Which Samsung smart TVs are best?
Samsung is a reliable and quality brand if you are looking for a smart TV to add to your home. Depending on the model, they come with many different features (some of which are better than others); however, additional features usually mean a higher price tag.
The top choice for a Samsung smart TV that gives a large audience a 4K view is the Samsung Neo QLED QN85A Series 4K. Consider it if you want a high-quality display for your home theater.
What to know before you buy a Samsung smart TV
Where the TV will be mounted
The space of the room you have in mind and personal preference determines the size of the screen you may want. Consider other decor and how the TV fits in the overall environment. Samsung has a line of Frame series TVs designed to be low profile and blend in as if they were framed pieces of artwork on your wall.
Resolution
The newest resolution is 8K, so there is not much native 8K resolution content out there yet. There is plenty of 4K Ultra HD content and Full HD, though. Depending on what you plan to view on the screen, you may not need the highest resolution available. For more Samsung TV options with different resolutions, look at the BestReviews buying guide.
Smart TV apps
Older smart TVs may not have access to all the newest streaming services and applications, while newer models have access out of the box. If you use newer apps such as those from HBO or Disney, you may prefer a newer Samsung model.
What to look for in a quality Samsung smart TV
Display
Beyond screen-resolution classes, smart TVs do not always display light the same way. Crystal processors for 4K optimize color and details. Samsung’s high-quality QLED models have brighter colors and contrast than OLED. The best options are the Neo QLED TVs, which use faster AI processors to optimize visuals.
Sound
If you are setting up a home theater or already have one, your sound system may be separate from the screen. Some Samsung smart TVs are designed to work well with 3D sound setups, and they usually have good quality sound on their own. Newer smart TVs have object-tracking sound to provide an immersive experience, but if you want the best possible sound, invest in speakers beyond those built into the TV.
Additional features
Samsung’s smart TVs give users access to many apps and quality-of-life conveniences but there are more features to consider. The Frame series blends in and displays a piece of artwork on the screen when you are not using it. Serif models are freestanding, very thin and do not need to be near a wall. Some smart TVs are optimized for screencasting from a mobile device, if that is an important feature for you.
How much you can expect to spend on a Samsung smart TV
Pricing varies based on the size and resolution of the screen. Full HD screens cost less than $1,000 and 4K TVs are about $1,000-$3,000 depending on the size and model. New 8K TVs and the like run more than $3,000 and sometimes, they stretch beyond a $10,000 price tag.
Samsung smart TV FAQ
Do the apps and smart features of a smart TV come with additional costs?
A. That depends on which applications you use. Many popular streaming services, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, have paid subscriptions, but you can use all the apps on the smart TV without paying anything as long as you have access to the content. If you could access an app through your computer or other current devices, the smart TV can do the same thing.
Do you need a smart TV to watch streaming services?
A. You can use older TVs or screens that do not have built-in smart functions for viewing your favorite streaming platforms. Devices such as Roku TV, Fire TV and others plug into any TV display. Gaming consoles and computers also can display content on a TV that does not have smart functions. A smart TV has the benefit of convenience, especially when it provides a high-quality experience.

Stories based on real events are among the most watched content. Scandal series are the most searched on Star+.
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes
Based on political, police, financial and scientific events, the productions feature big names like Renée Zellweger and Amanda Seyfried. But, have you ever wondered what series about scandals mean, and what is the point of them?
Curiosity is part of being human. This is certainly one of the reasons why people are so interested in stories based on real events. Although fictions, productions that involve prominent characters in society or even institutions gain gigantic proportions. So, if you’re part of the group that enjoys a real-life scandal, you’ve got what it takes to enjoy the five Star+ series we’ve selected.
5 Series about scandals on Star+
1. American Crime Story
The second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series examines the murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez). The crime happened in 1997, Versace was killed in front of his mansion in Miami Beach, by serial killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss).
The nine episodes chronicle each step of the crime preparation and criminal investigation that includes a nationwide hunt for Cunanan. The cast also includes Penélope Cruz as Donatella Versace and Ricky Martin as Antonio D’Amico, the designer’s longtime boyfriend.
The third season is inspired by the scandal that culminated in the first impeachment process in US history. In addition, it is also an adaptation of the book A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President, by Jeffrey Toobin.
two. American Crime Story: Impeachment
The narrative takes place through the eyes of the women who were at the center of the events: Monica Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein), Linda Tripp (Sarah Paulson) and Paula Jones (Annaleigh Ashford). Both were exposed to their lives during a time of much political dispute, changes in sexual politics and the media landscape. The cast also includes Margo Martindale (Lucianne Goldberg), Edie Falco (Hilary Clinton) and Clive Owen (Bill Clinton).
3. Wanted: America’s Greatest Fugitive
On a sunny day in November 1998, a Brooklyn computer salesman was supposed to report to prison to begin serving a 17-year sentence. He rented a Ford Taurus, drove to Queens to deliver the anklet he was wearing, withdrew $600 and headed for JFK Airport. However, he disappeared.
John Ruffo used fake corporate documents and seals and convinced banks to lend him $350 million. So he came up with a proposal he called Project Star and used the money to bet millions on the stock market. So much so that he became one of Wall Street’s high rollers. As soon as he found out, the FBI set a trap.
However, the promoters made a big mistake. Soon after receiving the sentence they agreed to let Ruffo drive himself to the prison. Thus began one of the longest and most challenging searches in the history of the US Delegates Service.
4. The Thing About Pam
Starring and produced by Renée Zellweger, the miniseries is based on the murder of housewife Betsy Faria. In 2011, she was found dead at home by her husband, Russ who was charged and arrested. However, her arrest led to a chain of events that exposed Betsy’s best friend Pam Hupp’s (Renée Zellweger) plan.
5. The Dropout
The miniseries tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried), who in 2003, at age 19, founded the startup Theranos. The idea came after Holmes hypothesized that with just one drop of blood it was possible to detect various diseases. Thus, Edison machines were born. The device would be responsible for analyzing the blood.
In 2014, the company already employed 800 people and was valued at US$ 9 billion (R$ 49.4 billion). But in 2015, John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, raised the first suspicions about the company’s reliability. Then, a report by John Carreyrou published in The Wall Street Journal denounced that the machines were not as effective, among other accusations.

Which office outlet extender is best?
Outlets in an office space rarely have enough spots to plug in every device you need to use daily. Computers, monitors, printers, scanners, copiers and more are common, requiring consistent power for maximized productivity. Whether used in a traditional office setting or a home office, outlet extenders can make it easier to power all of the most critical devices.
If you are looking for an extender and power strip with smart device capabilities, the top choice is the Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300. It has multiple outlets and USB ports that can all be controlled individually, unlike most strips that have only on and off states.
What to know before you buy an office outlet extender
What kind of extender do you need?
Some extender cables help connect you to an outlet that is too far away. Some power strips moderately extend the range of your outlet, in addition to expanding the number of devices that you can plug into that power source. These will often have surge-protection features, which can help ensure the electrical safety of an office or home office.
How many outlets do you need?
Sometimes the distance to the outlet is the primary issue, and you need an extension cord with reach. Other times, you will need a power strip for many devices to use a single outlet. Depending on your office setup, consider how many outlets you will need to use before buying an extender. Power strips generally have between four and a dozen outlets. It varies greatly, and you do not need a longer power strip on the end of your outlet extension cord than needed.
Is the outlet behind a desk?
If your outlet is in an awkward spot, you may need an extender adapter so that you can plug in other cables at different angles. Combining an adapter plugged into the outlet with a power strip to set up all the necessary electronics can be a convenient solution to that problem.
What to look for in a quality office outlet extender
Safety
The best outlet extension cables and devices have surge protection to protect all the plugged electronics. Surge protection is critical because it can prevent damage to property from power surges or any electrical supply issues. Worst case scenario, you may need to replace an outlet extender device, but that is preferable to replacing all the office equipment plugged into one.
Length
There is no optimal length and reach of an extension cord or power strip because it depends on the office space layout. Some outlets are too far away from where they need to be for them to be useful, but some do not need a long extension cable taking up unnecessary space. Measure the length you need before you buy any devices for your office space.
Ports
The number and type of ports are important. Note if your devices require two or three-pronged outlets. Also, consider if devices need to be plugged directly into a USB port to charge. There are lots of outlet extender products that have dedicated USB ports. The best number of ports is the number you need plus one or two extra, if you need to temporarily plug in another device or charge a mobile phone with the outlet.
How much you can expect to spend on an office outlet extender
You can find simple extenders and power for less than $30. If you need a particularly long extender cable or additional features, it could cost $30-$50 for indoor outlet extension gear.
Office outlet extender FAQ
Do outlet extenders need smart technology?
A. Tons of outlet extension cables and devices that do not use smart technology at all. Unless you want the extra quality of life features or there is a specific reason you need an extender to be a smart device, it is not needed. You can save money by opting for a simple electrical extension cord or a power strip that fits in your office space.
How many devices can you plug into one power strip?
A. It depends on the energy required to power your devices, not just the number of outlets available. For your safety, be careful to avoid plugging in too many devices into one outlet. Check how much power an outlet can safely provide before adding more devices to the same power source. Depending on the outlet, you may be able to plug in all of your devices without the need to spread them out across more than one electrical outlet.

What you need to know: This outlet extender cable with a six-foot cord is especially sturdy and difficult to damage.
What you’ll love: The cord is braided and durable. It has three power outlets and two dedicated USB ports that support fast charging for tablets and smartphones. Because each outlet is on a different side of the sturdy cube, bulky or unusually shaped plugs are not an issue. The part that plugs into the outlet is low-profile and can fit if an outlet is hidden behind a desk or cabinet.
What you should consider: There are not that many outlets, so if you need to plug in a large number of devices to your outlet extender, you may need a power strip instead.

Stephen Kenny wouldn’t mind if his assistants came in threes – but now he’s seeking a fourth following the appointment of John Eustace as Birmingham City boss.
Eustace (42) takes on his first permanent role as a league manager after the Championship club moved within 24 hours to source a replacement for the sacked Lee Bowyer.
Birmingham finished 20th last season and 18th the previous campaign, underlining the task facing the new manager for the new season kicking off in 27 days’ time. His employers, be it Birmingham City Holdings or prospective owner Laurence Bassini, are highly unlikely to accept their new boss being distracted by dividing his time.
It is unprecedented for a manager in the top two English divisions to job-share duties with international commitments. Stoke City allowed new recruit from Northern Ireland, Michael O’Neill, to see out the Euro 2020 qualification campaign but it entailed only two matches.
Eustace was part of Ireland's backroom team, alongside Kenny and Keith Andrews, for only six games – the pair of March friendlies and the Nations League quadruple-header in June.
He became the third No 3 following the departures of Damien Duff and Anthony Barry over the previous 15 months.
Duff quit in the same week as goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly without specifying his reasons while his successor, Chelsea backroom team member Barry, was lured to World Cup bound Belgium.
The FAI have thanked Eustace for his time as Ireland assistant in a post on social media.

— FAIreland ⚽️🇮🇪 (@FAIreland) July 3, 2022
Ireland complete their Nations League campaign in late September by travelling to Scotland and hosting Armenia. No internationals window is scheduled in October due to the timing of the World Cup, with a couple of friendlies pencilled in for the November space ahead of the tournament.
Eustace was recently relieved of his duties at QPR after four years when new manager Michael Beale opted to enlist his own staff.
Eustace, who rejected the Swansea City vacancy last year, outlined his ambitions to Birmingham’s official website: “I am very proud to be here. Obviously I am a Birmingham lad and I know the potential of the club and how important it is to the fans.
“We have underachieved in the past few seasons and a club of this size, with the support that this club has, we need to be aiming higher.
“I can’t wait to get going, meet the staff and get my ideas across to the players out on the pitches as soon as we can.
“The big picture is to get us as competitive as we can, to build a team that the fans are proud of, to play exciting football and win as many games as we can.
“The first thing we have to do is get this squad competitive and ready for that first game of the season against Luton.” | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40909925.html | 2022-07-03T22:19:02Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40909925.html | false | 1 |

‘America the Beautiful’ continues to evolve as nation celebrates
As thunder rumbled Friday evening hours before the sun set, the Fourth of July weekend sparked the beginning of a beloved holiday celebration for all Americans to enjoy. And while every nation contains flaws, tragedies, injustices and losses — including unfathomable measures here at home from the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the near-total extinction of Native Americans — there is hope. Where there is life, there is hope. And on that note, 246 years ago, 56 individuals signed their names declaring liberty from tyranny.
NEWS
Faith endures and triumphs. As America celebrates Independence Day this weekend, the anniversary of the nation’s official establishment remains a moment to reflect. “Everything was about heaven,” Linda Townsend said during a private event held at the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford on June 18, the eve of Juneteenth, a federal holiday established last year to remember and recognize the emancipation of African Americans from slavery.
Pottstown cites High Street churches for feeding the needy
Two High Street churches that provide free meals, essentials and services to those in need have been cited by the borough for violating the zoning code’s definition of “church” by undertaking those activities. Oddly, although other churches in town provide many of the same services, none have reported receiving a violation notice from the borough’s licensing and inspections office. Both Borough Manager Justin Keller and Codes and Enforcement Director Keith Place were on vacation and have not responded to Mercury queries about the rationale for the action, and why these two churches have been singled out.
Person dies in Jenkintown two-alarm fire

Several firefighters were treated for heat-related issues, and two were taken to hospitals, one with heat exhaustion and another with a possible heart attack, according to the release from Police Chief Thomas Scott and Fire Chief Ken Lynch. According to police, police and the fire department received multiple calls shortly after 7:30 p.m. July 1 reporting a possible fire at 219 Summit Ave.

Well before a pitch clocked at 97 pulverized Bryce Harper’s left thumb, the Phillies already were cracked, broken and on a fast track to nowhere. By then, neither an operation, a splint, therapy or rest was going to help reverse what already had been established. Nor would some panicky trade that would sting the farm system. That was obvious weeks ago, as it has been in a telling homestand where the Phillies continue to lose their way in even the cheapest of wildcard races. Proving Saturday that they are just as capable of presenting ridiculous pitching early in games as they had been late, it was Kyle Gibson’s turn to show they don’t have enough arms to win anything.
Union’s Craig, Aaronson create Olympic moment in CONCACAF U-20 semifinal
Brandan Craig stood over the free kick Friday at what had the potential to be critical moment, in a game and in so much more. Here the United States Under-20 squad stood, in San Pedro Sula. A win over Honduras would send the U.S. to the Olympics for the first time since 2008, ending a long-running embarrassment to the youth program. Already, the group had hit its first objective, making the semifinals to qualify for the U-20 World Cup in 2023.

This Fourth of July weekend, Americans can celebrate revolutionary ‘gatecrashers’
Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art is open this holiday weekend and visitors can experience a special exhibit honoring American artists who made history by creating great works — their own way — and without permission. ‘Gatecrashers: The Rise of the Self-Taught Artist in America’ is open now through Sept. 5. The exhibition highlights artwork created by artists without formal training who ultimately “crashed the gates” of American society and redefined a landscape of sophisticated museums with vibrant, and sometimes sorrowful, new trends after World War I. | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/07/03/morning-briefing-4th-celebrations-needy-phillies/ | 2022-07-03T22:37:34Z | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/07/03/morning-briefing-4th-celebrations-needy-phillies/ | true | 5 |
**Warning: The police body cam footage seen above is disturbing.**
AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — Akron city officials on Sunday released more details in the police shooting of Jayland Walker, a Black man they say was unarmed when officers shot and killed him after a chase.
Walker, 25, was shot by police just after midnight on Monday. During a press conference Sunday, the police department released two videos.
Police said Walker fired a shot from his vehicle during a pursuit. The first video in the press conference showed a possible muzzle flash of light at the same time as officers reportedly heard a shot coming from the vehicle.
Walker, who was reportedly wearing a ski mask at the time, then got out of his car from the passenger’s side while it was still running and fled from the officers.
Chief Steve Mylett admitted that in watching the police body cam shooting video, it is hard to determine what led officers to fire their weapons. He said in still photos of the footage, it appears Walker was reaching down to his waist.
“Each officer independent of each other related that they felt that Mr. Walker had turned and was motioning and moving into a firing position,” Chief Mylett said.
The medical examiner had originally said he had “multiple gunshot wounds,” but Mylett said the medical examiner has confirmed more than 60 wounds on Walker’s body. More investigation will be needed to determine exactly how many rounds the eight officers fired and how many times Walker was hit. Officers provided aid, and one can be heard saying he still had a pulse, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, Mylett said.
A gun and bullet casing were later found in the vehicle, police said.
“I know this is a somber occasion for the city,” Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan told reporters, emphasizing that everyone in the community be patient as the investigation continues and urged for peace in the city.
The shooting is being investigated independently by agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
In a statement, the Fraternal Order of Police in Akron described the shooting as being “consistent with the use of force protocols and officers’ training.”
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost released a statement Sunday following the press conference:
“People want and deserve answers, and they shall have them. BCI will conduct a complete, fair and expert investigation,” Yost said. “Body-worn camera footage is just one view of the whole picture – before drawing conclusions, the full review must take place.”
Walker’s family, who did not speak to the media Sunday, has continued to ask for calm and peace as more is learned about the incident.
“We want peace. This family has had enough violence. We want dignity, we want to celebrate the life of this young man in a way that brings dignity to him and to the city and we want justice, which means a fair process, reviewing all the facts and let that process play out. We do not want violence of any kind,” the family’s Attorney Bobby DiCello said earlier this week.
DiCello continued those sentiments Sunday, speaking to media following the press conference as well. He said the shooting did not seem to be warranted.
**See more body cam footage below. Warning: Graphic.**
Walker was grieving the recent death of his fiancee, but his family had no indication of concern beyond that, DiCello said.
“He was sad, but he was getting through it,” DiCello said. He said he doesn’t know whether the ring found near the gun belonged to Walker.
Protests were planned throughout the weekend.

