By W A Wijewardena –
Aseni, whiz kid in economics, and her grandpa, Sarath Mahatthaya, are in discussion on how money cost can deviate from the true cost of an activity and its implications on the personal as well as the country economic life. The issue has received their focus because of the long queues for essential items, especially for fuel, milk food, and cooking gas, in Sri Lanka where people pay a low money cost but spend hugely in terms of the sacrifice of their real resources.
The following is the conversation;
Aseni: Grandpa, standing in long queues for days and days to get fuel, cooking gas, and milk food has become a daily occurrence in Sri Lanka. Pretty soon, this will be extended to other essential goods like rice too. This is because the Census and Statistics Department, in releasing the GDP numbers for the first quarter of 2022, has noted that the ban of chemical fertilisers has caused the agriculture sector, especially the cultivation of paddy, to fall by about 7%. This refers to the Maha season of 2021/22 and in the Yala season of 2022 too, there has been a low extent of paddy lands cultivated by farmers due to the same problem. We may run into a rice deficit in the months to come. What are the economic implications of these long queues?
Sarath: When we buy a good or a service from the market, we make a sacrifice, and that sacrifice is denominated in money terms as its agreed price tag. For instance, when we buy a litre of petrol for Rs. 550, our money sacrifice is Rs. 550. However, to earn that money, we should make a real sacrifice. Suppose we must work for one hour to make that amount of money. If so, one litre of petrol is equal to one hour of our work-life. If petrol is available at the pumping station and we can get it without making a fuss, then, money cost that we incur is equal to its true cost. This exchange is called a transaction and it is not over until the whole transaction is complete. But to complete the transaction, we may have to make additional sacrifices other than what we pay to the pumping station owner.
These additional sacrifices can take different forms. One is that we may have to stand in a queue to get this one litre of petrol. Another is that we may have to pay a bribe to the pumping station owner or to an employee or to a connected party. A third is that when we stand in the queue, we may meet with an accident. A fourth is that we may be beaten by police or by another person standing in the queue or by a total stranger. A fifth is that if we are arrested by the Police for whatever the reason, we may have to incur legal costs to get ourselves freed from jail. A sixth is that we may fall sick in the queue and incur medical expenses.
These are all real sacrifices we make to get this one litre of petrol. But if they are there, the true cost that we incur to get this one litre of petrol is higher than the money cost that we incur. In that case, the actual sacrifice is not one hour of our work-life but many more work-hours. These real sacrifices should be considered when we calculate the true cost of our acquiring a good or a service from the market.
Consider, for example, that the additional sacrifices that we must make are equal to five hours of our work-life. If one hour is equal to Rs. 550, the total additional sacrifice is equal to Rs. 2,750. When we add the money cost to this, the total cost amounts to Rs. 3,300. So, we buy a litre of petrol not for Rs. 550, but for Rs. 3,300.
The existence of these transaction costs makes the distribution of goods and services inefficient because it requires people to make more sacrifices than what they get. If the system is inefficient, it leads to waste of scarce resources. No country has a plenty of resources to waste like that. That inefficient production system makes that country poorer by the day. This is something that we must avoid if we want to progress.
Aseni: I understand that when there are positive transaction costs, there are people who lose these extra resources. But isn’t there anyone who gains out of this?
Sarath: These sacrifices can be broken into two categories. In the case of one category, the person involved makes a sacrifice, but there is no one who gains out of that. These types of sacrifices are called ‘deadweight losses’. For instance, if a person stands in a queue, he loses because he foregoes all the other income making opportunities. They are called opportunity costs. Similarly, if the person is beaten or arrested by the Police, he loses but no one gains. That is also a deadweight loss. Similarly, if he gets injured or as an extreme case, dies, while standing in the queue, he loses but no one gains. These are net losses to the economic system. It is the duty of the economic policymakers to design measures to eliminate, and if it is not possible, to minimise these deadweight losses.
In contrast to these deadweight losses, there are certain transaction costs which are gained by someone in the system. For instance, if the person involved has to pay a bribe to someone to get the right to have the good, the bribe taker gains. Similarly, when one stands in the queue, say to get petrol for his vehicle, a petty thief may steal some valuable part of the vehicle like the side mirror or a sticker, the vehicle owner loses but it is gained by the thief. But these types of gains which some people make do not contribute to the welfare or the prosperity of society. Hence, they are unproductive gains.
When there is the possibility for making such unproductive gains, people will try to grab those opportunities because they are easy ways of making money. With this positive incentive, when all the people try to become thieves or practitioners of immoral acts, society cannot progress because it cannot become richer by stealing from itself. Like the deadweight losses, it is the duty of the government to eliminate or keep at a minimum the possibility for making these unproductive gains.
Aseni: I now understand, Grandpa. In the current fuel crisis in Sri Lanka, there are stories that if you pay some Rs. 1,000 to the filling station pump operator, you can get the full tank of fuel. So, that is a bribe, and he gains, while the car owner loses. But the payment is an unproductive payment because the Petroleum Corporation could have earned that Rs. 1,000 if it had increased the price. What this means is that if there is a shortage and if prices have not been allowed to go up, it involves deadweight losses, on the one hand, and opportunities for earning unproductive incomes by some, on the other. With these losses around, the actual sacrifice by fuel users is much more than the money cost they incur. In real terms, they sacrifice much more than what they pay in money terms. I recall our economics teacher telling us that what should be considered in these cases in only opportunity cost. But you have broadened it and developed the concept of transaction cost that includes many other things as well. Am I correct, Grandpa?
Sarath: Both your teacher and you are correct about the importance of the opportunity costs. In fact, it is one of the fundamental key principles in economics. If you do not know it, we can say that you do not know economics. Therefore, good teachers in economics teach opportunity cost to their students before they teach anything else. What did your teacher teach you about it?
Aseni: She told us that the basic issue in all our economies is the relative scarcity of the things which we have. For example, she told us that she had Rs. 5,000 in her purse, but it was not sufficient for her to buy everything that she wants to buy. Therefore, she has to make a choice. That choice was to select this thing against that thing. Both are alternatives and, hence, it is a choice among alternatives. For example, she said that she wanted to buy a saree as well as a handbag. But if she bought the saree, she had to forego the handbag. Hence, the foregone opportunity of the saree is the handbag. Hence, the handbag is the opportunity cost of buying the saree. She said that if that cost is more than the value of the saree, then, she had made an inefficient choice. Hence, one should always look at the opportunity cost of what one does and make the best choice for oneself. This was what we were taught. Is it wrong, Grandpa?
Sarath: No, your teacher is perfectly correct, and she had well-explained the concept of opportunity cost. The whole problem about our choice making is that we go for choices where the opportunity cost is bigger than the choice that we make.
You will now realise that in our broader concept of transactions costs, opportunity cost is also one element. When the person stands in the queue to buy petrol, he foregoes the income that he could have earned during that period. We have seen people standing in queues for days and days to buy petrol. They waste their productive hours in the queues. That loss in income should be added to the transaction costs to decide on the true cost of the petrol they buy. While the opportunity cost is always there, it is high in the case of high-income people and low in the case of low-income people. But everybody makes that sacrifice. But if someone is unemployed or does not do any productive work, the foregone opportunity of standing in a queue is zero. Therefore, when he gets petrol for Rs. 550 per litre is a real gain for him.
Aseni: Does this mean that if there are unemployed people in the country, there is nothing wrong in getting them to stand in a queue and get what they want?
Sarath: No. Even though they are presently unemployed, they can be productively used for some other engagement. Hence, society, as a whole, loses. That is because we could have distributed those goods through the market system without getting those people to stand in a queue. There was a good example which had been provided some time back to explain this. The government had recruited unemployed graduates to public service and used them to distribute the seeds for home-gardening. True that they distributed those seeds. But those seeds could have been distributed through the market system too. In that case, there is no cost involved. And those graduates could have been used to provide some productive service to people in other areas of government services. Therefore, it was an inefficient engagement.
Normally unemployed people love to stand in a queue to get a good. That is because they stand to gain once the good is issued to them. But they forget that there are other costs they incur like the ones we have included in the transaction costs. There, they make an additional real sacrifice which even in their case is very costly. That is why I broadened it as transactions cost and not merely the opportunity cost.
Aseni: How does this inefficient distribution affect the overall economy, Grandpa?
Sarath: We lose total production in two ways, one directly and the other indirectly. Directly, when we get productive people to stand in the queue instead of working in factories, fields, or offices, there is a loss of output. It reduces the total output of society and makes it poorer. Indirectly, when these people incur high transaction costs, if they use those goods they get as inputs for production, the true cost of those inputs will be much higher than their money costs. For instance, suppose a farmer stands in a queue risking being injured or beaten by the Police to buy diesel to operate one of his agricultural implements, his costs go up making his operation unprofitable. It is not directly reflected in his profit and loss account, but it is personally felt by him. This indirect increase in costs makes economic activities inefficient. When we have a society-wide inefficiency, it is a real impediment to prosper and create wealth for people. Those societies do not progress at all.
Aseni: The Government has introduced a token system to distribute fuel. Does it not eliminate the transaction costs?
Sarath: No. That is because even if you get a token, you will still have to stand in a queue to buy fuel. Those in the medical profession are issued with tokens. But they have to stand in a queue for hours to get the rationed fuel for their vehicles. So, there are now two types of queues. One to get the token and the other to get fuel. So, the transaction cost is doubled instead of being eliminated. Besides, there are two other costs too. One is that Army and Police personnel have to spend their time to distribute tokens and check them when people turn up at filling stations to buy fuel. That is a deadweight loss. The other is that you can sell your token to someone else and make some unearned money which in economics we call ‘rents’. We are offering rent-seeking opportunities to people and the existence of rent-seeking in society is a sign of inefficiency in the economic system.
This transaction cost can be minimised if the issue of tokens and the notification of the availability of fuel is digitalised. You can log into an app, get registered with details, and get a digital token. With the contact number given, they could be notified of the availability of fuel, when and where. Then, they need not stand in a queue and incur high transaction costs. When things can be easily managed in this digital age, there is no necessity for the government to get people to stand in queues for days.
Aseni: Wow! I have learned a lot today. What we should be concerned about is not the money cost that we incur but the true cost that includes the transaction costs as well. The existence of high transaction costs reduces the welfare of people at a personal level and of society at an aggregate level. Hence, proper economic planning requires governments to eliminate these transaction costs if they are concerned about the long-term economic growth of the respective countries.
Sarath: Yes, indeed.

Made in America: bill would require American flags to carry the label
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Made in America, a bipartisan group of senators say that should be stitched on American flags.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), said, “When taxpayers dollars are involved the work should be done in the United States.”
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), said, “Only 50% of a flag has to be made in America. Right. That doesn’t make any sense.”
Brown and Scott are joined in cosponsoring the All-American Flag Act by Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
According to the lawmakers, the bipartisan legislation would require the federal government to only buy flags completely produced and manufactured in the United States.
Colin Grabow, from the Cato Institute, criticizes the bipartisan bill.
Grabow said, “I think that there’s some superficial appeal here. But if you dig a little bit deeper, you see that’s really misguided.”
Grabow also said the government should be more concerned about reducing cost, especially at a time when families are feeling the impact of rising gas and food prices.
He said, “If you pass this law, this means that flags are going to cost more. They cost more. That means more expenditures by the government. That means either higher taxes or they’ll have to cut spending for some other place to to produce these flags.
Companion legislation in the House is led by Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IIl) and cosponsored by Rep. Shontel Brown (D-Ohio), Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

Zola 7 to receive his first 'Lifetime achievement award' later this year
Bonginkosi “Zola 7" Dlamini is expected to be honoured at this year's Mzansi Kwaito House Music Awards (MKHMA).
The veteran Kwaito star is set to be handed his first Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the music industry and SA as a whole.
“We decided to honour him while he is still alive to give him the lifetime achievement award and tell him that we love him and respect what he's done, not just for the music industry but for SA,” the CEO of MKHMA, Perfecta Malinga, told TshisaLIVE.
The award show, set to take place on November 26, has always been held at Sun City in North West but this year, it is expected to host various Kwaito legends including Spikiri, Mapaputsi and others in the city of gold.
It's themed this years awards Hola 7, Ziwu 7 as it celebrates seven years since the inception of the awards.
“We relate to Zola 7, we all know that the only Kwaito legend that regards to 7 is him and we are celebrating 7 years this year.” Besides being handed a trophy, a surprise upcoming artist will sing one of his songs and have him join in the performance on stage.
“It's all about love ... we are a non-profit organisation but we don't want to honour him with just the trophy that we plan to give him, we're still knocking on doors to see how much more we can give him.”
Speaking of keeping the legacy of Kwaito alive, Perfecta said it was important for funders to contribute towards initiatives that would help treasure the music history of SA.
“We appreciate the support that we are getting and we just request if we can get funders to support this vision and initiative,
“We are aware that South Africans are not aware that there are upcoming artists, that there's a narrative that Kwaito is dead, so we want to prove that it's still alive and keep it's legacy alive ... It will be a night to remember and have so many wow factors.”

Which Transformers toys are best?
What makes Transformers toys so unique is that they are part plaything and part puzzle. “Robots in disguise,” Transformers look like vehicles, animals or devices but transform into supercharged robots. Transformers are so popular that they have generated comic books, multiple television series and several movies.
From simple plastic replicas to high-priced collector’s items, there are hundreds of Transformers models from which to choose. If you are looking for a large and intricately detailed Transformers toy, take a look at the 2-foot tall Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Titan WFC-S29 Omega Supreme.
What to know before you buy a Transformers toy
Age range
Most Transformers toy packaging includes a suggested age range. Kids don’t develop at the same time or speed, so use the manufacturer’s suggestions as a good starting point until you discover just how much of a challenge your child wants.
Difficulty level
Little kids won’t have any fun if their Transformer toy is too much of a challenge, and bigger kids won’t enjoy a Transformers toy that is too easy. Check the packaging for instructions on how to conduct the transformations and how many steps it should take.
Toy size
Younger kids are better off with Transformers toys with fewer moving parts and fewer transformation steps. As they grow older, children will gravitate toward larger toys that require more steps to fully transform from robot to vehicle and back again.
To learn even more about Transformers toys, take a look at the full Transformers toy buying guide from BestReviews.
What to look for in a quality Transformers toy
Challenge level
There are several things that go into determining how difficult it is to transform from one stage to the next. Look for a sticker on the package that indicates if the robot conversion process is basic, intermediate, advanced or expert.
Basic: These are the Transformers toys that are the least challenging and suitable for a child’s first Transformers toy. They are smaller Transformers toys with fewer pieces and fewer steps. These Transformers are for kids who want to play with toys.
Intermediate: As the number of modes a Transformers toy passes through during transformation increases, the more complex the transformation becomes. Intermediate Transformers toys usually permit the transformation steps to be done in any order. Kids love playing with more detailed Transformers toys.
Advanced: At this level, Transformers toys have more steps and a precise sequence must be followed to achieve a successful transformation. Children drawn to this level enjoy the challenge of solving the engineering puzzle as much as they do playing with the toy. The more a precise order is required, the more challenging the Transformers toy..
Expert: Transformers toys at this level are the choice of children who enjoy the puzzle more than they enjoy playing with the toy.
Multipacks
Some Transformers toys are sold in sets that tie into a movie, story line or series. When characters are made of separate vehicles, you will need to purchase all of them to transform the character into its robot form.
How much you can expect to spend on a Transformers toy
You will find smaller toys for $15 or less. From $20-$40, you’ll find more challenging Transformers toys and some multipacks of simpler toys. Above $50 are the bigger, challenging Transformers toys and limited releases with rare designs.
Transformers toy FAQ
How do you learn more about Transformers toys?
A. One way is to ask your child to tell you how much they know about Transformers. A good way to prepare for that conversation is to set aside a few minutes to get an overview of the characters and their stories.
How can you figure out if the Transformers toy you’re buying will become valuable?
A. No one can predict the future, but that doesn’t stop some people from trying. There are quite a few blogs, sites and online groups that are very much into Transformers and a wealth of information on collectible Transformers toys.

Tickets open for Agfest
4 July 2022
Jo Palmer,
Minister for Primary Industries and Water
Tickets for Agfest have gone on sale and all Tasmanians are invited to attend.
Agfest begins on 24 August and extends over four days, showcasing some of the best and latest in agricultural products, machinery and services.
The iconic field event, now in its 40th year, will be followed by an online ‘cloud’ event from 27 August to 2 September.
Agfest is an important contributor to our rural economy. Collectively, Agfest contributes up to $40 million to the Tasmanian economy each year, with hundreds of businesses relying on Agfest trade and networking opportunities to improve their growth and profitability.
Our Government has long been a supporter of Rural Youth and Agfest, and we welcome the fantastic opportunity the event provides for people to engage with and learn about our agricultural programs and services and have a great day out.
Earlier this year Events Tasmania announced funding of up to $850,000 to Rural Youth Tasmania to help ensure the continuation of Agfest and the growth and sustainability of the organisation.
Agfest is a testament to Rural Youth and all the exhibitors and Tasmanians who have supported the event as it continues to grow in size and reputation.
Tickets for Agfest can be purchased online at https://events.ticketbooth.com.au/event/agfest-2022-tasmania-s-premier-field-days
I encourage all Tasmanians to attend and support this important agricultural event, and I hope to see you there at Quercus Park.

