CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 1, 2022
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- June marks the start of the 2022 hurricane season and forecasters are predicting above average activity. Chattanooga Gas is encouraging its customers to prepare for the severe inland storms an active storm season can bring.
Chattanooga Gas' number one value is safety and the company reminds customers to keep safety first as they prepare for the threat of severe weather. The company offers these natural gas safety tips for customers to remember:
Meter Safety
- Know the location of your natural gas meter.
- Do not attempt to turn off your gas supply at the meter. Only Chattanooga Gas or emergency personnel should turn the valve on or off.
- Leaving natural gas meters on helps to maintain proper pressure in the gas lines. It also can prevent water from entering the fuel lines should flooding occur.
- Following severe weather, make sure your natural gas meter is visible, and the area surrounding the meter is free of trash and debris. Mechanical equipment used during storm clean-up could damage the meter if it is hidden.
- If your natural gas meter is damaged or an underground gas line is exposed, leave the area immediately and call 911 or the Chattanooga Gas 24-hour emergency response line at 866-643-4170 from a safe location.
Appliance Safety – Before and After the Storm
- Leave your natural gas appliances connected in severe weather. Most modern gas appliances have safety valves that shut off the flow of natural gas automatically if there is a loss of gas pressure or flooding of the appliances.
- If you are not comfortable leaving your appliances connected, contact a certified plumber or HVAC representative to shut off your appliances at the cutoff valves. When it is safe to do so, have them return to turn the valves back on, leak test the line and ensure the appliance is safe to operate.
- If flooding occurs at your property and the gas appliances are underwater, please do not use the appliances until a safety inspection is conducted by a certified plumber or HVAC representative.
Damage Prevention
- Intense winds and saturated ground can cause trees to become uprooted. Contact Tennessee 811 to request that the underground utility lines be marked. This is important because the tree roots could become tangled with utility lines.
- If a natural gas meter is damaged or a natural gas line is exposed, please immediately leave the area and call 911 or the Chattanooga Gas 24-hour emergency response line at 866-643-4170 from a safe location.
Detecting Gas Leaks
- If you smell the distinctive "rotten-egg" odor associated with natural gas, leave the area immediately and move away from the potential leak.
- Look for blowing dirt, discolored vegetation or continued bubbling in standing water.
- Never try to identify the source of a leak or stop the leak on your own.
- Avoid using any sources of ignition, such as cell phones, cigarettes, matches, flashlights, electronic devices, motorized vehicles, light switches or landlines, as natural gas can ignite from a spark and cause a fire or explosion.
- Call the or the Chattanooga Gas 24-hour emergency response line at 866-643-4170 or 911 once you are in a safe location away from potential leak.
Generator Safety
- Generators can be helpful after a storm but dangerous if not used properly. The primary hazards to avoid when using a generator are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, electric shock or electrocution and fire.
- Never use a generator in an enclosed or partially enclosed space.
- Never try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as "backfeeding."
- Plug appliances directly into the generator or use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads.
- During a power outage, natural gas generators provide continuous fuel supply from an existing natural gas line. While these units are available in a range of sizes to meet various energy needs, please contact Chattanooga Gas prior to the purchase and installation to determine whether their service line and meter meet load requirements for the generator's safe and efficient operation.

Outright lies about the 2020 presidential election and the House select committee's January 6 investigation were front and center during the Republican Wyoming primary debate on Thursday. Rep. Liz Cheney, who sits on the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack, faced off against four challengers, including Trump-backed Harriet Hageman.
It almost felt like a Saturday Night Live skit. Still, sadly, this was real life as Cheney, Hageman, Robyn Belinskey, Senator Anthony Bouchard, and Denton Knapp touched on issues such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, COVID-19, and, of course, the 2020 presidential election. And once again, Cheney appeared to be the only adult in the room. I can't stand her politics, but everyone else up on stage was batshit crazy.
Cheney stuck with the facts.
"I think absolutely there's no question that what we saw happen on January 6 was clearly an attempt to delay the count of the electoral votes," Cheney said. "Anybody who was there understands the violence that was involved."
Then Cheney appeared to take a shot at Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman over her crazy-time opinion on the January 6 Capitol attack.
"I'm frankly stunned that one of my opponents on the stage, who is a member of the Wyoming bar, who has sworn an oath as many of us on this stage have to the Constitution, would be in a position where she is suggesting that somehow what happened on January 6 was justified or that somehow what happened that day, the people have the right to ignore the rulings of the courts."

My Doris Enamel Brass Vase
We know that flowers always make a lovely gift, no matter what the occasion, but pair a bouquet with a bright enamel vase from My Doris and your present will last for more than a few days.
Each vase is crafted by skilled artisans in India and made from solid brass that’s hand-enamelled with glossy colour. Fans of kitsch pastels will love the bubblegum pink, while those with an earthier aesthetic will prefer the burnt orange.
Fill with everything from daffodils to cheerful tulips and watch your recipient’s face light up…

SAO PAULO (AP) — More video in Brazilian media shows retired Formula One champion Nelson Piquet using homophobic language and more racial slurs about Lewis Hamilton.
The website Grande Prêmio published video late Thursday — apparently filmed last year with Piquet speaking in Portuguese — in which the 69-year-old Brazilian used homophobic language to say the British driver wasn’t focused to challenge Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg for the 2016 title, which the German won. There was also a fourth instance of a racial slur about Hamilton, who is Black.
For earlier slurs that came to wider attention this week, Piquet has already been widely condemned by F1, drivers, teams, and governing body, the FIA.
On a podcast last November, Piquet discussed a crash between Hamilton and Max Verstappen during last year’s British Grand Prix. Piquet referred to Hamilton as “neguinho” in Portuguese, which means “little Black guy.” The term is not necessarily a racist slur in Brazil, but it is an expression that is increasingly seen as distasteful, and its phrasing can also emphasize that.
Piquet apologized to Hamilton on Wednesday, but said the term, while “ill thought out,” was not meant to be offensive. He added “neguinho” can be used as a short for “people in general.” But his phrasing in that part of the video left no doubt he was singling out Hamilton as “the little Black guy,” to which he added a homophobic slur.
Piquet’s spokesman did not comment about the video published late Thursday after a request from The Associated Press.
There was no immediate response from Hamilton or Verstappen to the Grande Prêmio footage.
Piquet was suspended on Thursday from his honorary membership of the British Racing Drivers’ Club, which owns and runs the Silverstone track, the site of this week’s grand prix.
Hamilton has called for “archaic mindsets” to change. After former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone defended Piquet on British TV, Hamilton questioned why “older voices” are given prominence in F1.
Series leader Verstappen, who is in a relationship with Piquet’s daughter, Kelly Piquet, said on Thursday that Piquet used a “very, very offensive” word to describe Hamilton but he did not believe Piquet to be a racist.
Piquet, the F1 champion in 1981, 1983 and 1987, has divided F1 fans in Brazil for continuing to disparage fellow Brazilian star Ayton Senna, and questioning his sexuality without proof.
Senna, a hero of Hamilton’s, was killed in a crash in 1994 at the San Marino GP. Still, Piquet has made homophobic references to Senna, most recently in a 2020 interview.
Piquet has also angered F1 fans for his staunch support of far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Piquet supporters have said on social media that the recent video of Piquet has gone viral as part of a political smear campaign against the president.

TORONTO - The Italian job is underway at Toronto FC.
Domenico Criscito took part in his first Toronto practice Friday while fellow Italian newcomer Lorenzo Insigne trained separately indoors.
Toronto coach Bob Bradley, whose team hosts the Seattle Sounders on Saturday, said Insigne is recovering from a calf injury picked up in Europe prior to his arrival here.
“It’s day-to-day,” said Bradley. “When players come halfway through the year, especially if they’re carrying a little, small injury, it’s important to make sure that the return (to play) is handled really well. So we’re going to be on top of that and try to move it along the smartest way.”
Toronto has a lot invested in the former Napoli captain, whose four-year deal makes him Major League Soccer’s highest-paid player — eclipsing the US$8.13 million that Chicago’s Xherdan Shaqiri is making this season
Insigne emerged from the training centre to pose for photos in TFC colours. Criscito, the former Genoa skipper, took time out before practice to greet a group of some 20 fans behind a fence at the training ground.
Both players are eligible to make their debut July 9 against the visiting San Jose Earthquakes after the league’s secondary transfer window opens July 7.
The 31-year-old Insigne, a forward, will wear his trademark No. 24, which Canadian Jacob Shaffelburg gave up this season for the Italian. Shaffelburg now wears No. 22.
Criscito, a 35-year-old defender whose normal No. 4 is taken by captain Michael Bradley, will wear No. 44. Raheem Edwards and Omar Gonzales have worn 44 in the past for Toronto.
“We know what they’re like as players. You really want to know who the man behind the jersey is,” said goalkeeper Alex Bono. “They seem like good guys.
“We have a really good camaraderie among the group with veterans and young guys. Everyone seems to be really comfortable at this moment in time. We’re hoping that they can integrate quickly and kind of grow that culture that we’ve started in the locker room.”
After losing 2-1 midweek to a familiar foe in the Columbus Crew, Toronto gets a rare crack at Seattle on Saturday.
It’s their first meeting since the 2019 MLS Cup final, won 3-1 by Seattle in its home stadium — a championship loss that was followed by a two-season Toronto tumble down the standings.
Toronto and Seattle have met just 14 times in league play (with the Sounders holding a 9-3-2 edge in the series), compared to TFC’s 40 encounters with Columbus (the Crew leads the series 17-11-12).
Seattle has won the last three meetings, with Toronto’s last victory coming in the 2017 MLS Cup final, a 2-0 win for TFC at BMO Field.
“Any time you see Seattle on your schedule it brings back memories,” said Bono. “It brings back some good times and some times that hurt a little bit more.
“Obviously they’re always a dangerous team, no matter who they have on the field, no matter how their season’s going.”
The stakes aren’t as high Saturday with Seattle, seventh in the Western Conference at 7-7-2, arriving five points ahead of Toronto, 12th in the East at 5-9-3.
“Seattle is still a top team. They proved it winning the (CONCACAF) Champions League,” said Bob Bradley. “Very experienced. Guys that have been together, play with a hard edge.”
After a 2-5-1 start to the season, the Sounders have found their rhythm, although they saw a four-game unbeaten run (3-0-1) end in a midweek 2-1 loss to visiting CF Montreal. It was the first defeat for the Sounders since May 22.
Seattle has lost just two of its last eight MLS contests (5-2-1) despite missing star Peruvian forward Raul Ruidiaz and Ecuador defender Xavier Arreaga in recent matches with hamstring issues.
Ruidiaz, who has led the Sounders in scoring the last five seasons, has been out since June 14 with a hamstring injury.
Toronto failed to convert a slew of scoring chances against Columbus, with young Canadian striker Ayo Akinola pulled at halftime after just 11 touches.
“Ayo didn’t give us enough the other day,” Bob Bradley said bluntly. “He and I spoke about that after training today. He has ty be more engaged in the game, has to have a greater presence.”
But in Akinola’s defence, Bradley said Columbus’ low block did not give the forward much space to operate in.
“Those kinds of games, as a young forward, are challenging,” he said.
Wednesday marked the 25th straight league game that Toronto has allowed a goal. There have only been six longer regular-season stretches without a clean sheet in MLS history.
TFC, 0-5-3 on the road, is also one of four teams yet to win away from home in league play this season (along with Colorado, San Jose and expansion Charlotte).
Seattle has also been spotty away from home with a 2-4-1 record to rank 16th in the league. The Sounders have won just two of their last 11 road matches (2-6-3), dating back to last October, and have lost three of their last four away (1-3-0).
Seattle has kept just one clean sheet in its last 15 away matches, dating back to last August.
Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westberg and defender Carlos Salcedo, who both missed the midweek game, trained Friday. Westberg is listed as questionable after taking a knock to the knee in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Atlanta. Salcedo had been dealing with a family matter, according to Bradley.
“We’re hopeful that both can be available,” said the coach.
Midfielder Noble Okello remains out.

Minnesota United returns to Allianz Field on Sunday for its first MLS home game since late May, and it does so without its top two central midfielders.
Wednesday's starter Kervin Arriaga injured his ankle in the first two minutes of a 3-2 victory at L.A. Galaxy. An MRI taken on Thursday shows ligament damage that coach Adrian Heath said could sideline Arriaga "two, three, maybe four weeks, which is a huge blow."
Arriaga's would-be replacement, Joseph Rosales, is suspended for Sunday's game against Real Salt Lake after he received two successive yellow cards for pushing back. By doing so, he helped create a post-game skirmish after the Galaxy's Douglas Costa struck him in the head from behind with a forearm after the final whistle.
After Wednesday's game, Heath called Rosales' reaction "stupidity personified."
After Friday's training in Blaine, Heath was asked if he had a chat with Rosales about those two yellow cards and the red card that resulted from them.
"I don't think 'chat' is the right word," Heath said. "But yes, we did. We addressed it. I think that's the best way of saying it. … Joseph reacting the way he did has not helped us for this weekend."
Arriaga's injury and Rosales' suspension seemingly creates opportunity at their position for veteran Jacori Hayes. "We'll see where we are," Heath said.
Striker Luis Amarilla also left Wednesday's game in the first half because of a strained adductor.
"He feels a lot better today," Heath said. "That might have a bearing on what we do with the group." | https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-united-kervin-arriaga-injured-joseph-rosales-suspended-adrian-heath/600187004/ | 2022-07-01T19:46:21Z | https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-united-kervin-arriaga-injured-joseph-rosales-suspended-adrian-heath/600187004/ | false | 2 |

LAS VEGAS, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 14, 2022, Patriot Holdings launched its third fund, Patriot Fund III, to acquire land and develop state-of-the-art self-storage, small bay industrial, and industrial facilities in high demand locations.
Patriot Holdings is a commercial real estate private equity group based in Las Vegas, NV and Keene, NH. Founded in 2007 by Jeremiah Boucher, Patriot Holdings owns and operates over $280MM (AUM) of commercial real estate, representing over 70 properties comprised of over 2,000,000 square feet of commercial property.
Patriot Holdings is raising its third fund concurrently with its Fund II, which is focused on acquiring and improving existing self-storage and industrial facilities. Its first fund of $15 million received a surplus of interest and was closed to new investors on May 31, 2020.
"We see a tremendous opportunity today to not just acquire existing facilities, but to develop facilities from the ground up in locations with limited competition, with a demographic profile that matches the profiles of our most successful self-storage and industrial facilities already in the market," said Jeremiah Boucher, CEO at Patriot Holdings.
Boucher continues, "The purpose of this fund is to segment the investors that are interested in longer term projects with long term value appreciation opportunities, as opposed to more cash flow focused funds like our first and second fund."
Patriot Holdings has grown a vertically integrated team in-house with over 50 real estate professionals across several key divisions. By developing an in-house engineering, construction, and market research team, Patriot can develop properties at affordable budgets and on schedule in an environment of rising building costs.
"We've been developing commercial real estate for over a decade," said Tim Wilkins, Managing Member of Patriot Holdings. "This is the first time we will do it in a formal fund structure, as opposed to individual syndications, but this is nothing new for us in terms of process and execution."
Patriot Holdings' self-storage brand, All-Purpose Storage, is the fastest growing self-storage brand in New England and was ranked as 68 out of 100 in Inside Self-Storage's Top-Operators List in 2021.
The company plans to close its Fund III by the end of 2022 and has already begun selecting plots of land that are ideal for future development.

Oakland,California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 1, 2022) - Work-Life Brilliance has announced the launch of three courses that can help people enhance their emotional well-being and develop mechanisms to cope with the challenges they face in their lives.
Work-Life Brilliance's flagship program is a 12-week live transformational program targeting women who are struggling with feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and lack of productivity. In live sessions with Denise Green, executive coach and founder of the company, they learn to take control of their lives using several tips and techniques.
Work-Life Brilliance offers a course named "Reduce Overwhelm & Boost Productivity" that teaches people how to become productive by learning techniques to do more in less time. Its holistic approach allows clients to create lasting habits quickly.
By nature, human beings are hardwired to focus more on negative thoughts than positive ones. The "Upgrade your Thoughts, Upgrade your Life" course equips people with greater control over their thoughts and, therefore, their lives. The course achieves this by helping them to work on changing habits that might be hampering their emotional wellness and instead supports the development of relationships and habits that can contribute to their well-being. These two courses involve the use of videos, workbooks, and tools to help clients significantly boost their mental health.
The team at Work-Life Brilliance has helped thousands of people to achieve their true potential with simple but effective tools, techniques, and coaching.
The programs allow clients to feel more at ease with themselves and develop skills to overcome roadblocks like fear, anxiety, and stress.
Commenting on the courses and programs that are available through Work-Life Brilliance, Denise Green, executive coach, author, and motivational speaker, said, "I set up Work-Life Brilliance to help people who are feeling overwhelmed and stuck become calm, confident, and successful. Through the courses, my book, our podcast, and the live transformational program, we provide our clients with the materials and tools they need to change the course of their lives. They'll reduce stress and achieve fulfillment in their personal and professional lives by changing themselves from the inside out. We help people understand how their brains are programmed and then upgrade the programming so they can achieve the success they want in the areas of health, wealth, and relationships, changing the course they're on, and at the end of their life, have no regrets."