Consumers spending more ahead of July 4th holiday weekend
TUPELO • Like many Americans this Independence Day weekend, Kelsey Scott plans to be outside with family and friends.
"I plan to do a lot of grilling, ribs, chicken, a couple sides — things like that," he said.
Scott was doing a little midweek shopping at Palmer's Shoppers Value Foods but planned on coming back before the weekend.
But as Scott and millions of consumers have or will discover, it's going to cost more this year to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Personal finance website Wallet Hub in a survey said 84% of Americans plan to celebrate the 4th of July this year, with spending totaling $7.7 billion — with $1.4 billion on beer and wine.
However, the survey also found that 57% said inflation would affect their holiday plans, and 66% said they planned to spend less compared to last year.
Jason Palmer, co-owner of Palmer's Shoppers Value Foods, said so far consumers don't seem to be cutting back much of their purchases at the store.
"To be honest, I think everybody just knows it's just the way it is, and they're used to it now," he said. "I've had one or two complaints, but most people know it's just the world we're living in now."
Palmer said the store's shelves are mostly full, although there are still some products that are difficult to get. Still, he said consumers will find the essentials they'll need for their weekend barbecue and beyond.
The American Farm Bureau Federation said food prices overall have increased by more than a third this year, as the Consumer Price Index, a key gauge of inflation, accelerated by 8.6%, the fastest pace in over 40 years.
Ground beef has skyrocketed 36% from a year ago, while prices for boneless, skinless chicken breast, pork chops, and pork and beans jumped more than 30%.
A Wells Fargo survey showed hot dogs cost 12% more this year, while hamburger and hot dog buns have risen 10%. And according to Wallet Hub, Americans will be scarfing down about 150 million hot dogs.
Additionally beer is up 25%.
But there was some price drops — potato chips are 4% less, cheese is 13% lower, strawberries are 16% less.
Still, consumers who are grilling out for the weekend can expect to spend roughly 17% more on food overall.
Shoppers also will find smaller packages of some of their favorite items, even as prices rise. The phenomenon, deemed "shrinkflation," is nothing new but seems to have picked up momentum. With everything from sports drinks to cereal, orange juice to ice cream, chicken wings to toilet paper, Americans are paying more for less.
As the Wallet Hub study indicated, Ashley Henderson of New Albany is adjusting her plans a little this year. Usually, the Hendersons head to the beach for July 4th, but this year they're staying a little closer to home.
"We’re going to the lake this year and, while those plans are the same as usual, we will definitely spend more on fuel with the higher gas prices," she said. "We have chosen not to do a beach trip this year because of the higher prices in general. But we’ll pack lots of snacks and have fun in the sun either way."
But for Scott, he's not changing much, if anything of what he plans to do.
"This is about the family — you can't put a price on that," he said. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652527216508/consumers-spending-more-ahead-of-july-4th-holiday-weekend | 2022-07-03T22:42:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652527216508/consumers-spending-more-ahead-of-july-4th-holiday-weekend | false | 3 |
Nice day for a WAG wedding! Spanish footballer Dani Carvajal is joined by his Real Madrid teammates as he ties the knot with model Daphne Cañizares in a black tie ceremony
Spanish footballer Dani Carvajal was joined by his Real Madrid teammates as he tied the knot with girlfriend Daphne Cañizares at a stunning rustic venue over the weekend.
Dani, 30, and Daphne, who share a son, exchanged vows in front of 250 of their closest friends and family on June 24, after their original plans were delayed due to Covid.
While they picked the rustic backdrop of a former Franciscan convent in Ayllón, Segovia, there was nothing rustic about their reception, which saw them being serenated by a singer on a stage adorned with fairylights.
Among the lucky celebs who made the guest list were Dani's Real Madrid teammates Thibault Courtois and Marco Asencio, who were accompanied by glamorous dates in glitzy evening gowns.
The bride, who is a model and a wedding planner, wowed everyone with her minimalist dress from Spanish designer Alejandro de Miguel.
It reportedly took thirty meters of silk to make the bespoke tailored bodice with a minimalist cut and princess skirt.
Daphne has a special relationship with the designer and is the face of his 2023 model collection.
Her blonde locks were styled into a neat bun and pinned under a veil for church.
The groom looked stylish for his big day in a pin-striped navy suit with a cream vest.
The party was a glamourous affair, with a plethora of stars spotting make their way to the farmhouse.
Marco Asencio was accompanied by his glamourous girlfriend Sandra Garal, who looked like a goddess in an asymmetrical blue dress that hugged her every curve.
Meanwhile, the Belgian import Thibaut Courtois was seen walking up to the church with his fiancée Mishel Gerzig, who opted for a glitzy green gown.
The pair just got engaged in Crete earlier this month right after Real Madrid won the Champion's League.
Other guests included Lucas Vázquez and his girlfriend Macarena Rodríguez as well as athletes, influencers and models.
Two generations of football legends came together at the wedding as the retired player Emilio Butragueño was also invited to Dani and Daphne's nuptials.
As the group moved to the farmhouse following the ceremony, Daphne let her hair down for the reception.
The bride changed into a form-fitting glitzy number by Alejandro de Miguel for the reception so she could dance the night away with her beau.
Hola! reported that the couple treated their guests to a gluten-free banquet before the celebrations took a more festive turn.
They opened the dance floor with a slow song before their guests joined in and danced to the musical musings of DJ Quike AV.
The whole celebration took place at the Old Convent of San Francisco, a beautiful estate that was used as the set of Spain's Celebrity Bake Off.
It is also where the Spanish singer David Bisbal tied the knot with the actress Rosanna Zanetti in 2018.
Dani and Daphne began dating that same year, crediting October 24 as the start of their love story.
They got engaged on 24 December 2020, and got married on 24 June to keep with the number.
The Spanish sports publication AS revealed that their nuptials, which were due to take lace last year, were actually postponed due to the pandemic. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652543092702/nice-day-for-a-wag-wedding-spanish-footballer-dani-carvajal-is-joined-by-his-real-madrid-teammates-as-he-ties-the-knot-with-model-daphne-ca-izares-in-a-black-tie-ceremony | 2022-07-03T22:42:38Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652543092702/nice-day-for-a-wag-wedding-spanish-footballer-dani-carvajal-is-joined-by-his-real-madrid-teammates-as-he-ties-the-knot-with-model-daphne-ca-izares-in-a-black-tie-ceremony | false | 2 |
In compliance with a city ordinance, Akron Police released body camera footage showing the killing of Jayland Walker. The footage begins after police are in pursuit. Akron police do not have dashcams in their cars, so there is no footage of the alleged stop that precipitated these events.
During a police press conference, Akron’s police chief noted many questions remained unanswered. Officials warned viewers and reporters gathered that the footage was distressing.
Local outlet News 5 streamed the police press conference and the one held by the family’s attorneys. Check out their full coverage here.
Reviewing the footage as it was released live was indeed distressing. But it could not have been more distressing for this reporter than for Jayland’s family and loved ones to endure.
Even while providing this exercise in transparency, the Akron police chief attempted to walk a tightrope between objectively reviewing the information and dismissing questions as speculative. At one point, he sidestepped questions about the officers initially choosing to deploy tasers, claiming he didn’t want to second guess or speculate about the perception of threat during the moments after officers began to pursue Jayland on foot.
But narration of the chase speculates about Jayland shooting at police during a high-speed chase instead of simply acknowledging a possible gunshot. In the moments leading up to the shooting, the footage shows a chaotic scene with police officers charging toward Jayland before an unknown number of rounds were shot.
The police chief said they don’t know the official number of rounds discharged, only that the medical examiner has reported 60 wounds on Jayland’s body. Nearly a week after killing Jayland, none of the officers involved have given a formal statement, but the community is to be reassured that they are “cooperating.”
In a final question about officers involved not yet giving statements, the police chief noted that they weren’t required to do so.
“We are walled off from the criminal investigation that is between BCI and the officers,” the police chief said. “The officers don’t have to give a statement. Every American is entitled to due process. And you know, just like everybody else, they do not have to give a statement. My understanding from the union president is there they’re going to fully cooperate with this investigation.”
The actual investigation into Jayland’s killing is being led by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation located in the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
When asked what specific questions he had about the incident, the police chief said he was waiting to raise them in the administrative review led by the Office of Professional Standards and accountability, the internal affairs division.
Speaking immediately after the police press conference, attorneys for the family thanked the police chief for acknowledging that Jayland Walker was unarmed when he was killed. The family’s press conference painted Jayland as a loving young man close to his family.
“The officers will have to account for every single action that they did,” said Ken Abbarno, an attorney representing Jayland Walker’s family. “We cannot villainize Jayland. This is a young man who last Sunday was with his family and his grandmother…efforts to try to paint him in a different light. That spin, that’s protection.”
Abbarno called the fact the officers had not provided statements after nearly a week “troubling.” He also raised concern about the officers possibly watching the video before giving their statement.
His co-counsel Bobby DiCello took issue with some of the presentation, alleging the police chief previously suggested the use of force was unacceptable. The police presentation of the video included still photos and a narrated video. Some of which, DiCello and his co-counsel deny seeing previously.
The attorneys also questioned the use of still images claiming that Jayland reached for his waistband and moved forward, thus likely prompting the group of officers to fire at him. Another photo showing the gun allegedly from Jayland’s car in the front seat was also challenged, with an attorney for the family saying they were under the impression it had been found in the back seat.
From the picture shown of the gun, the magazine had been removed. At least one commenter during the live stream suggested this could have been a sign of Jayland trying to disarm not discharge his weapon.
At varying points during the press conference, DiCello suggested that for Jayland Walker to react as he did was a sign of distress or something more than any reductive narrative by the police.
In response to a question from the press, attorneys noted that Jayland’s partner had recently passed away. But there was no indication to the family he had been mentally distressed.
“He wasn’t a criminal,” family attorney Bobby DiCello said. “He obviously was in pain.”
Jayland Walker’s family, attorneys and supporters continue requesting people be peaceful in their protests and general response. This plea was echoed throughout a gathering led by the Akron chapter of the NAACP.
The community was organized and ready within an hour of the Akron Police Department’s press conference. A diverse group marched through the streets up to police headquarters as solidarity horn honks could be heard along the way.
Some attendees carried “We are done dying” signs from the NAACP. Chants of “Justice for Jayland,” “We are done dying” and “How do you spell murderers? APD” rang out from the crowd as they marched through Akron.
“We gonna stand together…period,” said one attendee to a News 5 reporter. “We want them fired with no pay!” When asked how the past week has been, she responded, “heartbreaking.”

Eventually, the only true question was whether Djokovic would wrap this one up in time, because there is an 11 p.m. curfew. Running up against that would have required them to resume Monday.
“Whew. I am lucky,” Djokovic said after closing the deal with 20 minutes to spare. “It's never really pleasant if you can't finish the match in the same day. Glad I did.”
They did not begin playing until 8 p.m., in part due to a delay of roughly an hour at the start of this special afternoon — the first time in history the tournament's middle Sunday held scheduled play — while a ceremony was held to honor the 100 years of Centre Court.
Djokovic, who questioned after his victory why matches generally begin so late in the main stadium, was among the many past champions who took part, joking to the crowd when it was his turn to speak, “Gosh, I feel more nervous than when I’m playing.”
If he was, indeed, jittery at all at a set apiece many hours later against van Rijthoven, it certainly did not show. Didn't matter that van Rijthoven kept cranking out huge serves, to the tune of 20 aces, including a pair on second serves. Didn't matter just how big the cuts were that van Rijthoven took with his forehands. Didn't matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close. Didn't matter that Djokovic stumbled behind what he called a "slippery" baseline twice, landing first on his backside, later on his left knee and stomach.
“He was on a streak on this surface, and I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy. With that serve and a lot of talent, great touch, powerful forehand, he can do a lot of damage,” Djokovic said. “It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace.”
Djokovic, a 35-year-old from Serbia, calibrated his best-in-the-game returns, got his groundstrokes in fine form — finishing with just 19 unforced errors, compared to 29 winners — and was in complete control, a step closer to all manner of important numbers. His pursuit of a fourth consecutive, and seventh overall, title at Wimbledon, not to mention a 21st major championship, will continue Tuesday against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy.
Sinner reached his first quarterfinal at the All England Club by eliminating No. 5 Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 earlier.
The other quarterfinal on their half of the bracket will be No. 9 Cam Norrie of Britain against unseeded David Goffin of Belgium. They each advanced by beating Americans: Norrie beat No. 30 Tommy Paul 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to get to his first major quarterfinal, and Goffin edged No. 23 Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (3), 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 over more than 4 1/2 hours.
The rest of the fourth round is Monday, and the only men left in the field who ever have participated in a Grand Slam final are Djokovic and 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal. They are also the only men still around ranked in the top 10.
It's a similarly unfamiliar collection of players chasing the women's championship, with just one who has appeared in a Grand Slam final (two-time major title winner Simona Halep, who plays Monday) and just two who were among the top 15 seeds at Wimbledon (No. 3 Ons Jabeur and No. 4 Paula Badosa, who plays Monday).
Jabeur made it to the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the second year in a row with a 7-6 (9), 6-4 victory against No. 24 Elise Mertens of Belgium. The other women moving on Sunday are unseeded and in unfamiliar territory, never having been in any major quarterfinal.
Jabeur next plays Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic, while Tatjana Maria, 34, and Jule Niemeier, 22, will meet in an all-German quarterfinal.
Bouzkova topped Caroline Garcia 7-5, 6-2, Maria defeated 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 after erasing two match points, and Niemeier beat Heather Watson 6-2, 6-4.
“There’s no reason ... not to keep this going," said Bouzkova, who pulled out of the French Open in May after testing positive for COVID-19 before her second-round match. "Kind of believing in myself right now.”
There's been a lot of that going around at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic put an end to such thoughts for van Rijthoven

In Partnership with Rebel Girls
Giulia Gwinn
Read how Giulia Gwinn and her best friend recovered from serious injuries together —returning to the pitch stronger than ever.
Giulia Gwinn. Midfielder, German. Born: 2 July, 1999.
When Giulia injured her knee during a big match, she was devastated. It was going to take almost a year for her to be back playing with her team again. Lying in her hospital bed, Giulia felt a wave of sadness wash over her. A comeback seemed so far away.
During her first weeks in physical therapy, all she could think about was getting back to the excitement of the football pitch. But there was a silver lining
“I realised that I was able to fight back and I have more self-confidence now.”
She had a recovery buddy. A teammate who was injured at the same time. Slowly, the two young women became closer, sharing their small wins like walking normally, then running, then jumping.
Together, they went to their team’s games—both home and away—and cheered from the sidelines. Every time Germany scored, the players on the pitch ran to Giulia for a group hug so the whole team could celebrate together.
During the last few months of rehab, Giulia and her trainer hung up a tape measure and cut off a piece at the end of each session. Snip, snip, snip. The weeks started to fly by. Finally, Giulia got the okay to play in her first match since her injury. She was thrilled. Of course, the first person she told her happy news to was her recovery buddy and teammate.
The whole day felt magical. Giulia found herself relishing in the little things she had taken for granted before her injury, like seeing her jersey waiting for her in the locker room.
‘I went through it a thousand times in my head’,she said. ‘And it was still 100 times more beautiful.
Now, both Giulia and her best friend are back on the pitch together, and stronger than ever. | https://www.nike.com/si/a/giulia-gwinn-football-stories | 2022-07-03T23:14:04Z | https://www.nike.com/si/a/giulia-gwinn-football-stories | false | 11 |
- The White House and Congress recently recognized the US Army Ranger veterans of World War II.
- Rangers played a crucial role in some of the war's most important battles, including D-Day.
- Of the 7,000 Rangers who fought in World War II, only a dozen are still alive to receive the award.
The White House and Congress recently recognized the few remaining World War II veterans of a legendary special-operations unit.
In June, President Joe Biden signed legislation awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to US Army Rangers who fight in some of its the war's most important battles.
The medals, one of the US's highest civilian awards, "is going to go to US Army Ranger veterans of World War II — Rangers who played a crucial role in the D-Day invasion in Normandy," Biden said in a ceremony on June 7.
"This elite group once numbered 7,000, but now it's down to 12. A dozen left. On behalf of our nation, we want to thank them for their heroism and their service," Biden added.
The Rangers forged their legacy on the plains of Europe and in the jungles of Asia during World War II, and two operations best reflect their contribution to the Allied victory.
Pointe du Hoc
One of the most daring operations in Ranger history took place during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944.
Allied forces landed on five beaches — Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha, and Utah. US troops were responsible for Omaha and Utah beaches, which are separated by Pointe du Hoc, a strategically located cliff overlooking both beaches.
The Germans had fortified Pointe du Hoc with heavy artillery that could be deadly to US troops on the beaches and to Allied warships supporting the invasion.
To neutralize the German threat, Allied commanders assigned Lt. Col. James Rudder's 2nd Ranger Battalion and its 200 Rangers to take down the German position before the landings began.
On D-Day, Allied aircraft and ships launched more than 630 tons of munitions against Pointe du Hoc in an attempt to suppress the German defenders ahead of the main landings. The bombardment failed to destroy the German guns and fortifications and tore up the ground and cliffs around the German positions, complicating the Rangers' assault plans.
To get to the German positions, the Rangers had to climb sheer 100-foot cliffs while under German fire. The US commandos used ropes and ladders to get to the top, where they stormed and destroyed the artillery emplacements. However, the Germans counterattacked in force, pinning down the Rangers.
By the second day of the invasion, the Rangers had suffered more than 50% casualties and had only about 90 men still able to fight. The Germans tried to dislodge the Rangers and throw them back into the water with repeated counterattacks, but the American commandos held fast, and on the third day of the invasion, reinforcements finally arrived to relieve them.
Cabanatuan
Army Rangers distinguished themselves again a few months later and thousands of miles away.
At the end of 1944, the tide of the war in the Pacific was changing in favor of the Allies. Japan's army and navy were on the defensive, and Allied forces were recapturing island after island. Amid their retreat, Japanese troops continued and, in some cases, increased their war crimes.
In December 1944, as US troops were advancing in the Philippines, Japanese troops shot or burned alive 139 Allied prisoners of war, many of whom had survived the infamous Bataan Death March.
A few Americans escaped the killing and reported the atrocities to approaching Allied forces. US commanders realized that other Allied prisoners of war faced imminent execution. The Cabanatuan prison camp in the Philippines was the largest in the region, holding more than 500 Allied POWs.
On January 30, 1945, some 120 Alamo Scouts and Rangers from the 6th Ranger Battalion, supported by 200 Filipino guerrillas, launched a rescue operation. To get to Cabanatuan, the commandos had to march 30 miles behind enemy lines.
Once in place, they attacked the camp from the front and flank, catching the Japanese guards unawares. The surprise was complete, and shortly Rangers had rescued all the Allied POWs there.
The Cabanatuan raid is the largest prisoner-of-war rescue in US special-operations history.
One of the Rangers present, Maj. Arthur "Bull" Simons, become a legend in the special-operations community and took in Operation Ivory Coast, the special-operations prisoner-rescue attempt at Son Tay prison camp in North Vietnam. US Special Operations Command recognizes its top member every year with the Bull Simons Award.
Today, the legacy of those commandos lives on in the 75th Ranger Regiment, the world's premier light infantry special-operations unit and an integral part of the US special-operations arsenal. Rangers are the go-to special-operations unit for most contingencies and are one of the few US military units that has been continuously deployed since the September 11 attacks.