SHANGHAI, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbisko Therapeutics Co., Ltd. (HKEX Stock Code: 2256.HK, referred to "Abbisko Therapeutics" hereafter) today announced completion of dosing of the first patient in the Phase 1 clinical trial in advanced solid tumors for ABSK061, which becomes the first highly selective FGFR2/3 inhibitor advanced into clinical stage globally.
The clinical trial (ABSK061-101, NCT05244551) is a First-in-Human Phase 1 study of ABSK061 to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics in patients with advanced solid tumors, and to determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) and evaluate preliminary anti-tumor activities. The trial is currently being conducted in both China and US.
ABSK061 is a next-generation, orally available, highly potent and selective small molecule FGFR2/3 inhibitor independently discovered and developed by Abbisko Therapeutics with global intellectual property rights. Several first-generation pan-FGFR inhibitors have demonstrated clinical efficacy in multiple types of tumor carrying FGFR2/3 alterations and have been approved globally, including China and US. Their therapeutic window and efficacy, however, are limited by the side effects associated with FGFR1 inhibition. With reduced FGFR1 activity while maintaining strong potency against FGFR2/3, ABSK061 is expected to achieve improved therapeutic window and clinical efficacy as a second-generation FGFR inhibitor. In addition to oncology indications, ABSK061 also has great potential to expand its use in non-oncology indications, such as achondroplasia.

For years now on Neighbours the elusive Piper Willis has been mentioned in conversations but never seen on Ramsay Street. All this changes next month when Willis’s youngest daughter is reunited with her family in the form of stunning newcomer Marvournee Hazel.
The Adelaide born actress joins the regular cast of the long-running series and scoring the role as the feisty Piper is a dream come true
“It's a great feeling to be rewarded with the role of Piper after years of hard work, especially when I fell in love with the character after my first audition,” said Mavournee who relocated to Melbourne for the role.
“The producers and I both had the same vision of how we pictured Piper to be, and I'm so grateful that they saw her in me and trusted that I could carry her story line and quirky persona.”
Mavournee became interested in performing when she was just eight-years-old, starring in various stage productions and secured a performing arts scholarship in high school.
The talented 19-year-old has had support roles in Sam Fox – Extreme Adventures, Changed Forever, Catching Milat and a guest appearance on Totally Wild. More recently she had a support lead in the a short film, Servo at the St Kilda Film Festival.
Acting isn’t Mavournee’s only passion, she is also an accomplished athlete having excelled at lacrosse in high school, making the South Australian state team twice.
Mavournee makes for on-air debut on Eleven on September 16. | https://10play.com.au/neighbours/articles/mavournee-hazel-joins-neighbours/tpa190615kxnws | 2022-07-04T06:15:32Z | https://10play.com.au/neighbours/articles/mavournee-hazel-joins-neighbours/tpa190615kxnws | false | 1 |

A case has been filed against comedian Kapil Sharma for breaching his contract for the tour of North America in 2015. As per Times of India, Sai USA Inc filed the lawsuit as Kapil was paid for six shows but he performed at only five of them. The TOI report mentioned that Amit Jaitly, a well-known promoter of shows in America, claimed that Kapil failed to perform in one of the six cities he had promised to and had committed to pay up for the loss. However, as per Amit, the comedian neither performed at the event nor made up for the loss. Speaking to the publication, Amit said, “He did not perform and has not responded although we tried several times to get in touch with him before the court.” According to the report, the case is pending in a New York court. Sai USA Inc will ‘definitely be taking legal action against him’. Taking to their Facebook page, Sai USA shared a report on the case. They captioned the post, “SAI USA INC FILES THE LAWSUIT AGAINST KAPIL SHARMA FOR Breach of contract in 2015.” Currently, Kapil is on a tour of North America with his team of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ for their show Kapil Sharma Live. Kapil and his team members have been sharing pictures and videos from Canada and also snippets from their show. In Vancouver, as the team performed on June 25 and on Wednesday, Kapil announced that their next stop is Toronto. The team has been posting pictures and videos from their tour on social media and audiences love them. On Wednesday, Kapil shared a video from his Vancouver show on Instagram. In the video, Kapil, Kiku, Sumona, Krushna and Rajiv were seen performing on the stage as thousands of people cheered for them. Sharing the video, Kapil told his fans that he will be performing next in Toronto on July 3. Recently, Kapil paid a heartfelt tribute to late singers Sidhu Moose Wala and KK during his show in Vancouver, Canada. A video went viral on the internet where Kapil was seen singing Sidhu Moosewala’s hit song ‘295’. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/962024/case-filed-against-kapil-sharma-for-breach-of-north-america-tour-contract/ | 2022-07-04T06:21:11Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/962024/case-filed-against-kapil-sharma-for-breach-of-north-america-tour-contract/ | false | 1 |

Israeli law enforcement agencies could not establish a link between the R95 million they froze in the bank accounts of fugitive attorneys Ronald and Darren Bobroff in 2017 and the money the duo stole in South Africa by overcharging road accident victims.
The Israelis could, therefore, not assist the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA’s) Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) in recovering the money, but proceeded to institute civil and criminal proceedings against Darren Bobroff related to money laundering.
These proceedings were later terminated after the parties (Israel and Darren Bobroff) settled without proactively informing or consulting the NPA, which saw the State of Israel appropriating around R70 million of the funds and allowing the Bobroffs to retain the balance of about R25 million.
The Israeli’s inability to draw a link is despite the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling in May last year that the money the Israelis froze was the proceeds of crime and must be forfeited to the state.
These developments are revealed in a letter the Israelis sent to the South African Department of Justice (DOJ) in April 2021.
The letter, signed by a senior deputy to the State Attorney of the State of Israel, Yael Bitton, also informed the DOJ of the settlement agreement.
Moneyweb received a copy of the letter from the NPA after applying for it in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (Paia).
Interestingly, the Department of Justice refused us a similar PAIA application, stating that the record “would reveal information supplied in confidence by or on behalf of another state.”
South African authorities have also escalated the case to the DOJ and the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco) on the instruction of Minister of Justice Ronald Lamola.
Background
The case dates back to March 2017, when Israeli authorities seized R103 million in the Bobroffs’ bank accounts in that country.
The South African Supreme Court of Appeal later ruled that R95 million of this money was the proceeds of crime and should be forfeited to South Africa.
After the seizure of the funds, the NPA asked the Israelis for assistance in returning the money to South Africa.
The Israelis then requested the NPA to provide evidence that the funds could be linked to the Bobroffs’ fraud and theft in South Africa.
The NPA complied and shared information with Israel and even met with Israeli representatives.
However, in the letter to the DOJ, Bitton wrote that the Israeli authorities “ultimately determined that this investigative avenue was not viable, since it was not possible to establish a link between said assets and the offences allegedly committed by Bobroff in South Africa”.
“Due to the inability to link the assets to the South African investigation, the aforementioned seized funds were at immediate risk of being released.”
Pivotal affidavit from Sars
Bitton stressed that information supplied by the NPA, and “in particular the provision of a vital affidavit from a Sars [South African Revenue Service] representative”, assisted Israeli in building a domestic criminal money-laundering investigation against Darren Bobroff.
The letter also revealed an offer to share the spoils with South Africa. “In recognition of the important assistance provided by the South African authorities and law enforcement in the Israeli investigation, the State of Israel proposes sharing a total of 3 million NIS (R14 million) with the Government of South Africa.”
This amount is yet to be paid, although discussions between South African and Israeli authorities are ongoing for the full R95 million to be returned.
Bobroffs’ response
Richard Spoor, the Bobroffs’ attorney in South Africa, said in response that the Israeli letter confirms what “we have said all along”, echoing previous denials of wrongdoing. (Read the full response here)
Spoor was also critical of the Israeli conduct and the settlement agreement, which he previously labelled highly opportunistic.
“The Israelis were rescued by the settlement agreement that they entered into with (Darren) Bobroff, which, as we previously advised, was entered into under duress, namely the threat of arrest and extradition of Darren to Israel and the seizure of all their assets and property in Australia.
The settlement was effectively extorted out of them. The letter confirms this. They had no case against Bobroff but were able to extort money from them, through the abuse of state power.”
He said: “The Bobroffs knew that the Israelis had no basis to believe that the moneys in the Israeli bank accounts were the proceeds of any criminality and that the SA request was bunkum. They also knew that the Israelis knew that there existed no valid legal grounds to confiscate the monies. That said the Israeli process is secret and they (the Bobroffs) were not allowed to see the evidence that the Israelis relied upon.
“They were also threatened with the freezing of their assets and the arrest and detention and deportation of Darren to Israel where he could be held for months. They had little choice but to agree to the Israeli Ministry’s extortionate demands.”
He added that the “Bobroffs agreed to let the Israeli authorities take their money in exchange for their freedom and the release of a small part of their assets.” He noted that the Bobroffs had initiated proceedings in Israel to take the agreement on review.
Spoor also acknowledged that the money was moved to Israel illegally. “Some moneys were transferred without permission of the SA Reserve Bank.
The Reserve Bank limits the amount of money South Africans can move offshore. That offshore holding has since been declared, and a penalty was imposed by the tax authorities.”
This fine remains unpaid.
Moneyweb sent questions to Bitton, but she did not respond.
NPA’s response
The NPA seems unfazed by these developments.
Bulelwa Makeke, NPA head of communications, said in response to questions that Israel’s conclusion that no link could be drawn between the funds seized in Israel and the alleged transgressions in South Africa has no bearing on the NPA’s criminal investigation and the extradition application.
Makeke added that the extradition application is “pending the finalisation of the investigations.”
Advocate Suna de Villiers from the AFU said the actions of the Israeli authorities do not affect its actions to recover the money.
“Our case is not linked to the criminal investigation. In our application, we need to convince a court that a person received the proceeds of crime and it is not dependent on a criminal conviction.
“We said the money in Israel was the proceeds of crime, and we will continue to pursue the seizure of the funds.”
De Villiers also stated that SA’s minister of justice phoned her recently and asked that the case be escalated to the DOJ and Dirco. “So, the case is being dealt with at a very high level.”
Seizure of properties and money in Australian bank accounts
An interesting aspect of the settlement agreement was that the Israelis asked the Australian government to freeze assets the Bobroff owned in Australia.
The Australians subsequently issued a summons in which they wanted to seize the five Bobroff-owned properties and freeze three bank accounts.
The summons provides details of the properties. A deed search revealed that the Bobroffs sold two properties in September last year to a company called CJNSW PTY LTD for $0. The director and secretary of CJNSW is Cindi Jaches, Ronald’s daughter.
The family still owns the other three.

Officers conducted searches in Laval, Anjou, St-Ambroise, Granby, Sherbrooke, Québec, St-Hubert, and Gatineau as part of an “important investigation,” the SQ stated in a news release.
The searches took place at the suspects’ homes, where police seized computer equipment for analysis. Those arrested are facing charges related to possession, distribution and access to child pornography, police said.
Woman to be charged with murder in killing of man at Laval restaurant
The Quebec Provincial Police say a woman arrested in Ontario is facing murder charges in connection with a homicide inside a Laval restaurant.
Britney Lewis, 25, of Pickering, Ont., was arrested by Durham Regional Police last week and was set to appear in an Ontario courtroom before being transferred to Quebec to face charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Bernard Cherfan.
Cherfan, 42, was known to have links to organized crime. He was gunned down June 1 inside La Perle restaurant on des Laurentides Blvd. in Laval’s Vimont district around 7:25 p.m. in front of other diners.

LAST season she was chasing the round ball as part of the CSU soccer club, but in 2022 Anna French is deploying her speed as a major offensive weapon for CSU Mitchell Rugby.
On Saturday French's speed helped her to pick up a pair of tries in wet conditions as CSU crushed the Wellington Redbacks 59-7 in their North Cup clash.

Her presence has added another strike weapon to a back line which already includes the likes of prolific try-scorer and captain Maddie Reilly plus Chiara Major.
"That's the good thing about the turnover at uni, you always discover new people. Anna is second or third year at uni and was playing soccer, but she's come over to us now," CSU coach Marcus Burrell said
"It's been really good for us to have her.
"Anna floats on the wing a fair bit of the time, because she's so fast she gets around them. The ball playing skills of Maddie and Chi especially and Liana [Wheatley] when she's in there as well at 10, when hands get the ball to the wing no-one can really catch her."
Having French, who Burrell has labelled as 'a speed machine', on the edge has given CSU a focus for its attack this season.
The coach admits it has taken time for his new-look squad to adjust and execute, but piling on nine tries in the tricky conditions at Wellington on Saturday shows CSU is now clicking.
"What we're trying to do is play to the wings, we've got probably the fastest team in the comp, so playing wide is something I've really tried to get into the girls and they did it," Burrell said.
"Stats wise they only had a couple of dropped balls in the wet and a couple of missed tackles, so all the hard work they're doing is paying off.
"I think a lot of it has come down to confidence with the girls, a lot of them didn't have it at the start of the year. I think the best way to get confidence in rugby is to play rugby because it is such a technical sport and now they're coming together."
While the effort against Wellington was CSU's biggest points haul of the season thus far, Burrell was just as pleased with what his side did in defence.
The hosts' only points came via a penalty try.
"They've really worked on their defensive effort in the last few weeks," Burrell said.
"It was all well and good Mudgee putting a bit of a score on them, but they've worked on that and on Saturday they turned defence into attack, it really worked for them."
Burrell has been pleased with the way that both his experienced core has performed and how the new faces in the squad have improved.

It is making competition for spots in the 10-player starting line-up very hot.
"We've got our stalwarts who have been around for a few years and give us go forward in every area, but there are a few new girls who are really stepping up," the coach said.
"In the forwards Georgia Skidmore and Elkie Bennett have really stepped up and provided the go forward and in the backs Scarlet Terrigal, she's new this year and her confidence and performance is great.
"On the weekend she was rewarded with a spot in the starting side. We're playing Scarlett just outside Maddie and Chi in the centres there. She's got decent hands on her as well, she can read a game and can makes decent tackles."
Saturday's effort sees second-placed CSU now holding an 18-point buffer over third-placed Wellington, but it is the Mudgee Wombats who still lead the race towards the minor premiership.
The Wombats have defeated CSU twice this season - 43-7 and 38-26 - and this coming Saturday the pair will square off again.

It's a top-of-the-table contest Burrell is eagerly anticipating.
"If we can shut Mudgee down, I think we can get every team, I'm confident in that as a coach. If we can get our best team on the paddock I think we can go far," he said.
"My reasoning behind that is Mudgee at the start of the year, they put 40 points on us but we scored close to 30 as well. So after that defence was the big thing I wanted and that's finally coming.
"So Mudgee this week, that will be the tester. There's a bit of rivalry there between us and Mudgee and to be honest, it's a healthy rivalry to have."
CSU 59 (Anna French 2, Chiara Major 2, Maddie Reilly 2, Elkie Bennett, Sofia Bamonte, Brooke Coleman tries; Maddie Reilly 7 conversions) defeated WELLINGTON REDBACKS 7 (penalty try)

KTM came to India ten years ago. Back then it was a premium bike that gave a high performance at a low price. Thus, KTM bikes became more popular with good reception from the market. The KTM bikes that initially came with the BS4 later became the BS6. The KTM RC 390 is now introduced with new upgrades for the year 2022.
KTM has been using the same design patterns since the release of KTM's RC model. But this 2022 KTM RC 390 model that has just been released has a completely different design. We have already seen this design in the 2022 KTM RC 200. Some liked it; others don’t like it. Some said the old design was just fine. But as times change, we must change too; the design also has to change. So KTM says we came up with this new design inspired by their MotoGP racing motorcycle.
In fact, its design was a little different when viewed in the photo and on the website. But when I came face to face, I really liked it. It seemed so premium.
What is the difference between the old model and the new model?
The first thing to feel when sitting on the bike is its weight. This new KTM RC 390 (without fuel) weighs 3.7 kg less than the old model. Filling with petrol will make only a one-kilogram difference in weight. This is because the previous petrol tank was 11 litres, now it has increased to 13.7 litres.
Excess weight is reduced, mainly on the lower parts of the bike. In particular, its alloy wheel has been reduced in weight to 1.1 kg. And also in its disc brakes. To reduce the unsprung mass the overall weight in the lower parts of the bike is reduced, thus the bike is going fast on the track, and it is easier to turn the bike from left to right easily than before. It is also equipped with a TFT-Multi Functional Display. This allows you to connect your smartphone. The seats are much softer than the previous model. This is the apparent difference between the old model and the new model.
Engine
No major changes were made to its 373cc engine. Although it is a single-cylinder, it produces 43.5 bhp of power. Its torque is 36 Nm. They also say that its performance has increased slightly as its airbox has increased by 40%. And the exhaust design is different.
Riding Position
As for the riding position, its handlebar position is slightly higher than before. It was like lying down and riding a bike before. You felt like superman flying! Now it is a bit like sitting and riding. Thus, it is suitable not only for race tracks but also for long rides and a little city riding too. Not only that, the handlebar can be adjusted 14 mm up and down for convenience.
Electronics
The main thing to look for is electronics. A lot of advanced technologies have been used in this.
The first thing to look for is the 'IMU Sensor'. It controls the vibrations that occur when the brakes are applied by the ABS. Also helps to measure the angular rates of the motorcycle to enable cornering ABS perfectly.
The second is 'Traction Control Technology'. This reduces the wheel spinning that occurs when the bike's throttle is suddenly twisted. What makes it special is that it has two sensors. One is mounted on the front wheel and the other on the rear wheel. The sensor detects the rotation speed of the wheel and helps to control traction. Thus, the handling of the bike is well controlled.
There is a third - 'Quick shifter'. This allows the gear to become smoother. This allows you to easily shift gears no matter how fast you go without using a clutch.
Fourth is the 'Slipper Clutch'. Suppose we are going at a speed of 160 km per hour. If you lower the gear at that time and release the clutch, the wheel will suddenly skid and an accident will occur! This slipper clutch controls it electronically. Such integrated technologies are used in this new KTM RC 390.
Conclusion
Overall the engine refinement is much better than the previous model. Its suspension is tailored to suit our Indian roads. ‘Race Bike in the Street’ is as real as KTM's new slogan for this 2022 RC. It's not only for a race bike but also for a little city ride.
Its ex-showroom price is Rs 3.14 lakh and its on-road price in Chennai would be around Rs 3.7 lakh. There is a significant hike in price between the previous KTM RC 390 and this new KTM RC 390. Street commuters will love this race bike if only a little compromise on price. | https://www.vikatan.com/amp/story/automobile%2Fmotor%2Flevel-up-for-the-ktm-rc-390 | 2022-07-04T06:53:53Z | https://www.vikatan.com/amp/story/automobile%2Fmotor%2Flevel-up-for-the-ktm-rc-390 | true | 2 |