Comparing Online Casinos in Nevada
It is clear that there is a lot to unpack when looking for the best online casino in Nevada. All of the top 10 options are worth considering but each one is unique in terms of bonuses, games, and other features. So, to help you narrow it down, we will compare them in the following table:
Is it Legal to Play at Online Casinos in Nevada?
Online gambling is legal in Nevada, but the state only regulates and issues licenses for sports betting and poker online. As a result, there aren’t any licensed Nevada online casinos that offer real money games. This may seem a bit strange given the fact that the state is known for its casino gaming options.
The good news is that players can easily access a real online casino in Nevada that is based offshore. As we’ve shown above, there are actually many internet casinos worth checking out. These are legal and provide real money games with the freedom to withdraw the winnings at any time.
Who Can Legally Play at Online Casinos in Nevada?
State gambling laws include a minimum gambling age of 21 years in Nevada. However, some sites can accept players starting with the minimum age of 18. We recommend checking the terms, or asking the support team in advance if you are at this limit.
In order to play for real money at a Nevada online casino, you will need a supported banking method. If you are using debit or credit cards to deposit, these have to be in your name, for extra security.
How to Play at Online Casinos from Nevada Legally
If you meet the above requirements and you are ready to start, it only takes a few short steps to play at Nevada casinos online. We will be using our top recommendation, Wild Casino, to show you the entire process. The steps are similar with most of the top 10 gaming sites in NV.
Step 1: Go to the Nevada Online Casino Site
Simply go to the preferred NV online casino from our list. Open the browser and visit Wild Casino. Here, click on the “Join Now” button to start the registration process.
Step 2: Enter the Required Casino Details
The sign-up form at Wild Casino is straightforward and only requires some personal details. Enter your name, phone number, date of birth, and email. Also set a preferred casino password and you are ready to create the account.
Step 3: Bring Up the Cashier
Sign in on the site using your email address and the selected casino password. You can open the cashier from the account menu. Here, you can browse the different payment methods available on the platform.
Step 4: Enter the Bonus Code
On the deposit page, there is a bonus code box. You can manually enter the promo code here, or select the bonus from the list. Keep in mind that Wild Casino has an exclusive bonus for the first deposit by crypto.
Step 5: Enjoy the Nevada Online Casino Games
The bonus will be awarded automatically once you complete the deposit. You can now browse and enjoy the many Nevada real money online casino games on the site. Check out the hot slots and start winning!
When Will Online Casinos be Legal in Nevada?
It is difficult to predict when Nevada will legalize and license online casinos within its borders. So far, the state doesn’t seem very interested in the prospect since it would increase the competition for local casinos. This in turn might affect Las Vegas tourism, which would hurt the state economy.
On the other hand, allowing local casino operators to launch online helped the industry in New Jersey. Granted, the NJ casinos weren’t doing so well before the change in regulations.
As it stands right now, Nevada isn’t anywhere close to legalizing and licensing real money online casinos. Competition in the online landscape is already building in other states so NV might just remain focused on its land-based casino appeal.
Tax on Online Casino Winnings in Nevada
If you are based in Nevada and you win a substantial amount at local casinos in Las Vegas, you have to pay a federal tax of 24% on those winnings. However, this isn’t the case for winnings at offshore online casinos. These operators don’t withhold 24% of your jackpots for the IRS. And, since Nevada doesn’t have an individual income tax, you don’t have to worry about that either.
As a result, you don’t have to pay any taxes when you play at a real money online casino in Nevada.
Payment Methods Available at Nevada Casino Sites
Depending on the Nevada online casino you choose, you have a range of payment methods to choose from. Each one comes with some advantages and disadvantages and it all comes down to your personal preference. The following details can help you find the right fit.
Crypto at NV Casinos
Cryptocurrency banking has become very popular at online casinos, especially those licensed offshore. Top picks include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. However, some sites can accept more than 15 different altcoins. Crypto deposits are normally instant and free of charge, while withdrawals are much quicker than traditional methods.
eWallets at NV Casinos
Electronic wallets, known simply as eWallets, can be very convenient for gaming, especially for players who already have accounts. Top picks include PayPal and Neteller. They facilitate easy transfers with low fees and can also be great for fast withdrawals. The downside is that not many Nevada Las Vegas online casinos accept eWallets right now.
Traditional Payment Methods
Credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers remain frequently used payment methods for online gambling. These are widely available among players and accepted at most Nevada online casinos. However, withdrawals to credit or debit cards aren’t supported and bank transfers can have fees. Not to mention that traditional payment options are often slower than other methods.
Bonuses Available at Nevada Online Casinos
One of the key aspects where local casinos in Las Vegas and Nevada online casinos differ is in bonuses. Online gambling sites offer many more promotional incentives to join the action and continue betting. In fact, there are multiple types of bonuses that you can benefit from right now at a top online casino in NV.
Match Deposit Bonuses
This is the most common bonus type that you can find at basically every real money online casino in Nevada. A match deposit bonus represents a percentage of the deposited sum, awarded as extra bonus funds. The most common offer is a 100% match, which basically doubles the player’s bankroll.
Other match deposit bonuses can be of 150%, 200% or even more. For example, Xbet Casino has a first deposit bonus match of 200%, up to $500. If we deposit $150, we get $300 as a bonus and we have $450 to bet with.
No Deposit Bonuses
As the name implies, a Nevada online casino no deposit bonus is awarded to players without requiring them to deposit additional funds. These offers can come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from sign-up bonuses to slots tournaments with real prizes. You can normally find them listed in various promotions.
For example, BetOnline Casino has a live casino leaderboard challenge where you earn a point for every $10 you bet on eligible tables. The top three participants with the most points at the end of the week receive shares of the $1,800 prize pool.
Free Spins
Since slots are very popular, it is not uncommon for an online casino in Nevada to offer free spins bonuses. These can be as deposit deals or no deposit offers. However, you should note that bonus free spins are normally limited to one or a few slots games. You won’t be able to play all the games in the collection with the rounds.
Las Atlantis Casino is known for its many bonus codes, some of which award large amounts of free spins. You can deposit with the code ANCIENTSPINS to get up to 170 spins for the slots game Wild Hog Luau.
Popular Online Casino Games to Play in Nevada
Another advantage of online casinos over their land-based counterparts in Las Vegas is the range of games. The top gaming sites can have a large library of gaming options that cover slots, tables, video poker, and more. Furthermore, the betting range is often more accommodating for different types of players. And, you don’t have to wait in line.
Online Slots at Nevada Casino Sites
Slot games are definitely the go-to options at Nevada Las Vegas online casinos. They are very easy to play, since all you have to do is set the bet and spin the reels. However, the bonus features make the gameplay exciting with wilds, free spins, bonus rounds, and the potential to win big. Moreover, the theme can cover just about anything you can think of, from gems in Starburst to vampires in Immortal Romance.
Table Roulette at Nevada Casino Sites
Online roulette remains a popular choice among casino players. The simple mechanics and the wide range of betting options make roulette a perfect fit for many. You can bet on one number or on multiple options, with the result being determined randomly. We recommend European roulette over the American version because it has a lower house edge. Both of them and more are available at Wild Casino.
Table Blackjack at Nevada Casino Sites
Blackjack is one of the very few online casino games where the player can influence the outcome. You have the choice to hit or stand in every hand and the goal is to get as close to 21 as possible, without going over it. Special versions of casino blackjack can add extra side bets for the chance to claim bigger payouts. Pirate 21, Blackjack Switch, and 21 Burn are exciting and BetOnline has the best tables.
Table Baccarat at Nevada Casino Sites
Baccarat first became popular in casinos in Macau and then made its way to Las Vegas. It is actually very easy to play as you only have to choose between two sides, the Banker and the Player. There is also the option to bet on a tie, but the house edge is big and we don’t recommend it. The hand with the most points wins the round. MyBookie has four versions of baccarat that we recommend.
Table Poker at Nevada Casino Sites
Poker is easily one of the most played casino games in Las Vegas. It is so popular in fact that it comes in many different variations. Casino poker, like Tri Card Poker, Let It Ride, Caribbean Poker, Pai Gow, and Oasis Poker, is played against the house.
However, some of the top Nevada online casinos also have real money poker rooms where you can play against other players. Bovada Poker has the best traffic, which results in large tournaments and plenty of cash games for Texas Hold’em and Omaha.
Video Poker at Nevada Casino Sites
Video poker is another casino game where the outcome can be improved with the right strategy. Again, this is because the player has some influence over the final hand. You can choose to replace any of the five initial cards. There are multiple variations of the game, like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Aces & Faces, and Joker Poker. We recommend BetOnline casino for the premium machines.
Table Craps at Nevada Casino Sites
Craps is popular throughout the USA and is commonly found in Las Vegas casinos. Online gaming sites also include the game as a single-player option. You can set the bet and throw the pair of dice at your own pace. There are various betting options to consider for the roll, from a simple pass to the exact outcome. You can practice for free or play for real money at Xbet Casino in Nevada.
Keno at Nevada Casino Sites
Keno is available at many of the best NV online casinos, usually found under “Specialty Games” or “Other Games”. It is a lottery-like casino game where you can choose 15 numbers between 1 and 80. Then, the game randomly selects 15 numbers and you receive a payout based on how many you match. Wild Casino even has a Keno Vegas option with a progressive jackpot.
Bingo at Nevada Casino Sites
Casino Bingo is similar to the standard bingo games played throughout the USA. You start the game and place your bets. You then receive one or several tickets and the random draw begins. The payout is based on the numbers matched on the tickets and the patterns they create. Cafe Casino is great for online bingo and it has several variants, like Bingo Goal, Bingo Ribeirinhos, and Amazon Bingo.
Other Table Games at Nevada Casino Sites
The list of table games can continue when playing at a NV online casino. Other titles may include:
- Three Card Rummy
- Casino War
- Andar Bahar
- Red Dog
- Draw High Low
- Teen Patti
- Scratch Cards
Live Casinos in Nevada
Live casino games with real dealers, shown by video feed, combine the best of both worlds. You get the real casino environment with authentic equipment and professional dealers, and the convenience of playing online. Tables normally run around the clock and the most popular live casino games in Nevada are:
- Live Blackjack – You take a seat at the table through the online software and you place your bet. The dealer then hands out the cards from the deck for each player and then waits for their moves. You can follow the action live and even chat with the other players.
- Live Roulette – Here, you have an entire virtual table for placing your bets with the casino chips. Once the betting period is over, the dealer spins the wheel and throws the ball in. The HD video shows the spin live and usually zooms in on the winning pocket.
- Live Poker – There are several versions for live poker, including Casino Hold’em, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and Three Card Poker. All of these are played against the house and you can bet online after setting the bet. Payouts are automatic once the hand is over.
- Live Baccarat – Live dealer baccarat is one of the best options at a real money online casino in Nevada. There is no player limit on the table as you can simply bet on your preferred outcome. Special live versions will zoom in or slowly turn the cards for a more suspenseful gameplay.
- Live Keno – The live keno experience is similar to the standard keno game. However, you will have to buy in and select your numbers during the designated period between draws. Then, you can watch the live keno draw to see how many numbers you hit and what prize you win.
- Live Craps – An HD live craps game can recreate the Las Vegas casino experience with the table and the dice. You can also follow the chat on the screen as players root for their outcomes. The croupier throws the dice and you can see the results right away.
How Nevada Online Casinos Compare to Neighboring States
Overall, Nevada doesn’t have the friendliest neighbors when it comes to online casinos. In fact, none of them currently offer regulated real money online casinos within their borders. The only option is represented by offshore casino sites, which can be accessed with ease.
California is Nevada’s biggest neighbor, both in population and border-wise. However, it has proven that passing online gambling regulation in the most populous state in the country is a difficult task. Right now, it looks like real money casinos online will not be coming to The Golden State anytime soon.
Moving North, we find a state with more online gambling potential in Oregon. While it doesn’t have regulated online casinos, it does offer legal online sports betting. Sadly, two major referendums for online casino gaming failed by a wide margin in 2010 and in 2012. So, Oregon residents will most likely have to settle with the nine tribal casinos.
As for Nevada’s other neighbors, Idaho and Utah are two of the least likely states to legalize online gambling anytime soon. Arizona however is expanding and launched online sportsbooks in 2021, so casinos might be coming in the next few years.
Land-Based Casinos in Nevada
Nevada is all about its land-based casinos, the biggest of which are located on the Las Vegas Strip. It is a unique state in this regard as players definitely have loads of options for local establishments. While it is difficult to rank them all, we believe that these are the top 5 Nevada land-based casinos:
MGM Grand
- Address: 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Opening hours: 24/7
MGM is one of the most popular casino brands in the world and the Las Vegas establishment is one of the reasons why. MGM Resorts International covers more than 6.9 million square feet and includes four towers of 30 stories. The casino gambling space takes up 170,000 square feet and includes almost 200 tables for various games. Poker gets its own room with 13 tables open around the clock.
The Venetian
- Address: 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Opening hours: 24/7
The Venetian resort is quick to impress with its intricate theme based on the city of Venice. It has countless bridges over the clear blue waters and even offers gondola rides for tourists. As for the casino section, The Venetian hosts more than 1,000 slot machines and plenty of tables for all popular games. It also has the second-largest hotel in the world for players who plan on staying several days.
Caesars Palace
- Address: 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Opening hours: 24/7
Another hugely popular casino resort with a unique theme is Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. As the name suggests, the style here is based on Ancient Rome. However, the gaming accommodations are as modern as they come and include one of the best sportsbooks in the state. It is also known for having lower casino stakes than other options in the region, making it great for recreational players.
The Bellagio
- Address: 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Opening hours: 24/7
The Bellagio has it all but it is mostly known for its 40 poker tables. It is one of the major stops in the World Poker Tour and even has a private area where high rollers can play starting from $20,000 per buy-in. Of course, it also has various other casino games, like blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, and loads of slots. You can recognize The Bellagio from its iconic fountain shows with water and lights.
Wynn Las Vegas Casino
- Address: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Opening hours: 24/7
Wynn is often considered one of the best casinos in Las Vegas. The luxury resort comes with an Asian theme and ensures a high level of elegance. It includes a casino with 111,000 square feet of gaming space, a massive convention center, retail stores, and a hotel with 45 floors. Players can take their pick from more than 1,800 slot machines and tens of table games.
The Best Online Casino in Nevada
Wild Casino is the best out of all Nevada legitimate online casinos in the USA. It offers an impressive combination of bonuses and premium games. New players can claim over $5,000 in bonuses and enjoy more than 450 games online. Then, there are the weekly promotions and extra rewards that can help you win even more.
Other reasons for Wild Casino being our top Nevada online casino include a secure banking system and a professional support team. Players can deposit through a wide range of cryptocurrencies or simply opt for traditional payment methods. And, the support staff is always ready to help out and answer questions. As a result, Wild Casino is the complete package for NV online gaming. | https://augustafreepress.com/casino/online-casinos-nevada/ | 2022-07-01T19:52:57Z | https://augustafreepress.com/casino/online-casinos-nevada/ | true | 1 |
MLB Best Bets for Tonight: Back the Mets to cover the run line against the Rangers
MLB teams are looking to gain some momentum going into the weekend. Nothing can do that better than a nice win. Tonight, there are plenty of intriguing matchups that provide profit opportunities for sports bettors. Enjoy the games and the beginning of this Fourth of July weekend. Let's get into these bets!
Below, you will find two of the best bets for tonight's slate of MLB games.
Bet #1: New York Mets -1.5 (+100) vs. the Texas Rangers
"Mini Mets." - New York Mets
The New York Mets come into tonight's game against the Texas Rangers having lost three games in a row. They will look to their offense to perform much better than they have recently. The Mets scored only one run in 18 innings against the Houston Astros. New York has been one of the best home teams in the MLB, with a record of 24-12 in Citi Field this season.
The Astros' pitching staff is much better than the Rangers', though. The Rangers rank in the middle of the pack, and the Astros sit in the top two in the MLB in terms of ERA. The Mets will send Chris Bassitt to the mound, and he has had a pretty inconsistent season. However, he will have one of his better matchups as he's tasked with facing the 18th ranked offense in the MLB in terms of batting average.
The New York Mets offense has been in the top five for most of the season, and they remain there despite their recent hurdles. The Mets also rank fourth in the MLB, scoring 4.82 runs per nine innings. Tonight, they will rely on Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Brandon Nimmo to help produce runs off of the Rangers.
We're going with the New York Mets to win this game and cover the run line. Let's go Mets!
Bet #2: Toronto Blue Jays F5 -0.5 (-105) vs. the Tampa Bay Rays
"WINNING FEELS GOOD!" - Toronto Blue Jays
Both of these teams come into this matchup with similar success this season. The Toronto Blue Jays have a 2.5 game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays for third place in the extremely competitive American League East. Tonight, the Rays will continue their series with the Blue Jays in Canada.
Corey Kluber will get the start for the Rays, and Jose Berrios will start for the Blue Jays. Both of these pitchers have a somewhat inflated ERA to this point, but Berrios has gotten the luxury of more run support. Lately, the Rays have had a lot of trouble hitting right-handed pitching. The pitching advantage goes to Toronto.
Offensively, these teams play two different styles of baseball. The Blue Jays have a lot of talent dispersed throughout their lineup, and they hit for power. Tampa Bay has proven to be a more opportunisitc offense that tries to capitalize on situations.
We're going with the Blue Jays to lead after five innings due to the Rays' offensive struggles. The Blue Jays have been very good at home, with a record of 24-15. Toronto should be able to manufacture runs early and get into the bullpen. Let's go Jays! | https://www.sportskeeda.com/odds/mlb-best-bets-tonight-new-york-mets-toronto-blue-jays-friday-july-1st | 2022-07-01T19:55:00Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/odds/mlb-best-bets-tonight-new-york-mets-toronto-blue-jays-friday-july-1st | true | 1 |
KRÜ Esports has sealed their spot as the final team to qualify for the VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen. After a victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas in the South American LCQs, the Latin American side earned a last-minute ticket to join the world's best Valorant teams in Denmark and compete in front of a live audience.
KRÜ is among the few teams that have competed in all VCT Masters events. After a second-place finish in the Stage 2 LATAM Challengers, they were on the edge of missing their chance to compete in the Masters Copenhagen.