Marcos takes helm in Philippines, silent on father’s abuses
Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the namesake son of an ousted dictator, praised his father's legacy and glossed over its violent past as he was sworn in as Philippine president Thursday after a stunning election victory that opponents say was pulled off by whitewashing his family’s image.
His rise to power, 36 years after an army-backed “People Power” revolt booted his father from office and into global infamy, upends politics in the Asian democracy, where a public holiday, monuments and the Philippine Constitution stand as reminders of the end of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s tyrannical rule.
But in his inaugural speech, Marcos Jr. defended the legacy of his late father, who he said accomplished many things that had not been done since the country’s independence.
"He got it done, sometimes with the needed support, sometimes without. So will it be with his son,” he said to applause from his supporters in the crowd. “You will get no excuses from me.”
“My father built more and better roads, produced more rice than all administrations before his,” Marcos Jr. said. He praised the infrastructure projects by his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, who ended his six-year term also with a legacy of violence, strong-man rule and contempt for those who stood in his path.
The new president called for unity, saying “we will go farther together than against each other. He did not touch on the human rights atrocities and plunder his father was accused of, saying he would not talk about the past but the future.
Activists and survivors of the martial law era under his father protested Marcos Jr.’s inauguration, which took place at a noontime ceremony at the steps of the National Museum in Manila. Thousands of police officers, including anti-riot contingents, SWAT commandos and snipers, were deployed in the bayside tourist district for security.
Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, were among foreign dignitaries, who attended the event, which featured a 21-gun salute, a military parade and air force jet fly-bys.
“Wow is this really happening?” asked Bonifacio Ilagan, a 70-year-old activist who was detained and severely tortured by counterinsurgency forces during the elder Marcos’s rule. “For victims of martial law like me, this is a nightmare.”
Marching in the streets, the protesters displayed placards that read, ”Never again to martial law” and “Reject Marcos-Duterte.”
Such historical baggage and antagonism stand to hound Marcos Jr. during a six-year presidency beginning at a time of intense crises.
The Philippines has been among the countries worst-hit in Asia by the two-year coronavirus pandemic, after more than 60,000 deaths and extended lockdowns sent the economy to its worst recession since World War II and worsened poverty, unemployment and hunger. As the pandemic was easing early this year, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent global inflation soaring and sparked fears of food shortages.
Last week, Marcos Jr. announced he would serve as secretary of agriculture temporarily after he takes office to prepare for possible food supply emergencies.
He also inherits decades-old Muslim and communist insurgencies, crime, gaping inequality and political divisions inflamed by his election .
Congress last month proclaimed his landslide victory, as well as that of his running mate Sara Duterte, the daughter of the outgoing president, in the vice-presidential race.
“I ask you all pray for me, wish me well. I want to do well because when the president does well, the country does well,” he said after his congressional proclamation.
Marcos Jr. received more than 31 million votes and Sara Duterte more than 32 million of the more than 55 million votes cast in the May 9 election — massive victories that will provide them robust political capital as they face tremendous challenges as well as doubts arising from their fathers’ reputations. It was the first majority presidential victory in the Philippines in decades.
Outgoing President Duterte presided over a brutal anti-drugs campaign that left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead in an unprecedented scale of killings the International Criminal Court was investigating as a possible crime against humanity. The probe was suspended in November, but the ICC chief prosecutor has asked that it be resumed immediately.
Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte have faced calls to help prosecute her father and cooperate with the international court.
Marcos Jr., a former governor, congressman and senator, has refused to acknowledge massive human rights abuses and corruption that marked his father’s reputation.
During the campaign, he and Sara Duterte avoided controversial issues and focused on a vague call for national unity.
His father was toppled by a largely peaceful pro-democracy uprising in 1986, and died in 1989 while in exile in Hawaii without admitting any wrongdoing, including accusations that he, his family and cronies amassed an estimated $5 billion to $10 billion while in office.
A Hawaii court later found him liable for human rights violations and awarded $2 billion to more than 9,000 Filipinos who filed a lawsuit against him for torture, incarceration, extrajudicial killings and disappearances.
Imelda Marcos and her children were allowed to return to the Philippines in 1991 to engineer a stunning reversal of their political fortunes, helped by a well-funded social media campaign to refurbish the family name. Imelda, the 92-year-old family matriarch, sat in at the inauguration in a traditional light-blue Filipiniana dress, kissed her son and posed for pictures on the stage.
Marcos Jr.’s alliance with Sara Duterte, whose father remains popular despite his human rights record, and a powerful name of one of the country’s most well-known political dynasties, helped him capture the presidency. Many Filipinos too remained poor and grew disenchanted with post-Marcos administrations, Manila-based analyst Richard Heydarian said.
“These allowed the Marcoses to present themselves as the alternative,” Heydarian said. “An unregulated social media landscape allowed their disinformation network to rebrand the dark days of martial law as supposedly the golden age of the Philippines.”
Along metropolitan Manila’s main avenue, democracy shrines and monuments erected after Marcos’ 1986 downfall stand prominently. The anniversary of his ouster is celebrated each year as a special national holiday, and a presidential commission that has worked for decades to recover ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses still exists.
Marcos Jr. has not explained how he will deal with such stark reminders of the past.

Defense wins championships. At least, the Tigers will certainly hope that’s true.
LSU has now landed two four-star edge rushers in the past two days in Jaxon Howard and now Joshua Mickens, who announced his commitment on Sunday. Mickens is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound edge rusher from Indianapolis, where he plays for Lawrence Central.
According to On3, Mickens is a top-50 player in the country. He becomes the eighth commit of the 2023 class for LSU and the second edge rusher. He’s rated as the No. 2 prospect in the state of Indiana and the No. 164 player in the country.
Coach Brian Kelly is known for building great recruiting classes and he is well on his way as he already has eight four-stars committed for 2023. The Tigers’ class now ranks 37th nationally with the addition of Mickens, so there is still a lot of work to do between now and signing day.
Still, LSU has had a solid stretch on the trail after things were quiet for a bit.

Adele declares herself as "Shell of a Person" after cancellation of Residency in Las Vegas
By ANI | Published: July 4, 2022 04:37 AM2022-07-04T04:37:56+5:302022-07-04T04:45:01+5:30
Singer Adele has stated that she felt like "a shell of a person for a couple of months" after unexpectedly cancelling her "Weekends With Adele" Las Vegas residency just days before it was supposed to begin in January.
Singer Adele has stated that she felt like "a shell of a person for a couple of months" after unexpectedly cancelling her "Weekends With Adele" Las Vegas residency just days before it was supposed to begin in January.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, the singer admitted to feeling awful about upsetting fans who had spent thousands of dollars to attend.
"I suppose I simply had to wait it out and really grieve it, just lament the shows and get over the guilt," Adele explained.
According to Variety, Adele originally revealed the news of the cancellations in a sad Instagram video, telling supporters that dates will be rescheduled with more information to follow.
She told BBC anchor Lauren Laverne that she needed to cope with the fallout from the cancelled event privately, acknowledging that "the show was not good enough." I'm not sure if my quiet was lethal. But it was dreadful."
Despite her feelings for the fans, Adele remarked that she did not regret the choice to end the residency, even though "I absolutely felt everyone's sorrow and I was saddened, and I was afraid of letting them down." I had hoped to put it all together and make it work, but I couldn't. I stand by my decision... I'm not going to perform a concert simply because I have to, or because people will be disappointed, or because we'll lose a lot of money."
"Of course, I could be someone on TikTok or Instagram Live every day, saying 'I'm working on it,'" Adele told Laverne. Naturally, I'm working on it! I'm not going to update you if I don't have anything to inform you on, since it would just lead to further disappointment."
Adele did, however, mention the possibility of altering her US tour itinerary during her performance at Hyde Park on Friday evening, suggesting that new dates might be announced "very, very soon."
"I had concerts that I was meant to do, but they didn't happen," she explained on Friday. "All I need is one piece of equipment."
Adele's debut at the BST Hyde Park Festival in London was her first public performance in five years. The two-hour show included songs from her most recent album "30," as well as favourites such as "Rumour Has It" and "Rolling in the Deep."

Several killed, wounded in Copenhagen mall shooting
"I want to encourage the Danes to stand together and support each other in this difficult time." Copenhagen police said armed officers were sent to Field's mall in the capital late on Sunday afternoon after reports of a shooting, and had told people inside to stay put and await assistance.
Several people were killed in a shooting at a shopping centre in Copenhagen on Sunday, Danish police said, adding they had arrested a 22-year-old Danish man and could not rule out it was an "act of terrorism". The attack rocked Denmark at the end of an otherwise joyful week, just after it hosted the first three stages of the Tour de France cycle race, in an event that had sent thousands of cheering Danes into streets across the country.
"Denmark was hit by a cruel attack on Sunday night. Several were killed. Even more wounded. Innocent families shopping or eating out. Children, adolescents and adults," Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement late on Sunday. "Our beautiful and usually so safe capital was changed in a split second," she said. "I want to encourage the Danes to stand together and support each other in this difficult time."
Copenhagen police said armed officers were sent to Field's mall in the capital late on Sunday afternoon after reports of a shooting, and had told people inside to stay put and await assistance. Local media footage showed groups of terrified shoppers running from the mall. Police launched a massive search operation throughout the local Zealand region early Sunday evening, Chief Police Inspector Soren Thomassen told journalists, but said there was no initial indication other shooters had been present.
Thomassen declined to comment on possible motives or whether the shooter was known to police. The capital's main hospital, Rigshospitalet, had received a "small group of patients" for treatment, a spokesperson said, and had called in extra doctors and nurses.
Danish tabloid BT published unverified video footage it said was shot by a witness to the attack, Mahdi Al-wazni, showing a man with a large rifle walking through the mall and swinging it around his shoulders. "He seemed very aggressive and shouted different things," Al-wazni told BT.
Footage published by tabloid Ekstra Bladet showed one person being carried by rescue workers into an ambulance on a stretcher. "People first thought it was a thief ... Then I suddenly hear shots and threw myself behind the counter inside the store," an eyewitness, Rikke Levandovski, told broadcaster TV2.
"He is just shooting into the crowd, not up in the ceiling or into the floor," she added. The multi-storey shopping mall is located around 5 kilometres (3 miles) south of downtown Copenhagen.
"My friend and I ... suddenly we hear shots. I hear about ten shots and then run as fast as we can into a toilet. We squeeze into this tiny toilet where we are around 11 people," another witness who gave her name as Isabella told public broadcaster DR. The attack follows a deadly shooting in neighbouring Norway last week, in which two people were killed by a lone shooter in the capital Oslo.
The terrorist threat against Denmark is currently assessed to be "serious", with the biggest threat coming from "militant Islamism", according to the latest report from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service. The threat to Denmark from right-wing extremists is considered at a "general" level, which means there is capability and/or intent and possibly planning.
Denmark last saw a militant attack in 2015, when two people were killed and six police officers wounded when a lone gunman shot and killed a man outside a culture centre hosting a debate on freedom of speech, and later killed a person outside a Jewish synagogue in central Copenhagen. That gunman was killed in a shoot-out with police.
A concert due to be held by singer Harry Styles in Copenhagen on Sunday night not far from the shopping centre was cancelled, police said. "Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the victims, their relatives and all those affected by the tragedy," Denmark's Queen Margrethe and the Crown Prince couple said in a statement.
An event in Southern Denmark to commemorate the end of the Tour de France stages, hosted by the Crown Prince and with Frederiksen in attendance, was also cancelled. Copenhagen police were due to hold a second press briefing about the shooting at 1245 a.m. local time.

Phil Hellmuth misses out on record 17th WSOP bracelet
Phil Hellmuth was denied his 17th World Series of Poker bracelet early Sunday.
After a 35-minute heads-up battle with David Jackson, Hellmuth finished second in the $3,000 buy-in Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em tournament at Bally’s Event Center.
Hellmuth was looking to extend his record of 16 WSOP tournament victories, six ahead of Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey. Instead, he settled for the $369,698 second prize.
Jackson earned his first career live WSOP bracelet and $598,173. His previous win came in the $777 buy-in No-limit Hold’em Lucky Sevens Seven-Handed Online event in 2021.
The close call for Hellmuth on the eve of the start of the $10,000 buy-in Main Event No-limit Hold’em World Championship continued his eventful summer.
He suffered from stomach issues when he arrived at the series after a weekend in Mexico, then tested positive for COVID-19. When he left quarantine, Hellmuth said he experienced an abnormal heartbeat during a tournament.
Since then, Hellmuth had opportunities to extend his all-time bracelet record, but finished eighth and ninth in separate 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship events. His best chance came in the No-limit Freezeout when he was among the chip leaders most of the final day.
After arriving at the five-handed featured table, the “Poker Brat” began arguing with fans after being heckled. He later scarfed down a roast beef sandwich and said “Food makes me pretty lucky,” which quickly became a meme on social media.

Hellmuth made some peculiar plays at the final table but survived to face Jackson, who entered heads-up play with almost a 4.5-to-1 chip advantage. That deficit was quickly erased when Hellmuth slow-played pocket aces to win a massive pot and take the lead.
But Jackson controlled the match the rest of the way. Hellmuth called a river bet and was shown a flush, giving Jackson a 2-to-1 chip lead. From there, Jackson applied pressure and built on his advantage.
On the final hand, Hellmuth was all-in and ahead with ace-seven against Jackson’s king-jack. But the final two cards completed Jackson’s straight to send a disappointed Hellmuth to the rail.