STOCKHOLM, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Elkem has entered into an agreement with NCL (North Sea Container Line AS) who will charter in two new container ships enabling carbon neutral operations from MPC Container Ships to further improve Elkem's North Sea logistics. Enabling the use of green methanol as fuel, featuring high safety standards and backed by a strong business case, the new ships will enable higher operational efficiency and more climate-friendly transport in line with Elkem's strategy. The agreement will also enable NCL to become the first container vessel operator in Norway to put methanol-powered ships into operations.
The two new-build ships will replace three of NCL's current diesel-powered vessels, which will be phased out from operations. The ships, each at a capacity of 1300 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units), will be owned by the Oslo Børs listed MPC Container Ships ASA (MPCC) in partnership with Topeka MPC Maritime AS. Both vessels are expected to be in operation from the second half of 2024. The new ships are also highly automated, enabling higher efficiency, and feature several new safety measures to eliminate the risks of injury during operations.
"Elkem's mission is to provide advanced material solutions shaping a better and more sustainable future. Our operations require a significant amount of transport across the value chain, including sea transport as the most climate-friendly mode of transport for bulk goods. These state-of-the-art vessels will further increase our efficiency through increased capacity and can potentially cut net CO-emissions from 45 % up to 100% through the use of green methanol. This contract with NCL and the innovative newbuilding project with MPC Container Ships ASA is a great example of how operational excellence and sustainability can go hand in hand," says Elkem's CEO, Helge Aasen.
Green methanol is a fuel derived from renewable electricity and captured CO2. Compared to conventional fuels, it enables reductions of carbon dioxide emissions to around zero, reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80%, and eliminates sulphur oxide and particulate matter emissions.
Elkem is one of NCL's owners, with a 40% share. As part of its climate project portfolio, Elkem is also exploring the potential for capturing CO from Elkem's Norwegian plants and turning the CO into methanol for downstream use.
"We in NCL are continuously working to make sea freight safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. This is in line with our initiative Sea Change, where we aim to take the lead in making the whole industry greener, quicker. The ships, and the partnership with MPCC, will boost a significant amount of innovation and energy saving measures and are fully prepared for the green transition. A key point for us is making it cost-effective for customers, so that we make green freight the preferred choice. This agreement with Elkem is a great example," says NCL's managing director, Bente Hetland.
CEO of MPC Container Ships ASA, Constantin Baack comments: "We are excited to extend our selective fleet renewal with the two newbuildings in partnership with Elkem and NCL. This newbuilding project is a proof of how innovative projects that address the important green transition of the maritime industry can be executed in a way that they are also economically attractive, if the right partners join forces. Combining NCL's regional expertise and competencies and the strive and commitment of Elkem and others on the cargo side with MPCC's unique execution capabilities and in-depth understanding of intra-regional trade and vessel designs has been the basis for this project."
The project has been awarded NOK 13.7 million by Enova, owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, and NOK 60 million from the NOx fund, the Norwegian business sector's fund to reduce emissions.
Elkem is among the world's most environmentally friendly manufacturers of silicon-based materials, and high performance on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are central to the company's corporate strategy.
The company recently announced a climate roadmap detailing how Elkem plans to develop its business in line with the aim of the Paris agreement of limiting global warming to well below two degrees. The company aims to reduce its total fossil CO emissions by 28% from 2020-31 while growing its supplies to the green transition – thereby delivering a 39% improvement of its product carbon footprint in the same period. Elkem's long-term goal is net zero emissions by 2050.

PSVR 2 partners with veteran tech firm for eye tracking technology
PlayStation VR 2 is recruiting a veteran eye tracking technology company to be its official partner.
That tech company would be Tobii, which announced in a press release on July 1 that it had been selected by Sony to partner for the PSVR 2 headset. Going forward, Tobii will be the sole eye tracking technology partner for the forthcoming new-gen virtual reality headset.
"PlayStation VR2 establishes a new baseline for immersive virtual reality (VR) entertainment and will enable millions of users across the world to experience the power of eye tracking,” said Anand Srivatsa, Tobii CEO. The deal could equate to more than 10% of Tobii's revenue for the whole of 2022, it's claimed.
This news makes Tobii the first outside firm Sony has officially partnered with for the new PSVR 2 headset. Up until now, we've heard a slate of technological details about the new VR headset, including its 120Hz capabilities and 4K resolution per eye, but this is the first time we know who'll be providing Sony with the technology to deliver on their promises.
In fact, if you head over to Tobii's official website , you can see the sorts of ventured it's used its eye tracking technology before up until now. The firm has provided eye tracking tech to use for the superb Microsoft Flight Simulator, and also markets its tech for driving sim games like American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator.
Previously, a developer on VR-based Moss 2 said the PSVR 2's eye tracking software would enable better performance and a longer lifespan . The new headset can "can improve performance and increase fidelity" said principal engineer Brendan Walker, adding that developers are "actually wasting a lot of rendering horsepower and putting detail where there actually doesn't need to be as much."
Head over to our upcoming PSVR 2 games guide for a complete look over everything Sony has planned for the new headset.

Joy Behar May Leave 'The View' Any Day Now According to Her Own Words
One of the mainstays on ABC’s leftist daytime show “The View” may soon be leaving the show.
According to Variety, Joy Behar has been mulling the possibility of leaving the program when her contract ends sometime this summer.
In April 2020, Variety reported Behar first mentioned her plans for retirement in an interview for the nonfiction book, “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View.”
“I have a three-year contract,” Behar said in the book, which first came out in 2019. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave if I want to, because they can’t really do anything to me at this point.
“I don’t see myself staying for more [time]. That’s it! I could be wrong. If I’m as fabulous in [2022] as I am now, I’ll think about. But the chances of that happening…You know, time marches on. I’m not a kid.”
Now that the contract is nearing an end, multiple social media users have expressed happiness and relief about her possible exit.
“@JoyVBehar thank Goodness [you’re] leaving the view but your negativity and reputation will always stay a part of you,” one social media user wrote. “What derogatory statements you make are a reflection of who you are and not of the people you talk about.”
@JoyVBehar thank Goodness your leaving the view but your negativity and reputation will always stay a part of you. What derogatory statements you make are a reflection of who you are and not of the people you talk about.
— Tom Degro (@DegroTom) June 11, 2022
Harsh as that sounds, Behar has become infamous for her outrageous statements about people she does not like. In the latest example, she suggested on Monday she wanted to jump out of a plane and land on the Supreme Court following its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“It’s not easy to jump out of a plane.”

— The Recount (@therecount) June 27, 2022
In May 2020, Behar called former President Donald Trump a “disgusting racist,” and she suggested anyone who supported him may also be a racist.
Joy Behar on Trump’s “ask China” response to @weijia: “He’s a disgusting racist…And we know it when he goes after China and he goes after a Chinese-American girl…and anybody who still supports this guy needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are racist also.” pic.twitter.com/weNCM5hVS0
— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) May 12, 2020
This sad tendency to attack or threaten everyone she disagrees with is a large reason why many were celebrating her reported retirement.

— 🍺 Raymond from Brew Jersey. (@brewjersey) June 6, 2022
@JoyVBehar is an octogenarian who thank god is leaving @TheView
— Judy Black (@jblackie01) June 23, 2022
When reports of Behar’s possible retirement were swirling in 2020, an ABC representative attempted to throw cold water on the suggestion.
“This is not true,” the representative said. “Joy was asked what happens at the end of her contract and as she herself made clear in the interview, if she’s ‘as fabulous in [2022] as I am now,’ she will be in her seat at the table.”
The fact is that many viewers find Behar’s hate and vitriol far from “fabulous.” Removing her spiteful comments from the airwaves might not be the worst thing.

Mr Emeka Ezeh, the Head, Corporate Communications of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) who confirmed the development in Enugu, said the suspect attacked the company’s property at about 6 a.m.
EEDC confirms electrocution of suspected vandal in Anambra community
An unidentified suspected vandal was electrocuted on Sunday while tampering with Umuezerimpi 500KVA Distribution Sub-station at Umuatuegwu village in Okija community of Anambra.
According to Ezeh, the deceased was not operating alone, as other members of his gang took to their heels immediately he was electrocuted, leaving behind his lifeless body and their tools at the scene of the incident.
He revealed that a formal report on the development had been lodged at the Okija Police Division, for detailed investigation.
“The tools used by the electrocuted vandal and his fleeing colleagues were also recovered and his corpse deposited at the Okija General Hospital Mortuary.
“This is coming as EEDC issued a report on four suspected vandals who were apprehended in its network for allegedly attacking its electrical installations.
“Just imagine how this young man has cut his life short over nothing. It is hoped that this will serve as a deterrent to others engaging in this dastardly act,” he said.
The EEDC spokesman, however, urged members of the public to be vigilant and be on the lookout as it appeared that vandals were on rampage, attacking EEDC installations and inconveniencing customers in South-East.
“Let us all join hands and ensure these very few people in our society that are bent on making life miserable for all of us are stopped,” Ezeh appealed.

CHENNAI: Ravindra Jadeja has made 50 or more in a Test on 20 occasions. For a player, who India patiently waited to arrive with the bat in Tests, while plucking a bucketful of wickets with the ball, he is at a stage now where this isn’t a resurgence phase anymore. From being an all-rounder who could bat, he has fully become an all-rounder batter, who can bowl.
From having to wait for six years to get to the three-figure mark in Tests, Jadeja has since come a long way. With every series, his batting stocks have only been increasing and from making runs, which was considered a bonus, Jadeja is now constructing match-winning innings and where his presence alone makes a huge difference when it comes to the balance of the team.
When Jadeja walked in with India placed at 98/5, you would have expected nothing different from him. By now, we know, he has evolved into a reliable batter. One who is watchful — one of the most striking aspects of his innings at Edgbaston — and the one, if need be, goes for the shots while batting with the tail. It doesn’t come as a surprise anymore. Even the sword celebration is losing its novelty because you are getting to see it a lot often. It doesn’t break the internet anymore or nor does it find space on social media handles.
Yet, there was something special about Jadeja’s 104. Just a little over a month, he had left Chennai Super Kings camp hurt. There was niggle for sure, but if having to relinquish captaincy wasn’t enough, to hear MS Dhoni say he wasn’t prepared for the role despite being offered time must have been brutal to hear. It is hard to think of such a low point in his otherwise forever improving career.
As the IPL party continued, he silently left the bubble and headed back to Jamnagar, where he spent most of his time at his farmhouse in the company of his horses and the new addition — a dove. While some other players may have used interviews to plug their side of the story, there was only silence from Jadeja’s end. No cryptic social media posts or anything. It said a thing or two about the all-rounder, whose confidence even those in the national team set up feared would have taken a dent.
Yet, over the course of his knock spread across the first two days, Jadeja showed no such thing. If anything he only oozed confidence. Fully trusting game, as Rishabh Pant played an electrifying inning at the other end, Jadeja was watchful throughout. In conditions where batters’ instincts can make them poke those deliveries outside the off-stump, he was the lone batter who looked assured when it came to leaving the balls (Pant left all of one ball outside off).
If Day 1 was all about Pant, on Saturday Jadeja in the company of Mohammed Shami, completed his third Test century. Even though two perished, the last pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj had enough time to add a priceless, entertaining 41 runs off just 17 balls for the last wicket, which even saw Stuart Broad concede a world record 35 runs (the highest in Tests) as India posted 416.
Although rain played hide and seek from thereon, Indian pacers’ persistent attack reduced England to 84/5 in 27 overs. Bumrah took three wickets while Shami and Siraj chipped in with one each.
India 1st innings (338/7 overnight): Jadeja b Anderson 104, Shami c Leach b Broad 16, Bumrah (not out) 31, Siraj c Broad b Anderson 2; Extras: (b 4, lb 17, nb 14, w 5) 40 ; Total (all out in 84.5 overs) 416; FoW: 8-371, 9-375; Bowling: Anderson 21.5-4-60-5, Broad 18-3-89-1, Potts 20-1-105-2, Leach 9-0-71-0, Stokes 13-0-47- 1, Root 3-0-23-1.

General News of Monday, 4 July 2022

Umaro Sissoco Embalo, Guinea-Bissau President has been unanimously elected Chairman of the Authority of Heads of States and Government of ECOWAS.
He takes over from Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who has served the community for two terms since 2020.
Embalo will have to grapple with the difficult political and security situation that confronted his predecessor, as well as the rising cost of food in the region occasioned by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The new Chairman will also have the challenge of mobilizing the bloc to restore constitutional rule to the trio of Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali, who are under military authorities.
President Akufo-Addo hands over the position with the legacy of providing strong leadership that helped the region to manage the COVID-19 crisis.
Another feather in his cap was his push to maintain democratic ideals in the region, and his avowed resistance to the overthrow of constitutionally elected governments.
He is widely credited with rallying his counterparts to respect the term limits of their tenures.
President Akufo-Addo, who chaired his last meeting of the Authority, urged the bloc to adopt a coordinated approach to address the security concerns in the region.
He also impressed his counterparts to commit to the implementation of the regional action plan against terrorism to curtail the threat of terrorism.
“Our determination in this end must be stronger than ever and equally unshaken must be our resolve to maintain the stability of our region and of its member states,” he said
The President also urged member states to focus more on agriculture to enable the region to attain food sufficiency amidst the rising prices of food occasioned by the Russian war in Ukraine.
He entreated member states to stay vigilant against the COVID-19 pandemic because "the threat is still around, " pointing out that the region cannot afford another hit of the pandemic when it is presently contending with serious and destabilizing political and security threats.
“The management of this pandemic illustrates our organization’s ability to unite our energies to face a significant common threat. However, we must continue to remain vigilant as COVID-19 is still around,” he said. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Guinea-Bissau-039-s-Embalo-replaces-Akufo-Addo-as-ECOWAS-Chairman-1574624 | 2022-07-04T07:38:49Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Guinea-Bissau-039-s-Embalo-replaces-Akufo-Addo-as-ECOWAS-Chairman-1574624 | true | 3 |

SHE is someone whose ambition and determination to push herself to the limit has been an inspiration over the years.
Born with cerebral palsy, Dr Julie McElroy has surprised people around her for her whole life. Her parents were told she may never walk, but she defied the medical profession and went on to tackle mainstream sports and ride a bike by the age of 10.
However, a devastating incident five years ago left the 36-year-old in a wheelchair and stripped her of the fitness and sporting ability she had reached, and made her feel she had hit rock bottom.

The loss of her fitness and also the impact on her wellbeing saw Miss McElroy, from Jordanhill, Glasgow, look to find another route to taking part in sports. It is how she discovered frame running through Victoria Park Athletics Club.
As well as having started training and taken up the sport, she has successfully helped the club secure a grant of £14,000 to buy four specially-made frame running trikes to help people with physical disabilities. She now hopes the sport will grow throughout Scotland.
“I was left in severe pain and ended up in a wheelchair, and for anyone who knows me that just wasn’t me. My body was effectively ‘locked’. Up until then I had led such an active lifestyle,” said Miss McElroy. “I was left very fatigued and lost my ability to ride a two-wheeled bike and to get involved with everything I enjoyed.
“In the past 12 months I got involved in frame running at Victoria Park Athletics Club. My physiotherapist suggested it. I didn’t even know if I could do it after my injury, but my coach Gordon Innes, who is qualified to coach athletes with impairments in frame running and seated throws, trained with me and persevered.”
Mr Innes worked with her on both sports and devised a training programme that has improved her fitness and rekindled her love for sports. Miss McElroy was able to transition from her wheelchair to enjoy the increased flexibility and now runs round the leisure track at Scotstoun Stadium, where the athletics club is based.
Miss McElroy added: “The trike is a three-wheeled frame with a saddle and body plate to support the athlete. The athlete propels themselves against the frame with their feet and steers with their hands or arms, because it has no pedals.
“Frame running is a very successful technique of improving general fitness, strength, and physical and mental wellbeing for people with cerebral palsy as a recreational exercise.”
Among her list of achievements, Miss McElroy graduated with a PhD in assistive technology from the University of the West of Scotland and she is in the final stage of an Open University Masters in Business Administration.
Such was her love for sport, in 2012, she took on the mammoth challenge of trying her hand at all of the Paralympic sports featuring in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014.
Never one to sit back, she is already thinking of ways to make the sport of frame running more inclusive, and also of competing against her peers.
She is already looking ahead to see how the sport could be developed and reflected on a disappointing decision by the International Paralympic Committee last November not to include frame running as a category in the 2024 Games.
“That devastated many people already in the sport, but it also left me wondering about the decision,” she said. “There are 17million people across the globe who have cerebral palsy, so imagine the opportunities there might have been for them if the sport had been included.
“It would be my hope that we can achieve more, and perhaps in five years it might be recognised.”
Victoria Park club manager Mr Innes said the £14,000 grant, which has come from the Morrison Foundation, will allow many people with cerebral palsy to take part in frame running, while Miss McElroy said she is still in shock that the application was successful.
She added: “The hope is we can set up a frame running club. For me to be able to take up this sport after what happened to me, it has been a game changer and I want other people with cerebral palsy to have the same opportunity as me.
“It would be great to get frame running more widely recognised in Scotland and more integrated into sporting events and to be part of mainstream competitions. I see this kit as allowing me to run alongside my peers.”

