.” Concurrently, this may mean that a move towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2020 low/2021 high range at 18.7064 has begun. Silver prices below their weekly 4-, 8-, and 13-EMAs, and the EMA envelope is aligned in bearish sequential order. Weekly MACD is trending lower below its signal line, while weekly Slow Stochastics are back in oversold territory. Confidence remains high in the idea that the path of least resistance is lower.
IG CLIENT SENTIMENT INDEX: SILVER PRICE FORECAST (June 30, 2022) (CHART 4)
Silver: Retail trader data shows 91.29% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 10.49 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 4.55% lower than yesterday and 14.77% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 16.76% higher than yesterday and 31.17% higher from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Silver prices may continue to fall.
Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Silver price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.

Surrey RCMP say a child was taken to hospital after falling out a townhouse window in Cloverdale Wednesday (June 29).
Const. Gurvinder Ghag said police were called to the 7000-block of 180 Street around 1 p.m. to help B.C. Emergency Health Services after the child fell. Ghag said police didn’t know the extent of the child’s injuries and didn’t have an update as of Thursday morning (June 30).
Surrey RCMP is once again reminding people about safety around open windows during the warm summer months.
“It’s a good reminder for anyone with even pets and small children to just make sure they’re not left unattended,” said Ghag.
She added there are safety railings and other products people can get to guard the windows, so a fall can be avoided.
“The screens are so light and flimsy.”

For a not small segment of the audience for “Minions: Rise of Gru,” only one thing really needs to be said. The Minions are in it. That’s enough.
Now five films and 12 years into the “Despicable Me” series, the appeal of the bug-eyed, overalls-wearing, banana-yellow henchmen horde is overwhelming apparent. They have swarmed the planet like that human mob in “World War Z,” spreading a happy cartoon plague that long ago became endemic. The Minions are one of the great second-banana success stories.
And the franchise’s latest installment, “Minions: Rise of Gru,” is smart enough not to reinvent the wheel — even if trying to do so might sound like the kind of job the Minions would love to get a crack at. The outline of the film is a sequel to 2015 “Minions” and “Despicable Me” prequel for Gru (Steve Carell), who here is an 11 3/4-year-old aspiring supervillain. But the coming of age belongs less to Gru than his little army of sidekicks who once again steal the show as they establish their undying allegiance to “Mini Boss.”
The perfunctory storyline centers on Gru reaching for his diabolical dreams, and proving his mettle to an evildoer group called the Vicious 6. We’re in 1976 California. The Vicious 6 has jettisoned its founder, an aged nunchuck-wielding criminal named Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin, a voice so distinctive that it pierces even something this cartoonish). Its new leader, the disco-styled Belle Bottom (Taraji P. Henson), takes possession of a powerful amulet and then holds auditions for new members in the Vicious 6’s San Francisco secret lair beneath a music store called Criminal Records. With hair neatly combed, Gru shows up seeking his big break only to be immediately dismissed as a mere child. In the fallout, Gru and the Minions sneak off with the amulet.
I’m sure you’re just dying to know the fate of that amulet. Thankfully, “Rise of Gru” knows that its MacGuffins are nothing but Minion fodder. More than any previous film, this one feels engineered to enable as much slapstick hijinks for the yellow ones as possible. The plot is mostly just a mechanism for Minion mayhem, allowing them the opportunity to pilot an airliner, learn kung fu from an acupuncturist (Michelle Yeoh) and repeatedly pronounce “San Francisco.”
It’s not a recipe for the greatest movie ever, necessarily, but a far worse sin, in this world of Minion domination, would be to skimp on screen time for the little guys. “Rise of Gru,” directed by franchise veteran Kyle Balda, supplies a brisk and breezy 88-minute Minion morsel to keep the pipsqueak masses sated before the next “Despicable Me” movie. After singling out the trio of Kevin, Stuart and Bob (all voiced by Pierre Coffin), the plump and talkative Otto gets introduced this time.
Along the way, there are plenty of ‘70s needle drops, from the Ramones to Sly and the Family Stone, and even a Linda Ronstadt reference. There’s plenty of affectionate period detail, too, including a Tupperware party and a trip to the movies to see “Jaws.” (The Minions laugh their heads off.) “Rise of Gru” likewise at moments adopts a Blaxploitation vibe or a James Bond opening credit sequence.
If anything, the Minion craze has proven the timeless versatility of the googly-eyed henchmen — a cartoon concoction of childlike slapstick simplicity and eminent pliability. It’s enough to make you curious to imagine the Minions in subsequent decades — on Wall Street in the ’80s, maybe, or head banging at a Nirvana concert in 1990s Seattle.
“Minions: Rise of Gru,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some action/violence and rude humor. Running time: 88 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

(KXAN) — Cities across the U.S. are seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases comes as many prepare to travel over the Fourth of July holiday. Health leaders warn against traveling if you’re sick or have been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you avoid travel if:
- You have COVID-19 symptoms
- You tested positive for COVID-19 and are within a 10-day window of first experiencing symptoms or getting the positive test result
- You are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test
- You had close contact with someone who has COVID-19. The CDC recommends waiting 10 days after exposure to travel but also said people might test negative five days after exposure and wear a mask for the remainder of that 10-day period
You can find all of the CDC’s travel recommendations here.
Traveling domestically
National data from the CDC shows COVID-19 hospitalizations are going up nationwide. Case numbers are also trending upwards, though health leaders have noted because of the prominence of at-home tests, those case numbers are underreported.
A number of counties in states along the West Coast, including in California, are in the CDC’s high-risk category. So is much of Florida, the western border of Louisiana and the Gulf coast-side of Texas. Those risk levels are based on a weekly average of new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 people, percent of inpatient hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients and new COVID-19 admissions to hospitals per 100,000 people.
You can find the community levels for the county you’re traveling to using this CDC tool.
International travel
Just a few weeks ago, the CDC lifted its reentry requirements, meaning you no longer need to provide a negative COVID-19 test to get back into the country. Non-U.S. citizens that intend to simply visit the United States are still required to show proof of vaccination.
The CDC has listed many countries in the high-risk category, meaning they recommend being up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations before traveling. Those countries include France, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica and Italy. You can find the full list here.
There are no countries listed in the “do not travel” category as of Thursday. | https://www.wkrn.com/news/national/when-can-i-travel-after-testing-positive-for-covid/ | 2022-07-01T03:36:10Z | https://www.wkrn.com/news/national/when-can-i-travel-after-testing-positive-for-covid/ | true | 31 |

Women who have gone through menopause have 'hyperintensities' on their brain that raises risk of Alzheimer's and stroke, study finds
- Researchers found that women who have already undergone menopause have more hyperintensities - a small lesion - on their brain
- People who have more on their brain are more likely to develop cognitive conditions like Alzheimer's or suffer a stroke
- Women who undergo menopause earlier in life are more likely to suffer a stroke and cognitive decline at a younger age
- Experts have known there was a link between going through menopause and having cognitive issues, though the mechanism has not been determined
Going through menopause can cause dangerous lesions to form on a woman's brain that even potentially increases her risk of developing Alzheimer's, a new study finds.
Researchers at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) found that when women go through menopause they form hyperintensities on their brain's white matter - increasing their risk of developing a variety of conditions like Alzheimer's or suffering from a stroke.
Every woman will eventually undergo menopause, and the study that finds that once the process begins their likelihood of developing these conditions jumps significantly when compared to men.
Women who undergo the process earlier may also develop the disease earlier in life than those who have menopause later.
Women who have already undergone menopause have more hyperintensities on their brains, and the lesions put them at a higher risk of cognitive decline (file photo)
'White matter hyperintensities increase as the brain ages, and while having them does not mean that a person will develop dementia or have a stroke, larger amounts may increase a person's risk,' Dr Monique Breteler, of the German Center of Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), in Bonn, said in a statement.
'Our results imply that white matter hyperintensities evolve differently for men and women, where menopause or factors that determine when menopause starts, such as variations in the aging process, are defining factors.'
Researchers gathered data from 3,410 people around the age of 54. More than half were women, and 60 percent of female participants had already gone through menopause.
One-third of participants suffered from high blood pressure - with half of cases being categorized as 'uncontrolled'.
Each was given an MRI brain scans to search for hyperintensities and other potential lesions on brain matter.
Researchers found that women who had gone through menopause already had disproportionately higher levels of lesions on their brain.
Postmenopausal women had 30 percent more hyperintensities on their brain than men.
When adjusting for age, women who had already gone through menopause had 51 percent more hyperintensities than a woman of the exact same age that was yet to go through the process.
It has long been reported that some women suffer from cognitive decline while they are undergoing menopause (file photo)
'The results of our study not only show more research is needed to investigate how menopause may be related to the vascular health of the brain,' Breter said.
'They also demonstrate the necessity to account for different health trajectories for men and women, and menopausal status. Our research underscores the importance of sex-specific medicine and more attentive therapy for older women, especially those with vascular risk factors.'
Researchers also found a link between higher blood pressure levels and more hyperintensities as well.
'It has been known that high blood pressure, which affects the small blood vessels in the brain, can lead to an increase in white matter hyperintensities,' Breteler added.
Women often self-report symptoms of cognitive decline when they are undergoing menopause, with nearly half of females reporting symptoms, according to a Brazilian study from 2021.
A 2020 Vanderbilt University study found the same, with Dr Paul Newhouse, a lead researcher, saying: 'These results are important for women's health and contribute to our understanding of why some women are at increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease compared to men.'
Why exactly this is the case has never been determined, but with this study experts now have a strong base to work off of for future research. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10967015/Women-gone-menopause-hyperintensities-raises-risk-Alzheimers.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-01T03:42:55Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10967015/Women-gone-menopause-hyperintensities-raises-risk-Alzheimers.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |
Australian UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski feels history awaits after he beats Max Holloway in their blockbuster trilogy bout this Sunday (AEDT) in Las Vegas.
The Wollongong fighter is hoping to complete a clean sweep of his victories over former titleholder Holloway in the co-main event of UFC 276.
Volkanovski has won all 11 of his UFC fights, first beating the American in 2019 to claim the 145-pound title.
The Australian won the rematch the following year in a controversial split decision and has successfully defended his belt four times since.
Holloway earned a third fight after back-to-back wins but Volkanovski said once he made it a whitewash on Sunday he was moving on.
There have only been four fighters in the UFC who have held world titles in two different weight classes simultaneously and Volkanovski wants to join that elite party, eyeing the lightweight (155lb) title.
"I've got a job to do and I'm going to go do it but I'm definitely eyeing off that division - I want to hold two belts," the 33-year-old said.
"I've got goals and I've got a challenge Saturday but I'm going to pass it, again, and that's it.
"And then I'm going to call for that double champ status."
The last time the pair fought was during the COVID-19 pandemic on Fight Island but Holloway is already looking to get his home crowd involved this time.
He played up to the crowd at the pre-fight press conference, who jeered Volkanovski with boos.
"Talking about three, this guy is talking about a three-peat or something - this guy don't even got (sic) three highlights in the UFC," said Holloway, whose record is 23-6.
That drew a smile from Volkanovski: "Oh, Max came to play - I love it, I feed off it, bring it on."
The Australian has vowed to get off to a fast start and test Holloway's legendary chin, but the American didn't think Volkanovski was up to it.
"All week, all I've heard is you guys talking about damage," Holloway said.
"I'm known for taking damage and he's known for not giving it."
Volkanovski said that would be decided in the octagon.
"We're going to see Saturday night, right?" he said.
"That's the beauty of it. That's why you can't spar anymore because you're punched in the head too much."
The Australian did give Holloway credit for fighting his way into a third bout.
"He's getting another chance because he was being stubborn and made sure no one else got that No.1 spot so he gets his shot," Volkanovski said.
"He's going to have my respect for that, but that's it. It's just a third chance and he ain't going to get it." | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/boxing/volkanovski-looks-beyond-next-ufc-fight-c-7369310 | 2022-07-01T03:44:59Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/boxing/volkanovski-looks-beyond-next-ufc-fight-c-7369310 | true | 4 |
The Nigeria Labour Congress on Thursday said it would hold a one – day national protest to force the Federal Government to meet the demands of university-based unions.
The congress noted that reports from a meeting of its Central Working Committee showed lack of progress in the negotiation with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and National Association of Academic Technologists.
The President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba, spoke in Abuja during the opening of the National Executive Council meeting of the Congress.
Wabba directed all the affiliate unions of the NLC to issue directives on the planned one-day national protest from next week.
“I think there is reluctance in addressing this issue (of strike) and therefore, CWC has decided that there will be a one-day national protest to call the attention of the government to resolve the issue immediately. After that, the next decision of the CWC will take place,” he said.
He however did not disclose when the national protest will hold.
Wabba also lamented the present fuel crisis in the country, while adding that the congress is studying the sack of teachers by the Kaduna State Government.
Meanwhile, the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities has urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Thursday to expedite the process of resolving ongoing disputes between the government and the unions.
The chairman of the committee, Prof Samuel Edoumiekumo, made the call during the launch of the intellectual property policy document for universities in Abuja.
“We plead that drastic action is taken to stem the haemorrhage that the system is currently witnessing. For the sake of our children and our society, we need the decision,” he said. | https://punchng.com/nlc-plans-one-day-protest-over-asuu-strike-others/ | 2022-07-01T03:52:46Z | https://punchng.com/nlc-plans-one-day-protest-over-asuu-strike-others/ | false | 1 |

A globetrotting Accrington Stanley fan who has attended more than 4,000 football matches since the mid-60s has penned a book sharing his extraordinary love of the beautiful game.
Tony Robinson’s sporting passion is the stuff of local legend - particularly his interest in South American football which saw him co-found the infamous Boca Juniors team, named after his favourite Argentinian club - that competed in Accrington four decades ago.
It also inspired the title - ‘life without football is not life’ in Spanish - of the 71-year-old’s book, which itself only came about as “something to do” when lockdown brought football at every level to a shuddering halt.

Tony, a former geography and history teacher from Oswaldtwistle, explains that ‘La vida sin futbol no es vida’ was a slogan emblazoned on a 120m long banner he saw among supporters from the city of Mendoza; there is apparently even talk of a tribute version for the Stanley Ultras!
Tony, who taught at Moorhead High School for 23 years along with many years as a supply teacher at Hollins and St Christopher’s schools, has attended an average of over 70 professional and semi-pro games every season since the age of 14 - with key details of each and every one diligently recorded in school exercise books.
“I kept the score and attendance from the start of the 65/66 season,” he told Lancs Live. “4,033 games up to lockdown. When lockdown started, for reference I thought I will get them all together and write them up into a book.
“Whilst I was doing it I made a little note if anything interesting happened in the game. That took me about three months. Lockdown came to an end and eased off during the summer, so I showed quite a few of my friends these stats and they said ‘you must have some interesting stories to tell’. When we went back into lockdown that winter I thought ‘why not?’
“Four and a half months later I had about 75,000 words!”
Tony, of Roegreave Road, was a Claret for the first 40 years of his life, only to convert to his home town club when they reached the Conference. He says he is more of an ardent fan of the game than any particular club, having watched the sport in many far-flung climes.
“I’ve seen football in every continent except Africa,” he says.
“I go all over. Uruguay, Chile, 36 games in Argentina; two of the 36 ended in riots! I fell in love with Buenos Aires the first time I went. I would go abroad to watch football - often on my own. Then one or two came with me; we made trips to Communist Eastern Europe, to Bulgaria. We caught the train to Sofia, which was a 72-hour train journey. It’s the whole occasion that I like. A lot of [the book] is travel stories and I talk about incidents that happened before or after the games.”
He added: “I’ve been all over the world following cricket, but I never kept records of cricket like football - and I don’t want it to be like war and peace!”
The foreword to ‘La vida sin futbol no es vida’ is provided by Stanley legend former top flight striker Brett Ormerod. A launch night at Tony’s local - the Stop & Rest - was attended by an audience including 20 former pupils and half a dozen former school colleagues, and shifted 85 copies.
“My plan was to sell it to friends and wait for their reaction of what they think of it, said Tony, who has published and promoted the book along with greatly valued help from friends. “If the reaction is positive enough I’ll think about selling it on a more professional basis.”
The Boca Juniors team, which Tony formed with friend Dave Rodgers after returning from university at St Andrew’s, competed for six “excellent” seasons in the Accrington Combination League and caused a stir due to an ultra defensive style inspired by great Italian and Argentine sides of the era. Back in 2016, the Accrington Observer reported on a reunion of their players exactly 40 years after their first match.