Welcome to the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's daily WWE News Roundup, where we look at the top news stories over the last 24 hours.
Today's roundup is filled with stories related to last night's Money in the Bank premium live event. A top star might have suffered an injury during her match on the show. Liv Morgan has revealed what Ronda Rousey told her after her cash-in. Additionally, a top star is set to make an in-ring return at WWE SummerSlam 2022.
Without further ado, let's dive straight into today's News Roundup. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts and reactions on the same. Did you enjoy last night's show?
#4. What Ronda Rousey told Liv Morgan after Money in the Bank cash-in
Undoubtedly the biggest moment from last night was Liv Morgan successfully cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Ronda Rousey to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion. The two stars went on to hug each other in the middle of the ring, showing mutual respect.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport in a post-match interview, Morgan revealed that during their hug, Rousey told her "You deserve it." Morgan further revealed how much victory means to her:
“I’ve literally I’ve worked my whole entire life for this, Ariel. It doesn’t feel real to have it in my hands. Even though I’m holding it even though I see it, I feel it, I can’t believe it’s mine. You have to kill me to get this out of my hands… This is the greatest moment of my life so far,” said Liv Morgan. (H/T: Fightful)
Liv Morgan has been a massive fan favorite for the last couple of years. The WWE Universe as well as her fellow pro wrestlers are extremely delighted to see her finally achieve her dream of becoming a champion.
#3. Top star possibly injured after Money in the Bank match?
WWE did a great job booking the Women's Money in the Bank as Liv Morgan won it. However, the match itself was filled with several botches, some of which were rather dangerous.
Money in the Bank is always a risky match stipulation as it involves several ladders being used as weapons by the stars. Former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Shotzi Blackheart learned this the hard way last night as she got busted open during the match.
There was a spot during the match where Shotzi landed badly on the back of her neck. During the later stages of the match, she was caught on camera multiple times covered in blood.
Shotzi managed to continue the match but was clearly struggling. WWE has not released any official statement regarding her injury as of now.
#2. Sasha Banks' name accidentally mentioned during Money in the Bank
Other than some in-ring botches, the Women's Money in the Bank match also saw a major commentary botch from Corey Graves. During a spot in the match, Graves accidentally referred to Shotzi as Sasha before quickly correcting himself.
WWE has been trying to avoid mentioning Sasha Banks' name anywhere on their programming ever since her controversial RAW walkout with Naomi a couple of months ago. There is no confirmation yet on what the future holds for her and if she will ever return to the company.
#1. Major name set for in-ring return at WWE SummerSlam 2022
WWE Money in the Bank 2022 went off the air with Theory celebrating his victory in the Men's MITB ladder match. Immediately afterward, Happy Corbin emerged at ringside and viciously attacked Pat McAfee.
McAfee and Corbin have been feuding over the last few weeks, leading to McAfee challenging Corbin to a SummerSlam match. Following last night's attack, Corbin accepted the challenge, and the match has now been made official for WWE SummerSlam 2022.
This will be McAfee's in-ring return after competing in two matches at WrestleMania 38 - first against Theory and second against WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

Russia says it now controls Ukraine's Luhansk region, one of the two eastern regions that have been the focus of its invasion of Ukraine.
The announcement comes after Ukrainian troops withdrew from Lysychansk, an industrial city that had become the last major Ukrainian-controlled holdout in the region.
Together, Russian troops and a Russian-backed separatist militia "have established full control" over the city, a statement from Russia's defense ministry said. It represents "the liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic," the statement said, using the separatists' name for the self-proclaimed breakaway state.
Ukrainian troops had held out in this pocket of Luhansk for months, first in Sievierodonetsk, then Lysychansk. But with Russian troops pressing in on three sides, they faced the risk of encirclement and withdrew to the east, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Continuing the defense of the city would have led to fatal consequences. In order to preserve the lives of Ukrainian defenders, a decision was made to withdraw," the armed forces said in a statement on Facebook.
The Russians had superiority in multiple facets of the fight, Ukrainian officials said, from artillery and air force to ammunition and personnel.
After the fall of nearby Sievierodonetsk late last month, Lysychansk had become the last major city under Ukrainian control in Luhansk, the easternmost region of Ukraine. Just a week ago, Serhiy Haidai, the exiled Luhansk regional governor, urged the city's residents to evacuate.
"They attacked the city with unexplainably brutal tactics," Haidai said over the weekend in a post on Telegram. "If in Sievierodonetsk, some houses and administrative buildings survived through a month of street fighting, then in Lysychansk the same administrative buildings were completely destroyed in a shorter period of time."
What the retreat from Lysychansk represents for Ukraine
Luhansk and Donetsk make up eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, where violence has been ongoing since long before Russia's invasion in February. Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian forces have fought since 2014, after Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea.
On Feb. 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin set the stage for the full-scale invasion by recognizing separatist-controlled areas in Luhansk and Donetsk as independent and ordering Russian military forces there under what he called a "peacekeeping" mission.
In the months since, Russia scaled back the ambitions of its invasion and refocused its military efforts on eastern Ukraine, with parts of Donbas seeing the most intense fighting of the year so far.
Now, with Luhansk largely in Russian hands, the neighboring region of Donetsk could soon follow.
The last two Ukrainian-held major cities in Donetsk — Kramatorsk and Slovyansk — are just about 50 miles from Lysychansk. The other major cities in Donetsk, including Donetsk itself, along with Mariupol, have been controlled by Russians or Russian-backed forces for some time.
Kramatorsk and Slovyansk have endured Russian shelling and rocket fire for months, including the deadly attack on Kramatorsk's main train station in April that killed dozens of civilians.
If they fall, then the entire Donbas region would be effectively controlled by Russia — amounting to a demonstrable victory for Putin in a war that by all indications has dragged out longer than the Kremlin initially expected.
Putin has long prized the coal and steel-producing Donbas, which has a predominantly Russian-speaking population. The full capture would give Russia a strategic victory as well, expanding its control over Ukraine's southeast and further cementing the "land bridge" between Russian territory and Crimea.

2 charged in death of missing woman found buried in barn
CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY, Mo. (KFVS/Gray News) - Two people have been charged with murder in the death of a woman found buried in a barn in Missouri.
On Friday, July 1, the Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney filed charges on Lawrence Schanda and Teresa Baumgartner for first-degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with physical evidence in a felony investigation in the death of Schanda’s niece, 20-year-old Jessi Wilfong.
Their bonds were set at $5 million cash only, KFVS reports.
48-year-old Schanda arrived in Jackson, Mississippi, on Friday afternoon from Reynolds County, where he was being held on unrelated charges. 59-year-old Baumgartner remains at the Cape Girardeau County Jail.
According to the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff’s Office, Wilfong’s body was found buried in a barn on property near Schanda and Baumgartner’s home.
Deputies said an autopsy on June 20 indicated Wilfong had been stabbed multiple times, and her manner of death was ruled a homicide.
According to court documents, Baumgartner is in a relationship with Wilfong’s uncle, Lawrence Schanda, and traveled with him to pick up Wilfong from Fredericktown and bring her back to their home in Millersville.
Wilfong was last seen at that home in the early morning hours of May 20.
She was reported missing May 25 by her mother.
According to the sheriff’s office, Schanda was interviewed on June 8 and admitted to having an argument with Wilfong shortly before she disappeared.
Officers say a witness told them on June 13 that they had a conversation with Baumgartner who told them that on the night Wilfong disappeared, Schanda badly beat Wilfong after an argument.
They said Baumgartner did not report that information to law enforcement despite multiple contacts with her. Baumgartner also did not report Wilfong as a missing person or acknowledge that she was missing until after law enforcement made contact with Baumgartner.
While serving a search warrant at Schanda and Baumgartner’s home in Millersville on June 15, investigators found carpet and carpet padding had been removed from the living room and hallway.
Investigators say another witness told them on June 17 that Baumgartner told them Wilfong had been murdered by Schanda inside the home and that Wilfong would be found on some property that Baumgartner and Schanda had considered buying.
The property was located about two miles from their home.
When they contacted the property owner, investigators said the owner told them Baumgartner and Schanda had been on the property on May 23 and spent an extended amount of time in and around the barn area on May 24.
The owner told investigators that on May 24 Schanda was sweating profusely, not wearing a shirt and had mud on his boots. The owner said Schanda gave him an envelope with $20,000 in cash and said it was a down payment to buy the property.
Schanda allegedly told the owner he and Baumgartner were cleaning out the barn area. Investigators say the owner did not approach the barn area.
On June 18, deputies went to the barn and found a “clearly disturbed area of ground inside the barn.” They also found shovels, a sleeveless men’s shirt and an auger.
While excavating the area, investigators found the remains of Jessi Wilfong. They said multiple knives, a pair of men’s boots, a carpet remnant and other items were buried with her.
Deputies say they were able to track the auger, a piece of equipment used to dig into the ground, back to an area business and say it was rented on May 24 by Baumgartner. They said a man matching Schanda’s description was with her when she rented it.

Covid cases are surging for the second time this year, with at least one regional health provider warning that infections have doubled in just 14 days.
The Ministry of Health is due to release a statement of latest daily cases, deaths and hospitalisations at 1pm.
Hauora Tairāwhiti today warned infections were again on the rise, with between 38 and 88 cases over the past week.
"There are now 394 active cases, which is double what we had two weeks ago," the former district health board posted on Facebook today.

Advertise with NZME.Experts are now warning New Zealand is facing a second wave of coronavirus infections as cases of the Omicron subvariant BA.5 spread around the country.
Yesterday there were 4924 community cases of the virus and 11 deaths, but the seven-day rolling average has grown to 6895, almost 2000 more than a week ago.
There are currently 48,242 reported active cases in New Zealand.
The numbers of people in hospital continue to rise, with 424 people in wards with the virus, including seven in intensive care.
University of Canterbury professor and Covid-19 modeller Michael Plank told RNZ infections could potentially hit a similar peak to the first March wave of around 20,000 cases per day.
"We can see in the genome sequencing data that this variant has been spreading much faster than the previous variant that we have, so it's quite likely that this will lead to a significant second wave in the weeks ahead," he said.
Plank said the number of infections among people over the age of 70 were already at an all-time high, as immunity from vaccination and first-wave infections waned.
This morning, Housing Minister Megan Woods told AM that Covid protection settings were reviewed a week ago and a decision was made to stay at the Orange setting.

Advertise with NZME.While February's outbreak saw the country move to red at 10,000 daily cases, Woods said settings weren't solely triggered numerically but on a more nuanced set of factors.
This included where and how transmission was taking place.
She said there remained a lot of scope at Orange to prevent Covid spread including getting vaccinated, wearing masks, testing when feeling symptomatic and staying home when ill.
Last week, Covid-19 Response Minister Ayesha Verrall said that moving back to Red was unnecessary as the virus was still being managed at this level.
Woods scotched suggestions of introducing a mandatory isolation for flu, an idea touted by epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker, saying no discussion had taken place at government level.
"We certainly haven't considered any mandatory isolation period for the flu," she said.

Advertise with NZME.Her comments came as Health Minister Andrew Little posted on social media that he had contracted Covid.
Last week, acting Prime Minister Grant Robertston announced he had tested positive for Covid but was well enough to work remotely while he recovered. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-omicron-outbreak-latest-cases-as-new-wave-surges-infections-double-in-tairawhiti/4FDA4KIQYCFHUTPUPFLZ5JFNQQ/?c_id=1&objectid=12535643&ref=rss | 2022-07-04T00:26:35Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-omicron-outbreak-latest-cases-as-new-wave-surges-infections-double-in-tairawhiti/4FDA4KIQYCFHUTPUPFLZ5JFNQQ/?c_id=1&objectid=12535643&ref=rss | false | 3 |
Wantz was reinstated from his three-game suspension Saturday and made a relief appearance in the Angels' 9-1 loss to the Astros, giving up two runs on two hits over an inning while striking out two of the five batters he faced.
Wantz was handed the three-game suspension for throwing pitches at Julio Rodriguez and Jesse Winker in a June 26 spot start, with his actions inciting a benches-clearing brawl. The 26-year-old returned to his familiar bullpen role Saturday, but he provided little relief behind starter Patrick Sandoval, as Wantz served up solo home runs to Martin Maldonado and Jose Altuve. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/angels-andrew-wantz-serves-up-two-homers-in-return/ | 2022-07-04T00:27:14Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/angels-andrew-wantz-serves-up-two-homers-in-return/ | false | null |
Hasely (illness) went 1-for-1 with an RBI single as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Giants.
Haseley was a pinch runner Friday and has now pinch hit in two straight contests, so it appears his illness-related absence has come to a close. The 26-year-old is still unlikely to command much playing time as a depth outfielder. He is batting .250 (5-for-20) with three walks in 11 games this season. Haseley could be at risk of losing his spot on the 26-man roster once Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) or Adam Engel (hamstring) are activated from the injured list.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nate Looney is a Black man who grew up in Los Angeles, a descendant of enslaved people from generations ago. He’s also an observant, kippah-wearing Jew.
But he doesn’t always feel welcome in Jewish spaces — his skin color sometimes elicits questioning glances, suspicions and hurtful assumptions. Once, he walked into a synagogue dressed for Shabbat services in slacks and a buttoned-down shirt and was told to go to the kitchen.
“The last thing you want to happen when you go to a synagogue to attend a service,” Looney said, “is to be treated like you don’t belong.”
Now Looney is in a position to do something about that, after being named to the new role of director of community, safety and belonging for the Jewish Equity Diversity and Inclusion team at the Jewish Federations of North America, or JFNA, in April. He believes he can channel his painful personal experiences into healing divisions and changing perceptions, and help make a trip to the synagogue a spiritual rather than a scarring encounter for Jews of color.
In this new role, Looney has been tackling the delicate task of producing guidelines on how to be more welcoming of Jews of color, even as synagogues and community centers strengthen security in the wake of recent attacks including mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Poway, California. The concern is that such boosted security increases the likelihood of racial profiling incidents affecting congregants of color.
It’s a relatively small but growing demographic. A Pew Center survey in 2021 showed just 8% of U.S. Jews identify as Hispanic, Black or Asian, but that nearly doubled to 15% among respondents aged 18 to 29. The poll also found that 17% reported living in a nonwhite or multiracial household.
Looney, 37, has led a life that has taken several turns. He served in the military police as part of the Louisiana National Guard and spent nine months overseas training Iraqi police forces. He has worked in real estate and has even done urban farming, selling microgreens in local markets.
His spiritual journey began at 13 when a friend asked Looney, whose father was Baptist and mother was Episcopalian, about his own religion. Despite his family’s Christian faith, Looney said he never felt connected to it.
“I was obstinate that (Christianity) wasn’t for me,” he said. “When I think about African enslavement in America and how religion was something that was forced, I believed that the religion I was practicing was not true to who my ancestors were.”
Looney embraced Judaism while still a teen because he viewed it as a faith that gives believers permission to ask difficult, uncomfortable questions, though he didn’t formally convert until age 26.
It was after the police killing of George Floyd and the racial reckoning of summer 2020 that Looney began working with organizations to raise awareness about Jews of color. It was also during that time that JFNA launched its diversity, equity and inclusion initiative.
Looney said Jews of color are often subjected to questions about their Jewish origins. Even when well intentioned, those queries can be painful because they cast doubt on their identity right away and imply they don’t belong, he said.
Add to that the increased security at synagogues, and there’s even greater potential for people to feel othered or unwelcome.
“How do you strike a balance? You don’t want to exclude anyone, and yet you want to be discerning of who is coming in the door,” Looney said. “Cultural competency is important. Just the fact that someone who is Black is walking in shouldn’t raise alarms.”
He knows from personal experience. The morning of the Tree of Life synagogue mass shooting in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27, 2018, Looney was unaware it had taken place because he was not using his phone in observance of Shabbat. When he entered a synagogue, he got more questions and “experienced deeper scrutiny” from security guards, and it was painful.
“If that were my first time entering that community,” he said, “I would’ve never come back.”
The guidelines he is working on will be shared with Jewish federations across North America and, Looney hopes, implemented at the local level by synagogues and community centers. Just two months into his job, he says they are a work in progress but will continue to evolve over time.
One goal is to inculcate in security guards a deeper understanding of the diversity of the Jewish community, he said: “We’re starting to have these types of conversations and that’s a great beginning.”
Rabbi Isaiah Rothstein, who founded the diversity, equity and inclusion initiative and serves as JFNA’s public affairs advisor, said Looney’s professional experience as a military policeman and his lived experience as a Jewish person of color make him uniquely qualified to boost inclusivity while being cognizant of the sensitive relationship between law enforcement and people of color.
“Security and belonging don’t have to be mutually exclusive,” said Rothstein, who is the son of a white father and a Black mother and has seen his darker-skinned relatives being treated differently in synagogues. “Nate is helping us bring an equity lens to make sure all our institutions are safe and secure while creating a culture of belonging for all Jews and our loved ones.”
Sabrina Sojourner, an African American Jewish chaplain at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington who met Looney at a leadership seminar five years ago, said people of color are “profiled consciously and unconsciously by white people” and Looney’s role at the JFNA is crucial to help transform assumptions about “who is the threat and who is not.”
“If you look at attacks against Jewish people and synagogues, they are not perpetrated by people of color,” Sojourner said. “Nate’s work is so important because it tells me JFNA gets that if the most vulnerable people in our communities are not safe, our communities are not safe.”
Looney said another challenge is that antisemitism and racism tend to be compartmentalized.
“It’s a tough job to make people understand that many of us have multiple identities and fit into both categories and that we are all fighting against white supremacy,” he said.
Placing Jews of color in decision-making roles in Jewish spaces can help forge solidarity and bring the realization that “marginalized communities are stronger when they come together,” he added.
Rothstein believes Looney will make a big difference because “he is also a healer.” As an example, he cited a virtual JFNA event commemorating Martin Luther King Day in 2021 when Looney recited a prayer and sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a hymn written by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and often referred to as the “Black national anthem.”
“Those three minutes felt like three hours and they felt like three seconds,” Rothstein said. “It’s how Nate holds himself. He is so accessible to people because of his heart. That comes through the life he has lived.”

Mukesh Ambani Resigns, Akash Ambani To Head Reliance Jio
Daniel McCarthy (Author) Published Date : Jun 29, 2022 16:12 ISTWorld News
Former Reliance Jio director Mukesh Ambani has resigned from his leadership post. Following this, Mukesh Ambani's son Akash Ambani was appointed as the Chairman of Jio.
Reliance Jio, which entered the Indian telecom market in 2016, has become a leading company in a short period by offering free calls and affordable data to its users. It has surpassed the investments made by Geo and is currently making huge profits. Geo's net income rose 22.9 per cent to Rs 4,313 crore in the last quarter of fiscal 2021-22.
Mukesh Ambani has three children. Eldest son Akash and daughter Isha are twins, and the Youngest son is Anand. All three were educated at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School run by the Ambani family in Mumbai. Many celebrities' kids are educated in this school, and it is said it is the costliest school.
Akash completed his schooling and studied Economics at Brown University in the United States. On the fourth day of graduation, he joined Reliance as a director in 2014.
Akash, who is interested in technology, immediately joined the Reliance Jio Team as Head of the Planning Division. At that time, Akash decided to offer Jio service on the 4G network, as other companies only offered 2G and 3G services. Reliance Jio revolutionized the Indian cell phone and entertainment market with that decision. Akash has also been instrumental in its subsequent ventures as jio Chat, jio Cinema and jio TV. Following this, Mukesh Ambani's daughter is set to be Chairperson of Reliance Retail.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — The Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival continued in Battle Creek Sunday, a day after a jet truck driver died during a fiery crash at the show.
The entire day was dedicated to remembering 40-year-old Chris Darnell and supporting his family.
“It was quite moving to see that for him,” Wendy Fain said.
The air show kicked off around 12:30 p.m. Sunday with a missing man formation flight. Four civilian aircraft took part in memory and honor of Darnell.
The Thunderbirds also dedicated their show to Darnell, even adding his name to the lead Thunderbird plane as tribute.