Dad-of-five, 48, sparks outrage after accusing his wife of being 'lazy' because 'being a stay-at-home mum is an easy job'
- A dad isn't impressed with his 'lazy' wife's efforts at being at stay-at-home mum
- The man took to Reddit to vent his frustrations and hundred agreed with him
- He said he had taken care of their previous now-adult children while she worked
- Now his wife quit her job to stay at home with their new three-year-old daughter
- However the man said she's not doing a good job and the pair have been fighting
A frustrated dad has divided the internet after slamming his wife for 'being lazy' while at home with their three-year-old all day and saying being a stay-at-home parent is 'not hard'.
In a post to Reddit, many surprisingly sided with the harsh father's criticism of his wife as he had previously been at stay-at-home dad to the couple's now-adult children when she was working.
The couple, both 48, have been together since they were just 22-years-old and have five kids, most of whom were primarily cared for by their father for the majority of their lives.
The internet has surprisingly sided with a frustrated dad who called his wife 'lazy' and said being a stay-at-home parent 'isn't hard' after doing it himself for years for his four kids
'I was the stay at home parent, I cooked, cleaned, attended games, etc. from the moment they came home from the hospital, all up until their mid teen where I deemed them old enough to stay home by themselves,' the disgruntled dad wrote.
He said the youngest was a 'surprise' and is only three so when she was born he quit his job 'like usual' and has been watching her until recently.
'Eight months ago my wife comes to me and says she'd like to quit her job and watch our daughter,' he explained.
'I was sceptical because she had never done it before, but she's her mother and assumed she can handle like I did. Well she hasn't been handling it well at all.'
The man said he would come home from work to find the house in disarray, no dinner cooked and his wife watching TV while their young daughter is 'a mess'.
'After I tidy up the house, cook dinner, (which I don't mind, I've been doing it for 25+ years) and get ready for bed she complains about how being a stay-at-home mum is hard. Personally I think she's lazy,' he said.
'I was able to watch the twins with little to no difficulty, and all the way up until they were 14. I watched our third and fourth child with no hassle either. I never asked for help, and sucked it up because I was a dad. For her to have so much trouble watching a three-year-old is ridiculous.'
After their heated conversation, the father said he came home to a clean house, cooked dinner and happy daughter but tensions between them are still high and he fears he may have been 'too harsh' with her.
The man said he comes home from work to find the house and his daughter 'a mess' and no dinner cooked with his wife watching TV sparking a heated argument between the couple
He later added to the post that his wife would not immediately return to work after giving birth to their other four children and admitted he did occasionally have hired help to assist with taking care of the kids and house.
The dad's post attracted hundreds of comments from Redditors offering their thoughts and opinions, most of which agreed his wife is in the wrong.
'I could see having a day or two here and there where a person just 'lays around' and lets havoc run wild but she is definitely being lazy about it. Some people just aren't meant to stay home with kids and belong in the workforce,' one person replied.
'You could've been much kinder about what you said. Sounds like maybe you're a little resentful that you weren't appreciated as much for being a stay-at-home parent and might've snapped a bit,' a second wrote.
'Also a job that's easy for one person isn't necessarily easy for another. Hopefully this has opened her eyes to all the years of hard work you put in too,' they continued.
'There's also an age gap from when you had the older kids to the younger. No one is as spry as they once were,' a third pointed out.
'You've actually been a stay-at-home parent so you know what it entails and have been able to do it. It sounds to me like you made it look easy so she thought she wouldn't have to do much work at all,' a fourth responded.
After reading everyone's comments, the dad provided an update saying while things are better between the pair, they still disagree on the matter.
'We argued back and forth for a while, her saying that she still needs time to adjust, I'm shaming her, it's different for mothers,' he said.
'I brought up hiring help and she quickly shot this down, becoming irritate that I suggested she needed help taking care of her home and child. It felt like we were going in circles.'
He said he has insisted on hiring help which his wife is more open to after many discussions and he's been offering advice on how to make her new stay-at-home mum job easier. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/parenting/article-10979467/Reddit-sides-dad-called-wife-lazy-stays-home-young-child.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-04T07:53:15Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/parenting/article-10979467/Reddit-sides-dad-called-wife-lazy-stays-home-young-child.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 2 |

Stocks fluctuate as traders fret over recession
Markets swung Monday as traders fret over a possible recession caused by central bank interest rate hikes aimed at fighting soaring inflation.
Data showing a flare-up of fresh Covid-19 cases in China revived concerns about the government's policy of locking down towns and cities to eradicate the disease, despite the economic cost.
After the S&P 500's worst January-June since 1970, Wall Street got the second half off to a healthy start Friday as a below-forecast reading on US manufacturing provided hope banks will not go on an extended period of monetary tightening.
That followed a drop in confidence among consumers -- a key driver of the world's top economy.
However, National Australia Bank's Rodrigo Catril said the Federal Reserve and other global financial chiefs might not ease back on their rate hikes too soon as inflation remains stuck around multi-decade highs.
"While the data is suggesting a US economic slowdown is coming, we are not yet seeing signs of an ease in inflationary pressures, an important distinction given the Fed will continue with its aggressive tightening approach until it sees evidence of the latter," he said in a commentary.

In a sign of the struggle officials will have in controlling rising prices, figures showed eurozone inflation hit a record 8.6 percent in June. The European Central Bank is due to lift rates this month for the first time in more than a decade.
Still, while surging prices remain a huge problem, Chris Weston, at Pepperstone Group, said the psychology is "shifting radically from inflation concerns to one now where we're firmly focused on growth".
While New York provided a strong lead, Asia struggled.
Hong Kong dropped as investors returned from a long weekend to play catch-up with Friday's losses, while Seoul, Taipei, Bangok and Jakarta were also down.
However, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore, Taipei and Wellington rose.
London, Paris and Frankfurt rose at the open, though US futures were in the red.
A rise in new Covid cases in China over the weekend weighed on sentiment among investors who fear a return to the painful lockdowns in major cities including Shanghai, which hammered the world's number two economy.
The country saw more than 700 new infections Saturday and Sunday, having held below 50 a day for the previous two weeks.
Macau saw its first two Covid deaths at the weekend and authorities said they would consider a city-wide lockdown to fight the disease. The comments sent Hong Kong-listed shares in Macau casinos plunging.
Oil prices edged up but concerns about recession weighed on sentiment as traders bet on a drop in demand, while the head of Asia at crude trading giant Vitol said he saw signs consumers were beginning to feel the pressure of high commodity costs.
"There's very clear evidence out there of economic stress being caused by the high prices, what some people refer to as demand destruction," said Mike Muller. It is "not just oil, but also liquefied natural gas".

ECOWAS leaders are meeting in Accra to, among other things, elect a new Chairman.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, after serving two consecutive terms, will bring his tenure to an end after today’s meeting.
Opening the ongoing summit, Nana Akufo-Addo said he did his best to serve the region during the period amidst difficult times.
He expressed his appreciation to leaders in the sub-region for their support and cooperation during his tenure, indicating that his leadership period was one of the most trying periods of the body.
He however pledged to continue supporting ECOWAS after exiting his position as its chair.
“I will at the end of this summit conclude my tenure as chairman of this authority. It has been a great privilege for Ghana and myself to have been given the opportunity by you to serve this noble organization for two consecutive terms, particularly at one of the most trying periods of its history. I have benefited tremendously from the solidarity of your excellencies in the discharge of this difficult mandate which you have conferred on me, for which I am very grateful. I will continue to play my full part to the best of my ability in the work of the authority,” he said.
President Akufo-Addo was first elected Chair of the 15-member ECOWAS in September 2020 by the 57th Ordinary Session of the Authority.
He replaced President Mahamadou Issoufou of the Republic of Niger, who steered the activity of the Authority for a year.
Heads of States of the Authority at its extraordinary session held on February 2, 2021, via videoconference decided by general consensus that President Akufo-Addo continues as ECOWAS Chairman for one more year.
Established in 1975, ECOWAS is a regional group for promoting economic integration in all fields of activity of the members.
The 15 members of ECOWAS are Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.

Education is the bedrock of civilization and no progress can be thought of without acquiring wisdom, Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Ramabhadracharya of Chitrakoot said here on Sunday.
Jagadguru Ramabhadracharya, who was delivering the annual lecture at Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (SOA) here, said students should be ‘karmayogis’ which would lead to enlightenment of the world. He also explained the meaning behind the name ‘siksha’ and ‘anusandhan’, given to the Deemed to be University, to the audience.
Urging the youth to draw inspiration from the slogan ‘Atmanirvar Bharat’, the Swami stressed on students’ discharging their responsibility honestly while leaving the outcome in the hands of the almighty.
“Our country has two names, India and Bharat, but the second one should be adopted for use as hardly any nation in the world has two names. The necessary change should be made at the appropriate level,” he said.
Swami, who had lost his eyesight while he was hardly two month old, had turned a university topper earning nine gold medals and acquiring Ph.D and D.Litt degrees. He can speak in 22 languages and has set up a university for those with disabilities.
Arguing in favour of the use of hindi for education, he suggested that SOA should include hindi as one of its medium of instruction.
SOA Vice-President Ms. Saswati Das was present in the function which was attended by senior functionaries of the university. Dr. Basanta Kumar Pati of the Institute of Medical Education and SUM Hospital welcomed the Swami while Prof. Jyoti Ranjan Das, Dean (Students’ Welfare) conducted the proceedings. The meeting was also addressed by Dr. K.S.Rao, Secretary of Sahitya Akademi and Prof. Bijay Kumar Sahu, Dean, Institute of Agricultural Sciences.
Prof. B.B.Pradhan, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Registrar of SOA, Dr. Mahendra Prasad, Director, SOA, Prof. Sanghamitra Mishra, Dean, IMS and SUM Hospital, Dr. Gayatribala Panda, Head, SOA Centre for Preservation, Propagation and Restoration of Ancient Culture and Heritage of India (PPRACHIN) and SOA’s H.R. Officer Mr. Siddhyabrata Dash were among those present. | https://www.thestatesman.com/cities/bhubaneshwar/education-bedrock-civilization-jagadguru-ramanandacharya-1503086935.html | 2022-07-04T08:19:09Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/cities/bhubaneshwar/education-bedrock-civilization-jagadguru-ramanandacharya-1503086935.html | false | 1 |
Thailand's largest telco AIS plans $900 mln broadband expansion
BANGKOK, July 4 (Reuters) - Thai mobile operator, Advanced Info Service Pcl (AIS) ADVANC.BK, plans to invest 32.4 billion baht ($908.84 million) to acquire Triple T Broadband and units held by the JASIF infrastructure fund, AIS said on Monday.
"This acquisition will enhance consumer access ... by improving broadband inclusion in new areas targeting the up-country and non-city areas," Chief Financial Officer Tee Seeumpornroj said in a stock exchange filing.
AIS said it plans to buy Triple T Broadband for 19.5 billion baht and purchase 19% of JASIF JASIFu.BK for 12.9 billion baht.
The investment plan comes as rival operators True Corporation Pcl TRUE.BK and Telenor ASA's Total Access Communication Pcl (DTAC) DTAC.BK seek to merge their operations, pending regulatory approval.
The AIS announcement sent Thai telecommunication shares up. AIS gained 2.28% at 0400 GMT, while True and DTAC climbed 0.43% and 1.12%, respectively, compared with a 0.46% decline in the benchmark index .SETI. JAISF shares fell 4.7%.
AIS said the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed in the first quarter next year.

India women’s hockey team head coach Janneke Schopman has conceded the two green cards at the back end disturbed the team’s rhythm in the opening Pool B match of the FIH Women’s Hockey World Cup Spain & Netherlands 2022 against England, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate on Sunday night.
Goals were scored by Isabelle Petter (9th min) and Vandana Katariya (28th min) as they helped their respective teams add a crucial point on the points table.
Reflecting on the performance, India head coach Schopman said, “I think we started the game really well, creating a penalty corner in the opening minute. England were dangerous at times but we managed to play well on the ball and defended calmly most of the time. We were unlucky in our penalty corner execution and in the end the two green cards disturbed our rhythm a little.
“Overall, I’m quite happy with our performance but also know we can be better in certain areas,” she added.
Captain Savita, who made some remarkable saves, was happy the team had come out of the tough test with a point in the kitty.
“We knew it was going to be a high-pressure match, and I am happy that we showed great character on the pitch. I think we could have done better and converted our chances to win the match. Nevertheless, we have picked up a valuable point against a very strong team. So, it’s a positive start for us.”
India will now take on China in their second pool match in Amstelveen on Tuesday. The two teams have faced each other three times this year, with India winning all three matches. India registered a 2-0 win in the 3rd/4th placed match in the Asia Cup and won both the FIH Pro League matches (7-1 and 2-1) earlier this year against their Asian counterparts.
China also played out a 2-2 draw against New Zealand in their opening match of the tournament.
“China is a very good team, they are full of surprises and we will have to be on the top of our game against them. It will be really important to convert our chances and execute our plans perfectly. We are looking forward to a good challenge, and the focus as always will be to play good hockey.”
Coach Schopman too added that China will be tough customers, given that they defend doggedly and are very good at taking penalty corners.
“China is a difficult team to beat, they have a very good PC setup and they also defend well. If we can play our own game we can hopefully create some opportunities,” she said.