Woman gored by bison at Yellowstone in second reported incident this week, park officials say
A woman visiting the Yellowstone National Park was gored by a bison, the second incident of an animal injuring a park visitor this week, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
Related video above: Bull bison gores a man near Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park said on Thursday that a Pennsylvania woman, 71, was gored by a bull bison on Wednesday, just one day after another visitor was injured by a bison at the park. The attack on the woman was the third reported incident this year of a visitor getting too close to a bison and the animal responding to the perceived threat by goring the person, the park service said.
The woman and her daughter inadvertently approached the bison as they were returning to their vehicle at the trailhead, causing the animal to charge, according to a release from the park's superintendent.
The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a Wyoming hospital, according to the release.
The park notes that bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. The NPS said bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans. The park service pleaded with visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from large animals.
Another attack occurred just one day earlier on Monday when a 34-year-old Colorado man was gored by a bison at the park after walking with his family on a boardwalk near the Giant Geyser at Old Faithful. When family members did not leave their area, the bull bison "continued to charge and gored" the man, causing injury to his arm, park officials said. The man was taken to a hospital, and the incident is under investigation.
A 25-year-old Ohio woman was also gored by a bull at the end of May, the first reported incident this year. The woman suffered a puncture wound and other injuries after she approached a bison near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, according to a previous news release.
She was tossed 10 feet into the air by a bison after she came within 10 feet of the animal, park officials said. Two other people were also within 25 feet of the same bison, they added. | https://www.wxii12.com/article/pennsylvania-woman-gored-by-bison-at-yellowstone/40485899 | 2022-07-01T20:00:01Z | https://www.wxii12.com/article/pennsylvania-woman-gored-by-bison-at-yellowstone/40485899 | true | 25 |

The US government has no higher award with which to honor a civilian’s achievements than the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Handed out at the discretion of the Commander in Chief, the MoF celebrates “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” President Biden announced the first slate of MoF recipients of his administration on Friday, a list that includes former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs.
President Biden’s nominees for this award class number 17. They include luminaries like Olympic-winning gymnast Simone Biles, retired Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Gold Star Father Khizr Khan, former US Senator John McCain (posthumous), former president of the AFL-CIO Richard Trumka (posthumous), and the most clearly worthy recipient of the group, Denzel Washington.
The MoF has only been awarded 647 times since it was established by President Kennedy in 1963, and of those, just 26 people have been awarded it “with distinction.” The awards will be presented at the White House on July 7, 2022.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia man stabbed four family members and himself during a domestic-related incident at his home in Savannah, police said Friday.
Roger Hendrix, 31, was taken into custody and faces numerous charges, including four counts of aggravated assault, authorities said in a news release.
Police said they responded to a home Thursday night and found four people between the ages of 38 and 65 suffering from stab wounds. The suspect, who was also found in the home, had self-inflicted stab wounds, police said.
According to investigators, Hendrix stabbed one of the victims and the remaining people involved were injured while trying to disarm him.
All five were transported to a hospital for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
It was not clear whether Hendrix has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Police-Georgia-man-stabbed-4-family-members-at-17279739.php | 2022-07-01T20:30:05Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Police-Georgia-man-stabbed-4-family-members-at-17279739.php | true | null |
Dua Lipa is making her way across Scandinavia, and after a sold-out performance at a Swedish amusement park, she took time to try out some rides and pose for photos.
The singer, currently on her Future Nostalgia tour, has performed on more than 60 dates since February. Dua has a small break in her schedule before heading to Canada for a few festivals. Before her break, Dua wrapped up the Western European leg of her tour as she snaked through Scandinavia with dates in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Dua stopped at Gröna Lund, a famous amusement park in Stockholm, where she performed and later visited at night. In true Dua-style, the late-night trip resulted in fun photos, including a pole swing.
Dua Lipa enjoys impromptu amusement park photoshoot
Dua Lipa had fun in an amusement park after performing for a sold-out crowd in Stockholm. The songstress had an impromptu photo shoot that featured carefully placed signage, including one that advertised a milkshake. She grabbed a pole and arched her back under the red lights of the theme park.
Dua wore cargo pants with Balenciaga monogrammed. The baggy pants revealed her taut tummy that she achieved with hard work. The singer went braless in a yellow shirt with a large mouth featured prominently across the chest. Dua posed with her sister Rina Lipa.
Dua sported a knitted cap that contained her long dark waves. She also shared a photo from her point of view underneath a twisting roller coaster track.
Dua wrote in the caption, “a night @ the theme park.”
Dua’s 84.9 million followers were the lucky recipients of her latest share.
Dua Lipa’s yoga game is impressive
Dua is a multi-faceted recording artist who counts yoga as one of her many talents. She often takes to her Instagram to show off poses and progress on the yoga front.
This week while in Denmark, the Potion singer showed off a headstand followed by a split with a show of strength and balance.
Dua was the cover girl for the June/July issue of Vogue, and she gave an interview to accompany her photoshoot.
During 73 Questions With Vogue, Dua pulled off an impressive headstand in a crop top, jeans and heels.
Dua practices yoga while on tour but also as she relaxes at home. With the next few weeks free of major appearances, Dua could share her latest moves on social media. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/dua-lipa-pole-dances-at-theme-park/ | 2022-07-01T20:31:31Z | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/dua-lipa-pole-dances-at-theme-park/ | true | 1 |

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago man pleaded guilty Friday to a misdemeanor for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot, court records show.
Athanasios Zoyganeles entered the plea to a charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. He could receive a prison term of up to six months when he is sentenced, which is scheduled for Sept. 30.
Zoyganeles had planned on traveling to Washington for weeks before the attack, messaging one friend in December 2020 he was “down for whatever,” charging documents said.
“It’s time we take this country back,” Zoyganeles wrote, according to the complaint.
At least three people, including a former high school classmate, provided information about Zoyganeles’ role in the breach to the FBI, records show.
Federal authorities searched video of the breach and said they spotted Zoyganeles standing outside the Parliamentarian doors while holding a piece of wood and smoking.
Last October, a close family member identified Zoyganeles in photos that depicted him in and around the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, court records show.
Zoyganeles is one of 30 known Illinois residents who have been charged as a result of the Capitol riot investigation, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Chicago-man-pleads-guilty-in-Jan-6-2021-riot-17279740.php | 2022-07-01T20:41:24Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Chicago-man-pleads-guilty-in-Jan-6-2021-riot-17279740.php | true | 15 |
ETF Leaders Powered by the NYSE: American Century’s Rene Casis
As markets face rising rates, inflation, and the war in Ukraine, Rene Casis, head of ETF portfolio management at American Century Investments, thinks “there’s multiple different ways… that active management can be very beneficial, particularly in these types of environments.”
“As active managers, we have the ability to contour the portfolio according to our expected return and expected risk perspectives,” Casis told VettaFi Editor-in-Chief Lara Crigger for ETF Leaders, powered by the New York Stock Exchange. “So, as those perspectives change in response to macroeconomic environments [or] geopolitical risk, we can have the ability to shift our portfolio more defensively.”
Casis added that American Century’s active management team can also “rebalance the portfolio in response to these changes without having to subscribe to a pre-destined date that indices will rebalance with.”
“So, we can be a lot more proactive as the situations change,” Casis said at Exchange: An ETF Experience 2022.
Key Drivers to ESG Investing
When thinking about environmental, social, and governance investing in 2022 and beyond, Casis said that American Century has “identified five themes” that the ETF issuer feels will “be the key drivers to ESG going forward.”
These themes are empowerment (“things that address the flexibility and the empowerment for employees at companies”), sustainability (“the preservation of raw materials and reduction of waste around the food industry”), environment (“enhancing the biodiversity across a variety of species”), digitization (“enhancing cybersecurity”), and healthcare (“specifically, looking at more favorable cost access and innovation”).
Earnings Growth Metrics
Casis also discussed the “variety of different ways” that American Century looks at the earnings growth of companies it invests in and is considering investing in. For example, through its rules-based strategies, the investor is “using a variety of diverse metrics to identify companies that have stable earnings growth over long periods of time.”
And for some of the firm’s “more concentrated active strategies,” American Century continues “to evaluate the balance sheets and earnings for companies to ensure that those companies” it invests in “can withstand these geopolitical shocks, these macroeconomic shocks that we’ve been experiencing.”

Yes, they really went on a field trip to a landfill!
The Connections 11 students from Thomas Haney Secondary took on Cache Creek and Whistler recently on a three-day field trip where they visited various sites of historical, economic, and cultural significance and explored issues related to the local history and ecology of these regions.
Accompanied by their brave and dedicated teachers Chris Connolly, Todd Goodman, Mark Biggar, Jennifer Godfrey, and Daniel Grill – and an amazingly patient bus driver named Peter – the group made several stops on their journey. When on a road trip with 51 teenagers, you need a lot of breaks!
On their way to Cache Creek, the group first travelled to the Kanaka Bar Band reserve, just a few kilometres south of the Lytton townsite. They were fortunate to have been invited to visit the land and see the work the First Nation have done to become energy independent and leaders in building a sustainable community. Sustainability improves the quality of the life of everyone and everything on this planet and protects our ecosystem.
Also known as the “T’eqt”aqtn’mux,” which translates to “the crossing place people,” their Chief Patrick Michell welcomed them in their new community building, which is powered by solar with battery storage.
Chief Michell gave an engaging presentation about what the Kanaka Bar Band is doing to help protect themselves and Lytton against the effects of climate change and what alternate materials could be used to build houses that will be able to withstand extreme weather, such as the fires and floods B.C. recently endured.
OTHER THS NEWS: Maple Ridge Sightline Theatre enters the magical world of the white rabbit
The Kanaka Bar Band has four criteria to take into accord when choosing these materials: fire/water/wind resiliency, energy efficiency, long-term sustainability and affordability.
After the town of Lytton was destroyed in the summer 2021 fires, Chief Michell and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology launched a pilot project on creating climate-resilient houses for the evacuees who lost their homes.
Chief Michell said, “We are delighted to bring together leaders in applied research and innovation to tackle the urgent need to build back our region. We are combining the power of our community with the latest building practices to ensure new housing and its supporting systems, as well as older buildings in the region, are made more sustainable and climate-resilient.”
This project is not only for the Kanaka Bar Band and the people of Lytton, but for all Canadian residents who want to make sure their homes can withstand the extreme weather that climate change is bringing to Canada.
After Chief Michell’s presentation, the group split into two and explored the land.
The students met the animals the Kanaka Bar Band harvests, examined the strategically-placed solar panels that power the community, and walked through the gardens in which the band grows their vegetables. The one beehive that is on the reserve not only produces honey to eat, but also creates wax that can be used for such things as candles.
In March of 2016, the Kanaka Bar Community Economic Development Plan was released, outlining the goals and plans for the future of their community. Since then, the band has been working toward their goal of having enough food resources for their entire community, especially in times of emergency.
The band has engaged in a partnership for the operation of a significant run of the river project at nearby Kwoiek Creek.
The students of Thomas Haney had the opportunity to see these food resources firsthand and were greatly inspired!
Many Thomas Haney students have engaged in the creation of an orchard at the school. Many ideas from the Kanaka Bar Band visit could be implemented there. Please visit the Kanaka Bar Band website for more information about the work they are doing.
After an exciting night hike in the hills of Cache Creek and a restful sleep, the class drove to the main event of the field trip: the Campbell Hill landfill.

They were greeted by the general manager Zahra Pirani and the field engineer Melissa Davies.
The two were happy to give them an escorted drive up to the top of the landfill to the new cell they are creating.
What the group saw really broke down their preconception of what a landfill would look like; they stood on 25-metres of garbage, and yet there was no smell and only a very small pile of garbage that would soon be compressed.
To prevent anything from leaching into the ground and into the surrounding environment, the WasteTech company uses a “liner system” every five metres that have fourteen layers of the processed material. The liner itself is composed of two different layers, starting with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), which is double the standard of the BC Ministry of Environments.
This captures methane from older landfills and produces it into electricity that feeds to BC Hydro.
The team of workers are constantly pulling out things that do not belong in the landfill, such as appliances, recyclables, and in one case, 75,0000 golf balls.
The property is surrounded by animal patrol fences to keep wildlife out, but there were various types of birds flying above that everyone was naturally distracted by.
Though going to a landfill may be slightly unconventional, it was a memorable and educational day.
The visit to the Kanaka Bar Band, as well as to the landfill, highlighted the importance of how we manage and consume our resources.
The group’s circle route took them from the desert-like conditions of Cache Creek, to the tops of mountains near Duffy Lake and, finally, to the edge of the sea at Porteau Cove.
A big thank you goes to the communities and businesses that welcomed their packed tour bus throughout their journey. From the coffee shops and diners, to the hotels and museums, everyone welcomed them with warmth.
A special thanks also goes to those at the Kanaka Bar Band and the Campbell Hill landfill for taking the time to engage with them on a very personal level.
And of course, the students are grateful to their own teachers that dedicated a tremendous amount of work and their personal time to make the trip possible.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri's Republican Gov. Mike Parson on Friday vetoed a one-time, limited tax refund and instead called on state lawmakers to pass a widespread income tax cut.
Parson proposed a special legislative session focused on cutting Missouri's individual income tax rate, which is 5.4% for most taxpayers, to around 4.7%.
Missouri has surplus revenue, in part due to repeated federal stimulus funding during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parson wants to use some of that extra funding for tax breaks, although he didn't provide details on what the cost might be.
“Now is the time to give back to hardworking Missourians,” Parson said.
He pitched increasing the standard deduction allowance and paring down the number of tax brackets. The governor also recommended cutting income taxes entirely for individuals who make $16,000 or less in a year or for couples filing jointly who make less than $32,000.
Parson has not yet decided when to call lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special session to work on tax changes, but said he wants tax cuts to kick in by Jan. 1, 2023.
Parson proposed cutting income taxes as an alternative to lawmakers' planned one-time tax refund, which he vetoed Friday.
Under the bill passed by lawmakers, taxpayers would have gotten a one-time tax credit of up to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples. The refunds would have gone only to individuals earning less than $150,000 and couples making less than $300,000 annually.
In practice, people would have received a $1 refund for each $1 of tax owed until their tax bill reached the refund limit of $500.
Democratic lawmakers had argued the tax refund would only benefit middle-income families because the poorest workers don't pay income taxes and that not enough money was set aside to provide the full $500 or $1,000 for everyone who qualified.
Parson echoed similar concerns when announcing his veto Friday at the Capitol, telling reporters that “no one was ever going to receive direct checks for $500 or $1,000” under that bill.
“Due to the temporary program being underfunded, some Missourians would have received somewhere between $100 to $200, while many would have received nothing,” he said. “Hardworking Missourians — including low earners, high earners and vulnerable populations — would have seen little to no relief.” | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Missouri-Gov-Parson-calls-for-income-tax-cut-17279948.php | 2022-07-01T20:45:41Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Missouri-Gov-Parson-calls-for-income-tax-cut-17279948.php | false | 11 |
Which workout glove is best?
It isn’t any secret that everyone can benefit from working out regularly. It helps to build muscle, improve cardiovascular health, increase bone density and keep weight under control. And no matter whether you have hopes of being a competition powerlifter one day or simply hit the gym a couple of times a week to make yourself look and feel better, you’ll need a pair of workout gloves to protect your hands and enhance your grip.
Workout gloves come in a variety of styles. Some have a minimalist design with a slim build and open back. Others, such as the Grip Power Pads Elite Leather Gym Gloves, are built with a focus on ruggedness and maximum protection. Whatever kind you prefer, there are several other factors to keep in mind when making your purchase, including size, materials and ventilation.
What to know before you buy workout gloves
Who should wear workout gloves?
You may think that you aren’t a serious weightlifter, so you don’t need workout gloves, but this actually isn’t the case. If you look around any gym floor, you’ll see people of all ages and physical fitness levels wearing workout gloves. Whether you only use free weights, machines, just do some cardio on an elliptical or do a combination of all of these, you can benefit from wearing workout gloves. The same applies to every workout intensity. Whether you are a powerlifter or casual gym-goer, gloves should be an essential addition to your gym bag.
What are the benefits of wearing workout gloves?
Workout gloves offer several benefits over exercising with bare hands. One of the most important things they do is provide you with a more secure grip. Barbells and dumbbells can easily slip out of wet, sweaty hands, but the chances of this happening when wearing gloves are greatly minimized. Not only will the gloves be dry, but they also feature high-friction materials.
Many bars have a knurled texture, which is great for adding traction but extremely rough on the skin. Workout gloves protect your skin from damage so you don’t wind up with excessive abrasion or the formation of calluses. Most also have cushioning that helps relieve some of the pressure on your hands, which not only makes working out more comfortable but can also potentially help you lift more. Some workout gloves also have integrated wrist wraps that add support and help prevent injury.
Features to look for in quality workout gloves
Size
As with all other gloves, it is important to choose a pair of workout gloves that fit your hands properly. This ensures they will be both comfortable and provide a reliable grip without causing chaffing from excess movement. Workout gloves come in a range of sizes, from extra small to XXX-large.
Materials
The most common materials for workout gloves are polyester-cotton blends, nylon and leather. Nylon and polyester-cotton blends are the most affordable and easiest to care for, but leather tends to be more durable and provides a slightly better grip. For this reason, many nylon and polyester-cotton blend gloves are reinforced with leather on the palms. Some may also feature a bit of neoprene cushioning for added comfort.
Ventilation
If you’re doing it right, you’re going to get hot and sweaty while working out. To ensure your gloves aren’t contributing too much to this, many manufacturers incorporate some kind of ventilation into their gloves. Depending on the design, it may be through the use of breathable materials, perforations or open backs.
Wrist support
Keeping your wrists in a neutral position is important for preventing injuries during certain types of lifts. It also helps prevent you from cheating. Some workout gloves feature incorporated wrist wraps to provide you with support in this easily injured area.
How much can you expect to spend on workout gloves?
The most affordable workout gloves start around $10; however, these are often of questionable quality and tend not to last long if working out regularly. For a quality and reliable pair, expect to spend between $15-$50.
Workout gloves FAQs
How do I clean my workout gloves?
A. The best method for cleaning workout gloves depends on the material, so it is important to follow the instructions included with whichever pair you buy. That said, most neoprene, nylon and polyester-cotton gloves can simply be tossed in the washing machine. Leather gloves should generally be hand-washed.
Can I wear workout gloves for other activities?
A. Despite their name, workout gloves can be used for a lot more than just weightlifting. Depending on the materials of your chosen pair, they may be suitable for biking, rock climbing and any other activity where you need an added grip or cushioning. However, you should expect that using your workout gloves for other activities will cause them to wear out sooner than if used for lifting alone.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Another piece of history is emerging from the once deep waters near Lake Mead Marina.
A WWII-era Higgins landing craft was spotted this week resting halfway out of the water, the latest sunken artifact unearthed by the drought-stricken water source. The boat has been known to many for decades and has been a popular diving site, once 185 feet below the surface of the lake.
The boat was recently photographed for a YouTube channel called “The Other Me.”
When this Higgins craft was built, used, and sunk is unclear at this time. But according to Las Vegas Scuba, the boat was used to survey the Colorado River, then sold to a marina, and then sunk. This could date the boat back to the early 1940s.
Higgins landing craft were built for the military between 1942 to 1945. New Orleans was home to Higgins Industries, a small boat company owned by entrepreneur Andrew J. Higgins. His company produced the historic landing craft used during the D-Day invasion, but also made several versions of the landing craft, including a torpedo boat.
“Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us,” President Dwight D. Eisenhower said during a 1964 interview. “If Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle and Personnel), we never could have landed over an open beach. The whole strategy of the war would have been different.” | https://myfox8.com/news/wwii-era-landing-craft-emerging-from-lake-mead/ | 2022-07-01T20:47:42Z | https://myfox8.com/news/wwii-era-landing-craft-emerging-from-lake-mead/ | false | 22 |

Storms, Heat, & Humidity for the Holiday Weekend
Derek’s Forecast!
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Weather for your Saturday, Sunday, and Monday look about the same - there will be showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours, and some may linger into the night. The main idea will be that we should see a lower coverage of that rain than what we had to deal with earlier in the week, but you’ll definitely want to have a backup plan in place for anything you might have going on outdoors during this time. We hope there will be an even lower coverage of rain around for fireworks celebrations at night, but once again, we can’t rule that out in a few spots. Highs should stay in the lower 90s (or perhaps the upper 80s for those that see rain earlier in the day). For the rest of next week, rain coverage will hover in the 30-50% range with Wednesday and Thursday being the drier days. Highs could climb into the mid 90s in places that don’t see much in the way of rain on any given day. The coverage of rain should go up again heading into next weekend.