Biggest test of workplace pension savings drive yet to come, say experts
The coronavirus pandemic has not derailed the drive to encourage people to save into workplace pensions, experts have said.
But they warned the “biggest test is yet to come”, with the cost-of-living crisis potentially increasing the risk that more pension savers could opt out.
Nearly nine in 10 (88%) eligible employees, or around 20 million, were participating in a workplace pension in 2021, according to Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) figures released on Tuesday.
Overall trends in participation have increased since 2012, the year that automatic enrolment into workplace pensions started.
This has been driven by the private sector, while public sector participation has remained high, the DWP said.
Covid didn't derail auto-enrolment, but the biggest test is yet to come with the all-consuming cost-of-living crisis
Kate Smith, AegonThe highest levels of both private and public sector pension participation in 2021 were seen among larger employers.
Participation rates among employees of smaller firms in the private sector have increased since 2012 but there is a persistent gap in participation rates compared with other sized employers, the DWP said.
Across the whole economy, participation rates for eligible employees in 2021 were highest among people aged 40 to 49 (90%) and lowest for people aged 22 to 29 (86%).
There had been a general downward trend in workplace pension participation among eligible employees between 2009 and 2012, from 58% (11.4 million eligible employees) to 55% (10.7 million eligible employees).
Helen Morrissey, senior pensions and retirement analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown , said: “The pandemic has brought financial turmoil for many people, with concerns we could see people forced to stop their pension contributions as they struggle to make ends meet.
So far, we've seen no dramatic spike in the number of people making an active decision to stop their pension contributions
Helen Morrissey, Hargreaves Lansdown“So far, we’ve seen no dramatic spike in the number of people making an active decision to stop their pension contributions in 2021/22, with only 0.6% of eligible employees opting to do so – the same level as the previous year and slightly below pre-pandemic levels.
“However, while we may have weathered one storm, the challenges continue, and whether people can commit to keeping their pension contributions going as we face the biggest cost-of-living crisis in living memory remains to be seen.”
Kate Smith , head of pensions at Aegon , said: “Covid didn’t derail auto-enrolment, but the biggest test is yet to come with the all-consuming cost-of-living crisis.
“There’s a real risk that employees could be tempted to stop their pension contributions, as they make stressed financial decisions to make ends meet.
“This is likely to lead to employer contributions also stopping, so should be a last resort.”
(We) would always encourage individuals to make such financial decisions based on their personal circumstances
Phil Brown, B&CEPhil Brown, director of policy at B&CE, provider of the People’s Pension, said: “Throughout the pandemic, workplace pension opt-out and cessation rates stayed relatively stable and we expect that to remain the case during the current cost-of-living crisis.
“While we champion the very many benefits of workplace pensions, they won’t always be an option for everybody, so would always encourage individuals to make such financial decisions based on their personal circumstances.”
Minister for pensions Guy Opperman said: “It’s encouraging to see that, despite the considerable challenges of the last few years, overall participation in workplace pensions among eligible employees has remained stable and total contributions have increased in real terms.
“Thanks to the success of automatic enrolment, a record number of Brits are now saving for retirement and our ambition for the future of AE (automatic enrolment) will enable even more people to save more and to start saving earlier.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2650194666350/biggest-test-of-workplace-pension-savings-drive-yet-to-come-say-experts | 2022-07-01T04:35:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2650194666350/biggest-test-of-workplace-pension-savings-drive-yet-to-come-say-experts | false | 8 |

GAUHATI, India (AP) — Rescuers found two more bodies as they resumed clearing operations after an overnight halt looking for nearly 70 missing people after a mudslide triggered by weeks of heavy downpours killed at least 16 people at a railroad construction site in India's northeast, officials said Friday.
More than 200 disaster response workers and police are using earth-clearing equipment like bulldozers to rescue those buried under the debris in Noney, a town near Imphal, the capital of Manipur state. But the terrain is making it difficult to move heavy equipment, said H. Guite, district magistrate, adding that he has asked for reinforcements.
Intermittent rain continues in the region.
Sixteen bodies have been recovered so far after a hillock caved in and buried the railroad project area, Guite told The Associated Press.
A flowing river has been blocked by the debris creating a dam-like structure in the area, he said. People living nearby have been asked to move to safe areas, media reports said.
Seven of the confirmed dead were members of the Territorial Army, state chief minister N. Biren Singh said. He said five Indian Railway officials were among those feared missing.
Because there is a rebel insurgency in the area, army personnel were there providing security for the railway officials. The state’s decades-old insurgency seeks a separate homeland for ethnic and tribal groups.
Most of the victims were sleeping when the landslide hit the area early Thursday. Some survivors recalled being swept down by the gush of the hill debris, The Times of India daily cited Daichuipao, a resident, as saying.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he reviewed the situation with local authorities. "Assured all possible support from the Centre (federal government)," he tweeted.
Continuous rainfall over the past three weeks has wreaked havoc across India's northeast — which has eight states and 45 million people — and in neighboring Bangladesh.
An estimated 200 people have been killed in heavy downpours and mudslides in states including Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Sikkim, while 42 people have died in Bangladesh since May 17. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced.
Scientists say climate change is a factor behind the erratic, early rains that triggered the unprecedented floods. Monsoon rains in South Asia typically begin in June, but torrential rain lashed northeastern India and Bangladesh as early as March this year.
With rising global temperatures due to climate change, experts say the monsoon season is becoming more variable, meaning that much of the rain that would typically fall throughout the season arrives in a shorter period. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Mudslide-leaves-16-dead-over-70-missing-in-17278295.php | 2022-07-01T04:35:15Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Mudslide-leaves-16-dead-over-70-missing-in-17278295.php | true | 32 |
DOVER: On a bright moonlit night, a team of scientists and volunteers head out to a protected beach along the Delaware Bay to survey horseshoe crabs that spawn in their millions along the US East Coast from late spring to early summer.
The group make their way up the shoreline laying a measuring frame on the sand, counting the individuals inside it to help generate a population estimate, and setting right those unfortunate enough to have been flipped onto their backs by the high tide.
With their helmet-like shells, tails that resemble spikes and five pairs of legs connected to their mouths, horseshoe crabs, or Limulidae, aren´t immediately endearing.
But if you´ve ever had a vaccine in your life, you have these weird sea animals to thank: their bright blue blood, which clots in the presence of harmful bacterial components called endotoxins, has been essential for testing the safety of biomedical products since the 1970s, when it replaced rabbit testing.
"They´re really easy to love, once you understand them," Laurel Sullivan, who works for the state government to educate members of the public about the invertebrates, tells AFP.
"They´re not threatening at all. They´re just going about their day, trying to make more horseshoe crabs."
For 450 million years, these otherworldly creatures have patrolled the planet´s oceans, while dinosaurs arose and went extinct, and early fish transitioned to the land animals that would eventually give rise to humans.
Now, though, the "living fossils" are listed as vulnerable in America and endangered in Asia, as a result of habitat loss and overharvesting for use in food, bait, and the pharmaceutical industry, which is on a major growth path, especially in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
Recruiting citizen scientists helps engage the public while also scaling up the government´s data collection efforts, explains the survey project´s environment scientist Taylor Beck.
"Crabs" are something of a misnomer for the animals, which are in fact more closely related to spiders and scorpions, and are made up of four subspecies: one that inhabits the Eastern and Gulf coasts of North America, and the other three in Southeast Asia.
Atlantic horseshoe crabs have 10 eyes and feed by crushing up food, such as worms and clams, between their legs then passing the food to their mouths.
Males are noticeably smaller than females, whom they swarm in groups of up to 15 when breeding. Males grasp females as they head to shore, where the females deposit golf ball-size clusters of 5,000 eggs for the males to spray their sperm on.
Millions of these eggs, tiny green balls, are inadvertently churned up onto the beach surface, where they are a vital food source for migrating shorebirds, including the near-threatened Red Knot.
Nivette Perez-Perez, manager of community science at the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, points out a vast band of eggs that stretch nearly the whole beach at the James Farm Ecological Preserve.
As she gestures, aptly-named laughing gulls with bright orange beaks swoop down to feast.
Like others in the area, Perez-Perez long ago succumbed to the crabs´ charms.
"You´re so cute," she tells a female she has picked up to point out its anatomical features.
Breeding is a dangerous business for horseshoe crabs as it´s on the beach that they are at their most vulnerable: as the tide washes in, some end up on their backs, and while their long hard tails can help some right themselves, not all are so lucky.
Around 10 percent of the population is lost each year as their exposed undersides bake in the Sun.
In 1998, Glenn Gauvry, founder of the Ecological Research & Development Group, helped start the "Just flip ´em" campaign, encouraging members of the public to do their part by gently picking up upturned crabs that are still alive.
"Where it matters most of all, is changing the heart," he tells AFP on Delaware Bay´s Pickering Beach, proudly sporting a "Just flip ´em" baseball cap festooned with horseshoe crab pins.
"If we can´t get people to care and to connect to these animals, then they´re less likely to want legislation to protect them."
Every year around 500,000 horseshoe crabs are harvested and bled for a chemical called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate, vital for testing against a type of bacteria that can contaminate medications, needles and devices like hip replacements.
Estimates place the mortality rate of the process at 15 percent, with survivors released back to sea.
A new synthetic alternative called recombinant factor C appears promising, but faces regulatory challenges.
Horseshoe crabs are a "finite source with a potentially infinite demand, and those two things are mutually exclusive," Allen Burgenson, of Swiss biotech Lonza, which makes the new test, told AFP.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has officiated the swearing-in ceremony of Hong Kong’s new leader as the city marked the 25th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule after being pulled in recent years under much tighter Communist Party control.
John Lee, a former security official who oversaw the crackdown on dissent in the city since 2019 pro-democracy protests, pledged to uphold the city’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law, and bear allegiance to Hong Kong. He also pledged to be accountable to the central government in Beijing.
His inauguration followed a morning flag-raising ceremony attended by Mr Lee, outgoing city leader Carrie Lam and several hundred other people. Mr Xi, who is making his first trip off the mainland in two-and-a-half years, was not present at the ceremony.
On his arrival Thursday, Xi told well-wishers that Hong Kong has overcome many challenges over the years and had been “reborn from the ashes” with “vigorous vitality,” in an apparent allusion to the 2019 pro-democracy protests, which were followed by a sweeping crackdown on dissent that has transformed the economic hub once known for its political and civic freedoms.
The flag-raising ceremony was held amid strong winds, and police officers carrying the Chinese and Hong Kong flags marched into the Golden Bauhinia Square for the ceremony with the Chinese goose-stepping style, replacing a British-style march. Guests stood at attention as the Chinese national anthem was played.
Mr Xi last visited Hong Kong in 2017 for the July 1 celebrations, during which he warned that there would be no tolerance for any activities seen as threatening China’s sovereignty and stability.
The months of pro-democracy protests in 2019 were seen by China’s ruling Communist Party as just such a threat, and Mr Xi in remarks on Thursday evening praised Lam for ending chaos that had gripped the city and for ensuring that only “patriots” would rule Hong Kong.
Since the protests, Beijing and Hong Kong authorities drafted a national security law that was then used to arrest scores of activists, media figures and democracy supporters; introduced a more patriotic curriculum in schools; and revamped election laws to keep opposition politicians out of the city’s Legislature.
The changes have all but eliminated dissenting voices in the city and have driven many to leave. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/01/chinas-xi-jinping-swears-in-new-hong-kong-leader-john-lee/ | 2022-07-01T04:42:21Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/01/chinas-xi-jinping-swears-in-new-hong-kong-leader-john-lee/ | false | 21 |

In a surprising and seismic shift in college athletics, the Big Ten voted Thursday to add Southern California and UCLA as conference members beginning in 2024.
The expansion to 16 teams will happen after the Pac-12's current media rights contracts with Fox and ESPN expire and make the Big Ten the first conference to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The announcement, which caught the Pac-12 off-guard, came almost a year after Oklahoma and Texas formally accepted invitations to join the Southeastern Conference in July 2025.
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said USC and UCLA, both members of the Pac-12 and its previous iterations for nearly a century, submitted applications for membership and the league's Council of Presidents and Chancellors voted unanimously to add the Los Angeles schools.
"Ultimately, the Big Ten is the best home for USC and Trojan athletics as we move into the new world of collegiate sports," USC athletic director Mike Bohn said. "We are excited that our values align with the league's member institutions. We also will benefit from the stability and strength of the conference; the athletic caliber of Big Ten institutions; the increased visibility, exposure, and resources the conference will bring our student-athletes and programs; and the ability to expand engagement with our passionate alumni nationwide."
The Big Ten is building on previous expansion into the nation's largest media markets, and the move allows the conference to keep pace with the SEC as one of the most powerful entities in college sports.
The Big Ten will gain blueblood programs in football (USC) and basketball (UCLA) and big-name brands that will enhance the value of the conference's new media rights package currently being negotiated.
Losing flagship schools like USC and UCLA is a major blow to the Pac-12, which has had a long and amicable relationship with the Big Ten best exemplified by its Rose Bowl partnership.
"While we are extremely surprised and disappointed by the news coming out of UCLA and USC today, we have a long and storied history in athletics, academics, and leadership in supporting student-athletes that we're confident will continue to thrive and grow into the future," the Pac-12 said in a statement.
The Pac-12's next move is unknown, but adding schools to replace USC and UCLA is a possibility.
"We look forward to partnering with current and potential members to pioneer the future of college athletics together," the Pac-12 said.
The Big Ten has expanded twice in recent years, with Nebraska joining in 2011 and Maryland and Rutgers in 2014.
USC and UCLA fit the Big Ten's academic profile. Both schools are among the 65 members of the Association of American Universities, which is made up of top research universities. All Big Ten schools except Nebraska are members.
"From increased exposure and a broader national platform for our student-athletes, to enhanced resources for our teams, this move will help preserve the legacy of UCLA Athletics for generations to come," UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond said.
"We have deeply valued our membership in the Pac-12, and we have great respect for the conference and our fellow member institutions, but each school faces its own unique challenges and circumstances. We believe this is the right move for UCLA at the right time."
USC and UCLA stand to significantly increase their revenues. The Pac-12 distributed only $19.8 million per school in fiscal year 2021, by far the least among Power 5 conferences. The Big Ten's per-school distribution was $46.1 million, second only to the SEC's $54.6 million.
The Pac-12 has had difficulty getting its conference television network untracked while the Big Ten Network is the most established of the conference networks.
USC and UCLA would be taking a step up in football, both in visibility and competition.
"Pac-12 After Dark" televised games that kick off in the middle to late evenings in most of the country have made it difficult for the conference to get exposure. The Pac-12 has had teams in the College Football Playoff just twice — Oregon (2014 season) and Washington (2016).
USC President Carol L. Folt said she and university leaders considered the coast-to-coast travel that will come with competing in the Big Ten. Nebraska is the westernmost school in the conference now, and Lincoln is almost 1,500 miles from Los Angeles. Rutgers, the easternmost Big Ten school, is a nearly 5 1/2-hour flight from LA.
"We are fortunate we can spend the next two years working with the conference on travel and scheduling plans," Folt said.
The Big Ten, Pac-12 and Atlantic Coast Conference last August formed an alliance in the wake of Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC. The conferences said the 41 members would take a collaborative approach to charting the future of athletics. The three conferences set up scheduling arrangements in some sports and have pooled resources to promote athlete welfare.
Less than a year later, the future of the alliance would appear bleak with the Big Ten taking two of the Pac-12′s biggest brands.
USC and UCLA will be severing longstanding conference relationships. USC joined California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington and Washington State in the Pacific Coast Conference in 1922, followed by UCLA in 1928.
They went together in 1959 to the Athletic Association of Western Universities, which became the Pac-8 in 1968, the Pac-10 in 1978 and Pac-12 in 2011.