ROME (AP) — Drones flew over an Italian Alpine mountainside on Monday seeking to spot any more victims, a day after a huge chunk of a rapidly melting glacier broke loose, sending an avalanche of ice, snow and rocks slamming into hikers. At least six people were killed and an indeterminate number are missing.
Rescuers on Sunday spotted six bodies and said nine injured survivors were found. Attention was focused on determining how many people might have been hiking on the Marmolada peak and are unaccounted for. Sixteen cars remained unclaimed in the area's parking lot.
Authorities were trying to track down occupants through vehicle license plates. It was unclear how many of the cars might have belonged to the already identified victims or to the injured, all of whom were flown by helicopters on Sunday to hospitals in northeastern Italy.
After the search was temporarily halted on Sunday night, officials said about 15 people could be missing, but stressed the situation was evolving.
Rescuers said conditions downslope from the glacier, which has been melting for decades, were still too unstable to immediately send teams of people and dogs to dig into tons of debris.
Premier Mario Draghi and the head of the national Civil Protection agency were expected to go on Monday to Canazei, a tourist town in the Dolomite range which has been serving as a base for rescuers.
Relatives were also expected to go to the town to identify bodies when rescuers can safely remove them from the mountain.
What caused a pinnacle of the glacier to break off and thunder down the slope at a speed estimated by experts at some 300 kph (nearly 200 mph), wasn't immediately known. But the heat wave gripping Italy since May, bringing temperatures unusually high for the start of summer even up in the normally cooler Alps was being cited as a likely factor.
Jacopo Gabrieli, a polar sciences researcher at Italy's state-run CNR research center, noted that the long heat wave, spanning May and June, was the hottest in northern Italy in that period for nearly 20 years.
"It's absolutely an anomaly,'' Gabrieli said in an interview on Italian state TV Monday. Like other experts, he said it would have been impossible to predict when or if a serac — a pinnacle from a glacier's overhang — could break off, as it did on Sunday.
Alpine rescuers on Sunday noted that late last week, the temperature on the 3,300-meter (11,000-foot) high peak had topped 10C (50F), far higher than usual. Operators of rustic shelters along the mountainside said temperatures at the 2,000-meter (6,600 foot) level recently reached 24C (75 F), unheard-of heat in a place where excursionists go in summer to keep cool.
The glacier, in the Marmolada range, is the largest in the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy. People ski on it in the winter. But the glacier has been rapidly melting away over the past decades, with much of its volume gone. Experts at Italy’s state-run CNR research center, which has a polar sciences institute, estimated a couple of years ago that the glacier won’t exist anymore within 25-30 years.
The Mediterranean basin, which includes southern European countries like Italy, has been identified by U.N. experts as a “climate change hot spot,” likely to suffer heat waves and water shortages, among other consequences. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Drones-used-in-search-after-fatal-Italian-glacier-17283150.php | 2022-07-04T09:25:41Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Drones-used-in-search-after-fatal-Italian-glacier-17283150.php | true | 11 |
In the shadow of L.A.'s art deco City Hall, musicians jammed onstage, kids got their faces painted, and families picnicked on lawn chairs. Amid the festivity, people waved flags, sported T-shirts and sold buttons — all emblazoned with a familiar slogan: "My Body, My Choice."
This wasn't an abortion rights rally. It wasn't a protest against the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that gutted Roe v. Wade. It was the "Defeat the Mandates Rally," a jubilant gathering of anti-vaccine activists in April to protest the few remaining COVID-19 guidelines, such as mask mandates on mass transit and vaccination requirements for health care workers.
Similar scenes have played out across the country during the pandemic. Armed with the language of the abortion rights movement, anti-vaccine forces have converged with right-leaning causes to protest COVID precautions.
And they're succeeding. Vaccine opponents have appropriated "My Body, My Choice," a slogan that has been inextricably linked to reproductive rights for nearly half a century, to fight mask and vaccine mandates across the country — including in California, where lawmakers had vowed to adopt the toughest vaccine requirements in the U.S.
As the anti-vaccine contingent has notched successes, the abortion rights movement has taken hit after hit, culminating in the June 24 Supreme Court decision that ended the federal constitutional right to abortion. The ruling leaves it up to states to decide, and up to 26 states are expected to ban or severely limit abortion in the coming months.
Now that anti-vaccination groups have laid claim to "My Body, My Choice," abortion rights groups are distancing themselves from it — marking a stunning annexation of political messaging.
"It's a really savvy co-option of reproductive rights and the movement's framing of the issue," said Lisa Ikemoto, a law professor at the University of California-Davis Feminist Research Institute. "It strengthens the meaning of choice in the anti-vaccine space and detracts from the meaning of that word in the reproductive rights space."
Framing the decision to vaccinate as a singularly personal one also obscures its public health consequences, Ikemoto said, because vaccines are used to protect not just one person but a community of people by stopping the spread of a disease to those who can't protect themselves.
Celinda Lake, a Democratic strategist and pollster based in Washington, D.C., said "My Body, My Choice" is no longer polling well with Democrats because they associate it with anti-vaccination sentiment.
"What's really unique about this is that you don't usually see one side's base adopting the message of the other side's base — and succeeding," she said. "That's what makes this so fascinating."
Jodi Hicks, president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, acknowledged that the appropriation of abortion rights terminology has worked against the reproductive rights movement. "In this moment, to co-opt that messaging and distract from the work that we're doing, and using it to spread misinformation, is frustrating and it's disappointing," Hicks said.
She said the movement was already gravitating away from the phrase. Even where abortion is legal, she said, some women can't "choose" to get one because of financial or other barriers. The movement is now focusing more heavily on access to health care, using catchphrases such as "Bans Off Our Bodies" and "Say Abortion," Hicks said.
The growth of the anti-vaccination movement
Vaccination hasn't always been this political, said Jennifer Reich, a sociology professor at the University of Colorado-Denver, who has written a book about why parents refuse vaccines for their kids. Opposition to vaccines grew in the 1980s among parents concerned about school vaccine requirements. Those parents said they didn't have enough information about vaccines' potential harmful effects, but it wasn't partisan at the time, Reich said.
The issue exploded onto the political scene after a measles outbreak tied to Disneyland sickened at least 140 people in 2014 and 2015. When California lawmakers moved to prohibit parents from claiming personal belief exemptions for required childhood vaccines, opponents organized around the idea of "medical choice" and "medical freedom." Those opponents spanned the political spectrum, Reich said.
Then came COVID. The Trump administration politicized the pandemic from the outset, starting with masks and stay-at-home orders. Republican leaders and white evangelicals implemented that strategy on the ground, Reich said, arguing against vaccine mandates when COVID vaccines were still only theoretical — scaring people with rhetoric about the loss of personal choice and images of vaccine passports.
They gained traction despite an obvious inconsistency, she said: Often, the same people who oppose vaccine requirements — arguing that it's a matter of choice — are against abortion rights.
"What's really changed is that in the last two or so years, it's become highly partisan," Reich said.
Joshua Coleman leads V is for Vaccine, a group that opposes vaccine mandates. He said he deploys the phrase strategically depending on what state he's working in.
"In a state or a city that is more pro-life, they're not going to connect with that messaging, they don't believe in full bodily autonomy," Coleman said.
But in places like California, he takes his "My Body, My Choice" rhetoric where he thinks it will be effective, like the annual Women's March, where he says he can sometimes get feminists to consider his perspective.
Co-opting the slogan
Perception of the word "choice" has changed over time, said Alyssa Wulf, a cognitive linguist based in Oakland, Calif. The word now evokes an image of an isolated decision that doesn't affect the broader community, she said. It can frame an abortion seeker as self-centered, and a vaccine rejector as an individual making a personal health choice, Wulf said.
Beyond linguistics, anti-vaccination activists are playing politics, intentionally trolling the abortion rights groups by using their words against them, Wulf said. "I really believe there's a little bit of an 'eff you' in that," Wulf said. "We're going to take your phrase."
Tom Blodget, a retired Spanish-language instructor from Chico, Calif., sported a "My Body, My Choice" shirt — complete with an image of a cartoon syringe — at the Defeat the Mandates Rally in Los Angeles. It was "an ironic thing," he said, meant to expose what he sees as the hypocrisy of Democrats who support both abortion and vaccine mandates. Blodget said he is "pro-life" and believes that COVID vaccines are not immunizations but a form of gene therapy, which is not true.
For Blodget, and many other anti-vaccination activists, there is no inconsistency in this position. Abortion is not a personal health decision akin to getting a shot, they say: It is simply murder.
"Women say they can have an abortion because it's their body," Blodget said. "If that's a valid thing for a lot of people, why should I have to take an injection of some concoction?"
About a week later and nearly 400 miles to the north in Sacramento, state lawmakers heard testimony on bills about abortion and COVID vaccines. Two protests, one against abortion and one against vaccine mandates, converged. Truckers from the "People's Convoy," a group that opposes COVID mandates that had been touring the country with its message of "medical freedom," testified against a bill that would stop police from investigating miscarriages or stillbirths as murders. Anti-abortion activists lined up to oppose a bill that would update reporting requirements to the state's vaccine registry.
"My Body, My Choice" was ubiquitous: Kids petting police horses in front of the Capitol wore T-shirts with the slogan, and truckers watching a sword dance toted signs above their heads.
At the time, two tough legislative proposals to mandate COVID vaccines for schoolchildren and most workers had already been shelved without a vote. One controversial vaccination proposal remained: a bill to allow children 12 and older to get COVID vaccines without parental consent.
Lawmakers have since watered down the measure, raising the minimum age to 15, and it awaits crucial votes. They have shifted their attention to the latest political earthquake: abortion.

JOHOR BARU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysia should lift its export ban of chicken to Singapore before the local industry loses out, says the Johor Poultry Breeders Association here.
With the island republic's approval of Indonesia as its new source of frozen, chilled and processed chicken meat, Malaysia's poultry breeders would lose out significantly, said association secretary Lau Ka Leng.
"It's not too late if the government lifts the ban now as the approval has just kicked in. But if we wait even a bit longer, chicken breeders will suffer the consequences.
"Once Singapore commits to having Indonesia as its source of chicken, it would take us a long time to be able to export chicken to the country again, even after the ban is lifted," he said.
In a Facebook post last Thursday (June 30), the Singapore Food Agency said Indonesia had been approved as the republic's new source of frozen, chilled and processed chicken meat. Singapore's existing sources include Brazil, Thailand and Australia.
In early June, Malaysia had imposed a ban on the export of chicken to Singapore until domestic prices and production stabilise.
Beginning July 1, the ceiling price for standard chicken in Peninsular Malaysia has been fixed at RM9.40 (S$2.98) per kilo.
But Mr Lau said that in the long run, Singapore would likely have Malaysia as its main source of chicken again.
"The price of chicken in Malaysia is still among the cheapest in South-East Asia and the birds we produce are larger in size. There is hope that Singapore will still get its chicken from us but this will take a long time to happen, years even," he said. | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/lift-chicken-ban-to-singapore-before-we-lose-out-say-malaysias-poultry-breeders | 2022-07-04T09:27:36Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/lift-chicken-ban-to-singapore-before-we-lose-out-say-malaysias-poultry-breeders | false | 2 |
I’m a size 16 and picked up the perfect light trousers for summer from Tesco, they’re so flattering
TOO thick, too tight or too loose.
They're just some of the issues people can have when searching for the perfect pair of summer trousers.
But one woman claims to have found an absolute steal from her local Tesco.
Lilli took to her TikTok page to share her clothing haul from the supermarket, as she urged: "If you don’t know yet, get to know.
"Go to your local Tesco, F&F, because genuinely they have some of the nicest stuff in there at the moment."
One of the most popular items in the haul was a pair of green trousers, which Lilli picked up in a size 16.
"Ok but can we just appreciate these trousers?" she said as she showed off the eye-catching outfit.
"So cute! Again, from Tesco, size 16, teamed with this little vest top from H&M and perfect for a holiday.
"Also just to add I think these were like £14 or £16 so they’re so affordable."
She added: "If you’re looking for Zara trousers, these ones from Tesco are a really good dupe."

Another one of her favourite buys from the store was a gingham maxi dress with puff sleeves.
"This is the cutest frigging dress you’ve ever seen," she gushed.
"It’s an orange/yellow gingham style dress.
"How adorable?! I feel like I’ve gone frolicking in the fields or something!"
"You look beautiful in everything but you in the dress," one person commented on the video.

Motorists using Sydney’s Lane Cove Tunnel face years of disruption with its operators alleging the toll road is plagued by almost 400 defects that will cost $300 million to fix.
Transurban is suing builders Thiess and John Holland over the issues with the 3.6 kilometre roadway which includes concrete lining that is “bulging” and “cracking” in parts of the tunnel roof. Sections of roof lining have also fallen down leaving “water dripping onto the roadway”.
Thiess and John Holland, who have made cross claims against their design engineers, were awarded the $1.1 billion contract to build the tunnel in 2003. It opened four years later and is now used by 80,000 vehicles a day.
Transurban claims the extensive repairs needed could take decades to fix and will cost $300 million but only if the work can be completed before the motorway is handed back to the NSW government in 2048.
Otherwise, the costs will likely double. The reason repairs will take so long is that inspection, testing and remediation can only occur during planned overnight closures of the tunnel between 10pm and 5am.
During construction the twin tunnels were cut through sandstone and the ceiling was sprayed with shotcrete - a type of concrete that was used to protect the exposed rock and stop fragments from falling onto the roadway.
Under the contract, the ceiling liner for the tunnel beneath Sydney’s north shore should last 100 years.
However, a NSW Supreme Court document seen by Nine News alleges defects have been found in 201 locations along 76 per cent of the length of the eastbound tunnel. Flaws have also been located in 188 areas across 65 per cent of the westbound tunnel.
It is claimed defects have also been picked up in two ventilation tunnels.
Transurban sought expert opinion from geotechnical engineer John Braybrooke, who said in a report that “the design for the tunnel elements and the tunnel elements themselves are not fit for purpose … and are affected by poor workmanship”.
The alleged faults include “numerous cracks ... and in places, the shotcrete is bulging away from the underlying rock or has fallen”.
Braybrooke also alleged “seepage including onto the road pavement, and inadequate drainage and poor workmanship, in that the shotcrete had not been applied to the specified thickness in some areas”.
Transurban claims the shotcrete will now need to be replaced, refurbished and significantly maintained.
The multi-million dollar legal battle has quietly been running for five years.
Michael Fraser from Operation Redress told Nine News the civil claim was in the public interest and Transurban, which is an ASX-listed company, should have been up front with users.
“There is concern that if the repairs aren’t done soon enough, it may increase the risk to the public”, he said.
In a statement, Transurban said safety was its “number-one priority”.
“All our assets, including the Lane Cove Tunnel, undergo strict and regular maintenance checks to ensure they are safe for all motorists,” it said.
“The tunnel was not built but was acquired by Transurban three years after opening in 2010.”
Thiess’s parent company, Cimic, would not comment on the court action. John Holland also said it would not comment.
The two companies took civil action of their own after an incident in 2005 when an apartment complex collapsed during excavation of the motorway.
The incident happened when the roof area of a ventilation tunnel caved in, creating a sinkhole and forcing the evacuation of around 50 residents. No one was injured.
In that case, the geotechnical engineer was found to have breached its contractual obligation and was ordered to pay $6.8 million.
A decision on who is to blame and who will pay for the latest legal battle is a long way off, with a date yet to be set for a trial.

IFC’s Green Loan to Boost Market Resilience of Green Commercial Property in Romania
As the property sector in Romania recovers slowly from the COVID-19 pandemic, a new investment by IFC will help ensure continued access to quality and environmentally friendly commercial office spaces. IFC’s €85 million loan to Globalworth Holdings Cyprus Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalworth Real Estate Limited (GREIL), aims to promote and expand green projects in Romania while creating jobs and supporting the country’s climate goals.
IFC’s long-term funding will help the company—the largest office investor in Romania in terms of market value and gross lettable area—strengthen its liquidity position and achieve its environmental goals—100% of its commercial portfolio to be green. The company has an investment property portfolio of modern and energy-efficient commercial property assets spread across Romania and Poland. About 90 percent of the company’s standing commercial portfolio is comprised of environmentally friendly offices. In the face of uncertain market conditions exacerbated by the global pandemic and the recent war in Ukraine, IFC’s investment will further allow GREIL to sustain operations, deliver investment projects, and launch new green projects in Romania.
The current loan is funded through IFC’s $2 billion Real Sector Crisis Response Facility, part of IFC’s broader $8 billion COVID-19 Fast-Track Financing Facility to support private companies and their employees hurt by the economic downturn caused by the global pandemic.
“We are delighted, through this Loan, to be extending our collaboration with IFC. It is our first green loan since we launched our inaugural green bond back in 2020 and we believe it firmly demonstrates the sustainability of the Globalworth business and the markets in which Globalworth operates,” stated Mihai Zaharia, Head of Investments Romania and Group Capital Markets Director, Globalworth.
IFC has helped GREIL develop a Green Loan Framework, which is in line with the Loan Market Association’s Green Loan Principles 2021. Under the Green Loan Framework, GREIL will use Green Loans to finance or refinance eligible projects which will mainly contribute to climate change mitigation.
“IFC strategy in Romania is focused on promoting a green, resilient and inclusive development,” said Ary Naïm, IFC’s Regional Manager for Central and Southeast Europe. “We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Globalworth, leading developer of green buildings and signal confidence in Romania`s office sector at the exit of the COVID-19 crisis.”
This is IFC’s second financing to GREIL, following a €50 million investment in a public bond issued by the company in 2018. | https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/ifcs-green-loan-to-boost-market-resilience-of-green-commercial-property-in-romania/ | 2022-07-04T09:42:21Z | https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/ifcs-green-loan-to-boost-market-resilience-of-green-commercial-property-in-romania/ | true | 1 |

The anonymous internet user, identified as "ChinaDan", posted on hacker forum Breach Forums last week offering to sell the more than 23 terabytes (TB) of data for 10 bitcoin, equivalent to about $200,000.
"In 2022, the Shanghai National Police (SHGA) database was leaked. This database contains many TB of data and information on Billions of Chinese citizen," the post said.
"Databases contain information on 1 Billion Chinese national residents and several billion case records, including: name, address, birthplace, national ID number, mobile number, all crime/case details."
Reuters was unable to verify the authenticity of the post.
The Shanghai government and police department did not respond to requests for comment on Monday.
Reuters was also unable to reach the self-proclaimed hacker, ChinaDan, but the post was widely discussed on China's Weibo and WeChat social media platforms over the weekend with many users worried it could be real.
The hashtag "data leak" was blocked on Weibo by Sunday afternoon.
Kendra Schaefer, head of tech policy research at Beijing-based consultancy Trivium China, said in a post on Twitter it was "hard to parse truth from rumour mill".
If the material the hacker claimed to have came from the Ministry of Public Security, it would be bad for "a number of reasons", Schaefer said.
"Most obviously it would be among biggest and worst breaches in history," she said.
Zhao Changpeng, CEO of Binance, said on Monday the cryptocurrency exchange had stepped up user verification processes after the exchange's threat intelligence detected the sale of records belonging to 1 billion residents of an Asian country on the dark web.
He said on Twitter that a leak could have happened due to "a bug in an Elastic Search deployment by a (government) agency", without saying if he was referring to the Shanghai police case. He did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
The claim of a hack comes as China has vowed to improve protection of online user data privacy, instructing its tech giants to ensure safer storage after public complaints about mismanagement and misuse.
Last year, China passed new laws governing how personal information and data generated within its borders should be handled.

Former state Liberal Party president John Ridley has called for the men-only Athenaeum Club to open its doors to women or become irrelevant, after “young fogeys” were found to be the most resistant to change.
The exclusive club, on Collins Street in Melbourne, commissioned a confidential survey this year of 700 members, which found younger men were more conservative and opposed to change. Footage of an hour-long briefing last month, leaked to The Age, showed it remained a divisive proposition.
Forty-four per cent of surveyed members supported welcoming women into the club, and 51 per cent supported starting a discussion about the possibility. More than 60 per cent wanted to open up more areas of the club to female guests, create a partner pass, or build relationships with women-only clubs.
It is not the first time the club has tested the issue. Ridley resigned from the club in protest in 2009 after trying to open the Athenaeum to women. Former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel and ex-Collingwood president and broadcaster Eddie McGuire also pushed for change.
“It was just pathetic,” Ridley said. “It was what we called the young fogeys with the problem. It wasn’t only them, but it was a shock to us that so many of the younger members were the most strongly opposed.”
He said the committee should have the courage to welcome women, as it would also boost its membership and lift its profile and credibility. He agreed with the findings of the club-commissioned research that continuing to block women would result in a narrower and narrower group.
“If you’re a forward-looking progressive person, why would you go? Why would you join?” Ridley said.
Club president Peter Brannighan declined to comment on what he described as a private matter.
At the June 2 briefing, he told members: “The issue of female members is completely off the table for four years.” He said the reason it was raised was due to dwindling membership, which had since recovered.
Athenaeum’s latest annual report said 140 members joined the club in 2021, its biggest membership increase in more than three decades, growing to more than 1300.
One current high-profile member, who declined to be named because speaking publicly could result in his expulsion, said keeping women out of the club was “nuts”.
“I think it’s f---ing mad. I think it’s f---ing nuts,” he said.
About 40 per cent of surveyed members told the researchers they opposed female membership altogether. Nine per cent said they would probably cancel their membership if women were allowed to join. Thirteen per cent said they did not have strong views on the question.
Men pay thousands of dollars to join the society, which claims to be one of Australia’s oldest – it was created in 1868 – and finest private social clubs for “gentlemen of good character” and offers total privacy.
Other private men’s clubs in the city include the Melbourne Club and Melbourne Savage Club. Private women’s clubs include the Alexandra Club and Melbourne Lyceum Club.
The elite Australian Club in Sydney last year voted to remain men’s-only, although women can attend as guests.
The Athenaeum Club in London has admitted women since 2002.
Ridley went on to establish the Melbourne Forum, which is open to everyone, with other members of the Athenaeum splinter group.
Samuel, who resigned from the Athenaeum when he was chairman of the ACCC, said the committee should be willing to lose the 9 per cent of men who threatened to cancel their membership.
“I don’t know what they’re worried about, good God,” Samuel said.
“You can’t help but say, ‘what is wrong, for heaven’s sake?’ ... I want to hear the views of everyone, I don’t just want to hear the views of a select group of men.”
Terry Moran, formerly the secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, who also walked away from the club, said “young fogeys” were behind what he described as continued discrimination.
“The club purports to bring together people who are in leadership positions ... you can’t do that if you don’t include 50 per cent of the population,” Moran said.
Leaked footage of the June 2 meeting showed Peter Singline, a researcher overseeing the survey, saying the influx of conservative young members could lead to “a very single-minded mindset about what life is all about”.
“I don’t know how you’d address this, but it feels to me that younger members represent a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you joined recently, then you joined feeling that ‘this is exactly what I want’,” he said.