“I’ve watched him perform over and over and over, and his whole family. I’ve never seen anything out here like that. You Just don’t expect that,” Don Verhoeven said of Saturday’s crash. “Today, what the Thunderbirds did especially and the missing man formation, the whole crowd was quiet.”
People who attended the show could also contribute to Darnell’s family by dropping their donations in buckets set up at the show’s admission gates and beer tents.
“Remembering him was our big focus today,” said air show spokesperson Brett Bailey. “Last night we had two bands that set up donation jars and they raised over $2,000 for the Darnell family.”
Darnell was a lifelong motorsports enthusiast and experienced racer. According to his bio on the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck website, Darnell had competed in different types of racing throughout his life and owned a Truck Accessory Company called 4 Wheel Customs. He shared duties with his father driving the SHOCKWAVE Jet Trucks.
The deadly crash happened around 1:10 p.m. Saturday at the Battle Creek Executive Airport during the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck pyrotechnic portion of the air show, according to the Battle Creek Police Department in a release.
Drivers and pilots were performing Field of Flight activities, which features pyrotechnics, aircraft performing aerial stunts, and the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck racing them over 300 mph down the airport runway. During this maneuver, the jet truck flipped off the runway and caught fire.
In a Saturday post to the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck Facebook page, Darnell’s dad stated the accident happened because of a “mechanical failure on the Jet Truck.”
The Federal Aviation Administration, Battle Creek police and fire departments are continuing to investigate the incident. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/calhoun-county/battle-creek-air-show-honors-driver-killed-in-crash/ | 2022-07-04T00:54:32Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/calhoun-county/battle-creek-air-show-honors-driver-killed-in-crash/ | false | 1 |

(EDITORIAL from Korea Herald on July 4)
Minimize side effect
: Government, labor, business should try to soften impact of minimum wage increase
South Korea's minimum hourly wage for 2023 has been set at 9,620 won ($7.41), a 5 percent increase from this year. The new rate translates to a monthly wage of 2.02 million won, surpassing the 2 million won mark for the first time.
But neither the labor nor business side were satisfied with the outcome, posing a problem for the Yoon Suk-yeol administration, amid concerns about deepening economic woes including surging inflation.
Made up of 27 representatives -- nine each from labor, business and the general public -- the Minimum Wage Commission went through fierce debates before settling for the final figure due to the wide gap in proposed increases.
The labor side initially called for a 12.9 percent hike, which would raise the wage floor to 10,890 won per hour. It retreated to a 10 percent increase in a following session to seek a compromise. By contrast, the business side proposed a 1.1 percent increase from this year, or a minimum hourly wage of 9,160. It revised its proposed rate hike to 1.86 percent.
To seek a breakthrough, the general public side proposed 9,620 won, which was eventually passed by representatives only 10 minutes before the legal deadline for minimum wage deliberations, suggesting how hard the commission members wrangled over the rate.
Indeed, the country's minimum wage is an important and highly sensitive topic as it is applied equally across all industries. Considering a slew of negative factors such as runaway inflation and increasingly unfavorable business conditions, it was extremely difficult to agree on an optimal figure.
The labor side's key argument is that the minimum wage increase is too small for low wage workers. The business side counters that small- and medium-sized companies and small shop owners are already having difficulties in running their businesses in the face of higher cost.
In all fairness, both have valid points. Given that inflation is rising at a brisk pace in recent months, next year's 5 percent increase might seem barely enough in the eyes of workers. But businesses may find the same 5 percent rate hike as too burdensome as they are in for more economic challenges in the coming months.
The commission's chief Park Joon-shik said the 5 percent increase is based on data that forecasts economic growth of 2.7 percent and a 4.5 percent average inflation for this year.
Things could worsen further. Policymakers are worried that the country's inflation could top 6 percent in June, after it jumped 5.4 percent on-year in May, the fastest rise in almost 14 years. As central banks across the world, led by the US Federal Reserve, are raising interest rates to tame inflation, a growing number of experts see higher risks of economic downturn, or a recession.
Faced with inflation, a higher interest rate and the decreasing value of the Korean currency against the US dollar, companies and consumers alike are expected to tighten their belts, which could lead to a decrease in sales of various products.
Against this backdrop, it is reasonable to think that too much increase of the minimum wage could make things worse, as firms will not employ workers at a loss. But policymakers should consider the reality that high inflation is eroding the real wages of low-paid workers when they weigh the impact of a minimum wage increase.
For all the different views, policymakers, labor and business should make joint efforts to minimize negative impact of the rate increase for next year, as it should not hurt the low-paid workers that the minimum wage policy is designed to help.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Tyler Reddick raced to his first NASCAR Cup Series victory Sunday, continuing the season-long trend of first-time winners on road courses.
Each of the first three road-course races this year has had a first-time winner, with Reddick breaking through at Road America after Ross Chastain won at the Circuit of the Americas and Daniel Suárez at Sonoma.
“What better place than Road America?” Reddick said. “I love the fans. I love this racetrack. Being here Fourth of July weekend is just so special.”
The Richard Childress Racing driver won by 3.304 seconds over defending race champion Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports. All the other drivers were over 21 seconds behind Reddick.
Kyle Larson was third, followed by Chastain and Suárez.
Elliott had the pole position and led for much of the day as he attempted to follow his victory last week at Nashville with another.
Nobody has won more than two races through the first 18 events on the Cup Series calendar. It’s the first year in which the series hasn’t had anyone win at least three of the first 18 races.
Elliott and Reddick were both well ahead of the field before making pit stops with about 20 laps remaining in the 62-lap race. Elliott had a narrow lead over Reddick as they came out of the pits, but Reddick eventually pulled ahead of him as they headed back toward the front of the pack.
“Just waited for the right opportunity and was able to take advantage of it at Turn 6,” Reddick said.
Reddick took over the lead once all the cars that had been ahead of him made their pit stops.
Reddick had a chance to win slip away at Bristol in April. Reddick and Chase Briscoe were dueling for the lead that night when the two cars spun out of control, enabling Kyle Busch to slip past them for the victory.
“This year’s been one mistake away from greatness all year long,” Reddick said. “We finally did it today.”
Elliott was seeking his eighth career Cup Series road-course win to tie Tony Stewart for second place — one behind Jeff Gordon’s record.
And he seemed well on his way to getting there.
Elliott was dealing with an apparent steering issue at the start of the race. He complained of an apparent brake issue near the halfway point.
Yet he still was in firm control for much of the day. Elliott didn’t win either of the first two stages only because he made pit stops just before the end of each of them.
Briscoe won the first stage and Ryan Blaney took the second stage.
“I think we were good enough to win,” Elliott said. “Those always hurt.”
UP NEXT
The Cup Series heads to the Atlanta Motor Speedway next Sunday. Kurt Busch won this event last year.

No guide from the American markets today and tonight because of the Independence Day long weekend, meaning no lead for worried investors heading into Tuesday’s trading.
That won’t worry Australian investors after a surge in futures trading Friday night – while Eurozone shares rose 0.1% on Friday and the US S&P 500 rose (helped by falling bond yields despite ongoing recession fears), ASX 200 futures jumped 96 points, or 1.5%, pointing to a very positive start on the ASX today.
That will be very different to Friday’s performance here when the ASX 200 fell 0.4% to 6,539.9.
In the US, the S&P 500 rallied 1.1% Friday but was off 2.2% for the week, ending at 3,825. Nasdaq added 0.9% Friday, but was down 4.1% for the week and the Dow rose 1.05% on Friday to be down 1.3% for the week.
Yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds tumbled to 2.89% after hitting lows of 2.80% late in the session on Friday. The close was the near six-month lows. US bond yields had been as high as 3.48% for the 10-year note and the sharp fall from then tells us how much investors fear a likely recession.
The fall in yields came as the value of the US dollar ended with a gain of 0.4% on Friday and just under 1% for the week.
The Aussie dollar ended at 68.15 US cents, down 1.8% for the week.
The usual start of month data drops around the world will impact trading this week, as will the lack of a lead tonight because of the US holiday weekend.
The fears of a recession or sharp slowdown continue to rise across markets.
Investors will assess the gloomy outlook from Bank of America Corp.’s Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett who said in a note on Friday that he saw a “recession shock” beginning for markets following the worst first-half for the S&P 500 in more than 50 years,
Harnett wrote in a note on Friday that while expectations of aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve are peaking, inflation expectations are not, and BofA’s bull and bear indicator remains at “maximum bearish” for a third week in a row.
Goldman Sachs strategists meanwhile said on Friday that the risk of a renewed sell-off in equity markets is still high as investors are only pricing a mild recession.
They said the upcoming earnings season is also going to be crucial for investors to gauge the impact of high inflation and weaker consumer sentiment on corporate profits.
For the week, Eurozone shares and Japanese shares both fell 2.1%. Chinese shares rose 1.6% having already had a 35% bear market.
Australian shares dropped 0.6% with gains in utilities, energy and industrials offset by falls in property, IT and telco shares.
…………
Meanwhile the carnage in cryptomarkets continues.
Shares in crypto brokerage house Voyager Digital plummeted as much as 40% after it announced Friday that it has temporarily suspended trading, deposits, withdrawals, and loyalty rewards.
It shares dropped to as low as 25 US cents before it rebounded to about 33 US cents at market close.
The company had last week issued a notice of default to Three Arrows Capital, formerly one of the most active crypto hedge funds, after it defaulted on a loan to Voyager of about $US666.7 million, including 15,250 bitcoin, or about $US297 million based on bitcoin’s recent price, and $US350 million.
Voyager said it has engaged Moelis & Company as a financial advisor, and that has been in discussions with advisors to Three Arrows regarding potential legal remedies.
As this was happening, Three Arrows Capital filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the Southern District of New York late Friday after weeks of speculation that it was functionally insolvent
Bloomberg reported that Chapter 15 filings are generally tied to foreign proceedings.
A court in the British Virgin Islands had a week ago ordered Three Arrows’ local branch to enter into liquidation.
Three Arrows had borrowed large amounts of funds from several crypto lenders, including BlockFi, Celsius, Babel Finance and Voyager Digital, but was unable to pay.
On Thursday, the Monetary Authority of Singapore – the country’s key financial regulator – had accused Three Arrows of exceeding its asset threshold and providing false information.

Recession rests on Russia’s plans for gas
A severe recession in Europe is a “near certainty” if Russia turns off supplies of gas, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) says.
The economics consultancy said that, after a significant reduction in Russian gas exports to Germany, the European energy crisis had “reached another level of escalation” and the risk of recession had risen to 40 per cent.
The consequences were not limited to Germany. It said gas flowing through the TurkStream pipeline to Bulgaria was down by 50 per cent, while exports through the Yamal pipeline to Poland had stopped entirely, creating a pan-European crisis.

From the mundane to the quirky and outdated, Here's the Thing explores the histories and legends of the objects in our homes.
Wheelchair ramps may be a ubiquitous tool found in many parts of the world today, but that hasn't always been the case. While ramps, in general, have been around for millennia, ramps specifically designed for people with mobility issues weren't that common until the 1990s, thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that was signed into law on July 26, 1990, after U.S. citizens with disabilities battled for equality.
Video of the Day
If you've ever wondered about the history of wheelchair ramps, we've got the rundown right here.
When were wheelchair ramps invented? Who invented the wheelchair ramp?
Wheelchair ramps weren't invented by a single person at a single time — they were a natural extension of the general ramp. The ramp, also known as an inclined plane, is a tool that appeared on the scene both in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, but its original use wasn't for wheelchairs. The ancient Egyptians are thought to have used ramps to build pyramids as early as 4,500 years ago, according to History.com. Around the 7th or early 6th century B.C., per Amusing Planet, the Greeks also built a ramp called the Diolkos to transport ships across the Isthmus of Corinth.
In addition to using the tool to haul large objects, the ancient Greeks built ramps at many of their important religious sites and healing refuges. Some scholars argue that these particular ramps might have been used for accessibility — not just architectural flair — according to a paper published in the journal Antiquity in 2020.
Ramps that we know with certainty were built specifically for accessibility, however, are very much a modern invention. In 1913, for instance, New York City's Grand Central Terminal became the first "stairless" train station in the world, according to The New York Times. Though the station did have stairs, all of the public-access areas of the building were accessible via ramps. Architecture firm Reed and Stem tested various grades for the ramps, aiming to accommodate everyone from travelers with disabilities and the elderly to young children and people overloaded with baggage.
How did the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have an effect on wheelchair ramps?
While some 20th-century buildings were designed with accessibility in mind, wheelchair ramps weren't a legal obligation until 1990, when the ADA was passed by President George H.W. Bush — but only after Americans with disabilities fought for their rights. That act, which was most recently revised in 2010, "sets the minimum standards for accessibility for alterations and new construction of commercial facilities and privately owned public accommodations." It also requires existing public buildings to remove barriers — as long as it isn't difficult or costly.
In regard to wheelchair ramps, the ADA provides a set of measurements to which they must adhere. For instance, a ramp must have a slope with a ratio of 1:12 or less, be at least 36 inches wide, and have landings at its top and bottom that are at least 60 inches long. (You can see the full set of rules in the ADA's 2010 revision.)
How can wheelchair ramp design improve?
Though many buildings do have wheelchair ramps these days, they're often designed as an afterthought — and they're not particularly aesthetically attractive. Plus, the location of wheelchair ramps often subject wheelchair users to subpar experiences, such as having to enter a building from a back alley.
"Compliance-oriented design tends to miss the aesthetic and physical experience of going down a ramp. It should be beautiful, it should participate," design researcher Sara Hendren told The Atlantic. Architects and engineers should work to develop wheelchair ramps that are ADA-compliant, yet allow users to participate in a building's full design experience. Better yet — people with disabilities, including wheelchair users, should be consulted from the beginning. | https://www.hunker.com/13771595/wheelchair-ramp-history | 2022-07-04T01:41:03Z | https://www.hunker.com/13771595/wheelchair-ramp-history | true | 1 |

LAST RIDE...?
As of now, we have 5 players with only 1 year left on their contracts. Meaning that they’re entering their last season with us. In order of importance, the players are as follows: Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos, Borja Mayoral & Mariano Diaz. Our club has only tried to renew Kroos and Asensio. But to no avail with either players.
Crazy thing is that apart from Kroos, every other player with one year left on their deals are in their mid 20’s with the average age being 25. Toni Kroos may be planing to retire here sooner than we think, he’s said so in the past. Which could be why he hasn’t renewed. As usual, there’s a lot of talk around Ceballos getting a role increase, which is doubtful. And our club has accepted to let Mariano leave free of charge, no transfer fee, they just want him gone.
TRANSFER WINDOW
The transfer window is open, the rumors will soon pickup steam. Some clubs have already been doing business since before the window opened, others are about to get started. Our main priority now is to sell players. 10 years ago, and with this arsenal of young players that we don’t use. We could hold the market for a handsome ransom and would’ve walked out with close to 100+ Mil in sales/profit from all those players combined. But after Covid, today, we’d be lucky to get anything reasonable for them in total.Other wise new signings will be difficult and we’ll be stuck with rumors for another year. A name i won’t mind seeing here is Son, from spurs. I don’t like dealing with Levy but Son would be a good signing. He can also play right wing proper.
KUBO
I really wish the club would sort out Kubo’s future much sooner. This guy is extremely talented and can make it here. He’s on his way to Sociedad but they want a permanent deal and no loan.
LOAN WARRIORS
Personally, i’m tired of our Loan warriors. No More Loans for any first team member. Permanent moves only.

GBP/USD bulls take charge in the open
At 1.2115, GBP/USD is up on the day as the US dollar gives some of the territory made at the end of the week to the bears, elevating sterling ahead of the Tokyo open and main equities hour. The US dollar is caught between the balance of risk-off and concerns over the US economy. US data, such as that on Friday in the weakening manufacturing indicators have dominated markets and equities are vulnerable to the evidence of the slowdown.
GBP/USD Weekly Forecast: Nothing seems to stop GBP bears, 1.1933 appears at risk
The recent bearish consolidation recharged GBP sellers, who remained in force and smashed GBP/USD to two-week lows below 1.2000. Cable lost more than 200 pips over the week, snapping the previous week’s brief recovery. Markets now look forward to the FOMC June meeting’s minutes and the US Nonfarm Payrolls for a fresh direction in the major.