The NBA generated more basketball-related income than ever this past season, the total number coming up just short of $9 billion.
Business is good. The first night of free agency underscored how good.
Nikola Jokic agreed to the biggest contract in NBA history, Bradley Beal agreed to a deal worth a quarter-billion dollars, and the money just kept flowing. Shortly after midnight Friday in the Eastern time zone, three more players — Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker and Ja Morant — also agreed to huge-money extensions.
Towns and Booker agreed to four-year deals that will commence in 2024 and are worth at least $224 million, their agent, Jessica Holtz of CAA, said. Morant will sign his first rookie extension, one that’ll be worth at least $193 million and could reach the $230 million range, according to Tandem Sports, which represents him.
Those five players — Jokic, Beal, Towns, Booker and Morant — had more than $1.1 billion in money committed to them in their new deals, highlighting the moves made Thursday when the NBA’s annual free-agent negotiating window opened.
Jokic agreed to a supermax extension to remain with the Denver Nuggets, the two-time reigning MVP guaranteeing himself at least $264 million over five seasons starting with the 2023-24 campaign. The final number may go up slightly depending on what the league’s salary cap is going into the ‘23-24 season and if it exceeds current projections.
Beal will make $251 million over the next five seasons after re-signing with Washington, one day after turning down $37 million for this coming season from the team with whom he’s spent the entirety of his 10-year career.
Towns and Booker got their deals not long afterward, as did Morant. More big-money extensions are coming at some point, particularly rookie extensions — Miami’s Tyler Herro and New Orleans’ Zion Williamson among the names on that list.
All those moves, even the biggest-money ones, were overshadowed by a piece of non-free-agent news that came earlier Thursday when Kevin Durant, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation, told the Brooklyn Nets that he wanted a trade. That undoubtedly had some sort of an impact on the decisions some teams were making, or were considering, with the surprise development that one of the world’s elite players is looking for a new place to play.
Jokic and Beal have signed lucrative contracts before. For some, the ones they get this summer will be their first.
Jalen Brunson, as had been widely speculated given his deep ties to the Knicks — his father played there, for starters — agreed to sign with New York, on a deal that ESPN reported would be worth $104 million over four years. He had earned about $6 million, total, in his four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and saw his value soar by averaging 21.6 points in 18 playoff games this past season.
Anfernee Simons, who had a breakout season for the injury-plagued Portland Trail Blazers last year — taking advantage of his opportunity, and then some — agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract to remain with that club. And Lu Dort, undrafted three years ago and someone who made about $4 million combined in his three seasons with Oklahoma City, will stay with the Thunder for the next five years on a deal worth nearly $88 million.
NBA NUMBERS
The NBA set the new salary cap, luxury tax and other numbers that will be used this coming season and go into effect Friday.
The cap is $123.655 million, the tax level is $150.267 million. The minimum team salary level is $111.29 million and the exceptions were set as wel. The non-taxpayer mid-level is $10.49 million, taxpayer mid-level is $6.479 million, and the mid-level for a team with room under the cap is $5.401 million.
TUCKER TO PHILADELPHIA
P.J. Tucker is reuniting with Philadelphia general manager Daryl Morey and — assuming he re-signs, as planned — James Harden as well. Tucker agreed Thursday to a three-year deal with the 76ers for $33 million. Morey, Tucker and Harden were together with the Houston Rockets; Harden declared free agency Wednesday with the intention of coming back to Philadelphia. Tucker won a title with Milwaukee in 2021 and helped Miami to the Eastern Conference finals in 2022.
MCGEE CHOOSES MAVERICKS
Dallas and JaVale McGee — a three-time NBA champion and an Olympic gold medalist as well — agreed on a contract for two seasons and a third at McGee’s option worth about $20 million. McGee has played for eight NBA teams and is heading to Dallas for a second time; he played 34 games there in 2015-16.
PORTIS, INGLES TO BUCKS
Bobby Portis (four years, $49 million) is returning to Milwaukee, and the Bucks are adding veteran guard Joe Ingles as well. Ingles is signing a one-year deal, according to his wife, Renae Ingles, who tweeted that “CEO of the house, Renae Ingles, is thrilled for Joe and their family.”
HEAT DECISIONS
Miami will retain Victor Oladipo on a one-year, $11 million deal and Dewayne Dedmon on a two-year deal for about $9 million, though the second year has conditional protections.
MAGIC KEEPING HARRIS
Gary Harris signed with the Orlando Magic, the team said, with the sides agreeing on two years for $26 million for the guard. The Magic are also keeping center Mo Bamba on a two-year deal.
RAPTORS MOVES
Toronto is keeping forwards Chris Boucher (three years, $36 million) and Thaddeus Young (two years, $16 million).
BAGLEY STAYING
Detroit moved quickly to lock up restricted free agent Marvin Bagley III, agreeing to keep him with a three-year, $37 million deal.
WRIGHT TO WIZARDS
In addition to keeping Beal, the Wizards also agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with guard Delon Wright.

DEAR ABBY: I may stop going to an auto mechanic I have used for several years because of mistakes he made diagnosing problems on my daughter's friend's car. He advised her to get another car, but a different mechanic replaced the spark plugs and the catalytic converter, and the car is fine. Should I tell him why I'm not coming back or just drive off into the sunset and let it go?
— FIXING TO CHANGE IN OHIO
DEAR FIXING: Let it go. If the mechanic contacts you and asks why he hasn't seen you, tell him the truth — that you no longer trust his judgment after the bum steer he gave your daughter's friend. | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/arts_and_culture/advice/if-i-switch-mechanics-do-i-owe-anyone-an-explanation/article_a3757fe4-f8af-11ec-87c6-bb6492eb691c.html | 2022-07-01T04:57:41Z | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/arts_and_culture/advice/if-i-switch-mechanics-do-i-owe-anyone-an-explanation/article_a3757fe4-f8af-11ec-87c6-bb6492eb691c.html | false | null |
How to easily remove location when sharing photos from Apple iPhone
Apple iPhone comes with a powerful camera setup that is capable of taking stunning photos and video. When a photo is captured using a smartphone, a lot of the information gets attached to the image, including the hardware, software, and location information, among others.
The information stored in the photo remains even when you share the images with someone else. While it makes it easier to organize the media, it may not be a good option for privacy.
Apple has introduced a feature that allows users to remove the location information from the photos at the time of sharing to ensure the user’s privacy.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily remove the location information from the photos on your Apple iPhone before you share them with your friends and family.
How to remove location when sharing photos on Apple iPhone
Step 1: Open the Photos application on your Apple iPhone.
Step 2: When the app opens, find the photo that you want to share. If you want to share multiple photos, then tap on “Select” at the top-right corner and select the photos.
Step 3: After selecting the photos for sharing, tap on the Share button from the bottom-left corner.
Step 4: When the share menu appears, tap on the “Options” from the top of the screen.
Step 5: On the “Options” settings screen, toggle the switch OFF for the Location and then tap the “Done” button.
That’s it. Once you have followed this step-by-step guide, you can share the selected photos in any way that you see fit, using any of the messaging applications or via AirDrop. The location details from the photos will be removed when you share them with someone else. If you find yourself doing this often, then you can disable the location for the photos and video so that you don’t have to manually remove the location details from them at the time of sharing. | https://www.mobigyaan.com/remove-location-photos-sharing-apple-iphone | 2022-07-01T04:58:40Z | https://www.mobigyaan.com/remove-location-photos-sharing-apple-iphone | false | 1 |
South Korean electronics giant Samsung and American coffee house multinational Starbucks have released a unique collaboration, featuring an array of cases with thematic designs for Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, S22 Ultra and Galaxy Buds.
This is only the latest collaboration in Samsung’s long history of partnerships with other brands. Samsung collaborated with Pokemon to create Pikachu and Poke ball merchandise for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 in April 2022.

About the Samsung X Starbucks accessories collection
Samsung Galaxy Buds case design
The cases for the Galaxy Buds are the highlight of the association and are available in two types. One features the famous Starbucks logo of the twin-tailed mermaid (or siren, as some believe) on a normal protective case in the brand colour of the coffee chain.
The other is pretty unique — the case is designed like a mini Starbucks coffee mug, complete with latte art and the logo of the brand.
Since Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds Live share nearly identical charging cases, the Samsung X Starbucks cases are compatible with all three.
Thematic straps on phone cases
Galaxy phone cases are in adorable green colours, matching the hues of the Starbucks brand. Some cases incorporate the strap design. There is one with a Starbucks receipt strap on the back of the case.
Another has a strap designed to resemble the Starbucks apron that the baristas of the chain wear.
There are also two case designs without straps for those who find straps uncomfortable for use. One of the cases simply bears an embossed logo of the brand, while the other has the slogan “Count Stars in Your Galaxy.”
According to Samsung, all Starbucks-themed accessories are made using eco-friendly materials.
The Samsung X Starbucks accessories were released on 28 June. But the limited collection is currently available only in South Korea. It is not clear if the brands will launch it in other markets. | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/gear/tech/samsung-starbucks-collaboration-phone-and-buds-cases/ | 2022-07-01T04:59:51Z | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/gear/tech/samsung-starbucks-collaboration-phone-and-buds-cases/ | true | 5 |
Russian missile strikes kill 17 in Ukraine's Odesa region - authorities
July 1 (Reuters) - Russian missiles struck a nine-story apartment building and a resort facility near Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa early on Friday, killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens, Ukrainian authorities said.
One missile struck the building in the town of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi at about 1 a.m. (2200 GMT Thursday), killing 14 people, the emergencies ministry said in a statement. It also wounded 30 people and caused a fire in an attached store building.
Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odesa regional administration, told Ukrainian state television that a rescue operation was under way as some people remained buried under the rubble after a section of the building collapsed.
Another missile hit a resort facility, Bratchuk said, killing at least three people including a child and wounding one more person. Reuters could not independently confirm details of the incident.

UCLA and USC are planning to move to the Big Ten conference in 2024. Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News was the first to report it, while Pete Thamel of ESPN confirmed that their application had been accepted. The respective schools also officially announced that they'll be moving to the Big Ten for the start of the 2024 season.
The departure from the Pac-12 comes in the wake of USC's hiring of former Oklahoma head football coach Lincoln Riley. The hope for the Trojans is that the change of coach and a move to a more competitive conference will earn them a bid to the college football playoff and eventually a national championship.
The move comes as the Big Ten and SEC continue to out-earn the rest of the Power Five conferences, largely due to private contracts with media networks ESPN and Fox Sports.
Navigate Entertainment and Sports Research projects that in 2022 the Big Ten is projected to make 57.2 million dollars, the SEC 54.3 million dollars and the Big 12 40.6 million dollars with the Pac-12 ranking second to last, making 34.4 million dollars.
The departure of the LA schools from the Pac-12 is likely the first of other shifts that will occur in the college sports conference landscape.
The reshaping of conferences as schools jockey for more competitive schedules to garner college football playoff bids and recruiting clout suggest a future formation of a two-conference system as the two major broadcasters of college sports and their affiliate networks work with the Power Five conferences to reach agreements.
Already, many project Oregon to look for more competitive and lucrative options for conferences to play in with the Big Ten and Big 12 projected to land the Ducks. | https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/ucla-usc-will-move-to-big-ten-in-2024/article_8e3dd45c-f8d0-11ec-a4a7-4b324853275b.html | 2022-07-01T05:02:42Z | https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/ucla-usc-will-move-to-big-ten-in-2024/article_8e3dd45c-f8d0-11ec-a4a7-4b324853275b.html | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Thursday the Biden administration can scrap a Trump-era immigration policy to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration courts, a victory for a White House that still must address the growing number of people seeking refuge at America's southern border.
The ruling will have little immediate impact because the policy has been seldom applied under President Joe Biden, who reinstated it under a court order in December. It was his predecessor, Donald Trump, who launched the "Remain in Mexico" policy and fully embraced it.
Two conservative justices joined their three liberal colleagues in siding with the White House.
Under Trump, the program enrolled about 70,000 people after it was launched in 2019. Biden suspended the policy, formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols on his first day in office in January 2021. But lower courts ordered it reinstated in response to a lawsuit from Republican-led Texas and Missouri.
Dynamics at the border have changed considerably since "Remain in Mexico" was a centerpiece of Trump's border policies.
Another Trump-era policy that remains in effect and was not a part of Thursday's ruling allows the government to quickly expel migrants without a chance to ask for asylum, casting aside U.S. law and an international treaty on grounds of containing the spread of COVID-19. There have been more than 2 million expulsions since the pandemic-era rule, known as Title 42 authority, was introduced in March 2020.
In May, a federal judge in Louisiana prevented the Biden administration from halting Title 42, in a case that may ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
The heart of the legal fight in the immigration case was about whether U.S. immigration authorities, with far less detention capacity than needed, had to send people to Mexico or whether those authorities had the discretion under federal law to release asylum-seekers into the United States while they awaited their hearings.
After Biden's suspension of the program, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ended it in June 2021. In October, the department produced additional justifications for the policy's demise, but that was to no avail in the courts.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that an appeals court "erred in holding that the" federal Immigration and Nationality Act "required the Government to continue implementing MPP." Joining the majority opinion was fellow conservative Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump-appointee, as well as liberal justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
Kavanaugh also wrote separately and noted that in general, when there is insufficient detention capacity, both releasing asylum-seekers into the United States and sending them back to Mexico "are legally permissible options under the immigration statutes."
The Department of Homeland Security said it welcomed the ruling and that it will "continue our efforts to terminate the program as soon as legally permissible." It added in a statement that it continues to enforce Title 42 and "our immigration laws at the border and administer consequences for those who enter unlawfully."
Cornell University law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration expert, said the Biden administration does not need to take any further action to end the policy, but that Texas and Missouri can pursue a challenge over whether the administration followed appropriate procedure in ending the program.
In a dissent for himself and fellow conservatives Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the practice of releasing "untold numbers of aliens" into the United States "violates the clear terms of the law, but the court looks the other way." Justice Amy Coney Barrett said she agreed with the majority's analysis of the merits of the case but would have sent the case back to a lower court for reconsideration.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement that the decision was "unfortunate." He argued it would make "the border crisis worse. But it's not the end. I'll keep pressing forward and focus on securing the border and keeping our communities safe in the dozen other immigration suits I'm litigating in court." Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, said the decision would "only embolden the Biden Administration's open border policies."
Since December, the administration has registered only 7,259 migrants in "Remain in Mexico." U.S. authorities stopped migrants 1.2 million times on the Mexico border from December through May, illustrating the policy's limited impact under Biden.
About 6 of every 10 people in the program are Nicaraguans. The administration has said it would apply the policy to nationalities that are less likely to be subject to the broader Title 42 policy. Strained diplomatic relations with Nicaragua makes it extremely difficult for the U.S. to expel people back to their homeland under Title 42.
Immigrant advocates acknowledged that a relatively small number of asylum seekers arriving on the southwest border are affected by the MPP program with which the court ruling dealt. Still, advocates and Democrats were among those cheering the decision as were those waiting in Mexico.
Oscar Rene Cruz, a taxi driver from Nicaragua who is in a Salvation Army Shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, said after the ruling: "We are all very happy, waiting to see what is going to happen now with us, we know the program has finished but we haven't been told what they are going to do with us."
Cruz added: "I wish this will be over soon. Nobody wants to stay here" in Mexico.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington Democrat, said in a statement that those "fleeing violence and persecution to seek asylum —as they are entitled to by law —should not be forced to remain in places that have been deemed dangerous and unsafe while they wait for their day in court."
Jacob Lichtenbaum, staff attorney for the immigrant rights group CASA in Maryland, called the ruling a "major victory for safety, compassion, and the rule of law."
But Rep. John Katko of New York, the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, said the program was a critical tool to help manage arrivals on the southwest border and the current administration lacks a plan to address the issue.

Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards have agreed on a five-year contract that could pay him as much as $251 million — one of the largest contracts in NBA history.
Beal’s announcement was made by his agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports. The decision came almost immediately after this season’s NBA free agent negotiating window opened Thursday, and is a max-value deal.
There have been other contracts with a bit higher value: Damian Lillard’s most recent extension in Portland three years ago pushed his existing contract value to $257 million, for example, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic is expected to soon sign a supermax extension of his own that will be worth around $260 million.
Beal’s isn’t an extension, but a separate contract since he became a free agent by opting out of a $36.4 million contract for this coming season on Wednesday. He did that with the supermax deal from the Wizards clearly in mind, and the sides wasted no time making that happen.
Either way, between the new deal and the $180 million or so that Beal has earned in his first 10 NBA seasons — all with the Wizards — he’s now cemented a spot as one of the highest-paid players in the history of the league. Beal will make about $43 million this season, get raises of between $3 million and $4 million annually and make around $57 million in the 2026-27 season.
The three-time All-Star averaged 23.2 points while being limited to 40 games last season because of injury. For his career, he’s averaged 22.1 points, including back-to-back seasons exceeding 30 points per game in 2019-20 and 2020-21.