Burger King employee awarded gift bag for never missing a day in 27 years receives $300K in donations
The GoFundMe for Burger King employee Kevin Ford has nearly 11,000 donations including one from actor David Spade
A Burger King employee who never missed work in 27 years has received more than $300,000 in donations after a viral video showed his job only gave him a bag of small gifts as a reward.
Kevin Ford, 54, has worked as cashier and cook at a Las Vegas Burger King since 1995. His managers decided to thank him for his dedication to the company on his 27th work anniversary by giving him a bag of items, which included a movie ticket, a Starbucks cup and candy.
A video of him gratefully accepting the gifts and thanking his coworkers soon went viral on multiple platforms. Many social media users were upset at what they felt was as a minimal reward.
Ford's daughter then created a GoFundMe page for her dad, so he could receive a bigger reward for his nearly three decades of work at the burger chain. She had originally set the target goal at $200, but the campaign has raised more than $328,000 as of July 4.

"The man in that video is my father. He has worked at his job for 27 years and yes, he has never missed a day of work. He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago. Then as our family grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized," Ford's daughter, Seryna, wrote on the donation page.

"My dad continues to work there, because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age and leaving would cost him his retirement," she continued. "In no way are we asking for money or is he expecting any money but if anyone feels like blessing him he would love to visit his grandchildren."
Ford's wish to visit his grandchildren came true when he was flown out to New York City on Tuesday for a TV interview. He was reunited with his grandchildren live on-air after not seeing them in more than four years.
"I've been crying for all these days as it is and of course I’m crying live on TV again seeing my grandbabies," he said in the interview.
CHICK-FIL-A IS AMERICA'S FAVORITE RESTAURANT FOR 8TH YEAR IN A ROW
The nearly 11,000 donations on the GoFundMe include one from actor David Spade, who gave $5,000. Spade also sent Ford a personal message on Instagram.
Ford explained that he has not made any plans for how he will use his new fortune.

More than 30,000 residents of Sydney and its surrounds were told to evacuate or prepare to abandon their homes Monday as Australia’s largest city faces its fourth, and possibly worst, round of flooding in less than a year and a half.
Days of torrential rain caused dams to overflow and waterways to break their banks, bringing a new flood emergency to parts of the city of 5 million people.
“The latest information we have is that there’s a very good chance that the flooding will be worse than any of the other three floods that those areas had in the last 18 months,” Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt said.
The current flooding might affect areas that were spared during the previous floods in March last year, March this year and April, Watt added.
New South Wales state Premier Dominic Perrottet said 32,000 people were impacted by evacuation orders and warnings.
“You’d probably expect to see that number increase over the course of the week,” Perrottet said.
Emergency services made numerous flood rescues Sunday and early Monday and were getting hundreds more calls for help.
U.S. & World
Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology manager Jane Golding said some areas between Newcastle, north of Sydney, and Wollongong, south of Sydney had received more than a meter (39 inches) of rain in the previous 24 hours. Some has received more than 1.5 meters (59 inches).
Those totals are near the average annual rainfall for coastal areas of New South Wales.
“The system that has been generating this weather does show signs that it will ease tomorrow, but throughout today, expect more rain,” Golding said.
Rain was forecast across New South Wales’s coast, including Sydney, all week, she said.
The Bureau of Meteorology says up to 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) of rain could fall in Sydney on Monday.
The flooding danger was highest along the Hawkesbury River, in northwest Sydney, and the Nepean River in Sydney’s west.
The bureau Monday afternoon reported major flooding at the Nepean communities of Menangle and Wallacia on Sydney’s southwest fringe.
Major flooding also occurred on the Hawkesbury at North Richmond on Sydney’s northwest edge. The Hawkesbury communities of Windsor and Lower Portland were expected to be flooded Monday afternoon and Wisemans Ferry on Tuesday, a bureau statement said.
State Emergency Services Commissioner Carlene York said strong winds had toppled trees, damaging rooves and blocking roads. She advised against unnecessary travel.
Off the New South Wales coast, a cargo ship with 21 crew members lost power after leaving port in Wollongong on Monday morning. It was anchored near the coast and tugboats were preparing to tug it into safer, open waters.
The ship has engineers on board capable of repairing the engine, port official John Finch told reporters. “Unfortunately, we just happen to be in some atrocious conditions at the moment,” he said, describing 8-meter (26-foot) swells and winds blowing at 30 knots (34 mph).
An earlier plan to airlift the ship’s crew to safety was abandoned because of bad weather.
Repeated flooding was taking a toll on members of a riverside community southwest of Sydney, said Mayor Theresa Fedeli of the Camden municipality where homes and businesses were inundated by the Nepean River over Sunday night.
“It’s just devastating. They just keep on saying ‘devastating, not again,’” Fedeli said.
“I just keep on saying ... ‘We’ve got to be strong, we will get through this.’ But you know deep down it’s really hitting home hard to a lot of people,” she added.
Perrottet said government and communities needed to adapt to major flooding becoming more common across Australia’s most populous state.
“To see what we’re seeing right across Sydney, there’s no doubt these events are becoming more common. And governments need to adjust and make sure that we respond to the changing environment that we find ourselves in,” Perrottet said. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/3-feet-of-rain-brings-4th-round-of-flood-misery-for-sydney-in-18-months/2872655/ | 2022-07-04T10:17:03Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/3-feet-of-rain-brings-4th-round-of-flood-misery-for-sydney-in-18-months/2872655/ | true | 21 |
EasyJet passengers have shared shocking footage of their flight from Gatwick to Menorca being escorted by Spanish fighter jets. The F18 warplane was pictured flying alongside the EasyJet Airbus A319, terrifying many holidaymakers.
A video of the incident was shared on social media with the tweet receiving thousands of views. It shows the fighter plane pulling close to the wing of the civilian aircraft and tipping its wings - a symbol understood by pilots to mean "follow me".
The easyJet plane, known as flight EZY8303, complied and was escorted until it touched down on the Spanish island of Menorca. Due to the disruption the flight landed 30 minutes late and was held on the runway for almost 4 hours.

EasyJet confirmed the incident occurred while the passenger plane was landing yesterday in Menorca, The Sun reported.
A spokesman said: "EasyJet can confirm flight EZY8303 from London Gatwick to Menorca was escorted by military aircraft while landing in Menorca and delayed disembarking due to precautionary security checks.
"The passengers have since disembarked. The safety and security of its passengers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority and we would like to thank passengers for their understanding."
There are strict rules that military aircraft must follow with intercepting a civilian plane, with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) rules saying that it should only be done as "last resort". The rules require there to be two planes one that then pulls alongside while the second fighter hangs back behind the passenger jet's tail.
The pilots then make visual contact and rock their wings to acknowledge the intercept. The civilian aircraft must then follow the fighter jets.

Govt imposes windfall tax on oil producers, raises import duty on gold
-
The windfall taxes imposed by the government on domestic crude oil production and fuel exports will hit ONGC's earnings severely while shaving off up to USD 12 per barrel in refining margins for Reliance Industries Ltd. The new levies will give the government up to Rs 1.3 trillion additional revenue, brokerages said.
In a surprise move, the government on July 1 increased import duties on gold (by 5 per cent), added export duties on petrol and ATF (Rs 6/litre; USD 12 per barrel) and diesel (Rs 13/liter; USD 26/bbl) and slapped a windfall tax on domestic crude production (Rs 23,250 per tonne; USD 40/bbl).
This follows earlier duties imposed on steel (15 per cent) and iron ore (up 20-45 per cent).
While the export tax will be applicable on only-for-exports refinery of Reliance Industries (RIL), the restriction on product exports wherein at least 30-50 per cent is first supplied domestically will not apply to SEZ units.
HSBC Global Research in a note said in May 2022, the government announced a cut in the excise duty of Rs 8 per litre on petrol and Rs 6 a litre on diesel, which is estimated to have reduced its revenues by Rs 1 trillion.
"The additional excise duty just announced and effective from July 1, 2022 aims to fill this revenue gap. We estimate these taxes could generate Rs 1.2 trillion in government revenue and could also discourage the export of products which are being diverted away from the domestic market." The windfall tax on crude production could generate revenue of Rs 65,600 crore and tax on export products another Rs 52,700 crore if they were to be continued for the full year.
Kotak Institutional Equities said the taxes will result in additional tax revenues of Rs 1.3 trillion on an annualised basis and Rs 1 trillion for the rest of FY2023 assuming the government retains the taxes for the entire year.
UBS estimated that the government can raise Rs 1.38 trillion annually from additional taxes.
"Based on diesel and gasoline export volumes in past year and estimate for FY23, we estimate additional revenues of Rs 68,000 crore on three transportation fuels. Similarly, windfall taxes on crude can raise Rs 70,000 crore in additional revenues." Nomura said the windfall taxes could potentially impact RIL's GRM by USD 12 per barrel (Rs 47,000 crore on an annualised basis).
Goldman Sachs said it saw limited earnings risk for RIL (despite wide scenarios of USD 1.5-12.7 risk to gross refining margins or GRMs from new taxes) as the spot implied GRM run rate is over USD 27 per barrel.
HSBC said while the new tax will lower ONGC earnings by Rs 30 per share, its impact on RIL would be Rs 36 a share.
"We continue to believe the loss on its domestic marketing margin is still greater than the export tax, and thus, we believe RIL is likely to continue to export significant amounts," HSBC said.
JP Morgan said while the duties on steel/iron ore helped reduce domestic prices and curb inflation, a higher tax on gold should decrease imports and help the external balance marginally. "Yet, Friday's (July 1) measures will serve squarely to raise revenue for the government." Duties on crude oil should raise an additional USD 3-4 billion (net of lower royalties, income taxes and dividends) while the gold duty can raise USD 1.5-2 billion annualized. Export taxes on diesel/petrol can raise close to USD 9 billion gross per annum, it said adding the revenue for current fiscal will be 75 per cent of these numbers.
"The government intent appears to be to maximise revenues from upstream producers by capping their upside from higher oil prices as well as disincentivising refined product exports by private refiners to ensure domestic fuel availability isn't compromised," Citi said in a note.
The USD 40 per barrel windfall tax is "a material negative for ONGC in particular where earnings are likely to be severely impacted," it said.
On the top of the new levy, ONGC will continue to pay oil 20 per cent (a fifth of the oil price) as OIDB cess and another 10-20 per cent royalty. The net realisation for ONGC will be around 40 per cent of the oil price.
The gross refining margin (GRM) impact for RIL assuming two-thirds of its diesel, petrol and ATF were being exported, could be USD 9-10 per barrel, Citi said adding the firm must be currently earning USD 25 per barrel GRM.
"The earnings impact for RIL is likely to be less material given offsets from marking-to-market for current GRM strength, which would likely preclude earnings upgrades rather than drive major downgrades." Kotak said it does not "see much merit in the government's decision to impose export duties on exports from RIL's SEZ refinery. The government has cited increased exports of diesel and gasoline and lower availability of such products for the domestic market as a key reason to impose the exports tax. However, RIL's SEZ refinery was set up for exports and its products were not intended for sale in the domestic market".
It said demand-supply analysis of petroleum products shows that there is enough availability of diesel and petrol for the domestic market even excluding volumes from RIL's SEZ refinery.
Haitong said India's total diesel demand is 80-83 million tonnes while the total PSU diesel supply is 65-68 million tonnes.
"Therefore, the rest can be met by private players like RIL and Nayara Energy. Similarly, total consumption of petrol in India stands at 30-31 million tonnes while PSUs supply is 21-22 million tonnes. Therefore, one-third of India's consumption can be fulfilled through private players." According to CLSA, RIL's GRMs may be hit by USD 5-6 per barrel due to the new tax.
It said the new taxes would give the government extra annual revenue of Rs 1.1 trillion ($14 billion), negating the Rs 97,000 crore revenue loss from the excise duty cut done about six weeks ago.
Credit Suisse said the impact on RIL from cess on the export of petroleum products is about USD 7-8 per barrel, translating to an annualized impact of USD 3.5-4.0 billion on EBITDA.

Residents have been urged to attend or cancel their bookings at Dudley Council’s tip, as figures reveal thousands of people are failing to keep appointments every month.
Figures show one in eight people booking a slot are failing to turn up which equates to around 2,000 bookings a month.
Weekends are particularly impacted, with around 100 people failing to turn up each day.
The site, located on Birmingham Street in Stourbridge, accepts bookings for household garden, recycling and general waste from across the borough.
Those who wish to use the site can book same day and future slots online.
Once a booking has been made, people are urged to either keep or cancel their appointments following incidents where people have not attended the slot.
Bosses say the problem can have a negative impact on the service and are reminding people they are not restricted on the number of bookings they can make and appointments should be cancelled if no longer needed.
Councillor Shaz Saleem, cabinet member for highways and public realm, said: "The Household Waste and Recycling centre accepts many items from recyclables such as cardboards, textiles, batteries, oils and electrical items to general waste.
"Many residents use the site to dispose of additional gardening and household waste including bigger items such as wood and metals that would be too bulky for the kerbside collection scheme.
"Booking to use the site is very easy through our online system, which also enables people to cancel and reschedule at the touch of a button.
"This information helps the fantastic team who manage the site to keep it operating so efficiently, and I would like to extend my thanks to them for all they do.
"Unfortunately, we have had many instances of people book a slot but not show up which can impact negatively on the service and block slots for others.
"We have also found the final two hours of operation to be very quiet, so we are asking people to make the most of the service this summer before we review our opening hours"
Summer opening hours run until September 30, with the site open 8am to 4pm on Saturday and Sundays and 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/dudley/2022/07/04/thousands-of-bookings-going-to-waste-each-month-at-black-country-tip/ | 2022-07-04T10:27:07Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/dudley/2022/07/04/thousands-of-bookings-going-to-waste-each-month-at-black-country-tip/ | true | 1 |