Confirmed: Thousands of post Office collection and cash delivery workers to strike on 14 July
Post Office collection and cash delivery workers are to stage a one-day strike later this month in a dispute over pay.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) employed in supply chain and admin jobs will walk out on 14 July.
The workers deliver cash, valuables and essential supplies to thousands of sub-post offices, process finances and work in administration.
The dispute is in opposition to a pay offer from the Post Office which the union said was worth 3 per cent for 2022/23, alongside a one-off lump sum payment of £500, and no pay increase for the 2021-22 financial year.
The union said the proposals are far beneath the RPI inflation rate of 11.7 per cent.
CWU Assistant Secretary Andy Furey said: “The blame for this disruption lies entirely with the senior Post Office leadership, who have repeatedly failed – and wilfully refused – to set out a sensible and fair pay agreement.
“Everyone knows that the only solution is a fair pay rise that properly rewards members for their extraordinary efforts in serving the public and delivering a profitable Post Office, while also taking account of the extreme cost of living.
“There most certainly is money available, but management do not want to give workers their fair share.
“Our message to the employer today is: don’t waste our members’ time by misleading statements.”
Andy Furey
“Stop the spin and get serious about pay. Until you do this, the strikes will continue.”
A Post Office spokesperson said: “We have received notice that the CWU has called a strike involving supply chain colleagues.
“We will have a range of contingency measures in place to minimise any possible disruption to the Post Office network on that day.”
The CWU also announced that Crown Post Office workers will be striking on July 11 in a separate pay dispute. | https://www.cityam.com/confirmed-thousands-of-post-office-collection-and-cash-delivery-workers-to-strike-on-14-july/ | 2022-07-01T20:48:35Z | https://www.cityam.com/confirmed-thousands-of-post-office-collection-and-cash-delivery-workers-to-strike-on-14-july/ | true | 1 |

Ancient Israeli mosaic returns home after years touring the world
June 27 (UPI) -- An ancient mosaic discovered in Israel more than 25 years ago, is now back in that country and went on display Monday after years spent touring prestigious museums around the world.
The massive 50-foot by 27-foot Roman Period mosaic's lengthy world tour included stops at the Louvre in Paris, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as institutions in Italy and several other countries.
The ornamental living room floor of a Roman mansion dates back to approximately 300 A.D.
It was discovered by accident in 1996 during an excavation in the Israeli city of Lod. Authorities then opened viewing to the public during a single weekend, attracting more than 30,000 people before it was covered again to await funding for restoration.
Further discoveries were made at the site in 2015 and 2018 but those mosaics have remained in place.
Once restoration was finished, the artwork, which shows animals, plants, fish and banquet-ware began its lengthy world tour. The piece was painstakingly disassembled, transported and reassembled countless times.
The art is now back in Israel, at its new permanent home not far from where it was originally discovered, at the purpose-built Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Archaeological Center, which officially opened Monday.
"From the moment Leon and I saw this historic mosaic, we knew how important it was for the town of Lod and the world, and what it would do to make Lod a cultural center. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of the restoration of the mosaic and the creation of this museum. Being here is a dream come true," said White in a statement issued by the Israel Antiquities Authority.
"It was such a thrill to see the name 'Lod' in the Metropolitan Museum," White told Haaretz during an interview Monday.
"The mosaic was found here and should stay here, after it flew around the world like a magic carpet." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2649176729783/ancient-israeli-mosaic-returns-home-after-years-touring-the-world | 2022-07-01T20:52:19Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2649176729783/ancient-israeli-mosaic-returns-home-after-years-touring-the-world | true | 1 |

Tips to get a natural glow at home
"Wow, you're glowing!" is perhaps one of our most favorite compliments, and rightfully so.
"Wow, you're glowing!" is perhaps one of our most favorite compliments, and rightfully so. A warm glow, apart from having a heart-melting charm, is also a non-verbal cue for a happy state of mind. Which is perhaps the reason why it sparks such a positive sentiment in the onlooker.
However, in this world of pollution and stress, a lot of beautiful faces have been stripped of their glow, and since you are here, maybe that includes you. But worry not gorgeous for we have some of the best tips that can help you regain and retain your radiance-
Keep calm and drink water: In order to keep your skin from falling prey to dullness and roughness, it is critical that you keep it hydrated inside out. To ensure the same, remember to drink up!
As critical as it is to drink water for skin hydration on the inside, one must note that outside hydration is just as important. Use a lightweight moisturiser every day to keep your skin soft, supple, and ready to retain the glow.
Take a deep breath! Good, now repeat: No, literally. Life can be stressful, we get it. But it is critical to be mindful of the fact that unchecked stress and negativity can take a massive toll on not only your mental health but also your physical appearance.
Regular practice of meditation and deep breathing can help you keep your stress and mental problems in check. You should also make sure to get an 8-hour beauty sleep every day. Remember, a well-rested body and mind, glow from within!
Facials are a must: As much as your overall physical and mental health can aid your skin's appearance from the inside, you still need to do the regular upkeep. Routine facials and cleanups are key to keeping your skin clean and healthy. Simple home remedies like besan, turmeric, curd, and honey go a long way when it comes to giving your skin the cleansing and moisturising it needs to glow. However, there are responsible, and deeply researched products available today which can truly heal your skin from within. Find a great product that not only gives your skin an instant lift, but also fixes issues like tan damage, roughness, and more. The plus point is, DIY facials or kits inclusive of de-tan therapy masks are a brilliant way to get some pampering and me-time!
Eat a rainbow: As much as it sounds fun, we doubt it would be possible for you to eat an actual rainbow so let's just settle for having a meal that resembles one. Experts advise that it is essential to eat a well-balanced meal consisting of a different set of foods for good skin. This is because by eating a colorful and diverse meal, you provide your body with all the vital nutrients and vitamins that these different foods carry.
So, the next time you eat, make sure to make it colorful, and we promise this color will soon make its way to your cheeks.
Summing up
You, ladies, are stars, and nothving should stop you from shining your brightest. So use our tips and become a glow-getter today!

A tourist’s trip to a zoo got intimate real fast when an orangutan fondled and kissed her in a moment captured on video.
The woman was visiting Safari World in Bangkok in late June when the frisky animal got a little handsy and copped a feel.
In a video, the primate can be seen grabbing her breasts and even giving her a kiss on the cheek when she was attempting to pose for a photo.
The woman was sitting down on a swing at the zoo ready for a sweet touristy snap when the cheeky ape comes up behind her and paws at her, cupping her breasts before giving her several attempted kisses on her cheek.
The ape grins wildly as people take photos and film the interaction.
The woman — albeit surprised — giggles as the orangutan continues to kiss her cheek.
Orangutans are closely related to humans, having 97% of DNA in common, according to the Orangutan Project. They’re great apes, as opposed to monkeys.
According to WWF, orangutans are found only in the rainforests of the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra.
They live in tropical forests and prefer river valleys and floodplains of their respective islands and spend nearly their entire lives in trees. | https://nypost.com/2022/07/01/frisky-orangutan-grabs-womans-breasts-gives-sloppy-kiss-at-zoo/ | 2022-07-01T20:56:22Z | https://nypost.com/2022/07/01/frisky-orangutan-grabs-womans-breasts-gives-sloppy-kiss-at-zoo/ | false | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Among the world’s present-day religions, Zoroastrianism, founded more than 3,000 years ago, is one of the most ancient and historically influential. Yet even though its adherents maintain vibrant communities on four continents, they acknowledge their numbers are dauntingly small — perhaps 125,000 worldwide.
Starting Friday, about 1,200 attendees from 16 countries will be assessing their faith’s prospects during the four-day World Zoroastrian Congress in New York City, the first one held in the United States since 2000.
The agenda reflects a keen awareness of the challenges facing their religion. Prospects for growth are limited, given that Zoroastrians don’t seek to convert outsiders and — in many cases — don’t consider the children of mixed marriages to be members of the faith. Yet there’s also some cause for optimism.
“Have we ever been in a time like this?” wondered Arzan Sam Wadia, a Mumbai-born, New York-based architect who is co-chair of the congress.
“Should we all despair and give up — ‘We can’t do anything, let’s just die peacefully’ — or do we have hope for the future?” he told The Associated Press.
Here’s some basic information about the faith:
HISTORY
Founded more than 3,000 years ago, Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions still in existence, predating Christianity and Islam by many centuries. Details of its origin are imprecise, however.
The prophet Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, is revered as the founder of the faith, which became dominant in Persia before Arab Muslims conquered the region in the 7th century.
Wary of persecution, many Zoroastrians left for destinations in western India, notably Mumbai and Gujarat. India’s Zoroastrian population — known as Parsis — is larger than that of any other country, though the numbers there are declining while they increase in North America, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
BELIEFS
At its core, Zoroastrianism emphasizes a never-ending battle between good and evil — a contest between the religion’s God, Ahura Mazda, and an evil spirit, Ahriman. Believers have the freedom to make good or bad choices; they were exhorted by Zoroaster to think good thoughts, say good words and do good deeds.
Scholars say these tenets and other aspects of Zoroastrianism had significant influence on other religions, notably Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.
“You have these ideas that have fundamentally shaped Western society,” said Jamsheed Choksy, a professor of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University. “Fighting the good fight, a purpose of existing to do good, to make the world flourish, to work together, to respect and love each other … all that goes back to Zarathustra.”
Traditional temples house a sacred fire intended to burn perpetually. Another ancient custom: raised, circular structures known as Towers of Silence, where dead bodies were placed to decompose rather than being buried.
CULTURE
The Nowruz holiday, which incorporates ancient Zoroastrian traditions and marks the Persian New Year, remains a major event on the Iranian calendar. It is widely celebrated, on or around March 21, in other regions that once were part of the Persian empire.
For Zoroastrians who left Iran and settled in India or eventually in more distant regions, their communities became renowned for producing entrepreneurs and philanthropists. Becoming wealthy was encouraged within the faith, but with the proviso that riches should be used to help others.
Jamsetji Tata, born in India in 1839, became one of the most prominent industrialists and philanthropists of the 19th century, and the Tata Group that he founded is one of the world’s largest multinational conglomerates.
Another flourishing conglomerate, the Wadia Group, was founded by Parsi shipbuilder Lovji Wadia in 1736. The company built scores of war vessels for Britain; its holdings today include a fashion magazine, a cricket team and manufacturers of textiles and biscuits.
However the most famous Parsi of modern times was neither an entrepreneur nor industrialist: Freddie Mercury, the legendary lead vocalist of the rock band Queen, was born Farrokh Bulsara in 1946 to parents from Gujarat who were living in Zanzibar.
FUTURE
The possibility of further shrinkage of the global Zoroastrian community will be very much on the minds of attendees at the New York congress.
Several sessions will focus on Zoroastrians in their 20s and 30s. In describing the gathering, organizers promised that participants will come away “reassured that the destiny of the faith is secure in the hands of passionate and visionary young Zoroastrians.”
Other topics on the agenda include entrepreneurship, interfaith collaboration and the role of women.
Wadia, the congress’ co-chair, who is not related to the family behind the Wadia Group, has leading roles in two separate initiatives aimed at strengthening the religion’s prospects.
One is a global survey being conducted by SOAS University of London that aims to shed light on factors that are promoting or inhibiting Zoroastrianism’s growth and vitality.
Wadia also is program director of Zoroastrian Return To Roots, which organizes trips to India for young Zoroastrians who want to learn more about their religion’s history and culture.
Wadia is convinced the faith will survive, but perhaps while undergoing major changes. In North America, for example, he believes that adherence to specific cultural traditions might diminish, even as Zoroastrians maintain a basic set of spiritual guidelines.
SOAS University’s Almut Hintze, a professor of Zoroastrianism, has described the global community as “microscopically small” and worries about the decline of Parsis in India.
“However, Zoroastrians are doing well in the global diaspora,” she said via email. “It could well be that numbers are going to stabilise, although secularisation and the marriage laws pose threats.”
Choksy, the Indiana University professor, sees North America as the most promising region for growth. He estimates that the United States and Canada are now home to more than 30,000 Zoroastrians, higher than the latest figure for Iran.
“North America is where there’s hope,” Choksy said. “It’s partly due to immigration, but also the communities have more children, they feel more stable. It’s the bright light.”

The Supreme Court announced this term's most momentous decision on the term's last day. Thursday's 6-to-3 ruling, although it lacked the cymbal-crash clarity and political wallop of the 5-to-4 decision overturning Roe v. Wade, matters more. It blocks the Environmental Protection Agency from claiming an enormously consequential power that Congress did not clearly grant, and defends the Constitution's essence: the separation of powers.
Overturning Roe has ignited 50 state debates about one subject: abortion. Stymying the EPA's extravagant expansion of its mission has profound implications for the making of many federal policies. Thursday's opinion, the writing of which Chief Justice John Roberts assigned to himself, might, like a boulder thrown into a pond, have large ripples.
The Clean Air Act authorizes the EPA to impose the "best system of emission reduction" for carbon-emitting activities. The EPA construes this as authorization for it to — if this seems "best" — restructure the nation's power sector by ordering "generation shifting" in electricity production from coal to natural gas and renewables (e.g., wind, solar).
Roberts, joined by Justices Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas, invokes the "major questions" doctrine. It holds that when an executive agency claims a power to order changes of vast economic and political significance — e.g., the EPA's proposed multibillion-dollar restructuring (mandatory capital investments, higher energy prices) of a huge sector of the economy — courts should be skeptical of such claims unless legislation clearly and explicitly authorizes it. Otherwise, the agency is illegitimately lunging beyond its law enforcement function.
The court has hitherto rejected the Food and Drug Administration's claimed authority to regulate or even ban tobacco products, something Congress had not endorsed. And during the pandemic, the court rejected the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's contention that its mission to prevent the spread of disease gave it an authority, never mentioned by Congress, to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium.
Now, Roberts writes, the court is reluctant to find a sweeping power "lurking" in vague Clean Air Act language. There is little reason, Roberts writes, to think Congress, without clearly saying so, tasked the EPA, "and it alone, with balancing the many vital considerations of national policy implicated in deciding how Americans will get their energy." The majority should have invoked the related doctrine that Congress cannot properly delegate to an executive agency essentially legislative decisions.
By pruning the EPA's pretensions, the court has signaled a quickened interest in policing the separation of powers. If, as is desirable, the decision presages similar ones, they could, cumulatively, revive Congress by compelling it to resume its proper responsibilities. This would limit the excessive autonomy currently enjoyed by the executive agencies that are the increasingly autonomous, unleashed and unaccountable administrative state.
Justice Elena Kagan, joined in her barbed dissent by Justices Breyer and Sotomayor, says "the court has never even used the term 'major questions doctrine' before." The court has, however, urged hesitancy when an agency asserts a "highly consequential power beyond what Congress could reasonably be understood to have granted." EPA's claimed carte blanche to order unlimited "generation shifting" is surely a spurious power.
Progressives since Woodrow Wilson have aspired to marginalize Congress to insulate the "science" of public administration from politics. The aim is to emancipate supposedly disinterested experts to apply, without political supervision, supposedly neutral science for social betterment.
Hysteria is constant today, so hyperbole is, too — as when on June 20 the New York Times lead article — top of page one, columns five and six — warned readers to be frightened that the court might do what it in fact did Thursday. The Times said a ruling against the EPA could severely limit "the federal government's authority" to reduce carbon dioxide from power plants. But the court's Thursday decision did not diminish the government's authority; it said the primary authority must be explicitly exercised by Congress, which (although progressivism often forgets this) is part of the government. The Times also warned that the EPA case could eviscerate the "federal ability" to address climate change. No, the court has only required that more responsibility be taken by Congress, which is (although progressives often regret this) a federal institution.
In 1887, Professor Woodrow Wilson of Bryn Mawr College wrote that the complexities of modern life demand government by expert administrators with "large powers and unhampered discretion." On Thursday, the court served notice to Congress and executive agencies that modern complexities are not a sufficient reason for abandoning the Constitution's separation of powers, which still governs those who govern us.