On Thursday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its long-awaited decision on West Virginia v. EPA, the case challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Though the court’s six-member conservative majority moved to limit the EPA’s authority, earning the ire of environmentalists and the Biden administration alike, the court’s ruling did not deal the blow that many climate advocates expected. Ultimately, however, the decision’s use of the controversial “major questions” legal doctrine could have a chilling effect on future regulations.
Contrary to early news reports, the decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, does not prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, the ruling is unlikely to change the Biden administration’s approach to regulating emissions at all. In a surprising twist for a court that has seemed intent on overturning settled precedents, the ruling was narrowly framed, focusing on one reading of a single section of the Clean Air Act.
“In some ways I’m actually relieved,” said Cara Horowitz, a professor of environmental law at the University of California, Los Angeles, in a statement circulated after the ruling. “With this court we were bracing for almost anything, so this could have been worse.”
To understand West Virginia v. EPA, it helps to turn back the clock. Seven years ago, then-President Barack Obama, facing a Senate that refused to pass his landmark climate bill, unveiled a new plan to cut carbon emissions through the EPA’s executive authority. The resulting regulation became known as the Clean Power Plan, and it would have required American power plants to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. Part of that involved “generation shifting” — ordering some utilities to generate less electricity from dirty sources like coal and more from cleaner natural gas and renewable sources.
That last component was the specific regulation disputed in Thursday’s decision. The state of West Virginia, joined by North Dakota and two coal companies, argued that the Clean Air Act, which gives the EPA sweeping authority to regulate pollutants in the atmosphere, doesn’t provide the authority necessary to require utilities to shift from one source of power to another. The EPA countered that it did have generation-shifting authority under Section 111d of the Clean Air Act, which allows the agency to mandate the “best system of emissions reductions” for existing power plants. The best system of emissions reductions, the EPA reasoned, was simply to switch to a power source that doesn’t produce as much carbon pollution.
The court ultimately sided with West Virginia. Invoking a newly-in-vogue legal doctrine known as “major questions,” Chief Justice Roberts argued that an agency cannot adopt regulations of great social and economic consequence without the clear and express approval of Congress. “A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself,” Roberts wrote. (In a scathing dissent endorsed by the court’s two other liberal members, Justice Elena Kagan argued that “whatever else this court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change.”)
The decision will therefore limit — but not prevent — the EPA from making future regulations around greenhouse gas emissions. According to Andres Restrepo, a senior attorney at the Sierra Club, the ruling “removes the most important tool that EPA had in its tool kit.” However, he added, “there are still plenty of avenues under the Clean Air Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
For example, the court did not overturn Section 111, meaning that the EPA will still be able to require existing power plants to use the best available technologies to cut emissions — perhaps even through carbon capture and storage. The EPA can also still regulate carbon dioxide emissions from cars and trucks, as well as methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure. In fact, the Biden administration itself has not actually invoked the generation-shifting power of Section 111d to pursue its climate goals — and likely would not have, given the likelihood of a legal challenge similar to the one that dogged Obama’s Clean Power Plan and ultimately resulted in Thursday’s decision.
Despite the narrowness of the specific ruling, West Virginia v. EPA endorses a legal doctrine that could provide ammunition for opponents of a vast swath of government regulations in the future, hampering the executive branch’s ability to enforce regulatory laws. The major questions doctrine is both vague and powerful; in future cases, it could be used to hobble the ability of federal agencies to interpret statutes and write commonsense regulations to protect public health or the environment. In her dissent, Justice Kagan argued that “special canons like the ‘major questions doctrine’ magically appear” when it aligns with the court’s broader goals.
“Today, one of those broader goals makes itself clear: Prevent agencies from doing important work, even though that is what Congress directed,” she wrote.
One of the great ironies of the case is that the regulation at issue, the Clean Power Plan, never went into effect. When President Donald Trump came into office in 2017, he repealed the plan. But economic forces were doing the work that Obama wanted to achieve with regulation: Natural gas was getting cheap, renewables even cheaper. In 2015, the goal of the Clean Power Plan was to cut carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector by 32 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. The country reached that goal 11 years ahead of schedule, in 2019. The U.S. Energy Information Agency published a short post commemorating that milestone. The agency also noted the cause: The country’s utilities had pursued generation-shifting after all. | https://grist.org/regulation/supreme-court-epa-west-virginia-emissions/ | 2022-07-01T05:30:14Z | https://grist.org/regulation/supreme-court-epa-west-virginia-emissions/ | true | 1 |

In our latest digital cover, Scha Alyahya and Awal Ashaari talk all about their relationship, from the beginning to their tenth anniversary.
Wherever Scha Alyahya and Awal Ashaari go, they bring enigma, star quality, and impeccable style with them. The celebrity duo is, after all, the very epitome of the power couple. So, it comes with no surprise that Schawal — as they are often dubbed by endearing fans — has such a charismatic aura around them. Though it’s not the first time Scha and Awal have been on a shoot together, this time is extra special because 2022 marks their 10th anniversary of marriage.
Right from the get-go, their strong bond and the natural connection between them are crystal clear. Rocking the latest fashion pieces including the checkered Fall looks from Dior, stylish ensembles from Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta’s sleek pieces, and the whimsical creations of Moschino, Scha and Awal masterfully turn the set into their own creative bubble — low key directing each other on poses and what to do next.
Fierce, powerful, sensual, and dynamic — all vivaciously and seamlessly translated through the way they move for the lenses (both as individuals and a pair). As ardent fans of fashion and style icons, the power couple needs nothing but coffee and a sense of humour on set. Like any gentleman would, Awal ensures the perfect knot for the tie that he fixes gingerly on Scha’s Dior look.
Like a picture perfect moment, love is indeed in the air!
Having been together for a decade, Scha and Awal are also no stranger to questions about their relationship. Unsurprisingly, of course — who wouldn’t want to know the secret (or secrets) to a long-lasting marriage?
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
In exactly ten taps on the table, Scha’s advice is simply that “there should always be communication”. She continues with an affectionate smile on her face: “It’s really important to be transparent about everything”. Nevertheless, modelesque mother of two knows there’s something cliche about her advice. “But that’s fundamental what,” she says, inviting a loving stare from Awal who nods in accordance.
Born in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Scha became a household name in Malaysia through Astro’s ‘Awan Dania’ which ran for three seasons from 2008 to 2010. With equal parts charisma and beauty, Scha won the hearts of many with her unapologetically authentic self but most importantly struck the chord with one very important man.
“When I saw her, I knew there’s something special about this girl. She seems out of place but in a good way,” quips Awal as he gently turns his head towards the ceiling. In one deep breath, he utters: “She was unlike any other. A little rough on the edges but she’s beautiful the way she is and it is not at all made up… just her being herself.”
Unbeknownst to many, the KL-born actor and host actually first met Scha while hosting Dewi Remaja, a beauty pageant that Scha won in 2006. Little did they know, Awal and Scha would be married several years later and started a family together with the arrival of their firstborn in 2014. Although a decade has passed since their matrimony on 4 May 2012, their sentiment and desire for each other have evidently stood the test of time.
Love Not At First Sight
“I completely ignored him for the first two years… I didn’t reply to his texts,” Scha bursts out with a grin.
She shares that it was Awal who made the first move but it wasn’t meant to be during that time. Oh, dear timing. “I responded with, ‘I’m driving, can I reply later?’ — but I never did”, Scha continues with a smirk.
At that time, she was also new to the industry and was more focused on building a name for herself. “I was new and I didn’t want that to distract me.”
However, it’s clear that what’s meant to be will be. Destiny brought the duo together once again, reuniting them during promotional campaigns for their respective projects. Voila, and the fire has been burning since! For Scha and Awal, the walk down memory lane is all about looking at ups and downs of an enduring relationship, examining things they enjoy doing together, and of course, building a family together.
The Schawal love empire has also grown throughout the last 10 years. The power couple became parents for the first time in 2014 with the birth of daughter, Lara Alana and then in 2021, welcomed their second child, Lila Amina. When it comes to parenting techniques as a father and a mother, it’s all about being as hands-on as possible.
Awal expounded with a tender gaze as his eyes met Scha’s: “If possible, we’d like to do things ourselves”. It’s all about balance when it comes to parental responsibilities. After all, they both gave each other a rating of seven out of ten for parenting skills. Such synchronisation might just be a result of spending such a long time together — as evident through the alluring yet adorable way they carry themselves as a duo in love throughout the shoot.
Two words: Double Trouble.
We sit down with the celebrity power couple, Scha and Awal to talk about their decade-long bond as a married couple, their first impressions, parenthood experiences, and the advice or tips they would share with anyone in a relationship.
Congratulations on 10 years of marriage! If you have choose one favourite memory of being married to each other from the last 10 years, what would it be?
Scha (S): Mine would be my first pregnancy. It was quite challenging. Awal really took care of me. He was really loving, extra loving. I didn’t know that it would be that hard because we were not prepped or informed about anything like how you were supposed to prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically. We managed to pull through and now we have two kids.
Awal (A): We waited for one and a half years to get the first one so there was a sort of excitement. At the same time, there were nerves. Growing up, we were like “Okay, once you get married, then you have a child”— but it’s not that simple. There’s more to parenting that we had to go through together.
How do you keep the fire burning after a decade together?
A: Burn more fire (laughs).
S: Burn each other (laughs).
A: Ten years is long time for me. It’s a long time for anyone. It comes with challenges — ups and downs. One thing about us is that we can see whether the relationship is going stagnant. Scha will be the one going “We cannot keep going like this. This is getting monotonous. We need to do something about it”. For me, I’m okay with my comfort zone, but it’s actually draining if you’re doing the same things over and over again.
S: I’m someone who always makes conscious effort. We need to change our routines every once in a while.
What is your favourite thing to do when both of you are together?
A: Definitely eating! Apart from that, we love travelling and watching movies together. We enjoy discovering new places. Wherever Scha goes, she will come up with a list with very uncommon places. Some places might take an hour to get there and some you have to ask people for directions. It makes it more interesting and that’s what we like doing together.
S: Yes, we love food! We also love discovering new things and new places.
“I think in any relationship, the fundamental part is constant communication and be transparent about everything.”
Scha wears Louis Vuitton
Do you remember when you first met? What are your thoughts of each other?
S: Do I have to answer? (laughs)
A: Do I have to say it in front of her? For me, during that time, I wasn’t really interested in the idea that people have to be a certain way, like girls have to be this way or that way. I was hosting a show that she was in. When I saw her, I knew there’s something about this girl. She seems out of place but in a good way. It’s like she doesn’t care about all this. Everyone tried looking their best and had their makeup done but she’s just being herself, waiting for her turn.
S: Something wrong, right? It was ‘Dewi Remaja’. It was like, “What is this tomboy-ish girl doing in this beauty pageant?”. (chuckles) My first impression of Awal when I met him during ‘Dewi Remaja’ is that he’s a celebrity obvs. It was in 2006 and soon after, he sent me a text. I responded with something like “I’m driving, can I reply later?” — but I never did.
A: Yes! Can you imagine she took two years to reply my text?
S: I think I had something against celebrities during that time. I was a nobody and I was still young. I didn’t really know how to carry myself and didn’t know what to expect. After two years, we met again because we were promoting movies together. We were travelling around Malaysia. Our relationship started when we were promoting our movies. He also did request to be on a cover with me but I wasn’t interested in that idea. It’s because I was not looking and was just trying to build my career.
When did you know you would end up getting married to each other?
S: It’s probably after one and half years together. I think the period of one and a half years is good enough to know each other and bring things to another level.
A: Yes. We got pushed by the public as well like, “When are you getting married?”. When the public knew we were together as an item, the next thing was the marriage question. That bit of pressure accelerated the matrimony as well.
Why do you think so many look at the both of you as a power couple?
A: Really? I think it’s because when two individual celebrities that are doing well in their own fields combine — they become a power couple. I was doing my own thing before we got married. Scha was doing her thing before we got married. We were both at our peak. People were waiting for the moment we have kids and then when Lara was born, people fell in love with her instantly. She became an Instagram sensation. So, that’s how the momentum built up. We didn’t plan anything. It just happened during that time.
S: I think it’s the dynamics we have and also because when you combine our names, it becomes ‘SchAwal’ — so people respond positively to that too.
Is there anything we don’t know about you?
S: We actually argue a lot. We will argue about almost everything. All these while, it has always been Awal who ends up winning. He’s much smarter now. He will agree or say yes just to keep quiet.
A: Ignorance is bliss they say! (chuckles)
S: He knows how to deflect and manoeuvre through each arguments now. People also don’t know that we are from two different worlds and I can be quite direct.
A: We love to argue because our sentiments — opinions, decisions, and perceptions — are definitely not the same but somehow we pull through and make it happen. Now I leave it to her. I’m too old to fight and to try to win anymore. Last time, if I say A, there’s no way I was going to say B. After living with each other for ten years, you tend to know what to do. We are two different people. She’s very vocal but doesn’t take anything to heart. As for me, I’m very reserved and sensitive. Imagine these two entities meeting.
“Ten years is a long time and it comes with challenges, many ups and downs. The thing about us is that when our relationship becomes stagnant, we need to consciously realise the need to change our routines.”

What do you love the most about building a family together?
A: What I love most about building a family together is to achieve our goals in life. We do want to be somewhere and there’s a kind of life that we want. It’s slowly happening now with the girls, and how we spend time with them — from making them happy and seeing them grow up. All these things make building a family beautiful for me. Looking at the kids, they both have our traits. It’s like we’re creating mini versions of SchAwal.
S: I think it’s the surprises because honestly, I didn’t know I would be a mother of two. I used to be alright being alone. I ate and went shopping alone. When we are together, having kids and all, I think it’s truly the surprises. I didn’t expect myself to be where I am now. Those are things that I cherish the most.
Who’s the better parent?
A: We’re very hands on. We try not to get other people involved in the household as much as we can. We have a nanny and we have our assistants. Sometimes, my sister will come. We don’t allow others to interfere in the household too much because of the kids. If possible, we’d like to do things ourselves. We try to be as involved as we can from the moment the kids wake up until they go to bed. I can say that both of us have different responsibilities. One is stronger at one thing and the other is stronger at another.
S: Awal is very playful, which I’m not at all. I’m very serious. I’m not very playful with Lara and Lyla but I’m always sitting with and talking to them. I don’t think I’m the fun type of mother. I think we strike a balance there.
A: And I’ll be the one who’d send the kids to school too.
Do you have any advice you would like to give to couples out there?
S: This may sound cliche but I think the fundamental part is that there should always be communication. It’s not just updating each other whereabouts but also in terms of what’s in your mind and what you’re thinking about. I think it’s really important to be transparent about everything.
A: Marriage is not something where you have to just agree completely with your partner. It’s about acceptance. You have to speak your mind and don’t undermine yourself. In our relationship, you can do whatever you want or go anywhere you want. At the end of the day, you come back and we’re a family.

Which life jacket is best?
Water recreation is a favorite pastime of millions of Americans. No matter how you enjoy the water, safety is a top priority. Life jackets are legally required to protect you from drowning in the event of an accident. Even strong swimmers need life jackets against powerful undercurrents. The Onyx MoveVent Dynamic Paddle Sports Life Jacket is the best life jacket for recreational water sports and approved by the United States Coast Guard.
What to know before you buy a life jacket
Find a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket
Life jackets are considered personal flotation devices and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. They must be tested in a U.S. Coast Guard-recognized laboratory. This is the gold standard for certifying the jacket will hold up under adverse conditions and perform as promised.
Find the right size of life jacket
Life jackets should fit snugly. A life jacket that is too big will push up against your face, making it difficult to breathe. If the jacket is too small, it won’t be able to keep you afloat. The fit should be tight but allow room for movement. There should be no excess room under your arms which will keep the jacket from riding up over your face.
Find the right type of life jacket
There are five types of life jackets based on their ability to provide buoyancy.
- Type I is an offshore life jacket. They are designed for the roughest waters and can keep an unconscious person upright. They are used by cruise and freight ships and ocean fishing boats.
- Type II are near-shore vests. They are meant for quick rescue situations in calm waters.
- Type III are commonly used for recreational sports like water skiing, canoeing and kayaking. They are lightweight with a minimum buoyancy of 15.5 pounds but likely wouldn’t keep an unconscious person face up.
- Type IV are not worn but kept near the water in the case of an emergency. They are thrown into the water to someone needing to keep their head above water. Ring buoys and floating cushions fall into this category.
- Type V are not used by the public. They are used by Coast Guard rescue teams.
What to look for in a quality life jacket
Material
Life jackets are made from nylon or neoprene. Nylon is lightweight and durable. It is comfortable and less expensive. It is used for paddle or reel sports.
Neoprene is more expensive but fits better than nylon and has greater buoyancy. It is used for water sports because it makes it easy to move. Neoprene also traps body heat which keeps you warm in cold water.
Reflective colors
Bright colored life jackets aid rescue workers, especially at night. Some lightly colored life jackets have reflective patches to improve being spotted.
Pockets
Most life jackets have pockets that can hold small personal items like fishing gear or a compass. Look for pockets that have zippered closures that will keep items contained in the event you fall into the water. Heavy objects should be kept out of pockets to maintain maximum buoyancy.
Whistle
Emergency whistles are available to clip on to life jackets as an additional safety precaution. The whistle can immediately alert others of an emergency and your location.
How much you can expect to spend on a life jacket
Life jackets have a wide range of prices based on the size, type of jacket and material.
- Type I jackets cost $12-$150.
- Type II jackets cost $25-$125.
- Type III are typically the most expensive because they are used recreationally and have the most comfort. Their price ranges from $40-$150.