The Refugio County Commissioner Court unanimously approved an order prohibiting certain fireworks in unincorporated areas of the county during its June 14 meeting.
The order prohibits the sale, detonation, igniting and any use of fireworks classified as “skyrockets with sticks” or missiles with fins.
The order, drafted by the Texas Association of Counties, was prompted by the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. It will expire on the date the Texas A&M Forest Service determines drought conditions no longer exist in the county.
“There was a request made to our office by the fire chiefs that we limit fireworks,” said Refugio County Judge Robert Blaschke. “Since we are in a burn ban, they thought it would be a good idea to limit fireworks in the county as well.”
Refugio County Emergency Management/Safety Coordinator Sheldon Wiginton said the order is designed to “regulate any debris from falling back to the ground from an exploding firework.”
Blaschke asked the commissioners and Wiginton who would be assigned to enforce the order.
“This order is just a piece of paper unless it is enforced,” Blaschke said.
“I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable to have the fire chiefs in their respective towns go to fireworks stands,” said Precinct 3 Commissioner Gary Lee Wright. “I think they would carry more weight than if a commissioner showed up there.”
Possession of the prohibited fireworks could result in a Class B misdemeanor charge.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- How would you like to live forever? Maybe you'd like to be stronger, faster, and more agile while on this journey of immortality. If so, plants might be able to help you get there! Here's some steps on how plants can help you reach your goals from Backyard Farming Supply.
Solutions where you might not expect
While no, you obviously can't live forever, consuming certain organically grown foods may be able to help you live a healthier life and cut your chances of contracting serious illnesses, like cancer. With all these health benefits, it seems like getting some organic produce into your diet isn't just another craze – it's a way to protect yourself against disease and illness. If you're worried about where to start, start with what's most available in your area. Apples are always abundant in fall, so they're an easy place to start adding more fruit into your diet. Eating plant-based dishes is also a great option that many people don't take advantage of but are happy when they do.
Longevity is better understood in insects
By better understanding insect longevity, scientists hope to unlock insights into extending human life. For example, some genetic components have been discovered that extend lifespan by up to 50 percent in some species. Some research points to plants being responsible for extended life spans in insects such as fruit flies—but whether similar plant compounds can slow aging in humans.
A plant-based diet extends life
New studies show that a plant-based diet can extend life by giving animals better heart health and even helping repair DNA. Specifically, there's evidence that animal-based fats (found in red meat) have a negative effect on our heart health and DNA when consumed in large quantities. In contrast, plant-based fats (found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconut oil) do not appear to damage our hearts or DNA. One study at Harvard University compared two groups of subjects, one with a vegan diet and one with an omnivorous diet. The study found that those who were vegan had lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight, and risk of diabetes than those who followed an omnivorous diet.
Additionally, a separate study found that following a plant-based lifestyle may also slow down the effects of aging in cells—causing them to function like they were much younger! Scientists believe this may be due to the plants' antioxidant qualities, which reduce cell damage over time. These results suggest we should rethink how we treat cardiovascular disease and diabetes as more people choose vegetarian diets over their carnivorous counterparts.

Innovent Announces First Patient Dosed in a Phase 2 Clinical study of IBI112 (IL-23p19 Monoclonal Antibody) in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Active Ulcerative Colitis
SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China , July 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high quality medicines for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune, metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, announced that the first patient with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis has been successfully dosed in a Phase 2 clinical study (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05377580) of its innovative recombinant anti-interleukin 23p19 subunit antibody injection (R & D code: IBI112) in China.
The study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of IBI112 in the treatment of moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of IBI112 induction and maintenance therapy in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis. This is also the first Phase 2 clinical study of domestic innovative drugs targeting IL-23p19 for UC patients in China, which marks a significant milestone. Innovent will continue to leverage its fast execution capabilities in the clinical development and research and strive to provide better treatment options for UC patients.
Professor Minhu Chen from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University, the principal investigator of the study, stated, "The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis is complex, which is related to genetic, immune, environmental and other factors. Currently, the quality of life and mental health of patients with ulcerative colitis in China, especially those with refractory ulcerative colitis, are greatly affected, and new treatments are urgently needed. IBI112, a novel anti-IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody developed by innovative Chinese biopharmaceutical company, belongs to National Class 1 New Drug Category and has shown favorable safety and tolerability in Phase 1 clinical studys. We hope that IBI112 will be successful in the Phase 2 clinical study, and provide an alternative treatment option for Chinese patients with ulcerative colitis."
Dr. Qian Lei, Vice President of Clinical Development of Innovent, stated: "Ulcerative colitis is a kind of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by persistent and recurrent diarrhea, mucus pus and bloody stool, abdominal pain, and severe internal emergency. The number of patients has increased rapidly in the past 20 years. With the increase in incidence rate, ulcerative colitis has become a common digestive system disease in China. As a chronic inflammatory disease, in addition to the damage to physical health, it also seriously interferes with patients' daily life and has a huge negative impact on patients' psychological health. In recent years, a new generation of drugs targeting IL-23 has attracted special interests due to its excellent efficacy and favorable safety profile. IL-23 plays a key role in T cell-mediated response and is regarded as a pivotal initiator of immune-mediated diseases. IBI112 plays an anti-inflammatory role by blocking IL-23-mediated signaling pathway and has the potential to treat autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis and psoriasis. Currently, there is no self-developed IL-23p19 inhibitors on the market in China. Results from the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study of IBI112 has confirmed its favorable safety and tolerability profiles, and has preliminarily demonstrated its potential to serve a longer dosing interval and more patient-friendly treatment regimen. We are greatly encouraged that it can provide strong foundation for the subsequent clinical development. Based on this, we are confident in collaborating with our study sites to advance the clinical development of IBI112 in moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis as well as other indications to fulfill our mission of providing high-quality innovative biopharmaceutical products that are affordable to ordinary people."
About IBI112
IBI112 is a monoclonal antibody independently developed by Innovent, with proprietary intellectual property rights. This product specifically binds to IL-23p19 subunit, thereby preventing IL-23 from binding to cell surface receptors, resulting in the inhibition of IL-23 receptor-mediated signaling pathway. Preclinical data of IBI112 demonstrated that it has a clear target and well-elucidated mechanism of action, and significant anti-inflammatory effect. It has been verified to be safe and well tolerated in phase 1 clinical study. IBI112 may provide a more effective treatment option for patients with inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis and other autoimmune diseases.
About Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by mucosal inflammation of the colon and rectum, with typical symptoms such as recurrent diarrhea, mucus, pus and blood stool with abdominal pain, and urgency. UC is a serious threat to physical health and has an impact on daily life and mental health for patients. UC is common in Europe and North America. And in China, the prevalence rate has been increasing gradually in the past 20 years with a prevalence rate of 11.6/100000. UC is more common diagnosed in young and middle-aged people. The clinical treatment of UC is mainly medication and surgical treatment. Thiopurine is the most traditional immunosuppressant, however the incidence of adverse reactions is high. In terms of biologics, anti-TNF-α Monoclonal antibodies have problems such as loss of response caused by immunogenicity. In recent years, drugs targeting IL12 and IL 23 have shown advantages in efficacy and safety in the treatment of UC. At present, there is no self-developed IL-23p19 inhibitors for the treatment of ulcerative colitis in China, and there is still a huge unmet clinical need.

Read Psalm: 139:13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
When I got stationed to Germany back in 2007, I was excited to learn more about my heritage and quickly discovered not only were there Gramlings in Germany, there was a German “Stadt” (town) named Gramling. So once while traveling, I took a four-hour detour to visit. As I drove I could not help but imagine what I would find. As I saw the first sign stating that “GRAMLING” was just a few kilometers ahead, I slowed down and excitedly kept my eyes peeled for what I assumed would be a thriving community complete with a Gramling Bakery and a Gramling Hofbrauhouse. Know what happened? I blinked and I MISSED IT! That’s right, the “town” of Gramling, is a small handful of houses and barns in the middle of nowhere, next to nothing. Undeterred, I walked into the nearest restaurant I could find and I approached a few Germans around a table and proudly announced, “Ich bin ein Gramling!”(I am a Gramling!) in my broken German. They looked at me over their drinks, shrugged their shoulders and ignored me! So much for thinking I was famous or important!
At times like this I’m so thankful the Bible says God personally formed and shaped us in our mother’s womb. What could make us more important than being hand crafted by the Master of the universe? So let‘s not look to what we can do or be in this life for a sense of value, but rather to who and what God says we are. As a Christian, I believe God loved me so much that he sent his one and only Son to die for my sin and rise from the dead to promise me life eternal! God’s word tells me I’m forgiven, justified, adopted, sanctified, and a host of other wonderful positional truths. As I reflect on these truths, I don’t have to have a town named after me to feel important! If you are looking for ultimate purpose and meaning, come to our faith communities here at Fort Irwin and allow us to help you draw near to God! | https://www.aerotechnews.com/ntcfortirwin/2022/07/03/chaplains-corner-5/ | 2022-07-04T02:36:19Z | https://www.aerotechnews.com/ntcfortirwin/2022/07/03/chaplains-corner-5/ | true | 1 |

For the first time in over two years, Hungrybox is back at the top of the Super Smash Bros. Melee mountain after surviving three straight rounds against iBDW and Jmook to win it all at Get On My Level 2022.
For Hbox, who was the first player to ever be ranked the top Melee player in the world for three consecutive years, from 2017 to 2019, he had a slight dip in offline results once tournaments started coming back in late 2021.
And, while that dip only extended to finishing in the top six rather than dominating every Melee event, it was still a drop compared to his previous dominant play.
However, over the last several events, Hbox started climbing the ladder and challenging top performers to competitive sets and asserting himself again—despite some recent controversy surrounding ledge-grab limits and stalling.
His crowning moment at GOML came in the fourth round of the winner’s bracket where he finally defeated one of his biggest bracket demons, ending an 0–10 losing streak to iBDW with a 3–2 win. Though iBDW did kind of get the last laugh with a reverse pop-off after losing.
On the other side of the bracket, Jmook overcame Zain in 3–2 reverse sweep that saw him zero-to-deathing the Marth player off of a cc dash grab while at 170 percent damage. And he had to reverse sweep him again in loser’s finals after losing to Hbox, joining just a handful of players to ever beat Zain that way.
In the runback against Hbox in grand finals, history repeated itself with the Jigglypuff legend completing a second straight 3–1 win after dropping the first game in each set—improving his overall record against Jmook to 6–0 all time.
This was Hbox’s first Major win since Smash Summit 9 in Feb. 2020 and his third GOML title overall, joining GOML 2015 and 2018 on his resume. The other stand-out was Joshua “Joshman” Lyras, coming in from Australia to take fourth for his highest Major finish ever. | https://dotesports.com/fgc/news/hungrybox-wins-first-super-smash-bros-melee-title-in-two-years-at-get-on-my-level-2022 | 2022-07-04T02:44:42Z | https://dotesports.com/fgc/news/hungrybox-wins-first-super-smash-bros-melee-title-in-two-years-at-get-on-my-level-2022 | false | 1 |
My club has started to offer a team-of-four option to the penny Chicago game. Eight players draw cards: The four highest and four lowest cards make up the teams. They can decide on what the partnerships will be. They play an eight-deal match for 50 cents an IMP, plus ten dollars to each of the winners.
“I played in one of those matches,” Cy the Cynic told me in the lounge, “and I drew Rose, Millard and Ed. We decided Rose and I would play together, and Ed would try to cope with Millard.”
Ed is my club’s best player. Rose is competent. Millard Pringle doesn’t have a clue; he often gets lost in the maze of bridge “rules.”
“How did you come out?” I asked.
“We won by five IMPs,” Cy said, “thanks to this deal.”
Cy told me that Ed had opened 1NT as South, and when West overcalled in spades, Millard raised to 3NT!
“The man’s a fruitcake,” the Cynic said. “I guess he wanted Ed to be declarer no matter what. Maybe Millard would have shown his diamonds if he’d had 0-0-8-5 distribution.
“Against 3NT, West led the king of spades to dummy’s ace.”
“If Ed leads a diamond to the ace next, he goes down,” I observed. “He can’t get back to dummy to finesse with the ten and get back again to run the diamonds. If he concedes a diamond to East’s queen, a shift to the jack of hearts is fatal.”
“At Trick Two,” Cy said, “Ed led a diamond to the ten! He was safe for nine tricks even if West won. As it was, Ed made an overtrick. At the other table, North-South bid to six diamonds — an unlucky contract — and went down. We gained 12 IMPs, and maybe we deserved a few of them.”

Summer movies are still a thing, they're just in different places now. Skip the cineplex and stick with Hulu, because Hulu has a bunch of new movies (and shows) coming this July. First up is the Hulu original action-comedy The Princess (July 1), starring Joey King as a medieval princess who decides to literally fight her way out of an arranged marriage to a total jerk. Later in the month is the eye-opening Hulu original documentary Aftershock (July 19), which looks at the disproportionate mortality rate among Black women after childbirth. There's also Johnny Depp's Minamata, The Bob's Burgers Movie, the horror film The Cursed, Zac Efron's Gold, the Irish horror film You Are Not My Mother, and the suspenseful British thriller All My Friends Hate Me. And that doesn't include all the usual licensed films coming at the top of the month. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652948989576/is-snowflake-mountain-scripted-the-scoop-on-netflix-s-new-reality-show | 2022-07-04T02:51:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652948989576/is-snowflake-mountain-scripted-the-scoop-on-netflix-s-new-reality-show | true | 15 |
ALDERSON, WV (WVNS)–The famed Alderson Independence Day Celebration is back.
And it’s one of the largest celebrations of the entire year in the Mountain State.
Folks come from all across West Virginia and beyond to celebrate America’s birthday. Briton Kirby, who’s on the committee for this event, has been creating memories for families for half of his life.
He said they’re glad they can have the chance to do it again.
“It’s great to be back I mean that’s the best thing. We were worried about COVID hurting us really bad but we bounced back really well and this celebration has done excellent. We’re excited about what we’ve had this year and what the future holds for us,” Kirby said.
And father and daughter Shawn and Isabella Romano say they’re almost notorious in the Canoe Races. They’ve competed and won in all races except one time when they came in second place. Isabella says the Alderson celebration is a part of their family tradition.
“Every other weekend, when it was my dad’s weekend, he would bring me and my sister here we would play, kayak and whatnot and Alderson fourth of July was something we were always here for,” Romano said.
Shawn Romano said it’s important to celebrate the freedoms we have today.
“It’s a celebration of our country and family and getting to spend time with our friends and family is just fantastic,” Romano said. | https://www.wvnstv.com/top-stories/celebrating-americas-birthday-in-alderson/ | 2022-07-04T02:52:55Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/top-stories/celebrating-americas-birthday-in-alderson/ | true | 1 |

There are many reasons you may choose a vegan yoghurt over the dairy type. You may be lactose intolerant, intolerant of all dairy foods, a vegan who avoids all animal products, or simply enjoy the taste. Vegan yoghurts are part of the new era of foods that are entirely plant-based and in their making kinder to the planet.
But first let’s get the semantics right, lest we inadvertently tick off the SA agriculture department, which has been taking on the plant-based meat industry over names such as “sausages”and “burgers”. Yoghurt and milk are sure to follow, and the industry might be obliged to come up with new names. ..

Backstreet’s back in Western New York for the first time in years and one member of the boy band is calling his shot.
The Buffalo Bills are winning Super Bowl LVII.
Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys fired the crowd up at the Darien Lake Amphitheater on Sunday night when he told the crowd that he grew up watching the Bills. He followed that up with his Super Bowl prediction and asked fans in attendance to make sure it hit the internet.
“I’m a Buccaneers fan, but I also have the Buffalo Bills in my heart,” Carter told the Darien Lake crowd. “When I was a really little kid, I grew up watching the Buffalo Bills,” Carter told the crowd after admitting to being a Buccaneers fan. “So I’m going to make a prediction right now. Go ahead, put it in your phones. Save it right here and put it on the internet. Buffalo Bills are going to win the Super Bowl this year. I’m calling it. You heard it right here. Mark the date. The day before the Fourth of July. Nick Carter called it.”
You can see the video below.
Based on the response, it’s clear that Bills fans want it that way.
Carter’s prediction, albeit a crowd pleaser, is far from bold. Oddsmakers currently have the Bills as the favorite to win this year’s Super Bowl.
If Josh Allen and the Bills hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year, they’ll be viewed as larger than life in Western New York.

Whitehorse Superstore limiting number of essential item purchases due to highway closure
The Alaska Highway serves as the main roadway connecting the Yukon to B.C.
A road washout that has restricted vehicle travel between Yukon and B.C. has led to the Whitehorse Superstore limiting the number of essential items customers can purchase.
The Alaska Highway, which was closed Friday after a section was severely damaged, serves as a major artery for the territory's supply chain.
The Real Canadian Superstore (Whitehorse, Yukon) posted on Facebook, and an employee confirmed, that the store would be limiting essential products to two per customer.
This includes toilet paper, paper towels, milk, eggs, water, flour and sugar.
Andy Paulson, a Whitehorse resident, said in an interview with CBC News on Saturday that he saw lineups at the Superstore after the road closure was announced.
He said the last time the road closed, in 2012, there were instances of people hoarding essential products.
The highway was damaged on Friday on the B.C. side of the border, 125 kilometres north of the Liard Hot Springs.
The damage was caused by water pooling between Fireside Maintenance Camp and Allen's Lookout, a scenic spot along the highway, according to Drive B.C., a provincial road and traffic update website.
In its latest update, on Saturday evening, Drive B.C. said the road remains closed and assessment is in progress.
Krysten Johnson, a spokesperson for the Yukon Department of Highways and Public Works, said via email that, "while not ideal," highway 37, the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, remains open. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/whitehorse-superstore-limiting-number-of-essential-item-purchases-due-to-highway-closure-1.6509230?cmp=rss | 2022-07-04T03:40:00Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/whitehorse-superstore-limiting-number-of-essential-item-purchases-due-to-highway-closure-1.6509230?cmp=rss | true | 1 |

Louisville on track for triple digit homicide numbers for third year in a row
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Babies, mothers, young teens. No age group has escaped Louisville’s gunfire. That’s even at some of the city’s most iconic public places.
The homicide rate has gone up every year since 2019. Hitting triple digits- something that wasn’t heard of just a few years ago. That’s no longer the case.
June was full of violent headlines including a mom and her toddler being shot, and bullets flying at the big four bridge. We’re halfway through 2022 and so far there have been 87 homicides.
“The gun issue in America has gone unchecked for so long. That we are clearly at a crisis point. that as law enforcement we’re just managing.”
LMPD Chief Erika Shields said that on June 13th after four separate shootings all happened within 26 hours. That includes the shooting at the Big Four Bridge where six people were injured. Police believe it all started over a scooter.
The violence has continued since then.
“We had 15 fatal homicides in the month of June. We had 36 individuals in a separate category that got wounded by gunfire,” said Game Changers Executive Director Christopher 2X.
2X is concerned about the trend Louisville is on. In 2021, the city reached a new record of 188 homicides.
“When you look at the pattern from 20, 21, and 22. It’s clear now that we’re still trending in a horrible direction of a hundred fatals a year,” 2X said.
July is already off to a bloody start.
“It was horrible the first two days of July. Especially as it relates to kids. We had three juveniles that have impacted by reckless shootings. One child has unfortunately passed away. And then we got one that’s in critical condition, and another child is still recovering from that gun shot wound.”
2X says kids don’t have to be directly related to a shooting to be affected by it. Just being around gun shots and crime scenes impacts their worldview.
“It can throw them off their focus when they try to go back into school and learn. And equally at the same time can affect their world where they don’t fee safe and they don’t feel like they have a thriving and inhabitable environment to grow.”
There’s been four shootings and two stabbings in the first three days of July. Two people have died and seven are still recovering.