COVINGTON, La. (WGNO) — In October of 2020, a St. Tammany Parish Grand Jury returned a historic 49-count felony indictment, charging 18 members of the “Vulture Gang.” Nearly 2 years later, one of those gang members has been sentenced.
Jaydon Carter, of Covington, was 19 when he was arrested and charged for his role in the gang’s violence. The now 21-year-old had his day in court and pleaded guilty to the following charges:
- One count of Racketeering and was sentenced to 25 years at hard labor
- One count of Second Degree Battery and was sentenced to 8 years at hard labor
- Five counts of Assault by Drive-by Shooting and was sentenced to 5 years at hard labor as to each
- One count of Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property and was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor
- One count of Illegal Discharge of a Firearm While Committing a Crime of Violence and was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor, without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence
- One count of Obstruction of Justice and was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor
According to District Attorney Warren Montgomery, the gang, known as the “Vulture Gang” or the “Hunger Gang,” has committed attempted murders, drive-by shootings, armed robberies, drug distribution, and all kinds of gun violence throughout the neighborhood, located just steps from the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center. The gang used violence to perpetuate a climate of fear, he said.
A press release from 2020 called this case “the largest known racketeering indictment on the Northshore, as well as the largest collaborative effort among law enforcement agencies.” DA Montgomery noted that the District Attorney’s Office began working with local, parish, and federal law enforcement agencies in 2019 to investigate the cause of a string of shootings in the West 30s community. The FBI dedicated a full-time agent, who worked exclusively on the case for several months from the District Attorney’s Office. The Covington Police Department and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office also spent many hours working on the investigation.
“This is an important indictment,” Montgomery said. “It begins the removal from our community of a violent gang, and it also reflects the cooperation and collaboration between federal, parish, and municipal law enforcement officials. I’m grateful for the hard work between members of my staff and these respected law enforcement officers.”
Others charged in this case include:
- Avery Jules Fabre, Jr., 20, of Covington, five counts of assault by driving by shooting, aggravated criminal damage to property, contraband in municipal or parish prison or jail, attempted second degree murder, illegal carrying of weapons while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I Controlled Dangerous Substance (marijuana), less than 28 grams, disguising transactions involving drug proceeds, second degree battery, along with misdemeanor charges of two counts of possession of marijuana (14 grams or less), two counts of using or possessing drug paraphernalia, and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles

Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, many states are looking to restrict abortion or ban it entirely. In response, some people have shared purported recipes to induce an abortion at home.
An ER doctor took to Twitter to respond to a TikTok video that implied a plant called pennyroyal could function as an abortifacient, or something that can cause an abortion. “This is incredibly dangerous,” the doctor warned. “It can cause liver failure, seizures and DEATH.”
The person who originally posted the pennyroyal tea post to their TikTok account with 25,000 followers has since deleted the video. They’ve posted a series of apology videos after taking the original down.
THE QUESTION
Can pennyroyal, a proposed herbal abortifacient, cause death?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, pennyroyal can cause death. Do not use it to induce abortions.
WHAT WE FOUND
According to the UK’s National Biodiversity Network, pennyroyal is a plant in the mint family with a strong fragrance similar to spearmint. Two varieties of it, one native to Europe and one native to the U.S., have been used in a number of historical folk remedies. Some of these remedies involve ingesting the oil found in its leaves directly, and some involve drinking pennyroyal tea, which still contains the oil.
The National Capital Poison Center describes pennyroyal oil as a “potentially toxic folk remedy.”
“It is most notable for its use to induce menstruation and abortion,” the National Capital Poison Center says. “Use of pennyroyal oil has led to severe adverse reactions - and even death.”
According to the National Capital Poison Center, pennyroyal oil contains pulegone, a highly toxic, naturally occurring, organic compound. Pulegone can initially lead to gastrointestinal distress such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. It can later lead to liver and kidney failure which then results in bleeding, seizures, multiple organ failure and death.
Other side effects of ingesting pennyroyal oil, the National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus says, include nervous system damage, burning of the throat, fever, confusion, restlessness, dizziness, vision and hearing problems, high blood pressure and lung failure.
The National Capital Poison Center says there is no antidote for pennyroyal oil poisoning. Early treatment in a pennyroyal poisoning case is key.
Pennyroyal oil is extracted from the plant’s leaves, and is therefore present in pennyroyal tea. Although the National Institute of Health says pennyroyal tea has been used “without serious side effects,” MedlinePlus says there “isn't enough reliable information to know if pennyroyal is safe to use as a tea.” That’s because medical experts don’t know how much of the oil an adult can ingest before it becomes dangerous and then deadly.
Because of the dangers it poses and the unknowns regarding safe dosage, medical experts strongly caution people do not use pennyroyal in any way for any medical treatment, including abortion.
According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, there are several reports from the last few decades of young women who took pennyroyal oil to induce abortion and died of multiorgan failure. The center also says there have been at least two cases of multiorgan failure in infants who were given pennyroyal herbal tea as home remedies.
Both MedlinePlus and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say there is no scientific evidence to support the herb’s purported uses, including to induce abortion.
The viral TikTok also mentioned mugwort as an ingredient. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says there isn’t enough evidence that mugwort, which is promoted as a remedy for digestive problems, irregular menstruation, high blood pressure, as a sedative, as a laxative and as a liver tonic, is actually beneficial for any of these conditions. More importantly, it says “very little research has been done on mugwort in people” and “little is known about whether it’s safe to take mugwort orally or to use it topically.”
You should never prepare your own herbal medicines, the National Capital Poison Center says, and you should always check with a healthcare provider before taking any traditional medicine, botanical product, tea, herb or dietary supplement.
“This will help them manage your care and keep you safe,” the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center says.
Isn’t this the herb Benjamin Franklin recommended for abortions?
One viewer reached out to VERIFY to ask about a separate claim — did Benjamin Franklin write instructions on how to end a pregnancy with herbs?
That claim is true, but it’s a recipe you shouldn’t try to use yourself.
According to the National Archives, Benjamin Franklin published a book called The American Instructor, a manual to just about everything the authors believed to be practical, in 1748. It was mostly a reprinting of a similarly titled book for British audiences by George Fisher, with some omissions and additions from Franklin himself.
One such guide in the book is for “suppression of the courses,” which is a how-to on "purging" what Franklin called "female infirmities." This recipe doesn’t use the word “abortion” directly, but it is made up of ingredients commonly believed to be abortifacients at the time.
Among the ingredients in this recipe is a “quarter of a pint of pennyroyal water.” As mentioned before, pennyroyal is highly toxic and can kill the person who ingests it. Don’t try to copy Franklin’s recipe from nearly 300 years ago. | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/verify/medicine/pennyroyal-tea-abortion-dangerous-causes-death/536-8c957fd9-446a-47e8-8138-981f24f4a985 | 2022-07-01T21:13:40Z | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/verify/medicine/pennyroyal-tea-abortion-dangerous-causes-death/536-8c957fd9-446a-47e8-8138-981f24f4a985 | true | 11 |
Governors meet with President Joe Biden in effort to protect abortion access nationwide
Governors who are acting to protect abortion rights in their states are meeting virtually with President Joe Biden as he calls for the Senate to change the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade into law.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - President Joe Biden met with governors who support abortion rights following the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial ruling that overturned the 50-year-old constitutional right to an abortion.
Democratic governors from states including North Carolina, New York, and New Mexico joined the virtual conference to discuss tactics to protect women’s reproductive health.
The governors in those states has all moved to protect a woman’s right to an abortion following the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling that returned abortion rights laws back to individual states.
President Biden called the recent Supreme Court decision, “a terrible, extreme decision in my view, impacting the lives and upending the health and safety of millions of women. And, I share the public outrage at this extremist court that’s committed to moving America backwards with fewer rights, less autonomy, and politicians invading the most personal decisions of not only women but you will find that they extend, expand on this decision to men as well.”
The President also again called for the Senate to carve out an exception to the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade into law and thereby protect access to abortion nationwide. However, he acknowledged right now there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass it. He urged everyone to get out and vote this November. He said he believes republicans will attempt to implement a national ban on abortion if they gain power in Congress.
The Senate filibuster allows any member of the 100-member Senate to block legislation unless the legislation receives 60 votes. Right now Senate seats are split 50-50 along party lines. However, the President faces a challenge from two members of his own party in overturning the filibuster. Democrats, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, have not supported changing the filibuster in the past and they have formally blocked a similar effort this year on the topic of voting rights.
Several of the Governors also asked for Congress to take action.
Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC) said he’s working to ‘hold the line’ on abortion rights against his state’s Republican legislature.
“We are exploring all kinds of potential actions that we can take from an executive perspective here in north carolina <cut to> governors often are the last line of defense, but also the first chance at progress,” said Cooper.
Several governors during the call, also asked the President to allow federal facilities to provide abortions.
Thirteen states have ‘trigger’ laws to ban abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court decision. Legal battles continue in many of those states.
The Biden administration has announced several actions to protect women’s reproductive rights including seeking to protect the right of women to travel from one state to another to seek care. The President has also directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to protect women’s access to medications such as contraception and medical abortion.

- Disneyland opened in 1955 and its sister theme park Disney California Adventure opened in 2001.
- Many of their popular and unpopular attractions have shut down for renovations or been replaced.
- Transportation rides – a rocket, boat, cable car, submarine, train, and elevator – have all failed.
Rocket to the Moon closed and inspired several futuristic flight rides were equally unsuccessful.
Rocket to the Moon was a Disneyland opening day attraction in 1955 that placed guests in a giant rocket ship, or moonliner, standing in Tomorrowland. The futuristic simulation ride was sponsored by the now defunct airline TWA (Trans World Airline).
Guests sat in a circle with screens on the floor and ceiling in the center, which acted as windows and showed realistic scenes of taking off and circling the moon. When TWA's sponsorship ended in 1961, Douglas Aircraft Company took over until 1966, when Tomorrowland was renovated. It was then closed and demolished.
It reopened as a larger attraction in 1967 with the new name Flight to the Moon, and was still presented by Douglas. A newly painted rocket stood outside the upgraded ride with new pulsating seats and audio-animatronics. It eventually became lackluster, though, after the US sent real astronauts to the moon several times between 1969 and 1972.
Disney closed the ride in 1975 and ended its Douglas sponsorship to create the new and improved ride, Mission to Mars, sans moonliner. Guests instead traveled to Mars rather than the moon. The ride lasted until 1992.
It was shuttered before becoming Redd Rockett's Pizza Port restaurant and then the "Toy Story"-inspired Alien Pizza Planet restaurant in 2018, which has a moonliner standing outside once again.
After a boatload of passengers capsized, Mike Fink Keel Boats closed forever.
The Mike Fink Keel Boats attraction opened in the Rivers of America surrounding Tom Sawyer Island during Disney's first Christmas in 1955. The ride incorporated just two boats — Mike Fink's The Gullywhumper and Davy Crockett's Bertha Mae — both original set pieces from the ABC programs "Davy Crockett's Keel Boat Race" and "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates."
Seats and windows were added, holding 12 passengers each to ride around the river. The free-floating boats didn't have tracks, which made skilled pilots necessary to operate them. Eventually the ride closed to add new double-decker boats that held 24 passengers each.
On a fateful day in 1997, The Gullywhumper capsized with a boatload of guests, some of whom sustained minor injuries. This ended the reign of the Mike Fink Keel Boats and served as its final ride-through.
After this, Bertha Mae was sold on eBay. The Gullywhumper returned to Tom Sawyer Island as a prop in 2003 and was removed and replaced with a look-alike boat in 2010 during a Frontierland renovation.
The Skyway cable cars transported guests around the park. It temporarily closed and was incorporated into a new ride before becoming unpopular.
The Skyway (also called Sky Buckets by guests) opened in 1956. The cable car ride ran two ways between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. It provided a unique mode of transportation and also gave amazing aerial views of the park. This ride was famously added to Disney World too.
When plans were made to create the Matterhorn Bobsleds, a roller coaster set inside a giant mountain structure, the Skyway was meant to be incorporated, so the cable cars closed for renovations in 1957.
The Matterhorn opened in 1959 along with the Skyway, which then fascinatingly ran through an opening at the top of the mountain.
As time went on, ridership became low and stress cracks from the weight of the Skyway started forming in the Matterhorn structure, becoming a safety concern. Rather than make costly renovations, Disneyland shut down the Skyway entirely in 1994.
The Tomorrowland station was demolished immediately to make room for the Indiana Jones Adventure ride and the Fantasyland station stayed untouched until 2016 when it was demolished for the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge section of the park.
Rainbow Cavern Mine Train closed and transformed into Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, which also closed.
Rainbow Cavern Mine Train was a railroad ride designed by Walt Disney himself and added into the Living Desert, an area of Frontierland, in 1956.
The ride had vintage locomotive-style cars that ran around the Rainbow Ridge faux-town and a rainbow-colored mountain and desert. It also ran through a building that held the Rainbow Caverns. It was a dark room filled with colorfully lit waterfalls and pools of water.
It then closed in 1959 for refurbishments, opening a year later as Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, which included both old and new ride elements. The stagecoaches and wagons disappeared but the desert and caverns remained. Bear Country, Beaver Alley, and over 200 lifelike animal figures appeared.
The ride closed in 1977. It was then deconstructed to create the bigger and better thrill ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which still stands today. Portions of Rainbow Ridge and Beaver Alley still exist in the area.
Unpopular boat rides were replaced by Submarine Voyage, which included "live" mermaids. This also closed and spawned a new submarine ride.
The Tomorrowland Boats were an opening day attraction in Tomorrowland in 1955. Guests drove themselves in small motorized boats around a lagoon, which was deemed unexciting and unpopular. The boat engines also overheated and constantly needed repairs.
It closed within a month and reopened with the name Tomorrowland Phantom Boats, and updated engines, a pilot seat, and a futuristic design. However, the ride was still low-tier and the addition of pilots was costly. It closed in 1956.
In its lagoon location, the ride Submarine Voyage opened in 1959. It was based on the SS Nautilus — the world's first nuclear powered submarine — which made a historic ride to the North Pole in 1958. The eight submarines were painted grey like the SS Nautilus and a portion of the ride mimicked going under an ice cap.
Riders looked through personal portholes that showed inanimate sea creatures, the lost continent of Atlantis, and cast members dressed as mermaids. The mermaids were magical but only appeared sporadically in 1959 and the mid-60s.
In the mid-80s, the ride shut down temporarily to be repainted a cheery yellow, perhaps inspired by The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine." But in 1998, the ride officially closed and the space was unused until 2007, when the submarines were updated and used for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. This ride is now under construction as of June 2022.
Guests happily hovered and bounced in Flying Saucers, but the ride closed due to constant breakdowns.
Flying Saucers was a futuristic bumper car-style ride that opened in Tomorrowland in 1961. The ride had circular UFO-inspired cars that were rode individually and solely needed air pressure released from the floor to slightly hover, and just the guests' body weight to change directions.
The saucers gave the impression of floating and when they bumped into each other, they uniquely bounced, rather than harshly hit like normal bumper cars.
The ride was a fan-favorite but constantly needed repairs so it closed in 1966 when Tomorrowland was undergoing a huge renovation. When that section of the park reopened in 1967, Flying Saucers was officially gone with a stage put in its place.
Years later, Space Mountain now sits in this location.
Adventure Thru Inner Space popularly shrunk guests to the size of a snowflake molecule, but it eventually closed to make way for a "Star Wars" ride.
With the opening of the new and improved Tomorrowland in 1967, Adventure Thru Inner Space made its debut. Presented by the now-defunct Monsanto Company, the high-capacity dark ride gave the impression of guests being shrunken down as they travelled through the Mighty Microscope and eventually through a snowflake molecule.
Guests rode "Atomobiles" along the first OmniMover system, a slow-moving track that's now used in several rides across Disneyland and Disney World.
Even when Monsanto ended its sponsorship in 1977, the ride was very popular, and it remained open until 1985. It closed for the new highly anticipated ride, Star Tours, which opened in 1987.
Today, the ride pays homage to Adventure Thru Inner Space with an appearance of the Mighty Microscope, and is now called Star Tours — The Adventure Continues.
The PeopleMover's leisurely journey was replaced by the high-thrill yet poorly-working Rocket Rods, which also closed.
Tomorrowland's '60s renovation also brought the PeopleMover, a slow-speed ride that shuttled guests along an above-ground track that swept throughout the park.
The PeopleMover rode over Autopia and the Submarine Voyage lagoon, under the Monorail, and through sections of rides like Adventure Thru Inner Space (later Star Tours), Space Mountain, and the former Carousel of Progress.
In 1977, the SuperSpeed Tunnel was added to a portion of the track that featured projections of race cars and, later in 1982, scenes from "Tron." However, due to low ridership and another Tomorrowland renovation, the PeopleMover closed in 1995.
In 1998, a new high-speed thrill ride opened on top of the PeopleMover tracks: Rocket Rods. This ride was basically the same as its predecessor, except that it sped up faster and more often, and held fewer guests at a time.
However, because PeopleMover's tracks were only meant to hold a slow-moving attraction, Rocket Rods had to decelerate at sharp curves, which ultimately led to wear and tear on the cars and tracks. In 2000, the ride quietly closed, but the tracks still remain in the park today.
Tacky celebrity caricatures and a lackluster plot contributed to the closing of Disney California Adventure's Superstar Limo within a year.
Superstar Limo was planned to open with Disneyland's new park Disney California Adventure Park in 2001 and it did … but only after huge changes to its plot and props. The original concept was guests-turned-superstars being told by then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner to rush through Hollywood while chased by paparazzi to get their movie contract signed at the Chinese Theatre.
However, on August 31, 1997, Princess Diana tragically died in a car accident reportedly from a paparazzi chase. The ride concept was deemed tasteless and the ride needed cost-effective changes before opening day.
Superstar Limo then became a slow-moving dark ride. Riding in purple limousines, guests passed cartoonish Hollywood landmarks and celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Allen, Cher, Regis Philbin, and Drew Carey, and they were portrayed as tacky caricature figurines rather than animatronics.
It promptly shut down in 2002. Four years later, Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! replaced it. There are several elements from its predecessor in it including the same cars (that were painted yellow) and the caricatures (now covered by the film's signature hazmat suits).
California Screamin' was a highlight at Paradise Pier, but closed and reopened as the Incredicoaster after a rebrand.
Paradise Pier opened with Disney California Adventure Park in 2001 and was modeled after vintage beach and boardwalk culture. Its main attraction was California Screamin', a steel roller coaster that had the look of a rickety wooden ride. The roller coaster had plenty of thrills including its famous 360-degree loop in front of a giant Mickey Mouse head.
In 2009, Paradise Pier was first renovated, but the popular roller coaster stayed mostly untouched. The only change was removing Mickey Mouse's ears, and his head becoming a sun. A sign reading Paradise Pier was also added above it.
But then in 2018, California Screamin' closed when the area was renovated again into the new Pixar Pier Boardwalk.
The roller coaster reopened, now standing in Incredibles Park and renamed and re-themed as the Incredicoaster. This updated version includes characters from "The Incredibles," special effects, music, and a new backdrop behind the loop: the Pixar Luxo ball.
The Sun Wheel closed twice for renovations before becoming the current Pixar-themed Ferris wheel.
Also opening with the park in 2001 next to California Screamin', the Sun Wheel and its giant smiling sun was the visual highlight of Paradise Pier. It also reimagined what a Ferris wheel could be.
In addition to stationary gondolas on the outer part of the wheel, other gondolas were on separate tracks on the inner part of the wheel, falling and swinging.
In 2009, when Paradise Pier was being renovated, the ride temporarily closed and was rebranded as Mickey's Fun Wheel. The sun decoration was replaced with a vintage Mickey Mouse face with sun rays behind it, and the gondolas now had paintings of Mickey Mouse and his famous friends.
During the 2018 renovation into Pixar Pier Boardwalk, this version of the wheel also closed. It was renamed as Pixar Pal-A-Round, and is now covered with fresh paintings of beloved Pixar characters on the gondolas.
King Triton's Carousel was an underwater dream, but it didn't match the Pixar takeover, so it got a new look.
King Triton's Carousel opened in Paradise Pier in 2001. The delightful carousel ride featured the king of the sea from "The Little Mermaid," along with 56 different undersea creature seats, as opposed to standard horses.
However, when Toy Story Midway Mania! was added nearby in 2008, the different themes clashed, as "Toy Story" is Pixar and "The Little Mermaid" is classic Disney.
Eventually in 2018, the section became Pixar Pier, and King Triton's Carousel closed. It reopened as the "Toy Story"-themed Jessie's Critter Carousel with new animals to choose from and ride.
A Bug's Land and all of its child-friendly attractions closed forever in 2018.
A Bug's Land, inspired by "A Bug's Life," opened in Disney California Adventure in 2002. The area was geared towards preschoolers, giving the perspective of being a bug.
Its main attractions included the famous "It's Tough to be a Bug!" show and several childrens rides.
Flik's Flyers sent guests whirling and spinning in the air in makeshift hot air balloons. Heimlich's Chew Chew Train sat passengers inside the bubbly caterpillar character through a food-infested garden.
Guests could also ride in bumper cars under a circus tent in Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies, or they could dance along to the musical Francis' Ladybug Boogie figure-eight track.
But in 2018, these rides and all of A Bug's Land closed entirely. Although popular with toddlers, this space was needed for a more modern and profitable endeavor: the Avengers Campus area, which opened in 2021.
Disney California Adventure's Tower of Terror was a classic, but closed for a new "Guardians of the Galaxy" ride.
While The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has been a staple at Disney World since 1994, Disney California Adventure only introduced their version in 2004. The ride acts as a never-released episode of the "The Twilight Zone" in which five guests ride a 1930s Hollywood hotel elevator and are never seen again.
In the California ride, guests entered this same hotel to find the lost people while they rode the same service elevator and got sucked into the Twilight Zone. Special effects and optical illusions tricked and scared riders on their way up the hotel. The climax was a 13-story plummet when the elevator cable supposedly snapped.
Although a fan-favorite, Tower of Terror was set to close in 2017. For the final five months of the ride's operation, a special "Late Check-Out" experience let guests ride in complete darkness after twilight.
After closing, it was quickly replaced by Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT!, which uses the same building. | https://www.insider.com/reasons-why-disneyland-rides-have-shut-down-2022-6 | 2022-07-01T21:21:12Z | https://www.insider.com/reasons-why-disneyland-rides-have-shut-down-2022-6 | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration moved last week to ban Juul products from sale, but that’s not the end of it.
The order has been held up in court as Juul appeals. Anti-smoking advocates like the American Lung Association say they are optimistic Juul will not see a return to the market based on data they submitted to the FDA, but pro-vaping groups warn new regulations could backfire on public health.
“Yes, some progress is being made but more is necessary,” Paul Billings of the American Lung Association said.
He said Juul is to blame for fueling the teen vaping epidemic and says its devices should never have made it to the market in the first place.
“Sadly, in the interim, millions have become addicted,” Billings said.
He said the FDA should get all flavored and synthetic vaping products off the shelves.
“Congress has made it clear FDA has that authority and has put the FDA on a strict timeline,” Billings said.
But Juul is not going down without a fight and adult smoking advocates say they hope Juul’s appeal succeeds. They argue the FDA’s crusade will do more harm than good.
“I thinks FDA’s reasoning is flawed,” Guy Bentley of libertarian think tank Reason said. “If Juul was taken off the market, it would be a really devastating blow to public health. Juul has helped hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of smokers transition away from the most dangerous form of nicotine consumption, which is smoking cigarettes.”
“We need to recognize the facts of life,” he continued, “that people are going to seek out these products and seek out nicotine. It is far better to have safer alternatives in a regulated market than push things to the black market.”
There’s no telling how long the appeal process will take. In the meantime, Juul products are still being sold. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/washington-dc/the-fda-banned-juul-so-whats-next/ | 2022-07-01T21:22:31Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/washington-dc/the-fda-banned-juul-so-whats-next/ | true | 14 |
Why has business been slow for Foxes?
- Published
Owynn Palmer-Atkin, BBC Radio Leicester's Foxes reporter
Following the 4-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup in January, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers told BBC Radio Leicester for the first time that he was looking at a “refresh” of his playing squad and that they’d now “come to the end of a cycle”.
Today is 1 July, so why have we seen little-to-no movement from the Foxes in arguably one of their most important transfer windows… ever?
It all comes down to player trading, with “trading” being the key word.
Leicester City have apportioned £50m worth of losses to the pandemic alone, meaning that the resources in the bank are limited. To create more funds, they need to move some of the players who have relative worth away from the football club.
Players such as Jannik Vestergaard, Caglar Soyuncu and Ryan Bertrand have all been tipped to leave Filbert Way. It’s sales from those players that will then allow the Foxes to move into the market to attain the players they need ahead of the new Premier League season.
BBC Sport Leicester understands the Foxes are in the hunt for a central defender, particularly a left-footer, an attacking midfielder and a left-footed right winger. Plus, a manager-backed move for last season’s on-loan winger Ademola Lookman, for £14m.
There’s also a key problem that is stopping Leicester City from moving into the market - squad size.
Currently the Foxes have 28 players that need to be squeezed into a 25-man Premier League squad, following the return of Dennis Praet, George Hirst and Daniel Iversen from their loan spells. If they are looking to bring in the four players mentioned above, then they’ll have to move a further SEVEN players on to a new venture, after the departure of Eldin Jakupovic last month.
It remains to be seen whether that number of players will be able to leave the club this summer, with the new season rapidly approaching - but any business of incomings looks unlikely until the back door starts to revolve at King Power Stadium. | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/crgndmm8y1jo | 2022-07-01T21:23:23Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/crgndmm8y1jo | true | 2 |