HONG KONG (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday defended his vision of the “one country, two systems” framework against accusations by the U.S., U.K. and others that Beijing has undermined the freedoms and autonomy promised to Hong Kong for 50 years.
In a speech marking 25 years since the city became a semi-autonomous Chinese region following its handover from Britain in 1997, Xi said the “one country, two systems” framework — which allows Hong Kong to have its own laws and government — had achieved “universally recognized success.”
“There is no reason for such a good system to change, and it must be maintained for a long time,” he said, in what appeared to be an attempt to reassure residents that Hong Kong could retain their relative freedoms even after 50 years.
But Xi also emphasized that Beijing had “comprehensive jurisdiction” over Hong Kong, and that Hong Kong should respect Chinese leadership, even as Beijing allows regions like Hong Kong and Macao to maintain their capitalist system and a degree of autonomy.
He warned that there would be no tolerance for foreign interference or traitors to meddle in Hong Kong’s affairs, and that “safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests” is of the highest priority.
“Nobody in any country or region in the world will allow foreign countries or even traitorous forces and figures to seize power,” he said, adding that only by having patriots governing Hong Kong, can Hong Kong ensure long-term stability.
Xi last visited Hong Kong in 2017 for the July 1 celebrations, during which he warned that there would be no tolerance for any activities seen as threatening China’s sovereignty and stability.
The months of pro-democracy protests in 2019 were seen by China’s ruling Communist Party as just such a threat.
Since the protests, Beijing and Hong Kong authorities drafted a national security law that was then used to arrest scores of activists, media figures and democracy supporters; introduced a more “patriotic” curriculum in schools; and revamped election laws to keep opposition politicians who are deemed not patriotic enough out of the city’s Legislature. The changes have all but eliminated dissenting voices in the city and have driven many to leave.
Xi’s two-day trip to Hong Kong is his first outside of mainland China since the pandemic took hold in January 2020. Security in Hong Kong has been beefed up for his arrival, with designated security and no-fly zones. Thousands of guests were required to take daily coronavirus tests and ordered to check into quarantine hotels ahead of their attendance of events with Xi on Thursday and Friday.
Xi also officiated the swearing-in ceremony of Hong Kong’s new leader John Lee, a former security official who oversaw the crackdown on dissent in the city since 2019 pro-democracy protests. Lee pledged to uphold the city’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law, and bear allegiance to Hong Kong. He also pledged to be accountable to the central government in Beijing.
At a morning flag-raising ceremony — attended by Lee, his predecessor Carrie Lam and other officials but not Xi — police officers carrying the Chinese and Hong Kong flags marched into Golden Bauhinia Square for the ceremony with the Chinese “goose-stepping” style, replacing a British-style march. Guests stood at attention as the Chinese national anthem was played. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/hong-kong-leaders-attend-flag-raising-marking-chinese-rule/ | 2022-07-01T05:53:15Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/hong-kong-leaders-attend-flag-raising-marking-chinese-rule/ | false | 17 |
Rupee hits record low of 79.11 against US dollar in early trade
Published: Published Date - 10:30 AM, Fri - 1 July 22
Mumbai: The rupee depreciated 5 paise to a record low of 79.11 against the US dollar in opening trade on Friday as persistent foreign funds outflows weighed on investor sentiments.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened on a weak note at 78.99 against the American dollar, then lost ground to quote at 79.11 — its all-time low level, registering a fall of 5 paise from the last close.
On Thursday, the rupee fell 3 paise to close at a fresh lifetime low of 79.06 against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.21 per cent higher at 104.90.
According to Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors, the rupee opened low as there are no signs of fund flows or strength in Asian currencies, Brent crude oil prices coming down or a pause in interest rate hikes.
“All these are a nemesis for the rupee and RBI is the only one supporting it and keeping it in a small range. Suddenly one day we may see the next spike,” Bhansali said.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures rose 0.05 per cent to USD 109.09 per barrel.
On the domestic equity market front, the 30-share Sensex was trading 411.74 points or 0.78 per cent lower at 52,607.20, while the broader NSE Nifty declined 123.10 points or 0.78 per cent to 15,657.15.
Foreign institutional investors were net sellers in the capital market on Thursday as they offloaded shares worth Rs 1,138.05 crore, as per stock exchange data. | https://telanganatoday.com/rupee-hits-record-low-of-79-11-against-us-dollar-in-early-trade | 2022-07-01T05:54:19Z | https://telanganatoday.com/rupee-hits-record-low-of-79-11-against-us-dollar-in-early-trade | false | 6 |

Washington [US], July 1 (ANI): Author JK Rowling recently found support from Warner Bros. after an external PR, acting on behalf of the studio, stated that the company is "not connected" to the British author.
According to Variety, Warner Bros. issued the response following a spat between a news outlet and the PR, who blocked the outlet from asking Harry Potter actor Tom Felton about Rowling during a press event in London last week.
Felton was part of an event around the expansion of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter attraction. He unveiled Professor Sprout's Greenhouse, a fan favorite set from the films, which will be a permanent addition to the attraction.
During an interview with the news outlet, Felton was asked about Rowling, who has faced backlash for comments about the trans community, and who was notably absent from 'Return to Hogwarts', the HBO Max documentary special marking the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter.
At this point, an external PR executive hired for the event, who is not a Warner Bros. employee, cut in and said: "Next question please."
Later, when the outlet questioned the PR as to why they were interrupted, they got a response stating: "J.K. Rowling is not connected to Warner or Tom Felton, the team felt it was not relevant to the piece."
However, in a statement shared with Variety, Warner Bros. stood by its long-standing relationship with Rowling.
"Warner Bros. has enjoyed a creative, productive and fulfilling partnership with J.K. Rowling for the past 20 years. She is one of the world's most accomplished storytellers, and we are proud to be the studio to bring her vision, characters and stories to life now -- and for decades to come. On Monday, a statement was issued by a third-party media agency that appeared contrary to this view. The statement was wholly wrong, and Warner Bros. Studio Tour London regrets it happened as part of a media event that day," it read.
The greenhouse expansion opens at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter on July 1 and is part of a new feature titled 'Mandrakes and Magical Creatures', which will run through September 12.

Police arrest 18-year-old suspected of stalking, killing victims in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5/Gray News) - The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department gave details Thursday of an arrest that took place June 27.
The suspect, 18-year-old Alonzo “AJ” Brown, was booked for two cases of stalking and murdering in the past two months. The most recent alleged homicide occurred June 23, according to authorities.
Police received a call in May about a shooting near the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Morris Street. LVMPD says they found the body of a man with gunshot wounds on a bus stop bench.
In June, patrolling officers heard gunshots on the 5300 block of E. Tropicana Avenue, a couple blocks away from the location of the previous incident. Officers found the body of a man with multiple gunshot wounds lying on the sidewalk, according to LVMPD.
In a press conference, LVMPD Captain Dori Koren addressed the investigation.
Koren said that LVMPD activated what is called a “Major Case Protocol,” which puts a variety of different police units on the case around the clock.
Through Major Case Protocol, police began searching the area near the shootings for evidence, according to Koren. Through the investigation, they identified Brown as the suspect.
Koren says during routine investigation, detectives saw a man that matched the description of Brown. A patrolman was called in to arrest him.
When officers arrived to the scene, the man began to flee. “It ended up being Alonzo, who we now know is responsible for these murders,” Koren said.
When officers arrested Brown, they found two guns, one in his waistband and the other in his backpack.
Koren says when Brown would allegedly commit the homicides, he would pick a target earlier in the night and follow them before shooting.
“These murders are very disturbing,” Koren said.
She urges the community to unite against these acts of senseless violence, but also stressed the fact that, “There’s no such thing as getting away in Las Vegas.”
According to Koren, the LVMPD homicide unit has as 95% success rate, the best in the country. Koren believes the LVMPD homicide unit is not only the best nationwide, but in the world.

Dear Amy: My husband and I were just involved in the wedding of our two dear friends – I as a bridesmaid and my husband as the officiant.
Originally, they’d asked my husband to be a groomsman. They later asked if he’d be willing to officiate instead.
Although this is not his profession, he happily put his heart into preparing for their day.
At the wedding rehearsal, we learned that he’d been left out of the bachelor party, held the previous night.
He didn’t receive any gift (each bridesmaid and groomsmen received a small gift), and was left out of groomsmen photos – until he specifically asked for at least one photo with the couple.
He had never discussed any compensation with them.
For our wedding, we paid our officiant (also non-clergy) for his time, as well as for travel and lodging.
We thought this was customary. Our friends’ wedding was also a few hours away, so we thought at least they might give him a small gift for his time.
I don’t think this was intended to be a slight; the couple was obviously happy to have us both there on their special day.
Are we wrong to have expected something different?
My husband and I are hurt by this, as it feels like he’s been demoted after agreeing to a more significant role.
Should we say anything, or leave this in the past?
– Wedding Wounded
Dear Wounded: It is standard to compensate the person who officiates at the wedding – even if that person is a friend who would perform the ceremony for free. This compensation can come in the form of paying for the person’s travel and hotel room, giving them a cash gift, and/or yes – a gift of appreciation to acknowledge the vital role the officiant has played in the wedding.
I have a strong feeling that if the groom had included your husband in his bachelor party and if the couple had welcomed him into group photos, you wouldn’t be asking about compensation, because this is really about him feeling demoted, excluded, and unappreciated. And I agree with his reaction!
This couple blew it.
It is as if when they asked your husband to officiate, in their minds he actually became a member of the clergy (who quite naturally might not enjoy a bachelor party).
If you can leave this in the past, then definitely do that. Otherwise, your husband could say, “I was honored to perform your ceremony, but honestly afterward I felt like I’d been demoted from groomsman. I was surprised not to be included in the bachelor party. You know I’m not an actual priest, right?”
Dear Amy: I have been going with a woman for several months (we are retirement age), and we have agreed to date each other exclusively.
However, when I am not around, she invites a man 30 years her junior to dine out, or to just hang out with her.
When I tell her that I don’t feel comfortable with this she says they have been friends for a couple of years, and that there is nothing romantic going on between them.
While that may be true for now, I can’t help but feel that eventually this will evolve into a romantic relationship.
I have very strong feelings for her, and I would be devastated if we broke up, but it is very difficult for me to continue like this. What can I do?
– Exclusive or Not?
Dear Exclusive: If you two are exclusively dating, moving forward you would naturally want to introduce one another to your friends on both sides. You don’t seem to have met your lady friend’s gentleman caller, but this would be a good first step.
If your girlfriend is reluctant or refuses to introduce you to her friend, then it would seem that theirs is the exclusive relationship. In this context, “exclusive” means that of the three of you, you are the excluded one.
Dear Amy: “Stomach in Knots” was a very concerned grandmother who saw her grandchild essentially being force-fed by the child’s parents.
Ask Amy
Amy, there is an epidemic of eating disorders in this country (on both ends of the spectrum), and this is one reason why!
– Upset
Dear Upset: I did not interpret this as “force-feeding,” but as young parents going through what I believe is a typical “clean your plate” phase with a toddler.
Your concerns are completely valid, and so I certainly hope I’m read this right.

Modi Nagar-Nitish Nagar: Colonies to come up in Bihar named after PM, CM
Modi Nagar-Nitish Nagar: Colonies to come up in Bihar named after PM, CM
Patna: In a bid to provide houses to the poor, the State government is preparing a plan for them. Speaking to the media, Land Reforms and Revenue Minister Ramsurat Rai said the State will construct colonies in districts in which houses will be allocated to the homeless so that they would not live with the stigma that they don't have their own house. If they are provided with a roof, they would focus on their livelihood.
To identify land for the project, the State government has been conducting a survey. Once the survey is completed then the government would construct colonies there and allocate the houses to the poor. Although the State wants to build such colonies across the State but due to legal problems they are carrying out a survey to find out the suitable land for the project.
While colonies will be named as Modi and Nitish Nagar after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "As we are aware that houses are being constructed for the homeless under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana (PMAY) whosoever is left out with the PMAY scheme will be accommodated here. Though the Bihar government is preparing such a plan for the first time "we would review all pros and cons before the approval."

Minister Rai said that the State is planning to provide houses to all eligible homeless. After being inducted into the Cabinet, he resumed allotment of houses in eight districts and allocation in the remaining 30 districts is yet to begin. The homeless whose names are missing in Awas Yojana and do not have own roof will be given a house in the Modi Nagar and Nitish Nagar Colonies and this would be the dream project of the Bihar government. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/state/bihar/modi-nagar-nitish-nagar-colonies-to-come-up-in-bihar-named-after-pm-cm/na20220701104120981981225 | 2022-07-01T06:12:51Z | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/state/bihar/modi-nagar-nitish-nagar-colonies-to-come-up-in-bihar-named-after-pm-cm/na20220701104120981981225 | true | 1 |

The Australian sharemarket has started the new financial year with a positive start after closing off its worst month since March 2020.
At noon, the S&P/ASX 200 is 0.5 per cent or 30 points higher at 6,598. The SPI futures are pointing to a rise of 38 points.
The price of crude ended sharply lower on mounting concerns on a tight oil market and future targets, following OPEC+ sticking to its 648,000 barrels per day increase in August. Clouding investor sentiment was also the latest figures on US consumer spending.
Real or inflation-adjusted personal spending declined by 0.4 per cent, the first drop so far this year, a sign that persistently high consumer prices have started to weigh on households affordability. However, what remains persistent in investor’s minds are demand worries from China.
This could explain why energy and material stocks are the only worst performers on the ASX 200, down 1.6 and 1 per cent respectively while real estate is the best performing sector, up 2.3 per cent, followed by industrials and utilities.

Joining the list of celebrities who speak up openly about mental health and other physical ailments, actress Shruti Haasan recently talked about her battle with Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), saying she manages the hormonal illness by eating healthy and getting enough rest for her body.
PCOS, a hormonal condition, causes larger ovaries with tiny cysts on the periphery. Infertility and irregular menstrual periods are among the regular characteristics, as are high levels of the male hormone gonadotropin, obesity, and frequently diabetes.
Endometriosis is an ailment that develops when tissue that normally lines the uterus begins to proliferate outside of the uterus. It can also affect the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Every menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue typically thickens, degrades, and bleeds.
The 36-year-old actor discussed her “biggest hormonal troubles” while posting a training video from a gym on her Instagram account. Shruti admitted that it was a “difficult” battle but that she had come to terms with the fact that such issues were “natural”.
“Train with me. With my PCOS and Endometriosis, I’ve been experiencing some of the worst hormone problems,” she said.
Shruti discusses how she is coping with the two conditions and stresses the significance of maintaining a good outlook on life and learning coping mechanisms.
“Women know it’s a tough fight with the imbalance and bloating and metabolic challenges but instead of looking at it as a fight, I choose to accept it as a natural movement that my body goes through to do its best. I say thank you for eating right, sleeping well and enjoying my workout,” she wrote in the caption.
Shruti, dressed in a black tank top and lowers, can be seen working out in a gym in the video she posted, doing everything from yoga to stretches to a variety of bodyweight exercises, cardio, and core strengthening. My body isn’t perfect right now, but my heart is,” she continues. “Keep fit, keep happy and let those happy hormones flow!”

The most recent appearance of Shruti was in the online series Bestseller on Amazon Prime Video, which also starred Mithun Chakraborty, Arjan Bajwa, and Gauahar Khan. Waltair Veerayya and an untitled movie starring Nandamuri Balakrishna are the actor’s two next films. She will also appear in the upcoming Salaar movie, starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

CLEVELAND (AP)Andres Gimenez watched his home run clear the center-field fence, kissed his bat and then flipped it while turning toward Minnesota’s stunned dugout.
For the second day in a row, the Cleveland Guardians won a game they probably should have lost and handed the Twins another crushing defeat.
Gimenez blasted a two-run homer in the ninth inning as the Guardians walked off against the Twins again, beating their AL Central rivals 5-3 on Thursday to take the five-game series and move within one game of first place.
When he crossed the plate, Gimenez was splashed with water and bubble gum rained down on his head as the Guardians, who had only one hit through seven innings, celebrated their 17th last at-bat win – the most in the majors.
On Wednesday, Josh Naylor’s two-run homer in the 10th inning sent the Guardians past the Twins, whose bullpen has imploded against Cleveland several times this season.
”We keep fighting until the end,” Gimenez said.
Six of Cleveland’s last at-bat wins have come against the Twins. The teams don’t play again until September, when they meet seven times.
”I’m glad they’re gone,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. ”That’s a lot and they’re good. I thought we played them pretty tough, but they’re a good team. They’ll be around. They’re a good team.”
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli called Wednesday’s loss ”excruciating” when he met with reporters Thursday morning. He was searching for a similar word several hours later.
”Probably the most difficult series I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. ”I’ve never seen five games against one team in four days that felt like that.”
Gimenez went deep to center on a 3-2 pitch from Tyler Thornburg (0-1) as Minnesota’s bullpen imploded again.
Jose Ramirez drew a leadoff walk, the 10th allowed by Minnesota. Naylor’s groundout moved Ramirez to second and Owen Miller flied out.
Gimenez, who followed with his game-winner, would like to find a less dramatic way to win.
”We’re gonna go up and down and we just have to be as a group and putting great at-bats together,” he said. ”Hopefully things are gonna change, but we’re getting the wins. That’s all that matters.”
The Twins failed to hold a 6-3 lead in the 10th inning on Wednesday night, when the Guardians scored four times and won the game on Naylor’s two-run homer. Emilio Pagan and Jharel Cotton couldn’t the lead, and Minnesota’s bullpen problems returned less than 24 hours later.
The Twins outhomered the Guardians 10-2 in the series.
Thanks to Jose Miranda’s three-run double in the third, the Twins took a 3-1 lead into the eighth. Thornburg retired the first batter but hit Gimenez with a pitch and walked Franmil Reyes and Sandy Leon to load the bases.
Shortstop Carlos Correa made a diving stop of Myles Straw’s sharply hit grounder. Gimenez scored and Reyes came home when Correa threw wildly to third to tie the game.
Emmanuel Clase (2-2) pitched the ninth.
Chris Archer walked four straight hitters with two outs in the second, including a free pass to Kwan with the bases loaded. Archer was pulled after throwing 90 pitches in four innings. He walked six and struck out two.
Shane Bieber allowed five hits, struck out five and walked two in six innings.
LAST DAY
The series finale marked the finale day of Wes Johnson’s tenure as Minnesota’s pitching coach. Johnson is leaving the Twins to assume the same role at LSU.
”Not an easy day,” Baldelli said. ”Wes will be on the plane with us. He’ll fly back with us to Minnesota. We’ll have some time to decompress and talk a little bit. Some emotions will be present.”
Johnson joined the Twins in 2019 after coaching at Arkansas.
Bullpen coach Pete Maki and assistant pitching coach Luis Ramirez are expected to play major roles in Johnson’s absence.
HIT IN THE HEAD
Following his home run Wednesday, Naylor head-butted Francona, who was wearing a batting helmet. General manager Mike Chernoff said Naylor apologized to Francona on Thursday.
”He was like, I didn’t realize that I did that,” Chernoff said. ”It was pretty funny. When Tito came in (Thursday), his glasses were all crooked. He had to go and get them taken in and fixed.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Twins: INF Jorge Polanco was given the day off after playing the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader and Wednesday night. He missed 14 games with lower back tightness.
Guardians: Rookie outfielder Oscar Gonzalez was a late scratch from the lineup because of right abdominal tightness. RHP James Karinchak’s rehab assignment (sore back) ended Thursday. He will rejoin the Guardians or be optioned to Triple-A Columbus.
UP NEXT
Twins: RHP Joe Ryan (6-3, 3.20 ERA) will start the opener of a three-game home series against Baltimore on Friday night.
Guardians: RHP Aaron Civale (2-4, 7.20 ERA) faces the New York Yankees in the opener of a three-game series Friday night at Progressive Field.