– Hey guys, I’m making a video here because there’s a crowd that couldn’t go to the game, they won’t be able to go next Saturday for our farewell. I’m making this video there, oh Seu João, Seu Robson, you know I like you, the affection I have. Asking you there, if you can give up, young man, the Ceará fans. I know that Fluminense always does the business of giving away the right, they are giving away the tickets that you are entitled to, but let’s give it up, Ceará fans will also understand and stop coming to our game. It’s because it’s a special moment, the people are crying here, young man. Everybody wanting to go, saying, “Fred, find a way.” Then I’m asking. See what you do for us there, Seu João. Give us a moral there, young man. Libera, I think it’s two thousand tickets. You’re crazy, there’s a baby crying here. You can’t make a train like that, no.
While interacting with fans (and even defender Nino), Fred revealed that he has a dream of making a friendly match between the 2009 Fluminense team, that of the surprising run that went against the math and escaped relegation; and the 2012 Brazilian champion team.
The lineup in 2009 in the final game against Coritiba had: Rafael, Gum, Cássio and Dalton; Mariano, Diogo, Maurício, Marquinho and Conca; Alan and Fred.
The lineup in 2012 in the title game against Palmeiras had: Diego Cavalieri, Bruno, Gum, Leandro Euzébio and Carlinhos; Edinho, Jean, Rafael Sobis and Thiago Neves; Wellington Nem and Fred.

ByteDace, responsible for the official TikTok, denies having any involvement in the project and warns the public not to confuse the two services, as they recently received a notification from the public prosecutor in Brazil.
Application that imitates TikTok, despite working, does not have good levels of data security
Google Play and iOS did not accept the app in their stores, so whoever downloads it, looks for an external source. And this is the main danger, because any external link can be of dubious origin. The chance of it being malware increases, resulting in data theft and increasing cyberattacks on your networks.
For those who have already downloaded the application, an antivirus should be downloaded urgently, preventing further damage. Especially people who use the Android system, more susceptible to intruders. However, try to stay away from platforms that do not have security authentication, even if they work normally, appearing to have no errors. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/04/tiktok-18-offers-risks-see-how-the-pirated-version-of-the-app-works/ | 2022-07-04T03:52:49Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/04/tiktok-18-offers-risks-see-how-the-pirated-version-of-the-app-works/ | true | 2 |

Genshin Impact 3.0 leaks have revealed that players may be receiving a free copy of Collei, the game's first Dendro 4-star. Collei is a very popular character and was the main focus of the game's official webtoon. She will finally become playable in the 3.0 update, and fans may not even have to spend any Primogems to acquire her.
Collei will be a powerful addition to a party, bringing some unique Dendro abilities to aid her teammates in battle. Players can find out more about these free 4-star Collei leaks here.
Genshin Impact 3.0 leaker claims that Collei will be free
According to Genshin Impact 3.0 leaks, players may be receiving Collei as a free unit during the 3.0 update. This would fit with the pattern of the game providing players with at least one free unit from each Element, allowing them to make sure they can take advantage of all of the elements the game has to offer.
Dendro has been something players have been waiting for ever since the game was released, and not having a dedicated unit outside of the Traveler may pose some issues while exploring Sumeru.
Having a free copy of Collei will make managing Dendro puzzles a lot easier, along with giving players the opportunity to use her unique skills in their party. Collei has a very interesting kit, with the ability to utilize a massive boomerang in combat and create a huge zone of AOE (area of effect) Dendro damage. She is perfect for fans who are trying to experiment with the new element, and players will definitely want to give her a try when she gets released.
Collei will wield a bow in combat alongside the Dendro element, and she also has a small companion that she can send out to deal damage to her foes. With her Elemental Skill, she tosses out a boomerang that will deal Dendro damage to enemies when it connects and also on the way back. With her Elemental Burst, she tosses out her companion to deal AOE Dendro damage, leaving a damaging zone behind after the explosion.
Collei performs similarly to Amber in combat, making it even more likely that players will receive a free copy of her to use in-game. It's likely that she will come across the Traveler as they enter Sumeru and join their party to help lead them to the main city of the new region.
Collei has become a scout in Sumeru, and her skills in navigating the region will be of great use to the Traveler as they traverse this new area. Fans will want to keep an eye out for any more information concerning Collei as the new update draws closer. Her Dendro abilities may be the key to unlocking much of what Sumeru has to offer, and fans won't want to miss out on adding her to their parties.

The Spanish stars that join the fashion of meditation
Among foreign stars, especially Anglo-Saxon, it is very common. Meditate movie people like Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves, Lena Dunham, Cameron Diaz, arnold schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey, liv tyler, Clint Eastwood either Martin Scorsese. Models like Elle MacPherson either Gisele Bundchen. Also singers like Paul MCCARTNEY, Moby either Katy Perry. And TV stars like Oprah Winfrey.
In Spain, the great promoter is Paul Motorcycleswho already in 2020 dedicated a few minutes of the program to convincing the audience of the virtues of meditation, using as live and direct guinea pigs Brown, the altar boy Y Luis Piedrahita. «I know that there are many people when they hear about meditation or relaxation and just saying the word makes them nervous. And it has an explanation: because the body becomes defensive », he began explaining her. It was an introductory course: “The real meditations for twenty minutes or an hour,” she detailed.
That same year 2020, the model and actor Jon Kortajarena He wrote on his Instagram about the virtues of this technique: «Almost all of us suffer from anxiety, depression and anguish at some point in life. It is not something to be ashamed of. On the contrary, facing that is brave. I started doing breathing and meditation work a little over a month ago, and although it sounds like a cliché, I assure you that it has changed my life. The power of breathing and consciousness is enormous », he recounted in a post.
Motos returned to the fray last February, taking advantage of the visit to the actor’s set Alex Gonzalez. That day, the presenter recounted his initiation: «I began to meditate because I gossip to the vast majority of Hollywood actors who come here to see what I get out of them, to see what I copy from them. This doing something or like something… Being a Hollywood actor must be something very complicated and the people who were focused all told you: ‘I meditate every morning’. And in the end I say: ‘Holy shit, I’m going to do it too’. And I’m doing very well. If you feel like it, there are easy guided medications on the Internet.”
Álex González told how his guru was Motos himself: «You gave me a book that I loved, called stop being youof Joe Dispenza. Among other things, it talks about how to create our own reality through words and thoughts».
“Investigating, through the meditations of Joe DispenzaI appeared in the Silva method that, through meditation is also a way to connect with your subconscious. It is very long to explain and, in fact, I don’t know if I am ready to explain it, but through meditations, you manage to put your mental state in a state that is called alpha, which is like lowering the mental frequency, and it seems to be, I I don’t know for sure, but it seems that in that mental state you are more open to your subconscious, which, as you know, is more than 90% more than your conscious and that, really, is very interesting. You are connected, ”the actor extended. “When you are in alpha, which is the opposite of having anxiety, you are very relaxed and you feel like you are part of the universe,” said the presenter.
Álex left a piece of advice for the uninitiated. «I spent many years trying to meditate and I got very frustrated because I couldn’t meditate and it’s because I didn’t know that there were several types of meditation. I used to do passive meditation, which is ‘leave your mind blank’, which is impossible, and I discovered that there is another type of meditation, which is the Silva method, which is an active meditation, in which you can move, you don’t have why be still It’s not like you’re walking, either, but if it itches, you can scratch it. And it is a meditation that is not to leave your mind blank, but to bring to your mind thoughts that you have, order them, place them».
They both ended up talking about happiness. «It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about this, but in the end, what everyone wants is to be happy and what we spend the least time on is being happy. And spend some time in your life to see how you are… Meditating is something that I think is not even a thing for everyone. It is something that you sit down to do nothing and, then, everything happens there. At first your brain doesn’t want you to do that because it’s going to change.” motorcycles. «I do notice that it helps me make better decisions, because you are calmer, calmer, more in touch with your desire, with what you want, and more in contact with the desire of others. To put it in some way, it makes you a better person.” Gonzalez. | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/04/the-spanish-stars-that-join-the-fashion-of-meditation/ | 2022-07-04T04:16:13Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/04/the-spanish-stars-that-join-the-fashion-of-meditation/ | true | 1 |
Missouri Water Patrol rewards kids wearing life jackets at the Lake of the Ozarks
LAKE OZARK, Mo. (KY3) - Ameren Missouri and the Missouri Water Patrol are teaming up to promote boating safety.
Kids spotted wearing a life jacket will be rewarded a free t-shirt by troopers on the Fourth of July weekend.
“A day of boating at Lake of the Ozarks is a great way to celebrate Independence Day, but we want to make sure everyone does so safely,” said Captain Mike Petlanksy, MSHP water patrol division director. “Wearing a properly fitted life jacket is one of the best ways to stay safe on the water.”
The water patrol says to wear a well-fitted life jacket while boating or walking near water. It’s the law for kids under seven to have it on unless they’re inside the cabin of a houseboat.
“We have been doing this program for about ten years or even longer, so quite some time,” said Brian Geier, Missouri State Water Patrol. “It’s a good way to interact with the public on a positive level.”
Alongside the program, the water patrol ensures everyone abides by the lake’s laws on this busy Fourth of July weekend.
”Most of our calls have been safety-related reports of careless vessels which can include too close to docks or swimmers in the water,” said Geier. “We have made quite a few contacts and issued citations and tickets.”
Water Patrol says it is a hectic weekend, so expect to deal with traffic, and if you do water sports, go to a cove or a less populated area.

SYDNEY (July 4): Australia’s emergency services ordered thousands of people in Sydney to evacuate Monday as overflowing rivers swamped swathes of land and the city’s largest dam spilled torrents of water.
On the third day of torrential rains on the east coast, rescuers said they had saved about 20 people in the past 12 hours, many trapped in cars on flood-swept roads in New South Wales.
Australia has been at the sharp end of climate change, with droughts, deadly bushfires, bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef and floods becoming more common and intense as global weather patterns change.
Higher temperatures mean the atmosphere holds more moisture, unleashing more rain.
About 32,000 people were under evacuation orders or warnings in New South Wales, said Ashley Sullivan, senior official for the State Emergency Services.
“We have seen rivers rise fast, a lot quicker than expected,” Sullivan told national broadcaster ABC.
Waters in some areas may exceed levels reached in deadly flood disasters experienced on Australia’s east coast in the past two years, he said.
More than 20 people died in March this year as floodwaters lapped at rooftops and torrents swept cars off roads.
On Monday morning, mud-brown river waters had transformed a large stretch of land into a lake in the southwestern Sydney suburb of Camden.
Roads disappeared into the waters and mobile homes stood in knee-high water, at least one toppled on its side, television images showed.
Large volumes of water gushed from the Warragamba Dam, which has been spilling excess water since Sunday. The huge concrete dam lies on the western outskirts of Sydney and provides most of the city’s drinking water. – AFP | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/07/04/thousands-ordered-to-evacuate-from-sydney-floods/ | 2022-07-04T04:38:01Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/07/04/thousands-ordered-to-evacuate-from-sydney-floods/ | false | 9 |
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal on Sunday said it is the responsibility of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his government now to get OBC reservations from the Supreme Court. Amid the high-voltage political drama in Maharashtra, NCP held a meeting at Yashwantrao Chavan Centre auditorium on Sunday to discuss further course of action. Following the meeting, Bhujbal told reporters that the issue of OBC reservations was among the agendas of the meeting. "
Discussions related to OBC reservations were done in the meeting. We have submitted reports. Now, it is Deputy Chief Minister and his government's responsibility to get reservations from the Supreme Court," said the NCP leader. Asked about the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, Bhujbal said, "We are yet to decide on the name of the Opposition`s leader in the state Assembly."
Notably, a day after forming the new government in Maharashtra, State Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday held a meeting regarding the OBC reservation in Mantralaya in Mumbai. Maharashtra Chief Secretary Manukumar Srivastava, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pravin Darekar and Dr Sanjay Kute were also present in the meeting today. In March this year, the Supreme Court declined to accept the Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission's recommendation to restore 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the upcoming local body elections.

The then Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra decided to explore legal options for the restoration of Other Backward Classes (OBC) reservation in local bodies' polls.The issue was raked up by the BJP in the Maharashtra Assembly.The new Maharashtra government, which came to power after Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde's 10-day rebellion brought the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, will face the floor test on Monday, the second day of the special session of the state Legislative Assembly.

Fadnavis claimed that the Shinde government will prove its majority with 166 votes. At present, the BJP has 106 MLAs in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly and Shinde is leading 39 rebel Shiv Sena legislators and some Independents.
After the death of a Shiv Sena MLA recently, the current strength of the Assembly is reduced to 287, thus the majority mark is 144.Shinde-led camp and the BJP scored a big win on Sunday as BJP's Rahul Narwekar was elected as the Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly defeating Shiv Sena candidate Rajan Salvi. Interestingly, amid the ongoing battle between two Shiv Sena factions led by Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray, both sides issued separate whips to the party MLAs to vote in favour of their respective candidates during the speaker's election on Sunday and later accused each other of violating them.
Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant, who is in the Uddhav Thackeray camp, said that 39 party MLAs did not obey their whip adding that they have sought their disqualification from the state Assembly.However, Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar has taken on record the letter sent by Bharat Gogawale, who is Chief Whip of the Eknath Shinde-led faction. Gogawale said that 16 MLAs Shiv Sena violated the whip.Narwekar received a total of 164 votes in support and 107 went to the Shiv Sena candidate`s account.
During the Speaker elections, 12 members were absent and 3 legislators abstained from the voting. In the latest development, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Sena has also started the legal process to disqualify 16 MLAs, including Shinde.

In pictures: Deadly shooting at mall in Copenhagen
The terrorist threat against Denmark is currently assessed to be "serious", with the biggest threat coming from "militant Islamism", according to the latest report from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service
- Several killed, several injured in mall shooting
- Police say have arrested one suspect
- Footage shows people fleeing in panic
- Currently nothing to suggest racist motive, police say
At least three people were killed and several more were woundedin a shooting at a shopping centre in Copenhagen on Sunday, Danish police said, adding they had arrested a 22-year-old Danish man and charged him with manslaughter.
The attack rocked Denmark at the end of an otherwise joyful week, just after it hosted the first three stages of the Tour de France cycle race. The event had sent hundreds of thousands of cheering Danes into the streets across the country.
The attack follows a deadly shooting in neighbouring Norway last week, in which two people were killed by a lone shooter in the capital Oslo.
Denmark last saw a militant attack in 2015, when two people were killed and six police officers wounded when a lone gunman shot and killed a man outside a culture centre hosting a debate on freedom of speech, and later killed a person outside a Jewish synagogue in central Copenhagen. That gunman was killed in a shoot-out with police. | https://www.tbsnews.net/worldbiz/europe/pictures-deadly-shooting-mall-copenhagen-452470 | 2022-07-04T04:39:34Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/worldbiz/europe/pictures-deadly-shooting-mall-copenhagen-452470 | false | 1 |

Which Xerox printers are best?
The Xerox name is so synonymous with copying and printing that it is commonly used as a verb, as in “Would you please Xerox this for me?” Xerox makes printers for both home and commercial use that are designed to be easily set up and maintained by the user with no need for IT involvement. If you want Xerox’s best multifunction printer, take a look at the WorkCentre 6515/DN Color Multifunction Printer. It is optimized for high-resolution images and is loaded with features.
What to know before you buy a Xerox printer
Functions
Xerox makes 14 different dedicated printers and 20 multifunction printers that not only print but also copy and scan documents and send emails.
Office vs. home
Once, the difference between printers for the office and printers for the home was clear. Office printers were built to work all day and needed to handle high volumes at high speeds. Printers for the home were scaled-down versions of office printers. Not any longer, though. So many people are working from home offices that they need a dedicated printer or a multifunction printer made every bit as well as the ones businesses use.
Types
Inkjet printers print by spraying tiny dots of ink onto the page. They have lower upfront costs but higher ongoing costs because you need to buy expensive replacement inks. They print with a higher resolution than most laser printers and so are better for printing photos, works of art and graphics. Inkjet printers generally print fewer pages per minute than laser printers.
Laser printers use dry ink called toner. Laser printers use a small electrostatic charge to transfer the toner to the paper. Laser printers have high print speeds and are great for people who print a lot of documents.
Color capability
Xerox has 13 monochrome black-and-white printers and 21 full-color models.
Specialty printing
Most Xerox printers print standard 8.5-by-11-inch letter size images. Tabloid-sized printers are built to handle paper stock up to 11 by 17 inches.
Print volume
Xerox has three printers made to handle monthly volumes of 5,000 pages or fewer, nine made to deliver up to 10,000 pages a month and 14 ultra-high-volume workhorse printers built to print as many 50,000 pages a month.
Print speed
Choose from 12 Xerox printers that print up to 35 pages per minute, 12 more that print up to 50 pages a minute, and four models that print at 50 PPM, or nearly one page per second.
To learn even more about Xerox printers, take a look at the full Xerox printer buying guide from BestReviews.
What to look for in a quality Xerox printer
To narrow your choices from the dozens of printers Xerox makes, take a look at its product lines.
Xerox B Series: This is Xerox’s line of black-ink stand-alone and multifunction printers (MFPs). They are ultra quiet and have compact footprints and built-in W-iFi capabilities.
Xerox C Series: This is Xerox’s family of color printers and MFPs. Like the B Series, the C-Series printers are ultra quiet with compact footprints and built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.
Phaser printers: This is your choice if all you want to do is print. Xerox Phaser printers have small footprints and are available with a wide range of features, including Wi-Fi, automatic duplexing, high-quality image resolution and heightened security features.
WorkCentre MFPs: These are Xerox’s all-in-one multifunction printer, copier and scanner machines. They are at the top of the Xerox lines and the ones most popular with consumers.
How much you can expect to spend on a Xerox printer
Xerox has 10 printers that cost $500 or less and eight that cost between $500-$1,000. Xerox makes and sells 14 different printers that cost more than $1,000.