Report: Jazz trading Rudy Gobert to Wolves for massive haul originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
The Stifle Tower is on the move.
The Utah Jazz are trading three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a massive haul that includes several players and first-round picks.
Minnesota is sending Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Walker Kessler, Leandro Bolmaro and four future first-round picks to Utah in exchange for Gobert, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Wolves surrendered unprotected first-round picks in 2023, 2025 and 2027 and a top-five-protected first-rounder in 2029, per Wojnarowski.
Gobert, who just recently turned 30, has been one of the NBA's most impactful defensive players for most of his nine-year career. The former 27th overall pick has averaged at least two blocks per game for eight straight seasons, made six consecutive All-Defensive First Teams and captured the Defensive Player of the Year award three times (2017-18, 2018-19 and 2020-21).
The 7-footer also has four All-NBA nods and is coming off a third consecutive All-Star season, where he posted 15.6 points, a league-leading 14.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.

Jeffers’ Schutz will play basketball at Finlandia
U.P. Dream Team Player in 2021-2022
HANCOCK, Mich. (WLUC) - Johnny Schutz (Painesdale, Mich.) has committed to play for the Finlandia University men’s basketball team. Schultz has not determined his field of study.
Schutz closed out an impressive career at Jeffers High School. As a senior, he averaged 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. Schutz was All Copper Mountain Conference Elite, All-U.P. Dream Team and Division 3 All-State second team.
Schutz set the school single-game record for 3-pointers made (11), season record for 3-pointers made (77) and career records for 3-pointers made (214) and points (1226).

President Joe Biden told Democratic governors Friday that he is “looking at all the alternatives” for protecting abortion access following the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
One day after returning from international summits in Europe, Biden described the ruling as “tragic” and warned that Republicans could try to enact a nationwide ban on abortion if they retake control of Congress. He urged Democrats to elect at least two more senators so they could create an exception to the filibuster and codify in law the protections that had been provided under Roe v. Wade.
At least two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, have blocked efforts to sidestep the filibuster. The party would need unanimous backing from the Senate's 48 Democrats and two allied independents, plus the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris, to make that rules change over solid GOP opposition.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul suggested that Biden consider having abortions performed at federal facilities like Veterans Affairs hospitals or military bases in states that restrict abortions.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Native American tribes, which have a level of sovereignty over their own lands, could also be valuable partners.
“We’re in the process of looking at all the alternatives,” Biden said.
However, he did not make any announcements. Some activists and Democrats have been frustrated by what they consider an overly cautious approach from the administration, especially since the court decision has been expected since a draft leaked nearly two months ago.
The justice's June 24 ruling overturned a 1973 decision that had declared a constitutional right to abortion. Each state will now determine whether the procedure can be performed.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Friday, President Joe Biden told Democratic governors that he’s looking at every available option to protect abortion access, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
“A terrible and extreme decision in my view upending lives and impacting the health and safety of millions of American women,” the President said.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) says states like hers are stepping up to help.
“Now just a handful of states are now going to have to take care of the healthcare of women from other states,” Hochul said.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.) agrees Democrat-led states are vital to protecting women’s rights.
“We are in fact that brick wall against this horrific Supreme Court decision,” Lujan Grisham said.
But, the President warns that Republicans aren’t satisfied and will push for a nationwide ban on abortion if they regain control of Congress.
“Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law,” President Biden said.
But the president doesn’t have the votes to get that through the Senate.
Gov. Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) says this should remind Americans why they need to go out and vote.
“You have U.S. Senators, you have U.S. members of Congress who are not willing to codify that protection into federal law. It’s time to change up,” Cooper said.
For now, President Biden is looking at what federal options are available. | https://www.fox44news.com/washington/washington-dc/president-biden-discusses-abortion-options-with-democrat-governors/ | 2022-07-01T21:43:17Z | https://www.fox44news.com/washington/washington-dc/president-biden-discusses-abortion-options-with-democrat-governors/ | true | 22 |

Mexican leader hails new but unfinished refinery at formal launch
By Adriana Barrera
PARAISO, Mexico, July 1 (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador formally opened a major new oil refinery on Friday, a signature project for the leftist leader who argues it will help the country cut a longstanding dependence on foreign gasoline and diesel supplies.
The Olmeca refinery owned and operated by state-run oil company Pemex is billions of dollars over budget and still under construction, but that did not stop Lopez Obrador from headlining a splashy inauguration ceremony at the facility built just off the Gulf coast port of Dos Bocas in his home state of Tabasco.
In a speech, Lopez Obrador dismissed critics who argue that fossil fuels should no longer be part of Mexico's energy future, while also criticizing past governments for failing to build a new refinery in nearly four decades.
"During all this time, they bet on selling crude oil and then buying gasoline, diesel and other fuels in foreign lands," said Lopez Obrador.
But officials have said the Olmeca refinery likely will not be ready to start producing motor fuels until 2023, as months of testing are necessary once construction is complete.
Lopez Obrador himself recently conceded the facility will end up costing between $11 billion-12 billion, not the roughly $8 billion he originally set as its maximum cost.
In April, sources close to the project told Reuters it will cost at least $14 billion while other reports have put the final price tag several billion dollars higher.
Two people familiar with the matter recently told Reuters the new refinery will only be running near capacity in 2025.
The president, a leftist resource nationalist, argues that the refinery can help wean Mexico off of imported motor fuels, almost all of which is supplied by U.S. refiners, which he says underlines the country's sovereignty. He also believes the refinery can better protect Mexican motorists' wallets from the volatility of the international oil market.
The refinery, with a top crude processing capacity of 340,000 barrels per day, will be Pemex's largest once it comes online.
In separate remarks prior to the president's speech, Pemex Chief Executive Octavio Romero said the Salina Cruz refinery in Oaxaca, currently Pemex's biggest, will also be upgraded to include a major new coking plant, which is needed to more efficiently process heavy crude into higher value fuels.
Romero said construction company ICA Fluor has been awarded a turnkey contract for the coking plant, but did not provide further details.

Which T-fal set should is best?
Anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen will likely be familiar with the French cookware company, T-fal. As one of the top brands in culinary products, a quality T-fal cookware set will last any chef a long time and help them produce delicious meals.
While they are great options for experienced home chefs, T-fal cookware sets are perfect for amateurs and those new to cooking. The T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Cookware Set is an ideal nonstick option that features many pots and pans, beneficial for various recipes.
What to know before you buy a T-fal cookware set
Cookware material
Some common cookware materials include stainless steel, aluminum, copper and clad. Each has its pros and cons.
Stainless steel is the most common cookware material. Affordable, versatile and practical, stainless steel is an all-around reliable choice. While it doesn’t conduct heat and some other metals, it won’t cause any reactions when used with specific foods.
Aluminum is another affordable metal, and it conducts heat better than stainless steel. Choosing hard-anodized aluminum is an intelligent choice, as it produces a strong, durable pan.
Copper is valuable for its conductive properties and impressive appearance. While it is a beautiful and efficient material for cookware, it is more expensive and needs more regular maintenance.
Clad cookware essentially combines the three previous types of metals to produce cookware that offers their desired individual properties without significant downsides.
Pot and pan types
Frying pans are a chef’s best friend. You can find sets with both standard and nonstick frying pans, and most will feature at least two or three pans of varying sizes.
Saucepans also come in various sizes, making them great for boiling pasta, making soups or crafting a delicious sauce.
Griddles feature a thin flat surface. Nonstick versions are ideal for breakfast foods, such as pancakes, bacon, eggs and more.
Dutch ovens are the largest pots included in a T-fal cookware set. Often featuring a lid, these pieces are great for braising and frying. Some models feature side handles to grip and carry the pot easily.
Utensils: Not all T-fal cookware sets include utensils, but some feature spatulas, serving spoons, slotted spoons, ladles and more.
Number of set pieces
All T-fal cookware sets will contain many pieces, with most featuring anywhere from 10-20 individual pots, pans and utensils. Choose a set that contains all the necessary equipment you think you’ll need, based on what and how often you cook.
What to look for in a quality T-fal cookware set
Nonstick
By choosing a nonstick cookware set, you’ll save yourself time and energy on cleanup. Food and residue won’t become stuck to the slick surface, so you don’t have to spend time scrubbing and soaking. Plus, the nonstick coating used by T-fal is non-toxic and free from PFOA and other harmful chemicals, making it a safe option.
Weight
Different cookware materials will have different weights. You’ll want to have a balance between weight and durability, as materials like aluminum are lighter than stainless steel, though stainless steel tends to be stronger.
Easy-to-clean
Before purchasing a T-fal cookware set, check to see if the items are dishwasher safe. If not, choosing a nonstick option will be easier when washing by hand.
Handle material
Having a rubberized handle will help prevent the handle from becoming too hot to hold. This will also make it more ergonomic and comfortable to grip. If you plan on hanging your pots and pans from a rack or hooks, double-check that the handles feature a convenient storage hole.
Included lid
Most T-fal cookware sets include lids for at least a few of their pots or pans. Lids make cooking and steaming easier, and glass lids are incredibly convenient for keeping tabs on your food throughout the cooking process.
How much you can expect to spend on a T-fal cookware set
Quality T-fal cookware sets start around $60 and can go up to $200.
T-fal cookware FAQ
Will T-fal cookware work with an induction stove?
A. This depends mainly on the specific type of cookware set. Some non-stick sets are not compatible with induction stovetops, while others that feature a magnetic metal base will likely work with all stove types. Be sure to check the set’s label before purchasing.
Are T-fal nonstick pans safe to use?
A. The simple answer is yes. T-fal no longer uses PFOA in the production or coating of their nonstick pans, making them nontoxic and safe for everyday use. However, care should still be taken not to regularly overheat nonstick pans, as they can sometimes release fumes that can be hazardous to certain pets, such as birds.

Oil Rose on the Week
Oil rose in thin trading ahead of the US holiday weekend as export disruptions in Libya exacerbated global supply concerns.
West Texas Intermediate rose over $108 a barrel, posting a slight weekly gain after dropping the previous two weeks. Production from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries dropped by 120,000 barrels a day in June for a second straight monthly decline, according to a Bloomberg survey. Libyan exports have fallen to about one-third of last year’s level after a worsening political crisis prompted the suspension of shipments from two of the nation’s biggest ports.
“Crude prices are finishing the week on a high note as Libya’s political crisis is leading to a steep drop with oil exports. We’ve seen this movie before and a tight oil market and force majeure at key ports should provide underlying support for oil prices,” said Ed Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda Corp.
Friday’s rebound comes after crude ended June down 8% on the month as investors fretted over a potential global slowdown. Oil has increased enough to alarm US President Joe Biden, who’s pushing for cheaper gasoline at home while spearheading efforts to get producers in the Middle East to boost crude output.
Withing OPEC, erratic exporter Nigeria drove the loss, with output slumping to a record low. Yet even Saudi Arabia -- which Biden will visit this month -- failed to deliver its promised increase. Nigeria’s output dropped by 100,000 barrels a day to 1.2 million a day, the lowest since the country joined the ranks of major producers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Risk of weaker fuel exports is also emerging in India after the government on Friday increased levies on shipments of gasoline and diesel as part of a drive to control a worsening currency deficit. India is a major global fuel supplier and a drop in sales could further tighten markets that have been reeling from reduced Russian shipments.
Still, the market for real crude barrels remains firm. Premiums for North Sea oil remains strong, while crude from Angola is selling fast as European refiners buy more cargoes with supply drying up from some of the continent’s biggest supplies. The scarcity is highlighted in crude’s futures curve remaining backwardated, where near-term contracts are more expensive than those for later delivery.
Prices:
- WTI for August delivery rose $2.67 to settle at $108.33 a barrel in New York, to post a 0.8% gain for the week
- Brent for September settlement climbed $2.60 to settle at $111.63 a barrel
Traders will be scrutinizing the next moves by OPEC and its allies. While the group this week ratified an oil-production increase for August, it left the more-pressing issue of future output levels unresolved.
Meanwhile, US demand remains robust as a record number of drivers are expected to hit the road this weekend for Independence Day travel, buttressing gasoline consumption. Average retail pump prices have eased slightly in recent weeks after hitting a record above $5 a gallon in June.

Leicester star Youri Tielemans' stance on joining Arsenal with Man Utd keen on transfer
ARSENAL and Manchester United could face a transfer battle to land Youri Tielemans.
Arsenal's pre-season schedule as Gunners head to USA
Leicester star Youri Tielemans will reportedly quit the King Power Stadium this summer and put pen-to-paper on a deal with Arsenal if the Gunners reach an agreement with the Foxes to sign him. Tielemans has been the subject of transfer interest this summer, with Manchester United also said to be keen to land him.
Tielemans arrived in England in 2019 after Leicester shelled out a club record £35million to prise him away from Monaco. And he has taken the Premier League by storm as he has become a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ side.
In 2021, the midfielder’s stunning strike proved the difference as Leicester defeated Chelsea 1-0 to lift the FA Cup trophy for the first time in their history. And the 25-year-old has contributed an impressive 24 goals and 24 assists in 158 games for his current employers.
Tielemans, who has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal since last year, only has one more year remaining on his current contract and has turned down a number of offers from the Foxes. And, according to CBS Sports Golazo, the talented ace wants to move to the Emirates Stadium.
JUST IN: William Saliba's 'leaked' Arsenal shirt number provides huge hint on team-mate's future
The Gunners have apparently agreed terms for the Belgium international and their transfer chief Edu is still in touch with the player’s agent. But they have never placed an official bid for him.
Arsenal signed Fabio Vieira, who plays in the same position as Tielemans, last month as Mikel Arteta continues to build for the new campaign. And while Vieira’s arrival in the capital doesn’t rule out a move for the Leicester man, the Gunners are still deciding whether to make an offer.

Tottenham on verge of fourth and fifth signings following double transfer breakthrough
Tielemans was a target for Ralf Rangnick last season when the 64-year-old was at Old Trafford as United’s interim boss. But the ace didn’t want to sign for the Red Devils while the Austrian was in charge. New manager Erik ten Hag is also said to be interested. And if the Dutchman’s pitch appeals to Tielemans, Edu may be forced to make a quick decision.
Meanwhile, Tottenham and Real Madrid have also been tipped to make a move for Tielemans. But the two clubs aren’t serious suitors. And Leicester haven’t given up hope that the player will remain in the east Midlands beyond the end of his current deal. The Foxes are currently planning for him to stay with the team next season and could offer him fresh terms once again if a move away doesn’t materialise.