Historically, doctors have played a big role in abortion's legality. Back in the 1860s, physicians with the newly-formed American Medical Association worked to outlaw abortion in the U.S.
A century later, they were doing the opposite.
In the 1950s and 1960s, when states were liberalizing abortion laws, "the charge for that actually came from doctors who said, 'This is insane, we can't practice medicine, we can't exercise our medical judgment if you're telling us that this is off the table,' " explains Melissa Murray, law professor at New York University.
The Supreme Court ruled in doctors' favor in Roe v. Wade in 1973. The majority opinion spoke of "the right of a woman in consultation with her physician to choose an abortion," Murray says.
Yet doctors and patients are all but absent from the latest Supreme Court majority opinion on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. In fact, in the opinion, Justice Samuel Alito uses the derogatory term "abortionist" instead of physician or doctor or obstetrician-gynecologist.
Legal experts say that signals a major shift in how the court views abortion, and creates a perilous new legal reality for physicians. In states where abortion is restricted, health care providers may be in the position of counseling patients who want an abortion, including those facing pregnancy complications, in a legal context that treats them as potential criminals.
"Alito's framing is that abortion is and was a crime – that's the language he uses," says Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis. There's no dispute, she says, that "the result of a decision overruling Roe in the short term is going to be the criminalization of doctors."
Roe v. Wade was doctor-centered
Doctors were at the heart of the court's first landmark ruling on abortion, Roe v. Wade.
"The original Roe decision – it was very, very doctor-centered – extremely so," says Ziegler, who has written extensively on the legal history of abortion. "At its inception, this was a right that was very much about health care and about the doctor-patient relationship."
Roe and the abortion decisions that came after it like Planned Parenthood v. Casey, "had the framework that abortion is some sort of individual right, but it's also health care," explains Carmel Shachar, executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
The court essentially told states: "You can put restrictions on abortion services and on provider qualifications as you do for other types of health care, and as long as they are not so onerous that we think they're implicating Roe and Casey, we're fine with that," Shachar says.
State legislatures that wanted to restrict abortion did so using the apparatus of health care regulation, she says.
Those restrictions have included informed consent laws, waiting periods, telemedicine restrictions, clinic regulations, hospital admitting requirements for providers, insurance restrictions and more.
The effort to restrict abortion through medically unnecessary regulations – "was simultaneously, I think, treating abortion as health care and delegitimizing the idea that abortion is health care," Ziegler says.
These regulations often tried to control the details of how doctors provide abortions more strictly than other areas of medicine, she notes. "The anti-abortion movement's framing was basically, 'We're protecting women from the 'abortion industry' by regulating the way abortion providers work.' "
A new legal framework
A more recent abortion decision – Gonzales v. Carhart in 2007 – previewed the Supreme Court's move away from deferring to doctors in the context of abortion, Ziegler says. At stake was the legality of so-called "partial birth abortion," a procedure used to perform late-term abortions, which Congress had banned in 2003.
"The fight in that case was about whether doctors get to define what this procedure is and whether it's needed for patients or whether Congress does," she says. "The Supreme Court in the case essentially says, if there's any kind of disagreement about science – legislators get to break the tie."
In Dobbs, the latest decision about abortion from the Supreme Court, "it's an even bigger breach because there's not even the pretense of caring about doctors," she says.
Supporters of the Dobbs opinion don't see the absence of physicians as an omission. Abortion "really doesn't have any place in the practice of medicine," Dr. Christina Francis of the Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists told NPR after the decision was released. Her group submitted an amicus brief in the Dobbs case, which urged the court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In his opinion for the majority, Alito quotes the Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks, which called abortion "a barbaric practice, dangerous for the maternal patient, and demeaning to the medical profession."
Ziegler says the idea has been percolating for years in the anti-abortion movement "that abortion was not medicine, was not health care." She says it was fueled in the 1980s when Bernard Nathanson, a doctor who formerly provided abortions, had a political and religious conversion.
"He wrote this book in the '80s called Aborting America, which was what he called an exposé of the 'abortion industry,' " she explains. "That term really caught on with the anti-abortion movement – that essentially abortion was a for-profit industry, kind of like the tobacco industry."
That idea has continued to be powerful and its influence is apparent in Dobbs, she says. Alito's opinion reflects the idea that "abortion providers are not doctors in the sense we usually understand – that they were historically thought of as criminals and what they're doing is unprotected."
A 'glaring' omission
Many doctors and legal analysts adamantly disagree with Alito's view. Two dozen medical groups, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association, told the court that abortion is a key part of reproductive health care, that it is safe, and that doctors need to be able to treat patients without government interference.
"I think the failure to consider the interests of the pregnant person and of the clinicians that treat them [in the majority opinion] was glaring," says Molly Meegan, chief legal officer and general counsel at ACOG. She adds the use of the term "abortionist" in the opinion was "inflammatory, inaccurate – these are clinicians, these are providers, these are medical professionals."
Shachar at Harvard takes issue with the "history and traditions" approach Alito used in his analysis to determine that abortion is not a protected right, focusing on statutes from the 19th century.
"Medical care has just changed so dramatically from – bite a bullet and we'll amputate your leg," she says. "It's really shocking to say, 'We need to go by the historical conception,' when we have all agreed that we want to live in a modern society that has medical care, that doesn't treat women like chattel."
Michele Goodwin, who directs the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy at UC Irvine, says Dobbs and the state abortion laws that can now take effect single out physicians who provide abortions "for disparate treatment amongst various other kinds of care."
"That would be one thing if, in fact, these were very risky procedures that led to high rates of mortality, but, in fact, it's just the opposite," she says. Abortion is very safe, she adds, pointing out that pregnancy leads to death 14 times more often than an abortion. That means that doctors who provide abortions "are absolutely essential, actually, in the provision of reproductive health care," she says.
The role of doctors ahead
Physicians who provide abortions are in an incredibly difficult spot as they try to navigate the new legal landscape, especially in cases where a pregnant patient is sick or has complications. Intervene, and you risk violating the law and being sued, losing your medical license, even going to jail. Don't intervene and you could be risking your patient's life, and potentially being sued by the patient or family.
"We are hearing from our doctors on the ground at all times of day and night," says Meegan of ACOG. "They are scared, they are in an impossible situation, and they don't know how to define laws that are happening by the minute."
Dr. Katie McHugh is an OB-GYN who provides labor and delivery and abortion care at several clinics around Indiana, where abortion is currently still legal. Since the Supreme Court decision, she's seen a wave of new patients coming from Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky for abortion care. She's trying to keep track of the laws in these neighboring states to know what she can do for these patients.
"We're trying to be very, very careful," she says. "Especially as things are evolving, I'm sure that I have made a mistake. And it is so scary to me to know that I'm not only worrying about my patients' medical safety, which I always worry about, but now I am worrying about their legal safety, my own legal safety."
"The criminalization of both patients and providers is incredibly disruptive to just normal patient care," she adds.
The legal landscape is very much in flux. Bans are going into effect, some have been blocked by judges, and new restrictions are being drafted by state lawmakers. The laws that are in effect are often confusing and unclear, and doctors warn that is likely to affect care beyond abortion, including miscarriage care and treatment for ectopic pregnancy and more.
It could be that doctors' groups like the American Medical Association and ACOG get involved in the legal fight here and again play a role in pushing to liberalize abortion laws, just like they did decades ago.
"I think that medical societies have a responsibility and an influence that should be used right now," says Meegan. She notes AMA recently adopted a resolution that defines abortion as a human right, and that many organized medical groups across specialties are united in fighting against the criminalization of medical care.
"Recent political and legal mobilizations around abortion have not been led by doctors," notes Ziegler. "Historically, doctors have been a really big reason abortion was decriminalized before, and if [they're] going to be again, I think you have to have the medical profession potentially be more outspoken and united in talking about this than it has been to date."

Kabul [Afghanistan], July 4 (ANI): Afghanistan and Pakistan are quibbling again but this time over the identity of an elderly man who was seen in a video throwing himself under a car after being allegedly denied permission to cross the border.
A man who was barred from crossing the Torkham border by Pakistani authorities on July 2 was an Afghan national, the Taliban administration's embassy in Pakistan has said.
On the other hand, the Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul had stated that the man in question was a Pakistani national who also happened to be the father of Pakistani journalist.
"An Afghan, who was standing among hundreds of other Afghans and wanted to show his ID card, out of necessity and despair, threw himself under a car and was martyred," Sardar Ahmad Khan Shekib, charge d'affaires of the Taliban administration's embassy in Islamabad said, as per Khaama Press.
Torkham border connects Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) with Afghanistan's Nangarhar province.
In March, Pakistan had allowed Afghan nationals to cross the Torkham border to return to Afghanistan on the basis of their national identity cards.
The Taliban embassy shared Sardar Ahmed Shakib's statements on its Twitter page, in which the embassy condemned the situation of Afghans in the Torkham border and urged Pakistani authorities to address the situation.
On the other hand, the Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul had stated that the man in question was a Pakistani national who also happened to be the father of Pakistani journalist.
Reports and videos from earlier that day that were widely circulated showed a man hurling himself under a car, Khaama Press reported.
Citing reports the media outlet said that the Pakistani police had demanded payment in cash in order to let him passage; however, the individual was reportedly unable to pay and killed himself as a result.
This is another instance of conflicting accounts of the same event, but it does highlight the persistent complaints that Afghans continue to be harassed by Pakistani forces in Torkham and Spin Boldak.

Cornerstone Wealth Management LLC lifted its stake in shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.

There has been a sharp drop in the creation of formal jobs for those aged between 18 and 21 years, with the share of this age group falling in the overall net Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts over the last four years.
It is a trend that economists and researchers say is likely to continue, the Business Standard has reported. Data shows the share of this age group in the net EPF accounts created fell from 37.9 percent in 2018-19 to 24.1 percent in 2021-22, the report said.
“It is a trend that has traditionally been there and is going to exacerbate after COVID. The preference is more for older people, who have more experience. If one wants to bear the burden of social security cost, one wants to do it with an experienced person,” Radhicka Kapoor, senior fellow at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), told the business daily.
EPF is a welfare scheme aimed to secure a better future for employees. The employee and the employer contribute to it on monthly basis in equal proportions of 12 percent of the basic salary.
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation data shows that net jobs created for the 18-21 age group have not declined in absolute numbers.
Net new EPF accounts opened for the age group saw a healthy increase of nearly 26 percent between 2018-19 and 2021-22.
But, during the same period, the net jobs created for all age groups increased at a far rapid pace of almost 98 percent, nearly doubling their number and leaving the 18-21 age group way behind.
Unemployment remains a concern and it was reflected in the fiery protests that greeted the government’s Agnipath scheme that aims to overhaul the recruitment of soldiers in the armed forces.
The recruitment age for Agniveers, as those recruited through the new plan would be called, has been lowered to 17.5-21 years but faced with protests, the government raised the upper limit to 23 years as an exception this year.
The Indian Air Force, which started Agnipath recruitments on June 24, reportedly received 2.7 lakh applications in the first seven days. A total of 46,000 soldiers will be recruited on a four-year contract under the scheme in the first year.
The Covid effect
As the economy began to pick up with the easing of coronavirus situation, the year 2021-22 saw more people joining the workforce than had exited — this may have happened if people who had exited the workforce in the previous years joined back the organised sector, the report said.
The 18-21 age group and the group below 18, however, were the two categories that saw more people exiting than re-joining.
Net exits, calculated by subtracting the people who joined the workforce from those who left the organised sector, are the highest for the 18-21 category in males.
“There was a decline in growth rates in manufacturing, construction and retail and whenever there is a decline in these sectors, new employment suffers the most,” said Satyaki Roy, associate professor, Institute for Studies in Industrial Development.
Both Kapoor and Roy said the EPF data only covered formal job creation and that, too, not all of it, the report said.
Apart from the EPF, the National Pension Scheme accounts are also an indicator of formal jobs but separate NPS data for the 18-21 age group is not available. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/economy/jobs-for-18-21-age-group-hard-to-come-by-epf-data-shows-8775881.html | 2022-07-04T10:39:13Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/economy/jobs-for-18-21-age-group-hard-to-come-by-epf-data-shows-8775881.html | false | 2 |
MP: Tribal woman allegedly thrashed, forced to carry husband on her shoulders
A 30-year-old tribal woman was allegedly thrashed on Sunday and forced to carry her husband on shoulders wearing garland of shoes in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas district, said police.
Police arrested nine people including her husband of Borpadav village of the district for assaulting, rioting, outraging modesty of woman and criminal intimidation.
A video of the incident went viral on social media in which the husband of the woman was seen thrashing her brutally in front of villagers and later, the woman was forced to carry her husband on her shoulders. The villagers were also seen offering her garland of shoes.

The incident was reported on Sunday but came to light on Monday.
Dewas additional superintendent of police Suryakant Sharma said, “The woman went missing a week ago. Her husband filed a missing complaint at Udainagar police station. Recently, he came to know that the woman was hiding in a house of a man, who is stated to be a close friend of the woman. The husband of the woman reached the house and dragged her out in front of villagers. Later, she was thrashed brutally.”
The villagers forced her to wear garland of shoes and later forced her to carry her husband. Four villagers helped the woman in carrying the husband and walking in the village”, Sharma added.
Later, the woman’s friend filed a complaint with the police. The woman informed police that she got married at the age of 15 years and her husband used to harass her so she ran away from her house.
Police are investigating the matter after registering a case against 11 named and 15 unnamed people under section 147 (punishment for rioting), 354 (assault or criminal force to women with intent to outrage her modesty), 294 (using obscene language), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 452 (house tresspassing), 509 (insult the modesty of woman) and 506 (criminal intimidation).

Wall Street closes higher but still ends week in the red
Stocks on Wall Street shook off a downbeat start and ended broadly higher Friday, though the rebound was not enough to erase their losses for the week.
The S&P 500 rose 1.1% after having been down 0.9% in the early going. The gain snapped a four-day losing streak for the benchmark index, which still posted its fourth losing week in the last five.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.9% after a sell-off in technology stocks eased.
The latest choppy trading comes a day after the S&P 500 closed out its worst quarter since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. Its performance in the first half of 2022 was the worst since the first six months of 1970.
The S&P 500 has been in a bear market since last month, meaning an extended decline of 20% or more from its most recent peak. It's now down 20.2% from the peak it set at the beginning of this year.
Bond yields fell significantly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 2.89% from 2.97% Thursday. The yield on the 2-year Treasury slipped to 2.83% from 2.92%.
The market’s deep slump this year reflects investors’ anxiety over surging inflation and the possibility that higher interest rates could bring on a recession.
“What we’re seeing today is reflective of really what we’re going to see here in July, which is continued pressure on the markets, unless we see outsized economic reports on jobs or inflation, or some more meaningful change in Fed policy,” said Greg Bassuk, CEO at AXS Investments.
The S&P 500 rose 39.95 to 3,825.33. Roughly 85% of the stocks in the index finished higher.
The Dow gained 321.83 points to 31,097.26, while the Nasdaq rose 99.11 points to 11,127.85. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 19.77 points, or 1.2%, to 1,727.76.
The market's latest gyrations precede a long holiday weekend. Financial markets in the U.S. will be closed on Monday for Independence Day.
Wall Street remains concerned about the risk of a recession as economic growth slows and the Federal Reserve aggressively hikes interest rates. The Fed is raising rates to purposefully slow economic growth to help cool inflation, but could potentially go too far and bring on a recession.
Economic data over the last few weeks has shown that inflation remains hot and the economy is slowing. The latter has raised hopes on Wall Street that the Fed will eventually ease off its aggressive push to raise rates, which have been weighing on stocks, especially pricier sectors like technology. Analysts don't expect much of a rally for stocks until there are solid signs that inflation is cooling.
The latest economic update on Friday for the manufacturing sector shows a continued slowdown in growth in June that was sharper than economists expected. On Thursday, a report showed that a measure of inflation that is closely tracked by the Fed rose 6.3% in May from a year earlier, unchanged from its level in April.
Earlier this week, a worrisome report showed that consumer confidence slipped to its lowest level in 16 months. The government has also reported that the U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter and weak consumer spending was a key part of that contraction.
Kohl's dove 19.6% after the department store's potential sale fell apart amid the shaky retail environment as consumers lose confidence and cut spending. Kohl's had entered exclusive talks with Franchise Group, the owner of Vitamin Shop and other retail outlets, for a deal that was potentially worth about $8 billion.
Other retailers, restaurant chains and companies that rely on direct consumer spending helped lead the market rally. Amazon rose 3.2%, Home Depot gained 1.8% and Starbucks rose 3.8%.
Banks and health care stocks also notched gains. Wells Fargo rose 1.9% and Johnson & Johnson closed 1.1% higher.
Technology stocks largely bounced back from their broad morning slump, though many still closed lower. Chipmaker Micron slid 3% after giving investors a disappointing profit forecast amid concerns about falling demand. That weighed heavily on other chipmakers. Nvidia fell 4.2% and Qualcomm lost 3.3%.

Erectile dysfunction: The surprising activity that may put you at risk - Dr Ellie warning
WHILE erectile problems can be very "common", especially in those over 40, Dr Ellie Cannon shared a surprising risk factor for impotence. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, she explained that research singled out a certain activity that could be "crushing your bits".
Although exercise is vital for good health, offering a variety of benefits, cycling could be putting your erections at risk. Research from Wroclaw Medical University in Poland, published in the journal Sports Medicine, suggests that male cyclists should regularly stand up when biking.
Cycling represents both sport and a means of transport, beloved by many.
Although the vehicle can get you from A to B while being in fresh air, it could also be crushing your private parts.
Dr Ellie said: “Crushing your bits is going to cause, possibly, erectile dysfunction because you’re crushing the nerves.
“Also crushing your testicles is not good in terms of fertility and things like that.”

Abstract
Parents' divorce is a phenomenon affecting the further psychosocial functioning of children. It is established that the divorce consequences on children are long-term: adults who have experienced parents' divorce in childhood are characterized by poorer mental health, also they are having clearer emotional and behavioral difficulties. Researchers argue that not the divorce fact itself is the most important in assessing the consequences for children but rather the circumstances of parents' divorce. After analysing the most detrimental divorces' circumstances this study focuses on the child's negative feelings, experienced during the divorce, the intensity of parents' conflicts, the child's involvement in conflicts, and negative changes afterwards. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between young adults' behavioral and emotional difficulties and parents' divorce experienced in childhood or adolescence as well as its circumstances.The study involved 173 young adults. Behavioral and emotional difficulties are assessed by ASEBA (Adult Questionnaire). In order to assess the impact of parents' divorce and its circumstances, a questionnaire (Viršilaitė, Bukšnytė-Marmienė, 2018) was used. The study found that the child's negative feelings during parents' divorce predict young adults' aggression, rules' braking, anxiety/depression, self-closure also emotional and behavioral difficulties in general. The intensity of parents' conflicts during divorce predicts aggression in young adults.

LAPD: Hornets' Bridges charged with felony domestic violence
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has been charged with felony domestic violence stemming from an incident earlier this week, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Friday.
The LAPD posted on Twitter that Bridges was arrested for "intimate partner violence with injury," a felony, on Wednesday following an incident two days earlier in West Los Angeles.
He was released on $130,000 bond and has a July 20 court date. The LAPD said it does not release police reports on domestic violence arrests.
Mychelle Johnson, the mother of Bridges' two young children, addressed the incident on Instagram Friday, posting several pictures of injuries and a medical report that read “adult victim of physical abuse by male partner; Assault by strangulation, Brain concussion; Closed fracture of nasal bone; Contusion of rib; Multiple bruises; Strain of neck muscle.”
“I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won’t allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I’m not. I won’t allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person.”
Bridges’ agent, Rich Paul, has not returned phone calls to The Associated Press and it was unclear whether he has an attorney. Attempts to reach Johnson also were unsuccessful and AP could not locate an attorney of record for her.
The 24-year-old Bridges is a restricted free agent who is expected to command big money in the free agent market this summer following a breakout season.
The 6-foot-7, 225-pound Bridges was the Hornets’ leading scorer last season, averaging 20.2 points and seven rebounds in his fourth NBA season.
The Hornets extended Bridges a qualifying offer earlier this week, allowing them a chance to match any offer sheet made by another team. The team indicated earlier this week — prior to knowledge of Bridges' arrest — that it wanted to re-sign him.
The Hornets released a statement on Thursday, indicating they are looking into the incident. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said “we are in the process of gathering more information.”