Can you buy whatever replacement inks you want?
A. Each type of Xerox printer requires a specific ink or toner to operate at its maximum efficiency. Some generic inks and off-brand inks perform adequately, but not all. Balance what you save with the quality of your printed materials.
How much of a difference does the paper make?
A. It depends a great deal on what you are printing and how the finished product will be used. The weight and thickness of the paper used in your printing jobs make big differences in quality and cost. Professional reports, presentations and resumes call for heavier, thicker stock, as do photographs, graphics and works of art. For drafts of reports and presentations, cheaper paper is fine.

The club, which kicks off its pre-season campaign with a behind-closed-doors game against Gateshead on Saturday. That fixture is followed by a series of games in Austria and Portugal while the club’s training ground is updated and extended.
“The games are really important,” said Howe. “This training now is about trying to develop the team, and how we want to play the game.
“The schedule’s based, in part, around our training ground, which is having a lot of work around it currently. The two trips away, we probably normally would only have one. We’ve gone for two just to stay away from the disruption of the changes.
“The games, we tried to get really competitive games. We want to be tested. I think the games scheduled will be tough. I think that will make us ready for the league.” | https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/behind-the-scenes-newcastle-united-training-ground-disruption-addressed-by-eddie-howe-3754536 | 2022-07-04T05:07:29Z | https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/behind-the-scenes-newcastle-united-training-ground-disruption-addressed-by-eddie-howe-3754536 | true | null |
“I am convinced that France …”, Jamel Debbouze more cash than ever on what he thinks of his compatriots!
A week after Diam’s, many viewers were waiting for the interview with Jamel Debbouze in Sept à Huit. In answering questions from Audrey Crespo-Mara, the one who has just celebrated the tenth anniversary of Marrakech du Rire confided frankly on his family life, the choice of first name of his children so commented (Léon and Lila: editor’s note), but also on France, this country which he loves so much and which does not always return it to him. Despite some difficult times in his life, the comedian loves France more than anything and proved it once again this Sunday, July 3.
“I I am profoundly French, body and soul!”, he assures us straight away before the journalist comes to the subject which arouses the most debate: “The choice of first names for your children, some saw it as proof of assimilation and others as betrayal. Do you understand that?”. Jamel Debbouze assures him, he fully understands that some take it as a “treason” but that would be none other than the result of public opinion: “I understand that she has (public opinion : editor’s note) her opinion and that she says what she wants when she wants, when she has to say it”. However, “when others trade in it” to “divide us or pit us against each other”, Mélissa Theuriau’s companion finds this “ridiculous… I don’t fit in there at all”.
“I was born in France, I am French”
In the rest of the interview Audrey Crespo-Mara wanted to know if the one who is often told that he is “funnier on television” had the impression that the country was moving forward, especially on the subject first names. “I have the impression that we are progressing. It’s very, very slow, very subtle, but we are progressing”. But again, it came down to the often ill-intentioned people who trade in the wrong things. “Afterwards, I have the impression that we trade in everything that does not progress and everything that does not progress. And opposing us sells. The last presidential elections we had the impression that one in two French people was racist because they voted for Le Pen”, he regrets.
Despite everything, Jamel Debbouze l assertive and optimistic. “But I’m sure that France is not racist. It was more of a vote of misery, a complaint against Macron. I don’t want to believe that France is racist. That’s me impossible to think that. I have done 25 times around France and I have played everywhere, I know my country”, a -he tried to reassure himself.

Effective September 6, 2022, United Airlines will no longer operate the non-stop flight between Texarkana Regional Airport (“TXK”) and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Airline officials reviewed their market demand and concluded that passenger bookings were not growing at the pace needed to outweigh operational expenses. Additionally, like all U.S. airlines right now, United has struggled to work through the nationwide pilot and crew shortage, something that has continued to grow in 2022.
Airport Director, Paul Mehrlich, was disappointed to learn of United’s decision but assures the Texarkana and Ark-La-Tex community this will not hinder the airport’s ability to attract new air service in the future. “It is very unfortunate to see United leave TXK, however, we will continue to strengthen our partnership with American Airlines and aggressively look for ways to create opportunities to add more destinations and possibly carriers.” Mehrlich said United’s decision should not be viewed as a flaw on the Texarkana community, rather a slow recovery in passenger travel in a post-pandemic world. “We realize this was a business decision, and we appreciate United’s willingness to give us a chance during a difficult time.”
The airline’s decision to end service comes in the wake of the airport recording its 4th consecutive month of United passenger growth since beginning operations February 13, 2022. Each month, airport forecasts had United passenger load numbers greater than the previous month and showed the rise continuing through August. Mehrlich noted the airport has seen a substantial increase in airport utilization since United came onboard and even mentioned the vehicle parking lot had reached capacity for the first time in airport history.
Mehrlich said the airport will continue talking to its current carrier, American Airlines, about expanding their service at TXK. “We will take this news and create opportunities from it. We know our community has an interest in a route going east, and we fully plan to actively pursue that possibility. The airport still has a bright future ahead.” Though the news about United leaving TXK isn’t positive, airport officials are encouraging the local community and region to keep utilizing TXK, creating a demand for continued growth and more air service. “Passenger utilization is a key factor in airlines determining whether to begin, continue or end air service to airports. It is extremely vital that our community continues to use TXK which creates a need to grow existing air service as well as go to more places.”
TXK still has three daily, nonstop flights to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on American Airlines. With a simple connection in Dallas, the Texarkana and Ark-La-Tex community can connect to many worldwide destinations, minutes from their doorstep.

Sri Lanka energy minister warns petrol stocks about to run dry
- Published
Sri Lanka's energy minister has issued a stark warning over the country's fuel stocks as it faces its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years.
On Sunday, Kanchana Wijesekera said the nation only had enough petrol left for less than a day under regular demand.
He also said its next petrol shipment was not due for more than two weeks.
Last week, Sri Lanka suspended sales of petrol and diesel for non-essential vehicles as it struggles to pay for imports like fuel, food and medicines.
Mr Wijesekera told reporters that the country had 12,774 tonnes of diesel and 4,061 tonnes of petrol left in its reserves.
"The next petrol shipment is expected between the 22nd and 23rd [of July]," he added.
A shipment of diesel is expected to arrive at the weekend, however Mr Wijesekera warned that the country does not have enough money to pay for planned fuel and crude oil imports.
He said Sri Lanka's central bank could only supply $125m for fuel purchases, far less than the $587m needed for its scheduled shipments.
Mr Wijesekera added that the country owed $800m to seven suppliers for purchases it made earlier this year.
It came after Sri Lanka banned sales of fuel for private vehicles until next week.
Experts believe it is the first country to take the drastic step of halting sales of petrol to ordinary people since the 1970s oil crisis, when fuel was rationed in the US and Europe.
The island nation of 22 million people is facing its worse economic crisis since gaining independence from the UK in 1948 as it lacks enough foreign currency to pay for imports of essential goods.
Acute shortages of fuel, food and medicines have helped to push up the cost of living to record highs in the country, where many people rely on motor vehicles for their livelihoods.
Last Thursday, an International Monetary Fund team concluded a fresh round of talks with Sri Lanka over a $3bn (£2.5bn) bailout deal.
While no agreement has been reached yet, the team said in a statement that it had made "significant progress on defining a macroeconomic and structural policy package".
It added that it had "witnessed some of the hardships currently faced by the Sri Lankan people, especially the poor and vulnerable who are affected disproportionately by the crisis".
The cash-strapped country has also sent officials to the major energy producers Russia and Qatar in a bid to secure cheap oil supplies. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62032542 | 2022-07-04T05:25:43Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62032542 | true | 4 |
Which ASUS mesh WiFi system is best?
Are you constantly frustrated by an indoor or outdoor area that stubbornly refuses to pick up your WiFi signal and running ethernet cable would be too difficult or expensive? If so, a mesh WiFi system from ASUS may be your ideal solution for ensuring connectivity in otherwise inaccessible areas. With a top-of-the-line unit like the ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System, your home or business can enjoy the benefits of three lightning-fast networks, all backed by a lifetime security guarantee.
What to know before you buy an ASUS mesh WiFi system
Extra routers or extenders vs. mesh WiFi
For those who are unfamiliar with the basic means of increasing your WiFi and the number of devices it can support without suffering performance issues, the three methods are extenders, routers and mesh networks. To clarify, you can purchase an extender that amplifies your existing WiFi networks range, purchase a second wireless router to use as a repeater or a separate network or use a mesh WiFi system.
As opposed to installing more traditional WiFi routers and having to set up and wrangle several separate networks, mesh networks effectively allow multiple units to perform as a single network with consistent connection speeds. By doing so, any device within range will automatically connect to the most appropriate mesh node and router band to ensure uninterrupted service based on which node provides the strongest signal. In addition to providing WiFi in rooms and locations that would be otherwise inaccessible by a traditional wireless router, they do so far more efficiently than other comparable methods.
Reducing network hops
While mesh WiFi systems undoubtedly offer several significant advantages over typical wireless routers and network extenders, you may be gaining coverage by sacrificing overall bandwidth strength. To clarify, every time your mesh WiFi network “hops” from one node to another, it effectively diminishes the power of your bandwidth by half, so nodes at the extreme end of the hop can have issues accessing local servers or even being unable to connect to the internet.
Furthermore, an excess of nodes can also lead to notable decreases in latency, which can have a severe impact on certain applications, including VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol and streaming of both audio and video content. Thankfully, there are several ways to reduce the number of hops, such as creating point-to-point network shortcuts, creating a solid core network from the start with planning and connection testing and implementing several smaller clusters linking to a central location.
What to look for in a quality ASUS mesh WiFi system
Ease of setup and friendliness of user interface
One of the leading ASUS mesh WiFI systems that is capable of covering 5,500 square feet only requires a three-step installation process: turn on the router, create an overall network name and an administrator account, then wait for three minutes.
You can enjoy a significant boost to your home network by barely lifting a finger. Best of all, ASUS’s AiMesh system and compatible management app will make installing and monitoring your new mesh network a breeze.
Number of bands and overall network performance
Mesh networks come with built-in routers that are equipped with one to five bands, with each arrangement being increasingly more powerful than the last. Since the vast majority of American mesh networks are composed of one to three bands, a triple-band router offers a band for conventional WiFi as well as both a 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz band.
The 2.4Ghz band has a slower overall signal but sends signals over longer distances, whereas the 5.0Ghz band provides faster append over shorter distances. If you’re willing to spend the extra cash to ensure an uninterrupted internet connection, some ASUS mesh WiFi systems come equipped with an additional network specially designed to send internet traffic between the satellite nodes and the primary mesh router receiving the actual internet connection.
Set components
Just as with your everyday wireless WiFi routers, ASUS mesh WiFi systems come equipped with a wide variety of units, capabilities and price ranges. However, unlike some other manufacturers, an impressive number of ASUS routers, extenders and mesh routers can be connected into a massive network with as many bands and nodes as you need using their proprietary AiMesh technology.
AiMesh technology offers you several amazing features that go above traditional wireless routers, including the ability to self-heal connections if nodes fail or drop, automatically switch bands in the event of congestion and seamless roaming around your home or business. Rather than having to buy everything at once, you can add to your AiMesh system at the freedom of your own pace and budget. Whether you want all of your band to appear as a single network or have individual names and access requirements for each network, you can create your ideal mesh WiFi system without compromising on speed or signal strength.
How much you can expect to spend on an ASUS mesh WiFi system
Depending on the size of the area you want WiFi coverage for and any budget considerations, a quality ASUS mesh WiFI system can easily cost between $180-$415 and much more.
Best ASUS mesh WiFi system FAQ
Does a mesh WiFi system replace my router?
A. Technically, yes, since the main mesh node will contain a router that allows you to receive an internet connection in the first place.
Are mesh WiFi systems better than extenders?
A. While they are undoubtedly more expensive than extenders, mesh WiFi systems not only extend the range of your network much further they also provide much better performance.

Catherine Parr is usually remembered as the wife of Henry VIII who “survived.” What that nursery rhyme leaves out is she didn’t survive for long. A little over a year after Henry VIII’s death, Catherine Parr herself would die from complications from childbirth. It’s a grim part of Tudor history that takes center stage in Becoming Elizabeth Episode 4 “Lighten our Darkness.” Catherine Parr (Jessica Raine), a woman who has been a key political player in the Tudor court and the closest thing to a mother Princess Elizabeth (Alicia von Rittberg), delivers her daughter Mary and dies a few days later.
Catherine’s death shakes up the world of Starz‘s Becoming Elizabeth in more ways than one. It leaves Thomas Seymour (Tom Cullen) devastated and, worse, cast adrift without the stabilizing presence of Catherine. And politically, it grants Elizabeth a sudden jolt of newfound power. With Catherine’s death, the royal house Chelsea Place is given to Elizabeth to use as her own household. The newly wealthy (and of age) princess is welcomed back to court and Lady Jane Grey (Bella Ramsey) is forced to return to her odious, scheming father.
What’s perhaps even more tragic about Catherine’s death is Becoming Elizabeth lets the clever dowager queen see it coming. When a physician tells Catherine she is with child in Episode 3, she bluntly says, “It is a death sentence.” Becoming Elizabeth star Jessica Raine explained Catherine’s fatalism to Decider.
“For her, it’s like she’s a late bloomer and everything is perfect. I think she’s been through three marriages and just assumed she can’t get pregnant, is really at peace with that, has stepchildren that she’s mothered,” Raine said. “And the moment that she actually is pregnant, I think it does feel like a death sentence.”
Raine added that Catherine would be not only aware that childbirth is deadly for women in this time, but that she’s old to be having a baby.
“And it just isn’t in her plan. I think she assumed she was infertile so obviously she’s having a lot of sex but assumes there’s gonna be no consequences to that, so it’s a complete shock. She’s a planner, and it’s just not in the plan.”
Eventually it seems Catherine does come around. She is happy immediately after her daughter’s birth and lovingly tells her husband Thomas that he is one of the only men who see her as a real person. It seems, for a moment, that their love is stronger than ever. You know, despite all that stuff Thomas did with Elizabeth… Then this joy is shattered when Thomas returns from a feast to discover Catherine has died of childbed fever, a common ailment that also took the life of Thomas’s sister (and Henry VIII’s third wife), Jane Seymour. Catherine’s death re-opens the wound of that grief, too.
“This is one of the things I would defend Thomas about, actually. I think he’s the only male character in the whole show who really listens and respects women,” Tom Cullen told Decider. “He does it so often.”
“He sees Catherine and respects her. He sees Elizabeth…But that’s what’s so complex about him, he’s somebody who deeply, deeply respects women but at the same time, he betrays that.”
Jessica Raine added: “And it’s not a ploy, it never feels like it’s a ploy.”
“I don’t think it is. It’s genuine, absolutely,” Cullen said. “I don’t think he’s that kind of long-sighted. He’s so impulsive, he really can’t see beyond his nose. He just moves through the world in the present, and it’s quite an extraordinary character to play in that sense. Every moment is just live for him. He doesn’t even know what’s going to happen next. He lives his life for living.”
Raine said, “That’s what makes him so seductive, I think.”
“It’s such a shame because Thomas is her kind of poison, Catherine’s poison. But I think he offers her something that other men just haven’t,” Cullen said.
“I do think he is her one blind spot,” Raine said, before praising the two’s complex relationship.
Apparently, though, Catherine’s pregnancy storyline wasn’t all doom and gloom for Raine.
“It was fun marching about in those Tudor clothes and a massive pregnancy bump as well. Everyone will be like, ‘Are you wearing the bump?’ and I’m like, ‘Yes!! It’s so heavy!!’ No one could notice it because they were just basically wearing a massive set of curtains,” Raine said with a giggle. | https://decider.com/2022/07/03/becoming-elizabeth-episode-4-catherine-parr-death/ | 2022-07-04T05:37:35Z | https://decider.com/2022/07/03/becoming-elizabeth-episode-4-catherine-parr-death/ | false | 1 |