BILLINGS- The Billings Mustangs are seeking their fourth straight series win as they battle the Rocky Mountain Vibes on the road this week. While they're busy in Colorado, On Deck with the Billings Mustangs is outfielder and first baseman, Gabe Wurtz.
Wurtz introduced himself to fans in the home opener at Dehler Park with a 3-run walk-off home run, instantly winning the affections of Mustangs fans. He's crushed ten home runs this season, currently second in the Pioneer League. He's also second on the team in batting average.
"I think a lot of is just being in a good space, we have a really good hitting coach, and good players. It's just good to be around the guys," Wurtz said.
Wurtz finished his college career at a Division II program in Virginia. Then, he played two seasons in independent leagues before finding his latest home in Billings, where he admits, he knew nothing about Montana.
"I heard it's beautiful but that's about, that's all I know about Montana is I just heard how beautiful it is."
Wurtz said the guys have come together quickly, and despite being constantly busy with new rotations and roster changes, he's been impressed by manager Jim Riggleman's attention to detail.
"Oh, it's been awesome, he just knows so much baseball and how simple he makes everything. We've talked about the simplest things that I didn't think he'd even touch on so just attention to details have been really big."
While he may be a fan favorite early on for his performance on the field, Wurtz wants fans to know he's more worried about how people see him outside of baseball, as a role model.
"Hopefully I just think I'm a great guy, that's the most important thing I feel like. I mean obviously I want to come out and perform everyday but try to talk to all the fans I can and get along with everybody, that's the goal."
After playing the Vibes, Billings returns home to face Boise on July 6. | https://www.kulr8.com/sports/pioneer-league/on-deck-with-the-billings-mustangs-gabe-wurtz/article_c554dcd6-f8eb-11ec-896e-5bef44e4b474.html | 2022-07-01T06:22:59Z | https://www.kulr8.com/sports/pioneer-league/on-deck-with-the-billings-mustangs-gabe-wurtz/article_c554dcd6-f8eb-11ec-896e-5bef44e4b474.html | false | 1 |

N. Korea suggests balloons flown from South brought COVID-19
By HYUNG-JIN KIM
Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea is suggesting its COVID-19 outbreak began in people who had contact with balloons flown from South Korea. The highly questionable claim appeared to be an attempt to hold its rival responsible amid increasing tensions. Activists for years have flown balloons across the border to distribute propaganda leaflets, and North Korea has expressed fury at the activists and at South Korea’s leadership for not stopping them. A state media report Friday said officials were ordered to deal vigilantly with “alien things” and balloons blown across the border. Global health authorities say the coronavirus is spread by people in close contact who inhale airborne droplets and it’s more likely to occur in enclosed spaces than outdoors. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/30/n-korea-suggests-balloons-flown-from-south-brought-covid-19/ | 2022-07-01T06:25:21Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/30/n-korea-suggests-balloons-flown-from-south-brought-covid-19/ | true | null |
China cyberspace regulator cracks down on counterfeit investment platforms
SHANGHAI, July 1 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Friday that it has cracked down on counterfeit investment platforms, as part of the country's campaign to combat such telecom network crime.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said it has investigated and cracked down on some 42,000 counterfeit apps since the start of this year, and incorporated them into the national fraud-related database, according to a statement on its website.
The regulator added it found multiple cases involving website spoofing as scammers created fraudulent investment platforms by mimicking some popular tech companies including JD Finance, the fintech arm of e-commerce giant JD.com.
"App stores and other platforms should also strengthen the security scrutiny of App download to prevent fake Apps from fishing in troubled water to harm internet users," CAC said.
State media reported in April that the number of telecom fraud cases in China had declined for nine consecutive months starting June 2021.

Striking Paris airport worker wants his wages to soar
By Caroline Pailliez
PARIS, July 1 (Reuters) - Three times a week, Loris Foreman, a ground handling agent at Paris' main international airport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, drives to his workplace, coffee in hand, before sunrise. After eight years in the job, he wonders if the money is worth it.
On Friday, Foreman, who handles flights for major airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates and Air Canada in his job with an airport subcontractor, joined a strike over the rising cost of living.
With airline traffic returning toward pre-pandemic levels, his hardline CGT trade union and others want serious wage increases to offset galloping inflation, which hit a record high 6.5% in France in June.
"Salaries need to go up, not by two or three percent but by 15 to 20%," Foreman, whose union demands a general wage increase of 300 euros ($314.37) per month for all staff, said on the eve of the walkout.
Similar to Paris, airports across Europe are seeing strike action as summer holidays approach, and airports such as London, Amsterdam, Rome and Frankfurt have had to cope with flight cancellations and long queues.
The workers' demands come as airlines are struggling to recruit staff after having cut headcount massively during the pandemic.
A first airport strike in Paris on June 9 - involving 1,500 strikers, according to the CGT - led to the cancellation of 20% of flights in the morning at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle.
The French aviation authority DGAC has asked airlines to cancel one flight in six on Friday between 7 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) and 2 p.m. Airport operator ADP expects that roughly 10% of flights will be canceled on Friday.
"When you start at 5 a.m. or work odd hours all the time, this leads to burn-out, and at the moment there are loads of airport staff who are on sick leave for depression," Foreman said.
Last month, Foreman earned 1,770 euros net, but he said that does not allow him to live comfortably anymore, with inflation eroding his wages.
Foreman said he now has to scour supermarkets for promotions on food items - showing three pots of cream in his fridge and a lamb shoulder in his freezer - and never fills his car's fuel tank to the top.
He needs 30,000 euros to fix a leaking roof but has postponed those works, and can't afford to fix the broken rearview mirror on the car he bought for 600 euros, he said.
A strike is a bother for travelers, he acknowledged, but added that he had no choice.
"Yes, we know that we are taking passengers hostage, but we need to make our voice heard and the only way to do that is with a strike," he said.

OMV Petrom's Sustainability Report For 2021: EUR11M Spent On Social Projects.
OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy company in South-Eastern Europe, on Thursday (June 30) published the Sustainability Report for 2021.

Russian missiles struck a nine-story apartment building and a resort facility near Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa early on Friday, killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens, Ukrainian authorities said.
One missile struck the building in the town of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi at about 1am local time, killing 14 people, the emergencies ministry said. It also wounded 30 people and caused a fire in an attached store building.
Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odesa regional administration, told Ukrainian state television that a rescue operation was under way as some people remained buried under the rubble after a section of the building collapsed.
Another missile hit a resort facility, he said, killing at least three people including a child and wounding one more person. Reuters could not independently confirm details of the incident.
The attack came after Russia on Thursday said it had decided to withdraw from Snake Island as a “gesture of goodwill” to show Moscow was not obstructing UN attempts to open a humanitarian corridor allowing grains to be shipped from Ukraine.
Ukraine said it had driven Russian forces off the Black Sea outcrop after an artillery and missile assault, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hailing the strategic win.
“It does not yet guarantee security. It does not yet ensure that the enemy will not come back,” he said in his nightly video address. “But this significantly limits the actions of the occupiers. Step by step, we will push them back from our sea, our land and our sky.”
In contrast, however, Ukrainian forces were desperately hanging on in the city of Lysychansk.
Russian artillery shelled from different directions while the Russian army approached from several sides, regional governor Serhiy Gaidai said on Ukrainian television.
“The superiority in fire power of the occupiers is still very much in evidence,” Mr Zelenskiy said. “They have simply brought in all their reserves to hit us.”
Russian forces have been trying to encircle Lysychansk since they captured Severodonetsk, on the opposite side of the Siverskyi Donets River, last week after weeks of heavy fighting.
In Severodonetsk, residents have emerged from their basements and are sifting through the rubble of their ruined city as they look to rebuild.
Despite yielding ground and taking punishing losses in the eastern Donbas in recent weeks, Ukraine hopes to inflict enough damage to exhaust Russia’s advancing army and have counter-attacked in the south of the region.
Ukraine’s western allies have been sending weapons and the Kyiv government was given another boost with the United States saying it would provide a further $800 million (€764 million) in weapons and military aid. — Reuters | https://www.irishtimes.com/world/europe/2022/07/01/russian-missile-strikes-kill-17-in-odesa-region-ukraine-says/ | 2022-07-01T06:42:03Z | https://www.irishtimes.com/world/europe/2022/07/01/russian-missile-strikes-kill-17-in-odesa-region-ukraine-says/ | false | 2 |
Activision Stock Is a Bet on Microsoft’s Takeover. It’s One Worth Making.
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
With mergers getting increased scrutiny, Microsoft picked a tough time to buy Activision Blizzard But the regulatory uncertainty might give investors an opportunity for some easy upside in the gaming company’s stock.
Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) announced its $69 billion all-cash deal for Activision Blizzard (ATVI) in January, and in normal times there wouldn’t be much concern about the acquisition going through. Though Activision is among the largest videogame publishers, with its Call of Duty titles regularly topping sales charts, its $8.8 billion in 2021 revenue makes up a fraction of the estimated $192.7 billion global games market, according to market research firm Newzoo. In the past, that probably would have been too small to catch the attention of the Federal Trade Commission, which traditionally focused on how deals affect consumer pricing. | https://www.barrons.com/articles/buy-activision-stock-microsoft-takeover-51656627872 | 2022-07-01T06:44:53Z | https://www.barrons.com/articles/buy-activision-stock-microsoft-takeover-51656627872 | true | 1 |
A new café has opened its doors in a popular park in Weston-super-Mare with an all-vegan menu. Sprout café is based in the Grade II-listed building in Grove Park backed by North Somerset Council with an environmentally conscious ethos.
Council officials say the menu will focus around ‘seed to plate’, with many of the ingredients to be grown by the local community and Sprout. Anna Southwell, of Loves Cafe in the town, has taken over the cafe in Grove Park and renamed it ‘Sprout’.
Owner of Loves and Sprout, Anna Southwell, said: “Looking around, it’s fantastic to see the café being enjoyed by nearby residents and visitors. Our future plans are to start community focused initiatives including working with those affected by domestic violence and refugees.”

"As a plastic free, vegan establishment, we’ve already cut our carbon footprint by at least 75 per cent, and we want to lower that as much as we can. We’re passionate about what we want to achieve here, and really appreciate the support we’ve had from everyone so far.”
The plastic-free café will offer plant-based and gluten-free dishes. It will also host music and food events that utilise the Victorian bandstand and open space of the park.
Mark Canniford, Executive Member for Placemaking and Economy, said: “The council declared a climate emergency in February 2019, aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030. It’s fantastic to welcome another business that’s focused on climate change and doing their bit to make a difference. I look forward to trying some of their gluten free cakes!”
On social media, the news of the vegan cafe was welcomed by residents. Lindsay Hall commented: "Will be definitely paying a visit as my daughter is gluten and dairy free...it's so hard to find food out anywhere!"
Cari Caitlin added: "I visited last week for a work lunch and sat in the sun eating a vegan sausage sandwich which was absolutely delicious, great selection of savouries and cakes as well." While Jay Lenehan said it was nice to see north Somerset supporting so many independent businesses.
Sprout’s first event will be an evening of flamenco and Spanish guitar on June 25 from 6pm when a tapas menu will be served. Sprout, officially opened by Weston-super-Mare mayor Sonia Russe on June 18, will open seven days a week.