Terna Group will join MITEI's Future Energy Systems Center to facilitate interactions between the MIT researchers and industry, to advance research and develop solutions for the energy transition, including the evolution of the electricity sector
ROME and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Terna Group, one of the leading European and global electricity transmission operators, will become a member of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), MIT's hub for energy research, education, and outreach. The Italian company, starting July 1, will be the first transmission and system operator to become a MITEI member. This collaboration represents a further step for Terna in strengthening its key role in driving the energy transition and achieving the decarbonization targets set in the European Green Deal.
With a three-year membership agreement, the Terna Group will participate in MITEI's Future Energy Systems Center, which is aimed at facilitating in-depth interactions between MIT's faculty and researchers and member companies to address pressing energy challenges and develop solutions for decarbonization to bring to the marketplace. The Center is pursuing a series of member-funded research activities including projects aimed at the evolution of the electricity sector.
"We are honored to join the MIT Energy Initiative and bring Terna's contribution and expertise to MITEI's Future Energy Systems Center," said Stefano Donnarumma, CEO of the Terna Group. "The goal of the collaboration between Terna and the MIT research community is to combine Terna's experience on grid technology and development with MIT engineering, economic, and regulatory competencies to promote the improvement of the electric grid as a driver for the energy transition and to curb climate change."
"We are grateful to have Terna as a Member of MITEI's Future Energy Systems Center," said Robert C. Armstrong, MITEI director and the Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT. "Terna will bring important transmission and electricity system operation wisdom and experience to this consortium, which will help us accelerate progress towards the energy transition."
As a vital component of MIT's Climate Action Plan for the Decade and MITEI's research program, the Future Energy Systems Center conducts integrated analysis of the energy system, providing insights into the complex multisectoral transformations that will alter the power and transportation systems, industry, and built environment.
As a member of MITEI's Future Energy Systems Center, Terna will be represented on the Center Advisory Committee and offer its guidance to the Center and its future research priorities. MIT faculty take in member advice and independently decide the Center's research agenda. Terna will also benefit from joining regular seminars on important emerging energy technologies and topics, as well as periodic interactive workshops for the purpose of disseminating research findings and to facilitate discussion amongst members and MIT researchers concerning ongoing, and prospective research projects.

It was the final practice of minicamp, late during a team period, when those of us watching finally got to see it: Left tackle Taylor Decker, left guard Jonah Jackson, center Frank Ragnow, right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai and right tackle Penei Sewell lined up together on the field as a starting five unit for Detroit's offensive line.
"It's always good to see those guys out there," offensive line coach Hank Fraley said after practice of getting all five of his starters on the field together in minicamp. "It's good. It's been awhile since those five guys have even taken a rep together. Those guys love working together and to see all five of those guys run out together, they can be a special group, but we're a long ways from that."
Decker was dealing with a minor foot injury the team was cautious about to start the offseason program, which kept him off the field until near the end of minicamp, and we finally got to see what's expected to be the strength of this Detroit Lions football team in 2022.
"It's been good, man," Ragnow said about getting all five starters on the field together during minicamp. "Obviously, last year was very frustrating. But it's been good. It's really beneficial for us just to spend time together because that chemistry with the o-line is huge."
Not one time last season did Decker, Jackson, Ragnow, Vaitai and Sewell play a single game together. Decker missed the first half of the season with a finger injury, and Ragnow was lost for the year Week 4 in Chicago with a foot injury.
The Lions are learning a new offense under new coordinator Ben Johnson, and Ragnow said it's been good to have all five starters together in the meeting room and on the field to work through the nuances and tempo changes.
A Pro Bowler in 2020, Ragnow is one of the best centers in the game. He's the glue that keeps it all together upfront for the Lions. His loss was a big one last year, though Evan Brown did a very nice job filling in.
Still, getting Ragnow back is huge for this offense. He said he's in the best shape of his career, and looks forward to taking on the high expectations building for this offensive line. Pro Football Focus projects the Lions to have the third best offensive line in football heading into the season.
Ragnow and Jackson have already been to a Pro Bowl, and Sewell is trending in that direction if he picks up where he left off last year. Decker is consistently one of the top 10 left tackles in the game, and Vaitai didn't allow a single sack last year.
It also helps this is a close-knit group off the field. They hang out together, go to dinner together, and Ragnow even takes some of the guys out fishing. He wouldn't divulge who the worst fisherman in the group is, but that chemistry off the field is something Ragnow sees manifesting itself on the field as well.
View some of the best photos from Detroit Lions offseason workouts, OTAs and minicamp.
"There a lot of unique looks, especially on third down, where some things have to happen without you even saying anything," he said. "And the more reps and more time you spend together, you understand how I might handle that look and how we might pass off that game or what I might be thinking to make the call so they understand and we're all smooth."
The Lions have added "some dudes" as Ragnow puts it at the skill positions on offense, and there's genuine excitement for this offense. But Ragnow, Fraley and everyone else knows it all starts upfront, and those five starters are ready to be the catalyst for what everyone involved expects to be a much better Lions offense in 2022. | https://www.detroitlions.com/news/ragnow-lions-o-line-looking-forward-to-taking-on-high-expectations-for-unit | 2022-07-01T21:59:17Z | https://www.detroitlions.com/news/ragnow-lions-o-line-looking-forward-to-taking-on-high-expectations-for-unit | true | 1 |

The virtual currency has been experiencing a decline in value in the global market for the past few weeks due to inflation in many economies.
Bad news for many investors. Especially those using virtual currency, in this case, Bitcoin. For a few weeks, as reported by the economic website, Echo, the cryptocurrency has recorded its lowest level since its creation. During the month of June, it fell below 20,000 dollars therefore a fall from 40,000 dollars to 18,778 dollars.
This, as the Echo explains, is the result of tensions within the crypto industry that continue to accumulate. Added to this, there is the monetary, with in particular an American monetary policy that has become even stricter and the world economy also from the fall of the facts of socio-economic unrest such as the war between Ukraine and Russia.
“The US Federal Bank has confirmed the tightening of its monetary policy, leading to an increase in key rates to contain the galloping inflation resulting from the economic recovery and accelerated by the war in Ukraine. This caused a drop in global stock markets. The drop in bitcoin was also attributed to the suspension of withdrawals from the Celsius platform at the beginning of last week, which until now allowed investing in virtual currencies, “explains the website Journal du net. Other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum or Cardano are not spared by their drops in value.
Today informs the Echo, the cryptocurrency market is at a fraction of its sums in 2021 when Bitcoin, for example, was trading at nearly 69,000 dollars. However, according to the Journal du net, this is not the first time that bitcoin has experienced such a drop. It had already fallen below the $30,000 threshold in June and July 2021. | https://www.journalducameroun.com/en/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-devaluates-globally/ | 2022-07-01T22:01:08Z | https://www.journalducameroun.com/en/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-devaluates-globally/ | false | 1 |
Dallas-based Chili's, known for their baby back ribs and chili, has something new on the menu: a robot server named "Rita."
Rita is a Servi model made by Bear Robotics, a California-based company that debuted the robot in September 2020. Motto: "Servi Tackles The Dirty Work - Servi Runs, You Serve."
Chili's began testing the robot as a service backup in October 2020.
"Rita" is currently deployed in 61 of their locations across the U.S., including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, and Texas.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the robot can currently be found in four restaurants:
- Castle Hills – 4570 Highway 121, Lewisville
- Tarrant Pkwy – 8485 Davis Blvd, North Richland Hills
- Justin Road – 6251 Long Prairie Rd, Flower Mound
- Park & Preston – 5012 W. Park Blvd, Plano
"We find it very important to note that she is not taking anyone's job," a spokesperson says. "She exists to make the jobs of our Team Members easier and to actually allow guests to get more face time with our staff because our servers don’t need to run back and forth."
Rita's four duties include:
- Hosting. Lead diners to their table, allowing the host to stay at the host stand to help those still waiting.
- Food Running. Carry the bulk of the dishes, saving strain on servers and food runners and allowing servers to spend more time in the front of the house.
- Bussing: Can be loaded up and sent to the kitchen to more quickly unload tables.
- Birthday Song: Sings the Chili's birthday song and delivers a free dessert.
That last task is hugely popular for kids and if you've ever worked at a restaurant and been forced to sing Happy Birthday to a customer, you already know that having a robot do this instead is infinitely preferable.
Not that one needs to clarify, but there is nothing human or female about "Rita" at all. The robot is a mobile cylinder with three shelves. It could have been nicknamed Roger or Randy or Roland or Ryan or Russell.
And Chili's is not the first to add robots to its service arsenal. Robots were pegged as the No. 1 trend in food & beverage for 2022, and are especially popular at Asian restaurants such as Bushi Bushi, a dim sum place in Addison.
Brinker has made other high-tech forays including its partnership with drone delivery company Flytrex to deliver Chili's It's Just Wings to customers in their backyards.
As far as mistakes go, Rita has been found to get it right more than 99 percent of the time, which easily exceeds the performance of most humans. But Chili's is still supporting the human race, with all its flaws.
"The hospitality industry is about people, and we have no interest in changing that," says Brinker's senior vice president of innovation Wade Allen.
We are innovating in ways that make Team Members less likely to burn out or wear down," he says. "Rita can shoulder the physical load, leading to less exertion and more efficiency." | https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-01-22-chilis-bear-robotics-servers-rita/ | 2022-07-01T22:01:50Z | https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-01-22-chilis-bear-robotics-servers-rita/ | false | 1 |
NY Attorney General Sues Gun Distributors For Fueling Gun Violence
New York State Attorney General Letitia James has filed a landmark lawsuit against multiple gun distributors.
In her nation-leading lawsuit, James claims the ten gun distributors sold tens of thousands of illegal parts to New Yorkers that were converted into unserialized, untraceable handguns and assault style weapons, known as “ghost guns.”
The AG says the gun distributors violated several laws, including New York’s licensing laws, by selling weapons to felons and others without a background check.
“While families mourned loved ones lost to senseless gun violence, gun sellers avoided accountability for the illegal and dangerous weapons they sold,” said James. “There should be no more immunity for gun distributors bringing harm and havoc to New York. Today’s lawsuit holds 10 gun sellers accountable for fueling the gun violence crisis and endangering New Yorkers. Illegal guns do not belong on our streets or in our communities and we will use every tool necessary to root them out.”
James is invoking a newly enacted Public Nuisance statute to hold the gun distributors responsible.
She says it's time to hold gun distributors responsible.
The businesses named in Attorney General James’ lawsuit are among the nation’s leading gun distributors including.
- Blackhawk Manufacturing Group
- Salvo Technologies
- G.S. Performance
- Indie Guns
- Primary Arms
- Arm or Ally
- Rainier Arms
- KM Tactical
- Rock Slide USA
James’ lawsuit details how these businesses repeatedly undermined the law and flooded New York’s streets with illegal ghost guns that harmed New Yorkers.
Today’s action builds on the Attorney General’s efforts to crack down on ghost guns and combat the gun violence crisis. | https://wibx950.com/ny-attorney-general-sues-gun-distributors-for-fueling-gun-violence/ | 2022-07-01T22:02:37Z | https://wibx950.com/ny-attorney-general-sues-gun-distributors-for-fueling-gun-violence/ | true | 2 |

The Lateish Show viewers were floored as boy band Hanson made an appearance on the show - and looked a million miles away from their days at the top of the charts with hit MMMBop. The band - formed by brothers Isaac Hanson, Taylor Hanson, and Zac Hanson - rose to fame in the 90s.
They were particularly well known for their sweeping blonde locks. But as they appeared on the Channel 4 show, hosted by comedian Mo Gilligan on Friday night (July 1), they had definitely grown up.
The boys stunned viewers who took to Twitter to comment.

@EirianMairJardi said: "@MoTheComedian loving #Hansen on #thelateishshow they have grown up! @Channel4." @easyrider334 commented: "Anyone else thought the guy with the guitar from Hanson looks like a young David Seaman #TheLateishShow."
@sammym71 added: "Omg Hanson on my telly box. Taylor is 39 now."
Viewers were oving the band's appearance. @Dirk_1968 wrote: "#thelateishshow Wow how cool to see #Hanson on the Mo Gillighan show. Just got hit by a brick of 90s nostalgia.."
@sue_simmonds said: "Who doesn’t love #Hanson and #DooWop? And I’m relatively old #TheLateishShow." And @screeninsight added: "Was only listening to @hansonmusic 's MIDDLE OF NOWHERE this week. What a great surprise on #thelateishshow!"

One thousand LGBTQIA+ books were distributed Monday as part of an event called "Caravan of Queens."
The partnership between the Coastal Bend Trans Alliance and the Corpus Christi American Federation of Teachers.
The books were delivered to several locations to help educate people about the diversity in our community.
"I think this is an excellent way to have those kids that are identifying as LGTBQ+ see their representation, and see the visibility, and feel that they are able to live their authentic lives,” said the Coastal Bend Trans Alliance’s Kitana Sanchez.

(Rock Port) -- Atchison County residents have plenty of options for voting in the upcoming Missouri Primary Election. Absentee voting is underway in most of the state for the August 2 Primary. Atchison County Clerk Susette Taylor tells KMA News absentee voting is available by mail or in person....
(Clarinda) -- The long-running debate over a proposed wind turbine project in Page County will have to wait at least a few more weeks for a decision. Meeting in special session Thursday afternoon, the Page County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and ultimately delayed a formal vote on the permit application for Invenergy's proposed "Shenandoah Hills" wind farm project south of Shenandoah. The decision primarily came after a discussion with Jenny Burkhiser with KYFR in Shenandoah, who says three turbines for the project are located within three kilometers of the station's AM transmitter towers. However, Burkhiser says there has been little cooperation from Invenergy since March in seeking necessary information to complete their legal obligations.
(Clarinda) -- Page County Attorney Carl Sonksen's office released its latest report of court activities. At KMA, we attempt to be accurate in our reporting. If you see a typo or mistake in a story, please contact us by emailing kmaradio@kmaland.com.
(Clarinda) -- The State Auditor's Office released its audit report on the city of Clarinda Thursday. According to State Auditor Rob Sand's report, the city's receipts totaled over $16.8 million for the year ending June 30, 2021 -- a 75% increase over the prior year. Additionally, disbursements were up 91% totaling roughly $15 million. According to the report, the significant increase in receipts and disbursements is primarily due to sewer revenue bond proceeds and disbursements for the city's sewer system and street improvement projects.
(Shenandoah) -- Shenandoah officials urge cooperation from residents this 4th of July weekend when it comes to fireworks. Under the city's ordinance, fireworks are allowed July 1-3 until 10 p.m. and July 4th until 11 p.m. City officials explored limiting fireworks shootings to July 4 because of numerous complaints over loud noises beyond the legal hours. But, the Shenandoah City Council opted to leave the current ordinance as is. Shenandoah Police Chief Josh Gray is among those reviewing proposed changes earlier this year. Speaking on KMA's "Morning Line" program earlier this week, Gray estimated his department received up to 50 complaint calls regarding fireworks as of Thursday...
(Malvern) -- Mills County is ready for some high-octane fun this Saturday. On July 2, a number of powerful machines will be rolling into the fairgrounds for the Mills County Fair Tractor Pull. The night's event is being hosted by the Nebraska Bush Pullers, who are making their fifth trip back to the area. Ryan Wilgenbusch, a spokesperson for the pull, says the show the Pullers put on is unmatched.
(Shenandoah) -- Final preparations are underway for another Independence Day fireworks show in Shenandoah. Huge crowds are expected in Sportsman's Park Saturday evening at around 9:30 for the annual fireworks extravaganza--the culmination of Star Spangled Shenandoah activities throughout the day. Shenandoah Police Chief Josh Gray and Bryston Dunkeson of the city's water department are coordinators of this year's program. Speaking on KMA's "Morning Line" program Thursday morning, Gray says he and Dunkeson stepped up after the "chief shooter," Charlie Spencer, asked for help.
(Glenwood) -- A suspect faces charges in connection with a Mills County theft investigation. The Mills County Sheriff's Office says 58-year-old John Paul Scott of Council Bluffs was arrested early Tuesday evening for 2nd degree theft.

(Corning) -- POET Bioprocessing's Corning location has awarded several grants to local organizations to further community improvement. The company's "Never Satisfied" program distributed grants worth $1,000 each to six groups located in Corning, Prescott, Stanton, Red Oak, and Creston. The goal of the grants is to continue supporting organizations with the mission of helping make their respective communities safer and more vibrant. On the KMA "Morning Show," POET Corning's General Manager Scott Sawtelle says his team is proud to give back to the places that do so much for others.
(Shenandoah) -- Shenandoah now has a full-time fire chief. Meeting in regular session Tuesday evening, the Shenandoah City Council unanimously approved the rate and salary of Justin Marshall as full-time chief at $21.64 per hour. A department veteran for nearly 20 years, Marshall succeeded Ron Weston as the city's volunteer fire chief in January, 2020. Speaking on KMA's "Morning Line" program Wednesday morning, Shenandoah Mayor Roger McQueen says both the city and the fire department felt it was time for a full-time chief.
(Maryville) -- It's a bittersweet departure for Northwest Missouri State University President John Jasinski, who begins a new job this month. After a 13-year tenure as president and a career with Northwest that extends back to 1986, Jasinski began his new job as Interim Provost with Missouri State University today (Friday), replacing Missouri State University Provost Dr. Frank Einhellig, who retired June 30. Jasinski took the new job after the Northwest Missouri State Board of Regents voted not to renew his employment contract in April. The move came days after Jasinski released a letter suggesting he was expecting the decision. Jasinski guided the university to achieve record overall enrollment in both the spring and fall 2021 semesters and spearheaded the Forever Green campaign, which has raised over $55 million for the university. He talked about what might have contributed to the strong collaborative effort.