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Although single institution studies have analyzed various animal attacks, there has not been multicenter investigation into dog bites in children. The purpose of this study was to characterize national trends and investigate the characteristics of pediatric dog bites. METHODS: Aretrospective cohort study was conducted of pediatric dog bite injuries in the United States from 2015 to 2020 using the Pediatric Health Information System national database. Patient characteristics, injury locations, and need for intervention were analyzed. Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher exact test, and linear multivariate regressions were performed for statistical analysis of data values; statistical significance was maintained at P < 0.05. RESULTS: A total of 56,106 patients were included, majority male (55.1%) with a median age 6.8 years (interquartile range 3.5-10.6). Incidence peaked in July (median =1217) with nadirs in February (median = 760). A substantial increase in bites was seen per overall Emergency Department presentations during the pandemic. Most common bite location was the head (62.1%), followed by the upper extremity (25.1%). Relative proportions of dog bites to the face gradually decreased with age (B = -3.4%/year, P< 0.001), whereas proportions to the upper extremities (B = + 1.9%/year, P < 0.001) and lower extremities (B = + 1.6%/year, P = 0.002) gradually increased with age. Overall, 8.0% patients required repair in the operating suite. injuries isolated to the head (OR= 2.6, P< 0.001) and those to multiple anatomic regions were more likely to require operative intervention [operating room (OR= 2.6, P< 0.001)]. CONCLUSIONS: Dog bites most commonly occur during the summer in school-aged boys. Toddlers disproportionately suffer injuries to the head, with a trend towards upper extremity bites in teenagers. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic ushered a spike in dog bite presentations among Emergency Department visits, further underscoring the need for targeted educational initiatives to halt the persistence of these preventable injuries.

In a massive setback for Uddhav Thackeray, the newly sworn-in Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra won the vote of confidence on Monday. Apart from MLAs of BJP, Shiv Sena, smaller parties and Independents, the ruling coalition also secured the votes of Uddhav camp MLA Santosh Bangar and PWPI legislator Shyamsundar Shinde. This implies that 40 out of 55 Sena MLAs are now with the government.
On the other hand, the opposition secured only 99 votes- 8 less than what it bagged in the Speaker's election a day earlier. Meanwhile, 2 Samajwadi Party MLAs- Abu Asim Azmi and Rais Shaikh and AIMIM MLA Shah Faruque Anwar abstained once again. This development will usher in stability for the new government and also pose fresh questions for the Shiv Sena supremo's hold over the party.
Maharashtra floor test: Eknath Shinde leaps past majority with 164 votes in favour, only 99 votes in favour of Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA

On July 3, the Eknath Shinde-led government received a big boost as BJP's Rahul Narwekar was elected as the Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly. While he polled 164 votes, only 107 MLAs voted in favour of MVA's candidate Rajan Salvi. A total of 11 MLAs including 7 NCP legislators were not present during the Assembly session when the voting took place. In another blow to the Uddhav Thackeray faction, Narwekar reinstated the Maharashtra CM as the Sena's Legislative Party leader and approved the appointment of Bharat Gogawale as the party chief whip in the place of Sunil Prabhu.
In a last-minute bid to avoid embarrassment in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the Thackeray camp moved the Supreme Court once again minutes before the floor test today. It challenged newly-elected Speaker Rahul Narwekar's decision to reinstate Shinde and replace the Chief Whip. Senior advocate and Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi mentioned this matter before a vacation bench of the SC comprising Justices Indira Banerjee and JK Maheshwari.
Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi argued, "The speaker has no jurisdiction to recognise whips. This is changing the status quo of proceedings before this court. The speaker yesterday at the stroke of midnight elected the whip". However, the SC bench refusing to grant urgent relief to the Uddhav camp. Justice Banerjee said, "I don't have the papers in front of me. Let all of this come up together on July 11, 2022". Meanwhile, the Eknath Shinde camp has also filed an application with the Speaker seeking disqualification of the 16 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs who violated the party whip. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/eknath-shinde-led-govt-wins-vote-of-confidence-with-164-votes-massive-setback-for-uddhav-articleshow.html | 2022-07-04T10:58:53Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/eknath-shinde-led-govt-wins-vote-of-confidence-with-164-votes-massive-setback-for-uddhav-articleshow.html | false | 1 |

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth on Monday and is headed toward the moon, the latest step in NASA's plan to land astronauts on the lunar surface again.
It's been an unusual journey already for the Capstone satellite. It was launched six days ago from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula by the company Rocket Lab in one of their small Electron rockets. It will take another four months for the satellite to reach the moon, as it cruises along using minimal energy.
Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck told The Associated Press it was hard to put his excitement into words.
“It's probably going to take a while to sink in. It's been a project that has taken us two, two-and-a-half years and is just incredibly, incredibly difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it's just absolutely epic.”
Beck said the relatively low cost of the mission — NASA put it at $32.7 million — marked the beginning of a new era for space exploration.
“For some tens of millions of dollars, there is now a rocket and a spacecraft that can take you to the moon, to asteroids, to Venus, to Mars,” Beck said. “It’s an insane capability that’s never existed before.”
If the rest of the mission is successful, the Capstone satellite will send back vital information for months as the first to take a new orbit around the moon called a near-rectilinear halo orbit: a stretched-out egg shape with one end of the orbit passing close to the moon and the other far from it.
Eventually, NASA plans to put a space station called Gateway into the orbital path, from which astronauts can descend to the moon’s surface as part of its Artemis program.
Beck said the advantage of the new orbit is that it minimizes fuel use and allows the satellite — or a space station — to stay in constant contact with Earth.
The Electron rocket that launched June 28 from New Zealand was carrying a second spacecraft called Photon, which separated after nine minutes. The satellite was carried for six days in Photon, with the spacecraft's engines firing periodically to raise its orbit farther and farther from Earth.
A final engine burst Monday allowed Photon to break from Earth's gravitational pull and send the satellite on its way. The plan now is for the 25-kilogram (55-pound) satellite to far overshoot the moon before falling back into the new lunar orbit Nov. 13. The satellite will use tiny amounts of fuel to make a few planned trajectory course corrections along the way.
Beck said they would decide over the coming days what to do with Photon, which had completed its tasks and still had a bit of fuel left in the tank.
“There’s a number of really cool missions that we can actually do with it," Beck said.
For the mission, NASA teamed up with two commercial companies: California-based Rocket Lab and Colorado-based Advanced Space, which owns and operates the Capstone satellite. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/NASA-satellite-breaks-from-orbit-around-Earth-17283200.php | 2022-07-04T11:07:57Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/NASA-satellite-breaks-from-orbit-around-Earth-17283200.php | false | 36 |

The British Army announced late last night that its social media accounts had been breached. During the period, the hackers were said to have promoted malicious events to scam traders and investors. According to the statement, the breach went on for no further than four hours, after which the technicals in the team were able to wrestle back control of the accounts from the hackers. Some malicious events hosted on the accounts were sales of fake NFTs and the promotion of illegal crypto events.
The hack lasted for about four hours
According to the alert yesterday, the account belonging to the defense ministry of the country said that they were aware of the breach. According to the account, they had started looking into the issue with a plan to take back control of the websites. After hours, the account released a post stating that all the issues had been resolved.
Not quite long after, the British Army official account also tweeted some words of apology and said it would look into the issues deeply. During the period of the hack, users were able to make screenshots of the British Army account promoting fake NFTs such as BAPESCLAN.
British Army says it will investigate the hack
The hackers were smart enough to post a link where users can access the platform to mint a new NFT for free. However, the link was suspected to be a phishing link where users would get their funds stolen if they followed it. During the period, one of the creators of the NFT, Tom Watson, distanced himself and the organization from the event, stating that it was fake and misleading. He also asked the public to report the account. The hackers were also using the YouTube account of the British Army to showcase a crypto page that had affiliations with Elon Musk and other crypto billionaires.
During a video of an interview that the group posted, it had a QR code plastered on the screen where users could donate crypto. It also promised to refund users double the amount of crypto they donate to some causes. However, the deeper details about how any of the activities were carried out are still unknown. As investigations intensify, the British Army has deleted all evidence of being hacked from their accounts. In a recent post across news stations, traders have lost about $1 billion to scammers in a year. The figure is presently on the rise, with platforms advising users to guard their details. | https://www.cryptopolitan.com/british-army-account-hacked-fake-event/ | 2022-07-04T11:13:39Z | https://www.cryptopolitan.com/british-army-account-hacked-fake-event/ | false | 1 |
Khatron Ke Khiladi 12: Rohit Shetty takes a dig at Rajiv Adatia & Rubina Dilaik comes to his rescue; Watch
Rajiv Adatia shares an amusing clip from Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 on his Instagram handle.
Rajiv Adatia, who is referred to as being one of the most loved contestants in the previous season of Salman Khan's hosted show Bigg Boss 14, is yet again making wonders on screen. Rajiv participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi season 12 and has been doing the stunts and also entertaining the masses. He is seen bonding well with other contestants on the show; he is mostly seen hanging out with Pratik Sehajpal and Mr. Faisu. They often share pictures and videos from the fun times apart from doing the tasks.
In a recent clip shared by Rajiv on his Instagram handle, he can be seen stuck in a stunt, and during this, the daredevil host Rohit Shetty takes a dig at him. Rajiv can be seen hanging with the help of the harness at a height on an iron plank. While being hanged, Rohit Shetty asks Rajiv the meaning of 'Pairo tale zameen khisak ne ka'. Rajiv then tries to understand the dialogue and attempts to repeat it but fails hilariously. The other contestants are seen enjoying the moment and laughing at Rajiv. Then Rubina Dilaik comes out to help Rajiv and asks him to repeat a dialogue after her.
Rubina says 'Sir aap jab bhi kisi kartab se pehle lekin shabd ka prayog karte hai uss samay mere pairo tale zameen khisak jaati hai'. However, even after listening to this Rajiv is unable to complete the sentence. Soon, the iron plank on which Rajiv is standing can be seen spreading into two halves. All the contestants are seen enjoying the scene and are left in splits. Unable to stand, Rajiv then jumps from the height. Sharing this clip, Rajiv captioned, "Hahahaha! I knew it in English sir @itsrohitshetty".

Earlier in a chat with Pinkvilla, when asked about the show Rajiv stated, “Khatron Ke Khiladi is a very different reality show than other reality shows. This show is all about stunts, mind, and body. It is a very different show totally opposite of what I am as a person. It is a show which tests your physical and mental strength.”
The 12th season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, hosted by Rohit Shetty, premiered on 2nd July 2022.

ROME (AP) — A large chunk of an Alpine glacier broke loose Sunday and roared down a mountain in Italy, sending ice, snow and rock slamming into hikers on a popular trail on the peak and killing at least six and injuring nine, authorities said, warning that the toll might climb.
A local Civil Protection official, Gianpaolo Bottacin, was quoted by the Italian news agency ANSA as providing the toll, but stressing that the situation was “evolving” and that there could be perhaps 15 people missing.
In late evening, the National Alpine and Cave Rescue Corps tweeted a phone number to call for family or friends in case of “failure to return from possible excursions” to the glacier.
Rescuers were checking license plates in the parking lot as part of checks to determine how many people might be unaccounted for, a process that could take hours, Corps spokesman Walter Milan told The Associated Press by telephone.
The glacier, in the Marmolada range, is the largest in the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy and people ski there in the winter. But the glacier has been rapidly melting away in recent years.
Experts at Italy’s state-run CNR research center, which has a polar sciences institute, says the glacier won’t exist anymore in the next 25-30 years and much of its volume is already gone.
The Mediterranean basin, shared by southern Europe, the Middle East and northern Africa, has been identified by U.N. experts as a “climate change hot spot,” likely to suffer heat waves and water shortages, among other consequences.
“We saw dead (people) and enormous chunks of ice, rock,” exhausted-looking rescuer Luigi Felicetti told Italian state TV.
Nationalities or ages of the dead weren’t immediately available, Milan said.
Of the hospitalized survivors, two were in grave condition, authorities said.
The fast-moving avalanche “came down with a roar the could be heard at great distance,” local online media site ildolomiti.it said.
Temporarily, the search by helicopter and dogs for any more victims or missing was halted for the night while rescuers evaluated the risk that more of the glacier could break off, Walter Cainelli, after conducting a rescue mission with a search dog, told state television.
Rescuers said blocks of ice were continuing to tumble down. In early evening, a light rain began to fall.
The SUEM dispatch service, which is based in the nearby Veneto region, said 18 people who were above the area where the ice struck would be evacuated by the Alpine rescue corps.
Some of those making the trek in the area where the avalanche barreled through were tied together by rope, according to local emergency services.
But Milan said some of the hikers might be able to get down by themselves, including by using the peak’s cable car.
SUEM said the avalanche consisted of a “pouring down of snow, ice and rock.” The detached section is know as a serac, or pinnacle of ice.
Dubbed the “queen of the Dolomites,” Marmolada rises about 3,300 meters (about 11,000 feet) and is the highest of the 18 peaks in that eastern range of the Italian Alps, offering spectacular views of other Alpine peaks.
The Alpine rescue service said in a tweet that the segment broke off near Punta Rocca (Rock Point), “along the itinerary normally used to reach the peak.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the section of ice to break away and rush down the peak’s slope. But the intense heat wave gripping Italy since late June loomed as a possible factor.
“The temperatures of these days clearly had influence” on the glacier’s partial collapse, Maurizio Fugatti, the president of Trento Province, which borders Marmolada, told Sky TG24 news.
But Milan stressed that high heat, which soared unusually above 10 C (50 F) on Marmolada’s peak in recent days, was only one possible factor in Sunday’s tragedy.
“There are so many factors that could be involved,” Milan said. Avalanches in general aren’t predictable, he said, and heat’s influence on a glacier “is even more impossible to predict.”
In separate comments to Italian state television, Milan called the recent temperatures “extreme heat” for the peak. “Clearly it’s something abnormal.”
The injured were flown to several hospitals in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, according to rescue services.
As in other cases of disasters amid nature in Italy, prosecutors opened an investigation to see if there was any indication of possible wrongdoing linked to the avalanche. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/international/ap-international/4-reported-dead-after-alpine-glacier-chunk-strikes-hikers/ | 2022-07-04T11:21:18Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/international/ap-international/4-reported-dead-after-alpine-glacier-chunk-strikes-hikers/ | true | 30 |
A poll of 2,000 adults with an outdoor space found more than one in 10 describe their entire garden as ‘intentionally wild’ in style, to encourage biodiversity.
Fruit trees, composting areas and greenhouses appeared in the list of what people most like to see in a garden.
But anything painted in an orange wood stain, wind chimes, recycled old tyres and artificial topiary balls are unlikely to be bought in 2022.
Water features and ‘living walls’ are also among the most popular garden trends of the moment, while fake animals, buddha statues and plastic ornaments are out.
Kevin Smith from Draper Tools, which commissioned the research said: “So many of us have got into gardening in recent times and it’s fascinating to take a look at the top trends – as well as those that have fallen out of favour.
“It’s great to see the number of people focusing on sustainability by growing their own food, composting, harvesting rainwater and encouraging biodiversity in their gardens - hopefully these are long term trends that are here to stay.
“Gardens are ultimately a very personal thing, so although gnomes and plastic flamingos may not be top trends, if you love them in your garden – that’s all that matters.”
Getting the most from the outside
Other elements Brits are now turning away from in their gardens are hot tubs, perhaps as a result of rising electricity costs.
Another 27 per cent don’t like to see trampolines in their back gardens, and 15 per cent consider topiary to be ‘over’.
However, some trends made both the top garden trends and the worst ones - suggesting an opinion split.
Those which fall into this 'love/hate' category include decking, ponds, fire pits, and repurposing household items to grow plants in – like bathtubs, sinks, and old bikes.
Exactly one in five respondents say keeping up with the latest garden trends is ‘very’ important to them, while three quarters reckon they’ve got great outdoor taste.
And during a typical week, green-fingered Brits will spend an hour and 20 minutes pondering how to get the best from their outside space.
Nearly a fifth (17 per cent) also admit they get ‘inspiration’ for their garden by peering over their neighbour's fence.
Adults will spend nearly two and a half hours each week outside tending to their garden areas during the summer months.
The perfect space to thrive
In total, they estimate having spent an average of £1,732 on buying new bedding, plants, tools and other garden costs since they moved in, according to the OnePoll data.
And it’s seen as money well spent, as 34 per cent said spending on their gardens is a worthwhile investment.
Respondents also say their top priority for their garden is simply having a place to relax (49 per cent).
However, just under a quarter (24 per cent) say sustainability is their number one goal, and 31 per cent want a space they can grow their own fruit and veg.
Draper Tools’ Kevin Smith added: “Our results found people use their gardens for many different things and there are certainly strong feelings out there - but almost everyone wants their space to look good.
“This is the time of year when all the work you put in during winter and spring should be paying off, and letting you enjoy that outdoor space.
“And if wild animals, birds and bugs are also able to thrive in the space then that’s just perfect.”

Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny is on the search for a new assistant manager after John Eustace was named the new boss of EFL Championship side Birmingham City.
We are delighted to announce John Eustace as our new Head Coach.
— Birmingham City FC (@BCFC) July 3, 2022
Welcome to Blues, John!
Eustace, who was brought into the Irish setup by Kenny in March after Anthony Barry joined Belgium's coaching staff, replaces Lee Bowyer at St. Andrew's after Birmingham finished in 20th position in the Championship last season.
The former QPR assistant manager told Birmingham City's club 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.”