Starting July 1, workers in several states will be entitled to a higher minimum wage.
Thanks to a law enacted three years ago, Connecticut residents who currently make $13 an hour will get a raise to $14. Meanwhile, non-tipped workers in In Washington, D.C., will start making an hourly wage of $16.10. Oregon workers will also start to earn a minimum wage of $13.50, though, due to a tiered-wage system, rural residents will earn a dollar less and Portland metro residents will earn $1.25 over the standard wage. And in Nevada, wages will jump to $10.50 for workers without health benefits and $9.50 for workers with benefits.
It’s a move some advocates and businesses are celebrating.
“With the federal minimum wage stuck at an abysmal $7.25 an hour, state increases are essential for workers, businesses and the economy,” Holly Sklar, the CEO of Business for a Fair Minimum Wage, a national network of business owners and executives advocating for pay increases for wage workers, said in a statement. “Minimum-wage increases make it more possible for workers to afford the basics and strengthen the consumer spending that businesses depend on.”
Business owners from across the country joined the statement in support, including Constance Palaia, the owner of Motel Del Rogue in Grants Pass, Ore.
“‘With the federal minimum wage stuck at an abysmal $7.25 an hour, state increases are essential for workers, businesses and the economy.’”
— Holly Sklar, the CEO of Business for a Fair Minimum Wage“We have a $15 minimum wage because we want our staff and their families to live secure, healthy lives,” Palaia said. “Our employees are great and stay with us, which is unusual in the high-turnover hospitality industry and has positioned us well for the 2022 travel boom. Raising the minimum wage will help Oregon build a stronger economy and more resilient businesses.”
It’s not just states raising their minimum wages. Employees in Los Angeles will also see their minimum wage increase to $16.04 from $15 an hour starting July 1, while Chicago workers will also get a bump above $15 an hour for the first time to make $15.40 hourly. In Minneapolis, workers will start making $13.50 an hour if they’re employed at businesses with fewer than 100 people — though they can earn $15 an hour if they work for a bigger company.
In 2020, more than 73 million workers over the age of 16 were paid an hourly rate in the U.S., with approximately 1.1 million of them earning at or below the federal minimum, according to government data. America’s federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009. Several states continue to pay workers that bare minimum, including North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana and others.
“‘In only 7% of counties nationwide can a full-time minimum-wage worker afford a one-bedroom apartment at fair market rent.’”
— National Low Income Housing Coalition, a D.C.-based affordable housing groupThe left-leaning Economic Policy Institute has said that if the country were to boost the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, workers would receive over $108 billion in additional pay and earnings would rise for 1 in 3 Black workers.
During his first State of the Union address in March, President Joe Biden made a push to increase the federal minimum wage, a proposal Democrats tried but failed to enact last year. “Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour,” Biden said before an audience of lawmakers.
While worker advocates have long rallied for a $15 federal minimum wage, even that may not be enough with an ever-increasing cost of living. Inflation is at a 40-year high, and the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a D.C.-based affordable housing group, estimated in 2021 that workers would have to earn $20.04 an hour for a modest-one bedroom rental.
“In no state, metropolitan area, or county can a worker earning the federal minimum wage or prevailing state minimum wage afford a decent two-bedroom rental home at fair market rent by working a standard 40-hour week,” the group said. “In only 7% of counties nationwide can a full-time minimum-wage worker afford a one-bedroom apartment at fair market rent.”
Republicans have for years been reluctant to raise the federal minimum wage due to arguments from conservative groups saying it would negatively impact small businesses and raise prices for consumers, though some conservatives have warmed to the idea of an increase. The majority of Americans support a $15 federal minimum wage, according to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey. | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/good-news-these-3-states-and-3-cities-will-increase-their-minimum-wage-on-july-1-do-you-live-in-one-of-them-11656603066 | 2022-07-01T06:52:18Z | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/good-news-these-3-states-and-3-cities-will-increase-their-minimum-wage-on-july-1-do-you-live-in-one-of-them-11656603066 | false | 1 |
Russian missiles hit an apartment building and a resort near Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa early on Friday, killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens, Ukrainian authorities said, the latest in a spate of deadly missile strikes.
With its ground forces concentrated in Ukraine's eastern industrial region of Donbas, Russia has more than doubled the number of missile strikes around the country in the past two weeks, using inaccurate Soviet-era missiles for more than half of the attacks, according to a Ukrainian brigadier general.
One missile struck a nine-story building in the town of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi at about 10pm, the Ukrainian emergencies ministry said. It also caused a fire in an attached store building.
Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesperson for the Odesa regional administration, told Ukrainian state television a rescue operation was under way as some people remained buried under the rubble after part of the building collapsed.
Another missile hit a resort facility, Bratchuk said, killing at least three people including a child and wounding one more person.
Reuters could not independently confirm details of the incident.
Thousands of civilians have died since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what Ukraine says is an unprovoked war of aggression. Moscow denies targeting civilians and says it hits only military infrastructure in what it calls a "special operation" to root out dangerous nationalists.
The attack came after Russia on Thursday said it had decided to withdraw from Snake Island as a "gesture of goodwill" to show Moscow was not obstructing U.N. attempts to open a humanitarian corridor allowing grains to be shipped from Ukraine.
Ukraine said it had driven Russian forces off the Black Sea outcrop after an artillery and missile assault, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hailing the strategic win.
"It does not yet guarantee security. It does not yet ensure that the enemy will not come back," he said in his nightly video address. "But this significantly limits the actions of the occupiers. Step by step, we will push them back from our sea, our land and our sky."
In contrast, however, Ukrainian forces were desperately hanging on in the city of Lysychansk.
Russian artillery shelled from different directions while the Russian army approached from several sides, regional Governor Serhiy Gaidai said on Ukrainian television.
"The superiority in fire power of the occupiers is still very much in evidence," Zelenskiy said. "They have simply brought in all their reserves to hit us."
Russian forces have been trying to encircle Lysychansk since they captured Sievierodonetsk, on the opposite side of the Siverskyi Donets River, last week after weeks of heavy fighting.
In Sievierodonetsk, residents have emerged from their basements and are sifting through the rubble of their ruined city as they look to rebuild.
"Almost all the city infrastructure is destroyed. We are living without gas, electricity, and water since May," Sergei Oleinik, a 65-year-old resident told Reuters. "We are glad that this ended, and soon maybe reconstruction will start, and we will be back to more or less normal life."
Despite yielding ground and taking punishing losses in the eastern Donbas in recent weeks, Ukraine hopes to inflict enough damage to exhaust Russia's advancing army and have counter-attacked in the south of the region.
Ukraine's Western allies have been sending weapons and the Kyiv government was given another boost with the United States saying it would provide a further $800 million in weapons and military aid.
U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking after a NATO summit in Madrid, said Washington and its allies were united in standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I don't know how it's going to end, but it will not end with Russia defeating Ukraine," Biden told a news conference. "We are going to support Ukraine for as long as it takes."
Ukrainian forces in the "south" district of the Joint command of the Ukrainian armed forces killed 35 Russian servicemen and put out of action two tanks and four armoured vehicles, according to a Ukrainian military statement on Facebook on Friday.
"The Ukrainian armed forces are not only holding defence lines but also engaging in successful operations aimed at liberating occupied towns in Kherson region from the invaders," Kriviy Rih regional Governor Oleksandr Vilkul said on Telegram, adding Ukrainian troops had taken back the town of Potyomkin.
Reuters could not immediately verify battlefield claims.
Snake Island was retaken by Ukraine after weeks in which momentum in the four-month-old conflict appeared to be shifting in favour of Russia.
Ukrainian Brigadier General Oleksii Hromov said Ukrainian forces were not yet occupying the island but would do so.
The rocky outcrop overlooks sea lanes to Odesa, Ukraine's main Black Sea port, where Russia is blocking food cargos from one of the world's leading grain suppliers.
Lifting the blockade has been a primary goal of the West. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has accused Russia of deliberately causing world hunger as "blackmail".
Moscow denies blocking the ports and blames food shortages on Western sanctions it says limit its own exports.
Speaking in Moscow on Thursday, Indonesian leader Joko Widodo offered to be a diplomatic bridge between Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, and said he hoped global food and fertiliser supply lines could be repaired.
"I really appreciate President Putin who said earlier that he will provide a security guarantee for food and fertiliser supplies from both Russia and Ukraine. This is good news," he said. | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/russian-missiles-hit-apartment-building-and-resort-in-odesa-killing-17-and-wounding-dozens-41805818.html | 2022-07-01T06:53:00Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/russian-missiles-hit-apartment-building-and-resort-in-odesa-killing-17-and-wounding-dozens-41805818.html | true | 10 |

Protestant assemblyman Punaji Gamit is fretting over the demand to remove converts from the Scheduled Tribes list

Not many people outside Gujarat and even within this western Indian state itself know that there is a Christian Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in the Hindutva laboratory — one who has won four terms in a row. And that is perhaps because of his common tribal identity.
Punaji Gamit, 56, a Protestant, represents Vyara, a constituency in the tribal-dominated Tapi district of South Gujarat. He happens to be a convert — like 30 percent of others in his constituency.
So not many people know that these days Gujarat’s sole Christian assemblyman is losing sleep over an issue — the demand for delisting converts like him from the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list — which has serious ramifications for him and other converts. This demand is being pushed by Janjati Suraksha Manch (JSM), an outfit backed by the powerful right-wing Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Despite being the only Christian MLA, Gamit has not emerged as the voice and face of the Christian community. The Dalit community, which accounts for 7.5 percent of the population, has an iconic figure in the outspoken Jignesh Mevani.
Though about 60 Christian organizations in South Gujarat have come together to form a common platform to counter what they describe as Hindu groups' controversial move, the community so far does not have a prominent face to spearhead the cause.
In fact, the Christian community does not even have a leader of the stature of Chhotu Vasava — an MLA known across the whole tribal belt.
"As a beneficiary of tribal status, Gamit understands that with de-listing he will not be able to contest elections and represent the tribal community"
Interestingly, even this lone Christian MLA, who is a member of the Congress Party, is not part of the Christian group that has been formed to combat the JSM’s campaign which Christians fear is likely to reach its logical conclusion in the Monsoon session of Indian parliament expected to start on July 18.
The Scheduled Tribes (ST) status entitles indigenous communities to reservations in jobs, education and legislative bodies.
As a beneficiary of tribal status, Gamit understands that with de-listing he will not be able to contest elections and represent the tribal community.
“I will not be able to contest an ST reserved seat,” Gamit told UCA News. The only faint hope, he said, is that if the opposition Congress party "comes to power, we will be able to protect our rights as tribals.”
The entire Christian community in South Gujarat’s tribal belt is in panic mode, unable to figure out how to counter the move that will deprive them of the benefits that they are entitled to as tribals.
Of the 27 tribal seats in the 182-member House, at least eight seats are predominantly Christian-dominated, though as a token gesture Congress has fielded only one Christian candidate for years.
"South Gujarat’s Christian community believe that the BJP is going to reintroduce the old bill, underlining the old demand to de-list converted tribal people"
Officially Christians form 0.50 percent of Gujarat’s 63 million people. However, the actual number of church-going and practicing Christians is estimated at over 30 percent — and that is the cause of heartburn among right-wing Hindu outfits like JSM which was floated just for the very purpose of delisting converted tribals.
Ironically, this RSS-backed outfit is pushing a demand first raised in the 1960s by Congress MP Karthik Oraon who flagged the issue claiming that ST converts were getting a major chunk of reservation benefits.
After this, a joint parliamentary committee was formed in 1968 to examine the issue. Parliament finally dropped it, but the issue has now found resonance with the Hindu outfit which the Christian community sees as determined to “Hinduize” tribals.
Arguing that a section of tribals who have adopted other religions are getting double benefits — educating their children in Christian schools while taking jobs meant for tribal people — the JSM has organized several rallies in South Gujarat and other states where there is a sizable tribal population. BJP's national leaders and MPs have supported it.
And that makes South Gujarat’s Christian community believe that the BJP is going to reintroduce the old bill, underlining the old demand to de-list converted tribal people.
“We can only stop it if Congress comes to power in the center. Or else we have no chance,” Gamit said.
"The JSM wants a headcount to be carried out in churches and check records to find out the number of people who have been baptized"
The Christian community in South Gujarat had planned a protest in Vyara to counter the move for de-listing, but permission was not granted. “We will be meeting again next week to plan a further course of action,” said Gamit, who is spearheading the Christian group.
Tribal people, who are not sympathetic to the Hindu outfits, conversion cannot change tribal status. “Culturally, a tribal is always a tribal no matter what religion he practices,” said Sunil Gamit, a Congress MLA from Nizar in Tapi district, a Christian-dominated constituency.
The JSM wants a headcount to be carried out in churches and check records to find out the number of people who have been baptized.
With state elections due in December this year, the issue of de-listing and identifying “fake STs” — a euphemism for converts — is likely to heat up.
After all, it is a good election-winning recipe that can help polarize the tribal belt between tribals and converts — a win-win situation for the BJP which has already emerged as the dominant force replacing Congress in the tribal belt of South Gujarat that was once the Congress Party’s last bastion, which has started to crumble.

More than two years after the start of the pandemic, many are living their lives as if all the viral trouble is in the past. But family law attorney Elizabeth Yang said that’s not the case for everyone.
Yang is in a unique position in which she examines the effect of the pandemic on family life on a daily basis. And she said for many, the scars suffered over the past 28 months haven’t healed for many.
“I think the spike in cases is still going to continue,” Yang said about the uptick in divorce cases in California. “There are still a ton of people who are still at home hiding. If you go out in the street, it looks like normal. But for a lot of people the pandemic is still going on. For a good percentage of the population, it’s not normal yet. There are plenty of people who are still fearful.”
Because of this, stress has been building on people, especially those in relationships and those with children, Yang said, adding for many it has gotten to a breaking point.
“As it relates to family law, they’re still sticking it out, but a lot of couples who have been holed up together for two and a half years, they’re ready to get divorced, but they feel they just can’t because of their fears,” she said, adding many who want to get divorced are just as fearful of going back out into the world as they are of ending that relationship. “The divorce cases are still on the rise and parents are definitely still fighting. In one case, I had a client come into my office and say as he tested positive from COVID-19, his wife unilaterally withheld his child from him. She wouldn’t let him see his child for 10 days. So, he came to me and asked to get a custody agreement in writing so that she is not unilaterally calling the shots.”
And that happens more often than not.
“This scenario actually has been happening a lot over the course of the pandemic,” she said. “One parent will just do what he or she wants in what is claimed as the best interest of the child. But usually, it is trampling over the rights of the other parent, or worse yet, is in defiance of a court order.”
So, for parents who find themselves in this predicament, Yang said there is a solution. It is called co-parenting. And it will save a lot of trouble down the road if parents can get on this path right away, she added.
“If you don’t have a court order dictating the rules of the divorce and child custody, you need to come together and co-parent and put down an agreement in writing,” Yang said, “This will help you navigate the rules of the divorce and custody arrangement. And it will also probably help keep you out of the need of getting a court order somewhere down the road.”
What’s the first step? Yang said installing the Talking Parents app on your phone to communicate with the other parent will make things be civil. She said it’s much more efficient than What’s App.
“If you have (What’s App), imagine how much scrolling you have to do and how many screenshots you have to take,” she said. “Also, those messages can be manipulated later. Just go and download the Talking Parents app. It’s used by the court. Each message is time stamped, can be printed into one PDF for the court and, most importantly, nothing can be deleted once it’s been sent.”
The nothing can be manipulated or deleted part is really the beauty of the Talking Parents app, Yang said.
“It’s amazing to see how civil people become when they know things can’t be taken back, or, better yet, when they can be read by a judge,” she said.
Yang has seen a sharp increase in business during the pandemic and attributes that on not just the fact that people didn’t want to be stuck in a house together with nowhere to go, but also on the fact that in today’s world, the speed of it is causing many to crack.
“Yes, people realized they didn’t want to be together after being stuck in the same house for so long,” she said. “And there’s a lot of stress on society right now, which puts a lot of stress on couples. Right now the world is moving so much faster than for previous generations. It’s definitely taking a toll on many of us.”

‘Reba’ stars to join forces once again in Lifetime movie
Gather around Reba fans; news broke today that co-stars Melissa Peterman and Reba McEntire are gearing up to make magic again in an upcoming Lifetime movie inspired by the story of one of the few traveling judges in America, Kim Wheeler.
If you’ve got the theme song to Reba stuck in your head now, you’re not alone. With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter (yes, we went there) — McEntire will brave a circuit that leads her to work tragic cases, ones tougher than she’s ever seen before. One of those cases, the death of the former judge, brings her family into question, and Wheeler’s job intensifies significantly.
Deadline shared the news alongside the following synopsis for The Hammer.
“The Hammer follows Kim Wheeler (played by McEntire, who also executive produces), an outspoken, firecracker lawyer who is appointed Judge of the 5th District of Nevada and is one of the few traveling judges left in America. After the reigning judge dies under suspicious circumstances, Kim finds herself covering a circuit that stretches between Las Vegas and Reno — a rugged, often desolate area where anything and everything can happen.
“With gavel in hand, she lays down the law with a no-nonsense brand of justice, that quickly earns her the nickname “The Hammer.” As the investigation of the former judge’s death heats up, Kim’s sister Kris (Peterman), who runs the local brothel, suddenly becomes the prime suspect, and Kim must work even harder to make certain the appropriate justice is served.”
The Hammer will obviously follow a more serious tone than Reba, meaning we’ll see a different side of Peterman and McEntire. Still, their decades-long friendship will undeniably be on display. After all, if they can play enemies turned family on a fan favorite sitcom, the pair can play sisters with everything on the line.
Reba aired for six seasons and followed McEntire as the titular character living through a separation and subsequent divorce. If that wasn’t hard enough, her husband’s new partner had a deep desire to become her best friend, and that partner — named Barbara-Jean, was played by Peterman.
Their antics, friendship, and bond in the series carried over into their personal lives, and they have remained friends for years. If you’re suddenly missing Reba, you can read more about what the cast is up to now.
The Hammer currently has no release date yet, but we’ll keep you updated as we find out more. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/reba-stars-to-join-forces-once-again-in-lifetime-movie/ | 2022-07-01T07:09:28Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/reba-stars-to-join-forces-once-again-in-lifetime-movie/ | false | 1 |