NEW YORK, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of CareDx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNA) between February 24, 2021 and May 5, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 22, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased CareDx securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the CareDx class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2700 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 22, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

Which wetsuit is best?
Many people wear wetsuits to stay warm and protected while snorkeling, fishing or even swimming laps in the pool. Selecting the right wetsuit can make the difference between hours of carefree aquatic fun and an outing cut short due to cold, sunburn or injury.
The Lemorecn Men’s Wetsuit is designed to accommodate any adventure seeker. Its attractive price, sturdy construction and additional features make it an excellent choice for a wide range of activities.
What to consider before you buy a wetsuit
Your activity level
From leisurely snorkeling to frantically paddling a surfboard through chop, what you plan on doing while in the water will determine what type of wetsuit is best for you. Think about the range of motion required to enjoy your favorite activities and consider what degree of body coverage you prefer.
Swimming conditions
Consider where and when you spend your time in the water to choose the thickness and type of your wetsuit. If you only swim in warm locations or climates, choose one that doesn’t insulate your entire body. Swimmers in colder regions, however, definitely should invest in a suit that features extensive coverage.
Think about the beaches you visit. A soft, sandy paradise likely won’t result in many accidental scrapes, but if you frequent rocky beaches, you should invest in a suit that will protect you from cuts in case you lose your balance or slip.
Common wetsuit types
- Full-body/fullsuit are the most common type. These suits provide coverage from your wrists to your ankles and are the preferred choice for everyone except those who only swim in warm or tropical water.
- Long John/Jane wetsuits cover your body with the exception of your arms and shoulders. These suits allow more arm flexibility than a full-body one, but still warm your core and legs.
- Short arm steamer/shorty suits cover your torso and end at your elbows and knees. This suit type is great for swimmers who want to maintain their core body temperature or protect most of their skin without feeling overly restricted.
- Wetsuit jackets protect your upper body only and have long sleeves. They usually have a zipper down the front.
Benefits to wearing a wetsuit
- Warmth. Wearing a wetsuit creates a thin layer of water between your skin and the suit that quickly warms to your body temperature. This insulation lets you swim comfortably in water that would be too cold to otherwise enjoy.
- More buoyancy. Your wetsuit’s neoprene material is naturally buoyant. This makes swimming and treading water easier.
- Skin protection. You can prevent your skin from scratches, jellyfish stings and sunburn by wearing a wetsuit.
- Increased speed. Some sport wetsuits have an exterior coating that repels water more effectively than other suit types. This reduction in drag makes it easier to swim faster.
What to look for in a quality wetsuit
Proper thickness
Wetsuits are generally available in five thicknesses ranging from half a millimeter to 5 millimeters. Thicker suits provide more insulation for longer swimming sessions. However, thicker material also reduces your range of motion.
Proper fit
Suits that are too loose can’t create a tight seal. This lets cold outside water flow against your skin. Suits that are too tight are also difficult to put on and take off, limit your flexibility and can rip under the stress of crouching or raising your arms over your head.
Each suit manufacturer has different sizes and measurements for its products, so try them on before buying whenever possible.
Seam construction
Stitched seams are appropriate for warm-water environments. If you plan to swim in cold water, purchase a wetsuit with sealed seams. Sealed seams have a layer of glue in addition to their stitching that prevents water from flowing through your suit.
Aesthetics and style
While you should prioritize your suit’s functionality and fit be sure to purchase one that you will enjoy wearing. Wetsuits are primarily black, but manufacturers provide aesthetic touches in the form of colored panels, stripes and logos.
Zipper
Many wetsuits include a zipper to make them easier to get in and out of. If you opt for a zippered suit, select one with strong stitching to prevent tearing.
Zippers are usually located on the suit’s back. They have long pull tabs to make them easy to reach without help. Suits with the zipper on the chest, however, are increasing in popularity.
How much you can expect to spend on a wetsuit
Wetsuit prices range greatly depending on material thickness, type and manufacturer. Inexpensive suits can be purchased for as little as $80. Premium ones from reputable companies can cost $500 or more.
Wetsuit FAQ
How do I clean my wetsuit?
A. After use, clean it with a quick rinse under fresh water. Let it fully dry before storage.
Can I wear a wetsuit in chlorinated water?
A. Yes, although exposure to chlorine will shorten its lifespan. After swimming in a pool, make sure you thoroughly rinse your suit with clean water to remove any chemicals.
Can I repair a ripped wetsuit?
A. Small tears can be fixed using a wetsuit repair kit. Rips longer than 3 inches require professional attention.

News Americas, WASHINGTON, D.C., Fri. July 1, 2022: Caribbean immigrant, Dr. Sandra Lindsay, is among one of 17 Americans named by President Joe Biden to presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom next week.
The Jamaican born critical care nurse in New York, was the first American to receive a COVID-19 vaccine outside of clinical trials and is a prominent advocate for vaccines and mental health for health care workers.
Dr. Lindsay will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Nation’s highest civilian honor presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public, or private endeavors, at the White House on July 7, 2022.
In making the announcement, President Biden said that America can be defined by one word: possibilities. “These seventeen Americans demonstrate the power of possibilities and embody the soul of the nation – hard work, perseverance, and faith,” he said.
“They have overcome significant obstacles to achieve impressive accomplishments in the arts and sciences, dedicated their lives to advocating for the most vulnerable among us, and acted with bravery to drive change in their communities – and across the world – while blazing trails for generations to come,” the President added.
Reacting to the announcement from the White House, Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States, Audrey Marks, who has been invited to the ceremony, congratulated Dr. Lindsay on behalf of the Government and people of Jamaica as a member of the Diaspora who continues to make Jamaica proud.
She pointed out that the Medal of Freedom was a most prestigious award, and being chosen to receive it was an indication of her outstanding contribution to her adopted homeland, and the critical role she played in motivating Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine in the battle against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
To be numbered among the other individuals who will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, was no mean feat, and is an indication of the high esteem with which she has been held by the Biden-Harris administration, the ambassador added.
Among the other recipients are:
Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast in history.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate, serving first in Arizona legislature and a survivor of gun violence, who co-founded Giffords, a nonprofit organization dedicated to gun violence prevention.
Fred Gray, one of the first black members of the Alabama State legislature since Reconstruction who represented Rosa Parks, the NAACP, and who Martin Luther King called “the chief counsel for the protest movement.”
Steve Jobs (posthumous), the co-founder, chief executive, and chair of Apple, Inc., CEO of Pixar and a former lead investor at the Walt Disney Company.
John McCain (posthumous), who served the people of Arizona for decades in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate and the Republican nominee for president in 2008; and
Denzel Washington – actor, director, and producer who has won two Academy Awards, a Tony Award, two Golden Globes, and the 2016 Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. | https://guyanainquirer.com/caribbean-immigrant-named-among-presidential-medal-of-freedom-recipients/ | 2022-07-01T22:25:14Z | https://guyanainquirer.com/caribbean-immigrant-named-among-presidential-medal-of-freedom-recipients/ | true | 11 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will present the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to 17 people, including actor Denzel Washington, gymnast Simone Biles and the late John McCain, the Arizona Republican with whom Biden served in the U.S. Senate.
Biden will also recognize Sandra Lindsay, the New York City nurse who rolled up her sleeve on live television in December 2020 to receive the first COVID-19 vaccine dose that was pumped into an arm in the United States, the White House announced Friday.
Biden’s honors list, which the White House shared first with The Associated Press, includes both living and deceased honorees from the worlds of Hollywood, sports, politics, the military, academia, and civil rights and social justice advocacy.
The Democratic president will present the medals at the White House next week.
Biden himself is a medal recipient. President Barack Obama honored Biden’s public service as a longtime U.S. senator and vice president by awarding him a Presidential Medal of Freedom in January 2017, a week before they left office.
The honorees who’ll receive medals from Biden “have overcome significant obstacles to achieve impressive accomplishments in the arts and sciences, dedicated their lives to advocating for the most vulnerable among us, and acted with bravery to drive change in their communities, and across the world, while blazing trails for generations to come,” the White House said.
The honor is reserved for people who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values or security of the United States, world peace or other significant societal public or private endeavors, the White House said.
Biles is the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history, winning 32 Olympic and World Championship medals. She is an outspoken advocate on issues that are very personal to her, including athletes’ mental health, children in foster care and sexual assault victims.
Lindsay became an advocate for COVID-19 vaccinations after receiving the first dose in the U.S.
McCain, who died of brain cancer in 2018, spent more than five years in captivity in Vietnam while serving in the U.S. Navy. He later represented Arizona in both houses of Congress and was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008. Biden said McCain was a “dear friend” and “a hero.”
Washington is a double Oscar-winning actor, director and producer. He also has a Tony award, two Golden Globes and the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a longtime spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The other 13 medal recipients are:
— Sister Simone Campbell. Campbell is a member of the Sister of Social Service and a former executive director of NETWORK, a Catholic social justice organization. She is an advocate for economic justice, overhauling the U.S. immigration system and health care policy.
— Julieta Garcia. A former president of the University of Texas at Brownsville, Garcia was the first Latina to become a college president, the White House said. She was named one of the nation’s best college presidents by Time magazine.
— Gabrielle Giffords. A former U.S. House member from Arizona, the Democrat founded Giffords, an organization dedicated to ending gun violence. She was shot in the head in January 2011 during a constituent event in Tucson and was gravely wounded.

— Steve Jobs. Jobs was the co-founder, chief executive and chair of Apple Inc. He died in 2011.
— Father Alexander Karloutsos. Karloutsos is the assistant to Archbishop Demetrios of America. The White House said Karloutsos has counseled several U.S. presidents.
— Khizr Khan. An immigrant from Pakistan, Khan’s Army officer son was killed in Iraq. Khan gained national prominence, and became a target of Donald Trump’s wrath, after speaking at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
— Diane Nash. A founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Nash organized some of the most important 20th century civil rights campaigns and worked with King.
— Megan Rapinoe. The Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women’s World Cup soccer champion captains the OL Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League. She is a prominent advocate for gender pay equality, racial justice and LGBTQI+ rights who has appeared at Biden’s White House.
Rapinoe, who was at training camp in Denver when the White House called to inform her of the honor, thought she was getting a prank or robocall when she saw her phone say “White House,” U.S. Soccer said in a statement. She showed her phone to a teammate, who encouraged her to answer the call.
— Alan Simpson. The retired U.S. senator from Wyoming served with Biden and has been a prominent advocate for campaign finance reform, responsible governance and marriage equality.
— Richard Trumka. Trumka had been president of the 12.5 million-member AFL-CIO for more than a decade at the time of his August 2021 death. He was a past president of the United Mine Workers.
— Wilma Vaught. A brigadier general, Vaught is one of the most decorated women in U.S. military history, breaking gender barriers as she has risen through the ranks. When Vaught retired in 1985, she was one of only seven female generals in the Armed Forces.

Post Doctoral Onderwijspositions 2 / 846 Postacademische job 28 februari 2OO7\nSolar Carpology for Phytorhaphenotechnische Oosterhoff Wagenwage The suspected driver of a tractor-trailer packed with dozens of migrants who died this week was unaware that the trailer's air conditioning had failed, according to court documents. More than 50 people died after being trapped in the sweltering trailer that was discovered Monday in San Antonio.
Christian Martinez, one of the men arrested in the case, allegedly texted the suspected driver on Monday with a manifest for the truck, and a location in Laredo, Texas.
Martinez allegedly told a government informant that the suspected driver, Homero Zamorano Jr., was "unaware the air conditioning unit stopped working," according to the complaint against him filed in Texas federal court.
In a sworn affidavit, Homeland Security Investigations special agent Nestor Canales describes a series of text messages between Zamorano and Martinez beginning around noon on Monday.
"I go to the same spot," Zamorano allegedly texted Martinez. About half an hour later, Martinez responded with a GPS location in Laredo, Texas, according to the complaint.
Martinez allegedly sent several more text messages to Zamorano that afternoon, saying, "Call me bro" and "Wya bro," believed to be an abbreviation for, "Where you at?"
Prosecutors say police later found Zamorano hiding in brush near the abandoned 18-wheeler on the outskirts of San Antonio.
Zamorano, 45, appeared in federal court in San Antonio on Thursday. He is charged with one count of alien smuggling resulting in death. Martinez, 28, is charged with one count of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens resulting in death.
If convicted, both men face up to life in prison or the death penalty.
In addition to Zamorano and Martinez, two other men have been charged in connection with the incident. Prosecutors say the registration for the tractor-trailer led police to an address in San Antonio. They later arrested two men identified as Juan Claudio D'Luna-Mendez and Juan Francisco D'Luna-Bilbao. Prosecutors say both men were in the U.S. illegally, and are now charged with weapons violations.
Fifty-three migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador died after being trapped in the trailer, making it one of the deadliest human smuggling tragedies on U.S. soil.

Gianni Infantino, FIFA's president, mentioned at the Vision 2020-2023 event that every possible opportunity would be taken to improve soccer with technology, such as Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The improvement in this area for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has already been announced: the Semi-automated offside technology.
For many years, the debate centered on why soccer did not use technology to make the game fairer. Popular sports such as football have benefited from the implementation of systems to support refereeing decisions. At the Russia 2018 World Cup, this prayer was fulfilled with the implementation of VAR, which although it broke the fluidity of the game, it helped to deliver justice in a better way.
So for Qatar 2022, it was decided to continue this trend of supporting refereeing decisions not being a reason to create controversy: the vision of a human is limited and subjective; technology is usually lapidary and impartial. Find out what FIFA's use of Semi-automated offside technology will bring to the game.
What is the Video Assistan Referee (VAR)?
Developed at the beginning of the second decade of the 2000s and tested for the first time in July 2016, the Video Assistant Referee marked a before and after in the history of soccer and thus of the FIFA World Cups. Its premise is simple: to support the referee in making decisions when judging a play. Because of his position and the ever-increasing speed of the game, it is practically impossible for the referee to have a full view of what is happening on the pitch.
Thus, the VAR offers assistance to the referee with a group of colleagues who watch the plays from various angles taken by cameras around the field. Through remote communication, the referee is alerted of the possible complexity of the play so that he can go to the review center (a screen between the substitutes' benches) and see what happened from different angles so that he can make the fairest decision possible.
What is the Semi-automated offside technology that will be used in Qatar 2022?
For the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the greatest deployment of technology will be used to ensure fairer refereeing decisions in soccer. On many occasions, the marking of offsides has been the cause of gigantic controversies, since due to the dynamics of the game and the human limitations of sharpness of vision and reaction, there have been erroneous decisions that have affected results.
This is where the Semi-automated offside technology comes in to strengthen the VAR, so that the latter can better support the referee. This system implements a double monitoring: to the ball and to the players. In the case of the ball that will be used in Qatar 2022, the Al-Rihla, it will contain a sensor that will emit a signal 500 times per second, received by the VAR's video center, which will allow to know the exact moment the ball was kicked. This is one of the aspects that determines whether there was an offside or not.
On the other hand, thanks to 12 cameras installed under the roof of the stadium, it will be possible to capture the movements of both the ball and the players themselves. Another signal will also be transmitted 50 times per second to the video center, which will make it possible to know their exact location. For each monitored player, it will be possible to have up to 29 data on the position of his trunk and extremities, thus reducing to a minimum the uncertainty as to whether or not they were in an offside.
The central referee will receive the warning via remote communication in order to make the best decision on the matter. It is worth mentioning that the shots of the players involved in the analyzed play will be reproduced in a 3D model that will be shown on the giant screens of the stadiums and in the transmissions of the matches so that everyone is aware of the reason for the referee's decisions.
Prior to its implementation at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, semi-automated offside technology was tested during the 2021 Arab Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021: "FIFA is committed to harnessing technology to improve the game of soccer at all levels, and the use of semi-automated offside technology at the 2022 FIFA World Cup is the clearest possible proof." said FIFA president Gianni Infantino, according to his official website. | https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-fairest-world-cup-in-history-tech-to-be-used-by-fifa-to-boost-var-when-marking-offsides-20220701-0020.html | 2022-07-01T22:33:27Z | https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-fairest-world-cup-in-history-tech-to-be-used-by-fifa-to-boost-var-when-marking-offsides-20220701-0020.html | true | 1 |
Safety measures from first responders to prevent leaving child or pets in hot car
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - With the hottest months of the year upon us, first responders are reminding people to double-check their back seats before leaving their cars unattended.
According to the group Kids and Car Safety, there have been at least eight heat-related car deaths this year. On average there are 38.
Harrisonburg Fire Department said even on what seems like the most beautiful days cars can get hotter than the temperature outside.
”What people fail to realize, I think, is on a day that seems to be like the most beautiful day ever, temperatures can rise very quickly. So on your typical 70-degree day in 10 minutes, the inside of a car can go up to 90 degrees,” Lt. Erin Stehle of the Harrisonburg Fire Department said.
HFD said people are constantly on the go and it’s easy to be forgetful.
“It is so easy for all of us that are going constantly throughout the day to make a mistake,” Lt. Stehle said. “Things happen, routines change.”
However, HFD says there are some preventative measures you can take to keep your child and pets safe.
”What we tell people is set reminders. Most people at this point have a type of smartphone, set reminders on your phone,” Lt. Stehle said.
On top of reminders, you can place things that you always take with you in the backseat.
“Put things in the back that you always go into work with or always go into the gym with,” Lt. Stehle said. “If that’s your phone if it’s a coffee cup if it’s a purse, a duffle bag, whatever it is make sure that you have that in the backseat that serves as a reminder that your child is always back there.”
HFD says most cases happen when an infant is sleeping.
“If a kid falls asleep you’re not gonna know that they’re back there,” Lt. Stehle said. “The same thing with pets, even if people crack the windows, that is still not enough.”
HFD says if you notice a child or pet unattended call 911 immediately because they have the best equipment and tools to help the situation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a warning regarding neck floats for babies. The FDA states that parents, caregivers and health care providers should not use neck floats for water therapy interventions, especially with babies with developmental delays or special needs, such as spina bifida, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1, Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.
The warning comes following the reported death of one baby and hospitalization of another related to the use of baby neck floats. The FDA states that caregivers were not directly monitoring the babies when they were injured in both instances.
What Are Neck Floats?
Neck floats are inflatable plastic rings designed to be worn around an infant’s neck. Babies as young as two weeks old and even premature newborns can float freely in the water with specially designed neck floats that cradle a baby’s head.
Some parents and caregivers use neck floats while bathing babies, in swimming pools or as a tool for water therapy intervention for infants with developmental delays or disabilities.
Are Baby Neck Floats Being Recalled?
Currently, there are no government-issued recalls in effect for baby neck floats. However, the FDA wants parents and other caregivers to understand the potential hazards of using them, particularly for babies with special needs.
“The risks of using baby neck floats include death due to drowning and suffocation, strain, and injury to a baby’s neck. Babies with special needs such as spina bifida or SMA Type 1 may be at an increased risk for serious injury,” the FDA wrote in a safety communication about the product. “While the FDA believes that death or serious injury from neck floats is rare, health care providers, parents, and caregivers should be aware that these events can and do occur. It is also possible that some cases have not been reported to the FDA.”
The administration’s recommendations for parents and other caregivers regarding baby neck floats include the following.
- Don’t use baby neck floats for water therapy intervention.
- Be aware that neck floats can increase the risk of neck strain and injury, particularly for babies with special needs.
- Be aware that the FDA has not evaluated neck floats and is unaware of any benefit to using them in water therapy.
Of course, adults should always supervise children around water to prevent drownings, whether or not they use floatation devices.
“They should never replace adult supervision, which should be close, constant and capable,” Dr. Sarah Denny, an associate clinical professor at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, told Motherly.
Anyone aware of a baby injured by a neck float should report it to the FDA to help identify associated risks. You can use the online voluntary reporting form to do so.