Dubai investor in talks with Kenya to develop and run port services
Dubai Port World (DP World) is considering signing a concession agreement with Kenya to undertake the development, operation, management and expansion of transport logistics services in Kenya on various components.
Concession licences grant private parties the right to run and operate port terminals and infrastructure such as container freight, dry ports and storage facilities.
The company enjoys a cordial relationship with governments around the world by investing in infrastructure.
The agreement, if implemented, will see the leading provider of integrated logistics solutions take up concession deals that will give it the power to run at least four berths at the port of Mombasa, the three Lamu Port completed berths and three special economic zones.
Supreme commander
The revelation comes barely three months after President Uhuru Kenyatta met with a United Arab Emirates (UAE) delegation led by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
On February 15, President Kenyatta met the UAE team in Abu Dhabi where they discussed different ways to rejuvenate their bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefit of the people of the two countries.
On March 1, Kenya entered into a concession with DP World before the UAE delegation flew to Kenya on May 10 to review the status of the implementation of the economic and technical cooperation between the two countries.
A document dated March 30 addressed to DP World Chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and signed by National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani, who attended the talks in Nairobi and Abu Dhabi, confirms Kenya nominated DP World to develop and operate various port components in Mombasa, Lamu and Kisumu. In the document, Kenya nominated and appointed the logistics hub or any of its subsidiaries to act on behalf of the government of UAE as its agent who shall obtain the right to undertake the development, operation, management and expansion of transport logistics services in Kenya on various components.
Mr Yatani on Wednesday told The Standard that the government’s move is aimed at enhancing economic operations of the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor as well as converting the ports into a hub around the region, brushing off complaints by the Kenya Kwanza Alliance that the government was “auctioning”strategic national assets.
He said the successful completion of the agreement would depend on the willingness of the government that will be in office after August 9.
“There is little we can do between now and the next one month. We have only identified a framework of cooperation. This is a statement of intent and we are looking forward to having a relationship on this development. We want to create this (Lamu Port) as a nucleus of logistic development along our corridor and beyond,” he said.
While stating that Kenya would ensure that DP World does not unfairly benefit from the deal, Mr Yatani said the partnership was the government’s option to encourage economic activities along the Lapsset corridor.
Development plans
“Any government has long-term development plans. We also have long-term plans as far as Lapsset is concerned. Lapsset has been with us for 10 years. It’s the Lapsset dream to reach South Sudan. We have been working on expanding infrastructural projects in Mombasa, Nairobi, Nanyuki and Kisumu. We discovered that, for us to encourage economic activities along the corridor, we need to partner with renowned port developing companies – there are many in China, Singapore,” Mr Yatani said.
He said the partnership would help the government create an economic zone in Lamu to benefit traders dealing in imports from landlocked countries.
The Standard further reported the CS as indicating that Kenya’s existing bilateral deals with UAE touch on areas such as port management.
“In this case, we have a standing bilateral and economic cooperation with the government of UAE and have narrowed down to a number of sectors where UAE has an advantage such as logistics, port management and several other areas,” he said. If the concession agreement is implemented, DP World will redevelop berths 11 to 14 at the port of Mombasa, converting the four berths which are currently unable to handle container operations into a modern multi-purpose terminal capable of handling 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUS).
The Dubai operator will also be given consent to operate, develop and manage the container terminal at Lamu Port by equipping, operating and managing berths one to three of the container terminal and any other subsequent expansion.
Value addition
Kenya will also allow DP World to develop a special economic zone on 500 hectares, next to the Lamu Port, focused on agricultural value addition and servicing the Lamu corridor into Ethiopia and South Sudan.
The operator will also develop a cold chain and logistics park, transforming the port into a logistics hub for Western Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Additionally, it will provide the cold chain required to ensure that agricultural products and fish farmed in the region can be exported.
In the letter, DP World is also expected to develop Naivasha’s cold chain logistics park and link the cold chain and inland container depot to serve Central region and to enable the transfer of cargo en route from Mombasa to Kisumu via train on the standard gauge railway (SGR) to the metre gauge track .
Yesterday, port officials declined to comment on the matter, only referring queries to Mr Yatani, who was unavailable on his mobile phone.
Some of the projects to be undertaken by the Dubai operator include linking berths 11 to 14 at the port of Mombasa with the special economic zone that is about to be developed.
Implementation plan
The operator is expected to include an implementation plan for each project and is expected to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Kenyan government to enable access to information and documents to facilitate preparation of the detailed commercial proposal.
In the letter, Mr Yatani said the Attorney-General had cleared the concession agreement and was waiting for the DP World team to visit Kenya to independently undertake due diligence of all the components to enable preparation of a well-informed proposal.
The agreement comes at a time when Kenya is yet to disclose details of agreement for the construction of Sh382 billion SGR with the Chinese Exim Bank.
A section of Mombasa leaders, including Nyali MP Mohamed Ali, said licences for port terminals must be granted transparently. | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/dubai-investor-in-talks-with-kenya-to-develop-and-run-port-services-3865304 | 2022-07-01T07:12:35Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/dubai-investor-in-talks-with-kenya-to-develop-and-run-port-services-3865304 | false | 1 |
Mariano Boni, director of Variety at Globo, commented during the press conference held this Monday (27) at GExperience, about the broadcaster’s expectations with the new schedule for the mornings, in addition to reaffirming the channel’s commitment to the public. “This is a unique market differential, now speaking as a business. The other media in the market try to offer this, but they can’t, because in a desperate race for audience, revenue, clicks on social networks, who knows where, they appeal”, fired the executive.
The director also promised that the station’s team of presenters will never appeal for audience. “This team that is here, I assure you, has never appealed and will never appeal. Here we portray what happens in Brazil. It’s quite a challenge, but I’m very proud of this team and what they’ve done in the four years I’ve been in Entertainment”, he said, referring to Ana Maria Braga, Patrícia Poeta, Manoel Soares, Maria Beltrão, Rita Batista, Tiago Oliveira and Talitha Morete, who will lead Globo’s mornings from the first week of July.
In the sequence, Boni also highlighted the credibility that the public gives to the radio station’s morning shows. “At the current point where Brazilian society is, we truly believe in the importance and relevance of what we do for the Brazilian people”, he pointed out. “We believe that we have to offer on open TV, for free and live, content that contains 100% truth”, added the executive.
“We really work on Globo’s programs, all of them, but especially in the mornings. It is not by chance that I have this profile and I came from journalism to help put these programs, Mais Você, Encontro and É de Casa, in the role that we think they have to be, which is a tool for that people have a reason to call TV Globo every day. And every day most of the Brazilian people do it”, he added. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/01/globo-director-says-competing-broadcasters-appeal-for-audience/ | 2022-07-01T07:22:12Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/01/globo-director-says-competing-broadcasters-appeal-for-audience/ | false | 2 |

NOTE: Welcome to Citizen Spotlight, a new column that focuses on family, friends and everyone in our community working to keep the Mountain caring, diverse and vibrant. Today, we’ll be discussing a local business owner who met an American icon when he was a young boy.
Some would assume that a memory that’s been sitting idle in David Malmgren’s mind for 53 years would have long since faded, but the 58-year-old man can still remember everything about the summer of 1969 when he “rode with the Duke.”
Malmgren recalled, “I was on vacation with my entire family, my parents and my three older sisters. We went to a rodeo at Springerville rodeo grounds, and I remember seeing him from across the way. I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s John Wayne.’ ”
Film legend John Wayne, who at one time owned 26 Bar Ranch in Eagar, was a frequent visitor to the White Mountains. Filming movies in Arizona wasn’t rare, and he would often vacation on the Mountain. Seeing Wayne at a small-town rodeo was a dream come true for Malmgren.
“I was a little brat,” said Malmgren with a chuckle. “I was a little cowboy kid who had watched every western you could think of. So I come running across the parking lot, run right up to him and start pulling on his vest. I’m going, ‘pick me up, pick me up,’ just bugging the poor man.”
Brat or not, Wayne obliged the enthusiastic, young Malmgren. “At first, he said, “You’re too heavy, son,’ ” Malmgren mentioned. “But he eventually he lifted me off the ground and tucked me into his right arm. My mom and sister came over with these cameras and snapped a couple of pictures of us,” he said, gesturing to a photo he had resting next to him.
The photo is in a roughly 8-by-10-inch frame, and features a 62-year-old Wayne, dressed in a white shirt and brown vest wearing a brown-banded cowboy hat holding a 5-year-old boy.
“When I was older, I realized that he might’ve been real sick at the time, with the cancer and all. Lifting me up may have been bit harder for him than I realized,” said Malmgren.
Wayne had two brushes with cancer. Once in 1964 when he had a lung removed during treatment, and again in 1979 when he was diagnosed with stomach cancer that would go on to take his life.
“He didn’t say much, and he didn’t hold me for any great length of time. He set me down and I ran off just as excited as anyone could be,” said Malmgren. “He didn’t make a scene; he was just there. Nowadays, I don’t tell many people about it. Nobody believes me when I do.”
Malmgren has grown quite a bit since that day, and has settled down here in the White Mountains. Although “settled down” may not be the correct verbiage.
Malmgren moved to Phoenix from Rockford, Illinois, in 1964. He moved to the White Mountains in 2002, less than a week after crews had finished containing the Rodeo–Chediski Fire. “Everyone asked why we were moving here with the fire burning. I was in construction at the time, so I just figured we could rebuild something if we needed to.”
Malmgren was forced to find new work during the midst of the 2008 recession. “I started selling hay on the side of the road, just to make ends meet. We decided to open something up and we called it Awesome Hay Sales. Eventually, we took over a few other smaller shops in town and then we got the store we have now.”
The store he has now is Pet Food Warehouse, located in Show Low, which he owns and operates. “I’m a workaholic” admits Malmgren. “I’m always trying to stay a few steps ahead because I’m not the kind of guy that can sit around.”
Malmgren works at PFW almost daily, and doesn’t do much in the way of side activities. “I don’t watch much TV. I don’t really read as much as I probably should. I just work. It’s what I know.”
Malmgren lives in Vernon with his wife on a farm he’s built for them. He has three daughters who consistently chastise him for his excessive work habits.
“My daughter says that I live in a bubble, and I do. I clock 40 hours here on the farm and I clock 40 hours at the store,” he said.
When asked what keeps him going, he says, “We have the best customers on the Mountain. I tell folks all the time, I wouldn’t have a job without them. As hard as it is to say, the pandemic actually boosted our business, with more people staying at home and spending more time with their animals. That was an odd blessing, but I’m grateful.”
Malmgren also has his own feed line, called Awesome Feed, which is currently distributed by Alltech, the fourth largest animal-feed manufacturer in the country. “We have eight skus (stock-keeping units) now, and it’s been a blessing as well. The big-box stores definitely intimated us. If we hadn’t started our own feed line I don’t think we’d be talking right now.”
It’s not unfair to say that his store more than likely would’ve been fine. Malmgren lives and works in a community where he’s highly regarded. Many other local business owners reached out to the Independent to commend Malmgren for his work ethic and humble nature. When approached about the compliments, he said, “I don’t walk on water, and I don’t try or claim to. My beliefs come right out of the Bible: Treat people the way you want to be treated.”
While not a lifelong native of the White Mountains, Malmgren does consider himself a local, and he speaks often about the power of community.
“There’s a lot of people moving up here, and from a business perspective, it’s great. From a living perspective, we have to embrace and accept them. Everything is just getting bigger, and it doesn’t make sense to face that with a bad attitude. We have to stay good as a community. I plan on working for this community until the good Lord takes me.
“The people up here were the first thing I fell in love with, and they’re the reason I’m never leaving,” he said.
Kind words from a kind man, who rode with the Duke in 1969. David Malmgren is definitely a citizen who deserves his day in the spotlight.

July 26 court date for couple on cocaine charge
WESTERN BUREAU:
SHEENA HEADLEY, the bank employee who was arrested after the police reportedly found cocaine valued at $85 million in her motor vehicle, and her husband Chad Headley, are scheduled to make their next appearance before the St James Parish Court on July 26.
The couple, who are charged with possession of, dealing in, and taking steps to export 25 pounds of cocaine, made their first court appearance on June 24, where they were each granted bail in the sum of $5 million by Parish Judge Sasha Ashley.
They were represented during that bail hearing by attorneys Maurice McCurdy, who is Sheena Headley’s lawyer, and Martyn Thomas, who represents Chad Headley.
The couple’s first day in court came ahead of an expected court date published by the Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), which had indicated that the matter would be heard on Wednesday, June 29. Their case was not listed for hearing when The Gleaner attended on Wednesday.
However, in a brief interview outside of court, Thomas confirmed that the couple had been granted bail on Friday with conditions attached.
OFFERED BAIL
“They were both placed before the court last Friday, and were offered bail in the sum of $5 million each. I argued for bail for Chad Headley on the grounds that he had surrendered into police custody and that he poses no risk of flight, plus his travel documents were ready to be surrendered,” Thomas explained.
“The two were given reporting conditions, plus a stop order was put in place for them, and they were ordered to surrender their travel documents,” Thomas added.
It remains unclear why the case was heard on Friday, ahead of Wednesday’s court date as released by the CCU.
According to the allegations, at about 6 p.m. on June 15, a team of officers from the Area One Narcotics Police Division carried out an operation at the Headleys’ premises in Goodwill, St James. During the search, 10 rectangular-shaped packages were found in the trunk of a Toyota Prado SUV belonging to Sheena Headley.
The packages were subsequently identified as cocaine weighing approximately 25 pounds, and following an interview session in the presence of her lawyer, Sheena Headley was arrested and charged with breaches of the Dangerous Drugs Act.
The Narcotics Police subsequently issued a release asking Chad Headley to report to the Summit Police Station in Montego Bay, St James, while identifying him as a person of interest who could assist in their investigation. He was later arrested and charged. | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220701/july-26-court-date-couple-cocaine-charge | 2022-07-01T07:24:47Z | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220701/july-26-court-date-couple-cocaine-charge | true | 1 |

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 — Malaysians returning to the country are no longer required to fill the Traveller’s Pass feature in the MySejahtera application beginning July 4.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that the removal of the feature was to ease travel procedures for returning Malaysians, as the country’s current public health situation is positive.
“The removal of the requirement will happen in stages, and we will also be easing travel back to the country for those with social passes, student visas and permanent residence, for which the date will be announced soon.
“For now, this will only be applicable to Malaysian citizens,” he said in a statement today.
He also reiterated that foreigners who want to travel to Malaysia must continue to provide their details to the Traveller’s Pass in MySejahtera before entering the country.
“Aside from tracking Covid-19 that could potentially enter the country, this function will also help the Health Ministry to keep a close eye on other infectious diseases like Monkey Pox from abroad,” he said. | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/01/khairy-mysejahtera-travellers-pass-scrapped-for-inbound-malaysians-from-july-4/15206 | 2022-07-01T07:25:39Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/01/khairy-mysejahtera-travellers-pass-scrapped-for-inbound-malaysians-from-july-4/15206 | false | 1 |

The EU has moved to rein in the “wild west” of crypto assets by agreeing a groundbreaking set of rules for the sector.
Representatives from the European parliament and EU states thrashed out an agreement on Thursday that contains measures to guard against market abuse and manipulation, as well as requiring that crypto firms provide details of the environmental impact of their assets.
“Today, we put order in the wild west of crypto assets and set clear rules for a harmonised market,” said Stefan Berger, the German MEP who led negotiations on behalf of the parliament.
Referring to the recent slump in cryptocurrency prices – the total value of the market has fallen from $3tn (£2.5tn) last year to less than $900bn – Berger added: “The recent fall in the value of digital currencies shows us how highly risky and speculative they are and that it is fundamental to act.”
The markets in crypto assets (MiCA) law is expected to come into force at about the end of 2023. Globally, crypto assets are largely unregulated, with national operators in the EU required only to show controls for combating money laundering. The MiCA law is also expected to set a benchmark for other regulatory regimes for crypto globally.
Cryptocurrency is the term for a group of digital assets that share the same underlying structure as bitcoin: a publicly available “blockchain” that records ownership without having any central authority in control.
The sector’s supporters have said it represents a good investment because, for instance, it carries low fees and, unlike conventional currencies, is not tied to governments. However, its detractors say a lack of regulatory oversight or implicit government support, because of crypto and bitcoin’s independent origins, make it susceptible to scams and wild fluctuations in price.
MiCA will be the first comprehensive regime for crypto assets in the world and will contain strong measures to guard against market abuse and manipulation, added Ernest Urtasun, a Green party MEP.
The new law gives issuers of crypto assets and providers of related services a “passport” to serve clients across the EU from a single base, while meeting capital and consumer protection rules.
EU negotiations on Thursday also focused on issues such as supervision and energy consumption of crypto assets.
“We have agreed that crypto asset providers should in future disclose the energy consumption and environmental impact of assets,” Berger said.
The UK and US, two major crypto centres, have yet to approve similar rules, although regulators in both countries have warned of the need for stronger safeguards in the sector.
Crypto assets came under pressure after the collapse of TerraUSD and luna tokens last month, with the major US cryptocurrency lending company Celsius Network freezing withdrawals and transfers. However, the sector has also proven susceptible to wider economic factors.
These include stock market declines linked to rising inflation and ensuing increases in interest by central banks. Raising rates – a path taken by the US, UK and Swiss central banks last month – can make risky assets less attractive. For instance, certain tech stocks, whose price can be based on expectations of strong future earnings over many decades, can be less appealing than the fixed returns on offer immediately from investments such as bonds, which become more attractive in a higher lending rate environment.
The regulatory breakthrough came as India’s central bank said cryptocurrencies were based on “make believe”. The bank’s latest financial stability report said cryptocurrencies were no more than “sophisticated speculation”.
The bank’s governor, Shaktikanta Das, wrote: “Cryptocurrencies are a clear danger. Anything that derives value based on make believe, without any underlying [value], is just speculation under a sophisticated name. While technology has supported the reach of the financial sector and its benefits must be fully harnessed, its potential to disrupt financial stability has to be guarded against.
“As the financial system gets increasingly digitalised, cyber risks are growing and need special attention.” | https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/01/eu-moves-to-rein-in-wild-west-of-crypto-assets-with-new-rules | 2022-07-01T07:26:42Z | https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/01/eu-moves-to-rein-in-wild-west-of-crypto-assets-with-new-rules | false | 1 |
At least 18 dead in Russian missile attack on Odesa
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missile attacks on residential areas in a coastal town near the Ukrainian port city of Odesa early Friday killed at least 18 people, including two children, authorities reported, a day after Russian forces withdrew from a strategic Black Sea island.
Video of the pre-dawn attack showed the charred remains of buildings in the small town of Serhiivka, located about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of Odesa. Ukrainian news reports said missiles struck a multi-story apartment building and a resort area.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Kirill Tymoshenko, said 18 people died, including two children. A spokesman for the Odesa regional government, Serhiy Bratchuk, said on the Telegram messaging app that another 30 had been injured.
Sixteen of the 18 victims died in the strike on the apartment building, Ukrainian emergency officials said.
The airstrikes followed the pullout of Russian forces from Snake Island on Thursday, a move that was expected to potentially ease the threat to nearby Odesa. The island sits along a busy shipping lane. Russia took control of it in the opening days of the war in the apparent hope of using it as a staging ground for an assault on Odesa.
The Kremlin portrayed the pullout from Snake Island as a “goodwill gesture.” Ukraine’s military claimed a barrage of its artillery and missiles forced the Russians to flee in two small speedboats. The exact number of withdrawing troops was not disclosed.
Russian bombardments killed large numbers of civilians earlier in the war. There were fewer mass casualties as Moscow concentrated on capturing eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
However, a missile strike that hit a shopping mall in Kremenchuk in central Ukraine killed at least 19 people Monday and injured another 62, authorities said.
